RE: The Reckoning

It isn't really that she tries to eavesdrop, but it was just so easy that she doesn't think twice about it.  Specific phrases catch her attention, like 'Burned his house down', and 'Crazy robot assassin'.  That sounds much more fun to Szyren than their current and rather inane expedition.

When he, (she still doesn’t know his name) is off the phone he looks down at her and whispers.

Man (Vigilante?): Let's go.

Szyren follows wordlessly, having lost interest in their game in hopes of something more exhilarating.  She orders her food and scarves it down in an unladylike manner.

Szyren: Hey, hey… uh… mister… umm… sir.  I can help you burn down some houses, if that’s your line of work.  I’m rather proficient.  Or, if you want to blow up some, say, I don’t know, crazy robot assassin, I could help with that too!  And when we’re done, what say you help me find some pirates?

She shoves a handful of fries in her mouth and eyes him expectantly.

RE: The Reckoning

(God I like this roleplay it keeps gettign funnier and funnier)

  Truth laughs as he begins walking down the street ignorign glares he recieved. He suddenly stopped as he heard a pinging he read the message that he had recieved. He smirked "sweet so the algorithm I set up actually worked lets see". Truth memorized the locations of Kyzer's chiropractor and the time of his appointment. "The time of reckoning is at hand finally I shall be able to deliver justice and free Perrenor from the grips of injustice." Truth whispered luckily he had brought all of his weapons the pistol in a pocket inside of his jacket, the pulse rifle and sniper were able to be detached and retached for easy carriability (O.o?)

RE: The Reckoning

Neil sucks down some root beer through a straw.

Then he is ecstatic.

So ecstatic his face freezes with wide eyes and half a grin--an ecstatic grin.

Ecstatic.

Then he straightens out.

Neil: You don't want... money... or anything... do you? ... Becaaaauuuse... I'm a mercenary. And I'm doing this for money.

Dang. Why did I tell her that?

He holds his hand out as if to silence the woman.

Neil: Oh wait I didn't say anything--!

SLUUUURRRRRRRRP. His leg shakes uncontrollably as he chugs the root beer. It is almost gone.

Neil: But I don't actually plan on burning any houses down. It just kind of happened. And that bottle of Jack THAT YOU TOOK--Ahem. That was my last molotov cocktail. Or wound cleaner.

He pauses.

Neil: I don't drink.

He notices some odd people with big guns standing nearby talking to a short man over by the counter. He is intrigued.

RE: The Reckoning

Szyren noisily drinks up the remains of her rootbeer float.  This man was an interesting character.  Not quite the vigilante she had imagined him being, but a mercenary was just as good.

Szyren: Nah, I don’t need money.  I don’t really… care about money as long as I have enough to buy food.  And even when I don’t, there are ways around it…

She isn’t at all bothered by these easy confessions; she hardly thinks anything of them at all.  Upon his subtle hint, she removes the bottle from the place it has been occupying, snugly fit between her back and the pack.  She doesn’t exactly believe him when he says he doesn’t drink.

Szyren: You look like the type who drinks.  And what would I care?

She sets it on the table in front of him.

Szyren: But if you want to go about exploding things, there are much better ways to do it… So what do you say?  Will you go a-pirate hunting with me if I help you with your… uh, problems, Mr. Merc?  Pro-bono, of course.

She doesn't notice the big-gunned men, but she sees his eyes wandering and frowns with due diligence.

RE: The Reckoning

At the mention of him looking like the type that drinks, he somehow feels the need to defend himself.

Neil: Any alcohol that has entered my body in the past six years has entered directly into my blood stream, bypassing my digestive system completely. Uh, generally by way of gunshot or knife wound, that is.

The woman ignores him and says something about explosions and pirates. It sounds awesome.

Neil: Yeah, sure, whatever. Explosions. Pirates.

He smiles, not looking all there. Out of nowhere, his hand shoots out to snatch the whiskey bottle, stuffing it into his large coat pocket.

Neil: Right now I'm going to protect some gangsta, get paid, and then let the robot assassin kill him. Then we can do... whatever it was you wanted to do.

Suddenly, he pales. A moment later, he starts to groan. The groaning gets louder as he doubles over the table.

Neil: I drank that root beer too fast.

RE: The Reckoning

Szyren: Cchk

It's just a sound that she makes sometimes, but she feels it fits the current situation well.  He isn't really paying attention to her at all, she figures, but as long as she can get him to agree to help her, she can hold it over his head later.  But not to kill the robot assassin seemed like less of a thrill than she was anticipating.

With a groan, Mr. Merc doubles over the table, regretting how fast he drank his root beer.  Szyren coughs and presses a hand on his back firmly, going to his side.  As she does, she sees the men with big guns that he had been looking at earlier.  She doesn't know who they are, but probably they aren't the type to frag with and she doesn't want to draw that kind of attention to herself after so recently destroying a ship and escaping the routine questioning she was sure to undergo before being granted legitimate passage into Perrenor.

When she talks, her voice is barely a whisper.

Szyren: Hey! Hey, we should probably scat.  I can help you walk, just hold up on tossing your cookies 'till we get somewhere a little less conspicuous, kay?  I'd really appreciate it.

RE: The Reckoning

(Continued from...)

Tom suddenly feels something like a spider sense. It was doing something odd... it was like a tingling feeling. He comes to the conclusion that his spider senses are indeed tingling.

His head jerks in the direction of the only other occupants of the store. A man and a woman sitting at a table.

Tom feels a sort of brotherhood, but can't explain it, and he doesn't think he's met either of these people before.

He gets up from the table and walks cautiously toward their table.

He stands there. They look up at him. He looks quizzically at the man.

Tom: Do I know you?

RE: The Reckoning

Neil looks quizzically at the man that has approached him. He knew he felt something... strange when he saw him talking to the short man.

Neil: I don't know, but... I... feel like you do.

Neil can tell the woman, whose name still remains a mystery, is rather uncomfortable. He winces through the pain in his stomach.

Neil: This is pretty weird.

RE: The Reckoning

Suddenly some strange popping noises are heard coming from outside. It soon dawns on them that is it automatic gunfire.

Bill bolts to the front door and peers out.

Bill: Those blighters have launched a sneak attack! We're getting schnockered!

Tom looks at Bill and back at the seated man.

Tom: Uhm... We'll catch up later. Looks like I've got a war to fight!

He tips his imaginary hat at the lady.

Tom: Ma'am.

He catches up to the others as they exit the establishment, rifles shouldered.
