Old Habbits Die Hard

Void trotted causiosly down the path. It had been a couple weeks scince he had been here. He was on his way to meet an old friend. More of a co-worker than a friend. He was more or less the reason Void was avoiding Manehatten. He sliped around a corner into the back alleys. He stood in the alley for some time. He should be here by now... He thought.

(Is this RP reserved?)

(Nope.^.^)

Sitting in the alley was a well dressed mare with black striped suit with matching fedora. She had a baseball bat slipped under her arm as she held out a small pocket weightier to make sure she had gotten all of it. She smirked satisfied it was the amount she thought before just dropping the bat in the trash can where she had left the knocked out colt. 

"I love doing my service to help the fine community of Manehatten." She said sarcastically as she walked towards the other pony in the alley with little attention. Up close she was light brown color with puffy hair that she seem to use her fedora to hid. Her tie was grainy black with white, long sleeve shirt underneath. She looked like mobster out of movie by the way she dressed. 

She had arrived about ten or so minutes ago, got into with some flankhole who said he was waiting for someone. She Talon thought he should be taught a lesson about getting on her bad side, that and she was kinda itching to hurt somebody lately. Now with it out of her system she was fit as a fiddle, not that she cared much about fiddle. Personally that sounded like nails on the chalkboard to her.

Void stood in the ally waiting for his 'friend'. He noticed a mare aproach him. Is she on to us? He wondered. "What's up?" He asked trying to keep his cool.

Talon was about to just pass the colt, maybe do a little peek back if she needed another visual. She had to indulge in peeking back at colts sometimes. However, he seem to want her attention. She looked him up at and down, getting a feel of his looks. He was male, he was clearly a Unicorn from his slender body and horn sticking out his head. His hair was a mess, but he tried to pretend he combed it by having it fall on one side, covering a large part of his face. His tail dragged on the ground behind him, leading up to thinly defined back legs. Clearing his legs were used for dodging, running and all around walking. It was clear as day he was talented in magic.

Talon wasn't sure what he wanted, but she was pretty sure where she sat was not a bad spot if things turn sour. Talon turns towards him, planting herself firmly on the ground and adjusting her hat with smirk. "Nothing," she gave a tiny smirk as she recalled the badly beaten colt in the trashcan. "What's up with you Alley Plum?"

"I was just wondering if you've seen another colt around here? He's a dark blue with a black mane." He asked realizing this was a bad move the moment he said it. I basicly just gave myself away if she's some sorta cop... Void thought kicking himself. I just can't tell her my name... Thoughts rushed around in his head causing him to become a bit nervous. Comming back to Manehatten was a bad idea.

She gave a a look like she was trying to get a read on his weird reply. She was wondering now if he was some kinda cop, or something. Maybe he was trying to get some confession out of her. She had been hearing cops lately dressing up normally and having a chat with you, then using what they got in court, but she wanted to think he wasn't. She didn't know about many unicorn cops. She maybe ios was detective, or somepony from crime scene investigation?

"Another colt?" She replied, letting her hoof tap against her pink lipsticked lips. "I don't think I have seen one down her besides you Alley Plum." Talon hadn't got his name, not she would really call him it anyway. She really liked giving ponies slightly insulting nicknames. Like Alley Plum. You think of alley's has a dark, dirty place where hobo's sleep and gang fights happen, which would be place for a soft looking plum of a pony like him. "Why are you asking?" She smirked heavily as she did a vuglar motion with her hoof. "Coming to cheat on your wife with your colt on the side?"

Void stamped his hoof down. He was insulted."I'll have you know I could go to prision just being seen trotting these allies!" Woops... Void imediatly regreted giving that away. He backed off a bit and sighed. "I might as well come clean with you. That colt owes me some bits from a job we did about a week ago. I'm hiding out in another town and only came back to get those bits. And the names Void by the way." He readied his magic incase she was mad or a cop. He wasn't going down withought a decent fight.

Talon stood there for a moment, bending back her head bit at him before laughing. It was belly laugh as she pointed at him, almost falling to the ground as she just laughed at him. "What are you? Stupid?" She hit her head then motions at Void. "Who just says all this to someone on the street? What if I was cop or something, hell I could just be a passerby and I could just report you. Damn brass have your lean flank.." She turned to look at it for a moment before talking. "Like yours surrounded in no time." She quickly shook her head before adjusting her hat. "Names Talon Nor. I don't care about your bull and you are so stupid your funny. So justtt this once I won't turn you in." She touched her pocket where she had took the bits from the colt, putting it together. "Tell you what Alley Plum. Let's ditch this place. I'll buy ya a pizza."

Void sighed. He was stupid. Scince his friend didn't seem to be comming he might as well. "Alright." Void said a bit relived. At least she wasn't going to fight him. I should still be causios though... he thought. She was right though, he should have been more carful. Mabey living in ponyville was making him soft... It was too carfree.

Talon walked passed him, giving a bit of a glance at this colt. He was real piece of work. Talon lived for only a few reasons. She respected only strength, but when you meet someone who can make you laugh. Well, you couldn't bring yourself to punch them anymore. She was hoping that the colt she took care would have friends look for him, this Void didn't seem like he had much love for the colt. At least not enough to avenge him. 

Talon had gotten her fill of breaking noses. She just wanted pizza and to hear what other stupid things this colt had to say. She didn't linger as she walked down the street, where nopony looked at eachother and quickly said sorry if they bumped someone. The big city had no time. Void and Talon. There story was a two in pool of a million happening everyday.

Void trotted alongside Talon. He had forgoten how cold Manehatten was. In ponyville there wasn't a passer by who didn't say hi or smile at you. It got anoying most of the time. He missed Manehatten but he knew he couldn't stay too long and risk being cought. He would most likley leave right after he found that no good partner of his and got those bits but, in the mean time he was just going to hang around.

Void looked up from thought. He realized he didn't know where they were going, all he knew was they were getting pizza. "So where we going?" He asked trying to at least get a clue.

"Too get pizza dumb dumb." She said, walking a little faster like she was afraid of the stupid rubbing off on her. "I know a place up the street that has pizza that doesn't taste to bad." She pushed aside some colt, who looked offended till Talon gave him a cold stare and he rushed by. "Damn flankholes. All I get is slow pokes and weaklings. Can't I get hello? Maybe somebody at least shove back? That so0 much to ask?"

She turned back the colt with question look as the pizza place was in site. It was camped against the end of the street where the disrty old sign displayed it's name: Acy's PizzaL Where good pizza is a promise.

Void frowned as a pony bumped into Talon. "Trust me. After awhile friendly ponies can become agitating." he sighed, following her into the pizza place.

Talon opened the door for the colt, seeing as there is no way he would repay the kindness. Talon really loved doing stuff nice for the sole purpose of showing it all stems from self-interest. She opened the door for him because he was entertaining her and it was funny to do it. She could care less about making sure he got inside. Just like he didn't care about his "friend" snuffed in a trash xolt that would wake up with a nice knot on his head.

"All veggy, Water, Lemonade and get me... what is it today? Tuesday? Get me the soup you serve on Tuesdays." She just falls into her chair. The pizza place looked more like a lounge then a restaurant. It had three cushion couch on each side for chairs and high table to eat on. Soft mordern jazz played in the background as Talon removed her hat. She tried to tame her wild hair, but it was frankly not possible. She seem clearly upset about till she just said "screw it" under her breath and laid back.

Void watched as Talon messed with her hair. He couldn't help but laugh at her frustration. "Got a problem there?" He asked sitting down.

"How about you learn went your treading in dangerous territory pal." She gave him a glare, telling him she saw this as reason to throw a hoof his way then so kinda drama hair issue. She had been plagued with untamed hair since she was young, trying everything to fix it to no avail. No matter how tough you were, you always had a soft spot.

"So I'd drop the ha's ha's and you tell me why you keep looking around like you think some guards gonna snatch you or something." She checked her nail with smirk, hoping she might of hit back at one of his soft spots.

Void frown and shifted posisions. "Well, i'm in a bit of trouble right now. That's all I'd care to share." He looked at Talon. She had brought up his past. He hated digging up the past. For all he knew any one of the ponies around could be an off duty gaurd.

She smirked at him, slightly chuckling at how he trying to act so cool. "Must be some big secret then." She said while she turned to watch the colt throw the pizza in the air, swirling it about make the perfect shape. "You know I knew a lot of colts that decided to keep there mouth shuts about their problems. Funny thing in the end. All it did was make it that much easier for them to get caught." She perked up a bit as she remembered something. "That reminds. I gotta go visit my buddy in prison sometime."

"You saying I'm gunna get cought?" He smirked as he looked around the place. It was rather empty. "Is everypony invisable here?" He asked sarcasticly joking.

"Nah, I'm not saying your gonna get caught." She had grown a smirk from his comment about nopony being around before leaning into the table. "I'm just saying if they placed bits on the table I'd bet you would be, because the chances are high."

The pizza making colt set their pie down, steaming with favor and poured them each a glass of water before departing to the kitchen. "Like do you even have a place to lay low?"

"Well yeah. I'm not stupid. The plan was get my bits and head back to another nearby town where I've been staying." Void replied. He was trying to hide the new town. Because he probably wasn't going back for a long time.

"Bits?" Talon touched her chin as it all came together, making her want to laugh at loud at how life messes around with ponies and their lives. "I'm guessing by the fact your taking my offer for pizza you don't have those bits do ya? So how you gonna split town?"
