Things went downhill [i]fast[/i]. While he had been formulating a counter-argument to Vera's tirade, the Half-Demon's minion hopped up in front of him and told him to keep away. To this, Ascot's own answer was: "I am sorry, but I don't think [i]you[/i] should be here either, by the same token. I am sure that you have some hidden power that can prove my undoing, but I am willing to risk it because I need to get back to safety along with Andras." He then jumped back a little, and drew his sword. "So please, we've been pretty lenient, but [i]leave off[/i]. And don't think I haven't noticed Andras' attempted kidnapping out of the corner of my eye!"

Activating his single copy of Michael's Body Art (Strength), Ascot lashed out at Darla, a super-strong palm aimed at her stomach to knock her unconcious in one single blow; this would have worked if she was not a sapient puppet. But alas, she was, which would prevent him from turning to help Andras.

In the apartment, Alexander would pull $4000 out of his wallet and give them to Aram, saying, "Hand these over to King; this is the downpayment. There will be a further $6000 upon the completion of the job. But remember, make sure that my brother is unharmed; one hair on his head harmed and I will crack down hard on anything you do that violates even the most obscure of laws. Do you guys get what I am saying?"

He then heard the sound of a body crashing into a pile of squishy garbage, and continue: "I am going to go check up on who fell into that dumpster over there." The officer then left, walking outside the apartment to try and find Samoth, who might be fishing himself out of the trash right about now. Sighing, Alexander would then offer a hand to Samoth, before saying, "I think you need to get cleaned up. Also, I found out from Alto's driver that the kids you were rescuing were...bad kids, as far as St. Laurel's can have bad kids" 

"If so, it is plausible that they are engaged in a conspiracy against your school itself, or are being used as pawns to get at your school. So I have something else for you to do." A smile.

"If St. Laurel's own worse students are plotting against it, I want to know. I think you'd want to know either. And if they are, and it is exposed, I want their protection from actual justice taken away and they shipped off to Juvie. I'm sure that plotting against the school would lose them the Faculty's desire to cover things up, right?" Alexander's eyes glinted with reflected light as he finished with:

"Just a thought."
