FP: Allies, contacts, status and wealth

[ReubanBrightwood]

The policer beginning to pant now as the exertion of the chase begins to build and take its toll catches up to the enchanter for a third time. It would seem today supernal will working is out matched by the determination of this sleeping enforcer of fallen law.

"Just. Stop."


Meanwhile in the parking lot Winters spell continues to super heat the vacant seat turning the inside of the car into something a kin to the worst sauna experience someone could imagine. And while he might not mean his words as a threat, they definitely have the form, sound and effect of one.

Stripped of his ability to lie having been caught so easily and effectively, threatened with pain and violence and now the endangering of those who holds dear, that that was his breaking point and the Obrimos sees the fight leave his aura. "Fine. We can have a brief conversation." He remains outwardly calm or less, his aura gives away he is scrambling as it flits through emotions settling primarily on fear.

[Winter]

See, good manners always bear fruits.

He snaps his fingers, releasing the spell. "My apologies, in due time, you'll understand I mean no harm", he juts his chin toward the end of the street, "let's take a walk"

As the officer caught up to Philip yet again, despite the spell, he felt Fate had truly punished him. Or he simply didn`t understand what Fate wanted. The race was once again becoming attritional, forcing him to spend more effort to evade the cop again, and the pain from the paradox continued to annoy him. The guy just. wouldn`t. let. up. And Probable Cause hadn`t worked, so he ended the spell, apathically. Fear had given way to anger, despite knowing that it wouldn`t serve him, before going over to apathy. He was lost, literally and figuratively, but was still certain he couldn`t trust the officer. So, he continued to jog, fully expecting the officer to attempt to assault him yet again, as he had tried several times so far. But still, if only to humor himself, he responded to the guy to try to get him to leave him alone. Not that he expected it to do anything, but he was throwing it out there, that the guy was wasting his time on a pointless chase that was draining both of them, trying to weaken the resolve of the cop.
"You could leave?"

2024-10-07 13:00:54	Police officer rolls 1 to Grapple Philip third and last attempt (10 Again, Chance)	3	failure

The officer makes one last grab and Philip fateful weaves clear of the officer sending him sprawling and panting to the ground once more. "Ah. Dam it." The officer is not picking himself up with the gusto he had previously. It has become apparent he just can't apprehend Philip alone. Does this mean he is done? For the moment but who knows how fate will spin this scenario out.

The heavy figure of Goodwin tries to salvage his dignity, unsuccessfully as he removes himself from his own vehicle to accompany Winter down the street. He gets a few funny looks from other colleagues dotted around waiting for the building to be cleared but Winter has him for the moment. "Lead the way."

That's 30 days folks, could you both post once more with where you are going next so I know where to open the next thread/threads

[Winter]

The diner that he guides the man to is right by the intersection at the end of the street. It's a tranquil place with only a few customers about, and the rear booths provide privacy for their conversation. The air is filled with a blend of the aroma of coffee, eggs, and the unmistakable scent of industrial cleaner.
As they enter, they're immediately struck by the cozy atmosphere. Soft chatter can be heard in the background, and the walls are adorned with vintage posters and photos.
The Guardian leads the two of them to a booth at the back, away from prying eyes and ears. He sinks into the cushioned seat, gesturing the other guy (had he followed) to do the same. Then, he lets out a sigh of relief. The table is adorned with a small vase of fresh flowers, and there's a menu.
"They make a decent tea, good coffee and eggs. Even if we're not here to discuss the menu, maybe you could order next time", an attempt at defusing the other man's fears.

With the officer sprawling yet again and seemingly being dejected, Philip continued jogging, despite straining from the long chase. But, he was paranoid, so he looked around to make sure he was alone, free from cameras and bystanders and that he wasn`t being followed.

After running around another block to further make sure he isn`t being followed and completely assuring himself he is in fact alone and that there are no cameras around. Then he would return to his car and drive home, hoping to make a clean getaway, if possible.

Made a mistake and mouse-slip and only rolled 1 dice first. So, rolled remaining 5 afterwards.
