Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( biggrin Yup! Thanx! But you didn't have to be hit by a car. sad ))

Sazuko: ~Back Alley, Parson's Street, East District~

Sazuko eyes widened as she saw a car hitting another girl, whom she assumed was this 'Korin'. Soon her fear became anger. Then her anger became rage.

She watched as 'Korin' get up as if she wasn't hit by the car. She doesn't even look like she's bleeding, she thought, now suddenly amused by the thought of blood. She turned back around to Deirdre.

"SEE! THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR DOING WHAT YOU GUYS DO! TRYING TO HELP EACH OTHER! THEN THEY TELL EVERYONE WHO YOU ARE! YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYONE! ANYONE!!!!!!!" She practically spat in the poor girl's face.

Soon Sazuko turned around and ran. She ran so fast, faster than she thoguht she could do her whole lifetime, being as such an unathletic person as she was. She got into her apartment, quickly unlocked the door, and flopped down on her bed. ANd then she began to cry.

"All of my hard work to become invisible. All......gone..." she muttered as she fell into a deep slumber...


((Sorry for such the short post. whee ))

Deirdre: ~Back Alley, Parson's Street, East District~

"Sazuko, wait!"

But, of course, after that outburst Sazuko certainly wasn't in the mood to wait. And although it was a shame, the bigger problem was accordingly that her partner had just been run over by a car.

Despite the fact that Hiram was unquestionably dangerous at that given moment, she lurched across the remaining alleyway. She tapped her ear and said under her breath, "Mizumi, one of your distractions would be a good idea right about now." Deirdre didn't want to say the words, but persisted: "Korin's been rammed by Hiram's car, and while I think she's okay..."

By that point, she'd reached the car. Time to have a heck of a lot of bark when she probably didn't have any bark left in her.

"Hiram, do you really want me to give this car another dent by sending it into oncoming traffic? Or do you really want people to wonder why a supposedly respectable policeman just attacked two women in broad daylight?" Her eyes darted momentarily towards the blonde girl, standing up and enraged. "Korin, are you...okay...don't do anything hasty..." Deirdre could still remember the last time she'd done something hasty, though Deirdre had to admit that she felt Korin was perfectly justified.

Hiram: ~Outside Alley, Parson's Street, East District~

He hadn't meant to directly hit the girl, but it had been hard to control the car when all he'd done was lean across his seat and give on mighty push on the steering wheel in the direction he so desired. Checking for his gun in his pocket, he got out of the car much quicker than Samuel and observed the girl, ignoring the loud beeps from justifiably angered other cars. Seconds later his partner left, chasing after the girl they'd been tailing.

Another man stood nearby (Duncan), watching the whole affair. Hiram found that suspicious, and even when an enraged Deirdre began to yell, he felt himself staring. Quickly, he slipped back into the current matter.

That girl Korin was looking dangerous. Under his breath, he growled: "Try anything, girl, and the whole of the AGSA will be tracking you."

Korin ~Parson's Ave. Back District~

She couldn't believe it. The assasin celestial had just took off. I KNEW THIS WAS STUPID! she was screaming in her head.
She was so furious, she couldn't think straight.
She saw Deirdre yell something at her. She wasn't sure what it was.
She saw the b*****d that hit her get out of the car, his hand in his pocket, obviously preparing a gun. She heard his words--"Try anything, girl, and the whole of the AGSA will be tracking you." and her fury amplified.
"You son of a-" she started.
And then, a fire hyrdant exploded. She saw a man she had barely noticed before get knocked on his face. Deirdre and the b*****d turned to look at the strange spectacle. She became confused for a minute.
How can something that menial happen in an advanced place like this!? The water splashed up against her feet and she searched it. Mizumi! She detected her aura immediately. She smiled and quickly realised her anger had lessened.
She slowly began walking towards the man, the one Deirdre had called "Hiram." She stood five feet in front of him. She looked quickly over at Deirdre, who was luckily standing behind her. Korin stretched out her hand and smiled. "Drive home safe..." she said calmly. A brilliant light eminated from her hand and enveloped him.
She grabbed Deirdre and started to run.
"That'll...keep them sightless... for about... a day... but he still has a gun..." she gasped, already exhausted from the use of her power.

((Oh, yeah ninja No problem cool I just needed to do something so we could wrap it up, seeing as Saz already left. So it could be a thing like before he closed his eyes, or OOOOOH! they have camera on their car! And it got footage of him! Or something >.> Just do what ya want!))

Korin ~Algernon Boulevard, East District~

They were two blocks away when Korin realised that she had left her powerboard. "Oh crap!" she said, stopping. That thing was expensive! Even though it was bought by the HQ, it was still alot of money.
She felt Deirdre still pulling on her hand, dragging her small frame along. She reached into her pocket with her free hand and grabbed the key to the board and pushed a small blue button. "It'll catch up." she said, starting to run again with a now-frustrated Deirdre.
She heard the small vehicle coming towards her and she stopped once again and halted it with her foot. She jumped on and motioned to Deirdre to follow her. "Here, " she said, "It's alot better than running!"

((My most sincere apologies for being absent this long without warning! I meant to post a little message stating I wouldn't be here this weekend, but time ran out. And then I got snowed in, and couldn't come down to a haven with Internet access for another day. sweatdrop Well, it was some nice lazy excitement, that's for sure, watching the snow fall down and watching Comedy Central for 6 straight hours. whee

Should I Rp the bum, or anyone else willing?))

Hiram: ~Parson's Street, East District~

Hiram knew he ought to have chased after the girls - who knew when he would get a chance like this again - but there was a sudden pain in his forehead and eyes that stopped him. The pain receded momentarily, and he straightened, but by this time, Deirdre and Korin had already bypassed Samuel and were out of sight. It was a defeat, but not one he wasn't used to facing. Merely another battle, he consoled himself, that holds little bearing on the actual war.

Besides, something else had caught his interest. Ignoring the loud honks and curses from nearby cars (understandably not happy by Hiram's stunt of reckloose 'driving') Hiram sidled up to the unconscious man on the sidewalk. The firehydrant water was finally dissipating somewhat, leaving behind this diamond in the rough.

Hiram's instincts were never wong. His eyes widened as he sighted the familiar FM signia subtly emblazoned on the lower corner of the man's jacket ((apologies ahead of time for the character control (deciding an attribute of another character's outfit) - and erm, more character control by arresting your character (if you don't like it, you can say so xd - posts can be edited))).

Hiram raised his head, but Samuel was out of sight. And he was getting too old for this. Gasping a little, he dragged the man into the black car, and after a moment of pause for some rest, handcuffed him. Now all he had to do was decide if it was worth it to wait for Samuel, or start up the car - still amazingly capable of running - and flesh out Samuel's location on the streets via his handy transport. But truthfully, a nap appeared to be in his best interest. The pain in his eyes was resurfacing.

Deirdre: ~Algernon Boulevard, East District - Isis HQ, North District~

"Right!" declared Deirdre, now not quite as peeved, seeing as they'd attained a vast degree of distance and it appeared nobody was following them. Her bed was looking more and more inviting with every passing moment.

8 minutes later...

Using the craft really was the smartest decision, for a trip that would have previously been almost a full half an hour was sufficiently cut down. Happily, she found herself walking the familiar halls of the only place she'd ever truthfully been able to call her home.

"Morning, Helen." greeted Deirdre with a wave. "Mizumi pop in recently?"

"Not since she was in earlier looking for you." murmured Helen, sipping her coffee.

When embroidered in paperwork like she was now (usually dealing with profiles for new members) Helen was not easily provoked out of her business-like stupor. So Deirdre just sighed and turned towards Korin.

"Mizumi's a goddess, but I don't think she could have pulled off that hydrant stunt without feeling it. I'm thinking we should definitely check in on her. Anyway, we have to discuss where to go with the Sazuko case."

((Sorry for the absense! And I don't mind Duncan being arrested. It all adds to the story, and gives him a chance to show off his acting skills. smile ))

Mizumi: ~Isis HQ, her office~

Mizumi slowly opened her eyes. She blinked a few times until the fuzzyness receded.

"I think I misjudged the distance on that one..." she said blearily. She realized that she was lying on the floor behind her desk. Checking for injuries, she found that she had been lucky and not hit her head on any sharp corners.

She eased herself into a sitting position, but decided to wait a bit on the whole getting up thing. Her recovery times were usually incredibly fast, so she knew that if she waited a couple minutes, she'd feel much better. And food would be nice, too.

Duncan: ~Back seat of Hiram's car~

His head was pounding. He didn't even try to open his eyes, knowing that any amount of light at this point would have him screaming in pain.

Slowly the blackness in his mind receded, and he began to question what had happened. He remembered feeling wet, then pain. He was still wet, and in pain, but he felt like he was laying on something much more comfortable than concrete.

He tried to use his hands to check his face for damage, and realized that he couldn't move them. Both arms were tied behind his back. No, not tied, handcuffed. Sudden panic set in. He held most of it back, but his control was slipping. He forced his eyes open, clenching his teeth and hissing softly, trying not to make too much noise. If his captor didn't already know he was awake, then it would be best not to notify them.

When he could see somewhat clearly, he recognized his surroundings. He was in the back of a police car.

Duncan closed his eyes, annoyed at his own foolishness. He wasn't naive enough to hope that some random police officer had picked him up for questioning. He knew that those damn agents had probably seen the FM sign on his coat, and now he was 'captured'.

He tried to kick his legs hard enough to break open the door, but the slight movement caused his entire body to cramp up.

He was going to kill whomever was responsible for that water.

(school gonk But I haven't forgotten this!)



Sammuel grew more determined. "A blonde girl, she may live close by. Do you always hang out here? If you saw her go by, and you help me, I could get you a meal. Maybe I could even get you a job interview, depending on where you're willing to work."
