A strange individual known as Bandit introduces himself to Renegade and the two make an agreement to be allies provided Bandit doesn’t “step on any toes” with her.
<Bandit> ::Has broken into her hotel room then and with Yang’s help, managed to take out the 3 guards who were there, bagged and tagged them and put them all in the closet, as Bandit sits on the bed and sips the tea he ordered on her room service… Yang sweeps up the bits of broken coffee table he used to take out 2 of the guards at once::
<Felony> ::only known as Renegade to most, arrives back at the hotel after nightly buisness. Maven isn’t there tonight. exits elevator on proper floor and goes to unlock her door::
<Bandit> ::raises an eyebrow and gives Yang a nod to go hide in the bathroom just in case she gets … hostile X3… puts the tea down on the bedside table and straightens up his jacket… would she notice the lack of guards?::
<Renegade> ::not until she goes inside. doesn’t leave them posted in the hall normally as that would arouse suspicion of the hotel staff. Plus when her buisness is done and she and Maven are there, she has them leave since the two can take care of themselves and would want privacy. Goes inside and shuts the door. frowns noting no one there:: Jimmy? Moe? ::goes inside further in the room and stops seeing Bandit there. drops bag she was carrying as she quickly whips out two uzis and aims at him::
<Bandit> ::deadpan face as he stares down the barrels of her guns:: Please, my dear… if I posed a threat, would I have really not just shot you as you came through the door? ::raises a brow::
<Bandit> If I had wanted you dead, I would have merely rigged this hotel to explode the second you opened that door.
<Renegade> Then what do you want? ::not lowering weapons just yet::
<Bandit>… To discuss bounderies. ::goes to take another sip of tea… is this joker dissrepecting her?!:: You see, I wish to make money out of this city and I like to make sure I’m not stepping on any toes… No point wasting man power on fighting each other
<Renegade> ::mrrrs. tail swishes. is getting tired of all the kats encroaching on her territories. wonders if this guy is being nice or if he’s got some hidden motive. even still:: And just who are you anyway? I don’t make alliances with just anyone you know.
<Bandit> ::stands:: My name is Bandit… ::bows before her, a slight Japanese accent:: And the gentleman I have waiting in the Bath room is known as Yang. Just so you know who is here and who isn’t. Your 3 guards are still alive but unconscious in the wardobe.
<Renegade> ::makes a sort of grunt noise at him and holsters her uzis at her sides:: Bandit? Name sounds familiar… ::can’t place where. doesn’t think she’s read of him in her father’s files though::
<Bandit> Thank you for holstering you weapons, any longer and I believe Yang would have taken it on himself to disarm you. Like I said before, I have no interest in fighting you. ::pours some tea in to the second cup on the bedside table:: Your name also sounded familiar on the hotel register… Tell whoever handles the bookings if they wish to hide the fact you are going by a false name, do not enter the name Mrs Smith ::sutble smirk::
<Renegade> Unless Yang is relieving himself, I would like for him to come out so I can meet him as well. ::watching his every move. not sure she’ll have any of this guy’s tea though.::
<Bandit> ::nods:: Understandable since you would like to know where to aim, in case I am lying about not wishing to fight you. Yang, could you come out here please.
<Yang> ::as Yang has Demon blood in his veins, Fel might pick up on this when he exit the bathroom, but as he is a guardian she might have the fur on the back of her neck stand on end… ducks under the door frame and merely walk out and stands next to bandit, pouting:: Why did you have to call me, Bandit? I was almost finished with my picture on the mirror ::he was drawing smiley faces on the condensasion his hell fire generates::
<Renegade> ::mun not sure if MBI is going along with DK’s orgins of being a demon or not since he’s wildcarded with other canon charas, therefore not sure of what she can tell. guy prolly gives her the creeps no matter what though XD eyes this tall tom who obviously can take anyone down if he chose with ease. figures he’s definately the heavy, and probably the one who took down her guards:: Thank you. ::quirks brow wondering what he was using, hoping won’t have to pay for some sort of damage::
<Bandit> ::sighs:: Sorry, Yang has a habit of marking mirrors with the condensasion. I will have someone from roomservice come up later and make sure there are no streaks on the mirror.
<Yang> ::picks up the bowl of poppuri (smelly dead flowers), and starts munching on them, not knowing it’s not candy::
<Bandit> ::winces at that:: Could we pay him no mind while we discuss business?
<Renegade> ::guessing this guy isn’t too bright either lol:: Of course… ::cautiously goes closer to where Bandit is. leans against the wall::
<Renegade> What is it that you do, Bandit? That you plan on making this money by.
<Yang> ::just watches them with a blank look on his face::
<Bandit> I am taking over one or two of the local street gangs. Sewer dewellers, street thugs, poolhalls and alike. ::pushes the tea closer to her:: I will be dabbling in murder, extorion, robbery what ever I can use to turn a profit. I do not long for power, merely enough money to fund my “private” research.
<Renegade> No thanks. ::puts hand out towards the tea refusing to have some:: I’ve claim to many a lowlife thug in this city, but I’m sure you’re aware of that. Where else have you operated in?
<Bandit> None of my current “lowlives” had ties to you, merely freeagents who worked for small time losers who … well lets say, I’ve been here a few months now and no one has notice them go missing. Any kat who would try to switch sides from you to me, has no loyalty and therefore would be reported to you before I let Yang have his Fun… I have been “touring” recently but Megakat’s enforcers seem to be to busy fighting the big fish to notice me, so I have decided to settle here a while ::takes the tea and sips from it himself:: My longest previous engagment was in Japan if you are wishing to check my background.
<Bandit> You’ll find the Yakuza were greatly pleased with my business practises.
<Renegade> The Enforcers aren’t the only ones in Megakat who stick their noses where they don’t belong.
<Bandit> If you are refering to your little fly boy problem… I believe Yang will be more than enough to clip their wings for good
<Renegade> There’s them, but there is also another law enforcement agency here in Megakat that has proven to be quite the nusciance. The Megakat Bureau of Investigation.
<Bandit> Thank you for the warning ::bows:: But I have no need to worry. I am currently to small on their radar, plus I have the perfect alibi if ever they come knocking on my door
<Renegade> Oh really? And what’s that may I ask?
<Bandit> That I would perfer to keep to myself, merely know I will so become untouchable in the eyes of the law
<Renegade> I understand. ::smirks:: I suppose you’ll not tell me what this “private” research is all about either.
<Bandit>… I seek to put a stopper in death. Medical immortalty. So far I have managed to slow my aging down to a crawl due to a strict diet and purifcation techniques… but I still get age.
<Renegade> ::chuckles a bit and smiles:: Your endeavor is near impossible to achieve. I can see why you’d require large funding for it.
<Bandit> Indeed, But there again, he who lives longest wins any argument. ::subtle smirk:: Besides who does not wish to free themselves from fates wheel and master their own destiny.
<Renegade> I’m certain everyone would. ::pushes off the wall:: Have your way in Megakat’s underworld, Bandit. I don’t need many of the city’s worthless thugs anyway as my time is mostly occupied with things elsewhere. I would appreciate it if you happen apon any disloyal kats of mine. Loyalty is scarcely found anymore. ::goes and sits in a chair by the small dresser in the room across from the bed::
<Bandit> ::smirks:: I rarely have problems with loyalty, I believe this is due to not raising myself above those I work with… ::smirks to Yang:: I am more of their “drinking buddy” than their boss.
<Renegade> You’ll eventually find yourself in a position where you must take on a more boss like attitude if you gain a lot of kats for your funding.
<Bandit> This is why I do not long for power. It makes it harder to keep men loyal if they are only driven by their paycheck.
<Renegade> :;laughs now:: Most toms ARE only driven by their paychecks… but a little fear helps as well. ::eyes Yang at that one::
<Yang> ::grins:: Bandit is my friend.
<Bandit> … Yang merely gets his food and a roof over his head as payment… the rest is all friendship
<Yang> ::downs the last of the dead flowers:: Got any more Candys?
<Renegade> Afraid not, Yang. ::looks to Bandit:: There anything else you wish to discuss with me? Ground rules to establish? Knowledge on the criminal organizations here in Megakat?
<Bandit> I know enough, although I would wish to speak to your father when he returns… Do you have any rules you need to lay down?
<Renegade> ::frowns at him now:: Excuse me? ::not common knowledge quite yet of Fel being DK’s daughter::
<Renegade> ::though mun figures it’s not impossible for him to not know as it’s probably slowly getting spread through the criminal underworld now::
<Bandit> Your Father… Dark Kat. ::as if she didn’t know::
<Renegade> I hope you honestly don’t know and that this isn’t some poor attempt at humor, Bandit. My father is dead.
<Bandit> ::that knowing Smirk:: Just keep telling yourself that my dear… I on the other hand know otherwise.
<Renegade> ::bit of hope in her eyes which doesn’t surface in her tone:: … what do you mean?
<Bandit>… Oh ::eyes open slightly wider:: You didn’t know?
<Renegade> Know what? ::suspicious look::
<Bandit>… as you are most probably aware, you father is a creature who is Hell bound… meaning if he were to die, a massive amount of evil mojo would enter the doors of Hell… and as I have “friends” on the other side, I can assure you. Dark Kat Lives
<Renegade> But… that’s impossible… he was destroyed with no way out inside of MBC studios on one of the top floors with an NSA missile! No body was found but it would be difficult for that considering the impact and all…
<Bandit> Yang… please tell her
<YAng> I am a guardian of the door to hell, my job is ta track down those who either escape or don’t show up. Makes it hard ta make friends ::mutters:: But I looked on the list, ya dad ain’t on it.
<Renegade> ::looks to Yang as he speaks. jaw nearly drops at hearing this.:: I don’t understand… he would have contacted me by now… ::says quietly to herself then stands. looks Yang over in thought:: You’re a demon then? Is that what you’re saying?
<Yang>… I have demon blood in me ta help me hunt rouge demons, but I am not a demon. A Demon can attack those who have not sinned, me? I gotta keep meself good when dealin’ with pure kats…
<Bandit> But Yang is a free thinker, it’s the reason I’ve been able to stop him “taking in” your father…
<Renegade> ::looks to Bandit:: So that is why you’ve not gotten his aid in making you immortal then? I’ve heard that you can sign contracts with demons… though the price is quite steep in my opinion.
<Bandit> Although Yang can not make those sort of deals, I refuse to sell my soul as it still turns on fate’s wheel… Besides, demons have a habit of backstabbing
<Renegade> Of course they do. They’re demons after all. ::smirks::
<Yang> I wouldn’t want my friend making deals with them… ‘owelse could he get the living for ever God powers?
<Bandit> ::Wishing Yang hadn’t mention the God Powers::
<Renegade> … If you’re supposed to be a guardian to the door of Hell, why are you hanging around with Bandit anyway? ::looking at them both puzzled::
<Yang> ::blinks:: Bandit is my buddy… he bought me a soda ::smiles::
<Bandit> ::sighs:: Yang was trying to make a mortal life for himself… but others tended to mistreat Yang, seeing him as nothing more than a lughead… I talked to him and it turned out, I was one who’d never told him to do anything he didn’t want to do
<Renegade> ::sits once more:: And so he’s helping you out then I take it, as a friend, to gain… god like powers? ::crosses one leg over the other::
<Bandit>… As a member of hell, Yang can not gaze into the heart of heaven without being destroyed… and sadly for him, that is where his mortal wife now resides… I have promised him… Once I am immortal, free of fates wheel, I will free Yang. Once he is free of Hell, he can repent his sins and join with his wife
<Renegade> There’s a bit of a flaw in that plan, Bandit.
<Bandit> Which is?
<Renegade> I don’t think Hell will let go of one of its servants so easily.
<Bandit> ::smirks:: Which is why I have to be immortal first
<Renegade> ::just shakes her head a bit and smiles:: Then I wish you luck in that. And I hope you’re right in regards to my father.
<Bandit> And I wish you luck, Renegade. ::nods:: If ever you wish to have tea together, please… Let it be known to me ::takes out a card and goes to hand it to her::
<Renegade> ::leans forward some to take the card, looking it over before pocketing it:: Obviously you know how to reach me, but I’d prefer it if you wouldn’t show up here or anywhere else without forewarning. ::hands him a card as well that simply has a phone number on it::
<card> ::is black with red ink::
<Bandit’s card> ::is a playing card, the ace of spades with a simple number in white across the spade::
<Bandit> Of course, I don’t wish to interupt your personal business ::bows again:: And if I do “step on your toes” , Please merely ask me to step off
<Renegade> ::stands to go and shake his hand:: If only everyone I’m alligned with was as polite as you. ::grins::
<Bandit> ::nods:: Sadly honour is sorely lacking in this modern world, My dear Renegade ::goes to quickly kiss the back of her paw:: Now if you’d excuse me, I have to meet the leader of the “Snakehead” gang… Before he has a accident ::smirks… snakeheads are mostly unorganised runaways which are more focused on a quick nip fix than causing trouble… Bandit will fix that::
<Renegade> ::chuckles:: Of course. You know the way out, Bandit. Yang. ::nods to each as they go by and to the door. most of the kats she was in charge of when working for Antonio Katpone were recruited runaways or younger kats who ran nip for her ‘n all::
<Bandit> ::and now there is a gap in the market ^^ makes his leave::
<Yang> ::goes to hand her the empty bowl:: By the way, where’d you get the candies?
<Renegade> The hotel provided them with a room… though they aren’t for eating. ::smirks::
<Yang> ::blinks and laughs:: They are silly if they sell candys just to look at ::walks out too, is like a big idiot child ^^::
<Renegade> ::has noticed. XD and shuts the door after them. sets the bowl down and proceeds to check on her men in the wardrobe XD::
