fandomtownies | Blood Gulch Arms, early morning

It was probably an odd sight to see a spartan soldier dressed in a delvian priestess garbs head into Blood Gulch Arms. The sunglasses she wore weren't exactly helping the image. There were police wires across her door, but she simply pulled them off and entered her shop, her movements careful and deliberate as if from someone with a huge hangover. Which probably was a good way to describe O'Malley.

There were signs of ducks presence everywhere and Tex was definitely not looking forward to cleaning this out. She'd probably just pay someone to do it. Her attention was more set on the armored door behind the counter. It and the wall surrounding it had huge dents from O'Malley's attempts to open it. She grimaced with satisfaction that he'd failed, that at least she had done that much. Moving closer to the door, she noticed that he had completely trashed the panel. It took her a while before she was able to override it and then finally she spoke the password O'Malley had been seeking; "Red Bull". The door slid open and Tex entered the untouched room. Her gunblade was lying aside on a workbench and she picked it up, traching a hand across the sharp blade as she briefly wondered how Yazoo was doing.

Gritting her teeth, she left the room again and moved up to her appartment. Rain and wind hadn't done her already trashed space much good and here and there she could still see traces of blood. She owed people, big time. First she needed to find out what had triggered O'Malley, though. She was sure now beyond a doubt that he hadn't been in her armour, he hadn't been the A.I. she had to deal with for years. This had been different and she was going to find out how.

((It's open for interaction. She's not in armour so that's probably a good thing.))

Kadaj and Loz watched the shop for a while, saw the destruction and the damage, along with the police tape and he waited.

He waited for Tex. Rumors were flying all over town and he wanted to make sure himself what was going on or kill the bitch himself if he had to blow the entire fucking building sky high with her in it.

Following up the stairs and leaving Loz outside, just in case, he didn't even bother to disguise his movements.

[ooc- will be very slow play for a bit]

As Tex had gone into the bedroom to retrieve some of her clothes, she picked up on the noise easily. Dumping her bag on the floor, she moved to the door with her gunblade held up. While she never really talked to any of Yazoo's brothers, it wasn't hard to recognise him.

She considered him for a moment, making sure she wasn't mixing up brothers. "Kadaj," she said and she lowered the blade only slightly.

He nodded and leaned in the main doorway of the apartment. "I was hoping you could tell me what happened," he said slowly, tilting his head to look at her. "Since right now, your biggest supporter is down. Will you be going to finish what you started?"

She lowered her arm, the gunblade resting against her thigh as she took in his words. She didn't need to look around the apartment to remember exactly what O'Malley had done to Yazoo. "How is he?"

Kadaj didn't move but he relaxed slightly when she lowered the gun. "He's okay, coming home today." He watched her closely, noting she didn't have her armor on. "Are you normal again?"

For a moment, Tex looked relieved but it might have been easy to miss with the sunglasses on. She motioned around her with her free hand. "See a duck army anywhere?" She asked with a slight sneer and then, because she realised she at least owed Yazoo something she added, "O'Malley's gone."

"A duck army didn't do that to him," Kadaj sneered back at her. "He'll be glad to hear that O'Malley-whatever is gone. Were you possessed or something?"

Tex cocked her head and regarded Kadaj for a moment. "Something. I don't know what happened, but I'm going to find out and whoever did this is going to be very very sorry they messed with me."

Still wary, Kadaj nodded and pushed up from the door jamb. Yazoo believed she was blameless and she never struck Kadaj as being one to be deceptive. He'd still be keeping an eye on her and if she stepped one whit across the line with him or his brothers again, he'd be there in her face.

"If you find out and want help," he gestured with his hand. He could do that for Yazoo.

Tex grimaced and for the first time her grip on the gunblade relaxed a bit.

"I'll keep it in mind," she said, even if she didn't intend to pick up on the offer. Tick might have been stronger than her, but she still believed she could take on most people on this island and this was her revenge. She understood the gesture, though.

He nodded again and headed back down the stairs. Looked like she had a mess to clean up in more ways than one.
