'oh jeez .. there's more of them ... ' *the head looks to the door as she half stands up. spooked by the noise, but not quite ready to flee.

'be careful. i dont know how many .. just that there's more' *then looks over, and then sits back down again 'this is one of the 'don't get involoved' times .. right? .. ' *then takes the photoalbum again 'so .. this is my mom and dad, and my two brothers. *goes thru and tries to ignore the scuffle in the hall but pointing out who was who and what animal was which.

'a crazy family i guess. but we were never hungry .. weren't behind in the schooling. we got ahead in fact. i have some college equiv's under the belt. i did a lot of the sewing later when mom's fingers kinda started to seize .. '

*then turns to watch the door and is holding the lower lip in the mouth to stop fom blurting out something stupid now.

Kristien was about to get up when the noise faded. He smirked as he went back to the album. " You look very happy with your folks. so what are you doing here?" The itching stopped shortly thereafter.

Outside, there was a bit more commotion. none of it was understandable, except for one call out " Help!"

*seemingly happy she made the right choice to ignore what was happening is happy when she finally admits 'well .. whoever it was is leaving now. the itchings going away. gonna have to work on that i think. right .. i'm here to get a job, make a lot of money and send some back home so the troupe can reform again. it will be without animals this time, but i think that will be alright. better than begging on the street'

*smiles at the photo album, andthen it dies at the cry for 'help' .. and looks startled. 'okay .. i don't know about you, but i have to respond to that. someone is asking for help' *stands up and starts to move for the door*

" I've got a better way." His body began to transform into his crystalline form as he slid the screen open and hopped out, dropping three stories to the sidewalk below. He looked up at the window as he started acrossed the street. " You coming?"

[shiivster]

'yeah .. oh cool ... ' *then follows him out the window .. using her training and other skills to avoid mega damage as she seems to tumble down the wall. a touch here and another there and then a flip at the end, lands a 3-point landing .. and then stands up

'well i could have done that with more grace, kinda missed the first angle i think .. ' *then moves after him across the street.

[the 2 hit/bounce and the landing 74/78 .. 59/78 .. 33/78]

Two men in suits slam the back door of the same suburban that sierra had seen earlier as three of the kids from the building turned back to face Sierra and Khristian. " Oh crap...."

One of the suits said " Deal with them." as they headed for the front seats. All three kids pulled out automatic pistols.

Sierra could feel the itch again as she approached.

'i think its them ... ' *motioning the kids with the guns .. and then 'what is it with guns? .. everyone has them .. don't you know they're dangerous? jeez, put it away before you hurt someone ... '

" I think that's their plan." Kristian replied, flinching a bit as one of them opened fire , glancing off his shoulder. " Okay Circus girl, show this island boy your stuff."

The truck started to pull away.

[shiivster]

'thats the truck that came with the limo earlier .. '

*then seems to leap forward and dive at the same time .. the plan to tuck and roll and while standing up .. take one or maybe two out with a clothesline like move .. or at least knock them to the ground*

[13+3 strike .. damage from the body tackle move 3+9 ]

One of the two Sierra went after was caught by the clothesline, but the second one ducked, bringing his handgun around and firing wildly at her ( 7 to strike) Khris quickly subdued the third one . " we have to catch that truck"

[shiivster]

'i'll try to keep up. there's some traffic on the road .. maybe it will slow them down enough for me to keep them in sight ... ' *then takes off after the thruck as it starts to speed off* [her top speed - 21 wnt be able to keep up for long]

*using all her skills to stay on the feet when dealing with the occasional door opening, or a pedestrian crossing .. struggles to keep up long enough to get the plate at least.

*grabs something thats throwable, the lid of a public gabage can .. and sends it on the way .. trying to hit he undercarriage of the vehicle.

[tag]

[ hit Roll 1: 16. +4 -=- damage 5 plus any other damage incured by the .. throw]

[dakota]

Sparks flew as the lid riccheted of the Suburban's undercarraige, but it didn't slow down. Meanwhile, the passenger window rolled down and one of the suits started to lean out with an Uzi in hand and tried to balance himself against the widow frame.

*blinks and then curses 'dang. it always works in the movies ... ' *then continues the pursuit on foot, except this time she's on the street and hopingfor better time.

'stop theif. stop that truck. they stole my purse' .. *trying anything to get people involved to slow the vehicle down. then feeling the tingle of muscles, struggles to keep going, but continues to slow down

[tag]

[ooc - hey, if it works great, if not? .. didn't hurt to try to get someone else to stop te vehicle ... =p ]

[dakota]

No one seemed to want to get involved as Sierra called out. The suit in the window thought a moment about firing off a shot, but instead slid back in the window and the truck accelerated, soon outrunning her.

[shiivster]

*slows to a stop and moves for the sidewalk, bends at the waist .. catching her breath 'oh man ... and it was such a nice bag too ... ' *sighs and stands up and starts back the way she came
