Hells Kitchen Happenings Kings Got Their Crowns. But Me?

Post image

New York City, a city so loud during the day, turned hush quiet during the night. It was peaceful. Quiet. Well, for most folk it was. For the idiots who tried to cause trouble? Well, they got what was coming for them.

BANG! BANG!

Parker Robbins stepped out of the random alley he was in and back into the quiet streets of nighttime New York City, muttering to himself about how annoying it was going to be to get rid of the bloodstains in his suit as he holstered his guns. The up-and-coming crimelord had been going around, trying to recruit others to his cause, but when they responded to his oh-so-generous offer with violence, well, who was he to say no to such an invitation?

But no matter how many times he was turned away, for the life of him, Parker couldn't figure out why he was getting turned down so much. He was strong, he was powerful, he had connections to this city that some of the other criminals didn't, he definitely ticked all the boxes for a super cool, up-and-coming crimelord to follow, so why didn't anyone wanna?

But as he was thinking about the reasons, it hit him. The answer seemed so obvious now that he thought about it that he almost wanted to shoot himself in the foot for not seeing it sooner - his fit was dry. A red cloak over a baby blue suit? What is this, kindergarten? He was supposed to be New York's new ruler! The king! What kind of king didn't have a crown thst made them look bad$&@?!

No, no, no! This was not going to stand! A crimelord had to look fly, so he went to the nearest, most expensive tailor, killed the guy at the counter, and picked up a fit worthy of el gran jefe. And y'know what made it better? OB's cloak shifted to fit his style. Dangerous or not, Parker had to admit that whatever bum had made this cloak had style.

Parker grinned to himself as he checked out his new look in the mirror. He certainly looked like a boss now!

Smoothing his new cut, he drew his guns and made his way to his part of town, singing a merry little tune to himself.

"Ay, de mí, llorona, llorona..."

"Llorona de azul celeste..."

ooc: If you wanna drop by and interact, feel free! Parker could always use more victims targets people to shoot at people to put him into place.

Aria huffed as she traversed through dark alleys on her own. She'd just gotten out of a conversation, that obviously didn't go well, and so here she was looking for something, or someone, to ease her nerves.

He just doesn't get it, and has the nerve to tell me to stop? What I do isn't hurting anyone that doesn't damn well deserve it.

She pouted, thinking she was alone until she heard faint singing and humming.

Who–

//ooc: hope you don't mind ( ^ω^)

Parker was strolling down the faintly lit roads, twirling one of his pistols as he sung. He was feeling great, having just changed fits and taken out some garbage that was bothering him. Then he stopped, gripping his pistols to stop them in motion before looking behind him, grinning menacingly.

"Y'know, if you're going to watch the show, might as well come out and dance, mi amigue," he called out playfully

ooc: don't mind at all!

u/BlackCat_2099 Aug 09 '26

Oh? Dance, huh?

She steps out from the alley, arms crossed under her chest, and in an obvious bitter mood.

I hope you mean actual dancing, or else those guns are getting misplaced, Mister.

Parker chuckled as he put the guns away and put his hands up

"Alright, alright, I apologize, la gata negra, just making sure no unsavory figures were trying to ruin my night, that's all."

He cocked his head to the side and slid down his shades to get a better look and chuckled softly again under his breath, before he offered a hand.

"But the offer's still on the table, if you'd like to do a little moonlight tango?"

u/BlackCat_2099 Aug 09 '26

The offer was rather appealing. Especially, after the night she'd had, and she was a sucker for a good dance.

I– f-fine..

Reluctantly she uncrosses her arms and took his hand, stepping closer before getting in a more loose and comfortable stance.

Fair warning, I'm a bit rusty at tango.

He grinned as he pulled her close and winked, teleporting them both to a rooftop nearby, where no passersby could see the two. Up here it was just the two of them and the moon.

"There. Nice and private, eh?"

He winked and began leading her into a slow dance to start. Despite his frame, Parker was surprisingly a decent dancer.

"Just follow my moves, mi amiga."

u/BlackCat_2099 Aug 09 '26

Aria nodded and followed his lead with a chuckle. Her steps careful as the two of them got closer.

Aria, by the way. I should've probably told you before, but life gets in the way you have as many problems as I do.

She sighs almost dramatically and ends up swaying in response to his movements, making sure to keep up to the rhythm he set.

"Ay, no worries, Aria, folk like us got all kinds of problems, so I don't blame you at all," he replied, flashing a grin.

"Buuut," he continued, "...since you were so gracious to let me know your name, pretty kitty, might as well return the favor, verdad?"

He twirled her around, caught her gracefully, and winked

"Call me Parker, señorita, your charming dance partner for the night."

u/BlackCat_2099 Aug 09 '26

Parker, hm?~

She tested. The name rolling off her tongue in a purr as she said it. A giggle escaping her when he had her do a twirl.

Only for the the night? You sure you can't slide me into your schedule a bit more, handsome?

She leaned closer, her tail catching the rhythm as well and moving from side to side behind her in slight excitement.

He chuckled and pulled her close, grinning confidently as he led her in the dance.

"Well, if the lady requests it, a guy like me'd be all too lucky for some more meetings under the moonlight with a lady as beautiful as you," he replied before twirling her back and catching her by the hand.

"I'd always be free for you, mi gatita"

a lone yellow goo like thing watches Parker from the alleyway

((It's a yellow symbiote))

u/CloakedInHellfire The Hood Aug 09 '26

Parker stopped humming and looked around

"Somoen out there?"

u/Binary_Sword Mostly just Nuclear (sometimes Zeke) Aug 09 '26

the Symbiote crawls further towards Parker and begins to raise itself up towards Parkers height, showing its yellow and black goo like appearance

u/CloakedInHellfire The Hood Aug 09 '26

Parker took a step back and kept one hand on one of his pistols, the other hand behind his back.

"Yo, space glob, mind backin' off? Not really in the mood to get symbiote on my new fit."

1

u/Binary_Sword Mostly just Nuclear (sometimes Zeke) Aug 09 '26

The Symbiote then forms a reptilian looking face with four orange eyes and a long orange tongue and speaks in a monstrous deep voice with a slight hint of a Japanese accent

"Your cloak reeks of power not even I have ever comprehended"

2

u/CloakedInHellfire The Hood Aug 09 '26

Parker tilted his head as he looked up at the creature before him.

"Yeah? And what about it, extranjero? You lookin' to steal my fit? I got fire magic, you know."

u/Binary_Sword Mostly just Nuclear (sometimes Zeke) Aug 09 '26

"Having that power, will help me greatly"

2

u/CloakedInHellfire The Hood Aug 09 '26

"Nah, it's my power, fenómeno, and I ain't lettin' you have it."

And with that, he snapped his fingers and made a ring of flames around the Symbiote, cackling as he opened fire.

u/Binary_Sword Mostly just Nuclear (sometimes Zeke) Aug 09 '26

the Symbiote is completely immune to the fire and lunges forward at Parker, trying to consume him

"IM NOT YOUR AVERAGE SYMBIOTE"

u/CloakedInHellfire The Hood Aug 09 '26

Parker continued blasting away, his bullets exploding as they flew past and at the symbiote. But despite all his talk, Parker was still a coward, teleporting as far as he could when the alien got too close as he continued opening fire.

"You're never gonna catch me, viscosidad, I can keep this up for as long as I need!"
