Slums of the city (come for the RP, stay for Shaula and Pawn arguing over RTPNSs)

((I dunno ask whoever added it on MSPAF))

*due to the awkward shooting angle caused by both scout and scoff being relatively close together the gun shot shoots through his side but misses most vital organs

he seethes in pain and lets go*

Scoff puts his key back into his inventory which may or may not exist depending on how this universe is dictated.

*scout struggles to stand and trys to hobble towards scoff*

don't even think of trying to get away

(I wouldn't dream of it Scout.>
He grins, knowing that he probably couldn't run even if he tried at this point. He's wasted most of his ammunition in Scout, he has quite a few stab wounds and is being held by the Detective. Most he could do is sling a few fireballs, which may just be as dangerous for him as it would be for Scout and Detective.

((99% sure you mean couldn't run, Sand. And Silck, it's tries.))

Scout, shoulDn't you be Doing something about the bullet wounD?

*Detective turns his attention back to the Scoundrel*

Why Do the horrorterrors want you here?

(( Yes... Couldn't. I always forget the n't.... But. It shall be edited! ))
(Don't remember....>
PS looks down as if trying to remember.
(Oh! That'S it! It'S none of your buSineSS!>

That's a compelling argument, but we have more weapons, you are in no position to attack us, anD neither of us cares very much about whether it's 'our business' or not.

Why Do the horrorterrors want you here?

(Do you really think you can get anSwerS like that? Try being more like Inny and Start being Polite, then you might get Some anSwerS.>
PS smirks.

Speaking of inny

*throws a knife at inny*

*Inny has actually kept running away when he noticed the trouble in which PS is in and is now trying to find AD, to help him free PS*

*scout stumbles down onto his knee, thrown off by that throw*

by gmk thiS hurtS

detective can you take care of Scoff whilSt i deal with thiS?

*Detective nods at Scout*

Oh, well then. You have my sincere apologies. Let me rephrase the question, then.

*whacks Scofflaw over the head*

*presses the cuestick to his throat*

I Don't care what Innovator Does. I'm not going to be nice to you. Tell me. Why DiD the horrorterrors senD you to this worlD?

(FUCKING OW!>
Scoff tries holding his hand to his whacked head.

*in a perfectly calm voice*

So? What's the answer?

*tries to dig out the bullet using a knife and binds his wounds*

(Do you really think that after HITTING ME, that I would tell you ANYTHING? You Should juSt kill me now and get it over with.>
He keeps up his grin.

*flicks a bullet at scoffs face*

how about no

if we kill you you juSt come back

why don't we juSt

keep you here

leave you long enough without food and See how coy you are

*scout is bluffing of course but hiding it fairly well*

PS closes his eyes as the bullets hits his face and rolls off.
(... What if... What if I juSt lit uS all on fire? Yeah... It SoundS good to me. You two would be out of our hair, and Inny can finiSh everything while we are chilling out, drinking whatever beverage thiS univerSeS afterlife holder haS, and once it'S all done? Then we can all go back, and by we, I mean juSt me and the ScoundrelS. How doeS that Sound, Scout?>

thing iS we'll juSt come back within the hour and we have already Shown we can hunt you down

you can't teleport anywhere without there being a Shadow portal or there being another Shadow magic uSer there So there iSnt much you could do there


i imagine we'd find you before you left

(... I wonder where AD iS...>
PS closes his eyes.
(I gueSS I'll try to find out.>

*The Angry Delinquent, who has been randomly vandalizing things somewhere a significant distance away, has just been informed by PI, who has just found AD randomly vandalizing things somewhere a significant distance away, about what's going down.*

~whAt the fuck DiD scofflAw get himself into this time?!~

*He readies his hairpin.*

~forget it! we've gottA go tAke those DickwADs out! besiDes, i've been in neeD of some gooD tArget prActice ever since we showeD up in this goDAwful city!~

*He runs off in the direction indicated by PI, leaving the Innovator in the dust.*

*Detective thinks about this for a second, then lets Scofflaw go*

((Meta, Swap!AD is known as the Angry Delinquent. Also, you seem to have taken control of Inny a bit there.))

detective what are you doing?

we need to queStion him!

*tries to get up but fails gripping his side*

--------

*die gets up and moves towards the door*

i'm going out to get some bourbon........ i need something to 6rink

It's clear that he has no more information to give us. I'm not surprised noboDy's shareD the Details of the horrorterrors' plan with him.
