♦♦ 3rd Contract
[ Now is his chance. ]
[ The City is still caught up in the recent snowy curse. The distraction affords ideal cover to make his move. Sneaking into the Deities' Office is a challenge. But not impossible. As Li, he's scouted the outside on seemingly harmless walks. By nightfall, masked, clad in a black bodysuit, he's gauged the security system. Checking for weak-spots. With time and observation, he's determined a vulnerability near the corner exit. ]
[ And slipped through. ]
[ He needs information on these 'Deities'. They appear - ostensibly - to be the string-pullers. More details must be gathered about their history. Not via direct attack, but careful machinations. Whatever allows him to return to his world. Find Pai. ]
[ But his opponents have other plans. ]
[ And armed guards to carry them out. ]
Hold it right there - !
[ Sounds of scuffling. Someone's device clatters to the floor. From its crooked angle, a group of security guards is seen. Facing off against a masked figure. The image only lasts a moment. In a flash, the intruder lunges at the guards. Strobelike flashes of gunshots. Clang and sparks of knives. The ensuing firestorm blurs the feed. Until there's eerie blue flashes and dull zzzts. In the next beat, all the guards slump motionless. Out cold? Or dead? ]
[ No way to know. Offscreen, more thudding footsteps resound. A new team of guards rushes in, weapons at the ready. ]
[ But the intruder is already gone ]
Spread out! [ a guard orders ] Find the bastard! Now!

[ OOC: So! Hei broke into the Deity Office for classified info to escape the City. (Un)Fortunately, the security team discovered him before he could filch anything. Our dear assassin has escaped by electrocuting everyone. EMPTY-HANDED AND PISSED. He also received a parting gift from the Deities. Namely his mask which now looks like this. Never annoy cruel gods, ppl. The video feed is from an NPC guard's device. ]
[ Post is open to action ! Hei may run into your character on a rooftop or an alleyway, as he makes his escape. Just be warned. He will mow you down. Or knock you out. Or kill you :| Alternately, you may run into his derpy alias 'Li', who'll act like he's returning from work and doesn't know WTF is going on. Which side of the coin you'd like to interact with is upto you~ (*Mod Approved*) ]

action - Hei?
She doesn't know what to think about the guy in the funny mask running towards her.]
\^^/
[ But he doesn't swerve or slow down. From his jacket, he withdraws a tennis ball-sized canister. Filled with sugar and saltpeter. Homemade smokebomb. His fingertrips crackle with blue sparks, setting a fuse on the canister alight. ]
[ Still running, he tosses it at the girl. ]
[ A ruse to blind her - while he slips off the streets and onto a nearby rooftop. ]
(>^.^)> <(^.^<)
HEY YOU!

[ Tactical error. It's like half the citizens here have supernatural abilities.
Maybe they're all Contractors. When she gives chase, he picks up speed. Scaling a nearby fire-escape with the quiet alacrity of a cat. ][ The more limited his contact with bystanders, the better. ]
no subject
What do you think you're doing!?
no subject
[ Definitely not a Contractor. They wouldn't pursue him unless they had something to gain from it. A reward. Orders from higher-ups. The girl is just fatally persistent. ]
[ He ignores her questions. Continues scaling the fire-escape - and slips to the roof above. Crouches, concealed by shadows, behind a roof-access. If she's still following him, he'll have to get rid of her. Via indirect approach. ]

[ He listens to her footsteps to gauge how closeby she is. Stays, almost preternaturally still, in his hiding spot. Lengths of wires lie across the roof. He waits until Korra is in his field of vision. Waits - until she's stepped on a wire - before he touches one on his end with a fingertip. ]
[ A zzt of electricity. The surge travels to where she's standing. Not a deadly volt. Just enough to incapacitate her - while he escapes. ]
no subject
No. No. She pushes herself to her feet, limbs shaking. He's clearly up to no good. She can't...she can't let him get away.]
no subject
[ High up as they are, her scream blends with roaring City traffic below. But when she attempts to rise, he pauses. Definitely fatal persistence. He has no choice but to knock her out. Killing her would be easier - it's certainly what he's used to. ]
[ But this isn't an assignment. No back-up to dispose of the corpse. Anyway, if what he's learnt is true, people don't stay dead here. ]
[ In a flash, he lunges from his hiding spot. Appears noiselessly behind Korra. His palm connects with the back of her head. And delivers another bright-blue volt. ]
[ Time to sleep ]

[ The voltage has been strategically tempered. By his estimate - and past experience - she should be up in thirty minutes. Groggy, copper-mouthed, but no worse for wear. ]
[ By which time Hei will be gone. ]
