Evil Dead

*The nurse eventually comes back.*

<Apparently, that's more-or-less true. The police say they attacked the priest & his assistant.>
===========================
*Senthose has 1 more arm, so he stops the kick. He then does his best to knock them both over, with Grimm hopefully going first. Since Stefan is in Lilith's way, he gets punched in the face instead. In a blind rage, she also aims a knee up into him & tries to throw him to the ground while yelling incoherently. By now, the crowd has muttered "What's going on? Should we do something?" several times.*

T"(I wouldn't mind joining them, but I think it's prudent we get them out of here. I doubt fighting them will help us.)"

Assuming they have both toppled over like the brawling losers they are, Grimm took his arm off of Senthose's legs and tried to use his weight and strength advantage to get on top of his abdomen while getting a hold of his arms.
Stefan recoiled and cried out after the blow to the face, dropped into a half-squat and launched himself shoulder first at Lilith's midsection while yelling back at her just as incoherently.
Astarte, feeling embarrassed as much as she was concerned, backed even further away from the scene.

Tirea:<They attacked us!>
===
Eve:<(I agree. Normally I would have called the police by now, but is it prudent to get them involved?)>

Azuma: "Like they'll listen."

===================================

Taiyo: "Can we find the others?"

T"(We have to get away from these guys somehow, first.)"

*Stefan is tossed around. Because Senthose doesn't fuck around, he grabs Grimm's gun & starts working to try to dislodge it from the holster. Meanwhile, Lilith is still intent on smashing Grimm upside the head.*
============================
Doctor<It's not our job to assign blame, just to get you well.>

Nurse<Is there anything you need?>

Grimm grabbed his wrist with one hand to keep the gun away and swung down at his Adam's apple with a punch from the other. Stefan tried desperately to make after Lilith and grab her by the shoulders, "Stop! Stop!"

Eve:<Agreed. Should we physically get in between them?>
===
Tirea:<A phone please.>

*With Senthose pushing on Grimm & Lilith close-lining him in the face, he misses. Once she's grabbed, Lilith elbows Stefan.*

L"Fuck off before I REALLY hurt you, altar boy!"

T"...Follow my lead!"

*Thiera takes off her backpack & runs towards Stefan, trying to hook him with said backpack so that she can pull him away.*
====================================
Nurse<There's a payphone in the hall. I can help you get to it, if you're sure you're up for it.>

Stefan tried to hold onto Lilith for as long as he could while Grimm leaned in closer and hooked his free arm around Senthose's elbow of the arm already held at the wrist, before trying to break it by jerking both joints in the wrong direction.

Azuma: "I can manage on my own."

===================================

Taiyo tries to pull Stefan away. She just wants to see Euryale. Why does she have to be associated with violent hooligans?

Tirea:<I asked first I get the phone first.>

*So she gets up and hobbles over to it*
===
*Eve attempts to pull Stefan away as well*

*Stefan is pulled away, allowing Lilith to help Senthose. She grabs his arm & pulls it away from Senthose's elbow, also getting him in a choke hold, & Senthose punches him hard in the solar plexus. This allows them to shove him off. The gun falls onto the ground, at which point the crowd starts running.*

T"Now let's go!"

S"We have to get that thing away from him, or at least take that kid as a human shield!"
===============================
*The nurse helps Tirea over to the phone. Aside from weakness, she has fewer problems with walking than Azuma would, but reaching for things hurts her upper back/shoulder area.*

Grimm dropped his center of gravity and shoulder-threw Lilith right over onto Senthose then went for the gun, clashing into Astarte who had gone in for it moments beforehand. Stefan thrashed like a fish-out-of-water trying to break away from the pencil-necked nerds restraining him.

*Tirea thinks about it for a moment then calls Euryale*
===
*Eve tries to follow Thiera's directions while keeping a hold of Stefan*

Having reason enough to be paranoid about the medical staff, uses the wall or whatever to support him. You'd think his legs were broke or something with the trouble he's apparently having.

Doctor<Are you SURE you don't want any help, boy?>

*The nurse continues supporting Tirea, who hears an annoying ass tone.*

<The number you have dialed is not in service!>
================================
T"How do we get rid of this kid?!"

S"Follow your sister's lead!"

T"Like this?"

*Thiera tries a choke hold, but not having resorted to violence before, she's probably just giving Stefan the first hug he ever got from a girl who wasn't related to him. While Lilith is on top of him, Senthose grabs the first thing he can out of her backpack, which happens to be her flashlight. Whenever she gets the chance, she scrambles for the gun.*

Astarte managed to get the gun in hand and try shooting Grimm in the face, but not having released the safety all she did was look foolish before he grabbed it and backhanded her hard enough that she went down like a rag doll. Stefan threw an elbow into Thiera's stomach, probably harder than anybody ever hit her before.
"I'm not going to shoot you," Grimm said, raising the gun above his head and backing away from Lilith. "Get away from me."

*Tirea then tries to call Eve*
===
*Eve grabs a hold of Stefan's arms and holds them behind his back*

<Put the gun down and we'll talk.>

Azuma: "Yeah."

===================================

Taiyo goes to support Thiera, this day getting worse and worse.

*Thiera needs the support, as she is currently on her knees, gasping for air & holding her stomach.*

S"Just go. Head off into the nearest alley & keep running."

*He pushes Lilith in that general direction, glaring at Grimm.*

S"You should be careful with that thing. I don't think you need a reputation for shooting college students, & it could have ended up in the hands of someone...unscrupulous."
=============================
*It's not my imaginary phone, so I don't know what it does.*

"My reputation is irrelevant, it is my purpose to save the innocent from the darkness pervading Pforzheim," Grimm released the safety and took a further step back, then looked pointedly at Eve. "And you're in no position to be making commands. Release the boy, and tell me what you and your friends want with my church."

Eve:<All we've ever wanted: answers.>

*With that she releases Stefan and takes several steps back, then helps Taiyo with Thiera while fumbling for her phone*

Eve:{Hello?}

Tirea:{Eve, thank god you picked up!}

*Eve looks excitedly at the others*

<(It's Tirea!)>

S"You idiots! Why didn't you keep him as a human shield?! And why are you just standing there?!"

*Senthose's yelling inspires Thiera to pull herself to her feet & run with Taiyo to the alley.*
=====================================
Doctor<We can help you to another phone if you want, Mr. Haruka.>

Grimm shot Senthose in the kneecap, then aimed at Eve, "Drop the phone!"
Stefan started running back to the church by himself, while Astarte stayed on the ground while her arms over her head in a shaking heap.

Azuma: "I can wait."

===================================

Taiyo runs like her life depends on it. Because it does.
