Construction Yard The beginnings of a new building, the construction yard now is little more than hunks of steel and piles of dust. Of course, there's always the construction machinery; those might be fun. This would be a good place to play hide and seek, but you should probably wear a hardhat.

"Yarharyarharyarharyarhar..."
A strange, ghostly chuckling echoed through the lumbering machinery that slumbered within the yard, and little wisps of flame peeked out from behind a pile of dust.
"Yarharyarharyarhar..."
A tiny green shape flew out from behind the pile, exploding dust everywhere, and darted into the open door of a bulldozer.
The lights on the machine flared to life, illuminating the mischeivous little Gwee inside. This looked like a fun time to play...

Xallen didn't have a hard hat, but he had a hard head which was probably the next bext thing. He came here from the Institute, largely on a hunch, and also in order to remain relatively close to the City Center for quick travel to any area of the city.
Once he arrived in the Center, he heard an odd sort of laughter. He'd call it eerie, except his brain was really too advanced to let such petty feelings bother him. However, it appeared Tadashi's little hint was right. He didn't understand how, but Xallen just had a hunch that there was a marble nearby. "Guys...something's close."

Such a clever...being! Something was close, something large, and yellow, and...
...well, is it just me or is that a bulldozer slowly making its way towards Xallen and its comrades?
"Beep, beep!" the Gwee bleated from the cockpit, voice making a mockery of a horn. "Fleep, fleep!"

Aiolos felt something, there was this tingling in his fingers. Little did he know that his marble senses were tingling.
"Huh." He muttered at the sensation, "That's interesting."
He took a tin flute out, ready to play if something popped up. That was when he heard the laughter. Xallen was right, something was here, and he had the uneasy feeling that it had to do with one of those "Phenomona" That Tadashi guy was talking about.
"What now?"
((Addon))
Then there was beeping. Yeah, something was definately here.

Zen entered the construction yard shortly behind his comrades, the area seemed a bit strange but Zen didn't let it bother him too much, soon he noticed the bulldozer which was slowly creeping in their direction. "A bulldozer, come on now." Zen sighed as he looked to Xallen and Aiolos, wondering what they wanted to do.

Xallen grinned, as he saw the bulldozer coming toward them. "I'd almost be worried about it running us over, if it weren't moving so slow. I bet the marble's inside. Shall we partake?" He moved to the left side of the bulldozer, watching it carefully so that a sudden acceleration wouldn't take him by surprise. He circled around it, clearly intending to go far to the side of the bulldozer's current path, and then attack it from the side. "Take the right side, please." Xallen then charged toward the bulldozer's left door, not too quickly so he could have time to react as necessary, when he reached a position that he believed a bulldozer could not turn sharply enough to hit him. Hopefully he'd catch the marble-holder relatively peacefully. "I'd like your marble, if you don't mind..."

"Dunno, maybe the thing might grow legs and eat you." Aiolos said to Xallen, anything could happen. Despite that remark, he followed his lead and went to the right. The Durem-bred man saw the inside of the bulldozer's cockpit, there was a green glowing of a outline... It sorta resembled those Gwees people had floating around everywhere. When he saw Xallen go for the thing, the first thing he thought was Oh ******** breathed fire. He should know, having been lit aflame by those adorable things before.
"Zal- Zel! Xel! Whatever your name is! Get off! Get off!"

And sure enough, the bulldozer accelerated as the little Gwee found just the right lever. It crooed happily, just watching as the bulldozer sped down towards Aiolos and Zen, who had yet to move out of its path.
It had no idea how to turn the thing, so it didn't bother going after Xallen. Besides, why turn for one when you could get two?
Of course, then Aiolos moved, too, but it could still get one!
The left door was closed, but it would be a simple task to pry it open and stand in the doorframe. Within, a little green dragon floated, happily bouncing around the interior of the machine.
When Xallen pried the door open, he would be greeted by a puff of flame as the Gwee exhaled right into his face. Seemed the little fellow had a nasty temper, and there was no way he was going to relinquish the marble curled tightly in his tail.

Zen followed orders and circled the bulldozer as it picked up speed, he wasn't expecting the bulldozer to dash at him so quickly so he he was forced to dash himself, once out of the way he turned to the side and readied himself for the bulldozer in case it turned face.

Adam darted into the construction yard, relying on his increased reflexes to keep him from taking any blows to the head. He scanned the yard as he ran though it, then skidded to an abrupt halt as he caught, just out of the corner of his eye, his friend Aiolos, and some other men, fighting against what appeared to be....an animate bulldozer? Adam cocked an eyebrow, but then again, this wasn't the weirdest think you could come across in Gaia. Reaching into one of his pouches, Adam drew out a standard frag grenade and sped toward the moving bulldozer, as he ran past it, he tossed the grenade into the seats. "Take cover!" He shouted out, and he quickly jumped behind a series of stacked steel beams.

Unfortunately, the windows were all closed, and the only open door had Xallen's body blocking it.
Depending on where Adam threw it from, the grenade would either bounce off the right hand window, the windshield, or Xallen's back. Unless Adam had some sort of super accuracy that allowed him to throw it in the teeny tiny opening between Xallen's body and the doorframe.

Adam sat behind the cover, waiting for an explosion. His eyes went wide, however, when the grenade landed at his side, ricocheting off the door of the bulldozer. Quickly getting to his feet, he kicked the grenade away from him, and watched with a disappointed face as it went off in the air.
((alright, just had to fix my little mistake. I'll give you guys time to act now))

Xallen was a little more cautious than people seemed to give him credit for, or at least he was with this particular mood. When he climbed aboard the bulldozer, he first made sure that he had secure footing on the ledge outside the bulldozer door. All standard bulldozers had this ledge. Of course, this gave him plenty of time to observe that this was indeed a Gwee piloting the bulldozer.
His memory told him that this creature was a fire-breather, though not a particularly powerful one. As such, there was no need to avoid the bulldozer entirely. Rather, he positioned himself near the hinges of the door and held on to the corner of the bulldozer to ensure he wouldn't fall. Then, he opened the door and let the Gwee breathe a puff of fire right out the open door, passing by him harmlessly, since he had the door between him and the blast, and also stood securely on the ledge.
Then some idiot came along and threw a grenade. So much for shooting the Gwee in the head. The grenade looked like it was going to fly right through the open door and hit the Gwee in the side, near its wing. It looked like the guy had a good aim, so it shouldn't miss or anything. As such...it was probably a good idea to get the hell away. He kicked off the ledge, diving to the side of the bulldozer and rolling away safely. While fast for a bulldozer, it was hardly moving at breakneck speeds so Xallen was unharmed. However, he screamed at the newcomer, "What the hell are you trying to do, kill me?! I had this in the bag!"
((EDIT: I'd like to note that nowhere in my earlier post did I mention opening the door, just so you're aware. Also, I was careful about the details of this action, so that I could avoid any possible attacks, and leave an opening for a ranged attack without there being a risk of being hit by it.))
