Scene #7953: Forte's Secundus Food Tour (2nd Course)

Owner	Pose
Forte	Forte's here, at the music box. Where in the music box isn't really important. He's just managed to track down a nice, juicy MP3 playlist, full of all the hot beats, and is busily absorbing it. This wouldn't necessarily be a problem, but this is his... thirteenth or fourteenth physicalized digital music file he's absorbed, and he's not showing any sign of slowing down.
Staren	It's a digital world! That's pretty cool. Staren hasn't time to marvel, though. She's got to stop Forte, whose threat has been hanging here all day while she dealt with other things. She's back in the robot body, though she's only bothered to fix the skin disguise on the head and has attached some extra armor plating to the body rather than bother with clothes. It all looks a bit unfinished though, scrapes and dents still visible on her metal 'skin' and the extra armor's paintjob is rushed, not quite matching. Shouldering a oneshot rocket launcher as she flies in from the air, she shoots first THEN shouts: "Gah, what do you WANT?! You and whoever your friends are don't even HAVE territory here, why do you keep meddling? Why don't you go bother Kale some?!"
Forte	The rocket launcher hits solidly, and Forte gets knocked back from his task/meal, landing on the ground. He's still and silent for a moment, and only then does he get back up, and look at Staren, with... frustration? "You again." "How many times..." GIGANTIMAX, SLOT IN! EXECUTE! "Are you going to INTERRUPT MY MEAL!" Forte, now giant-sized, reaches down in an attempt to crush Staren with his fist!
Staren	Okay, Staren's fought giant things tons of times, but someone suddenly BECOMING giant in the middle of fighting her is still pretty shocking! Her eyes widen as the hand comes down and she struggles to escape! She ends up briefly caught in his hand, good thing she's a robot, although he can hear metal beginning to creak and buckle... "As many times as you FEED IN CONCORD TERRITORY!" She channels electricity into his hand again, pushing fingers back and pushing herself free with tiny robot strength, and she comes out of it with armor wrinkled like her clothes are due for dry-cleaning.
Forte	Forte goes to crush Staren. Staren pushes back, with surprising force. "... I'm not-" Forte says, rubbing his injured hand, maybe a bit petuantly. "... going to stop feeding in Concord territory." "Or Paladins territory, or anywhere I please." "It is your fault for opening these warpgates up and practically color coding what areas you control..." Punching mini-Staren didn't work, so Forte tries stepping on her! "It's practically an invitation for a guilt-free place to feed!"
Staren	"We can't police everywhere, you COULD just go to territory we're not watching yet! Are you just looking to cause trouble and get in fights?!" As the foot comes down, she holds her arms up and a dome of force appears around her. Stepping on it... is slowed for only a split second, actually, as it shatters immediately and Staren and the surrounding street are pushed down a few inches on contact, but it gives Staren time to give Forte a hotfoot with point-blank plasma blasts as metal buckles, and parts of her body start smoking and sparking...
Forte	Talk about a hot foot! "You are right," says Forte, gingerly stepping back. "I could go somewhere else, that you haven't taken control of." He pulls leg back, and attempts to just simply... KICK Staren out of the area!
Staren	Staren can tell Forte's not actually agreeing, but She's not sure what attack to expect. It wasn't THAT, apparently. The sound of her crying out "OW" can barely be heard over the CLANG of metal impacting metal, and Staren's flung into the distance before she can say anything more, her metal body twinkling in whatever passes for sunlight here.
