After talking up a gameplan for leaving the building with Beef, and giving Bethany a few tips and telling her she was being too conspicuous at being inconspicuous, Slo decided that it was going to be infinitely harder to get out of the building than it would be getting in. Hiding Tate's face would only exacerbate the situation. They needed a mass retreat. ... "Beef. Operation SuperSoaker. It's time." ...

Bethany got in the backseat first while Beef jumped over the hood; Slo charged in through the open back door and skidded into the back seat.

Let's Henshin! Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 IC: Deuce (The Optic, Everything is Going Wrong) When Lavinia walked away Deuce smiled, that sudden reaction had confirmed his suspicions. It explained why she had gotten so close, and her odd manner, all a ploy to throw the detective off his guard, but now the tables had turned. "Hey Yoshi," Deuce called off his comm, "By now I trust that you've worked your magic and are watching the place? That women who just walked in the bathroom, keep an eye on anyone leaving that bathroom, particularly from any back doors or back alleys. She's our mark, so let me know when she gets out. Oh and Kenshin stay on alert, you'll probably have to help in cornering her." No sooner had Deuce stated these words, did the fire alarm go off and he found himself caught up in the chaos. Why don't things ever go according to plan? Breaking into a run, Deuce took advantage of the confusion to slip into the women's restroom in pursuit of his target, and taking note of an open window leaped through it and into the alley. "Yoshi, which way did she go? Kenshin, keep an eye on the streets." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perp Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) IC - Adriana Oswell - Laquearia__________ The fire alarm in the Optic sounded and crowds started spilling out onto the streets. Adriana scowled. No matter, she thought, just zoom in on their vehicle and- bzzt The integrated optics of her spotting scope started glitching out, causing the correlated graphics in her Phantom's scope to warp and distort her view. ###### She looked over to the spotting scope. It was sparking occasionally and small wisps of smoke were flicking out from within the computerized chassis.She promptly detached the scope from the hood of her bike and threw it over her shoulder, where it tumbled down to the street below before shattering into shards of glass and plastic. IVX did a really ###### job at fixing that thing. Quickly shutting off the digital display on her scope, she resumed her overwatch just in time to see the trio enter the car and speed off. Her scowl deepened further as she stowed her rifle, shifted to Drive and began following them from her advantageous position a hundred metres above.

His information acquired, Deuce burst out into a run through the alley in the direction Yoshi had given him. On foot there was no normal human he couldn't catch. It wasn't long before he had reached the street and, with a quick glance down the street, caught sight of the culprit. "Kenshin, Yoshi, target is dead ahead, engaging. Oh and Kenshin, try and get here before I'm done." Breaking into another quick jog, no doubt startling a couple pedestrians, Deuce quickly ended up behind Lavinia before slowing back down to a walk.

Silvan Haven Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Kenshin Harken- Chase? IC: Without a word Kenshin kicked off the ground and sent the motorcycle roaring along the street for the short distance needed to reach Deuce and their quarry. Since he was on a vehicle and the other two were on foot for the moment, he decided to make use of his higher speed and looped around the location where his team mate had said they were. "So, are we going to have to take you in for questions the easy way or the hard way?" It was just as Deuce said this that the black clad private detective showed up on his motorcycle in front of the duo, stopping several yards in front of Lovelace and letting the bike idle. "I serve the weak. I serve the helpless. I am their sword and their shield. If you want to strike at them, you must go through me, and I am not so easily moved."

Silvan Haven Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Kenshin Harken- Questioning? IC: Kenshin spoke, the voice modulation mostly gone, with only a slight bit left to prevent anybody recording him from being able to use his voice for some nefarious deed. "Mr. Goto has asked us to investigate a case of blackmail against him in which a woman fitting you description was the culprit. You have to admit jumping out a bathroom window as soon as we got suspicious it was you is not exactly-" Aaaand there she went, off into the crowd in an attempt to commit homicide via angry mob...or at least slow them down if nothing else. This was Karantin though, and nobody lived here and did not pick up at least a little street smarts. Those few who cared about what was going on in this almost war torn upper layer of the city had fair idea of the old "Damsel in Distress routine. Some had probably even fallen victim to it at some point or another. Whatever the case, Kenshin's words had placed enough of a doubt in the minds of the crowd to prevent them from rushing the pair of private detectives. Keeping his bike at a low pur, Kenshin moved through the crowd with Lovelace, talking. "Certainly a couple questions would not hurt, right?"

Let's Henshin! Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 IC: Deuce (Streets, Really Confused) "Hey uh Delta, what just happened?" However if the A.I. had a response it did not voice, Deuce had a feeling that it would have sighed had it been capable of such sounds, that or perhaps it was just subtly calling him an idiot. Either way, the A.I. was not at all responsive towards Deuce's plight, the former freelancer was left to just awkwardly follow after Kenshin. There was a brief delay in his chase however, when he took note of an old lady in the crowd. "Mrs. Tchaikovsky," Deuce raised a hand in greeting, "Good to see you again, I trust your cat is doing well?" A few months back the gang had been hired to rescue a lost cat, the scars from the resulting encounter had been quite painful but every now and then Mrs. Tchaikovsky sent them a batch of cookies, so he considered it to have been well worth it. After receiving the old lady's well wishes and affirmation of Mr. Flufferbottom's well being, Deuce returned to the task at hand. With just a quick sprint he managed to catch up to Kenshin, "So, think things will be under control now? Also what just happened? That's the first time I've seen them not jump into fight or flight."

She smiled to herself as she left the store, proud of herself for seemingly escaping the men. As she walked, she tried to remember what they had been asking her about. Mr. Goto... I barely even remember that... All I did was black mail him... But these guys seem to be the vigilante type, meaning they'll try to turn me in anyway, which is idiotic.

Silvan Haven Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Kenshin Harken- Bemused IC: Lavinia exited the building only to find Kenshin leaning against his bike on the outside curb. Apparently the female operative had assumed that the crowed would deal with them and totally ignored Deuce and Himself afterwards. It was probably one of the easiest tails Harken had ever been a part of. After she entered the store, Yoshi had hacked the security system and made sure that she did not duck out a side door. Deuce seemed content to let Kenshin handle Lovelace, the younger man still somewhat confused at how she had acted. Kid would need a neon flashing sign and both Yoshi and I yelling in his ear to recognize when somebody is flirting with him. Aside from a slightly bemused face under his helmet, Kenshin showed no outward signs of what he was feeling as he looked right at the person they had been chasing. New hair and coat, an effective enough disguise assuming the person you were hiding from was not used to it. Lavinia still walked the same and her face was unchanged, enough for Kenshin to spot her. "I don't have any problem with you, Miss Lovelace. All I need is whatever evidence you showed Mr. Gato and the name of the person who hired you." "I serve the weak. I serve the helpless.

Most of the patrons had already headed home, so the cops didn't have much trouble herding them out of the streets to make way for the other emergency vehicles that quickly arrived on the scene. They started questioning people--the ones that hadn't fled at the first siren, at least. Edited December 6, 2014 by Zulu Yankee Kilo Echo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
