Message: <blockquote data-quote="Qik" data-source="post: 5744283" data-attributes="member: 6673727">Fury walks the byways of the Planks, taking in the familiar sights and sounds and keeping an eye out for possible future lodgings.  Although the thought of once again taking residence in such a gloomy locale isn't exactly cause for celebration, Fury recognizes the need for a positive presence in the district, and his increasingly strong sense of self, honed by his recent professional work, seems to have given him the strength of character to understand that moving back is his choice, and that he's a different person than when last he lived in Ranocchio.Partially lost in such thoughts, Fury rounds a corner, coming upon a small dirt square formed at the intersection of several streets.  In the corner opposite to him, three bravos are huddled together.  At first, Fury thinks them to be simply idling away the evening in typical Bravo fashion.  A second look, however, tells a different story: the three seem to have surrounded an elderly man, who now lies on the ground, stricken with fear even as his visage carries an element of defiance.  As Fury processes what he sees, the larger of the three bravos, clearly the ringleader, spits on the elderly man. "The way I see it, Milo me ol' boy, you need to relearn your place in the scheme of things.  Just think of us as the teachers.  And this" - the bravo speaking kicks the man squarely in the gut, knocking the wind out of him - "as your first lesson."  With the lecturing thug's attention turned towards the man on the ground, one of his companions looks over his shoulder and catches sight of Fury.  "Hey!" he yells, "What're you looking at?"[sblock=OOC]You won initiative, so you can enter into combat mode if you want, or are welcome to speak first (although depending on how they take what you say, this may allow them to act first).  As it stands, the trio is flat-footed.Also, forgive the crudity of the map; I'm in full-on jetlag mode at the moment (flew from England to New Orleans yesterday), so my aesthetic capabilities are far from optimum.[/sblock][sblock=Map]<img src="http://rayevanoff.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ranocchio-1.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/sblock]</blockquote>
