The Hunter & The Hunted

[bergkatze]

Who: Berg Katze versus Emerald Sustrai (Open later for Jaune)
Where: Nova City
Why: Who the hell could pass up that much red bills for like a hunt like this?! Katze isn't that crazy! The berserk space alien has landed back in Nova City searching for their green haired quarry.
Warning: Excessive swearing & violence


Oi! Where the fuck is this bitch?!

[Katze let's out a dramatic groan as he slaps his hand to his face. Seated high above upon a lamp post here in the middle of town, the bright mulberry monster lingers in wait. After busting a few chops metaphorically to get some deets on Emerald's whereabouts, Katze narrowed his search to the techno rabble that is Nova City. He hasn't been back in this bitch city in a long while, so his sense of direction is a tad disoriented.

That explains why this charismatic jackass is lost. Some hunter.]

Okay, okay! This shit isn't funny at all! [The grumpy alien whines as he hops down off the lamp post with the ease and grace of a feline. He takes a moment to dust off his signature blue suit. If he's going to break someone's face in, Katze might as well look his best!]

Get it together, Katze-baby! [He smacks his cheeks dramatically as if trying to wake himself up.] We got a damn job to do!

[ She had been following Mercury's suggestions and staying out of sight in some of his old hiding places, but the fact was that Emerald had never been good at following directions. Once he had convinced her that he wasn't going to punish her for not following orders, that meant she could go back to the option of free will, even if it was more hesitant than what it once had been.

It meant that she was willing to go help out, because between Jaune and Mercury, this thing felt like more of a mess for her than anything else and Emerald Sustrai wasn't one to sit on her ass waiting to be rescued. She was a survivor, even if she didn't always make the best choices to do so. Surviving right now meant helping the scrawny doctor from the GSRF out with the cure.

Katze would likely get his first glimpse of the "illustrious" bounty target jumping from one roof to another, heading for the Genessia City gate, and having no idea that the pink-haired freak wanted anything to do with her. ]

[Now tempted to circle back to the shopping district, Katze glances up randomly towards the impossibly tall skyscrapers. Maybe if he gains higher ground, Katze might be able to spot his quarry in the crowds. Nova City is always teeming with life. It's kind of nauseating, really! There's never a dull moment here in this town. It's kind of fun but Katze intensely hates humans.

All these stupid meatbags should be dead. Humans are the most useless pieces of turds anyway---]

Huh?

[The alien brushes aside his long pink bangs once he spots the siholuette of a woman hopping across the rooftops.]

Eh? How fancy! She got some skill--Ehhhh...?!

[Green hair?! Wait a minute! Isn't that the damn girl that "Boss Man" wants? Oh shit!]

FOUND YOU!

[Without so much as a warning, Katze suddenly vanishes from the middle of the street and reappears leaping right towards the woman with his arms outstretched wide. The pink haired menace is careening towards her in break neck speeds.]

[unhappy]

[ She doesn't quite dodge the sudden attack entirely. It's one thing to fight when you know you're being attacked, it's another to suddenly be nearly falling off of a roof top. Emerald manages to twist herself after the impact though, apparently unphased (or at least appearing that way to anyone who doesn't know how aura works) by the attack as she lands on the rooftop with two feet and her left hand on the ground, her right already reaching for the chained sickles attached to her back. Bright red eyes narrow, and it's obvious by the way she holds herself that she's no stranger to survival or a fight. ]

What do you want?

[ She had a feeling she already knew, of course, but better to find out before she goes along with whatever the hell this is. ]

[bergkatze]

Oh crud---

[The technicolor nightmare that jumped her almost goes crashing into the side of the building there if he didn't somehow phase right through it. Much like Schrödinger's cat, he's literally there and not there at the same time. It takes a moment for Katze to appear but once he does, the alien emerges with a toothy smirk upon his bright red lips.

He's downright creepy looking.]

I finally found you~! Talk about good luck.

[He could almost SMELL the money as he speaks. Katze can't wait to claim his reward.]

You know what's this all about, toots! Your ass is up to grabs and 'Bossman' wants you alive~

[unhappy]

Oh.

[ She said it like that was a lot less of a threat than she thought it was going to be. She kind of expected someone to take the bounty, but she hadn't quite expected a freak like this to be the one to find her. ]

Give me 10% and I'll go with you without a fight.

[ Because Katze and Emerald agree on one thing even if it hasn't been said- that's a lot of money, and if Emerald knows a couple of things it's that:

1. Jaune Arc is an easy fight. She doesn't know this person, she hasn't looked into them and she doesn't have her partner right now for insurance.
2. Money is helpful and if she can get a cut of Jaune's stupid mission to destroy her and then kick his ass, all the better.

...And if this pink spazz doesn't agree, she'll just feign a fight and save her strength. That's fine. But she'd rather keep herself armed if possible. ]
