Round 16

The air inside the abandoned church feels heavy with tension as two armed men confront your group outside the entrance. The club-wielder steps forward aggressively, finger tightening on his weapon's trigger. "Bullshit! You think I was born yesterday? This isn't some fucking movie set!" His partner with the rifle maintains perfect coverage, tracking every subtle movement of your group. The two civilians who were hiding upstairs now peer out cautiously, clearly confused and alarmed by the shouting.

These aren't street punks or drunken brawlers we can carve up and walk away from. Those are real weapons held by people who know how to use them - professional muscle with backup likely not far behind. She tries to project non-threatening authority despite her otherworldly appearance, wings twitching slightly beneath her leather jacket. Sirs... I think there's been a misunderstanding here.

Silra is tensed like a spring about to release, fingers probably itching for the blades concealed in her jacket. The burning sensation against her skin reminds her of the compromising evidence still clinging to her inner thighs - she needs to find a way to address that problem discreetly before it becomes obvious. Her teal eyes narrow as she assesses the situation, mind racing through potential escape routes and distractions.

Meanwhile, Hera swallows hard, trying to find some shred of calm reason in the face of armed authorities and potential arrest. Sirs... I know this looks bad but please - give us five minutes to clear out our equipment and leave quietly. Let this go as a warning so no one has to deal with police reports or legal trouble. She's reaching now, desperate to find any angle that might make these guys see them as misguided idiots rather than criminal suspects. We're just a group of friends who got carried away at a costume party...
