Interacting with: Cremwise


Well everyone decided that it was time to pack up, and head to the Orc camp, leaving Cremwise behind, not giving him any further thought. Well if nobody else was going to do anything with him, looks like dealing with the swindler merchant would be up to her. She walked up behind the man and wrapped and arm around his shoulders, leaving her forearm dangling. His shoulders stiffened up and he slowly turned to face her. He knew he had no allies in this situation and no way out. If somebody turned into a massive snake and slowly squeezed the life out of him, no members of either group would bat an eyelash, and some might even cheer that snake on.

"Sh sh sh shhhhh," Cyne cooed in the old man's ear, "you don't have to worry your pretty little head. I hold no grudge against you even though you've made me use up 2 of my shapechanges today and ruined just about everyone's day. It's not really nature's way, revenge. I don't even have any rope on me, so I can't exactly bind you in that sort of fashion. Although I do have other ways. Hopefully I won't have to use them. Now let's get along, okay? No funny business ♥." Cyne pulled Cremwise in even tighter and followed along with the rest of the group, Cremwise looking on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

I've not yet had my morning tea.

I was Thinking of this. Of which would also possibly help, but not my liver.

"How do y-" Mali started to ask, but then stopped herself mid-sentence so she could get around to answering the kid's question,"There's a bunch of police fucking up the apartment above me. On top of that I've been jumped, my apartment's been broken into and browsed through and two people in my apartment complex have died in the past 24 hours. Although I'm sure you've heard about Danica and Lyle since those stories are all over the news. Look, I just need to be somewhere that's not here, at least for tonight."

The fact that he knew her name even though she never told him and that he knew it was her calling brought up a lot of questions she hadn't considered before, but did she really want to know the answers to those questions at the very moment? No, not really. And knowing Justice and her luck therein, they'd probably lead to a whole bunch of bullshit that she didn't feel like dealing with. She already had enough to deal with, and having more of that when she was calling the kid to not have to deal with it (if even for the duration of a phone call) would be both ironic and aggravating. For now she would just see what he could do.

"That's all, huh? Well maybe next time one of you will know to 保持它在你的裤子 so we don't end up in this here kind of plight again." Lionel stood back and watched Jackson try to lift the horse carcass off of the boy's body to no avail. Nothing in that situation was a likely to change unless some other sap came by to help him and the boy pinned underneath. Lionel looked around and saw that the only other ones around that could potentially help were Gideon and Carlisle. The former needed to be working on the ship so they could leave this gorram planet already, and honestly, he had no idea how much help the pilot girl would even be with lifting something as heavy as a horse's dead body.

Lionel sighed, discarded his jacket coat to the side and rolled up his sleeves. Might as well help out the poor sods, lest one of them decides to do something stupid. He moved to a spot the looked like it would be relatively easy to get ahold of and crouched down shoving his hands in between the dead flesh and the hard ground. Ew, there was horse sweat there.

[color=9C6F6F]"Alright, on my count of three, we're all going to try lifting this thing at once. Ain't gonna get nothing accomplished acting on impulse like a house full of beheaded chickens. You cocksuckers ready? 3... 2... 1!" Lionel was getting on in years, and he was never all that strong, but hopefully a bit of direction and the extra set of hands would be enough to resolve the issue.

The bear that was Cyneburg stretched its back a bit before stepping forward, transforming back into the Half-Orc form more commonly associated with being a person. She wasn't wielding her walking stick/axe in any sort of threatening manner, simply firmly grasping it towards its center. She didn't know how much the orcs knew about the group, and her by extension, but hey if they were going to be hanging around for the time being, it would be best to break the news of her shapeshifty nature early, right? Assuming mass chaos didn't break out, she'd go on to talk for the first time in several hours.

"If this issue with the undead is indeed true, as it seems to be, it could have ramifications far beyond the two settlements in the area. Regardless of Mr. Cremwise's intentions and his place in the larger picture, I think it would be best to restrain him and keep him around where we can see him. I recommend gagging and restricting his arm movements with something like a set of handcuffs. There's been some odd things surrounding him that don't match up with how things were going the past couple of days. I think there might be magic involved. If'n he's a mage of some sort, stopping him from being able to speak or make arcane gestures or what not would be a good idea." Cyne covered her mouth and yawned. "Whatever you guys decide to do with him, decide quick, I'm hungrier than locust swarm during harvest season."
Eh, I might not join after all. I might just not be feeling it right now, but I'd rather not drag everyone else down. I can always joing later. Probably.

So much for packing. Really, Mali was just done with Justice and its bullshit today. She the rational part of her brain said that police going into Lyle's apartment to investigate made sense. He'd just been murdered earlier today. But really at this point did it even matter why?

Mali walked over the the fridge and popped out a meal, sat herself down on her small couch that she bought from a friend of a friend's garage sale before moving to Justice, placing her right ankle on top of her left leg. The sofa was worn down, threadbare in a couple places and covered top-to-bottom with this weird bookcase pattern with toy horses on it too for some reason. It wasn't an amazing piece of furniture, but it did fold out into a bed, so she figured that if she ever had any guests over she would at least have a place for them to sleep that wasn't the floor or a cheap air mattress she bought from Target. She busted out her phone and dialed in Relic's number.

Really, she had no clue what he could even possibly do to help in this situation, or even if any help would only make the situation worse, given the number of police here and how on-edge they seemed to be. But at the very least she would probably have somebody to bitch to.
My five letter word's going to be THROW.

Sorry, I might have to overdo the CS to feel satisfied with it.

There were a lot of things here that didn't really add up. Okay, even though "a lot" was just established in the last sentence, it was only really one big thing that didn't really add up in this situation, and it was Cremwise. Nothing he did seemed to make sense. If he was going to transport the wagon's goods to the orcs, why did he need to hire guards in the first place? Well maybe to protect from the supposed undead and keep up appearances for the humans.

But then why did he seem relieved when more and more outsiders showed up to travel with a larger group for safety reasons? She'd think that he'd have a pretty big heaping of suspicion and concern about all the strangers. They weren't necessarily bound to do what you told them like hired help was. And a wrong move would be likely to expose the whole charade early. Really he was lucky that nobody here was just a thief out to rob him blind.

If the orcs already knew who he was and that he was an inside man, why did a whole bunch of orcs attack the group last morning? They (the orcs) certainly weren't an inexperienced bunch. Seems more like a group that you would send to eliminate a known threat. Maybe they were trying to kill everyone and become the new guards for the caravan? If that was the case, she might have a few choice words for Cremwise after Keystone got through with him. But if they were going to pull a stunt like that, why wait until morning when everyone was awake rather than ambushing during the night? Sure there was a watch the entire night, but the readiness of the group would probably be much lower than it was during the actual battle.

And lastly, why was Cremwise lying like a desperate merchant trying to salvage enough money to feed him family? He wasn't just lying to Kyra and Keystone, but to the orcs as well. Blatant, flagrant falsehoods thrown out... to what purpose? It just didn't add up. Argh, so many questions; no way to vocalize them. Even if she didn't have bear-mouth, Cyne doubted her ability to get a word in given the conversational imbroglio that was currently going on. She'd just have to remember to ask them later, if she ever got the chance.
