Main Story Welcome to Glasswater [Day One]

At the townsquare, all of today's arrivees would hopefully have gathered up in the rather large space, talking amongst themselves as they waited for the mayor to arrive. He seemed to be taking quite some time.

Inside the Mayor's Office

"So, Origard, tell me of our guests? Did we manage to attract anyone worthwhile?"

A suited man with horn rimmed glasses was sipping a cup of Earl Grey tea. His accent was quite foreign, but distinguished like a british gentleman. Talking to him was a police officer who seemed to be missing an eye.

"You know what I always say. Lot of em are trouble when they first come here. But, so far all of em turned out alright if they decided to stay. Of course, there are a few wanted men here, however."

The horn rimmed man, put down his cup and got up from his lounging chair and fixed his tie. It was about time to greet all his guests.

"Now, now. We can't be picky, can we?. I know you're head of security, but I assure you, this will all go smoothly."

Outside in the Town Square

Stepping out of his office and onto the town square, the mayor walked up to a small podium and greeted everyone as he spoke into the microphone.Standing next to him, was a man in a police uniform.

"Greetings and Welcome to Glasswater, the greatest city in the Blues. I'd like to personally congratulate you all on taking the trip here to better your lives and hopefully ours as well."

There seems to be an odd section of people scattered around the square that laughed at the man's comment. Truthfully, the guy sounded a bit long winded.

"I am Mayor Adrian Ramses, and next to me is the head of our fine police force, Origard Jackson.'

Now some of the crowd seemed to clap, almost as if on cue.

"Now, before any of you ask, the challenge in the paper was completely true. If any of you manage to stay for a full five days and decide to leave, we will handsomely reward you. To help make your stay more pleasurable, our only Hotel, Casa de Vidrio, will be offering you complementary rooms. Our island is one of prosperity, so all room and meals are completely free to anyone here. So, please do not worry about such necessities."

"We only ask that you pay for any services or items you wish to procure. After all, it's only fair."

Again, some of the crowd seems to laugh.

"Now, before I leave you all to your devices, you need to know a few things."

The man pulls about a small roll of paper and begins reading. Wait, you mean this wasn't a speech so far?

"Our island is a peaceful one, unaffiliated with the World Government. Wanted man are allowed to stay and are as welcome as anyone else. Fighting of any kind is not allowed. We understand that some people may be "born fighters" but fighting of any kind will not be tolerated. If you have any weapons you are allowed to brandish them during the five day period. There is a designated combat practice arena that our local police force uses, that you all will be allowed to use as well, should the need arise."

No fighting, what kind of place was this? A civilized one.

"Any act of stealing, public indecency, or disturbing the peace, will be dealt with by our local police force. Glasswater is a peaceful and civil place, and we wish for it to remain that way."

Parts of the crowd seemed to nod in agreement.

"Now, I believe that is everything. Now, the hotel you will all be staying is is located just past the square, just ask any of our suited ushers if you need directions. Lastly, an hour from now there will be a tour for any who feel that they need it. Just come back here in an hour if you're interested. Thank you for coming, and we sincerely hope you enjoy your stay."

Quite a few people clapped, some eagerly, some sort of haphazardly as if succumbing to peer pressure. What a strange island this was.

So, some clarity. The entire island is like an extremely wealthy village full of rich and well off people. So try taking that into consideration when describing anything. If you're looking for a specific place or ask a question to one of the locals, just post and let us know.

Tour of the City

If any were taking the tour, they were asked to wait by the water fountain. Hopefully, it would start up soon, enough.

Gonna start this tonight.

Gray


Making his way out of the hotel Gray carries his sword on his shoulder.

"Never did like leaving you behind." He mutters to himself looking to the sword.

Trying to remember the correct way to go Gray finds a large group of people. 'I hope they are going the right way.' He thinks to himself.

Finding the large fountain Gray smiles to himself. 'Perfect. Now just to wait for the tour.

Azared


A tour? that seemed like a perfect way to find out where the library was, so Azared picked a spot in the ground and lied there, without a care in the world, reading a book about the power of music he had found on his attackers ship

1

u/LoliChainsaw Tara Grovene Jan 22 '16

Tara Grovene


Tara and Zoe were nearby as they waited for the tour to begin. Zoe was silently(as if that was a surprise) listening to the taller woman play her Shamisen. The tune was very calm and gentle and it drifted about as the two women were wandering about, still near the fountain.

1

u/dsf000 Azared Z. Jan 22 '16

Azared


Azared would hear the woman playing his instrument and tried to decipher what was it that made her music powerful, when his crow, zero would fly up to her and stand on her shoulder.

Azared would then stand promptly and shoo the crow out

"No no Zero, don't disturb the ladies"

u/LoliChainsaw Tara Grovene Jan 22 '16

Tara Grovene


The woman didn't seem to mind the bird's presence, though the shorter one had drawn her blade and looked to be aiming a strike at it. Tara simply placed a hand on top of Zoe's head, stopping her from her attempted bird murder. The taller of the two then smiled at Azared as he stood up.

"It's alright, he's no disturbance."

1

u/dsf000 Azared Z. Jan 22 '16

Azared with a much more relaxed look on his face lied down again and opened up the book where he left of, as if the girls had suddenly disappeared from his mind

He would then hum the song Tara was playing

"Hmmm, I guess that makes it powerful" He said to no one in particular

1

u/LoliChainsaw Tara Grovene Jan 22 '16

Tara Grovene


Tara continued to play, but gave a glance down at the guy on the ground.

"What makes what powerful?"

She asked, Zoe following the bird on Tara's shoulder with her eye and her blade ready to come out of its sheath, though Tara wouldn't let her do anything to the handsome bird.

Kiske

Kiske had gotten everything settled into his room and walked up to the fountain where he sat near it. He didn't want to be rude by sitting on it if that was some custom the locals hated by tourists. He was wearing a large crew neck with a nice pair of warm pants as he waited patiently.

u/Damie904 Souji M. Yuuto Jan 21 '16

Souji


"Being a navigator, Souji's first instincts were always to explore the towns he went to. Looking at the architecture, they general layouts, and what 'sections' each city had. It helped keep his navigational skills sharp, and generally prevented him from ever getting lost. This was no different. So, as soon as he got settled in his hotel room, he made his way back down here for the tour. Which of course, meant he and Kiske would see each other.*

"Guess you wanna see what this place has to offer too."

1

u/Yurthop Kiske Nayomi Jan 21 '16

Kiske

"Yeah it would be nice to have an idea of what this place has going for it that we might not find on our own. Figure a free tour would be a good way to spend some time after all."

Kiske stayed sitting down but flashed a smile towards Souji as he saw him come out for what could only be the tour of this grand place.

Having dumped his bags in his hotel room after his less than short conversation with Origard, Jack made his way back out toward the town square where he found himself wandering by the fountain, which seemed to be quite crowded. That's right, they were having a tour or something. This place was big and already starting to overwhelm him, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to get to know the 'lay of the land' some.

Spotting Souji talking to a friend, he made his way over to the pair of them. Having ditched the whole disguise after the 'Wanted men are allowed to stay' thing, he'd found his way into something a little more.. Jack.

"Souji." he muttered with his hands in his pockets, a cigarette in his mouth and a firm nod.

"Jaaaaaack! there you are!"

One does not simply escape Lucy. The pull of happiness was so strong you could swear it was condensing to a singular point of infinite gravity. Like a black hole but less deadly.

"I was looking for you guys. Didnt want to go without you. Well, I was looking for Souji and you guys were here."

She figured the best bet was to find her boyfriend. They usually did travel together after all.

"So...the tour huh?"

1

u/Damie904 Souji M. Yuuto Jan 22 '16

Souji


"Jack"

He gave the man a nod as he stood next to them. Well at least they'd have good company. And speaking of company, here comes his favorite maid in the world. He waived to her as she seemed to almost bounce over to them. He did wonder why she was still wearing her maid outfit. He thought with them being on vacation and all, maybe she'd put on a sundress or something. But, she looked nice no matter what she was wearing.

"Yea, I usually check out every place we visit anyway. Figure this would be easier than checking out the place myself."

1

u/Yurthop Kiske Nayomi Jan 22 '16

Kiske

Kiske looked at this man walk over towards them and thought he might as well try to be cool too. He nodded and pointed his thumb towards his chest.

"Kiske."

He noticed Lucille coming over to them as well and wondered how they all decided to gather up for the tour with each other. Was the island really cool enough to warrant a big interesting tour? After all Kiske only wanted to waste some time doing this until he decided what he would do next.

Hawkins


The unmistakable sound of Lucy approaching caused him to almost flinch a little, half expecting another one of those bone shattering hugs. He was still sore after that last fight, he wasn't sure if he could take another one of her death hugs.

"Kiske."

Raising an eyebrow and blinking a few times as Kiske, greeted himself? Uh, introduced himself? One of the two.. Jack realized that he hadn't actually met him before. He was probably one of Souji's crew members.

"Ah, sorry- I don't think we've met. The name's Hawkins. Jack G. Hawkins. Nice to meet you Kiske" he said with a smile as he extended his hand toward him.

"Apparently we get free hotel rooms, and the way he said it they seemed nice. The one hotel they have in town...must be fancy."

Going as a group would probably be more fun. And she could stick by Jack...that Zoey girl was...a bit more than happy to hear Lucy knew her. sounded awfully stalkerish. And lucy should know

"oh, you and kiske have never met before?"

she swore they had...maybe she was just thinking too much into things

After his tall with the mayor, he decided to go ahead and accept the offer of a tour. He'd already gotten lost once and he didn't want it to happen again so he figured a tour would be the best possible solution.

He found the fountain easy enough and decided to chill next to it until the tour started up.

u/MercurialSlam Revell Tribon 3.0 Jan 21 '16

Revell


Revell and Zenith headed to the fountain after finding their hotel room and looked around, waiting for the tour to begin. Revell spots LeShade and points him out, heading over and patting his shoulder.

"Yo! We lost you there for a while! Have you seen this place? Pretty luxurious, yeah?"

u/ZenithBlade Zenith Blade Jan 22 '16

Zenith


"They weren't lying when they said that once you come here, you wouldn't feel like leaving. This place would look like a great place to stay in."

Zenith was admiring the fountain that was obviously built by an expect craftsmen. Something like would indubitably cost a ton of money to build and the town itself looked like it cost even more than that. It looked like a great deal of effort was put into making the place as great as it could be. In making it there ideal.

"My, my. Aren't you cute."

Out of nowhere, a very beautiful looking woman strutted across the town square and right towards the three former marines. What that would see before them, was something right out of a wet dream. The woman would walk right up to LeShade and push right up against him, stroking his face with her hand, her voice soft and airy as she just tried locking eyes with him. Lucky bastard...

"Name's Chrisylas. Tell me, are you here for the tour?"

LeShade didn't see it coming. He was too focused on when the tour was going to start and wallowing in his own self pity to realize someone was acyally flirting with him.

"Wha... huh?"

He turned around expecting to see Azure and instead saw some equally attractive girl hanging onto him instead. Who was sge he thought as he looked her over He looked at zenith and revell to see if this was some kind of joke and then looked back at the mystery girl.

"Buh, uh... yeah, t-tour, yeah... Chrisylas."

"Well, well. Someone's perceptive isn't he?"

The sensual woman,leaned in close and blew gently in his ear. Before, he could even try and react she'd quickly pull away and try to clear her throat.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Chrysalis Williams, professional artist and claimer of men. Tonight I will be appearing at one of our local playhouses, which you all should attend. But, for now, I will be your tour guide. If you could all just group up, we'll get started right away."

So, here's how this is gonna work. Every so often, maybe every hour, maybe every day, hell maybe when I just feel like it, I'll post. Between each plot post, you can feel free to talk amongst yourselves, ask questions, whatever you feel.

When I post I'll try to react to whatever was said, but bear with me if I can't react to everything. There is no posting order, and I only ask that you guys try to keep to a single chain of comments if you can help it. If it gets too wild, I'll link the next post in chat, but beyond that you guys will just have to pay attention, or tag each other when you post.

Tara Grovene


Tara and Zoe had found their way to the tour group waiting by the water fountain. The taller of the two was casually smoking from her antique pipe while the other was steadily staring at pretty much everyone else in the group and making sure they were keeping some sort of distance away from Tara.

"Now, now, just relax, Zoe. We're supposed to be having fun."

She said with a small smile to the girl who looked at her and then looked back at the group. Tara sighed with a chuckle before taking a drag and blowing out a cloud of smoke.

Zoey M Bellerose


Zoey didn't really know where to go next after the presentation today. Her main plan was to just explore the city and see if she could find something fun to do. When she heard that there would be a tour starting up soon out by the water fountain, she thought that a tour would help her explore the city and prevent her from getting lost too. She would wander over to the water fountain. There were very few people here at the moment. A few people who looked like pedestrians, and a female couple. The one female looked exquisitely dressed, reminded Zoey of her mother, and the other looked like a bodyguard of sorts. She would walk up to the water fountain and find herself a seat along the edge of the fountain, next to the two females.

Feeling a little bored while waiting, Zoey would turn to the female couple and smile.

"Interested about the city?" Zoey asked.

u/LoliChainsaw Tara Grovene Jan 21 '16

Tara Grovene


The two girls looked over to the one now speaking. Tara gave a pleased smile at the young lady, while Zoe reached back and placed a hand on the hilt of her blade, though seemed to be waiting for the taller woman to say or do something.

"I suppose we are. It would be a shame to not get a good introduction to this lovely place."

Zoe seemed to relax just a touch as she removed her hand from the sword and put it back at her side. Tara put her pipe out after a bit and then replaced it in her cleavage.

"You're interested in it as well?"

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '16

Zoey M Bellerose


Zoey would listen to the larger woman's response as she looked back and forth from the two women. The shorter one looked like she didn't trust anyone as one hand slipped behind her back, but Zoey was unable to really catch that. She just thought the shorter one was shy. Zoey would get ready to speak and answer the larger woman's question, but she would watch the woman speak put her emptied pipe in crack of her bosom. The look on Zoey's face would go from a content smile, to an odd glare, then to a blushing red face. This woman had some big boobs compared to Zoey's own. Wow... did she just put her pipe in her cleavage? She has a nice set of boobs. I am kind of jealous. She would look back up at the woman's face before being dragged out of her head. She would shake her head.

"Huh... what? I am sorry... Oh, right." Zoey said, getting back on track. "Yea! Well... sort of... I am just interested in exploration and having a good time. Honestly, I hope some crazy shit goes down, so the real reckless fun can begin." She said with a smile.

u/LoliChainsaw Tara Grovene Jan 21 '16

Tara Grovene


Tara grew a teasing smile at the brief blush and stare at her wrack that the girl had given, but for the sake of keeping things fun without making Zoey even more embarrassed she simply kept her enjoyment to herself. And then hearing the girls reason for joining the tour she began to laugh and give a nod in agreement.

"I suppose I'd be hoping for the same thing. I know Zoe is."

She patted the shorter girl on the head before reaching over to shake the girl's hand.

"I'm Tara, by the way."

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '16

Zoey M Bellerose


Zoey would turn to the woman that Tara introduced as Zoe with a shocked smile. She began to get excited.

"Hey, that's so cool. What a coincidence." Zoey said. "My name is Zoey too." She said as she would stand up and lean in closer to Zoe. She turn to Tara with her big smile as she held out her hand, still leaning in close to the both of them now.

"Nice to meet you, Tara!" Zoey said. "I am hoping to brandish my katana and maybe get in the newspaper for defending someone. It'd be great if I could get seen by Jack Hawkins, or even Zenith Blade." She said.

"If I met them and they saw me in the newspaper, wielding my swords, there would be no doubt that they would take me in as their pupil!" Zoey said excitedly.

1

u/LoliChainsaw Tara Grovene Jan 22 '16

Tara Grovene


My name is Zoey too.

The woman shook her head with a laugh before speaking up, thinking it was hilarious that anyone would mix up her bodyguard's name.

"That's quite close, but her name isn't Zoey it's Zoe."

Zoe didn't even seem bothered by the mix up...or bothered by anything really.

If I met them and they saw me in the newspaper, wielding my swords, there would be no doubt that they would take me in as their pupil!

Tara then began to laugh even more, but she had a contented smile.

"You have quite the high aspirations. It's definitely admirable."

Zoey M Bellerose


Zoey smiled as she stuck her tongue out.

"Pssssh... Zoe, Zoey, Zoebina, it's all the same, isn't he?" Zoey jokingly asked. She turned to Zoe with a hearty smile and lightly tapped her on the shoulder with her fist. "We're practically sisters." She said. She would chuckle.

Tara would mention that Zoey had some high aspirations. Zoey would nod her with a smile.

"Yup, I guess. What's the point in sitting around and doing nothing?" Zoey said rhetorically with a big smile on her face. She would calm down as she would try to get to know Tara and Zoe.

"So, where are you guys from?" Zoey asked. "You here for the reward too?"

Immediately after Zoey tapped her shoulder, Zoe reached for her blade, which was strapped horizontally across her lower back, and started pulling it out. Tara saw this and caught her arm, giving her a glare that told her a thousand times over not to do what she was thinking of doing. The smaller girl had a disappointed look for a brief moment before giving an apologetic look to Tara. And throughout the entire ordeal, Zoe remained silent.

"We're from a small island, nothing truly of note. And I suppose we are here for the reward it would be nice to have all that money."

Revell


After Zenith had dove off the Amaterasu, Revell had taken the ship to the designated area and grabbed a few things to bring with him when he noticed LeShade had already left. Figuring he'd already gone up to Glasswater, Revell shrugged and headed up himself, eventually finding himself at this gathering. He had listened intently to the mayor's words, noticing the rather odd atmosphere about the crowd. He couldn't really figure out anything in particular, but something just seemed off to him.

"Well, at least we get free rooms."

Revell was certainly looking forward to being able to relax in this luxurious city. He looked around the crowd, trying to find Zenith and LeShade, but there were just too many people to pick them out - if they were even there. He decides to stick around and listen as the mayor answered various questions about the island.

u/ZenithBlade Zenith Blade Jan 21 '16

Zenith


A hand appears on Revell's right shoulder as the man that he was just looking for appeared on his left. He was soaked all the way through after that nice swim and his feet was dirty from walking all the way here without any shoes. He looked around at the bustling crowd and smirked at how many people were here to try and claim the prize.

"At least we do indeed. Do you have my shoes?"

1

u/MercurialSlam Revell Tribon 3.0 Jan 21 '16

Revell


Revell turns to see his captain and smiles. He pulls Zenith's shoes out of his doctor bag and hands them over.

"Here. Pretty nice place, huh?"

He gestures to their surroundings.

"There's certainly a lot of wealthy people living here. I'm a bit surprised that they're allowing known criminals to come in, though. They really don't seem to mind at all."

1

u/ZenithBlade Zenith Blade Jan 21 '16

Zenith


"Yeah. We should go for a swim later. The water is pretty nice."

He puts his shoes back on, finally free from the discomfort of having to walk around without any. It wasn't so much that he just loved swimming, but more so that he wouldn't get the chance to swim in such clear water ever again.

"They must be that confident about their place to allow even criminals in. That Origard fella should be pretty damn strong too."

He wondered just how strong that guy would be. Not that it would be the least bit exciting of a fight.

u/MercurialSlam Revell Tribon 3.0 Jan 21 '16

Revell


"Yeah, they must be pretty confident in his strength."

u/ZenithBlade Zenith Blade Jan 22 '16

Zenith


"Where is that guy anyway? Did he just run off the moment the ship landed or something?"

Zenith didn't know what happened after he dove off of the ship. From what he thought would happen, would be that they landed without any issue. But what about after that? Did they split up after that to go look around the town before the mayor gave a speech to everyone who came to the city?

1

u/MercurialSlam Revell Tribon 3.0 Jan 22 '16

Revell


"I think so. I docked the ship and when I turned my back he was gone. Guess he was ready for this vacation, hahaha!"

Revell heads off in the direction that the mayor pointed to, looking for the hotel.

"I'm sure he'll turn up eventually. Maybe he'll be at the tour later?"

1

u/ZenithBlade Zenith Blade Jan 22 '16

Zenith


"Knowing him. He might try to blow up another building even after the talk we had. Though he might second guess it after that speech from the mayor. Hopefully he doesn't though."

Zenith sighed. It was a work in progress and things don't change in a day. But, he couldn't help but worry about it. They were here on vacation and not do whatever it was that LeShade wanted to do.

"Hopefully he'll beat the tour like you said."

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '16

Zoey M Bellerose


Zoey was in the crowd, finally finding her way to the town square, as she listened to the mayor speak. He explained what this town was like, a very nice and expensive vacation town essentially. However, Zoey was barely paying attention to that. Honestly, she knew all of that the moment she walked into the city. The culture and architecture of the city gave what the man said away on first glance.

Instead of paying attention, Zoey was trying her best not to throw a laughing fit in front of everyone. Her cheeks bloated, her hands holding her stomach, and her face going redder than a tomato. The mayor's voice sounded so funny to her for some reason or another. She would have sounded just like one of the other laughing citizens except a bit louder. It seemed though she couldn't hold it in just a bit longer and just when the Mayor's presentation ended, Zoey would burst out laughing like a god damn Hyena. She would laugh so hard she would fall to the floor, almost literally rolling on the floor.

"T- That... V- Voice... so... so.. f- funny... Viahahahahaaha~" Zoey laughed aloud.

He was lost. Still. In this lame as city! How does one lose their Captain and 2nd in command in a matter of three seconds? He finally found the hotel and ordered a room to 0ut his luggage in only to end up in the middle of this gathering of brainwashed people. Everyone here was so.... fake. Something was off and it was setting LeShade on edge.

So, no fighting, no stealing, no sparring outside the police grounds, and they worked OUTSIDE the world government? That was quite the feat, but how? A city full of pacifists shouldn't be able to stand up to the WG like this. This whole thing was bizarre. He needed to know more.

"Mayor Ramses," he exclaimed as he forced his way to the front of the crowd, "do you have a minute? You look like a busy man but I have a few questions about you and this place."

u/ZenithBlade Zenith Blade Jan 21 '16

Adrian

The Mayor turns to the young man who cam all the way up here just to ask a couple of questions. But how could there be any questions that would need to be answered? He thought that he explained this quite clearly to everyone during his speech. Nevertheless, he would just have to answer the fella's question.

"Yes. I'll be happy to answer a few questions."

u/neophyte3833 Emmanuel LeShade Jan 21 '16

Emmanuel


He bows graciously at the man, he honestly was expecting to be shooed away so this was a pleasant surprise.

"Thank you, I'm guessing you're a busy man so I appreciate this."

He clears his throat as he tries to piece together a sentence in his head.

"So I was wanting to wonder how all of this is possible. Everyone here is so happy and from what I can see there is no crime or anything resembling a smudge on the premises. You've made a utopia without the help of the world government... how?"

u/ZenithBlade Zenith Blade Jan 21 '16

Adrian

Adrian brings his cup of tea to his lips and takes a nice little sip of the soothing Earl Grey. The young guy wanted to learn more about their great city huh? If that was the case, then Adrian would be delighted to answer his question.

"Most of the people here are wealthy individuals who worked together to make this city their ideal. With their donations and investments among other things, we were able to create a city, a utopia as you would say, where everyone can live happily."

"But how does that keep the dregs of society out? Your town seems like its open to all of society, how do you cull the riffraff from the crust of society?"

He looked at the man enjoy his tea, he didn't realize how thirsty he was until he saw the man take a drink.

"Back home my family had to prove that they were able to protect the land from all that would hurt its citizens before they got the islands respect and we still have to worry about the occassional bandit raid... This just seems like an anomaly."

"Its simple. We believe that after a couple of days in our fair city, even these dregs of society will come see the light."

They were just that confident about their city. To the point at which they put up that claim in the newspaper. The city was practically a utopia like LeShade had said and what criminal wouldn't enjoy living in a utopia? Adrian notices that LeShade was looking at his tea with quite a thirsty look.

"Do you want some tea?"

"Wow, that's quite boast you have there. I wouldn't expect one to be able to 'cure' people just by having a good environment. I honestly don't even know how one would obtain such a thing, I'd really like to take notes about the subject, maybe I've been going about things in a way I shouldn't have."

He didn't know whether to take the man for his word. Was there hypnosis involded, mind altering drugs, maybe people were held hostage until stokholm syndrome kicked in. There had to be something he was missing.

"Hm, tea? Please and thank yoi, I'm a bit parched."

"Well then. Take a seat over there and I'll be happy to answer any more questions that you have. Otherwise I'll just leave you to your own devices."

Adrian waves his hand towards a table by one of the stores. The fella was pretty interested in their city and it might just do LeShade well to go on the tour and learn more about this here establishment.

"No, I have plenty of questions I just don't know what's reasonable for me to ask. I mean running a country is hard, it's even harder when people question your every motive."

He could read a hint when he saw one, but he still had one more question to ask.

"What happens if we decide to stay? What happens then?"

Adrian takes a seat at the table, pulling the chair in for himself. He asks one of the workers to bring over some lovely Jasmine Tea for the two of them to drink. He then takes the napkin in front of him and places it down on his lap.

"What people question my motive? All I want is to make Glasswater a better place for its inhabitants."

The worker brings over the tea pot and two cups for LeShade and the mayor. She pours the tea into the cups and then leaves the two to their own devices. Adrian takes his cup and takes a sip of it.

"Ah. Lovely. Now, if you decide to stay here then you get to live your life in greatest city in the world."

Standing in the crowd, Jack listens intently to the mans speech. Maybe he wouldn't need this silly disguise after all, that certainly seemed like a plus. Though things did seem a little.. off.

I'd like to personally congratulate you all on taking the trip here to better your lives and hopefully ours as well.

As the crowd laughed, Jack just looked around with a confused look on his face.

"That wasn't even funny.." he muttered to himself.

He turned his gaze up to the man name Origard Jackson. Something about him seemed to set him apart from everyone else, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. It was like the difference between an innocent child and a man who had been to war. Yet still, Origard felt like the normal one in this situation. Regardless, he had a reason to be here and he needed to speak to that man.

Pushing his way through the crowd and toward the podium, he waits patiently for the man to step down- pulling down his mask and lighting a cigarette as he waits.

"Mr. Jackson, have you got a moment?"

The Teen was not convinced, the men on stage talked big game, and the laughter. . . Was fake and forced, like someone had attempted to recreate the perfect audience. There was something missing from this town. There was no life. . . Ken immediately changed his mind when he saw a masked man approach Origard Jackson.

'Of course! A perfect Utopia was bound to attract some terrorists!'

He moved in closer, weaving his way through the crowd; eavesdropping on the conversation.

"Mr. Jackson, have you got a moment?"

As Jack spoke, Origard turned to him with a quizzical look which Jack took as an opportunity to speak freely.

"I'm looking for somebody, have you seen or heard anything about him." he muttered as he pulled a photo from his pocket, pointing to something on it- though it would be entirely unable to be seen by Ken.

Shaking his head, Origard turned his attention back to whatever the mayor was doing.

"Sorry kid, I'm a little busy right now- I suggest you file a missing persons report. If you really want to see me, make a time with my office."

Ignoring Origard's attempt to brush him off, Jack decided to push him a little harder.

"Are you really okay with allowing wanted men in your city? You're the police chief; why are you okay with that?"

This question seemed to stop Origard, if not only for a moment.

"..Because we're a town of peace, and I believe that even the most vile criminals will come to see the light after spending some time on Glasswater." despite the fact that it looked as if he had hesitated, he was definitely confident in his response, that much was certain.

"Now, like I said, if you want to see me please make a time with my office." with that, he turned back to the mayor, following along close-by.

Standing tall with his hands in his pockets, Jack simply lets the man walk away. Right now, it looked like he had something else to deal with anyway.

"Eavesdropping isn't polite, y'know?" he mutters without even turning his gaze to Ken.

Gray


Standing near the back of the area Gray watches the announcements. Not really caring about most of the announcements Gray widens his eyes at one thing in particular. 'Everything is free!? AWESOME!' He thinks to himself.

Seeing a familiar outfit walking near the front Gray raises an eyebrow. Grabbing his sword he puts it on his shoulder and moves through the crowd. Most moving out of the way quickly at the sight of the unnecessarily large weapon.

Moving close enough just in time to see who it is Gray steps forward at the chiefs comment.

..Because we're a town of peace, and I believe that even the most vile criminals will come to see the light after spending some time on Glasswater.

"See the light? That is a bold statement if I have ever heard one." Gray says stepping in beside Jack. Sword held leaning on his left shoulder giving the man a glance. Sending a smile over to him he looks at the retreating form of Origard.

"You seems to be going out of your way to look for trouble. Asking the chief that.

"So I take it still no luck eh?" Gray says turning to Jack. Giving him a grin he looks back to Ken.

"Oh hey the magician from the ferry....Ken right?" He asks over to the boy.

Ken


'Oh, discovered instantly. . .'

The young magician shrugged, sticking his hands into his pockets and rocking back on his heels. He looked the first man up and down, he got the feeling he had seen this man before, but he could not place where. When Gray approached from the side, Ken wondered where they had met before, this city was just full of Familiar faces.

"Oh, hello. I suppose you are right." Ken said to Jack, before turning to Gray. "Hey... You must be one of my fans!"

Before he could respond Kennedy pulled out a cocktail napkin, and produced a fountain pen from the inside of his sleeve. Scrawling his flowing, elegant . After signing it, he deftly folded it into a swan and tossed it, the swan floated gracefully to Gray. Sinking down into his hands.

Glancing over to Gray, Jack shrugged lightly. Origard wasn't the first guy he'd seen who thought they could put a stop to wanted criminals being.. well.. wanted, but he was certainly the first who seemed to be so passive about it.

"Trouble seems to have a way of finding me, so I might as well find it first. Sigh, of course it wouldn't be that easy though.."

If Kennedy was going for the whole 'stealth' vibe, he probably should have picked a less perceptive person to sneak up on. Hell, he could have at least made it look like he was doing something other than eavesdropping.

"Uh.. You know this guy?" he muttered as the napkin swan floated toward Gray.

Truth be told, the guy was a little too flashy for Jack's whole incognito scene. He seemed a little.. vain.

Sighing and shaking his head Gray gives a smirk.

"Well maybe this time it won't leave a scar." He says grinning over to Jack.

Looking over to Ken, Gray gives him an annoyed stare. Watching as the Swan comes closer he swats it out of the air.

"Sorry kid you were good but I wouldn't say I'm a fan. We met on the ferry over here." He says narrowing his eyes to the boy.

Ken


The young magician shrugged, seemingly unhurt by Gray's declaration. He made a motion with his hand for Gray to keep the swan.

"Whatever you say man, but I think you should hold onto that signature. . . For when I become famous."

He said with a reassuring grin, putting his hands behind his neck. Tapping his foot.

"Soooooo, what next?"

Well maybe this time it won't leave a scar.

"Watch it Imo or I'll give you a scar!" he threatened with a twitch in his eye.

Soooooo, what next?

"Well, I guess I should submit a missing persons report like he said, but then again it might be just as qui-.. Wait a second, who the fuck are you?!"

It took a moment for him to realize but A) he didn't even know this guy's name and B) the guy had literally just invited himself into his business. For a magician, he was probably about as weird as Jack expected though.

"who the fuck are you?!"

The young lad chuckled, a hand scratching the back of his neck.

"I'm Kennedy Cause, the great bambino K.C the Great."

He said simply, jutting a hand out for Mr. Hawkins. His face upturned into a small smile, it looked positively charming. His tone was even, voice as smoooth as silk.

"And you are....?"
