I cough up some blood and heeeeeeey there look at that shiny gun! It's the small one, she must have dropped it. She took the big one - a shame. But I'll get it when I capture her! Speaking of OH HELL I HAVE TO GIVE CHASE I HAVE TO-- wait
>Arm yourself first! Take the gun from the unconcious guy in the corner and a rifle too!
>Wait, check on your underlings! And the innocent civilians!
>Hold up you're bleeding, bandage yourself.
>OtheR??????

Do all of the above, in the following order:
Check underlings
Bandages
Arm thyself
Give chase
Because giving chase alone, bleeding and unarmed seems stupid.

>>586280
Yep. Your first job is to check for the people you are guarding, then you need to make sure you can actually fight if you catch up with her.

The going plan so far seems fine, but can Eric gimme DETAILS? I need those for stuff and plan forming.

>>586278
Check everyone in the room, check self, arm self, give chase.

Sure, but what details?
I pull myself together and go check on my underlings. They're....gonna live? I feel bad for them. They're rookies, and they're good people. They're worse off than me, so I rouse them and tell them to go disperse with the mob. Tell them it was canceled because bad weathe--fuck no. It was canceled because it was canceled. Wouldn't want her to run into people, that would cause more death.
I check on the two people unconcious - they're breathing, and on the fat guy held hostage.
He nearly spits in my face.
Something something 'AAAA YOUR BROTHER IS A TRAITOR AAAA' something. If only I could give a shit. I loom above him and cut him off - "Innocent until proven guilty. Or I walk." I don't want to think about Joseph partnering off with...with someone like HER. I hope he was forced. I don't want to arrest my brother, but I want to do the just thing.

I take the loaded pistol from the civilian and the fancy gun - I try it and it's empty. Sad. I tie the bastard witch's own shirt on my arm as a torniquet for her bites. It's kind of ironic. I like it. Her shirt is very soft. I hate her.
The hunt is on.

I must admit I sent them to do seemingly important shit because want to go alone. Because it's too dangerous for my guards and...I want to deal with her myself. Up close.
I duck out of the hole and see my surroundings - there's alleyways and - oh! There's a thick fire in the distance and there's shouting!! It's my job to see what the fuck was up - was it her? It was her I bet it was I bet she set it on fire because she's an EVIL TOOTHY BASTARD AUGH HOW DID SHE MOVE THAT FAST CARRYING A HEAVY MAN??? or maybe it wasn't her? do I check it out?
>wat do

Check out the fire, because no matter how much you wanna catch the evil toothy thing and exonerate your brother (also, you know, SAVE HIM), your job is to protect the people first.
Unless you don't give a fuck, in which case go for the toothy thing.

It's your job either way. So go investigate.

>>589715
Go for the fire, that witch is probably there. Or was probably seen there.

It is likely her, and if it isn't her there is still the fact that you know where the fire is but not where she is.

Good point.
Okay, fire it is. I sprint onwards, mentally going through a list of places there. There's some clothing shops, a blacksmith, there's a bar nearby...
I nearly collide with a woman. She calls out my name - I'm the law, everyone knows me - "Eric! It's insane! Help!" I steady her and ask her what she means. It takes a bit to calm her enough to be coherent, and I'm not very good with people. (Everyone says I show friendliness by glowering in silence.) "It's one of them bluecloth pirates! Insane! He punched a door straight off the hinges! He said he wants to question the law!" She runs on, terrified.
I sigh. It's the witch's troupe. Why'd they have to pick this town? Where did they even come from?
I creep closer, I make no sound. If it comes to violence I want the upper hand.

He's frying sausages on the pyre of what was once the blacksmith's shop and he is whistling.
I have absolutely no idea how to react.
>the woman mentioned he wants to 'question the law', talk to him (say what?)
>she also said he was insane, shoot him (where)

Neither. Walk up and arrest him, because he just burned down half your town.

I'm surprised the smith's shop was that... flammable. Isn't it just good sense to build a business that depends on intense flames out of non-flammable materials?

I feel like you should shoot him in the arm that's holding the sausages.

It's probably a trap. A big distraction to bait you in the open, while an accomplice attacks you!

Shoot his right arm (he's obviously hiding something behind his back) and duck for the nearest cover.

I would say so! Only half of it is flat-out consumed, and I think that the house will be salvageable - oh. There’s broken glass all around it, and there’s a bar nearby...so that means he lobbed some bottles of burning alcohol on the roof.
Speaking of surroundings - we’re the only ones here. Everything is empty. There isn’t even anybody trying to put out the fire. The square is deserted, the shops empty, just me, him, some bottles on the floor, and the cart he’s on. What gives? This twerpling can’t be that scary, and he apparently did all this...alone? He doesn’t seem like he noticed me, either.
>I feel like you should shoot him in the arm that's holding the sausages.
I feel the same way, my friend.

I aim for the hand, but miss ever so slightly, only grazing him. I shoot him in the sausages.
“Hey, I would’ve shared!” he objects and how is this my life. What mistakes have I made to have to deal with this. What exactly is god punishing me for. If it’s for flipping off that nun one time I’m not sorry.
I take a step forward, brandishing my gun. “Hey, you’re under arrest for--” and I don’t get to end that sentence. I suddenly lurch forward, feeling dizzy and disoriented. I hear snippets of fragmented sentences. I feel sick. I feel sick. I feel like I’m going to dredge up The Ghost Of Lunches Past.
He turns towards me, and his eyes snap open.

WHAT in the name of FUCK IS HIS EYE
The noise increases upon spotting me. He screams out towards me, and his voice is howling, wobbly, like he’s about to either cry or commit bloody murder, maybe both.
“WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY CAPTAIN??!” I don’t understand.
“MY CAPTAIN! GRANIT!” Oh! He must be talking about the witch! “YOU KILLED HER! I KNOW YOU KILLED HER!” Man, I wish.
I point my gun at his head. “Stay back,” I warn. “YOU KILLED HER MY FRIEND SAID YOU KILLED HER--”
I still feel like throwing up and what is happening what do I say
>”Yes, I did.”
>”No, calm down!”
>”I wish I did.”
>”Buddy you’re under fuckin’ arrest.”
>OTHER

"I didn't kill anyone, and I would like it to stay that way, so BACK THE FUCK AWAY AND PUT YOUR GODDAMN HANDS IN THE AIR!"

>>590058
>”No, calm down!”

Close your eyes. He's being loud enough that you can keep tabs on him blind and it might help on the effect his eye has.

Say something like "You've been misinformed. No one's been killed. Calm down, please." Maybe add: If you're talking of the the crazy, pink haired, pointy teethed lady, I saw her alive and well just minutes ago.

He's being very emotional, but at least half of it's grief, so if you can remove his reason to rage there's a decent chance he'll break down in tears. Particularly if you make a show of compassion.

... then you can arrest him for arson.

Okay, I close my eyes. Oh shit, a show of compassion? I’m not sure I can do that, I’m a bad actor...
“You’ve been misinformed! No one’s been killed! Calm down!” I take a step back, the weird distorted sounds intensifying. They’re voices, talking about prototypes and conflicts and other shit I don’t care for one bit! Closing my eyes doesn’t help, but, at least I don’t have to look at his fuckin’ ugly mug.
“Are you talking about the crazy pointy tooth lady??? I saw her alive and well!” Her bites twang with pain. For a moment, I’m consumed by hatred, and I stagger back some more. “It’s okay!” I say, because that’s what people say when you’re hurt, right? That’s what people say and don’t mean and hope you don’t figure out their motives - and at this point I don’t mean everything’s okay because I’m gonna arrest him for arson. Somehow.

Closing my eyes just let him sneak up on me.
Well.
Not exactly sneaking up. More like strangling. Ow. He’s really strong for a pint-sized pirate??? UNFAIR. The sounds quadruple on contact, screaming and I get visual hallucinations for the briefest of seconds. I remember to open my eyes and regret it because now I see his weird eye again.
“AND IF THAT WAS THE TRUTH, YOU WOULDN’T HAVE HER GUN!” (Ohhhhhhhhhhhh shit RIGHT the gun in my belt it’s the weird witchy gun) he screams, squeezing his fingers around my throat
>what do

SHOOT HIM WITH THE THING????????
Well, okay, failing that just... try and get his hands off your throat for long enough to say "Please let me explain!" and then just... tell the truth, actually, because in this case the truth is really in your favour.

>>591437

Okay I have to say I am normally much more cool and collected I swear!
But I got this. I’m going to get out of this alive and relatively well (after all that happened to me today, I don't ask for much).
There’s another wall-mouth here, and it’s screeching at me to ‘FOLLOW THE GREEN ARROWS’ yadda yadda, but I’d rather it told me why this just happened.
And. Uh.
I feel like I should say something to this kid.
>what do/say

uhh, kid, do you know where I am and what's going on right now?

And personally I'm for following the arrows. It's not like you've anywhere cooler to float to.

"Where the hell am I and why do you have mouths on your wall???"

Also, either follow the arrows or go in the exact opposite direction - for all you know, it could be a trap. Maybe just find one of the locals and follow them?
