Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)
Adelle followed the girls through the side door, keeping her pistol at the ready just in case. They traveled down the side corridors of the place, passing by a few homeless people along the way, and though Adelle felt for them and wanted to help, she couldn't do anything at all for them really, other than make this place a bit safer for them by taking out Margaret along with Mariela and the others. She was glad that they didn't seem to feel like bothering them any at all as well, as she didn't want to have to hurt them just because they were trying to mug them and get money to live on, though she of course didn't have the majority of her money on her at the moment as she'd left it all back at Lacri's place for the time being.
Following Mariela through the place, they came to an area that had the tennis ball guns and arena that Isabella had spoke of earlier before coming in. Adelle idly wondered what going through the gauntlet down there would have been like when it was still operational and stuff as they made their way down the stands of the arena. Then as they got down into the rather large arena ring itself, Adelle was brought out of her thoughts as a motorcycle whizzed past with the guy driving it swinging a chain at Lacri, who easily dodged the attack by ducking. Adelle had pulled her gun up and aimed at him, but by the time she was about to pull the trigger he'd gone behind a larger arena obstacle.
The guy came out from behind the obstacle, apparently having abandoned the motorcycle for now, which Adelle wondered why he would do such a thing when it would give him an obvious advantage against them. He really looked like nothing more than a punk really, and his getup really made Adelle giggle a little as it looked ridiculous, though she didn't do so out loud where anyone could hear her. The girls listened to the guy tell them that he was doing this as a favor to the madam, which made Adelle thought could only mean Margaret. When the red and blonde haired woman came out dressed like the sexy nurse, pulling a sort of needle like gun up that Adelle took a step back from instinctively, for more than one reason. One of which was who knew what kinds of poisons she probably had in the syringe, and secondly... she didn't like needles and getting shots when she was a kid, even when she knew they were to help her get well and such, and that fear followed her to adulthood. Now she wasn't so scared of needles that she'd just faint or run away or anything drastic like that, but she did always cry when she was a child and had to get a shot and they hurt like hell, so she would start shaking a little bit when one got within a few inches of her and she always had to be held still.
Adelle shook those old memories from her mind for the moment, as she had a job to do and she couldn't start trembling in front of her friends, or her enemies. "Alright girls, we don't know what she's got in that syringe of her's, and I really don't wanna find out first hand myself. Izzy, you think you can hit the syringe on that thing? Maybe if one of us distracts her or something I mean. And someone will have to handle that guy there, because I don't even wanna know what he's got to use against us other than that chain," Adelle whispered to the girls, hoping that Isabella was a good enough shot to hit the target, though she too would aim for the syringe of course, to try and take out the fake nurse's only means of attack that she could see.
Adelle was also mildly curious about the motorcycle that the guy had, thinking to herself that maybe she could somehow get her hands on it and then she'd have herself a means of travel to possibly go and see her parents and let them know that she was alright and it could also give her the ability to take jobs that were farther afield as well and get through with them quicker. It was something to consider greatly to say the least, though she doubted that the guy would just hand over the keys to it and let her take it for a spin, which meant that she would have to kill him after dealing with the would be nurse first. With that, as soon as Isabella was ready to shoot and the others ready to fight, Adelle would make sure to make her poncho swish around so that the two would be looking at it instead of her hand work underneath as she switched guns to the Colt behind the cover of the thing, where she would quickly whip the Colt out and take aim at the girl's knees and shoot a couple of bullets to try and incapacitate her and knock her out of the fight so they could deal with the guy.
