((And unfreeze Disa and FMC.))
"Well, that was... entertaining." Disa remarked.

Angel stood, not finding anything on the man? (I assume nothings on him since Bob left for a few.) She glanced back at James and nodded. "Thanks for the help. I know you, right?" She had this notion they met before, but it had been so very long ago for her.
As Tweak approached, she handed him the remote control device thing. She figured he would probably understand it better than she would. "I don't know about this thing. Should we keep it? Press the button?" The last bit of her question held a sarcastic note to it.
Her head turned to look at Tweak. He did have some burns on him. She wasn't so sure about the concussion. The man was always scared or adding to the problem. He was probably consciously telling himself he had a concussion or so she thought.

"Don't push the button. Trust me, it's not going to make it rain candy and bourbon."
Regardless, James took a few steps away from the corpse when Angel handed the remote to the man who just reported himself to have a concussion.
"...eh, know me or not, it doesn't change a thing does it?" It had been a long time. He thought he recognized her, but a few days of acquaintance in a few years of time doesn't promise much recognition.
"What happened here?"

Luckily for them all two factors were in play.
A) Tweak really was just deluding himself.
B) He agreed with James.
So when the remote was handed to him he made absolutely sure not to touch that button. He kind of glanced the thing over to see if it had any markings or anything. Apparently there were none so he just kind of held it...uncomfortably.
And then they just started talking.
"You know, maybe it would be a cool idea to move over there then talk?" Take into account him pointing to a spot a good...ten, twenty feet away from the corpse? "I'm sure none of us have forgotten the whole, 'I have lots of bombs!' aspect of this guy?"
EDIT
Oh yes, and by the way since you people have no way of knowing.
Athan, Angel, and Tweak had the relaxing odor of foot and a** pop, lime-aid pop, sewage, and looked like hell.
For your viewing pleasure.

"...believe it or not, I like that aspect."
James tucked the pistol back where it belonged, and instead pulled out a knife; laying the shield on the ground beside him and cutting a slice in the bandoleer the man was wearing.
"Ah, bombs. The spice of life."
He slung the bandolier over his shoulder.
...if this guy had a marble, obviously those marble senses would be tingling. Angel hadn't seemed to find anything. A quick check of the man's pockets might aid in a more thorough search though. A spare marble, for anyone, might help considering that some of them had just gone dead.
Looting is fun.
Edit: For your viewing pleasure, while Disa, Stryphe, and the three-headed dog with them looked perfectly fine, James was bruised up and still soaking wet with fountain water. Y'know... from fighting a dragon.

"Well, this guy started lobbing grenades at us at the hospital, so I followed him here, intent on giving it to him where it hurts."
Angel laughed and stepped away from the dead man. It wasn't that she thought he'd get up, it was just to put Tweak at ease. The poor guy. He really needed help.
"Tweak, want me to heal up those wounds or what?"
She shook her head. "I had no intentions of pressing any buttons. I'd probably detonate a nuclear weapon. It'd be my fault that we're all dead."
As James looted the victim, she moved away, standing closer to Tweak.
"So, what now?"

Disa and FMC would move to stand next to the two strangers while her Fearless Leader looted. She remained quiet, not having much to say at the moment.

"Your obviously insane then."
Tweak took his own advice and moved back a good bit when James went to looting. He was not fond of being blown up kthx.
Angel offered and he was was all like, "No. I'm perfectly fine. Just a concussion. I'm just peachy." Glorious sarcasm...under false pretense. This was really just another excuse for the ' stare ' expression.
And as for what to do next...
"Lets go somewhere way over there so I can push this. Preferably out of range of whutevah appears." He had been holding that switch awhile now. Having someone say the exact words, "Dont push the button," is a leading cause of temptation in people.

((Sorry. Back. Yes. Marble is to be found in the second bandolier on the man. One on his right. Marble is of the Destroyer type.
Bandoliers contain two claymores each, four more grenades, and what seems to be two blocks of C4 along with proper detonation gear.
Belt still has six grenades on it.))

James pockets the marble.
Next he removes all the C4 from the bandoleer and tosses it into a storm drain nearby. He wasn't really fond of having remote-detonated explosives on his person unless he was damned sure he had all the remotes and knew which bombs they corresponded to.
So 10x grenades and 4x claymores. Pretty good haul, all things considered. It'd certainly make the next robotic dinosaur go down faster.
"Clearly." James wasn't going to argue with that.
"Let's... get out of here."
He was speaking to his team, of course, but he also might have been speaking to the other three. Six people was better than three when it came down to fighting dragons and dinosaurs.

(( sweatdrop So, who gets the marble? Angel since she searched him over or James since he took the bandolier after Angel was done?))
Angel shook her head and rolled her eyes at Tweak. "You need help. Now give me the switch before you blow us all to smithereens."
She got a whiff of Tweak as she stepped towards him and made a face. "Oh, you reek of filth. We really need to find us some showers."
She just merely glanced back at James and crew as she stood by Tweak and Athan. She thought it'd be best for her team to move on their own.

Disa moved to stand with James and Stealthy Stryphe, their fluffy puppy following after her.

The super stealthed and super defensive Zen entered the red light district, his stop for the night along with the rest of his team, a long day of everything and Zen was about ready to pass out.
