For the Casual Roleplayer (Pt. 4)
 

[OOC]
Yay ^^ New thread! Let's get this on the road (hopefully with less spamming this time around) ^^;

[OOC]This was repost from the part 3 thread.[OOC]

A man burst through the window of the bar, shards of glass flying for several meters in every direction. Gerek (who had just returned to the table with his ice), Isis, and Tenjin looked at the man laying on the floor.
Gerek thought to himself, this is why I hate bars!,
Isis thought there is the shit, now where’s the fan?

Odd man on the floor: "I need to get a god damn label for those cases. God damnit!" Latmov looked at the bar patrons, who were, naturally, staring at him, "I suggest ducking, and somebody get me a drink!"

The trio at the table looked at each other and uniformly dived under the table, upturning it toward front wall. Almost as if on queue there was an earsplitting explosion from outside. Isis thought, and there is the fan.

Tenjin didn't even flinch as things went to hell outside. Glass went everywhere as a strange man dove through what was left of the window. He brushed some of the glass off his suit calmly and looks at the man on the floor in front of him "wow that was most certainly stupid, now you have 20 angry clanners after you"

Stephanie looked up quickly as there was a sudden explosion not that far away from where she and Ryan were. "So much for seeming to be normal... If someone finds us here now with THAT going on, whether we're acting casual or not, we're in trouble."

She peered out from the alley, seeing a billowing cloud of smoke rising up from a few streets down. "This is most definately not good now.."

Tenjin slowly rises to his feet and sees only dead, dying or KO'ed clanners "I stand corrected stranger you have no-one to try and kill you...except for me for making such a stupid move" He wanders outside and looks down the street " well this is going to draw some attention. GEREK! Tell your informant that the meeting place was "rendered usless" and suggest another place to meet" Tenjin glances down the street and sees somone stick their head out of an alley "what is she doing?" he mutters. Tenjin shrugs and wanders back inside.

Gerek: "Agreed, Isis, does that ava. comes equipped with com equipment, quiaff?

Isis nods and begins to send a transmission.

Gerek: Have him set up another place, this is not Clan Wolf territory so I do not really know another adequate spot...one thing though, make sure it's not a bar!

Gerek gazes at one of the bodies laying on the ground, poor Jade Falcons, I would avenge your deaths if it were not for the fact that you are crusaders and I am a warden, meh, this just means that much less scum in the gene pool.

----------
Note: Warden and Crusader clans have an intense rivalry, although it almost never shows as outright hostility. Think of it as being akin to the hostility between the republicans and the democrats.

Tenjin looks near the table they had been using as cover. He lets out a sigh of relief. "if someone had taken my bag there would be hell to pay" He didn't even bother looking at the corpses as he wandered out they wern't worth his time anyway.

She quickly pulled her head back as she noticed someone in the bar down the road look directly at her. "Crap! I think someone just saw me..."

OOC: Geh, I thought Neverwhere's base was in the mountains? How did everyone get to town so soon? nevermind, I'll retcon the previous ones...

Just as he was about to reach the door, Kojiro was thrown off his feet by a man bursting through the window right next to him. He hit his head on a nearby table, and for a second he saw stars. No, belay that - he saw the entire galaxy.

As he supported himself up one-handed, the pain of the broken glass on his hand focusing his cosnciousness, he drew a small knife from inside his coat.

Bloody bastard... you'll pay for that...

Then he was knocked off his feet again by a large explosion. He slipped on the glass and right into Tenjin, sendign the ninja crashing to the floor. As Kojiro looked at the person he had had the bad luck to crash into, he cursed again.

The oil had been easy enough to find once he located the lubricant storebox, but Virgil questioned the logic of keeping the automobile supplies so far away from the vehicles.

Ah, fuck it, drive on, he thought. He gunned the engine and flipped up the kickstand, then raced down the steep, twisting slope with about as much concentration as he would have needed to take a stroll. He cut a sharp turn and raced past a bar, noting in the split second that he was next to it that a clanner was threatening what looked like a freebirth with an assault rifle. He ignored in and drove on...

...and he almost spun out of control when the shockwave of the explosion coming from behind him hit him squarely in the back, jolting him forward across the handlebar. A lesser driver would have been thrown clear of his vehicle - Virgil managed to hang on, but just barely. He stole a quick glance behind and saw the clanner lying dead in a pool of blood and a large hole in the bar's glass window.

Then, as he turned back to the front, he saw Stephanie pulling her head back into an alleyway. He almost jammed on the brakes when he did, but iron discipline instead forced him lower, to make the bike more stable, and to rev the engine up even more.

Damn. Xypher's base must have multiple exits. Can't let her see me...

As Tenjin leant over to pick up his bag he saw a small pool of blood. He got some on the end of his finger and sniffed it "Your still here Kojiro, only your blood could ever smell like shit" Tenjin wipes his fingers off and picks up his bag "so Gerek what does this contact of yours look like anyway? I just want to know what to look for"
* * * * * * * * *

Kojiro was half way down the street already by the time Tenjin had noticed his blood on the floor. He cursed "Stupid stupid STUPID. He could have caught you and then it would have been lights out" He glances at his hand "and I am in no position to fight with my sword-hand cut up like this. Why did I kill that old bastard anyway?!" Then Kojiro's mind kicked in because your a raving psychotic. "no I am not"
yes you are and it would explain why your hanging around with Danae Kojiro clutched his head "shutup, shutup SHUTUP" He found the street and tried to get as far away as he could "Stupid Tenjin..."
