Xerxia's up
Despite her best efforts to shake him off, Otto just manages to get a grip on Janey, holding her by the collar and seeing him ove, Katie attempts to also grab her but stumbles and misses her chance. However, fortunately for the Beast, Janey also fails in her struggles and is unable to get out of Otto's hold. "Get off me, you prick, she's getting away!" Janey cries out as Sandy, suddenly realizing how screwed her life has becomes, has made a break for the front door.
Rolls
Jack only has seconds to react. He isn't sure why the others have decided to grab Janey. I mean, it looks like she plays on their team, so to speak. On the other hand, Sandy is definitely acting very fetchy, so when she makes a break for the door, the old soldier tries to stop her. Cold. Slipping the slim blades from their concealment, Jack figures he can always apologize and fix her up later. The good doctor's certainly done it a million times before now. It doesn't even occur to him that what worked in his Keeper's Arcadian realm might not work in the real world.
Focused Attack
Even though she only recently began training up her unarmed combat, Xerxia figures the best course of action is to just try to pin Sandy since she, unlike the doctor, cannot just heal up someone she has physically injured. The Fairest moves up behind Katie's ex-roommate and places her in a choke hold.
Favored Fate used (first actively attempted action after activating it), 1 WP spent. STR 2 for breaking the hold.
