Durem Downtown
This is where the rich and famous like to shop. Famed stylists and stores have outlets in this section of town, and unless you're ready to pour tens of thousands of gold down the drain, it's best to just avoid this part of town.
Besides, there are plenty of shadowy alleyways in the Downtown area, and who knows who or what may be lurking to separate you from your wallet.

"Gotcha!"
Rage's exclamation didn't seem to impress the nearby bystanders, many of which were burning gold notes to light their cigars (ironically also made of gold notes). They were all staring at a man face-down on the ground, arms outstretched, with a crow hovering just above him with a feather in it's beak.
"..."
A few people nearby threw some gold coins at Rage before moving on.
((OOC Note: I know crows are incapable of hovering. Deal with it. scream ))

Owle, right behind him, tripped over Rage's legs and landed face down on top of him.
...fortunately, she caught herself before her full weight landed on his back.
"Ow! Rage!"
It took a moment for her to figure out what had happened, and even then she didn't get it right. "You know, you didn't have to jump after it..."

"I wasn't... trying to..." grumbled Rage, slowly getting up - even with Owle on his back. His foot actually caught on a pothole. Apparently everyone around here was too stuck up to drive an actual car, and so walked everywhere to show off how posh they looked.
How appropriate.
With Owle still holding on, Rage looked around. Didn't seem like there was anything going on....
"This place blows," he grumbled, even as the crow lighted on his right shoulder, pecking at the hole in his jacket.

And, suddenly, Owle heard a strange whine from behind her.
"Rage, did you hear that?" she asked. "It sounded like it came from the Strip..."
And before Rage could protest, she had gotten up and started walking back there.

Simply shrugging, Rage followed suit, grabbing the crow and stuffing it back into his pocket. "Stupid thing."

Downtown Durem
He loved this place
After all, it was his home. His place of residence was right across the street from the starbucks in which he would turn his bike. He entered the drive through, he didnt want to get off his bike - after all he was on the job and would probrably have to leave as soon as he got the call from the Circle of Justice. He would just grab something to sip on in the mean time.
He didnt even gaze at the menu that was illuminated before him, he owned the place and ofcourse he already knew what he wanted. The voice called out from the menu board from the speakers and Sieg would reply,"The usuall Charice.", and instantly the girl knew who he was. She replied 'Ofcourse Mr. Ecstuffuan', in a giddy kind of voice that made her sound like a teenager. In fact, she wasnt much older than she sounded.
"You want anything mayn, its on me.", he said to his partner Shiro.

"Lunch, would be nice...", he said.
He kept on gazing at the second marble, wondering what he could do with it.
"Sieg, you said that before that marbles aren't stable unless they come in threes, right?", he asked Sieg, showing him the second marble in his possession, keeping it from everyone else.
"What do you think?"

[tomosuke] "Lunch, would be nice...", he said. He kept on gazing at the second marble, wondering what he could do with it. "Sieg, you said that before that marbles aren't stable unless they come in threes, right?", he asked Sieg, showing him the second marble in his possession, keeping it from everyone else. "What do you think?"
"Order whatever you like...and I think the marble has to be in a person for them to become completly stable. Well the guy back at the Circle told me that, but Im not sure about the 'having to be in a person' part, thats just a shot in the dark.", Sieg said. The bike still rumbled as they sat in front of the bright menu with the woman waiting for the mans order.

"Do you guys have steak? Medium-rare, tenderloin and big.", he asked, not really caring about the menu.
His eyes then focused on Sieg. This guy was a good fighter, yet he was still human.
"Sieg, don't you have a gym near here?", he asked, knowing that his gym was near a starbucks branch.

"They dont have steak but they have this sandwhich made with Slow cooked Dragon meat thats excellent and it wont take as long for them to cook. Though portion isnt big, this is a starbucks after all, but with it being dragon meat...a small portion is all your gonna be able to handle.
Hey we will get one Jade Dragon Club.", Sieg then listened to him speak about his gym. He would immediatly lift up his left arm and then point across the street to the huge complex with its own parking garage and apartment complex."You mean that one...heh...yeah its mine.", within the gym you could see people lifting weights, doing bag work, and sparring in mixed martial arts."Yeah, its a blessing from god. Without his mercy, I dont think the place would have ever survived."

"You're quite religious aren't you?", he commented Sieg, admiring his faith. "Most people here in Gaia don't bother believing in God, at least you do."
He patiently waited for his food, waiting for Sieg to start up a conversation...
"How long do you think we'll have to wait for a third member?"

"Heh, I woudnt be so suprised. Im amazed there arent more religious men. Im a human who lives side by side, with guys who can destroy cities single handedly. I live in a world where every day there is some epic battle for the fate of the universe. Every Sane breath I take must be of gods mercy. ehehehehe.", Sieg had just gained a theological sense. Eventually, Sieg just coudnt keep going through every day life in gaia without something to comfort him. Being a spiritualist, Sieg didnt just have faith...but during meditation he had seen into the 9 circles of Heaven and the 9 Hells of Baator. He didnt just believe....He knew..."I hope they call soon. I want to get on this case. What do you suppose these marbles have to do with all this trouble thats been starting lately. How does this connect to the recent robot attacks."

"Maybe...", he said, his marble tucked somewhere safe.
"Did you learn how to fight all by yourself?", he asked, wondering if a person who was informally trained would have a shot at being as good as some of the people at HoH.
It wasn't long before he could smell the sweet Dragon Club Sandwich coming. His eyes however, were focused at that gym, his mind wondering what they do there.

"Yeah Im originally from Earth. I trained in the martial arts there. I travelled a lot in my youth, went all around; so I picked up a lot of stuff.
but My mom....she was a champion of the female mixed martial arts devision and believe it or not, she always said that we were the descendants of Lu-Bu. I learned most of my stuff from her.
She is still alive, but we got seperated when I was a teen. Ive only seen her occasionally. She said that she let me alone because I would learn best that way. After I got out of college, I made a living as a mixed martial arts fighter in UFC and Pride...
but then I got interested in spiritualism. So I moved to Gaia, I lived hear for a few years...and here I am.
We train in everything at the gym but I teach mixed martial arts there. Occasionally, Ill teach spiritualism.", the female waitress walked out and brought Sieg the drink and the sandwhich. Sieg had a vanilla creme'. The waitress was a bit petite but still cute, she appeared to be a snow elf due to her paleness. "Thanks", Sieg said as he took the food. He would have the sandwhich which was wrapped in the traditional japanese triangls to Shiro and would begin to sip his own drink.
