Tavern Hopping

[Rimmer]

"Neither is trying to blow up my bar! You think grenades are supposed to stick or something?" shouted a pissed barkeep. The man was itching to use the rifle in the back of the bar. Holly waded over there to stop him, insisting that the situation will be over soon.

Rimmer only gestured in response to the good civilian's outburst and tried excusing himself. "I had to quiet them somehow, and I appologize, I misplaced my ether."

Craymen pushed his sword tightly to the police mans neck. " I don't like policemen."

[Ebony]

Daniel swung his arm back, and smashed Crayman upside the head. "Don't attack with their back turned," he said lazily.

[Rimmer]

"I'm really surprised you know," Rimmer gave the man an appraising look consisting of azure eyes that gleamed with humor. "Just a moment ago you were attacking me from behind. But no matter... just don't go around thinking I owe you any. You're not quite off the hook.

"Sit down and have your last drink, in fact." He patted a barstool next to him.

"Then we can settle this like civilized folk, and you can have a pleasant night at our luxurious jailhouse," Rimmer laughed. "...for acting drunk and stupid, and ruining the party for everyone else."

Kurayami started laughingas he came over to them again.

"I'd hate to sound rude and all, but we weren't the ones who started it." the shadowling said with a grin.

[Rimmer]

Rimmer put on his cop face. "And I hate to sound arrogant, but you're a part of it. Which means that you, amigo, are just as guilty as whoever did start it." He let that piece of information set for a while as he partook of his ale.

[Ebony]

Daniel stood back and stayed quite, he was reliving all the mayhem.

[rainlightlyn]

Kurayami was silent for a moment.

"But" he emphasized with a grin. "We didn't start it."

[Rimmer]

"So I'll be lenient," Rimmer shrugged it off. "You still have to stay behind bars, mate. It's not my choice, but the infinite, unbendable--but manipulated--strength of the law.

"Unless,"--Rimmer smiled and sipped his ale here--"you would like to start it up again. I dunno where you're getting at, buddy."

[Ebony]

Daniel scoffed. "I'm not going to jail. Don't be a pillock! You can't take all of us."

[Rimmer]

Holly waved. The burly, jolly man from before. "Oh, sorry bub, I should mention he's not alone, and I should've introduced myself," he explained.

"My names Holly, and I was just busy calming the shopkeeper down to a level where he wouldn't blow your head off." He cordially extended a hand.

Holly was sort of Rimmer's boss man. Even though the ziggurat of command spoke that the two really had no power correlation, it was Holly's job and that of other's like him to partner up and fight crime. Holly did most of the muscle work, while Rimmer was quite often "the brain"--Rimmer was the true detective, the artist, the one who planned and cunned their way out of hard situations.

[Ebony]

Daniel looked at the man's hand. "You're telling me that I'm going to jail, and now you want to make good? I don't bloody think so!"

[Inagoahoma]

Craymen walked up to holly and drew his sword once again also this time pulling out a pistol.

[Ebony]

Daniel glanced warningly at Craymen.

[rainlightlyn]

"Woah woah woah!" Kurayami raised both hands. "There's no reason to get all hasty like. Can't we all just get along?"
