Joseph watched on, his smile fading slowly as he watched everything devolve into chaos almost immediately after his speech ended. At first, he thought that things might go well, with Feng backing him up. However, that hope quickly disappeared as Fallout stated how pointless he thought trying to negotiate with them was, only to promptly shut up the second Luna showed up, also supporting his argument that the pair of villains should give up in her own unique, terrifying way. Before he could get his hopes up again though, Rupa seemed to decide it was taking too long, rushing forwards to punch Albino with a metal encased fist, likely attempting to free Eva from his grip. And from there, any hope there might have been to settle it peacefully vanished, instead replaced by a fight that went about as long as he'd told them it would.

Although Rupa's strike didn't make proper contact with Albino, the brief struggle as he attempted to dodge ended up with the knife he'd been holding to Eva's throat going into her shoulder instead. While that was obviously pretty bad, it did give her the opening to spin around and paralyse the pale man, dropping him in moments. At the same time, Megumi had launched herself on to Jellyfish's head, absorbing the electricity from his body and leaving him collapsed beside his partner.

For just a fraction of a second, Joseph couldn't quite manage to keep his face under control, looking down at the two unconscious villains with an expression of genuine pain.

And then it was back to normal, the annoying, lazy grin from before back on his face once again.

[color=96EACE]"Well, guess that goes to show what happens whenever I actually put in the effort and try!"[/color] He laughed. [color=96EACE]"Lesson learned, never doin' it again."[/color]

He sighed. From how Albino had reacted, it didn't sound like he'd actually had any intention of going along with it either, but still... he'd [i]really[/i] hoped that they would...

Looking around the group, he spotted the first priority, and walked over to Eva, digging a smallish rectangular piece of paper out of his pocket, activating the runic arrays covering it and handed it to her.

[color=96EACE]"Here, put this over your shoulder."[/color] He said. [color=96EACE]"Won't fully heal you, but it'll at least stop it from opening up more or getting infected and stuff til you can reach a proper doctor."

"And as for [i]you."[/i][/color] He said, turning to Rupa, before pulling out another small piece of paper. Unlike the other one though, rather than runes, this piece simply had a phone number on it. [color=96EACE]"Yeah, not sure if Emily bein' knocked out means the scavenger hunt is cancelled or not, so I figure better safe than sorry, you know?"[/color]

Finally, he also looked over to Feng, Luna and Megumi, giving them all a thumbs up as well. 

[color=96EACE]"And yeah, thanks for backing me up there guys!"[/color] He said with a grin. [color=96EACE]"I mean, yeah, I was [i]absolutely[/i] just making it up as I went along so I wouldn't have to fight, and I'm not sure Albino was planning on listening in the first place, but still, the help definitely helped, I think."[/color]
