“Alright, kiddos. Uncle Hari’s gonna show you the ropes. First thing’s first, though. You introduce yourselves to each other. You’ll be working together after all. We don’t do the whole solo act nonsense in the real world. Not unless the job specifically needs it anyway. Having a partner makes things a lot easier. Now, first- name, skills, weapons. Go.”

Jamie flew out his arms, letting his cape billow behind him. He reached for the snarling hound on his chestplate and took it off and a shield unfolded around it. From its mouth he yanked out a hilt that let out a flexible beam saber. “Jamie Baskerville. Yes, that one. Heir of the most beloved and hated blood in the city, hecaball athlete, nephew to councilmen Cheshire, and soon to be licensed bounty hunter at your service!”

“Jokes on them. This is a rental.” Jamie sighs looking at the car he had been driving. It was keyed and the tires punctured. ‘MURDERER’S SPAWN’ was scrawled badly across the vehicle. Certainly much nicer than normal. The tires were going to be inconvenient though. He was certainly not going to call Auntie about this either. She’d likely be demanding blood which was just going to make everything go in circles.

“Well... I suppose it’s time to walk.” Jamie shrugged and marched down the street. Solis Heights didn’t have a lot of public transit. That was for people who couldn’t afford cars. Then again, up here it was a bit embarrassing to not be able to afford someone to drive for you let alone your own vehicles. He never understood how Onyx and Kimberley never learned how to drive. This was certainly going to be an entertaining walk, though- once he got his things out of the car.

He pushed a button on a keyfab and the defaced car mercifully still operated. It honked twice and the trunk popped open. Inside was a set of armor with a large flowing cape. The front of the chest had a massive hound’s head face for the chestplate that detached to form his shield. The energy saber was hidden in it. They didn’t steal anything. Good for them as he didn’t want anyone to be on the receiving end of the armor’s security. For now he started putting it on, ignoring the eyes as they passed.

“A new high class bar, eh?”

[apricusdays]

“Oh right.... I signed up for that. Well I suppose that party will have to be moved.”

[apricusdays]

“Onyx! What are you doing? The Lavender party arrived hours ago. You were supposed to greet Nava at the door!”

“Oh no...”

“Mrs. Cheshire, it’s not his fault we were all-”

“I am not speaking to you. Be silent. Now, abandon whatever ideas you might have concocted. Come with me and make up for lost time.”

“....We’ll catch up. Say hello to Nava for us.”

“My apologies, Koa. I have located Tyrael’s wayward son. In time for the ball at that.”

“Have no fear, your star player has arrived! My teammates, should I call you that? I’m still not sure- anyway. I hope you are ready to taste the sweet nectar of victory at my side. I have high expectations for you all, we can’t disappoint on Revolution Week, can we?”

[apricusdays]

“Excuse me!?”

“If you are going to be training to fight, you’re going to do it properly. And Calumont is not going to be the one training you.”

“And if I refuse?”

“You won’t.”

“I’ll be coming with you, cousin!”

“I suddenly feel like refusing.”

“Sorry I’m late. You wanted to see me, Mr. Cheshire?”

“The three of you will be enrolled in the training program. You are all already partially trained, after all. For the sake of conflict of interest, I will not be taking any of you, however. We’ll see where the cards lay.”

[apricusdays]

“Well what did he expect?”

“Not everyone can turn infamy into an advantage like you can, cousin. Just let the poor louts suffer the consequences of their actions in peace.”
