@ZAVAZggg With nothing to block with, Jesse shot the hand holding the saber, with the same abrupt speed he shot Teo’s leg with.

Teo barely had time to react as the bullet whizzed past his hand, though he did not drop the saber despite this, it being emitted from the ring still firmly fastened around his middle finger. Closing the distance between them, he didn't hesitate for a moment in bringing the searing beam down upon the barrel of Jesse's gun, slicing it clean off near the bullet chamber itself.

@Kenshi
A fighter, huh? Solofighter thought as she watched him fight another creature(the cat) off. She had nothing to say on the matter though, but she put two thumbs up to indicate how impressed she was.

@ZAVAZggg His adoptive father’s gun...this twat just sliced it in two.

“You’re lucky dead men can’t answer questions, or your brains would be on the ground by now.” He pulled a glock that he pulled off a dead officer before and shot Teo’s other leg and his foot.

@Letmehaveone2
Izo bows to her as if he understood what she was saying, and then suddenly.
He ran up her leg, and along her back, and sat on her shoulder "Jip".

Teo felt himself beginning to slow, though he grit his teeth as he continued to work through the pain, moving to slice the Glock out of his opponent's hand as well. His movement was considerably slower than before, however, so it was anyone's guess as to whether this ploy would actually work or not.

@ZAVAZggg “Not this time.” Jesse said as he moved his glock away from the schwartz saber.

He was impressed by Teo’s persistence in spite of how many gunshots he had taken. Regardless Jesse was going to get some answers. He shot Teo in both arms, unsure if it would disarm Teo considering there were three gunshots in Teo’s legs and he was still standing.

It didn't, in fact, disarm him. The ring was still very much attached to his finger, though it did cause him to miss his swing by quite a large margin. Grunting, he deactivated the ring, shooting Jesse a look that was more annoyed than anything else.

"Alright!"

He sounded far too calm for someone who'd just been shot multiple times, and was most likely suffering from blood loss both within and without.

"I've reached my being shot quota for today I think..."

Teo struggled to reach into his coat, the fall of his hand revealing...

A perfectly sealed Nutra Grain bar.

"Huh."

He jabbed it shakily in Jesse's direction.

"Wanna bite?"

@ZAVAZggg Jesse stopped attacking and sneered with confusion.

“No, I don’t want a bite of that...whatever that is.” He said with irritation “What the fuck are you? You don’t seem like one of the cultists to me. How can you take so many gunshots.?”

"Never thought I'd see the day..."

Teo shook his head.

"When the Nutra was refused."

Sighing, he carried on.

"As for what I am," he said, pausing to meet Jesse's gaze. "I'm just a man who wants some goddamn quiche."

@ZAVAZggg The expression remained on Jesse’s face.

“What is quiche?” He shouted “And what is peanut butter? Who are these cops and who commands them? How do I get out of this territory? This...Amrika?” Jesse said, having never heard of egg pies or America.

@Kenshi
Solofighter didn't mind him on her shoulder. She introduced herself as well Solofighter to him as she walked along the sidewalk without a word to any passerbys.

@Letmehaveone2
The samurai squirrel hopped off her shoulder grabbed a low lying tree branch, and catapulted himself higher into the tree.
Any one around can hear a swish, swish swish swish, swiiiiiiish, and after a few seconds more another long swish.
Izo dropped from branch to branch, to branch to Solofighter's shoulder again.
In his mouth was a piece of bark, he dropped it in her hand.
On one side was a lightning bolt carved in it and on the other side was a name
carved into it that read, "Izo".

@ZAVAZggg The expression remained on Jesse’s face.

“What is quiche?” He shouted “And what is peanut butter? Who are these cops and who commands them? How do I get out of this territory? This...Amrika?” Jesse said, having never heard of egg pies or America.

"Oh well escaping a country that's about..."

Teo began counting in his head.

"3.797 million miles squared, isn't likely to happen. If this even is America mind you. For all we know this could be somewhere in Europe or some other country, as all we have to go off of is the fact that this is, well, a town. With that out of the way though, let me tell you about quiche-"

And with that he was off, monologuing about the benefits of that oh so flaky pastry.

@ZAVAZggg Given the lack of public education in the apocalypse, Jesse had a limited understanding of the world. It was explained to him at a young age that the world was a giant lake and there were many islands. To his understanding, the world was a shrunk down version of what it really was. He always had too many problems to focus on geography. He wasn’t familiar with America in spite of living on it’s carcass, but knew bits and pieces of other lands, including a place called “Aurup.”

Before he could started asking questions, however, Teo described quiche. It was amazing the inventive things people could do with something so simple as eggs to him. He knew the Nobility had cooks that made elaborate meals, but the best he ever had was a “sand witch.”

“Woah...I only ever fried my eggs.” He was unfamiliar with the other ingredients in the quiche like cheese or crust.

The conversation was interrupted by lasers pointing on them from the tactical assault rifles of a SWAT unit.

“Blood soaked assailant! This is your final warning. Surrender now or we will open fire!” They had a warning for Teo as well “Suspect with the light saber, drop the weapon. You will also be taken in for drug testing.”

Just like he would normally do, Jesse drew his gun quick and shot the heads off three the swat members, when he heard a click. What followed was a hail of gunfire on not only Jesse but Teo as well. Jesse collapsed as the machine gun fire showered the ground all around him. Luckily he was wearing a bulletproof vest and the closest thing to a headshot was a bullet grazing his cheek.

Teo, complying with what law enforcement had said, deactivated the ring. Granted, it didn't seem as though they cared all that much in the end, for they opened fire on him and Jesse regardless. Reaching into his coat once again, he pulled free... a hula hoop? No, not a hula hoop, a personal portal! Raising it on high, he did his best to position it between himself and the gunfire as he hobbled away from the scene, the device sending the bullets off to god knew where.

@ZAVAZggg Jesse could deal with intense pain with little reaction, but the human body reacts to the kind of force delivered by gunshots the same way with everyone. Jesse lay on the ground stunned and a bit dazed. It was still a mystery to Jesse how Teo could withstand gunshots with so little reaction. When his body was no longer seized up, he stood as quick as he could, which was still sluggish.

“Let’s get the fuck out of here!” Jesse said, reloading his gun and using the portal as cover.

"Oh how the turns table!"

Teo made sure to keep the portal as concentrated on the oncoming gunfire as possible, though even he was starting to feel strained.

"Don't think I won't try to take you in after this though! I haven't forgotten what you've done!"

@ZAVAZggg Teo’s comment struck a cord with Jesse. It brought him back to his earlier interaction with Ash.

“Yeah? And what the fuck did I do? Kill some people trying to mug me? Kill these blue men when they shot at the chainsaw man? Fuck these guys!” He insisted with his brow furrowed, shooting some more of them.

"You hacked the muggers apart," he said quietly, tone laced with steel. "There's a certain line where self-defense becomes slaughter, and you crossed it. As for these men, they're doing their jobs. It isn't their fault they've been ordered to shoot to kill."

He paused to readjust the hoop.

"Besides, if you were confronted with two men, one with a chainsaw for an arm and the other drenched in blood, what would you do?"

@ZAVAZggg “Yeah?” Jesse was confused by Teo’s attitude as bullets continued to hail around them. “How do you axe a man to death politely?”

Another five men were headshot from a distance by Jesse.

“A man doing a job to kill you is still trying to kill you. And a man with a chainsaw for an arm as soaked himself in blood many times. Think.” Jesse said, waiting for more gunfire. There seemed to be no more SWAT, however.
