"I'm not saying he's in a different direction, i'm saying that Fitz is in town and that's a shortcut to his current location..." Kite said pointing out the window at the saucy pirate.

While Fitz was confronted by the hat salesman outdoors, Alasea sighed and shook her head in exasperation. Unfortunately, like the rest of the Staff, Kite had learned to mistrust Rua after he had inherited the position from Blane. The two boys had been at odds ever since, straining the friendship they'd built in the beta test. That event had resulted in the two building a strong bond, strong enough for R.D. to unleash the Sekiha Tenkyoken on Samanosuke. How could something like this had happened?
Nevertheless, her womanly instincts demanded she step in before things get out of hand. She opened her mouth to tell both of them off when someone crashed hard into her back, sending her skittering to the floor thanks to Fitz' less-than-graceful impact against her.

Fitz stumbled to keep his balance as Alasea went sliding across the floor. In too much of a hurry to care, he took three of his four hats off, taking it to his chest, bowing before putting them all atop his head again, stepping over her to get as far away from the entrance as possible.

A hand quickly shot out and grabbed Fitz by the collar, dragging him back. Rua glared at the pirate, eyes narrowed and eyes flashing a dangerous gold color as Alasea picked herself up off the floor, avoiding the offending hands of some drunken patrons.
"I think you'd better apologize to the lady, pirate," he said coldly.

"Ah...terribly sorry, m'lady." Fitz said, correcting his error as he proceeded to rib Rua with his elbow, then proceeding his dash again.

Rua grunted as the pirate elbowed his side, and the distraction succeeded in making him release his grip on Fitz's shirt. "Hey!" he shouted as he made another lunge, swiping at Fitz again, only to miss.

The hat salesman at first didn't seem to have noticed Fitz taking multiple of his hats with him and making a mad dash for the pub's entrance, almost as if the man was blind. The man blinked for a bit, and shouted after Fitz. "Hey! Hey, young man, watch out with those hats!" His shouting ended in coughing, and the man grumbled underneath his own outlandish hat. "People these days, stealing hats before I can tell them that they got a new owner. Boy will be lucky if they don't try to such out his brains or eat his face. Damn things can act like them fishy Metroid thingies if they aren't treated right."
Still mumbling to himself, the hat salesman turned around. "Alright, folks, I'm gonna be closin' for the day! Sorry for ye all who'd been wishin' ta get some fancy new hat, you're gonna have ta wait!" He once again shouted, this time to anyone willing to listen, his arms waving around, his wide clothing flying around as he did. After that, the man turned around and shut his stall with some little wooden doors that stuck out from the sides and top, before locking the whole.
"Well, that's that then." He muttered to himself. "I suppose I can use a drink now. Maybe that boy from just ago is still in there. Hope the lad still got all his bodyparts. Otherwise I might just get into a nasty situation."

"Still have a bit of a temper, eh, old friend?" Kite said,"I can guess why you're here..." He added eying Fitz.
There's a lady who's sure, all that glitter's as gold, and she's buying a stairway to heaven...
Kite eyed his now ringing cell phone, stopping for a moment to listen to the guitar riff,"Mcknights, what's up?"
"Kite, it's Bryce, we've got some weird energy pulsing in the area, seems to be at a high rate of speed, when you have time check it out."
"All right, Mcknights out." Kite said hanging up,"Funny how the beasties seem to follow you Rua..."

Rua growled as Fitz escaped, and he shot another annoyed glance at Kite. Today was slowly becoming not his day. He arched his eyebrow when the Administrator addressed him about beasts. "Now what?" he said exasperatedly, putting a hand on his hip, just above a Phase Blade.

"You have got to be kidding." Fitz growled as he continued to run, he could feel the numerous hats on his head begin to pressure themselves onto his head....something in them...something like...Fits shuddered at the thought of Morph's little beast as he threw the hats to the floor, leaving his own to his dismay, now attempting to escape the monsters rather than the...salesman who wasn't chasing him.

"A nice big energy pulse is headed this way, dark energy too..." Kite said non-chalantly.

In a place not quite the same as were Fitz had bumped into Rua, Alasea and Kite, but rather close to it, an elongated figure, it's features shapeless and it's shapes featureless, ran itself through a narrow passageway. It stopped for a moment in the middle of the passageway, braking itself to a halt in the middle of it's run, and seemed to sniff the air for a moment. Seemingly taking note of something, sensing something or someone familiar, something or someone it was searching for, and it proceeded to dash off into a different direction, rounding a corner into a wider space, and it vaguely recognised it as a hallway. Lingering there, moving as if it were sniffing the air still, it made it's dark and featuresless rose up so that it loomed over anything else that could have possibly found itself in that same hallway. It turned it's top end a different way, into one direction of the hallway, the end of which seemed to be illuminated quite a lot better than the rather dark hallway. It tought it saw a figure coming into the hallway from that end, seemingly being in a hurry, and it made a soft, squeeling sound as it recognised the figure, recalling a soft neck that cried out to be peed upon. --- --- --- --- --- The hat salesman came into the pub, knewing his wares to be safe. They were locked up and even if his stall would be broken he knew that his hats could take care of themselves. His broad figure and wide and flowing clothes blocked most of the light that came into the pub through the door, obscuring his features from the sight of the people inside. Pausing a moment to look around the pub, the man, grinning, stepped inside and turned one way, making his way through the pub, passing tables that were already taken, noticing a few people he recognised from a little while ago standing up ahead of him. "'Ooooyyy!!" He cried out in greeting as he neared the people. "Who have we got here? The non-hat buyers! Nice to see you youngsters again. By the way, sure you don't want to buy a new hat?"

Fitz took a step back as he saw the squirming creature. Okay, this definately was not his day.
"Eh...shoo, SHOO! Go piss on someone else's neck, aye?" the pirate said, swaying his hands, trying to get the oh too familiar slug out of his sight.

Kite looked at the bartender and ordered a Martini, took a sip, then looked at his screen,"Well, it's in the town's vicinity, and it looks to have a glitch code, I'm off to search, so i'll be seeing you around."
Kite chugged the rest of the glasss and walked out the door while cracking his knuckles.
