Welcome to Gaia! ::

Merdok crept slowly towards the door that lead to the Cafeteria. He could hear the talking of two people. Could it be him? He continued to use the throwing knife as a mirror, but they were too far away to get a good picture. Indeed it was a male who was with the catgirl. He reached down with his left hand and slowly grabbed the handle of his revolver. He put the throwing knife away, back into the empty slit on his pant leg. Now with his free hand, he pulled the revolver on the right side of his belt out. He took a deep breath, and gently stretched his neck out, trying to get a glimpse of the two from behind the wall. There stood the catgirl and the hit. It had to be him. Pink hair of many shades, and the scar under his eye.

Mer moved back behind the wall. A grin stretched across his face, and he stepped into the doorway, holding a single revolver out, pointed directly at the man's chest.

"Crum` Skymacker-- Finally, we meet."

Crim` scratched his head, closing his eyes and frowning, his jacket draped over his shoulders and his other hand hidden under the table.

"Crum.. Skymacker... You got the wrong guy, that's my... Cousin. My cousin Crummy... Always gets into trouble."

Gah, why does everyone want to shoot me lately?

He slumped in his seat a bit.

"This would be a bad place to go poking around in." Kat said absentmindedly, still pointing her gun at intruder. The gun pointed at her didn't really bother her, he was hardly the first person to want to shoot her.

"Pull the trigger on either of us, and I promise you, it'll be the last thing you do." It wasn't so much a warning as a fact. At this range, she knew there was no real chance of her missing, and she had a very fast trigger finger.

Kat pulled the trigger on her gun just as the words left his mouth, and she didn't aim to miss. She wondered absentmindedly how good he was at dodging bullets, though decided she didn't really care. The time to throw off the one-liner was already as a courtesy for missing.

"Only one going to get hurt here is you" She said, having barely moved from where she sat on the countertop. So far, this intruder seemed all talk and no show, and after the recent misadventure in the woods, she wasn't in the mood to put up with it.

Kat smirked, appearing unfazed by his dodge even as her mind was busily analysing weaknesses. Her gun was still aimed at him, ready for the next shot. The only visible indicator that she wasn't truly relaxed was her tightened grip on her trident.

"I won't miss next time." She said confidently. As far as she was concerned, she currently had a far better grasp onto his capabilities than he had on hers, and she consider that a huge advantage.

((I'm cool with waiting for him.))

((Shame, I had this really nice counter-strike all planned out too.))

As the man reached for her arm, Kat was already lowering her right hand to her side as her left hand came up, swinging the head of her trident at his arm to knock it aside. Once her swing finished, she positioned the head pointing at the man's stomach, her hand directly below the head of the trident and the end of the staff running along her arm. Another foot closer and the man would skewer himself for her.

Merdok's weight shifted as his arm was smacked out of place. He saw the positioning of the trident, and quickly dropped onto his right knee, extending his left leg to kick the end of the trident, knocking it out of it's place.

Now, being on one knee and completely unbalanced, he rolled back and in one quick motion, he pulled the revolver from the right holster. He planted his right foot down, leaning forward on his toes, and his left leg still extended, resting on his heel. He aimed the gun at the girl and pulled the hammer of the revolver down with his thumb, making a small "click".
