Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lime grumbled, kicking over a trash bin as he looked down at the man who was cowering below him on the pavement. Some scum bag dealing coke behind some rag strip club. It was so trite and cliché that a literal prime example of scum would be around a place like this, but, what did Lime care? It was energy he was after, what did it matter where he got it?
A hand diving into the man’s chest, Lime sneered at the scream.
“Come on b***h. Louder.” He said, ripping the glittering gem from the body.
“Could have at least have made it fun.”

Lime did not see this coming. Not even felt it coming. Not until it was too late, and he was being sent across the pavement in a rough tumble, starseed rolling on the ground in the other direction. When Lime realized what the ever living hell had just happened, he blinked they promptly ******** CHRIST a*****e."

He was just doing his job- couldn't he just catch ONE break? Just one?

"Not even a warning? Now that's just cowardly."

Lime's aggression was hardly stalled by the knight's polite attempt to send him away, rather, it only served to further incite him. Lime had his work, and, he was for once, thinking he could have a bit of sadistic fun out of it. Not like it was a fun job, but hey, had to get the kicks from somewhere.

"Nah, guys like you put up a fight. You're best knocked out, though, you don't scream then." He felt it might do to try and get the other man riled, make this fight at least worth being interrupted for.

"It's what makes half the fun, watching them squirm."

Thats when Lime threw the nesting doll at him.

Lime was the type of person to act then realize said action had been a bad decision and regret it very quickly afterwards understanding that he'd just ******** up badly and there was no real way to recover from what he'd just done.
Asked if he'd indeed, just thrown the equal of a toy at the man's head, Lime made a very long 'UH' sound.

"Look buddy, I work with what I got, and what I got was a shitty doll. It's not like they just trust us with weapons out of the gate. They're not stupid. Well that stupid anyway."

He smirked, but it vanished as the gavel caught him in the temple, making Lime clutch his head with a yelp of sudden pain. This guy had a gavel and he was giving him s**t over nesting dolls. <********. That your idea of justice?" He glared fist formed.

"How about we do this old school style? Nothing fancy, just our fists? Preferably ending with mine in your chest."

Lime snorted through his mouth. "Does it matter? Dead is dead at the end of day. He's useless to me alive, he's useless to me dead. His only purpose is a vessel for a starseed which has use. That's all." Shoulders went up then down and Lime didn't feel the need to justify his actions.

He smirked.
"But I'll let you in on a secret. You'd regret not handing over that starseed to me. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but eventually. If I walk away empty handed, I'll get reprimanded for failing my duties. If I come back with a few bumps and scrapes well then at least I have an excuse. So I mean really. Your call. Regret it, or leave me to it." Lime cracked his knuckles.

"Either way, I come out on top is how I see it."

The scoff that Lime let out betrayed his depth of contempt for the man who lay motionless on the pavement. "You think this lowlife contributes anything to this world? Look at him." Lime kicked the body nearing the knight in the process.

"He's trash. I'm altruistic, not really, but if you save him, you really think he's going to change what he is? What he does? Peddling drugs, people, he wants money and power and is more than happy to kill people slowly to do it. So that's how I see it. Give me his starseed, you potentially spare any lives he might go on to ruin. Let him live, save him, and every once of coke, every shot of heroin his clients take is your fault."

Lime's smile was cruel.
"I get reprimanded if I show up without a starseed. But at least all the people who's live would be otherwise ruined won't be on my conscious. Either way, I win."
