Reese - Walk Like An Egyptian

Description: Stanley Bridge. Egypt. A chance run in between Reese and Faolan, has the Irishman thinking the Aussie is bloody insane, and the archaeologist wanting the bata from the Ikari. Even though she winds up WINNING the impromptu "Battle of the Bata", the bata seems to float away, still attached to the Ikari warrior.



Checking in with a dig site is a rather large task, especially when camera crews are following her. One of the directors has been trying to get Reese to open up about the other night at the nightclub, but she's been //fairly// tight-lipped about it, if only because she's not had the chance to speak with Marius since then -- and it's probably for the better.

God only knows what Reese //would// say if given the chance, because she //is// still a tad upset at that whole situation.

It's a little after midnight, the bridge is fairly quiet, the camera crew is (she hopes at least) tucked safely away in bed at the hotel, and she can meet up with a less-than-reputable contact. Hanging out atop the wall, she waits for the man to arrive. He //should//, with any luck, have a few more pieces for her to fence.

//Or keep//.

The thought springs to her mind, and she tries to blink it away.

Really, why //isn't// she keeping them? She could profit a great deal more if she tries to sell them off privately, and Marius would //never// catch on to what she's up to...

A certain Ikari has been doing his best to downplay that whole incident as well. Faolan is no stranger to TV time given his participation in SNF and now the NDP league. What he doesn't want to be seen doing is arguing with some pipsqueak who thinks he is hot shit and then getting in a fight. He got lucky none of his fellow mercs saw it and told Heidern about the incident. Things certainly wouldn't have gone well if that had happened. Instead he is still free to do what he wants on his off time.

This is one of those cases. The Irishman and a few others of the Ikari were sent to Egypt for a mission. A short one that ended without incident. Something that is often found as disappointing to the likes of Fao and his cohorts. Even so they are given a few days leave before they have to return to base. Some went out drinking. Some went out to find ladies of the night. Faolan on the otherhand is actually behaving. It is a rare thing, but he is just enjoying the cool night air as he walks along the bridge while idly humming to himself.

Hearing the humming snaps Reese right out of those thoughts, which is likely a good thing. On alert, she peers over the edge that she's perched upon and spies, not her contact, but the Irishman.

He's going to scare the client off.

Latching the whip onto the light fixture below her feet, she gives it a tug to ensure it's secured. Then she swings herself down and lands //behind// Faolan. Flicking her wrist, she draws the whip down toward her and then //stares// at the Ikari.

"Fancy meeting you all the way out here, mate."

It always ends up being one of those cases of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Faolan has no idea of Reese's side job or the fact she is meeting someone out here. Hell, he didn't even know she was in the same country as him at the moment. Leave it to a woman to jump to such conclusions and the Irishman will probably have to pay for it. "Ehn?"

He turns about when he hears the familiar voice and he looks back over his shoulder and sort of stares back. His is more a look of confusion than anything at the moment. "What the heck? Are you stalking me or something?" he asks and he then takes a look around. That little pipsqueak 'boss' of hers better not be around here is all he can say.

He turns around to face her and even if she has her hand on her whip he seems rather relaxed and not ready for any sort of fight. Then again he does have his left hand gripped on his bata as per usual, but it is a rare occasion to see him without the thing. People sometimes wonder if the damn thing is just glued to his hands at times.

"Why on earth would //I// be stalking //you//?" Reese rolls her eyes at him as she coils the whip up and latches it to her belt. "Besides, I'd be a bloody poor stalker if I was letting you know I was here, yeah?" Shaking her head she tips her hat at him.

Then she spots the bata, and her hand swings back to the whip. The Aussie doesn't pry it out of its resting place, but she //is// on alert.

That bata would look better in her hands, she's certain of it. She could probably utilize the energy it possesses and...

Giving her head another shake, she rests her free hand upon the ruby and tucks it in under her shirt. Then, with eyes still on the bata, she says, "I should apologize for the nightclub."

He shakes his head a bit and even when she goes back for the whip he really makes no attempt to look like he is ready for a fight. He is in too laid back of a mood right now and there is no reason to slap the woman around. She did pay for his tab the other night after the incident with Marius afterall. And while she can be grating on the nerves Faolan finds himself getting along with Reese a bit better overall after so many encounters at this point. "Ehn, you apologized enough that night. I told you don't worry about it."

He does tilts his head a bit as he notices her fussing around with something then decides to dismiss it. "So why are you out this way anyways? Sightseeing? Or is that little annoyance that is supposed to be your boss out doing a job here?" he asks. He rather hopes it isn't the latter mostly because he doesn't really want to run into that guy again for a very long time if he can help it. Honestly if he sees Marius again at any point it will be all too soon.

"Who?" That's in regards to the little annoyance-slash-boss comment. Reese really isn't focused on that right now, her brain is racing, trying to figure out ways to get the bata away from the Irishman. It's not particularly pretty, shiny, or worth a lot of money, but she //wants// it.

"Oh, Marius." Beat. "No, he's not here." At least she very much //hopes// he's not here in Egypt. If he were, he'd likely be //here// trying to steal her contact out from under her. "I was waiting for a friend but it looks like they're running late."

It's not coming out and saying she's got a job out here, but it's close enough. "I was out at a dig site all day, looking for something, so it's the only time we could meet."

The little voice in her head whispers, 'Just go for it. You know you want to. Get the bata away from him.'

There is nothing really fancy about the bata at all. It is a gnarled piece of wood that he seems to keep well sanded and that is about it. Of course could she control it like he does? Does the bata itself have sort of properties similar to what she thinks her guns have? She would never know unless she took it. That makes things even more tempting to try just because if it does work for her that gives her another weapon to her arsenal.

Faolan smirks some and nods. "Yeah, that one." he says in reply when the name Marius is brought up. He is relieved to hear that the twerp isn't in Egypt at least. That means the night is looking up again since he has no idea just what sort of thoughts are going through Reese's mind at the moment. "Well sounds like fun I guess. I got another day or two here before it is back to base. Maybe I will run into you again or something before I leave." he comments and he turns to go away as he waves with his free hand. "Good luck meeting yer friend."

'You're just going to let him walk away? Do you know what properties that bata could possess? Do you know what you could do with it in your possession?'

Reese //stares// at Faolan as he goes to leave. She actually lets him get a few feet away before the whip is unlatched and in her hand without her even really thinking about doing it. As though working mindlessly, she's snapping it toward him with a quick flick of the wrist. Several sharp lashes taken to bring him down to the ground to //attempt// to get him away from the bata.

"Sorry, mate. Can't let you go that easily."

That whole thing about the night looking up? It seems like Faolan was a fool to think of such things. If anyone told him Irish folk are lucky he would probably just headbutt them in the face because lately he just seems to have one of the worse runs of luck that he can ever imagine. Randomly being jumped by Reese was not something he was actually expecting. She doesn't seem the type to do it unless money is involved so that is probably why he is confused as hell when the strike happens.

He turns about and before he can even ask what she means he finds himself getting assaulted by the whip and he staggers back several steps and almost falls over. The bata is only gripped tighter instead of dropped. "What the hell is yer problem?" he says and he frowns as he aims his bata towards the woman and releases a small burst of energy right towards her to give her a nice shock. Hopefully one that will knock some sense into her. "I didn't do anything."

The gun on her left hip is twirled quickly out of the holster, and she fires off a double shot of chi. As the blasts come closer to Faolan's burst of energy, they become sharply pointed like they're trying to burst right through it and get to him.

Once that's taken care of, Reese lifts her shoulders in a small shrug. "I want the bata," she explains. Sure, there are likely easier ways of going about obtaining it. Asking him to take a look at it, for one. Buying him drinks until he's so sotted he falls off the bar stool for another.

But those take time. Effort. And this just seemed like the most lucrative way of obtaining it.

He curses a bit under his breath when she manages to shoot through his own blast of energy and it slams into him and knocks him slightly off balance again. He manages to keep on his feet still and he grips his bata with both hands and takes on his usual defensive stance. "My bata?" he asks and he looks down then back to her. She has never seemed interested in the stick before other than the fact she probably didn't want to get touched by it. To randomly attack him and seems intent on taking the bata from him? The confusion is probably what is leaving him so open to strikes as well.

He furrows his brow and he takes a deep breath. He needs to stay calm and collected. He needs to also figure out just what the hell is wrong with Reese in this case. "You want it, eh? Too bad. Unless you want to kill me you aren't taking it." He certainly looks serious now. If she wants a fight she is going to damn well get one.

COMBATSYS: Faolan gains composure.

Reese [E]        0/-------/------=|==-----\-------\0           Faolan


That's right. Reese has //never// been interested in the bata before. There's a part of her that's //still// not really interested in it. Except for that absolute nagging in the back of her head that //she// could profit from it. Profit from having it, from studying it -- not necessarily from selling it. Though she //could// hold it for ransom... now there's a thought.

"If that's what I need to do..."

Now //that// really doesn't sound like the Aussie. She's got her own set of skewed morals, sure, but she's generally apologetic when she //seriously// hurts someone (or leaves them stranded in a sandstorm), isn't she?

While the Irishman busies himself with catching his breath, she twirls the gun around in her hand and slides it back into the holster. As she does, she grips the butt of the weapon, building the energy up around her. It starts as silvery-blue energy running along her body flowing down into the gun.

COMBATSYS: Reese gathers her will.

Reese [E]        0/-------/--=====|==-----\-------\0           Faolan


Is she serious? He is starting to really wondering if Reese has some sort of twin she didn't tell him about. Then again the way the woman is using the whip makes him think otherwise. He has to wonder if this would somehow make more sense to him if he had a few drinks in him or the like. His mind is still being thrown for a loop and he is really unsure what to do about this sort of thing. It isn't like they are fully in a private location either. There are other people around in the distance. Who knows if anyone has noticed the fight break out just yet.

"That is how it is, huh?" he tchs and then he dashes forward right towards Reese. "Dunno what got into you, but you should know better than to pick a fight with me." he grunts and he jabs his bata forward after releasing one end of it to drive it into the stomach of Reese. A familiar release of energy with a shock will be felt if he hits.

//Is// she serious? Reese //looks// serious. Extremely serious. Like she //really// wants that bata. It //would// look better in her hand, wouldn't it? It would work better for her. The Aussie watches him come in with the bata thrusting toward her, and rather than allow it to hit her stomach, she swings the whip hand in front, allowing it to absorb the brunt of the hit, and the shock.

Giving her arm a slight shake to make the tingling go away, she stares at him. Then she rushes toward him with the whip handle jutting outward toward his stomach in return. A sharp thrust, and then she's hopping back out of the way, trying to keep at least an arm's reach between them.

Of all things one would think Reese would learn that striking Faolan in such a manner that she does usually isn't that effective. Even so she strikes and all that she gets out of Faolan is a bit of a grunt as he continues to press forward. If she is looking to get some distance to more effectively use her guns it looks like he isn't going to allow her to do so. Instead he is keeping it nice and close. She might be more prone to mess up if he gives her less time to react to his strikes.

"You still wanting to do this, huh? I thought you a bit weird, but now I am really questioning what sort of priorities you got." he mutters while giving a quick swing with the bata aimed to hit Reese up against the side of her head. It isn't something he normally does when fighting a woman, but she just teased at possibly wanting to kill him so any sort of manners have been thrown out the window right now.

Whapped upside the head with the bata, Reese actually staggers to the side. The force of the blow causes the swirling red ruby pendant to pop out from beneath her blouse and dangle away from her body.

What //is// she doing? Aren't things between her and the Irishman alright now?

Reaching up to tuck the pendant away, she shakes her head. 'You're trying to get the bata. Don't you want the bata? To test it? To see if you can wield it as well as he can?'

Right. That's what she's doing.

"I'm //not// weird," Reese replies, right before she starts to seemingly glow and sparkle in a nice shade of ruby as she reaches out slam her fist into his stomach and subsequently flip him upside down and onto his head.

"Crikey! What the hell?"

Reese [E]        1/-----==/=======|======-\-------\0           Faolan


Truth be told he isn't exactly paying attention to the pendant. He would never really draw a connection with it and the actions of the woman either. Not when he is busy trying to knock some sense into her at least. Even more so what he isn't expecting is the fact when she hits him it is with a bit of force that he isn't used to. She usually doesn't have much luck in taking Faolan off his feet, but here he is finding himself being flipped about and landing on his shoulders and the back of his head with a grunt.

"Whatever. Make up yer mind. You pay for my tab one night now you want to kill and rob me. If that isn't weird then I don't know what is." He gives a kick with one of his legs to sort of try and knock her away so he can have some room to get back up to his feet. "If you are going to be this way alot just stay the hell away." Now if he can figure out what she just did that made that damn hit so painful.

Knocked back several steps, Reese hits the edge of the bridge. She grips the side to ensure she's not falling over. "I don't //want// to kill you. I just want the bata." At least the Aussie doesn't //think// she wants to kill Faolan. What would be the point, other than pissing off Hicks?

Keeping a good grip on the edge of the bridge, she uses it as a leveraging point. Flipping partially up onto it, she swings herself back toward him with a double-footed kick to his midsection as she attempts to bring him down again.

He manages to nail her with the kick and that gives Faolan some precious time to start recovering and get to his feet before she starts to come in again. "Well like I said you gotta kill me to take it." Damned if he is giving up a family heirloom so easily. If Reese has thought she has seen Faolan pissed off before she is in for a surprise. He was angry at Marius for insulting the Ikari, but this is beyond what he was like even then.

He seems prepared when she comes forward and he shifts his weight when she kicks, getting clipped some by it but positioning himself to strike. Reese will feel an end of the bata being drivin into her side and he uses his momentum to lift her upwards a bit before she is hit with a powerful blast of that black energy to knock her away. "Now get out of here and let me be. You are ruining my night!"

"There are other ways to get what I want," Reese points out. //Right// before she's being attacked with the bata she so oddly desires, and being blasted away. Crashing against the side of the bridge again, the Aussie curses and slams her hand down against the stonework.

But it doesn't seem to stop her for long, even though she //has// got one had against her ribs, feeling to see if anything's broken.

Cracking the whip once, she lashes it out toward the Irishman, trying to latch it about his throat briefly and pull him in. A bit of a choke-hold before she yanks the whip to the side, effectively trying to paddleball him.

"Ain't trying to. If you'd just be //so// kind and give me the bata, you can be on your merry way!"

Reese [E]        0/-------/-======|=======\=------\1           Faolan


That sort of request certainly isn't going to work. If Reese takes a moment to think about it she hasn't even seen the Irishman put the damn thing down at any point. If he won't put it down for booze what are the chances he will let go of it for some woman that decided to randomly attack him for it? She does get him around the neck and after some dragging about he finally fights himself free. He is not looking happy at all and the request gets a simple answer. "Balls to that."

He takes back up his defensive stance even if it hasn't been helping him too much right now. He is letting his frustration get the better of him and he damn well knows it. Even so he can't find himself being able to calm down. The black chi that swirls around the bata starts to climb up his arms as he grits his teeth and furrows his brow. "All right. Time to end this."

COMBATSYS: Faolan gathers his will.

Reese [E]        0/-------/-======|=======\=====--\1           Faolan


This really isn't boding well for Reese. It's true, she's never seen the Irishman put the bata down, not even when he's drinking. Which makes her wonder briefly if he cuddles it as he falls asleep, and just what //does// he do with it when he's going to the bathroom. Even as those odd thoughts are swirling through her mind, that little devil on her shoulder is telling her that she //needs// the bata. Not just //wants// it now, but //needs// it.

The black swirling energy doesn't keep her from coming at him again, though it does keep her from getting //too// close. Instead of launching at him with a full on assault attack, she twists toward him with her foot snapping up toward his jaw as she tries to knock him back against the edge of the bridge and break his concentration.

Some things are best left unknown and the extent of what Faolan does with the bata is best left up in the air. Fragile minds might be broken over those sort of revelations if he ends up being some sort of weirdo. Of course Reese has more important things to worry about than what the Irishman and his bata do together. He doesn't budge from his position when she comes in to strike and he actually steps forward when she aims to drive her heel into his jaw.

The foot meets face firmly, but the forward momentum of Faolan isn't stopped as he releases the bata with one hand to jab it into her and throw her off balance. If he gets lucky he unleashes a flurry of blows aimed all over her body. There is nothing left spared in this case as he looks to batter and bruise whatever he can hit and it all ends with one final thrust as he looks to unleash the large amount of energy he stored in the bata with another powerful blast. "Now get out of here!"

Reese //knows// that something is going to be coming back toward her when he steps //into// her attack. She's well on the alert for anything that he's planning to do. Though she //really// wants to grab for the bata as it's jabbed toward her, she drops back quickly and rolls to the side and out of his reach. Better that she get //away// from him, than have a furious flurried assault battering her body.

"Give me the bata and I'll go."

Sweeping the whip along the stones until she makes an overhand crack with it, she barrels toward him, side-stepping at the last moment with a hefty hook punch. Then she starts to twist out of the way to avoid that bata again, until she can pry it from his unconscious hands.

Now it seems like she is intentionally trying to get him even more riled up. Why don't people just do what they are supposed to and take a beating when they deserve it? Part of him sees why her and Marius might have once been an item. They really do good at getting on a person's nerves when they want to. "Fuck off." he growls and then takes the punch right to the face that sends him staggering back. The damndest thing of it all is he is still not down and out from it all.

He recovers rather quickly and he comes right back at her with a punch of his own, but it ends up being a feint as he looks to instead just jab her right in the ribs with the bata she so desires. Hey, if she wants it so bad he will just stick it to her. On the bright side at least this time she isn't in for a shocking experience.

The Aussie is starting to feel the fight now. He's doing a good job of wearing her down, and despite her determination it seems that even though she's keeping a close eye on him, he's managing to hit her in the ribs with the bata.

The bata she wants.

No.

The bata she //needs// to pry from his hands at this point.

"Quit hitting me in the ribs." Her voice //seems// to be calm, but the look in her eyes denotes that she's //anything// but.

When she comes at him again this time, she glares. "It's really rude to tell a sheila to fuck off." To accentuate this point, she slams her fist at his cheek as hard as she can.

Reese [E]        1/---====/=======|-------\-------\0           Faolan


No hitting in the ribs? Well Faolan supposes he can oblige on that request. It is just not in the way that Reese would have liked. She may have lucked out that first time in avoiding the assault from Faolan, but he may have just goaded her into a trap so he can make sure she doesn't avoid it this time. She slams her fist right into his face, but all Faolan does is grin. "Gotcha." he comments and she is soon in a world of pain. The beating ensues and soon she finds herself being flung away with the release of energy.

"Talk about rude? Wanting to steal a man's personal property is rude. You barked up the wrong fuckin' tree and now you are gonna pay." he growls. He must be pissed because as often as he gets riled up to get in a cursing fit like he is now is actually a rarity.

Flung away like //that//, she actually rolls along the stones of the bridge and into a pedestrian. It's not a good thing when a flailing body takes someone down, and the poor pedestrian nearly gets squashed by Reese as she finally stops moving. There's not even a 'sorry' as she kips back up to her feet and gives her body a shake, trying to wake it the hell back up.

"//Borrow//," Reese points out. "I might give it back. I just want to examine it."

Beat.

"Did you just insinuate that I'm a bloody //dingo//?"

Both guns are whisked out in perfect unison. The Aussie feels the weight of them in her hands and her mind balks. If someone tried to steal //these// from her, she'd bloody well kill them. Is it really any different for Faolan and his bata that he may or may not take to bed with him?

'But you //want// the bata. What if it provides you with more energy than the guns? Can you risk not trying to grab it?'

Without thinking about it, she lifts both guns, firing off a barrage of super-charged energy-bullets. Each one angling for some minute area of Faolan's torso. Then just before they hit, they converge into a gigantic super bullet that blasts toward him and explodes once it impacts.

"You might be worse than that!" he retorts and even if she was going to 'borrow' the damn thing there are better ways going about it instead of attacking the man. You don't just pick a fight with a mercenary and expect him to go 'Oh, you just wanted to borrow. Here you go'. Hell no, the guy is going to give anyone that does that a proper beating. Faolan is also tired and beat up, but he just won't let himself stay down. Even as he sees her start to fire the guns towards him he starts forward.

He just doesn't have the energy in him to fight through it to get to her. In fact the blast hits him hard enough that it knocks him away and over the edge of the bridge. "Oh fuck me!" is all that can be heard as he falls over and a few moments later there is a splash. First it was buried in the sand and now it seems like he has been buried at sea at least for now. Reese just better hope she is long gone by the time the Ikari drags himself out of the water and comes back.

There is a //moment// where Reese is concerned. She actually runs to the side of the bridge and considers jumping over to attempt to save him. But it's //only// a moment. That devil on her shoulder is telling her that she'll have to try for the bata another day. Why put herself in danger to save a guy that just tried to break her ribs and screw her face up?

Pfft. As if she's going to save him when she thinks about it like that.

Even so, in the back of her mind, there's the thought that she should buy him a drink.

'Only if it's in preparation of stealing the bata again'

What the hell is she thinking?

COMBATSYS: Reese has ended the fight here.
