"E-exuse me....Do you happen to know who was killed. Or what even happened?" Jenna turned around. "Oh, no. I don't. I'm trying to get information, though." Captiosus wondered off, scheming in his head. Perhaps he could quickly run to the body and knick the man's wallet, look for identification...but he wasn't swift enough to do that, and he'd probably get in trouble. Instead, he paced around, overhearing bits of conversation. "I heard he was murdered last night..." "...probably some worthless sod, good riddance to him."
The police hadn't even found anything yet. They didn't even know if it was connected to the gunshots heard earlier this morning. Well, thought Capt, at least it's some information.

The police were trying as best they could to shoo the crowd of on-looker's and their daemons away from the body while they examined it.
"Mabye it was an assasination Someone said, slightly afraid Just forget about it, the police will figure it out soon enough Another person added nonchallantly.
Lindy tugged at her braid nervously. What if someone was going around and killing certain people. What if she was next? Stop worrying yourself, that wouldn't happen Beauet reasured his daemian mentally. I guess not....
"Oh, no. I don't. I'm trying to get information, though." Lindy looked up at the girl, breaking her mental talk with her daemon. "I'm sure we can get some information from the police soon...." Lindy smiled at her.
Strange, it seemed like most of the older teenagers(They are only about two or three years older then you, they aren't that old Beauet interupted, briefly) from the park came here. She guessed that they all must've heard it also.

By the time Metrean was able to make his way to where he believed the gunshot originated from, there was already a crowd.
There were police, too.
Absentmindedly, he fingered the sword at his belt.
Best not to let anyone see you touching it, his dæmon thought to him.
Immediately upon realizing he was there, the crowd began to spread apart around him, not wishing to be any closer than they had to be.
He listened to the people talking quietly to one another, all speaking about what had just happened.
Swiftly, he began to work his way to the front of the crowd.

Katherine stroked Aluben's head and muttered 'Interesting.. ' she sighed and turned to Tobias, not saying much, just seeing what he thought of the whole ordeal. She took her glasses off, and tried to dry the rain off, so she could see better.
Aluben sighed and flew off again, and Katherine winced once, and only once. She surveyed the scene again, and looked at the wounds on the body. She didn't know much about wounds of any kind, but she thought that the man could have been saved, had help come earlier.
Aluben's voice sounded in her ear, far off nothing we could do, wven if we had gotten here sooner.. Katherein nodded and sighed, and waited for her dæmon to return from where ever he had gone.

Adrienne had blacked out. When she awoke there was a crowd of teens gathered around looking at something...
"Adi, get up." Haelphaesus nudged her arm and helped rise to her feet. She looked down at herself and realized that the rain had washed blood onto her body and clothes... but from where?
Suddenly, it hit her. That young man...
"He must be dead!" she whispered to Hael. "And..."
"Shhh," hei whispered back. "You mustn't let anyone know that you saw anything... Wei were never supposed to leave your room...."
"I know," Adrienne replied, brushing away stray strands of her wet hair from her pale face. "But surely someone knows something about what happened."
She made her way towards the back of the crowd, being careful to try to stay out of the view of the policemen that could possibly see her bloody shirt and take her to the police station for questioning. Then her mother would know that she had defied her wishes and left the apartment, even though she was grounded.
Adi listened carefully to see if she could overhear an informative conversation, but only picked up useless bits and chunks of gossip...
"I heard he was murdered last night..." "Maybe it was an assasination..." ...the police will figure it out soon enough.
"OH FOR GOD'S SAKE! CLEAR OUT OF HERE YOU STREET VERMIN! THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE!!" Adi turned to see who dared to shout that comment at the group of dangerous looking teens. One, she observed, was wearing a sword; another with a blue dragon dæmon. Finally, she spotted the man, who was waving his fist at the teens and a chord of familiarity was struck in her mind.. that gruff, angry man... he was the one who was shooting at the teen!
HAEL! Adi screamed in her mind to her dæmon. THAT MAN WAS THE ONE WHO KILLED THAT BOY!
Then say something; get everyone's attention to him.
Adrienne took a deep breath and screamed, "STOP HIM!!! HE'S THE MURDERER!!!!"

Before Metrean could even see what was going on, he heard a shout.
"STOP HIM!!! HE'S THE MURDERER!!!!"
Immediately he turned to see who this so-called 'murderer' was.
So, wanna be a hero? his dæmon thought to him, Could mean rewards.
Sure, why not?
He drew the sword and turned to face the one specified.

OOC: Heh, whoo. I'm a little ... confused. I posted earlier today, but Larrness pointed out to me that my character might be the one Tobias ran into. Cat dæmon, you see. So I deleted my post, until I was sure, and in an incredible feat of idiocy I accidentally deleted my introduction post as well. x__X I am SO out of it today. And I need some clarification. What's going on, exactly?

Capt turned into a lion and charged, knocking the alleged murder down, before the other person could strike with his sword. It was one thing for a human to touch a daemon but another for a daemon to touch a human--they were both pretty rare but the latter was more accpetable. The murderer's leg was injured, perhaps even broken, and Capt leapt off him. Jenna stared. Captiosus was rarely that violent, and if he was doing something like, say, charing a murderer, it was very unlikely that he would actually catch him. Capt...what was that?! I don't know. I was bored. I wanted to do something for once. He said, animal-shrugging.

(OOC: I'm not exactly sure myself, but I'm just goin' with the flow.)
Immediately upon the man's being knocked down, Metrean took advantage and pointed the sword to the man's neck.
"Lie still. Any false move and you won't be able to wish you hadn't moved."
This action astonished the onlookers.
The only problem was, neither Metrean nor his dæmon was watching the man's hand.

Katherine stepped on the man's hands, and glared down at him. She watched Aluben attempt to pin down the man's dæmon. The two started fighting, and Katherine leaned on his one hand, and muttered 'call your dæmon off..' she leaned harder, the heel almost breaking his hand, and he cries out in pain, teh dæmon yelping, and turning to growl at Katherine

Adrienne watched in amazement at how fast the crowd reacted to her shouts. Teens pummled the man while their dæmon's attacked his own. The police frantically tried to stop the brutal assault, but to no avail.
Ok, he's been rendered street justice. Now lets get outta here before you draw any attention to yourself. Haelphaesus thought to his dæmien.
Adi nodded in agreement and quietly slipped away from the fray.

Thom was outside, as usual, but today was a soggy, drizzly day that didn't do much for his spirits. Though the fact that there were few people about eased his mind. He didn't like being in crowds too much, but compared to being at home, he'd take the crowds. Salix, his 'starburst' dragon daemon, 10 feet tall on her hind legs, walked on all fours beside him, one wing outstretched to keep the rain off of her human. Salix didn't mind the rain. It simply beaded and slipped off of her hide, but she knew human's skin didn't do the same, and wet clothes caused discomfort. Though she felt akward walking along like this, but they liked the outdoors. Much better than inside, no matter what the weather was like. The pair was in a particularly muddy alley when a gunshot sounded. A bit too close for comfort. But Thom was curious by nature, and wanted to know what happened. He edged closer to the corner that, around which was the street which the shot had sounded. Peering around it, he saw two bodies. The closer one was alive, because her wolf daemon was still at her side, though she seemed unconsious. The more distant body was dead. Unless this person's daemon was very small and burried in thier clothes. But there was blood everywhere. It flowed down the street and seeped into the unconsious girl's clothing. ((OOC: Okibi, you said in the reverse-rolls section that you dreamed that Tobias has a friend who matches my counterpart's description, which surprised me a bit in any case. Even if your Thom and my Thom aren't the same person (which seems unlikely...), I'm going to pretend they are. So, unless there is some unwritten RPG rule that says that the characters aren't supposed to know each other before-hand, then I think Tobias and Thom know each other... )) Thom waited and watched the man with the gun hide near-by. He didn't know why the man remained at the scene. Surely he would be caught. Soon the street was crowded wiht people. Thom first noticed his friend, Tobias. The rest seemed to come from the same direction. Thom also noticed a small blue dragon daemon. Salix was even more interested in this cat-sized creature. Dragon daemons were uncommon, people generally don't see one every day. Both human and daemon exchanged glances. 'we should meet them' Salix said softly, in a low rumble 'Yes, we should. They are like us.' Thom replied, turning his eyes back to the blue form. Salix folded her wing up, knowing her human was about to walk into this crowd of people to see what exactly was happening. As they strode out, there was a commotion. The unconsious girl had come-to and had pointed out the killer, who had re-appeared. A boy now stood over him with a sword dwawn, prepaired to dice him if he made a wrong move. Though, it would be hard for him to fight from the ground, which he had crashed into after a lion daemon knocked him down. Which was also a sight you didn't see every day. Thom made another note to introduce himself to the lion's human. The boy paused a few feet behind the crowd. No one had noticed him yet, but he didn't mind. He now had a commanding air (is that right?) about him. He wanted answers, and if Tobias didn't know, someone else would.

Captiosus turned back into an American eskimo dog, stretched and yawn. "You want to stay? 'cuz I'm done." He said. "I did my part, and I don't want to get that caught up in this mess." "Hmm..." Jenna said. She didn't know whether to go or to stay. She was getting tired, the weather making her gloomy, and she didn't like getting caught up in crowds and action. "I don't know, let's...get away, but not too far away, in case something else happens."
