"And that is why you do your research and engage in a manner which allows you a chance to observe before having to discover, firsthand, whether or not you're entirely outmatched," Occham stated calmly, unconcerned at the angry growl.
"Of course it hurts. It's torture, it's not meant to be pleasant," remarked Occham in a particularly matter of fact tone before letting Yaguro handle the interrogation. Once he had what he needed, the suited gentleman bent and touched Cue Ball, and the man passed out- as his body completely lost all signs of damage.
"There. All better. Now- ah, a moment." It took a few more moments of work, but the concrete pillars retracted, and apparently, it was just as easy for Occham to rebuild the bodies of the crushed individuals as it was for him to reassemble the bat. In moments, there was just four unconscious bodies in perfect health, and two standing villains wandering their way out.
"Hack that? Mm. Easier if-" A touch. That's all it took, and the damage vanished. Pristine. Restored to perfect condition, that phone, without a scrap of change to its contents.
"There~ now. Let's away before we complicate things with the authorities, shall we~?"
Gimme a reason! It don't gotta be a good one.

As Yaguro called for his weapon, Occham- somehow- materialized it out of nowhere and tossed it his way, letting him engage in his own manner... and sighing lightly as it all went sideways immediately. "Well, that's just a shame," he tskd, shaking his head as Yaguro, having literally kicked the door in, proceeded to open fire. "Didn't you say this was exactly what you weren't gonna do? Ah, actually, I suppose you DID add "and call in the fire brigade" on top of "kick the door in and open fire, calling down every cop in a mile radius," so. Congratulations on staying true to form and NOT doing... ONLY what you said you wouldn't!"
Despite the flying bullets and rampaging thugs, Occham seemed entirely unconcerned by the situation as a whole. Granted, unlike Yaguro, he was rocking a Quirk-fashioned suit of nano-thin armor under the nice duds, but the confidence presented well even if it was a bit of a cheat.
"Interesting choice of words," he said as he reached lazily over to touch the cinderblock wall of the basement bar- and an instant later, the three thugs backing up Cue ball were replaced by stained, unnaturally smooth concrete pillars jutting through clouds of red mist.
"Do forgive my compatriot, Mister- Cue Ball, was it? I'm afraid he's a bit overzealous at times," he said as the enraged gangster lunged forwards, lifting a hand to gently touch the massive man's chest as he brought his head forwards- and without warning shivered and slumped to the floor as Occham deftly sidestepped his slurring, groaning form. Bruises splotched all over his body rapidly, betraying the devastating damage that light touch had inflicted, as if he'd been struck from all over with brutal force, or somehow been broken down from the inside out.
"That's better~ now, do try to focus while my compatriot questions you~ we haven't much time before emergency services arrive, and we'd much rather be gone by then~"
Gimme a reason! It don't gotta be a good one.

"Nono, my friend. Allow me." Occham stopped Yaguro from hurling the bat aside, taking it and...
Well, it wasn't clear WHAT he did. It disappeared in a thin haze of dust, but that was... it. Poof. "I'll produce it when you need it again~"
"Urchin's Lair. Interesting choice of establishment title," murmured Occham on Yaguro's heels. "Urchin's usually a kid on the streets. Wonder if it intends to imply underage drinking or just happens to on accident," chuckled the suited fellow as he wandered along behind his new "friend."
He swept in ahead of Yaguro and stepped aside to let him in and select their perches, moving to settle on the barstool indicated.
"Well, if you're looking to make a personal impression, it's not the worst idea, though you're setting yourself up to get slammed from both sides- both by whoever's out here and everyone inside. If you're up for that, it's a great plan. I can help make sure your back is covered, if you like. OH, and if you want your little friend for your grand entrance, just say the word~" And, sure enough, if he asked? Occham would reproduce the bat from what seemed like nothing~
Gimme a reason! It don't gotta be a good one.

The blank mask stared back at him, tilting faintly. "I know who the Eight-Os are. The EMPHASIS was on the not having to fight PAST them, not on their obvious goon status." There was a hint of "no, duh" in the tone, but disguised enough that it was clear there was an attempt being made at politeness.
Occham followed along as he wandered off. "You know what, sure~ show me what you can do. The less I gotta do, the better you look. You lead the way and hit them how you like. I'll watch your back and make sure it doesn't go TOO far south on ya~"
Gimme a reason! It don't gotta be a good one.

The immediate fluster in Jojo's reply was exactly the sort of off-balance engagement Kishi was looking to impart on the other girl. Grinning as she turned around to fix her with a smirk, she started back towards her as she stammered and stuttered her way through her compliments and responses and attempted excuses. "Internet name~? No, no-" She said as she came closer, grinning wide. "I mean you'll be calling me something else later~"
The blonde leaned to the side as the door flung open and whacked Jo in the face, using the excuse to take her by the chin and push her back against the wall, outside of the arc of the door. "Oh, poor thing, let me take a look..." she crooned, completely dominating the girl's space, making the presence of the prattling cluster irrelevant, unimportant, for the way she imposed herself.
"I want to see how bad it is~"
Gimme a reason! It don't gotta be a good one.

Josey's reply left Kishi considering the girl more critically as she had to think about her answer. That wasn't nearly as important a moment later, though, as her reply was absolutely perfect. She smirked wickedly back at Joho as she turned to stare her down. "I'll go by whatever it takes to get some proper gratitude from you later~"
She turned back to the mirror, continuing. "And yes. I heard you say thanks~ but I said what I said. As for what I actually call myself," she stated, turning with a twirl, and leaning back delicately against the sink. "You can call me Kishi, Jo. At least for now~"
She let that trail off, bait for the question. For now? Why just for now? She'd have to ask if she wanted THAT answer~
Gimme a reason! It don't gotta be a good one.

Kishi never even gave the two another look beyond idly slapping aside the hand of the one reaching for her quarry's shoulder without so much as a glance. She had what she wanted, and those two could go enjoy their own company now. Or hell, each other's, she didn't care.
She arced an eyebrow at the English, commenting in a comfortable non-regional dialect, "I mean, if you insist~" A half-glance back showed the pair taking a step or two after them, as if considering trying to catch them...
So Kishi idly dropped a hand to rest possessively on Josey's ass right where they could see it.
"They're considering following. Just giving them second thoughts~ keep up the show 'til we're inside~"
A few more steps. A swinging door- and the closure left the pulsing dance music throbbing in the background instead of filling their skulls. One pat to the rear, and Kishi's hand disappeared from Josey's body. "There we go. All better. You're not a half bad actress. You professional? Stage? Or just a killer liar~?" Kishi asked as she checked her makeup in the mirror- all the better to keep an eye on the thoroughly flushed girl without being obvious- unless the girl tried to peek at HER, and found her already smirking back in the mirror.
Gimme a reason! It don't gotta be a good one.

Some people come to clubs to dance. To express themselves and let loose someplace with good music and good drinks. Others come for the eye candy while getting sloshed. Maybe even to hook up.And some show up to get their kicks off of putting horny idiots in their place.While Josey was struggling with the pair of overly eager locals, Kishi was reclining against the end of the bar, staring into the middle distance as she sipped some drink or another that she'd allowed someone to buy her before making it explicitly clear that buying her a drink was their mistake and she owed them nothing. A slow parade of increasingly brash morons expecting to win her over where the last braggart failed kept wandering past- and leaving faster."Not interested."
"Keep walking."
"Ain't in the mood."
"Not a chance, bro." And, more often than not?"Pfft. No." As the night went on, it got boring, though, and she started looking around more actively, noting the pair still staking their claim around the foreign-looking girl with the great tits. Eventually, Kishi stood up and abandoned her drink- sure to be spiked and just as sure not to be drank-and headed in their direction, putting on a brilliant, ditzy smile."HIMIKO-CHAAAAAAN~" she crooned as she approached, planting two fingers each on the two caging her in and pushing them aside without regard for the rudeness of it all. "I haven't seen you in FOR-EVARRR! C'mon. Ditch these losers, I hafta powder my nose and I HATE going by myself. PLEAAAASE~?" Gimme a reason! It don't gotta be a good one.

"Gotcha. And, uh. Sorry. I caught the growl." Kishi rubbed the back of her head. She was used to fast talking most people. This guy didn't want to have any of that. Bollocks. "Okay, so... you want me to... negotiate? Instead?" Kishi considered that, then shook her head. "Nah, we can make it easier. Follow me." Kishi turned and lowered a hand to press it to the ground, and it parted, moved, caved in as the vegetation was moved with the soil to either side, opening a comfortably King-sized passage down into the ground. "Here's what I'll do for you instead. If you're looking for a nice, comfortable lair that isn't exposed to stuff like satellite imaging and nosy trespassers, I'll leave this space hollowed out for you. But what we're gonna do to mark off your territory... I think you'll like it~"
She proceeded forwards, the passage forming as they went, until she was satisfied, and planted both hands on the wall, squinting in focus and effort.
The earth trembled.
Quivered.
SHOOK.
Above ground, a massive rise of land rose up around the borders between King's territory and the encroaching developers and city dwellers. It wasn't impassable, but it was a huge earthen rise that made easy access simply not a thing. No more game trails. No more dirt roads. There was the edge of civilization. There was the forest.
And between them was The Rise. Stories and stories of earthen ramparts topped with the displaced trees and greenery, with a much easier slope on the inside, making it very, very clear.
King's territory had not invited Them in.
After a long few minutes, Kishi leaned back and wiped at her neck and forehead with a handkerchief. "WHOOO. That took a minute! C'mon, buddy. Let's head topside to see how it looks. You want me to leave this nice cavern for ya?" Gimme a reason! It don't gotta be a good one.

 The realization that this fascinating woman was not, in fact, bringing the forest full to bear against these assholes led Occham to sigh behind his mask, rolling his eyes faintly. "Terrorism is a half measure, lady," he muttered to himself, discretely dragging the mangled corpse of his kill to himself, travelling beneath the ground. As the body was pushed up in front of him, a quick touch reconstructed his body to perfect health- and as he gasped his way back to life, the earth catapulted him back towards the woman with the forest at her fingertips, landing in a heap with at least three cracked ribs and one broken arm, but alive. After that was more of the same- adding terran trauma to the forest frights, helping to drive the workers from the site without fatality, several already on cell phones as they scattered. A few moments passed, and then a voice rang out. "You know there's going to be actual security forces here with a quarter hour, yes? Are you going to scare them off, too?"

"Oh, I guarantee you I would not, indeed, be surprised by that. And I'm quite positive you've been around a block or two, but the fact remains- there's only so much work you'll be able to do with a bat before somebody- you or someone else- makes enough noise to bring the rest of the complex down on you. And maybe you could handle that, but I was wagering that you'd see an advantage in not HAVING to fight past a platoon of goons before getting to the fat cat," Occham said simply. At the comment about game recognizing game, Occham tipped his hat. "The mob. No, I don't. The mob, in fact, either works for my employer, or is running scared, depending on the strength of their respective senses of self preservation." Ah, but he had asked another question, hadn't he? "Who... who is but the form following the function of what," he said, holding up a single finger. "-and what I am, is a man in a mask. And yes, of course you can see that. I'm not insulting your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man... who he is."

A series of odd events occurred to follow. A gun was in play, but not in use; instead, a garbage can lid was hurled like a chakram to smash the fleeing thug's legs out from beneath him. A few more bat blows to soften him up, and then he was pinned again, left with no options but answers anymore. Answers were received- he was looking for Razorback, and the best lead was Cue Ball, at the Urchin Lair. Satisfied, the vigilante smashed the thug out cold and started towards this Urchin Lair. ... only for the bricks of the walls around him to clatter and shift, twisting in front of him to block his path. Or at least appearing to- the majority of the bricks were left in place. The appearance of a shifting wall was more than enough for Occham's purposes. "You should really rethink wandering in there alone with nothing but a bat, a gun, and somewhere south of a dozen bullets before a reload."The voice came from behind Yaguro, from the snazzily dressed fucker standing with a much bigger gun slung over his shoulders, peering at Mud and pushing him into the shadows- and leaking runoff- of a dumpster with one very nice shoe. "You want information from this Cue Ball guy, right? To get more leads on your actual quarry. You go in guns blazing, you're gonna basically have to fight every single payrolled mook in that building before you have even a chance of a sit-down with the bald kahuna. Presuming he's bald. Cue Ball kinda suggests that, but what do I know from strangers?" The lanky fellow strode down the alley towards Yaguro, touching the wall with a seemingly gloved hand and reversing the blockade, holding up a finger. "But if the room he's in suddenly only opens out into a door you're using? Well, now you only have to put down his guard dogs."The figure stopped a few paces outside of baseball bat range. "Name's Occham. And your work's of interest to my employer. Having street cleaners unconcerned with getting their hands dirty is something of an advantage over having to directly eliminate competitors. How do you feel about steady work?"

"Oh, now THIS is INTERESTING."The slender figure paused and stared as the woods came alive and started to assault the poachers. The fact they were poachers had nothing to do with why Occham was here. Poaching didn't interest him or his "employer." What did interest him was the tubby moron who was already reaching for his shotgun to deal with the- ... forest... spirit? Gods, that woman looked wild. To deal with the forest spirit assaulting his buddy. There were a lot of hunters- a dozen, maybe- and while he'd been planning to come and bump off just that one tubby idiot (some day the criminals of this city would learn to just stay in line and collect their damn paychecks), with this impending massacre starting... He couldn't resist the urge to help develop the scene.
In the camp, the earth itself abruptly cranked open, cracking wide beneath the first of the hunters to get a gun leveled towards the woman weaponizing the forest itself. The hunter screeched as he fell a good ten feet, repeating the howl of sheer, unadulterated panic as he realized the earth was clamping shut around him- And then all that was left was the echo of two hundred and six crunching bones, and a brutal spray of blood up out of the crevasse as it slammed shut around him. It wasn't just the trees. The whole damn forest was out to kill these bastards~ |

"That's fair. I like hunting. Won't do it here, you ain't got the sorta prey I go after, but I can relate. Hunting's good. Challenging, intense. Or. Well, as challenging as things can get for someone like us." Kishi spoke calmly, unbothered by his agitation and movements. It seemed if he did want to pace, she wouldn't take issue with it. She seemed aware she was in his home, and was asserting herself more in order to keep him in line than to flex for flexing's sake.
"Aha. Those asshole developers starting to eat away at the edge of your territory, huh? That's a pickle. Hard to rezone, harder still to designate the spaces under conservation- and if they did, they'd get pissy about you being here. Tell you what. What if I helped draw the lines clearer for them? Make it unavoidable to notice the edges of your territory? Most people would stay out then, and the ones that didn't would have willfully ignored the warnings that this wasn't their world anymore. Can't really blame anyone but themselves at that point. How's that sound?"
Kishi looks back towards the city idly. "The way I figure it, if I get you the protected territory you need, you get to worry less about assholes cutting down the edges of your world, and I make nice with someone that can get stuff done if I need it done. Ain't got anything for you to do yet, but I might, someday. How's that sound to you?"
Gimme a reason! It don't gotta be a good one.
