Brianna McCarthy: Oh god. She was angry. She was so angry. There was one kin that was goingg to DIE at her hands, and whereve Catie was... Ooo, if someone hurt her, she was going to KILL them. The small kin huffed, her green eyes bright and hard as she heads to see Troy. She's dressed in a hoodie and jeans, her hair tightly braided. There is doubt the woman has knives on her.

Brianna McCarthy: ((there is NO doubt...))

Troy Lawrence: He's in his apartment, quickly shedding out of his work clothes in favor of a much more...streamlined look. Black cargo pants, a matching turtleneck, and a brown leather jacket over it all. He slides a pair of gloves on, and waits for Brianna to arrive, the expression on his face completely impassive.

Brianna McCarthy: There is a sharp rap on the DA's door, and she shifts slightly as she waits.

Troy Lawrence: He moves to the door and looks out through the peephole, then unlocks and opens the door, walking away before Brianna walks in. He heads straight toward the bar, pouring a drink. "Can I get you something?"

Brianna McCarthy: She slides in, shutting the door behind her. "No, thank you." She allows herself to slide out of the hoodie. Long sleeve shirt underneath, and a knife strapped to one arm.

Troy Lawrence: A short nod, and he picks up an already quarter-full glass of brandy. The whole thing is swallowed, and then he looks to Brianna. "Tell me the details, if you would, Miss McCarthy."

Brianna McCarthy: She crosses her arms, just too much energy contained in her. "I had gone over to Catie's apartment to check on her, due to... long story. I called to tell her I was coming, it went straight to voicemail. I checked a couple more times, no answer. I got to the apartment, no answer. Catie wouldn't just... run away."

Brianna McCarthy: "And the doorguard never saw her leave, since she came in, so..." Her lips press tightly together.

Troy Lawrence: He nods at that. "No, she wouldn't. I...have an idea of where she may be. Did you enter her apartment?"

Brianna McCarthy: "No, I'm not able to get into her apartment." She gives him a puzzled look when he says he knows where she might be

Troy Lawrence: "It's just a theory." A hint of a frown shows on his face, and his eye twitches a little. He looks up, off to his left. "Where is Catie's apartment?"

Brianna McCarthy: She rattles off the address easily. "What theory?"

Troy Lawrence: "One moment." He smiles a little to the direction he's looked. ~SS~ "Sokol. If you would be so kind, my friend, could you go check out [INSERT ADDRESS HERE] and see if there is anything unusual? Unusual guardian spirits, any children of Falcon, or perhaps signs that someone packed for her?"

Brianna McCarthy: She crosses arms and paces slightly before stilling again.

Shadowfae -> Troy Lawrence: With a flap of his wings, the falcon-spirit is gone, off in the direction he's been asked to go. Not so much a talkative spirit.

Troy Lawrence: He looks back to Brianna. "Catie had...issues with her father, who lives in Bosten. She had escaped him. I would not be surprised if he had come and tried to take her back."

Brianna McCarthy: That's.... really not a good look in her eyes as she ponders that. Her fingers dig into her own arms.

Shadowfae: The spirit returns. ~ss~ "There is a child of Falcon not far away from the place. She is hunting another of our kin she thinks is in danger. But she has agreed she will come with us."

Shadowfae: [*kicks that under the rug*]

Troy Lawrence: He notes her reaction with little of his own. "I agree." He turns and looks out a window, hands folded calmly behind his back. "How much of her and her father's situation are you aware of?"

Shadowfae -> Troy Lawrence: He is one excited spirit too. You'd think Falcon himself just offered, as proud as he seems.

Brianna McCarthy: "I don't need to know about it to know it's bad. Her demeanor speaks volumes."

Troy Lawrence: He looks up to the air, and nods. ~SS~ "Excellent. Who is this child of Falcon?" Please, Eagle. Not Lexington. It's a rather mild thought, as it passes through his head. His eyes turn back to Brianna. "It is...not good, no. Not as bad as you might imagine, but still...far less then appropriate."

Shadowfae -> Troy Lawrence: ~ss~ "She is of falcon's. Not of your kind."

Brianna McCarthy: "It's bad. End of story. And if he has her, there's nothing we can do as she's his kin, his property, etc. etc., bullshit, so on and so forth." Shoulders roll and she paces slightly again.

Troy Lawrence: He nods to air, looking visibly relieved. ~SS~ "Where would she like to meet with us?" He glances over to Brianna. "There are options. Ones I am considering...IF this is what happened. It may not be. But without Catie in our possession, we are without power. Therefore, retrieving her is our first priority."

Shadowfae -> Troy Lawrence: ~ss~ "She will meet you here, if that is your wish."

Brianna McCarthy: A short nod.

Troy Lawrence: ~SS~ "That would be most agreeable, Sokol. Thank you." He sighs and moves to take a particularly nasty-looking skinning knife off of the wall, and then heads to retrieve it's sheath. "There is a child of Falcon coming to meet with us...a spirit. She has been hunting for another Silver Fang kin she believes is in danger. She will help us."

Brianna McCarthy: She raises an eyebrow, but allows that for now. "Fine."

Troy Lawrence: The sheath is taken out of a drawer, and he slides the knife in, clipping the securing strap into place and positioning the sheath inside his jacket.

Shadowfae: Almost as soon as it's said, there is a rap on the door. Three, in quick succession.

Brianna McCarthy: A hand reaches for the sheathed knife on her arm, and she slides eyes to the door.

Troy Lawrence: He moves to the door with a few quick, direct paces and opens it.

Shadowfae: Standing outside is a young woman, maybe twenty-six. She's just shy of beautiful, regal features a little sharp to make it past striking. Her hair is a glorious coppery-blonde, not quite a natural shade, like someone made strawberry blonde metalic. She's trim and muscular, with slim hips and a not so prominant chest that if her hair were shorter, or her clothes less fitted, she'd fall into androgeny. She's wearing jeans and a blue and purple tie-dye shirt. Blue-tinted sunglasses hide her eyes.

Brianna McCarthy: Her eyes widen in surprise, and her hand drops from her knife to turn towards the girl standing in the doorway. And then she quirks a smile.

Shadowfae: Very carefully, as though she has to think about the motion, she returns Brianna's smile.

Troy Lawrence: A raised brow from him. "Good evening. May I help you?"

Brianna McCarthy: "Hi Hawk." A murmur, relaxing slightly.

Shadowfae: "You may. I'm looking for one of our kin who has been misplaced." Friendly? To Troy? Oh, hell no. If anything, she seems not to want to look at him, and a little annoyed circumstances dictate she address him.

Shadowfae: "I did not expect to see you again." There is a pause, before she adds to that rather neutral statement as an afterthought. "A pleasant surprise."

Brianna McCarthy: "I didn't expect to see you again either. And I agree." Still that little smile.

Troy Lawrence: "Ahh, of course." A little nod, and he steps aside to let her in. "Please, by all means...enter."

Shadowfae: She walks in, looking around the apartment, sniffing at the air. "You have come far from home. Is one of your kin misplaced as well?"

Brianna McCarthy: A small shake of her head to Hawk.

Troy Lawrence: He shuts the door behind the Hippy, and folds his hands behind his back. "Who is the kin you seek, if I may ask?"

Shadowfae: "One that was lost when his pack was destroyed as they attempted to rescue him. I am completing their final mission."

Brianna McCarthy: She has this look, as if asking Hawk if it was the same kin she saved.

Shadowfae: "Not Dusty. I haven't seen him since before I left you. Have you-" She frowns. "Heard from him?"

Brianna McCarthy: "No... but I can look into it. I'm sure I could find him." She inclnes her head slightly.

Shadowfae: "It would be appreciated. I of course, have not contacted you." She turns to look at Troy. "How did you come to misplace your kin?"

Brianna McCarthy: She nods, and looks trouble again at the thought of the missing Catie.

Troy Lawrence: A short silence, Troy watching Hawk impassively, before he answers. "She was, we believe, possibly taken from her apartment by persons unknown."

Brianna McCarthy: "Chimal's coming." A murmur, glancing at a cellphone, and then back up again.

Chimal Miquiztli: He's on his way to the place Brianna said they were, risking driving over the speed limit, where he can, a bit reckless.

Chimal Miquiztli: ((And I'll arrive when Shadowfae deems him arrived.*S*))

Shadowfae: "Well, one of them is known." She shrugs. "And if possible I would like to keep him. If not, I will see to it that he is properly buried and find a new task to complete." She doesn't really seem to care either way, so long as this task is finished and another placed before her.

Troy Lawrence: He gives Hawk a look. "You believe this kin you seek was involved in Catie's kidnapping?"

Brianna McCarthy: She crosses her arms again.

Shadowfae: "He was taken in by other misplaced kin, who presumably rescued him before I was able. They are misled. They took one other that I know of, and had barely escaped by the time I arrived. I followed them here, and then to where your kin vanished. I don't see that this is important."

Brianna McCarthy: "That could be very important. It might have been them that took her." Her brow furrows.

Troy Lawrence: A blink, and then he nods. "I see. Any idea where to begin searching?"

Chimal Miquiztli: ~Ziiiiiip~ The black Lexus glides into a parking place. Maybe it wasn't a parking place before, but it is now, and Chimal leaps out, barely remembering to press the button for the automatic lock. He trots over. "Anything?"

Shadowfae: "It was, I am certain. Why is not part of what I need to understand. It is simple. I am to rescue him or give him a proper burial."

Chimal Miquiztli: ~He looks about as frazzled as anyone has *ever* seen him, since he's normally as laid back as a fat tabby.~

Brianna McCarthy: She runs a hand over her braids with a small sigh. ((They're in an apartment... *G*))

Troy Lawrence: ((They're inside an apartment, Chimal.))

Chimal Miquiztli: ((~lol~ Ok)) Well, the stranger he said "anything?" to gives him the STRANGEST look, and then Chimal is racing to the apartment, buzzing and knocking.

Chimal Miquiztli: ((No one said. ~L~ I assumed street.))

Troy Lawrence: He looks to the door and then moves over, opening it and looking down to Chimal with an appraising look. "Good evening, Chimal. Come in."

Chimal Miquiztli: "Troy." He nods with respect, but is foregoing the usual formalities as he steps inside, some frazzle giving his laid-back demeanor a new edge.

Shadowfae: Hawk looks over at the opening door, notes ANOTHER Garou, and sighs. "Brianna. We should go."

Troy Lawrence: The door shuts, and he looks over to the women. "As I said...any idea where to begin looking?"

Brianna McCarthy: "The kin who was taken? This is her mate Hawk." A low murmur. "That's why he's here. But if you have an idea where to start, than by all means, let's go."

Shadowfae: "That way." Hawk points north west.

Chimal Miquiztli: He looks between them all, then to Hawk intently. He chooses to listen,not speak. Learn better that way.

Shadowfae: "Her...mate." That seems to gentle her a little, but she seems even more anxious to leave now, pacing along the wall with the most windows.

Chimal Miquiztli: "I'm ready to go now," he agrees.

Brianna McCarthy: "Chimal, this is Hawk. I've worked with her before." She reassures Chimal. She moves towards Hawk, though careful not to crowd her.

Troy Lawrence: "By all means, we shall go. We'll take my car." He turns to lead them to the door, and out to the street.

Shadowfae: She follows Troy, with a little scowl.

Chimal Miquiztli: Brianna: "Then she has my trust." And he follows.

Brianna McCarthy: And she goes too!

Troy Lawrence: He leads them out to the black Infinity parked outside, hitting the auto-locks. The driver's-side seat is quickly filled, and as soon as everyone's in, the OnStar map system is engaged, and he's driving, as straight northwest as possible. "Tell when to turn away from northwest."

Chimal Miquiztli: He sits ramrod straight, peering out the windows as if Catie might wander by.

Shadowfae: They drive around, their progess hindered a little by the fact that roads don't change direction when Hawk wants them to. But after some searching, they find a house down a long, unkept gravel drive, that seems to be the correct place. Driving down may alert anyone in the house.

Troy Lawrence: The car is stopped before they hit the driveway, and he kills the engine.

Chimal Miquiztli: He slips out, looking to Hawk, then to Brianna as if asking if she's alright to...do things around. You know that look.

Troy Lawrence: He's out of the car, and he looks to Hawk. "So, am I correct in assuming the group is all kin, based on what you said?"

Shadowfae: "So far as I am aware. They are disillusioned. That is how I heard them spoken of."

Chimal Miquiztli: "I could sneak up close for a...sniff," he murmurs.

Brianna McCarthy: The kin moves with them. Stay behind? Pah. And she nods to Chimal

Troy Lawrence: "Chimal, head to the other side of the Gauntlet." He looks to Hawk. "If you would go with him? I would suggest us all, but..." He shrugs. "Not all of us may go. Brianna and I can sneak up on this side."

Chimal Miquiztli: He nods, slipping behind the car and peering into one of its side mirrors, stepping through the looking glass. ((Rolling.))

Chimal Miquiztli: 5,7,5,

Brianna McCarthy: She nods slightly, fingers running over the sheathed knife briefly.

Shadowfae: She shakes her head. "If I cross over, I will not be able to return. I am...bound to a promise I made."

Brianna McCarthy: "Then Hawk and I can sneak up." She murmurs easily. "And you can go with Chimal."

Troy Lawrence: He seems less comfortable with that idea...perhaps, because it's not HIS idea. But he nods, breifly, and proceeds to step through. ((GN))

Troy Lawrence: 6,5,9,10,8,

Brianna McCarthy: Bri watches them slip sideways, and then looks to Hawk. And then to the house.

Shadowfae: She shrugs, waiting until the Garou are gone. "Shall we?" With them gone, her presence is a little softer.

Brianna McCarthy: "Sounds good to me." She smiles, briefly... but it's a little grim. She starts to move towards the house, looking for a way to sneak around.

Troy Lawrence: Across the other side, he looks over to Chimal, and gestures with his head toward the house. "Come, let's go." He leads the way, venturing on.

Shadowfae: [Umbral] It takes a bit longer for Chimal to cross, but there is nothing remarkable about the umbra here. A few trees still standing in the umbral field and a slightly newer looking ghostly house.

Chimal Miquiztli: He was already starting to walk that way, and makes himself pull back. He accepts Troy's leadership for the moment - all he wants is Catie.

Shadowfae: [Brianna] [Dex-stealth roll for me....]

Brianna McCarthy: ((spending wp))

Brianna McCarthy: 3,5,9,

Shadowfae: 2,3,8,6,3,3,10,9,

Troy Lawrence: Accept it now or later...acceptance of it is inevitable. He leads on, heading toward the house, eyes intent for any sign of special guardians left in the Umbra for just such an occasion. He's sure there are some.

Chimal Miquiztli: He is also looking around carefully, and for any sign that...other beings may be just beyond the velvet curtain between the worlds.

Shadowfae: [Umbra] There is no sign of any resistance, though as they draw closer to the house they see a handful of banes that look like black dragon-flies with red shimmers. A fatter and larger version of the same (about the size of a small dog) is up on the second floor of the house. Hawk is also visible in the umbra, as solid seeming here as there.

Chimal Miquiztli: He bares his human fangs, shifting to Crinos in automatic response to the presence of Banes. His Catie is in there?

Chimal Miquiztli: ((The question being in his own mind *S* not player asking.))

Troy Lawrence: He scowls at sight of the banes. "Disillusioned," he mutters. "Interesting euphemism." He moves to shift to Glabro. ((Sta+PU))

Troy Lawrence: 9,3,9,6,

Shadowfae: [Brianna] She and Hawk creep up to the house. There is a girl moving about in what looks to be the kitchen, cleaning up. She does not notice them, not really paying attention to anything outside. Upstairs, a light is on. Light also seeps up, through a window recessed just below ground level in the gardens to the side of the house.

Chimal Miquiztli: ~garou~ "We kill, yes? Take Catie, kill bad?"

Brianna McCarthy: Her eyes flick around, looking for any signs of Catie... and a way to get in without raising too much noise.

Brianna McCarthy: 5,6,4,7,3,

Troy Lawrence: "Kill the Banes. The kin...we will see. If they use silver, kill. Otherwise, disable if at all possible." And he moves to charge ahead, toward the Banes.

Chimal Miquiztli: He also charges for the Banes, the biggest one in his sights.

Shadowfae: [Brianna] hears a faint 'clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk' sound coming from that lower window.

Shadowfae: [Umbral] Init rolls.

Brianna McCarthy: She carefully sneaks towards that lower window, checking to see what's making that noise. She makes sure Hawk is still around too.

Chimal Miquiztli: 3,

Troy Lawrence: 7,

Troy Lawrence: ((12 in current form))

Chimal Miquiztli: (10)

Shadowfae: 9,

Shadowfae: [Umbral] Order goes Evil (13), Troy (12), and Chimal (10). Declare and roll actions. The larger bane, the only one that's seen them so far, flies toward Chimal to attack.

Shadowfae: [Brianna] One more dex/stealth. Hawk remains where she's hidden, watching Brianna intently.

Chimal Miquiztli: A challenging roar and he charges and attacks the big bane! With his massive fangs and salivating jaws, *BITE*! ((I assume lowest declare first?))

Chimal Miquiztli: 4,6,6,6,2,5,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((rolling dmg))

Brianna McCarthy: ((wp again))

Brianna McCarthy: 7,2,7,

Chimal Miquiztli: 4,10,5,1,7,8,8,5,6,3,6,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((6 agg dmg))

Shadowfae: (It's a plan. 8))

Troy Lawrence: ((2 Rage spent; 1 to shift to Crinos. Blame Reyna for me constantly going to Glabro first. :P)) He unleashes a strike against the Bane, with another one on the way. ((Dex+Brawl))

Troy Lawrence: 9,5,3,5,2,3,

Troy Lawrence: 4,1,10,6,7,4,7,2,

Shadowfae: [Brianna] gets to the window where the sound is coming from and sees Catie there, tapping on the dirty glass by poking something through the metal grate on the inside.

Shadowfae: 2,6,2,4,5,7,5,

Shadowfae: [Chimal] Roll soak for me.

Shadowfae: [Troy] roll your Rage action.

Chimal Miquiztli: 4,8,9,9,6,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((all I can say is...yay for Crinos))

Troy Lawrence: Rawr slash kill.

Troy Lawrence: 4,3,9,7,4,1,

Troy Lawrence: 1,4,2,9,7,2,7,5,6,

Brianna McCarthy: She licks her lips, and tries to move so Catie can see her.

Catie: 10,5,3,10,9,2,

Catie: *the dark, reddened eyes widen with hope and relief and joy, welling up again. she blinks back the tears and makes NO cry. keeps pounding dully at the window and taps beisde her eye. then holds up three fingers, followed by a wavering, indecisive hand*

Brianna McCarthy: She nods, and gives her a proud, reassuring smile. She glances around the window, looking for an alarm system, and a way to remove the window. Then she looks back to Hawk. She holds up one finger, and points to the window. And then holds up three fingers, and points to the house itself. But her hand waves a bit. There might be more inside.

Shadowfae: [Umbral] The bloated dragonfly bane flies at Chimal, getting slashed by Troy before landing on Chimal. His angrily buzzing wings slash at Chimal, but he does no damage, and Chimal chomps down on him. A little bit of noxious green slime bleeds from the creature and onto Chimals tounge. Troy claws at the pinned bane again. It's exoskeleton is cracked and sliced in a few places now, more slime dripping out onto Chimal's fur. (New round, declare and roll.)

Catie: *blinks suddenly and looks down at her cat. pauses with the banging long enough to bend down and scoop Bana up, draping part of the bulky feline over her slmi shoulder. speaking to the cat in a hoarse voice* it's all right, Bana.... it's ok...*just in case he's still out there on the other side of the door. nods toward the door, giving Bri wide, warning eyes*

Shadowfae: [Brianna] the window looks pretty solid, and the grate past it even more so. It doesn't look like Catie can get out that way.

Chimal Miquiztli: He spits violently and tries not to swallow the bile. No more biting, claws are better. He slashes out at the Bane.

Chimal Miquiztli: 4,3,6,2,2,4,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((rolling dmg))

Chimal Miquiztli: 4,4,9,3,8,9,8,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((4 agg))

Troy Lawrence: A snarl, and he rips at the bloated mosntrosity one more time before leaving it to Chimal, and turning toward the house, running ahead. ((Split between Dex+Brawl and Dex+Athletics; Brawl first))

Troy Lawrence: 6,4,4,8,

Shadowfae: The bane leans down to bite Chimal. The other banes, alerted by the buzzing, fly toward them.

Troy Lawrence: ((Damage))

Shadowfae: 4,3,9,8,6,4,1,

Troy Lawrence: 6,5,10,9,10,9,2,2,8,

Troy Lawrence: ((Dex+Athletics))

Brianna McCarthy: She nods again, and loooks Catie in the eye. It's a solid, reassuring look. She slowly mouths to the girl. 'We're going to get you. We're coming in. Stay strong. You're doing good."

Shadowfae: (And damage, yes.)

Troy Lawrence: 5,4,

Troy Lawrence: Okay, so he's not so fast. Maybe it was all the clawing he did that tired him out.

Chimal Miquiztli: ((need a soak from me?))

Catie: *nods, dark eyes trusting and manages a little smile. and just in case Remi's still out there and wondering why she stopped, she begins her monotonous banging again*

Brianna McCarthy: She slowly slips away from the window and back towards Hawk.

Shadowfae: [Umbral] The bane bites Chimal, sticking it's tongue into the wound and drinking blood. Some of the cracks start to seal up before Chimal and Troy attack it again, nearly tearing it apart.

Shadowfae: [Brianna] Dex stealth as she crosses back to Hawk.

Chimal Miquiztli: This time, he really means to kill this thing! He explodes with Rage and slashes out at it! ((Spending 1 Rage. First action is to claw. Rage action, when it's time, will be to claw with other hand.))

Brianna McCarthy: ((wp))

Brianna McCarthy: 2,7,5,

Chimal Miquiztli: 3,2,8,6,7,1,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((rolling agg dmg))

Chimal Miquiztli: 3,10,2,4,9,9,2,7,7,3,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((holding Rage action for turn))

Troy Lawrence: ((1 Rage)) He continues his way on to the new attackers, launching off an attack and (rage acgion) a dodge.

Shadowfae: 9,2,4,

Troy Lawrence: 9,6,7,4,3,7,

Troy Lawrence: 6,8,7,3,1,6,5,7,8,1,4,

Shadowfae: [Umbral] The other banes fly at Troy, two of the five speeding past him toward Chimal.

Catie: *finally stops beating on the window, letting out a few sobs so maybe, if he's there, he'll think she's starting to give up hope. and very cautiously moves to the bathroom to get those saved strips. BAna IS coming with her when they get in here. and so a leash would be a good idea. next she'll ready the pillowcase to wrap around her cat. claws hurt and scared cats use them*

Shadowfae: 4,9,10,1,1,6,

Shadowfae: 9,2,9,1,9,5,

Shadowfae: 10,2,3,4,2,9,

Troy Lawrence: ((Rolling Dodge for Rage Action))

Troy Lawrence: 5,2,4,5,4,

Shadowfae: [Troy] roll dodge.

Shadowfae: [Chimal] roll the second attack. The big bane is dead, so you're swiping at the little ones.

Troy Lawrence: ((*Points up* He's not very dodgey. More like...shifty. *Nods*))

Chimal Miquiztli: ((rolling Rage action, claw on big bane))

Chimal Miquiztli: 10,9,8,1,5,1,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((rolling dmg))

Chimal Miquiztli: 8,3,3,6,3,3,2,1,3,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((big bane, I meant little bane *S*))

Shadowfae: [Troy] Gah. He should do something about that. Roll soak for me then - 3 soaks. 1/2/2

Catie: *once Bana has a leash tied to her collar, the end knotted into a loop for her own wrist, she settles tensely on the mattress, petting the grey cat. pillowcase draped over her lap, cat on top of that.*

Brianna McCarthy: She slips back to Hawk quietly.

Troy Lawrence: 1,8,6,9,7,5,

Troy Lawrence: 6,10,6,2,10,10,

Troy Lawrence: 10,4,9,8,2,7,

Troy Lawrence: ((Who needs to dodge? Not Troy!))

Shadowfae: [Umbral] Troy smashes on of the banes out of the air as they swarm him. The three bane swarm is not so effective. Chimal kills the big bane, and swipes at one of the little ones, who buzz a lot but don't bite this round. (New round, new actions.)

Chimal Miquiztli: He claws at one of the small buzzing banes. ((rolling)) Roaring his fury and obscenities.

Chimal Miquiztli: 4,9,9,3,9,3,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((please ignore, unfortunately. I'm down one die and I had forgotten that time))

Shadowfae: [Not Umbra] Brianna gets back to Hawk, who just nods, found the misplaced kin - she gets it. Catie has Bana about ready to go.

Chimal Miquiztli: 2,4,10,7,6,

Troy Lawrence: Troy smash. Smash banes good. Another couple of claw rakes. ((Split actions))

Chimal Miquiztli: 6,9,5,10,10,8,3,1,6,6,6,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((that was dmg))

Troy Lawrence: 2,4,7,7,

Troy Lawrence: 8,6,7,

Troy Lawrence: ((Damages follow))

Troy Lawrence: 9,7,4,2,3,3,2,7,5,

Brianna McCarthy: She gestures to the house, lips pursed. They have to go inside somehow.

Troy Lawrence: 8,9,3,5,1,9,4,3,8,5,

Shadowfae: 7,4,5,2,10,

Shadowfae: 3,10,6,7,6,9,

Catie: *the girl carefully wraps her cat in the pillowcase, tucking the leash over her wrist and looping it a couple of times. murmuring in her roughened voice soothingly as she keeps petting the creature, so she won't flip at teh sense of confinement. *

Shadowfae: [Troy] Roll to soak twice. 2/5

Shadowfae: 5,7,1,5,6,9,

Troy Lawrence: 7,6,4,3,6,3,

Troy Lawrence: 3,3,7,9,10,6,

Shadowfae: [Chimal] Soak roll 2

Chimal Miquiztli: 4,2,7,4,

Chimal Miquiztli: 9,7,8,4,

Shadowfae: [Brianna] Hawk nods. "Wait here until they're distracted." She rises purposefully and takes a few steps directly toward the house.

Brianna McCarthy: She presses her lips, but nods to Hawk, and crouches. Waiting.

Shadowfae: [Umbral] Troy swipes at both banes still flying slowing them down. Chimal sends one to the ground with a little splatter. The three banes still flying start to zip off, sensing a losing battle. (You can chase them and try to finish them this round - or go back to help Brianna and Hawk.)

Catie: *keeps cradling her cat, trying not to chew on her lip any more. it hurts by now*

Chimal Miquiztli: ((Holding action.)) He looks to Troy for the cue. He knows how to follow an Alpha.

Troy Lawrence: ~HT~ "Kill. They shall give no warning to others." He charges after, trusting in Brianna and Hawk. Sokol trusts Hawk, and Troy trusts Brianna. That is enough. ((You want Dex+Ath to chase, or just Dex+Brawls? Last Rage, either way))

Shadowfae: [Umbral] Just Dex/Brawl one free shot as they try to escape.

Chimal Miquiztli: Charges a Bane after Troy. ((Lost this turn or do we get a shot as the banes get a shot?))

Chimal Miquiztli: ((after Troy commands, that is))

Troy Lawrence: ((Okay. Rolling 1 Dex+Brawl; lemme know if I can use my rage action for another one.))

Troy Lawrence: 4,9,8,5,8,3,

Troy Lawrence: 3,3,5,8,1,3,6,8,3,9,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((will roll a claw slash at one, ignore if I lost this turn *S*))

Chimal Miquiztli: 2,3,3,2,4,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((no dmg to roll))

Shadowfae: [Not Umbral] Hawk walks right up to the kitchen window and flicks her balled hands open at it. There is a sudden cold wind and hail strikes the window - shattering it. Hawk breaks perfect automaton form to glance back at Brianna and smile that careful smile again. 'See,' her look says. 'I'm quite distracting.' Inside the girl is scrambling back from the window.

Catie: *rests her head against the cat's for a moment* ((sorry for the inanity--i'm trying to keep my nick from dropping.))

Shadowfae: (Rage action to slash is appropriate.)

Brianna McCarthy: She rises smoothly. That IS a very nice distraction. Time for her to get inside and get Catie OUT.

Troy Lawrence: 4,9,3,3,4,9,

Troy Lawrence: 2,3,5,4,9,7,6,2,10,

Shadowfae: [Umbral] Only two banes are still flying, one just barely. The other bane zips around, trying to buy it time to flee as it flies slowly and erratically onward. (You've got another round, as one is moving at crawl speed and the other is baiting you.)

Shadowfae: [Not Umbral] Following the crash, Catie hears the sound of someone running up the stairs. Hawk climbs through the window into the kitchen, heading for the girl.

Chimal Miquiztli: Not a very rageful creature for a Garou, he goes for the crawl speed bane, with a downward slash of his claws. ((rolling))

Brianna McCarthy: She slides to a door, ready to dart in as soon as possible and find Catie.

Chimal Miquiztli: 8,3,3,10,4,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((dmg next))

Chimal Miquiztli: 9,7,7,8,10,3,2,8,4,8,

Troy Lawrence: He will finish the fast one. Bad, BAD baney. ((Split actions; WP to second))

Troy Lawrence: 7,3,9,6,

Troy Lawrence: 8,2,6,

Catie: *chews her poor lip again, arms tightening on Bana, whoyowls in protest. Catie eases her grip, swallows hard and shifts tensely*

Chimal Miquiztli: ((woah))

Troy Lawrence: ((Damage rolls follow))

Troy Lawrence: 7,4,6,6,8,8,3,9,2,7,

Brianna McCarthy: ((I tell you. The theurges kick ASS on this site))

Troy Lawrence: 8,3,3,8,9,8,7,7,2,8,

Troy Lawrence: ((I'll double your whoa, Chimal. And raise you a holy shit. *G*))

Chimal Miquiztli: ((This from a Garou with Rage 2. *LOL*))

Catie: ((*blinks and signs up for ya'll's classes in servicing the roller!*))

Shadowfae: [Brianna] finds the front door unlocked, and slips in. Ahead of her a flight of stairs leads up. There is an open hallway to the living room in front of her, to the side of the staircase, and a closed door in that hallway. To her right an open doorway leads to a library. The kitchen is to her left.

Chimal Miquiztli: And he can't help but give a monstrous grin to Troy. Kinda sees why Ahrouns find this fun.

Troy Lawrence: 2,9,6,2,2,

Shadowfae: [Umbral] Troy and Chimal DESTROY the last two banes.

Brianna McCarthy: ((rolling intelligence+investigation to figure out which way to get to Catie.))

Brianna McCarthy: 1,6,2,6,

Troy Lawrence: The Alpha of the Peace Eagle pack is completely impassive throughout, nothing more then a disdainful curl of the lip, and something ugly hiding behind his eyes, as he does his work.

Troy Lawrence: Once they're dead, he looks to Chimal, shifting back to Homid. "The house." And he heads that way, fingers flexing slightly, as if they were still claws.

Chimal Miquiztli: Shifts to Lupus, a rangy Mexican wolf with black fur, and he lopes to the house.

Catie: *tries to keep herself calm by breathing as she does when she meditates, snuggling the cat close. Bana, at least, seems to be somewhat enjoying herself, with all this petting*

Troy Lawrence: He walks straight into the house, looking around for Umbral Reflections he recognizes, and ones he doesn't. ((You want Per+Alert or Invest?))

Brianna McCarthy: 7,6,3,9,7,

Shadowfae: [Troy] Perception/Alertness

Chimal Miquiztli: He follows Troy, looking around alertly. ((Chimal has Enigmas as well.))

Shadowfae: [Brianna] You hear footsteps coming downstairs.

Chimal Miquiztli: ~and sniffing, of course~ ((rolling too))

Chimal Miquiztli: 9,5,4,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((-2 dif for Lupus, down one die))

Brianna McCarthy: "Move." She says it calmly, if he doens't move, she shoves.

Troy Lawrence: 6,8,2,3,

Brianna McCarthy: Actually, she waits to time the shove so she shoves him into the one coming down the stairs. If he doesn't move

Shadowfae: He doesn't move, just tries to brace himself to keep the door closed, looking expectantly in the direction of the staircase leading up.

Catie: *keeps pushing the bedframe, nuzzling her cat gently*

Brianna McCarthy: Thaaaan she tries to time it, and shove him into the person coming down the stairs.

Shadowfae: [Troy] can see Hawk, and someone he doesn't know in the kitchen. Brianna and one person are in the hallway wit another headed downstairs toward them.

Shadowfae: [Chimal] can smell Catie, just barely, beneath them.

Shadowfae: [Brianna] hears the footsteps pause.

Chimal Miquiztli: "She here," he growls very softly in the umbra, looking at the 'ground' beneath his paws.

Troy Lawrence: He moves to back up Brianna, stepping through the Gauntlet on the other side of the hallway, where he and Brianna have the two penned in. ((WP on GN roll))

Brianna McCarthy: Well. That plan failed. She gives the guy an almost apologetic look... and then HURLS into him to move him from the door. She leads with her shoulder, so her body is MOSTLY protected.

Troy Lawrence: "Get to her," is all he says to Chimal before he steps through.

Troy Lawrence: 4,4,6,2,2,

Chimal Miquiztli: He shifts to Homid, then steps through. ((Squeezing out a WP for it, too.))

Chimal Miquiztli: 9,9,2,

Shadowfae: The one Brianna shoves staggers back, and sees Troy, then flattens against the wall. The one waiting on the stairs curses and then corrects his angle to shoot at Troy. [Init rolls]

Brianna McCarthy: 10,

Troy Lawrence: 8,

Troy Lawrence: ((13))

Shadowfae: [Chimal and Catie] Chimal steps through into the room where Catie and Bana are. Yay!

Brianna McCarthy: ((16))

Chimal Miquiztli: 8,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((14))

Shadowfae: 8,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((oops *S* didn't need my init then? *L*))

Chimal Miquiztli: In that case...he silently sweeps Catie, cat and all, into a grateful hug.

Catie: *gasps sharply and then hurtles herself Chi-ward with her arms full of cat, coughing slightly*

Shadowfae: (15 - so - Brianna, Evil, Chimal, Troy) Declare and roll.

Shadowfae: (Sure I did Raven, I'll need a Dex/Ath roll to hug Catie... *G*)

Shadowfae: The man on the stairs shoots at Troy.

Catie: ((she's tied a bunch strips of sheets from the doorknob to the window grate, btw. and gunked up the lock. *L*)) *shivers and nestles close to him. Bana yowls unhappily. squished AND next to that dog-smelling creature her pet human likes so well*

Shadowfae: 7,2,5,10,6,10,

Chimal Miquiztli: 3,8,

Troy Lawrence: Please let it not be fucking silver. He throws himself to the side in a dodge.

Brianna McCarthy: Hauling ass DOWN the stairs, as she has no idea Chi is there with Catie.

Chimal Miquiztli: ((How's that? *S*))

Troy Lawrence: 9,4,9,3,

Chimal Miquiztli: Whispers, "We have to get you out of here first." He shifts to Crinos, even if he has to squish and will attempt to break out the window. ((what should I roll for that, straight strength?))

Brianna McCarthy: And yelling Catie's name.

Catie: *nods and yells back to Brianna, or tries to. funny, she's calling her by Chi's name.......funny, that....*

Chimal Miquiztli: ((str roll))

Chimal Miquiztli: 8,1,4,9,4,

Shadowfae: 2,2,8,5,8,

Shadowfae: [Troy] roll to soak 2 not silver dmg.

Shadowfae: [Chimal] hits the window hard - but that grate doesn't want to give. It groans and hits the glass, shattering that.

Catie: *winces and chews her poor, poor lip, arms full of struggling feline. calls out to Bri again, hoarsely*

Catie: are you all right, Chi? *murmurs in her roughened voice*

Shadowfae: [Troy] is left on his own with the kin shooting at him. The other waits only a few seconds before chasing down the stairs after Brianna.

Shadowfae: [Brianna] comes to a locked door at the bottom of the stairs.

Brianna McCarthy: She hears the hoarse yelling. And halfway down the stairs, she turns around to go back UP the stairs.

Troy Lawrence -> Shadowfae: ((WP roll for Cruelty-Prone derangement not to rip man apart))

Troy Lawrence: 8,4,3,3,7,

Brianna McCarthy: Or at the BOTTOM of the stairs, she turns around to go back up

Troy Lawrence: OUCH. He gets shot, giving a loud shout of pain, and tries to shift up to Glabro. ((Sta+PU, WP spent for auto-success))

Chimal Miquiztli: Rolls his eyes, but his back is to Catie so she can't see that. Women! Am I alright?! Just because I wasn't he-man enough to break this stupid window! He wraps his huge furry mitts around the grate to RIP it out. ((will roll on turn))

Brianna McCarthy: ((dex+athl to get past him?))

Chimal Miquiztli: 2,1,9,3,8,

Troy Lawrence: 9,5,8,

Catie: ((*L@Chi!*)) *makes sure she's out of Chi's way, pressing against the wall as she tries to soothe ethe cat*

Shadowfae: [Chimal] the grate finally gives, leaving a small opening ringed with shattered glass and sharp metal. Maybe not the best way out....

Chimal Miquiztli: Shakes his head. But at least he did it! He turns to Catie, shifting down to Glabro so that his speech is coherent, and human. "Put the cat in the pillowcase. I'm going to wrap myself around both of you after I crack open the door, and shield you out of here."

Shadowfae: [Troy] makes it to Glabro. The kin on the stairs continues to aim at Troy, trying to figure out if he should retreat or make his stand here. He takes a few slow steps backward up the stairs.

Catie: *nods to him, with a tiny smile. kneels and scruffs Bana, grunting a bit as she tries to manuever fifteen pounds of cat into the pillowcase without letting go of the cat's nape*

Chimal Miquiztli: ((sorry, I was out of turn there))

Brianna McCarthy: 7,10,6,2,6,

Shadowfae: [Brianna] is in the staircase with that same kin who looks at her rather helplessly. He seems to have no concept of what to do about her.

Brianna McCarthy: She tries to shove/slip her way past the kin blocking her way out the door on the stairs. Without sending him headfirst down the stairs too. ((that was dex+ath to get past him))

Shadowfae: [Brianna] manages to slip past him. He just moves down to the floor to guard the door.

Troy Lawrence: He glares at the kin with the gun, and starts advancing. Slow, deliberate motions, his hand held out for the gun. "Hand it over. I'm not going to hurt you," he says in his gutteral Glabro voice.

Brianna McCarthy: She slides back out into the hallway, head whipping around for a second as she tries to debate what to do. Listening for stuff in the kitchen briefly

Chimal Miquiztli: In Glabro he charges the door to break it down, with a Body Slam. ((rolling))

Shadowfae: [Troy] He laughs at that, still backing up the stairs, and fires.

Chimal Miquiztli: 3,1,9,6,

Shadowfae: 9,10,4,2,5,8,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((erm...no sux, it's dif 7))

Shadowfae: 5,9,2,4,7,6,

Troy Lawrence: ((No one ever said the arrogant Fang wasn't an idiot from time to time. *G*))

Shadowfae: [Troy] roll to soak 3.

Troy Lawrence: 7,1,9,7,2,

Troy Lawrence: All right, he had his chance. He charges the kin, swinging for the man's face. ((Aiming for head, so diff 8; WP for auto-success))

Shadowfae: [Chimal] There is a startled yelp from the other side of the door when he crashes into it.

Troy Lawrence: 7,1,5,

Brianna McCarthy: Oh hey, gunshots. She moves to the stairs, and judges if she can throw her knife- or not. Troy got in the way.

Chimal Miquiztli: OH, screw body slamming it! Now that he's *at* the door, he just shifts Crinos and ((spending rage)) slams into it with all his might. ((rolling straight strength))

Chimal Miquiztli: 7,5,4,5,1,

Shadowfae: [Brianna] Kitchen is quiet, Troy's charging up the stairs.

Catie: *winces again, andshoves her poor cat into the pillowcase, letting the leash trail out. gets a grip on her, through the case, with one hand and holds tight as she lefts go of Bana's scruff to grab for the open end of the pillowcase*

Chimal Miquiztli: ((sigh))

Chimal Miquiztli: Way to show my woman how strong am I. Madre de Dios, Chimal, get it together!

Chimal Miquiztli: She could have seen me in the Umbra, ripping apart Banes like a glorious Ahroun, but oh no! She gets to see me lose against a DAMN DOOR!

Catie: ((*LMAO* poor, poor Chimal...*luckily for him, she's catwrangling at the moment, trying to finish getting the cat into the pillowcase. and Bana thrashes, yowling angrily all the while*

Brianna McCarthy: She remains at the bottom of the stairs, knife poised to throw as soon as she has an opening.

Shadowfae: [Troy] With Troy on top of him and Brianna coming, he tries to shove Troy back rather than shoot him. (Troy/Brianna declare and roll.)

Shadowfae: 2,9,3,4,9,5,

Brianna McCarthy: Oh, shit! Glabro! She tries to dodge out of the way, incase Troy DOES fall back.

Brianna McCarthy: 8,1,9,3,9,9,

Troy Lawrence: Yeah, shove the Glabro. While he PUNCHES YOU IN THE FACE! ((3rd WP, diff 8 again))

Troy Lawrence: 9,5,9,

Troy Lawrence: 8,4,5,8,5,4,9,

Chimal Miquiztli: ((woo! Go Troy!))

Shadowfae: 8,3,9,

Shadowfae: 10,9,6,5,1,

Chimal Miquiztli: He's going to attempt to smash down the door again. ((Rolling, spending 1 WP dagnabbit))

Chimal Miquiztli: 6,7,2,3,6,

Shadowfae: The kin staggers barely not falling on the stairs hmself. Dazed eyes try to focus right on Troy as he raises the gun again.

Troy Lawrence: Troy has a look of unnatural serenity on his face as he goes to send more teeth a-flyin'. ((4th WP, diff 8))

Brianna McCarthy: Okay, Troy has it. He can heal anyway. She darts to the kitchen.

Troy Lawrence: 7,2,5,

Troy Lawrence: 7,7,4,8,3,5,

Catie: *carefully struggles upright, holding onto the furious cat for dear life. when claws prick through the pillowcase, she simply grits her teeth and tries to ignore it. murmuring to the poor cat*

Shadowfae: Hawk is in the kitchen, securing two cabinet doors shut with a zip tie. She does that very aware of everything it takes to make it smile.

Brianna McCarthy: "... you just put someone in the cabinent." A blink. "I think your boy is at the bottom of the stairwell."

Shadowfae: Down goes a kin onto the staircase with a heavy thud.

Chimal Miquiztli: ((4 suxx on the door, did it crack? *S*)) He motions Catie over to him, going to shield her.

Shadowfae: And Chimal finally wins his fight with the door, and the sight of him sends the kin in the stairwell scrambling upward, panicked.

Troy Lawrence: 4,7,5,2,10,

Shadowfae: Hawk nods to Brianna. "In there." She says. "Alive. One of yours, I think."

Catie: *comes to her rather furry man's side without hesitation, smiling up at him with trust. somewhat pained as Bana continues to fuss and fight*

Troy Lawrence: ((Was another WP roll)) He manages not to keep beating the kin, and instead just grabs the gun from the floor. He reaches down to pick the man up and carry him down the stairs.

Chimal Miquiztli: He gives a snarling, slavering growl at the panicked kin, a promise to maim, rip off limbs, and the like. But in reality, he takes Catie in his arms with a gentleness that belies his furry monstrous self, and goes to make his way out with her and the terrified cat-in-a-bag, keeping his huge body between her and any danger.

Brianna McCarthy: "... right. Is she unconcious?"

Catie: *curls up against him trustingly, burying her face in his fur. a few tears of relief leaking from her eyes*

Shadowfae: The only kin left loose hits the top of the stairs in time to see Troy carrying his friend and just kinda stops. He stares at Troy with a sort of horrified recognition.

Shadowfae: [Brianna] "Yes," Hawk says

Shadowfae -> Troy Lawrence: [That is undeniably Hawk's missing Fang kin. No mistaking that kind of breeding.]

Troy Lawrence: He frowns and looks at the kin a moment, searching his face for anything familiar.

Brianna McCarthy: "Right. I'm... going to have to let her out. But your guy is out there." She nods slightly. "Thank you Hawk."

Chimal Miquiztli: Hustling Catie and Bana outside, shifting down to Homid just before he steps out of the house.

Troy Lawrence: Ahh. "Calm yourself." He looks at the man staring at him, pretty calm himself. "You're not in any danger from me." Not his responsibility to do that, and he's not getting on her bad side.

Catie: *promptly sticks her face into his neck, shivering with reaction. this has NOT been the happiest day of her life* Chimal....may we go home? soon? *murmurs hoarsely*

Shadowfae: "He's safe now." Hawk says with a shrug. "I have other things to do. Pleasure. To see you again. I don't expect to again." There is a rare hint of amusement in her voice. "Though I've said that to you before. It would not be unwelcome."

Chimal Miquiztli: "Catie, we're putting the cat in the car, then I'm going to find out who's responsible for kidnapping you."

Brianna McCarthy: She grins a little. "If I don't.... be well, be safe. If I do... it'll be a pleasure." She salutes the woman slightly.

Chimal Miquiztli: Soft growl. "I want to hurt someone."

Shadowfae: The kin stays very still. He's not very reassured, but at least he's still.

Catie: it was Remi. he thought he was saving me. *a choked hint of a laugh* he's not the man with the gun, he's the other one. i....want to come with you, please....*absently pats the cat in a sack*

Chimal Miquiztli: Groans. No one gets to get hurt, at least not by him. Well, poop. "Sí." Helps her get the cat in the car, so it can escape the pillowcase but still be contained, then heads back to the house.

Troy Lawrence: "Move down the stairs." He begins to move on down himself, the gun-toting fucker who shot him held over a shoulder.

Brianna McCarthy: She starts to cut through the zip tie with her knife. "Troy?"

Catie: *nods against him, then moves her head to kiss him softly* if it helps, they weren't mean. they even brought Bana so i'd feel....better? safer? because she tried to defend me. *light cough* the man with the gun was the only one who really came close to threatening me.

Shadowfae: He obeys, moving down the stairs slowly, eyes slowly going more and more far away.

Chimal Miquiztli: "I can't even break a leg? Or an arm?" he says plaintively. "What about a jaw? Jaws heal." He keeps an arm tightly around her as they enter the house and he looks for Troy.

Catie: *does her very best barnacle imitation* why don't we just make them all eat my cooking? *it's a weak joke, but she's trying*

Chimal Miquiztli: ((But I really, really have to get to bed. *L* And yet I want to know the rest of the story!))

Chimal Miquiztli: He kisses her forehead and says gently, "Why reward them, honey?" A sweet, if somewhat exaggerated, compliment.

Catie: ((*L* mmrr, ditto, but so do i. *wry grin* this ....wow!!))

Brianna McCarthy: ((The Fianna and shooter go to the sept, Bri takes the Fang kin home woth her to take care of him, and she tells Catie she rocked like whoa?))

Shadowfae: [Have him take care of Catie - everyone else will update them? I think this will wrap for tonight fairly soon....]

Troy Lawrence: He frowns a little at the man's reaction, but there's nothing to be done about it now. Once he makes it to the bottom of the stairs and looks to Chimal, who's just entering. "Take this." The unconscious man is passed off to Chimal.

Catie: *her tired giggle turns into more coughing, but she pokes him lightly anyway, rolling her eyes* i could make them some of that bean stuff. you remember. the stuff not even the strays would eat? *and when she sees Remi she blinks slowly at him, giving Chi an extra firm hug*

Chimal Miquiztli: ((Chimal will stay by Catie's side and thank Troy and Brianna (and Hawk if she's still there) very sincerely and gratefully. Thanks, Fox, that rocked!))

Chimal Miquiztli: ((He and Catie will go with Brianna in case the shooter wakes up in the meantime, okay? That way, she's not alone with him if he comes alive.))

Shadowfae: And Hawk does what she does best. Vanishes with no further explaination what-so-ever.

Chimal Miquiztli: ((Night all!))

Troy Lawrence: ((*Hugs the Harper and the Raven*))

Catie: ((*nods!* and so will Catie. without letting go of Chimal the whole while. *HUGS a Fox tightly* totally awesome!!))

Brianna McCarthy: ((No, Bri's taking the SCARED Kin. *L* Remi.)) The kin grunts, and calls out again. "Troy?"

Shadowfae: Remi doesn't really respond to the sight of Catie at all. Light's on, no one home.

Catie: ((*snugs tightly* night, Raven. *BG*))

Troy Lawrence: He looks from Remi to the kitchen. "Yes?"

Shadowfae: (Thanks for coming out to play! *hugs*)

Brianna McCarthy: "Wanna-" another grunt as the tie is undone, but she holds the cabinet shut "- take someone for me?"

Troy Lawrence: "All right." He looks to catatonic Remi...at least he's still following orders. "Into the kitchen." He makes sure Remi goes first, then follows along into said room.

Shadowfae: Step, step, step. Perfectly obediant kin.

Brianna McCarthy: Her knife has been sheathed, and she glances back at Troy and Remi. Remi she looks over critically, almost worriedly.

Brianna McCarthy: Yes. She's holding someone in the cabinent. No. It wsn't her idea.

Troy Lawrence: A glance to Brianna, his expression calm. "Deal with this one, please." He moves forward, to take her place at the cabinet.

Brianna McCarthy: She slides away, and then holds out a hand for Remi. "I'm sorry I rammed into you."

Shadowfae: There is no movement in the cabinet.

Troy Lawrence: He takes a moment, preparing himself for a potential attack, and then opens the cabinet.

Shadowfae: Remi looks at Brianna. Forcing him to remember what just happened makes him a little more present. "Oh. It's alright," he says absently.

Shadowfae: There is an unconscious girl in there.

Troy Lawrence: A grunt, and he reaches forward, pulling the girl out of the cabinet and checking her for injuries she might die from. Other, non-lethal injuries are ignored for now.

Brianna McCarthy: She takes his hand. Like she would a child. "Would you like to stay with me for a bit?" Only she can make it not sound like a come on. "A place for you to crash. Your choice."

Shadowfae: No immediately lethal injuries on the girl. She's just been battered around a bit. She'll need someone to look her over, but she should live.

Shadowfae: Remi doesn't react to Brianna taking his hand for awhile, then just glances down. "Crashing is good," he says finally. "What will you do with them?"

Troy Lawrence: He nods shortly at his assessment, and looks to Brianna. "Are we ready to go?" Remi is very much ignored for the moment, as if he didn't exist.

Brianna McCarthy: An absent nod to Troy, focused on Remi. He can take away his hand any time he wants. "For now, they'll get patched up. We'll see then."

Shadowfae: He nods. "We're leaving now?" He glances over at the girl.

Brianna McCarthy: "Yes." She says.

Shadowfae: He very gently takes his hand away from Brianna.

Troy Lawrence: He moves straight out of the kitchen, and further out of the house, toward the car.

Brianna McCarthy: She allows it. She simply watches him. She gently gestures for him to go ahead.

Brianna McCarthy: ((That was like the most reduncant sentance ever))

Troy Lawrence: The unconscious girl is put in the trunk, as is the shooter. Good thing the Infiniti M has a spacious trunk. The gun is put into Troy's pocket.

Shadowfae: He moves out, after Troy, before Brianna. [And, cut here for now? As my brain is trying to dissolve into goo?]

Brianna McCarthy: ((yesplz *hugs* thank you Fox))

Troy Lawrence: ((Thanks, Fox! *Hugs on de Fox, and hugs on de Spaz*))

Shadowfae: [No problem. I figured I should occasionaly run scenes. And yeah...this worked.]

Shadowfae: [*hugs for everyone and poofs to ICQ*]

Brianna McCarthy: ((*snuggles all around and crawls off*))
