July Arrivals

WHO: Arrivals
WHERE: The fountain park
WHEN: July 1, 12:00 PM
OPEN TO: ALL
WARNINGS: N/A
STATUS: CLOSED


In the snug circle of an old park, a fountain sits burbling beneath a broad, midday sky.

Once-neat paving stones have buckled and cracked from the slow nudge of wayward roots. Benches stand covered in lichen and rust. Three paths push into the underbrush like the spokes on a wheel, the encroaching forest creating lush tunnels through the dark.

But the fountain stands singular and pristine, brightly splashing in open rebellion of the deep, muffled sounds of a place long ago gone to seed. A vibration hums through the ground, there and quickly gone, and the water in the fountain trembles, lapping against the high walls of its cool, pale reservoir.

It is the first of July.

It is precisely twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Emma truly didn't know how she got herself into these situations really. She was way smarter than this, and obviously not showing it at the moment, for goodness sake. She glared at the two man, considering her options, because there were always options. She just had to be smart about it and think it out.

She leaned back into Frank, using the momentum to allow her to kick both of her feet up, trying to make contact with Cougar.

"You are assuming I'm a lady."

Cougar raises a brow as he ducks quickly out of range of a swing, plenty used to angry swinging to know how to at least duck the worst of it. Raising his brow at his other companion, he mutters, "mirar bastante propio de una dama para mí," under his breath.

Doesn't mean she isn't dangerous. He knows that much, thanks to Aisha and all of Clay's very angry past ex's, but still, it doesn't change that she's here and might have answers. "Not an answer," is what he grunts.

Frank makes a low noise in protest and plants his feet against the not inconsiderable weight thrown back into him. Not that he doesn't see what she's doing (and that it's smart, a sign of training maybe), but seeing doesn't mean he can do much about it aside from make a pretty good springboard.

Instead he just struggles to hold on to her and tries to use the shift in position to hook the crook of an elbow under her chin, chokehold style but notably without the choking - at least not yet.

"Lady or not, you want to stay conscious, tell us who's in charge around here."

"No Shit," She spits out at Cougar. She anticipated that there would be some sort of retribution for her actions. She may be blonde, but as the joke goes, she's not that blonde. She grunted as she was shifted, rolling her eyes, because she would never let them see her sweat.

"How will you get answers if I'm unconscious?"

Amused, Cougar shoots the other man a cocked raise of his eyebrow with a shrug. "She has a point," is all he says evenly, loosening his hold on the sleeve of her scrubs just a little seeing as he's beginning to think that whatever information she might have won't be much more than they're working with.

He doesn't let her go yet, though. Frank might have a good hold on her, but Cougar is either good with his long-range or his very close at hand combat. He's aiming to give himself an advantage.

"Doesn't seem like I'm getting a whole lot of answers either way," Frank parries back to his partner in crime. Just saying. But yeah, all right, she may have a point. They can't stand out here in the hall with her all day either, that's for sure, and he doesn't know enough about her to just knock her out and move on. Maybe she really is just another civilian.

A sigh. "All right." The arm under her chin starts to loosen, only a tentative few millimeters at first, but it's a break in the tension all the same. "You think you can clear up a few things without kicking either of us in the face, we'll give you some breathing room, how about that?" he proposes with a glance to Cougar, careful to keep in sync with the other man. So long as Emma doesn't renew hostilities, though, he'll begrudgingly loosen his grip the rest of the way, letting his arms drop to his sides again.
