"Well that explains the blunt force trauma." He said, backing away slightly to avoid being hit by Rhi's wings or anything else for that matter. "It's not that rock that did this to her of course, in the paper there was mention of testing a drug. So I imagine that's what did this." The raccoon felt a shiver run up his spine. Someone who could come up with this strong of a concoction was dangerous. Thankfully the girls hadn't run into who ever it was.
Rosemary was looking around the room for anything else out of place. Crap crap crap. What if he was still in the house. What about that thump they had heard earlier from the cooler-fridge thingy!
"Why are you down here?"
Rosemary spun around. How hadn't they noticed someone coming down from the stairs?
Rocky's head snapped around to see who was speaking. The person didn't look all that impressive physically (which was a small comfort) but they had a rather nasty scowl painted on their face. A Corvistowne ram with bright burn-your-retina's yellow splotches.
"I was just admiring your work. And... wondering what you did to my friend here." He pointed to the feline on the slab.
Oh please let this work.

Rhiannon flicked her ears back, looking at Rocky with a questioning expression. "A drug?" she said softly, brows furrowing as she glanced back at the woman. Even knowing that the bipedal feline was alive didn't change the way she looked, which was very, very dead. What would drive someone to doing something like this to themselves? The hybrid couldn't imagine needing money so badly that she'd take a drug that might not work. "What kind of drug can do this to a person? She looks dead."
Her head whipped up, ears perking as her eyes fell on the man, and she winced slightly.
"Ow, damn." she growled slightly, raising a paw to cover her eyes. "You're a bright fucker, aren't you? And scrawny to boot." She decided instantly that she hated the man. What he was doing was wrong, plain and simple. The seemingly-dead woman at her feet and the other corpses around them were proof enough of that fact.

Well. That messed up everything. Rocky's wings drooped as he looked at the now furious Ram. This was going to end badly, wasn't it? So much for being a well known Corvistowneian.
The Ram took a step forward. He could careless who he was facing. He was just going to use their bodies for spare parts anyway!
And then he felt something painful. He wasn't quite sure what it was, but he felt himself hit the ground with a heavy thud. Looking down at his legs the Ram gaped wide eyed.
And Rosemary stared blankly. So what was what happened when you decided to slice someone's tendon. Sending her sword back to where it came she glanced over at Rocky and Rhi. "Can we get out of this place and take the chick with us? And... I think we should at the very least knock this guy out and lock him down here so he doesn't do this to anyone else until the police or mafia or something shows up. Rhi, do the honors?"
Rocky was at a complete loss of words.

Rhiannon stood tall in the face of the ram's rage, glaring the man down with her strangely slitted pupils and bright yellow eyes. She knew that she could cut an intimidating figure, and her wings flared slightly, a quiet growl bubbling up from her throat. She would face him and take him down if he dared make a single move towards them! He wouldn't get away with this! He would --
-- Fall flat on his ass, apparently. Rhiannon laughed with delight at Rosemary, grinning at the canine in a silent congratulation. She knew even more now that she was in desperate need of a summoned weapon of her own. Without a weapon other than a rock, what use was she? "We can also check to see if anyone else is alive in here." she said as she leapt off the table, scooping up her rock again.
She stopped just out of reach of the man, activating her weapon-proficiency ability. After all, a rock was a type of weapon, too! With a quick flick of her neck, she tossed it, pegging the ram squarely in the temple. That should keep him down for a while. She turned back to Rosemary, tail wagging. "Let's go. We'll tell the cops on the way out."

Unfortunately for the rest of the people they were all dead as a doornail. The ram, whoever he was, wasted no time in mutilating bodies and transferring body parts. Apparently failing multiple times wasn't a good enough tip off.
Rocky had gone ahead and taken the woman off to the hospital. Of course he explained to Rhi about the drug as best he could. Something that was used in emergencies could be abused. And the likely hood of the woman surviving was pretty slim.
Rosemary was pretty happy to walk out of the place alive. And finding cops or any authority figure at this hour was a difficult task. Of course they managed, and everything was set into motion.
"That was more exciting than being in the Wood at Night!" Rosemary said with a bounce in her step. "So where are you spending the night--well morning?" the wolf asked with a curious head tilt.

Rhiannon walked with a bounce in her step, grinning widely into the night. She could still feel the intoxicating adrenaline racing through her veins, making her hyper and twitchy. At Rosemary's question, she turned to the other canine, expression somewhat confused. She honestly hadn't thought of that. She knew her father had an apartment around here somewhere... And it was probably well stocked with alchohol. The grin returned to her face, slow at first but quickly gaining in intensity.
"Well, my dad has an apartment somewhere nearby.." she said, standing in front of Rosemary, tail wagging happily. "I know where it is, but I don't have a key. Shouldn't be hard to break in though, yeah? And... Do you want a drink? There should be a bunch of booze there!" her delight was obvious. The night was theirs! Nothing would get in their way now.

That was better than any of Rosemary's plans. Hell, Rhi's plan absolutely rocked. Plus she knew where her Dad's alcohol was. (Of course, Rosemary's Dad didn't really drink, but that was besides the point.)
Her tail was wagging at a furious rate in all of it's bushiness. "That is the best idea I've heard all night! Let's get going! And most of all let's put that alcohol to some good use, eh?" She said.
For once she would let Rhi do the leading. Rosemary may not have been able to get lost, but every once in a while it was nice to be lead somewhere. All in all this was the best random encounter she had had in a long while. Maybe they could make this less of a random encounter and do it again sometime?
Well, that was to be left up to fate, wasn't it?
