Video! Action! Freeedom!

[orangeoutlaw]

[So Ace got wopped in the mouth by a newspaper crashing through the window. He has to find that news coo so he can tip him because what great service! He gets to be the first one to read it even around the damp sections.

But he also found something that could not be borne.

A Puppy Prison.

Who would do such a horrible thing?

Well whoever would do it, Ace wouldn't tolerate it.

He takes some time to strategize, and then around 1pm, sends this video out to everyone]

Puppies were meant to be free! I won't let anyone hold them hostage under my watch! No matter what they've done!

[and he throws back his head and howls, a few of the dogs howling with him, before the jail break commences.

And after?]


Who: Ace, a swirling yapping, excitable puppylanch of all ages, shapes and sizes, and you!
What: Chaos! Chaos everywhere! Dogs! Frightened Cats! Poop left in unexpected places! Freedom! Your call!
Where: Anywhere but the Everglades
When: July 17th
Warnings: None at the moment
Notes: Feel free to make your own threads about finding a puppy or two or a dozen without Ace necessarily being involved. Ping me if you want him though.

I'm responsible for them. Got a problem with it?

[beforethedarkness]

I do, if it means you were the one who stole them from the shelter.

[ In spite of the words he's smirking a little. Someone's raring for a fight. ]

[orangeoutlaw]

I set them free.

[don't turn that smirk on him unless you want to use it]

[beforethedarkness]

It's another way of saying it.

[ He's falling into a relaxed stance now, readying himself. The guy punched pretty hard... It still has his brain rattled a bit, but it also pisses him off. ]

I'm returning them, like it or not.

[orangeoutlaw]

Hmm.

Suit yourself. I'll just set 'em free again.

[since it's not exactly a wrong compulsion. Misguided maybe. Mostly he figures the kid is raring for a fight and isn't sure yet if he wants to give him one]

[beforethedarkness]

You really think it'd be even close to as easy the second time?

[ ... Damn it. He doesn't want to pick a fight with this guy without a reason. That kind of recklessness is reserved for a certain blond moron. If he does so now, he'll be the bad guy and he'd rather remain off the radar if possible.

He still watches Ace, ready to dart out of reach and drop the dogs off in a safe spot before engaging if necessary. Not one of them were combat trained after all, so having them participate in a fight would just be cruel. ]

[orangeoutlaw]

What are you going to do to stop me? Stand guard? I'd jump right over your head.

[beforethedarkness]

You could try.

[orangeoutlaw]

I thought you'd say that. [he grins and crouches] So what do you have that makes you so strong huh? You've got swagger but you're scrawny. [pokes him in the gut]

[beforethedarkness]

[ Well, he tries to poke him anyway, in an instant Sasuke's out of reach from a simple jump. He's also putting the dogs down - he can get them back later. ]

If what I've heard of this place is true, nothing like you've ever seen.

[ He can't do it for long - he doesn't have the training Lee has, after all... But he can still do it to test the waters. He's going to come in, immediately attempting to sweep Ace's legs out from under him with a swift kick. What Ace might notice is how nearly-inhumanly fast he is in doing so. ]

[orangeoutlaw]

[woah he is fast. Impressive.]

Try me.

[and the kid does. And he's fast but Ace's fire is just a frog's hair faster so he sweeps through his legs but doesn't move him. Probably doesn't even get singed either. Ace gives a low whistle]

That's some Cipher Pol stuff right there.

[someone to look out for in other words.]

1/2

[beforethedarkness]

[ What the--

Was that fire?

This is even weirder than the ghost monster he encountered earlier. ]

2/2

[beforethedarkness]

Seems you're more interesting than I thought. Might even be a challenge.

[ It's weird. He should be more afraid, but after what he's seen, after a literal sand giant nearly killed everyone, he's not. He's done with being frozen in fear, he never wants to do it ever again.

He'll dart back then, his hands forming several strange hand gestures. That's before two more of him appear, one at either side and each drawing a kunai. Apparently, he doesn't have to hold back at all. ]

[[ OoC: Noting that if Ace CAN see through it, the real one is the one on the right. The other two are literal shadows and have no physical substance whatsoever. ]]

[orangeoutlaw]

......Are those clones....?

[is he really seeing that?]

[he's heard of the art of cloning before. But....there are also hand gestures....and kunai...]

[orangeoutlaw]

Are you a ninja?

[beforethedarkness]

What about it?

[ Sorry Ace, not going to let you respond any further. The three immediately make to surround Ace, one coming at him after another to try and make a decisive blow.

He has to be faster if he wants to actually land a hit, apparently. How far can he push himself before he has to resort to other tactics though? It's not like he wants to kill the guy. ]

[orangeoutlaw]

[no. No sorry. Sorry. He is sorry. He'll respect you and everything later. Right now he's fending off attacks or letting them hit and burst fire because because...

Ace is hyped

Oh

His

Gosh

A BABY NINJA!

HOW COOL IS THAT?!

AND HE'S BEING ATTACKED BY ... BY WHAT? SHADOW CLONE OR SOMETHING?

SO. COOL]

Oh man! This is so great! Say nin nin! Sayy iiiit!

1/2

[beforethedarkness]

[ Okay this guy is grinning and it's unnerving. The real one has to back off again, the clones fading to nothing while he falls into a more defensive stance.

...

Nin nin? ]

2/2

[beforethedarkness]

[ WOW THIS GUY PISSES HIM OFF ]

Like hell!

[ Okay now he really just wants to punch Ace in the face so he's going to try that now. Who cares if he's still holding the kunai, not like the blade will even hit at that angle. ]

[orangeoutlaw]

Aww come on! [catches the fist with his face] You've got to! You're a ninja right?

[pats about and holds up a little fluffy chow chow]

I'll give you a puppy!

[the puppy yips cutely and wags its tail, hung lolling out]

[beforethedarkness]

[ ...

This is stupid.

His eye twitches before he moodily grabs the offered puppy and makes to get several others. Fine, whatever, he'll go back to what he was doing.

Stupid weird fire guy. ]

[orangeoutlaw]

[follows along]

Sorry, man. I get it. You're training. It's cute. I like it.

[but baby ninja!]

I'll fight you for real later.

[beforethedarkness]

[ Apparently Ace is getting the silent treatment, because he shoots him a glare but says nothing on it. ]

[orangeoutlaw]

[well his own giddiness doesn't last long. Man why is a thing in real life different from a thing you imagined. Also there's something about his silent broodiness that really gets under Ace's skin. It reminds him of something annoying]

What is your deal anyway, kid. The sun is bright and you're holding puppies. Lighten up a little.

[attempts to flick the back of his head]

[beforethedarkness]

[ He rolls his eyes, not even bothering to answer that. He's going to glare at Ace again for the flick though, it's not appreciated. ]
