Upon following Thadeus Becile's orders one of our foes of the loved Walter crew The Skull goes to fetch his fellow rust bucket bots from the market. It has already been past the arranged time to be back at the manor but as usual the Hare and Jack are late.
Smog and steam escape the Skull's mouth as his boiler fumes from wondering the market during its busiest time. The horrible fumes cause most of the meat bags walking around him to get out of his ay as well as his crude demeanor. Unfortunately some aren't paying enough attention…..
BAM! Skulls hat is blow off from impact and a little help from the wind.
In an instant a Child is hanging from the grip of the Skulls grip as it digs into the tattered rags the boy is wearing after he bumps into him. "Watch where you're going meat bag." Smog swirls out of his mouth into the boys lungs his gears grinding together in detest.
"I..i…i…I'm sss..so…sorry" coughs "sorry s..ssir," the boy wiggles in the tight grasp he is caught in. the boys face dirty and a new black eye coming to light from a previous encounter not minutes before.
The Skull noticing his hat gone by this moment drops the boy. "Beat it kid." He hovers over the boy as another long stream of smog leaves his pipes escapes "Don't let me see ya again." The boy scrambles back his chest bruising from the heat that had came off the Skulls fingers when a hold of him. Nodding he turns and dashing back into the safety of the busy crowd.
Gears and loose bits clank together as He looks around "Now where's hat and those dame idiots?"
15 minutes later
He walks along through the market to feel a tug at his shirt. He stalls for a second from surprise; turning quickly to give whoever it was a piece of his fist for bothering him so stop at the sight of two large blue eyes staring up at him. A woman with short, blue tipped hair and a white lab coat dress stud before him holding up his considerably large hat in front of her, head tilted to the side a bit as she looks up at him. "Is this yours by chance?" She speaks just loud enough for him to hear.
He blinks a bit as he was just staring at her, he grabs his hat from her "Tis my hat." He looks down at her with his blank expression. She smiles and releases it as he takes it and without another word turns and disappears back into the crowd.
He stands there a few moments just clutching his hat. Bounding with excitement a wild Jack appears with much force onto the Skulls back.
"God dame it Jack!" his gears screech as he is forced down into a crouch as the force from Jake pushes him down. He flings jack off of him and wraps his long phalanges around his neck in a tight vice grip. The Jack laughs in hysterics as small black steam coves out of his mouth.
"Now where is your dead beat brother", the Skull exclaims.
Hare comments behind him "I'm right behind ya bone for brains, now get cha hands off Jake."
Skull looks back at him "Master Thadeus has ordered ya both back." He turns to face Hare straight on still holding onto Jake so he can't run off. "Get cha ass's back to the manor."
"All right, all right The Skull lets go." He glares at Skull then looks down at his brother. "Come on Jake lets go." Jake slips hastily from Skulls grip like it was child's play and runs off in front of them back toward the manor still laughing but a few of his belongings not making it far with him as he takes them off.
The Skull and Hare follow after him as they pick up the clothing to force them back on him once they are home.
