Action, Locked to 5721 Cunningham Lane

[ubermensching]

[Early today, Wilhelm is going to be going through the rooms of the house, looking for the occupants. His message to each one is the same.]

I believe there is a matter we need to talk about.

[Theta freezes. There's no way it's one of their number, or anyone they've invited over, either. There would have been a call, would have been a -something-.]

No. We weren't. ...This is it.

[She's glad that she blacked in the windows and sealed them with tape and trash bags now; the house isn't very well ventilated any more, but that will work in their favour with the hazmats' poisonous gas.

Since Allen's supply run in which she'd asked him to buy plywood and guns, the windows are all boarded up from the inside as well, and there are guns to be had in the front room. She stands and goes to get one, then retreats to a seat--she can't use both hands to fire and stand at the same time. This will make her a sitting duck if the hazmats get inside, but if they get inside, it's already lost.]

*Albedo glances at the door, then at Wilhelm. The half snarl on his face makes it clear he wants to argue, but he knows why Wilhelm's staying behind. They need time to gather everyone. So he stands, attempting to hold the door closed with his telekinesis while he's still in the room.* The basement, hurry!

*Then he turns to chaos.* Yeshua, go find Rubedo. Make sure he doesn't do anything stupid before I come to get you two.

[Shion looks at the others, then over to Allen.]

Wilhelm, will you be alright on your own though? You don't have all your powers back.

[The hazmats appear to be held back at first, but the knocks on the door grow louder.

Finally, there's the sound of an ax cracking the door. The door falls, and a large quantity of hazmats stream inside.]

[Following behind them is a very familiar man.

Suddenly, none of them will find any regained powers working very well at all.]

[Wilhelm will just stare at Grady for a moment.]

Well. Good evening officer.

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

[chaos looks over as the Hazmat and Grady come in. He actually steps forward a bit.]

Oh, so the big guy is going to show himself?

[want-a-vacation.livejournal.com]

*When the Hazmats burst in, Allen draws his gun and backs up.* Shion, let's go. I'm sure Wilhelm knows what he's doing. I hope.

[At Wilhelm's insistence that they leave, combined with Albedo's order to the basement, Theta stands and is heading for the basement immediately. She turns when she hears the axe on the door. This isn't going to work. She leans against the wall so she has both hands free and abandons her cane--she expects to die here. She raises the gun, aims at Grady, and fires. Even without this being shooting at Grady, her aim isn't the greatest. This is the first time she's used a modern styled gun, and she'd never put much practice into guns back home, either.]

((OOC: Guys, this isn't working. Can we please establish a thread order and reply to one another in order? chaos --> Wilhelm --> Theta --> Albedo --> Shion --> Nepeta --> Allen --> mod/mod (I will sometimes double post Grady and hazmats) would be okay with me.

Also, I think Allen, Shion, and Nepeta are not signed up for the event? If you want to be involved in this you'll need to sign up; otherwise, Grady will just let you leave, but you can't be involved in plot aspects.))

[The hazmats begins to storm into the house, tearing through everywhere they can find and spreading out. They're clearly looking for something, and they ignore all the people in the house in order to find it.]

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

[Theta's bullet never hits. It stops in midair and falls to the ground.

Suddenly, Theta is on the ground, the bones in her legs and every single one of her fingers shattered.]

Bad idea.

Sorry. Post Order starts now I guess

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Where would Allen, Nepeta and Shion need to go to sign up?]

[chaos frowns deeply. He's sure he knows why they're here. He moves quickly, avoiding the Hazmat if he can, and snags the gun from Theta, before moving towards the basement.]

Wilhelm, everyone, back me up here!

sounds good to me, again slow since I'm at school.

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

[There's too much happening. Too much happening too quickly, and he no longer has any of the powers usually granted to him to make sense of situations like this. Theta fires, then she's on the ground, and then...]

Back down, Yeshua.

[And he'll turn to Grady.]

Whatever you intend to do here, I just want to make it clear that I'm responsible for what has been occurring here. If you wish to punish someone, aim your punishment at me.

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

[Theta falls to the ground with a sharp cry of pain, but she quickly bites her lip. The look she gives Grady is hateful, but she doesn't do anything further.]

I'm useless...one of you shoot me before you leave...

[She hates having to admit that, but what else is she going to do with her hands and legs broken? It takes a lot out of her just to manage to say that much without bursting into tears.]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

*As soon as his powers are cut, Albedo falls back to the couch. But the look of anger on his face at being rendered powerless is nothing compared to the sheer rage on his face when Theta falls. And now Wilhelm's taking the blame. Accepting punishment. He knows the Hazmats won't find Sergei until they think to check the basement, but he doesn't know where Rubedo is and is sure he'll resist. And with Theta asking them to kill her before they leave, it's almost too much for his fragile hold on sanity and he draws a knife out of his pocket despite knowing he can't move.* Partner...I hope you know what you're doing.

[miltianbunny.livejournal.com]

[Shion looks back and forth between everyone gathered there, and she can tell, even without powers of her own, that their powers have been rendered useless. She doesn't move for now, except to see about drawing Nepeta closer to herself, and glaring at Grady.]

Coward...

[She mutters this to herself]

[playspurrtend.livejournal.com]

[And of course, Nepeta stays close to Shion, just watching - still super on edge and ready to fight if she has to. She doesn't say anything though, because there's nothing for her to say. And she's doing what Shion told her to do.]

[want-a-vacation.livejournal.com]

*Allen moves to stand so that Nepeta is between him and Shion. His hands are trembling in a mixture of rage and fear, but he keeps his gun raised and ready to fire if the Hazmats turn aggressive.* No kidding...

*He doesn't voice what comes to mind as he mutters in response to Shion, though, and instead looks at Theta as he raises his voice back to normal.* We're not leaving you behind.

((They can sign up here (http://community.livejournal.com/mayfield_rpg/895256.html#comments)! Just have them reply to that post individually at the end; it gives us permission to godmod and injure and stuff. If you don't want to be injured, that's cool! Grady will let you go.))

Tell the little brat to keep her mouth shut. Never cared much for kids.

Now, what you don't understand is, I ain't here to punish no one. Not yet. What's going to happen is, you're going to tell me where the Russian is, and you're going to give me the name of every person involved in hiding him. And you're going to do it before they finish searching the house, or things will go very, very badly.

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

[A small group of the hazmats is making its way towards the basement door.]

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

[chaos looks at Wilhelm, but stops for the moment. He eyes Hazmat warily, before looking back to Grady.]

I'm fairly sure I speak for everyone here, but why would we do that? Especially to a coward who will not face people without stripping their powers away, and trying to overpower them.

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[A pause.]

But I won't allow solely my decision or yours to decide this, Yeshua. Each person here, speak in turn as to whether or not we surrender what we know. Yeshua and I's vote is quite obvious.

But if even one of you submits? I will submit what I know.

[playspurrtend.livejournal.com]

[Nepeta's mostly confused-- she hasn't been in Mayfield long, but she can sense the danger. And unfortunately, she doesn't have anything to fight with and she knows it. She's on edge, and ready to fight even if she can't fight the way she wants to. She'll be sticking by you too, Shion.]

[miltianbunny.livejournal.com]

[Shion gently draws Nepeta near her]

Stay close, follow orders, no questions.

[playspurrtend.livejournal.com]

Okay, I will!

[She nods. She doesn't particularly want to move away from one of the few people she knows in this situation, anyway. If it had been any other situation, she might've complained a little, buuut danger! Not a good idea.]
