Quarrelsome Problem 2013/04/13 	 Longbow Pendragon Quarrel 1

Night time, campus quad. Longbow stands above the place where he and Star Girl used to meet up for patrol. she didn't come to the last spot, or the one before. Maybe she just doesn't meet here anymore because of habbit after Longbow left? Gotta be it. she's a friend she'd not just forget about him... Right? Either way he stands resolute waiting for her.

Night time, is the right time.. as the old song lyrics said. Anyhow, most folks try to live civilian lives, especially when those folks are students who are still trying to 'make the grade', so to speak. Bethany is returning from the library towards the dorms even as she's fending off a tirade in her head.  exclaims Arthur in the girl's head as she winces and just adjusts her backpack strap as she mutters, "Will you -please- shut up. I swear, I have a migraine already..."

The woman is armed, with a crossbow slung over her back and pockets of bolts attached to her costume.

Longbow moves to persue. Staying roof top as much as he can. sliding over obstacles and under them even throwing his cloack out to snag something for a small swing to a fire escape once. . o 0 (If she is attacking my friend again, we are going to have issue.) Longbow thinks moving to see what she is doing before intervening.

Seriously, Bethany has had better nights. She's had worse but she's had better. She shakes her head and says, "Hey..." softly, to herself. "Shut up, did you see that?" she adds.  "Right, nevermind." she adds as she shakes her head and turns to move sort of in that direction, trying to be somewhat oblique about it.

The crossbow girl has a significant head start. She reaches the end of the zip line, jumping and tucking into a roll across the gravel topped roof to break her momentum. She glances back, spotting Longbow in pursuit.

Fluidly, she rises to her feet and runs for the door to the rooftop stairwell. She readies her crossbow and blasts the lock with a bullseye crossbow shot. She rushes into the building.

"Is that..."  "... shut up." remarks Bethany to Arthur with a bit of a smirk on her face. Even he can tell she's mostly kidding now. She focuses for a moment as she ducks around a corner and heads towards the History building... her backpack left in a bush as the armored figure of Pendragon continues on towards the building at a much more brisk, and direct pact....

Longobw notices this and keeps moving. This is suspeicious. What's with the costume? Really? Tasteless. Ugh! If he doesn't break her, Pierce is already trying to redsign her costume.

The front door, that's the goal for Pendragon. She reaches it and reaches to yank the door open. "Show yourself brigand!" she calls out as her gleaming sword is drawn and placed into a defensive posture. "I would very much like to know why you seek out this particular buidling!"

Longbow reaches the cable elft by the fleeing target. He jumps and flingshis cloak over the cable, and it turns into a smooth iron crook allowing him to slide with relative ease down the line, giving him a moment to see pendragon appraoch. He tries to recall if he's met this armor clad individual, but their tactics are not of a group he readily recognizes other than the F.O.O.L.s (Fools Of Opposition to Logic) he reaches the top of the building and prepares himself by summoning forht his bow.

"Up here! Help!" someone calls out. It sounds like woman on maybe the second or third floor of the building.

Charging for the stairs... Pendragon knows this building well. She spends a lot of time here as it is. History major and all. She rusnes upwards and calls out, "Hold, I am coming!" But she's not -totally- stupid. She has her full defenses activated, Excalibur ready to protect her.. the crown gleaming as she seeks not just some sort of light, but any mystical auras in her line of sight.

Longbow considers ignoring it. But Star would hold that against him. He can't upset his friend like that. He can track gwen later. Jumping to the edge, Longbow slides down the side to where he could see into the building. Holding onto the wall as best he can, chanigng the surface texture of his gloves as to increase his grip as much as possible.

There's a crash on the third floor. Longbow and Pendragon get there at about the same time. Pendragon in the hallway, and Longbow on the window. Inside the room, the woman with the crossbow has it trained on what looks to be one of the history professors in the corner, a Chinese woman in her thirties. Crossbow Girl says, "End of the road, Dr. Shen. It's been fun."

"You do not want to do that." says Pendragon as her blade gleams like the sun is on it full force. "Surrender, and you will not be harmed. Harm that woman, and you will know pain." suggests the female warrior as she tenses, preparing to be sneaky if she can here...

Longbow draws his bow out holding on with one hand as best he can to swing the bow itself into the window in an attempt to smash it. . o 0 (Either great conspiricy theory, or the girl has lost her marbles. Not the best entry but the best I can do.)

"Damnit," Crossbow Girl says. "Stay out of this!" She pulls the trigger and tries to shoot the professor.

Longbow breaks the glass, and swings into the room drawing his bow into position. He doesn't say anything at first but his stare seems to demand being answered. My territory, of course I'm involved." He watches the bolt be deflected away. "And I did not come alone." .o0 (aparently...)

A gleam of light streaks between the girl and her target. The crossbow bolt shattering upon impact with Excalibur before it embeds itself in the far wall... only to vanish and reappear in Pendragon's hand. "That was your chance to stand down. You will not be given another."

The deflected bolt hits the wall and explodes, encasing the surface in ice.

Dr. Shen uses the opportunity to flee. She stands and moves to the window that Longbow has smashes in. "SSssso long, foolssss," she says, with a serpentine lisp. And then she jumps, landing 60 meters away, disappearing behind the information stand in the quad.
