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

OOC: Whoa, 40 pages while I was gone. Can someone give me a summary of what happened and stuff?

 

[The Golden Witch]

Adachi found himself wandering the museum a little in his own boredom and what he could possibly consider his "free time." He kept revolver out in his hand, making sure to have it out with him during most times now that his mind was cleared up enough to realize he needed to display that he had at least one kind of weaponry available to him in a moment's notice, otherwise one could more easily plot against him if they wished to.
@Reaper Jack @The Golden Witch


Well, if it isn't the guy who came out during the little hissy fit earlier. And...I don't believe I've seen you here before, kid.





The blunt detective addressed Lambdadelta with what seemed to be complete and utter disregard for who she was, only referring to her as "kid." However, for Emiya, it at least seemed like he remember who he was; one of the few people who was trying to discourage idiotic escalation during the standoff that occurred beforehand. Casually, he brushed his suit lightly with his free right hand, him brushing his suit lightly as it seemed he still had a bit of Crossed gunk on him from the incident in the aquarium area of the museum.

She had a rather huge laugh to herself, turning around to face the man, or rather "detective", who was addressing Lambda as a -kid-.


"My, My~ If it isn't Mr. Inaba Detective. First troubling a bunch of highschool kids and now causing problems in this universe. This is getting better and better."

Her mischivious grin grew wider, as she stared right into the, somewhat, drunken expressionless eyes of the detective.


"Yet, all you have here is but your meager handcannon, without that helpful "spirit" of yours."


Crossing her arms, Lambda would tap her foot against her own shadow, as if to taunt him, talking as well, as if she'd know all about "that" incident.

((Not much. We've disposed of two crossed corpseds, found living infected, shot them, Cressy praised the sun))

I'm a little surprised you know about that, but I got a "get out of jail free card" so to say. And besides...even for someone like you, there are still surprises to be had with a man like me. Something feels..."different" here having to do with "that." So...don't count anything out yet, little girl.

 

[Reaper Jack]

Emiya's words had obviously had no effect on the man, well if he wanted to die that was his funeral as they said; taking people lightly and at surface value meant he probably wouldn't last, his previous actions pointed to the same conclusion as well. Emiya addressed him again for a moment.


"Very well, have it your way."

 

[The Golden Witch]

She looks like a kid, so I call her a kid.



Adachi rather curtly responded to Emiya's little bit of advice towards him as he brushed the rest of the


cartilage and blood off of himself, wiping himself off. He didn't exactly care how covered in blood and such he was, he was just trying to get a bit of it off.


A few of those Crossed guys ambushed us and the "knight in shining armor" blew one up, resulting in "this" all over everyone.

She let out another laugh, before returning to a normal expression, which then again turned into a sly grin, as she extended her hand towards the detective, as if wanting to shake his hand, taunting him, should he catch on.


"It all started with this, am I wrong~? Oh I've watched -that- as well as I am watching this place. Losing to a bunch of kids, just to now being in a survival situation. How long will you far, I wonder~?"

"Eh? What's going on here?" Shiki asked as he appeared, walking into the scene and rubbing his temple, "I woke up to some laughing and now I see two new faces... One of which already makes me nervous," he said, muttering the last part a little softly, but there shouldn't be any problems as long as they were all on the same side. Evidently, it was interesting to note that even in a stressful situation like this, he was still a heavy sleeper as always. He recounted his maid Hisui not being to wake him up oftentimes, and noticed that he had missed his home, but that was then, and this is now, and he wouldn't get anywhere wishing things to happen.

I'm not an idiot, and it's because you're here that I, frankly, am addressing her as I please. If it were only me and her right now in the immediate vicinity...it would be different, considering the info that she knows. I'll admit, I am impressed.


His eyes glanced back over at Lambda, his attention going back towards her as he was intrigued as to how she could know so much about his past that he thought he had left back in Japan for this trip.

"It's nothing to worry about Shiki, just establishing some facts."


Emiya gestured to Lambda; "this is Lambdelta, or Lambda for short, we've been talking while you were asleep."


He then gestures to Lambda; "this is Shiki Tohno, I met him sometime earlier."

 

[Hunter2258]

After seeing he could be no help with the incident in the aquarium like area, he walks around before running into Adachi, Emiya, and Lambda.


"Ah, Adachi. It looks that you have found some new friends." @Flowershadow


He smiles warmly to the other two that he didn't know, offering his hand to @Reaper Jack.


"I am Chrom of Ylisse, leader of the Shephards. Who might you be?"


He then directs his gave to @The Golden Witch, performing a rather courtly bow, his right arm across his stomach as he bows.


"Same to you, Ma'dam. My name is Chrom."


He stands back straight, resting his left hand on the hilt of his sword and his right thumb hooks into his belt.

Emiya exteds his hand in return; proffering a firm grip.


"Kiritsugu Emiya."

[/QUOTE]
Nodding, he then looked at Lambdelta, he nodded, offering a handshake. "Err, hi. It's nice to meet you. You can just call me Shiki if you'd like."

 

[The Golden Witch]

The cocky, off tune detective looked at Lambda and saw just how it was she was taunting him, bringing up more of his past to him as though she had seen it all happen. At first, he thought it foolish and idiotic to think she had seen all that happened before. However, after all that had happened and just what kind of people he'd run across in this one day alone so far, he didn't discard any thought or suspicion as idiotic by this point; probably a wise decision.
Yes, "it" did start with just that, a simple handshake. And frankly, it was the most fruitful handshake I'd ever had with a person. And to supply your own opinion, I think with what I have up my sleeve here that I thought I could only use "there," I do believe I'm quite well-equipped.





His gaze then fixed on Emiya, his attention directed at him then as he heard and saw how Emiya reacted to him addressed the blond-haired girl as he pleased, simply shaking his head.

His eyes glanced back over at Lambda, his attention going back towards her as he was intrigued as to how she could know so much about his past that he thought he had left back in Japan for this trip.

"I am quite flattered that you'd treat me with special attention, should we have been alone right now."


The sarcasm literally flowed from her, as she didn't take a single sentence from him seriously, but not discarding it as a bluff, but simply to tease him even more. Lambda narrowed her eyes, yet kept her sly smirk on her face.


"Although, I have to say I am quite disappointed not being able to meet -him- here. It would have been quite interesting to meet the Ladies Man of Inaba~ Far more than a washed out relict of the past, wouldn't you agree?"

Lambdadelta giggled, looking at the knight introducing himself to her with a curtious bow.


"Don't worry, Chrom. You'll get your chance, another day."

[/QUOTE]
He noticed Chrom entering into the small group that he had found himself with, giving a nod towards Shiki in order to signal to him that he realized he was there, but that he was in the middle of a rather...critical conversation with this girl. His eyes narrowed with anger showing now in his gaze, him simply glaring at her as his grip on the revolver he was holding before he looked away and let out a sigh, ruffling his own hair on the side of his head with the barrel of his firearm slightly.


Tch, please. You mean "him?" That dumbass doesn't even deserve the attention he got. All his talk about "friendship," "bonds" and whatnot always made me drive that point home further in my mind. He's a dumbass, simple as that.

 

[Reaper Jack]

Noticing that the detective was wantonly waving his revolver around, Emiya tensed slightly, reaching one hand into his trench coat and leaving it there, gripping the Calico just in case.

 

[Verite]

@Flowershadow


He froze as he saw the gun being waved around, blinking a bit. "Ahh, we don't need any of that stuff here. At least, not yet," Shiki chuckled nervously, "Just wait 'til the Crossed shows up. Let's all just calm down here and be friends."

 

[Hunter2258]

Glances between Adachi and Emiya, noticing the small tension Emiya had directed towards the detective. He turns to Adachi.


"You don't think you can put that thing away for a bit? We 'should' all be friends here. We're comrades all stuck in the same situation it seems and we need to pull together if we have any hope of fending off the Crossed."

His eyes narrowed as his gaze fixed to Shiki and Emiya, letting out a small sigh and lowering his gun back down to his side.


@Reaper Jack @Verite @Hunter2258


I was just scratching my head. Calm down. Really...





He let out another sigh before shaking his head slightly before his attention fixed back on Lambdadelta, wondering why she would prefer seeing..."him" here instead of him. Although, he could get the general gist of how she was taunting him, letting him connect the dots rather easily in his mind and quickly make a mental note of her teasing and taunting attitude more so in a mental notepad of sorts.

[/QUOTE]
Raising a hand towards Emiya, she looked at him shortly, as if to signal him to relax, giggling a bit.


"He has no guts to shoot someone, not even a "dumbass", that was almost defeated."


Looking at Chrom and Shiki, she shifted her gaze back at the detective, cackling to herself.


"Surrounding yourself with others is the best you can do right now, it worked for him, so you might last longer too~! Because I doubt that the -Crossed-, as you people call them, won't be so nice when they get to you, as -he- did~"


Lambda finished her last sentence rather eerily, lowering her head a bit, as she stared at Adachi from the corner of her upper eyelids, her sly grin turned into a more sinister one.

 

[Reaper Jack]

Emiya removed his hand from his coat, but remained alert, not relaxing his state or poise. He didn't like this.

 

[Croissant]

(What happen with the aquarium hoes?)

 

[Hunter2258]

"Hmph. If you say so."


He lets out a small sigh and turns to Shika and Emiya, offering his hand to Shika.


"I don't believe I know you either. You can call me Chrom. What is your name?" @Verite

He decided to respond to the girl's provocation towards him, although he didn't let any emotion show in his reaction, having easily figured out what kind of game this girl was playing with him. He knew that with the information she had and the people she was starting to surround herself with, she could be a threat in one way or another just as easily as he himself could to others. However, he did realize that deep down, her words were hitting him and slightly injuring his pride.


Really? Is that how that appeared to you? Well, different strokes for different blokes, as they say. Besides, I'll easily tear apart those stupid Crossed and blow out their brains, as they aren't any fun to toy with. All they are is rape, rape, swearing, and more rape.

 

[Verite]

@Hunter2258


"I'm Shiki. Shiki Tohno. It's nice to meet you, Chrom," he nodded, shaking the man's hand.

 

[Hunter2258]

He smiled as he brought his hand back to his waist after shaking.


"It's always a pleasure to meet new friends, may we have to fight together against the Crossed."





Glances at Adachi, unsure of what to think about his conversation with Lambda. He decides it would be best not to intrude as he had no place in their conversation.


"So, Shiki, what sort of weapon do you use? You don't seem to be the type to use a bow or tomes." @Verite


He tried to create conversation, knowing that the bonds he starts now could be of great help later on.
