Jack was impressed by the sheer size of the place, it was so busy, which is easily one of the hardest parts of making a city in a game, making it look busy.  There was no telling how many interactions were happening right now that he could participate in.  Popping open his inventory he grabbed his map, checking it for the item store.  The closest one was on the other side of a row of buildings but he could easily walk through a alley to get over there faster.<br/><br/>"Hopefully I'll be back in fifteen also, but chances are I'll get distracted." He called to the others, before running of towards the alley. Once he got there he realized just how alive the city was.  There was a mugging going on, there where three really big guys all huddled around a rather beat up kid, who was currently trying desperately to fend of there kicks to his gut.<br/><br/>"We should help him." Jacks voice said.<br/>"There's a 'should' in that sentence? I think the proper word is 'will'." Jack responded to himself.<br/>"Ok, embarrassing or painful?"<br/>"I think embarrassing will be funner."<br/>"Okey dokey!"  Jack then pulled out his bat and knife, and quietly ran up to the thugs, who didn't notice him until he slit their belts.<br/>The biggest one was wearing brony boxers.<br/>As the three turned to him the closest one attempted to pull a knife out of his pants, before realizing they were on the floor.  So Jack kicked him upside his head when he tried to retrieve both.<br/><br/>The farthest one already had his knife so he charged Jack, while the bigger one cried out<br/>"Get him Davy, make him pay."<br/>"So your name is Davy."  Jack said, before deflecting Davy's knife jab, followed swiftly by a head butt to the nose.  Davy reeled back clutching his nose, accidentally cutting his eyebrow in the process. Jack then smashed his bat into the top of Davy's head, unconscious.<br/>The first thug now had his knife, but rather than stab he threw it at Jack.  So Jacked ducked, then returned with a knife throw of his own, which planted itself firmly in the man's arm.<br/>"Carl!" The middle thug cried out, charging me with his fist, disregarding his shorts.  Jack tossed his bat upward into the air, ducked under a right hook from the boss thug, rolled under his legs, then caught his bat and took him in the base of the neck.  He dropped of course.<br/>Turning back to Carl, Jack caught a surprisingly strong fist with his face.  Rolling back from it, he landed on his feet just in time to dodge a full house kick from the guy, leaving his valuables open.  And a rather painful uppercut was delivered.  Carl dropped like a rock, one that could whimper like a puppy.<br/>Walking over to the thugs original target, Jack found his knife and bat laying at about where Carl had punched him.  Replacing his weapons, he bent down to examine the boy.  He was conscious, barely, and looking sleepily at Jack.<br/>"Hey, kid, where is your house?"  Jack said, giving the kid a slight tap on the forehead, making sure he was paying attention.<br/>"200 north, 135 West, second floor, 14."  The kid responded, then promptly fell asleep on Jack's shoulder.  A little alert popped up next to the boy's head, telling Jack he had just unlocked a time limited quest.<br/>"Looks like you got distracted." Jacks voice told him.<br/>"Yep, let's tell the others I'll be a bit late. I'll PM JD as we carry the kid over to his house."<br/>Picking the kid up and slinging him over his shoulder, he looked around to see that the thugs had disappeared, replaced by a green light.  Reward. Hey this is already paying off.  Standing in the light, Jack got 60 gold, a throwing knife, a bandage, and a 'thug's cuff." Jack equipped the cuff, used the bandage to heal his face, and carried the kid over his shoulder towards his house.
