WHO: Jason and Yuugao
WHAT: Mistaken identity!
WHERE: Truth or Consequences, near the Buckaroo to start.
WHEN: Sometime shortly after Crane's post.
WARNINGS: Violence and swearing is like 90% certain.
SUMMARY: Jason beat up Crane, who whined to the network about it. Yuugao was like OOPS DUDE IT WAS PROBABLY SOME GUY AFTER ME because they look alike. Crane was like ... yyyyess that must be it >_> So now Yuugao is going to beat Jason up and question him.
He should have known that Crane would play this to his advantage. Crying to the network and grabbing their sympathy like that - it could turn into a real problem for him, if he wasn't careful. He'd just have to lie low in one of the crappy warehouses he'd scoped out. If only drug gangs ran from cushy apartments - he could take one over and sleep there. But no, so far it was all warehouses and rickety shacks with less boards on the floors than the windows. No air conditioning, no carpeting, barely any mod cons at all.
But it'd do.
Jason walked down the street almost casually, turning down an alleyway for a shortcut and thinking over how he'd keep a low profile as he headed to the convenience store to pick up some groceries. First he'd pick up supplies and move out - without so much as a note, sorry Steve - and then he'd work on observing Crane. Catch him in the act and drag his activities to light, so he could debunk his little sob story once and for all.
His train of thought was interrupted as he felt someone dropping on him from behind. And they moved fast - he barely had time to react, twisting out of the way as they went for his neck. Trying to pin him? Some guy in a mask he didn't recognise - and it didn't matter yet. What mattered was getting some distance, so Jason aimed a kick at their midsection, hoping to knock the wind out of them and buy himself time to flip backwards.
