Acension Revival

[Cifero Windtail]

Clare's ears perked up, glancing over her shoulder. "... I'm not certain yet, but... someone might be following us," she said, one hand on the zipper of her jacket.


Zanthe closed her eyes and focused on bottling up her emotions entirely. What she had to do would require almost super-powered precision if she wasn't going to become bullet food. Under her shirt, she could feel her recent wound starting to bleed a little. Hold on a bit longer,  she muttered to herself, opening her eyes before doing a freaking Matrix cartwheel to get to the next cover, seeming to make herself an open target. However, as she squeezed off shots at four more gangsters, not a one fired at her made contact.

[Rayleonarde]

Each of the gangsters dropped with a hit in the chest. It would seem that no more gangsters would show up for a while.

Peeking out from behind cover, Zanthe smiled under her helmet. That should keep these down for now, she thought, weaving her way over to where she sensed Ray was pinned down. Keeping to cover, the catfox eventually came around beside Ray, tapping him on the arm. "Are you okay?" 

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Al nodded in response. "Evidently enough, my head is on quite a large chopping block." He muttered as he looked a fair distance down the road in front of him and in the rear view to see if there was anyone behind him.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray was worse for wear, a graze across his cheek, a hole in his ear, and a flesh wound in his arm. He smiled at Zanthe, and answered. "I-I'm alive, r-right?"

[Cifero Windtail]

Zanthe nodded briefly, carefully examining the flesh wound. "If you don't have a bullet lodged in anything, how do you feel about getting out of here?" she said.


Clare unzipped her jacket just enough so that she could reach one of her sheathed guns if necessary. "So it seems," she murmured, carefully peering over her shoulder to watch. "Keep your eyes on the road... I'll watch your back."

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Al smirked. "Good thing I've got just the tool for people moving fast..." His left eye turned black as he peered into the left mirror, just waiting for even the slightest bit of light to hit whatever was pursuing them.

[Rayleonarde]

The figure vanished as soon as Al's ability kicked on. Obviously, whatever it was didn't want to be seen.


Ray nodded. "I'd like to go home, if that's alright."

[Cifero Windtail]

Clare raised an eyebrow. "....I think they're gone," she said. "At least... they're gone for now."




Nodding, Zanthe helped Ray up and led him back to the motorcycle, still using cover. "Do you have a new place?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray shook his head. "N-No. I was t-trying to get a new place, but someone torched it. I w-was out at the b-bar with Ronnie when it happened." He was limping heavily, obviously there was more sub-surface damage than what was apparent.

[Cifero Windtail]

Zanthe raised an eyebrow at Ray's movements. "... Perhaps we should get you to a doctor first," she said, crouching down behind the cover she originiated from. "Where does it hurt?" As she spoke, she pulled out her phone, instinctively dialing Devin.

[Rayleonarde]

"Chest, lower leg and shin. They did me up pretty good before the firefight broke out." Ray sighed, upset with himself. "I'm sorry I bothered you. I thought I could take 'em."

[Cifero Windtail]

Zanthe put the phone to one of her ears. "It's fine... at least you're not dead," she says, swishing her tail patiently.

[Tina]

(hey Moka is back, what has happened in my absence.)

[Cifero Windtail]

Clare lowered her ears slightly, following after Al. "He is sort of... limited on Earth at the moment," she said, rubbing her arm. "Losing your heart will do that to you, though he and I have been trying to find him a new one. But he does work for a group whose job is, quite literally, watching the planets." The wolf shrugs. "He might know someone who's seen something."


Cassy follows Ruby into the safehouse, staying close to the peacock just in case there's other bad stuff inside.




Cifero looks over at Sierra and softly pats her shoulder. "...Will you be okay, Sierra?" he says.

(This is all that's happened so far on this front. )
