The Gentry's Story
- Seen 98 Times • Page 1 of 4 • 1, 2, 3, 4
The was a chuffing noise rather suddenly from not very far away, the sound of steam being forced out of a slot at high pressure. This was followed by heavy thudding footsteps, heading roughly in Lumierre's direction. A man in a tailored suit was walking through the forest, back hunched forth like he was some sort of neanderthall. He wore a metal mask over his face and behind it, red glowing eyes could be seen. Steam still drifted from his mouth and his fingers all curled slightly, as if ready to make a fist at the slightest moment.
The man raised his hand, as if to encourage the bird to fly away, but it didn't, remaining on his fingers. His other hand rose up to grasp as gently as possible around the birds wings and then released it into the air. Finally the bird left him in peace. The red eyes trailed after the bird as it flew towards the tree Lumierre was hiding nearest.
The mans eyes were still in her direction, though he remained utterly stoic. "Good day," came a course voice, though light, that reverberated against his mask making him sound a deceptive tone deeper. The mans shoulders slowly rose and fell to silent breathing, and he remained unblinking.
"Me? I am just exploring," answered the man, "Unless you happen to have seen any blue glowing rocks, in which case my attention is entirely yours."
"Me? I am just exploring," answered the man, "Unless you happen to have seen any blue glowing rocks, in which case my attention is entirely yours."
The man let out a chuff once more, steam flowed from his mouth and he slowly turned for Lumierre, bowing once more. "I am The Gentry."
The setting changes from forest-border to Dark Woods
A chuffing noise could be heard as the Grntry approached, finely dressed with blood dripping from his gloves. He was hunting seeking another man who presently fled at high speeds away. The man looked determined, but the chuffing man's face was hidden by a metal mask.
The maskless man, the one being chased, stopped beneath a tree to catch his breath. He too was finely dressed, but he did not look so, well, dangerous.

The man hiding behind the tree fiddled around with some sort of device which looked like an improvised taser. But his tree wouldn't cover him for long. The other man raised his fist and punched it straight through the tree he hid behind, sending splinters showering down.
The first man took off once more, spotting Raviko and shouting out, "Run!" to the girl.

The chuffing could still be heard. The Gentry was still around somewhere nearby, but it sounded as if they had stopped. Stopped moving, that is. The other man was no where to be seen.
The chuffing man was cradling his right hand in his left. There were several splinters stickings out of his hand, big ones, enought ot cause him to bleed. His shoulders were hunched over. It seemed like he was injured.
The other man stepped out. "Don't go near him!" he cried, "He's just trying to lure you out!"
The man with the bleeding hand reached for Raviko with his left hand, trying to grab her by the neck. H His hands were like iron in strength.

The man to the side raised his taser like tool, and out shot a beam of electricity, striking the man and causing him to let out a cry and double over. "He's very dangerous!" said the man with the taser, "Come here, and we can leave in peace. He won't be pursuing us."
The man raised the taser. "Not likely. I've put bullet through him which he's shrugged off. I'd suggest you step away before he tries to hurt you. Tasers only work so well against him."
The other man turned his head up to Raviko and simply stared, then slowly shook his head.

The other man stood, chuffing steam from his metal mask as he rose. His voice was low and muffled as he spoke. He didn't want the other man to hear. But Raviko could probably hear it reverberate from inside the mask. "Well spotted," he said, "Now can you pretend to be a hostage so I can lure him over and snap his neck?" There was barely contained anger in his words.
The man with the mask turned immediately, prompting the other to step forward. "Ah! Touch the girl and I'll zap you again. Let her go."
The man turned his head to stare at the taser, then straightened up.
"Please, miss, you may not know of me but I am the revered inventor Jonas McKenzie. This man is my nemesis. I dubbed him the Gentry. He is a psychopath. I would suggest you move away from him."

"Please, miss, you may not know of me but I am the revered inventor Jonas McKenzie. This man is my nemesis. I dubbed him the Gentry. He is a psychopath. I would suggest you move away from him."
"I thought I was famous," Jonas said with a pout. "But I assure you that man can withstand far more than I have done to him. Did you not see him punch through a tree?"
He let out a sigh. "I am sorry miss. It is rather confusing and I really did not mean to be introduced to you in such a fashion. But I assure you the man is a brute. Incapable even of speech."

Oh damn. The moment Raviko said the Gentry could speak, Jonas raised the taser and fired for her. At the same time, the Gentry dived to tackle her out of the way of the attack. Dammit! This is why he didn't talk! Jonas got trigger happy!
Gentry suddenly ducked down to scoop up Raviko. Damnable conversation. "Fear not," he said from behind his mask, regardless of the fact she was unconscious, "I will carry you to safety."
"Safe-ish," said the man, ducking behind a tree. "Jonas will resort to his usual tactic. He will retreat and try to hunt you down later, when I am not around."
"May I know your name?" he asked as he set them down on the ground gently.
"May I know your name?" he asked as he set them down on the ground gently.
Gentry shook his head. "Because you realised that he is the villain in Jonas McKenzie's little fantasy world. He can't let any one know that he is not the hero of the story. But I would be lying if I said I am not a villain." He stood up straight, dusting himself.
"It is nice to meet you, Raviko. Please call me Gentry." He bowed to her, a very low bow.

Those glowing red eyes remained on Nikka for several moments, as if weighing up what she had done, and then he let go. He would jump down to safety a moment later. "Thank you." And with that, he took off down the sewers.
Jonas was back in his workshop, sighing as he sought through his machines for something to cut metal. He would have to rebuild the spider miner again. And be more careful!

The setting changes from main-street to Wing City
There was the sound of cranking deep in the darkness, some figure working on some machine it seemed. However, at the sound of October's voice they stopped and there was a clatter of ratchet hitting floor. Little more could be seen other than the two red glowing eyes that peered up from the darkness. Staring.
It took a moment for Eianicith to arrive, without a candle, and to wave a claw. Finally, the figure deep in the basement spoke, an upper-class voice that was muffled, reverberating against something held just in front of their face, most likely a mask. "Scorpion. I did not know we had guests. Do you require assistance with etiquette?"
