[ Someone is in a foul mood at the moment. Though Akito is doing a fairly good at keeping his irritation off of his face. What he isn't good at keeping off of his face - for the moment, at least - is blood. From both a bloody nose and a split lip. And given the developing redness he's getting on his uncovered right eye, he's in for a decent black eye as well. ]

Gazelle Deliveries will be delayed tonight by one hour and seven minutes in the Metal sector. All other sectors should receive their deliveries on time.

[ huff huff huff. He'll work on healing his injuries himself later. ]

That is an oddly specific time frame. [Valdis turns to look at the screen and her eyes fill with concern] Are you ok?

[akito]

I keep a tight schedule. [ when you can keep track of time accurately to within a few seconds it's pretty easy to be specific. ] And I'll be fine, thanks!

[She raises one eyebrow as if skeptical] What happened? [she still sounds worried, but of course sounding and feeling are two different things]

[akito]

You could call it a territorial dispute.

Territorial dispute? With whom?

[AND STARING IN HORROR.]

What happened?!

[akito]

[ honestly has NO IDEA why she would be looking at him like that. it's only a little bit of blood, gosh. ]

I was taking a shortcut through a back-alley and I guess one of the gangs decided it was their alley only.

[ a pause before he adds, slightly smug: ]

Now it's my alley.

[BLOOD IS BAD, AKITO. BAD.]

But-- how many were there? How did you get away?

[Wait. What. His alley?]

...You won?

[akito]

There were only a few of them, and they weren't very skilled at fighting.

[ sarah sarah sarah you don't think he would be teaching you self-defense if he couldn't kick some ass easy-peasy do you? ]

I grew up beating up tougher gangs than the ones around here, so it was pretty easy!

[aleran]

[Tavi's seen far worse injuries, so he just looks kind of amused.]

And why such an specific delay?

[akito]

I keep a tight schedule! That's how long it will take me to complete my other deliveries and get to the Metal sector.

[aleran]

[He's actually been reading other's people's replies to this, so by now Tavi has the entire story. And where he looked amused now he looks kind of impressed.]

You took down a gang by yourself and it only took you that long? Less than that even, since I assume you took time to get back to make this post.

[akito]

It wasn't a whole gang - just a few people. So it wasn't too hard! Especially with knowledge of basic self defense, ne? People don't expect someone my size to know how to defend themselves.

[iwannabeadragon]

[You're getting a particularly unimpressed look right now Akito.]

And here you were telling me not to get beaten.

[akito]

[ um excuse you hawke you are getting an incredulous look in return. ]

I didn't get beaten. I definitely won that one.

[iwannabeadragon]

Your face says otherwise. You look like a raccoon.

[akito]

It was five against one. [ huffs. ] It was either take a punch to the face, or risk the safety of my packages. And if someone steals my packages en route who'd want to use my service for deliveries in the future?

[ so he beat the crap out of all of them. =u= ]

[oneofthegoodguys]

What happened?

[akito]

You could say it was a territorial dispute.

[oneofthegoodguys]

You okay?

[akito]

Un! I'm fine. And there shouldn't be anymore disputes in that area anymore, either.

Well, I'd ask what happened, but it looks like that's been covered. I'd ask if you wanted help, but it looks like that's been covered as well.

All of which doesn't leave this message much point. Try not to be attacked again. Quintus doesn't like it.

text b/c it's weird video responding to texts ok

[akito]

Quintus knows that sometimes people are shitheads
And that I can take care of myself when they are. :)
Hopefully they won't see me as a target anymore just because I'm small.

[skeletonenigma]

Hopefully indeed.

[Skulduggery's never factored size into his appraisal of a person's fighting abilities. If anything, size gives you an advantage. Still, Akito, don't scare him like that. -_-]

If it happens again, let me know.

text; pan won't let me get up so pretend there is html here lolol :'D

[akito]

Why? It was just a small gang attack.

[ it was pathetic, really, compared to what he was used to. though the hit he took was a mess-up on his part. ]
