Brownout Part I: Into the night

Angel, Jeremy, and Flannigan: Mick's body goes limp , then stiff. Father Flannigan's attempt to heal him only results in a definate determination that Mick is dead. (It looks like some sort of disease). You do manage to make it into the diner.
______________________________________________
Everyone:The National Guard have not approached any further, but they all have their guns at the ready. Ben's speech makes them pause for a second, then they shout to everyone:

"Get down on the ground with your hands behind your head, all of you! If you do not comply in six seconds, we will be forced to fire!"


Actions?
______________________________________________
OOC: Is it just me, or has the site been down a whole lot lately? Every time I go to post the darn thing's not there!
 

Jaque thinks hard for a moment.

These men have shot a civilian, a civilian who appears to have had something they want. To have shot him means he must have resisted or fled. This thing is of importance to that man for him to risk his life for it. Is it worth me risking my life for? If the others resist so shall I.

Jaque makes no motion to get down, instead looking to the others and raising his eyebrows in question. Jaque will take his previous action should the others not comply to the soldiers.
 

Ben

Ben slowly kneels down with his hands behind his head.

"Ok, General, no need to fill us full of lead. We're Texans, not Santa Ana."
 

OOC: When I hear them order everyone to the ground (and Angel realizes poor Mick is dead) - Angel will run at full speed to the back of the diner, pulling out her firearm and thumbing off the safety. If there is a weapon trained on me (although the way I'm imagining it, they're pointing the weapons at the folks on the outside) - I'll comply and hit the ground, hands flat on the ground in front of me.
 

Jeremy will follow Angel to the back of the diner, drawing his weapons (both pistols) as well. He'll be looking out the back cover, routes away from the Guardsmen, hiding spots, etc. To Angel he says, "I don't know about you, but there's no way in hell I'm letting them take me into custody."
 

A quick glance around, acting as if paralized in shock, Kevin takes notice of Jaque.

Turning his head back to the soldiers, Kevin inconspicuously tucks his weapon into the back of his belt, and waves his hands in front of him in panic.

Sleight of Hand: 16 + 8 = 24

"No fire, no fire!" - Kevin says shakily with a French accent to the soldiers.

Sometimes it helps to be thought of as an outsider...

"Frenchman, are you armed? I have no wish to be taken." - Kevin yells towards the soldiers in French, with a submissive tone. Hoping that the man in the diner does indeed speak more French than Kevin has heard (and that the soldiers don't), he again stands ready to dive for cover on any signal, wether from the Frenchman, or the soldiers.

Bluff (for the submissive Frenchman routine): 4 (arg!) + 9 = 13
 

[french]"Of course my friend,"[/french] he returns to Kevin, though appearing to yell at the guards, [french]"They won't fire on the local, he's surrendered. Let's do this."[/french]

Jaque draws his gun while running up beside Bill's store, hoping to be able to take a shot at the soldiers from the cover of a doorway or wall.
 

(Taking delayed action) After hearing the footsteps running behind him, Kevin dives for cover behind the dumpster, drawing his gun on the way.

OOC: Moving to C-11, drawing my Glock in the process; applying Dodge to lower-right NG (Defense 13 vs him).

Immedietly upon asessing that Mick is at death's door, Father Flannigan drops to his knees and fumbles with the latches of his sacristy kit. Retreiving a small vial of oil, and annointing the body, he commences with the Last Rites.

[Latin]

"Through this holy unction and His own most tender mercy may the Lord pardon thee whatever sins or faults thou hast committed by sight, by hearing, smell, taste, touch and walking"

He leaves the sacristy kit open and within easy reach.
