Lana and "Viktor" meet up and shoot the shit a little... (13:08:22 ) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h . Peach Trees Resident Room Admin | MC-1 | Imagine Chat - [ Peach Trees Block ] -Is somewhere within the Peach Trees. Home to some of the more dangerous elements in MC-1 including numerous gangs inhabiting the various levels of the block and fighting for control...- says to ALL: -After being paid an unwanted visit from Red, Lana had hung around keeping her eyes open for that stranger with a thing for chicks with dicks (snicker) but hadn’t seen or heard further tell of him. She did a few jobs on the side that strayed from her love of jewels and other people’s shit, and involved lifting crates of “Boing” material which was used in MC-1’s favourite past time. It was only legal to use the stuff IN the designated arena but that didn’t stop “Meggers” from going off to ‘play’ in other parts of the city. Today though with a few extra credits burning a hole in her pocket Lana was in a lower level of the Block where a large group of people from all the levels, gathered on an open foyer where a Bite Fighting match was going on. Two scumbags with hands tied behind their backs and teeth filed down to points, fought to take chunks and bites out of each other. Obviously the most bites won but also…the most brutal. The group cheered each opponent on while bets were taken. Lana bet on the small scarecrow like guy decked out in colourful tattoos with a set of nasty, sharp chompers. The smaller ones were usually the more scrappy opponents….- (13:18:17 ) . . . Judge and Jury . . . · Judge Stromm · Viktor Stromm : Hall of Justice MC1|IC [ Peach Trees Block ] -Is somewhere within the Peach Trees. Home to some of the more dangerous elements in MC-1 including numerous gangs inhabiting the various levels of the block and fighting for control...- says to ALL: Peach Trees wasn't the only Mega Block I patrolled incognito, learning who the major players were, I also went down bellow to the streets where I learned names and passed the time. While I was away I'd frequented a bar where a hot little number took all I had to give her for the price of a low end drink; I'd actually went back to that bar wanting another taste but it had been burnt out in a Block War that left bodies in its wake and on the street. Not a lot of leads for normal Judges but my face was semi known by the locals now which meant with some coercing I discovered at least one of the dead gang members had come from Peach Trees. It shouldn't be hard to put the dots together and figure out why I had come back here then; the Hall of Justice needed names and faces so that they could move on this low life scum. Footsteps carried me into a crowd that had gathered around two men with arms tied behind their backs and teeth sharpened to points, illegal bite fighting, normally a Judge would have dispersed the gathering but I played on my cover. Signalling to one of the men taking bets I would have shouted..."10 credits."....on the larger of the two fighters, he looked well muscled and thick meaning he could take a little more damage, then I stood back to watch the show as it played out. No one knew I was also putting names to faces, listening to conversations, gathering just a little bit of intel. (13:42:59 ) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h . Peach Trees Resident Room Admin | MC-1 | Imagine Chat - [ Peach Trees Block ] -Is somewhere within the Peach Trees. Home to some of the more dangerous elements in MC-1 including numerous gangs inhabiting the various levels of the block and fighting for control...- says to ALL: -Lana didn’t cheer. She stood off to one side, arms folded across her tall, lean frame while turning her head to spit her gum out. Unlike many here she didn’t get heavily into drinking nor did she have a costly chemical dependency. She was rather disciplined even for a thief, though that didn’t mean she didn’t slip up once in a while in a bid to get that one very pricy ‘shiny’. So far she managed to keep a clean record although if she were caught at an illegal bite fight match that would immediately come to an end. However, the law didn’t intrude here much perhaps because they were too busy putting out fires elsewhere in the less civilized parts of MC-1. Peach Trees was rough though no doubt about it but the locals tended to keep it all ‘in house’ meaning the more they contained their shit within these walls, the less likely the law would come calling. It was your voice that drew her attention from the match however and as you bet 10 cerdits she’d smirk a little to herself and continue watching you from across the way. She thought about approaching you but then that would indicate interest…caring…effort. That’s not how Lana wanted to play it since by judging your appearance you were likely used to, and even expecting in some cases, the women to come flocking to you. Instead her brilliant green eyes turned back to the match watching and waiting for her guy to bring this hunk of meat and muscle down!- (13:55:17 ) . . . Undercover Judge . . . · Judge Stromm · Viktor Stromm : Hall of Justice MC1|IC [ Peach Trees Block ] -Is somewhere within the Peach Trees. Home to some of the more dangerous elements in MC-1 including numerous gangs inhabiting the various levels of the block and fighting for control...- says to ALL: In the near distance, off to one side, I saw Lana in my peripheral vision but seeing as how I hadn't gotten her name the last time we'd met I only knew her as a face I recognized in the crowd. Adding attendance to an illegal bite fight onto the list of crimes she could busted on later if, and when, I decided that the time was right for her to see the inside of an ISO Cube I wouldn't let on that I had seen her as my eyes looked ahead at the fight. Disgusting. Apparently I had bet wrong seeing as how the larger fighter, though stronger, was slower than the smaller man who went low and started ripping pieces out of his opponents stomach, sides, and even legs until he finally fell to a knee which culminated in the smaller fighter starting in on his face, neck, shoulders and things like that. All of it was fairly gruesome and it caused me to frown. Anyone looking at me might surmise that I was disappointed I had lost my credits but the reality of it was that I wanted to Judge these lawbreakers in a serious way for a number of illegal crimes. Turning away as the fight came to an end and my money was lost I'd start to move away from the fight when the man running the bets called out his condolences..."Save it chump. Let me know when you have real fighters on board for a match."...I made it sound like I wanted to see a quality match and get my moneys worth unlike now. (14:10:08 ) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h .

Home to some of the more dangerous elements in MC-1 including numerous gangs inhabiting the various levels of the block and fighting for control...- says to . . . Undercover Judge .: -Lana allowed a small smile to grace her features when she saw she had won but it was brief and soon she was on the move through the crowd. Most knew her face and those who didn’t were soon learning she wasn’t a prostitute nor was she interested in spending time with these bunch of baboons. Elbowing and pushing her way through she’d cast one last glance your way before ducking away out of the foyer, up some steps that would lead out onto an open courtyard in front of the Block itself. She felt like a bit of fresh air after the enclosure filled up with the scent of human blood and sweat, not to mention the noise of all the celebrating baboons cheering on their man and their goodluck in betting on the right guy.- (14:17:44 ) . . .

Home to some of the more dangerous elements in MC-1 including numerous gangs inhabiting the various levels of the block and fighting for control...- says to . L a n a | D i e t r i : Disappearing I would have left the crowd and Lana with no trail to follow but the fact of the matter was I hadn't gone far. Lana had been identified as a possible good source of information seeing as how there were several who knew her face even though the amount of information I could actually get on her was marginal. As she left the foyer only to travel to an open courtyard where she could take in a bit of fresh air I'd have approached her from behind only to move off to the side until I was coming around to stand next to her..."Damn behemoth couldn't move worth shit."...I grumbled making it sound like I was still disappointed in the outcome before turning to look at her..."How'd you do or are you out a few credits like me?"...my disappointment would have been the same story as many as unemployment was high in the Mega City but then why did we bet? The thrill or hoping to get lucky most likely. Patting myself down I'd have withdrew a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of my coat along with a lighter before offering her one. This was no mistake; I remembered she smoked. (14:23:36 ) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h .

Home to some of the more dangerous elements in MC-1 including numerous gangs inhabiting the various levels of the block and fighting for control...- says to . . . Undercover Judge .: -Once outside Lana stopped to survey the area which was grim and gray, even with the sun out and the temperature soaring. It was a rare day when it rained or cooled down although more and more that was becoming the case as they were experiencing actual ‘seasons’. When you appeared however some time later to grumble about your losses and even offer her a cigarette, Lana didn’t refuse and seemed ready to talk with you. She had her own agenda where you were concerned and while she believed you had your own designs where she was concerned she hadn’t yet realized just all they were. You were new though which is why she was not going to running off to introduce you to her ‘boss’ or her bed for that matter. Plucking the offered cigarette from your fingers she’d wait for a light before she went on.- “I did alright. Better than you it seems. I haven’t seen ya for a few days…got a hot date somewhere or something?” (14:33:35 ) . . . Undercover Judge . . . · Judge Stromm · Viktor Stromm : Hall of Justice MC1|IC [ Peach Trees Block ] -Is somewhere within the Peach Trees. Home to some of the more dangerous elements in MC-1 including numerous gangs inhabiting the various levels of the block and fighting for control...- says to . L a n a | D i e t r i : Once the cigarette was taken I'd have lit it for Lana before taking my own and placing it between my lips so that I could hold it there and take a few puffs of my own after I'd sparked it. Not one to smoke, especially since it was against the law when not in a designated area, I'd learned as part of my training for this assignment though I still did it rarely. Inhaling I would feel a small head rush from the nicotine and other chemicals before exhaling a puff of smoke that I thought stank. How could people do this? It yellowed their teeth too. Laughing once when I'd heard her speaking I'd have answered..."Hot dates."...as though to say I knew my share of women before adding..."And these ones didn't have cocks either."...bonus and I didn't want it to start getting around that I liked my women with a little something extra. Looking ahead I'd have went on spilling just a little bit of a backstory..."Street level was crawling with Judges. There was a neighborhood that was block warring and no one got through. I was stuck on the other side til it ended."...seemed legit and I didn't have to go into to much detail since block wars weren't exactly uncommon. "What about you? Keeping busy?"...nothing wrong with a little conversation and she might just let a small hint about herself slip. (14:45:18 ) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h . Peach Trees Resident Room Admin | MC-1 | Imagine Chat - [ Peach Trees Block ] -Is somewhere within the Peach Trees. Home to some of the more dangerous elements in MC-1 including numerous gangs inhabiting the various levels of the block and fighting for control...- says to . . . Undercover Judge .: “No. Busy is for chumps.”-She said through a puff of blue-grey smoke and with eyes narrowing, squinting through the toxic cloud she’d continue watching you, appraising whether you were on the up and up, or totally bullshitting her. Your story about the block war seemed legit and lined up with what she knew happening in nearby sectors. After a moment she’d lift the cigarette to her lips again and ask.-“You got a name?”-She hadn’t bothered the last time since Lana wasn’t sure she’d be seeing you again but now that you had resurfaced now seemed good a time as any. There was a lot in a name around here and it would go toward finding out more about you. Not because you were an interesting guy mind you but because it was now part of her job. She'd rather be keeping to herself truth told but one doesn't really turn down Red Vancer around these parts unless they have a death wish.- |
