OiM - How it All Began

[Jokerman-EXE]

((Dude, you told me to kill them! You came up to me and said, "Jow, just go ahead and kill the crazies for a bit." AT SCHOOL. I HAS WITNESSES.))

Henry scoffed. "What we do doesn't matter. We're not the ones under oath to help people, now are we?" As she went back down, Henry stepped back, taking a quick breather.  

[NativeForeigner]

((Dude, no I didn't, why would I say that?))

As Henry took a breather, the woman stirred slightly, but couldn't seem to move.

Ro sighed and searched through the man's pockets and produced a wallet and some wintergreen Altoids. He pocketed the mints and opened the wallet, causing a silver coin to fly out and roll next to Arthur's foot. Ro ignored it and took what money was inside, ignoring the man's ID.
He gave the wallet back to the man and dropped the steak knife before standing.  

[Jokerman-EXE]

((HOW THE BALLS WOULD I KNOW THAT? All I know is that you told me that. Period.))

Henry laughed. "They're not so tough, huh?" he smiled, nudging Andreas chummily. ((Is that a word?))  

[NativeForeigner]

((I did not, and even if I did, that wouldn't mean take control of them.
Oh, and it is, at least according to spell check))  

[Jokerman-EXE]

((Well, if you wanted me to kill them, then what would it matter if I control them? Clearly, you don't care about them, because you want them dead.
And thank you.))  

[NativeForeigner]

((So? Just letting you kill them takes all and any fun out of it.))  

[Jokerman-EXE]

((...it's fun for me...))

Andreas slumped against a wall, panting. "I didn't say... pragmatism... was bad, doc..." he responded. "Christ, these things... are persistent. I'm... going to go check on... that other one." He shoved himself off from the wall and went back to the one that he'd tied up.  

[SirBayer]

((Oh, you two shut up. You're supposed to be friends, aren't you?))

"Hypocrite," Arthur muttered under his breath. Not at Andreas. Andreas he could stand. Henry was getting on his nerves. He bent down and took the wallet up, with the coin. He examined the ID. Perhaps someone he knew or had seen in the newspaper? He also took the time to retrieve the steak knife - his other weapons were fine and good, but this was sharp and deadly. It might even, properly cleaned, facilitate a surgery if necessary.  

[Jokerman-EXE]

((Yeah, but he's so damn stubborn that he can never see even when he's wrong.))

Henry shrugged and stood a few feet from the woman, ready to incapacitate her if she tried anything.  

[SirBayer]

((Oh, that's real nice. You do realize you're being every inch as stubborn as he is?

Although I do suppose we all do that to our friends...))  

[NativeForeigner]

((Joe, I no what I said, stop being stubborn, it's done and over with.))

If Arthur had read the paper anytime recently, he would recognize the name on the ID as someone who had only gone missing a few days ago.

Andreas found the woman still gnawing away at her shoulder, but she was still tightly secured.

Ro looked at Arthur before slumping against a wall, "We should get going..." he said.  

[SirBayer]

"Where to?" Arthur inquired cynically. "Ah, you know, best to go where this one came from," he muttered, moving straight for the stairs and the door.

((Is that steak knife in my inventory?))  

[Jokerman-EXE]

"Any suggestions on what I do with this one?" Henry called to the others. He flicked his pocket knife open menacingly.  

[NativeForeigner]

((It is))

Arthur stopped and turned around, heading for the door opposite the one on the left, the one he was heading to. The reason for this was he suddenly remembered seeing some sort of shadow enter the other door just before the attack.
