Okay, so maybe he was just a little lost. Walking for well over half an hour should've eventually produced a sort of department store or mall complex. He wanted the drinks for later, sure, but underneath he just wanted to get out of the house a bit and not have to answer the phone, sweltering heat be damned. Xander sipped his water again, down to just a spit left. It had served its purpose well, refreshing and cooling him from all the sweating he was doing earlier (and proceeding to do now).

The tough-built man glanced up at the huge skyline around him, taking care to shield his eyes from the glaring light of the day star. His attention was at last caught by one of the tallest towers apparent nearby- that was Chromatus Tower-! Which meant he was in the city center, and so there had to be a store he was looking for around.

Xander checked his watch, revealing the current time. Well, better late than never. Maybe this way he could at least listen to the noon chime of Chromatus Tower from closer up - already, there was a vague crowd of commotion around the base of the clock tower, from what he could see. He'd have to take an internal tour later, whenever he decided he had free time to kill. Hell, he could do it right now, if he managed to shove through the crowd at all.

[color=crimson][b]"Maybe some day I'll figure this out,"[/b][/color] Xander silently reproached. To say he was lacking some sense of purpose right now wasn't entirely untrue, loathing as he was to admit it. It always seemed the first new step was the hardest...

...but very soon, he wasn't going to have much choice.
