Skhaal and the rest of the thaxarians were tired and hungry. Skhaal reached in his cloak and into a small bag where he kept food and further behind that rested his 6 foot long cleaver blade in its leather sheath. khaal handed out bread and such to them and they rationed their food for later. Skhaal then sat on the ground in the alleyway deep in the downtown area of nepelasia. He began to close his eyes and rest lightly while all the thaxarians layed down and slept.
Skhaal began to remember more memories from thaxaria when he had a great life before his brother decieved him. Skhaal opened his eyes and looked around making sure there was no one spying on them and also looking out for nepelasian police.
The streets were fairly calm, a dirty rain falling down from the rooftops around him and sprinkling from the sky. Nearby, a couple of rough-looking guys huddled in a small hut made out of an overturned, bullet-riddled dumpster and a bunch of old pizza boxes. Looking down the narrow alley, Skhaal could see the cars and vans flashing by every so often on the street. A bunch of old newspapers and opened ravioli cans lay strewn about the asphalt corridor.
Mayu glanced down the street a bit curiously. She had donned on herself loose clothing, and wrapped her face with a scarf - she was a bit small to effectively pose as a man, but she drew far less attention this way. That coupled with a blade kept the majority of people intelligent enough to not be in her way... but the street was rather nearly deserted, and she was entirely unintimidated by the pizza-box fortress. No movements - she watched everything in silence, pondering on how she might extort those primitive creatures for all the money they posessed.
Skhaal became bored and looked to see something that would be entertaining it was...a tin can. Skhaal grabbed itand threw it against the wll making a slight metallic noise echo down the alleyway. Skhaal looked around at the filth him and the thaxarians were dwelling in and it reminded him of his childhood. He continued throwing and catching the can but soon became bored with this activity and threw it down the alleyway where it struck the ground hard and then proceeded to roll outand stop in the middle of the sidewalk.
A small burst of gunfire went off somewhere in the distance, followed by a flash and thunder. The rain came down a little harder now, and the dumpster dwellers huddled up in a thick blanket. One of the two took a drink from can of soda. As the lightning flashed again, the silohuette of a tall figure in a long coat was visible further down the alley.
Hell. Rain was not the best way to lighten already shattered spirits. The escape had gone entirely different from how she planned it... nevermind. It wasnt important. Someone there, at the end of the alley, trench-coat clad. Police, perhaps. Which didnt bode well for her unless she could catch the upper hand quickly, or avoid recognition altogether. Granted, Nepleslians werent looking for her... but news of a bounty had a way of finding the ears of, just about everyone.
Skhaal turned to see a man at the far end of the alleyway and then stood up not really wanting to fight but would is he had to "Who are you..." Skhaal said emotionless void of even fear and any other possible emotion. Skhaal reached into his cloak gripping the relic weapon, Stoneturner just incase he was attacked.
The man didn't answer, and without the lightning, the shadows concealed his presence. Maybe the figure didn't hear Skhaal over the sound of falling rain, if he was even still there. Behind Mayu, at the other end of the alley, a car pulled up to the curb and let out two men in business suits, one carrying a shotgun, the other, a briefcase.
Mayu remained where she was, motionless, not turning towards the ones who pulled up behind her. She was more aware of the situation then she let on, but realized if they were hostile to her, it was to her advantage to be as unimposing as possible. If they knew who she was already, to let them move right up close before she turned her fury on them. For the time she remained focused on the pizza-box fortress. Damn, that was one crappy fortress...
-Skhaal wasn't sure what to make of the long coated man but didn't want to find out he then swiftly kicked the thaxarians waking them up "Get up wemust leave..." many of them wondered what was up. Skhaal told them to walk down to the other side of the alleyway and wait not wanting them to be harmed. Skhaal then walked until he was about 15 meters away from the long coated man "I asked you who are you?" Skhaal said with abit of anoyance in his voice stll haing a grip on stoneturner.
The two gentlemen in suits briskly walked down the alleyway as another flash of lightning lit the alley one more, the one with the shotgun eyeing Mayu with suspicion as he past her, then turning to Skhaal's. "Pretty fucking crowded alley," the one with the briefcase commented to the other, sounding irritated. The tall, dark figure at the back end was stills standing there, and at his feet was a large, glistening duffelbag. The car idled in the street, headlights illuminating sheets of falling water. As Shkaal approached the man in the coat, the guy pulled out a gun and shouted, "get the fuck out of here, idiot." Not a very nice man...
There was a certain interest there. Money, obviously a good bit of money. But, she eyed the situation hungrily, without acting. A wrong move could end her life easily enough. On the other hand, properly playing her hand could get her off this vile world. She moved rather quietly towards them, head down, pausing briefly by the... other creature of the alley. There was something odd about him.
Skhaal turned slowly growling some knowing if he were to attack the man not only would it lead to a fight but also draw some unwanted attention. He then started to walk passing by a girl and then realized that the way he was heading had mor epeople who would want to take a a sht at capturing him for the money. He then turned and qued the thaxarians to go the way the long coated man was on. He then passed the man and they quickly followed.
Unfortunately the alley was a dead end, and obviously it was the tall man's territory, because when Shkaal passed the man, the guy started to get extremely angry. "I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!" he shouted at the Thaxarian, pointing his gun at the alien. There were several armed men on the fire escapes above him, also pointing guns at him, itching to shoot. "Move it!" the man said, kicking at Skhaal's butt to get him walking towards the street. Meanwhile, the two men in suits got closer to the dead-end.
