Little miss annoying pants - Ooooh, that was soooooo coool!
*she ran off only to return with 3 of her friends. She tugged on his coat again*
Do that thing again! Faster this time!
*Right before the man went up to order he saw Corvus, but under the light he couldnt see his face. The man looked like he recognized the figure for a second, then did a double take at the sight of him being surrounded by kids.*
Corvus ignored the children, but he did step forward slightly more towards the light but still with the hat pulled down low. He trusted the children would make enough noise to draw the man's attention again, just in case he hadn't seen him well enough.
**It was good enough to warrant a small worried look. The man hurried back to the shop blowing on the hot drink. The kids are still nagging...
Assuming Kiku had enough time to complete her tasks..
The man ruffles through his keys and unlocks his shop. He sets the drink on the counter and then walks back to his office. The door closes behind him but Kiku is unsure what he is doing in there. Possibly giving her enough time to sneak back into the store*
**Kiku, following her instructions, got the vial of red liquid ready, went to sip the mans drink, and then started flailing and coughing spasmodically as if she were poisoned. Spurting some of the blood around, she threw the cup violently against the wall.**
That's when Talbot, fully dressed in his attire of a large dark trench coat and an oversized hat, appeared to step forward underneath the light post at Location 1 and stared into the shop. He hit the light post with his elbow to make it give off nice clear bell like peal.
Corvus ignored the children and as soon as the man was inside the building he took off in a sprint. He ran as fast as he could to building 2 and ran around the back.
**Kiku was still coughing roughly and uncontrollably, trying to get out the words, help! between coughs, suddenly without warning she rushed from the store in a panic. Unbeknownst to the shop keeper, straight for location 2 to change into her attire.**
* when Kiku left the man saw what appears to be the same man as before. In a panic he runs for the door and fumbles the lock shut. Lets assume there are blinds in his shop also that he frantically fumbles shut. Not knowing what else to do he starts cleaning up the mess and closing up shop.
Talbots elbow will have a nice bruise later...
Inside the fence was a small grassy aira. The back wall to the building had some ledges where the windows were at and a rain pipe clung to the wall. The ledge above on the roof seemed easy enough for a grapple hook to grab. The dogs were jumping up at the fence trying to bite at his feet.*
Noticing the man saw him, Talbot ignored the pain in his elbow and ran into the alleys behind him. He then ran toward the house that was marked on his map.
*The daggers hit home straight into the dogs heads BUT miraculously hit 'hilt' first. The dogs were knocked out cold. Corvus couldn't have known the dogs were both named 'Lucky'... Corvus could hear from around the corner and getting closer a man*
Man - What are you two fussing about now? I have told you time and time again 'Do not chace the squirrels!
** Corvus had roughly the time it too him to say all of this to react**
***As Talbot rounded into the second alley a foot reached out of the shadows and tripped him. He hit the ground hard. Another foot kicked him in the ribs. His foot hurt after that kick**
Bully 1 - Look at this freak! So scary!.
*** there seemed to be 3 of them total, judgeing from his viewpoint they were armed with bats or other various wooden blunt objects***
Corvus pulls the daggers back into the shadows of his gloves. He throws the hook to the top of the roof with skillful aim and wrapping the loose rope around himself he swings from the fence to the wall and holds still hoping the pet owner doesn't look up.
Although he had fallen hard, Talbot was relatively fine other than a couple of scrapes on his knees. Luckily for Talbot, underneath the sleeves of the trench coat he was wearing, he was armed with the Hecklers and the bully's foot actually impacted one of the ironwood tonfas rather painfully. Talbot scrambled to his feet as best he could, already angered at hitting the light post wrong, the bullies have no idea what they've gotten themselves into.
Talbot - OI, YOU ****S HAVE MADE A RIGHT GLORIOUS MISTAKE!! WHICH ONE OF THOSE TWO'S GONNA BE FIRST TO EAT THEIR OWN TONGUE SO I DON'T HAVE TO SMELL YOUR ASS ON THEIR BREATH!!??
*Corvus stopped moving with perfect timing! The man rounded the corner and saw the dogs in a weird sleeping position but thought nothing of it. He then walked back.*
Man - Weirdos...
** While Tal was getting up the bullies surrounded him. Chattering and giggling like most alley thugs do in the cartoons. The main one spoke up once again.**
Bully 1 - Tough guy eh? You made the mistake pal!
**Bully 1 lunches forward and swings at Talbots face.**
Corvus let out a quiet sigh of relief after the man was gone. He scaled his way up to the roof using his rope fr his hands and the drain pipe for footholds. Once he reached the top, he unhooked the grappling hook and swung it back down to the fence farther down. He pulled the rope taut, cut off two feet of the length and tied it securely to the top of the drain pipe. He tucked the cut off rope into his belt before loading the crossbow and waiting for the man to exit the shop.
*Corvus saw the man exit the building and walk down the street. He looked very paranoid and distraught, looking over his shoulder frequently. His shot was lined up very well, but still not a easy shot to make. There were others on the street so he had to be very careful.*
**The bat on tonfa made a wood on wood sound that the Bully was not expecting. Now the other two moved in to attack in unison. One swinging high and the other swinging low**
While bully one was distracted by the wooden sound, Talbot grabbed onto the bully's clothes and spun around in place, attempting to put the bully between himself and the other two bullies. As he attempted the maneuver, he steeled himself in case something didn't go right.
(BP: 2)
Corvus was not the best shot with a crossbow that the world had ever seen... But he was confident he could miss properly... He lined up the shot and led the bolt out far enough ahead of the man that he would see it hit, but close enough to leave no doubts about it's target. Corvus purposely aimed high so that the bolt would slam into a building over the heads of the populace.
[25]
*The bolt whistled right past the targets forehead and crashed into the building, bolt shattering against the wall sent splinters flying. After this second attempt on his life he fell into a even bigger panic. He ran up the Thoughtfare in search of help only to see the figure who is haunting him blocking the road. The man darts into the alley on his right heading home.*
*two peacekeepers approached Kikus position at this point. One was a tall muscular man and the other a nimble looking petite female.*
Tall peacekeeper - Hey, what do you think your doing?
*Kiku didn't have time for this disturbance*
**Talbots maneuver worked perfectly, the bats slammed into bully ones head and gut, sending a couple teeth flying onto the ground. This gave him an opening to either run past or counter attack.**
as soon as the bolt hit home Corvus had the crossbow tucked away and he was running towards the back. Corvus flew through the air, he flung the cut length over the taut rope and slid his way down. The impact on the fence took the breath from his lungs, but he was quick to recover, scrambling over the fence, and careening towards point three.
**She said nothing as the Peacekeepers approached, keeping her head lowered with the oversized hat shading her face from view. Her hands were placed inside the pockets of the large, dark coat.**
