[The Murder Game Series] Murder: The Ties that Bind

[LunarDiscord]

Claire sighed, lowering her gun away from her chest, fitting it back into it's holster after. She simply glared at the cop who moved over towards her, giving him a scoff and turning away from him, she couldn't help but act like a pissy little girl, after all of that drama, including a drunken detective, a cop who was in over his head, and the safety of her brother, she stormed off back to the, thankfully, vacated reception desk once more, her boots loudly clicking away as she made her way there. Upon reaching the desk, rather than walking around it, she vaulted right over the desk from the front of it, the wood of the desk groaning as it clearly wasn't built to handle acrobatics. The desk survived the vault non the less, and Claire sat back in the chair, putting her boots up on the desk as she leans back in the chair, letting out another annoyed sigh.

 

[Flowershadow]

Adachi's eyes stopped narrowing at Chris as he heard him finally come to his senses now, him giving a nod and putting his gun away while looking at the people from those who were on the offensive towards him due to a misfire, and towards the people who had tried to quell their anger; Emiya and Leo, as well as Shiki now. His gaze became a little lighter as a small smile appeared on his face, his own slight amount of anger having been quelled by now as well as he spoke up towards Dandy, Claire, and Chris.


Thank you for finally listening to reason. And thank you three as well. They have itchier trigger fingers in their minds than I do with my actual gun. And for once...it seems I've found someone who thinks like me.





His gaze looked from Leo, and then over at Emiya, his smile twisting slightly into a smirk seeing how Emiya had tried to reason Leo down from the conflict rather coldly, just in the same manner that he was trying to usher the two BSAA operatives and Dandy from their anger. He held his wine bottle out in front of his chest slightly, swinging it side to side slowly.





For once, someone that doesn't think like a dumbass. If things got bad...well, let's just say things would have turned sour for everyone. And thank you as well for sticking up to them. Although, I doubt you were actually trying to defend me.





He looked directly at Leo now, his probing gaze seeming to be searching for an answer as to why Leo tried to calm Claire down as his first instinct. Adachi was a man who, while smart, could have his cocky attitude cause problems, yet his reasoning was correct. If he was trying to take Chris out...this was probably the worst of any time for doing so, thus rendering Adachi a complete dumbass for even thinking of doing so. However, he was not even thinking of doing so. It seemed he was trying to attack the conversation from one side while the others from the other: protection and care for ones close to them, while him with logic and sub-zero level reasoning being his only foundations that he felt he needed.

At the notice of his rifle lowering, he slowly holstered his Glock and looked at the woman, before walking up to her and giving her a quick glance "Sorry about that. Simply doing what I must for the people." He walked over to the BSAA agent and extended his hand to him "Sorry for the intrusion. I don't want to let these people out without any knowledge of the situation."

He nodded, extending a hand, “I understand, officer. I'm BSAA Captain Chris Redfield, we were sent here to rescue civilians from the outbreak. From the looks of it, however, it appears we've failed our objective... with the exception of the survivors holed up here.”

 

[Verite]

Chris nodded, offering a kind half-smile to Verite, “Trying to keep the peace, kid?” He chuckled, extending out a large, gloved hand, “Name's Chris, you know, we could use more people like you in such an event like this. Anyway, what's your name?”

"Ah, I'm not that special. I'm just any other guy," he chuckled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head, "I-I'm Shiki. Shiki Tohno," he introduced himself.


Wow, that worked out way better than I had expected, he thought with relief.

[QUOTE="Reaper Jack]// Verite I haven't named myself yet //
Emiya took notice of the teenager, fine words, but then he was no different at that age, he allowed himself the slightest of smiles. The child was also Japanese, so he supposed he might try and talk to him at some point for that reason if no other. He'd got no response from the policeman, so he walked towards the young Japanese instead.


"Trying to be a hero?" He asked, allowing a tiny amount of warmth to come into his tone of voice.

[/QUOTE]
OOC: Ah, yeah. I know, but I decided that it'd be easier for someone to spot the name "Emiya" instead of if I just typed out "the man in black" or something ^^;;


"Eh? Well, I wouldn't really say that, but you could look at it like that, I suppose," he said, "I believe I'm just doing what any other normal person would do. No one really wants to fight each other, right? Especially since there are those...things outside, killing good people who don't deserve to die."

 

[Centurion_]

Dandy watches in sorrow as Claire walks off.


"Hey...Where you going? Baby."


Dandy hangs his head in shame and sits on the box, then looks for more people to ally with.

"Eh? Well, I wouldn't really say that, but you could look at it like that, I suppose," he said, "I believe I'm just doing what any other normal person would do. No one really wants to fight each other, right? Especially since there are those...things outside, killing good people who don't deserve to die."

Emiya nodded.


"That seems reasonable in our current situation. The things you mentioned; I have yet to see them, could you tell me more about them? I'd like to know what I'm fighting, should it come to that."

 

[Deeox2]

The fair-haired young man took note of the other's hand. It was starting to catch fire, but the stranger didn't seem to mind. All around them, the shouts have been escalating at a rapid rate. "You could count on me during battles; I can certainly finish them if need be. All you need is this," he tapped his temple with his index finger. Lann fished a golden coin out of his pocket and offered it to the stranger. "Take this and I will aid you in your troubles," he said, "but I wish for you to remember. I always pay my debts and so should you." He took a quick glance around him at the other survivors. "Do you have a plan in mind?" he asked with a smile.

There, the conflict was dealt with. One less thing to deal with.


Delta grasped the coin and held it in his hand for a moment, examining each side. With a flourish, it disappeared behind his back. "I will remember your talk of debts well, hopefully there is not insinuation behind your words."


He turned slightly eyeing the crowd. "The gentleman in a red suit is your ally, the current objective is to find allies. You'd do well to find another, mature in both mind and body and recruit them to the cause. Though, that is not an order, take your time."

 

[MrDubWubs]

Isaac wandered away from the pair who seemed to be more than fine with brutality. They might be valuable allies, but they were not the only people here. The standoff across the museum caught his interest, but did not cause him much worry. The involved were using early alloy-projectile model weapons, hardly too big a threat to modern armor. The others however, seemed to be largely sans such protection.
Unwilling to interfere for fear of igniting the powder keg, Isaac simply meandered the lobby, listening to pick up whatever info he could.

*walks over to him* So I see you're new to *looks for the right word and gestures to the entire place* this. Am I right?

 

[TheAlmightyEmperor]

Isaac looked at the man who approached him. It took him a moment to realize that the comment had been directed at him.
"I have no idea what you are talking about," Isaac said honestly. Frankly he was thankful for the helmet, as it kept his expression neutral at all times.

"Ah, my apologies. I thought you were... somebody else. I hope you don't mind my asking, butis that armor effective? It seems a little too thin and flexible. And how is it that your eyes glow? Is it due to the source?"





((If you'd like, Rand can stop interacting with you. I'm just kind of looking for something to do since my partner ain't here.))

 

[MattieLee]

(lol, I love space dandy by the way every time I watch it I laugh)


Kinzie looked at the phone filled with very disturbing pictures to the normal eye but didn't find It odd at all in fact her own computer had tons of hentai on it even though she would never let anyone know about that. She simply ignored it and started to see if she could find out what kind of alternate universe this was... well the boss wasn't president and the saints didn't exist here so she wondered what this place was like.


Matt heard loud noises of arguing and fighting and all sorts of things while Kinzie remained calm and stayed there he was curious as to what was going on so he followed the noises to find that Dandy was in trouble but didn't know what he had done.

 

[dalecoOoOoOper]

“Right...”
He nodded, extending a hand, “I understand, officer. I'm BSAA Captain Chris Redfield, we were sent here to rescue civilians from the outbreak. From the looks of it, however, it appears we've failed our objective... with the exception of the survivors holed up here.”

"Well Captain, so were we. And we did fail aswell. Me, Officer Contreras, and three other officers and troopers were en route to here. Radio transmissions gave way that Las Vegas was calling up for squads all over the south west. Figured I'd help, and I was given an extended jurisdiction."

 

[Akibahara]

"Ah, I'm not that special. I'm just any other guy," he chuckled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head, "I-I'm Shiki. Shiki Tohno," he introduced himself.
Wow, that worked out way better than I had expected, he thought with relief.

Chris ruffled his hair, his hand nearly covered his whole friggin' head! “Well, good work, sport. Keep safe, Miss Redfield can help watch over you.”

Chris grumbled, “Baby...”

 

[Sovereign]

*walks over to him* So I see you're new to *looks for the right word and gestures to the entire place* this. Am I right?

Isaac looks away from the man who clearly had him mistaken for someone, or something else, to the pink-haired woman.


"Yes. I think it is part of the same timeline as mine, just in the past --or perhaps an alternate timeline.

"Ah, my apologies. I thought you were... somebody else. I hope you don't mind my asking, butis that armor effective? It seems a little too thin and flexible. And how is it that your eyes glow? Is it due to the source?"



((If you'd like, Rand can stop interacting with you. I'm just kind of looking for something to do since my partner ain't here.))

Once again looking back to the man, Isaac tipped his head slightly to the left.


"The plates are super-dense alloy designed to withstand extreme trauma. The material under it is a synthetic weave of alloy, ceramic, and fiber that provides an extra layer of defense against some of the harshest conditions and impacts. This suit will offer protection against most modern firearms --modern by my standard-- and cutting surfaces," he explained.

 

[Verite]

[QUOTE="Reaper Jack]Emiya nodded.
"That seems reasonable in our current situation. The things you mentioned; I have yet to see them, could you tell me more about them? I'd like to know what I'm fighting, should it come to that."

[/QUOTE]
"Ah, well, I think I heard Mr. Redfield say they were called the Crossed or something. I've only run into one so far, and it was...well, horrifying to say the least," he began to explain, "It was a man with a red cross-shaped rash on his face. He seemed to be attacking his wife or someone like that, but he didn't seem...human, let alone in his right mind," Shiki continued, doing his best to recall what he had witnessed without breaking into a nervous panic, "He brutally murdered his wife using a butcher knife without hesitation, and then he even proceeded to violate her dead body right there. I was so... I was so appalled I couldn't even get him off her. I just ran away, unable to comprehend what I had seen. They might even be worse than Dead Apostles when it comes to sadism..." He said, accidentally letting out the last part. As far as he knew, creatures like Dead Apostles were only known to him and Arcueid, as well as Ciel-senpai and the Church that she worked for.

Oh, darn! Annie was day-dreaming about destruction again! Everyone was off talking with each other again, leaving her in her own corner. Ah well, she shrugged, and set her teddy bear on fire. She threw him on the group as it erupted, a huge bear standing twice Annie's size on his hind legs. Annie cheered and hugged his side. "Hi Tibbers!~ Welcome to Las Vegas!~"

 

[Akibahara]

[QUOTE="Leo Barnes]"Well Captain, so were we. And we did fail aswell. Me, Officer Contreras, and three other officers and troopers were en route to here.

[/QUOTE]
“I understand, it's good the U.S. Government is trying to keep all officers of the law busy at a time like this, though... I have a favor if you don't mind.” He side-glanced at Adachi, “... He looks like trouble, can you keep a close eye on him?”

 

[Hunter2258]

He stands there, quite confused and at the turn of events but relieved that it all worked out in the end. He glances to the side, looking down a hallway that leads to a restroom then the other way, towards the front entrance. His gaze then turns towards the oh-so cocky Adachi.


"You're a rather colorful one I see? Does your little hand cannon get you in this much trouble all the time?"


Chrom snickers lightly then lets out a soft sigh, thinking to himself.


"I must find Falchion and get back to Ylisse. There is no telling what could be happening right now."

 

[Reaper Jack]

"Ah, well, I think I heard Mr. Redfield say they were called the Crossed or something.

He said, accidentally letting out the last part. As far as he knew, creatures like Dead Apostles were only known to him and Arcueid, as well as Ciel-senpai and the Church that she worked for.

Emiya nodded again.


"Yes from what I was hearing I assumed they were also Dead Apostle-analogues of some description. More violent and more powerful it would seem though."


Emiya stood back, thinking for a time before turning back to Shiki.


"Do you have any weapons? Anything at all to protect yourself with?"

 

[MattieLee]

Kinzie heard Chris mention that the us government was keeping all officers busy, she used to be a member of the FBI herself and was now curious "If you don't mind me asking, what is your rank exactly?"

 

[TheAlmightyEmperor]

Isaac looks away from the man who clearly had him mistaken for someone, or something else, to the pink-haired woman.
"Yes. I think it is part of the same timeline as mine, just in the past --or perhaps an alternate timeline.


Once again looking back to the man, Isaac tipped his head slightly to the left.

This suit will offer protection against most modern firearms --modern by my standard-- and cutting surfaces," he explained.

Rand heard the man mention something about timelines and once the man was done saying scholarly words that may have challenged even Min, he said, "Ah, so I'm possibly in the future. I've experienced a few instances of this, although I suppose this is the first time where I willing traveled here and know how to return. Are you from this era as well? It would seem you're from the age of legends that I've heard about. Tell me, do you have carriages that travel through the air and spears that release lightning?"

 

[MrDubWubs]

Oh, darn! Annie was day-dreaming about destruction again! Everyone was off talking with each other again, leaving her in her own corner. Ah well, she shrugged, and set her teddy bear on fire. She threw him on the group as it erupted, a huge bear standing twice Annie's size on his hind legs. Annie cheered and hugged his side. "Hi Tibbers!~ Welcome to Las Vegas!~"

There she goes making tibbers again. *chuckles watching from a distance*

 

[MattieLee]

Matt looked at Dandy "Dude, you okay?"

 

[Flowershadow]

Found that he was being ignored by all three people that he was trying to address; Leo, Emiya, and Shiki, including how Dandy and Claire were ignoring his small call for attention as well. He turned to look back at Chrom before shaking his head and taking a swig from his wine bottle, finding it almost out and sighing softly.


@Hunter2258


Nah, not really. It's just people being foolish and not thinking things through whenever I have a little slip up. I mean, hell, a guy can't make a simple mistake that ended up hurting no one and just get a small pat on the back? It's just like how I made a tiny mistake and got sent out into the boondocks back on the force. Freaking stupid in more ways than one could count.





The "humble" detective let out a sigh before extending the nearly empty bottle towards Emiya, then remembering the fact, even in his drunken state, that his attention was stolen away from him by Shiki, him holding the bottle towards Chrom then and offering it to him.





Do you want some? I have a bit left in here and I hate to see good char...shardu...chardonnay go to waste.





He had a bit of trouble pronouncing what way the wine was as he had quite a good amount of experience with the Japanese and English language in learning to be in the police force in the past, yet all other languages were like garbled gum wrappers or Chinese to him. He held out the bottle to him, offering his only known current companion the rest of the alcoholic and gourmet beverage.

 

[Sandra]

Rin would have no flames on him, checking on the red headed girl every second. She then went to the one named rand. "I'm bored sooo... Hi." He would spin his katana round and round, very bored indeed. "What's up? Also what are those red crossed freak things?" He was so clueless...


@TheAlmightyEmperor

 

[LunarDiscord]

Claire, still steaming from behind her reception desk, had to take a moment to look in surprise at the giant, lumbering, bear that was ablaze, yet not causing any damage to the floor, or anyone around it for that matter. She shrugged, deciding that real life was always stranger than fiction, she threw her hands up in the air, the universal "I give up" gesture, crossing her arms on the desk, laying her head down on them.
