The female's gaze flickered over the other, her field of vision looking over him, almost curious as to what he might be doing. The fellow seemed distressed over the rejection of the creation, but Kajira didn't mind, so much. She had been visibly distressed by the bug-like navi, and hence any reminder of that would weigh upon her. Her eyes closed for a moment before opening them again. She was quiet, still, as she watched him.
As he finished his work, the woman blinked, not realizing that the other was actually building a full mural into the wall. The other merely walked off at that point, leaving Kajira alone with the depiction of her form amidst the lightning and thunder. Above was the other navi, the insect, and the woman couldn't help to give a small grimace of disappointment.
She did not want that there.
Lightning arced down her arm, extending from her hand as it struck the brick, coating it in a layer of black. Now it merely seemed like she had smote something in the mural.
She glanced to the side at B.o.B.'s retreating back, seeing the Navi lost in his own thoughts before shaking her head.

*Down the moonlit streets a short way, a commotion rises within one of the bistros that line the avenue. From within what appears to be a classic Irish pub, loud crashing and yelling resounds and echoes, painting an obvious picture of what's going on inside; an outright brawl. Glass shatters, wood breaks, and the general sounds of Navis having their faces made concave combines with the rapidly shifting shadows that the shop's windows cast and the yells and grunts of those involved to add a bit more detail to this quirky painting; three Navis are the center of the ruckus from the sound of it, with two ganged up against one. The sounds and sights continue for several minutes, growing steadily louder, until at last silence returns. A few seconds later, the doors fling open and three Navis are pushed out into the shadows of the otherwise peaceful streets*
Shopkeep: How many times do I have to tell 'ya?! If you're gunna' fight, then take it outside and spare 'me pub!
*Among the three Navis that were pushed out, only one remains standing. Standing a hair over six feet tall and dressed in black and red cloth armor, the dark red haired Navi stumbles back and shoots a mischievous grin to the shop keeper*
Challenger: Ah, c'mon! I was just havin' a bit a'fun! And besides, I saved 'ya from bein robbed by these two, didn't I?
*With his black boxing gloves, Challenger grips and lifts the two Navis that he had been fighting with, both heel Navis very obviously from the undernet, by the back of the neck and tosses their thoroughly unconscious bodies into the street*
Challenger: Th' way I see it, y'should be thankin' me!
*The shopkeep, a large Navi horizontally, shakes his head and motions with his thumb over his shoulder*
Shopkeep: Thankin 'ya now? Isn't it enough that I have to repair m'shop for th' third time this month?!
*Challenger raises a gloved hand, leans toward the shop-keep a bit, and shoots him a proud smile*
Challenger: Ah, but better t'repair a bit than be robbed blind!
*The shop-keep raises his arms and waves off Challenger with both hands, releasing a loud expression of dismissal as he does so*
Shopkeep: Bah! Fine! Y'have me' thanks! But next time, just remember t'take it outside!
*Challenger laughs aloud as the shopkeep turns and goes back inside, locking up shop for repairs. Following suit, the Magnum Champion turns back to the two Navis that he had beaten earlier, both still unconscious on the ground. Taking a few steps to where he had tossed them, Challenger walks between the duo of heel Navis, bends down, and slaps them on the back a few times with a resounding slam. Satisfied and obviously happy with himself, the boxer sits between the two Navis with a laugh, shakes his head, and looks up to the ever-present moon in the sky*

As a navi atop a building cranked his amp up to 11, and started playing his guitar, dark bolts of lightning shot down from the sky, converging on the center of this particular locale. Ever hear that lightning never strikes the same place twice? This time it did. However, this was only one target. While everyone would likely be distracted by the light show, a single bolt strayed from this course and shot off towards the power junction for the area. If it reached it's target, the area would likely go dark, leaving only emergency lights to illuminate main thoroughfares.
"Now, let's have a little fun, shall we kids?"
Blackout's face appeared on screens presented to navis all over this section of the net.
"Right now, there is a vital point of this area of the net being endangered by a stray bolt of lightning. Whoever stops it from reaching it's target gets a prize!"
A prize indeed, the bolt of lightning carried with it a Dark Chip just waiting to be claimed.
((OOC: any dark chips I give away are Plot devices and cannot be used in stats battles, or non-story RP))

*Challenger continues to lounge just off the main street as Blackout attempts to perform his name-sake. A small "blip" resounds from the general area of his arm as the message is intercepted by the boxer's popup-blocker, leaving him unaware of what was going on elsewhere*

B.o.B. walked about minding its own thoughts towards a noisy pub, then three shapes where tossed out the front door. B.o.B. could see a navi yelling at the three now outside and then attempting to shoo them off. "More fights?...maybe this place was not as peaceful as I had originally presumed..." B.o.B. walked up towards the group of navis on the ground when suddenly a message went across the network. B.o.B. stopped in its tracks looking upward. "A prize?...could be interesting..." Command Order-Build B.o.B. placed its left hand on the ground sharply. Then a stone tower shot up from beneath B.o.B., shooting B.o.B. upwards into the air. B.o.B. scanned the sky immediately seeing a spectacular show of lightning bolts. Strangely there was one shooting off in another direction. "There!..." Command Order-Build Crash Shot A tiny thread of data shot to intercept the lightning just before reaching its target a stone cube materialized. *BOOM* the lighting struck the cube shattering the cube into pieces, but stopping the lightning. "Perfe...oops..." Only concerned with stopping the lightning B.o.B. had forgotten to figure out a landing plan. Now plummeting back down head first towards the group of navi's in front of the pub, a red ! displayed on B.o.B.'s face plate.

*Still sitting, Challenger continues to enjoy the night with the fruit of his previous battle still laying by his sides, blissfully unaware of the happenings on the street. That is, until a stone pillar shoots up out of the ground like a rocket. The noise and shaking startles the boxer Navi and causes him to bolt forward a few feet while he tries to focus on what had happened. And that's when he sees the beginning of B.o.B's descent*
Challenger: ....oh boy.
*He didn't have time to examine the situation, or try to figure out if this Navi had a way to land, or anything else for that matter. Now was a time to leap before you look. And, fortunately, that had always been one of Challenger's strong points.
Dashing from his seated position with a hop, challenger runs with surprising speed down the streets, passing through the crowds as he does so with an apology for every Navi that he all but rams into along the way. With almost no time to spare, challenger reaches the point where B.o.B. is to fall and stands ready*
Challenger: Ah, th'boy's got too much momentum on 'im... gunna' 'ave to get creative...
*With his hands out, Challenger stands ready and catches B.o.B. right before he reaches the ground. However, this catch was very short-lived. With his body poised to the side and ready, Challenger grabs B.o.B. by his torso and swings him down and then back in an arc, transferring his downward momentum to upward momentum and tossing him just under half of the height that he had fallen before. The object-manipulator then reaches the apex of the toss and falls back to Challenger, who catches B.o.B. in a more traditional sense this time, quickly setting him on the ground and brushing him off*
Challenger: That was quite a fall, 'lad! Sorry 'bout 'th game of fly-ball, but if I'd tried to catch 'ya normally 'th first time, we'd both have been flatter'n a pancake!
*Challenger laughs heartily and slaps B.o.B. on the back before stepping back and looking him over*
Challenger: Ah, great design 'ya got there! Goin' for a 200X theme, I see. It works well on 'ya!
*Challenger laughs again, still filled with adrenaline from the fight and catching this Navi. However, he suddenly realizes that his accent was beginning to show through, so he holds his rambunctious laughter to a proud grin, regaining his composure as he does so*
Challenger: So what were you doing clear up there? Seems a bit of a ways to go without a parachute!

As the two landed, a voice could be heard behind B.o.B.
"Good show, you've earned this."
Blackout walked in front of the construction navi and handed him a base dark chip before walking off.

B.o.B. saw bellow it what looked to be a...Boxer Navi? "No no get out of the way it will hur..." and then B.o.B. was back in the air B.o.B. displayed a red  ? on its face plate. "Wait what?..."But before B.o.B. could think more it was coming down once again. Only this time when it landed it was in the arms of the boxer navi. After being set down and brushed off B.o.B. looked up still showing the same display. "Hmm...first helpful stranger..." B.o.B: "Thank you...had to get the lightning...forgot needed to land..." And then a voice from behind B.o.B. caused it to turn around to see a navi walk up and then hand B.o.B. a dark chip and then walked off again. B.o.B. turned back to face its catcher looking at the dark chip not knowing what it was. Command Order-Break B.o.B. shattered the dark chip into analyzable material data. Then dark data flowed through B.o.B. "Oh its that kind of prize...too easy...I wont fall for this..." Command Order-Build in B.o.B's left hand now appeared an obsidian black cube polished and shiny. B.o.B. tossed it over its shoulder. B.o.B. now looked up directly at the boxer like navi B.o.B.:"I B.o.B....you?..." pointing to itself and then towards the other navi subsequently extending its right hand to shake the other navi's...hand?...glove?...

*...and with that, Challenger all but puffed up like a balloon with happiness. not only had this Navi destroyed and thrown away the dark chip, he also held out his hand to shake; a greeting all too commonly ignored in this day and age.
Challenger throws his arm to the side in an exaggerated manner and slaps his gloved palm against B.o.B.'s, taking it with a firm grip and and shaking it strong and vigorously. This was already a happy meeting*
Challenger: A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Bobby! My name's Challenger, and I am glad to know 'ya!
*The nickname came about entirely innocently, as reflected on Challenger's beaming face. He had no clue that it might not be appropriate, and was just glad to meet a Navi who presents himself in such a forward and direct manner. With another hearty laugh, challenger releases B.o.B. from his grip and takes a step back, giving the Navi some personal space*
Challenger: Lightning, eh?
*Challenger takes a quick look around the area, seeing no real evidence of a lightning strike. This observation could only possibly mean one thing*
Challenger: Well, looks like 'ya caught it then! Did 'ya save it in a bottle for later?
*Challenger laughs again, obviously entertained by his mildly amusing joke, but more than that it's obvious that he's just happy to have someone around to talk with. While the Magnum Champion was capable of being alone, he'd always by far preferred the company of someone that he could have a rousing conversation with. Either that or have a good fight with, whichever came first*

The navi proclaimed its name to be Challenger and shook B.o.B.'s hand violently. "Bobby...hmm...sufficient... I like it..." B.o.B: "Bottle?..." B.o.B.'s head tilting to the side,B.o.B.:"I'm sorry...I don't quite understand...did you want the lightning?..." B.o.B. who usually didn't talk or interact much with other navis felt clumsy and awkward at the remark. "Did I make a mistake...was I supposed to keep the lightning some how...difficult...." B.o.B. began to fidget a little with its left hand nervously...

A white flash presents a stark contrast with the eternal night of the network. A navi appears from the flash, his mirrored armor reflecting the dark around him, streaked with light from the moon.
Looking around he thinks to himself how much he wished he had come to this place sooner.
"Endless night. What a wonderful theme for a network."
He surveys his immediate vicinity, taking in the architecture, especially admiring the cobblestone streets. He soon notices the boxer navi and the strange navi in his company. With nothing else to do, and a desire for conversation after having the dialogue with Iscon cut short, MirrorMan approaches the duo.
"Hello to you! Pleasant evening we're having" he chuckles at his own joke. "I'm sorry to intrude on you like this, but I've been in a friendly mood today, and you two look like you have some stories to tell!"
As he says this, MirrorMan dematerializes his mirrored helmet, revealing his face, with dull grey eyes, still calm and friendly, his short white hair ruffled by a small breeze.
"The name's MirrorMan, but that's just a formality. Mirror's just fine, if you like." he smiles at the two while extending a hand to shake, to neither of them in particular, hoping one of them would accept the introduction and that he hadn't just made a fool of himself. |

Challenger laughs again at B.o.B's comments, throwing a slap across the object manipulator's back in a good natured show. The Navi hadn't gotten the reference, but Challenger couldn't blame him; he himself had probably missed hundreds of such references in his lifetime
Challenger: No, no. Y'see, it's just an old expression; "lightning in a bottle". 'Ya don't actually catch it, Bobby. Don't worry.
And then came Mirror. Oh, this day was getting better and better. Another Navi coming right out and introducing himself! Challenger puffs up and takes the initiative, shaking Mirror's hand vigorously before giving B.o.B. a chance to do the same, an action brought about by pure excitement rather than anything else.
Challenger: A friendly mood is the best kind, Mirror! It's a real pleasure to meet 'ya! My name is Challenger, and this is Bobby!
*Challenger's face breaks to an expression thoughtfulness for a moment as he introduces B.o.B, then it returns to a bright smile as he wraps an arm around the object manipulator and pulls him over*
Challenger: But he can introduce himself to 'ya! Sorry about that, Bobby!
*It's at this moment that Juno's message comes across, with the obvious intent of causing as much wide-spread deletion as possible. After it's over, Challenger simply rolls his eyes and shrugs, releasing Mirror and B.o.B. from his grip as he does so*
Challenger: Well, here we go again, I suppose. Another megalomaniac trying to manipulate the world to do what he wants.
*Challenger then dismisses the message and waves it off, his infectious smile returning as he does so*
Challenger: Well, I've nothing to prove, so I think I'll just sit out on his games. Besides, talkin' with friends is just as much fun as fightin' any day!

Challenger rapped across B.o.B.'s back assuring B.o.B. that it had not made a mistake and simply had misunderstood. Just then a new navi appeared introducing itself as Mirror. "Mirror....hmm...looks cool... I like that armor...so well polished..." Challenger shook mirrors hand and then introduced the pair, before B.o.B. could reach out and shake Mirror's hand Challenger had wrapped his arm around B.o.B. and pulled B.o.B. in close a red ! displayed on B.o.B.'s face plate. B.o.B: "I am B.o.B. ..." And then a message went over the net received by all including B.o.B. "...hmm...troublesome...my last prize turned out to be uninteresting...not worth the trouble..." Challenger released B.o.B. shrugging, obviously having also just received the message a tension filled the air, but was immediately broken by challengers next words. Challenger had proclaimed B.o.B. a friend "...Friend...he thinks I'm his friend...we are friends...I have a friend..." B.o.B. stood up tall to its full height feeling a sense of joy. B.o.B.:"...friends.." said B.o.B. quietly almost under its breath. "...this fight could be interesting though...maybe if I stick with these two I can find something interesting..." After a short pause B.o.B. spoke up, B.o.B.:"...net will become unstable for awhile...dangerous to go alone...we stick together?" B.o.B.'s eye's flicked on staring out at the other two navis, now innocently believing them to be comrades after such a short exchange. |

Mirror couldn't help but smile. Challenger's jolly mood was contagious.
"A pleasure to meet you both, Challenger, B.o.B."
Taking a moment to ponder the strange message they had just received, Mirror listens as Challenger and B.o.B. speak their minds on the subject.
"I'd have to agree, Challenger. Sitting out would be the preferable option. But I've been around enough to know things could get hairy, even if we decide to sit this one out. So I think..." he turns and nods at B.o.B. "...that B.o.B. is right. We should stick together, just in case anyone comes our way and tries to disrupt this great gathering we've got here!"
Mirror flashes a smile of his own, but reminds himself that things were balanced on a knife's edge now. Best to stay on guard. |

Kajira, who had been merely brooding for the past several minutes, caught wind of a rather...raucous voice. She blinked, the loudness and harshness pulling her from her self-inflicted reverie, the woman's eyes flickering about as she tried to pinpoint the source.
Moving, she flit through the alleyways like a small shadow, until she happened upon B.o.B., and then two other, unfamiliar Navi. No, not entirely unfamiliar. She knew Challenger from the occasional ONB report. He wasn't malicious by any stretch, but he enjoyed fighting. He'd broken up some brawls merely by knocking the rest unconscious.
He wasn't anywhere near a perpetrator, but he was still one they kept on an eye on, due to his tendency to just...show up whenever there was a fight. She had expected him to be a touch less...loud, however.
As she was about to turn, finding no issue here, suddenly the notice from Juno entered her mailbox.
Blake: Did you-
Kajira: Yeah. I'm backing out of-
The woman paused, looking back to the group. Challenger was skilled, and B.o.B. had been able to at least stalemate that...creature.
Kajira: Correction, there are civilians here. I'll try
to ensure their safety.
Blake: Roger. Be careful. I'll hit you up if I get any
information.
Kajira nodded to herself, before moving to the group, hands folded behind her back. "Evening, gentlemen. B.o.B.," she spoke, nodding to the three. "Interesting times we're in."
