Tis a fine evening in Fairhaven. The huskies are out and about, their pelts shining in the evening, but this story is not about them. The agents sent to explore the sudden loud noise arrive at a little used portion of the city to find light spilling out of one of the abandoned buildings there. A low thud is heard as the body of a skunk beast hits the pavement just outside, an irate human cudgeling it away with a baseball bat, "And stay out!"
Aaron whistles lowly. "Ouch." he murmurs to himself. He largely came out here of his own accord, seldom taking actual missions from Zephyr beyond his usual patrols of keep-the-ferals-at-bay-in-town, and he's found...a domestic disturbance? That wouldn't make such a thunderous sound. He approaches the skunk girl, keeping a ready stance but trying not to appear openly hostile. "Hey there." he states, trying to get her attention. Better to see if she can talk first, then determine what's going on based on that.
Miranai arriving with a large back, the massively pregnant and well oversized Overdrive Foxtaur eeps a bit at the sudden shouting and the use of a skunk beast as a baseball. Setting down her pack she pulls from it a large sphirical object and activates it, leaking the Nanotech Medbot to her comm system and directing it to try and patch up the Skunk Beast if it needs it. Then she looks back over to the human. Noticing Aaron though, she walks over to him instead, "H.. Hi there, umm, Nichole sent me to investagate things?" she says more a question then a statement and looking for some guidance from the bunny.
Spying the discharge of a mephitic denizen by the baseball-bat-toting human, the hair-dyed albino can't help but smirk, "That looked appropo... wonder what's goin' on inside." Decked out in her usual attire, her heavy boots stamp the ground with a ready clomp as she draws neaerer to where the human lies, "Yo! What's goin' on? Is that some jammin' Rave or something up in there?"
Out to satisfy his own curiosity, as most felines seem to do, a lion dressed in his typical semi-formal wear and armed with a rather common looking shotgun heads up to the area of disturbance. "Oof," Dio says, wincing as he arrives just in time to see the poor skunk beast's bit of damage. "What seems to be the issue here?"
The man looks up when others approach, "Aw damn it, more of em," he says, leveling his bat, "All of you just stay back. You kin fuck each other all you want anywhere but here, ya hear? Mine, you know what that means? Not yours!" He slams the door shut, though this is a token effort with the front window of what used to be a Radioshack's front windows blown or simply having fallen out some time ago, leaving him quite visible.
Aaron folds his arms and frowns. That's not a particularly neighborly attitude. "Excuse me, sir. If you look more closely, you might recognize me." The bunny is often circulating the town, beating on ferals that have started attacking civilians, keeping them in line so that the city streets are at least KIND of safe. The man may still not know him, but it's worth a try. "I'm with Zephyr. Can you please tell me what's going on, and what exactly it is that you're claiming as yours?" Ferals are a variety of things, but polite is seldom one of them, and it makes a great way to distinguish himself from a feral if he can show some manners.
With the immediate danger gone back inside, Lotus crouches next to the skunkbeast, checking it for serious trauma. Examining for open wounds or signs of broken bones.
Huh, well, bully. Inis walks along the periphery of the store, spying out to see if that door's the only entrance into the place. This could be something interesting with someone who's not feral guarding some sort of... thunderous noise-maker of some kind. Rubbing her palms together, the albino strolls with her clomping steps and sauntersome gait.
Miranai looks to the obviously frustrated and angry human, then back to Aaron. As he slams the door, she looks around to everyone else, looking a bit scared really, "Umm, Aaron?" she gives again, hoping this time he will hear her, but instead she takes a step forward, "Umm, sir," she gives similar to how Aaron spoke, her androyginous voice not carrying very far, "If you could.. please calm down, no one is here to.. umm.. fuck you but.. you are c. causing a disturbance." Then, she decides to try something. Using her NICE she broadcasts an aura of calm, placaited feelings.
The skunk appears more irritated than actually harmed. Its nanite enhanced biology already working well to throw off its concussion, and its various bruises and internal bleedings being sewn up by the army of industrial strength workings inside of it. It snorts loudly at Lotus and makes an obligatory motion to mount her in thanks. If Lotus declines, the big fella moves off in pursuit of its next catch.
Lotus stands are rejoins the others after she giggles quietly and whispers, "Not now, we need to check this out."
Aaron glances at Miranai. "It's all right." he tells her, in what he hopes is a calming tone. "Just stay nearby, and we'll remain safe. I'm sure he's just worried about the ferals, and they're no danger so long as I'm here." He is speaking in a tone he hopes is loud enough for the man to hear inside his building. "And frankly, as long as what he has isn't a danger, we're leaving quietly and without incident, without his item."
Dio looks around at the newly gathered agents, giving them a warm wave, but he seems to only recognize the tremendously large foxtaur. "Hello ladies and gentlemen," he bows, slowly moving up to join the rest of the group to better hear the raging human. "Sir? I don't believe we're the ones to truly succumb to su-" Door slammed upon him, the lion lets out a loud scoff. "How rude," he whispers under his breath and crossing his arms. "We could talk things out rather than slamming doors on everyone's faces." Watching the skunk beast stand up and seemingly ask permission, he tilts his head and rubs his chin. "I've never seen one that... Didn't get straight to the deed before."
The fellow inside shouts out through the busted window as he moves towards the back, "Aint got time for any of you. If you're not here to kick me out, I got a camp to set up." The sounds of tinkering can be heard, metal clanging on metal, a spark, the scent of ozone. Bwooorrrrm! Comes booming out from the back, followed by a stream of loud curses from the man.
Aaron calls out, "We're not here to kick you out, but we may be able to offer you better lodgings. We're also here to investigate-" And then that loud boom comes. OW ow ow ow ow. Long lapine ears. Loud sound. Painful! It takes him a moment to recover, giving others plenty of opportunity to step forward and do as they see fit; he's going to take a second out to recover his composure.
Ears twitching and nose going now, Miranai tries to look through the windows to try and see what is going on! She stays close to Aaron, that is till she notices Dio, and gives him a yap, "Dio? Do you know what is going on?" asks, still trying to get a clean look at whatever was going on inside. She looks around at the others, "H.. hello.." she gives them.
Why worry about a closed door when there's a convenient broken window right there? Agile as she is, Inis gauges the open portions to make sure she can make it through without needing to break any more away. Should that be the case, she'll leap and tumble through... otherwise, well, it's glass-breaking time! Focused gal, she hasn't even given pleasantries back towards the others gathered about.
It's not hard to hop through the window. One could step over it carefully if they wanted to do so. There's no barricading work done, just a big open front to the building. Not much protection to be had here.
