1/2

[standardpackage]

[Heads up to deck one to meet his challenger.

OH. HEY IT'S EROL. OH AND WHO IS THATTT ~*RAZER*~. Best fucking day ever. He decides to make a quick audio to Ironhide to check on the kids.]

Locked to Ironhide 90%
Ya' doin' okay?

2/2

[standardpackage]

[Now for Erol...

Who isn't Cyber Errol? This isn't going to work out well...]

Erol, what th' fuck happened ta' you?

[psychoticracer]

[Erol leers, leaning back against the railing. And against Razer.]

I told you I wasn't a cyborg.

You might want to try listening some time, gutter trash.

[standardpackage]

[Jinx is SHAKING in his boots. Razer is much more terrifying in person and not as a sexy woman.]

Well that's a bit hard ta' believe since we're apparently from fuckin' different times. Ya' got hit by a zoomer 'er somethin.

Oh, I listened, Kid. You just didn't put things tagether.

[psychoticracer]

[Erol tips his head back to LAUGH.]

I didn't put things together?

[He shoves off the railing, takes a few VERY casual steps in Jinx's direction. It's the movement of a cat trying to make the bird think it's not interested. Erol's hand lingers along Razer's arm before they part.]

Enlighten me.

[standardpackage]

Why th' fuck are ya' laughing?! I'm sure that at some point Blondie's told ya' what happened ta' ya'.

[Jinx steps back as Erol nears. He stumbles from his shaking, but catches himself.]

Don't play dumb, asshole.

[psychoticracer]

[Erol sees that. His eyes narrow minutely and he licks his lips.

Your fear is delicious, Jinx.]

Your idiocy is astounding.

Of course I know what happened. I've been the cyborg I was and I've heard the war from several angles.

[And really, none of it matters. So what, he died in Haven? So what, he was a robot and Jak killed him?

He's not dead NOW. Here, nothing - well, almost nothing, let's not talk about Batou shall we - can stop him for good.

And as long as Erol somehow gets away with it to fight another day, he doesn't see any reason to change. So basically, he will keep on this way until he dies for good.

God help us all.]

What's priceless is that you knew about the time gaps, I told you I wasn't a robot and you didn't get it.

...

Oh, my. Did you tell other people I was a big, bad robot? And now you've shown up with all your friends at heel, just to take on little old me.

[Erol gestures disarmingly, both hands out. He is enjoying himself far too much. And sorry, yeah, he monologues.]

How humiliating.

[standardpackage]

Why th' hell would I even think a trustin' a guy like you?You are th' scum a' Haven an' ya' get some sort a fun outta harmin' th' innocent.

[Oh, he DID tell Roll. WELL this could be a problem seeing that she isn't allowed to hurt humans. FANTASTIC.]

Little ol' you? [Jinx chuckles.] That's a fuckin' understatement an' ya' know it! I knew what ya' were like before ya' 'died', Kid.

[Jinx stomps one confident foot forward.]

An' fer th' record, it's pretty damn hard ta' humiliate me.

[psychoticracer]

[Erol smirks, dipping his head to accentuate the angle. He's SO theatrical. Cracking his knuckles, the redhead's voice dips low.]

Well let's give it the old Krimzon Guard try, shall we?

[His eyes flick to Jinx's companions, then back. Tension builds in his body and it's palpable in the subtle way he holds his weight.]

You. Me. Agree to fight, no interference.

[The "or else" is implicit.]

[standardpackage]

Let's.

[Since Jinx is JUST SO GOOD at texting without looking. he sends Ironhide a little message behind him before bracing himself.

But, really? Jinx is so not ready for this and is about to head for the hills. Or hide. Whichever is faster.

He looks over to Roll to whisper something..]

Roll, ya' in?

[kazeyotsutaete]

[Little blonde out of place robot oh god and Erol isn't a robot, JINX YOU LYING LIAR WHO LIES.

and it may please Erol to see her frantically shake her head NO in response to Jinx's question.]

[standardpackage]

[WTF Are you doing?! Jinx really didn't know.

He puts his attention back to Erol who is getting closer WHY IS HE GETTING CLOSER?]

Roll...I didn't know...

[psychoticracer]

[Erol doesn't know what Roll's deal is, but it's suitably satisfying to him to see a little blonde girl apparently scared out of her wits.

Hey, everyone gets their kicks a little differently. Racing. Board games. Frightening helpless blondes.]

Then let's go.

[A quick side glance to his own allies.]

The dog's mine. Free rein on the rest.

[Erol darts forward with all the speed of a racer high on caffeine, ready to draw a knife from the rows hidden under his belt the moment he nears striking distance.]

[standardpackage]

[Jinx wants to scream. He REALLY wants to scream. He's not going to, though. Not in front of Erol.]

I'm not a fuckin' dog, fucker>.

[And Jinx doesn't run. Why? Because he's a chain-smoker with badish lungs. Instead he jumps to the right and rolls, the rail stopping him.

He uses it to pull himself up then glares at Erol.]

That [breath] all ya' [BREATH] got?

[ixgideonxi]

[Gideon, after helping gather Xanth and Kairi and then hearing Ironhide move out, has followed suit shortly after. He rushes onto the scene and immediately sees who he assumes to be Erol.]

Jinx-- you want help?
