Our avatars are in a room together

-still out on that walk, is now near the lake, currently watching the Meenah-Silver splash fight-

-Caster is taking this time to investigate the forest-

-Caster, do you hear something...odd?-

-it sounds like...someone crying?-

<Shut up!>

?...

-Caster looks around for a moment before approaching-

-some dude appears to be carrying some girl, whose mouth has been covered with tape, deeper into the forest-

<I'm not even going to hurt you, keep quiet!>

-is too busy crying and (attempting) to scream to notice Caster-

-follows him at a walking pace, not trying to be quiet or stealthy at all-

(hey, Solomon)

(in this deep - almost nighttime-ish, considering the time of the day - area of the forest)

(you find yourself walking towards a rather decrepit mansion)

... -pulls a pistol out and turns around, aiming it at Caster-

-since Harriet is over his shoulder, she would be able to see the mansion-

-if only she wasnt sobbing-

-puts one hand up-

Easy.

I don't want to hurt you or her. Just back away and we can act like this never happened.

(Harriet)

(from the stairs of the mansion, at least two dozen meters away)

(you can see the shadow of a man, pointing a gun of his own towards you and Solomon from behind)

What if I don't? You'll shoot me, but what's your plan after that?

Oh okay. -has started to amuse herself by using her claws to pop fish out of the water, though she's letting them go-

-Fen heads into the kitchen and begins the caking-

...-starting to regret throwing the table now-

Leave. Simple as that. -starts backing up, unintentionally towards the man-

-starts shaking her head back and forth-

-she is trying to say "dont shoot" but she can't exactly speak right now-

I don't think that's going to work out so well.

huh, I'm surprised you're not a cat girl with how you're acting to those fishies

Mind telling me why? I could shoot you right now and this would all be over. But I don't want to do that.

(the man disables the safety of the submachine gun with an audible click)

(and one second after that - one second to possibly react - he opens fire towards Solomon and Harriet)

It's because—

-hears the click-

Get down!

What...uh...n-noo...-she's gone beet red-

-hears the click and immediately gets down-

-OHMAKERWHY-]

(the stratagem of hitting the ground works)

(Kiritsugu slowly walks - shambles down the stairs, in fact - betraying no expression whatsoever)

(opting to change his target, he takes aim and fires a burst at Caster this time)

-moves to deflect the bullets with her prosthetic arm-

-Genion just laughs-

awwww, did I embarrass you?

-quickly moves out of the way and sets Harriet down-

-crying even harder-

-moves away from Harriet and starts firing at Kiritsugu-
