Open Can't catch me lead feet!

[Oleander]

Spring 65th, 513AV Diving over a crate and into a roll, returning back to his running form, Oleander was being chased but a couple of men that were hot on his trail. There were about two brutes, two skinny thugs and one athletic thug. Each one angered and wanted to catch Oleander no matter what. Oleander was running as fast as his could, maintaining speed, making sure that he’s not going too fast or too slow. If Oleander were to go too fast, he wouldn’t be able to control his momentum and will crash into thing. If he was to slow, the obvious would happen. The group of men continued chasing Oleander as he jumps out of the alleyway and into the streets. This whole incident started when a ‘client’, who is the athletic thug, requested Oleander's services. He wanted Oleander to spy on a rival combatant and wanted to know what training routine he was undergoing. However, this ‘Client’, despite looking combatant, was a thug. He was hoping to rob a 16 year old boy, thinking that it wouldn’t be much trouble. However, he thought wrong. When Oleander had gone to location specified, he noticed that it was an ambush and the planning for it was poorly done; it was also extremely predictable. The Thug’s plan was to make Oleander go into a secluded location, then use his skinny thugs to lure oleander into a dead end, and seal the only path out by using his brutes. The plan was far too simple and Oleander was able to escape by using his agility and a shuriken. Oleander ran though the many groups of civilians in the city, dodging them, hoping that the thugs will slow down from the ongoing people. As Oleander dodged the people, he then spotted a wall that was fairly high. Oleander made an on spot decision to run toward the wall. His breath was harsh and heart was pumping. The thugs were relentless. Oleander was closing in on the wall. When was close enough to the wall, he leaped off his right foot, planting his left foot on the wall, preparing for a second jump up the wall. Oleander pushed his left foot down, forcing his momentum to go upwards. He then reached for the ledge of the wall, grabbing on to it with on hand, then the other. He quickly pulled himself up and jumped down into an alleyway, preforming a safety roll to disburse excess momentum that could harm him if he had landed flat on his feet. After preforming the roll, he fluidly returned to his running form through the alleyway. However, two skinny thugs followed that action as well. So far, there was two skinny thugs that are on Oleander's tail, the two brutes are somewhere out of sight and that one athletic thug is also somewhat out of sight. These guys just don’t know when to quit… I need to slow these guys down… so I can save some energy… Oleander looked left and right, looking at how narrow the walls are in the alleyway. He then turned back to see his pursues. Okay… narrow walls… chasers… how can I slow them down…? AH! Oleander reach for one of his bet pouches and pulls out another bag. The bag Oleander just pulled out was full of caltrops, spikes used to penetrate feet, including footwear. Oleander untied the string on top of the bag using his teeth, and then spilled the bag behind him. The sound of metal hitting the ground could be heard, followed by the voices of a thug screaming in pain. Oleander smirk and continued run. However, it seemed only one thug was harmed by this action. The other saw what Oleander was doing and was about to warn if friend, but it was too late for him. Oleander made it out of the alleyway, leaving a skinny thugs screaming in pain. However, it seems that the athletic thug is still commanding the brutes, trying to cut Oleander off again. Oleander would like to use a shuriken, but there were too many innocents around that could get hit. The caltrops were out of the picture as well. Oleander needed some sort of miracle to escape this restless chase.

[Fubuki Kouri]

OOCThose damned thugs!! I would not let them hurt Oleander! "Hm hm hm~♪" Humming a happy song, Kouri was taking a stroll in the lovely Syliras City. The people are busy, the air is stale, and the sun is shini- oooh, how silly, the sun couldn't shine through the thick stone ceiling that covered the fortress the people called a city. How lovely indeed. Phasing through people and objects, with the occasional gasp of shock and terrified curses from the people she so harmlessly phased, Kouri was taking a break after the intense battle two days ago. Where she joined the expedition to hunt the Pirate Captain Braten together with the Svefra at the Suvan Sea. Casualties were sustained, but the Svefra triumphed in the end. All is well, all is well, a few hundreds or thousands dying didn't really matter right? Right. Kouri didn't know why, but she was feeling rather annoyed today. Annoyed to the point she could kill a rabbit or two for mere amusement, but then Akilia would scold her again. Sigh... she heaved a sigh in her mind. The Wolf Kelvic was a very lovely person of course, she just have to be careful not to torture animals in front of her... it was clear that Akilia didn't like it one bit. Continuing her lovely stroll in the lovely sun-less street, Kouri was thinking of returning to the Bronze Woods and kill a wolf or two when she heard... Yelling? She could heard the protests of people being crashed and shoved by something or someone ahead of her. It couldn't been her as she could phased harmlessly through people. She floated upwards to six feet above the ground for a bird eye's view of the crowd. That's when she saw a... hooded figure running through the crowd and two people, one looked brutish and one looked athletic, who seemed to be chasing the hoode-... "Sir Merle?!" She recognized that hood, that dark hood and when the hood flew open due to the man's running motion, it all became clear to her. The hooded man was definitely Sir Merle, the person she made friends with in the Great Bazaar at the 43rd of Spring, 22 days ago to be exact. W-what's happening? Why are they chasing Sir Merle? Oh... they must be bad people!! Kouri judged that Sir Merle was a good person then the hostile people chasing him must be bad persons. I will help him! Kouri decided to assist her friend. Both Merle and the thugs ran past her location, she turned around to join in when one more brutish thug came out of an alley in front of Merle and cut him off. Now he was surrounded and the thugs forced him to go into an empty alley the brutish thug came out from previously, most likely to do something horrible to him. "Grrrrrr!" Kouri growled and quickly flew to follow them. Arriving at the location, she saw Merle being cornered, it looked like he was about to use some kind of hidden weapon, but it's unlikely he would get them all before he himself got punched in the gut. "....." But Kouri would not have that, she would make those simpletons pay for threatening her friend. She quickly flew above them and quickly dropped down. "Ehehehehehe~" Letting out a creepy giggle, her haunting voice echoing in the empty alley. "Hello, gentlemen~" She flashed the thugs a fanged grin. The thugs were visibly shocked and bewildered, one couldn't blame them. Not everyday that a translucent little girl with eerie haunting voice, very long silvery white hair, blood red eyes, and bloodstained dress floated down before them. The utter wrongness of the sight caused the thugs to be stunned. Kouri intended to use this to her full advantage. "Hissssssssss!" Kouri hissed like a snake to intimidate the thugs away, then she saw a dagger perched inside a scabbard on one of the thug's waist, she quickly jutted out an ethereal black tendril from her back and picked up the dagger with it. Then she made a slashing motion and slashed the athletic thug's stomach. "Hehehehehe~" The dagger was stained with the thug's fresh blood. Kouri then made the dagger spun on its own axis and hissed at the thugs once more "Back off!! Or I will... kill everyone single one of you..." She gave an ultimatum, an ultimatum she was more than willing to realize. OOCI took some liberties in controlling the thug's actions. If I overstep my boundaries, please let me know, Ole. And I will edit my post. If not, then yay! Thank you!

[Des]

All this commotion scared off the woman Des was questioning about her recent attack by bandits along the Kabrin Road. Clinching his hand into a fist in anger of losing, potential valuable information. So angered by his loss goes over to confront the sadistic ghost.

Walking over to the downed thug and floating ghost. The bleeding thug grabs Des' ankle. In a loud frighten voice the thug pleas for Des to save him. Des annoyed by his voice pulls his leg from his grasp and forcefully places his foot over the thugs mouth. " You talk to much, if you try a say another word i will kill you ". Fiercely looks at the ghostly image of what was once a little girl.

Takes a breath and in a strong commanding voice " Stop now you have gone to far, if you do not stop i will "!
