[ THE CALL ]

[verty_events]

The inhabitants of the Temple were all assembled in the Dining Hall. It was a large room with high ceilings, warmed by the fire in the fireplace opposite the main entrance and several smaller braziers scattered between the tables. The three large tables, normally set side by side, had been pushed against the walls to clear a space at the center of

One moment Kevas is watching a mansion burn down and the next he's in a...temple. Fantastic.

For a few seconds Kevas stood in stunned silence, and then the shooting started. Instinct took over at that point and Kevas ran, keeping his head low. There were too many people around to stealth. Better just escape in the confusion. Although being the only seven foot, green troll wearing a hat and covered in blood kind of makes you stand out.

Hey, it's a furry purple thing covered in blood. He kind of could pass off as something from Haven, so Tess taps him on the shoulder from behind.

"Hey. Mind telling me what's going on?"

She tries her hardest to sound frustrated.

When Kevas feels someone tap his shoulder, the troll whips around to grab them...and then immediately relaxes when he realizes it's a ladymon. Even better, she isn't trying to kill him.

"Hell if I know ladymon but I ain't stickin' round here."

Not with all the gunfire and screaming anyway.

[shocksanglocks]

If he'd grabbed her, she'd have him on her shit list faster than he could apologize.

"We can't just leave, I mean they threw us this nice party. Let's have some food then we can leave."

[pimp_hat]

Seriously? People are screaming, someone is shooting, and she wants to stop for some pie?

"Ladymon I t'ink we should worry 'bout food once da shit be done hittin' da fan."

Right now Kevas badly wants to run for the nearest exit he can find, but at the same time he can't just abandon the ladymon. What kind of gentlemon would he be if he did that?

[shocksanglocks]

Obviously, Kevas has never been to Haven City. Getting shot at and having to talk over helpless citizens being assaulted by the military police force isn't something that Tess isn't used to. And for the record, Tess isn't a fan of pie.

Also, Tess thinks your accent is adorable.

"Well, if I could just find my blaster I could take care of it."

[pimp_hat]

No Kevas had the good fortune of never visiting Haven. However he has been shot enough times to know he doesn't like being shot, and he's not sticking around long enough to get shot.

"Blastah?"

So the ladymon was packing heat. Keyword there being was. Speaking of, it was about this time Kevas realized the distinct lack of weight near his waist. His swords, his axes, both were gone. Oh things just keep getting better and better don't they?

"Ladymon, in times like dis I t'ink haulin' ass be da best option."

So please just run so he doesn't have to drag your ass out of here. Kevas would really rather not make a bad first impression. Although being covered in blood wasn't the best way to start things off.

Also, his accent wasn't adorable...it was charming.

[shocksanglocks]

"Yup, blaster. I've got a few back home and I can say that they never have a chance to collect dust."

Tess doesn't have enough extra cloth in her clothing to keep any concealed weapons, so the moment that her big ol' blaster left her hands she was left weaponless. Tess shifts her weight to the opposite hip.

"I really think you're, like, overreacting."

She's not totally blowing off the magnitude of this situation, she's just a bit more chill than most people. It could be a blessing or a curse depending on who you ask.

[pimp_hat]

Well Tess, Kevas just got done killing a lot of people and was then immediately brought here. In his paranoid mind that didn't bode well for his situation.

"Bettah safe den sorry."

[shocksanglocks]

"Well then what do you suppose we do?"

[pimp_hat]

"Lay low and get da hell outta here befuh t'ings get worse."

Although from the sound of things the shooting stopped, but there was still plenty of panic going around.
