[D2, ME] Operation Partycrash (tag Roxi and Varina)

[Honor]

"Hey man, like," Roxi wasn't sure why they were getting so upset, it was just a casual bump, "Sorry, I guess?"

She offered her apology, and started moving back to her companions. Assuming they'd let her, of course.

"No, you don't under-stand," he said, moving in Roxi's way. "Do you see that," he pulled up his shirt a little to show her, "that's dirt, from you on my shirt. Do you have ANY idea how much I paid to have this in such good condition? More than you've ever known," he shook his head. "What has even happened to this place, letting people like you in here," he said.

[Roxi]

"Who cares? It's just some dirt. Look, I don't mind saying sorry once, but you're starting to be a real sleemo here, and I also don't mind cracking some skulls either. All I want is to get over to my friends."

[Varina Ordo]

Varina glanced back and sighed. It seemed like the others were lost. She reached into her pockets and slipped on her sap gloves before walking on up.

And, well, she kept one hand on the garrote in case she needed it. Maybe she could play the "savior" for Mr. Dumb Rich Guy.

[Honor]

When Varina got close enough she could hear "You've gone over the line POKOSTA!" shouted, and the fist swung. Striking Tybalt in the cheek he went down quick, catching himself against the booths seat. Standing over him the other man, of similar age to Tybalt, was getting ready to go in for another hit.

Please roll Vigilance for Initiative.

Varina will start at Short.
Roxi and Solork will start at Medium.

Each person may only move once per turn unless they also make an appropriate action to part their way through the crowds, Athletics or Coordination.

Varina shakes her head and goes in. She had never actually garroted anyone in her life but now seemed like a pretty good time to do it.

D2 ME Vigilance for Initiative: 3eA 3 successes

[Solork Tan]

"Ahh yes, this kind of party. I know the steps here" Solork charges ahead as he sees the target get pummeled by a third party. That made his next move easy.

[Roxi]

Roxi was still dealing with the sleemos blocking her way when she heard the commotion, and looked past them.

Init: 3eA 1 success, 1 advantage

[Leah kuso]

The middle of the shift. The evening had been a fast paced one, and Leah was glad to finally have a break - it was a tiring evening so far. She leaned against the bar, still in her extremely skimpy outfit with just a jacket over her shoulders to hide her as best it could. She sipped her water, watching the stage with an impressed expression. The dancers here were so well trained.

Although the commotion had her attention, and it concerned her. What if it's the Hutts!?

She went to move in that direction.

(rolling init although I'm further away than others:

D2 ME Vigilance for combat: 2eA 1 success, 3 advantage

[Solork Tan]

The world contracts, with a clear vision for Solork to chase his target. He charges the man who struck Pokosta, drawing back his left arm. The limb whines as the capacitors in his arm discharge, popping the man with a hard hook.

"Hands off the merchandise!"

[You can save on the strain!]

Leah is Long from the main combat, while short from Roxi.

[Leah kuso]

"Get a message up to Mallory, fast. Got a fight going on" Leah said to the serving man, before making her way over to the fight.

"Oi, enough!" she called out

(Using turn to get message to Mallory/speak then move from long to medium, then to short.

D2 ME coordination to move more than once in a turn: 2eA 1 success, 2 advantage

[Honor]

Prince Jackass tries to shove Roxi off her feet, but he was more of a nuisance than anything really troublesome. With all the loud music going on, it was hard to hear, but Leah's words did ring out a little. It wasn't enough to stop Prince Jackass, but yea.

Slap Fiiiiiiight: 2eA+2eD+1eS 0 successes, 2 threat


2 threat for Roxi to use on PJ.

Init:
Roxi -
Aggressor -
End of Combat -

[Roxi]

"Ugh," the sleemo tried pushing her, but his attempt was so ineffectual that he nearly tripped over his own feet, creating an opening for her to get past him and the other people in the crowd that moved out of the way of the tripping jackass.

She wasn't sure *exactly* what was happening; but she saw Varina trying to murder the guy, and then calling out for someone to give him another punch. Well, Roxi was okay with *that*. She ran toward the dogpile to join in, a heavy fist hitting the guy in the stomach when she arrived.


2 threats convert to free out-of-turn maneuver for Roxi, used to close distance to short from aggressor, 1 maneuver used to close to engage with the aggressor

Gutpunching the aggressor: 2eP+2eA+2eD 3 successes


7 wounds inflicted

[Honor]

The original aggressor went limp in Varina's hold, unconscious with the garrote around his neck. Bloodied face from the first hit, and a bruise that was sure to last a lifetime from the second.

Mallory came up through the crowd with a few of her suits, and before the snob that was bothering Roxi could complain much she pushed the guy down onto his knees with a simple shove. "Party's over for you," she said. Flashing a glance up over at the ones surrounding the unarmed man the suits took up position around then, holding their weapons.

"Put him down, and back away," they said. "Now."

Pokosta, on the other hand, slowly pulled himself up from his seat. Hiding his grin. One of the girls behind him had started sobbing half-way through and the other was just completely shocked to silence. There was another young man in the booth who just said, "Bro."

[Roxi]

"Uh..." she blinked, looking at the new people who showed up, making demands and surrounding them with weapons... then slowly turned to her companions.

"Do we punch them as well?"

[Varina Ordo]

"What? What's wrong with you?" Varina asked Roxi. She loosened her garrote and let the guy drop to the ground like a sack. "We're obviously here to help our good friend after he got attacked by, uh..."

She nudged the unconscious fellow. "This guy."

[Honor]

As soon as the man dropped security seemed to lighten up, putting away their own weapons but still keeping the situation contained until Mallory gave the word.

[Leah kuso]

Leah finally made it over, looking glad when she saw Mallory had the situation under control.

"Such violence.."

[Tybalt Pokosta]

"I'm not quite sure what I did to earn friends like you," he said, looking at the joined mercenaries. Placing a hand on Solorks shoulder, "But I must say I love it," he smiled.
