Okay, you've got my attention.

Jane rounded the corner just as the Lords fled. Jane didn't seem to care very much that they were getting away. Instead, he decided to take this as a victory. "THAT'S RIGHT! YOU'D BETTER RUN!" he screeched, waving his fist in the air. "Come after me again and you'll get worse than that! Your butt and my foot have an appointment at your earliest convenience, maggot!"

After a moment, Jane glanced around and saw the newcomer. "Ah. Major, sir!" he remarked, giving him a quick salute. "Good to have you with us. I don't know who this Lord of Lies person is but I do know he's kidnapped one of our friends. Speaking of which, I'm gonna take a look around. Somebody get the Major up to speed!"

With that, Jane turned on his heel and clomped off into the fashion store where Junko had vanished. If he noticed the giant grinning ink demon, he didn't say anything.

Overreach had been fairly quiet up to this point, waiting to see how the newcomer would be received. He was visibly a little surprised when to see a winged boy swooping down out of nowhere, but then again, considering his own Gift, he wasn't exactly in a position to judge. So he didn't. Instead, he smiled what he hoped was a charming smile and gave the winged boy a curt nod. "Man, they're just comin' out of the woodwork, aren't they?" he muttered to himself.

Once the idea of heading inside was floated, though, Overreach realized the danger had passed. These people weren't going to start throwing fireballs at each other any time soon, and he could relax a little. "Well, hey, so it does," he remarked, glancing over to the house in question. "Hey, I'm gonna head inside, take a little look around, if it's all the same to you. Don't mind me, folks."

Overreach chuckled softly to himself as he rolled forward, weaving through the small group, before eventually ending up in front of the house. He looked down at the three steps leading up to the porch for a moment, pursed his lips and sighed softly through his nose. After a moment, he glanced over his shoulder, turned himself around 90 degrees and began to roll through the overgrown grass around the side of the house. "I'll just, uh... go see if there's a back door. Yeah. Meet you inside, folks."

Jane let out some horrible noise halfway between a joyous whoop and a bloodcurdling scream. He leapt into the air and swung his blade at the sky. His gambit had worked somehow, and he was completely oblivious to how stupid it was and how lucky he'd just been. Of course, none of that prevented him from "AAAARRRRH! I AM THE GREATEST WARRIOR TO EVER LIVE! I AM GOING TO ROCKET JUMP TO HEAVEN AND SLAP SUN TZU IN HIS DUMB SOUL PATCH BECAUSE I-- HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" Jane suddenly sheathed his sword and took off after the Lord of Lies. He wasn't very fast, but now that his sword was put away, slicked with the lifegrease of his enemies, nothing was preventing him from pulling out his rocket launcher again.

"YOU GET BACK HERE!" Jane bellowed. "I AM NOT DONE KILLING YOU YET!"

With that, Jane loaded a rocket into his launcher and opened, aiming to shoot the Lord of Lies in the back with a goddamn rocket launcher.

I'm alright with that, myself.

Jane decided not to risk it. He stared up at the Lord of Lies, watching him swoop down closer to him, when suddenly he was gripped by an idea. He inhaled sharply through his nose, and then grinned a wicked grin. "Ohhhh, if this works..." He adjusted his grip on his katana, letting the black ooze drip down the length of the blade, and waited for the Lord of Lies to swoop down.

Then, at the last possible moment, he sidestepped the blow, swung his katana thorugh the air with a loud, obvious whoosh and swung the blade up. But strangely, and almost uncharacteristically for him, he didn't aim for the Lord of Lies -- he aimed for the bag. More specifically, he aimed for the bag's straps, attempting to cleave clean through them.

Jane grinned a wicked grin and begins to reload his shotgun. "Outstanding! Now why don't you let th--"

Suddenly, the tentacle lashed out and wrapped around Jane's arm. Jane grunted loudly in pain and dropped his shotgun, sending it clattering to the ground and firing in a random direction as it hit the rough concrete, because guns are dangerous, kids. Anyway, Jane attempted to wrench his arm away from the horrid creation, but to no avail. Without thinking, he reached down to his waist, drew his sword and swung it down at the tentacle, not so much attempting to slice it as chop it.

Jane skidded to a stop and lowered his weapon, staring at the store go up in flames. He looked over at his weapon, then back to the collapsing rubble of the store, then briefly at the Lord of Lies, then back to his weapon. "...Huh," he remarked, suddenly slowing down a little. "That has literally never happened to me before." Jane sniffed, shrugged, and then continued growling at the Lord of Lies. "And what the hell are you talking about, bow-tie? The kid is on my side! You cannot hurt your friends with Mann Co. weaponry! That is just basic science!"

After a moment, Jane shrugged and put away his rocket launcher. "Oh well. Anyway, thank you for confirming you've got the girl," he sneered. Without another word, he sprinted out of the way of the growing whip, leveled his shotgun at the Lord of Lies and fired. He managed to get four shots off before he had to reload.

Overreach squinted up at the sky for a moment, considering this. Obviously, having a Pyromancer on your side was handy if there was trouble afoot. If he was going to go with these people, he could gain some valuable protection. And that was always welcome. "Especially since I lost my gun," he thought to himself. "Wait, no, Dawn just said she can read minds. And Eira just did that thing with the wheelchair, so she might be able to as well. Uh... shit. Hey, uh, could you two pretend you didn't hear that? Thank you."

Anyway, now that he was thinking about it, there didn't really seem to be a downside to this situation. If they were gonna knock him out and steal his stuff, they would've done it by now. So yeah, he could probably get to the next town safe with these folks' help. It was a risk, but he felt like he could handle it.

Overreach grinned and leaned back, draping one arm casually over the back of his chair and smiling at the assembling group. "Yeah, why not?" he said casually. "I could use the company." "And the protection. Aw, dammit!" "Plus, if there's more of us, we can keep to the streets, save a little time. Strength in numbers, and all that. Blasting one person and taking their stuff's fairly simple, I've heard, but four at once is a little tougher. I mean--"

Overreach stopped in the middle of his sentence, suddenly glancing around looking for the newcomer Dawn had mentioned. "...huh," he muttered to himself, sincerely hoping he hadn't just put his foot in his mouth.
