"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
Gordon, who had faced monsters bigger then a dump truck, was not likely to hide just because of a scuffle. However, this could be a good time to figure out what was going on.
He ducked behind the stall, and turned to the merchant.
"What's happening? What are they fighting about?" he asked. "Wait... Montague or Capulet?"
Realization dawned on the theoretical physicist.
"As in Romeo Montague, and Juliet Capulet?" he asked.

Travis ignored the Merchant and walked over to the scuffle going on.
"Fuck, we are in Romeo and Juliet. Just fan-fucking-tastic."
He shoved his way through the crowd, knocking a few people on their asses.
"HEY! WILL YOU PRICKS CUT IT OUT?" He yelled at the two men.
Cirno just looked up at the merchant and said "Bless you" Thinking that he sneezed.

"You're not from here, are you?" said the merchant. Hahli shook her head no.
"The two houses of Montague and Capulet have been fighting for as long as anyone can remember..." he said sadly. "Terrible for business, worse on the city."

"Well what specifically are those dudes fighting about?"
"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
Romeo and Juliet. Alright, that explains where we are, then...
"Who started the fighting out there?" asked Gordon.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

"Don't know," said the Merchant, "but this happens almost daily, now."
In the square, stalls were being overturned, fruit was being thrown, and several people looked as though they could be seriously hurt.

"Fuck it."
Travis walked up to the two people who started the fight, and grabbed one of them by his legs. He swung him around several times before throwing him into the other guy, who was standing there speechless.
"Alright, who's next?" He yelled, before igniting The Blood Berry.
-Eddie addresses the others-
"I don't know most of you well, but what I'm already thinking of as "the usual approach" probably isn't going to work here."

Ravage overheard this and nodded to himself. So this primitive city was riven by feuding factions, was it? Very well, then...
The jaguar padded over to the merchant, his tone conversational.
"And who leads these noble families? Why do they not intercede on their people's behalf?"
Like the Cybertronian Senate..., he added to himself.

"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
Gordon was abut to respond, when he saw what was going on out if the fight.
He stood up. Best way to find out what was going on was to ask the people who started it.
Gordon ran out to the man with the laser sword.
"Hold it," he commanded. He pointed to the man who has been thrown. "What's your name?"
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

Kraft was also curious as to how things worked in Verona and listened intently.

The merchant briefly explained the history of Verona and the various members of the two families, and how their feud was threatening to tear the city apart.

"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
"I said-" Gordon repeated, closing on the downed men.
"Both of you-What are your names?" he requested, sounding more forceful this time.

Ah geez... what should their names be? You can make something up, I'm not good with this kind of stuff.

Well, who were the first people to start a fight in Romeo and Juliet? I don't remember at the moment.

You could probably look it up. I haven't read the story in a few years.

Jorge scowled as he saw the fight break out between the two men. The names Montague and Capulet sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite remember where those names were from. As Gordon rushed in to break up the fight, Jorge smirked. For a Doctor, he sure was ballsy. Then again, Gordon was wearing power armor.
The Spartan walked up behind Gordon, observing the scene unfolding before him. He was surprised that none of the residents had noticed the hulking supersoldier yet...

"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
One of the men responded.
"Gregory, sir!" Clearly, he was frightened by the sudden otside attack.
Gordon wracked his memory. If he wasn't mistaken, Gregory was one of the servants of the Capulet family. He'd been in high school the last time he read the play, so he wasn't quite sure.

A over-ripened tomato hot Travis in the face. He glared at the man who threw it as he wiped it off.
"You're dead."
Moments later, many people were showered in blood as Travis sliced the man in half.
Jorge leaned in close to Gordon. "So, Doctor...do you have any idea what the hell's going on here?"

"Montague or Capulet?" he hissed at them, trying not to be heard- not that this was difficult, what with the abject mayhem going on in the street.
