For an evil person Jamros was not really doing anything much evil, well sure evil was just a lifestyle choice for this man but still, evil! So, having realised he had not really had a chance to make a name for himself yet the young man decided to go out and harass random people in the park. Now the park was a good spot to make a name for yourself in many ways, but Jamros just wanted to get in the paper and see if he was on the right track. The right track being evil, why the heck he was bothering with this he could not be bothered to figure out, thinking was too much of a bother for him really. So without further adieu the villain was menacing some poor couple that was out for a stroll in a relatively empty area of the park, the poor couple were freaked out of their mind and had no idea what the gun wielding maniac with the IPod wanted. Oddly enough Jazz had only walked up to them so far and it was beyond him why they were overreacting so much. |

Kyle needed a break from the “hero work” that had actually been the result of random encounters and his own inability to simply walk away. As such, he was now behind on his school work, and had to catch up. He’d gone to the park to study some insects that could be found there, for a biology project. Going to the midtown park was probably a bad idea: ever sense his powers had awakened, he’d found himself more and more prone to attracting trouble, even in somewhere as peaceful as uptown. So why would he go somewhere where the crime rate was even higher? He wasn’t entirely sure. So far though, he hadn’t had any trouble staying out of trouble. Making an extra effort to avoid other people, he searched the park until he found a an insect of the species he was looking for. As such, he was now crawling on his hands and knees through the bushes trying to catch it. Almost, almost and- The boy’s thoughts were interrupted by the sound of human voices freaking out nearby. Covertly looking out from his hiding place in the bushes, he saw a (no, not young by his standards, they were older than him) being menaced by a gun-wielding thug or something who appeared to be plugged into his music player. So far, none of them had apparently noticed him, which wasn’t surprising, seeing how they were all distracted, (the couple by the thug, and the thug by his music) However, so far the thug hadn’t actually hurt anyone, and Kyle had gotten himself into enough trouble lately. He didn’t even have any of his weapons. Instead, he chose to simply wait and see what the thug did. |

“Seriously? You start screaming as someone walks up to you? God I only pulled these out to shut you up!” Jazz swung his handguns around his finger before returning them to their holsters and sighing, “Well you look like you have money so I might as well demand something from you so this screaming at least has a reason now… so how about whatever is in your wallet?” There was a high probability that this would end well for Jazz, on a money point of view that is. It would be doubtful that anyone would find out about this on the news or anything but eh? When life gives you lemons? If you somehow pull off making orange juice then you clearly are awesome. “Ok, ok, hurry up with those wallets now!” |

Great, just great. Kyle would have been able to stay hidden and do nothing without a second thought, as long as the thug(?) didn’t try to pull anything. And lo and behold, what does he do? He tries to rob them. If what he said about the couple yelling simply because he walked up to him was true, then yes, they were probably overreacting. However, he had no right to mug them. Kyle was about to charge out and attack, but he realized that probably wasn’t a good idea. This guy clearly wasn’t a normal thug, he was too laid back and causal for that. Not to mention that he’d just holstered his guns, so he probably didn’t have any intention of shooting them. Defiantly unusual circumstances. Perhaps some unusual tactics could remedy the situation. Kyle had already seen that the mugger was listening to some sort of music player, despite the fact that he probably should have been paying attention to his surroundings. Perhaps he could use that. Using his technopathy powers, the boy focused his will on said music player, which took him about two seconds to hack. An ipod, perfect. He had several ideas of how he could use it to his advantage, but to start out, he simply caused it to shut off. Something the thug would probably notice immediately. |

Everything was going so well, then silence… Oh sure the couple were still screaming but that didn’t change the fact that his IPod had suddenly stopped playing, which was quite irritating, “Must have forgotten to charge it last night… Dammit this ruins the mood!” Jazz took one of the ear pieces out then pulled the contraption itself so that he could get a look at it, it was dimmed as though it was off but usually it lasted all day before this happening. Deciding to try his luck he unlocked the thing and hit play and tada! It started playing right where it had stopped. “Odd… and the charge is still fine… Hmm, well back to mugging you guys!” When he finally looked up the couple had gone, realising how distracted he was from them they took the time to bolt, how he had missed the lack of screaming he had no idea. “Ohhh son of a-!” |

OOC: Crap post, sorry. From the looks of it, the mugger hadn’t noticed his presense yet, dispite his meddling around. Even better, the couple had taken advantage of his distraction to escape excellent. Now he could really start having fun. Just as the thug put the earbud back on, it would stop playing again. However, there was a significant difference from last time. When he looked at the screen, Jazz would see the following message.

And the music stopped again, “What?” he pulled his IPod out again and saw the message, “Well I’ll be… I guess this is what happens when you pirate music, software and buy your IPod from a questionable person on the street…” What? You didn’t expect him to do anything legit did you? “Better go buy a real one then, serves me right.” Wait what? Well anyway Jazz turned around and walked away from the scene, hay maybe he could get the money for the new IPod by mugging some poor couple somewhere in this park! Jazz liked that idea, though it felt like it had been done for some reason… |

For a second, it looked as though his plan was working. Unfortunately, Kyle’s hopes were soon proven false as the thug thought it was the result of a buying a crappy ipod illegally. What, the, heck? For a few seconds, Kyle simply stared at the departing thug. Then, he did what any normal person would do in his situation. Faceplant. Jazz would easily be able to hear the very audible sound of Kyle’s head hitting the dirt, something the boy had gone through fairly great lengths to avoid. However, in his surprise, the boy had accidentally ruined it all. Oh shoot. I was hoping to avoid combat this time around. Not much I can do now though. First, I’d better take precautions. Even though it was night, the park was illuminated by a set of overhanging street lights along the path. As a result, Kyle couldn’t get out of the bushes without Jazz getting an all-too-good look at his face. Fortunately, the boy knew exactly how to deal with that sort of thing. Using his technopathy again, Kyle caused the lights to simply cut off, leaving them both in the darkness. It would take a bit to fully get used to it, and even by then, all they would be able to see was dark and darker shapes. Perfect for concealing one’s identity.

Jazz’s plan WAS to go find another out of the way stranger to mug, but then everything went dark. It was all bright and cheery then suddenly nothing. “What’s going on now?” he muttered to himself, “The Park closing or something?” The man just shrugged and looked down the road again, “Better get on my way just in case…” Jazz continued to walk down along the pathway, sticking to it because his eyes had not adjusted to the dark yet and he didn’t want to trip over some tree roots or something. “What an annoying night…” As he stumbled along in the dark he hadn’t noticed his stalker at all, in fact he had no idea what was going on and would probably head home directly, unless he came upon some poor solo stroller by chance in which case he would try and mug them, naturally. |

OOC: Finally remembered this site exists. IC: It appeared Kyle was in luck: the thug hadn’t heard him, and was apparently leaving the park. Not having any reason to continue bothering him, the boy waited until he was sure the man was gone, and then some in case he decided to back track. Turning the park lights back on, he stood back up, and headed back home. -Lame Exit- |
