Hiroshi bowed his head slightly. "A warrior must be prepared for everything."

"Ah! Feh! Bleh!" Owle shouted as one of the clerics through sand right over her head. Reflexively her hands clapped onto her hair, making frantic messying motions to shake the sand out.
And then...
"Ow!"
Owle clasped her left wrist as the inside of it started intensely burning, and the marble shot right into her skin. Still clutching the offended appendage, Owle glared accusingly at Hiroshi. "You didn't say it was going to hurt!"

Gaia never ceased in its strange ways.
Over at the Lu-Bu gym, Siegs meditation had been disrupted by a strange pillar percieved through the minds eye. This being gaia, he thought nothing of the strange event; as things like that seemed to happen all the time. Though what got Siegs attention and what brought him too this place was what he saw on the gaia news.
Robots were attacking and killing indiscrimantly and while such things were sadly not uncommon in gaia; it struck Sieg. Maybe it was because of the recent beating he recieved by a robot at the Heaven or Hell Tournament and the lasting effect it had on him...but he knew that he woudnt feel right unless he did his part.
He discovered the information of the location of the faction who could provide him the most information on this case and he heard through the grapevine that there were many others who sought to end this senseless killing gathering there.
The lights of his motercycle would shut off in front of the establishment, ending the gentle hum of the bikes engine. He would step off of the bike, with his muscular form adorned in the form fitting bright yellow GOD jumpsuit. He would take off his helmet and hold it at his side, as he walked into the establishment beneath the shadow of the tall clock tower.
He would walk in his usuall graceful way that was the mark of a talented martial artist up the stone stairs towards the entrance. Though his desert yellow eyes focused towards a nearby manhole that was withinhis physical perception. Upon entering the establishment he was suddenly met with the thankful welcome of a man dressed as if he were at a religious meeting.
Sieg, being an eager to begin this investigation, welcomed the mans almost frantic explanation of the situation. He learned many things of a man named hiroshi and that the attack by the robot had more too it. Unlike most, Sieg was willing to listen to the mans spill but before he was able to divulge much information of the workings behind the robot attack; he quickly lead him to a room.

((Sieg--is the 'man dressed as if he were at a religious meeting' an NPC, or Hiroshi? Just to be clear. Either is fine.))
"You did not ask," Hiroshi said to Owle. "You Gaians don't seem to realize that few good things in life come without pain How do you feel now?"

"Weird," Owle answered. "Very weird."
She felt like she could run forever, her tiny wings longed to touch the sky, and all and all this kind of manic energy flowed through her.
"Hey, I know not much comes without pain, but you could have warned us," she retorted. "Anyway...where do we go now?" She wanted to get going, she just knew she could move so very fast now and she wanted to soar. It didn't matter where she went, as long as she had somewhere to get going to.

"Wherever the wind takes you," Hiroshi said simply. "You can't go anywhere without running into trouble lately."

"Pff... I just didn't want you ruining my jacket," said Rage, cracking his neck. He already had the mental notion that he could do anything he set his mind to - now he just felt like he could do it three times over. Run a mile, punch a bear in the face... whatever he felt like doing, he was sure he could do it now.
"Well, wise one, you got any advice? Anything in particular we should know? Stuff like this always comes with some sort of catch."

Sieg gave his word to quell evil without hessitation, for it was already a promise made to himself under the eyes of the holy father. Sieg had become a religious man recently, it was a long time coming after all - he had been living in gaia for years now. Though, the strange part about this was the blessing he got...
Though he did not feel dirty because of the mans different religion. Sieg had a strange outlook on religion, he believed that any religion that is trully good all worships the same thing but in different ways. He felt no ill will towards this man and he loved him like a brother. He recieved the blessing well. He was also given a mark through metaphysical means on his right bicep.
He was told he would recieve the services of this establishment because of that mark. This could have been a curse, maybe Sieg was too trusting. Though Sieg felt a certain goodness in this place, the same goodness he got when he walked into the only christian church in gaia. He was also given a blue marble, from which he felt a pleasant metaphysical presence ebbing from the object. He would equip the marble immediatly.
He continued speaking to the man about the exact objectives of this places mission. They were good, yet Sieg was also told that other groups had already jumped on his quest and he came to the realization that he had no team. His friends at the Lu-Bu gym were not interested in fighting the robots and unlike in most cases, Sieg was alone in this quest.

"Perhaps if two more lone fighters such as yourself come along, you could join forces?" Hiroshi's follower said to Sieg, brow furrowed in thought. "Not all Gaians come in threes, after all. In fact, I understand that most do not."
"Well." Hiroshi glanced towards the backroom, where his cleric was speaking with a newcomer. "You may want to avoid going too far for a short time. I would recommend going past the city limits, actually."

Sieg would rest his hands within the brims of his pockets as he listened to the man. He would then look right towards the man outside of the back room and then would look back towards the priestly figure before him. Though the news was a big disheartening, that he would most likely be going on this investigation alone; he would smirk. He would then speak in his deep yet smooth voice,"So I guess Ill be walking this trail alone. Its no big deal. God walks with me. hehehe...No...He carries me.
So is there anything else I need to know?"

"Hmm..." The young cleric closed his eyes and bowed his head. "I wish that it weren't a big deal... Unfortunately, the magic is too unstable with only one person. You won't be able to use the marbles for long without two teammates." Opening his eyes wide, he added, "But I'll be sure to find a teammate for you, if I have to fight by your side myself!"

"Hmm. Should I look for m'self or do you know for sure that some loners are comin her'.", Sieg said in a nonchelant sort of voice. Sieg was just anxious to do something, but he wasnt foolhearty, he knew that this is gonna be one of though's situations where it wasnt too smart to not have back up. This wasnt a fight in the ring, this was complicated.

"Well... I understand if you want to get out and do some of the Good Work, so, if you're going to do that, would you please stay in Durem so that we can find you easily?" the Cleric answered.

"Aw, who cares, Rage? Let's just go!"
Taking him and Vahn by the sleeve, she charged out the door, taking off at top speed toward a random direction.
((1 - Affluency
2 - Clocktower))
