Knife accepted the bottle and was in the process of downing it when the other man at the bar asked him where he was from. Placing the bottle back on the bar, Knife turned his head to the man. "Me? Well as far I know I'm from The Mall." He said, wincing as the Doctors Delight spread through his system and fixed the remainder of his injuries. "Originally, at any rate."world_of_dragons said:
The sound of crashing glass rings out from the apartment building, along with a loud scream. If they looked, the girls would see one of the bandits being thrown from the window, landing like a bag of wet cement. The cloaked figure exited the apartments through the same window he entered, heading down the fire escape before making his way over over to Vanessa and Ana. "It will be getting dark soon, unless you have a camp I suggest you come with me." He said, "If you do have a camp I still suggest you come with me. The Bulldogs will not like that they lost this many men."DotSlash said:

"The Mall?" Yuyuko asked as she walked over, following the conversation. "I don't believe I've ever heard of it. What's it like?" As she sat down on a stool, she waved Kin over and asked for another bottle of sake.Hussmann54 said:
Ana nodded, preferring to speak little at this point. "Sounds good." She slowly stood up, breathing deeply with a little wheezing. She shook her head. She was still a little low on blood. "What... direction...?" She said slowly.Knife-28 said:
[color=666666] "...Um..." [/color] Vanessa wasn't exactly eager to follow the man. Sure, he had saved their lives from the others but there was still the off chance he was just another one of them, albeit probably much smarter than them. Perhaps even the leader. However, once she noticed Ana being gung-ho for following the man, she scratched the back of her head.Knife-28 said:

"Hmm, think of it like a giant, well, Mall stretched across infinity." Knife starts, downing another swig of Doctor's Delight, "It's basically an infinite battlefield for a handful of hard-asses to duke it out with themselves or any outside forces for no real reason."world_of_dragons said:

The man jumped back upon hearing Ana speak and seeing her stand. Cursing in Polish he reflexively touched a hand to the butt his holstered rifle and muttered, "How...How can you still be alive?"DotSlash said:
[color=666666] "Right.... Lead the way, Mr. Ostrze." [/color] Vanessa replied, looking around a bit before sighing silently to herself. His move toward his rifle cause the labcoated woman to tense up a bit but she relaxed just as he did.Knife-28 said:

"Sounds like fun," Yuyuko added, and meant it. "But with Youmu being so opposed to getting involved with other worlds, and myself not being particularly good at physical combat, we don't really have much of a reason to go there." She downed a cup of sake and added, "Unless Youmu gets sent there by... accident. That's how she wound up on those other adventures, after all."world_of_dragons said:

"Eh stranger things have happened." Knife says. "Now, I should probably introduce myself shouldn't I? I'm Knife 28, though most people just stick to calling me Knife." With a whistle to catch Kin's attention, Knife tossed the now empty bottle back at the barkeep and turned to Yoyuko. "So, you're a friend of Youmu's Miss...."leet_x1337 said:
While still battling with confusion to how the woman who's throat he had seen slashed had made such a recovery, the more pressing matter of getting to safety spurred John on. "Right, stay close." He said before walking off at a brisk pace further down the street. Despite the state of the city, if the girls were eagle-eyed enough and knew London, they might realise that the man was taking them towards the river.DotSlash said:
Vanessa followed almost silently after the man, bringing her revolver out as they continued moving along. While having a decent eye, she wasn't familiar with London, and as such had no clue where they were going. This little gap led to her asking something quietly as they moved. [color=666666] "...So... do you know how this city ended up the way it did...?" [/color]Knife-28 said:
"Where...." are we... going?"DotSlash said:

"I'd say he looks more like a mercenary." Knife says, taking a seat to the other side of Heavy Weapons Guy. "Of course that,s just my personal guess."wackymon said:

"It is not far now." John said as he cast a glance back at the girls. "Stay close now." He adds as he pulls out a solid looking torch and starts descending the stairs to the Tube station.DotSlash said:
"In my experience, there's not a lot of difference," Archniel told Knife. "Only that the mercenaries get paid more. Rank-and-file soldiers are just as willing to change sides. Although," she looked at the Heavy again, "this guy looks anything but rank-and-file."Knife-28 said:
"That is good to know. Heavy is Mercenary for Red team." he says, "I fight Blu team each day. Helps pay for Family, and it's fun. Best job, I say." he said, picking up the beers once they were delivered, and walking up to the Red Gardevoir, tossing her one as she contined to walk around.leet_x1337 said:
"So, who are you, nice sir..." she said, a mild inflection.Knife-28 said:
