BC: *Oh, he might have looked he was wandering, but BC wasn't a cat that so idly spent his time. No, it was always for some sort of purpose, even if sometimes he wasn't aware of what it was until later. This was not one of those times. He remembered the fiery youth from the bar brawl weeks ago and, as per usual, put a mental tab upon him - something to check later. Lila wasn't going to enjoy knowing he was out again without protection, but he had no fear of the youth: none that would invoke the need for a bodyguard. Pocketing his hands, he whistles lightly as he enters the marketplace*

Ichi: *Walked along the building roofs and watched the humans. He never went close, they tried to help him cause he had three legs. Well ******** them they had caused this in the first place. He sat on the corner of a building and spied a male moving about, the male with the odd hair and the long fake claws on his hands. He frowne dand wondered why someone like that would be here? He rested his hand on his knee and kept an eye on the male.*

BC: *Hmm, rather hot out today . . . Too hot. The asphalt practically steamed when any moisture hit it, and so the black cat took to the shade and ducked from several humans' eyes, wiping at his brow.* A hellhole if there was such a thing on this world. *He let his head rest back against the wall, eyeing the sky with a wry look - and what appeared to be a silhouette of another cat up above even, simply sitting there. Paranoia said he was being followed. Common sense told him there were plenty of cats around. Logic, however, butted in: no-one would purposefully be out of the shade and on the /roof/ of a building unless they had some sort of agenda. Thus he stared up with slightly squinted eyes, wondering if this would be enough to elicit a reaction.*

Ichi: *Watched the dark cat. He liked his look, he liked that he was strong and mean looking. Ichi didn't look mean cause he had one arm. He didn't like to have people fuss over him, except his mother. He saw the male looking at him and frowned as he staired back. He didn't know why he was looking at him, but he wanted to piss him off, so he flipped him off and smirked. He could come to him if he wanted to start something. He was sure that the male wouldn't hurt him, he knew that he would probably stop a fight if the male wanted it. He did want to live till he had his new arm attached.*

BC: *An inner count: That was . . . the second time someone decided to give him the bird from a higher perch. He actually chuckled a little at the coincidence, remembering the fiery and somewhat unstable girl who had graced him with such names as Hitler and Romeo in the same breath. Aah, but this one was with only one arm, or of course he would have been given two birds at once for maximum insult. He could see why Lila couldn't stand to deal with the miscreants. Calls up* Ah, you look familar up here. Thoug hthat gall was not aimed at me at the time. Your father, was it?

Ichi: *Looked down at him as he spoke annd sighed.* Yes it was then. Do you have a stairing problem or are you infatuated with me? Have i done something to make you watch me so much? *He called down to him as he tilted his head and watched the male. He didnn't like when someone just...looked at him. Made him self concious about his arm*

BC: *Ah, another list! The second time also, this time of being mistaken for being charmed or infatuated by someone else. He gave the young tom an indulging smile* Not of the first question, but indeed the second. That was quite a fight you engaged in, my friend. Not many would fight their own father with such tenacity.

Ichi: *Rolled his eyes* I'm sure theres not many with a relationship with their father like i have. *He said as he looked over the male.* What interest do you have with me then? Just cause i fought my father?

BC: Not so much the who as the how, the why. You defended someone you loved and was willing to get hurt in the process. Generally speaking it's better to come out unscathed, but your example was marvelous nonetheless. *claps a few times even* I like that in a cat: that fiery passion to fight back for one's cause, regardless of who stands in the way - even family.

Ichi: *Looked at him and with easy grace he jumped from the roof to a pile of trash and then to the ground.* Oh really? And why would you be interested in that? Why would you find such interest in me? *He asked with his hand on his side. He raised a brow and looked over the male. There was something odd about the man but he kind of liked it.* I have to fight for a lot of things or i will soon be killed. I didn't loose this arm in a nice way and its made me not so nice at times. Now tell me, what do you want?!

BC: *Calmly* Ah yes, the arm. *The man could have infinite patience when he wanted, which balanced out his general's usually violent ideas - otherwise the young tom would have been quickly ganged upon. The black cat look at the noticeable space like he only then noticed* That must have been the Facility's. I know others just like you, young Ichijou. *Never mind how he knew the boy's name* Others who have lost a limb to the human's handiwork. Others who have learned to cope and rebuild from it into something far stronger. *BC was testing the waters, beginning with a bait of power to ee if this suited his prey better than a different offer*

IchiLooked at him and rubbed his arm* Yes. That building. I heard it went down a few weeks ago. Am i right? *He asked as he looked at the male. He didn't care how he knew his name, that could be easily learned. He looked at him again* I hate them. I hate the humans. And i hate everyone who thinks i'm weak cause i have a missing arm. Now why do you have an interest in me?

BC: *Eyes glint amusedly* Yes, "that building". I was a part of the effort to take it down, though most think me dead currently. *He had separated from the group in order to plant the bomb needed to cause the damage that forced it to shut down. Being the dramatic cat that he was secretly, BC had allowed rumors underground of his death to circulate, as when he made his return he was sure it would be quite magnificent - like the Messiah even.* As to why I have an interest in you, that is simple: you possess qualities I look for in any cat that I would interest in joining my efforts against the humans. A strength of character, a fire-tested will, and a similar desire in seeing their control destroyed.

Ichi: Against the humans? Sounds interesting. You have my attention. What will we be doing? If your allowed to tell me. I do have plans to have this, *Wiggles his stump* Fixed. I met a female with a metal arm. And i'm in the process of getting some cats who are good with metal and building things to make me an arm. If you want me to help now, how can i help you at the moment?

BC: Simple. Tell others who would be sympathetic to our cause to come to Gaijin Gesuido. As far as metal work, I could give you the name of my personal smith. A rather gruff mechanic, but nonetheless an experienced one. *smiles* there, my friend I can explain to all without need to repeat myself. Rest assured, this will be a blow to the humans that they may very well not recover from.

IchiThought about it and nodded* Ok i'll keep my ears pealed for anyone who shares our hate for the humans while i'm at my mothers place. The Casino. And the two i have working on it right now are pretty good. I think it will work out ok. But if something happens i'll ask you for your person. *He said as he looked at him* How do i find this place? *He asked with a look*

BC: The territory can be nomadic depending on the situation, but we are currently in the basement of an unleased office to the northeast. The sign should read "Sten, Harper, and Wright Inc." Bland in appearance otherwise, but one of my associates will be waiting at the door to greet. When we are ready, there will be a message left by your Casino for you.

Ichi: *Looked at him and nodded* I look forward to seeing it soon. I don't think i got your name. You seem to know mine though. *he said as he flipped his hair back and adjusted his glasses on his nose. He looked over him and wondered if all the other cats there would be as scary as this male looked. Ichi would never be scared of anyone but his mother...and ok maybe his father now, but this male didn't scare him.*

BC: *smiles, almost abashed even* Aah, my manners. The heat addles my mind. *puts a hand to his breast and bows* I am but a humble laborer of feline rights, my friend. Call me what is easiest to remember.

Ichi: *Looked at him and smirked* Ok then. Mister it is. I'll come find you in a few days to see the place you have. And to meet everyone else. Is there anything else i need to know about all of this?

BC: *straightens* Nothing more than to gather those you know and bring them along. For now, I must retreat from this infernal heat. *The sight of the sun was bothering him intensely, and he was tired of squinting just to look up even* Be mindful for the invitation first, young Ichijou, and not a day before. *pocketing his hands, he turns to leave once more, picking up a lilting tune to hum*
