PRP: DYLF: Back to the lounge

[ReubanBrightwood]

By some twist of fate the streets remain fairly empty out and about meaning even wounded as he is Philip can drive himself home.

Corn has some clean up rolls to make if he wants to do the things described.

But ultimately I need to know what you want to do next, where you are going and to do what. Philip is going home I got that but I don't know what his intention is. After Corn does the finial touches here what is his plan? how does he want to progress and from where?

accidentally pre-posted in my enthusiasm but caught it in time to delete it. Sorry about that.

Corn closes his eyes to clean his mind and relax after the ordeal and calm down. He then takes very good look on himself to check if there is any hair or piece of nail or any other part that could belong to the thug. He checks his nails for skin tissue too.
Not unexpectedly, he doesn't find any.

Corn, still grumbling, uses the water from the waterbottle(s) and any towel or piece of cloth available to clean the blood from the pavement. "I am doing you a favor, dude." he said to the shopkeeper. Covertly, as he cleans, he uses magic to make the blood actually disappear.

Later that evening, after talking to the police, he would send Philip a message

Reggie, all good? I will contact you tomorrow. If you need to go to a hospital man, do so.

  Prolonged

Driving home, Philip was not ok. Not cool evening. he thought. Still, nice to meet Corn at the lounge. But he didn`t want any help either, he just wanted to be left alone. He decided he`d need to heal and recuperate his strength at home the next couple of days in order to prepare for the challenges ahead on his quest to uncover more about the destiny of Mothisa. And not at some hospital where there might be uncomfortable questions lurking. It was an incredible experience for, getting shot at by that guy, and it would take him quite some coming to terms with. And not just the getting-shot-at part. That entire evening was a fast flurry of different occurances, evidence exchanged and people seen.

Well he didn`t want any help, except to get revenge. To that end he knew that as soon as he got home he`d need to send Corn a text asap, telling him how he wanted to proceed with the guy. Ideally, he wanted to punish the shopkeeper to the furthest extent of the law, while keeping physical evidence of his presence at the scene to a minimum. Giving his contact details to the police or involving him in an unshielded criminal trial would be unacceptable.

But as thoughts raced through his mind on the drive home, he also thought about the other challenges he`d have to face in the safety of his home. After all, just because the hacker hadn`t struck during the day that just ended, didn`t mean he wouldn`t do so the following day. And he still held out the hope that in the coming days this hacker would try his luck with him again so he could hopefully get his IP adress in order to deal with the problem he represented more directly. And then there was blue-jeans-guy, who needed to be researched because Philip had labeled him an enemy after his interest in Mothisa-slash-Daren and he wanted to know more about him ahead of a potential future encounter. He also wanted to research the two main people from the taxi crash scene in detail, especially the taxi driver in order to help him out. But also to a lesser extent, the ungrateful shopkeeper that shot him.

Corn provides damage control in the form of cleaning up the blood, limiting sympatric ties to the area. Stays put and does his due diligence as a good Citizen however with no victim (Philip having left) and no evidence of a wound with no blood it becomes Cor and the taxi drivers word against the shop keeper whose firearms are sized. He is arrested on the grounds of wilfully discharge(ing) a firearm in a grossly negligent manner which could result in injury or death to a person. As the gun clearly has been discharged and eventually loose shrapnel from the shot will be found.

With that sorted information is text back and forth and the next step in the plan is laid out. Philips place tomorrow.
