The City Of Astan

Louis

I follow her out and lose my smile when she slams into a guy and tumbles to the ground with him. Swearing, I help her up and then turn to the guy, "You both okay?"

Mercury

I'm blissfully unaware as an invisible force knocks me to the floor. I raise my head to see a young woman. Also on the ground, holding a tazer.

"You both okay?" says the young man who followed her.

I put my hat one, and stand up, dusting myself off.

"Oh I'm shiny, the young lady must not has been watching. And neither was I, So the fault is mutual." I help up the young lady.

Sam

I sigh and stand, shaking my head but keeping the tazer, "I'm keeping this."

I look at the man, "Sorry. Wasn't looking."

I lean against the wall and try to actually figure out the tazer, not wanting to electricute myself like I did the last time.

Spoiler

I can't remember if I gave this guy a last name before...so I am now. If I'm wrong, whatever.

Louis

I nod and glance at Sam to make sure she's okay. Seeing as she's playing with the tazer, I think she is. Sighing, I glance at the guy and nod politely, "Um, Louis Hamil. Sorry about everything."

Mercury

The girl leans up on the wall examining her tazer intently, the boy turns to me and aims to shake my hand.

"Um, Louis Hamil. Sorry about everything." He glances at me and shakes my hand.

"Lois, that's a good name. I used to know a fellow named Louis, wonderful fellow. Got electrocuted. Oh wait, I did that. Nevermind." I finish, still shaking his hand.

"Okay, sir." He says meekly.

"No, My name isn't sir, my name's Mercury. Call me Mercury." I say, shaking his hand furiously.

"Well okay, Mercury." He says.

So who's your friend Louis?" I say.

Sam

I watch them, chuckling, "Done with you're bromance yet?" I joke, finding the trigger on the tazer. I swallow and don't pull it, looking it onto my belt instead while crossing my arms.

Louis

I flash a smile at Sam, shaking my head, "This is Sam, my girlfriend. And it's not a bromance, Sam..."

Mercury

"Bromance? I don't think so, he certainly has those type of qualities that may be construed as handsome or desirable. But he's not my type, I'm into the ladies." I say.

"You seem to have a wonderful personality." The girl named Sam remarks, I smile.

"You would think more women would see that!" I say. The boy Louis sighs.

Sam

Did I seriously just say that?

Shaking my head at myself, I sigh before crossing my arms again, "What you first said..." I look at him, "Was very...creepy. By the way. And, I like you're hair."

He smiles and I shake my head again, studying the tazer at my hip again.

Louis

I just stand there, not quite sure what to do, and watch the two.

Mercury

She shakes her head and says that she likes my hair. I tip my hat,

"Why Thank You, Yours is certainly pretty as well. I prefer to wear this hat though, it's my most favoritest hat." I say.

Sam

Favoritist?

Not sure if that's even a word, I nod and take Louis's handcuffs as well, playing around with them, "Awesome."

Mercury

Well she obviously doesn't give two sh*ts about what I'm saying

I turn to the young man Louis,

"So how long have you been in Astan? It's a beautiful city." I ask

Mercury

Suddenly I realize that this conversation is going no where. So I decided to take action.

"Well I've had my fun!" I laugh hysterically, shock Louis in the stomach and knock him out.

"What the?" Sam yells, and grabs for the Tazer. She shoots it at me, I grab the prongs, and re'rout the electricity right at her. Knocking her out too.

I look around, there's like one person in the hallway; he looks pretty shady.

"I knocked them out! Take there money!" I say, laughing hysterically. And walking away, through the city and back on my way to Aradia.

*GONE!*

Louis

I come to, a tingling sensation burning in my stomach, and groan. Taking my head in my hands, I sit up and swallow at the pain both my wounds are giving me again.

"Sam?" I call, remembering her being with me, "You there?"
