Liira quietly watches the crowd a little. At one point, someone starts screaming murder, and she sighs again.
"Not him again. This day just gets better and better."
The bouncers are running for the disturbance now, while the crowd seems to try and run away. More and more patrons jump to their legs and try to flee through the doors to the kitchen and the restrooms. People are screaming. One of the bouncers suddenly flies about six feet over the heads of the crowd and lands right beside Ignis on the bar- his Orcish eyes glazed over, bleeding from several stab wounds. Liira pointedly takes a few steps away from Puck.

Alexander raises an eyebrow at seeing the woman go for the other patron and then give him up. Still grinning she shrugs and laughs a little to gerself. As the barman speaks to her she glances over her shoulder at him, her grin widening a little.
"Quality establishemt you have here, Trigg. The very finest of clientelle."
Alexander laughs out loud a little.
"All you had to do was ask. Anything for you, chick." She winks at the barman and then climbs up on the bar and crawls back over the bar towards Ignis who she'd been talking to.
"Gonna catch me, Red?"
Before jumping down she looks up towards the disturbance a little curious. Her eyes suddenly widens as a body comes flying throgh the air and lands on the bar nearby. Alexander blinks once and twice and then jumps down from the bar.
"On second thought, handsome, how about getting out of the line of fire, eh?"
She tugs on Ignis to move away with her while she still looks around, far too curious to disappear out of sight for now.

"Running already?" Liira keeps her eyes on the disturbance, which is now a small battle. The crowd is finding it hard to get away- several of them rush their way and hide behind and under the bar. The bartender is already gone. The other bouncer makes a similar trip through the air and lands with a dull thud on a table, which promptly gives and falls upon a woman with a white hat, who was hiding under it. Liira chuckles. "You want to make a quick buck, kids?" She glances over at Ignis and Alexander.
Then with a few shoves and screams and shouts and one woman getting a shove so powerful that she bangs into the bar on the other side of the room and sits there dazed- a man emerges from the crowd. Most frightened eyes are on him- he is tall at over six feet, wearing a black leather coat with some white straps. His face is obscured by a black mask with very sketchy facial features, the eyes of which are red, and in his metal-knuckle gloved hands he is holding a wicked-looking black blade, a little barbed like a saw. It seems almost ridiculously big, even in this big man's fists. Even though his face is obscured with a mask it is clear beyond doubt that the man's focus is on Puck.
"Fifty plat each if you waste that guy." Liiira finishes her proposal, and edges away from Puck.

All of Puck's mirth fades in an instant, his cheerful expression lost in a matter of seconds. He looks both terrified and so passionately angry that tears begin to well up in his eyes, his fist clenched until the knuckles were white, stretched thin.
"No, we've gotta run, we've gotta go, we can't stay, death is at our door." Puck shakes his head, frantically scanning the establishment for exits. Restrooms, stairs, front, thin windows... he was very well trapped. How was he going to get out of this? How...?
He hopped behind the bar and began throwing bottles at the man, then hopped around the room trying to find some way out. Maybe if he waited for the crowd to thin, yes, that had to work!

Alexander's grin falls and her face looks alot more serious than she has all evening. She eyes the masked man head to toe, he sure was big. Her gauntlet-clad hand flexes its fingers a little indecisively as she stands there. Fifty plat, eh?
"Oh... why not?" She says to no one in particular and makes a few swift movements with her hands muttering under her breath as her eyes remain fixed on the man. The nect moment she takes a couple of steps back, just in case as she watched him closely.

The man just stands there, though his masked face follows Pucks every move. He is holding up the sword. Two of the bottles Puck chucks miss him altogether. The two others hit him- the one on the right leg, the other right in the face. Though they crash apart, sending shards of glass everywhere, the man stands there as if he did not notice.
Several more patrons make for the exits. The only ones still there are the ones hiding under tables and the people crowding the doors and stairs. Liira hops over the bar, picks up a bottle and matter-of-factly rips a piece of cloth off of the clothing of one of the dead bouncers, which she puts in the bottle like a fuse. She sets the bottle down by Ignis and grabs another.
L] "Have a light?"
Alexander can feel her spell in her fingers, coursing through her veins, she can feel the power of the words as she speaks them, and the energy as it drips out of her fingers, can almost hear it cackle through the air as it rushes at the man. And then it drops dead. The man does not seem to have noticed. He kicks the door shut behind him and gripping his barbed blade he steps towards Puck. He does not even run- he walks. Slowly.

Ignis hops over the bar, pulling out a matchbox and striking one as he settled in. A moment later, and he has a bottle ignited. He hands a few matches to Liira, and throws the bottle at the masked man.
"You know, when I get in bar brawls, they usually just involve drunks."

"You don't understand. You're just going to die trying. Just like everybody else. You think you can stand against someone who is everyone's enemy?" Puck shakes his head, staying where he is for now, waiting to see what the man does, preparing to flee as best he can. "Just stop and step out of the way, before he steps through you."

Alexander frowns and glances at her own hands. No? Right. She looks back over the bar where others are gathering and then goes to join them.
"Having a party without me?" She says to pretty much everyone behind the bar as she turns to face the Masked Man again.
"Alright... try this on for size." She says to herself and once more does a few swift movements with her hands.

Liira chuckles as she prepares another bottle, which she hands to Ignis.
"Nice change?"
The bottle he threw heads straight for the masked man- who makes a swift move with his sword, deflecting the bottle, and the improvised firebomb goes off flying into the bar at the other side of the room. It explodes into an inferno. Several of the patrons nearby scream in agony.
Alex can feel the heaviness of her spell in her fingers, the grief as it drips off of her fingertips and cries its way through the air- but yet again, the man appears completely unaffected. He walks two steps, then he suddenly charges towards Puck, hops onto the bar and slashes down at him.
Liira slides over the bar and edges for the door.

"Shit." Ignis immediately drops the unlit bottles in his hands and dashes towards the fire, grabbing tableclothes or anything he can find. He rushes towards the nearest burning patron. "Roll! Come on!" Then he starts beating anything he has over the person to put them out.

Puck, on the other hand, was just concerned about getting away from the man. He waited... and then hopped when he saw his chance, leaping over and around the man, he hoped. Even if he failed, the exit was right behind the guy, where he needed to be.
He sailed through the air, his coat flapping against the resistance like some large wing. He landed, his fingers touching the rough surface of the ground. Right, not far now. Standing, he ran for it.

Alexander frowned as she felt the spell surge forwards but once more taking no effect.
"Whatthef- who the hell is this guy. An ex?" Alexander quipped at the now-no-longer-naked woman moving away.
Now this bugger was starting to get on her nerves. If that woman was making a run for it the likelihood of getting paid was going with her. To hells with this.
Alexander jumps back up on the bar, that fire needed to be kept an eye on before it got really toasty, she wanted to keep the exit nice and nearby. She points with her gautlet straight at the Masked Man.
"Oi! You? What are you supposed to be anyway?"
Her other hand itched to draw her sword but she leaves it alone.

Puck finds the door does not open quite as easily. It is as if the door has fallen into the lock- then it opens, and admits him into the misty streets. The masked man simply stands on the bar, staring at where Puck used to be. Then he slowly, slowly turns towards Alex and watches her with his expressionless mask. He stands there a moment or two before he just steps off the bar and walks for the exit, sheathing his sword on his back.
Liira stands still and watches as the man leaves, making sure not to get in his way. Ignis manages to succesfully put out the burning woman, who obediently rolls when he tells her to. She is the same that the masked man shoved into the bar not too long ago, a young woman with short blonde curls (a little scorched now), sky-blue eyes and a sky-blue cocktail dress- or rather, it was. It is very much scorched now, up to the point of hanging in burnt rags from her body. Her skin is burnt in several places, and she weeps as she pulls the tablecloth around her.
Liira sneers at Alex.
"Hardly. Just some freak who tore up my place the other day, wouldn't even say what for."
