[emotive]

[It is, in a word, chaotic! The party-goers are all fleeing and yelling and Ai Thao is distracted by Rock releasing an energy blast from his hand. Her eyes widen, but when he says he'd take care of the guards she nods.

There's a yelp as the man underfoot slips away and pushes her, but she immediately gathers her bearings.]

Don't get hurt Rock! I'll take care of this real quick!

[Boss man attempts to throw a few punches at Ai but she dodges. Then he flees and tries to throw bottles, chairs, anything he can get his hands on. They would have hit some people who were trying to run from the club if they didn't suddenly stop and float in midair around her.

Ai glares at her target, rushing towards him delivering a knockout blow from her fist.

Here's hoping you're doing good Rock.]

Oh hi there buddy

[spreadthewings]

[ While the numbers are plenty, Rock was more used to more tougher opponents that could take a beating... and give one as well. These people are definitely nothing like the Howard Connection or the unruly thugs of Southtown.

Zipping around as fast as he can as a blur, Rock immediately does what he can to take down his opponents in a non-lethal way. One guy was taken down with an elbow deep to the gut, another down with a roundhouse kick to the head, and one more sent flying by a Rising Tackle, a vertical rising spinning kick he launched himself up with enough force, only to be flung at a group of thugs to knock them all down.

It was starting to work up a sweat. He was panting a little and wiping off what sweat forming on his forehead before flicking his hand away before moving on. ]

Don't worry about me! This is just another night in Southtown for me!

[emotive]

[With her hit knocked out, she takes out the plastic cuffs and slaps them on before anything else can happen to let him make his getaway. Ai glances back at Rock as she uses her telekinesis to lift up her cargo. She begins to float above the ground away from the fray and she calls out to Rock.]

I-I'm gonna go now! You'll be okay right? Right. Sorry, but I have to go!!

[It's delivery time!! There's a broken window so that's where she escapes and suddenly it's like she isn't there at all.

Guess we're never seeing her again!]

[spreadthewings]

Wait a seco--

[ But no, before he could even finish saying anything or his brain to process anything, this girl was suddenly gone. Leaving him alone with a bunch of unconscious bodies, a wrecked club, and police sirens heard from the distance.

... yeah, it's time to cruise on out of here.

And we cut to the apartment complex next to the cleaner and safer parts of Southtown! Like... three or four hours later because of dodging the cops and dealing with unwanted attention along the way home. With a round of the corner after climbing the flight of stairs and practically dragging his feet to the door of his apartment, the rookie just slams his body against it and lets out a pure exhasted and frustrated sigh. ]

Uuuugh... friggin' stupid of you, Rock. Why did you even agree? Stupid, stupid, stupid... absolutely freaking stupid of you!

[ Give him a moment. He's just trying to find the keys in his pockets without collapsing then and there. ]

[emotive]

[The sound of a rather loud yawn can be heard as another person makes it up the flight of stairs, dragging their feet. Reaching into her pocket, Ai Thao takes out her keys and it clinks gently between her fingers.]

Mmmmnn. Long night...

[She dropped off the man to her client and just. Wisely enough, she's not going to ask what happens to him. Job's done, her payment was transferred (she checked her bank account) and she'd be good to go for the rest of the year.

She stops in front of her door and is about to unlock it before she notices the person next to her.]

Mm? Have we met before or...




[Ding!]

Oh!

[spreadthewings]

I'll pay the rent later.

[ It was a mixture of both sleepy slurry speech and pure tension coming together in a groan as he keeps digging deeper and deeper into his pockets.

And luckily for Rock, he didn't lose it all back there! But the keys do slip out of his fingers and land on the ground in a loud clattering sound echoing in the hall.

... and a loud thunk of his head slamming against the door following up. ]

I just want to sleep already...

[emotive]

Er... Rock? Rock, it's me?

[She waves at him trying to get his attention.]

Hello?

[spreadthewings]

Mmm?

[ There was a sloooooow turn of his head facing towards Ai as he pushes himself off the door to give her a squinting look.

Just one big staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare, turning back to kneel down and pick up his ke-- OH WAIT A MOMENT HERE. Bolting back up and wide awake with him pointing at her in shock! ]

Hey, you're that girl at the dance club! What are you doing here?! How did you know where I was living?!

[emotive]

Ah... Yes. Sorry for leaving you behind.

[His keys start to levitate off the ground to hover in front of his face. She's trying to be a little helpful with her ESP!]

I didn't know you lived here! Actually... It looks like we're next door neighbors?
