Xander Cage 101

"I'm down to about a clip, X. I could cover you if you think you can get to the car."

When they’d gone in, he’d known it was gonna be a tough job, but he hadn’t expected it to end up with he and John pinned down by a gang of assholes with Uzis. He checked his gun, revealing about the same amount of ammo. Waiting for the other guys’ ammo to run out wasn’t an option, their cover was shoddy at best, and not 100% bulletproof. 

“I make it, you buy dinner, that burger joint in Chinatown. Deal?” The come-down from an adrenaline high was nearly as bad as a hangover sometimes, and those were the best hangover cures. X glanced over the rapidly-decreasing area of cover to the car, gauging the limited routes he could take to get there, and which one would be the most fun

Firing off a bit of suppressing fire, he pulled a pistol(ten rounds, nothing fancy) from his waistband and left John with the semi-auto. “Big gun’ll just slow me down.” Okay, here we go… He gave John a wink and a nod before popping up and making a zig-zagged beeline for the car.

“Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I've gotta find out for sure.”

“What is it Birdman always says? ‘It’s not paranoia if they’re really out to get you’“ He couldn’t help but smirk a bit. “Look, you wanna find out for sure, I’ve got your back. Just don’t be an idiot.” That was the closest Xander’d ever get to telling anyone–especially John–to be careful.

“We get out now, or we die trying. I'm pretty sure they're gonna kill us anyway.”

“Gonna be that much of a defeatest, John?” Xander grinned, shimmying his other hand out of the freshly-cut bonds. “If we’re gonna go, let’s take a few of ‘em with us, at least.” 

“you got to stop taking yourself so seriously.”

“The hell do you mean?” Xander didn’t really take himself that seriously, so color him confused.

“Even roller skates? I always wanted to learn how to roller skate. Seemed like a much more exciting way to get around than by WALKING –” Or driving. She’d never learned how to drive, honestly. And it was far too late now. Eyebrows raise at his next question though, and she pauses, breath caught in her chest as she shrugs. “Ah. No, he – he ended it. Forcefully. Bit of a prick, really –” Her smile falters, only for a moment before she clears her throat and picks it back up again. No reason to dwell on it, as far as she could tell.

“I’m…more of a blades guy, I’d say.” Xander hadn’t been on roller skates since he was a little kid. “I could teach you,” he couldn’t help himself, pretty girl, wanting to learn a skill he had… The world was setting him up or something. But he’d also poked a nerve, there was a story there, not one he’d prod for right now though. “Lazy pricks make horrible riding partners anyway,” he leaned on the bar. “I’m neither. Xander. Think I could get some water?”

“Hm ….” Lips press into a tight line, even as she nods and smirks. Right. Interesting. “What d’you do then? Extra cardio? My ex used to hate cardio. Used to try and drag him out on bike rides all the time – he loathed it …” She pauses. Maybe that was too much. 

image

Xander couldn’t help the smile that crept onto his face as she gave a bit too much information. “Something like that. I’m pretty active,” his decent-but-not-perfect British accent twinged on the last three words, he couldn’t help himself. “Gimme something with wheels and I’ll find a way to keep myself occupied.” An ex. Meant she was single now, right? “You break up with him because he was lazy?” If she was gonna overshare, he was gonna go with it, especially considering the weird vibe he was getting from her. She wasn’t normal, couldn’t yet figure out quite how she was weird, though.

      “ —– well. SOMEONE spends an awful lot of the time at the gym, don’t they …” Excuse her. She’s forgotten how to have conversations with normal people. Mostly.

It took a moment for Xander to register that the voice was talking to him–for some reason–but he turned around and smirked at the woman. “You’d think that, but I don’t even have a membership.” 

guiltysarcasm:

I am an impulsive roleplayer.

I let my muse take the reins and decide what threads to start or reply to in a given day. If the muse doesn’t feel it, it isn’t happening. That doesn’t mean that I hate you or that I no longer want to interact with you; I probably either lost our thread or my muse just said, ‘nah bro.’

I’m sorry I drop threads.
I’m sorry I don’t reply to memes.
I’m sorry I ignore my asks.
I’m sorry I plot things and then don’t do them.

I’m an impulsive roleplayer: my muse guides me.

Roleplaying isn’t my job: it’s my hobby. I do it for fun. My muse isn’t my coworker: my muse is my friend. We have fun together. If I started treating this as a job, it wouldn’t be enjoyable for me anymore, and the quality of my content would diminish greatly!

And while we’re on the subject, just because a thread gets dropped does not mean the relationship between our muses is dead!! Thread =/= relationship! We can start something new and continue building their bond! Relationships are important to building new aspects of our muses!

I always want to roleplay with you. Just…perhaps not with that thread. You feel?

When I came back I didn’t need a weapon, I was a weapon.
