let me see you start a war, start a riot [OPEN]

Who: Gajeel Redfox and OPEN
What: Someone who probably shouldn't be allowed to roam the streets unattended does exactly that.
When: Now-ish
Where: A park OR some science facility OR just about anywhere in L.A.
Warnings: Gajeel is kind of his own warning

Option A: Some Jerky Loser (day)

Oh, what, were you going to sit here? Was anyone going to sit here? Too bad. This entire park bench is now being taken up by a young man with pieces of metal embedded in his forearms and an expression like he is quite literally just waiting for an excuse to punch someone. He doesn't seem to have much of anything else to do, either, judging by how, if left alone, he will just sit there for a good hour, checking the time on a battered, bricklike cellphone every so often and glaring threateningly at anyone who walks by.

Apparently this asshole has just arbitrarily claimed this bench as his property.

[OOC: Feel free to ignore this starter; Gajeel can also be found either at the auto shop where he works (where he will stand off to the side and look bored until he's told to do something), or just about anywhere else in the city (where he will usually either keep up this same look-threatening-and-don't-talk-to-anyone crud or actively pick fights). Sometimes he might stand around in hardware stores and scrutinize packages of bolts and the like a little more carefully than is entirely normal. If you want a different specific starter, let me know!]

Option B: Some Jerky Supervillain (night)

Gajeel doesn't always have any sort of actual goal when he does things that could get him arrested, which makes tonight kind of a novelty. He figures it's about time he started moving up, getting a reputation beyond just smashing things, and he's pretty sure breaking into a science facility late at night and stealing some important science thing is a pretty effective way to do that.

Of course, he has no idea what any of this stuff is, he's literally just going to grab whatever looks important. He doesn't know what he's going to do with it either. Sell it, maybe; if he does that as Iron Dragon, they can't trace that to Gajeel Redfox, right? Sounds like a plan to him.

Any alarms he sets off in the process of breaking in are completely ignored, any guards met with a swift, sharp impact from a metal club. He doesn't really bother to check how much damage he did, not even to insure that they aren't conscious enough to call for reinforcements, because he's fully confident that he can take whatever they may throw at him. Instead, he just keeps making his way through the building, keeping an eye out for something that seems to be worth stealing.

What is this, Dr Jekyll and Mr Asshole? (A joke Chris would never make because he's not that witty.) (It's a very low bar with him.) He's trying so hard not to turn this into a fight, because honestly he's not a very fighty person, but god is Gajeel working his nerves.

"Seriously man, how hard is it to move up?" He looks at his watch and sighs, "I'm not even gonna be here long."

"You know what, man? Never mind." Chris waves a hand in a dismissive gesture, but he's not actually... Leaving. At all. In fact he's planting himself on the ground right next to the bench. Sandwich in one hand, phone in the other.

He's not really interested in arguing, but he's really interested in getting that bench, which is why there may well be a crowd of obnoxious young adults starting to accumulate over the next 10 minutes or so. Loud music and everything.

"Nothing." Chris shrugs as he stands up to hug a new arrival, barely acknowledging Gajeel at this point. "Just let some mates know I was hanging out in the park."

"Nah."

And that's all the consideration he's giving this ludicrous idea.

Holy good god, this guy is annoying. Chris pulls a face when a bit of paint hits him on the cheek, and for a moment it looks as though he may actually decide to go fullscale 'okay let's fight' about it, but he refuses. It's a nice day and he still has someone to meet and he's not going to give Gajeel the satisfaction.

He swallows that brief flicker of anger instead and turns to look at Gajeeel with a (slightly intentionally obnoxious) smile. "You want a beer or something, mate?"

"You gonna call the cops?" Chris obviously doesn't think he will, seeing as he tosses a can Gajeel's way and goes back to his other conversation. (It's awful and cheap and someone brought a lot of it.)
