Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I just deleted the post. I don't feel like getting chewed out, and I just really clarified on the tattoo business. Before I make my new post, though, would my character know what the marbles do even without a tattoo?))

((Yeah you can know, just can't use it yet.))

Adam quickly snatched at Aiolos' marble, then held it in the air, pinched between his fingers. "I suggest you don't trade this thing, bud." He said, narrowing his eyes as he looked at the little sphere. "You got yourself a recharger here. Could come in handy once Hayden finds himself in town. Never know when one of us could use a boost."

Wandering down the street in a very casual way, a man in a black overcoat sauntered towards the city center from the Lost Marbles House of Pancakes.

He wasn't sure what exactly he was looking for. He just knew that he was looking for something, or someone.

"Actually, how about trading for the luck energy marble instead, for our attacker?" Zen swapped his defender with Xallen's attacker, but as Xallen grabbed the defender, Zen dropped the attacker which began rolling towards a city sewer, like lightning Zen dived as if in an action movie for the marble. He dropped Jack onto the ground and withing inches of fallen into the sewer Zen slammed his hand over the marble, catching it.

"Sorry about the dramatics guys. What wait? You want to keep the recharger? but we already have a defender and we don't need another one so how about loosening your grip on that one, especially since the next marble is yours anyhow. So whaddya say?" Zen shined the marble in between his palms, blood dripping from his hand, "Hmm, it seems I cut myself while diving for the marble." Zen shook the blood from the marble, the now clean red marble shined in the moonlight.

((I assume it's night.))

"Aye. Here ya go, bud." Adam walked toward Zen, his palm still open with the recharge resting in the center. With his free hand, he reached into one of his vest pockets and pulled out a small, ornate cigar case. Whipping it open with one hand, he reached his mouth down and drew out a cigar, then placed the case back in his vest. He bit down hard on the end of the cigar, took it in his hands, spit out the end, then kept a hold of it in his mouth while he fished for his zippo.

Zen traded his marble for Adam's, nodding his head and placing the recharger in his pocket. "Nice doing buisness with you." Zen laughed as Adam took the marble.

Adam grabbed at the attacker, and crammed it into his pocket. After a few moments of fishing through his pockets, he found his zippo. Flipping up the top, he brought the flame close to the end.

Just as he was about to light the thing, however, he caught a metallic gleam out of the corner of his eye. Glancing in that direction, he smirked as he saw a robotic dinosaur falling from the sixth story of a building and comming down onto a hapless victim. He quickly closed his zippo, then grabbed his cigar in the same hand and shoved both items into a side pocket.

"Well." Adam said with a smirk, pulling his AK out and holding it in a battle ready stance. "We've got work to do."
