Big City, Neplusultra.  MASSIVE traffic jam.  One for the history books.  The reason?  Rumors abound that the famous Battleduster will be landing here soon with a very high-profile prisoner.  One of the Pirate Lords!  And of course eeeveryone wants to be here for this historic event!  Hence the traffic.

Aiu asks, "What's taking so long? Shouldn't we be there by now?"

Her limo driver answers, "Sorry, ambassador, but since you weren't specifically invited, we have to take the same route everyone else is taking."

Aiu blows upward on her hair. "I'll pull up the news, at least." and with that, she tunes in to the news to watch the updates on this event. Even if she can't make it to the location of the event, at least she can stay abreast of the situation.

Y'naro lands his craft at a junky backwater area where he was given permission to land since all the other docks were full. Apparently, he was told right that pulling the "I'm a blissian" card would at least get him a place to land. It is still quite a walk from here, but Y'naro does not mind walking at all.

He exits his vehicle, locks it, and begins walking along the side of the road, looking at all the backed-up traffic with a curious look.

  Thus far nameless Deksharr was already in the area.  Though in his case the media circus means he hasn't bothered to try and leave.

His enthusiasm for such an apparent win for non lawbreakers is dampened by the fact he has resorted to vending machines to get snacks that at least resemble what he asks for, considering people are too preoccupied with the news to remember where they even put his food after he ordered it.

Not Joe, just no GM tags for filler names

A newscaster's voice is charged with excitement as he relays the unfolding events.  "The Battleduster can be seen now as it slowly descends vertically toward the city, impressive even at this distance.  Traffic is adjusting to try and make room.  The swarm shimmers from flash photos snapped within the individual vehicles at random intervals...."

A police officer on a hover bike approaches Y'naro.  "Hey there, buddy.  That's a loooong walk you got ahead of you.  I just got orders to escort a certain vehicle through this mess, but I may as well offer you a ride while I'm at it.  Wunna hop on?"

Aiu gets a call.  Should she pick up, she'll be informed that her office pulled some strings and got her a police escort.  Which should be arriving soon.

Over at dekshar land:  CRASH!  "Hey!  Watch where you're going!"

"You cut me off!"

Ye olde traffic accident.

Aiu does, in fact, answer he phone. Upon hearing about the escort, she says, "Wow really? Nice. Thank you."

Aiu relays the information to the driver and leans back in her seat with a smile.

Meanwhile, Y'naro smiles brightly at the cop. "Thank you, officer. That is very kind of you." He gives a polite bow before hopping (pardon the rabbit pun) onto the bike and hugging the cop from behind.

  Well, dfhgnjklgdfalkjhvdf is certainly glad that this isn't his jurisdiction (Not that he has one these days.  Or that he was parked anywhere near here.

  uiohgdfghjograsd does however, allow himself a single sigh as he tosses the last bits of his snacks in the trash, and goes to check if anything more than vehicles or pride are hurt.

"You're welcome!" is the answer Aiu and Y'naro both receive.  The officer coordinates with Aiu's driver and escorts the vehicle to the city's main courthouse.  His attention is drawn to the arguing motorists standing over the pieces of their trashed fenders, no people injured apparently.

The dekshar nearby has already been able to determine what happened.  Aggressive driver swerved to change lanes.  Distracted driver failed to notice the sudden reduction in safe breaking distance and rear-ended Aggressive Face.   Neither is wiling to admit to their part in the accident, but witnesses stuck in traffic are happy to tell what they saw.  Nothing better to do besides gawk at the Battleduster's landing.

"Got work to do,," the officer tells Y'naro, "Nice meet'n ya!"

While the officer is busy with radioing in, Aggressive Face is making a fist like he intends to sucker-punch the other motorist.

Y'naro says, "Thank you so much, officer. May love follow you."

When he sees the one getting ready to throw a punch, he darts over at incredible speeds (or did he hop over in a single bound?) and intercepts. Should the man still throw the punch, he will find his punch heading for a blissian. Y'naro aims to guide the punch to continue in a circle so the man might spin in place. "Please do not do that." he asks in a pleading tone.

Aiu, meanwhile, wonders if she has arrived, so she peaks outside to see the spectacle and widens her eyes. Since when did things escalate to someone throwing a punch at a blissian? A puppy-bark exits her mouth in shock.

  Well, uh.... *throws dartboard at wall* Dave was just going to suggest how unlikely to get away with punching in front of a crowd and next to a cop mister angry pants was.  But now Blissians are throwing themselves in front of people.

  Hopefully popular claims they are too cute to want to punch are true.  "If you take the other guy to court over this, the Jury will totally take their side if you punch the bunny even if legally he the other driver was at fault."

The officer blushed at Y'naro's parting blessing wondering just how much good luck he'll get from that one, but is startled by Y'naro's sudden speedy departure.  When he sees what's going on, he ohs and hurries his approach, blowing his whistle.

Aggression Face was going for a "I'm not touching you" fake-out punch, but bunny gets in the way.  Granted, he didn't put much power into the jab, but it was aimed at nose level.  So should Y'naro have chosen to block with his face, it woulda hurt.  But it's not hard for Y'naro to redirect the interrupted punch any way he wants.

"What?!  What's going on?!"

His body language shows that he's not very angry any more... more confused than anything.  Distracted Motorist looks just as mystified.  "Thanks?  I think he was aiming for me..."

The officer looks to be calming down too and quits whistling.  "Yeah, thanks, Y'naro!"  He looks over at Dekshar Dave and asks, "Sounds like you already know what happened.  I'd appreciate if you could tell me."

To the motorists he says, "I'll let you know when it's your turn to give your version of what happened."

"I've been asked to park outside the city," Aiu's driver informs after getting off the phone.

"You may as well hop off here.  Gimme a call when you're ready for a pickup."

Aiu says, "Very well.  Thank you.  Looks like this place is pretty interesting anyways," and smiles as she trots out.

Meanwhile, Y'naro had in fact redirected the punch, and he says, "Why were you trying to hit that man?"
