This is a stick up, stick up
Who: Skyler (strikeraid) and Kotetsu (earnedmystripes)
When: January 8th, around 5 pm ish?
Where: An alleyway between the Dead District and the Bohemian district
What: B U S T E D. Copdad catches Thugson in the act. No one is happy. ha. ha. ha....
[ Routine, routine. Despite himself, Skyler's kind of getting used to beating up people and taking their belongings. Hell, it's not like that's exactly a novel thing for him. It's just a step up from lunch money and video games, right? Literally leaving his victims beaten up with no guarantee of help forthcoming had kind of bothered him at first, but it was for the Keys. No, Ari. It was for her. Both, kind of, but he had his priorities straight. Definitely. ]
Earth to Rookie. Wake up, dipshit.
What? [ Skyler's surprised out of his thoughts, too offbalance to use his deeper Key voice. He can feel his green hoodie'd superior rolling his eyes at him through his shades. ]
If you and Sevens are gonna keep using those stupid voices, keep remembering them or you're gonna look as dumb as you are. [ Green Hoodie nods over at the guy he's holding against the wall, who's already beaten up nearly beyond recognition, blood oozing slowly from his nose as he moans quietly. He doesn't look as though he'll be fully conscious anytime soon. ] Pull his pockets.
[ Skyler nods obediently, shoving his pipe through his sash tied around his back and reaching over to pull out his jacket pockets. It's just this guy, and then the pair are going back to check in with the rest of the group. Nothing could possibly go wrong. ]

...The best-laid plans. The sight of the injured man catches his eye, and were Kotetsu a different sort of man, he may perhaps have looked the other way and moved on.
Instead, he approaches, despite every instinct telling him he’s practically begging to get a beating here.]
Oi, punks. [he barks, confrontational in tone and expression.] The hell do you think you’re doing?
no subject
His green hoodie'd leader, seeing his sudden halt, just laughs. ] Relax, Newbie. I got this. [ He raises his voice and his fist, aiming it at the poor victim's face, looking back at the police officer and speaking with amusement. ] Go home, officer. Nothin' to see here, got it? We're just havin' a talk with a friend, is all.
[ Skyler slowly gets up and circles until Green Hoodie is between him and Kotetsu. Nope. Nope. This may have worked with other cops way too easily, for reasons he's beginning to understand, but it won't work with this one. He knows Kotetsu too well. Go away. For once in your life, Kotetsu, just go away. ]
no subject
If that's a talk that involves fists, then we're going to need to have a talk that involves handcuffs.
[His voice is still every bit as cocky and confrontational as before, not letting anything betray the fact that he is currently minus a police vehicle. He is armed, but it's a standard-issue handgun, and he's heard some of the Blood Keys are packing military-grade weaponry. Still, he's refusing to be intimidated, here.]
no subject
... You for real? Look, our territory, our rules. Ain't that right, Newb?
[ Skyler nods from his place, still positioning himself so his partner is between him and Kotetsu. He doesn't trust his voice right now. Satisfied, Green Hoodie chuckles to himself and continues, turning away from Kotetsu and towards his victim. ] Go play cops and robbers somewhere else, old man. [ Aaand with that, he lets his fist fly. WHAT DO? ]
no subject
[...oh NO YOU DON'T. Kotetsu doesn't even think as he sees that fist aiming for the injured man's face, just moves, and all of a sudden he's blue, and Green Hoodie is flying into the opposite wall, despite his intentions to only block.
And before he can begin to react to or process any of that, he zones out in that familiar sensation of a pulse, staring off into the middle distance.]
no subject
Skyler stares with the eyes of a deer caught in the headlights. And... so is Kotetsu? He's having an echo, but Skyler can't bring himself to leave. His instinct now is to stay and fight like any other Key (something in the back of his head is telling him to fight, to fight, to avenge the fallen Key), but he can't fight Kotetsu, he just can't. So he'll just be in the same place when Kotetsu gets back, his arm slightly in front of him with his fingers slightly curled around in something that doesn't even look like it's trying to be a fist. Trying to run. ]
finishing words, that's a good idea
The glow flickers, on, off, and he can feel the power surging and fluctuating inside him in a terrifying and chaotic storm. He thinks of that kid, wonders if that was his 'past' self's entire life, and it almost makes him ill right there.
Kotetsu stares at the fallen men, and then stares at the other Key, stepping forward only a couple steps intending to ask the guy to call for help for his friend and the mugged dude, he doesn't want to risk touching anything
maybe ever again]Hey--
DON'T WORRY WE ARE GONNA GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER
... He wasn't prepared for his own blast of air, though. The shades on his nose gets caught in an updraft, blowing off his nose and landing askew at his chin, still hanging off his left ear. Skyler's eyes widen. He's not wearing his contacts. He can hear his pulse beat once in his ears, drowning out all the noise. Oh. Fuck.
He's running before he can register what happened entirely. He's using his full cyborg speed, stumbling over his feet in his bid to get away. His shades are in his hand now, his teeth bared in a grimace as he tries to go faster, faster.
Oh God. Oh God. He is so fucked. ]
aaaaaalways
Skyl--
[...but by the time he says his name, he's gone, leaving Kotetsu glowing blue in an alleyway with two injured men, unsure what to do.]
