IC: Lygo City-Adventures in Shadow...

Ricky

Watching, intrigued by the spectacle unfolding on his laptop's screen, Ricky lets out an excited giggle as he hits the record button.

He sure was glad he decided to set up the security cameras tonght instead of tomorrow night. He could probably sell this video to some sleaze-bag reality show for a couple hundred. He guesses the guy who jumped in was either a cop, or a vigilante.

He had to flip a coin to decide which to sell it as. If he was a cop, he could paint him as a punk who think he is above the law, or a badass who doesn't like to put up with some fucktard. He hoped it was a little of both.

Since this shit would probably escalate, he decided to take his sub-machine gun out of his "laptop" case. Clicking the safety off, he punched a quick code and switched to a different camera for a better view. Pushing his glasses farther up his nose, he uttered a little prayer to the goth gods of this awful place for sparing him of the fate this poor sap was probably about to endure.

[Jongluer]

Ethan seems to fly down from the second floor like batman, trench coat flaring behind him in a cape-like fashion. He then spins about and moves with a massive thrust towards the big brute. His fist slams into the man's kidneys so hard a sick CRACK!! can be heard above the music as the mans ribs give way to the force of Ethan's fist. Next, Dane comes around and hits the man square in the head, his fist hitting the man so hard that you feel his nose break and seem to jiggle upwards. As the man falls backwards and his glasses fall off you see his eyes glaze over like an unconscious if not dead man, a small amount of blood slithers out between his lips.
The small man stands there mouth agape, seeming unable to form the words, he then says losing his fake british accent, "Fuckin' shit man...you just knocked his ass out..like...oh fuck I'm outta here!" He stumbles back over the barstools and Dane you spin back to hit him but his stumbling retreat prevents you from doing so, he just moves back through the crowd.
After a few moments of awe at the flurry of action that just occurred the crowd laughs a bit and moves back in seeming to form easily back around the bar. The music continues on in its usual pumping fashion. The big guy's body is carried off by a friend who's on the phone with Lygo General Hospital muttering "Yeah, he picked a fight again...". Everything's seemed to return to normal.
--------------

Magellon your call is met with a cynical and sarcastic, "Yea...sure thing 9176 I'm sure we'll send someone there soon." You swear you can here a laugh as the line cuts out.

Ricky the fight quickly dissolves though you get some good shots of the big guy being taken down though the length would probably only be good for a site on the internet though some of those do pay.

((Ricky are you on the first or second floor of the club?))

[wraithkin]

Ethan

"Nice hit, good solid contact." He extends his hand to shake Dane's hand. "Name's Ethan. You deal with that a lot?"

[taio]

Magellon

Magellon shakes his head at his phone, "Assclown." Sighing he looked at the fight having roared down with Ethans intervention. Slowly he descended the stairs and moved over to his partner, but didn't acknowledge him as he got up to the bartender, "Screwdriver." He'll pay for his drink and then walk over to the seat he had been at when he and Ethan first got there.

[mick]

Dane's expression seems to be nonexistent at this point, indeed he merely seems happy that the fight was over

"Damn punks...Sad to see that even after 5 years, things still don't change." he says, watching as the two punks leave the fighting ground. He suddenly turns his head, as if he were only recently aware of Ethan

"Name's Dane, Dane O'Reilly" he states, shaking the man's hand for only a second, though Ethan noticed that the big man's handshake was rather strong.

"And no, not really. I'm more used to getting shot at than having a bar room brawl....It's a nice change of pace....You didn't have to help you know, cop" he states, assuming the man was a cop. Good samaritans were seldom seen in Lygo city, and the only other possibility would be that the man was a vigilante, and in that case he likely wouldn't mind being called a crime fighter. Besides, despite Ethan's appearal, Dane could tell he was a cop, if nothing else but because he, like Dane, didn't fit into the scene very well

Ricky

[second, in a corner]

Chuckling a wheezly little chuckle to himself, Ricky is mildly entertained at even the after-fight. Apparently the two guys didn't know each other.

Deciding that a backstory might give this video a little more weight, he puts the MP5K back on safety and in the case. He does the same with the laptop, saving and booting down.

He finishes his, by now, slightly watered-down gin and tonic. Picking up the leather case he makes his way past a couple freaks that seem to be thouroguhly enjoying making each other's nipples bleed with something you usually find in a mechanic's hand covered in grease. Right.

Deciding that the two guys probably were still chatting, Ricky heads down to the bar and asks the one sitting:

"I sure hope that guy didn't want to smell anything anytime soon. Mind if I buy you two drinks in celebration of your victory?"

[Jongluer]

The drinks come, and it seems like you're in for a nice night when everything starts to go wrong. The first thing you hear is a loud number of shrieks from the dance floor, the crowd seems to expand and begins to make room for something crazy. From a back corner you hear gunfire followed by more screams, one of which is deeper and filled with conviction as it booms out, "I'm just here for my sister dammit!!" Quickly followed by much more gun shots. To make things worse automatic gunfire can be heard from a stairwell at the far end of the bar, bursting from a door marked “Employees Only” is a man with a glazed over look in his arm he carries some sort of assault rifle and it's going off wildly. The band enters into a harder song with a pulsating rthym....

[wraithkin]

Ethan

"Who said I was a cop? I can't stand seeing people getting blind-sided. At the very least, they should have had the professional courtesy to at least give you a fair warning." He shrugs as he takes the drink.

As the party continues, and the jackoff starts shooting people, he eyes the man who looks to be crazed and out of his mind. Experience tell him that this man is clearly not in control of his faculties, and may not warrant a bullet to the face. He guestimates 40 feet from him and the lunatic, and decides he can make a run at him before the man can get a shot off.

His brass knuckles find their way back on his hands and he cocks back his hand five feet from his target and drives his fist square into the man's cheek.

[taio]

Magellon

He looked over as Ethan launched himself at the gun weilder, his eyes narrowed slightly before he took the drink from the bartender. He let out a breathe, "Fucking do-gooder..." he takes a long drink from screwdriver and remains silent as he watches the altercation, his eyes scanning the room for anyone else that might cause lethal damage to his partner or the situation he's in.

[kevlimin]

Ricky

"Oh shit!"

Freaking out, Ricky whips a small pistol from his waistband and crawls over the bar, hoping to put as much metal or wood between him and the fight as possible.

[taio]

Magellon

He looks over at the guy next to him with the gun and blinks, "Nice piece, I've always wanted one." He takes another drink, "Where'd you get it at?" Magellon could easily be mistaken as just another one of the zoned out fuckers who are either high or drunk as hell.

Ethan

"Who said I was a cop?

"I did" states Dane plainly, and then hears the sound of gunfire. Almost without thinking, he takes out his longarm from it's holster on his back, cocks it, and readies it to fire. He will fire at those coming from the 'Employees Only' door, should they coming any closer, or are ready to fire off a round in his general direction

[Jongluer]

Ethan charges forth seeming to just manuever through the people in his way as he comes to the man, he strikes out his fist and hammers it into the man's face. The man's skin easily tears off but the madman seems to barely notice that his jaw and teeth are exposed for all to see. He notices Ethan for the first time and screams, "BACK AWAY DEMON!!!" And swings the gun, which now up close Ethan realizes is actually the man's arm, just in time Ethan ducks from the blow feeling the force of wind it creates above his head. Dane meanwhile pulls out his rifle and placing it on the bar for a bit of stability takes a shot which goes wide hitting the Employees Only sign above the door.

((Initiative Order for next round: Dane-19, Madman-18, Ethan-15))

[mick]

Dane grumbles at the cop while he tries to get the freak in his sights

Bloody hell, get out of the way....Damnit I'll do it the hard way he thinks, slinging the gun, by the strap over his shoulder, and then going foreward, trying to smash the cyborg upside it's head

[kevlimin]

Ricky

Peeking above the bar with the pistol in hand, he glances over at the drinking guy with the cop.

"Joey's Gun and Pawn. 29th and MacVicar. That, uh, bother you at all?"

Before he can get an answer, Ricky instantly breaks out in a cold sweat, realizing what he considers to be the worst part of the situation:

His laptop case is still on the bar.

Grabbing the handle, he gently sets it down on the ground behind him, and makes a mental note to trace the camera's four-hour memory to nap this little brawl when he can.
