Xi-Wang had lived in Destiny city his whole life, miserable as it was at times, and he was rather used to seeing certain things and so when something new cropped up he knew it. He wasn’t the most social, nor did he get out a lot, but some things he just knew because he’d lived in the city so long.
He didn’t know why he did it, he hated the memories it brought up, but one of the old churches in the city had recently suffered heavily from a fire. He couldn’t remember what the cause was, he had been half asleep on the living room couch with the news on, but it was the church his mother and her now wife had gotten married in. That day had been...miserable for him, a day he wished he hadn’t been there for, but for some reason he had decided to visit the little church and look over the damage - just for the sake of it.
He had told Caleb he was going out for a short walk, and might pick up some groceries or food for dinner, and headed out of the apartment with his cell phone tucked into the pocket of his thick, warm, hoodie.
The walk really wasn’t that bad, aside from being a bit cold. He managed to avoid any spider webs though he had caught sight of someone trying to get into their car - the webs were winning. When he did make it to the little church, having had to take a bus to get there as well, he hadn’t been too surprised by the damage done. What little he’d caught on the news had told him it had been fairly extensive damage wise.
As he glanced over the place, remembering the damn wedding, he was surprised to see something which was out of place with his memories- a gargoyle. It hadn’t had one back then, he knew that, so when had they attained one and it looked old - like it had been there a while.
Shaking his head he continued to move around the place before breaking away, hands tucked into his pockets, as he headed for the grocery store. He didn’t want to hang about too long, he still didn’t even know why he’d come...just curiosity perhaps. Curiosity was the only reason which made any sense to him, it certainly wasn’t good, fond, memories as he possessed none of this place.
It was on the way back from the store, arms loaded down with bags, that he glanced back up and saw no gargoyle...had someone come and removed it? He hadn’t been gone that long, surely it would have taken some time to remove such a big hulking thing. It had been rather scary to look at, imposing and big, and it really didn’t fit with the church so maybe they had brought it down? It was odd….why have it in the first place? It really didn’t fit the church at all.
Shaking his head he continued on, he might mention it when he got home while he tried to cook dinner, he wanted to get out of the cold and get into the warmth of the kitchen as he attempted to make a decent dinner. He’d certainly bought enough groceries for it.
Maybe tonight, or tomorrow night, he’d power up and return to investigate further...because something really did seem off and suspicious - he didn’t like it.
