[There's a scream that's very audible at first, the video clicking on shortly after to reveal a young woman being cornered by some ruffians in the street. It's a Renaissance view, the area mostly like a certain Italian's world. Cars go by and-

Wait. Cars? Since when did the Renaissance have cars? And the men are going after the woman's purse? They had purses back then? What is going on here.

Well, fear not, for your questions shall be answered! Because as luck would have it, there is an incoming shadow of a bird seen, and a few seconds later, a feather sails by one of the thug's faces, sticking right into the wall. Both of them look up, and back, just to see a figure crouched on the ledge of the building behind them.]

Truly, you'd prey on the weak just to feel better about yourself? And a woman, no less.

[It's rather obvious that it's a male, and for those who know him, would most likely know that it's Ezio. Watching the two men, he leaps down, the outfit he wears bearing semblance to the style of the world he is somehow now in. Robes like the assassin ones he will wear in the future, and a Venetian mask to cover a part of his face, are prominent. Another flick of his wrist, and a few more feathers sail, pinning the criminals to the wall, leaving the woman free. For a moment she clutches her purse, terrified, until she realizes this masked man saved her.

Ezio continues to speak to the two men, obviously irked as he stares them both down.]

I would have perhaps expected better from gentlemen, but it seems you two are nowhere near the case.

[A moment passes and then he gently extends his hand towards her, trying to not seem intimidating.]

Are you hurt?

N-no, thank you. Who are you?

You may call me La Maschera.

[His brief rescue is cut short as a bird flies overhead.]

Maschera, Maschera! We have trouble! In the city!

[He sighs, but grins all the same. Dashing away, he climbs the wall again, and blows a kiss to the girl as he disappears over the edge and away from sight.]

[[both Okuu (omnomsgods) and Ezio (novicius) will be responding]]

[Orlando knows he should be impressed, and he is to a certain extent, but there's something rather...ridiculous about all that.

So the look on his ever-so-slightly-cgi face is interested, but also amused.]

Not really an original name.

[video]

[novicius]

[THIS IS SAILOR MOON, ORLANDO. Everything is ridiculous okay.

He's currently running across a rooftop when this message pops up.]

Perhaps, but it is memorable.

[video]

[scanningutterly]

[THAT IS APPARENT.

...Running on roofs is pretty chizz, though.]

I guess. It is appropriate.

[omnomsgods]

[ Boi, you insulting her partner?? The bird is no longer a bird as she responds, but a young woman. Her dark wings seem to tense at his expression that comes off as more condescending than anything else. Naturally, she feels the need to defend Ezio. ] Hah? It's a great name.

action!!

[omnomsgods]

[ It would be too much to call them partners in magical crime-fighting, but too little to call her simply an assistant- even if both of these terms accurately portray what they are. However, the most fitting description would be, of course, that she is a 'mascot'. She circles overhead as a bird waiting for Ezio to scale the wall before flying forward. She'll guide him to where he needs to be- where others need his help. ] Those women won't be saving themselves, you know!

[ A tease, perhaps. Mostly to try to get him to hurry up. ]

action!!

[novicius]

[He knows her ways, and how she acts. They've been working together against crime for what seems like ages now. He swoops by as she circles, making his way and watching for her at the same time.]

Well then, I suppose we'll just have to be quick. Where to?

[iseedeadpeople]

Attacking purse theives? Really? That's the worst you have to deal with?

[novicius]

Not the worst, no. But the day is young still. There are always culprits and evildoers about.

Permavid;

[omnomsgods]

Oi, oi- Ezi-- [ whoops! ] La Maschera [ Haha, good save! ] can't be reading while climbing buildings and fighting these bad guys! That could lead to a serious mistake! Switch to video or voice.

Are you fucking with me right now? Ahahahaha! Seriously? This is some Grade A anime bullshit!

[don't mind her as she taps her screen, taking screencaps. all the screencaps.]

Ah, how chivalrous! [... no comment on Okuu. yet.]

Permavid;

[omnomsgods]

Isn't he? I taught him myself! [ You should've seen him when he was just starting out as a masked savior! ]

[novicius]

[afghjafsjhgfas oh god he will never live this down will he.]

I am merely doing what is right. [Though he does appreciate the compliment, believe me.]

[everything_is_dangerous]

[All you've got here is a flash of red hair and a gloved hand tapping the edge of a purple mask.]

So few people really are gentlemen. It's nice to see a few who are.

La Maschera, hm? I'll have to add you to my list, then. See how many people need to try to stop me before it actually gets challenging.

Permavid;

[omnomsgods]

La Maschera should be at the top of that list.

[ Nevermind she has no clue what kind of list this is. ]

[Video]

[novicius]

A challenge, is it?

[ghostshippingly]

[ Pearl appears to be in her own sailor get-up, legs swinging over the edge of a rooftop. ] That was amazing!

[ video ]

[novicius]

[There is a grin behind that mask.] Was it truly?

Permavid;

[omnomsgods]

Spread the word! La Mascera is protecting the city!

[ ...La Maschera, Utsuho. La Maschera. ]

[video]

[lovethisworld]

What a daring rescue.

[video]

[novicius]

[Ezio laughs a little, amused.]

Indeed, she was in trouble otherwise. And what kind of hero would I be to let her fall into such danger?

Permavid;

[omnomsgods]

Heeh, I'd give it only a seven outta ten, personally.

[video forever]

[grey_grief]

[See the icon, Ezio. She sounds as bored as she looks] Ezio, what are you doing?

[video forever]

[novicius]

No, not 'Ezio.' La Maschera.
