New Avalon

[Hammer Sister]

"Not particularly, but I do recall one of them having a rather obvious scar over one eye; from his manner, he may have been their leader. Besides, at the time, I was more concerned with getting the Lady Mordriana to safety."

[yamikuronue]

T scowls. This guy had chased her away from two likely food spots this past fortnight -- she'd be damned if she gave up the toast. Securing her grip on the knife, she sizes him up, looking for weak spots.

[CalamityJade]

Vormir shook his head. "I don't..." He seemed to take a moment. "Your records have you as a private investigator...and I have been authorized to use and and all resources to find out who or whom may have orchestrated last nights events. We would normally ask the victim in question, but as luck would have it she is still unconscious from the attack. In the meantime, I have people hunting over the entire city for the airship and little resources to follow up the men in question themselves."

The guy smirks. "Really? You think you can just take what you want around here? I'll give you this one chance. Give it up and move out or I'll have to show you who you're messing with." T had heard some rumblings about someone trying to 'own' bits of the area from the homeless and Abandoned. Seems like Dergus was one such person. Because life wasn't hard enough. He looked almost full of holes, but something was...off. Usually he tried to just tackle her and beat her down before she could fight back...so why fight her like this now?

[yamikuronue]

T removes the toast, placing it on top of the dumpster. "I'm a lone wolf," she growls, never taking her eyes off him. "I don't do territory."

[Hammer Sister]

"The only information I have that I haven't already given is a sketch I made of the patches the men were wearing, but since the men themselves are in custody, you would surely have access to the patches themselves?"

[CalamityJade]

Vormir gave that a thought. "I'm not asking for the information that you already have. I am...concerned about the long-reach that someone would have to acquire to use an airship in such a public area. Seeing that you are already familiar with the situation as it is, there would be little that you would need to be informed to start work." Vormir pauses for a moment. "I would, however, have to ask for your discretion in this. The public is already concerned about being safe without adding farther speculation to the fire."

Dergus smirked a bit. "What's that? Think you're a wolf?" He cracked his knuckles and started walking slowly towards her. "Think that's a bit too big for your britches, little bird. How about we see how much tooth you have to all this."

[yamikuronue]

T gives a mean grin, the sort of grin that means she gets to have fun tonight, then lunges in. She's smaller, faster, and meaner than he is, she knows, but he's bigger and probably better fed, so she'll have to end this as fast as she can -- so she tries to stick her knife into his lung. You can't fight if you can't breathe.

[Hammer Sister]

So, I am getting a job out of this... and this is the GRD, so this could be quite lucrative...

"Ah, my apologies officer; of course, I'm happy to accept the job, so long as the price is right. And rest assured, I intend to be as discreet as possible about this matter; I understand the need to keep the public calm and assured of their safety."

[CalamityJade]

Vormir gave a sharp nod. "Obviously. These appear to be rather efficient and well-armed men, even if inexperienced. If you already have a sketch of the emblem, then I would start there. I would also exercise caution. There are many that would rather dislike being seen negatively here." That...seemed like an odd thing to say. Word was that the GRD were basically glorified police for the Welcomed.

Dergus smirked as she charged and went to meet her. This was REALLY weird...of course something seemed off with his shirt. He's aiming a huge swing at her as her knife hits his shirt and seems to...stop? What the hell?

[yamikuronue]

T immediately pulls back, stumbling away from him just so she can put more distance between them faster.

...the hell?!

[Hammer Sister]

Hmm... this could prove to be my biggest and most successful case yet; could even get me Welcomed. On the other hand, it could get me killed.

"I promise I intend to cause no trouble; my investigations will be conducted in the strictest confidence."

[CalamityJade]

Vormir gave a bit of a nod. "That is good to know. Well then." he stood. "I imagine you would want a portion of your fee first to start work, yes?" Man, he IS quite direct. "We'll have someone contact you for a preferred method."

He smirked at T. "What? Suddenly not all happy to be fighting?" he charges at her, taking another swing at her head. There was something off. Sure, he was slow, but he was moving a bit off. He was still pretty good at taking swings, tho.

[Hammer Sister]

He really isn't shitting around, is he?

"That is the usual arrangement, yes. Is there anything else I'll need to begin my investigations?"

[yamikuronue]

T scowls, ducking the swing -- and using the opportunity it creates to lunge in toward his armpit. Much less likely to be protected...

[CalamityJade]

Vormir took a moment of pause. "Just that this is something that need to be quickly dealt with. The longer the public goes without an answer, the more pressure that will put to make an arrest. I will be SURE that the party responsible is apprehended and processed." Well, either he's really good at playing his virtues up for people or he might be one of those 'justice' guys. Rare to get them in the police, let alone the GRD. He offers his hand to Rob. "I would only ask you also remain professional for this." Meaning he probably would frown on him doing anything...truly illegal.

There she makes some purchase, but even then the wound is shallower than she'd like. He kicks at T as he cries out in pain. "ARG! You gutterBitch!" The next time she backs away, he grabs from something from behind his back.
