Aekea City Center Ah, the great techno-pagoda of Aekea. The very top floor serves as office to the city's administrators, while the middle levels are used by the major companies based in Aekea and the bottom floors are various novelty shops.

Xallen approached the famous city center from the northwest. He didn't know if there would be any easily obtained marbles in the area at this point, but he figured it was worth trying to get one. Thus, his senses were on full alert, hoping, praying that he would pick up the trail of another marble.

Aiolos had followed Xallen, it was his instincts that found a marble... And a bulldozer driving Gwee... But a marble. Might as well follow, there had to be other excuses to maim cuddly little critters of Gaia. Momos flinging poo at them, Rock puppies on motorcycles, the possiblites were endless.
"That." Aiolos said to him, "Was awesome."

Zen, who was close behind his partner Xallen, entered the city center with passed-out partner Jacknif Campbell. "Hey, how long you think this guy is gonna be down?" Zen asked Xallen, maybe he had some way of knowing with his alien technology and all.

Adam followed closely behind Aiolos. He looked to Zen and Xallen, then smirked. If these guys could be of any use, why not take there help?
"Aye." Adam said, responding to his teammates comment. "I prefer my Gwee broiled, though." Adam then looked to Xallen, and smiled, jutting his hand toward him. "Name's Adam Sokolov. I'm cool with you guy's gettin' that marble. Just so long as we get the next one." He smirked, then reached for his belt and grabbed another one of his grenades, tossing it into the air once before returning it to the strap.

Xallen said nothing to Aiolos, as his mind continued to dwell on the Gwee. Normally he wasn't the sentimental type, but with this personality, he was just so sad to see an innocent creature killed like that. It was probably time for a change, but he didn't have the heart to do it. He really needed to toughen up. For once, his mind changed to focus on other things as Zen asked about their companion. "Good question Zen. I suspect he'll wake up right when we need him to."
He turned to face Adam, as he approached. Xallen completely ignored the comment about broiling; there was no need to respond to something said in poor taste. Nevertheless, he would still be polite and shook Adam's hand. He countered, "I'll promise not to interfere when you're on the verge of taking a marble from someone else. But don't think I'll let you take credit for my work." He clicked his tongue in slight frustration. Where should he go for another marble?

((There's four of you, so I'm guessing one of you is teamless. I'm still looking for one more member - preferably a tank, so if you're interested, let me know. I just realised that two of you are part of your own team, and the other two have an unconscious teammate [I think]. Ah well.))
Tormenta made his way to the City Centre from Shantytown, a very quiet Anji in tow. Looking around to him, he supposed the other man was just a bit down because his friend had left. Turning back and surveying the area, Tormenta shook his head in disbelief, and partly in awe. There was nothing like this in his own land.
After taking a few moments to take in his surroundings, he started to the North. He wanted to get back to the Institute.
((Don't worry, this isn't an exit post, I'm just giving him a direction to go in.))

Personally, Aiolos thought that Gwee deserved it. He's gotten scorched more than once by those things, and it pleased him... In a sadistic sort of way, to see one of those things feel the flames. Maybe Aiolos was already a little crazy, that mage scientist guy did try to put that marble in with just Aiolos in the circle. He swept the paranoid thought away and casually strolled over to Zen, his worries not showing.
"Alan's still not up?" Aiolos said, looking at Zen's load. He went up to Alan's face and slapped it again. Still, no response.
"You guys drug him or something?"

Adam uttered a small grunt of frustration, then frowned slightly, crossing his arms over his chest. "Makes sense to me....though it was my grenade that killed the cursed little thing..." Adam shook his head and waved a hand in the air toward Xallen, blowing away his metaphorical frustration with the man. "So, he uttered, reaching into a pocket at his side and retrieving a roll of duct tape. "You got any idea where to start lookin'?" He quickly tore off a small sliver of the tape and tossed it into his mouth, then chewed at it as if it where a stick of gum.

"Hey, speaking of marbles which ones do you guys have, if you want we could make a trade if we have marbles better suited for someone else and vice versa." Zen suggested, of course if they didn't want to that'd be okay too, not like it's a big deal or anything. Zen shifted Alan's body a bit, something on his body was stabbing into Zen's shoulder but he corrected this issue after shifting him about.

"My friend makes a good point," Xallen chipped in. "We have stalwart, attacker, and defender, I believe. Would you be interested in making a trade? I was thinking of switching my attacker for a defender anyway." He moved toward Zen, holding his hand out for the defender, so he could make the switch.

Tormenta grunted at all the noise as he was nearing the end of the area. As soon as he acquired the means to do so, this city would be the first to go. Looking back to Anji once more, Tormenta gestured for him to keep up. "Come on, we're almost at the Intstitute.
((And that was my exit post.))

"I've got that luck energy thing marble." Aiolos said. Why did he get the crap one of the bunch?
"I have no idea how it works, not like I can use it without going psycho or anything." He took the marble out of his pocket and held it out in his palm.
"It has to be useful to one of you guys, I just don't think it fits me." Sure, the thing has given him luck, but that was about it.
