Action action all action [OPEN]

Who: Bartolomeo and YOU
What: Bartolomeo has decided to rebuild his East Blue criminal empire and is looking for a few good men, women, fishmen, pokemon, etc. And by good he means bad because good men will stop him. At least, they can try.
Where: primarily Genessia and Fayren
When: July 20-28 pick a day any day
Warnings: Bartolomeo is vulgar and violent and even if he doesn't do anything he'll certainly talk about it.

[For a couple of days Bartolomeo roamed around checking out each of the cities through the archways, and he learned two important things rather quickly. One, he needed to get Namur back for telling him to go to Everglade. Two, it was clear that he could do quite well for himself by revisiting his former occupation. Before he became a pirate. It's only been two years, he's still got the knack. There did seem to be enough petty thugs and hoodlums running around that really could benefit from a boss, but the trouble was getting them to sit still and listen to a stranger who didn't necessarily know all the ins and outs of their world yet. Not that it would stop Barty from attempting to recruit, but he had to go about this some other, better way.

In Genessia he mostly skulks around looking for interesting things. Alleys where delinquents gather. Seedy hotels. Blind spots where police and guardians aren't paying attention. Or are they? Despite his 7 feet of flamboyant appearance, Bartolomeo doesn't necessarily appear to be up to anything suspicious, but once in a while he'll do something obnoxious like press his nose up against a restaurant window and make faces at the people trying to eat, smear a booger on a lamppost, or casually take an unattended purse and rifle through it.

Okay, maybe that last one is more than a little suspicious, even though he doesn't seem bothered by the woman beating on his arms to get him to let go and give it back.

What? I'm just lookin' for a hankie. Ooh, the money here is super-pretty, look at all of that...

[Meanwhile, in Fayren, there is the sea. Ooh, Barty could get to like it here. It's a little less sophisticated than even Loguetown or Dressrosa, but not by much. It feels a little more like home, and he finds the small-fry criminals a lot more to his liking. Crueler, quicker to act, less likely to whine about it. Here, he's less wary of law enforcement and has a good time approaching anyone who looks like they'd provide him with a good time.]

Oi, you. Yeah, you. What would you think of runnin' with a guy like me for a bit, huh? I'm sure the money's gotta be good if we'd just stick together. What do you think?

[In both places, he can be approached for confrontations or negotiations. Should he be stopped before he offends again, or is it more fun to egg him on? Should he be taken in before he can actually start stealing and threatening, or does that kind of racket sound right up your alley? Or, hey, is this some new wannabe crime boss horning in on your turf? As far as Bartolomeo is concerned, there are five towns ripe for the picking. He's narrowed it down to two for a headquarters for his gang. Now, to recruit some like-minded ruffians!

It can be any day between July 20 and 28, whenever and wherever.

[Karla's taking a casual stroll down the streets of Genessia City when she witnesses the frankly hideous man rummaging through the woman's purse while she's struggling to get it back from him. As a Deputy Guardian, she just can't let this stand. So she calmly approaches him, one hand gripping the sheath of her sword. She doesn't draw it yet, but she holds on to the sheath to warn the pirate that she has it.]

Excuse me. You would do well to return the lady's purse to her.
swordprincess: (Not amused)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2016-07-25 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[She takes a few steps closer, her expression still firm. She's clearly not afraid of the tanto in his belt.]

I could lend you a handkerchief if you give the purse back. Otherwise, I will make you.
swordprincess: (Ponder)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2016-07-25 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her expression softens a bit as the woman takes her purse and runs. Then Karla approaches carefully, pulling a handkerchief from under her sash and holds it out to him. Her other hand is still on her sheath, though.]

Here you go.
swordprincess: (Ponder)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2016-07-25 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[She twists her mouth, stepping back. No, she doesn't want it back.]

You can keep it. You might want to take that thing out of your nose, however. It might be a little cleaner that way.
swordprincess: (Not amused)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2016-07-25 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
And I suppose all that snot is part of your image as well?

And what do you mean "what's up with me?" I was just helping someone who was in trouble.
swordprincess: (Not amused)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2016-07-25 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You were making trouble. You obviously took that woman's purse without permission, given that she was trying so hard to get it back from you.
swordprincess: (Ponder)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2016-07-25 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[While that's probably true for Karla, she doesn't even see how that can even be considered a joke.]

...What makes you think that was a joke?
swordprincess: (Stern)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2016-07-26 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[And she steps back to regain some distance, because she does not like this hideous man looming over her. It's taking all of her restraint just to keep from knocking him out right now.]

I suppose you are a joke. At least we agree on that much...
swordprincess: (Not amused)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2016-07-26 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Ironically, she's waiting for him to make the first move as well.]

...My name is Karla. Not "shortie." Understand?
swordprincess: (Ponder)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2016-07-26 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
I can't even describe what you look like...

[That's probably the biggest insult she can give, since there are so many possibilities on what that could mean.]
swordprincess: (Stern)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2016-07-26 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Your face is all too memorable, unfortunately.

[Even without the tongue sticking out. After all, who else has a mouth full of teeth like that?]
swordprincess: (Ponder)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2016-07-26 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
I can hardly wait...

[Can you just hear the sarcasm in her voice?]

[Smoker's garage is open, and he's using what little is left of the afternoon daylight to chip away on motorcycle commissions.]

[He's also got some Jazz blasting, and occasionally whistling along.]

[Best worst cop.]

[His ears perk at the skulking punk and he lowers the sunglasses (hey he has a migraine, shut up) to glare over at Barty.]


Still keeping your nose clean?

[HE HAS HIS DOUBTS.]
