City Escape [Social]

John would snap awake from his 1000-thread count, Egyptian cotton bed sheets, his face and voice disheveled. The wake-up call he ordered at the front desk was sounded like a nuclear alarm. Disarming it by picking up and speaking the secret code to the voice on the other side. "Thank you for the wake-up call." John didn't even hear the words spoken to him, but it had been routine enough that he followed his procedure to the letter. Standing up, and peeling away the curtains to allow the sunshine to reign in. He could see all of Yorknew City from this penthouse vantage. It was still early, there was enough time to start the day, but before he started with a quick picture of the classic corded phone on his nightstand with an auto-tweet for midday.

Hours later, looking like a different man, John Pepper would strut out of the front doors of the hotel. Door opened by an attendant who would be slipped a bill into the mans palm. Then checking his smartphone, an unrecognizable model, smiling at his tweet going off. The first thing he would do is swivel the sling on his back to his front, digging for his treasure. John Pepper would pull out a mini-helicopter and controller...? He would attach his phone to the controller, and tossing the drone up into the air. Holding a configuration of buttons, the drone would light up and the gyroscopic blades would stabilize the drone right before hitting the floor.

With a sequence of button presses, he could see himself on his phone third-person. He would flick from the screen with one of the joysticks, turning the drone and throwing up a series of gestures.



"You know, we're in the land of good fellahs, and we're lookin' for some fun. I heard there's this great Yorknew style pizza place right around-" As he was speaking, he would turn to see some people in pursuit but their firearms were exposed. Pulling out his phone for a moment to double-check. "But you know, looks like I found a couple of wise guys who might be able to gimme a recommendation. LEEET'S GOOO!"

Jogging to the scene of the action, he would see a car pull up in front of him and a gorgeous woman would step out. He knew she would be great to get in the shot. Taking out his phone to take off the auto-pilot and recalibrating it to focus on the beauty from a further distance. John Pepper would let out a wolf-whistle, "Hey baby, you lookin' real spicy, but it looks like you could use a little Pepper in your life."  It was only at this point where he could see the person that they were pursuing as well, a teen, tall for his age, but most striking were his eyes. And all he could think about were the likes rolling in. 


[WC 504]

It was not hard for Belladonna to tell that the boy seemed nervous upon her arrival at the scene, perhaps she gave off a dangerous aura. But she found the boy's answer amusing, "Ah~, that makes it tough for you then." Her attention would then shift to the mobster, who didn't seem too happy with her interrupting his business. But a sudden change to the way he spoke piqued up the redhead's interest, "Am I what?" She would throw the question back, wanting him to finish his question.

However, another man joined the scene with a glamorous entrance, preventing Belladonna to find out what the man was going to say. But that didn't feel very important at the moment, because the most influential influencer had arrived on the scene! Belladonna was not exactly a fan, but she had watched a good amount of his masterpieces and she liked it, as expected of a son from a famous actress. The redhead would lift her hand and waved at John Pepper before focusing back on the mobster who, unfortunately, decided to leave the scene. "Aww, leaving so soon? Bummer..."

"I didn't expect they would just leave like that... but hey, are you alright, boy?" Belladonna crossed her arms as she stared at the boy, a smile was carved on her face. "Judging from everything, I'd assume you are on the run and they are trying to get you back?"

After she got an answer from the boy, Belladonna would shift her focus to John Pepper, "Hello there, Mr. Pepper. I'm a fan, you look even more handsome in real life~."
