7 days since the Rap battle
Zed sat as statue on a rooftop, silent in this moment. The moon cast a half light on the buildings of the institute, an ethereal scene that was beautiful in its dark stillness. Zed was not known for being a social creature, only keeping in contact with the dark sovereign Syndra. It was a relationship of mutual benefit in his opinion, she provided his clan with a source of work and he provided her a service with a mutually beneficial outcome, after all they shared the same enemies. He frowned to himself, it had become more complex than that. She looked to him for guidance in many different areas of her life and he obliged. She could become more trouble than she was worth, it was dangerous to become attached in any manner to someone in his line of work. He might need to dispose of her soon.
His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone getting thrown through a window. He opened his eyes to view the institute's bar, The Explosive Cask to see Shen picking himself up off the floor and trudge back inside for the third time this night. The master of shadows allowed himself a smile, maybe she had her uses after all.
Jayce let out a cool laugh before sipping his martini. While the majority of the bar was full with Noxians, Freljordians and other riff-raff, he had selected a private booth with none other than the sheriff of Piltover. They were engaging in some pleasant, civilized conversation about the future of Piltover in the larger context of Valoran, and how creating a multicultural society would benefit both the sources of ingenuity and opportunity within Piltover.
"…and that's why I believe that equal opportunity exchange with Bandle city would be overall beneficial to both nations." Jayce finished. His argument was well thought out and presented, there was nothing but thought provoking insight, Caitlyn would admire his world view and sophistication. She would definitely have to consider him as a suitor befitting her status. A distracting cheer came across the bar.
"You have obviously thought about this considerably Jayce. It might be a detective's insight but I believe you had planned this entire evening quite meticulously in order to portray yourself in the best possible light." She said with a smirk. Jayce let out a cool laugh. A whooping cheer came from the bar again.
"Well I would expect no less fr-" A less than sober Vi came crashing into the conversation.
"Heya cupcake!" she looked at Jayce. "Sup James bland. So anyway Cupcake, I'm playing truth or dare with the Noxians, and Darius just dared LeBlanc to make out with herself." As if on queue a righteous cheer exploded from the bar. Caitlyn's face went several shades of red. "Come on hurry up or we'll miss it!" Vi grabbed Caitlyn's hand and tried to pull her up.
"Now hold on here!" Jayce grabbed Vi's arm "We were talking!"
Vi's glare held promise of grievous bodily harm. "Remove the hand shit stick."
Jayce was not one to be intimidated, he always had his mercury hammer on hand, just in case the day needed saving, and Vi wasn't wearing her gloves. The facts gave him bravery.
"You are in the wrong here, Vi if you wish to spend time with Caitlyn you'll have to arrange it some other time." Jayce wanted to maintain the moral high ground, Caitlyn would appreciate that. Vi looked at him like he was stupid.
"I'll put this simply fuck face. Get off me now, or I'll give you physical disabilities to match your mental ones." Jayce was a cool guy. But not this cool.
"If you want to fight I can oblige you. You think you can waltz in here and ruin our evening like you ruin Piltover think again." Vi let go of Caitlyn and Jayce let go of Vi and Picked up the mercury cannon
"Now now, Ah don't think that violence is really the answer here." Tahm Kench waddled into view.
"The fuck do you want fish." Vi growled.
"That's hardly necessary morsel, I just want to provide a way to sort out your differences without you two getting removed from the league." Tahm leered.
