The Madness of Lord Remarque

[dante]

Lorenzo managed to sweve away from the street lamp just in time, but unfortunately for him, he drove right into the side of a nearby building immediately afterward. The entire front of the car was totaled, and smoke was rising from the hood.

The passenger door opened and out stepped Eltana. He stood motionless, eyes fixed on Rose and teeth gritted together.

[xrosechanx]

Rose backpedaled, not as fearful as before. She was walking back slowly. "You deserve it!" She yelled. "You're cruel!"

[dante]

Eltana removed his masquerade mask, revealing his girlish face. He greatly resembled a china doll, his features soft and his skin as pale as the moon. His long ebony hair cascaded down to his shoulders in graceful waves. Although his outward appearance was beautiful, the same could hardly be said for his personality.

"Cruel?" he smiled at her suspiciously. "What I am doing is for the benefit of the entire human race, my dear. If you commoners were allowed to survive in large numbers, you would multiply like rabbits and soon be extinct. Which is why I have taken it upon myself to control your population. I consider myself quite a humanitarian, really."

[xrosechanx]

Rose glared at him through tears. "You are not! You don't just kill people!" She stomped, stopping her movement. "It's not like because we're not as rich we're another race..." She clenched her tiny fists and whimpered softly, her face red.

[Chris Yuki]

Chris walked around, seeing a psycho person in a car nearly run over an old woman. Afterwards, the raging car was chasing down a girl. The girl was clearly scared, but then again, Chris would be too. This psycho man would definitely run the girl over if she didn't act soon. Running into a nearby alley, she stuck her face out just enough so she could see what was going on. This could get dangerous, the young girl would probably have to do something to get that creep away from the girl and the streets here.

Moving back into the alley, she would then stick her hand into her pocket and pull out a square of paper. Pulling a pen from her other pocket, she scribbled down a transmutation circle. Now for something to use..

Looking over at a nearby dumpster, Christina found what she was looking for. There was a good sized rock. Although Chris couldn't throw that well, she could possibly transmute it and then throw it, if she could get close to the person. Nodding at the thoughts, she slowly creeped towards the dumpster, trying to make as little noise as possible.

She picked it up, and then crept back to where she left her transmutation circle. The light from transmutation, she knew, would blow away any form of stealth. Well, it was now or never. Putting down her hands onto the circle, it glowed and the rock dissapeared. Chris quickly drew another transmutation circle and stuffed it in her pocket. She had to make this quick..

Chris ran out of the alley, charging at the guy who was in the car. Was she going crazy, or what?

Eltana smiled wickedly as she scolded him for his wicked ways while tears rolled down her bright red face. The girl might have been awful prey, but her naivety was amusing nonetheless. He took a sadistic pleasure in watching her try to come to terms with how cruel people could be.

"Such a naive little girl you are! I suppose you're just too foolish to understand," he laughed mockingly as he stepped forward.

Seeing a young woman charging at him from a nearby alley, the effeminate man came to an abrupt halt and raised his hand to her. "You want some too, huh?" he laughed, snapping his fingers. When his alchemy failed to initiate, his doll-like face drained of what little color it had. "...Lorenzo!"

His beefy assistant stepped out of the car. "What is it, my lord?"

Eltana ran over to him and cowered behind him like the spineless bastard he was. "You gave me the wrong gloves!" he shrieked at the large man. "How incompetent are you? I'm docking your pay for this! Now take care of that little bitch!"

[xrosechanx]

Rose suddenly crouched and began drawing a circle with lipstick, the only material she had on her. After a little work she placed her hands on the simple design, causing a stone spike to shoot up near Eltana. She sighed, a little panic in it as she realized she missed and stepped back quickly.

[dante]

Eltana yelped and jumped back when the stone spike shot up next to him. He was facing not one, but two alchemists, and he wasn't wearing his gloves with transmutation circles on them! And since he never payed attention when his tutor taught him how to draw the circles, he had no idea how to make one from scratch.

"Lorenzo, do something!" he yelled at the large man as he hid behind his damaged car. Looking down at his oufit, he frowned. "...Damn it all! You losers made me get soot on my new dress."

Looking a bit disheartened over having his next paycheck docked, Lorenzo began to approach Chris, cracking his knuckles. "You shouldn't mess with your betters, little lady. Now are you gonna apolgize to the nice lord for getting in his way, or am I gonna have to teach you a lesson?"

[xrosechanx]

Rose began drawing out a more complex one slowly, trying not to mess anything up, her hand shaking in fear.

[Chris Yuki]

[Sorry! I'm busied with school.. >.<]

Oh shi..

This thought passed through Chris' mind as the man came closer to her. She had to exploit her surroundings, and FAST!, before this guy got to her. Looking at the other alchemist, it seemed she was making a complex circle. Great. Cristina could waste time for that girl to get her transmutation moving, although how long could she stand against a large man like that guy?

Clenching her teeth together, she stuck her hand in her pocket, pulling out a circle rapidly. She only had somewhere around two or three left, and one of those had a different pattern on it, which didn't work with the type of alchemy she needed to perform right now.

That was it.

Maybe instead of doing her normal transmuting of things.. She could try something else. Pocketing her circle, she dug and pulled out a random other circle, hopefully it was the other type of circle. She ran back to the alley and held the circle against the wall, transmuting part of it. Brilliant blue electricity danced about as the transmutation process began. Chris thought of what to do with a large brick wall, and a smirk grew across her face as the disturbed dirt flew around in the form of a tornado.

As the air cleared, Chris coughed. Sure enough, it worked. A crack was sent up the wall next to her, and surely it would fall down within a few seconds. Chris ran further into the alley and the wall collapsed. Although, it wasn't exactly what Chris was planning for; her leg was hit by a brick and she fell on her face.

[dante]

(Sorry, too! School has been keeping my hands tied. ;_;)

Lorenzo raised a brow curiously as the young woman reached into her pocket. At first he assumed that she was pulling out a gun, but quickly dismissed the notion after reconsidering it. It would be very unbecoming for a young woman like herself to carry a firearm, and he doubted she was the kind of person who would shoot someone so easily.

"There's no need to get excited, miss," he offered her a disarming smile. "Just apologize to the good man and I'll let you run along. It's not in my nature to harm a woman, but I will if my lord commands it."

Eltana, meanwhile, was searching for something in the passenger seat of his ruined car.

When Chris ran off toward the alley, Lorenzo sighed and rubbed his temples. She just had to make this tough for him! He just wanted to get his paycheck and spend the rest of the evening with his wife, but apparently that was too much for ask. Grumbling something under his breath, he pursued the fleeing woman.

He stopped chasing her and stepped back when the wall collapsed. "Son of a gun!" he growled. "Resourceful girl, I'll give her that. Oh well, not much I can do about it now..."

Finding what he was looking for, Eltana approached Rose, smiling deviously. "There's a reason oppose rhymes with dispose, you know," he told her smoothly, pointing his pistol on her. "I was thinking about letting you go, but now that you've dared to attack me, the most beautiful man in all of Amestris, I'm afraid you've sealed your fate."

[Chris Yuki]

((Whose turn is it?))

[dante]

(Rose's, but you can post if you'd like.)

[Chris Yuki]

Chris winced as her leg hurt her. Apparently the wall slowed the man down, but it probably wouldn't completely stop him.. She needed to do something! Grabbing a pen from her pocket, she scribbled a crappy transmutation circle onto the brick on her leg and it was quickly transmuted into her head. Thinking of it, Chris went into action and stumbled to her feet, wincing all the way. Thank God she didn't break her leg.

"If you're beautiful, I don't even want to know what ugly is."

He had a gun. But that girl was in trouble, if Christina was going to die, it would be helping someone. Okay, now she needed to think fast. A man and a wall in front of her, if she could distract the man..!

Ah, stupid, stupid Chris! She would probably get killed now. By now she forgot about the brick and it would be unable to be retransmuted. Pulling a transmutation circle, she had to work fast. She slammed it against the brick wall and she transmuted it into a bunch of rocks. Perfect for throwing..! But that massive transmutation was now making her gasp for air, she was starting to wear out.

She grabbed a few rocks and underhand-tossed them at the guy. What was she doing? The power was minimal if she was doing it like that! Transmuting a few together with her last transmutation circle, she had a choice. Aim at the guy in front of her or at the guy with the gun.. At any case, she wouldn't be able to get an accurate shot at the armed man.

Throwing it at the man in front of her, she hoped to hit his head or shoulder. And now she would probably get killed~Fun! -not-

[Chris Yuki]

((Is Rose busy or something lately?))

[Chris Yuki]

(Uh, okay. Assuming that this thread is not happening, can someone lock this please?)
