Between Mandricardo getting choked out and someone trying to steal Hector, she ain't got no time to fuck around. She yanks Hector's cage back, and immediately slams the edge of the foldable cage against the person's wrist— assuming she can see it. Her intent is to break bone.]
[ Mandi can feel his nails slice into skin, and the man lets out a frustrated yell before he doubles his effort to strangle Mandi-- until he can't. Suddenly, a barrier surrounds Mandi, stopping the opponent from getting near him.
Meanwhile, the hand grabbing onto Ichinose lets go suddenly, and she hears someone swear from the other side. She bought some time.
[Mandricardo leans forward with a hacking cough, trying to catch his breath. What is happening?]
What the hell...do YOU care? You hate animals-! [And gathering some of his energy and focus, he's going to try to sock the man in the head again, harsh.] SHe's doin' fine, no thanks to YOU!
[Is Hector okay? Excellent question! She fucking yeets the collapsible cage through the space in the door out of hope of hitting whoever's on the other side in the face. Bonk? Please bonk? And then she immediately rams into the door again, hoping to knock the large box over onto their mystery person.
Will that work? A mystery! She checks up on Hector first and Mandricardo second.]
Mandricardo-san, just ignore it! Are you okay?
[How is Hector looking? Ichinose still has the bottle, brandishing in case anyone else gets grabby. Bad.]
[ Hector is okay but very startled. She is a bat, she has no idea what is happening at all here my dudes. But she's now just flapping around in her cage frantically.
Ichinose can hear a bonk, and she'll then hear something-- someone-- hitting the ground hard.
The man yells, and tries to hit Mandi again after, but... he still can't get past the barrier.
Tanaka replies. ]
Of course I care! I care about all our merchandise, even if it's horrible merchandise. I'm a good worker!
Ha! Like hell you are! What kinda curse did you put on Hector, huh?
[Sorry, Ichinose, he's getting more angry because of dear Tanaka-san - still a bit surprised by the barrier, he's leaping down from the man, moving in to sucker punch him deep into the gut.]
Ichinose-! [And he'll call over his shoulder.] Found a way out, yet?
[Tanaka, why. Anyway, can she push the door open now? Or not yet? She will try to take a look inside the room regardless, using whatever space is available. Either way—]
I think so! [Feeding Hector a quick snack. Shh, shh, it's okay.] Go, Mandricardo-san! You're so cool and sexy!
[ She can push it, at least. The door won't open fully, but it opens enough that she can at least squeeze through the space.
The crowd continues to cheer as Mandi fights. He lifts up an arm to signify that he's giving up... and the door opens. Uh, Mandi is going to have to get out of the way very quickly, because the crowd is going to rush in to continue beating on the fallen man.
Tanaka continues to be helpful. ]
It means what it means! Ready to go home yet? The sun's already rising.
[The fight is over. Mandricardo, huffing, draws back - but is shocked at the rush of people inside the cage. Panicking, he manages to squeeze out of the entrance, looking back as he rushes over to Ichinose.]
W-What the hell is wrong with these people? [Whatever! Not his business! He's going over to Ichinose. He's ignoring Tanaka for now.] Let's get out. Need help propping it open?
[Oh, well... Sucks to be that other dude! Ichinose nods, looking between Hector's cage and the door. Is there enough space to get their baby through, too?]
Yes. [Quickly, glancing around to keep an eye on the crowd.] But be careful, there's someone on the other side and I don't know if they're down for the count.
[Can they make the space bigger between the two of them? Or are they going to have to try squeezing through like this? Either way, they really have to book it.]
They can both push the door open more so that they can both comfortably get through it, but the cage still will get stuck unless they spend more time... that they don't really have. It sounds like the crowd at the cage are getting restless and looking for someone else to take it out on. ]
She pointedly avoids making eye contact with the crowd (or tries to, anyway), instead nodding at Mandricardo.]
Ahaha, well, about that... The other cage might be gone for good. But hold this—
[She is shoving the cage at him. Please do not drop their baby? And then she is taking the leash and a blanket, if they have one left. If they don't, then she strips off her coat to use that instead. Quickly and carefully, she swaddles sweet Hector-chan up and slaps the leash on her. Don't @ us for putting a leash on a bat this is a special bat!!
Anyway, assuming Mandricardo follows her, she will hold this still swaddled baby to her chest and start heading out the door. Please behave, child.]
[ Hector makes a bat noise, but she doesn't fuss as they handle her. She seems to mostly be content that she's no longer being horribly jostled by everyone grabbing at her.
Once they're outside the door, they'll see that what was blocking it was a large crate. There's writing stamped on it, that reads PEST CONTROL on it. As they walk, they also step on something. Well, someone. The person Ichinose had been wrestling with.
They're now back on a main road, but a different one from before. The sun has freshly risen, so there aren't many noises of people out and about. They can either go left or right on the road.
[Love their little baby child swaddled up in a bat burrito.]
[Mandricardo is more than happy to get out of there, not caring for stepping on the guy behind the door. Who cares! It's his fault! And now they're on the road again...]
[ Tanaka makes a noise that can only be described as what a shrug would sound like.
But off they go! This street isn't that fancy compared to the other one they were on, but it's still nice enough that there isn't really trash on the street and it doesn't smell like pee. You know, the city smell.
They can see the occasional car pass by them, but traffic is light this early in the day. It's a quiet walk, but they'll eventually hear the sound of feet running on pavement. ]
[Mandricardo quickens his step a little more in the direction of the sound of running, raising his voice - its definitely a little on the hoarse side because of the prior strangulation.]
Hey! HEY! If any of you joggers want to give the both of us any trouble, let me tell ya, I will not hesitate to throw you in front of a car, okay? Go around us, or you'll have to deal with me!
[Mandricardo at his lowest most exhausted point is just tapping full into his delinquent part of his personality. He sneers.]
Ichinose looks a little startled by the outburst, eyes widening as she keeps Hector close to her chest. While Mandi has his outburst, she will chance a glance in direction of the footsteps — just in case they're actually visible.]
Whoa, stop, stop. Calm down. [Sir, your blood pressure.] Are you okay to run? Let's just go.
[She does not want to get into a fight now that they're minus two whole ass cages.]
[Welp! They're running. She's tucking Hector in her shirt so it's more of a papoose situation, supporting her with her arm to reduce the chances of, oops! Honey, I think I dropped the kids! Noooo dropping the baby.]

Um, get her on the leash and get her out of the cage so we can fit? Then we can put her back in that collapsible cage.

Hmmmph. [He hates Tanaka SO much.] Fine. Maybe.

Once outside, she keeps cradling this little bat burrito and kind of? Tries to hide her from view as much as possible.]
... Yeah, alright, fine. Will you act as our navigator?
[Time to go home... finally?]
no subject
But Tanaka just sounds happy. ]
Okay! Just head left and keep going. You'll reach an area with a lot of apartments. Try to watch out for the morning joggers!
no subject
[He pinches the bridge of his nose and curses.]
Let me guess. The joggers are gonna attack us because this bat is supposedly cursed, right?

This is getting old... Oh, well, guess we should get it over with.

Tanaka whistles. ]
Oh... maybe run?
no subject
[And. Uh.]
[Haha! Maybe he...bit more off than he can chew?]
[Mandricardo feels his delinquent part shrivel up like a grape in the sun.]
...Okay. Uh. Let's...go?
[And he's just going to grab Ichinose by the arm and run the opposite way haha!!]

Tanaka-san, how much longer now?
