According to his good friend Google Maps, there was a museum not too far from here. Well, that was as good a place as any to head to first. [@DocRock] While he was standing there, the sight of a man in a trenchcoat and fedora pulled him away from his phone, and for a brief instant, he locked eyes with the man in the weird outfit, before the guy walked away. Thinking nothing of it, he started to head out of the airport, towards the museum. But before he could leave... [@Anza] [quote]"I mean," she wondered aloud, "cancelling it, just like that? So much for a true test of skill and fighting spirit." She paused, yawning. "I guess this whole 'World Warriors' thing isn't such a big deal after all..."[/quote] Seriously? Yeah, the preparations with Trion had been a huge pain in the ass, the tournament staff could have [i]definitely[/i] handled the announcement better, and he was sure wasn't the only one miffed about wasting several months training for a tournament that never happened...but if a coup really [i]did[/i] take place overnight, he could understand [i]why[/i] everything panned out this way. But no. He wasn't going to play Devil's advocate. Nomads were [i]infamous [/i]for being ready to throw down at a moment's notice, and with Trion still with security, he was defenseless until he could pick it up. If she challenged him, and he couldn't defend himself, either he tried to take her on and got put in traction, or he backed out and his reputation was ruined. Neither outcome was fun. And [i]that[/i] was assuming that she didn't just bum-rush him in response. Or outright kill him on accident with a basic fireball. So he did the smart thing and kept walking. As started heading into the airport proper to go grab his bags, he caught sight of the guy again. The way he was going happened to coincide with Trenchcoat Guy's path, so he figured he'd make some small talk while he walked. "Hey," he said as he walked alongside the Mythic (not that he knew that at the time). "Saw you pass by earlier. Sucks that the tournament got called off, huh? You think the rumors about a coup are true?" He noticeably shouldered his backpack as he said that. It was clear there was something a bit bulky in there. [quote]And without further ado, she quickly left her lair, and began heading through the terrain, making a bee line for where the big announcement had just come in, like an actual juggernaut. Hopefully no one got run over by the rapidly moving metal warrior.[/quote] Hearing a loud stomping sound, he craned his head and noticed...[i]that.[/i] "Uh..." he started, not really expecting that. He turned back to Trenchcoat Guy, asking, "On second thought, do you think we should do something about that random woman charging into the crowd?"
