[ Action ]
[ In the late afternoon, and stretching on until evening, the arcade has been taken over! Decorations have been hung, with a few tables set up with a pair of huge birthday cakes, other finger-foods, and drinks. Odds are, if you're close to Neil, you received an invitation to this party -- even if he has to come and drag you there, himself! (It would include friends of Lyle but, well, he kind of didn't talk to his brother about this. Whoops!)

For else that stops by, well... it will be hard to miss the ruckus, especially once guests arrive. Above the entryway to the bowling lanes a banner that simply reads:

♣ HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! ♣

It shouldn't be too hard to figure out why it's there, or who it's for, so come on in~ ]

(OOC: Here is a link to the invitations from yesterday! Party-crashers and guests welcome. Event style posting! Threads might be from either Lockon, with one closed thread as an exception.)

	Go ahead and have a seat, if you'd like. [Cain helps himself to the same suggestion, settling into one of the chairs.] Are you feeling alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He considers standing for a moment, but then decides to sit down, taking a deep breath.] Yes. I'm fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good, good. [Cain folds his hands together. He doesn't have a pad or anything to write on, but fortunately, his memory is excellent and he intends on going straight to HQ to write it all down, anyway.] Take a minute to collect your thoughts, and then I'd like you to start at the beginning, from when Ms. Hiling approached you.

... All right.

Well, I was told I had been here before, so there are some people here who recognize me that I don't know. She said we met the last time I was here, and asked if we could go someplace quieter.

I followed, because the party was starting to get a bit noisy, so I thought it was reasonable. We came in here, she shut the door, and pushed me to the couch. She pulled the gun on me, grabbed me by the hair, and then...

[This was the awkward part. How to put this...]

Hallelujah took over.

	[Cain nods slowly. This guy is probably completely nuts, but he has found that treating people with the appearance of respect is much better than flailing or condescending to them. Then again, Hiling had referred to him with a plural pronoun...] Was that the one stomping on her when I came in? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... Yes. He's... another personality. It's a long story, but to put it simply he takes over when we're in danger. He fought her, and grabbed her wrist and the gun. She tried to get away, but he stepped on her wrist and was going to bash her skull in with the iron ball before you interrupted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alright. What kind of conversation, if any, transpired during the whole thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	differentside 2011-04-12 03:37 am UTC (link)
	She mentioned something about how my teammates "owe me an explanation", and how if she wanted me dead, I would be. Other than that, it was mostly insults between her and Hallelujah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bythechainsword 2011-04-12 03:48 am UTC (link)
	The standard sorts of insults? [There is a rhyme and reason to his questioning, even if it is a little finicky. But he knows it can come off that way, so he clarifies.] Nothing she said stood out as particularly telling about her mindset or what was driving her to attack...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	differentside 2011-04-12 03:53 am UTC (link)
	Not really, no. It was a lot of... "fuck you" and "bitch". [He almost looks embarrassed as he says it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bythechainsword 2011-04-12 03:56 am UTC (link)
	[Whether or not he's lying, Cain decides that's oddly amusing, in a childish sort of way. Cain gives him a smile and picks himself up.] Thanks. I might have some follow-up questions for you later, but that's it for now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	differentside 2011-04-12 04:00 am UTC (link)
	All right. I'm sorry for all of this. [He doesn't stand up yet, thinking for a moment.] What's going to happen as a result of this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Since we have no outside witnesses and due to the nature of what happened, we're going to have to open an investigation about the incident. If Hiling is found guilty, she'll have her status as a member of the Defense Force stripped, her gun permanently confiscated, and a shiny new place on the watch list. [Cain pats Hiling's gun in his greatcoat's pocket.] If you're found guilty, you'll just get the watch list bit. Nothing crippling to your existence here, but it does mean we keep a good eye on you under certain circumstances.

In the meantime, I am remaining a completely neutral party until I've spoken with Hiling and conducted my investigation. [-also.] I would like to speak with "Hallelujah" at a later point, if he'll cooperate.

	... All right, I understand. [That last bit startles both of them, though. He frowns. Voluntarily giving up control in a non-combat situation?] Ah... maybe. He's... not the most friendly person, as you could probably tell. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bythechainsword 2011-04-12 04:32 am UTC (link)
	I had a hunch. Still, he is the only other "person" involved in the matter. [Cain shrugs and starts for the door, resting his hand on the knob. But he doesn't open it yet.] Even if Hiling is found guilty, I do advise you to try and avoid letting him out like that, if at all possible. The Watch List is something of a first warning.

	differentside 2011-04-12 04:35 am UTC (link)
	I'll... [try. But that's not good enough.] I understand. Thank you for the advice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bythechainsword 2011-04-12 04:38 am UTC (link)
	Of course. I'll be in touch. Excuse me. [And he lets himself out.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
