    Initiative order Ramona 16, Thing 1-16 , Morgan, 14, Church Head 12, Red Woman 11, Lynn 10, Thing 2-7

    “Wait a darn minute!” The woman in Red said in a clipped voice already in the clutches of the Ogress.

    Meanwhile one of the doormen was about to shut the door when Coco was suddenly at the door, blocking it from completely shutting.The other doorman was clipped at the ear and grazed by the back of the neck from Morgan's knife. He quickly went to grab the area, thinking there was far more damage. Still, a bit of blood from slicking the ear lob off.

    Pieces click into place. Pieces like 'all the time in the world' and 'fun trades' and 'three of you.' The most important piece though is 'reward.' Red Woman is expecting a reward for delivering the three of them to Pointy Man. Which means that Ramona, Morgan, and Lynn weren't brought here as buyers. They were brought here as product.

    There are obstacles that most people have to action in this situation. Society helps put them there. We generally give the benefit of the doubt to people we have solicited for help. Even those who offer unsolicited help. We also wish to avoid the appearance of being impulsive, temperamental, or stupid. These obstacles can be strong, people have allowed themselves to be manipulated, injured, and killed rather than overcome them. Many serial killers know this very well, and use it to their advantage. Yet, these are problems that ogres are typically less vulnerable to. They're often the victims of violence, or at least bullying, and many have had to learn to fight back. Ramona has invested herself in learning how not to be victimized again. One of many important lessons she learned: Never be afraid to be the first to resort to violence.

    The moment these pieces click into pace, she's in motion. She lurches towards the Woman in Red, her mantle flaring, heat pouring off her skin and the scent of hot metal filling the air. Pouncing on the Red Woman from behind, she reaches one of those arms out, past her, then curls it, wrapping it around her neck so that the Red Woman's bicep is squeezed between her forearm and bicep. "TREACHERY!" She cries loudly. An explosive bellow. Voice is a powerful weapon. It can stun, and shock, but most importantly, it can communicate. Ramona hopes to god that Coco, Gregory, and Milo are listening.

    She gets her balance, eyes flicking between the two Gear Dudes, and Pointy Man, and elsewhere, looking for threats. She tries to keep her (hopefully) grappled victim between her and any attacker, like a human(?) shield.

    Coco

    Mask: A slim, young woman with dyed hair, a mischievous smile, and laughing brown eyes.

    Mien: Coco's eyes are split into four facets that give a kaleidoscope appearance to her irises and two delicate antenna are perched on her forehead. Her nails are also like pieces of black carapace.

    Additional Identifying Features:
    A tattoo of a jeweled wasp sits perched atop a thick and gnarled white "branch" that stretches several inches upwards from her left wrist, though the branch is clearly a scar.

    A tattoo of a frayed, torn, and dirty golden banner trails around her right wrist, with another long scar forming the "mounting" for the banner.
    Coco's Mien

    Coco's eyes are split into four facets that give a kaleidoscope appearance to her irises and two delicate antenna are perched on her forehead. Her nails are also like pieces of black carapace, and her waist is tapered much like a wasps.

    Mantle:
    Surrounding Coco is the subtle sensation of warm sun and the smell of fresh, floral growth.

    The Wasp's eyes narrowed as she caught sight of the door guard, her cane lunging forward, all of the wasp's weight and momentum transferring into the thrusting blow. Yet her movement did not stop there, but instead continued inside of the room lest the doorman manage to close the door despite her onslaught...

    Gregory

    Courtless

    Perfect Stillness

    Mask

    Hunching over, the man appears in his forties if not older. His hair is disheveled, his expression bizarre between glee or malice. His frame is thin and clothes ragged or stained, smelling worn and unwashed.
    Mein

    His skin is gray like stone and his features more exaggerated, his eyes more set apart. Wings curl around his shoulders, unusable but expressive, as is his short tail. Horns adorn his brow and curl along the contour of his skull. He is what many would describe to be a gargoyle.

    Outside


    While the Wasp attends to the doorman, Gregory attends to the door, throwing his sprinting weight into the barrier with the intent of bashing it open despite the efforts of those who might hold it shut. Like a small stone bullet he bashes his shoulder against the surface at full force.

    Well this turned terrible. Of the many gifts Milo could confidently provide his companions the current line of action was certainly not tailored to fit them. At least not directly. Chaos ensued inside, but he was still outside with someone who clearly had inside knowledge about what was going on. If only the Fairest could find a way to persuade him.

    "Take me where they'd hide a prisoner." Milo hissed down to Pinky as the good cop turned bad. While he continued to move after Coco and the others, a hand slipped down and drew the machete Ramona had given him in a quick flourish that just happened to bring the weapon in close proximity to the little man he brought with him. "Or I won't use a cane."

    Morgan opted for drawing the kitchen knife and drop the bag as she stepped away so she wasn't pressed to close to her friends. "Merchandise heh-here looks," and tried to light things up too, singsonging: "fla~amable."

    And she is covered in fire and grinning.

    I think that covers the actions she can take. So, flaming raccoon threatening to burn down the place. Sorry for the delay.

    Waving his arms frantically in the air, the shop-keep cried out.

    "Stop!!! Rosemary wants you!"
    Chruch's eyes were wide and arms still flailing about.

    Church head takes no action



    "Oh my stars!" The Red Woman slammed herself up against the counter, she felt trapped and confused.

    What the hell???.....

    Lynn looked at the shop keep, skepticism plain on her face.

    "You have exactly 10 seconds to explain quickly and clearly what the hell is going on. Or we will bring this place down around your ears."

    The other doorman stands down, but suspiciously eyes all the Changelings in and around the shop.

    "I don't deal in the trading of people, Musician. I trade for information." Church shrugged and waved his hands over the displays. "Well, and trinkets and the like. Obviously." His voice was cautious, looking at the flaming one standing amidst his shop, hoping she'd extinguish herself sooner than later. He pulled at the collar on his shirt.

    "Why are you looking for Rosemary."

    I assume we're dropping out of inits?


    Lynn arched an eyebrow at the man. "We're looking for Rosemary because she vanished from our party without a single word to anybody, leaving her cooking tools lying scattered about. We have absolutely no reason to think that she went willingly. We came here looking for her. Why are you offering a bounty for people looking for her?"
