Aekea Shopping Center
While Crate and Apparel isn't anything special, Aekea's Faktori has the market by the horns when it comes to home furnishings.
In the nearby ramen shops, you're likely to find hordes of sweaty construction workers slurping up noodles like there's no tomorrow, drawn by the shade the walls provide after a long day of work.

The beast lurched to a halt, it's breaks sounding like a siren from hell. Smoking sputtered from exhaust pipe, and the car was turned off in the park position. They needed to stop, get supplies, come up with a plan and go.

Now Miles was a big man, and he hadn't eaten since sometime yesterday, and his appetite was mighty large. So his eyes were wandering to the stores where he saw people eating in the large windows or out in the open air.
"Stop the car, I'm getting some food."
The car was already going fairly slow, 15 mph, okay that's not slow if you're falling from it; but it just seems so slow...
Opening the hatchback he jumped and ran for the curb. The wonderful scents filled his nostrils and he had set before him a most challenging task to sift through the multitude of smells and figure what one would be most appetising. This wasn't going to be all that easy with so many restaurants.
Finally he found one to his liking and sat down and demanded food, lobster and shrimp and other creatures of the sea.
He would eat tell he had his fill and belched loudly when he was done. And he walked out.

Eustathios exited the car, staring up at the unfriendly sun as it's heat already made itself known. He was giving it the stink eye. His weapons and shields on his body, he walked towards the wall the shade, odd. Keeping himself busy with checking his weapons along the side of the road. Miles was gone for a bit of time, and Gamma was still in the car. Getting bored he called the two over, this time to talk about going somewhere else, and just leaving the tercel behind for a while. After a small talk they agreed and got all the equipment from the car, locked it, and left it. Heading down to their appointed destination, straight into a shadow, and they were gone.

And they were back again, from some nondescript shadow thing. He'd go along the sidewalks, probably looking for cigarettes.
Because he still hasn't had any.

Left foot. Right foot. Left foot. Right foot.
A big chainsaw hefted to the left of a ad face mask. Plus the newly acquired pounded-steel round shield.
Gamma was all dressed up and had no place to go.

It was a long drive from here to Gambino.
Good thing Gaia wasn't based on automobile travel.

Too bad Gamma had no idea how this magical s**t worked. Luckily, it was magic.
And it just did.

Tercel sweet Tercel. It was whole, unscratched, and just like he rented it.
With this car, he'd ride to victory.
At twenty miles per hour. Down hill.

Tercel, we missed you!
Sort of.
Eustathios and Miles exited the shadowportal and moved up to it. The Spartan in the shotgun and Miles in the back, again.

"Alright, everybody in. Let's go find this godamned place."
Chainsaw in the back seat, Miles and Eustathios wherever they managed to put themselves. After some coercing and a good minute of pumping the gas pedal, the machine started.
Slowly, the got the ******** out of dodge.

"It's a miracle!" He exclaimed as the thing actually started to move, laughing as he did. Finally, it was time for an EPIC battle, of EPIC proportions. They just had to GET there.

There was a man yelling at Rage in a language he didn't know. Somehow, he had planted a foot in the guy's bowl of ramen, and they were not amused. "Yeah, koo-koo-kachoo to you too, bud, get over it," said Rage, completely unphased from simply popping into existence from the Shadowbar.
He grabbed a nearby patron's bowl, slurping it down and slamming it on the counter. "Pay for it later," he said with a hand-wave, quickly leaving the restaurant to the air outside.
He took a deep breath, just happy to get out of that stuffy vampire-filled place.

Huh. How in the world had they wound up here?
"Rage! Don't-! Aww..."
Owle sighed, and fished the last few coins from her pockets, ordering the two guys replacement bowls of ramen.
"Sorry, I don't know what's gotten into him..." she apologized, then dashed out after him.

"Oh, woe is me!" the man cried, just outside the shops where the two had materialized. "Whatever am I to do?"
