[b][color=gold]Interactions:[/color][/b]  Akaia [@Exit], Vincent [@Daxam], and Juice [@PigeonOfAstora],
[b][color=gold]Mentions:[/color][/b] 

Erik gave a thumbs up to Vincent after completing his given task. As odd of a request it had been, it worked out so far. Oddly, yes, but so far so good. 

[color=gold]“Great volume! The message needs work but that’s easier to fix I think.”[/color] Erik shot a glance at Akaia as she began using her spores to cloak herself. [color=gold]“Good thinking.”[/color] She wasn’t able to fully cloak in time, but Erik thought it best not to draw too much attention to her. As long as she was gone before things got hostile, Akaia still had an edge on her opposition. [color=gold][i]I’ve done it! The perfect combination of brashness and subtlety! Vincent is my great big wrecking ball! Loud, proud, and destructive! Akaia is my thief in the night! But in the daytime as well! She takes anything that is necessary and more without so much of a whisper. Even lives![/i][/color] 

The mental self-imposed motivation excited Erik to the point where he felt the trio could face anything, so when the helmeted stranger peered at them from behind a building them holding a baseball bat, Erik maintained a relaxed posture with his fists at his waist. He was just about ready to start walking over like a friendly new neighbor, but-

[h3][color=3399ff]"ARE YOU COPS?! YOU HAVE TO TELL ME IF YOU'RE COPS!"[/color][/h3]

Erik winced as he took a step back. He finally grabbed ahold of his bow. [color=gold][i]No way…[/i][/color] What he thought might be a brief encounter escalated into something much more pressing. There was no just ‘passing by’ or ‘minding their business.’ This person needed to be addressed immediately. 

[h3][color=3399ff]"ALSO IF ITS A NOISE COMPLAINT I'M NOT LISTENING!"[/color][/h3]

Erik winced but did not recoil as he had before. Now was his moment.

[color=gold]“Hey! That volume is incredible! No complaints here! In fact, I want to know how you made something so loud! It’s exactly the kind of upgrade I need for my next megaphone! Is it really in that helmet?! By the way, name’s Erik!”[/color] He held up his hand high and waved keeping up with the friendly new neighbor vibe.
