Ah.  ...Hello, yes.  I wish to speak to Officer Grady, if at all possible.  ...Off duty today?  Yes, yes, I understand.  The holiday, after all.  Perfectly understandable.  Yes, but I'd like to file a report for him to investigate whenever he returns.

What's the problem...?  It's a bit difficult to explain... How do I

[Miku's just strolling down the sidewalk when she sees said man in impeccable suit running from said red and grey samurai. She's...more confused than anything.

Her first thoughts, honestly, were 'RUN!'. But she can't help but feel some pity for both of them.

Plus, it's kinda funny, so she'll just be standing off to the side, giggling at the scene.]

Out of the way, there's a good girl; run on home now to your mot -- Hurk

[Alas. His scarf catches on a tree branch as he turns towards Miku and he performs the classic face plant maneuver.]

[perfectvoice]

[That does it, she's broken into full-on laughter by now, completely forgetting about the monster.]

Ah, that was great!

[Yes, she'll help him up just...give her a moment to get all the laughter out of her system. It's been a while.]

[tenebrousking]

I-I don't see what's so great about being monster fricassee!

[Bisharp chokes out as he tries to unravel the scarf. The monster slowly but surely continues to lumber after.]

[perfectvoice]

[Okay, now she'll help, mostly by stepping in front of the monster and waving hi.

Is she oblivious to her fate as messy bits all over the pavement? Yep, she is.]

Do you like leeks?

[...That was totally non-sequitur, and the small drone part of her is already screaming at her to run. However, she's far too busy pulling out a leek from somewhere on her person and offering it to Bisharp.]

[tenebrousking]

((Should have said *Grimsley, not Bisharp.))

[Bisharp will slow down as the little girl approaches. And stop entirely at the question. ....It seems to consider it for a second before reaching out a hand... and slicing the leek in half with a blade it extends from its appendage.]

What are you doing?!

[perfectvoice]

((OOC: ...oops.))

...Ah, sorry?

[Okay, back away, back away she does not want to be sliced to death]

[tenebrousking]

((No, no, I was noting a mistake I made in my post!))

[The Pokemon will continue to walk forward at its previous steady pace, ignoring the girl in favor of the man still tied to the tree branch.

...Grimsley will cast a desperate glance towards Miku.]

Do you mind fetching me a priest? I may need one quite soon.

[perfectvoice]

((OOC: Ah, thanks!))

[She has no idea what to do now, but maybe trying to free him will help.

So she'll be a little busy trying to help by trying to pull the scarf from the tree--hard.]

[tenebrousking]

[How Grimsley managed to get so stuck is baffling. Either way, Miku successfully succeeds in choking him even further while Bisharp approaches.

...It pauses. Just to look at the two of them for a moment or two and gloat.]

[perfectvoice]

Sorry!

[This is why you don't let derpy singing robots try to help when you're running away from potentially dangerous monsters. They make things worse.]

[tenebrousking]

[One slash cuts through Grimsley's scarf, a flash of the other hand and Bisharp has his master by the neck. It begins to drag the man away.]

G-Gah...! Er. Not a problem; mustn't blame yourself; just send the police over when you've --

[Erk. He bumps over a fire hydrants and shuts up.]

[perfectvoice]

['Call the police,' her drone voice says. 'RUN!!' her rational self says.

Miku's just going to ignore both pieces of advice and yell, as loud as she possibly can.]

Hey! If you let him go, I'll sing for you!

[tenebrousking]

[Bisharp will actually stop at that, and turn to stare at Miku. It stares. ...Then it rolls its eyes slightly and resumes dragging Grimsley again.]
