The Clean 'n Yellow Laundromat, Make Yellow your word for Clean~

[yenBert]

The Clean 'n Yellow laundromat is a located uptown, in the wealthier of the residential districts. The only laundromat in the area, after 'a series of unfortunate events' had befallen it's competitors, it is busy at almost all hours of the day. The actual establishment is rather bland, not unlike the laundromats seen on television, or in the movies, a single room with washers and dryers lined up against the walls and islands in the centre of the room to sort clothes. From the floor tiles to the machines themselves, the entire room is spotless white. A large, seemingly pointless counter lines the back wall, behind it is a door marked 'Emproyees Onry'. In accordance to one of the owner's many rules, the Clean 'n Yellow laundromat is almost completely silent, save for the odd murmur or the low hums of the washing machines.

Why is preview not on the left side?! Will Yen ever get this right?! Turn in next week for more.

[James]

It had just began to turn dark as two rather smartly dressed people entered Yen's laundromat. That must've been a first! A rather attractive man and woman, both immediately attracting suspicion by not seemingly carrying laundry. As if it mattered. The woman made her way to the counter and cleared her throat, an attempt to gain the attention of whoever worked her. Just to be on the safe side she figured she'd make her request out loud. "Is there a Mr Peril present?"

Her gaze wandered about the store, making note of all the occupants and exit points.

[yenBert]

"What you want?"

A sharp voice almost screamed from behind the white counter. The self-proclaimed evil genius, the Yellow Peril, stood up from his seated position so his 'guests' could see him clearly. Dressed in a tradition Chinese long shirt, the tall, slim man had his hair pulled back into a long ponytail. His face was long and slim, his eyebrows pointed. What looked like marker decorated his lower face, making it look like he had a beard and a Fu Manchu moustache.

"You no clothes to clean? Then you leave!"

[Zeren]

"I'm afraid not" Boris Ulyanov-Bronstein replied, in his thick Russian accent. He looked over the man with mild amusement as he began to sense what powers the man possessed. "We are here with a message from our employer, Mr Viktor Korvak, owner of the Magnum Club."

He glanced sideways at Jade and muttered something to her before turning his attention back to the Yellow Peril. "I suggest you listen, because compliance would benefit you greatly."

[James]

Jade listened with interest as Boris told her of the powers he believed this man to possess. Perhaps he would be a useful companion afterall. A somewhat dangerous smile flitted across her face briefly but both men probably spotted it. She remained confident that if Mr Peril didn't see reason, Boris and herself could handle it.

"Mr Peril, I am here on behalf of Mr Korvak to offer you a service. No doubt you know how dangerous Edgewater is. There are many people with powers and many of them use them in a detrimental fashion. People that would use their powers to take money from a successful man such as yourself, Mr Peril." Her eyes narrowed as she spoke his name. For a moment she considered just robbing the place but quickly thought better of it. How much petty cash could a laundromat have lying about?

"I'm sure you believe that you are capable of defending your store. Someone as....fast as yourself generally appears in the right place at the right time, no? Unfortunately, you alone wouldn't stand a chance at what is out there I'm afraid to say. This is where we come in." Jade said in a much brighter tone, motioning towards herself and Boris with a rare warm smile upon her face.

"For a price, we of the Magnum Organisation can keep you and your business safe. Without us...it's a dangerous world out there"

Guided by the fates that be (or perhaps the power of plot), Buddy walked in to Clean 'n Yellow with a bucket of laundry, and as usual, his stand up bass on his back. He ignored whatever was going on at the front, probably just an angry customer, people got pissed off about whatever these days, and went about his business. He went about his business in a very relaxed fashion, not really caring about getting it done fast because he honestly didn't have much to do that day, or any day for that matter. Soon his colours were seperated from his whites, and then, after checking out how much change he brought (seven quarters, five dimes, three nickels, and two pennies), he divided his colours in to darks and lights. He threw in his darks and waited, jamming along to some music that was apparently playing in his head.

Then he noticed he was wearing his leather jacket, and without much more to do, walked up to the front. He waited for a bit, but then decided, you know what! Screw this! They could take five seconds out of their complaining (probably about not having a specific brand of detergent, freakin' losers, its all the same) to let him ask a freakin' question. "Hey, uhh..excuse me, do you guys do leather?"

[yenBert]

The Yellow Peril couldn't believe his ears. These common thugs had the guts to try to extort money from him, the Yellow Peril! Evil geniuses don't get proper respect nowadays. His otherwise yellow-tinted face grew red, and he began spewing out phrases such as 'Sey Gwai Lo' and 'Pok Gai Ah Leh'. Whatever language he was speaking, it wasn't recognizable to any currently inside the laundromat.

"You not so scary! You know who I am? I am Yellow Peril! I-"

His rant was interrupted by another rude customer, this time asking about his clothes,

"If it fit in machine, it wash! Now you all leave me alone!"

Throwing his hands into the air, he sat back down to his seat and, crossing his arms, began muttering profanities under his breath.

[Keva]

In a mere thought the Yellow Peril may have ruined his shop. Three customers was business was surely lost and yet the thought did save one of those customer's life from Viktor's enforcer Jade Ferruccio. Yet how was it done? Did he slam Jade Ferruccio through the roof of his building using his natural ability of telekinesis? Would he slam Jade Ferruccio into a industrial washer and turn it on? Fling a red hot iron into her face? Possibly even pull down her pants or fondle her? Nay! None of them was done, even the last options which was quite surprising seeing Yellow Peril's nationality. He actually ruined his business with several others with that thought even though they was no where around or knew what was happening!

Those clothes about the shop quickly shot in front of Yellow Peril and formed a thick wall of clothing which stretched from each side of his shop. A wall which quickly started pressing forward against those three customers within the shop as the Yellow Peril started warning his shop's occupants to leave or pay the price.

[Keva]

Almost instantly the Yellow Peril's plan of using his wall of clothing as a shield seemingly broke apart as he was blinded by a flash of light which revealed one of Viktor's enforcers beside him. It was that male who had accompanied the woman Jade. With a sudden 'OI' of fright he would teleport himself away barely escaping the trap which had been laid for him. A trap which was still released and got a target... just not the one it was intended for. The invisible Jade who had swung back her gun to strike against Yen's head with a club would swing with all her might and catch her ally upon the crown of his skull causing him to plummet forward nearly unconscious from the blow which had resounded with a metallic ding...

Within seconds the shop had gone from respectable business to a hell hole. A man was nearly unconscious upon the floor while a other who had taken off his guitar and started bashing away at the garments which had fallen to the floor. While the Asian who ran the shop was outside, running as fast as he could down the street with hopes of losing his targets... but his brain was already concentrating on his shop once more. With it so freshly in mind he could clearly see those clothes within his shop which would raise once more only to start swinging within a flurry of clothing, whipping those insides with the clothing's material...

Yellow Peril will soon escape if not pursued.

Bronstien is nearly unconscious due to friendly fire.

Buddy Celyn and Jade Ferruccio is being assaulted by clothing.

[Keva]

With a slight groan Bronstien attempted to raise himself only to feel his arms give out underneath him. It seemed as if though the blow Jade had delivered was quite damaging and had surely put Bronstien out of commission for the rest of the day... and that left merely the unnamed customer who had been beating the ground with his bass and the invisible Jade within that whirlwind of clothing which barraged them with smarting slaps. That was until Jade jumped into action. Quickly running through the scattered clothing she quickly ran to the end of the washing machine line and ripped it up with a slight grunt. The possibly five thousand pound industrial washing machine but a slight problem for the strong arm of Viktor Jade. Yet it was without so much of a second thought she would teleport outside, bringing that washing machine with her as well.

Yet the appearance of a floating washing machine was something which truly surprised the Yellow Peril who had started to approach the shop in a crouched run. With deadly intent they looked upon each other, each having selected their weapon of choice and yet one was quite deadlier. The catalyst for one a advanced brain while the other raw muscle... but which was stronger? Both figures threw their weapons with all their might; One a SUV while the other a washing machine. Within midair those two metallic behemoths clashed yet through raw power of it's propulsion alone the much smaller object one as it sliced through that SUV with ease and towards Yellow Peril's position. Then it landed with a screech of sparks as it slid across the ground driving the figure of the Yellow Peril before it.. or so it was thought at first. Upon closer inspection by Jade approaching the washer she would find specks of blood and the torn sleeve of his shirt but besides for that he had disappeared, the flash and smoke of his teleport lost within the wave of destruction the washing machine had caused.

Yet the Yellow Peril could only look from afar as he gazed solemnly upon his shop, just what would happen to it in his absence? Slowly he turned his eyes to his right arm, pierced deep into his flesh a shard of shrapnel from the washing machine. With a slight tch of annoyance he turned and fled all the wail of sirens hinted upon the horizon.

The Yellow Peril has escaped and has a injured arm which needs immediate medical attention or a infection may spread.

Bromstien is currently all but unconscious and can hardly move.

Jade is fine and approaching the store Buddy Celyn is still within.

[Keva]

With a slight sigh Jade teleported back inside the 'Clean n' Yellow Laundromat' only to look about the room for her partner. With that whirlwind of clothing long since dead her search was easy, after all the man with the bass now cradled that other man within his arms. Was he taking mercy upon the man or holding him hostage within this situation. There was only one way to tell... "Give me Bromstien." the invisible woman cooed leaving the man baffled as to where she was. But with a nervous glance he crouched down and placed the man upon the ground before him only to return his hands to his base. Quickly holstering her gun Jade approached her fallen comrade while watched that man before her through the top of her eyes. Slowly bending to maintain her balance she slid her arms underneath Bromstien's form only to start lifting him up. A inch.. two inches.. three inches off the ground Bromstien rose and yet no action was seen from that other figure. Did he apparently plan on giving up? "Leave now or d" and yet nothing else came out her mouth as she watched with shock filled eyes as that base guitar was suddenly swing with all his strength of his left arm, it's bottom soaring over Bromstien's head and where he presumed Jade was. With a slight churr the wooden, but indestructible, base struck Jade upon her cheek sending her reeling to the right and sliding across the ground until she rammed into the wall. In between the two figures Bromstien and yet already that base player had hidden behind his indestructible guitar in a attempt to shield him from the woman's bullets. "I don't know whats going on but leave!" the man would shout from behind his position.

[Keva]

With a slight growl Jade proceeded to roll from her side onto her stomach. Had that bitch really just struck her? She was giving him a chance to live... oh she would make him squeal like a swine before she left and yet she knew she would have to hurry. For it was within the distance upon that cool June night she could already hear the approaching sirens of the Edgewater's police department. Quickly she started to rise only to find herself splashed by the cold water which had started to flow at rapid pace since she had torn away the washing machine. Turning around she couldn't help but snarl at the man behind her who had thrusted the base of his double bass through the water propelling the water which went up ankle deep onto her body revealing her within the bright lighting of the laundromat from the sparkling water droplets which clung to her body.

With a grin upon his face Buddy suddenly rushed her position using his double bass as a shield, which successfully covered him all but his moving feet, his plan all to apparent. He would use his bass as a shield to not only cover himself but bash in Jade's skull. But Jade could only grin as he approached letting the distance close.. five feet.. four feet.. three feet... two.. and she was gone with a flash of light and cloud of smoke. Suddenly realizing she had teleported once again, as he had witnessed she could do when the laundromat's owner attempted to remove Jade and Bromstien, he turned about looking for her only to catch the flash of light of her appearing.

Quickly she brought up her gun and angled it upon his right arm which had squirmed it's way underneath the double bass' strings allowing him to wield it as he did. Yet for a second time seemed to slow down as he attempted to bring his arm before him as he watched that glistening finger of Jade curl about that trigger and squeeze it... the sharp 'Psst' of the bullet whistling through the air seemed to snap time back onto track. Then came Buddy's scream as the bullet lodged deep within his right shoulder blade causing his arm to all but limp as he looked upon the woman with worried eyes as he attempted to bring up that double bass even with his wounded arm. Thats when she fired again, that bullet aimed for the palm of his hand which was slide underneath those strings. With a single grunt of pain he looked down to observe his hand... stuck in between the unbreakable strings was the bullet, it's head partly buried into his palm.

Slowly he looked up as he saw yet another flash upon the water's surface... where had she gone? Thats when he felt it, that sudden kick into his chest which was accompanied with a sickening crunch as at least five of his ribs suddenly fractured. Almost instantly Buddy found himself forced into a coughing fit as he emptied his stomach's contents into his lap and found himself bent over... his chest barely raising due to the pain it took to even breathe. With a grin Jade slowly pressed her silenced pistol to the crown of his skull as she softly cooed out the word "Bang" only to wrap her trigger about the trigger...



BANG

Kercherk

BANG

Kercherk



Slowly Buddy turned his head upright to look before him.. no longer did Jade stand there but he could see her feet which laid horizontally along the ground... her skin had lost it's chameleon like traits. Yet why had fallen? Almost to quickly it hit him, someone had shot her! Excitedly he turned his head to face the window which he almost instantly regretted as a wave of a nausea passed over him. Within the doorway stood four officers of the law, one of which holding a shotgun while the other three had drawn their standard issue pistols. "Drop your weapon or we will shoot you with live ammunition!" the man with the shotgun suddenly yelled out as he continued to point his gun upon the torso of the fallen form. 'Live ammunition? Just what had they blown her away with?' with a almost shocked looked upon his face he turned to look upon the figure of Jade, having rolled away from where it had hit her a little rubber pellet. A bumble bee...



Buddy Celyn has been seriously wounded.

Jade has been hit by two bumble bees, rubber pullets meant to take down criminals, in the side and has fallen onto the ground. Jade has lost concentration and is visible.

[Keva]

With a slight groan Jade dropped her gun and rolled onto her stomach obviously complying with the police force's demands. That was until she disappeared with a flash of light and smoke only for a flash to pop up behind the cops. She had teleported and gone invisible. Quickly the cops spread out as they backed up against various points on walls and pointed their guns around warily looking for the shimmer of the water within the air. That was all except for the man who used that police issued shotgun who was currently loading it with live ammunition. Shell after shell he would load into the pump model shotgun until five was in stock and one in the chamber. Then it happened. A sudden splashing of water as the woman moved through the nearly knee deep water with rapid speed and approached on the shotgun wielding officer. Quickly all four men let lose a torrent of bullets within the approaching woman's direction yet she didn't seem to slow as suddenly that shotgun wielding cop found himself placed before her rather like a shield. "Drop the guns or he dies." she would threaten only for them to look amongst themselves... they couldn't see her. It wasn't worth the risk. Slowly they dropped their guns and the second the last one splashed into the water she tossed that body in one of the officer's direction as she rushed a second who had turned and started fleeing towards the exit at rapid speed himself. While that fourth officer fished out his gun once more and shot within the woman's supposed direction, catching her within the back of the leg and nearly causing her to fall with it's impact. Things was messing up and she knew it... with a slight tch of personal anger a flash of light and poof of smoke soon appeared where she was once presumed to stand only to appear again on the other side of the room beside a body... Bromstien.

Quickly scooping him up she would teleport away... Jade has escaped with extensive damage done to the 'Clean n' Yellow Laundromat'

6,700 dollars worth of damage has occured. Yen may abandon his base and set up again or repair it.

Jade has received 1 SP!
