towerofanimus | I do what I must... No hard feelings mon. [Open]

Characters: Xue'Kol and All the victims
Setting: All around the Tower during the halloween event!
Format: Prose or Action is a-okay!
Summary: Xue sets out to do what a rogue does best, steal. (Assassinations may occur if things go wrong!)
Warnings: Violence, Language.

The first few days of candy collecting had been a breeze for the agile trolless. In fact, she had managed to avoid much of everything as she went along in the cloak of the shadows and simply took whatever candy she wanted without even having to engage everyone. She had been relaxed, no stress whatsoever. Even the female version of the undignified costume that had latched itself to her , reminding her of more sour memories of her world hadn't been cumbersome at all... Having nothing to protect her chest and all, even then it had been actually pretty fun...

This week however, it seemed that just like most things in this tower, it wouldn't be as easy as the previous days. Candy was much more scarcer and she had been hearing death cries all over the place... It seemed that the stakes had gone up and it was time to get in the right mind set. With blades at her back and stalking the shadows, Xue would do whatever she had to in order to gain candy and keep her candy from being taken. She'd usually try to simply sap someone unconscious and take what she needed, but she knew that some wouldn't be keen on losing their life treats and she was ready to take them out or flee if need be.

Live to fight another day as they say, but she wouldn't extend that courtesy to her opponents...

[This is probably a good time to make up an excuse.]

Just getting my search on for sweets, same as any other motherfucker.

[Shame he doesn't have one.]

Well, I be hopin' joo got extras den mon. I s'pose joo could be callin' dis a stick up? Yeah I tink dat be da right term.

[To make the 'point' noted, she pressed the point of her weapon more against him.]

Ain't askin' joo ta gimme all dat joo be havin' but I be needin' a few more treats in my bucket mon.

[And people said he talked funny.]

Don't know why you'd think I'd have been any more mother fucking lucky than you, sis.

Joo ain't dead, an tings be gettin' mighty rough 'round here. Call it insurance if joo will mon, gal's gotta survive one way or anotha.

Bro's gotta survive too, yeah?

[He holds his little bag a bit closer to him. There's not a whole lot in it, but still.]

Yeah, joo be right, but right now joo don't even got yer bucket... So I be tinkin' it'd be best if one of us be assured survival in dis place.

I can get it all fuckin' back to my bucket, maybe. Get it in there all soon enough so it counts.

Leavin' yer bucket undefended be a dumb idea anyways mon... Joo do know dat da stakes went up recently don't joo?

Dat is also why I'm doin' my rounds, gettin' jus' enough so I get by.

It's safe! I'm thinkin' it is, anyway.

I ain't fuckin' stupid.

Well I wouldn't be sayin' yer stupid when joo be stallin' da gal with a blade to yer neck mon, waitin' ta see if joo can talk yerself outta dis or?

You ain't stabbed me yet.

You really gonna up and murder me to run all off with my motherfuckin' sweets?

If I must be doin' dat mon, den I will. However, joo seem like a smart kid.

A few sweets for your life ain't a bad deal is it? Besides, if joo be as smart as joo be sayin' joo are, den joo'll recover them fast enough.

Nothin' personal, jus' survivin' mon.

Not that it really matters in da end, from what I figure the twisted bastards at the top are prolly gonna off all'o us.

[His eyes narrow some, then he sighs.

He holds out his little bag with its paltry sum of candy, making sure to show his displeasure.]

[Xue narrows her eyes and feels a bit apprehensive. She wants to survive, always has. Even in the military she never usually acted on her own unless she was ordered.

She knew there were things that had to happen and things that would haunt her forever but... Here you pretty much lived forever no? Even if the pain was never fake...

She made a show of it, but simply took one piece of candy before taking a step back.]

Joo should really be more careful... I ain't da only one who be lookin' for da sweets and I might not be da nicest eitha mon.

Joo even got a weapon?

[He's grateful that she didn't take the whole thing, even if he doesn't look it.]

Don't need one. I can be taking on a motherfucker without it.

[Mostly.]

S'dat so? Ain't very convincin' yanno... but, if ya dun be needin' one den I tink I'll be on my way if ya don' be mindin' mon...

Again, notin' personal, jus' survivin'.

[Xue removed the blade from his neck and took a few steps back, letting him stand up and pocketing the candy she took.]

If that's what all you're headed to do, then you sure as all motherfuck better make it to the end.

[That would bring something positive out of this, at least.]

Don't be worryin' joorself, I plan to do jus' dat mon.

[Xue offered a wink and began to back away until she seemed to simply vanish into thin air.

Somehow she hoped that this person would make it. He wasn't unpleasant but sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.]

I do what I must... No hard feelings mon. [Open]
