The sleeziest building in the Sector02 slums. Outside are neon lights saying everything you would normally find at a whorehouse. Inn, Bed, GIRLS GIRLS GIRLZ! And a neon woman with her hands over her bra suggestively. The sleeziest people work here, the even more sleezy own it.

Dirty things happen here, but nothing that will actually BE in the thread. Being that, well, the site is PG-13. I don't want the big hotshots of invisionfree breathing down my neck, ya know. That and all those main RP rules I have.

The worst of Hasbed's reputation is that they pick off innocent kids and women to work for them without concent. They're also adjacent to a brothel, which isn't the healthiest place in town...


....




Now where was I? Oh yeah! Kiwi, the 13 year old kid that looks younger than he is strides in. He looks around and quickly gets the impression that he is Not supposed to be here. "Ano..."

Jaxtor, the founder of this place And the scary guy at the desk with the long nose looks down at him, "Helloooo there" He says, his grin full of gold teeth. His breath like that of a sewer rat.

Kiwi shivers and takes a step back. "Is this really an inn?" People around the area chuckle. A woman from some off room out of view screams.

Alyssia was not happy about going into this place. Hell, even the other Turks didn't like coming to this place. But here she was, being nice and trying to help out some kid who didn't know what was what in this city.

The moment she stepped in, she knew there were people watching her. She was ready to kick some ass if she really needed to, walking over and putting a hand on the kid's shoulder.

Kiwi jumped and nearly wet himself when a hand came to his shoulder. Specially when there were two large bodyguards on either side of him closing in. The sleezy guy at the counter was Right in his face - however that came to be. And right then, that hand, he thought everything was over. That he was DOOMED!

He turned around and saw that one woman from before. Unsure what to make of it. Crap, does she work here?! She looks too cool to be in a place like this! Was she here for a room!??!?!

"Meep" was all that really came out of him. And the kid suddenly looked like he was ready to cry.

Meanwhile, Jax gave the most unpleasent of grins to Aly, "Why Hello there, Ms.... Turk I presume? Ah, how could you not be. The suit, the weapon" Kiwi shivered like he was on a snowboard in boxers. "Are you here to enjoy our accomodations with our newfound... Worker here?" he gestures to the boy

WORKER!? It was what screamed through Kiwi's mind. He looked left at some big thug, then right. Oh, nonono.. he really didn't want to be here now. But he didn't have the words to express it. Instead he gave a very scared look to Aly behind him.

"New worker, my ass. This kid's with me and he's leaving with me. You got a problem with that...?" She started pulling the kid with her towards the door, determined to get him out at least. 'Man... The old man is gonna get a kick out of hearing this story...'

"whoa now. You can't be leaving this quickly. Not with your newfound friend and all." Wether or not he was talking about Kiwi or Aly didn't matter. What did was that the two thugs on either side were closing in. One on the left with a hefty chain, the other with a club of some metallic type. Jax just leaned on the desk that seperated him and the woman with the loaded machine gun. Thinking to himself, "I wonder how much service I Could get out of a turk your age"

Kiwi looked to the left of him. Kiwi looked to the right of him. Kiwi took a big gulp and looked behind him - at Aly, of course. He was bloody all surrounded by people! And 3/4ths of them weren't cool-looking!! There was only one thing to do.

"I I I... I... don't wanna be here." He looked up at Aly pleadingly. His eyes on the verge of tears. He muttered wordlessly, 'I want my daddy'.

Zane burst through the door in time to see the menagerie the 'inn' employed for worker retention brandish their weapons menacingly at the Turk. And, to his relief AND despair, the very kid he just met. Dear God, this looked bad.

Okay, he told himself. Turk's definitely helping the kid, but with that opposition, even WITH that big gun on her back, it seemed more reckless than anything.

Damn. I swore I'd never help a ShinRa again, but this is for the kid more than the Turk

Zane didn't brandish his weapons just yet, but looked over the situation with that last moment...

The look in the kid's eyes did it for her. 'Damn it... I hate being here, I hate this damn guy... I hate a lot of things, but that doesn't matter. What matter now is getting us the hell out of here before things get worse.'

She heard someone come in behind her, but right now, there was something a bit more important going on in different directions. She unsholdered her gun and got ready. 'Okay... This is crazy... And really bad...'

Dude, she had a gun? When did she have a gun??

Alright, that was Kiwi's first thought. After the whole 'I'm gunna die' thoughts via the thugs to both sides of him and the sleezy guy infront. Oh sure, Kiwi probably noticed the machine gun with Aly before, but after all this immediate post-stress syndrome stuff, the whole 'gun' fact hit him pretty hard. Specially considering that he'd soon be between her weapon of choice and the current badguys.

He grit his teeth, went wideeyed, and moved to hide Behind Aly. This is when he noticed Zane.

NOW things were getting confuzzling. Why did the cool Zane guy follow him? Was he working here? Did he want to keep Kiwi in this scary place for all eturnity? NO! It couldn't be true! Zane was too cool looking!

So around this time he just looked at Zane, confused and scared out of his little Wutaiian mind.

Zane saw the uncertainty in the kid's face as he noticed him in the entrance. This is NOT good. I have to get him out. We can't fight with him here!

He didn't care if the kid was scared by it, he had to get him out. He dashed forward and took the kid's hand. "Here, I'll get you out." He whispered as he tugged him towards the door, watching the two guards less than a foot away. With a stronger tug he practically shoves the kid out the door with a bellow of "RUN!" once he knew they were away from the two brutes.

With a sigh, he turns, this time, palming the handle of the blade he drew. Time to get serious.

Alyssia blinked slightly and looked over her shoulder, just totally confused for a moment. 'Okay... So the kid's out... Helps the situation a little. And who the hell is this guy...?!' She stared at the new guy that practically threw the kid out, then turned her attention back to the guys coming at her. 'Damn it...' She stepped back to the door, near the guy that entered behind her, her gun ready to shoot.

Well, that was an easy decision. If the cool guy tells Kiwi to run, Kiwi is going to find his legs and book it. He threw himself out of the building and ran for it, towards Sector03, or some safe alley that.... Probably wasn't that safe. Maybe he was even just outside. Eitherway. After a moment or two of time, Kiwi was out of sight.

Jaxtor sighed and gave some order to someone in another room to follow the kid. Then gestured to his thugs to attack the turk while he made his get away, "Beat some sense into them. I'm the owner of this establishment. They have no right to get into My business."

"But" one of the thugs blubbered out, "She has a gun.."

"She has cork bullets for all I care! GET THEM! I'm not paying you to eat loads a day and sleep with my girls. I'll be in back if you need me.."

Jaxtor slipped out almost as easily as any snake could. the two thugs shrugged at eachother and charged Aly (moreso than Zane because they think that, because Aly is a woman, she'll be easier to dispose of.)

(ooc note - the npcs are yours)

Zane watched the Turk back up to the exit. She's probably going to gun and run. Smart plan. Those chains are wicked.

He got his first good look at the Turk. A woman. He guessed they weren't uncommon in ShinRa. Equal-oppurtunity oppurtunists. That machine gun was hefty. He might not even need to fight if she's good enough with that thing. She was pretty young too.. A ShinRa elite.. She didn't look like she'd even been in the war. He wondered if she'd take the first move or if he would. He wouldn't wait for it. She'd just better not HIT him

He dashed towards the chain thug, leaping to the side wall, smartly. The chain-thug starts to swing his chain around, attempting to hit Zane. Zane stops just out of the guy's range and throws the knife towards him, already reaching for another couple from his sleeves. He hoped he could get those back.. he didn't like wasting them.. and only had a handful. He'd better not throw many more..

Alyssia ducked under the swing of the guy with the club and rolled away. Despite how heavy the thing looked, the guy was damn fast and she had to keep moving just to keep from getting hit. She took a couple of shots at him as she ran and jumped over the counter, getting some kind of protection and put some room between her and the man attacking her.

She glanced over at Zane to make sure he was doing alright, then proceeded to shoot at the thug, moving out of the guy's way when he tried to attack her again.

Zane wondered as he rolls behind a stairway's banister. High ground, get behind him., he thinks as he watches the rapidly spinning chain deflect the dagger into the ground. Damn. Wasted..

He watched the young thug turn. The fool wasn't even moving. What an idiot. He'd have to catch the chain if he intended to get something through. He'd have to be faster than the chain, otherwise..

He leaps over the banister, using it to flip forward rapidly. He twists the throwing knife's hilt between his thunb and forefinger, prepared to either slash or throw it.

He uses his jacket's sleeve as a sort of makeshift wrapping to punch one knife through the chain. Damn, I hope this doesn't hurt too much..

One of the bigger guy's swings knocked her gun out of her hands. 'Oh shit!' She noticed the smirk the guy had at that point and she looked around for a moment. 'Umm... Time to get creative...'

She grabbed the first thing her hand touched, which happened to be a paperweight, and chucked it at the guy. When he swatted it away with his mace, she ran for her gun and spun around, shooting him in the leg. When he dropped down, she shot him again, this time in the arm holding his mace. "Take THAT!"

Zane winced when the chain finally struck his arm. Thankfully, whiel it hurt, it also managed to stop the movement. His jacket's sleeves were better than he thought they'd be at softening the blow.

Zane grinned and pulled the chain hard before the guy could start his own tug-of-war. Zane wouldn't let that guy get to that point. With a swing of his arm, Zane tried bringing his knives about to slash at the thug. The guy surprised him, of course.

The thug, instead of attempting to dodge the slash, he tosses the chain aside in an attempt to disrupt Zane's movement. It worked. Zane started to correct, still off balance when the thug began a head-forward bull-rush. Shit!

Alyssia looked over and saw that Zane was in trouble. 'Oh great... Wait, I can hit that guy before he hits the other guy...' Sigh. 'Saving the ass of someone I've never met before in my life. I really don't get paid enough.' Making sure the one guy she shot in the arm and leg wasn't going to try anything, she ran and jumped up on the counter, aiming her gun at the thug. "Just fall over!" was the only warning she gave before she started shooting.

Zane figured he wouldn't be able to stay standing up anyways, considering what the Turk said. Especially considering what I'm sure she's about to do.

Zane tumbled back, going with the movement he was taking anyway. He tumbled back and hit the deck, his hands clenching the chain he still held. Just don't hit me., He thought.

Alyssia's aim was pretty damn good, considering the close quarters and how close Zane was to who she was shooting at. But her big mistake was not paying attention to the big guy she thought she took down. He had gotten back up and swung his mace at her using his other hand, hitting her in her side and knocking her off the counter and onto the floor. 'Holy god! That hurt like hell!'

Zane winced in anticipation as the spray of the machine gun hurled in both his and his opponent's direction. He could hear the scatter whiz by. That was close.. thank my lucky stars...

Zane watched the guy grunt and whip around after being nailed twice. His left arm and hip. He was disarmed and injured, but he could still fight, a little. At least he can't charge. He's also distracted. GOOD! The guy started to stump his way over, limping more than slightly in Aly's direction.

The idiot's still more afraid of his boss than the Turk. What a dumbass. Probably thinks I got knocked down.

He waited a moment and started to sneak up on the guy. And it'll be his undoing.

He quickly drew the knife he had sheathed when he hit the deck. The guy started to turn in Zane's direction, but winced with the motion. His hip mustve been fractured. Perfect.

The guy starts to swing his uninjured arm in Zane's direction, but it's awkward with his disrupted leg. Zane dives down under the punch and into his strong leg, putting more pressure on his bad leg. This causes the guy to stumble and fall on his face.
I doubt he can even get up now..

Alyssia rolled over, holding her side. 'That really hurt, dammit!' When she looked up, the big guy she shot was now standing over her, having walked over, dragging his injured leg and using his mace for support. He smirked down at her, obviously thinking he won. 'This is so not my day... Cheap shot!' She suddenly kicked the thug in the groin, snickering slightly as he keeled over and fell to the ground. She got up and looked over at Zane, pointing at the door. "Let's get the hell out of here!" She grabbed her gun and ran for the door.

Zane doesn't even stop to nod. Even if these guys are injured, I don't want them calling for help while I'm here He thought as he dashed out through the door, curling the chain up. Might come in handy sometime.

With relief, he stepped out into the hellish streets. They were better than the hellish 'businesses' for sure.

"Okay.. Now to find that kid before he gets himself in deeper shit." he mumbled a bit.

Kiwi is brought back into the whore house accompanied by Gorv't the steriod-pushing steriotypical thug and Jaxtor the long-nosed, whiney, classic villain. He appears to've gotten himself into deeper shit.

Jax immediately cries out for his whores to help him with showing the kid around to a 'better life', "Heeeey HoneyBunny and MuffleLuvin! Come 'ere! You have a new PookieWookie to keep you company!" Yes... He literally says this.

"You GOTTA be kidding me!" You can guess who says this.

Waiting out the time, Gorv't lifts up his muscle-bound arm to look at Kiwi with apologies. Like some FinalFantasy remake of KingKong. Kiwi glowers at him like a kid only could.

Before long, two well-endowed whores come downstairs and talk about how cute Kiwi is. "He's Adorible! Scruffy but Adorible!" and "Ah, the kid'll have to do. Next time, Jax, bring us a fresh fish. Not a banged up one".

Jax flushed angrilly and mutters back, "You get what I give you. Gorv't, be so kind as to let our new Brothel boy down. He wont do any harm now that our ladies are here to keep an eye on him"

"But..." Started Gorv't, eyeing the door and wondering how his bro's are fairing in the fight outside.

"JUST DO IT!" Roared Jax. Gorv't dropped Kiwi.

Kiwi, feeling a rush of energy in his body (for getting tossed around and hurt so much in this past episode), rushes up to Jax, "You Jerk!" And, with a Shwing Limitbreak sound, thrusts his foot between Jaxtor's pelvis.

Everyone is in complete Shock. Jax's eyes are huge. His face blue. He grabs his damaged puffywuffies and goes limp.

Laith walked in ready to beat some Whorehouse owning ass with sword at the ready....that was until...

He saw Kiwi went uber berserk and kicked the dude in the family jewels. He hit him so hard that Laith could feel it himself, even though he wasnt the recipient of the attack.

( Oh man, THAT'S not cool. I didnt even do that to those guys outside. He's gonna need an icepack for that one...make it 2 )

" Hey kid, you alright? Let's get the hell outta here. "

Kiwi looks up at Laith. Seething recklously from his newly found courage. Or was it carnage? Thing is, while Jax lays there with a few random status icons swirling over his head, Kiwi's foot hurt from the kick as well. So badly that he limped partially on his walk over to Laith. Happy to see him that he almost completely forgot about the situation he's in, "You came to save me... again!" He's just that giddy over seeing one of the really cool people that he can still trust in this world. Specially when it concerns saving him.

Gorv't is dumbfounded. Jax is limp, humiliation floating around him in waves. Muffy points at Kiwi and orders the thug to, "Go get the kid like your boss said!"

But the steroid-pushing man just put a hand to the back of his head at what happened to Jax... Then towards Kiwi. He shakes his head a few times and turns to go into the backroom with a grumbled, "I'm notz paid enough for this..."

The other whore... What was her name? Oh, right. Honey went up to Laith and started to flirt with him. Finger rolling on his chest. "So... When do You get off work?" Her hand rolls down Laith's stomach and starts to edge near valuable territory.

All while poor Kiwi is watching. And getting nervious, very nervious. He looks to Laith pleadingly, "Can we go home now? Now? Any time soon?"

Laith halfway tempted at the offer decided against it and gently grabbed her hand and said to her nicely..

" Madam...you dont want to get involved with me....i'm nothing but trouble. Why are you doing this to yourself? You got much more in life than this...and working for that fat crapload right there? * pointing to Govr't with his sword * Both you and your friend are beautiful ladies. Get away from this piece of junk man. "

Kiwi was tugging at his white cape.." Hey...can we go now? "

Laith looking down at him..." Oh sorry bud...we can go now. " Before they walked out he looks at the ladies again. " If you want to get out of here and leave this behind...then follow me....otherwise...I hope you get away from this life. "

Turning to the boy " Hey....how come you left me behind at the hospital?! Do you know the trouble I went through after I came to? "

Kiwi came to a stop at the entrance. Looking back to Jax. Who, up til now, has a little ... bubble over his head, is blinking between green and grey, has a number 30 counting down over him, and is swirling in short circles while curled in a fetal position.

Honey looked pleadingly to Muf.

Muf glared over at Laith. "Girl, if you get yourself in trouble again Without bringing the beef home, I'm gunna find myself a new HoneyBuney."

Honey nodded and took Laith's arm, "After you."

Kiwi, around the time the rest of this goes on, is yelled at by Laith. He looks hurt, ready to cry. And deep down has an instinct to run away. Ya know, to avoid more trouble. "Ano.. anoano.." He bit his roadrashed lip. Got real upset. Thereafter rushed to the door, bumping into Laith on his way. Out into the streets of Sector 02.

... Unknowingly with another, smaller pouch of gil.
