Snippet #2417017

"Oh, right!" Grunt! "Absolutely! You go ahead..."Oomf! "I'll get it loose!"

As the monkey boy landed on top of the rear carriage, it went unnoticed to Roxxy at first. The loud passing of pedestrians and merchants blocked most anything outside of a three foot radius from being heard. However, Scouter's voice seemed to boom throughout the whole street.

Looking up from her struggle, she spotted the creature. She paused, having felt certain she was looking right at a character from a book she had once read. Her curiosity seemed to offer the needed inspiration to pull the cloak from it's entrapment. As Roxxy budged herself free, she barely caught hold before flipping over the front of the wagon backwards into a pile of stamping feet. With an extended arm, she swatted at the monkey child. "Shoo! Go one!" She hissed.

Suddenly, the cart began to shudder and shake. Looking at her feet, then following to the front of the wagon, she saw that the bulls were fitting; stamping and snorting as another monkey child leaped over their backs. Roxxy's face fell flat as the creature stuck its' tongue out before taking off into the crowd. Just as the other one leaped down from his perch, Roxxy had a thought, and looked to see her coin purse gone from it's spot.

There was no time for wonderment, as that was all the money Roxxy had to her name. And this place didn't seem to be lacking in workers, so she could only imagine the kind of activity she would have to partake in to earn such a savings back.

"Hey! You there! STOP!" Her voice reached a higher level, in hopes of startling the creatures. Apparently, though, all thieves were alike; whether here or there, the only thing to stop a thief, was the will to do so.

Hopping down from the wagon and landing on her feet, she pulled her cloak off the ground, and took after them. Maybe five feet into the chase, Roxxy realized she was chasing monkeys. 'This won't do.'

"I said STOP!" She boomed. While one hand still held her cloak, the other reached out directly in front of her, fingers pointed toward the boy who was pulling up the rear for the team of tricksters. Roxxy's body took on a glow, and sparks flew from her fingertips. Quickly, faster than the normal eye can notice, she shot out a line of electrical current, aiming at the boys tail.
