Gem in Black
Not far above, in the catwalks over the warehouse, a lithe dark shape that might have a lick of flame jutting from its neck snap-coils his zip line and scampers out a nearby window.
Rubens: Got the statue. *moonsaults to next building* Hopefully 'Laz got the middling details taken care of this time.
Mantis-Ant: SKRAAAAHHHHHKK!!
Rubens: *jaw dropping* Looks like that's a negative.
Mantis-Ant: HRAWK!!! *snatches Rubens*
As the overgrown insect prepares to make a quick snack out of the hapless Jumi, another darksuited figure attempts to stealthily drop in behind the two. He succeeds at the dropping part.
Elazul: *whump* Oof! *rubs his sore tush*
Rubens: 'LAZ!!!
Elazul: *Leaping to his feet* Hey, I've got a riddle for you, big and ugly!
Mantis-Ant: SWRAWK?
Elazul *levels an arbalest between its eyes* What's bleeding profusely and can't find its head?
Mantis-Ant: WAAAAAAAAAAAWWWKKK!!
The camera discreetly avoids the Mantis Ant as Elazul pulls the trigger of his arbalest. Rubens falls onto the tiles unceremoniously, covered in bug brain goo. The decapitated insect crumples.
Rubens: You missed that one. If it hadn't almost mangled my arm, I'd slap you upside the head.
Elazul: Yeah, well you have this zip-line stuff down more than I. You're lucky you didn't come out to a general alert. Get to the ground.
