Belle shoots the Tattooed
Man’s other hand, just to be safe.
POW! His other wrist
(it's hard to hit the hand precisely, and he's moving it a little) shatters.
The Tattooed Man winces, but he doesn't cry out.
He does, however, shout "Ryoko!" and vanish like a Traveler.

It is of great
importance what Belle and Sonny-Boy do next. Right now, they are all inside the
hotel room, facing where the Tattooed Man was. Belle, as last one in the door,
has her back to the open door. Sonny-boy is on the left and Richter on her
right.
Richter spins around,
pointing his gun directly behind himself, to be ready in case the Traveler
appears behind them.
What do Belle and
Sonny do?
(Meanwhile)
Kaze reaches the third
floor and enters the room where Christine was kidnapped. Some white feathers
still drift on the floor.
Sky, Michael, and
Janet are in the alley behind the hotel. They see no living enemy, although Sky’s
pretty sure the Fade he kicked in the head is alive, just knocked cold. He’s
inside the building.
Kaze secures and drops sufficient rope on her way through the window that others may follow. She moves swiftly (faded) to the room down the hall where she left the girl.
ReplyDeleteSky, foolishly convinced that Belle has killed the unconscious Fade, turns back to Christine Tane. Not knowing any first aid, he will pat her wrist, and say, "There, there," or try to pour a little illegal whiskey from his hip flask into her motionless lips.
ReplyDeleteSonny-boy will get the box of donuts from where He left them by the firing holes, and is ready to defend them with His life. Viva la donuts!
ReplyDeleteMichael examines Miss. Tane's injuries, and does what he can to help her.
ReplyDeleteBelle turns so she is facing a direction Richter is not facing. Then she also looks up. (No one ever looks up. So, it is the first thing we always do in games...but then, really, even then, one hardly ever needs to look up. Still...one could travel to up. So...Belle looks up.)
ReplyDeleteOCC: Well, the heiress to an airship line might look up. ; )
