John broke into a sprint, hoping to gain some distance, he skidded at the corner, almost losing control and barreling into the wall before regaining his balance and continuing his chase, leading to....
Wait where the hell did she go? Maybe he could just find somewhere to climb... He continued to run through the alleyway and spotted a fire escape, he jumped, grabbed the ladder and pulled himself up now ascending the building through said fire escape.
The brute would stagger back from the hit, slamming his head against the wall and falling into an instant KO. Poor guy!
Mai on the other hand, would jump to catch the edge of a roof and scrape her feet against the wall to get herself atop a slightly taller building. She'd stop to take a breather with her hands rested against her knees. With a slight phew, she'd start to relax some until - John popped up on the fire escape. Her eyes darted towards him, her feet starting to move quickly away. Dropping a snail origami behind her, she'd move off towards the next taller building and make another jump for it. She'd narrowly manage to grab, and would quickly struggle to climb her way up.

Victus could be heard far behind them both, his Platemail resounding like a parade of trash cans rolling down a hill.
He followed her trail to the building with the fire escape and Victus cursed loudly. He didn't trust the fire escape to handle his weight and he knew he couldn't leap across roof tops. Now, he could follow her from the streets or try to find that bandit thug a squeeze him for information. Victus took the gamble, and attempted to follow her from the street level. She couldn't hide up there forever.
John reaches the roof and watches as Mai makes a run and hops to the next roof. He stands and grins breaking into a run towards the next roof to follow her.
That is of course when he hits the snail and suddenly slows down right as he goes over the edge. A couple of choice swear words coming from him as he falls, he attempts to as quickly as he can of course. Reach in and grab his grappling gun, firing it.
The point hits the roof and locks, he hits the wall of the building, grunting. He then proceeds to slowly yet surely scale it once again.
One on the street, one climbing onto the roof. She didn't notice Victus right away, but she was keeping an eye behind her as she spotted the man's hands likely reaching over the edge to get a hold. With a grumble she'd turn to the right sharply and leap across a rather large gap between buildings before dashing off right again to jump off and get to a lower building. She was descending, but she was doing so to make it harder to follow. As she'd hit the lower building, she'd fall into a perfect roll and easily get back onto her feet to keep going.

A shout is heard from down the street.
"IN THE NAME OF DEMACIA AND KING JARVAN THE THIRD, I COMMAND YOU TO STOP!"
Victus was still chasing, although he had only gained when she had slowed. He was also making enough racket that many teenagers still asleep had started yelling their own choice swear words.
John reached the top and threw himself over, taking a few seconds to catch his breath. He takes a moment then stands, breaking into a sprint and hopping across the large gap. He lands on the edge and quickly regains his balance before he falls back, ending up stumbling slightly forward. He looks around, trying to spot her again. He heads to the edge of the building and sees her running on a building on the right side, lower down. He takes some steps back and takes a deep breath before running and jumping the gap once again.
She may be nimble and quick, but all this running is starting to wear her down! Mai darted across the buildings rooftops maintaining a fairly decent gap between herself and John as he pursued her. She'd pat herself down, trying to remember what she had left as she'd leap down into an alleyway - a rather long drop to the ground no less (something really risky if you aren't a trained freerunner), rolling as she hit the ground before darting off towards the left. She'd have to find some place to duck into if she had any chance of escaping. The two were clearly quite insistent upon reaching her.
John climbed up and once again broke into a run, following her building to building. His breathing getting heavier as he tried to keep pace. While athletic it still wasn't any less tiring at times. He then watched as she dropped down into the alleyway a sigh emitting from him as well as a few choice words. He slowly approached the edge.
He slowly dropped down, hanging onto the edge. He from there began to slowly scale down the building, sticking his tongue out in concentration as he climbed down the building and into the alleyway.
Mai darted in and out of alleyways until she would slow and duck into a small doorway trying to hide from view. She'd breath heavily, wiping the sweat off her forehead with her lower arm and sighed trying to catch her breath. She was certain the had managed to lose them. At least, she hoped she had. She'd linger there for the moment taking a much needed break.
John hit the ground and followed for awhile in the direction she went to, fast at first. Then slowing as he realized he couldn't tell where she went. He slowed to a stop and listened for footsteps, tiny ones. The major thing that he liked about the more wilderness areas, they had tracks.. But an urban environment. He could barely make it out but he was pretty sure he could hear her. So he took off, still a bit slower then before a half-run. His breathing slowed as he narrowed his brows, looking for any movement in the alleyways.

As John bolted past one such side alley, he would see Victus leaning against a building, trying to catch his breath. His face is drenched in sweat, but upon noting the man in black dart by Victus would let out a shout and give chase. Not the quiet kind of chase John was looking for either.
Mai pressed back as she heard the heavy clanking of armor from Victus and the yelling thinking it best to hide for the moment. She'd press as far back into the shadow of the doorway as she could get and idled there, listening to the sounds of the two coming all the more closer.
John's eyebrows shot up as he heard a shout and he quickly looked back. "Oh..." He started to increase his pacing, his legs starting to yell at him now. He had to somehow lose him so he could rest somewhere for a short while. Maybe.... He reached into his coat, and searched around. A slight smirk as he pulls out a smoke bomb and pushes the button then rolls it towards an intersection. He then disappears into it and runs in a random direction (Took a right) and slides into a random doorway and presses against it. He starts to slow his breathing, and slowly slide down it into a crouch.
