As Alister hefted the lid for another pass, Ricky reached into the trash bin and produced an empty Corona bottle. Taking advantage of the greater swing time of his foe's weapon, Ricky brought the bottle down on Alister's head. The glass smashed dramatically, but it was hardly the first time Alister had a bottle smashed on his head, and the worst it would give him would be a headache the next day. Ricky, on the other hand, had opened himself to Alister's attack and took the edge of the lid to his gut. The young, fair-haired thug violently exhaled oxygen and a bit of bile as the attack struck home. Ricky's attack Dex 2 + Melee 2 bgnykqs4 Ricky's damage 2 successes + Str 3

Alister felt a few dribbles of beer slink down his forehead accompanied by a few streams of blood that dripped down his neck.
"You little fucking tosser," he snarled. A bottle over the forehead was a common enough occurrence but that didn't mean he appreciated it - or that it didn't hurt like hell. Red tinges began to edge in on his vision, and he dropped the lid to seize the entire bin and attempt to hurl it at the punk.

As Alister grabbed for the bin, Ricky reach also, hoping to grab another bottle. While he certainly retrieved part of a bottle, it was in the form of a long shard of glass that lodged itself in his palm. While Alister did manage to heft the heavy bin upwards, he could only manage enough force on the down swing as could be easily, and almost-accidentally, fended off by Ricky when he raised his wounded arm up in pain.

The rubbish bin crashed to the ground and spilled its contents across the footpath. A glint of streelight reflected off of another Corona bottle that rolled out of the pile of rubbish, and Alister decided he'd return the favour Ricky had given him earlier. He snatched up the bottle by the neck, and swung it down on Ricky's head.

Seeing Alister reach for the bottle, Ricky, with remarkable adroitness for his beefy frame, hurled his own body like a javelin at Alister. The attack's brunt hit Alister's center of gravity and knocked him from his feet; with a similarly unexpected display of balance, Ricky landed on his feet. Alister's physically sternness denuded the unexpected move of any real harm beyond his loss of footing, however. Without missing a beat, Alister grabbed a bottle from the ground and hurled it at Ricky's head. Ricky's cranium was less practiced than Alister's at taking whacks, it seemed, as Ricky displayed a notable wobbliness after the bottle struck home.

Intent on knocking the arrogant little shit's lights out, Alister jumped back to his feet and snatched up the now-empty rubbish bin. Much lighter with its contents spilled all over the footpath and street, Alister hurled it at Ricky's head to make sure it still hurt.

Ricky, his eyes glazed over but seemingly aware enough to realize his condition, began to shakily move away from Alister's prone form as fast as he could move. Which, given his current state, consisted of a slow-paced staccato walk. Alister, in far better shape than his foe, rose to his feet readily and threw the empty trash bin at Ricky. However, the only response this seemed to elicit from the other man was that Ricky stopped briefly to vomit on the ground before continuing to walk.

"I'm not done with you," Alister snarled. Cocking his arm, he darted forward to strike his defenceless enemy across the back of the head - and stopped a few feet back, his fist clenched brutally tight, as he saw through the red mist to notice the dumb, scared kid trying desperately to amble away from him. He spat out a mouthful of stale beer that had dripped down from his forehead. Kid's learned his lesson. He doesn't need to visit the ER to get the point in.
"Actually, yeah, I am. Don't ever try to fuck someone again, kid. Now piss off back to Eddy and get him to clean you up."
Alister turned away, then patted down his pockets to make sure the vital medicine hadn't gone flying during the brawl. Finding it tucked safely away, he started off home again, gingerly picking shards of glass out of his hair and flicking them away as he walked.

Whether or not the punch-drunk Ricky heard Alister's parting words was uncertain, though it was of little concern to Alister himself at this point. He now had the medicine he so desperately needed to preserve his life. But, as he walked towards home, memories of the night's events playing in his mind, he couldn't help but wonder exactly what sort of life this was that he was trying to preserve. End of prelude. Preludes always pay maximum XP, so Alister receives 5 XP and I, as Storyteller, receive 2 XP for its completion
