Future Amanda in Tokyo

[immortalthief]

Across the table from her sits a short man who is absolutely red in the face. Amanda sits crosslegged in her seat, "Really I don't know what you think  I've done." 

The man turns and yells at the uniformed woman who leaves the room for a few moments and then returns with a screen and a video tape which he plays for Amanda who starts laughing. The  man looks even more irritated, "You think this is funny?"

"Yes." she retorts, "I would never be caught dead wearing something so tacky."

"This is clearly you." he points to her on the screen.

"I am pretty sure I would remember something like that." though she does think it looks like fun. He yells and the uniformed woman who had been adverting her eyes from the scene on the video comes forward and binds Amanda's hand. Taking her elbow she has Amanda stand and escorts her to a holding cell. The man takes a few deep breaths calming himself. "We shall see if you are still amused after sitting in your new home." And off he and the woman go.

Amanda looks around, "Hmm interesting."

"We shall." Amanda walks over to the window just as the door at the end of the hall begins to open. She hears it, "Oh no." she works with Ryu to quickly get her out of the cell. Amanda looks like she has done this before and when she is outside Ryu may notice that she does indeed look identical to Amanda though her eyes may see a little older.

The ninja (because it is a ninja, no doubts there) hangs upside-down from a safety line. He is strong, and can offer Amanda very good support against the wall of the building while sliding the window back in place.

"Up". They have mere moments before her abscence is noticed, and up is the logical path for an escapee, since the obvious one would be down, to escape.

Amanda nods having no problem with going up she takes ahold of the rope and starts to climb swiftly. She could almost be a ninja herself with such speed, perhaps because mere seconds after she started to climb had the alarm going off. A head pokes out of the window looking down to try and find them.

Ryu follows badind her, tossing a something down to make noise in a very dark spot of the side street below; with the police properly distracted, they can make their way to the roof without problems. "And here we are."

[immortalthief]

"Wonderful." she looks around, "So where are the gliders?" because he brought gliders...right?

[falconryu.livejournal.com]

"The buildings do not let good wind here." His eyes shine with mirth, and he beckons Amanda closer. "Come."

[immortalthief]

Amanda does as he asks unable to hide the grin, curious what he has in mind. "Very well." she knows that they need to hurry she can hear the police on on the street and it's only a matter of time before they head upwards.

The shinobi picks her up in strong arms, does a quiock dash, and leaps across an ally to the next building... and then jumps again, and again, each one a bit longer than the last. Five leaps, and the fifth is to a fire escape, from there to a ledge and back, efortessly carrying Amanda away from downtown.

[immortalthief]

Amanda is impressed and doesn't say anything until the have landed on the fire escape not wanting to draw any unwanted attention to them.

"May I have the honor of knowing the name of my rescuer?" she asks before they get started heading down the fire escape.

[falconryu.livejournal.com]

"The rescue is not finished yet... But you can call me Ryu." They can get to the street easily, where a car is waiting, and Ryu can change into normal street clothes quickly.

[immortalthief]

"Nice to meet you." she doesn't repeat his name for security reasons. She makes her ways down to the lowest level of the fire escape where she takes hold of the railing, swinging herself over it, jumping to the floor. Bending at the knee's.

Ryu lands gracefully beside her... and guides Amanda to the car.

There is a bit of eye-candy for her, while he gets out of the shinobi ensemble and into normal clothes. "May I take you anywhere specific?"

[immortalthief]

Amanda watches him vaguely as she gets into the car. She thinks for a moment, "There is a temple" she rattles off a location. "I have a friend there." she can't help but wonder, "Where is your friend?" she really wants to meet her double thinking of all the trobule they can get into.

[falconryu.livejournal.com]

"Have not seen in a long while. No idea where she is right now." Ryu gets in the car, and drives off with her.

[immortalthief]

Amanda nods, "That's too bad. I would have like to have met her before I left the country." she had had other plans but if she is wanted by the police they wont pan out this time.

"Thank you for your help." considering, "I'd like to have a chance to play with you again."

[falconryu.livejournal.com]

The man flashes a smile to her; no, a grin.

She might recognize the man who was in that video... "Really? When I play, I play wild."

[immortalthief]

"So I saw." grinning, "And really is there any other way to play?" she laughs.

[falconryu.livejournal.com]

"Not when you live live dangerously..." Watching this Amanda a bit... so perfectly, exactly like the Amanda he knew.

[immortalthief]

Yes she seems every bit the same Amanda, only more educated. "I prefer to call it living an interesting life."

[falconryu.livejournal.com]

Deja Vú... "You know the chinese say it like a curse... may you live in interesting times." They had this same conversation before.

Almost the same exact words too.

[immortalthief]

"Yes, I have heard it many times and I don't think that the Chinese ever imagined some of the interesting things that I have seen."

[falconryu.livejournal.com]

"I am inclined to say they saw much more than what you can imagine... they have thousands of years of history, seeing things, believing in things. While europeans marked the unknown areas of the world with a warning, 'here be dragons', the chinese went there to meet the great wyrms."

[immortalthief]

Amanda laughs, "Belive me no matter how much time a peoples have doesn't change the fact that there are some things that would suprise even them."

"I could never help but be curious about the great wyrms." what treasures they must have.

[falconryu.livejournal.com]

"They are... impressive, I don't think one can explain a Dragon." Ryu chuckles low. "You have to see for yourself."

[immortalthief]

"Do you know where I might be able to meet on of these dragons?" she looks eager and doesn't know what else to do with herself. She needs to see something strange, she misses that.
