Qrow

[nysan]

[ Shady Man, or the alias he typically goes by, S-8, was exercising extreme caution in how he traveled around Olympia. There was still much to be done, but the aftermath of releasing VIOLET 2710 and being tied directly to it made his situation understandably precarious. Today, their meeting spot was in the Theatre District, but that will change, as it always does. He seeks a particular person in the Red Light District: his closest confidant, Chadsef.

It only took one moment, one split second, of letting his guard down, for the damning tattoo of an "M" on his wrist to be revealed. He is not typically this careless. Being one with the shadows is how he's gotten as far as he has within the organization. But that split second is enough, apparently, and he notices that Qrow has caught attention almost immediately.

The pursuit was subtle, at first, with S-8 weaving expertly through the costumed crowds and attempting to lose his pursuer. Then, as the crowds thin and Qrow still hasn't lost sight of him, he resorts to less subtle means. His superhuman speed kicks in, as does his ability to momentarily disappear from sight.

It's no use.

S-8 knows the city like the back of his hand, but he is quickly running out of options that aren't dead ends. ]

Jeanne D'Arc (Alter)

[nysan]

[ Chadsef doesn't get by on his charisma or good looks, but he knows how to wile his way out of a bad situation. How else could he elude the waves of people out on high alert lately? Olympia was bound to be out for blood, but he wasn't expecting so many refugees to take up the cause. He is small and quick, easy to miss as long as he's clever, but he overlooks a woman in black that didn't look a wit like a city guardsman.

But now she's on his tail and impossible to shake, even after he's run halfway across the Market District, scurrying into every alley he can. The chase is finally over when some bad luck catches up with him, driving him up against a wall. He is frantic, sputtering out his words as he wrings his hands. It doesn't hide the M on his wrist. ]

Oh man, ah geez... Hey lady, parley? Truce? We can come to some kinda understanding, can't we!?

Terra

[nysan]

[ That fresh young boy with the bright-looking eyes didn't look like much at first. Gnome was expecting to shake him off easily. She's always been apt at sneaking around, after all; most of her spells dwell into stealth and camouflage, rendering her almost soundless and helping her blend into her surroundings. She's managed to hide from Terra quite a few times, but who would expect him to be so persistent at his goal? Every time Gnome lifted her spell, he somehow managed to find her and was hot on her tail once again.

She needs to get back to her husband, Chadsef. She's dying to know if he made it out alright, with so many refugees chasing them right now. First, she has to shake off Terra. As Terra searches, Gnome hides herself away in a tree, using her chameleon-like powers to blend into the leaves. She can't keep this up for very long, but it's hopefully enough to throw Terra off her trail. ]
