[oom: canonical update]

There's a confused and very frightened young man sitting with his back against the wall on the floor near the fire.
Come give him a hug.
gone_byebye: (um...)

Oh, hell...

Ray sits down on a convenient patch of floor nearby.

"How bad was it this time?" he asks quietly.

"... Guppy, have you considered wearing a wire? I mean- I realize it's not going to be much use to you nine times out of ten, since they can't be there forever, but- have you seriously ever considered wearing or carrying a tape recorder so that you'll have evidence against them the next time they try to screw with you? Even the most indifferent police force in the free world is going to have to pay attention to someone making documented terroristic threats."
gone_byebye: (dammit...)

Ray thinks about this.

"Pepper spray legal where you come from? ... no, that's not going to be much help as an area-effect deterrent, is it. And a taser's only good against one opponent at a time..."

He thinks a while more.

"I know you have the kitten to look after, but is there any chance you could lay your hands on a large breed of dog for a while? Something like an Anatolian shepherd or a Rhodesian ridgeback, that isn't particularly vicious but could hold a number of them off for a while? I mean, Rhodies were bred as lion hunters. A couple of humans who don't use guns can't be that big of a threat to a dog that does that by nature..."

"Well, I assumed they weren't using a gun because of the burns on the first guy. I kind of figured the bullet would've shown up in the reports, but you're right- we can't asume they don't have one. Is there anyone you can legally hire back home to make things easier? Any way of suing these guys to keep them busy and off your back? Restraining orders rarely mean more than 'oh, we should've seen this coming' in the states so I won't even waste your time asking about those."

Ray winces, and nods. "If there's anything I can do to help, let me know. THere's lots of stuff that's legal to buy in New York that you might not have access to."
