The Roadside (Zach)
OOC:
Initiative to the two guys in the SUV with a King. Zach follows with an 8.
Zach moves back and avoids the man’s grasping hand, but he can see from the snarl on the guy’s rough-hewn face that he’s just going to keep coming. "Give me that!" the man growls. "Hang up that goddamned phone!"

"Coming right away!" Abby says into Zach’s ear in her lowest, manliest voice. "Hang on, son!"

Down the road a ways, another car is approaching.

"Vinnie! C’mon! Stop fuckin’ ‘round!" The driver calls out from inside the car. "Someone’s comin’!"

Zach continues to step away backwards and he holds on tight to the phone, curling up a bit as he tries to protect himself against the guy. "Leave me alone," he tells the men, trying to sound more angry than scared and not sure if he's succeeding at that.

I'll just do a defend action for now

The Banks (Freddie)

Marco Corbitt
"I see them smokin’ it, numbnuts, I’m talking about that bitch selling. I drove Rose here because she said she’d score me some pot."

It’s an uncomfortable moment. Fred and Marco have never gotten along, especially after that day when a bunch of them ganged up on the troubled, shit-disturbing kid. But after that, there were almost always enough of them around in a group to discourage any kind of reprisal. But now… with the girls right down by the water… it was just Marco and Freddie.

"Detroit, shit for brains. Fuckin’ De-troit steel," Marco says when the other boy asks him where his car came from. "S’gotta V8, five liters. Gonna put a blower on it. S’gonna be fuckin’ radical." He shakes his head though, when Fred suggests they go check it out.

"Naw dude. I’m here for weed, that’s all, not show and tell." Spitting on the ground, Marco smirks as his eyes go to Emily, who is suddenly almost nose to nose with Rose. "You fuckin’ her?" he asks. Another spit. "She’s new in town, right, like Rose? She any good? She suck? Rose does. Like a fuckin’ Hoover."
Jan 4, 2023 8:57 pm
"Rose has got some pot for you," he says, hoping to forestall Marco marching over there.

After Marco rattles off the sticker specs on his Z28 Freddie doesn't really listen. Gasoline is dead, who cares, moron, he thinks.

However, when he starts to go on about the girls, his hackles rise. The creep that Zach mentioned suddenly makes sense. Marco is a big guy, with a beef against him, and dangerous. But the vengeful streak kicks in, along with the lack of self-preservation that comes from smoking weed infrequently and being stoned.

"You and Rose? I asked her to go with me to Homecoming. That's going to be awkward."
Jan 4, 2023 10:59 pm
"It is good shit as you say. I grow it, or grew it and I'm growing it again. You have last year's plant. But this year's a clone so it should be the same ... mostly."

Emily offers a hand for the pipe but realizes she has to chill a bit or they will have to carry her home and that would be downright embarrassing.

"Yeah I kinda was interested in him and thought he might be into me but he seems like a bit of a prick, ya know? He was really nice to me when I got here. Showed me around town and stuff but now ... he wants to play the field it seems. Typical guy. All they want is the one thing. He's no exception I guess," Emily says biting her lower lip. "Not that I don't enjoy that," she adds quickly. "Who doesn't love sex?"

Maybe Emily was warming up to Rose. She wasn't so bad and talking with her was nice as she really didn't have any close female friends yet, but maybe her buzz was making her a little more accepting than she would normally be.

"We could ditch him. That might be fun and only what he deserves. He'd see us leave though. But maybe that's even better." As Rose gets closer, a little too much closer, Emily takes a small step back and almost loses her balance. But then it becomes obvious that Rose might be hunting for a kiss.

"Eww no! I'm not like that. I like guys." Regretting her outburst she backpedals. "But I'm up to trying. I've never kissed a girl. Just be gentle." Bursting into laughter she doubles over, her giggles becoming uncontrollable, tears rolling down her cheeks. "It would be funny to watch his eyes pop out of his head. Don't guys love that girl-on-girl stuff?"

The Roadside (Zach)

Flanking the road on both sides is a ditch and trees beyond that, and as Zach continues to retreat and protect himself, the dark-haired man who tried to take his phone just tries to shove the boy down before he turns and runs back towards the Escalade. The push is a violent one, and Zach goes down hard, ass over teakettle as he tumbles down into the ditch, his phone going flying.

"Dumb punk!" his assailant yells from the SUV, then the big engine roars and gravel flies as the truck pulls away.

Officer Yvonne Bentley
A siren blasts at that moment, and lights flash as Officer Yvonne Bentley, approaching from the other way in her patrol car, witnesses the high schooler being shoved into the ditch. The Cadillac, though, just blasts past her, accelerating away before she can block their escape with her cruiser. Radioing in, she turns the car around and skids to a stop near where Zach is still on the ground, likely groaning.

"Hey!" she shouts as she gets out and runs to the top of the ditch. "You okay! Kid, you alright?!"

Down the road, the black SUV is speeding away.
OOC:
Okay! That’s, surprisingly, a hit and two raises on the damage roll. That will leave Zach Shaken and with Two Wounds. Though Zach can try and Soak the damage by spending a Benny and making a Vigor roll…

And if it’s not clear, Bentley is trying to quickly determine whether the civilian needs help, or she can focus her attention on apprehending the perpetrators.

The Banks (Freddie & Emily)

Marco Corbitt
Perhaps surprisingly, Marco shrugs when Fred mentions maybe inviting Rose to the dance.

"Whatever, bro. We’re not exclusive or nothin’. I got all kinds of bitches now, Freddie, more than I could ever want. Rose’ll be Rose. You don’t know that yet, you’ll learn soon enough."
Rose Tidwell

"You’ve never made out with a girl?" Rose asks Emily incredulously, down at the point — like eeeevvvveryone had done that.

"You’ve had sex, but never even kissed a girl? Wow. And hell yeah guys think it’s hot! He’ll want us all the more, both of us — but then we leaving him hangin’, right? Boner city, high and dry, no action coming his way." Moving forward, pressing herself lightly against the other girl, she grins, kisses Emily surprisingly passionately — there’s tongue — then she breaks away and giggles. "He’ll think of us when he masturbates tonight!"

Standing back a little, Rose draws a deep breath and closes her eyes. "Now you try," she says.

Zach pushes himself to his feet. He flinches when his palms push against the ground. They're hurting, pretty bad, and when he looks at them, they're bleeding. He must have tried to catch himself with them when he was going down and scraped them on the pavement.

He bites his tongue, trying not to break into tears from the pain, surprise and fear of the moment. With a noticeable bit of delay, he looks up at Bentley and nods.
He then scrambles to find his phone again after he must have let it go in his fall. When he has it, he puts it up to his ear.
"Abby?" Even his voice sounds weak and close to tears and... girly. "Abby, they're gone now. I have to hang up."

And then he does without waiting for her answer. And instead, he calls Emily's phone.

"Um ... nooo. I mean I've kissed my mom on the cheek but no. No girls."

Emily almost felt like she'd missed some expected rite of passage and suddenly felt excluded.

"And uh yeah, of course, I've had sex. Hasn't everyone my age?"

But the giggles attacked her again. It was one of the nice side effects of this pot, or not nice depending on what you were into. The idea of Freddie getting a boner as the two of them unexpectedly kissed suddenly felt like the perfect revenge and absolutely hilarious at the same time. The titillating image turned her on so she had no problem returning Rose's kiss in kind as her tongue tried to chase Rose's around the inside of her mouth.

The Banks (Emily)
Rose Tidwell

Rose groans a little when Emily kisses her, exploringly, and the girl lets her hands roam just a little as the boys watch. A buzzing vibration makes her grin and break the deepening kiss, and she needs a moment before she can say, "Uh... that was nice. And I think that's your phone?"

The Roadside (Zach)


Officer Yvonne Bentley
"Oh! Hey, young sir, stay there, don't get up!" the policewoman says emphatically as she climbs down into the culvert. Zach notices there is actually blood all over as he dials Emily Richardsen, and that that's probably what has panicked Officer Bentley.

"Take it easy, you're hurt, but I've got help on the way! Who were those guys? Why'd they do this?" she asks as she reaches him, concern marking her face.
OOC:
That's two wounds out of three, so Zach is indeed pretty hurt, nearly incapacitated.
Jan 5, 2023 8:01 am
The more Zach tries to move, the more he feels pain all over his body. His elbows scream at him when he tries to straighten his arms, there's wetness by his knee that can only be blood and when he tries to stand up, his legs don't support him, whether from shock or actual injury he can't tell yet, so he stays on the ground. He has no idea how he could have fallen so badly but he feels more like he was hit by car than shoved to the ground. Not that he's ever been hit by a car to compare, but still. He blinks up at the officer. "I don't know," he whines and he hates how his voice sounds. Suddenly, a thought comes to him and makes him panic. He still hasn't really determined where all the blood came from, so he reaches up and touches his head, hoping not to find a bleeding wound there of all places. "There... there were these guys and they tried to attack me and these other guys saw it and at first they acted nice and all but then they got really pushy and wanted me to get in their car so I pretended to call my dad and then one of them tried to take my phone and he pushed me," Zach recalls, rattling off the whole story as he still fights with tears. "This hurts," he then admits.

The phone is mostly forgotten in his hand for the moment, so if Emily picks up, she might be able to make out parts of the conversation.

Lily rubs her tongue against her palm. Phantom hairs sit on her tongue, tingling.

"Blegh! Blegh! Blegh!"

Her stomach feels a little woozy.

"It was… it was like looking into a black hole. I think I’m gonna be sick!" she says, slumping down into Wendy’s side.

"Hold my hair back, alright!" and then she’s smiling again.

"That was… a lot. This place…" and then she laughs a little. Which is quickly silenced by the sound of footsteps!

Emily was relieved when her phone buzzed. The kiss was nice and all but the roaming hands she wasn't sure about. Still, she found herself wondering what the boys were doing in response to their shenanigans.

Yanking out her phone she only smiles at Rose's comment and looks to see who it is. Using the opportunity to casually throw a glance the boy's way, she looks to see if their tongues are hanging out.

"Hmm, I better take this. Uh ... hi Zach, what's up?"

OOC:
Emily -- trust you know that it's Zach on the phone? Now if Zach's number isn't in your phone, it'll come up Unknown Number... but since he had your number, chances are good it's in there?

Freddie watches the girls flirt with each other. His first instinct is to leave them to their privacy, but his protective nature won't leave Emily with the possible narc. His second instinct is to make small talk with Marco, but again it's Marco. He instead just reaches down and gets his food. The Vietnamese sub won't eat itself.

When Emily picks up, it sounds more like a pocket dial than an intentional call. Quietly, from farther away, she hears a voice that she only after a moment identifies as Zach's. He sounds scared and maybe even close to tears. "...so I pretended to call my dad and then one of them tried to take my phone and he pushed me. This hurts."

"Zach? That is you, right? Are you ok? You don't sound ok? What hurts? Where are you? Who is them?"

Anxious now that something feels wrong she immediately starts heading toward the van. "I think Zach might be in trouble. Freddie! We might need your help," she shouts over to him, ignoring Marco.

Wendy Lin
Wendy doesn’t even pretend to hold Lily’s hair for her pretend barf, instead making a face herself over what they just witnessed. "Ew. EW! Frickin’ ew! I don’t know what I expected to see, but… augh! EW! Gross!"

The footsteps — they’re recognizable. The scuff-clomp, scuff-clomp… Lily thinks she knows who it is that’s coming. Mr. Levitt!
