[Oh no. Not this guy again.]

...Go away!

Just go away!

Go play solitaire or something!

[Bad luck, Ruby, you're the first one to respond to his message.]

Thank you.

[Video]

[onecream_fivesugar]

[That wasn't what she was expecting at all.]

...Uhmmm... Your welcome?

[Action]

[jim_fixes_it]

[Nope. Nothing else from him after that. Whatever the heck that was about, it looks like he's back to doing... whatever it is this guy does with his time.]

[Yep, everything's right back to normal. ... At least until some time passes and the gunfire starts because wherever Ruby is right now, somebody's shooting at her.]

[betel_geuse]

Betelgeuse didn't bother turning on the video feed, like he normally would. Instead, he sent a quick text.

[You need a hobby, pal. Have you tried finger painting?]

[Action]

[onecream_fivesugar]

[Huh. Did he actually listen to her? Well that went a whole lot better than she thought it would. Everything's coming up Ruby today. She's going to go and celebrate by picking up some snacks at the store!

...On her way home however she finds herself on the run from gunfire.

WHY!? WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TODAY!?

She's going to leap behind a car for cover for now.]

[jim_fixes_it]

[Huh. Well... this is a tough one.]

I was trying to take part in my favorite hobby. I suppose I can't just have a dead man shot though.

[Action]

[jim_fixes_it]

[It happened because you were the first one to answer. Just the luck of the draw.]

[The gunfire keeps crackling from the buildings over her head and the car is quickly turning into swiss cheese, windows shattering. The snipers seem pretty determined to get her, and why not? There's a big price tag on whoever bags one of Jim's playthings today.

Have a text too.]

Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

[betel_geuse]

Oh, now that was worth an actual reply! Betelgeuse turned on the videofeed, showing his face.

"I don't see why not. I mean, the bullet would still hit me; it just wouldn't make me any deader. Of course, then I'd be able to find you and make this face!" Betelgeuse cackled.

He turned into his snake form, hissing merrily at the videoscreen.

[suparna]

Are you bored? You sound bored.

[Action]

[onecream_fivesugar]

[This is not working out for her. She's going to pull out Crescent Rose and fires a shot to launch herself away from the car into an alley way. She's frantically looking around to see if she can get a look at any of snipers.

Jim will have to wait to get a response to that text for now. She can't read and dodge at the same time.]

[Voice]

[warring_triad]

Augh, you and me both...

Turnabout is fair play, y'all (Leading into the npc thing, seeing as I have been fail about posting?

[baconandsnausages]

[Have a text with no sender named on it. That should tell you something that's about to happen... is about to happen.]

This might give you something to do.

[Pictures of one of your nice little dust warehouses going up in smoke and fire and- oh, crap, he didn't expect there to be magical explosions, just flames, but goddamn it he's not going to stop it. Not that he could if he wanted to right now. But he doesn't want to - the only thing he regrets at the moment is that he couldn't watch longer than it took to get the few pictures he sent before he headed off to what he's doing now.

But that was about an hour ago - you probably already know about the arson before he's sending the message - but he's hoping it's enough of a distraction that it means he can finish what he's doing over on this set of offices over here. Infiltration. He didn't do it before he got some information there about this one over here. And these are offices. Far more shmancy, so more than likely more important in the chain. He's hoping, anyway. Usually important things are in offices.]

[Action] Here I come to save the dayyyy~!

[short_n_sweet]

[Enter Jaune!]

[Gunfire? That's never good. Especially out in the open, in the middle of the day! What the heck was up with that?! Jaune may have been a block away at most, and when he heard the shots, he raced to the scene! (Albeit very begrudgingly. He may be a deputy guardian, but heck, guns are scary!)]

[Jaune cuts down the alleyway, sword and shield in hand, and he hurries towards the scene with daring-do! And, well, it may have been impressive had he not clipped a trash can. With a loud crashing clatter, the boy practically flips and tumbles onto the ground, laid flat out by his own doing.]

Guh... ugh... [The heck is going on anyway?!]

My hero~

[onecream_fivesugar]

[Ruby only heard the crash from Jaune's "dramatic" entrance onto the scene as she was a bit too busy looking for snipers. So busy that she tripped right over him as she attempted to launch herself into the alley to find new cover.

She lands ontop of him with a light thud against his armor, completely dazed from the fall at the moment.]

Wha-what happened? Did I get them?

[Action]

[short_n_sweet]

[Oof! Jaune wasn't expecting Ruby, but then he probably should have since she seems to be a total trouble magnet. When she lands on him, it's not that much of an impact since she's actually pretty light, but the fact that the blade of Crescent Rose lands right near his head is a little alarming.]

>___>;

I... I dunno... did you? I hope you did. Who's 'them?'

[Action]

[onecream_fivesugar]

[Ruby clears her her head by giving it a quick shake, She doesn't realize she's landed on Jaune until he speaks up.]

Wha? Jaune!? What are doing here? It's dangerous!

[Ruby catches sight of a dumpster near by and quickly grabs a hold of Crescent Rose before she starts to scramble to get behind it.]

Over here, quick! I don't know who these guys are, they just started shooting at me!

[Maybe she'll get a chance to check her phone and piece together who's behind this soon.]

[cadet]

i'm sorry?

[hunter_returns]

[Don't mind nerdboy here. Just quietly sitting with his comm, doing his level best to track you.

Yeah - Dean's filled him in, so he's under fairly good cover while he works. May as well start discreetly since Dean is off doing Big Exploding Things.]

[jim_fixes_it]

[Wait a second, the gunfire stops for a second....

Ugh, the snipers are negotiating a new price for two targets. Ugh, this is why he prefers to work with desperate people who will do anything for a buck.]

Just a second. Working something out.

[... Okay! Deal confirmed! They're taking aim again.]

[jim_fixes_it]

[Such snake. Very claymation. Wow! Much scale.]

Are you trying to frighten me or something?

[jim_fixes_it]

It's starting to get better.

[Hold on, he's looking up a guy to fling a molotov cocktail at you.]

[Text]

[jim_fixes_it]

I know. You'd think these people might offer some amusement every now and again.

[Hey, wait, isn't this guy one of those magic types... maybe....]

Say. Do you think you could kill a ghost?

[Text]

[jim_fixes_it]

I'm not.

[Wait. Where are you Gaila? Wherever it is, did somebody order a drive-by shooting? Was it you? I hope so, because you're getting one.]

I suggest you google that site before you enter any addresses

[jim_fixes_it]

[He doesn't mind at all, you big giant nerd. In fact, it seems you're even having some luck tracing his message even as it seems to be bounced all over the city. Could it be that Sam Winchester has finally managed to track down the elusive M--

-- oh no. No, wait. Sorry, false alarm, you just get linked to lemonparty.org.]
