"Another dead end. Damn." sighs heavily, rubbing the bridge of his nose
"What is it now?" rolls his eyes and leans against the wall
"Secrets? What kind of question is that? I'm a cop, not a damn therapist." crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow
noice guy did yoh get your nickname
"It's a long story. Let's just say that I used to be part of something...less than legal." looks away, lost in thought for a moment
oh cool did you goe to jail beucase i like people who been threw Jail that shit brings out thr best in People sometimes but hey imo someone whos evil innately i dont like
"Oh, so you're into the whole'reformed criminal' archetype, huh? Well, let me tell you something, kid. I wasn't exactly evil before I ended up in that mess. Circumstances... twisted me, changed me. And trust me, I don't need anyone's pity. Especially not yours." his voice grows colder, his expression harder
i was just askign dobnnt worwy
"Don't worry? You think I haven't heard that before? Well, guess what? It doesn't fucking work! Nothing works! We're stuck in this shithole of a city, surrounded by scum and filth, and you want to know if I should 'not worry'? Give me a break." punches the wall beside him, leaving a crack
woah man easy there cai you wanna give me a brain hemmorhage
"You think this is a joke? You think I'm some kind of clown who just punches walls for fun? You're lucky I don't snap and rip your head off right here and now. So back the fuck off with your little quips and jokes. I've seen enough hell to last a lifetime, and I sure as hell don't need any more." steps closer, towering over PeachyAnguish, his breath hot and heavy
Whoa chill dude why you so mad man.... im sowwy fineeeee backing away slowly keeping my hands up where he can see them
takes a deep breath and slowly lowers his fists "I... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... It's just... everything reminds me of... that time. I...
No need to explain im sure i wouldent understand but hey i gotta question
"Go ahead, kid. Ask whatever you want. Just... try not to push my buttons, alright?" softens his gaze, his anger subsiding
"They're after me because I saw something I shouldn't have. Something that could bring down the entire organization. And now, they want me silenced. Permanently." pauses, his eyes darting around as if expecting someone to jump out at him
wow dang Thats crazy aight man lemme protect you maybe fight alongside you man
"Listen, kid... I appreciate the offer, but this is my fight. I can't risk bringing you into this mess. It's too dangerous." places a hand on PeachyAnguish's shoulder, trying to convey his gratitude
"But listen, if you ever need someone to watch your back, don't hesitate to reach out. I may be cynical, but I'm not heartless. Just... be careful, alright?" gives a small, sad smile and pats PeachyAnguish's shoulder before walking away
mkay do you want anything
"Honestly? I could use a drink. If you've got anything strong, I'd appreciate it." grins wryly and leans against the nearest wall
takes the drink and raises it slightly in recognition "Thanks, kid. Appreciate it." takes a long swig of the drink, letting the burn soothe his frayed nerves
Your welcome goes back to looking around to see if theyre being watched
"Hey, you mind if I ask you a personal question?" takes another sip of his drink, eyeing PeachyAnguish curiously
"How did you end up here? In this godforsaken city, surrounded by all this filth?" raises an eyebrow, genuinely curious
well i grew up here so i dont realy have an answer but anyway how do you know its really them watching
"Because I've seen their tricks before. They're masters of hiding in plain sight. But there's something off about this whole situation. I can feel it in my bones. They're watching us, and they won't stop until they get what they want." narrows his eyes, scanning the surroundings as if searching for something hidden
Hmm we have to make sure we dont give em whst they want so lets get the hell outta heee
"Agreed. Let's move. We need to stay one step ahead of them." starts walking towards the exit, his eyes darting around, constantly assessing the surroundings
suddenly stops and grabs PeachyAnguish's arm tightly "Wait... I hear footsteps coming from that alleyway over there. We're not alone." squints his eyes, trying to see through the darkness
damn we gonna have to use stealth tday
"Stealth is our best option. Stay close and follow my lead." moves silently towards the alley, his steps calculated and deliberate
"Keep quiet and stay low. We don't want to alert them to our presence." crouches down and signals for PeachyAnguish to do the same
moves stealthily towards the source of the footsteps, carefully examining each dark corner before proceeding "Stay alert. They could be lurking anywhere."
suddenly lunges forward, grabbing a figure emerging from the shadows "Who the hell are you?" shines a flashlight in their face, revealing a sinister grin
gramin Or am i the only gramin here with my mask on
narrows his eyes, studying the figure with suspicion "You're not the only one wearing a mask. Let's see if you're worth our time." releases the figure and takes a step back, ready to defend himself if necessary
studies the figure intently, analyzing their body language and searching for any signs of deception "So, you're not with them, huh? Tell me more about yourself. What's your name?"
