    Alastor came to the sudden conclusion that he and Kaze were going to need to have a chat about the Veil. There was nothing to indicate that some of these people weren't Sleepers, and they had these people dramatically outnumbered.

    Still, he held, ever prepared to shut the Magus involved in this down.

    Holding.

    When vulgar magic is cast, the frequency of the oscillation of the dark fluid surges until the shadows arrange themselves in a solid black halo around Winter's head, the white light darkens into a fiery black sunlight and his eyes are set ablaze with vivid incandescence.

    The Guardian rolls his eyes at the young mage's vulgar display of power. With so many spells being flung openly, the area was rapidly exploding into a fireworks show, what's worse, he didn't know who was doing what and whether there were sleepers or other hidden parties involved. Admittedely it wouldn't take long to read their auras but it was a dangerous mess to step into. Still, he had to enforce protect the Veil.
    Tsk Alastor, he thought. The wanna-be Hierarch would be best served by putting his political ambitions on the backburner and start babysitting the vitamin overdosed meatheads of his Order, lest they act like, "this Goddamn Clark Kent wanna-be", he thought.
    He leaves his hiding spot and as if he were some random passerby he walks toward the group, the woman's aura is his focus.

    There is a flailing of limbs in the parking lot. Kaze's voice echoes loudly like a thunderclap, lifting pebbles and dust from the ground around them.

    Coat Guy yelps as he is propelled along the ground (there is no friction on the ground to stop him). The sound of his cry becomes pained when he passes beyond the reach of Sand's spell, his momentum slowing dramatically as he torn up by the loose debris, stones and dirt of the lot. His armouring spell flares protecting him physically, if not from embarrassment.

    Fedora looses his signature hat as he leans into the shockwave. He remains standing even as he is shoved back from the blast.

    Mystery Woman, already unbalanced, is hurtled away. She barely manages to secure her footing from the dust enshrouded shockwave burst from Kaze in all directions.

    Winter makes his move. Like Sand, he confirms that Mystery Woman is a shapeshifter of some description. He'll recognise her auric signature should he see it again, but for now, that is all.

    Alastor 16 - Winter 16 - Langdon 16 - Mystery Woman 13 - Fedora 13 - Sand 10 - Coat (prone) (4L) 8 - Kaze 5

    I figured Kaze's extra success into the Knockdown rolls so both Mystery Woman and Not-Fedora are upright.

    Coat is still prone and on the ground, just outside the range of Sand's spell.

    Mystery Woman, Not-Fedora and Kaze are still within the range of Sand's spell for reference.

    Dude better hope the Veil isn't around. Throwing magic around like that is how you get hunted. Possibly by the fracking FBI. Shifting his bag Langdon begins to move towards the altercation and gently pulls his tool from his bag. Also, its a knife so if things get that bad. Well something to throw and then run away.

    Censor Langdon is not, Knot would have fit into that role well likely. So running is in the cards.

    Langdon is moving to make himself apparent to the cluster he's watching

    Mystery Woman is actually sobbing now. Sobbing from desperation and effort. Unbalanced she hurls herself towards her waiting car. Fortunately for her, this time she escapes the radius of Sand's spell and all but drops to her knees besides her car. She is shielded from Kaze and Alastor but not from Langdon Sand or Winter by her vehicles shadowed bulk.

    Not-Fedora spends his time carefully moving into position between Kaze and Coat Guy who is still flailing on the ground. Not-Fedora looks still up for a fight despite it all.

    Alastor 16 - Winter 16 - Langdon 16 - Mystery Woman (prone) 13 - Fedora 13 - Sand 10 - Coat (prone) (4L) 8 - Kaze 5

    For reference - Fedora is within the radius of Sand's spell. He had no choice but to place himself there.

    For reference - Mystery Woman and Coat are both outside the radius of Sand's spell. Coat is just outside of it and flat on his belly. Mystery Woman is at the driver's side of her vehicle but on her knees having hurled herself over the intervening distance. I have tagged her prone because she wasn't thinking about defence, only escape.

    Acting now.


    Escape. It was what they were going for. Of course, from his far-off position, Alastor had little ability to directly intervene.

    Of course, being skilled at overcoming the Lie of Space helped to make that no longer an issue.

    He ducked his head around the corner, hiding entirely as he bent the Lie. Around his corner, the walls seemed to close in, then snapped out as the Unchained pushed back Paradox with Mana. Distance was irrelevant. It was time to demonstrate for the Obrimoi how Vulgarity ought to be used.

    Subtly.

    Where no eyes can see it, like a knife in the night. He readied his frightful weapon and moved toward the situation, finding a spot closer...

    Ranged Blow activated. -1 Mana for Paradox mitigation.

    Incentive 2 enter frictionless circle & range of Kaze. Zero.

    Not true.

    But worth of incentives compared 2/ others... not sufficient.

    Deep breath, steady steps toward the sobbing shapeshifter.

    Situation w/ unknown awakened. No longer w/in ability to control.

    Shapeshifter = another story.

    Hands: palms out, standard display.

    Armed status? Likely equivalent of shapeshifters. All under skin.

    "Hey there..."

    Shapeshifter or human. All = animal in stress. Thus: calm & controlled voice.

    Sand is spending her action on movement toward shapeshifter. Let me know if it still leaves her with a held action or if it will all be consumed by movement.

    Coat struggles to his feet. He is no longer prone.

    Sand makes her move and closes on Mystery Woman where she squats, momentarily crumpled by her car.

    Alastor casts his spell and feels space warping solidly like a skein of twine about his chosen implement. He can't tell if the vibrations are caused by the effect of his spell work or from his own anticipation.

    @Sand deltadream all her actions are used up this turn

    Kaze let's his control over the sound he makes fade, and focuses his mind on the form of his weight on his feet and footing, calling into being a different, subtle change in the natural laws effecting him. His feet are only lightly on the ground, his balance improved greatly, not depending on traction and grip on the surface.
