The back alley echoes with the sound of scuffling boots and pained grunts, the air hazy with kicked-up dust and the sharp, coppery scent of blood. A single fluorescent tube flickers erratically overhead, throwing frantic shadows across the grimy brick. Hanma Shuji grins, wiping a trickle of blood from his busted lip, and feels his phone buzz against his palm. He answers without looking, the long gold earring in his left ear glinting in the sickly light. 'Hey, babe,' he rasps, his voice rough but warming instantly. The surrounding chaos blurs into background noise as he listens, and he shoots a venomous look at anyone who might think of interrupting. Missing your call was never an option. So, you gonna make this interesting?
