"You stupid hunka junk!!! I oughta kick you off the side and be done with you, damn ratty thing!" There was a loud metallic thunk and Miana barged into the dining area. A few of the patrons looked up at the disturbance. He meandered as casually as possible over to the hostess and asked for a table for one. She seated him with an accusatory stare for disturbing the atmosphere.
He gave the pretty young waitress what he thought was a charming smile as she set a water on the table and she rolled her eyes as she gave him a menu and went off to see to some other patrons.
Miana sighed and pursued the menu while he pondered what to do with his scooter. It was falling apart again and he'd obviously either need parts or a ride to the surface to find a decent shop that would let him borrow supplies. He wasn't familiar with the Denia area but he knew most of the residents didn't use automotive vehicles as a means of flight. So finding the right parts seemed unlikely, but he wouldn't discount the idea until he'd actually explored the shops and miscellaneous vendors on the island.
He sighed and called the waitress over so he could order some Noddles and pondered over asking about the local shops.

(OOC sorry for being missing. To much drama going on in my life right now sweatdrop )
(as Denwale)
"Well....it sounds like we have a plan. Sort of..." And then an idea came to him. A sober part of him HATED the idea, however it did agree it was a good one. He looked at the group. "Lots of talking is going to be noticed so only mention things here and there when we question people. I agree with the pickle...someone is going to slip up and we need to keep our ears clean for it. AM I RIGHT!" There was a small cheer from the people. Denwale nodded and then turned to Lin. "You're going to hate me for what I am about to do...but please remember that I am doing this for the people and to gather information..." He blushed slightly, then cleared his throat and looked towards the door. Someone asked where he was going. He looked back at the group. "I need to find a drink...I have to be drunk enough to be social and look for the loose tongues around me!" He looked at Lin and then back at the group and gave a nod. The sober part of his brain moaned. 'Well....for the people and all...' He sighed and marched out of the door, only to pause and declare his love for Lin before he disappeared completely.
(as Meushi)
"WELL....that was HIGHLY entertaining..." She stated as the drunk declared his plan, sort of, to the group. She turned to Lin. "I'm gonna go talk to some of the traders and what around town. Maybe they have something worth mentioning. Or at least have a pickle or two..." She rubbed her bald head and then gave a wave to those near her. "Well Cheerios and poptarts everyone! I've got me some sneaking to do!" She too left the dinner. However only moments after she left, there was a loud horrible crunch sound, as if metal against metal was hit followed by a VERY angry sounding zurg. "OOOYE!! WHO PARKED THEIR CRAPPY SCOOTER BEHIND MY SHIP!?!?!?"

Miana flinched. He hadn't paid much attention to the noise, but as he recalled it when the alien yelled he could only wonder how much damage had come of his scooter.
"Might as well claim it" he thought. She seemed tempery, so if he were to just lay low then the scooter would probably be manhandled violently to vent her rage. He contemplated briefly if anger or sheepish apologies were the way to go. The scooters bodywork was in fairly good condition so he could probably pass it off as a high quality machine, even if the inner workings were falling apart. And she hadn't look that dangerous....
He looked longingly at the noodles he hadn't started yet.
"Man, I just can't catch a break."
He got up and yelled at the door, "HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING! AND LEAVE MY SCOOTER ALONE!" before sitting down to his noodle dinner again. He was starved and therefore wouldn't even let risk to his bike deter his meal.

Lin had been standing back watching the conversation unfold before her. It was in bad manners according to what her mother had taught her to jump in on a conversation you were not invited to. It appeared that the small group had come to a conclusion about what to do concerning the situation surrounding the missing ships. Finding information from the townspeople and trying to find out what the people who worked for Hastings knew was a lot better than what her father wanted to do.
With a sigh Lin shook her head as she watched Denwale try and play the hero. Yet again he was going to head out and get himself drunk once more. She hated to see him go down that path but it seemed he was convinced it was the only way to live his life. With Denwale gone to drink and Meushi complaining that she was blocked from moving her ship out of the docks, Lin let out a small chuckle as she went back to her duties in the diner.
"I'm sorry you never got the meal you came in for Ms. Rhys," Lin commented to the pixie now known by name.
"No need to be sorry. I'm sure I can get something from the market while I try find out just what's going on around here," Aylin replied.
With that, Lin watched as the pixie too left the diner. As the relative calm returned to the diner a small crash came from the kitchen.
"Oh no Chong I'm sorry," Lin heard Amy apologize for what she could imagine was bumping into him.
And three, two, one Lin counted inside her head as she waited for what she knew would come next.
"Nephew!" Li Fong cried out.
Yes, life at the bottom of Porta Denia was quite interesting for those who lived there.

It was a matter of 10 seconds. That's how long it took for her brain to click together what was just said to her. "Waa...Waa WHAT?!?!" She glared at the dinner, not caring who the scooter belonged to. She looked at the tiny vehicle behind her ship and then back at the dinner then back at the scooter. "THAT'S IT!! I'M RAMMING IT!!!" The little alien shouted at the dinner.

Miana slammed his chopsticks down and rushed out of the diner.
"You just try it and we'll see how far my boot with go up your scrawny little butt, how about that?!?"
He examined his scooter and found that it hadn't been damaged much at all. Just a big green scratch from where the paint had clearly come off the zurg's ship.
"Oughta make her pay fer the bodywork, creepy little thing..." he mumbled as he tried to buff the scratch with his sleeve.

Meushi glared at the man who had come out of the dinner. She crossed her arms over her chest and watched him rub his scooter. "Good. Now that you're here...Move your crap!" She pointed to his scooter then pointed away. "There's a dumpster over there! USE IT!" She gave him a mean smirk, until she noticed her buffed paint. "OYE!!!" She rubbed the small scrap of missing green paint. "Oh...OH...OOOH!" She huffed in angry and then she began to pout. "Look what you're stupid bike did to my ship!" She then dramatically hugged her ship. "OH! p***k! I'm sorry, baby! Look at what this jackass and his crap-mobile did to you!"

Miana was just about to give her a piece of his mind over her snide remarks about the quality of his scooter when a harried looking waitress ran out of the building and presented him with his check.
"I wasn't done yet though...." The waitress just glared at him. He sighed and drew from his pocket a large wad of bills. He peeled off several of them to cover the bill, and a few extra before he pocketed the rest.
"Here, sorry for all the trouble and commotion we're making out here." He said as he handed her the hefty extra sum.
(OOC: Take the bait, take the bait....)
He turned back to the little alien girl.
"Listen, this is a top notch custom built scooter, what it with your lousy driving skills next time. I left you PLENTY of space to get around."
He lifted the kick stand and started moving his bike out of the way, ignoring the rattle it seemed to be making. He sighed dejectedly, wondering how he was going to get from A to B at this point, since the scooter obviously needed a lot of work that he just didn't have the equipment for.

Meushi only rolled her eyes at his comment of trouble. "Yeah trouble YOU started...." However she did eye the money. Now Meushi wasn't a greedy person. Nor was she starved for money. However that was a freaking huge wad of cash he just forked over. She blinked, then blinked some more and then blinked a third if not fourth time. 'Where the HELL did he get that loot?' Before she could truly ask about it, she heard his comment. "IT'S PARKED RIGHT BEHIND ME!!! PLENTY MY ANTENNA!!" She demanded. She looked away in an angry pout. "Top notch piece of crap is more like it...." She huffed. "Well so long to you and your smelly face!! I'm outta he..." Just then, one of the scooter's wheels popped off, rolled away and then off the dinner's side, to fall to the lands below. Meushi's eyes were wide as she watched the black wheel slowly disappear as it fell farther away from the dinner. "That's the crappest piece of crap I've every seen in all my life.." She mumbled to the man next to her. She then looked up at him and then at his scooter and then back up at him. She frown and then rubbed her bald head in thought. She looked back down at the now missing wheel and then pouted and then sighed. "Out of the goodness of my heart I'll give you a lift to get that replaced...." She raised a brow as she now stared at the tall human.
(OOC if making the wheel come off is to much controlling, tell me and I'll edit.)

Miana sighed dejectedly as the wheels rolled their way to the great beyond.
"I find myself in need of a ride in more of a hurry than I anticipated." He replied to the alien's offer. "The name's Miana by the way." He offered his hand.

The loud crash, the entrance of the drunk, the split of the small group, things were moving around him. For his part, Fylk wondered what would come of all this. The Devil's Run. Now there was a name he thought he had forgotten. As the idle thoughts passed through is mind the young looking man ran a finger over the silver ring on his right hand. Something was amiss. Something was surely amiss, something that brought the hairs on the back of his neck up.
Getting up, he left his tip on the table and headed for the door. However, when he got there, there was....well, it looked like it might have once been a scooter. However, it surely wasn't a scooter any more. It was....well, perhaps you could call it modern art. Shrugging, Fylk started to head down the doc, feet tracing a route to the Dawn's Edge.
