1 ➣ [Action] I'm trouble y'all, I disturb my town

[hatersbehatin]

[The night has come, and it's playtime. While it should occur to Mai that something is wrong, that she isn't acting like normal, the curse she's a victim of is overriding her good sense to make sure she doesn't catch on. She doesn't even question where the catsuit and black leather mask came from. Meh.

All she thinks of is how bored she is sitting

Saturday Night

[What was your character doing Saturday night?]

Saturday Night :: Flynn's Apartment

[brokemysmolder]

[Flynn sits on the edge of his ratty mattress and examines the sunflower hairclip in his hands. He shouldn't have bought it; he could hardly afford anything right now, with little honest employment and no dishonest, but it had made him think of Rapunzel. Picturing it in her hair, he couldn't help himself.

Now he just needs the courage to give it to her.

Sighing, he sets the hair clip on his windowsill and heads to the kitchen for a glass of water. Not exactly liquid courage, but hopefully it would suffice.]

[Meanwhile outside, Mai is on the prowl, gazing around for fire escapes or other things she can climb. A combination of a fire escape and a small boost of unnatural speed manage to get her to the point where she is in a spot to reach Flynn's windowsill.

Now. Lights on, should be a warning that maybe this isn't a good idea, but you know, the danger of almost getting caught makes it that much more fun. Besides people aren't as likely to lock their windows when they are home and awake, right?

And that's why her hand reaches out to press up against the window, testing to see if she can lift it with just one hand.]

[You know what's better than water for fueling courage? Food.

This is Flynn, rummaging through his fridge. Sadly, there's not much to rummage through.]

Sunday Night

[hatersbehatin]

[What was your character doing Sunday night? Did they come back for more?]

[pyromatics]

[Zuko wasn't coming back for more, no, he was going out to find it. After hearing from Aang what had happened on the Saturday night, Zuko discreetly steps out dressed in all black from head to toe, the neck portion stretched up to cover his mouth and nose. He wears his dao blades crossed over his back just in case.

If there's some sort of troublemaker hanging around the tea shop district part of the City, he won't let them anywhere near their home and protect it as best as he can.

A little ways from the tea shop he moves, sticking to the shadows until he's reached the main street. She could strike at any time, he has to be prepared for anything.

Zuko creeps a little further out and disappears into one of the side alleys, his steps silent on the pavement.]

[hatersbehatin]

[Somewhere along the lines of him playing the part of Ninja, Zuko caught the eye of a dark figure on the roof top not that far away from the tea shop. She hunkers down as he creeps, and she follows along matching his pace from across the way, easily leaping between rooftops with a little extra 'ump' in her leaps thanks to her new found power.

When he pauses, she leans further over the ledge of a roof to try and get a better look at him. Eventually though, the distance between them adds a level of difficulty to her tracking that she chooses to avoid by sliding down to the ground once she gets the chance to.

Her feet fall silently, and she lands in a low crouch before she began to close the distance between them. Slowly, quietly and ducking into shadows when it looks like he may spot her. It's a challenge, and she loves this test of her stalking ability, his close proximity to the tea shop was just a small bonus.]

[pyromatics]

[There's another pause in his steps. Zuko can sense that he's no longer alone, his body tense and braced. Even if her steps are silent, it's the movement of limbs that his keen hearing picks up on.

He waits. Waits. And then he's moving again, pretending to not have noticed anything.

There's anticipation running through him, adrenaline causing the blood to rush in his ears. He senses his challenger close but doesn't want to get too far from the tea shop where his uncle sleeps undisturbed.

Zuko slips into the next alley and looks up to catch sight of the ladder. He crouches and launches himself up fluidly to grasp the third bottom rut, using his upper body strength to pull himself up, climbing up, up, up-- then he slips up onto the roof and half-crouches while quickly making his way over the slope to drop down behind a thick chimney.

Waiting.]
