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

[QUOTE="Leo Barnes]Leo threw up his hands in a "I surrender" way, before putting them down as he looked at her, the other officer closing the door "Where are you shot? Just be clear"

[/QUOTE]
"Stop staring at my chest and look at my oddly cloth-wrapped arm which is also soaked with blood."


She smiled ever so 'innocently' as she moved her wounded, and yes, cloth-wrapped arm up ever so gently.

 

[Reaper Jack]

He blinked as Emiya introduced himself. So he's not part of the Church, huh? But what's the Mage's Association? Is that... what Sensei is part of? Shiki thought to himself, remembering the young woman he had met eight years ago. Aoko Aozaki. He briefly wondered how she was doing, but remembered there were more pressing matters to attend to.
Adjusting his glasses a little, he nodded. "Ah, right. That sounds like a good idea. I'm Shiki Tohno, if you didn't catch it. Nice to meet you, Mr. Emiya," he said, offering a handshake. He was, at the very least, glad that the man seemed to be a little more gregarious than he seemed at first glance.

Emiya returned the handshake, for formality's sake if nothing else.


"I'll be here if you need anything" *gestures to the area where he is standing*


Emiya then removes the WA2000 from it's holster on his back and sits down with it, fiddling with various knobs and dials on the weapon and both of the attached scopes, ensuring everything is in full working order; he then lights up another cigarette and proceeds to do the same with both the Calico and the Contender.

"Ah, I know that weave well. You just have to use some spirit and apply pressure on the corners, but I suppose you don't know how to do that. Well, I could teach you when we have spare time. Since we can't do much at the moment, why don't we work together and make some barriers to fortify our position? I could move some stones around and you could freeze the some exits." Rand said. He was still unsure as to how to help these people. Of course, there was always the option of merely going back home, but that wasn't right. He wasn't even sure if he could as it managed to take him pretty far from home. Perhaps he should scout the area and look for anybody else that needed help. "Elsa, once I've assisted these people in fortifying our small fortress, I'm going to search for some survivors, would you like to assist me?"

Elsa grew quiet for a moment, lost in thought. Her thoughts focused on her sister and home, the two things that brought her peace during this madness. She didn't reply to Rand right away, barely noticing when he asked her if she would like to assist him. Once he began talking to a few others, however, Elsa awakened from her daze and nodded, following after him. "Let's look for survivors. Maybe we should ask if anyone was separated from a friend or family member before arriving. Then we'll have an idea of certain people to look for." She thought for a moment longer, trying to think on how she could make her powers useful in this situation when she felt a pair of eyes on her...

Scorpion almost cursed out loud. The boy had no further information than he did. His means of arriving here were interesting, though. He was asleep and awoke to find himself in a new land. Scorpion held his tongue and nodded briefly. The boy revealed his name to be Luke. "Scorpion," came the Wraith's short reply. "As you, I am not of this land, and if I were to risk a guess, I would say I am not of this time, as well-" His sentence died in his throat. Words danced into his ear, spoken from not twenty feet away.
"I will do what I can can to help though. Like if anyone had a swollen injury I could give them some ice. Or perhaps I could freeze the ground around the building to make it slippery and hard for the crossed to walk."


His eyes rose quickly and he glanced over Luke's shoulder at a woman. She didn't look much like an assassin, but that was the very point of being one. People wouldn't be able to guess you were an assassin unless you wanted them to. She wore the many shades of blue, and she spoke of ice magic. That spelled one thing in Scorpion's revenge-driven mind.


She was Lin Kuei. His face darkened as he glared in her direction, current situation forgotten. She was his lead. She would give him Sub-Zero. And then he would have his revenge. But not here. Without his Hellfire he wouldn't be much of a match for this entire room. He would get her alone and make her reveal the location of Sub-Zero, or she would die. He returned his dark gaze to Luke. "Surviving this situation is going to require strength, not just in self but as a unit. It is in everyone's best interest to work together." At this he extended a single hand, offering it to Luke.

Elsa felt a shiver run down her spine, and felt as if someone were watching her. She glanced away from Rand for a moment, her eyes meeting those of a man who stood a distance away from her. He said nothing and didn't move toward her, but she felt uncomfortable with the way he had looked at her. She ignored him for now, however. Elsa knew for a fact she had no enemies in this world. She hadn't been in it long enough to have made any. She played with her hair for a moment, figuring she was just being paranoid.

Molly awake in another cold sweat, and stared into the distance of the large building. Bones of ancient animals hanged almost everywhere you could see, and among that, she could hear a crowd of people chatting. 'I am still among the living....' looking to her side, Molly could see clementine was gone, and that in fact she did fall unconscious. 'Dam....what's wrong with me?' moving her hand to her wound, Molly could feel the blood leaking out onto her plain white shirt. 'I've started bleeding again...How much blood have I lost...?' standing, Molly could now finally feel the full pain she was in. Her legs felt of jello, her head pounded with incredibly pain, and her wound burnt like fiery hell. Slowly moving, Molly walked forth towards the group of survivors dragging her brown tennis shoes against the marble floor.
"Elsa. Wayne. Clementine." Molly shouted, hoping to over speak the crowd, and catch the attention of the ones she called for.

Elsa opened her mouth, just about to offer another suggestion to Rand when she heard a voice call out from the crowd. She recognized it. It was the voice of Molly, the injured woman she had met earlier. "Hang on, someone is looking for me," she told Rand, turning to glance behind her. "Molly, I'm here! Where are you?"

 

[dalecoOoOoOper]

"Stop staring at my chest and look at my oddly cloth-wrapped arm which is also soaked with blood."
She smiled ever so 'innocently' as she moved her wounded, and yes, cloth-wrapped arm up ever so gently.

He threw up a sarcastic smile at her, taking her hand as he sat her down on a chair before looking at the arm "I wasn't looking at your chest, I was looking at you." Leo oddly thought that he said the wrong thing, trying to remain serious.

 

[TheAlmightyEmperor]

"You both seem to have a tendency to enjoy violence," he commented, not sure if that is such a thing conducive to survival.
Of course, as he spoke of violence the man talking to him started flinging chairs and fire at the little girl and her bear. As a knee jerk reaction, Isaac pointed the plasma cutter at the man --triple laser pointer centered on the man's chest.


"You seem smart. You should understand that people here are from different places and times --what she is doing is magic by most standards. Cool it before you start a bloodbath in here."

Ran immediately stopped in his tracks and dissipated his flames. He wasn't sure what was being pointed at him, but if he were to take a wild guess, it was most likely a shock-lance. He shivered a bit, remembering what kind of damage they were able to cause. "I apologize, I couldn't help myself. The creature looked too much like a shadow spawn and after having been hunted and nearly killed by them for so long, it's very hard to believe that they're no longer around. And the little girl, she was too similar to one of his servants. Again, I must apologize."

 

[Saturnice01]

I look around, still waiting for someone to even notice I entered the room. "Ah, typical... people ignoring me. Unless I start shooting at them, that get's attention, but, no one ever listens..."

[/QUOTE]
Stumbled forward as her arm was held and taken, she clumsily sat on the chair and looked at Leo. "What are you, Dcotor 'friggin' handsome?"

 

[MattieLee]

Kinzie looked at the officer. For a minute she thought that the guy was serious and she was going to lecture him on how alchohol affected your brain cells and that he obviously had quite a bit but she instead nodded. "Well your right about that atleast many aren't even humans and I'm certainlt far from 'normal' myself... if your really an officer I think you'll help me find out about this right?' she wanted to be able to know what had happened in the simulation, she may not have powers in the real world but she had been through so much with the saints... she had to find the boss even she missed him and she was usually the one scolding his reckless behavior.

 

[RainbowWave]

The room was barely lit, and far smaller on the inside then Molly originally thought. It looked to be a office, though Molly could mistake plenty of things in the amount of light that was being given. 'Is the power out?' Molly stepped inside the room, her bloody hands desperately searching for a light switch. Thats when she heard her name,


"Molly, I'm here! Where are you?" Molly took a step out of the room, and waved her hand into the air, calling to Elsa.


"Elsa! I'm over here!"

Claire's head shot up from the desk, standing up as she holds her hands down on it. The sounds of grass shattering and chairs being thrown forcing her to finally act like a grown up again. " Alright, what the hell is going on now!? " She shouted out, looking about the main room, seeing that this time the giant flaming bear was the target of attention this time. The guy who looked like he walked out of the middle ages festival had claimed it was a.. "Dark Spawn" or something like that, although the bear certainly wasn't normal, it wasn't attacking anyone, and it seemed to just be protecting the little girl, Claire was certain the bear was either peaceful or just under the command of the young girl it was holding, and she wasn't going to let cultural boundaries star shit now. With that she stepped up besides the man in what looked like coppery colored, metallic, armor, looking from him to the chair thrower and back.

@Hunter2258


You're perfectly welcome, Chrom. It's not often that you come across such fine wine.





He relaxed casually back against the marble wall while looking up at the ceiling after taking the now empty wine bottle back from Chrom, taking the bottle and breaking it on the wall, letting the shards stay on the ground as he looked at the jagged and sharp edges of the now broken bottom of the bottle, him offering the neck of it towards Chrom and placing it in his hand.





For when you need to defend yourself. You gotta have something other than your fists with whatever is out there. I'm not some idiot that's gonna let their only kind of companion in this hellhole so far go unarmed.

 

[dalecoOoOoOper]

Stumbled forward as her arm was held and taken, she clumsily sat on the chair and looked at Leo. "What are you, Dcotor 'friggin' handsome?"

"Let me see... I'm a cop, I was thrusted into this museum after a gunfight, one of my officers is shot, and your here being a pissy little ant. And who are you?" He smiled at her sarcastically as he kept looking at her arm.

 

[Jeremiah]

Tibbers slowly pulled his claw over her back, patting it gently, strange for something so large and menacing such as him. He looked up at all the others around the museum, giving off a low growl as he searched through the odd crowd. Annie cuddled under his arm. "Try not to hurt any of these people, they're friendly! We'll have plenty of people to burn later, really!~" Tibbers nodded submissively, sitting himself down with a loud thump.

[QUOTE="Flaming Centurion]
"Okay, Matt. Friends?"
Dandy raises an eyebrow at Matt.

[/QUOTE]Matt looked at the guy, friends? he didn't have any real friends besides maybe the boss despite they tried to kill each other when they met... he just met this guy and he wanted to be friends? what the hell he nodded "Uh, yeah sure..." he wondered where Agent Kensington walked off to... oh well like he cared.

 

[Verite]

[QUOTE="Reaper Jack]Emiya returned the handshake, for formality's sake if nothing else.
"I'll be here if you need anything" *gestures to the area where he is standing*


Emiya then removes the WA2000 from it's holster on his back and sits down with it, fiddling with various knobs and dials on the weapon and both of the attached scopes, ensuring everything is in full working order; he then lights up another cigarette and proceeds to do the same with both the Calico and the Contender.

[/QUOTE]
Nodding, he sighed quietly, sitting down next to Emiya, watching him fiddle about for a moment. Examining the sort of guns he carried around, Shiki had to guess he was some sort of assassin. If he wasn't associated with organizations like the Church or the Mage's Association, then who was he? He couldn't really dream of imagining this man dressed up in priest robes running around with the kinds of Black Keys that Ciel-senpai fought with, so perhaps he was telling the truth in that he wasn't from the former. If nothing else, he was probably a freelance assassin working by himself, but if he knew about Dead Apostles, that probably meant he fought them too, like Arcueid.


Taking a breath, he leaned back a bit, looking at the rest of the room and examining the sort of activity going on there. Things didn't seem to be as bad as when he first found himself in the museum. He felt safer with a man like Emiya watching his back, though he wondered how well his Mystic Eyes would fare against someone with his experience. At least this place was becoming more like a safe haven.


I just hope none of those Crossed try to break in. Or worse, having an anemia attack, though granted, those have been happening a lot less, he thought to himself, mixing up which priority was top priority.





OOC: Well, since that seems to be all there is to do for now, I suppose I'll be off doing a few other things, though I'll be occasionally popping in and checking out what went on.

Yes We do *smiles as he takes care of what the other man just threw at the bear. Pats him like a child then walks over to Annie*

Tibbers slowly pulled his claw over her back, patting it gently, strange for something so large and menacing such as him.

Hey Annie!

 

[Ahzek Ahriman]

Ahzek would slowly sit up, looking around silently his horned helmet casting off a deep red glow from it's nasal and eye slits "Where...In the name of the great ocean am I?" He slowly begins to probe into the lining of the great ocean...feeling oddly almost nothing, making him probe harder and harder until he finds some bits of stable ground within the warp. As he does this he stands slowly, his horns grinding against the ceiling (Anyone above him could easily hear this) He looks around slowly, bending down and picking up his staff and relic bolter, the bolter having been empty for the last five hundred years "Well....I can feel life...But...Not like the kind I know of.."

 

[Bombielonia]

[QUOTE="Leo Barnes]"Let me see... I'm a cop, I was thrusted into this museum after a gunfight, one of my officers is shot, and your here being a pissy little ant. And who are you?" He smiled at her sarcastically as he kept looking at her arm.

Rolled her eyes at him, smirking as she replies: ".. Li-.. Ex lieutenant Debra, Miami homicide." she eyed him up and down as they conversed.


(Be right back, breakfast.)

 

[Sovereign]

Ran immediately stopped in his tracks and dissipated his flames. He wasn't sure what was being pointed at him, but if he were to take a wild guess, it was most likely a shock-lance.

And the little girl, she was too similar to one of his servants. Again, I must apologize."

Isaac lowered the weapon, the targeting lasers flickering and fading.


"I understand your tension, but now is not a time to start throwing things around. Everyone here is clearly more sane than those maniacs outside, and starting a brawl right here will only result in more than a few people dead or maimed," Isaac explained, trying to keep everything calm.


Despite his severe PTSD, Isaac cared for people and resolution --the monster only came out when it was time to draw blood.

@Delayinder @TheAlmightyEmperor
Claire's head shot up from the desk, standing up as she holds her hands down on it. The sounds of grass shattering and chairs being thrown forcing her to finally act like a grown up again. " Alright, what the hell is going on now!? " She shouted out, looking about the main room, seeing that the alien in blue was once again the target of someone's attention, and this time it was negative. The guy who looked like he walked out of the middle ages festival had claimed he was a.. "Dark Spawn" or something like that, although the alien didn't look like anything normal, Claire was certain by now he had no evil intent, and she wasn't going to let cultural boundaries tear everyone apart now. With that she stepped up besides the man in what looked like coppery colored, metallic, armor, looking from him to the chair thrower and back.

He didn't notice the woman that had approached until after he lowered his weapon. He noted her as one of the people who had been part of the earlier standoff with the police officer.


"It's been handled, no more trouble," he said, trying to head off the confrontation before it started.

 

[Jeremiah]

Yes We do *smiles as he takes care of what the other man just threw at the bear. Pats him like a child then walks over to Annie*
Hey Annie!

"Hi Vi! Why was the robot throwing things at poor little me and Tibbers? I also heard him saying mean things about us..." She whimpered and nuzzled into Tibbers' fuzzy, fiery body.

 

[TheAlmightyEmperor]

@Delayinder


Rand looked at the young woman who just screamed and said, "It was a grave error on my part. I had mistaken this large... creature and its master for a shadow spawn. But it seems like it's somehow controlled through the source." Rand turned to the little girl, wondering if maybe she could channel Saidar and said, "You mistress. I deeply apologize for my rudeness. I hope you can forgive me. And I was wondering, how do you control such a beast? It's quite amazing"

 

[MrDubWubs]

"Hi Vi! Why was the robot throwing things at poor little me and Tibbers? I also heard him saying mean things about us..." She whimpered and nuzzled into Tibbers' fuzzy, fiery body.

Oh he didn't mean it little one. The robot man helped us. *smiles and ruffles up your hair*

“I'll... try the best I can, ma'am. What can I help you with?” He smiled, weight pressed against his right leg, arms crossed. Pretty casual.

@RainbowWave @TheAlmightyEmperor


Elsa turned her head from Rand, not catching him use his flames. She was distracted hearing Molly call out to her. She didn't sound exactly right. "I'm coming!" Elsa called back, heading over to the woman. She stopped in front of her, gasping at the blood on her. "What happened to you? Are you all right?" she asked, wandering closer to her.
