Freeing the Bird

[piwakawaka]

The shortcut through the Dreaming leaves them close to many warehouses and the water in Kaiwharawhara but only one has a palpable feel of magic and about ten young men simply hanging about.

As everyone starts to appear, a few of the men pull out various objects to focus as the magic grows in the air as the others who are a bit too pale just grin.

Teams: 1-Alex, Aiden, the Baron, Hamlet
2-Carl, Ben, James, Peron

Starting things off again and I'm just going to do the James' thread later and make it work.

A laugh can be heard behind the car and Ben just clears the fire which leaves as soon he clears it though appears again near his head and arms.

To hell with this.

He takes off his hat, beating back the flames near his head, and runs toward the sound, fire white-hot on his heels.

"Keep laughin', you son of a bitch."

His sleeve is smoking but he doesn't care; he's rounding the car, leading with his Colt, and he fires as soon as he spies the would-be magician.

He wasn't supposed to do that and the apprentice yells and calls fire once more as he tries to roll under the car.

Ben's hat is ablaze, and he throws it to the ground.

"Motherfucker -- "

He squeezes the trigger, hitting the man in the shin; bone splinters and the apprentice screams.

Stone-faced, Ben squats and fires another round into the man's temple.

A Boom rocks the air and the ground shaking the car as there's the sound of metal creaking and a muffled yell from the back of the warehouse.

Ben turns, sharp and swift.

And then he's running toward the explosion, because Miss Tiwa's in there -- and Benton may need another gunhand.

If he didn't get caught in the blast, that is.

The back of the warehouse is full of smoke and chaos as just within the Mage and Carl argue.

(OOC: If you want to move into that thread, go for it.)

Ben dashes around the side of the warehouse, diving into a roll when a whirlwind of icy air clips his shoulder.

"The hell's this -- "

The mini-twister makes for him again, and he catches a flash of movement from the corner of his eye; he turns and fires, hearing a strangled cry.

The funnel disappears and he picks himself up, double-checks his Colt, and hurries as fast as possible around the building, listening.

[ ooc: and! fiiii! should ben tag into the carl-mage subthread to help out? just lemme know if that's a good idea or a terrible one! ]

Re: Second Team

[piwakawaka]

(OOC: Question that I just realized now. The blast happened at the back of the warehouse so is Ben just running straight through it or around the back?)

[ ooc: AUGH FI TOTAL LJ NOTIF FAIL! arrrrgh, sweetheart, m'so sorry this is so belated! work and traveling has kept me away from AIM for ZOMG SO LONG. *passes you so much chocolate*

ben'll be running *around* the back, and i can hit that mage-carl argument with ben running and dispatching a couple of more problems as he zooms toward 'em, and i can either give that tag *here* a link up to the mage-carl subthread, or continue mage-carl-ben here! does that make sense? and which works best for you, sweetheart? ]
