IC: Bleeding Edge Options

[Fresno Bob]

"To wear the grey and red? Well, for new members, that takes a probationary period, ending whenever you're accepted, I guess.. Or you could be a friend of a member, like Painkiller there. Or, as was the case with me, just hang out with the gang for a while, and one day they'll hand you a bandana. That was a while ago though. Must've been right about when Promo became leader. See, we were one of the strongest gangs in Woodinville, 'till our leader got popped. So, our new leader sends us to war against another gang, and we came out on top. Lost seven good men, though. Anyway, the day after that, our new leader, Ghost, got cacked going to the store for some smokes. And that same day, another gang gave as an ultimatum. Leave, Join them, or Fight. We were going to fight, but then they showed up with a vertible shitload of guys. Must've been at least a hundred, fifteen awakened. We packed up. Ever since Promo died man, karma's been fucking us in the ear. But enough about that. Now we gotta deal with our new surroundings, and maybe taking back our old holdings. In any case, we've got some exploring around the neighborhood left to do, and you're welcome to come.", Nick says.

[gobogen]

"Alright, sounds good to me. I'll earn my bandana well. Go on and I'll follow you if what we have to do is exploration. I'm on your side from now on."

Reptile lets a smile go through his face. He would have a new family and a new home. He would finally be part of something... whatever what that something is.

[Digital Heroin]

Blitz takes a half step back. The look in her eyes, the ears chopped like that, there's something dangerous about this woman. He's wounded, she's got backup. Discretion's the better part of wisdom. Or some drek like that. He grunts, and nods, forcing a smile on his now wary face.

`I'll keep my own in check, yous can know dat. Never intend to displace no one.`

He frowns a touch at the rememberance of the man who'd struck a child for associating with another, merely because of his blood.

`You says he's a good resource, I takes you at your word. You know dis area better than I do. He strike another kid in fronna me though, might be that I get angry. Broken arms don't kill.`

While he speaks, something's stirring in his blood. Maybe the loss of blood's got him lightheaded, maybe it's the fact that this elf broad's got grit, but he's finding himself checkin' her out. He shakes it off though, best not be doin' something stupid. He nods his head, and turns towards the door.

`Any of mine come bothering you, send 'em my way and I'll speak to 'em. I'll be out of your way now.`

Hand held to the wound in his gut, Blitz makes his exit, and heads down to the room he'd claimed, to pass out until the guy comes back, Doc or not.

[last_of_the_grea...]

Mickey nods to the speaking Tiger. "Well, we'd not want to snub Grinder by not inviting the Red Hot Nukes. Besides, we need them to put on the fireworks." His lips twitch into a tic-smile and he holds out his hand. "My name's Mickey. So, where would the Nukes be at this time of day?"

After getting the information he turns to Yellow. "Hey, how did you get the name "Yellow,"anyway?" Before she can answer a thought pops into his head. A mix of pop culture and niche culture from 70+ years ago...who knows where he picked it up. Something about a guy who was given a silver arm by a dragon so he could forge lances to kill other dragons...Perhaps Ricks would get it.

[Large Mike]

Junkie, exhausted and pouring buckets of sweat from his forhead, finally catches up with the crew containing Sue, Painkiller, Nick, and so on. Without any explanation, he grabs Pain by the arm. "Bro, we need you back at base. Blitz's bullet-hole don't look so hot."

[Fresno Bob]

"Junkie! I haven't seen you in a while, man. What's that? Blitz is in trouble? Down at the old hotel? Lead the way! C'mon guys!", he says, pushing past him, then breaking into a run back to the hotel.

[JongWK]

(ER face)

"Sue, Nick, when we get back you're helping me with Blitz... the guy's one heavy fragger. Junkie, I'll need you to fetch my medkit."

(/ER face) ;)

[Grey]

Ricks says to Nick, "So where would we find the Nukes? I guess we outta go give em the invite."

[kevyn668]

Sue turns to Painkiller, "I'll do what I can, but I'm bett'r at puttin bullets inta folks then takin 'em out." And takes off after Nick, "On m'way!"

[gobogen]

Since he has nothing else to do at that point, Reptile follows them. Maybe he will be able to help too.

"I've a Medkit at my place in case you need one. I can go get it if you want..."

[Large Mike]

When you finally arive at the hotel, Blitz is *really* starting to hurt. The makeshift bandages around his waist are bled right through. Painkiller cuts the bandages off, revealing that a bullet has totally ripped up Blitz's guts. There's a hole the size of a fist, and that exposed intestines look like dog-meat. There's also a fairly obvious hole where the bullet is still. Easy to find, but a little more difficult to get to.

[Fresno Bob]

"Fucking hell, Blitz. I told you to be careful. No, you just had to be a tough trog.", he says.

"Hey, Pain...maybe we should knock him out for this. Sue's got some alcohol...but that makes you bleed more, doesn't it. Maybe we could just punch him in the face a bit?"

Then he reaches into his boot and pulls his knife out.

"Here, you need this?"

[kevyn668]

Sue scrunches up his face when he sees the gaping hole, I know we all got it commin' but when I get my nod, I want to go fast and furious. Not drawn out and left ripped open in front of folks like this...

He shakes his head and lets out a low whislte. "I don't think the flask has enough to put 'im down. We could try knockin' him out."

Sue rummages around the room and comes up w/ a broken chair leg. He tuns back to Nick, " 'Ere, you do it. I'll hold 'im down." He hands Nick the chair leg and takes off his jacket, revealing a Seattle Screamers Urban Brawl Jersey and an expanse of muscles. Sue moves into position to hold the monstrous Troll down.

[JongWK]

Looking at Blitz's troll-sized wound and waiting for his medikit, Painkiller finds himself facing difficult questions.

I could use a couple of tranquilizers, but can I risk killing him? Do I move him to a cleaner place or not? And what the frag's on primetime trid tonight?

"Aw frag, we're doing this the old fashioned way. Blitz, hold your cojones and take this morphine. It will ease the pain.

Let's just hope that there's something else than a goddam' rerun tonight"

[Digital Heroin]

During the process of everyone debating, Blitz just holds silent, when offered the morphine his expression darkens, and waves it off.

`I lived through it this long, I'll live a little longer...`

His body's staying pure now. Drugs were his father's crutch. He is not his father. He waves off Sue as well; pain is his friend. Pain reminds him he's still alive. He occupies himself while Painkiller goes to work leveling his gaze at Nick. If he makes a swing, hole in his gut or not Blitz's is gonna strip that chairleg from him, and it's gonna take one hell of an effort not to swing it right back.

[Fresno Bob]

Nick sets the chair leg down and pulls of his motorcycle jacket.

"Blitz...man. This is gonna hurt, but less than getting your stomach carved up while awake.", he says, picking up the leg.

Nick leans in close to Sue and whispers "Make...sure...you hold him the fuck down. He's strong as a fucking dragon."

"Try not to freak out man. I'm trying to help you.", he says to Blitz one last time. Then he swings it at the side of his head, hoping for a knockout landing.

[Digital Heroin]

An image of his father's striking hand flashes across Blitz's vision as the chairleg careens towards his skull. He growls and tries to wrench an arm free from Sue's grasp to strike out and destroy (Smashing Blow attack) the offending object.

[kevyn668]

Gritting his teeth and straining against the force of Blitz's strength, "Easy big guy. Don't do anything we might all regret..."

[last_of_the_grea...]

After dealing with the Tigers Mickey leads Ricks and Yellow back toward the new pad, but down the other side of the street...just in case they bump into someone important. When they finally arrive the noises of what sounds like a fight emanate from the place. He raises his eyes a little, looking at the two again. "We better go see if that involves one of our guys.

He strides into the building, following the noise and holding his big wrench. Dammit, he hadn't had a chance to get new spray cans! How could he mark the scene without them? His eye and lip tic'd nervously at the thought of an unmarked fight location!

When he got into the room and saw a bunch of Edgers holding down Blitz and Nick trying to smash the hulking troll with a chair leg he relaxes, leaning against the wall and calmly states in a voice loud enough for all to hear, "Five Nuyen on Blitz."

[Grey]

Ricks frowns, trying to figure out what the hell is going on. "What the fuck, Mickey? You guys beat eachother up on a regular basis?"

[kevyn668]

He's red in the face and the tendons are starting to stick out on his neck now. Sue looks up at the Dwarf Pimp and between grunts he puffs out, "What? You never been 'Jumped In' before?"

[gobogen]

Reptile, not being introduced to anyone, watches from a distance. He wonders what the hell they are doing... If a troll doesn't want to be hit on the head, however wounded he might be, you should not try to hit him. Looking at Nick, he wonders if the guy is even strong enough to actually knock a troll unconscious, especially a though one like that one.

If I was in his situation, he thought. I wonder what I would do.. would I take the drug? Overall I think he's right about the drug, but I would at least take the hit on the head... the pain must be unbearable.

[Grey]

Ricks walks over finding the struggle a bit thrilling, then he spots the wound in the trolls gut. "Whoa! That's quite the hole you got there..."

Ricks moves around to where Blitz head is and bends down. He reaches his hand out and puts two fingers behind his ear. For a moment, everyone can't help but notice Ricks, even Blitz would be hard pressed not to stop and gaze at him, for he is the essence of the Seductress. The tip of Ricks fingers glow slightly as the Heal spell takes is effect on Blitz.

[last_of_the_grea...]

Watching Ricks turn on the juice he shakes his head. His ice cold exterior breaks for a moment and he sings out softly while the healing mojo flows, "When I get that feeling I want...sexual healing..."

When he realizes he sang it out loud he winces, his trigger finger twitching. This dwarf was gonna be a bad influence! He had no time or place for humour...he had a war to fight. He had to stay cold and hard, dammit!

[Buddha72]

The sound of a high performance engine carries in from the street, one of those over worked crotch rockets you see roaring on the highways.
