And given a Vampire's general aversion to fire, it was unlikely that the two of them would be in any kind of league with each other besides necessity. I mean, ok, so...she might still be right - a Vampire could have sabotaged the train - but that was looking increasingly unlikely, to say the least. What had probably happened was that something had gone wrong with the engine, and the elemental trapped within was now taking its sweet revenge for being confined inside something as pokey and confining as a bit metal box. Kiyoni wasn't an expert on Planar Creatures and Elementals and stuff, but she had to imagine that Fire - that tended to be connected with freedom and passion and chaos - didn't really like being kept chained up and enslaved very much. And the few Fire Elementals she'd dealt with in the past? Well...they were kinda dicks. They liked to pick on people they thought of as weaker than them, and you couldn't rightly seduce them or you'd just end up burned to a crisp!<br/><br/>Nah, her favourites in that regard had to be Water and Earth Elementals. Much more chilled out, and much more fun to play with. Either way, she doubted that the Elemental was especially happy, and on a confined space in the wilderness, a Fire Elemental could be especially nasty. She did register the good Ambassadors change in tone - apparently they weren't all perfumes and vapor-preventing-handkerchiefs, which was good to know - but she stored it away for future consideration as she climbed her way up the ladder, popping out on top of the train soon behind Lucia and Astrid, hefting her firearm over her shoulder as she took a low stance slightly to the side of the rest of the party, lining up a clear shot. The Elemental noticed them, naturally, and turned its...rather huge attention to them. She frowned a little. That was a big motherfucker, she had to admit. Would bullets do anything to a Fire Elemental? She hoped so, or this was gonna be a quick fight, and not in her favour. She lined up the shot, glancing at Astrid as she spoke.<strong>"'T's a big fuck off fire, 'n it looks right pissed off. 'N unless any'a y' can speak its language, I don' think we have much've a choice."</strong><br/><br/>Still...a fight might not be entirely necessary, and it hadn't attacked just yet. Maybe there was a chance? She scrutinised the creature before her, trying to size up its general body language and what passed for an expression. Maybe Astrid was right, and there was no need to fight. Then again...these things liked to throw their weight around, in her experience, and if it was preparing to do just that...then it had to die, and quickly. Her finger itched on the trigger, her breathing slowing down as she zeroed in on the creature, aiming at what looked like - to her eye - the most solid fucking part of it, just in case. She didn't wanna kill something that was just fighting its way free of slavery. She didn't want to fight something that had just broken its bonds, like she did, and her heart went out to it...but she could see from its aggressive posture and its raging, hate-filled eyes that this thing was not in the mood to talk. It was going to kill any passengers it could find, regardless of whether they'd had anything to do with its incarceration, and that was something she simply could not allow.<strong>"It ain't in the mood to talk, ladies! 'T's out f' blood!"</strong>With that, she opened fire, three shots ringing out as her hands moved in a blur, firing, reloading with her Alchemical concoction, firing again, reloading, firing, filling the air with smoke and lead that she hoped against hope would do<em>something</em>to slow this thing down.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/>1) Kiyoni attempts a Sense Motive on the Creature to determine its intentions.
