I'm making a CS for Merit rn, but basically she's a regular human state officer but she's not biased against supernatural folk. She's very lawful neutral. The other two are just NPCs lmao

@Eviledd1984
So I hope I didn't come off as being harsh to Hayato. Beck called the police and said he was the one chasing them, and that's all she saw before she snuck out of her car. The better he communicates with these cops the more eager they’ll be to work with him, especially with a body to find.

@Cio
I gave you kind of a tall order throwing Aava into focus of a state trooper but she's a naked magic girl with Josuke's blood on her mouth so. Evren can only do so much lol.

To Beck’s surprise, the police cruiser wasn’t alone when it pulled up to the scene; a state trooper was tagging along behind them. Two unremarkable beat cops exited the cruiser, one quite young and freckled and the other portly and mustached. From the Massachusetts State Police vehicle emerged a somewhat short woman with short ginger curls peeking out from under her campaign-style officers hat. On each side of her collar were two silver insignias; silver double bars where buttons might be on a formal mens shirt. She took a quick inventory of the scene and took something from behind the driver seat before closing the door. The younger male officer kept a hand on his weapon and approached Hayato from behind, not trying to be at all stealthy but certainly trying to be calm and avoid escalating the situation. The older cop hung back by the cruiser, warily eyeing the situation. ”Do you have any weapons on you, sir?” He met the Yakuza’s eyes easily, maybe brashly, keeping his hands conspicuously at his hips in a faux laid-back manner, gun and taser easily in his reach with a flick of his wrist should Hayato give him any trouble.
As soon as both vehicles parked Beck put holstered her gun and maintained a good distance from the werewolf, who was closer to the officers’ cars than he was to hers. She looked to the female trooper and spoke. ”Camera is still recording on the dash if you need to take it.”
”Could you get that?” The trooper requested. Beck gave a short nod and returned to her vehicle. The woman took a few long strides toward Evren and Aava, stopping just in front of them. The headlights gave her a harsh half-lit look, a bit eerie as she stooped in front of the girl with green hair and drying blood on her face and body. She handed Aava a small fleecy blanket to cover herself. ”I’m Detective Lieutenant Sheridan Merit. Can you tell me what happened here tonight?”
Evren had kept his eyes down, trying not to attract attention, but was shocked when he realized this person wanted to talk to Aava. ”P-please, she can’t speak English and she’s very ill.” he plead. ”We just want to go home.”
Lieutenant Merit nodded curtly. ”We’ll make sure you get home safely. Can you sit tight while we check things out?”
Evren sucked his lips in nervously as Merit observed them in discerning silence. He turned his attention to Aava, relaxing his posture and lowering his arms. ”(You can wrap yourself in that cloth. They’re soldiers, but they have to make careful decisions and need us to be quiet. I’ll keep you safe, okay?”

Wasn’t expecting that tbh... throws me for an interesting loop because I had expected the cops to chase him alone. You guys always throw me such creative curveballs!! Lol!
Might not be able to post again until later this evening unless I can finish something quickly — I should probably sleep at some point.

@Eviledd1984

Absolutely. Everyone knows but it's still new and shocking and maybe not everyone believes it. The cops probably have known longer than the public at large.

@Eviledd1984

They probably couldn't give much on Evren and nothing on Aava as far as information goes, but they might turn a blind eye to Hayato plotting to murder them, but now he'd probably have to go through Beck. Though hopefully he'll consider Evren's offer too...

✹☽ Vampires of Redhaven ☾✹

@Eviledd1984 Oh lmao.
If he has any weapons on his person they'd be confiscated but he could get them back as long as they're actually his and they're not obviously tied to an ongoing investigation... so not that big of a deal, and even if they're illegal weapons that could still work.
And yeah they probably would lol. At least in Redhaven vampires are more of a threat than lycanthropes, so if they can blackmail a Yakuza member with weapons charges or worse, and he's a powerful werewolf with a personal vendetta against vampires, he's a perfect pawn to aid investigation.

I'm about to introduce one maybe two new characters to fill some gaps... I guess it's obvious now but Hayli isn't RPing anymore. So I'm going to add a little more to the background cast with some necromancy and police corruption.

Where do you want to go with Hayato's story?

@Eviledd1984 Whats in his jockstrap??

@Eviledd1984

So I was thinking that Hayato would get caught and brought in by the police, but could make a deal with a detective to afford Yakuza protection in exchange for helping them kill off some murderous new bloods or something. Gives him something to do when he's not able to track and kill these three, lol. What do you think?

A loud warning shot rang out from beside the parked VW as Beck fired a high-powered pistol in the air.“All of you stay right there or I’ll fucking chunk you.”
She aimed the gun at Evren, then at Hayato. Aava seemed nearly incapacitated and she made a quick glance in her direction without taking the gun off Hayato, who looked to be the biggest threat; Evren’s form was terrifying, but much smaller than the lycanthrope. Distant police sirens grew slowly louder, but as it was practically full daylight now, one couldn’t see the lights flashing against buildings as they neared. “Get on your knees and put your hands on your head, all of you. I already called the cops.”
Evren flinched in fear at the gunshot and reverted his form to the gaunt, raven-haired young man he’d appeared as when he found Aava a few hours ago. His clothes were torn due to the inhuman transformation; the seams of his sweatpants were torn nearly all the way down each leg, a few errant strands barely keeping them on his legs. His jacket had been discarded entirely when they attacked Josuke, leaving him in a second-hand white tee shirt with newly ripped sleeves and a long tear at the collar. His eyes were filled with an almost childlike fear as his eyes met Beck, who looked confused but then was quickly more or less keen to what had happened leading to this. She was familiar with Evren’s eating habits. Realizing he wouldn’t try to attack or run away, although she was curious who this nude woman was, Beck kept the gun pointed primarily at Hayato but kept the other two in it’s line as she walked a careful, close perimeter around them.
Evren obeyed the instruction, kneeling a few inches from Aava and weaving his fingers together behind his head. He cast a worried look to his friend. ”(Get up and sit like this,)” he advised quietly. ”(Like me. Just like me.”)

Evren felt Aava fall off of him, and reflexively pounced protectively over her. ”She has no part in this! I killed him, your quarrel is with me.” he crouched slightly, assuming a defensive position but keeping his friend covered. He raised his monstrous hackles and growled loudly, trying to mask the fear coursing through him fast as electricity. He didn’t want to be slain. For all his misery and melancholy, for all his confusion and disassociation he felt a deep pull to exist. He’d wandered half the world and felt more lost than ever until just a few decades ago; reuniting with Lucifer, creating a small place for himself in the world… it felt like being alive. He wasn’t ready to give that up. Evren took a small breath and continued to bark at the threatening man.
”I’m not like other biters, other vampires — my blood has unique power. I can take on any form, without consequence from the sun or moon. I know the human hunger for power and trickery.” Evren was washed by a new feeling; something old and bitter, a sharp disappointment in himself but he couldn’t place the source. ”If you spare us, I can give you boundless power the likes of which haven’t been seen since the fall of the Byzantine.”
