Welcome to Gaia! ::

Focused entirely on Legart, Jansen didn't even see Tien's shots coming.

And there were two gaping bullet holes in the center of Jansen's chest. Mortal wounds. Staring down at the blood blossoming from them, he didn't even move to dodge Legart's bullets.

He had time for one last act of vengeance, though, before he breathed his last. Summoning a mighty wind, spending all his energy for this single blow, a gust of air rose from beneath the car, sending it 20 feet into the air.

Then it would come crashing down again, even as the whirlwind around Jansen's feet died. The lifeless body slumped on the sand, and a Riposte marble rolled out of his robes.

((First die - Jansen
Second die - Tien

And this is why I hate guns.

Description for the marble forthcoming.))

Legart had already started moving forward to close distance after he fired the first two shots, but as Jansen fell, the momentary satisfaction of a kill turned to dumbstruck surprise as he was blown off his feet. Legart whipped his head around to get his bearings back only to find that the car wasn't where he left it--in fact, it was twenty feet in the goddamn air, and plummeting. This could be very bad if it landed on one of them.

Legart did take impact into consideration when he built the trunk to store weaponry--the grenades were locked in foam-wrap containers, so they should survive something like this. That went for the assault rifle, the ammo, and the two pistols in the trunk as well. It would be a pain collecting what was there when it landed, but it was possible to salvage most, if not all of the equipment.

Hurrying to his feet, Legart ran toward the downed Jansen, keeping his gun trained on the man who was bleeding out. The car crashed down somewhere behind him, but right now it wouldn't be something he was concerned about. "********," Legart snarled, considering putting another bullet into the man but deciding against it. He bent down, scooping up the marble and dropping it into his coat pocket.

But did the man have anything else he could loot? Keeping the gun casually pointed at Jansen's torso, Legart started looking over the young man's clothes, patting him down, not minding whether he got blood on his hands or not.

On Jansen, Legart would fine the runic knife - nothing special or magical about it, it was merely an ornamental blade Jansen wore to look pretty. He would also find an ornate mirror, and several valuable looking gold rings on his fingers, studded with semi-precious stones.

Legart didn't take the knife--it wasn't something he'd use, and despite its ornamental value, it was too distinctive. Somebody might recognize it and try to blow his head off for selling it to them. Deftly pulling the rings off Jansen's fingers, Legart made his way back to the car, putting the rings in his pocket but drawing out the marble, which he handed to Tokai. "Hang on to this one," he said as he gestured with his gun for Tien to get out of the driver's seat.

As Tien moved, Legart holstered his pistol, tugged his seat belt on, closed the door, waited for his companions to get situated, and gunned the engine of the somewhat-used Audi S8 that was now theirs, heading off for the Boardwalk.

Getting into the back seat Tokai put down the shot gun. Leaning back he opened his jacket, pulling his shirt down and exposing the top part of what appeared to be an oni tattoo. With a small grunt he extracted the dasher marble from the oni's third eye and replaced with the new silver one. "Thanks for the new one, anything would be better for me then that stupid running fast one," he said as they made their way to the boardwalk.

With that, Adam and Aiolos kept going. To the properties. Yeah...

Adam followed Aiolos to the properties.
