"So they hire a mercenary. Or enslave some criminals with guns.", Lancer shrugs, "Shouldn't be that hard to find out if we go beat up what's left of the local thugs"

Laoise makes an uncertain sound. "Fine. I'll leave that to you. ...You aren't going to walk around and hit people while carrying that thing, are you?"

"Why not?"

Agita · « **Reply #103 on:** July 09, 2013, 10:40:35 AM »

"Be- because..." Laoise can't come up with a good reason other than common sense. "...Because. She grimaces. "Anyway, if you're going to threaten some thugs, do it."

"Just need some bait. They'll come. Thugs never change."

Agita · « **Reply #105 on:** July 09, 2013, 10:51:44 AM »

"Bait? L- like what?"

veekie · « **Reply #106 on:** July 09, 2013, 12:09:59 PM »

"Just look a bit alone and lost."

Agita · « **Reply #107 on:** July 09, 2013, 12:23:48 PM »

"What? No! You can be bait just fine! You're even smaller than me." Indeed, Laoise already does a good job of that naturally.

veekie · « **Reply #108 on:** July 09, 2013, 12:37:52 PM »

"I never look lost!" Lancer takes a proud stance. He's probably the type who'd when lost, just go even faster.

Agita · « **Reply #109 on:** July 09, 2013, 12:56:25 PM »

"Easy. Just drop the stupid motorcycle, walk down random streets, and look around a lot. Why should I be bait?" Laoise looks more scared than offended at the prospect.

veekie · « **Reply #110 on:** July 09, 2013, 01:13:10 PM »

"You're better at it, got victim written all over." He thrusts out his chest, "I'm the one who kicks people around!"

Agita · « **Reply #111 on:** July 09, 2013, 02:01:46 PM »

"So you're a bully. That's even more reason you should be bait."

veekie · « **Reply #112 on:** July 09, 2013, 02:09:36 PM »

"I'm no bully!", in a huff, Laoise has only an updraft for a warning before Lancer goes straight up a wall and out of her sight, sending skirts flying.

Agita · « **Reply #113 on:** July 09, 2013, 04:32:29 PM »

"You are! Don't just leave me here alone!" Laoise yells after Lancer and is summarily left alone in a dark alley. Nothing for it, she buries her hands in her sweater and heads back the way she came.

Bozwevial · « **Reply #114 on:** July 09, 2013, 08:38:33 PM »

The alleyways seem a great deal bigger without Lancer standing nearby. It's oddly quiet - surely there should be someone out and about nearby?

As it turns out, the someone who is happens to be lurking in a shadowy side passage. He looms over Laoise, looking nearly as large as Berserker in the gloom. What little of his face that's visible appears to have been carved by a sculptor with a missing hand - gashed, jagged scars mar a craggy face. A leather jacket valiantly tries to stretch over his frame. "Out late, aren't you?" he says, voice oddly quiet and low.

Agita · « **Reply #115 on:** July 09, 2013, 11:04:28 PM »

Laoise doesn't jump or flinch. Instead, she shrinks before the giant of a man, staring at the wall to her left. "Y- yes... I was... um... looking around the neighborhood..." She casts a glance up at the rooftops, where Lancer is standing ready. Hopefully.

Bozwevial · « **Reply #116 on:** July 09, 2013, 11:52:15 PM »

"Hmph. You're not Japanese." It's not a question. The man leans against the wall, frowning. "Why go looking around here now instead of during the daytime, kid?"

Agita · « **Reply #117 on:** July 10, 2013, 09:03:57 PM »

Unsure, Laoise takes a step back, still not meeting the man's eyes. She doesn't try to confirm or deny his observation. "I had... have a lot to do during the day, so..."

Bozwevial · « **Reply #118 on:** July 11, 2013, 12:07:50 AM »

A grunt. The man scratches his nose with one sausagey finger. "'S not a nice neighborhood. People like me in it, you know? Better steer clear until daytime."

Agita · « **Reply #119 on:** July 11, 2013, 10:48:54 AM »

There aren't many ways Laoise can respond in this situation. "Um... do you know anything about the people that were killed here last night?"
