The robber that went to open the register had to push past Alison in order to do so. As he did, her open-palm brushed against him, sending a static tingle through his side. It could easily be dismissed as static electricity from when he moved around her.
Immediately and without reservation Alison clenched her fist and jerked it forward, the robber suddenly was flung in the same direction, lower body ramming into the counter and causing him to flip into the second assailant, crashing into him as he was making his speech about not trying to be a 'hero'. As they hit the ground, Alison pulled off one of the Heater shields on her bracelet, charging it to grow massive enough to cover the robbers and dropped it on them. It slammed over them with a loud CLANG, and if the robbers attempted to push it off of them they would feel an intense pressure pushing it back down.
Alison then jumped over the counter herself and landed atop the shield as though she were riding it, constantly recharging the metal to retain its size and keep it magnetically pressed on the floor. She looked to Cecela. 'Call the police!' She instructed to her employee.
Alison had a torrent of feelings rush into her at that moment. The adrenaline kicking up from the situation left her tingling all over. And although she had no intention of letting the robbers up until law enforcement arrived, her thoughts trailed to what would become of her if the robbers were strong enough to overpower her magnetic force, what they could do if she was unable to keep the shield charged. She bit her lower lip and reigned in her thoughts. Now is NOT the time to be losing focus! She could hear her uncle Lancelot saying to her.
Of course as all this happened in a matter of a few moments, Alison had failed to account for the third robber, having only focused on the two that were in her immediate line of sight.

Ryan Martinez Torrez
As quickly as the men rushed the spot it seemed they were stopped. The masked robbers were met with a stronger opposition then they had prepared for and it looked like all was settled in an instant. No customers were hurt, no property damage was done and not even a single penny was able to be snatched by the would be perpetrators. It was a perfect ending to a bad station, that is until it wasn't.
"You stupid blonde b***h!" A robber who luckily wasn't in the way of the large magic shield was able to whip around and catch the manager off guard while the man's cohorts stay pinned under the shield. "Didn't I say if you try to be a hero you'll get what's comin' to ya!" The robber gripped tightly to the pistol in his hand and suddenly he became a gunman the moment her aim down the iron sight with intent to shoot the blonde employee.
Customers that stayed hushed now held their breath as they feared the worst for the innocent lady as too did Ryan. He was on the floor when he seen the moment the robber raised a gun and without thinking things through his body reacted. Ryan quickly pushed himself off the floor and roared out an aggressive "Hey!" before moving a hand to his waist and slyly pulling out a gun hidden in his pants. In a split second two shots were fired, from two distinctively different sounding guns, and as the gunman dropped to the floor from his gun being shot out of his hand Ryan fallen on his back from a bullet hitting him.
There was some blood slowly showing on the ground where Ryan lay and soon after a customer jumped onto the robber's dropped gun to make themself a barrier between the gunman and his gun. With things gone wrong the gunman tried to flee while people were starting to go in a panic.
Company:: Cute cashier, other smoothie worker and customer dude Clothing:: In picture Feeling:: Condition:: Wounded Location:: On the floor Wallet:: 3,538$ Items:: Fake I.D, Grendel P30, Prepaid cellphone and his car
Cesela stood by her regulars in silence as she watched everything unfolded. It all happened so fast that if she blinked, she would have missed it. She soon snapped back to reality when Alison looked over at her and told her to call the police. She normally didn't carry a phone on her while she worked and the business phone was over on the other side of the other robbers. Thankfully, one of her regulars handed her one of their cell phones and started dialing the police, informing them of what's happening. Everything seemed to be in order as. The police would be arriving shortly with paramedics and all that stuff. However, the scene turned even more hectic when one of the other robbers pulled out a gun. Before she knew it, one of the customers had pulled out their gun and aimed at the robber. By this time though, Cesela had subconsciously put herself into an incantation state as she muttered some difficult words that seemed to be in another language as a spellbook had appeared in front of her.
Cocoa felt the tension in the air grow more and more heated when the manager attacked the robbers, stopping them from trying to make off with their money. However, when one of them drew a gun and pointed it at Alison, she got a little worried. Then, her focus immediately shifted when she felt a surge of Mana start to build up within Cesela.The air around the lobby got cold as several small shards of ice had formed around her. Normally, Cesela is in complete control of her powers but there are rare times when unexpected things like this happens and it's like her magic subconsciously takes control of her. "Cesela, snap out of it! It's too dangerous to do something like that in a small, crowded space!" She would then jump off the counter and hop over to her, giving it all she had and jumped up at her, hitting her head to snap her out of the trance. By this time, one of the customers had pulled out and disarmed the robber but got shot in the process.
Cesela was soon snapped out of her trance when Cocoa had headbutted her along with the sound of two guns going off but not before she unconsciously sent one of the shards of ice at the robber who held the gun. Of course, Cesela was knocked out of her trance so the shard fell short and was impaled into the floor just next to the robber who had the gun, who was now on the ground from when one of the customers had shot the gun out from his hand. She was in bit of a daze as the spellbook had disappeared, the air around them went back to normal and the other shards vanished. "Huh? What...happened?" It would appear though that she didn't recall ever being in a trance. The last thing she remembers was when she finished talking to the police on the phone. As she looked around, she noticed that the customer that had shot the gun out of the robbers hand had also gotten shot. With the robbers seemingly terrified and frantic, she rushed into the back of the shack and soon coming out with gloves and some bandage wraps as well towels to try and suppress the bleeding. Of course, her first aid skills were poor she had little idea of what to do.

'Even snow has its layers.' -Old Halteese saying
Alison Arondight
Alison had been so caught up in the moment that when she heard the unseen 3rd perpetrator speak up, she had a delayed reaction to him. By the time she turned to look in that direction, one of the customers had leapt at the man whilst drawing his hidden firearm. Gunshots were fired and Alison covered her head and clenched her eyes shut from the sudden explosion of sound. When she opened them, the customers, previously silent, now jumped up in a chaotic panic as they made for the door. The gunman seemed to be missing, and Cecela was tending to the man who had risked his life.
After the arrival of the police to the Smoothie Palace, Alison gave them her statement about what happened. She was visibly shaken by the affair, still reeling about what had just unfolded. Of course with no damage actually done to the interior of the store, she wasn't inclined to close it down. Nor was she ready to go home on her first day. 'Are you okay?' she asked Cecela. 'Thanks again for calling the police.' She then looked around for the other person, the one that got shot saving her from the third assailant. He was being held at an ambulance for his injury. 'Uh, hey.' Alison gave a small wave as she approached. 'I just wanted to thank you for what you did back there. You saved my life.'
--:::------::------------------->⛥<--------------------::------:::--- Where: Smoothie Palace, Lune Beach With: N/A Age: 23 Orientation: Bisexual Status: Drinking a smoothie and relaxing in the sun Address: 1225 Pasadena --:::------::------------------->⛥<--------------------::------:::--- It had been a quiet and relaxing day at the beach with Rowan the day before and the elf had enjoyed it thoroughly. As unknown as he had been with the ocean, now he was growing quite fond of it. Even today he once again found himself at the beach. Ayluin had debated going to the aquarium again, but he instead decided to settle for the beach itself. After his initial surprise with the wave, which had gained him his friend laughing at him, he now knew that the waves came up quite high at times and learned to keep an eye on it so it wouldn't knock him over again. This time, he made his way to the Smoothie Palace. It had caught his eye yesterday, but the elf had yet to visit it until today.
After making a stroll over the beach, since it was to early to swim in Ayluin's opinion, the elf walked towards the establishment. He had gotten a swimming trunks just earlier as he had seen with others and put it on under his shirt and walked on his usual bare feet. Ayluin smiled when he got to the place and looked over it. He had seen it correctly then, even the area around the bar was swimming and relaxing in water. This was all a very new experience to the sheltered male and he lost no time to go enjoy it. Ayluin wandered into the building and once he had gotten his smoothie he took off his shirt and placed it on the deck nearby before nestling himself in one of the doughnuts as someone near him had as well.
Alfons was the curious about who was at the front door but Amaryllis easily convinced them it was just a letter from a a family member of hers and thus the continue on mundane. While he was happy being in a peaceful and practical life setting for the first time in his life there was this odd inkling growing within him. He was happy, sure, but there felt like something was missing. The days were more peaceful than what he was used to and it makes something inside of him restless. His kiss his lover's cheek at night but this lion, so use to the stress of dangerous missions, was finding it difficult to lay down its primal nature.
The next day came and with it a new sense of duty. While he and Amaryllis shared breakfast and showed as usual Alfons suddenly remembered he had an errand to run. Wishing his love a goodbye before heading off, Alfons drove off in his car and sent it inti autopilot mode after a block away from the house. He took this moment to activate the vehicle's inner computer display and began to review all the information he had gathered on Dante's case. It was there that he seen that a bug he had planted in the electronic banking account of Dante Salvatore reported back a successful hit. Alfons would begin reviewing the ATM security cams from which money was withdrawn from and with each time the bank account was robbed of money it would take a photo of a masked male figure. With no clear proof of identity Alfons was at a loss to whom it might be who's stealing the dead mobsters money; Yet he had a gut feeling all this time that this investigation wasn't over yet.
With the computer system shutdown and the car slowly coming to a halt in front of the Smoothie Place, the secret agent Alfons calmly exit his car and fixed his tie as he made his way into the establishment. Waiting in line just like everybody else as to not raise suspicion the hidden demon had finally arrived to the front of the counter when he looked at the blond front end worker and spoke. "Miss, my name is Alfons Jäger. I'm a detective working on a case and I'd like to talk to you about the attempted armed robbery which took place here some days ago." Taking this moment to kindly take the badge out of his pocket, Alfons laid out his credential on the counter for the women to openly see before making a demand posed as a kind request; Co-workers of the blonde woman now eavesdropping and holding their breaths in curiosity. "Let us speak somewhere more privately though. Perhaps somewhere employees only?"
The blonde's smile that had greeted every customer up to that point and faded into an awkward grin. She licked her teeth from behind her soft lips as her face continued to distort slowly into one of irritation. She looked over to one of the other active employees and had them take over before motioning for the man to follow her.
They walked past the back sink area and towards the manager's office, tucked in a corner at the end of the establishment. It was a compact but cozy-looking room. The florescent lights above were bright and there were two cushioned chairs that faced toward a computer desk that took up the end quarter of the room. The desk was stacked with various papers and files in what seemed like a chaotic mess. At the center was a rotating chair the blonde sat in, watching the man with a bored look, but attentive green eyes. She straightened her black polo shirt which forced her bra to press against the cloth material, before crossing one leg over the other.
'So, what can I do for you, Detective Jager?' The blonde asked, saying his name in a sensual yet very sarcastic tone. 'Everything I know should be in the police report I filed.' She adjusted her short khaki shorts and pulled them up a bit. 'Unless this is a courtesy-call and you just wanted to tell me that the guys who tried to rob the store have been apprehended?'

Alfons was well aware his presence was an unwelcomed one, as it would be to just about anybody, innocent or otherwise, but this uncomfort showed in an amusing way while being escorted to the back by the young buxom manager. She showed her authority while gracefully keeping a false sweetness to her face. A face many might think of as the representation of the store. Yet still, the demon would have to keep his amusement to a minimum. After all, he had a job to do.
Being shown to the blonde's office the demon couldn't really say he was impressed. Alfons though the place messy and disorganized which made him question the validity of the blonde manager's recollection of past events. Sitting down, however, the agent knew this witness didn't have to remember everything in perfect detail. As he sat down in an empty cushioned chair Alfons took small note of the young woman's body language and even her silken voice as she teased with his name. If the incubus hadn't been so well versed in the art of seduction she might have been able to get a blush out of him like she's most likely able out of these easier boys around her.
"Oh they've caught the suspect, Shawn Penski, a few days ago but this isn't a courtesy-call Miss Alison." Leaning back in the chair, relaxed and finely poised in his black suit, Alfons would give the woman a seemingly clever smile that was both confident and charming. "You see, I'm actually here to ask questions about him." Digging into his suit to seemingly retrieve a photo from an interior pocket Alfons places that photo onto a pile of papers upon the desk for Alison to see. It is a screenshot from the video captured on surveillance camera and it happens to be a zoomed-in shot of Ryan's face; The moment the young man had decided to fight against the armed robber.
"Now before we continue I wanna make one thing clear. You aren't in any kind of trouble." Stressing that point by calmly emphasizing his last sentence, the detective would reach once more into his vest only this time to pull out a cigarette along with a Zippo lighter to get a cherry going at the tip of his smoke stick. "A question I do got to ask at these kinds of things is if you happen to know the young man in the photo at all? Perhaps he's a fellow coed from a college you attend, or a boytoy you recently met from online dating?"
'A boy-toy?' Alison giggled. 'How very deviant of you to assume such naughty things about me, detective.' She switched the positions of her legs as she spoke, her thighs gliding over each other as she did.
Alison picked up the photo and looked at it. She didn't say anything for 15 seconds, her eyes were scanning over the picture handed to her, occasionally looking off to the side. 'Yeah, we went on a date once,' Alison replied, giving Alfons back the photo. 'On the 15th, I think? I don't know if that really counts as knowing him, though.' Alison held the photo out to give it back to Alfons before resting her back into her chair. 'He was really sweet. REEAALLY cute too,' she cooed in a dreamy manner as if to recall something particular from that night.
She wouldn't try to hold any kind of elongated gaze, mostly holding his look when she was talking to the young-looking man. But each time she did, her eyes would betray the nonchalant composure she was emanating; the meadow green pastures were focused, searching for something within the steel-blue look of her interviewer.

OOC:
--:::------::------------------->⛥<--------------------::------:::--- Where: Smoothie Palace With: Mark Age: 26 Orientation: Bisexual || Single Status: Talking with Mark Voice: Generally calm and shines through some of the democracy without sounding stuck up. Address: 1419 Doux --:::------::------------------->⛥<--------------------::------:::--- Damen had finished up his morning routine, locked his house once he left and then made for the midway point they agreed with time to spare. It would seem they were both quite eager to spend another day together too, cause when the demon arrived near the appointed place, he already saw Mark coming to it in the distance too. The man had given him a wave and once they met up, they went off towards the beach together for the rest of the way. Damen felt happy to see the young man up and walking normally again, perhaps unusually so but he dismissed it for now. Their goal was to enjoy some time together at the Smoothie Palace. He had been there once before, but it would be different with Mark he was sure.
"It's good to see you up and wandering my friend. You had me quite worried yesterday." Damen spoke as they walked and gave a gentle smile to the one now beside him. It didn't take a long walk to reach their end destination and Damen walked inside the Smoothie Palace, holding open the door for Mark before looking around the area once more. No matter that he seen this place once before, he just really liked the establishment. Though he would not ask his friend to go for a swim, knowing well now why they hid their body so much. It was highly unlikely the boy would ever be in swim clothes. And since it was important to the demon that his friend was comfortable, he didn't mind at all to forgo the water for now.
He walked to a table and sat down so they could check the menu and then get the Smoothie they wanted to have. "This was a wise choice Mark, it will be good for you as well to get some more fruit in." the man complimented his friend. Then he checked the menu for now, once more glancing over all the items before he picked the medium smoothie and waited for his friend to make his choice. "This one is on me my friend." he said and smiled gently. Damen was all to happy to foot the bill and Mark could drink as much as he wanted of the smoothies. They were healthy after all.
It may have been deviant of him to think such things of the blonde woman before him, but as he knew very well these were deviant times; A chuckle escaping Alfons from Alison's comment. Alfons studied the woman well with his steely blue eyes and as he drank in her attitude he couldn't help but wonder if she happen to know how flirty she came across to others. Partly because he questions if she was trying to distract him with them smoothly thick thighs, yet his answer so arose just as Alison's own answer was given.
The blonde woman mentioned going on a date with the suspect as Alfons took the photo back which immediately raised a flag for the detective. Alfons knew that this city wasn't awfully big, but with his suspect already being known as a criminal to Alfons he could only assume this girl either knew of the young man's past deeds or is perhaps still helping them to this very day. After all, what are the chances someone you went on a single date with would show up at a time you needed your life saved.
With the photo tucked away into his suit jacket, it actuality being sent into the shadow realm by the demon's magic, Alfons took a soft drag of his cigarette before then exhaling to the side and giving a slight furrowed brow; Sharp eyes keeping sight of inquisitive meadowgreen looks. "Well, it sounds like your date with him went well. It's a shame you didn't snag his number. Or at the least, his name." Taking another hit of his cigarette he'd keep sights on the gal with his eyes occasionally taking a glance around to see if he'd happen to catch any evidence laying around. "I've got to say, it is rather lucky that the lad would happen to be in the store just minutes before the robbery would take place. It's almost like he had a gut feeling something might happen that night, wouldn't you agree?"
Taking a slightly odd chance on an interviewing technique Alfons then silently took out a freshly new cigarette to offer it to the young lady before then allowing his powers slightly slip out; A sweet aroma coming from the Incubus which would make nearby females grow a little flustered and restless. "Alison, how did your date go with the lad? Did he act odd or mention anything personal about himself? Would you think ye may have orchestrated the robbery, to fail, in order to rescue you and impress you in the process?" Lures and lies webbed around just about everything the demon would say or do but there is also silver strings to all these things, yet it was up to the woman to see just how carefully Alfons would need to treed about this situation.

'Even snow has its layers.' -Old Halteese saying
Alison Arondight
Alison had declined the cigarette, but caught the sweet scent as Alfons began to ask her about the possibility of the robbery being hoaxed in order to garner her attention. 'Don't you think that's a bit of a reach, detective?' Alison mused 'We'd never met before the day of the robbery, I don't see why he'd...' Her voice trailed off as she lost her train of thought for a moment.
Her breath quickened ever so slightly, she shifted uncomfortably in her chair. A pink hue began to form across her face. '... I mean, I don't see why he'd wanna go through all that trouble when he could've just shown me his car.' Alison managed a joke, her eyes less focused as she fought the feelings of lust and frustration that slowly began to take hold. 'The date itself was normal fare; movies then Dalkia rum at my place. He, uh... *eherm*, didn't really talk much about himself, no.'
A thought began to form in Alison's mind. It was unfounded, groundless, and in fact it was only the result of her flustered feeling, but for a moment she thought to herself 'what if Ryan knew who I was??'
With:Damen l Activity:Crying l Status:Healthy l Relationship Status:Single
As Mark walked down the sidewalk he had thrown on a powder blue jacket over top a gray long sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans. While his legs weren't nearly as bad as his arms he still felt a bit self conscious since he knew there were still some marks down there on his legs as well. As he walked to their appointed destination the young man's face would light up a bit when he spotted Damen and he raised his own hand to wave to him. He would then proceed to walk towards the beach with Damen, the other seemed just as pleased to see him up and about as Mark was to be out. The young man just smiled a bit and nodded his head"Feels good to um..to be up, I've...uh...been pretty cooped up.....these last couple days..."he was more than happy to get some good, fresh air, he was just now realizing how stuffy his own home was. Once they arrived at the smoothie place he made sure to take in a deep breath of that ocean air, Mark really never had a reason for coming down to the beach since he never swam so it was really nice for once. Mark would then follow Damen to a table and looked at the menu and chuckled a little bit at the other man's comment"You're right...it's been too long since I've had some real fruit..."he was being rather honest, Mark didn't actively go out of his way to eat fruits since he was always surprisingly more of a vegetable guy, he liked savory food more often than sweets. Still though Mark would blink in surprise when the other stated that he'd pay for himWha..? N..no! You don't have too!by this point however he knew that there was little point in arguing with Damen over such matters and simply smiled"You're...way too nice Damen..."he stated with a small smile on his face before the waitress arrived and took their orders, Mark getting a medium sized strawberry and mango smoothie. He did like mango's and strawberries so they should be pretty good together, at least he thought so.
