Origami has posed:
The call for a mopup was from this part of Central Park. Something about an explosion, a piece of horrifying graffiti, and a paper cow?

Miyako Moore sits on the nose of a giant paper airplane the size of a midsize car parked on a picnic table, playing on her phone patiently. There's something in back that's not visible from the most obvious directions to approach. A spotted origami cow the size of, well, a cow stands around next to her, peacefully grazing on nothing in particular and swishing its paper tail back and forth.

Lara Croft has posed:
Lara Croft arrived with members of her WAND team, in a SHIELD vehicle not too far away. Its lights were still flashing/strobing but there was no siren.

Approaching the person the large paper airplane. Lara's wearing a dark blue SHIELD jacket, unzipped, over a black tanktop and some black cargo pants with dark boots on her feet.

"Hello." She announces herself to Miyako. Her eyes scan over the paper airplane that the girl is seated on and then she looks back to her. "We were told something a little... unusual took place here?" Lara asks, her voice noticeably thick with a London England accent.

Origami has posed:
Miyako Moore hops off of the paper airplane. "Yes, ma'am. I had to clean up some.. things from someplace beyond. It was kind of noisy. The bits are in the cow." She gestures at the cow. "I can make it disappear when you're ready."

Miyako Moore then points at a munincipal garbage can that has been decorated with a demented piece of crazed graffiti, like a nightmare on a bad trip drawn by a cubist in late stage mental illness. It's.. kind of not comfortable for the sanity, and the texture looks wrong. Somehow. "They came through a.. graffiti thing that I don't know how to get rid of - I have a ward to keep it from doing anything, but that only works while I am close by. So, um... The police called for help."

Lara Croft has posed:
Lara takes a moment to let her eyes roam over it all. She bites down on her bottom lip as she listens to the girl and walks around the perimeter of whats going on here while just... eyeballing it, like a detective might at a crime scene. "Quite a thing." She softly comments. Her eyes look back to Miyako, she approaches and offers her hand from her right jacket pocket. "I'm Lara." She says to her.

"I think we have some members on our team who can maintain the ward for your in your absence." She adds with a faint smile while then looking to one of the men on her team who is dressed like an average SHIELD agent but is actually a magic usre all his own.

Origami has posed:
Miyako Moore smiles. "I'm Miyako. I go by Origami, but everyone knows who I am. I would shake your hand, but.." She holds up her scarred and mutilated hand, "It isn't really comfortable."

She frowns a bit and looks at the graffiti. "Alright. I have seen these before.. I don't know who is making them, but they have left these in the past. By the time I can notice them, they are long gone. What about the, um... monster pieces?"

Lara Croft has posed:
Lara glances down to the girl's hand to see that she doesn't wish to shake, and its understandable. With a soft smile of knowing, Lara lowers her right hand and puts it back into her jacket pocket. She's not a magician herself, by any means, but since being with SHIELD for a few years now she's come to be a more respected member of the WAND team, a Leadership-type.

Her eyes again glance to her associates as they're tending to the city waste bin that is the culprit of the magical mayhem here today and while her co workers tend to it, she looks back to Miyako.

"You wouldn't happen to be able to remember all the specific locations that you ran into these... symbols, would you?" Lara asks her then, softly tilting her head.

Origami has posed:
Miyako Moore hmms. "One was a burned out brick building. I actually turned that in to you, because it was a scroll. Police report.." She pulls out a printout and hands it over, "Right there. Another was a graffiti tree. That was destroyed by another mage."

Lara Croft has posed:
Lara gently nods her head to the other's words. "I see." She softly tells the young woman. Lara's eyes go down to the police report and she copies down some information off of it onto her phone so that she can call the record up once she's back in the office.

Its then that the other SHIELD workers get their own magics ready and they call over to the two women. "We're ready, you can drop your wards." One tells Miyako.

Lara is looking up to the girl then. "And you say that something came through the markings on the waste bin?" She asks.

Origami has posed:
Miyako Moore gestures at the trash can. The paper flower inside of it shrivels into crumpled paper. "Yes. A few monsters. About the size of a dog, very aggressive. Made out of.. something transparent. I could see eyes and mouths through the pieces. I ran them over some fire flowers and they shattered.. the pieces are in the cow." She points at the paper cow that is standing around placidly. "Things always like to come through those.."

Lara Croft has posed:
So while the mages of the SHIELD team with Lara are dealing with the waste receptical, Lara is moving over to this 'cow' to look it over. "Fascinating." She says quietly, scanning her eyes over it while listening to Miyako.

A moment later and she's putting her vision on to Miy herself. "We're lucky you were here then, huh?" She shows a brief but kind smile. "Everyone here was, for that matter."

Lara straightens up again and releases a light exhale. "Well, I guess we have a lot to look into here... We'll get this... Bewildering Bovine to a safer place as well."

Origami has posed:
Miyako Moore nods. "The cow goes away if it gets far from me too.. Everything I make does, mostly. It just seemed like litter, after I blew it up, but I could still see the eyes and mouths through the pieces..." She shudders visibly.

Miyako Moore pauses for a couple seconds. "The graffiti has a distinctive smell. I am always looking for things, and I notice them. And then... they aren't supposed to be here. They're... WRONG. And I don't know how to find the person who makes it. I don't even know HOW they make them."

Lara Croft has posed:
Lara draws in a breath at the words given and she tucks her phone back into her pocket. "Magic." She softly says. "It never fails to confuse and amaze, all at the same time." She speaks these words with a faint grin and a sidelong look toward Miyako.

"Thank you though, for everything you did here. Figuring out how and why they make these things is what we'll be trying to do next and in fact..." Lara moves to offer her business card, its just a simple white card with her name and contact information. "Should you stumble across more of this, please do reach out. We'll need all the help we can get from all the minds even remotely in-tune to these sorts of disturbances."

Origami has posed:
Miyako Moore nods. She takes the card and carefully puts it away. "I'm easy to find, just check with the fire station. They can find me. Or, you know. You can call. I miss some calls, though. The fire chiefs is probably faster sometimes."

She reaches in her bag and slips out a piece of paper, then writes her phone number on it. "Is there anything else I can do for you? I try to help where I can."

Lara Croft has posed:
Lara accepts the number when its handed over and she offers a faint smile in return. "Possibly." She tells the other. "Working for SHIELD in their... paranormal and magical division is often a test of everyone's abilities to adapt to strange situations as they develope. If you're up for a consultation position with the team, I'll put a good word in with the upper management and... who knows. But yes, SHIELD is a strange thing all in itself, and some people are afraid to go near it. So I won't fault you if you feel that way." she grins softly again.

Meanwhile, her team is preparing the storing of the items that they need to take with them in the vehicle that was driven over so that it was close-by for loading up. "The cow, you said that it has some items we might want also?" She then asks Miy.

Origami has posed:
Miyako Moore nods. "Yes. Do you have a tarp or something? Because they're inside, and if I end the cow, it will turn into a piece of paper and everything is going to fall out." She shrugs helplessly and pulls out another sheet of paper lightly. "Or should I make you one?"

Lara Croft has posed:
Lara grins to the young woman and shakes her head. "We have a tarp. Do not worry." She tells her. "I may not know magic, but I can certainly work with a tarp." And with that she's walking to the back of their SUV and moving toward a kit to retrieve it.

When she returns she begins to unfold it with the help of one of the three others with her. "If WE find out any information, I'll make sure to let you knwo to give you some peace of mind as well."

Origami has posed:
Miyako Moore gestures at the cow a bit and it wanders onto the tarp. Then she gestures at it and it suddenly implodes into a small piece of crumpled up paper, falling out of the air - along with a large pile of pastel colored shards of glass/cellophane/whatever through which you can see moving, angry, alien eyes of various sorts, with teeth and lips in place of eyelids. They look at you balefully.
