Flynn was bored. He'd been in a constant state of stress and turmoil since Ryan had appeared in his life, making him feel things - emotional things for the first time in many many years. He was normally pragmatic and focused, only spending time with the children when he needed to train them, or to assess their current abilities. Today he felt restless, not wanting to do more training - that somehow seemed dull and uninteresting. On most other days he would have simply pushed that aside and made himself run the training session, getting the kids to practice knife fighting, dodging, dirty fighting methods, or thieving skills.
He decided he would have the children entertain him, WHILE continuing his training. He often sent some of the older ones out to do various training exercises, keep them on their toes and their skills honed in the real world rather than just in practice. This would be the same, only hopefully might make him a little richer and give him something other than Ryan to think about.
He called the older ones over, including Andy, Sierra, Rose, Alyx and with reluctance, Ryan. He instructed them to sit at his feet, and he took a moment to admire the gang of vile little criminals he had raised them to be in their rags and dirty faces, most of them.
"You're all going out on a mission for me today. There is a prize for the one who pleases me most." He announced and enjoyed the hungry, excited expression in Rose's one remaining eye. "You are to go and steal something interesting, or valuable, preferably both. The winner is the one who brings me the item I deem most pleasing to me." He pointed a warning finger at each of them in turn, "You WILL Be careful. Peacekeepers seem to be everywhere and extra vigilant at the moment. Anyone getting caught and punished by a Peacekeeper, IF they get back here alive, will be punished again by me tenfold. So be sharp and alert, got it? And if anyone DARES get followed as they return, will have a constant reminder to watch where they go, after I mangle your knee, so every step is painful for the rest of your sorry lives."
"Rose, you'll be taking Ryan with you: keep him close and keep an eye on him. I WILL kill you slowly if he gets so much as a wiff of Peacekeeper on him, or if he runs, or gets into trouble of any kind, other than the trouble you're making on purpose of course." He chuckled at his own joke.
He smiled at them all, almost sweetly, "You each have your talents: Sierra, your charm is going to make me very rich, I'm sure. Alyx and Andy, I want to see which of you is the better fighter, for you have both pleased me in this regard of late." He ignored Rose and Ryan, knowing it would drive Rose crazy to not be mentioned, and he wanted her to learn a bit of humility. She seemed to think she was the best of his kids, and while he valued her loyalty, he didn't want her to think too highly of herself. What if she thought she could go out alone and not work for him or something? "I am looking forward to what clever and unusual things you find to please me. Are there any questions?" He made it sound like anyone asking a question had better make sure it was a good one, otherwise they would be in trouble for wasting his time.
(ooc meerclar , @amibri2002 , nat , @kaplan kap Note: system wise PK's really are reporting on crime so if your character is being careful to avoid witnesses, peacekeepers etc. make sure you mention it in your post if you don't want to be arrested))
