There were three things Panix noticed immideatly about the Grid.
One: People generally didn't fight around here, atleast not in the open. Two: They safe-gaurded they're possesions lightly or not at all. Three: He could steal things.
Oh, no, a fourth: He could steal thing.
This thought passed through Corey's mind, and he grinned. He scanned the area as he stalked around, looking for a loner, someone who wasn't doing something. He spied one: A commoner from the Wharf Rats. He was sitting on the over turned remains of an aluminum mail box, listening to his CD player and banging his crow bar against the metal he was sitting on.
Suddenly, the boy leaned over and began to nap. Mistake. The boy had taken off his Headphones and turned off his CD player.
The urge to steal was overwhelming, and Panix darted foreward silently, first at a run. Then a sprint. Then, he was padding along on all fours. He came right up to the boy, and stopped. He stood on his knees, reached his hand into the boy's pocket slowly, and gripped the CD player. His hand darted out as quick as a cobra strikes, and he wound the headphones around the player, and stuffed it in his own pocket. Then, he ran off, heading back for Central Park.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Sharky woke up some hours later and reach into his pocket to hit the play button. All his finger touched was the thin denim barrier between his finger and his outer thigh. He poked harder, and his eyes shot up as quick as he sat up. He looked around, wild panic in his eyes. Then, he yelled, picked up his crowbar, and began to beat the metallic, rusted crap out of the mail box with it.

From afar, Panix watched Sharky beat up the mailbox. He grinned and giggled madly. At one point, he thought Sharky had heard him- Not that he was frightened of Sharky, Sharky was a simple little Wharf Rat. Panix just liked to steal things and not get caught. Panix looked at the current CD in the player: No name. It was blank on the top. He played it and grimaced. Loud rock music he couldn't quite understand, it was going too fast. He pressed the SKIP button, and it began screaming in his ears in German. He bared his teeth at the CD Player and tossed it aside. As he began to walk away, Panix felt a sharp pain in his head and his sight went black for a moment. The dark clouds passed as quickly as they had come, and he felt the wound- open and bleeding. He wheeled around and saw Sharky picking up his CD Player and stuffing it in his pocket.
Panix bared his teeth, his upper lip curled back, and his eyes narrowed. He immideatly went for his machette and rushed Sharky. Sharky ran at him, too. Sharky was unnarmed, and slid underneath Panix as Panix jumped up with the machette raised. Sharky grabbed his crowbar and took off for the Wharf. Panix was in close pursuit, and he was closing in at a sprint. After five minutes, Panix began to run along on all fours, the machette clamped between his teeth, eyes blazing.
Sharky dove the last three feet behind the Wharf territory. Panix skidded to a stop, still on all fours, and ran back a few hundred feet, still on all fours. He turned and growled at Sharky, before running back off toward Central Park, aiming to steal something else.

Rico swung his baseball bat idly infront of him, smashing in a car window, bashing it against an old trashcan. His mind was off in another place, his thoughts were rushed back to country lanes outside luton, the thin roads with unfathomable ditches and potholes and extremely dangerous bends. Racing along on the back of his brothers 1974 Indian, the engine roaring over the harmonic night, a scream enveloped the air and a series of dull thuds upon the tarmac. The other bike skidded away in a flurry of sparks and into the bushes at the road side, Rico gave whoop and wiped his bloodied pole off upon his jean clad thigh. The gangs in east anglia were always at it, they pretty much ran the towns around that area, especially Bedfordshire. He gave a squeeze to the arm he had wrapped around his brothers torso and his brother grinned, egging the bike on faster by wrenching the throttle back. He was wrenched from his day dreams as he rounded a corner and bang, in a flurry of his baseball bat, a machete and many flailing limbs he'd collided with another person.

Panix fell to his ass and shoved the person off of him. He reached around, gripped the handle of what he thought was his machete, and brought it up.
"Watch it! I'll kill you!"
The guy who had run into him stood up calmly.
"With a shoe?"
Panix looked at the shoe he was holding and tossed it away. He saw his machete and lunged for it, but the guy was too quick, and Panix was tripped up by the guy's outstretched foot. Panix fell face-foreward onto the sidewalk.

Rico was like a flash, the bigger out of the two dived upon the boy and pinned his struggling arms to the floor, his face livid in a feral snarl, his orange paw print embossed upon his forehead. His eyes locked upon the other boys and then travelled towards the machete near their heads. His thick english accent was rough as he growled
"...You'll do no such bloody thing even if it's with a shoe..." Rico suddenly realised the uncontrollable humour of the situation and began to laugh gently, a snigger at first before laughing heavily, he pushed himself up off the other boy and leant his hand down to his fellow Wildcat.
"...Come on...Sorry bout that "

Panix gripped the guy's hand and yanked himself up.
"Thanks... I'm just a little pissed... Someone I was after got away..."
He brushed off the seat of his pants and grabbed his machette. Panix began to spin it along his fingers as he turned back to the man.
"The name's Panix. You?"

Rico bent down and hefted his baseball bat back up, he lifted it and rested it down upon his shoulder the red paint chipped in long places, hardly any of the paintwork had survived upon it. Long gauges were in it aswell as teeth marks and a few stains of dried blood. He smiled gently, his long black hair was tied back behind his head and his blue eyes shone gently. His leather jacket bore all kinds of badges and patches sewn onto the arms, old biker groups and sayings aswell as loads of 80's rock band patches.
"...The names Nails...Yeah I hate it when they do that...nippy little bastards ain't they. "

"I wanted his CD Player. It screamed really loud in german, so I figured I'd check out the rest of it later. Then he took it back while I was napping and hit me with a crowbar. I chased him back to teh Wharf, but I don't wanna go in there..."
He began to walk, hopeing to continue the conversation elsewhere.
"Why do they call you nails?"

Rico gave a sympathetic nod, he knew what it was like to have one of the little buggers dodge back into home ground with something you claimed. He shrugged gently as he thought back with a fond smile
"..Me brothers gave the name, on one of the first nights I joined their gang back home I got smashed in the head with a claw hammer...they said I didn't even flinch but carried on fighting so they said I was hard as nails....and from then on it kinda stuck." He grinned gently parting his hair gently on the left side of his skull to show a long thin scar running a good four inches along his head.
"...How bout you, how'd you get Panix ? "

Panix laughed at his story.
"... How about you, how'd you get Panix?"
"Well... It's like this... I used to steal thing. With this." Panix said, and held up his machette.
"... and, well, it caused a city-wide panic. They thought I was a hundred seperate people, not the same guy. So my buddies started to call my 'instiller of panic' in hungarian. I shortened it when I came here. Plus, I think the 'x' is an interesting english character."

Rico smiled gently and listened in turn to the boys story, he gave a grin at the end of it and nodded
"...bunch of regular hard nuts me and you...how long you been here ? Since before the fence got put up or ? " he swung his bat idly into the trash can he'd passed earlier, smashing in the other side of the battered metal.

Panix slid his machette back into it's holster. "No. About..." He looked at the sun. "A few hours, maybe a day. Say, what is there to do around here?"

Rico blinked, slightly shocked. He stopped momentairly in his stride but then caught up with the other boy as they walked, he seemed much more experienced than a commoner and he had a hunters marking.
"...I thought you'd have been here longer....ohwell, I've been here since before the sandstorm...me and my brothers had a bike garage not too far from central park and were out of the city when it hit...afterwards shit happened and I ended up here...stayed out of the Tribe scene for a while then sided with the Cats. "

I didn't so much as choose the Cats. They picked me up over by the fence. Didn't even speak to me, just two Hunters grabbed me and hauled me back over by the wall. I tried to fight back with my 'Chetty and they pinned me and inked me. Then htey explained, and I accepted it. I hope they're not always that rough..."

Rico listend with interest then smiled broadly as the boy stopped his account
"...Trust me they are always like that, even when I waltzed into central asking to join they shoved me in the Pit regardless just so I knew once i'm in theres no getting out of the Cats...rather harsh really but the world is a harsh place...especially in here...Anyways what made you want to come to this place ? I mean sure its a utopia for unruly teens or well it was...but now its a warzone "

"Cuz I'd rather be a thief then a dead guy. Russian Mafia moved into Budapest a few months ago, and I stole from some of the shops they run... Well, every shop they run. Then they sent people after me. I got away, with some help, and I came to America. Then I heard about this place, that the kids were comin' back. So I cut my way through the fences, and here I am. What about you?"

Rico heard the boy out, his baseball bat resting gently upon his leather clad shoulder, he gave a nod and cast his gaze along the street stretched out infront of them.
"...Well just before the sandstorm hit we moved here...we lived a fast violent life back in england and needed to lay low for abit so we moved out here...after a few days we bought ourselves a garage and were gonna open up a bike shop but we needed help...so we took a ride down south to texas to meet someone who said he could help us with some money. After the sandstorm hit while we were away we came back in the panic and tried to get everything and go, we were gonna sort our way through the cities then jump a plane back to england...we would have rather taken our chances there but as we getting our shit ready to leave the guys we had deals with down south appeared in our doorway and started shooting the place up because we were gonna take their money and run...I lost all three of my brothers that day and since then have just be moving around the city venting my anger on the Cigarettes....." Rico was silent for a moment feeling odd that he just let his past slip out to this boy he'd just met, Rico hadn't told anyone about that day or even his history just that he was a Wildcat hunter.
"...so since then i've been drifting through the city hauling in new recruits and claiming territory...it's a tough job but someone need's to do it "

"Well, yeah. So far all I've been told to do is listen to Ocelot and hunt for myself. I think this 'chette's the only reason I became a Hunter." He brought out his machette again and looked at the black, stainless-steal blade.
"So. When do I get to vent my anger?"

Rico grinned. He liked this boy, he had the same views as Rico
"...Aye I got told do as Ocelot says and just beat on other people whenever I want to....I vent my anger on the Cigarettes...bunch of freaking panzies if you ask me but the Wharf rats tend to pick fights with me...the Vampires I steer clear from...they are just a bunch of freaks but yeah if you want to crack a skull or two I always take a walk through here at night, stray on the ghetto side and the Cigarettes like to come waltzing out of there throwing threats at you...that's when you break them open " he swung his bat hard and fast, the air parting around it a long swoosh noise following the bat before he rested it upon his shoulder oncemore.

"Heh. I like your fierce attitude towards those szenvedélyes dohányos! But, I'm more of a stealth guy. The less hits I take, the better. Not that I can't take a hit, but, fenébe!"
Panix laughed and clapped one of his hands on the bigger kid's back, then began to fiddle with his machette.
"This thing cuts good. I like the way it cuts. I've been testing it out. It can cut a little into wood, not much. Enough so I can stick things to a tree. But it can slice through bones."
He looked at Rico and grinned.
"Could be usefull... Sticking people to trees? Sounds like good fun to me..."
