@ Ome (Stella): Whatever that blasted gecko had done, his tongue was like rubber; impenetrable, but soft, and tough.  He grins down at you as the Silver Dragoness throttles the wolf step by step, retreating to recoup and deal with her stronger opponents.  It occurs to you, the Firin' Ozirin must have some grasp of life magics, though using them around here is rough, risky on the borderlands.  How else could his tongue be so tough?  Or strong?  The latter of which occurs to you as the world gets tight... dark... wet.  For several moments, you feel the flesh of his stomach sag with your weight, and your eyes droop... he's draining something from you, not an illegal move but a rough one.  And then - THWOCK!  Something strikes his stomach and, to a lesser extent, you - and you're ejected, out away from him... right for a rather staggered and bloody lone wolf.<br/><br/>@ KavenBach (Santi):  "Santi, Tim, your hands." The man puts the chopper on auto for a moment, pulling straight forward.  "Forgive me, but this is for the best." He draws a knife.  "Tracking items... in your tattoos as well.  You should have two." He explains, slicing Tim open in both spots and removing the chips, then following through with yours as well ((assuming he brings you to trust him and grit your teeth for it.))  He tosses them from the chopper window.  "'S how I found ya, 's how they found ya.  We're going to touch down in a little while..."  Tim lets you go, but not before whispering.  "I just want you to know..." Tim says.  "I'm... glad I met you." He backs away.  "And I'd really like for you to be more comfortable around me... so I'll keep my distance for now." He blinks with big blue happy eyes.<br/><br/>It's an hour later that you've touched down upon an empty rooftop on... the Velle side of the city, over the wall.  As you'd passed over, the chopper had switched from engine to Da-Vinci prototype mode, flying on a blend of Renaissance imagination and magical battery.  Dry and cool and clear, red overcast, Baldy beckons you down into the building - a hospital.  "We'll leave your friend here and come back for her later.  I stopped here because it's one of the few places we can ditch a chopper and vanish into the city still.  We've got a good two mile walk, increase our radius, shake 'em..."  Baldy gets out and takes a whiff of the night air.
