Dust in the Wind
#3
Jun shuffles awkwardly through the crowds of teenagers at the George Orwell Shopping Center on Teir-4. He pulls his new coat, which looks remarkably like his old coat but with fewer stain, a little tighter as he passes through a group of Teir-5 kids. Jun doesn't like Teir-5 kids, with their dirty hands and cigarettes and hungry eyes. The Teir-5 kids jostle him as they pass,  but Jun knows better than to provoke them. He approaches a phone case kiosk being manned by a friendly but annoying Gungan woman.

Jun shows the woman his brand new mobile device, and she points out the cases that would fit it. Jun has never bought his own phone before, and he wants to keep it safe. He hears a giggle, and sees a small group of Teir-3 kids eying his phone.

"He wants a case!" says a pretty blonde girl in a carrying whisper. "For that!" she says as her friends snicker.

Jun doesn't like Teir-3 kids, with their snickering and suburban superiority complexes and their daddy's cars.

"Thanks, I'll be right back" Jun mumbles to the Gungan woman. He pulls his thick blue scarf up over his face as edges over to the wall, looking for Yuki.

He spots her, grinning widely, a shopping bag in her hand. She is wearing a short pleated skirt like the T-3 girls, with a kind of tiny Kimono as a top, barring her midriff and new belly-button piercing. Jun looks down at his worn boots, wondering if he should have got new ones.

Yuki passes by a group of rowdy Teir-5 orc and half-orc kids. One of them, and orc boy with a nose ring, grunts in a high-pitched voice; the orc equivalent of a catcall. When Yuki does not respond the orc boy reaches under her skirt quickly and gropes her.

Yuki steps in front of Jun as he walks forward quickly, staring down the orc boy. The orc and his friends tap their claws against their tusks menacingly.

"Don't," she whispers quietly, her hand on his chest. The orcs grin as Jun backs down, glaring behind him as he walks back Yuki to the kiosk.

"Uhm," says Jun. "I think the black one?" he says, pointing out a reasonably priced phone case. Yuki nods.

"Yeah, we got enough," Yuki says as she reaches discretely under her skirt for her cash. "Uh," she says intelligently, "it's gone." She looks at Jun meaningfully. Jun looks to where the orcs were a moment ago, and sees a wall.

"Fuck," he remarks, and starts to sprint through mall, Yuki hot on his heels.

They see the orc gang sitting at a fountain, picking change out of it.

Jun connects first, slamming his knee into the nose-ring of orc who had groped Yuki. The orc crumples and bleeds into the fountain. As the orcs start to rise, Jun catches an orc to his right with a solid hook to the temple. The orc is dazed, and Jun grabs his tusk with his left hand and starts to furiously rabbit-punch with his right hand. Jun feels hairy fingers clamp down on his neck as an orc chokes him from behind.

The orc releases his grip as Yuki stabs him in the eye with a brand new stiletto heel. The orc howls as Yuki is tackled by a half-orc girl, and the pair go down in an angry whirl of hair-pulling and new-outfit-ripping and slut-shaming.

Jun turns around in time for a half-orc boy to catch him between the eyes with a haymaker. He stumbles into a gut punch from another half-orc and hits the ground, breath gone. He watches the bright lights of the mall disappear as a crowd of orcs stomp on every spot they can find.

Over the orcish profanity Jun hears a scream. "T4 Knife Ears!"

The light returns. Jun raises his head, seeing the fight through a haze of blood. A gang of elven teenagers are fighting the orcs with bike chains and glass bottles. Jun watches a pair of elf girls rip the half-orc off of Yuki and beat her mercilessly. He cannot watch, and turns away to see four elf boys hold a half-orc's head under the fountain, laughing as he struggled to breath. A massive elf with long red hair is holding the orc with the nose-ring by his throat. The orc holds out a wad of cash, Yuki's stolen units, and the elf takes the cash and releases him.

"Crackshots!" someone yells as a pair of storm troopers burst through the doors to the mall.

The gangs scramble, the orcs running left and the elves running right.

Jun is yanked to his feet, and he sees the huge elf looking him the eye.

"Run," the elf suggests in a deep voice. Jun obliges.

The teenagers navigate easily through the  mall, laughing madly as they loose the storm troopers in the crowd.

The gang try not to laugh as they make it to an alley, staying pressed against the wall as a patrol car passes.

"Here," says a pretty elf girl with a green mohawk. She tucks a wad of cash into Yuki's panty line. "If you're going to keep your cash in your ass, wear a longer skirt," she suggests as the gang giggles.

The massive elf with the red head walks towards Jun, and the gang quiets. He holds up a a few bills.

"This," he says in his unelvenly deep voice "is our cut." The elf then take one of the bills, writes an address on it, and hands it back to Jun. "Party tonight," he says, his deep green eyes very serious.

"Bring your friend."
