Do we want to just jump into something without a plot?

Sounds like a good idea to me ^^

Peter slammed his brother on the back hard, causing the smaller to cough and grab at his chest. A satisfied smirk quickly took over the older's chest. "You know, the least you could do is relax out here!" Peter gestured to the masses of people at the market they were visiting. "We are surrounded by exotic people. Wipe that frown off of your face."
"Perhaps I'd relax if you didn't hit me, you twat," Pan hissed. He swat at Peter's wrist, his wolf ears flattening against his head. The two were werewolves- not a common sight in this town, but not too rare. However, despite their seemingly normal appearance, people were eyeing them with suspicion. The duo couldn't figure out what had them all on edge- no one had heard of the Jade Vipers in this realm. It was, however, possible there was another group who was head of the place. And they had been tasked with the mission to find out. -
Katashi walked down the street, his walking stick in hand. He hadn't been out to town in a while and he decided it was time for him to take a leisurely stroll and make sure everything was in order and staying that way. The sphere that capped his walking stick glowed fainting in the midday light and he smiled. He was the leader here and everyone knew it. He smiled and nodded as the people walked by, seeming to blend in with everyone else. If you were an outsider, he wouldn't be recognizable, but his men were another story.

Pan reluctantly relaxed, adjusting his jacket and glancing up at the townsfolk. Several vendors were there, selling trinkets or foods that the twins had never seen before. Peter walked over to one of them, asking for the cost of some grilled meat. As he was doing so, some hushed whispers fell across the market. He turned back, glancing to see what was going on. Though the noise picked back up immediately after, the werewolf had caught sight of someone who was strolling down the center of the market. Curious, Peter turned back to the seller, flashing his brilliantly sharpened fangs. "Say, you wouldn't happen to mind giving me that all for free, would ya?" He reached over the stall, grabbing the cook by his shirt collar. Pan spun around, his eyes widening in excitement.
-
Katashi looked around the market and grinned, but his grin slowly fell into a deep frown. He saw werewolves and paused for a moment. He looking down at his walking stick and shrugged his shoulders. Usually, he didn't take if these matters himself, but the one looked like it called for special treatment. "I see you are new comers in this town." he said, strolling up to them, tapping Peter's hand, making him let go of the owner that was running the vendor. "Now, I see you are clearly not from here, so for that I welcome you." he said, his tone surprisingly calm, yet serious. "But we run things different in this town. A run in with the wrong people could get you hurt, or worse they could kill you." He looked at them as the people around the market started to walk again.
-
Peter wiped his hand off on Pan's shirt, as if pretending to be bothered by the man's touch. However, his grin did not waver. "Sounds like you're saying this town is dangerous, eh?" Peter calmly took a step closer to Katashi, a low growl emitting from his throat. "My brother and I are strong enough to take on anyone. I invite these people to come at us as much as they please."
Pan hesitated, but he placed his hand on Peter's shoulder a moment later, looking to Katashi. "You sound like you know a lot about this place." The smaller smiled, innocence laced within his words. "You wouldn't happen to be able to tell us about.. Mm, any gangs, would you? Or some kind of strong, evil-driven force that the townsfolk fear? We've been getting quite a few strange looks even before my brother grabbed this poor man. I'm merely.. Curious." -
Katashi looked at the brothers and placed his walking stick in front of him, his hands neatly folded on top of the sphere, covering it from view. He looked at the boy who had messed with the owner of the vendor and shook his head. "Your invitation may be accepted, but brute strength will get you nowhere in this realm. I heed you to hold your tongue." he said, looking at the other brother with a slight smile. "There is a force here that isn't to be reckoned with, but you will find out more eventually. Might I ask your names?" he asked, taking a step toward them. "We haven't been properly introduced."
-
Peter's grin diminished, turning into an angry scowl. He made no move to attack Katashi, however, and merely balled his hands into fists. "You underestimate me, stranger." He jut his chin out, growling. "I am positive my strength is enough. Besides, he's the brains of the two of us. We're practically--"
Pan threw a hand over Peter's mouth, swallowing. Even he knew it was too soon to announce themselves, let alone their strengths and weaknesses. Sighing, the smaller responded to Katashi. "I am Pan De Boule, and this is Peter, my brother. Do excuse his rudeness. We've come to explore and learn more about this town." -
(Editing some videos, so I may not be on the rest of the day ^v^ Going to respond to RP's while I can :3)
Katashi looked at Peter and shook his head, then looked at Pan. "Well, I'll talk to you, since you are the more sensible one." he said, his words slightly harsh. "It it nice that you've decided to drop in on this realm, but your brother is going to have to watch that mouth of his. It's going to get you both into trouble." He looked around and noticed the sun was started to shine brighter. He wasn't used to being outside during the day, and he was starting to get warm. He looked at Pan, motioning his walking stick toward him. "Trust me, brute strength doesn't help you in this realm. It never will." he smirked as a man in a leather jacket walked up to him and whispered something into his ear. Katashi looked up and smiled. "It was nice talking to you, but I'm afraid I have some buisness to take care of." -
(Alright. If you want to wait to respond to one or both of these later, go ahead!)
Peter's eyes filled with rage as Katashi seemed to disregard him. He grabbed Pan's hand tightly, ripping it away from his face. "I will watch nothing of mine, you blond a--hole! I swear, if Pan wasn't here, I would rip your limbs apart!" The werewolf glared at Katashi with disgust, his ears flicking against the slight breeze. For a moment, it looked as if he was contemplating carrying out his words. However, he merely turned away, stalking off into the crowd of people and disappearing from sight.
Pan did not follow his brother. Instead, he crossed his arms, staring intently at Katashi. The young wolf wasn't sure just how important Katashi was, but he could feel a certain air to him that wasn't present in the others at the open market. After a moment of silence, he replied, "I suppose brute strength won't work, no. Thank you for your advice." Another man approached them from behind, whispering something to Katashi. Pan strained to hear, but the loud sounds of the marketplace blocked his ability to hear what was being said. He sighed, nodding to the strange man. "Of course. Thank you-- Ah, wait, what is your name? I don't believe you said yours." -
Katashi tore his gaze away from his friend and looked at Pan. "My name is Katashi." he said, his fingers tapping against the sphere on the walking stick. The sky above starting to turn a dark grey and the wind started pick up as Katashi's seeming serious demeanor turning dark. "Now, I must leave you." he said, turning around and walking down the opposite way. He looked at the man that was walking beside him. "Keep an eye on them Briar. Report to me there every move." he said, turning down an ally-way toward a tiny soup kitchen. Someone here wasn't going to like today, but then again, Katashi didn't like any day where buisness was bad.
-
Pan noticed the sudden change in Katashi's demeanor. The fur on his ears and tail started to prickle upwards, and he shivered, glancing at the sky. The werewolf's eyes widened as he realized that the man was right about their brute force: he had magic. As soon as the blonde walked away, the smaller male started to dart through the crowd, chasing after his brother.
Peter had been watching from a slight distance. As soon as Pan approached him, he hissed, "He has to be someone important. You don't just unleash magic like that unless you know you're a big shot. Besides, did you see how the surrounding people reacted? They all looked like they were afraid, pretending to feel safe." -
Katashi walked into the soup kitchen and grinned. "How's everyone doing today?" he said, his voice echoing off of the walls. The people that were in the room suddenly got quiet and everyone stopped what they were doing. A man walked out of the kitchen and looked at Katashi, his eyes widening with slight fear. "Why are you here? It isn't time for me to pay up yet." he said, his voice going down as he spoke. "My dear friend, it is the seventeenth of August. You are past due. Now, if you will, I would love to have my payment." The man looked as if he was going to faint right there on the floor. "I-I'm sorry K-Katashi. I don't have i-it." The man wring the towel that was in his hands. He was nervous and Katashi could tell. "Well, if you don't have a payment, I guess I'll have to take one of your daughters until you do have the money." he said, looking at the man. "B-but I only have one daughter." Katashi nodded and a flash of greed crossed his eyes. "Exactly."

Briar walked back down the street, shedding his leather jacket and hiding it behind one of the many dumpsters that were in this place. He now looked like a normal citizen, but if he didn't have his shirt, you would be able to tell, because he had the symbol of the Wolfsbane Strikers on his back. He stuck his hands in his pockets and spotted the two brothers just ahead. He stayed back, but kept an eye on them. It seemed like they were up to something, but he didn't know what. -
Pan nodded in agreement, sighing. "We won't be able to win with our strength. We'll need someone else to come help us, perhaps Radioactive or the boss--"
"You need nothing," a voice called out to them. The brothers turned their attention to a white haired male. He was bundled up in a white coat that made him stick out from the crowd. He pushed his glasses up his face, staring at the two of them. He leaned in close to them, muttering, "You're being followed." Peter turned, staring into the crowd. He recognized a man that had been at Katashi's side.
