Lana meets Yuu on the street while on her way to attend a race. However, she isn't really going to the races, she's on her way to meet a potential client with a job for her. She's running low on Credits and that's never a good thing when Red and his shot gun do the rounds on his levels... (22:13:18 ) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h . | Peach Trees Resident | | MC-1 | IC | - -Is street level somewhere in Mega-City One.- says to ALL: -Every year despite the best efforts of the Judges the Mega City 5000, an illegal motorcycle race, somehow manages to be held which sees 5000 of the world’s toughest or dopiest bikers depending on you ask racing along the eastern coastline. Lana wasn’t much for motorcycles and she never followed the Mega City 5000 very closely but on street level at any given night if one knew where to look, the motorcycle gangs could be found revving up for the 5000 in smaller contests meant to determine who would be entering the mega race of the year. Attending these races was rather on the illegal side but many citizens on street level and beyond would chance the risk for the opportunity to be entertained. Boredom was an epidemic in the city after all but Lana’s purpose in being down here ‘slumming it’ away from the Peach Trees was not about chasing the high of being entertained, rather she had been brought out by the need to escape her couch potato plant which despite annoying her to no end with its cooing and singing, not to mention dancing, she couldn’t bring herself to kill or throw it out. It was precious and maybe even cute but more than that Lana knew its value and a thief doesn’t throw value away. However, when you’re a thief living on one of Red’s levels you do need to pay the price for his protection whether you want it or not and lately Lana had bee a bit light. She hasn’t worked since discovering what she did in the home of one Don Forrester, deceased. But the Judges haven’t come tracking her down to pin it on her and so with little time to spare she’s on the hunt and her focus is narrowing on the distant roar and rumble of powerful engines echoing in the streets, calling everyone to race night…- (22:21:27 ) [-:Yuu "Goth" Takumi-:] [Let agents dance upon my nerves] [Let sunlight glow under my skin] .:Let toxins seep into my soul:. -Is street level somewhere in Mega-City One.- says to . L a n a | D i e t r i : He stops as he gazes at the street, hearing the noise as he slowly nods to himself, "Yes... think i'll rather walk than lead myself to an early grave." He walks along the street as he hums, seeing the vehicles roar around as he flicks his hair behind his ear as he looks at this woman he accidentally trailed as he tilts his head. She seem.. cleaner than most of the people here. He didn't level her to on what the suit's level of cleanliness, but enough for him to pick her out from the crowd. He walks to her as he gently taps her on the shoulder, "Pardon me ma'am, do you know the way back to the Peach Trees, I haven't been much to walk around here. I only knew how to get to there and then I just walked around and the streets I don't recognize." He put on a smile, wanting to be friendly, but holding tight onto the umbrella in hand, always ready if he walked himself into trouble. (22:30:54 ) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h . | Peach Trees Resident | | MC-1 | IC | - -Is street level somewhere in Mega-City One.- says to [-:Yuu "Goth" Takumi-:][: -Being a thief in her line of work doesn’t mean always working for herself, sometimes to make a pay day she rents her services out to clients who for one reason or another can’t or won’t get their hands dirty. These sorts of jobs are a bit riskier but also worth more meaning Lana could coast a while on the earnings from such a job. However, the intense, hawk like focus of her mind is drawn away from the heavy roaring of engines in the distance as someone approaches her…Ma’am? The tall, dark haired woman with jet black hair matched with black attire making the paleness of her complexion stand out even more turns to slowly regard you with sea green eyes that convey little. She’s a walking vault. Self contained but also Peach Trees to the very marrow and thus your question throws her off, provoking only suspicion.-“You’re lost. That’s sad. I’m not a map and I’m not in the charity business.”-And with that her right hand raises and pale fingers snap to indicate you’re going to have to sweeten the deal if she’s going to spend precious time on you. She’s got a timing to meet and a client who wants to enlist her services.-“Nice umbrella.”-Her voice dry, her expression deadpan. She’s a real charmer.- (22:37:13 ) [-:Yuu "Goth" Takumi-:] [Let agents dance upon my nerves] [Let sunlight glow under my skin] .:Let toxins seep into my soul:. -Is street level somewhere in Mega-City One.- says to . L a n a | D i e t r i : He smiles still even though the of the clear disdain of her voice. Ah such woman... though he tilts his head, "Well I don't have anything with me, but I can offer you some tea at my shop." He smiles at her as he adjusts his hair and umbrella as he looks at her, "Maybe I can talk with you as well, it is lonesome in my shop." He can see her gaze, that gaze is harsh and serious, something he holds in the other face he holds close. He blinks and chuckles, "Silly... I am Yuu, Yuu Takumi." He bows his head in greeting, the roar of a passing vehicle sounds as it drives by, moving his ebony hair over his face as he growls annoyed by the loose strand of hair as he blows on it to move over from in front of his face. (22:47:26 ) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h . | Peach Trees Resident | | MC-1 | IC | - -Is street level somewhere in Mega-City One.- says to [-:Yuu "Goth" Takumi-:][: “I don’t drink tea.”-Came Lana’s response as she is a long time patron of McCrud’s and on any given day one could observe in plaza snacking on a burger or sipping on a drink surveying the colourful animal kingdom that is the Peach Trees on the daily.- “But where’s your shop, Yuu?”-She’d ask not as one interested in who you are and what your business is about exactly, but in the manner of someone with a predatory streak about her that suggests she might drop in, but not for a drink. Lana’s social skills are about as refined as a brick to the face, but she knows what she’s about and it’s always about getting paid or finding an angle. What’s yours?- she thinks to herself even as you bow and fuss with your hair.- (22:54:26 ) [-:Yuu "Goth" Takumi-:] [Let agents dance upon my nerves] [Let sunlight glow under my skin] .:Let toxins seep into my soul:. -Is street level somewhere in Mega-City One.- says to . L a n a | D i e t r i : He kept the smile, though behind that kind visage was him slowly clenching a jaw, 'Ok... this bitch is getting on my nerves.' He sighs as he motions to her to come closer, "Please.. I have need of something else, I need something important." He leans to the side as he looks around. He wanted to have some form of connections in this city, Snow he could trust, but alas she has too many to control over her. Her family is a liability that he will do his best to keep separate. So outside could be needed as he takes a look and then sees an alley, as motions with his head to head down it. He didn't want anyone else or worse a Judge snooping around when he needed this information. (22:56:55 ) A player in the room is currently... [ In Storyteller Mode ] says to ALL: ....a roar from some of those in the crowd, watching from the sidelines was heard as the call went out that Crowbar Jim had arrived for the races. Crowbar Jim was a notorious street racer know for two things, his violence of the track and his short fuse. He was literally responsible for at least a half dozen deaths in the underground racing circuit and three times as many injuries but the fans of the lower end and street level loved him. Some might have even described him as a folk hero for his willingness to stick it to the law and spit in the proverbial face of the Judges. He didn't arrive alone either, Jim had a small posse of cronies and hangers on who would watch the races from the sideline and occasionally cause a distraction enabling their patron to cheat from time to time. Arriving on his motorcycle, a custom built machine with five hundred horsepower over the legal limit Jim would crank the throttle with one hand while raising the other which toted his custom crowbar and declare that...."You motherless sons of whores I'm here to race and send one of you to the hospital. Lets do this!"....his voice had the type of guttural drawl to it that one expected from the low end of street side and a prominent scar ran over the left side of his face from forehead to jawline. Without further adieu Jim joined the pack at the starting line, picking a fight with another racer right off the spot by spitting on his bike to single him out.... (23:03:23 ) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h . | Peach Trees Resident | | MC-1 | IC | - -Is street level somewhere in Mega-City One.- says to [-:Yuu "Goth" Takumi-:][: “Yeah. You do seem like someone in need of something.”-Like a fine tuning she thinks to herself but before Lana can drop some more sage Lana-isms on Yuu out here on the street, she hears some mouth breathing street leveller shouting and hollering over the sounds of engines revving repeatedly to indicate the race is very nearly ready to start. She has a potential client waiting to hire her on and since you’re being cryptic and vague, and apparently Credit-less, Lana cuts loose without another word to cross the street in order to make her timing with her client. She is all about the money, the pay check, and about keeping Red off her back. Literally.- Had to cut here for rt. Was getting drowsy in rt, long day. |
