"Stop, if you two are going to fight you should do it properly, no sneak attacks and no weapons or the like just fists, either subdual or knockout. Of course the loser is expected to hold no grudge." *this was how we settled things back at the clan when it came to blows. of course we were allowed practice weapons if we wished but there aren't any here.. "It would be best to get this out of your self as if you allow it to sit and fester it will only grow worse." *which with this guy... would be extremely dangerous.*
This would most likely be after the punch

The spell hit Fischer, but did nothing more than make him angrier, "Nice light show, but you'll have to do better than that you limp dick piece of drek!" At that point, Smiley had Fischer in a full nelson. Fischer tried to break free, but melee combat wasn't his forte and all he could do was struggle ineffectually.

"Stupid ass motha fucka's?" but even as those somewhat confused words spilled from her mouth, there was a glint in her eye and wry twist on her lips. In a heart beat, Mia was mixing across some classic speed metal to replace the power ballad in her ears and began to twist her mojo thru the tattooed fu dog wreathed in cherry blossom, that rested upon her hip. When the shit hit the fan, she had every intention of riding that wave!!

(OOC. Mia is casting improved reflexes F3 thru her sustaining focus.

When J fired his stunbolt, the noodle shop owner instantly ducked behind his stall. "No fighting or I call the police" says a small voice from behind the counter.

[Necrogigas]

At Yaibei's instance and the shop owner's threat, Pipebomb slumped in Smiley's grip. A wolfish sneer spread across his face and a dangerous edge entered his voice, "All right J, let's take this outside."

[Lumen]

Kuren stands dumbfounded as the fight unfolded before him.  *Really!?  We were so close from walking away from this.*  After the shopkeeper's threat he walks out of the door, heading for the nearest subway without so much as a word to anyone.

Once Kuren is far enough way that he believes he'll be outside of any blast radius he furiously composes messages to his old partner and Dt. Yurameshi.  He would have called but it being so late he'd hate to wake them.

To Saito:
Good evening Saito-kun.  I apologize for messaging you so late but it is rather urgent.  I need any information you can provide on a certain individual who refers to himself as 'Pipebomb', subtle right?  I observed him for some time and I fear he may be planning a terrorist attack.  When I saw him in a nightclub I swear I heard dynamite rolling about in his pockets and he has the look of a dangerous man.  Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  If you find that he is a national security threat then of course I will turn over all my findings.

Thank you my friend.  If I make it through the week we should meet for sake.

--------------------------------------------

To Dt. Yurameshi:
Good evening detective.  I could use your help on a case.  I need the rap sheet on a gaijin who calls himself 'Pipebomb'.  An address would also be incredibly helpful.  Thank you in advance detective I'm sure you are very busy but I believe this man could be highly dangerous.

Attached to the bottom of each message is the picture Kuren captured of Pipebomb and a short physical description.

"If you want to continue sure. But  that was the weakest spell I have I just threw at you. By  how much did you shrug it off huh? Are you sure you want to try again?" J bows to the shop owner, speaking in Japanese I am deeply sorry, I shall be leaving momentarily/color]

J casts increase reflexes on himself, through his sustaining focus. Rolls once I'm at my computer.

"ENOUGH OF THIS!" Smiley said, raising his voice, "I thought you two were professionals, this is ganger bullcrap.  J, apologize to the man, that was disrespectful to him , to you and embarassing to the rest of us.  We don't have time f this, we need to find the girl." Smiley glared at J, demanding he end this.

[Muscular_Bevar]

"Ohh, Yesss..." Mia's eyes rolled back into her head as the waves of sensation broke over her. It was like every synapse was firing at once, every corded strand of muscle vibrating like a plucked string and it felt so right!
A slight wimper spills past her lips as she manages to shake herself lucid "huhuh... h'Ok Boys. Like the kid said, we'll step it out side, go find as secluded alley, let the lads have at and first one out cold buys the first round. Then i spose we split up, one lot to sort out the evidence we have and the rest to see if we cant make a date with a stiff" 
"Or we could hold off on this little tousle, send boomtube with trenchcoat to sort out there chemical shenaningans, and we'll make tracks into finding tall dark and pulse-less and try to russle up another lead or two. Whadda ya say?"

"Wow, who'da thunk these cats could get so interesting. the twitchy kids gone and grown some stones and the psycho just makes me want to laugh when he gets his rage on. Hope this gives us time to work out which of the two will be funnest to runnest... run with... wait....what?? Did smiley say something??" As so often does, Mia's spell cause her internal monlouges to get a bit wierd and her sense of timing...

[Chrona]

"-I- disrespected him? Embarrassed all of you!? You're holding me at fault when he was the one... Fine. I had you wrong smiley. You're just like those megacorp bastards, blaming who you think it's easier to. Pipebomb, maybe I overreacted, obviously its perfectly fine to disrespect the nation you're in if people are scared of you. The Mega's taught me that too.
If I turn anything up you'll hear from me"


This situation played out far too much like the entire reason he was homeless in the first place. Using the speed of his spell he left and returned to the streets.

If anyone but Mia tries to follow I'd request a thematic invisibility but I'll roll if you must make me hydro . Summoning rolls to happen when I'm at my computer

Once alone J  lays the hair on top of a pile of twigs and leaves and drops his spells. "Dearest spirits of the animals around us, I need to call upon your superior abilities. Please help us find this women so she may be given the ending to her story that she deserves."

After carrying Pipebomb outside, still in the full nelson, Smiley spins him around and sits him down hard on whatever is closest.

"We are working together, HE was trying to accomplish our mission as best he could and move us forward towards our goal, while YOU were trying to pick a fight.  Now we need you, there is not a lot of real firepower on the team and I will bet before it is done we will need something to explode, but this petty sniping and crap is done." Smiley makes sure that Yaibei knows he is included in this last bit of scolding, "Until we get paid by the Johnson you don't have to like anyone else on the team, but you will be a professional, or I better be the first person you decide to deal with.  Once the job is done, do whatever you want."  The Amerind brings the full force of his charisma and magic to bear on his words, so they know he is dead serious....then completely turns the page.

"Since we are on the sidelines for little while anyway I am gonna get a beer, either of you want one?  S'on me." He turns his back and walks in the direction of the nearest place serving alcohol.

[Raiden]

*letting this simmer will only boil the pot over later...*"Anyway, I don't drink when on a mission. Is there a reason you seem to be in such a foul mood? other than being gently slapped on the back of the head of course. Has something upset you before tonight? I was always told that meditation can help, though in truth I prefer to work it off by doing something, anyway, I am going to have some water and try to meditate for a bit until we decide our next course." Yaibei will wait for Pipe-bomb to respond. If after a few seconds there is none forthcoming he will find a seat and rest.

[Necrogigas]

"Yeah, I don't drink once I'm on the clock either. Explosives and liquor aren't great things to combine. Besides, if I'm the heavy hitter of this merry band of misfits, I should do a bit of a supply run." Fischer pointedly ignored Yaibei's questions and walked off. He went to the nearest convenience store and bought a pack of smokes, a zippo, and some rags. After taking his purchases back to his car, he then went to different liquor stores and, in total, bought a half dozen bottles of cheap, bottom shelf vodka. Once he was back at his car, Fischer prepped molotov cocktails.

"Hoi, wait up J" Mia calls as she jogs to keep up "That sure coulda gone better, aye. Look i can give you a ride wherever your goin and hand if ya want? Wadda ya say, just gotta nip back and grab my bike s'all."

[Chrona]

"All right.. I won't say no to an extra shaman when dealing with spirits."

The summoning went okay so i wont bother adding in the teamwork dice unless anyone can really think of a reason to bother except one or so more tasks.
