MutantHigh Episode3: Speed limit

[Shalimar]

"Aww, your such a guy. You wouldn't know romantic if it bit you on the ass. I thought it was sweet." Eris says defensively as she pulls into a parking spot. "Besides its not half as bad as the lines I get, you should hear them sometime." she says getting out of the car, leaving her blades in the car for the time being, til she knew the lay of the land.

"Lets find Katie and see whats going on."

 

[Tokiwong]

Joey followed laughing all the while, "Yeah that was romantic alright. I guess that isn't my thing, I think she made her way to the contest straight away, knowing her. I am not trying to knowkc you, it just sounded lame, and trust me I can only imagine some of the lines guys use to pick up the betties... just amusing watching you get all defensive."

The east end of the city if Isla Verde
20:57
Eris finally managed to get something to drink and is back on her way to there she last saw Joey. Katie is back on the show after her team had a break and so far they seem to be among the best. Right now Eris is still behind the stage there some new band from Costa Rica plays and on her way around to get back into the crowd but then a sudden movement at the edge of her sight attracts her attention. Looking up she can see a lithe figure climbing high in the support beams. A massive Energex commercial sign above the stage covers the movement from the crowd on the other side. Then her eyes adjust to the darkness and she can clearly see it is a man about her size in black leather clothes with white stripes on them. He seems to be on his way to some kind of electrical unit on the side there a lot of cables converge. If she hurries she might get up there before he reaches it while it is hard to guess how long it would take her to find Joey among the partying crowd.

the Rift
20:30
Jakson can see almost the whole cescent shaped bay from the club. It is located at the top of a twenty story high building right at the waterside and probably the most expensive place in the city. His company for the evening seems to settle for nothing less. Like the daringly short green designer dress she is wearing. Both Fabienne and he fit in perfectly. Currently they sit on the window and enjoy a fiew drinks, the real life here just begins to start. She asked some questions about you at the start but never something that seemed imortant. Now she just stares dreamily over the water.
"You realy cane around. I'll get out of here soon, its nice here but I want to live in the realy big cities."

 

[Shalimar]

When Eris's enhanced senses are drawn to the climbing figure in the scaffolding she just shrugs, he could have a valid reason to be climbing up there, she thought to herself, Aww, hell, anyone with fashion sense that bad can't be good.

She hurriedl makes her way to the scaffolding, and then using her powerful leg muscles begins to leap up the supports from beam to beam to beam, rising up pretty fast, doing what she can to move silently and not be noticed.

(Hide, Move silently +13, not sure how leap affects the hide though, she'll use the sign like leather boy to hide her.)

There are lights on the stage and on two other towers that constantly wander over the competition areas while the band and dozens of commercial signs are in the middle of spotlights all the time. It is not yet loud enough that you would have to scream to hear your own voice but close. It is pretty sure that no one would notice somone climbing up even if it where King Kong himself. Your leaps bring her up fast and it almost ridiculously easy to find your balance on the beams even under the conditions here. Shortly before you reach the control panel the figure suddenly looks into your direction and increases its own speed. You get there a second before him and stand on the same beam right between him and his target. He stops and eyes you curiously, only the lower half of his face is masked and you are pretty sure it is that Enrique guy from school. He cerntainly sounds just as arrogant.
"Nice leaps kitten, now get out of my way."

 

[Shalimar]

"Kitten?" Eris asks, before shrugging and smiling at him. "Why don't you tell me what you want up here, then if I like it, I'll help. Would you like that?" she asks suggestively treating the beam as if it was only an inch of the ground as she struts towards the other Delta.

"Come on Enrique, lets get down and you can buy me a drink and you can tell me all about it."

"Come on Enrique, lets get down and you can buy me a drink and you can tell me all about it."

He stands as sure as she does but he doesn't move a bit.
"Not right now, I'd find time for a girl like you normaly but i only got two minutes to finish what I've come for. Now get out of my way."
He looks ready to jump at her right now but her appearance again works its wonder and he still waits.

 

[Shalimar]

"Tell me what it is your trying to do, and I'll help, your the one with the time limit so you know how fast the explination has to be." she says, not looking like she is going to let him buy unless he gives her what she wants, although she is smiling encouragingly at him. "Besides, If I were you, I'd be more interested in getting a refund for that outfit and never wearing it in public then in what ever it is your doing."

Despite her outwardly calm and friendly exression Eris is seriously pissed off, although its mostly at herself, she couldn't really care less about what Enrique was going to do, it wasn't really important to her, her anger stemmedd from the fact that she had talked herself into his way and knowing that her pride wouldn't let let her back down, not after he shoved around the other institute kids and said he was stronger then her. She actually liked his assertiveness, not many people were like that, but the situation, like most was out of her control. Not to mention that her more feral instincts were kicking in at the thought of a physical competition. Her muscles tensed instinctively, not knowing for sure if he would actually fight her up here where a deadly fall was possible, but not wanting to be surprised if it came to that.

[If it looks like he is going to come at her she will taunt him to take away his dodge bonus to defense, followed by a punch to the stomach to knock the wind out of him +9(+14S including surprise strike)]

The moment she mentions the refund for his outfit crouches down and jumps right at Eris like she expected and hisses.
"Listen bitch, i just might like you but if you mess with me you'r gona regret it!"
Just at that moment the band on the stage starts its new song and the whole structure shakes a bit as they switch to harder and faster beats.
Enriques right leg snaps forward for a kick but you duck under it easily while he blocks your strike at the last moment. He lands right in front of you, and you both balance on the beam without much effort.
