"Still pretty dumb idea but at least it's better than the fight head on mumbo jumbo. But you're kind of forgetting the whole reason we set up this little get together. " I cross my arms. "This was for the seance to find out what that ghost that Jinx spoke for. But if you really truly want to go to that church...I suppose I can deal with that." I couldn't help but give a smirk then. "And I have no problem breaking the law Mikkish. Just as long as I don't get caught."
Mikkish smirked "Good." Mikkish said, happy to know his new 'friends' weren't ALL a bunch of chickenshits "For the record though, I never agreed to any seance. This meeting was to catch the killer. It was never about my book." Mikkish said, getting annoyed with everyone insisting the killings had something to do with his book. "Lets go. We can figure out how to get in when we arrive." Mikkish said as he walked out, leaving his napkin with a pizza crust and a slice with one bite taken out on the empty bed he was sitting on. He made his way to the bottom floor and out the double doors of the entrance. From there, Mikkish could see the church they were heading for. 'Glad I could convince them. This will be much easier than some scooby doo mystery. Why do chicks gotta make everything so damn complicated?' Mikkish though.
You go to the shop, you buy a goat testicle and you think that's embarassing. But then you go back to buy another one. You stand corrected: THAT's embarassing. And if you're going to put out a testicle on fire, save yourself some trouble. Just cover it with a glass. When there's no more oxigen the flame will go out. Simple. No more flying flaming testicles. Let's see what else: Prepare a shot of vodka. Take the half lemon, a pinch of salt, the shot and the testicle aside. Drink the shot, bite the lemon, lick the salt and bite the testicle. WHAT!?!? Drink the shot, bite the lemon, lick the salt and bite the testicle. That can't be right... Bite the testicle. But what if it's so bad I throw up!? Or worst: what if I like it? Ok. Ok. Just don't think about it. Don't think about it. I'm not thinking about it. I'm focused. Drink shot. Bite lemon. Lick salt. Bite testicle. OH GOD!, IT'S CHEWY. AWWW. JUST SWALLOW IT!!! FORGET CHEWING!, SWALLOW IT!!! Heh... Huh. Flip the page. Once you bite the testicle, you can spit it out. ... ...right... Place the monkey tongue and what's left of the goat testicle in the bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste, and vodka until it's submerged. Take your place in the center of the pentagram. Ignite the mixture. Call out the incantation. I call out: "Testiculus Omnipotens, Si me ad volo! Accipe me usque ad futum!" Streaks of light start materializing inside the circle, all around me. So fast, each was just a vertical blur. More and more of them. Until everything was pure white. It tasted like cotton. The whiteness, not the testicle. The white faded to reveal a city. "NEW YORK!!! HAHAHA!!! It worked!!!" I start to sing: "♫ Pam Pam Pararam ♫ ♫ Pam Pam Pararam ♫ ♫ Pam Pam Pararam ♫ ♫ Pam! ♫ ♫ Start spreading the news ♫ ♫ Pam Pam Pararam ♫ ♫ I'm leaving today ♫ ♫ I wan't to be a part of it ♫ ♫ New York, New-- ♫" I'm surprised... it's looks small. A lot smaller than I though. Not like in the movies. I was expecting a lot of skyscrapers and things... And noisier, I thought it'd be noisier. For the city that never sleeps it's awfully quiet here. Let me check my map. Maybe I'm in the small quiet side of the New York. Hmm... There's a church and, judging by the smell of grass, I bet that that's a college campus. But I don't see any of this on the map. I should ask for directions. There's a kid, scribling something on a notepad, walking to church... in the middle of the night. I guess it's never too late to be pious, not that that helps. "Hey, you with the pen, can you tell me how to get to Time Square!?"
I looked over at the man that had called out to me just before I had walked into the church, I looked at him confused and walked back down the stone steps and up to the man. "Um... like in New York? I'm sorry sir, I don't think there's a Time Square here, I have a map if you want to check it." I said crossing my arms, I felt a little uncomfortable, what if this guy was the murderer...?
Before Theos even attempted to open the door, a male exited the building. In fact, Theos turned to face the door as Mikkish exited. Taking a few seconds to gather thoughts, then proceeding to speak. "Yo, where can a fellow peer get some food around here." Remembering he has no currency due to method of obtainment was illegal and confiscated when arrested. Theos began formulating a plan on how to get some money.
I pulled out the magic map that the librarian had given to me and opened it, showing it to him, I tapped the building where the academy was and the map began to show background information about the school just below it, I thought things were a little dim, so I quickly made a small ball of light and tossed it in the air, it hung there giving us enough light to examine the map properly. "You're on the Island of Gotha, you're close to the magic academy, New York's thousands of miles away, I'm sorry." I said.
As Mikkish was walking in the direction of the church, he barely recognized the kid as Joe with only the street lights. 'Well shit, whats he doing at the church?' Mikkish thought, not wanting to hear the kid nag him about how breaking into the church was a crime 'Well at least that is one more person in case we find the murderer.' But suddenly, as Mikkish was was halfway across the lawn of the school, he saw another guy appear out of nowhere. Older, he could tell, maybe in his early 20s. He was short though. Poor bastard. And Mikkish felt truly sorry for him...because this guy was most likely...THE KILLER! "Woah hey!" Mikkish yelled, as his quick paced walk turned to a light jog which sped to a quick jog, then to a near sprint, ignoring Theos. Mikkish came up behind Will and jumped on his back, tackling him to the ground. "I got him, Joe! Beat his ass! Hes the killer!" Mikkish yelled with excitement.
Theos gained a confused expression as Mikkish not only ignored him, though proceeded to pursue a young man who he tackled upon reaching. From what he could hear from the shouts, the assaulter (Mikkish) was enthusiastic about his attack and the young man (Will) was a killer. This to say the least was interesting to Theos as he chuckled and slowly walked towards the scene. "Hell I haven't even been here an hour, this should be interesting." Were the only thoughts crossing his mind.
Leon had been taking a stroll during the evening, he couldn't find David earlier and he couldn't pick locks, so there wasn't any way to get into the room without breaking the door down, he was hoping for something more inconspicuous. He heard Mikkish yelling he walked toward the sound of his voice to find him tackling some guy and proclaiming he was the murderer, he could see his doppelganger just standing there shocked, holding a map and having a glowing orb floating in the air near him. "What the hell is going on here?" He mumbled. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "M-Mikkish get off of him! I'm not beating anyone! He's not a murderer, he's just some man that's lost, he was asking for directions to Times Square! I think he used a spell and got sent here instead!" I said, it was the only thing that made sense from his confusion he thought he was in New York, I don't think that if he were the murderer he'd use something that far fetched to try to lure a victim somewhere, so the only explanation was spell gone awry. "Now get off of him, you can't go around tackling people for no reason!" I said crossing my arms.
I'm in a what now!? I seem to be suffering from a severe case of bad goat testicle. The map was changing before my eyes. Then I get hit by truck. Wait, it's not a truck. It's a guy. Some guy just tackled me! I'm pinned. He's crazy strong. But encouraged by a few volts, he lets go of me. His hair stands up. I back away, still on the floor. "What the hell is wrong with you!?, You fucking tit!"
"Oof!" Mikkish barked in response to Will's lightning attack. It didn't hurt much, nowhere near as bad as those few times Mikkish was tazered, but it still shocked him. "Damnit! Hes gonna get away!" Mikkish said, jumping up to a crawl and on top of Will, who was still on the ground. Then, with his strength greatly improved by his physical buff magic, began punching Will. Mikkish didn't care what Joe said, this guy had to be the murderer. Joe, a mage, goes to a church and then this guy appears out of nowhere? Undeniable proof! Nevermind all evidence that this guy was probably a mage like himself. With Mikkish pinning him to the ground and continuing to wail on his face, Will was truly having a bad case of goat testicle.
"Sorry!" I said, I was referring to both of them, for the man, it was for this horrible situation, for Mikkish it was what I was about to do. My hands glowed white and the orb floating harmlessly in the air suddenly flew at Mikkish, it buried itself into his side with enough force to send him flying off of Will and a few feet away. I walked over to the man and knelt down. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you badly?" I asked examining where Mikkish had been hitting him, using pink ribbons of energy to ease the pain and seal up any cuts that might have occurred during the brutal beating. That poor man shouldn't have been subjugated to such a beating for no good reason, or for any reason at all, I felt bad for harming Mikkish, but if I had allowed him to continue beating the man he could have killed him, an innocent man.
Theos wasn't far from the scene between Mikkish, Joe and Will. Watching as the events unfolded merely shaking his head. "I sense a serious lack of communication." Was the only thing he mumbled to himself. Focusing on Joe he watches the use of magic as if locking away the information. Theos tried his best at remembering abilities of those around him, in case confrontation. Still not involving himself directly and spectating, Theos waits for them to come to resolve. Or perhaps someone resolve it for them.
This wanker's not fucking around. He looks like the hulk. I get d i z z y with the punches, can't really think straight. I go for my pistol... where the fuck's pistol. There's a flash of light. The guy goes flying. The map kid ask if I'm alright. Does something. I push him aside. Run toward the hulk. Pull my switchblade. Blade on his throat. "Tough guy, are you?" my eyes, red, my voice deeper and stronger, I'm bigger. The illusion kicks in on it's own. "I really should watch who you fuck with" my other arm on his chest, a give a nice, soft stream of electricity "Ah, ah. Don't twitch you might hurt yourself. Now, I'm not exactly in a good mood, but I'm a really nice guy so I'll give you a choice: we can be friends... or I'll let your blood into the church steeps... your call."
Silence. Apart from his huge hulk breath in my face. I calm down a bit. I let go switchblade. But it holds in position. Ready to slash in a thought. I back away. Blade still at his throat. "Hey kid," to the map kid "is he your friend or should feed him to the pigs." I look around. "And do you know where I can buy some pigs?"
I watched shocked as the man pushed me aside and then just turned into this huge hulking person, grabbing Mikkish and putting a switchblade to his throat... my eyes felt itchy when I looked at him... I rubbed them to alleviate the strange sudden itch. I looked up when he addressed me. "N-No! No pig feeding! He's a friend, he, for whatever reason, thought you were the culprit behind these two murders we came across, I'm very sorry for his actions, please set him down." I said quickly.
"So," back to the big guy, "are gonna play nice?" My voice, again, full, doubling up as if I spoke with several voices.
Martyn quietly noticed Mikkish leave the room curiously and sighed following her quietly Looking out for Rue nervously seeing that they headed to a church. He wasn't very stealthy but he tried his hardest to stay out of sight and watch what was going on. "...why are they going here?" he muttered worried. "... this is dangerous..."
I sigh heavily as Mikkish head outs of the room before I could even say a word. "Well Jinx, guess I'll go on ahead as well." I say before stepping out as well. I walk outside and towards the church. I look at the situation and laugh a bit noticing the illusion magic the guy I've never seen before uses. Seeing him with a switchblade in hand I quietly out of habit place my hands in my pockets one of my hands readily wrapping around the knife hidden inside. "Man Mikkish what did you do to piss off some random guy? Call his mother names?" I smile looking around a moment and notice Martyn around. "Oh hey there you are. Hey Martyn."
Theos notices Ruth once she speaks to Mikkish, not actually seeing her arrive. Long story short, her sudden speaking or appearance to his perception was startling. Though he showed no hint to this surprise, merely speaking in response to her question. "Seems this guy Mikkish thinks the poor guy is a killer or something of the sorts." Despite speaking to Ruth, Theos didn't stray his focus from the two. "Although if he was a killer, I feel this fight would be more interesting. Less on the pathetic side, if you catch my drift......"
Martyn froze up being noticed by Rue nervously. "h-hey Rue... w-what are you doing here?" He says worried squirming standing up worried. "...Why is everyone here?"
"Why am I here? Does it matter?" I chuckle a bit. "To be honest I was just following Mikkish. I would say to keep him out of trouble but I see he's already done that so, just because I can be. As for Joe.....I suspect probably because he got the same idea Mikkish had with the murderer possibly being connected to the church up this way. The two other guys.....well I have no idea who they even are." At that point I direct my attention towards Theos. "So he thought that guy was the killer? Hah I'm afraid to ask for what reason. You're right though. Would a mage killing psycopath really be that tame in a fight?"
Theos couldn't help from looking interested once he heard Rue speak of a mage killing psychopath. Theos didn't take lightly to the idea of someone slaughtering people, especially mages. Even more so, he enjoyed the idea of a fight against someone who was considered such a threat. Theos smiled while speaking, focusing more on Rue. "Is this guy Mikkish, the only one avidly seeking to encounter this killer?" If Theos could join those searching for the murderer, he may gain opportunity to a challenging battle. Out loud hoping that Mikkish would hear him, Theos speaks again. "Maybe if a newbie to this campus like myself was aware of the situation. I could lend a hand to stopping the threat." Theos was now focused on Mikkish awaiting his response.
But Mikkish' focus wasn't on Theos right now. His most immediate concern was this guy, Willy, who was holding a knife to his throat and speaking in multiple voices. Frustrated by Joe's light attack and Will's tiny, but annoying electric stream, Mikkish spoke up. "Ok. Sure. I can be a real nice guy...to most people actually. Here's the deal: I will let you go, but I find the killer's identity and its you, I won't be so nice. Now get the fuck off me." Mikkish said, charging his physical buff and shoving Will off of him, then turning to Theo with a grin as he started getting up "As for you...we should get along just-" Bam! A man ran up to Mikkish and his booted foot went into his jaw. He fell back to the ground as more kicks came to his sides. Mikkish was getting dizzy from the blows, but could see clearly who was hitting him: A man in a dark uniform. On his shirt was a badge, and letters on his shoulder read GCPD. It was a police officer for the city. Perhaps Mikkish should have expected this for what he did with Jinx' bike, but this was obviously police brutality. "Alright. You're all under arrest!" Came the voice of another officer, an evil smile on his face. Two more officers appeared, totaling four cops, all brandishing their batons, ready for a beat down. They had the group caught between them and the church. The students were surrounded.
