[OOC: After Shinjiro's video message]

As the suspect has just announced, there is currently a dangerous individual at large. Despite his video making it look otherwise, he remains contained within a currently heavily guarded subarchway.

Although he styles himself a vigilante, citizens are asked to proceed with caution until the threat has been removed, just in case of a breakthrough. Law enforcement is working with experts to resolve the situation speedily.

Other vigilantes are strongly discouraged from engaging inside or outside the subarchway; the Guardian's office will not take responsibility for self-endangering behavior.

[also OOC, not part of the text message, but relevant to the plot, Blaze's files

I appreciate the warning, but you and your men need to stay out of the way of myself and my friends. This is a personal matter, and we're going to take care of it.

[ Ugh. He's not had any sleep but he's got some villain kid menacing the good upstanding citizens. Not the best time to deal with argumentative people, too. ]

You have an odd definition of personal matter, as lawbreakers tend to be the matter of law enforcement. Entrance to the subarchway is forbidden to all but the Guardian's office.

[She's taking a risk going the official route, but she's already on her way. Best to try the legal channel first if she can!]

I'd like to request special permission to pass! I'm a healer. There's something really wrong with Shinjiro-san, because he'd never say or do those things.

[At least, as far as she knows, he wouldn't.]

I can help to snap him out of it before the situation escalates.

[She presses her palms together.]

Please. I'll sign any waivers necessary!

Are you aware of the dangers in this subarchway?
Have the people familiar with it informed you about Shadows?

Cassian... What is happening? Are you safe? Are you okay?

[spacepeterpan]

[Oh, good, authorities, there's never a problem with authorities. He smiles, although it's just a bit challenging, like he's a bit skeptical. ....maybe just because he's not been called on as an expert, yet.]

Ah, good, hello, I'm the Doctor, here to help, and you said experts, so, you already know something more than what he's said, yeah?

I think after this, I might just go back to living in my apartment and never coming out.

Is the world really this bad?

[Video]

[initia_nova]

Do you need any extra help? I know Shinjiro and I really don't want anything to happen to him for this misunderstanding. He's obviously not in his right mind now.

[And Scott knows all too well how the police handles people with supernatural abilities. usually there's bullets involved.]

[shelteringwings]

Amazing how we say "don't get involved" and then everyone is like "HI I WANT TO GET INVOLVED"

[Not that he's incredibly annoyed by that or anything. No. Not at all.]

[captain_by_the_book]

[ He pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs. Of course. More people wanting to go in there. And this one is polite, so being rude in return is harder. ]

The problem is not your ability to help him, I'm concerned for your own safety. Do you have experience with the powers of this subarchway?

[captain_by_the_book]

The Guardian's office has files on a previous breach from Guardian Blaze, we have been studying them again, but I wouldn't be averse to more information. Are you one of the people from that world?

Re: text;

[captain_by_the_book]

This is why I wish we could have kept it quiet. Kriffing video message, why does every villain have to give grand speeches?

[Video]

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Rude. He wouldn't shoot. Okay, he would totally shoot if that evil Shinjiro breached the archway. ]

Thank you for your help, but there's not much to do for most people. Only specially trained people can be trusted to go inside the subarchway without falling prey to the same phenomenon that affects him.

[captain_by_the_book]

Don't let one man with too much bluster and a fondness for melodrama disturb you. The reason he is making threats is that this is all he can do.

[captain_by_the_book]

Yes, we do. [ Authorities, indeed. Authorities who are a little disgruntled, even. He hasn't slept since Saturday, and looks the part. ] This isn't the first such incident, we have documentation as well as that we are in contact with people familiar with this subarchway.

[captain_by_the_book]

I'm safe, and so is everybody else in Attleton. It is only dangerous for people who go through the subarchway.

[:| This is why Scott has trust issues, Cassian.]

I've heard it's a dangerous place and I wasn't going to try and get inside there. I don't want to cause more trouble than the one you are dealing with but I'll like to be present, if possible.

I'll keep my distance but Shinjiro is...[Scott pauses. 'Friend' is perhaps a strong word but he likes the other teen.]...someone I care about.

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Cassian heaves a disgruntled sigh. Great. More babysitting. ]

I can't stop you, as long as you don't get in the way. Feel free to join the other nosy people. If there is a breach and you get in the way of a firefight, don't come complaining to me.

[initia_nova]

[As if Scott isn't capable of taking care of himself, Cassian.]

I won't. Nor get in the way or complain.

I'll see you there, Guardian Andor.

[captain_by_the_book]

I can't wait.

[ What joy is his life. What. Joy. ]

Illusions of grandeur I guess that makes them want to bring attention to themselves. "Look at me! I'm soooo evil!"

Dude, if your goal was just to give everyone headaches and make their eyeballs to do backflips in their skulls, you at least accomplished that much.

[initia_nova]

Are you not used to people keeping their word? I said I won't interfere with your work.

[Poor Cassian. So much stress in his life...]

[captain_by_the_book]

I'm hoping you wouldn't do it on purpose, at the very least.

[ Why is police work such a spectator sport???

Because everything vaguely gossip-worthy is a spectator sport in Attleton.]

[captain_by_the_book]

The spectators aren't helping, either. First person to open a lemonade stand is getting arrested.

Maybe the speeches would be more entertaining if we didn't have to deal with the fallout.

[initia_nova]

No, I would not. I'm a very peaceful individual.

[Because laws, Cassian. Rebel work was less stressing, uhm?]
