[T20] High Law and low justice

[Tonguez]

'So much for just wanting a drink' Tomas thinks as the tension in the room visibly rises. He looks up at the crazy Aslan, Saanath, the police and around at all the other 'players' in the room.

His mind racing, he can feel his hands starting to clench into fist but conciously stops the reflex and tries to stay calm. Looking back towards the door he makes sure his pack is secured on his back and mentally traces out a clear path between himself and the exit...

Officer Menuri looks away from Saanath and takes in the room: "Okay, everyone, settle down. We're just talking -

Officer Irikanu says quietly into her datalink: "Officers need backup at McAllister's Hearth for suspect apprehension and crowd -"

Menuri: "Irikanu - shut it! We're *fine*." He turns back to the room. "Right, everyone? We're all *fine*. McAllister, you guys know me - I've never given you any trouble."

Hergvaer: "We don't know her, though, Menuri. Where's Habireh?"

Menuri: "Called in sick. We just need to talk to Saanath and Treth here, and then we're gone, got it?"

Apparently satisfied that things aren't going bad right away, Menuri tentatively repeats his question: "Saanath - could you please describe what happened in the Red Tide in your words?"

Ktarlewaweikye is beginning to feel slightly impatient. She turns to Tretheasofkhou and asks in a low voice, "What do I need to do to help you?"

Ktarlewaweikye is beginning to feel slightly impatient. She turns to Tretheasofkhou and asks in a low voice, "What do I need to do to help you?"

"Can't ...think...Must I go with these humans?"

Officer Irikanu:"I can't take him directly to the hospital, but I guarantee he'll receive medical help at the station, and we'll get him there as soon as all of this is cleared up. " She directs her attention back to Treth, and when she speaks, her voice is quite firm: "Walk forward three steps, Mr. Lhaerosh Ardua. Lie on the floor - face down."

Ruzz'koff's abortive attempt at introductions having been interrupted by the arrival of the police, he is content to sit, watch and listen to this pan out.
Well, there's something up between the bar flies and the police. Doesn't look connected with the Aslan though, probably just prior history

After Trelene responds to the manager's attempts at small talk, she enjoys her drink for a little while. Then two people approach her table one is a female vargr, the other a Luriani male. Both are young, and professionally dressed.

"Ma'am," the vargr starts, "we're sorry to interrupt you but, we heard the Maitre'D mention that you were going to the Mercantile Council today. We'll be on the ship as well, and we were hoping we could ask you a few questions - may we buy you a drink?"

It all comes out in one breath, and thenthe two of them are left just sort of standing there. They look uncomfortable in their suits - in fact, the luriani looks uncomfortable in his body. Rookies, both.

Trelene smiles at the two and motions at the table.

"Please! Sit! I already have a drink, but you are welcome to ask your questions."

OOG: OK. Where is the ship going that we are all supposed to get on in a few hours? What's the deal with the Mercantile Council? Sorry. I'm a bit lost here.

"Can't ...think...Must I go with these humans?"

Officer Irikanu:"I can't take him directly to the hospital, but I guarantee he'll receive medical help at the station, and we'll get him there as soon as all of this is cleared up." She directs her attention back to Treth, and when she speaks, her voice is quite firm: "Walk forward three steps, Mr. Lhaerosh Ardua. Lie on the floor - face down."

Its all getting out of hand. There are too many players. And that makes the police nervous.

Saanath steps forward way from the stool and knees down, placing his hands on his head. To Treth he says in Galangic, "Do as they ask Tretheasofkhou, please. Like me. The officers are just trying to ensure that noby gets hurt. I will stay with you if you want me too."

Saanath maintains eye contact with the Aslan til he does so. If he does, Saanath returns his gaze to Officer Irikanu but says nothing. Please don't mess this up officer.

OOC: Edited out the blue as its really difficult to read on my screen.

Ktarlewaweikye resists the urges to growl at the woman and to put herself protectively in front of Tretheasofkhou, since both probably would be seen as provocative. "Can't you see, ma'am, that he's in no shape to be questioned? He barely knows his own name! I am requesting--respectfully--that you take him to the hospital, allow him to be treated by Aslan, and then question him. Station guards around his room, for all I care, but he won't get the help he needs at your station."

 

[doghead]

Saanath glances towards the male officer. "I would have to agree with the doctor. He is suffering from culture shock. If you don't know about his culture, you are as likely to create more problems than you resolve."
