The plan had been perfect, at least as the slender squirrel had figured. She'd memorized the patrol routes, she'd prepared a crude, but effective enough forgery to buy her the time she'd need to get away, she'd found an accomplice. Something had gone sideways though, that guard had taken off early, she'd heard him muttering about the bathroom just in time to plow into him. Clutching the documents tight to herself, she shouldered him to the ground, tried to kick him, though that only resulted in stubbing her toe. Hobbling off, the somewhat dazed guard, gets his senses together and screams out, "Thiieeff! Stop that squirrel!" after recognizing the particular documents she was holding. Stumbling out of the doorway, she glances left, then right and sprints off, trying to duck between the various visitors. There's a shout from the other side of the square, "She came this way!" Though the closest guard is nowhere near the bobcat yelling it.
"Why do I even bother going to those lecture?" A Certain fox complains as he walks out of the building that housed the military tactics academy. Angus stretched, his muscle slightly stiff from sitting in a dark room for so long, and then his ear flicked as he heard the disturbance. "What in the name of the Creators is going on?" He asked, his eyes already drawn to the squirrel fleeing the scene, before he takes off after her.
"Heck if I know." Rainer hops off the bannister and follows the kitsune down onto the street, folding his arms behind his head as he does. Was he just... waiting there for Angus to come out? Seeeeems like it! "Sounds like somebuddy stole somethin'." A pause, as another voice calls across the way. "And she went that way." He blinks, only then realizing the todd is already on the move, and hastens to catch up, sighing theatrically. "Duty calls~ ...I guess."
Ictus chuckles at his cousin's grumble and shakes his head, "Sometimes I wonder myself." he blinks at Rainer before the call of thief goes off and grumbles to himself, "What's with all the thieves lately?" as he heads in the same direction as Angus, though opting for a stealthier approach as he attempts to blend into the crowd. He tracks the thief with his eyes as he steadily jogs after her
Selena seems to be paying more attention to re-arranging her bag's contents as she paces down through the academy district. The call from the guard prompts her to close the bag prematurely, looking over the crowd for the supposed being with a quiet sigh.
The squirrel ducks between a few students, maybe even shoving a few out of the way with annoyed cries of, "Hey" and other less polite things. That floofy tail darts right past Angus and Rainer, close enough one could've almost grabbed her tail if she hadn't hooked a sharp left, trying to go through the crowd. A few students begin chasing after her once they realize what's going on, stumbling over eachother as she ducks through them. The bobcat from before begins to chase as well, though a good eye might note he's chasing after her pursuers instead. She doesn't know specifically who's after her, but with the chaos that's going on, that's not surprising.
Angus frowns as the squirrel just manages to slip his grasp. "Rainer, try and cut her off." He comments to the wolf, dodging one of the downed students, as he does. Then is attention is drawn to the bobcat who had just joined the chase, and his eyes narrowed as he slowed down just enough for them to catch up. Turning slightly he throws all his weight into a rather heavy tackle, at least as heavy as a slightly scrawny fox could do, and trys to take the bobcat down.
The demure white furred songgirl quickly exits the section of the academie complex devoted to 'scholarly research' and whatever that actually entailed. She clutched the burgeoning parcel of correspondences she had retrieved for her mistress, holding them together to her breast with both of her little paws. She smiled to herself, tail swishing happily, as she imagined how pleased her lady would be with her productive errand and walks out into the streetway. She looks up slightly, her ears perking as she notices a growing bustling in the crowd ahead of her. She freezes stock still, trembling with inaction as a squirrel woman nearly one and a half times her size breaks free of a particularly large throng of students to charge directly at her. She gives a broken mew and squeezes her eyes shut, ducking her muzzle and flinching in anticipation of being collided with.
Rainer takes a mighty swipe at the fluffy tail--! And gets a handful of some random student's academic robes. "Oh. Um." She starts flailing away on him, and he swiftly releases and stumbles back, bringing his arms up to ward her attacks away. "It was an honest mistake! Gah! Get away! You're late for class!" Finally breaking away, he gets around to... bolting off to try to cut the thief off at the pass. "Why do I always have to do all the legwork?"
Selena mutters something under her breath, calmly pacing through the crowd towards the mess ahead while staying near the exits to alleyways or other means of escape. Still keeping an eye on the area; nothing more interesting to pay attention to yet, it'd seem.
Ictus grumbles as he seems to be spotted and dashes after Rainer in an attempt to catch up, "You aren't the only one this time." he chuckles a little as he races towards the squirrel
The squirrel looks at the small kitten and yells, "Outta the way you idiot!" as she darts to the side, probably elbowing into her. The crowd surges around her thankfully, though the squirrel does find that she's slowly being boxed in. She slides to a stop, glancing to the sides quickly before scrambling straight towards the group again, looking like she's hoping to get away in the chaos of it all. Both Angus and the Bobcat go sprawling, dropping anything they were carrying, a bag in the case of the cat in question. A book is thrown at Rainer by the angry student, though the doe's aim was a bit off as the crowd surges around her, so the heavy book soars past without a problem, other than almost hitting another student anyway. The squirrel's decently quick, but Ictus slowly gains ground and Selena being in the middle of the crowd would suddenly see a big fluffy tail bearing down on her.
Claws scrapped against the walkway, trying to gain purchase as Angus once again lunged at the Bobcat. Taking hold of their cloak he yanks, making them stumble as they try to get up, before he wraps an arm around their neck. With a slight snarl, he lets his legs give out, and pulls the Bobcat back down to the ground underneath his weight. "Rather interesting really, maybe next time you should make sure that the Uniform is washed and fits right, before you steal it at least." He comments in a low growl, not at all happy that he was now in pain thanks to aggravating his burns.
Rainer jerks to a sudden halt, prompted by a tingling of his Explorer Senses, and indeed just in time to prevent himself from running into the trajectory of the hurtling tome. "I SAID I WAS oh forget you." he starts to bark back towards that random student he'd offended before turning his scrutinizing gaze back to the jumbled mass of bodies forrr squirrel tail! The wolf lets loose a mighty cry of "Nyarghaburglegrag'nstuff!" as he wades into the throng, eyes transfixed upon his prey.
Ictus blinks at Rainer's 'battlecry' and shakes his head as he continues his dash for the thief, grabbing at the squirrels tail if he manages to catch up
Selena looks over at the squirrel tail moving towards her, with a noticable roll of her eyes. She murmers a few mnemonics, making a subtle gesture or two. Her movement slows, most of her concentration used up in her other actions.
