Not So Lucky After All [Closed]
« on: December 17, 2016, 08:09:14 PM »
On a not so busy street in Vale, Vivian walked down the sidewalk, humming to herself as she went along. It was a nice day out, and she had absolutely nothing better to do, so simply going out for a stroll was a better plan than none. She also didn't exactly have a destination, and had somehow gotten herself into a part of city that seemed, well, poorer than most. It looked like the kind of place that you'd get mugged for just walking through, but she wasn't too worried about the possibility. The gun in her holster, while covered mostly by her bright red jacket, would provide more than enough safety. Of course, she wouldn't need that, even if someone did attack her. Her metal prosthetics were designed for combat, after all, and would easily be able to beat anyone to a pulp if they tried to pull some shit on her. Really, she didn't think that something like that was going to happen, but the idea was entertaining. With how things had been going so far, she felt that luck was most definitely on her side.

Michael really hated this part of town. Between the boarded-up windows on some of the houses, the graffiti on the brickwork, and the trash piled by the alleyways, it was plain old ugly. But, this was the part of town between his apartment and the nearest forge, so he went through anyway. His hands were in his pockets, gripping his scroll and wallet on the off chance someone would try and take them from him. 

As he headed down the street, he noticed a rabbit faunus walking past him. 'Right, keep calm. Just avoid eye contact and move past quickly.' he thought, taking a deep breath before sighing. It was only when he got closer that something looked familiar about her. 'Those arms.....there's no way, right? I gotta check this.' he thought, hurriedly pulling out his scroll and scrolling through the videos.

He passed by her, looking down at his scroll. He saw the glimmer in his assailant's arms as she ran down the alleyway, and stopped in his tracks. He put his scroll in his suit jacket, turning around and moving back towards her. "Hey!" he shouted, continuing to move towards her.

Vivian paid no attention as Michael walked past him, too preoccupied with her own thoughts. It wasn't until she heard a voice coming from behind her that she stopped in her tracks, her rabbit ears standing up as a result of the noise before she turned around to face the source.

"Hello!" The faunus waved at him with one of her metal hands as he started approaching her, clueless as to why exactly he was doing that. Still, meeting people was always fun, so she didn't mind. As he got closer, it occurred to her that the expression on his face wasn't exactly a friendly one... And yet, she just kept smiling, not yet seeing a reason to be alarmed.

Michael wasted no time, grabbing the faunus by her metallic arms and picking her up, setting her against the nearby brick wall. He kept his hand on her shoulder, keeping her from getting away from him. "What did you do with my ring?" he said, his breathing heavy and his expression unchanging. He reached into the inside pocket of his jacket with his open hand, pulling out his scroll and playing the video. "You tell me where it is, or I hold you here until the police arrive."

As he drew closer, Vivian quickly realized something that was actually pretty obvious; this guy was really fuckin' tall. Like, 'I have to crouch through doorways' levels of tall. Still, it would take a lot more than size to intimidate her. It didn't even look like he was armed, so she still hardly saw him as a threat even as he lifted her.

"Whoa-" Now pinned against the wall, she had a brief expression of surprise on her face, but it quickly faded. The situation was actually becoming much more entertaining than she had originally expected, something that became obvious when she gave him a mischievous smirk. "... Hey man, can't we get to know each other a little first?"

It wasn't until he began showing some strange footage that she started to actually pay attention to what he was saying. From what she could see, it looked like he had been mugged by someone. A rabbit faunus. With... shiny, metal arms. And here, she had been assuming that she was rather unique. What a bummer.

"No way dude." The rabbit's gaze returned to meet his as she shook his head. "You better not call the fuckin' cops, because you're definitely mistaken here. I don't mug people. And I don't steal." She kept staring at him, starting to give him a look that slightly resembled that of an angry person, an emotion that she rarely ever experienced. "Don't get the law involved, please. For your own sake."

Michael only grew more frustrated at the smug faunus. "Bullshit. You honestly think that I'm going to believe it wasn't you? There's nobody out there that matches that description other than you. Now, you better start talking, or I will have no choice but to take you to the authorities." he said, his grip on her shoulder tightening.

Glaring at him in silence for a brief moment, she soon rolled her eyes and shook her head. This shitty encounter wasn't going to end well. "Let's see... I am just one out of, like, millions of people with fully-functioning prosthetic limbs. There are a decent amount of rabbit faunus on Remnant, too. You really don't think it's possible that there's at least one person like me in the entire city of Vale?" With the threat of the law being involved, the situation had gone from funny to extremely irritating almost immediately. Vivian now wanted no part in this, and yet, she knew that just trying to run away would only make her seem more guilty.

"I don't have your stupid fuckin' ring, buddy. Your video isn't very convincing proof, either. Now get off of me, or I'll seriously kick your ass." Coming from a rabbit faunus that was hardly bigger than five feet tall, it most likely didn't sound too intimidating. Either way, she felt that she'd be able to take him down if need be, regardless of his advantage of height that he had.

Michael's expression remained unchanged. "You're arrogant, and nothing you've said has convinced me of anything. If you really believe your innocence, you have nothing to fear. Now, you're going to come with me, and we will get this matter settled like civilized adults." he said, loosening his grip on her. 'She's a rambunctious one, and she doesn't seem intimidated. Although, I don't know if her kind really know civility. She'll probably try to fight me and steal my belongings again.' he thought, pulling his scroll to his face to dial for the police.

"No. I'm not wasting my time and getting in trouble with any god damn police for something I know I didn't fucking do." Vivian was relieved to at least be let go of, but with him being set on calling the cops, her options were extremely limited. There were plenty of things that she had done that involved breaking many, many laws. She didn't know how the authorities would react to his video, and whether or not they would start digging into her past. That was some bullshit that she really didn't want to deal with. Apparently, the only way to avoid that situation was to do something equally shitty as to what he was accusing her of. Fantastic.

Not wanting him to get on the line with police, Vivian quickly hopped up and swung one of her metal hands forward, snatching the scroll from his grip with plenty of force behind the grab. With very swift movements, she stopped the call and slipped the scroll into her back pocket before taking a few steps away from him. Before he could say anything, she raised both of her metal hands up, attempting to explain her actions.

"Listen! I told you, we are NOT getting the authorities involved. I am going to give you your scroll back very shortly. I'll be honest, I don't want the law after me, because I've already done some shit that will just make me get in more trouble." Vivian lowered her arms, but she didn't stop yelling. "But I haven't done anything to you up until now. I'm not the one that took the damn ring. You'll be wasting your time with me while the actual thief is off selling your shit somewhere!" After a brief moment, she took his scroll back out, holding it in his direction. "Like I said, not a thief. I don't want to keep this. But, if you try and get the cops again, I'll knock your ass out. All this B.S. can easily be avoided if you just leave me alone."

Michael was not pleased with any of this. "So, you're trying to prove your innocence by taking my property and walking away?" he asked, grabbing the scroll from her. "If you do another damn thing that keeps me away from my grandmother's ring, I'll have no choice but to use my combat training to restrain you. Do I make myself clear?" he said, stepping back and inspecting his phone for damage, beginning to dial.

Vivian watched with disappointment in her eyes as he immediately went to call for the authorities again. Not only that, but now he was going to try and intimidate her with the promise of a fight? He may have been big, but even she could tell that he was still young. Chances were, he wasn't expecting her to actually retaliate, or at least she believed so. It was looking like she had the advantage.

"Oh, crystal clear." That was all she said before stepping forward, pushing both of her metal prosthetics outward forcefully to hopefully shove him back and prevent him from dialing properly. If he had the balls to back up his threat, perhaps he'd see it as a sign of aggression and attack. Vivian could only hope that was the case.

Michael took a step back, not expecting her to attempt to overpower him. "Well, I guess that settles it." he said, putting his phone in his jacket. He straightened his jacket and cracked his neck, stepping forward toward the girl. "If you really are innocent, you have one last chance to come peacefully." he said, putting his hand on her shoulder. "Or if not, you can make life harder on yourself." he said, most emotion drained from his voice. He really didn't want to hurt the girl, he simply wanted his grandmother's ring back.

"I'm not innocent by any means, but again, I didn't do shit to you. If you're calling the cops anyway, that's the way it's going to be." Balling both of her hands into fists, she didn't move away even as he stood closer to her than before. "I'd run, but you'd probably call them right after. Not really in the mood to run from them, either. So we can settle this the old fashion way."

Despite her words, she didn't bother getting into an offensive stance, simply looking up at him with her metallic hands resting on her hips. "I'll let you get a free hit in, because I'm at least kind of nice. Also, didn't steal from you, man. But either you hit me, or I'll start this myself."

Michael, at this point boiling over in rage, grabbed the smaller woman, wrapping his arms around her torso and pinning her arms to her sides. He then fell forward, pressing his entire weight onto the smaller girl to try and pin her down. "There's one thing you have to learn, and learn quickly. Vaktars. Don't. Stay. Down." he said, grabbing both her wrists and attempting to hold them above her head.

Vivian didn't try to get out of the way, only starting to resist after he had grabbed her. Being as confident as she was, she didn't think it would be likely for him to beat her, but this was still a small setback. "We'll see about that." As he attempted to lift her arms above her head, she waited a few moments before actually attempting to fight back. With all of the strength built into her arm, she yanked and pulled one free, before quickly swinging her fist and bringing it down hard on top of his head. Using that to get his weight off of her slightly, she then pulled her legs out from under him and gave a two-legged kick towards his torso in attempt to push him away.
