Even as early as his "birth", Cazali had been all about quickness over strength. The assassain; the retrieval unit sent in to gather evidence, or eliminate it. Speedy legs to get him in, light to blind the enemy's defenses, and wind to cover his escape. His technique was finely-tuned to a science, almost to the level of instinct. None of the other ( Read more... )

As luck would have it--or perhaps as misfortune would have it-- Ankh was walking right down that hallway. He wasn't so crazy about saving the world, he didn't have to deal with that body-swapping nonsense (or whatever it was) and he didn't have any sort of job or mission. Most of his days were spent idling about, watching the rest of the crew, and Stacy, and a bit of space.

And among that watching was wandering (the hawk candroid could go everywhere, but without the hopper can, he couldn't see it for himself), and so here he was, and with a slack of his shoulders and an aggreavted "tch," he noticed Cazali. It was probably too much to ask to try and pass peacefully, so he lulled his neck ever so slightly and turned an aggrevated stare on the yellow Greeed.

"Fancy seeing you here. Found any good fishing spots to waste your time at?"

Oh. Oh, fuck.

Cazali shifted his head towards Ankh in stages, exhaling slowly through his figurative teeth when he didn't keep walking. Why was he approaching? Had he caught on already? Was the game up, and could he- no, no, overthinking would just throw him off. The Greeed took a step back, deeper in to the hallway, shrugging as well as he could. Frankly, his posture was stiffer than usual.

"I dunno, have you found any dinosaurs to stalk suicidally?"

Zouichi, as it turned out, wasn't looking for either of them. In fact, he was off-duty and rather enjoying his time not breaking up any fights or fighting space bugs or anything else. Alan was perched on his shoulder, chattering about turkey (he had not been allowed any, no matter how he had eyed it) and space as the both of them moved along one of the ship's many fleshy corridors.

A quirk of an eyebrow; there was something about Cazali's behavior that was a bit off. He seemed stiff and he was backing up? He was off-kilter. The dumb cat actually seemed like a scaredy cat. Wow.

Ankh's eyes narrowed; this was just making him more suspicious than entertained at this point. Although there was no doubt there was a glint of amusement. He swung his legs a little as he walked, slouching a bit and taking a few step towards Caz. "Nope; sorry to disappoint you, but I'm over that."

Of course he was kind of interrupted by some bird squawking, which had him roll his eyes just a little as he lulled his head towards Zouichi. "The hell is with that stupid bird?"

It felt, in a weird way, like Caz had never watched the other Greeed so closely before. He stilled his hands as the other approached as mockingly as possible, swallowing his metaphorical tongue, and not spewing a single insult.

Then, the idiot bird turned his attention to something else squawking- Cazai didn't think to see who or what -and the Greeed shifted forms, lashing out to jam his claws in to two key places...that stupid Greeed arm, and his opposite shoulder. His surroundings didn't matter, and he leaned in, hissing his demand.

"Where...are my medals...?"

Excuse you Ankh, Alan was the best bird. That's right, better than you.

Anyway, wow, that looked like a problem in progress if Zouichi had ever seen one. He let Alan loose, sending the parrot to flutter off on his own, out of harm's way. "Cazali," he said, walking toward the both of them. Hadn't Cazali said he didn't want those medals back?

"If you wanted to get your medals back on a permanent basis, this is about the worst way to do it."

No Alan is a stupid bird. Stupid stupid bird.

He probably could have reacted better, but really he hadn't seen it coming. Usually Cazali wasn't this...hasty? Regardless, the most Ankh had a chance to do was form his Greeed arm on his right arm, falling back against one of those disgusting flesh walls, and wincing. A medal or two fell out of his arm, while his shoulder draw just a bit of blood.

He craned his neck slightly around Cazali to glance at Zouichi (so much for security, huh?), scoffing a bit before focusing back on Cazali.

"I don't have them," He said with a shrug, smirking and raising his left hand with another small wince, as if in a gesture to prove he was medal-less.

Now, now, ladies, you're both beautiful!

Caz seemed to continue his Ignore-People-Who-Aren't-Ankh routine, dropping the claws that had struck the Greeed arm. What Ankh said didn't matter- he just needed the medals. His stupid, inane, smirking face wasn't relevant.

He dug his still-embedded claws deeper in to that shoulder, grabbing around Ankh's midsection awkwardly to try and locate the medal case. Not that he trusted that thing after the FIRST time, but it was a start.

"Just give me mine, I don't even fucking care about your bullshit."

Well, that was not a good sign at all. Zouichi reached the both of them, placing his hand on the arm Cazali was using to, uh... grope Ankh's medals. If there was a way he could settle this without a fight, that would be ideal.

"Cazali."

On the plus side, his Greeed arm was free, though for now he simply let that hang at his side. Retaliating now would probably get Zouichi on his case too. His shoulder on the other hand, was leaking even more nice red blood, causing Ankh to wince yet again.

"Like I care," he spat out; the medals case was tucked into his jacket like it usually was, though the minute Cazali got close, Ankh would harshly bat his hand away like scolding a child over a cookie jar.

The plan had been to get in quick, get out quick. But Ankh was ever the speedbump. The bat at his hand, while ridiculous, seemed to tip Caz in to a very...special level of paranoia. He seemed to finally realize someone was intervening, but only had the cognitive ability to throw his arm out, trying to blast Zouichi back with wind while he yanked his claws out of the bloodied shoulder. They were jammed in the fleshy wall instead, nearly giving Ankh a rather awkward piercing.

"Why do you keep withholding them?! Why?" There was no denying it- he was genuinely emoting over this. "What does it get you? Satisfaction? Security? I don't even care about the others, they can go rot, I just want my body back! That's all...!!"

Zouichi was thrown backwards, but that wasn't enough to take him down for good -- he was back up in a flash, and increasingly annoyed. Okay, buddy, you didn't want to talk here? Then you could do it at the Station. From one of his pockets, he removed a small taser gun, leveling it at Cazali's back. Generally, it wasn't great to actually shoot your crewmates, so maybe this would calm him down a little.

"I'm going to have to ask you to come with me to the Brig." And that was Cazali's only warning before Zouichi pressed the trigger, firing the devices twin electrodes at the Greeed.

In the end, Caz got zapped and promptly jetted, without any coins and without going to the brig because he's a tweak.
