After the week Renji had had he was ready to get out of the Mansfield as much as possible and just go kill things. The crabs were always in fresh supply somewhere and it gave him an excuse to break in the sword Minako had given to him for Christmas.

He hadn't named it yet...though his conversations with Zabimaru made him reluctant to give the sword a name.

Renji had heard some commotion a few blocks over and was running to investigate, sword already drawn. He saw the carnage when he turned the corner and the battle-scarred man standing amidst it. Renji blinked, he'd done a lot of damage and he looked like he was ready to fall over, "Oi! You okay?" Renji jumped over one of the crab bodies to make his way over to him. He noticed the stop sign in the man's hand...damn had he done all that with a pole? This guy was good.

Kida'd seen better days, though she hoped to see brighter ones shortly. After spending some rather painful months exploring the city's subterranean areas as well as locating where she came in, Kida came back unsuccessful and a few pounds lighter.

That being said, her efforts had not been completely in vain. She found it possible, though difficult, to survive by actually eating the parasites, though the taste was difficult to stomach. Their shells, however, did make a decent light armor, which she held together with sinews from the creatures. Though crude, it was manageable ( ... )

Haine had seen the guy before the crabs attacked, and probably would have helped him, but apparently the guy needed no help.

He only stepped forward once the red head came running over.

"There'll probably be more," he said, kicking a dead crab aside. "It'd be best to get out of here."

Voices! Jack's eyes shot up in a furrow glare at the new comers to the scene. He couldn't make out the shapes of their bodies, but he knew bounty hunters Aku had sent after dealing with his new monsters.

Even if the world seemed to grow heavier with each moment, Jack wasn't about to surrender to Aku's minions! Of course, the minute he tried to lower himself to make a leaping strike, he couldn't stop himself from falling.

Apparently he wasn't the only one wandering this part of the city, Renji looked over to the woman as well as the man who has apparently been here before. The injured party was his concern, he couldn't really do anything about the injuries but he could help get him out of here if needed. Which, according to the other man, would be soon, "Probably...they'll be attracted to the smell more than anything."

Renji noticed the injured man move to strike but he only managed to fall over, Renji frowned, did he think they were crabs or something? Man, this guy was out of it.

He looked over to the woman, sheathing his sword for the moment, "Not sure, looks like he got pulled into some heavy crab fighting by himself."

Kida braced herself when the newcomer readied to strike, but when he fell, Kida did her best to catch him. Though very strong for a woman, she wasn't ready for the weight of a man, and all she managed was to awkwardly keep him from hitting the pavement. The huntress managed to gently lower him to the ground. "Be still! We mean to harm to you ( ... )

Haine didn't enjoy the woman staring at his hair and eyes. He got enough of it at home.

"If you need to move him, then you two do it. I'm able to take out those crab things from a pretty good distance, so I'll keep you covered." he said, drawing his guns to the ready.

Jack didn't say anything, having completely fallen unconscious. His body had several deep gashes, including several across his chest and back followed by an army of minor scratches covering the rest of his exposed body. If one had a really good eye and could see through the muck of Crab blood, they could see that such injuries were a frequent occurrence as his chest was covered in old faded scars.

His clothes weren't in much better shape. The once white sash he wore had kept the lower half of his gi from falling, but what was less of the remaining robe was in tatters.

Renji moved over to the fallen man and looked at Kida, "No idea, I've never seen him before but that doesn't say much." After all, Renji didn't keep tabs on everyone who appeared in Manhattan.

He snorted when the other man didn't offer to help...then again he had a point about someone needing to be able to fend off crabs when they started arriving. "Alright," Renji looked back to the woman and the unconscious guy, "where are we movin' him too?"

crystalchamber January 19 2009, 06:51:27 UTC

Kida nodded to the tattooed man. That she could relate to.

The queen's curious look at the white-haired man turned to one of slight annoyance. "Very well, do what you wish."

Deeming him able to be moved, despite his injuries, Kida lifted the samurai's torso, ready to lift if the swordsman could lend his strength. At least with two people it would be much easier to safely move him. "Anyplace that is free of the parasites. Are any of the nearby buildings safe?"

bark_n_bite January 19 2009, 07:45:05 UTC

"Should be." Haine replied, moving toward the nearest and kicking open the door.

"This way," he called, motioning to the pair. "There's a couch you can lay him on."

dreadthered January 20 2009, 02:16:39 UTC

Renji helped the woman heft the man up, he was pretty solid which told Renji this man had seen a lot of action in the past. He looked over to where the white haired guy had gone and followed him, moving slowly so the woman could keep up and so the injured wouldn't be hurt even more.

When they got inside he put the man on the couch, turning his attention to the man still at the door, he fingered the sword at his side, "Any sign of more of the crabs, yet?"

crystalchamber January 20 2009, 08:24:19 UTC

Kida found it easy to keep up with the help, but her greatest concern was the man's injuries.

As soon as she got the man on the couch, she dropped her spear and went for the nearby kitchen. Though food was long gone, she found the kitchen was not without supplies. Kida grabbed a large mixing bowl and tossed it into the sink, turning the faucet on hot. Scrounging through the drawers she found a few sets of kitchen towels.

She returned quickly to the warrior's side, wiping away the grime, ikor and blood from his wounds with the hot towels.

"If any more appear, it would be unwise to try to move him again. I cannot determine if there is any internal bleeding."

If there was, Kida knew there would be a serious problem. Though crystals could heal internal wounds, they were difficult. And given what she'd learned about what this place did to her crystal, doing so would likely cause her to pass out.

bark_n_bite January 20 2009, 16:28:56 UTC

"It won't be hard to handle any more that may show up from here." Haine replied, shutting the door.

"How bad is it?" he asked, eyeing Kida's progress.

dreadthered January 21 2009, 01:23:57 UTC

Renji was really starting to appreciate what the fourth squad's function was back home and was really starting to miss them. Still, no point wishing for people that weren't here. He sighed, "As long as we can keep them away from those two." He turned way from the other man to see what the woman was doing, "They might be attracted to all the blood...but they aren't exactly known for busting down doors to get at people so hopefully that'll be enough to keep'em off us."

"We'll keep them away from you and him at least...if they do show," he told the woman.

crystalchamber January 21 2009, 06:37:06 UTC

"That is good," Kida answered them both. "Blood or not, I plan on disposing these towels out the window if they try to burst in. If nothing else, it will provide a distraction to those still outside."

When the white-haired man asked about the newcomer's health, Kida raised an eyebrow slightly at him, looking ever so slightly surprised. It was the first time he seemed to show concern. She looked back to her patient with narrowed eyes, concentrating on her work and pressing a towel against a slowly-bleeding wound. "He has lost a lot of blood. Thankfully the wounds have basically clotted themselves, though I pray there are no internal injuries. If his body can survive the shock and he truly has the spirit of a warrior, then he will survive."
