Fizz turns to look at Caitlyn, a bit surprised but still grinning with his playful and perhaps devious smile.
"Well hello there "cupcake", or however the summoners call you. For once, you got no reason to act like that towards me.
First time I visit Piltover, and happened to run into this place as it was. That's right, for the one time a law enforcer has me in their sights, I ain't done nothin'. Aaaand, as I've done nothin' that you could arrest me on, I don't think I'll have to tell you of personal plans, hmm?
Besides, as Rin here can tell ya, I've done nothin' but tried to be helpful."
He laughs and spins his trident in his hand before sticking it to the ground and leaping up to balance upside down on top of it, just about on the level of Caitlyn's head.
"Not that'd you'd catch me anyway Cait."
He then spins around and hops back down and lifts his trident again, grinning widely.

Caitlyn lowered her hat's scopes and started examining various power-ball trails and should she be able to, Rammus himself. This was an interesting development.
"Don't try to mess around with me here, 'fishsticks'. This is my town and I don't care how dodgy you are, I can still drop a frag on you for area explosion. So be quiet while I investigate the scene.
I don't need to catch you. If I find you a threat, and since I decide who is a threat here, I can just kill you. So hush. Caitlyn said, lifting her rifle from her shoulder and leaning on it.
"Let's see if I can recall... Yes, Rin. You're... Heimerdinger's assistance right? That's why you're here no? Inventor.
Look, I have enough problems as is with Vi turning rogue. I'm just looking to keep order here while I figure out what to do. I'm sorry I threatened you, its just that since Vi left, crime has risen due to criminals getting guts. I've been able to arrest most but... Yeah, most is not enough." Caitlyn said to Fizz. She then turned to Rin, noticing her broken glider. "What do you have there?"

Caitlyn did not come alone to Rin's hangar, no a young man followed her. He had a notepad in hand, and a rifle slung across his back. Perhaps his more catching features were the scar on his face, and his red eye that clearly wasn't natural. The young man, Garth, began to search the hangar with those eyes, seeing things that the natural eye may miss or not see.
The detective in training heard Rin mention how Rammus would not intentionally destroy her hangar, well it sounded like the culprit was caught red-handed in the act. This might end up being an easy case, after all!
Garth noted the other champions presence, he vaguely recalled Heimerdinger's comments about his assistant Rin. She always came up when they were speaking of engineering for flying machines. Judging from the wrecked glider there was a good reason behind it all.
"Pardon me, Rin, but how exactly did Rammus deal this kind of damage?" Garth asked the Inventor's assistant, and thus taking the initiative. The question had yet to be answered, and it was better to know than to be left out. Not to mention, this would be good practice for the future when he was a sheriff or detective of some city-state.

"Gee, Cait. Do you know anythin' about me? I may be an annoyance to some, but I never hurt people.
Sure it may cause a bit o' ruckus, but my pranks never cause anythin' worth callin' a crime. At best, whomever my target is has to do a bit of cleanin' up around the house or... sober up."
Fizz laughs, shaking his head and looking at the new person on the scene. Another "officer of the law"? Ha, this was getting more and more amusing.
"And again, I've done nothin' here. So, I don't think you got anythin' that can keep me here if I want to leave. But, I told Rin here I'd help out if I can, and I'll be here in case she needs that help soon."
Post by The Sheriff of Piltover on Jun 5, 2013 11:40:31 GMT -5
Caitlyn frowned. "Those 'harmless' pranks can hurt people even if you don't mean it. If a city wide 'prank' will be made, you better watch your scaly back. Otherwise, as long as I don't get reports you are free to do as you please. Welcome to Piltover."
Caitlyn turned to Garth. "It is obvious that he powerballed around in here. But judging the trails I don't think it was on purpose. Was it on accident, Rammus? Or maybe you were pushed to do that? Either way, regulations force me to keep you in check. You can either stay with someone I can trust, or in the PDP prison cell. I can have an officer walk with you around in Piltover but I must forbid you to leave the city." Caitlyn turned to Rin again, still waiting for the young Yordle's answer.

While Caitlyn and Garth interrogates Rin and Fizz, Rammus could remember the crazy event that happened on that day, starting from a kid's birthday bowling party.
-----------------------------------------------
Rammus is late for a kid's birthday party. Pressed for time, Rammus takes a quick look at the map to the kid's birthday party, looks around to see if there's any large gathering of humans and yordles, concludes that there's little to none, and transforms into a ball and quickly accelerates to massive speed.
The kid himself is a massive fan of the Armordillo and Rammus was nice enough to answer back. But several unrelated events and procrastination has Rammus rolling against time, especially that his party is in a bowling alley. He loves to bowl.
Rammus approaches to one of the intersections and uncurls himself at one of the sidewalks. He looks at the map, wondering if he's lost or if he's close, and then at the clock. Rammus is really late! No time to waste. Any more minute now and there would be one more sad child in Piltover. He takes a quick glance at the map and immediately spots a shortcut that he could take to the birthday party. Without haste, Rammus quickly stuffs the map inside his shell and curls himself to pick up speed and lost time.
But the shortcut leads through one of Piltover's massive carnivals.
They spiked gyroball runs through a carnival and the panicked people starts to leap to the sides for cover. Rammus himself doesn't know what's going on actually; he's too concerned about the kid's birthday party! But one wrong sharp turn has the gyroball going out of control. The ball crashes into one object to another, though a wall, and through another! Market places wrecked, walls smashed with holes in the wall, and the Yordle Academy of Science and Progress' very own entrance sign vandalized! Now it just says "Yo ca pro".
Then the spiraling gyroball approaches the hangars...
That was the last time he remembers before the spiraling gyroball temporarily knocks him out. Now he's at the hangar, responsible for damages done at the hangar...and some other stuff he could easily blame Fizz on. But the point is now he missed the kid's birthday party.
((Sorry guys, I got BOMBARDED with work and commissions this week. BACK A LITTLE ON TRACK.. SORT OF.))
Rin was listening and chuckling between Fizz and Caitlyn.
"It's true, Fizz, your pranks can be pretty hectic. I was hearing word you did something ELSE recently? I don't know where, but rumor was it was a pretty big bang..."
She folded her arms, her ears sinking slightly to remember what she heard other champions saying on the battle field as she passed them while helping Heimer set up. Her ears twitched slightly at Garth's question to her, however. "You... who are you?" Examining his garb more, she looked back up to him. "A detective in training? Yeah, sorry to say, you might want to check the place out more.. see the shredding? Rammus spikes all the way."
She finally turned to Caitlyn, now with a glint of excitement, despite it being destroyed. "Oh, this?! This is my fantastic glider!.......Well, was. It's wrecked.... I deflected Rammus with it, else I'd be toast too. I have to get the shell replaced.. but I think I can salvage most of the interior. It's a compact little thing, it is, but fantastic! Works off the natural aether around us all!"
She wiggled with anticipation. She had to fix this! The festival of flight would not wait on her, and she was still working out some backfiring kinks in her current design.
"So, what should we do? We can't get an idea out of Rammus... but...well..." Rin looked at where Rammus crashed in. "We could follow his tracks down the road, see where he came from. Why would the armordillo come into Piltover, anyways? There has to be a reason..." She jabbed with her index finger to wake him from his dazed thinking state.
"All I want, is answers, a home, and my glider fixed... and for no more crazy ideas, please." Rin whined slightly at the end of her sentence while staring at Rammus.

Fizz looks at Rin and laughs, continuing to grin.
"If that's about what happened in Bandle when I last was there and Gragas happened to be there, there's no proof that I did it, so don't go sayin' it was me without proof."
He then turns to look at Rammus and the tracks the Armordillo had made.
"Well, I don't know what I could do aroun' here at yer hangar, but yeah, let's see where those tracks lead huh? It's not like you'll get more than three words outta Rammus in one sentence."
Post by The Sheriff of Piltover on Jun 23, 2013 8:18:22 GMT -5
Caitlyn nodded. She was thinking about it all along but wanted to question witnesses first.
"Yes, we all heard about the "incident" in Bandle. Good thing most of the facilities of utility are guarded by highly trained officers here.
Garth, stay here and learn what you can. I'm giving you permission to ask nearby residents. Rammus, you should come too if you want to clear your name." Caitlyn said, as she took out a form and filled it, then handed it to Garth, signed.

Garth just shook his head, apparently today was the day he was going to get told the obvious. Apparently digging for facts from witness comes after investigating the scene. The detective in training merely sighed before taking the form from Caitlyn.
Garth read the form before turning to Rin and Fizz, " First of all, my name is Garth Marxian and as you said, Rin, I am a detective in training. Now then, while it is clear of how Rammus caused this damage, I would still like to know about what was going on before the accident." The young man said as he took out a pencil to write down the story of what happened.
"So what was going on before the Rammus caused this damage?"

Heimerdinger couldn't even utter his next word when the word of the Sheriff essentially announced her presence behind him. Wheeling around, he simply nodded at Caitlyn along with a simple 'Sheriff' when she addressed him, and, turning back, then actually began to inspect the damage done by Rammus, bringing his focusing lens down to see if there was anything of value he specifically had in mind that didn't want damaged.
From seeing both the Tidal Trickster and the Armordillo, he wasn't sure who was responsible for the outcome; it could have been both. The Trickster tried to clear itself of any wrongdoing, but the title was enough to make him suspect of Fizz regardless.
He was quiet for some time, and so seemingly went under the notice of the others for the duration of their conversing, when from the other side of the hangar, a rather loud, somewhat anguished squeak seemed to emanate.
"Oi, no! This cannot be!..."
"All... my... time... effort..."
"...WHO DID THIS?!"Heimerdinger shouted to the group, having returned from his small foray; his face was quite red, and one could almost think steam rose out of his normally golden, now orangish hair. In his right palm, he was holding out a small, rather intricate device.
All that could be determined from it for anyone who didn't know what it was - and that description fit everybody save the Inventor himself and his assistant - was that it was clearly broken: it was broken cleanly in half along the middle, the zagged line indicating where the parts normally attached to each other.

Fizz looks up at Garth, blinking from down towards up, which would look extremely odd to those not used to the Trickster.
"Well, for one thing, I only came around AFTER, this whole... ordeal happened. I guess I was the first one to find the "scene" o' sorts."
He grins and spins the trident in his hands for a moment before using it to scoop a wide-brimmed hat, the one he wore when first appearing at the hangar, and flipping it on to his head.
"So, I s'pose whatever happened, only Mister-One-Word over there knows."
He points at Rammus with the blades of the trident before placing it against his shoulder as Heimerdinger makes himself known again.
"Don't ask me, o' Inventor. As I said to the "hand o' the law" here, I came here after the damage was done.
B'sides, even if y'all don't believe me, if I had done somethin' like this, and I DO NOT break people's stuff carelessly, why would I stick around in the view of everyone? I could've easily left way before any o' ya arrived, and none o' ya would've been the wiser."

((I should be more attentive. I'm sorry. ._.))
While the officials are figuring out what the heck has happened here, Rammus turns his head to the left and to the right, apparently searching for something.
He waddles into a nearby pile and carefully search through the mess. While the officers, yordles, and fish brain continue to discuss how Rammus destroyed everything, two peculiar pieces of paper catch his eye. It is an invitation paper and a letter from the birthday boy's mother to Rammus himself, prompting him to go.
He picks it up and waddles back to Caitlyn to present her the invitation letters.
((I won't write down what the letter says. Just know what it's asking.))

((Okay ))
Caitlyn turned to Heimerdinger who was strangely looking like a tomato. "Heimerdinger I can't understand what you are talking about. What is this contraption you're holding?" Caitlyn said, walking towards the inventor.
Then, Rammus got her attention. She looked at the invitation and the letter. Revelation came into her. "So what you are saying is, that you were on the way to the boy's birthday party? Looking at the hour here you were late when you hit Rin's hanger so I'm guessing you powerballed towards it, no?"

Heimerdinger opened his mouth to vent his nearly limit-breaking anger at the Sheriff when she turned to face the Armordillo.
Surprisingly, the loss of attention seemed to remove almost all of his momentary frustration; his face immediately returned color, and he gave a dejected sigh as his electric-charged hair seemed to discharge in the form of some odd steam.
"I... will wait until I can have you attention, Sheriff."
"However... Rin, if I may have your attention for just a moment, please. This has become a bit more serious now..." He then called over to his assistant, waiting for her to respond.
