[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 2975372, member: 16166"] [b]...and With Cruel Abandon She Takes a Life Away...[/b] "Idiot." The rain poured off his long jacket and drained away through the cracks between the cobblestones and into the stormdrains. There was a cool breeze, a chill through the alley as the fat man grunted in surprise, his eyes open in genuine shock. Jazick put his foot firmly on the fat man's leg and pulled his rapier free of the stranger's stomach, allowing blood to spit out into the poisonous pools that gathered in the alley. The fat man fell to the ground, his long blade falling from his dead fingers. Devilyn* had a lot to answer for, the growing incidents of drunken fools staggering through the streets with a point to prove was on the rise, and Jazick's work was cut out for him. This was the third person this month that had resorted to pulling a knife or sword on him when he intervened. Idiots... The beaten hooker lay against the broken rotten barrels, blood weeping from the wounds on her face and mouth. She was barely a third the size of the fat man, never stood a chance, though she would probably feel a lot better after a decent nights sleep, rather than up against an alley wall being "loved" by men for the right price. The woman wheezed a little through blood spattered lips, in the night the sound of a whistle cut through the rain. Strange...almost sounds like private guards, but no guards had been posted in Candlestick Lane since the great fires. Either that, or mercenaries... [sblock]*Devilyn was the local brew of choice, appearing in the last few years once some brewer discovered how to use the poisonous rain to brew a more potent brew. More than a few tankards could seriously alter a man's thoughts, driving them to extreme acts of violence.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
