>>5954042>>5954047>>5954822Uggghh... Yeah, if you didn't find out what was happening over there it'd probably be stuck in your brain forever as an unsolved mystery, and then it would pop up in your thoughts over and over while you'd be doing mundane things.
>"Hey, stay here. I'm gonna check something real quick. Hiyah!"You warn your partner to stay put to not put her in any danger and, with a small grunt, you squat down and casually leap over the street. landing right in front of the hooded figures. Just to show off, no dice needed.
>*serious voice* "Stop right there, criminals."You put on your best Batman impression and approach them, you actually have no idea if they're criminals or not, and you don't really care either. But if you can scare them off then you can just delete this moment from your brain files and just move on with your life. They turn towards you looking mad as hell, you try to get a good look at whatever they were looking at, but the alleyway is way too dark. You notice what looks like tattered clothes under those robes, must be some low class folk commiting some thievery, another thing that reminds you of your hometown...
>"YOU stop right there, who the fuck are you??"Says the guy as he lifts his Red Orb like a baseball pitcher and grimaces at you. The girl next to him looks at the subtractive stone wrapped around your forehead and speaks up.
>"Never seen a stone like that before, is it a gang insignia or something? You better not square up with us, punk!">""Square up"? Kid, I'm telling you from experience, never "square up" with people you've never seen before. That's always how movie bullies get their comeuppance, and you definitely don't wanna be one of those-">"Shut it, bitch!"The girl also lifts up her Orb and stares at you smugly. Usually you'd just beat these brats up on the spot, but you'd really rather not get an explosion to the face (even if they are probably bluffing...)
>"You're clearly not from around these parts, so listen up. Anyone who messes with the Flowers Gang is gonna get their petals rocked off, especially cuties like you...""Petals rocked off", really? That's gotta be- Wait... Did she call you "cute"?! You try to think the last time someone (who wasn't your ex, fuck that guy) called you that, but you can't seem to remember. Usually they just comment that "your hair is oily" or that "your eyebags keep growing" and etcetera.
