Priscilla's yee olde shoppe

[Gail Strafer]

Gail hurried inside, rapidly brushing past Ji and Anu. He barely seemed to acknowledge they were there, with how eager he was to rejoin the fight.

Now that he was back in the store, he stopped to see what damage had been done while he was gone. Tech had fired a taser straight into his mouth...and it was doing absolutely nothing.

What the #### can hurt this guy?!

Looked like the knight was missing a piece of his armor now in the shoulder, exposing some very eerie coal-black fur. Then he saw the knight emitting some strange mist from his hands. Gail didn't know what to think, but he instinctively raised his arms up to block...and...

What is this? I feel...wonderful. Like I could punch a hole in the moon.

Lowering his arms, the wolf examined them. How curious. His fingers seemed to flex open and closed a lot faster, plus Gail swore he could feel his heartbeat increase rapidly. Why would the demon use an attack that seemed to make him feel better?

Shaking his head, Gail decided to use his new power against this foe. Besides, it looked like he was targeting Tech again and she would need the help.

The wolf briefly looked around, and saw a gigantic restaurant-sized bag of flour at his feet. Grinning, Gail picked it up off the ground and flung it directly at Relic. If he tried to block it or if it hit him, the bag would explode into a big powdery cloud that he probably wouldn't be able to see through for a moment. Gail hoped that would be enough of a distraction to get in and really wallop the knight.

[Giichi Twinkieland]

Giichi rather enjoyed seeing Priscilla looked panicked, as she shot awake from her nightmare. He allowed himself a small smirk when she briefly looked away, but returned to a more caring kind of smile and voice when he spoke.

"That monster threw you at Gail, and he brought you out here. I'm looking after you now. They're still inside your shop fighting that demon guy. Don't worry about it...everything's going to be fine."

Giichi spared a quick glance at the shop, but from his position outside he couldn't see a lot. Although he could sure hear the commotion... In any case, he returned his gaze to Priscilla quickly. No way he intended to let this snake out of his sight. Not until she'd been turned over to the police and questioned.

"Can I ask about that big demon guy in there? Who is he? Where did he come from? How did you end up working for him?"

In the meantime, the cat allowed his ears to rotate around a little bit like miniature radar dishes. However, he couldn't pick up the sounds of any sirens yet.

Stupid...the one time I want to hear that sound and it's nowhere around.

[Tech Rathgen]

I was too afraid by this point to do anything, except run. I ran with all my might to get outside of this tent and nearing my triumphant escape from whatever dust he was blowing throughout the entire room. I didn't know what it was, but I didn't care. I wasn't going to feel any such nuance of a drug high. Just as I could feel the dust coming near my tail, I leaped out of the tent and rushed to a section without a door. I never ran so fast in my life, but speed is a huge factor with fear.

I smile and breathe slowly to catch my breath. "I made it."

[Jijeka-Te]

Neither Ji nor Anu were sure what that mist had been, but they did feel its effects. Anu found himself able to shrug off the blow from earlier as if it was nothing, and Ji felt like she could take on an entire army.

Ji took a running start, leapt into the air, and glided. Thanks to her new strength boost, she acquired tremendous air, but still managed to miss the ceiling. She circled clockwise around Relic from a distance a few times, then suddenly moved in from his right and swung her royal crook at Relic's neck in an uppercut, hoping she could dislodge his armor's helmet before he could react.

Anu remained where he was, very skeptical at this event. Why had their foe of all people granted this boon? Was this some sort of gambit? He elected to stay put for the time being.

[Magnus]

The mist hit Magnus just before his fist met with the center pillar, his now bolstered strength allowed him to easily punch right through. His gauntlet was now charged up to 50% again, and Magnus didn't stop to question his new strength, he started running for the wall closest to where Drake seemed to be keeping himself. With the center beam gone, Magnus needed only to destroy one wall to bring the roof caving in on that side, and at a run with his speed and strength enhanced, Magnus intended to tear down the wall even if Drake moved in front of him.

[Relic Drake]

Relic turned counter-clock-wise, to reach backwards with his left gauntlet. Digging into the ground where Tech once stood. He turned with Ji simultaneousnessly, uprooting the hidden safe as the reptile unhinged his helm. With a mighty heave he launched the safe upwards and away. Sending it rocketing out of the roof. The bag of flour hit his now exposed face, covering his entire upper body in white.
Relic stumbled backwards, the pastry ingredient immediately began turning pink and caking around his right gouged eye. He began trying to follow Jijeka-Te with his right arm, though he had little hope of actually tagging the small reptile.

Priscilla regained her composer, crossing her arms over her chest. "I won't stop you from questioning about him. He's a monster." she paused at the third question. "I don't know what dark depths he crawled from." she stared at him sternly on his last question. "You refuse to apprentice under him."
The white wolf shifted in place. "You know the ways of the sneak-thief well, cat, well enough to be one. I think we shouldn't be here when he emerges." Priscilla was hoping she could get away from commotion before the local guard showed up. "The town guard will have questions, questions I do not want to answer."

[Gail Strafer]

Uh...? Did he just throw....a safe...through the ceiling and into the sky? Is that what he was after all along?

In any case, it looked like his flour attack worked wonderfully. He'd successfully blinded the knight for a short time. If he was going to get in a good attack, now would be the time.

Gail put on a giant grin as he rushed towards Relic. As he got in closer, he swiped the cash register off the nearby counter, and held it high overhead. It felt like it weighed about as much as a pillow. In any case, he followed that up by leaping into the air and bringing it down hard on the back of the blinded knight's head.

[Giichi Twinkieland]

Giichi wanted to let out a mighty sigh when the woman said he was a monster who'd crawled out of the dark depths.

Yeah...that tells me a lot.

Still, he maintained his composure and kept a neutral expression. However, when she said "you refuse to apprentice under him," that really got him confused. He had no idea what she meant by that. Come to think of it her language did had a bit of Olde World flavor to it, which also puzzled him.

Wait...ye olde English, knight, and acting confused about modern day things. Maybe they came from the same time period.

Anyway, she obviously wanted to get away from the police (that's what Giichi guessed she meant by 'town guard'), which he found incredibly suspicious. That sounded like the words of someone who had something to hide from the law.

However, she did do a good job bringing attention to the elephant in the room here. Giichi too was a thief, and he had every reason to get out of here. The cat needed to come up with a way to flee the cops, while making sure this woman ended up with them. Perhaps until he came up with something, he'd keep talking. The longer he did that the longer she'd be compelled to stay.

"Miss...if you're his victim, then you have every reason in the world to talk to the police about it. I think you should stay and wait for them to show up. And if that monster does come out here, it won't be hard for me to get us out of here. Don't worry about it."

He gave her a gentle pat on the shoulder and a small smile.

"Now, could we try again with one of my questions? How did you end up working for him? I didn't understand what you meant by your first reply."

SMASH!

Giichi whirled around, and looked at the shop. The roof had just exploded. No...wait...something had just flown through it. Giichi looked up, and saw a safe flying up into the air.

A frikkin' safe?! How do you throw a safe that high?! Maybe I should go to where it's going to land...

[Tech Rathgen]

I stand up and hear the Priscilla talk about the town guard as she said, "The town guard will have questions, questions I do not want to answer." I brush myself off and listen to Giichi talk about the police and he said, "Miss...if you're his victim, then you have every reason in the world to talk to the police about it. I think you should stay and wait for them to show up. And if that monster does come out here, it won't be hard for me to get us out of here. Don't worry about it."

I walk over to where the two are and explain. "Mr. Cat, I'm the only police officer that's coming. She will be questioned now. I want to know--" I heard the safe slam on the ground with a loud boom. I waited for the sound to leave and then I decide not to question at the moment. "Forget it, I need to see if there's anyone that's alive or have been crushed by the safe. I'll see you later."

I rush toward the safe and I don't like what I see.

[Jijeka-Te]

Having successfully removed Relic's helmet (she seriously hadn't expected to succeed so flawlessly), she circled outwards and landed in a somersault. She then approached Anu to check on him; he was all right, it seemed.

She would take a break from her assault for the time being; she didn't want to get in anyone else's way.
