[b]At the edge of the Park.[/b] "Eh? What's wrong with you, girly-man? Cat got yer tongue? Well then, how'bout I loosen it up for ya?" The tall, muscular and very annoyed man roared at Nigel, who had yet to do anything but stand around and look utterly nonchalant about the eholw 'getting socked'-deal. With a remarkably quick motion, unbefitting a man of his size, the giant grabbed hold of Nigel's collar and raised the long-haired delivery boy well above the ground, causing the young man's feet to dangle helplessly in the air. With an expression which was a mix between a smirk and a scowl, the tanned aggressor spoke again. "Any last words, shit-stain?" ------ [b]Over by the scene.[/b] "Eh? Wha's this? You gonna get in our way, four-eyes? Fine, I'll teach you what happens when you get in the way of u-[b]AUCXFLMTPT!?[/b]" "[b]ANIKI!![/b]" The rest of the punks cried out in surprise as their leader's face was temporarily squashed by the arrival of an unlikely projectile. Sprawled on thje ground in a degrading, but humorous, fashion, the delinquent leader's entire body twitched spasmatically for a bit. He soon managed to regain compsure and stand up again though, albeit his precious slick shades had been bent and broken out of shape - and he had he looked much flatter across the face now. He and his ggoons peered about before spotting the girl with the headphones, who was standing in the perfect direction from whence the ball had come soaring. Enraged by the prospect of not only having been beaned in the face, but by a girl no less, the punks were in an outrage now. "You bitch! Da hell do you think you're messin' with, huh!?" Their leader snarled angrily. "That's right! We're gonna teach you a lesson now, missy!" Another punk called out, backing his dishonored and embarrassed bro up. Of course, before they could advance any further or make good on their threats, [i]another[/i] woman appeared. This one a white-haired young lass, who proceeded to spout something very religious-sonunding out. Her emotionless voice and emotionless face only caused the group of delinquents to get even more riled up. "What is this? Bitch-behavior Saturday!? Enough! Boys, let's get'em and show'em what happens when they mess with us!" "[b]OHHHH!![/b]" The gang roared in unison. ANd with that, the group of a little more than a dozen or so high school delinquents chjarged at Mayumi, Reika and Suichiro - as they were the closest and the most immediate aggrevation to the group. "[i]You idiots! What're you doing down there?[/i]" Mayumi, Nigel and Suichi all got a very angry voice ringing in their ear-piece. It was Commander Kasumi, and she didn't sound pleased. "[i]You were supposed to find and confirm the Spirit's presence, not get into fist-fights![ I'm docking all of your pay for today!/i]" ----- [b]Closer to the stage still:[/b] The middle-aged, beer-gut man looked with a face red as a tomato - from anger - at the two new arrivals. He bared his teeth like he was a wolf ready to lash out and bite them. "And just who the hell are you!? Mako!" He turned to the girl in the coat. "Are these bastards your friends or something!?" "N-no, uncle! I-I've never seen them before!" The young girl stuttered. She also proceeded to pull away from the girl who was trying to touch her, apparently not wanting physical contact or to show her apparent uncle that she had no connection to these two girls who had shown up out of nowhere and started meddling in their family affairs. "Listen here, girlies." The man said sourly, folding his arms and glaring daggers at them. "I dunno who you are, and I dun care. You don't poke your nose into other peoples' business!" He was very upset still, turning to his supposed niece. "This has been a disaster, Mako! This was the last time I let you convince me to take you outside to one of these things!" "B-But, Uncle..." "No buts! Hells bells, you've got that condition and have to wear that stupid coat, just cause you can't handle the sunlight. Then we get here and they stop the concert early, and then you get knocked to the ground by the people leaving. Jeez!" He didn't sounbd as much angry as he sounded stern now though... Perhaps this uncle hadn't been actually yelling in anger, but out of concern and worry... And the girl...? She appeared to be a regular person, with some kind of skin-condition... Albino perhaps?
