Golden Age: Revival

[Not at all, officer. What would make you think that?]

*As if knowing what he's think, Mimiru elbows Azuma in the side.*

"(What was that for?)"

Mimiru:<(Thinking stupid.)>

Kyoujin looked from the police to the group of newcomers and back again.
"...No, the problem has been dealt with. The beast that attacked is dead" Kyoujin pointed at the dead Manticore, "And the situation is under control."

*The cops take a long, hard look at the Manticore. One pulls out his badge and gun and hands them to the other.*

<I quit.>

*Allina muffles some giggling with her hands and then looks at the other cop, narrowing her eyes.*

"But officers" Kyoujin went on, "Please do find any members of my security who were hurt or killed and tend to them."

<Understood.>

*As they leave, some paramedics rush in and start examining the guards.*

N"So...perhaps we should discuss our business in private?"

"Would this really be the best place to do that? What with the whole Nobunaga having been here already."

"We can go inside" Kyoujin shrugged before turning to Luna, "Wait... Where the hell did Deborah go?"

"I, uh" Luna looked around, "Don't know..."

E"Why, can he turn himself invisible? ...Can this 'Deborah' turn herself invisible...?"

N"Well, we all knew this day was coming. Roatha killed, raped, and probably cannibalized a woman. For her sake, I hope it was in that order."

R"Shut up, asshole. I didn't see anyone else in the house."

Kyoujin wondered back into the house, followed by Luna, calling for Deborah.

"You're very supportive. The best self-proclaimed leader we could hope to have."

*Classy as everyone is, they surely follow. No one answers, but there's a message on the answering machine. Classy as he is, Nero pushes the button.*

Deborah<Hey, it's me, Deborah-->

R"Why does she introduce herself to people who already know her?"

N"Shh!"

<--remembered that I left the oven on, so I went back home. See you around.>

*Beep.*

Machine<You have no new messages.>

Taiyo:<That's the worst excuse ever.>

"There's probably a bomb in your house."

Allina: <She's probably hididng under your bed with a knife.>

Kyoujin picked up the phone and rang Deborah.

<Hi, this is Deborah. I can't come to the phone right now, so please leave your name and number after the beep.>

*BEEP!*

N"Is it possible he kidnapped her?"

R"Why?"

"You don't think..." Kyoujin mumbled, "Why would he kidnap her?"

Luna looked at Roatha, frowning, "You were the last one in this house before us, how can we know you don't have something to do with this?"

"Perhaps what Nero said had some truth to it."

R"Maybe she just doesn't want to talk to you. Ever think of that? No, you're right, I can't imagine why that would ever be the case. You're such a CHARMER."

"Said the pot to the kettle" Luna sighed.

"Compared to some of the other people we've met, she's a lot more charming than some."

[If we're lucky she'll be eaten by something too.]

N"I do think we should avoid acting hastily. He wouldn't come all this way, watch his first trap fail, and then just give up."

"But why would she leave that message if she had been kidnapped?" Kyoujin looked at Nero, concern written all over her face.

"Perhaps she was forced to do it."

N"No, you're missing my point. Regardless of whether or not she's been kidnapped, if we rush after her, he'll realize that she's an angle he can play."
