(Oh, hey, who left this here?)

/roll 3

Piper may not be the most observant Kithain, but she does notice the Eshu that just fell outside their window painfully. They are on the first floor. He's hurt, but rolls to his feet ready to run

It doesn't take a detective to remember Rikki's attacker was an Eshu

"OI!" She shoves the window (or is it a sliding balcony door like in their last place?) open and either steps out, or shoves her head out, accordingly.

Her hoof stomps as she beats a quick rhythm, and sings out a cantrip in his direction. An attempt at Hopscotch, straight up into the air.

"You gotta-gotta get up, to get down! Gotta get up to Get DOOOOWN!"

/roll 5

Now, Hopscotch is lovely in that it moves the target through the air without any damage on collision, by nature. However, gravity, on the other hand, is not always so gentle...

She steps out... and stomping her hoof to the beat, sings and pops the guy into the air.. it's not as far as she'd like, but it's enough to bring him up a bit... then, ending, let him fall

She looks up towards the roof where she believes Siv was, and gives an ear-piercing two-finger whistle that could fetch a taxi from down the street in downtown NY.

"THERE YE ARE!" Siv's voice can be heard, as Piper's whistle draws attention!

Piper calls back, "YOU LOSE THIS?"

Eye on the Eshu, ready to give him another bounce if he makes a run for it or looks to be starting a cantrip.

The Eshu already having fallen once, recovers the second time, and seeing Piper ratting him out, draws a bloody knife "Hostage time I think" And moves towards her!

She gets a frightened look on her face, and squeaks, "Oh no! Someone, please, help!" As she backpedals into her apartment, looking terrified.

"G...go away!"

Fortunately , satyr speed is IDEAL for just this sort of thing

but she doesn't use it, not full tilt... just enough to stay ahead... as the Eshu (Recklessly) pursues!

and goes in after her!

Where, one hopes, there is a big blue wall of Jonas to duck behind - something Piper was banking on, and banking on Mr. Badman not expecting.

Siv has very good at impersonations... human disguises. Jonas? Jonas prefers animals! So perhaps, Piper is not surprised to find herself ducking behind a grizzly bear with blue tinged fur

She trails a hand lightly across the furry chest as she zips past, ducking into safety.

The Eshu charges in, sees the bear, and cries out in surprise as the bear slashes at him, missing because of it's rage

The Eshu bloody says "Well, maybe I'll mount your head on my wall"

"Swiper no swiping? Screw you, Dora bitch. He's got something I want, and baby I've got the itch!" Rikki , inspired by Piper's courage (ok. He's hiding behind a bear but still) makes a gesture!

The bloody blade in the Eshu's hands and into Rikki's, who grins "Now I have a machine gun too. Ho ho Ho"

“That’s my girl!” Piper gives Rikki a whoop and a thumbs up!

The Eshu turns to run, invoking an attack of opportunity, which is really weird given the Dreaming's usual rules

The Bear hits him, hard, and only the fact more pad than claw was used keeps him from being shredded

Instead the Eshu is slapped into a wall

Piper can hear Siv calling closer "On my way!"

Rikki looks at Piper "Do I stab him or what?"

"I say go for it." Piper says, ruthless.

The Eshu groans "Right to life.. mortal blade."

Rikkie blinks "Oh I'll give you rite to life, last rites you son of a ..."

"And where was THAT when you sliced up my bestie, you piece of shit?"

"I can think of a few parts he doesn't need to live, though he might regret it..." She says to Rikki.

The Eshu reaches into his pocket, and pulls out some chalk "A way, a path, and a door..." Like he was starting a nursery rhyme

"Oh, I don't THINK SO." She aims a kick, not at his hand, but straight between his legs. Full hoof power.

Such is Piper's musical power, that she can turn a Baritone into a high tenor!

She can't aim that well with Jonas looming on him, but as long as it distracts from the ill-timed cantrip...

And the Eshu drops in a wimper

Siv rolls in heroicly and... "Oh. Son of a ...damn it" A frown "I didn't get to stab him... again" Her own chimerical blade coated

"I'm assuming this is the guy?" She looks to Rikki.

And then gives the grizzly a smooch right on his fuzzy nose.

The bear chuffs

Then sits on the Eshu

Rikki nods "This is my ketchup on his hotdog all right" Waving the weapon she stole far and square "YOU, who are you, before I feed you to the bear ... and if you don't like that? Good news, Eshu are also suppositories"

At THAT the Bear's eyes widen, then a grumble as if to say leave him out of THAT talk kindly
