The Fountain - Barton Barton Town is famous for it's main attraction, its Fountain square. The fountain is a free-standing arrangement where water issues from a source, fills a basin of some kind, and is drained away. Sheets of water flow over hewn stone and marble, imitating a natural cascade. One of the most common features of the fountain, if there is enough pressure, is a jet or multiple jets, where water is forced into the air under pressure to some height.

Masuyu gave a slight yawn as he stepped out on the ground around the fountain, too drowsy to pick up the sound of Alan's jeep speeding away, or Nascen stepping out aswell. He stood calmly, in silence, waiting for his team mate to address him as he felt to lethargic to take the initiative yet.

"So, Masuyu..."
Nascen pronounced the foriegn name clumsily; fully fluent in two languages, could change accents at will, but he couldn't do Japanese names. "You're ready to rock, right?" Nascen himself was humming a classic rock tune to himself as he checked the straps of his katars and subautomatic.

"Fo shizzle my nizzle...." Masuyu chirped back, his sense of alertness growing as the seconds past. He stood more erect now, straightening his bed stiffened back before adjusting the bracers of his power armor.

"Right. We'll check out this town first, then head west. We'll start with the arena." Nascen said, taking off at a quick jog on foot, humming to himself as he went.
"Jacknife, you're on the island, right? We're covering Barton Town. Search everything on the island, and come head East toward us as soon as you find anything, or if you find nothing. We'll search here and meet you half way.

"Kay..." he replied softly, glancing around the city as he decided where he would head. The library stood out for him, either to suit his alternative motive of learning, or as a possible shelter for later use; he couldn'd decide, but he moved towards it regardless.

And the Englishman came back. Nascen hardly glanced about as he ran to the fountain, pausing for a drink from it.

Stretching with a content sigh, he ran off toward the Barton Guild's, singing quietly aloud, giddy as a child for only one apparent reason; he'd pulled a candy bar out of his coat and apparently it was either really good or really sugary.

"Already there Alan...." Masuyu leaned over the fountain and scooped up some water, splashing his face gently with it and rubbing to free himself from the grasps of drowsiness. "Honk when you get here..."

Jacknife walked into the area surrounding the fountain. He snuck up untill he was about five feet behind Masuyu and shouted.
"HONK"

Suddenly, the spirit of excitement jumped from the shadows. "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" it exclaimed, chest pushed out in ecstatic glee.
With that, it moved on. It was a busy spirit, after all.

Jacknife's gun was already in his hand and a bullet flew through the air where the spirit had been.
"What the hell was that?"
"Nascen, theres something over here. Get to the fountain."

Masuyu jumped, throwing his hands up. A beam let loose from his hand, cutting through one of the statues adorning the center of the fountain. "Ack..." He turned aroudn to face Alan, who'd already drawn a gun and had aimed it into the air. "Huh? What's up?"

Nascen came in at a run, still humming, but not beaming like a kiddy any more.
"Where's our target now?"

"No idea, and thats just about a first for me. I dont lose track of things, but that thing just was there then it wasnt. I would be pretty worried if you hadent seen it too... I thought I may have been going nuts with this psychic stuff..."
He slid his gun back into it's place and looked around.
"Guess we have to find it again..."
