The Boardwalk - Gambino The boardwalk is a place, most typically in beachfront communities, where a wooden path for pedestrians and sometimes vehicles runs along a beach or overlooks and is close to a beach. In this case, the boardwalk runs along the beach for four miles to the residential limits, and is largely a tourist attraction. In fact, it is widely used for common shops where it is possible for tourists to purchase souvenirs and trinkets to remember their trip. From time to time, it is also known for the amusement parks that occasionally pop up.

Jacknife came walking up the street from the resedential area. Nothing was going on over there, perhaps the boardwalk would provide something more interesting, as well as a better view.
So far nothing but nice weather and a good view around here. This 'game' was turning out to be pretty dull.

He could see the outline of gambino mansion in the distance, and hear the murmuring of the marketplace from all the way out here.
He hopped over the boardwalk railing and landed in the sand with hardly a sound.
"Still nothing... damn..."
He touched his radio headset and sent a message to the others.
"Things are pretty dull around here, you guys having any luck?"

He headed down the sandy beach to where there were a few boats docked. The ferry. This would be useful if he needed to get around quickly.

The Chauffeur entered the boardwalk, obeying all speed limits, but being very annoyed at the people who would not move. "These things should come standard with a cow catcher," he said to no one as he made it to the next intersection.

At the next intersection he saw the sign for the ferry. It was the fastest way to get off the tourist-filled island since cars were so much trouble in a pedestrian-heavy environment. He signaled, waited for the traffic cop to motion him along, and drove towards the ferry.

Onto the wooden boardwalk and into the crowd of people. Alexiel was a skilled equestrian and fully capable of navigating through the crowds. It also helped that she was on a light breed of horse instead of a heavy draft horse.
She weaved through the crowds, looking for something.

"BWAHAHAHAHA!" A spirit in a good looking suit appeared out of nowhere... Again.
"Damnit! I already got you too."
With that, it poofed away. This was becoming a waste of his precious time.

"At least no cars can go through here." Kit said, smiling, "There's too many people around, though, from what I've seen, not much a problem for you."
Kit sidestepped through the crowd of people and slipped around the people, there were little kids, adults, hobos... A girl on a horse shouldn't be too hard to miss.

"Hey, there was plenty of room for a -car-. Just not enough room for both the car and the people that were there first."
Athan shrugged. He thought it was pretty cool. Not to mention lucky that he didn't plunk the car into the water.
"So why exactly are we following this horse again? I mean it's obviously out of the ordinary, but so was that raccoon and so far nothing good has happened because of that."

Something Happening Of Intereast? Further up the boardwalk it would be hard to miss a gang of kids gathered around a women. A purple haired women wearing a long yellow labcoat and covered in lights. Those lights never seemed to stop flashing. By all look and appearances she was in the process of teaching kids how to breakdance. Six of them in all - one of which was already nursing scraped knees and elbows. Two of them were getting the groove down though. Hardcore yo.

The horse stopped as the spirit appeared. Alexiel had been unprepared again, but the moment she felt the horse's muscles move and felt him start to rear up, Alexiel squeezed her legs hard around the saddle, mentally willing herself to stay in the saddle until the horse came back down again. The moment his hooves hit the ground, he bolted forward in an uncontrollable charge, Daemon fluttering his wings wildly in response.
"Woah! Woah boy! Easy now!" She was trying both vocally and mentally to calm the horse for the second time as civillians all dove out of the way of the rampaging animal. Damn, the beast was putting her at risk. He could attract too much attention, she had to calm him.

It was almost hard not to notice the woman in the strange jacket. Athan stepped forward, looking at the dancing that was taking place.
"The hell is this?"
He crossed his arms in front of his chest, watching a few of them in particular as they seemed to be getting the hang of it. The movements didn't look particularly complicated, but the combination of such seemed as if it would take some time to learn.
Regardless, it was still fairly interesting and he pushed himself forward to the head of the crowd.
