general crime...fighting...? OPEN TO ANYTHING yes_mother_hen January 10 2012, 17:09:12 UTC

[from one scene of chaos to another-- it's funny, considering that his mind wanders to images of Blackwood and his following of 'Dark Magic', even if that case pales in comparison to the one that he's just come back from. Ironic, really, that the events of that case should now be a little more relevant to this current situation than his most recent endeavor.

not that he doesn't see the correlations between the threat of impending war and...this. Moriarty's words ring fresh in his mind: "humans have a proclivity towards conflict--you're fighting the human condition, Mr. Holmes."

he traces a dried graffiti scrawl with one finger, pretending not to notice the group of shady-looking gentlemen coming towards him. most likely after his wallet-- Holmes surmises that the first three are the attackers, and the gentleman in the back row is the leader.

it's funny, how obvious they make their lineup.

first line of attack? does he need backup? either way, this is gonna be a brawl!!!]

Chaos? Duo lives for it. He arrived to Thor on the weekend only to find chaos everywhere. He is starting to believe it's his destiny, to jump from one world to the other, taking care of people who are against peace. No rest for the God of the Death.

The lineup is quite obvious, yes, but Duo doesn't know the full capacity of Holmes, so he decides to help like the good guy he is.

"Four 'gainst one? Now that's a lil' unfair, ain't it?"

Maybe he'll confuse the detective's observation skills a little bit. Duo talks, moves and fights like a thief - because he's indeed one, a child from the streets (although some traces of formal training could be notices here and there). But he's not with the gang or to rob Holmes, he's there to help - and help he will.

Fast and smooth movements - the leader is his.

Holmes had mapped out a course of attack, as always, but his train of actions is effectively cut off when the stranger jumps in (he's reminded of a certain gypsy)-- the young man's fighting style is reminiscent of things he sees when he boxes for 'leisure', but the fluidity of it all clues Holmes in to something more.

...But, either way, the rest of his plan remains intact, so instead of standing there with his eyes fixed on the newcomer (which he does do, for a split second), Holmes moves in and effectively disarms the thug that's nearest to him with a well-aimed punch and an uppercut.

"I do believe they weren't aiming to be 'fair'."

"If they were aimin' for anythin' at all."

Chaos for the sake of chaos, that's what Thor looks like at the moment. Panic in the masses, a sight too familiar for Duo's liking. Well, at laest he can hit these, not like those demons from the last place he was at...

Impressed by Holmes movements, Duo decides to do a fair division. After putting the leader to sleep, he takes care of the third thug, leaving the other two for Holmes.

Two was, after all, a beautiful number.

[Life on Thor had been relatively calm since she arrived, but now with the black hole and everyone in despair, Rhyme had put on a smile and tried to cheer people up between work. It worked for some, but didn't work much for others.]

[The several around her were part of the latter group mostly, but were enjoying what mess it had 'The End' had spiraled into. She wasn't unfamiliar with their sort since she grew up in Shibuya, but it was the burliness and impossibility of escaping right now that scared her. They wanted her bell pendant (apparently for the frightening female alien present), but...]

I can't give it to you. Please leave me alone...

[She clutched it tightly, her hands shaking. The group just loomed over her. They would only give her a short time before just outright stealing it like her groceries. Help?]

[Thankfully, help is exactly what comes. Minato's been out on the streets as of late, doing his part to calm the chaos. So, when he spots a group of aliens harassing someone, he naturally steps in to help.]

[Well, not so much step in as shoot himself in the head and let Messiah step in instead. Step in with a God's Hand to the one closest behind her. Meanwhile, he tried to get the rest of the group's attention.]

Touch her and I'll make sure you won't live to see the black hole. Back off.

Re: Open lookingforabeat January 11 2012, 00:32:40 UTC

[The aliens look back at Minato when his Persona steps in. They had already drawn his attention at the gun shot. Seeing how one of their guys was taken down without much fuss, they decide to gather up and leave.]

[Rhyme watches, still shaken a bit, her hands white as she clutches the pendant tightly.]

Re: Open apathetic_seal January 11 2012, 03:46:51 UTC

[That's right. Run. That's what he thought.]

[Once that was over, he goes to check on the one they were harassing.]

Are you okay?
