Kittrevsky hunched over into his overalls. The first raindrops fell from the darkening skies. As he reached the the great iron bridge the rain started to fall more heavily, great fat droplets cascading over the streets, splashing into puddles that formed between the cobbles. The feline walked up onto the bridge, keeping an eye on the leopard who watched the river intently.

The rain fell heavier still, far away the deep bass roll of thunder boomed. The iron walkway was slippery and wet as Kitt walked casually past the snow leopard, fingers reaching expertly for the pocket of her trousers, a quick snatch and grab that often earned him the extra coins needed to get by.


---The bridge trembled, a loud explosion blossoming on the opposite side of the river, dark oily flames licking the sky. Kitt stumbled, missed the leopard's pocket entirely and smacked his head across the bridge railing. He swore loudly, hitting the wet cobblestones with a crunch as his worker's cap slid towards the edge of the bridge...

Rigor chuckled catching a sneak peek of a failed pick-pocket, but her chuckle was short lived when the explosion knocked her off balance. She had to catch herself from falling, but it didn't keep her from stumbling. She looked to the source of the sound with a scorn. She never liked being startled or taken by surprise, but scorn soon turned to enjoyment as she watched the flames dancing on the buildings remains. "Even obscure places have chaos." she muttered, reaching down to pat Patchwork again. His sleep had more than likely been broken by the loud noise.

the force threw Vivienne forward, hitting her stomach extremely hard against the bridge rail, knocking the wind out of her she coughed as her emerald eyes wildly looked for the source. people were staring to head towards the source, Vivienne wanted to follow but the air was still coming back. she held herself up with her hand on the bridge railing, clutching her stomach and groaning slowly she walked down the bridge.

Patch and Henry had just finished a rather rawdy joke, when the explosion sent ripples of water crashind down over them. Patch's hair stood on end, and he turned to see the fire blossom up.
"What in the heavens?" he spoke to himself.
Hmmm... that wasn't... Patch, I need your body for a few minutes.
"Wait wha.." but that is all he got out. He choked, closed his eyes, and his arm convulsed for a second. Then he stood up straight and tall, much taller than his slouch suggested. He looked at Henry.
"My friend over there... she needs help. Go give her a hand, my friend." he said in a business like tone, his slang long gone.
"Patch, buddy, what do you mean?" he said, but Patch just turned and ran off.

Henry shook his head, and padded over to the snow leapord and helped her up.
"Sorry, miss. My buddy Patch just ran off and he said you were a friend."

"w-what?" still coughing slightly, she notice a cat by her feet, she retrieved his cap and gave it to him "here buddy" she looked back at the fellow who helped him "who are you, what friend?" her eyes traveled back to the hooded figure what is going on!

Kitt took the cap begrudgingly "Thanks Miss..." He stood up, grumbling at the dirt now splattered over his overalls. The annoyance was merely a cover, for his overalls where as dirty as they could ever be, he was hoping she hadn't noticed the brief pick-pocket attempt. He sighed, finally done with pretending to clean his clothes, and looked between the leopard and the newcomer.

With a grunt Kitt pulled himself up onto the bridge railing, balancing precariously but with the balance of someone who was used to working in high places. He settled down, tail swishing below him. The conversation was more interesting to snoop in on, and it wasn't as if he was really going anywhere anyhow... Kitt shivered slightly, rain slid down his back and dripped off the peak of his cap, as across the river the dark flames continued to roil and burn.

The rain wasn't extinguishing the fire, which ruled out accidental steam-rupture in the pipes, Kitt mused over the explosion, mentally wondering which part of the steam-pipe network would be underneath the building, one ear still cocked towards the Leopard's conversation...

The hooded figure crossed her arms, continuing to watch the fire with a grin across her face. It was usually faulty technology that caused things like this to happen, but considering the rain had not even bothered it in the least, she assumed it was done purposefully with chemical combination. She stroked her chin, observing, and when people began to gather, she crept closer, still keeping a distance from the panicked crowd.

"your welcome...small one" she cocked her head to look at him with an emerald eye, she brushed the dirt from her front and stared at the flames, Vivienne knew she would read about it in the paper, she had no desire what so ever to go anywhere near the fire

Kitt growled, pointing accusingly "Hey! I 'aint..." He stopped, smirking "Didn't mean nothin' miss... But interestin' thing I noticed miss. That building aint on the steam-pipe network. There aint a pipe, nor' boiler even underneath it...." Still grinning, he looked between the Leopard and the burning flames. They had grown all the more ferocious, spreading across to adjacent buildings despite the heavy rain.


Two small boats raced up the river, red-painted iron hulls cutting through the water at considerable speed. Black smoke coughed from their chimneys, as they finally came to a slow halt beside the break-water. Pistons clanked and hissed, drawing up water from the river until enough pressure was built up, jets of water sprayed out onto the fire.

"Miss, you know my friend. He talked about you, the only other mechanic with a mind like his, except more physical. You gave him a job just the other day. My buddy Patch. But i don't know where he is going..." he said, looking off in the direction that Patch was running.


Shiro, the ghost of the recently dead Illuminati leader, inhabited Patches body and made him run to the safe house that he had set up. Flinging open the door, he dashed down the steps, dripping water on to the wooden stairs. He got to the door and a burly looking stoat stood there with a pistol.
"BOSS! We was wait'in for you's! Da crap's really hit da steamwoiks today. Da bois in da otha room, dey be wantin know wat happened. We ain't got no idea here, boss."
"Just open up. Let me talk to Reggie."
"Sure ting boss" the stoat opened the door, into a room full of papers and maps. Steam bellowed from the two pipes that went through the room. Furs were scurrying over each other trying to find out things. The beeping was tremendous, as furs got messages and relayed them back using the codes the Illuminati had come up with. On the wall, a pyramid with an eye was on the wall.
Shiro stood on the railing.
"WHAT is GOING ON!"

"Patch?! what is going on? what happened??" she looked down at the kid who was sent to check up on Vivienne, she still could not understand, why had the building blown up into smithereens?  she put her hands on her hips, waiting for an explanation

When the furs started crawling over one another to get information, Rigor was taken aback. She didn't like people, so she made her way back to the bridge where it seemed less crowded. There was so much confusion and panic, a combination that always came together to make rumors, she wondered how exactly it would fair in the paper.

Vivienne ran her fingers through her wet mass of black wavy hair, sighing. "I guess there is nothing to be done right now..." her gaze went back to the hooded figure. she slowly walked past the kid and approached the hooded figure "you are the calm eye amongst the storm" Vivienne felt no fear, even though this hooded body gave off a strange vibe

The figure gave the leopard a stern look. "Excuse me?" Rigor was somewhat confused by her remark, but she remained there. "Look kid, once you come from a place full of chaos.." She looked back up to the fire and chuckled, "This is a walk in the park." Her tail fell and curled around her ankle idly.
