::Iole points down the other end of the alley::
He went that way. We just came out here, following that weird chill we felt earlier. And when we got there, it was already too late. And... she sang.

Oliver face-palms with frustration. "'reat... now we kill'in eac'other tinkin is was a hit!" He exclaims to Iole. "Tis place is gonna be burn'in soon, won'be safe wit evryun fighten."
Oliver ducks between two teens fighting in alley, avoiding the punches being thrown just above his head and regroups quickly with Iole and the others. "Gonna be a riot, tere is! An is the Harvester Ren! 'emember tha one night!?"

They made the damn corpse sang again like it did that night you kicked that woman's chest open! Please don't make me repeat that! Now help me find Kenny!
::She continues threading through the crowd with both of them in tow. She wonders if it would be faster to sprout her wings, but it occurs to her that the gangs might like a flying target, and options to keep her head low::

From his perch up in that abandoned factory, Adrian watches with a careful eye the event unfolding down on the ground. He keeps a tight grip on the scimitar at his waist just in case it spreads to his building.
"Combine booze and rivalry..."
A bullet passes through the window beside him and Adrian drops and rolls then crawls to the stares as more stray bullets pepper the old factory building.
"Ok time to go!"
Once down the rusty metal stairs, he darts out of the factory into the open opposite the party and makes for the main street.

The others nearly crash into Kenny and Takano who were just getting back to their feet. Takano, the unceasing nurse that she is, takes Iole and Oliver by the hand. "Come on you guys, it's not safe here. I have an apartment just outside the crest. Lets just get out of here before we're caught in the riot." She begins leading them up the street.

::Iole's eyes meet Oliver's and it seems that they're both thinking the same thing; what is she doing here? She signals to Ren when she catches sight of him on the roof. She motions for him to follow them::

"Wate! Wha abo't Adrian!?" Exclaims Oliver, yelling to Iole and Nurse Takano. "He may s'ill be 'ack there! Hey lis'en!" Unable to keep up with the others by normal means, Oliver jumps over the group and lands infront of them, planting himself firmly in their way. "Adrian is'till back tere! We got ta go 'ack fo-"
An explosion rocks the city in the distance, somewhere near where the party was. A fireball shoots up into the sky, lighting up the streets like a quickly, sudden, and fleeting early dawn. The heat from the blast is felt by the group, which is followed by a roar of voices, yelling, and the sound of fighting that is slowly growing closer.
"Uh... 'kay, 'aibe he's a'ready gone... Les'get outa here, fas, before an'other lamp-post goes boom."

Nurse Takano's apartment The noises of the brawl as fists meet flesh, and switchblades find their marks can still be heard even after the blond woman shuts the door. She turns to face the others and leans back on it. "Whew, that was a close shave. We should be safe here though." A crash from the outside that sounds like the Plug Uglies gang have brought their magic into the fray, sends the Nurse leaping frightened into Kenny's arms, bridal style. "Maybe not!"

Meanwhile, Oliver has perched himself on a chair, resting on his legs as he stares out a window to the street below. He rests his muzzle on the head of the chair as he watches.
In the distance, through the frost of the window, there glows several spots where fires have broken out, engulfing homes and businesses of the Crest in a crazed fueled fire. On the streets below where a group of Dawnbreak Boys are battling with the Eastman Gang, every few seconds the sounds of gun-shots erupt from the street.
"Oh!" Says Oliver, both excitedly and curiously. "Thes got some pipe-guns! Wen did Dawnbreak ges pipe-guns?" He asks himself.

"Oh its good to hear your voice!" Replies Adrian through the mirror, his voice sounding strained and tired from running; in the background the sounds of battle filter through. "Everyone make it out?" There's an explosion and the mirror goes white and the sound dins. "You still there!?" He yells back. "Where are you?"

::Iole sighs in relief when she hears Adrian's voice::
Takano took us to her apartment. It's just outside the crest. Head north and be careful. When you get here, the password is.... chicken wings. Don't forget it.
::She leans against the wall and slumps to the floor::
Maybe now we can catch our breath and try to figure out what the hell just happened.

:As Kenny somehow had Takano in his arms he slowly blushed a bit but remained calm for the time being as he saw Iole sitting down. He was calm but still a bit in shock from seeing those dead corpses earlier.:

::Iole nods::
He's fine. He'll be hear soon I hope.... Takano, get off of Kenny. He's taken. And while we're all here, how about you tell us exactly what you were doing fleeing the scene of a crime?
