Roleplay:Drifters/Episode 1: Let the Gang Wars Begin!

Prologue: Early Morning Broadcast
It was your average day in Astropolis. The Dream Co. Police Force were doing their usual patrol whilst the normal citizens went about their daily business. Despite the city looking peaceful, there was an obvious sense of fear among most of the people within the population. Every time a member of the Dream Co. Police Force would pass by a person, their poker face would spread along their face, hiding any hint of happiness or sadness. As soon as the police were out of sight they would go back to their previous expression, albeit a bit relieved that they were not being hassled in anyway by the corrupt law enforcement.

Suddenly, once the clock had struck 07:30am on the dot, over 60% of the population of Astropolis' radios tuned into one particular radio station, the only pirate radio station that didn't spew out Dream Co. propaganda all over the airwaves. This radio station's name was ''Smooth Groove Radio. ''

"Yo yo yo yo, this is your host DJ D-Lion giving you your early morning dosage of revelations. Coming straight to you live from your favourite Station, Smooth Groove Radio!" The DJ said in his overly entertaining voice.

DJ D-Lion was a tall yellow lion with a wild brown mane. He wore light blue shades on his face and a white jacket on his torso. He also wore black pants. "Now as ya'll already know, it's been roughly 3 years since 'The Big Man' himself rolled up into town with his mega-enterprise Dream Co. and mysteriously gained the position of mayor in Astropolis." DJ explained.

"Ever since then, things have been spiraling out of control as his new regime took influence over the once fair city. This guy went mad I'm telling you! First he bought off the police force. Then, he went and bought the rights to all the media output in the whole city! Well, almost every source; I mean, I'm still around. Then he had the audacity to start extorting nearby businesses to submit to his will, even though he's already mayor and has enough power as it is?! What a egomaniac! Funny how they named themselves Dream Co. The only thing they're doing is selling out false dreams about their ideals for a 'successful economy'. If you ask me, they're full of crap and all they're after is profit."

"However, despite most of Astropolis being under his influence and the fact that he's stomping out our culture left and right, a small group of Mobians are still out there, fighting against the Dream Co. police by burying our city in Graffiti. Whether they like it or not, these Extreme Gear wielding dudes (whom we like to call Drifters) are probably our last hope against this crazy regime."

"Sadly, they're too busy wrapped up in their petty gang wars and territorial battles to actually do anything seriously effective. Yo! Drifters! Wake up and smell the damn coffee! The people of this city need some help!"

"Anyway, word on the street is that Dream Co. is working on a top secret project in order to deal with the "Extreme Gear problem" once and for all! Man! Stuff's about to get real out here in the streets! I haven't been this scared since like, my first kiss. I was so scared that time that I headbutted my date and she fell unconscious!"

"Well, that's enough of my sexy voice spreading the airwaves. Time to start the day off right with a fan favorite! Coming to you from SMOOOTH GROOVE RADIOOOOOOOO!" DJ D-Lion finished off with as the song started to play.

Episode Start!
The sky was a blazing orange in the Dawn Dockyard. Then again that wasn't particularly special, it was always a sunrise in the Dawn District. However, the day itself was pretty important. Every gang in Astroplis was out to coaim this piece of turf and today was the day it would be decided. All of the gangs gave gathered today for a game of Tagger's Tag, the ultimate Drifter game that involved spraying each other to the point of being unconscious. Which ever team wins this competition owns the district.

The first team on the scene today however were a significantly prominent team in Astropolis, Thr OverGrindz. Two of their members was crouching on top of a nearby crate in the dockyard. In front of them was a large circular area that was created by a large ring of crates, the perfect place for a game of Tagger's Tag. The two members were birds, one was a grey hawk wearing blue jeans, a turquoise t-shirt and and orange Extreme Gear Goggles, the other was a green swallow who wore an orange bandana, an orange crop top with a yellow design on it and orange trousers with a yellow flame design at the bottom. The members were both wearing Skate-type Extreme Gear. The hawk was wearing a pair of blue Cover-S ZG Edition Skates while the swallow wore a pair of customized Advantage-F ZG Edition skates. The swallow's skates aren't on the market so she created her pair by combining the ZG Edition Hovercraft version and the old SR Edition Skates.

"Spotted anyone, Roxy?" the hawk asked while scanning the area.

"Not yet," the swallow, Roxy, replied. "Speaking of which. Where's the rest of our crew Nate?"

"No idea, they should've been here fifteen minutes ago," Nate responded.
