"I doubt our man here will permit that. Subdue him, Barrington, or he’ll finish us!" Charles says, patting the man’s shoulder with a rough, old hand.

Yuna stands and points her gun down at Harold. "Stop! or...or I'll shoot you! You stop it, Harold!"
Mar 4, 2024 3:28 am
Charles tries to drag himself free of Barrington’s tender, aiding grasp, and crawls weakly for the weapon. There are doubts the man would ever actually be able to reach the thing before collapsing from the pained effort.

"For the Lord's sake, Charles, stay still will you!" shouts Barrington.
"Look, I'm taking out my gun, pointing it at Harold." (Barrington does this).
"Will seeing that finally bring you to your senses and stop you making your wound even worse?!"
Barrington now turns his attention to Harold, pointing his .45 Revolver towards him.
"And now, Harold, it's YOUR turn to stay still, for God's sake. Don't you move or I'm going to shoot YOU this time!"

Barrington strides up to Harold and slaps him across the face, to try and get him to finally properly talk to them.
"Snap out of it, Harold! Plenty of time for your self-pitying indulgences later!"
"Talk to us!! Now, man! What in heaven or hell or somewhere else is going on here?"

Glacial calm spreads over Barrington's face.
"How dare I hit you, Harold?" he says in a low, quiet, steely voice.
"You dare ask me that? After you have just shot three of us? Nearly killing one of us?"
"You ask me about my lawyer, Harold. I don't think even the best lawyer in the land is going to be able to do anything for you, given this sorry miserable scene that you have just caused here."

Barrington's not trying to persuade Harold here. Barrington is just furious with the man. He will, however, based on Harold's behaviour and words, try and better understand Harold motives, what he's thinking and feeling here - in case it's relevant for that, I'll make a Psychology roll.Rolls

You can tell Harold will not tell you about what happened and would rather kill than reveal whatever secrets you are asking about. He is clearly relieved with whatever you have done tonight and wants to walk away to enjoy the rest of his life.Mar 4, 2024 4:19 pm
"You ridiculous, pathetic, craven piece of crap, Harold!" bellows Barrington at him, switching from calm fury to raging fury in an instant..!
"Look at you! Ready to kill us rather than tell us what's going on here - and, I can tell, you're happy, smug even, that we have somehow done your dirty work here - and you want to just walk away from this as if nothing has happened, off into what you imagine will be some blessed happy life...?!"
"You DISGUST me!"
Barrington turns to the others.
"He's not going to tell us his secrets. I can tell. And I'm not going to stoop to his level, not going to try and drag them out of him."
"I don't know what we can do, other than leave him to go free, taking our curses with him..."

"He wants to leave? Perhaps we tie him up and find the most uncomfortable place in the house for him. Maybe he can sleep here overnight - maybe in the prop room? Or maybe the room with the cabinet?" She watches Harold for any sign of a response indicating distress at the idea she's floating.

Harold shows no signs of distress at these suggestions. In fact, he seems at peace with this idea.

Yuna shakes her head and sighs. "Let him go," she says, "The man is completely mad. We'll get to the bottom of this without him, and we'll see just how bright his future is when my article drags his name through the mud as an accomplice to Memphis's disappearance. The headline writes itself, I think - 'Jealous Pupil Disappears Beloved Magician' - I think that will play nicely."

Yuna stares at the man, nodding slowly. "Come on, I'll drive. You men need to be seen after."
Mar 6, 2024 11:17 am
Wincing through the pain, Barrington nods to Yuna
"Aye, you're not wrong there, Yuna. Let's see about getting us all to a doctor - and Charles here to a hospital."

Charles weakly groans his assent, and leans his weight on one of the others, once he’s back on his feet.
