Fuck it! We're doing it LIVE! (Rina/Open)

[Marcus Prasad]

Marcus was up uncharacteristicaly early today. Taking another bite out of the tomato which would serve as his breakfast for now as he prowled around the house he shared with his fiery roomate Silk, who herself was currently snoring away in her room, he would mutter to himself excitedly as his hands wove sharp precise images in the air, almost giving his frantic disjointed thoughts shape while under the predatory eye of Bandit, the calico cat from hell who belonged to said roomate who was most decidedly NOT up at the buttcrack of dawn.

"Who to trust.......Who to trust......Can't be just anyone nononononono not with this not with something like this."
'Something like this' being yet another interesting discovery Marcus had made while out and about in the city. Unlike the warehouse where he had his fateful encounter with a certain woman with off-color eyes, this Discovery did NOT come easy.
This would help explain why he was dressed up in his Parkour clothes consisting of black sweatpants, a black hoodie with the hood down and a bandana tied around his head, his long hair tied back into a braided ponytail. Around his waist was a toolbelt full of an assortment of stuff one would find in a garage. Tools mostly, much of them makeshift and in various states of damage.

Pausing in the middle of his pacing, The man would turn to stare at Bandit for a moment, making the suspicious kitty yawn his disdain at the poor man. Eyes suddenly lighting up, Marcus would lunge for his phone beside Bandit, who would bolt like lightning away with an enraged yowl. Pulling a scrap of paper out from behind a pile of scraps of paper on the counter, Marcus began to Dial.

"Errrrm Hello. This is Marcus Prasad calling. Is Rina or Senji Awake yet?"

[Rina Vade]

When the phone rang, Mila had answered it. She told Senji who it was, and the silver-haired male grew excited.

--

If there was one thing that Rina couldn't understand, it was how the hell Senji could have so much freaking energy at five in the morning. Groaning, the raven-haired young woman rolled over and pulled the covers over her head as the door burst open. "Riinnna! Wake up! Mila said Marcus is on the phone!!" Senji shouted loudly.

This got her attention.

Scrambling out of the bed, Rina ignored Senji's red face upon seeing her in only a large shirt and strode out into the living room where Mila was standing at the table, phone against her ear. "Oh, here comes Rina now." the shorter girl said into the reciver.

"Hey! Put some pants on or something!" came Senji's voice and Mila giggled. Rolling her eyes at Senji's comment, Rina took the phone from Mila and said, "Hey Marcus, what's up? Been a while."

[Marcus Prasad]

"Allo poppet!"
Marcus replied cheerfully despite the pang of guilt hitting him in the gut. Was that a hint of reproach in Rina's voice or was he just imagining it? How long has it been since that fateful day on the trolley? Marcus had only been in the city for a few days then. It almost felt like ages ago.
"Yeah, sorry for losing touch. It had taken me alot longer than I expected to get situated around here. Long story, kinda boring. Anyway! If you aren't wearing pants now, you might want to throw some on and drag that lazybones Senji out with you. I have alittle surprise for you two to make up for my dissapearing act."

Suddenly Marcus would be seeing stars as something small and metal bounced off the side of his head. Whipping around, he spotted Bandit sitting on the counter with a most pointed look the little cat could muster. Reaching down, Marcus picked up what appeared to be a can of tuna.

Wait.....tuna?

"Oh Thats how it is huh?"
The man chided, the phone held away from his mouth as the cat actualy nodded it's little furry head!
With a sigh, he wedged the phone between the crook of his neck and set about finding the can opener.

[Rina Vade]

Rina grinned as Marcus spoke cheerfully. It was good to hear from him again. "Pssst, let me talk to him!" Senji was hovering behind her, and was being annoying.

"No, I'm talking to him right now." she hissed back, scowling. She returned to speaking with Marcus. "Yeah, Senji missed ya." she giggled when the words, 'Hey, you did too!' came from the silver-haired male.

Like she'd ever admit that.

Finally, unable to wait any longer, Senji reached out and pinched Rina's hip, making her jump and drop the phone. "Ha!" grabbing the reciever in triumph, he said to Marcus, "Hey man! How are you? It's great that you called....ow!!"

Rina had pulled on Senji's long hair and taken the phone back from him.

As he started complaining, she scolded him, and it would clearly be heard by Marcus if he so listened. "Okay, where do you want to meet?" Rina asked, the smile evident in her voice. "Hey, Senji quit it!" she half-laughed, probably making Marcus wonder what was going on.

OOC - I'm in a silly mood lol XD

[Marcus Prasad]

While Rina and Senji horsed around, Marcus paced around the kitchen as he prepared His and bandits breakfast. For the kitty cat, he simply dumped half the tin into his feeding bowl. For himself, he made a delicious sandwitch.
Waste not, want not after all.
"Oi! Don't make me seperate you two!"
The man replied with a chuckle. He could easily imagine those two goofing off. He didn't mind of course, in this day and age any laughter of genuine mirth was welcome.

"Anyway. Like I said, sorry for losing touch on you guys, but trust me when I say I'm gonna make it up to you two."
Marcus then rattled off a Set of coordinates that would lead the two kids to The warehouse Marcus had scouted a few weeks ago.
"Remember, bring running clothes. We're gonna go exploring!"
He exclaimed with barely checked glee before hanging up the phone.
Taking a seat at the table with Bandit, the man began to chow down. After awhile he would look up at Bandit with an uncertain expression.
"They can handle it....right? I mean it's only the outermost edges of his territory after all....."
But the cat would simply lick his paw and give Marcus a pointed stare, leaving him to shrug and give the Calico cat a good scritching behind his ear.
"Yeah, you're right. If I thought they couldn't handle it, I wouldnt dream of taking them."

[Rina Vade]

Mila waved to her two roommates as they raced out the door, Senji nearly stumbling as Rina cut in front of him. Those two...

Smiling and shaking her head, she closed the door.

--

The bike Senji had stolen borrowed was bright red. One of Rina's favorite colors. "Jeeze, Senji! Could you be any more obvious?" she laughed from where she sat on the handle bars. He huffed and didn't reply. Rina smirked. Senji could be such a kid sometimes.

"Okay, this is it." the silver-haired boy skidded to a stop and Rina jumped down. Looking up at the old warehouse, Senji whistled. "It's in pretty good shape for being run-down out here for so long." he said.

"Yeah, if you don't include the broken windows." Rina replied. She ignored the look he shot her.

Going up and peering into one of the so-called windows, Senji asked from over his shoulder, "I wonder why Marcus chose a place like this?"

"Dunno." Rina shrugged, leaning against the wall and crossing her arms. They were about to find out, though, weren't they?

[Marcus Prasad]

{OOC} Sorry for taking so long >.< And sorry it's so short {OOC}

"Well color me dissapointed."
Spoke a playful and familliar voice that seemed to echo all around the two.
"Cause I figured you guys would have remembered the golden rule! Always be aware of your surroundings."

Suddenly a blur of motion would appeare on the rooftop of one of the warehouse buildings. Revealing himself, Marcus would jump off the roof, roll along the top of a 53' container docked into the bay and leap off, landing with a graceful thump before Senji and Rina with a big smile on his face. Rising up to his full height, the big man would cross his arms and look from student to student, that big grin never leaving his face. It was good to see them again. He could feel the enthusiasm running through his veins again.

"Also to always remember that Perception governs everything! Rina, Senji."
Marcus began, waving a hand to encompass the entire Lot they were standing in.
"Look about you, tell me what you see? Try to work out what possible reason I would have to bringing you to a place like this?"

[Rina Vade]

Sorry! Was grounded!

Rina wasn't at all surprised when Marcus's voice came from the rooftops somewhere. She knew he'd been here before they had arrived. She'd sensed his presance. At first, it took her a while to remember what to look for to find him...the color of yellow and amathyst; a good soul with much energy.

Maybe she'd tell him about her abilities one of these days.

"Whoa! Marcus, hey! Sup, man?" Senji asked with a grin. At Marcus's words he looked sheepish, earning a roll of eyes from Rina.

The raven-haired young woman smirked and walked up to Marcus, one hand on her hip. "I was aware of my surroundings. You just weren't watching hard enough." she said, her smirk growing. Then she grinned and hugged him. "Great to see you again." she said.

Senji coughed. "Okay now. Enough with the lovey-dovey crap you two lovebirds." he said in a teasing manner. (Haha, couldn't resist XD) Rina stepped back and flipped him off.

"Oh, whatever, Senji." she growled.

He only snickered.

OOC - Remember, I'm not the only one who can RP Senji!^^

[Marcus Prasad]

Marcus reared back with his hands in the air and you could tell by his face he was taken by surprise as Rina threw her arms around him. It certainly wasn't the reaction he had expected.
'Must be my charming personality.....Or something.'
He hugged back of course. One never refuses to hug back when a cute young thing glomps you. It's just good manners!

"Heh. Good to see you too Rin."
He said with a wide grin. Upon hearing Senji make his little wisecrack, Marcus grinned like a wolf. He might as well have just wrapped himself up in meat and jumped into a shark tank.
"Really boyo? Sorry, I didn't mean to steal your thunder."

Senji stopped mid snicker and tilted his head, obviously confused. Marcus smile became toothy like the cheshire cat.
"Cause you know, Jealousy IS common in the young right. And I could understand with Rina being so young and attractive....."

"Wait...WHAT?!??!?!?"
Senji's eyes buldged as it hit him square in the head.
"I'm not.......There's no......I......WHAT!??!?!"
The horrorstruck look on Senji's face sent Marcus into a fit of laughter as he walked up to the shocked young lad and mussed his hair up with both hands.
"Ah you're so cute when your utterly confused Senji!"
He coo'ed before stepping back and facing them both.

"Alright guys! Here's the deal. I have a little plan for the both of you. REEEEAAAAAL Mysterious stuff! First things first though, I need to see if you guys are worth the effort. I've liked what I've seen so far. You guys have ALOT of potential but I need to see how you guys apply your skills. So first things first, we play a game of follow the leader. After that.....well lets see how well you guys can keep up with me."

[Rina Vade]

Rina stepped back, hands on her hips as she watched Senji's reaction to Marcus's words. She herself wasn't all to happy about that. "Marcus, I will punch you." she stated firmly.

Then, she grinned.

"I'm the one who supposed to annoy and confuse Senji!" she said, playfully leaping at the silver-haired boy and wrapping one arm around his neck, the other pinching his cheek. "Awww, poor, poor Senji. He just can't stand up to someone as hot as me!"

Senji sputtered and tried to pull away. "Hey now!" he exlaimed, frowning. "That's so not true! G-get off!" he finally managed to pry himself loose and Rina let him with a giggle. Finally, they settled down enough to listen to Marcus, their oh so wonderful drill sargent teacher.

With a sly look, Rina said, "We're too old for games. Why don't Senji and I just beat you in a race?" they'd been practicing, and where getting better and better everyday. She and Senji were a pretty even match. Most of their races ended in a tie.

But could they beat Marcus?

Either way; whether they raced him or not today, it would happen sooner or later. "You know I'll keep up!" Senji grinned, fist-pumping the air.

Rina snorted. "Not if I can help it." she smirked.

"Hey!"

She put on an innocent look. Oh boy, this was gonna be interesting.

[Marcus Prasad]

Marcus' eyebrows nearly dissapeared under his bangs at Rina's challenge. He knew they both had wanted to test themselves against him for some time, his only reason for hesitation being his competitive nature. Last thing he wanted to do was get ahead of himself and utterly crush thier confidence. He had wrestled with this growing conflict within his head until one night where an old memory had popped up within his head. Hadn't he, during his freshman year, found himself cornered by a School teacher? Did he not fight bitterly and hard, never yeilding until he had finaly passed out from 6 broken ribs and a concussion? All because the Teacher......Mr. Malice! That was his name! All because that man threatened a new friend?

Was his confidence crushed after his very first defeate?

"You know, thats one of the reasons why I like you guys so much. Ya got STONES!"
He exclaimed with a smile.
"Cause lord knows it takes big ones to challenge me at my own game. Alright boy and girl, If we are gonna have a race, we're gonna need a track. Hmmmmm."
Marcus looked about himself for a minute or so, running over the layout of the place within his minds eye before snapping his fingers with a laugh.
"Mmkay! Listen up folks!"
He began, gesturing to the building beside them.
"Starting point is right here. First step is to get up to the roof. Second step is to get inside. Then it's an obstical run through each section of the property, the Office complex, the Warehouse sections and finaly out into the yard where we circle back to this spot."

As Marcus described the route, he would trace it with a pointed finger. It defiantly was a circuitious route. Nice and easy to remember. Well, in theory, Marcus knew damn well what kind of cluttered clusterfuck the inside of the massive long building was.
"Remember kiddies, The final door to go outside is that blud man-door way done at the end of the building. Then it's a flat sprint through the parking lot and yard stuffed with cars, trucks and forklifts back to here."

Marcus gave them a moment to soak all that in before letting a wolflike grin spead across his face.
"Ready? GO!"
And with that, he was back uptop of the container he had previously leapt down upon, running along it's length back towards the building. With a running leap he was atop of the roof, kicking the rooftop hatch open with a firm kick before dissapearing inside with a small hop. Landing on a shelving unit lined with boxes, Marcus crouched low and stayed high, his sillouhette visable only for the slpit seconds he was caught under the emergency lights as he made his way through. Slowly at first. After all, he didnt want to beat them TOO badly.

[Rina Vade]

Well, by golly! They were going to race after all!

Rina shot Senji a grin. They had decided to work as a team at the start against Marcus, and had trained hard. The moment that Marcus yelled "go" they were off, running side by side. Senji boosted Rina up towards the roof and she grabbed onto the edge. Then, he leaped up and grabbed her ankles, letting her swing him up and onto the roof. From there, he yanked her up and they took off, following Marcus down the metaphorical rabbit hole.

Unlike Marcus or even Senji, Rina was good in the rafters. Better than she was on the ground. Her slim hands found a beam and she used it to swing herself ahead of the both of them.

Now, it was everyone for themselves.

With a twittering, bell-like laugh, Rina flipped from the beams to the crumbling shelves, using them as springboards to reach a high window, where she grabbed onto the ledge and dropped to the ground, inches from the door.

(Let's give ya chance with Senji XD)

[Marcus Prasad]

{OOC} MUSE IS BACK! Sorry for the wait Rina >_< {OOC}

Marcus smiled as he watched Rina launch herself over him and flit across the rafters. He could feel the muscles in his back and legs coil tight and had to resist the urge to shoot ahead of her, overtaking her and kicking through the door. So instead he opted to put some pressure on her, staying back but close enough to hopefully make her sweat as he kicked his legs up and vaulted clean off the shelves, a twenty foot drop, tucked into a PK roll and almost jumped back onto his feet.

Only to suddenly have Senji leap up, plant his hands on Marcus' thick shoulders and launch himself overtop of the startled big man with a cheeky "Scuse me there Sensei!"

He set his jaw as he watched his two protogés' approach the exit, his pride in his students warring with his competative nature as he ran along the ground, running along half rotten wooden pallets and vaulting over broken down forklifts with ease.

Feeling bold from passing Marcus, a man he greatly admired, Senji would square himself up to kick the exit door in before Rina would have a chance to reach it.
On the other side of the door would bea showroom of sorts with racks set up around the foyer laden with slashed, torn and rotting strips of fabric and leathers for clothes and furniture. In the right hand corner would be a receptionists desk with windows and the door back outside to the left.

Ahead was nothing but walls of soft patterned bundles of fabric, a Stairwell leading upwards at the corner. Behind the Desk were three doors as well.

The building was still the boundry and the gang werent even close to the final run. Now was the time for Rina and Senji to try and find the right pass to continue along.

[Rina Vade]

OOC - No problema, chico^^

Rina could sense Marcus behind her, but wasn't at all to worried. Senji was bound to do something that gave her an advantage. Just as she thought this, he did. "Scuse me Sensei!" she heard her silver-haired freind exlaim. She grinned as she pictured Marcus's startled expression.

As Senji kicked in the door ahead of them, Rina bolted forward, shooting him a challenging smirk. He followed after her. Looking around at the room full of hanging fabrics and leather, Rina got an idea. "Top this, Senji!" she said, leaping up and catching onto a crimson piece of fabric, using her momentum to twist herself as high as she could go and swing to the next one.

"There's a reason you're called a monkey!" Senji yelled, half-annoyed and half-amused.

Short blah ><

[Marcus Prasad]

Standing alittle ways behind Senji, Marcus would watch the rather interesting spectacle Rina was putting on around the room. Suddenly a rather dastardly idea struck him. Once so mischevious and coniving that it put a huge wicked smile on his face. Quietly he slipped away and began sneaking towards the only other door in the room, nearly whooped in triumph when he found that it was unlocked and slipped through without a sound.

Once close, the door would make a rather distinct Click that Rina and Senji could easily hear. In fact.....

"Uuuuuh, Rina? Did you hear that?"
Startled, it took a moment or two before he made his way towards the door Marcus had just left from and tried the handle, Cursing loudly when the door wouldn't budge.

"Well, it's Either upstairs or we waste time trying to break the door down."
He said sheepishly. Wondering if this was Karma paddling him in the butt for teasing Marcus earlier.
