11:30: The Cemetary Gates

[youcandielater]

[Misato's in the middle of a fight, kicking and scrabbling and beating people back with about as much force as the officials- if not more, because she's military trained, dammit, not some bullshit police officer. In the ensuing chaos, no one's really pegged her as not being one. She just happened to be passing through and had stopped to watch the funeral proceedings and now she's taking out a hell of a lot of pent up anger out on some faces. It would be worse if SERO hadn't confiscated her gun- thank God for small miracles. Not that she'd use a gun in an area filled with civilians. But if one of these assholes got a hold of it somehow...

One of the protesters goes down with a broken nose and Misato knocks another one's legs out from under him and then pins him down to the ground, one heel pressed against his throat.]

Call them off. Now. Do it!

[Someone comes up behind her. She got sloppy. She forgot to check every angle before stopping to interrogate someone. And now? Well, now she's a few seconds from getting a crack across the skull.]

[Garrus had turned out to see the funeral procession, at the very least out of a sense of curiosity. If he'd known how badly out of hand things were going to get though, he might have stayed home.]

Excuse me, coming through.

[He elbowed the more violent protesters out of the way, he'd seen a woman fighting...aha. Breaking from the crowd he grabbed her would be attacker firmly around the wrist and pivoted, hurling him to the ground.

Straightening he bared his teeth and flared his mouth-parts at the nearest people menacingly, earning gasps of fear and surprise. People weren't exactly used to a Turian yet.]

[Misato whirled at the movement to her left, wrenching her shoe free of the man's throat. Her first instinct was to draw back- what was that thing, anyway? But it spoke- in a male voice, too, and he had saved her, even if she didn't seem all that grateful.]

What do you think you're doing? [Other than saving her ass and being all growly monster thing at the civilians. Meanwhile, her would be victim was limping away with a bruised throat.]

[ive_got_reach]

Saving you from yourself. [He shot back, looking over his shoulder before turning to growl at the circling crowd again.] And a cracked skull I might add.

[A man with a bad edged forward and Garrus planted a kick in his midsection, retrograde legs giving him the power to propel his attacker back into the crowd.]

We should go, they'll get their courage back soon enough.

[youcandielater]

I was fi- [She pauses to uppercut someone and then jabs another in the stomach with an elbow. All this in a miniskirt. Go her.] If you wanna duck and run, then that's fine. I'm doing damage control. Thanks for the help, but I can handle it just fine now.

[ive_got_reach]

Don't be stupid, you're not helping anything by throwing punches and crushing someone's throat. You're not doing damage control, you're just causing MORE damage.

[Garrus backs from the now slowly advancing crowd, hissing again.]

This is the point where a tactical retreat is in order.

[youcandielater]

If you retreat, then they're just going to brand you a coward and innocent people will get hurt because of it. The best course of action is to fight them into a retreat and then get the civilians in the crossfire out of the way. [GOD, KAREN. WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID? ...Granted, Misato's sense of tactics tend to be more dramatic and often guided by her conscience, but that's neither here nor there.]
