Saneatsu finally had escaped those demon things. Unfortunately he realizes now that he is lost. In fact he is more than lost he has no idea where he is. While he could just pop back over to Isafaro and find the rebels again, but he decides to hold off. New places are always so much fun to explore.
He starts to stroll through the streets, not caring about anything really, his eyes glowing silver as he keeps a lookout for anything suspicious.
I wonder who I'll meet here, maybe they'll be more fun

With a rush, a metal beam from a nearby fallen building begin it's decent upon him. Aimed right for his skull, it meant to decapitate him and claim his life. Or... was it just a warning?
No warning, no foreshadowing shifting of the metal on the pile of rubble. Nothing. Just the sudden appearance of the object- as if it had teleported. Surrounding it, there was the presence of a strong pull on the Force.

Business had been slow for the past few weeks; so far she had only two cases. One was a wife suspicious of a cheating husband-when really he was just planning a vacation for them. The joyous woman paid her double for all the trouble. The other was much more of favor than a job. A young boy distressed over a missing dog, he paid her in two lollipops (strawberry and cherry) and a peppermint. The poor dog was stuck in a drain pipe and despite ruining one of her favorite dresses; Marian was won over by the boy’s happiness. Plus strawberry was one of her favorite flavors. All together that added up to a very sad bank account. Looking out the window at the dull gray sky, Marian put on her favorite coat and grabbed a nearby parasol. Heading out the well worn oak door she made sure to lock up her office as she ran off for errands.
Humming a happy tune she made her way through the slightly busy street. Not even the weather could keep people in doors. Reaching into her purse she pulled out her headband, not wanting any slip ups or accidental readings Marian placed the device atop her head. A slight static feeling, the one thing she never got used to since using the canceler. But the rewards… The rewards were worth the mild discomfort. Heading to the market she went through her mental check list- fresh bread, a few veggies, and maybe a pastry from the new shop that opened up. A little treat for to help brighten up the day, besides she saw an absolutely delicious strawberry cake in the window yesterday while looking for the dog. Lost in her thoughts for a brief moment Marian paused in her steps, something seemed off. Even with her protection a chill went down her back, the hair on the back of her neck stood on end. Confusion written on her face Marian had only one thought “I’m never going to get that cake today…” Squaring her shoulders and holding her head high, Marian was ready to face whatever it was. So allowing her instincts to be her guide she started walking once again, this time towards the strange pull. |

*That pull, he could feel it coming towards him, coming from above. He continues his stroll though, disappearing right as the beam should have hit him. Black smoke ripples around both himself and where he was standing. Now about a foot away from the beam lodged in the ground. He approaches it and extends a hand, his aura pushing towards it and examining it. He could feel the force, the aura familiar yet completely different.
His eyes glowing still he notices someone approaching. He leaves the beam and approaches the woman, his aura reaching out and testing, seeing if she matched the aura from the beam, and if she was a threat.*
I don't think it's safe for you to be here, it seems someone is out to do me in.

Frowning Marian felt the ground shake as the beam made contact. Steadying her balance she then noticed a figure heading towards her. If there was one thing Marian disliked it was irrational violence and destruction. Resisting the urge to cough due to the dust that quickly spread in the open area, she waved her hand before her face-attempting to clear some air around her. “I don't think it's safe for you to be here, it seems someone is out to do me in.”Arching her eyebrow at his statement she took a step forward “good sir if you do believe such a thing then why come out and entice your attacker into acting?” The man, obviously not a native to her dear home of Hallowton was a threat to the people if someone was after him. Blinking as she felt a sudden headache, Marian reached up to make sure her band was in place. It was still secure atop her head, so why the headache? Unless the man was trying to read her… “Now then I think some questions and answers are in order.” Walking towards the beam she tapped it with her parasol “whomever threw it, and that is still up to debate, must have incredible strength physical or spiritual.” Glancing up Marian tried to see if anyone else was around. So far it was just the two of them. Luckily the area was one of the less inhabited, most families having moved on to stable buildings. “My name is Marian by the way.” She was a stickler for manners and one must always remember their manners. |

*He shrugs, he hadn't realized that someone was out to get him. However when she thinks that it would take much skill to throw that he chuckles, though not in a condescending manner. He reaches out with the force and the beam lifts into the air before setting down.*
Yes, I believe some questions are in order. My name is Saneatsu, it is nice to see that some people know how to be nice. However, I had no clue that anyone was after me. As for staying in somewhere, I have no place to call home so I guess that would be quite difficult. I am a wanderer of sorts, drifting from one place to another.
As for moving the beam, it is quite easy for a youngling to do so though the speed is debatable. However how it appeared is another thing altogether. It didn't just fall from somewhere it was transported.
I wonder, are you up for a little trip? I believe I can find whomever sent this message my way.
*He focuses again, since it had appeared it could be tracked, and if it could be tracked well then he can get to where it came from. However it was rude to just let her stay here all alone lest another beam fall so he offered for her to go with him.
He approaches her and notices that something seems to be blocking her, for some odd reason he cannot get a good read on her. He reaches out with his aura to check her overall health and wonders if she is feeling well.
*
Tell me, why is it that you seem to block yourself from others? I don't mean to prod but if I am causing you discomfort I don't mean to.

The attacker shook her head with a smile. Saneatsu, always the gentleman... Yeah right. That thought was still a laugh in her mind considering all the things he had done in the past. Oh well. No matter for now. After all, this might end up being fun after all. Besides, she needed a good row right about now. She had been too stifled as of late. A sweet yet somewhat husky voice called out into the street from her hiding place, "Wow. A Force user that is actually polite! Geeze all the ones I have met have been jerks and shmucks."With a grin, the source stepped out into the sunlight. A young woman. "Guess I am no better eh?" She commented with an embarrassed chuckle, her eyes settling upon the beam. |

A loud rumble had interrupted Rowen's meditation. The youth opened his red eyes, grabbed his wooden staff, and got to his feet to take a look out the window. A beam had fallen from a building and nearly struck someone outside. There was a conversation going on below, and from the looks of it, no one was injured. But he had to make sure everything was well before he could gain peace of mind to resume meditating.
With Jenna's absence, he'd have to fend for himself, so he silently prayed there wouldn't be a violent confrontation. The window opened with an obnoxious squeak, he climbed out, muttered the words of a spell under his lips, and jumped out. A cloud appeared beneath his feet, allowing him to slowly descend to the ground.
"Is everyone okay? Did anyone get hurt?"
He had no idea what could be in store. |

"As for moving the beam, it is quite easy for a youngling to do so though the speed is debatable. However how it appeared is another thing altogether. It didn't just fall from somewhere it was transported."Nearly falling over as the beam is lifted she turns around and stares at the man. It was quiet rude to show off one’s abilities and another thing he could have warned her! Resisting the urge to roll her eyes at his nonchalant ways Marian dusted off her coat. "I wonder, are you up for a little trip? I believe I can find whomever sent this message my way."Glancing up at Saneatsu with curiosity present in her eyes as she considered the offer. “A trip? I suppose work has been very slow.” She did have a fondness of adventure and the urge to know who did such a thing was practically nipping at her heels. “Alright but if I’m gone for to long I’ll…” Marian froze as she suddenly realized how close he was to her. Eye wide and taking a cautious step back, her grip tightened on her parasol. Cutting off his words she held up a hand in front of her “due to personal reasons I keep myself shielded as you so put it.” "Wow. A Force user that is actually polite! Geeze all the ones I have met have been jerks and shmucks."Interpreted by a feminine voice Marian looked over at the young woman. Was today lets all be random and put Marian in an odd predicament? From what the woman was saying she figured that the new arrival was the cause of the flying beam. Somehow she didn't think that either of the two would listen to reason, but all she knew was reasoning! There were better ways to solve matters than brute force. “Now that you have gotten this out of your system” pointing to the beam and destruction it caused. Marian adjusted her black gloves “I do believe we can discuss matters like civilized people.” As another new person joined the scene, Marian watched as he jumped down and land with the obvious assistance of magic. Yes, this was most certainly not her day. "Is everyone okay? Did anyone get hurt?"“I believe everyone is okay a little shaken if nothing else.” She was trying to think if she had done anything to deserve what was going on today. So far nothing came to mind! Well there was instance where she sneaked an extra helping of cheesecake from her parent's dinner last week. But still, it was cheesecake.

*Saneatsu rolls his eyes at the polite comment but lets it slide. He turns and faces the woman. However before he can respond yet another person shows up. It seemed that many people were concerned with others getting hurt.*
Hmm, I am fine, events such as these seem to follow me.
*
He was about to go off and find the person responsible for the beam but stops. He looks again at the new woman and narrows his eyes, his aura growing cold.*
Tell me, are you the one responsible for the beam? You recognized me as a force user, in fact you seem to put me at a disadvantage. It seems that you know me but I do not know you.
*He looks back towards Marian.*
I am sorry but I believe our trip has to be postponed, I hope you don't mind.

She didn't respond as Rowen lighted the ground. She did however spare him a quick once over. Not only out of slight curiousity, but also out of measurement. She also took the time the three spoke to each other to study them each. Interesting... Sort of.
The woman raised an questioning eyebrow, "You assume just 'cause I can feel ones presence within the Force and got curious that I know you? Wow, that is a bit presumptuous isn't it?I mean, c'mon. If you met a fellow User, wouldn't you likely want to find out more about them? Like if they are a threat or not? Weeeeell-"
She motioned to the beam that now lay innocently on the street not that far away.
"That was my way of finding out."
Now she turned to Marian, waving a dismissive hand at her worries of non-civil conversation. "There are really no matters to discuss." She shrugged. "He struck me as the type that likes a good tussle and I was bored. Besides, I have not come across a lot of us here. Few and far between we are. Let alone ones that can dodge like that. Not half bad."

His help wasn't needed, but he began to feel uneasy. There was tension, some unease, and it made him grip his staff tightly. He already had spells prepared should a fight begin ranging from protection to healing if need be. The woman who had apparently thrown that beam --how did she do that?-- was the source of aggression. Rowen quietly watched everything, and patiently waited. He'll have to make do without his elder sister here to back him up. |

*He rolls his eyes at the woman's comments. There was more to this woman than she was letting on. He knew two things though. The first was she recognized him, and not just as a force user. This was confirmed because she knew he could dodge and she sounded impressed.
He crosses his arms and looks at her, he is unsure but it might be worth testing. A little white lie never hurts, though it does go against his normal methods.*
My name is Dacha, Dacha Tirade. Now that you know mine, perhaps you should tell me yours.
*The beam disappears though it doesn't return. He had learned quite a few new tricks and perhaps they would come in handy now.*

"He struck me as the type that likes a good tussle and I was bored. Besides, I have not come across a lot of us here. Few and far between we are. Let alone ones that can dodge like that. Not half bad."A twitch wanted to form in her left eye. The woman spoke of attacking a stranger as if it was a favorite pass time, simply because he felt like a good fight. What utter nonsense! Grip tightening on her parasol Marian cleared her throat. "This is truly a mess and I can say with all honesty I've never seen such displays within the town. We are people of logic and reason, violence need never be the answer." Looking at the three before her she carefully studied their movements. The two 'force users' as they put it were ready to attack it seemed, the other appeared on the defense. Such an odd group she somehow got tangled up in. "I've got a very bad feeling about this..." Mumbling to mainly herself, Marian was surprised that others hadn't shown up yet. The day was getting later and she could hear the streets becoming busier.

"This is truly a mess and I can say with all honesty I've never seen such displays within the town. We are people of logic and reason, violence need never be the answer."
Instantly, the air about the group lightened significantly and became filled with a sense of peace and contentment. This feeling would travel to all members of the little gathering, but whether they accepted it or not was up to them.
"Yeah but it sure can be fun sometimes. Depending on if the other party is up for the game or not. Not all fighting has to be for blood ya know."
Her smile brightened her face as the comment was made and along with it, a swirling of excitement within her magenta eyes. These eyes turned upon the silent Rowen with a hint of mischievous curiosity.
"You have been very silent. Tell me, for what do you use your power? You seem to have plenty of it. Oh but first-"
She turned to Dacha, "My name is Arier. As for my last name, I don't have one, so that is all the info ya get."
She completed her statement with a meaningless and playful wink in his direction.
