>>12194149http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jnme7xSq0GEHere you are, about to be mugged by a bunch of krooks unless you can make do with some quick thinking.
You have two obvious decisions.
Kabutops are pretty quick Pokemon, but if you can make an instant break for it, you stand a chance at possibly getting away from them. However, if you do start to run, that'll tip them in to you knowing about their plot.
On the other hand, you could throw the dumb card into play. Purposefully act stupid and hopelessly unaware to their malevolent scheme. You stand a better chance at luring them into a false sense of security if you do this. The longer you walk, the longer time you have for -them- to walk and then break into sudden chase.
With some luck, you might walk into eyesight of a figure of authority, one that doesn't go around stealing from children.
Uh, "heightened-awareness men", you mean.
After some quick thinking, you decide to intentionally act like a dumbfuck.
Thank god they're drunk, because by god, they actually fall for it. Mistakenly believing that you're unknowing of their plan, they quietly pace behind you.
You can't see what's behind you, but you know for a damn fact that slowly, but surely, they're coming closer and closer to you. Drawing in to make the final kill...or snatch.
Just as one of the Kabutops prepares to slam a claw into your skull, a voice calls out.
"Hey, bro!"
The sudden attention called to them causes the Kabutops to retract his claw. As the person calling you approaches, the fossil does not hesitate to deliver a death glare.
He receives one in return.
You turn around to see your savior, only to find that it's someone you met no less than five minutes ago.
It's Rigel.
