It's a peaceful day out on the edge of town, the sun is shining, it's not too hot out, what could possibly go wrong? Well, over there that looks like something that could go wrong. Slowly walking towards the town is a girl, desperation and fear written across her face, wearing torn and seemingly partially burnt black clothes, and the smell of gunpowder follows her. Even more worryingly however, in one hand she’s holding what looks like some kind of pistol, and in the worn backpack she carries upon her back it looks like she might be packing more firepower in there. The only question now is, is anyone brave enough to try and talk to her or shall she be given a wide berth at all times?

The answer to that question shall be answered by yet another young female, an obvious, light blue skinned lemurian, probably a teen, seems to be walking accross the first road in town, close to the mysterious gunslinger. Instead of a shirt, the young lemurian seems to be covering herself with a series of bandages, atleast from her chest downwards to the base of her belly, where two small fins there prevent any further wrappings to be fold around her torso. In addition to that she wears an open jacket, and a set of short pants. A large fish tail seems to be wagging lightly behind her while she is enjoying popsicle on the hot day, hands behind her head and arms casually pointing outwards.
Atleast until she takes notice of the half blown up girl, first with a surprised first glance, to be followed by her head turning and her eyes opening further to observe her more properly. She drifts off her straight path towards the girl instead, shifting the popsicle in her mouth with her tounge skillfully so that she can talk... atleast somewhat
"Mmmmmhhh ish that a gun in your hand ? Ywou look wike you came right out of an action movwie"
Aiko says as she approaches.

Alexis sits below the tent of an outdoor cafe, stirring her soup bowl while listening to the cell phone in her right hand. "...No, you're the one who isn't listening, Claurice. This isn't about who's assigned to what case--this is about making sure a pompous misogynist is brought into the open before someone else makes her mistake. I expect those papers on my desk. Tonight." As the voice on the other side protests, Alexis' eyes lazily scan the streets just beyond the plaza... and the glint of gunmetal. "Claurice, I'm going to have to cut you off," she says, turning away for a moment. "Something more urgent just came up. No, I'm not dropping this--I'll see you tomorrow with the briefing, and nothing less." With a swipe of the thumb, she ends the call, looking back--only to see Aiko approaching the stranger. With a quiet curse, Alexis stands to approach the couple, carefully planning her first words.

At some point, Addy had acquired a shadow behind her, though looking closer revealed it was actually a younger looking vampire woman that seemed to drag herself along, here posture protesting against the bright, clear weather. In reality, Seina hadn't been following Addy, but simply wound up near her through her efforts in trying to ignore the bright sun and chase after Ultramons on her phone, and though it wasn't too hot outside, Seina's choice to wear her typical baggy sweatpants and animal hoodie, the current day's choice being a bright green frog hoodie worn with hood down, had rendered her less comfortable than she'd have liked. Seina, finally noticing the smell more than anything about the woman in front of her, looks up from her phone. "Ah man... It's way too hot for cosplay... Though, I have to admire the dedication. The prop pistol looks real enough to shoot bullets and the realistic clothing damage must have taken a dog's age. Oh and use of a sulfur ammonia compound to mimic the smell of gunpowder is genius, though perhaps overkill..." Seina sighs and scratches her head, her posture returning to a slouch.
She peeks over to Aiko and grins. "She did a really good job on her costume, huh?" However, she doesn't seem to notice Alexis quite yet, though doubtless Seina's addition to the scenario would not be pleasing to her.

Robin’s question is likewise soon answered as she finds that gun pointed right at her, Addy’s hands shaking quite a bit. And then….more people join the party, Addy switching her aim back and forth between Robin and Seina, glancing over at Alexis as she comes over too. “W-who are you? W-what do you want? W-were you sent after me?”
Something sounds….rather off about her voice oddly enough. At first glance...first hearing? It seems more or less normal, but there’s noticeable gaps...lack of much inflection to her words, nothing so severe to say, make it difficult to tell what she’s saying but there’s many minor details noticeable missing to give her the normal variances of a human voice.

Seinas pauses, and then looks at the gun and back at Addy's face, before looking back to her phone when a weird noise comes from it. She immediately starts twisting around, tapping at her phone and looking ridiculous as she aims at some invisible entity. "Wait- Aw. It got away..."
She lowers the phone and smiles at Addy. "Yup. Definitely selling it. You are really good at this. I don't think even I could voice distortion that good with out practicing for a long time. Very impressive, though it's a bit too convincing, I think you might scare someone." She pauses. "Hey... If you're new in town would you like to come hang out? Maybe get something to drink and eat while we talk? You aren't obligated to, but it seems like a better option than playing by yourself. Actually why don't we all go? Name's Seina." Seina puts away her cellphone and offers Addy her hand.

Aiko's response to having a gun aimed at her was quite simple! With a surprised gasp that turns into a somewhat angered expression she raises her small, webbed hand, which clenches into a fist before she simply proceeds to try and punch her in the face the moment the gun was not held on her anymore
"Take care where you aim that thing at that's not funny!"
(Unless Addy would like to take the punch as part of the RP, at which I would not like to deal damage per say or consequences, this shall count as proper attack for which I roll, just in case...)

(Wow that's... so bad haha, 0 for the attack, using agility!) ···

"Aiko! No!"
Alexis stands before the three, one hand outstretched, her serpents swaying along down her back, though she doesn't make any further sudden movements. Remember the seminar. Don't startle the gunman. Make them uncomfortable, not uncontrolled. The gorgon thought about trying to change shape into something less threatening, but that would require time... and getting emotional. Keep calm, and you have an advantage over the gunsman.
"Miss? Nobody here wants to hurt you. None of us could, even if we wanted to. You're holding all the power here." She tilts her head, indicating the pistol. "But if you keep waving that weapon around, someone will call the police, and they will bring their own weapons. We-- I might be able to help you. But I need you to disarm yourself, so we can talk about this peacefully."
((Attempting a Persuasion roll to... 'block' people from attacking? Hrm. Well, my base Persuasion is 3, but I don't think I can apply any relevant aspects yet.

Meanwhile, a man in a black suit approaches...takes one look at the things going on, and blinks. "Well...I appear unnecessary..."

The relative calmness and reasonableness of the group seems to slowly but surely start calming Addy down...and then Aiko tries to punch her, though luckily Alexis steps in at just the right time, forcing Aiko to pull the punch else hurt her friend. Addy clenches a fist in response and almost looks like she’s gonna fire or such, before slowly lowering the gun. She looks...almost a little shaken but much more neutral at this point. Doesn’t look like she’s gonna shoot anyone anytime soon now. Unless someone does something stupid.

The man in the black suit blinks, quietly reaching into his pocket. "...Well, that was anti-climatic...to intervene, or not..."

Seina pauses, her hand still reaching out to Addy. Clearing her throat she decides to try again, though you can see she's starting to sweat a little. Whether it's from a sensitivity to the weather or because the brief deterioration of the situation it's unclear. Regardless. "A-anyway. This is clearly a misunderstanding. Like I said: I'm Seina. If there's anything I can help you out with your cosplaying I'll try. But let's go somewhere quieter and talk about this? Please?" Her arm seems to be getting tired from holding it out for so long.

"Okay. Alright." Alexis isn't sure when she raised her arms; now, she lowers them, and straightens up. "So. Someone has been chasing you? And you feel threatened enough to use deadly force?" They were statements as much as they were questions--a theory, waiting to be confirmed. "I... we know someone who can help. Someone who has a lot of experience helping people in your situation. Now, she's not associated with the police, if that concerns you. And she certainly has no ties with any criminal organization or leader. But she has a lot of resources and friends in the right places. She may be able to help you." Alexis' eyes turned to Seina and Aiko in turn, and the soft, careful look briefly turned into a hard, prompting stare.

"Chased huh ? Doubt they'd look like us though... so waving your gun around was still dumb I'd say..."
At Alexis' description of a powerfull and influential friend that can help out, Aiko couldn't help herself but think that it might've been her that she talked about, maybe her reputation spread to these parts too. The young lemurian girl chuckled a bit with a wide, knowing grin and a nod, rubbing her knuckles against her chest a bit "Oh... yes. I think I might be able to help you out..."

Addy stares at Alexis...kinda unnervingly so. She really doesn’t blink all that often does she? Regardless, she nods to Alexis, scooching a little bit away from Aiko and closer to Seina. She occasionally glances at Seina’s outstretched hand, fully turning her head each time to do so, seeming almost...confused by the gesture. She finally speaks again, though this time she sounds much more...natural, her voice still seems off but not as badly so now, though little more neutral sounding than one would expect from someone waving a gun around before. “Okay….thank you for the help.”
It's a little unclear as to who she’s directing that to, mostly Seina and Alexis it seems, she mostly just seems to be avoiding looking at Aiko regardless. She also hasn’t even really looked at the stranger who showed up….it's almost like she never noticed him, but if she hadn’t she wouldn’t be able to not look at him to the sheer extent that she is. She then focuses her attention solely on Alexis once more. “I don’t know what they call themselves, I was never told. It was deemed unimportant. They are always willing to use full military force...I don’t really know the extent of it...I think they had guns. And hats. But I think some had helmets....” Aaaand now Addy seems to have zoned out. The memories of hats and helmets must be powerful.
