OOC: Sorry for the silence. Will try to write something that makes
sense...

BIC: Kristina touched her cheek, to see if she had been cut. She was
quite sure she'd have quite a bruise in the coming days, the kind
that can't be hidden under makeup.

But she was glad she had succeeded in 'calming down' the hysterical
woman. She quickly looked around for something that would help her
keep her under control, but she could find nothing.

She pulled her own belt from her pants, removed her stockings and
carefully approached the woman. Noticing she was still unconscious,
she tied both her wrists with the stockings and brought both the
wrists and the legs together, before tying them with the belt, making
a double 8 between and around the arms and legs.

The lady would probably not appreciate being treated like a bull, but
at least, she was no longer endangering herself.

Kristina called out for the cabbie or whomever she thought was
placing the call.

[R--GM. Good things the rolls worked, I was wondering what else I
could do to restrain her!]

Kristina shot a glance toward the deli, and noted that a row of faces
looked back out at her... but nobody was making any moves to help.
She couldn't be sure, but it looked like, behind the counter, someone
was on the phone.

Sarah scrabbled in the gutter (surprisingly clean) and came up with a
small piece of pavement, about the size of half a hockey puck.
Drawing back, she hurled it at the other woman with all her strength.

The rock caught Kristina a heavy blow across one cheekbone, bringing
tears to her eyes and ringing to her ears.... but she'd been hit
harder in practice (rarely in the face, though).. She launched
herself at the small blond, the batido apparently catching her
flatfooted... Kristina's heel caught her just under the ribs,
knocking her backwards. She staggered, gasping for breath, and sat
down hard in her tracks. Holding onto her stomach, she stared with
wide eyes at her attacker for a long moment before keeling over on
her back.

((OOC: Luck of the dice, eh?))

[R--Kristina Sarah is currently stunned ]
