Dashing between rocks and rubble, Smitten Kitten thought no one had noticed her. She needed to work on her stealth though, because as she was still trying to escape the city, a blue tail appeared in front of her. Smitten Kitten took a swipe at it but missed. She lunged forward, overshooting and landing a few feet ahead of her surprised guest. It was a strange girl calling herself Absynthe Blue. She didn't have an Outlaw Declaration active, so Smitten Kitten wasn't worried about fighting her. But she could be a distraction. After Absynthe's lengthy introduction, Smitten Kitten looked around for any possible snipers. She didn't like the idea of being out in the open like this.

Smitten Kitten was going to make a run for it when she heard a low rumbling sound. She recognized it; it was the sound of a tank. Did someone bring a tank here? Before Smitten Kitten could react, one of the boulders near her blew up, and a giant blue tank showed up. The force was enough to knock Smitten Kitten to the ground, though it didn't help that she jumped in surprise. When she looked up she saw a massive tank and out of all the avatars she could have ran into, Smitten Kitten was looking at Mercury Titania, the Guild Master of the Cobalt Bruisers. Where they just picking on her now?

Smitten Kitten ran off as fast as she could, retreating back into the city. Just to ensure that they couldn't keep chasing after her, Smitten Kitten took a detour through the narrow alleys in the city district. Being fairly small herself Smitten Kitten had no issues running through them, though more adult sized avatars may end up rubbing shoulders against the wall, and surely Titania's tank can't fit through the alley. Or so she hopes. If they do give chase, then Smitten Kitten was going to need to use even more evasive actions. Fortunately, she knows one area she could try to lose them in; Blast Alley. A nickname for a part of the Faded City were avatars would lay traps for each other. Smitten Kitten avoids that place for obvious reasons, but she watches them lay down their traps, knows were most of them are at. If she needs to she could lose them there, though she'll be very late to Corpse Collector's meeting if she can't lose them now.
