The gunshot was somewhat distant, but it awakened Remi from his reverie. He was daydreaming of gliding and playing his oud, two things he often thought about attempting at the same time but never did, for safety's sake. He was on his way to... well... nowhere really. He had been looking for junk in an antique shop to tinker with, but the various wonders of wood and metal had reminded him of the cogs and gears of the airships he had flown on in his travels, and lost in this memory he went outside and walked aimlessly for what was probably the better part of an hour, though he couldn't really tell.
He'd still be wandering aimlessly, had that gunshot not brought him out of his daydream.
At this point Remi assessed that he had two choices. His first option was to continue wandering aimlessly, perhaps sit down and play his oud for a bit, and eventually find a place to stay the night and forget about the gunshot and anything that might be related to it. The other option was to go investigate the gunshot.
Needless to say, his curiousity eventually got the better of him.
He walked down the winding cobbled streets, which were paved with neither gold nor steel, but simple stones, a testament to times past, before factories cloaked the sky in an ashen veil and airships became more common than birds. He remembered his childhood in the country at his simple religious school, and was lost in another coat of distraction as he made his way towards the source of the gunshot.
His steps eventually brought him to a dark alleyway and a broken window.
Remi stopped for a bit to look around. Feeling a little chilly, he buried himself deeper in his overcoat. The tools in his belt clinked a little and the case on his back vibrated with strange music. He held a long staff in his gloved right hand and fingered a small button on the staff. The button, of course, would unfold the staff into a glider, but he was not in the air, so this would be particularly useless.
Remi heard sounds from inside the window. He moved towards it. Perhaps he could get a closer look.

Sally heard a gunshot shortly after she'd separated from her sister. "Oh no, someone could be hurt." She rushed to the sound to see an boy also moving near it. "hello, do you know what's going on?" She asked him.

"Oh hello," Remi said, pulled out of another reverie. He felt himself began to blush so he pulled his scarf around his face; he was, after all, rather cold. "I have to honestly tell you that I have no clue what is happening." He realized he was being muffled by his scarf and pulled it back away from his mouth. All of this was rather awkward and caused him to blush more. "By the way," he said after a few moments of silence, "my name is Remi." He stuck out his hand to gesture for a handshake.

Joesph was assigned a ship and went through with a pair of others to make sure everything was okay to fly. They were only on standby, however if the ship disobeyed they'd give chase. Everything was ship shape and ready to launch. Now they just needed to wait for conformation that they needed to launch.
Alex found one of the higher ranking officers "Excuse me sir...I have a rather interesting proposition for you, that we should discuss now" Alex said with a polite smile.

Derek tried to be equally swift, resulting in him cutting his pants leg on the broken glass. However, he was up and aiming his gun at someone an officer later.
"You heard 'im. Make a hole." He said to the officers standing in front of the ramp to the ship. He tried to make his face as intense and unnerving as possible, to make sure that these men knew he meant business. He was hoping it worked, because he was pretty sure he couldn't hit one of them with a bullet if he tried.

"Sally" she smiled back. "Do you think anyone's hurt in there?" She asked him as she rolled a barrel over. She stood on it and grabbed a windowsill before proceeded to pull herself up. "I hope not, I can't really see anything...THERE'S BLOOD" She cried. She began tring to open the window, when that didn't work she smashed it with her wrench

"Pleasure to meet you, but may I ask, why did you just smash an already smashed window?" Remi inquired, rather confused. He did see that there was some blood on the window, but he assumed that it was someone's carelessness in jumping through. In fact, on a closer observation he saw it was not blood but a patch of cloth from someone's pants. "Use your wrench to clear the shards of glass from that window, so that no one else gets caught up jumping through," Remi said to Sally.
[[My post is based on Rufus's smashing the window to jump through and Derek jumping after him but cutting his pants leg.]]

"I smashed the bottom, I'm not tall enough to get all the way up there. I don't know what to do in these times, maybe I should get Ren, she'd know what to do." Sally murmered as she did the requested action. She almost fell inbut grabbed the sill...then she fell. "OW-are you comeing?" She called as she got up and brushed the glass off her dress.

"Alright," Remi said. He first put his staff through the window, and then he climbed up through the window himself, taking his case off of his back and holding onto it while he ducked through. When he landed below he put his case back onto his back and picked up his staff.
He saw two men ducked behind some crates up ahead, seemingly in a standoff with police, who were between the men and a rather impressive airship. Fearing for his safety, Remi ducked behind some nearby barrels. "Get down," he whispered to Sally. In his haste, he accidentally knocked his staff against a barrel, which resounded with a loud "plunk."

"Says the loud one" She rolled her eyes and grabbed her staff. "Guns are mean and bullets to so please don't hit me, that wont do" She spelled after some thought. Her eyes turned purple. She walked out and saw the blood trail leading to a guy behind a crate. She looked at the ship. Ren's birthday is tomorrow" She whispered and smiled, walking towards it-bullets would deflect off of her and apparently the blood was caused by the guy not cleaning off his pants, it was dripping. ((edited-sorry, mom's yelling while I type))

"Are you crazy?!" Remi whispered emphatically. "Stay down!" He continued to watch the scene from behind the barrels. It seemed very tense and Remi didn't want to get involved, but he deduced that the two men behind the barrels were trying to steal the airship, and he did really need some transportation. He remained behind the barrels and waited for the situation to evolve further. Then he saw the woman walking out into the open between the police and the other men, all of whom had their guns aimed at each other. She must be crazy, he thought to himself. Or perhaps children just don't notice life-threatening danger, he added in his mind.
[[Serrenedy if you noticed only one shot has actually been fired so far and no one has been injured.]]

Rufus began to walk forward towards his ship, everything seemed to be going fine. He holstered back his hand cannons. "'Ank ya kinda gents for lettin' us depart." He began to worm through the crowd of about 15 or so men.
One of the cops stopped, looking at Derek oddly. "Wait, kid, what's your name?"
Rufus paused. Could the kid be wanted for something?
"Rufus....get on the bloody ship already..." Cornelius said, looking out the left observance window. His left hand gripped the throttle toggle.
"He looks like the kid that Parker gent said was missing..." Another added, his gray blue eyes looked to Rufus. "You can go, but we need to take this boy down to the station for an inquiry."
Rufus turned to constable. So god damn close.

Inquiry. Such a lovely word, isn't it? Oh Remi remembered the days of secondary school. Engineering, philosophy, art... he remembered his old Physics textbook: An Inquiry Into How Things Work. He stood up and began to wander around his school in the city. It was late in the spring and he could smell the distinct odor of metal and oil as he finished rigging an engine for his class. His teacher was impressed; he recieved an "A" on the project. Oh what fine days those were.
[[Remi is in a reverie. He is actually wandering aimlessly with all his things around the warehouse with his eyes staring out into space.]]

OoC: for the record, Visba, there have been many gun shots, and there are bodies of dead drow in the warehouse. This did happen a while before you or Serrenedy, joined the RP.
Also I would like to make a general note on timeline; some of us seem to be unaware of.
First off, and preferably in a intro post, you can travel as far back in time as you like when making your post, I could, or even now, make a post about when Zerath was only twenty years old, or about seven hundred and thirty years before the RP even started; this could give me time to do most anything I would like to do, including walking around a city. I could go off to try and explain this better, but this is already cluttering the RP. And yes, still not abandoning the RP, but I’m starting to think I should not have deadlocked myself into waiting two in-character hours when some characters are running around town, locating the spot were they have only herd one gunshot, have a few short though calm discussions and then entered into the building and even then still walk though come of the warehouse all in the space of thirty seconds on the long side. This is when using steel Jaw’s posts as a proximate timeline I will note however.
I'll now cut myself off and stop interrupting the RP, less my next post be delayed yet more.
