[center][h3]MicroMart Front - Roof Across Street[/h3][/center]

Kira had taken note of the arrival of two other people in front of the MicroMart as she continued humming. She wasn't too concerned with the movement on the distant hill she'd noticed before laying down, either; cultists weren't known for having immediate access to long range weaponry nor were they known for having a high number of Espers in their ranks, so chances were, if the distant figures presented a threat at all, it wouldn't be immediate. What [i]did[/i] cause her to cease humming and sit up, however, was the faint sound of voices coming from the rear of the mart.

Narrowing her eyes as she gazed at the top of the MicroMart across the street, she tried to concentrate on what she was hearing, but she was too far away to catch most of it. What was most audible were the cheers of a crowd of some size, which seemed to be responding to a single voice. [color=gray][i]Is there some kinda' [/i]rally[i] happenin' back there?! That sounds like [/i]way [i]more people than I was hopin' to have to fight,[/i][/color] Kira remarked inwardly, slowly moving to standing position. The thought occurred to her that, if there were that many cultists here, they'd probably have plenty extra to leave on watch. Chances are the Freelancers here wouldn't have as much of the element of surprise as she'd hoped they would.

The roar of a diesel engine confirmed Kira's concerns, making her grit her teeth in consternation. She almost didn't hear the footsteps of the congregation that were moving alongside it. But she wasn't about to miss the sight of them, pouring out of the front entrance of the MicroMart. Nor was she about to miss that the semi was being driven out from behind the MicroMart, coming around from behind the building and driving down the side of it toward them. She wasn't sure what the two other Espers here were capable of, but she did know she could stop that truck from leaving. She didn't want to damage its contents, though, and it was also surrounded by people, so simply pulling it over wasn't the best plan. No, if she wanted to flip it without harming the people currently surrounding it, she'd need to wait for the right moment. 

Kira's eyes darted back and forth between truck and the crowd of...homeless people? [color=gray][i]Right...wouldn't be hard to get people who feel like they have nothin' left to lose to join a cult. Probably told 'em they'd make the world that failed them a better place or somethin'.[/i][/color]

From what she could tell, the people in the crowd had no projectile weapons, if they were armed at all. Could those weapons even [i]hurt[/i] an Esper? [color=gray][i]No, don't underestimate them,[/i][/color] Kira told herself. She decided to begin doing a simple dance that kept her moving from side to side, making her a more difficult target in the event something was thrown at her. It would also help her keep their attention on her.

[color=gray]"Where ya' goin' in such a hurry?! The party hasn't even started yet!"[/color] Kira taunted, her already gravelly voice full of vocal fry and her consternation having given way into a confident-looking grin. She wasn't addressing anyone in particular, but if anyone was going to answer, she would bet the important-looking one on the hood of the truck would be it, given how much he stood out from the rest. Which worked for her - she could make it look like she was talking to him while actually keeping an eye on the truck. She just had to wait for it to start turning onto the road in front of the MicroMart...
