Detoxicated:
Look for the source of the voice
A silhouette, now fast asleep. His deep, even snoring continues for a few second, before rendered completely unclear by the gruff voice of a constable:
"My my, what do have here? It looks to me like a visual disturbance of the peace! Have you no decent shoes wear? It's all right, I'm sure someone left a pair behind in the holding cell. Why don't you take a look?"

If the voice is approaching me then: Run away in the other direction and try to go zig zag through the streets
If the voice is referring to the guy sleeping: Hide behind objects, trying to come closer to the constable

"hullo cousin." A friendly, meaningless platitude directed at the crow.

Not supposed to be here? Then i'd best do other things i'm not supposed to!

Prowl the Dam, trying to open doors to restricted areas and searching for valuables, all while trying not to be seen.

Detoxicated:
Sorry for the confusion. This should help:
Green Voice: Hobo, further down the alley. (Sleeping)
Blue Voice: Constable, entrance of the alley. (Sarcastic)
Essentially, you are between the hobo and the constable.

This did not count as an action.
I am still waiting for Nunzillor, so you may write a new action.

This fucking city.

Yeah, no.  Roll out of the car and run into a nearby building.  Do I have a cell phone?  If so, call the police once inside.

"Well good sir, I am sure that hobo sleeping down the alley could use a good cell if you ask me. He has been harassing people the entire night, I tried calming him down, but it just won't do. Furthermore I believe there is a problem with that taxicab over there..."

Mlamlah:
[8] You find a silver pocket watch left hanging on a water pipe in a room dedicated to half a dozen breaker boxes.
You hear movement from an adjacent room.
---
Nunzillor:
[7] You stumble out of the car, and run to cover in a nearby alley. The gunman gets out, but instead of pursuing, jumps into the driver's seat.
[7] You do not have a phone on you, but you do notice a constable running in your direction.
The taxi has not taken off yet.
---
Detoxicated:
[10] The constable looks in the direction of the taxi, and runs off without a word.
Note: Do not include knowledge your character would not possess in your actions. Your character did not know about the swerve or the gun.
Good rule-of-thumb: If it's not in the description of the action result, your character does not know of it.

"Officer, that asshole's stealing my cab!"  Sam grinned a maniac grin.  "Let's fuck him up!"

Wrench the door open and disarm the assailant.

Sorry guys, I had limited computer usage these past two days, and I hope I can determine action results tomorrow.

Nunzillor:
((Do our characters know that they can't die?  Or will they have to die first to find out?  If they know, I'll edit my action.))
All characters know they can come back to life.

Dunzillor:
"Officer, that asshole's stealing my cab!"  Sam grinned a maniac grin.  "Let's fuck him up!"

Wrench the door open and disarm the assailant.
[6] The officer ignores you and continues his approach towards the car.
[7] As you charge towards the car door, the taxi pulls away, leaving you and the officer in the dust.
[7] The officer fires at the getaway vehicle, hitting the back window.

Begin searching the area for valuables and weapons
Valuables: [10] You notice the sleeping hobo is wearing an engraved ring on his finger. [10] You figure it could be worth $100-200 if you cleaned it up.
Weapons: [6] You find an empty beer bottle.
---
Mlamlah:
Stuff the watch into my pocket and hide.
[9] You crouch down behind a small table, and pull a stool in front of your knees.
You hear the door opening, and you can see the shadow of someone standing on the threshold.

Sl4cker:
You find yourself standing on threshold, facing a room dedicated to half a dozen breaker boxes.
[10] You think you see a figure crouching behind a desk in the corner of the room.

Listen closely to the nearby noise, trying to pin it down. If it moves away, move to the breaker boxes and start flipping off switches. If it stays around, keep hiding.
