“Just allow me to take care of this before I’m inevitably swept up in whatever this is,” Kai said before turning towards the approaching Sirens
“Just allow me to take care of this before I’m inevitably swept up in whatever this is,” Kai said before turning towards the approaching Sirens
(Kai would have to call them back)
One Siren spotted Kai step out of the shadows and screeched something at its companions, pointing over with a pale, webbed hand.
They looked over and steadily jogged over, the pointed angry faces melting into pretty, calm, human ones.
“Hello!” Exclaimed one. “We’d like to know if you’ve seen anyone ‘round these parts that looked kinda suspicious.”
(oh)
"The only suspicious-looking thing I've seen around here is you," Kai deadpanned as he turned to look at the speaker. His eyes narrowed a bit suspiciously at it
(oh)
The Siren gave Kai a look. “Now, don't play that card, pal. Everyone knows us around here. Answer the damn question.”
"And in this part of town, everyone knows me," Kai said slowly, a slightly menacing hint in his tone now. "So I suggest you run along now, and don't bother me again."
The Siren fluffed himself out angrily. “I’ll have you know that I can get you kicked out from your apartment and go bankrupt! Don’t give me that tone of voice, punk!”
"First of all, unlike you peasants, I don't live in an apartment. I live in a bunker. Second of all, if you keep annoying me, I'm going to crush your skull between my fingers." To make a point, Kai gestured with one heavily armored arm, leering at the Siren as he did so
The Siren snorted. “Right. Tomato potato. We’ll leave you alone, but we’ll keep an eye on you.” He glared before turning back to the others.
"Hero name's Overdrive. Look me up," Kai called a bit smugly before turning away
Gij gave Kai a look from the shadows. “Are you insane?” He whisper-shouted this, making sure the Sirens didn’t hear him.
"That's a good question. If you knew me, which you obviously don't, you could come to the conclusion I'm not. I don't pick battles I can't fight," Kai answered cooly
Gij shook his head. “Look, I appreciate what you did, but… I’ll just get out of your hair. I don’t want you getting hurt.”
"Those poor bastards couldn't hurt me if they tried. Now, I'm a bit more concerned about your distinct issue at the moment," Kai huffed
Gij shook his head. “Nothing is wrong!” At that moment, the pup he was holding decided to whine again.
Kai went to respond, but cut himself off when he heard the whine. His eyes narrowed a bit suspiciously. "What was that?" he asked slowly
“It-uh-it was just me. I’m hungry.” His eyes jolted around and he backed away. “Well, this was fun. Thanks!”
"I'm not stupid, and I'd rather you not treat me as such. Now tell me the truth, or I'll find out for myself," Kai said before gesturing to the goggles on top of his head
Gij stumbled over nothing again in his haste to back away. He caught himself, barely, and grinned nervously.
“I don’t think you’re stupid!”
“Then tell me what that is,” Kai said slowly
Gij shook his head. “N-no I’m good. I’m good. I’ll go now.”
"I won't repeat myself. It's my job to make sure you aren't breaking the law or otherwise potentially causing harm to others, and I will apprehend you by force if needed." Kai said this calmly, almost as if he had said it before
Gij tightened his grip on the little lump, which cried out loudly again. It wiggled in his arms, whining.
“It’s… it’s nothing. I’m not breaking the law, and he won’t hurt anyone.”
"Due to your suspicious activity, it's my job to inspect the creature you apparently possess anyways. I will not harm it, I just want to make sure it's not illegal," Kai said matter-of-factly. He was getting a little annoyed trying to reason with this guy now
“No!” Gij exclaimed, falling over himself to get away. “You can’t touch him! He won’t like it!”
"I don't have to touch it, I just have to see it. Now stop overreacting, or I'll have cause to confiscate it," Kai warned
