What's the difference between self discovery and self destruction

WHO: Tetsuo Shima and YOU
WHERE: Any city; just place it in the subject line or mention it in a thread. He'll be doing a lot of roaming around.
WHEN: Month of September
WHAT: Catchall open log for chaos or general activities - Tetsuo's been unleashed on America and intends to play garrys mod with it. If you wanted an excuse to fight an out of control psychokinetic, here it is
WARNINGS: General villainy (property damage, violence, possible drug use mentions, theft...) and potentially interrupting Kanedas at the end of threads

[It's a brand new month, and a brand new start; and with it comes so many brand new ways to find trouble.

You can expect to find Tetsuo engaged in normal shenanigans, like any ordinary sixteen year old. Things like threatening natives! Causing accidents or generally ignoring all traffic laws! Raiding drug stores! Hanging around on park benches or generally wandering aimlessly! Suffering from extreme migraines! All this and more in your hometown!

He's taken his motorcycle and psychic powers and hit the streets of America on a quest for ... you know what, we just don't know. The good news is, beyond checking churches for Crane, and making sure that his (glove-covered) wrist could say CRIMINAL from here until forever, he doesn't seem to have any set goals in mind on what to do. All that's clear is he can do what he wants, and he's not taking no for an answer to anything.

Feel free to fight him, talk to him, join in, what have you -- you're free to stop him but he's going to either run at the end if it's clear he can't win, or get you out of the way somehow. If you'd like to change this, talk with me and we can work something out.

I'll throw starters out on request, but please feel free to make your own. If you'd like to fight, check out his permissions first, but this is a general invitation to fight without any preamble or excuses.]

[Allowing Kaneda to come over to support him, he sighs heavily.]

Almost had him too.

[He is just gonna keep holding his arm close to himself.]

Just the arm, but... Rrr.. He nailed me.

[Kaneda's voice is different from the usual cockiness. It's more gentle, timid, even.]

Hey, you're a fight for him, that's what counts, right?

[There's a pause, looking at that arm and then to his bike.]

Anyone you can go to?

[He really doesn't want to drop you off at the hospital, if he can help it. He has trust issues with that place.]

[Shadow nods, huffing slightly while his lips peel back in a mix of anger in pain. Tetsuo wouldn't get the drop on him like that again.]

Y-yeah. RRrrrhnn...

[Wait, who can he go to? For the moment he didn't know.]

Dunno anyone who can set a bone.

[He gives a mirthless chuckle.] A vet hospital?

[Self depraved humor, Kaneda.]

[Kaneda's inspecting that arm more, fingers gingerly touching it. Shadow was a friend, but he was still a lion. Always armed and dangerous.

Well, maybe not armed anymore, amirite.]

Damn, you're really busted bad. I'm gonna see if I can pop this in.

[That is, if Shadow trusts him with that.]

[Careful, boyo. He hisses softly through sharp teeth preemptively. Kaneda probably would pick up on that, but he lets him touch.]

...Heheheh. Didn't see what he clobbered me with, didja?

[The piece of rubble about half the size of a car. Smacking him and sending him flying several yards. Oooh.... Aaah. Not sure if he wants to pop it back in right now. You could probably get the dislocated shoulder back in right though.]

I...Rrr.... Maybe we should go get an x-ray or something.

[His hands hover over the arm at the hiss. Fingers touch it though, trying not to move it too much as he looks to inspect the damage.]

I'll take you, but I wouldn't put too much trust in hospitals.

[Call him a skeptic from personal experience.]

I'm popping this back in, alright?

[His fingers trail to that shoulder. Sorry guess he kinda decided that for you.]

Yeah me either but then you're a certified badass, not a doctor.

[It was less complement, more observation of Kaneda's overall demeanor. He did come off as a guy who had an image to maintain. Just happened that the image was cool.

When Kaneda goes for the shoulder his eyes wince. Certainly he was able to cope with pain, but he wasn't really eager to add more to the pile.

He braces himself and nods to him.]

Rrrgh...

I am, aren't I?

[Soaking in that comment for all it's worth, even if that's the tone given. Credit where credits due, you know?

The soft growl is enough preparation for him, placing his hands around that joint and trying to pretend this was one of his bike members. Don't fuck this up, Kaneda.

You've done this enough.

In one swift motion, he pops that shoulder joint at an angle, a sickening sound the only signal that anything actually happened, and a little wince from Kaneda. He knows he did it...but he wasn't the one having to deal with the actual result of it.]

[Yah sure you are mate, he might have quipped were he feeling it.

But nope, the motion happens quickly and he lets out a guttural snarl, pained and strained and a little savage. He almost wanted to throw Kaneda right off of him, but his paw goes to his arm and he moves his shoulder some. It was back in place. Now the only trouble was the actual broken bone.

He holds his arm still close to his side, still growling softly at Kaneda for the pain he in part caused. Give him a few minutes, his powers need to kick back in.

In the mean time he lowers himself onto his haunches to rest a moment, exhaling sharply.]

[Despite being able to put a shoulder back into position, this is his first time doing it on a lion, so needless to say, he's ready to wrestle should Shadow not take too kindly to his work. He scoots back a little at the snarl, fists instinctively up as that paw comes up. Only relaxing when he sees it grip his arm instead of...well, Kaneda himself.

Once he sees that he's not going to be the target, he loosens up, hand reaching out to help his friend.]

That's one, right?

One I owe you?

[A huff from his nose, but he takes the help as offered and nods. He'll owe Kaneda... Or really when you think about it he did stick his neck out already for Kaneda.]

Or aren't we even now?

[All he can do is offer a small chuckle.]

You've got my thanks, bruv.

One out of two problems you got to deal with.

[Granted, he'll keep this in mind--cause he did warn you about Tetsuo, bro, but he has a feeling that it'll even out naturally. Shadow already had that vibe of someone he could turn to.]

I guess I could let you off this time as an even.

[He gestures to the motorcycle.]

Your chariot awaits.

[His response is merely a low rumble, or grunt. He doesn't really put much thought into it. Being even did have it's perks.]

Or you can just come over for supper and we feed you. [In which case it would be more than even, Kaneda would owe him then.

Then his eyes fall on the moterbike, getting a real solid look at the thing.]

Dude, that's so swag.

[Oh Shadow, you know how to woo the leader of the Capsules. His dark eyes seem to practically light up, hand reaching to help support the lion should he need it.]

Yeah? I never turn down free food!

[His lips can't help but curl up at the compliment. That's his pride and joy right there, Shadow. And it shows in the way his eyes set on it.]

It's one of a kind, you know. Customized it myself.

[Good man, Kaneda. Meanwhile he's still focused on the bike as he approaches, just sort of admiring it.]

M' impressed. Even cooler that it's red.

[Look at what he's wearing. A red and black hoodie. Basically blended right into it. With that, he moved to board it.] Where do you put your feets?

[It's hard not to admire, Kaneda'll admit to that. Then again, there's something to be said about that boy's ego.]

You gotta make it stand out, you know?

And a bike says a lot about you.

[To which he gestures to himself. Granted, he didn't have the jacket on him right now, but the rest of him seemed to speak for it.]

It's an extension of yourself.

All I got as an extension is my clothes. And I tore them up at the swear in.

[Dude not having his real hoodie, the one he made himself? That sucked. Someone needs to make him a new one.]

Don't go over any bumps.

[Clothes for lions...he honestly didn't even consider how awkward that must be trying to find. Maybe they'll find a seamstress to edit regular clothes.]

It'll be a smooth ride, trust me.

[He helps Shad into the back of the chair, letting him rest against it before he takes a seat himself, gesturing for Shadow to wrap his one good arm around so he doesn't fall off.]

[Just a little positioning, he gets his now stiff and swollen arm to rest on his knee, wincing a little as he turned his claws into the fabric of his pants, then wrapped his arm around Kaneda's waist, gripping him with his pawhand.

He supposed he had just enough graceful catitude not to fall off on the first turn.]

Alright. M'ready.

[It's the first time a clawed hand has held on, so there's a little muscle tension--not to mention that it's still a bit sore from hanging off the overpass. Kaneda's just set for life to be bruised.

He adjusts to it after a second, though, leaning forward to open up the nav screen.]

House? Or vet?

[Flashing a smirk back his way.]

[Too bad you don't have the healing power, bro. Shadow winces at that and frowns slightly.]

Should try the hospital. Even if they'll give us hell.

[It'd sure make HIS life a lot easier, that's for sure.]

...

[Well, it's Shadow's call, not his, but he's going to watch you like a hawk til you're settled.]

Hospital it is. Hold on.

[There's a flick of his finger, setting the coordinates as his hands rev the engine via the handlebars, the bike roaring to life.]

[He gets the paranoia. If he had ever used the Mediport tech he'd lifted off a soldier once he'd probably have been captured and sent back to that hell of a school. Trained to be a killer for Recluse's evil, and in a way it was already too late.

So he holds on, claws piercing the skin in his knee despite knowing his partner in crime here wouldn't drive stupid and fuck him up even more. They were soon on their way.]
