March 11th. In the bustling city of Toronto, Canada, the cities inhabitants are beginning to recover from the bitterness left by the winter, and prepare for a fast approaching spring. Students at Mapleview Academy have already began to settle into their second semester classes, and with March Break kicking off the weekend, the partying has only just begun.
Joyner Johari:
*Casually walking down the steps of the schools front doors. Along the way, Joyner is seen conversing with classmates, as well as talking with friends before making his way towards a secluded path leading through a nearby neighbourhood. While walking, Joyner notices two men (probably in their 20's) harassing a fellow classmate.*
Thug 1 (Jahseh):
So, you said you were gonna pay for it? I wanna see the actual fucking money bastard!
Random Student:
I -It's in my bag… Here it is! *Reaches into his bag, pulling out a large wad of $20 bills.*
Thug 2 (Stokely):
There we go. And while we're at it, why don't we supply you with your next purchase *Slaps a large bag of Cloves into the boys hands.*
Random Student:
Hey uh- I don't think I can afford to keep paying for this… Can't you just give this to someone else?
Thug 1 (Jahseh):
What's that?! *Grabs Student by the collar of his shirt* If you think you can try to get out of this like that then your wrong you fucking idiot! Do you think we're stupid or something!
Thug 2 (Stokely):
Look. You know we have an arrangement kid. We give you the goods, and you supply us with the cash. You've already made some pretty large purchases, so if you can't back it up with cash, we might have to pay you and your family a visit y'know!
*Joyner begins walking towards the scene, drawing the attention of the two thugs and the student.*
Thug 1 (Jahseh):
Hey you! *Points at Joyner* What the hell are you looking at dumbass?! Why don't you just mind your own fucking business- *Thug 1 suddenly goes flying across the sidewalk, landing face first in the mud.*
Thug 2 (Stokely):
Hey… Wait a second. What the hell just happened! *Pulls out a small pistol from pants pocket and points it at Joyner* Stay the fuck away from me you hear! Don't get any closer! I'm warning you asshole!
Joyner Johari:
*As Joyner begins to speak and slowly walk closer, the Thug flinches in fear.*
You types are always the same huh? Can't any of you learn to just stop letting these people push you around. *The Student looks shocked when he realizes Joyner is speaking to him.* You need to learn to stand up for yourselves. Because one day people like me aren't going to be there to look out for you.
Thug 2 (Stokely):
*Thug 2 raises the gun once again with his finger to the trigger.*
AHHHHHH! I TOLD YOU NOT TO GET ANY FUCKING CLOSER YOU PRICK!
*Thug 2 pulls the trigger, firing a barrage of shots at Joyner, as Thug 2's senses begin to feel like their slowing down.*
Joyner Johari:
*Joyner doesn't flinch at the incoming bullets and continues to walk towards them. A ghostly arm suddenly appears, swatting away at the incoming bullets, causing them to spiral away. It seems that only Joyner is able to see this conjuration, as the Thug is left completely dumbfounded.*
And as for you. Did you really think a gun was gonna save you? Well, I guess you couldn't have known any better. But that doesn't mean you get a pass, because I can't stand excuses.
*A ghostly figure appears in front of Joyner, and once again it seems that he's the only one who can see it. Thug 2 slumps to the ground while simultaneously dropping his gun, trembling in shock and fear.*
For you, there's only one type of judgement. And I can tell you, your not gonna like it.
[NEON GUTZ]!
*The ghostly figure unleashes a barrage of punches onto the Thug in an act of both anger and disgust. By the end of it, the Thugs body is left broken, and tossed next to his friend, both now unconscious.*
As for you! *Joyner points to the fleeing student, who's already made it halfway down the sidewalk.* Cut the stupid shit! If I see you talking to these guys or trying to get any sorta high off this shit again *Joyner waves the bag of Cloves.* You'll end up just like these guys over here!
Random Student:
I-I promise I won't ever do it again! Thanks!
*The kid yells out before finally leaving the path, leaving only the thugs and Joyner, who was now walking home in the opposite direction. The bag of cloves left behind with the two thugs.*
