Slum Streets Jason frowned a bit but nodded, quickly grabbing a small piece of paper from his pocket and scribbling something on it. "Okay...If you're sure....But if you need anything this is where I live" He then looked back to the (slightly shady) driver "We're ready" Narroh Manor Melanie looked from Samuel to Galv, paling slightly....How in the world did his father know he was coming here? She then remembered how much trouble she was going to be for bringing a boy here...She paled a bit more. “...Oh my gosh, you two aren't dating, are you?!” And Melanie paled some more...She was starting to resemble a ghost now.. "NO! We are not dating!" Kanna quickly exclaimed, now eying her daughter...Who was now in....Pants... "What the hell are you wearing?! Where is your dress?!" "Ummm at Galv's house?" the girl said, hoping that honesty was the best policy. Obviously it wasn't. "WHAT?!?" Kanna exclaimed "You changed if front of some horrid boy!?!?" she then looked over to Samuel "No offense" Melanie frowned "I just wanted to get out of it, I changed myself, Galv just gave me something to wear! Anyways, why is his father here?" Kanna groaned, wishing she could stab Galv in the man parts....But deciding that would be bad for the plan. Instead she swallowed her pride and motioned over to Samuel. "We were discussing your marriage" Melanie blinked ".....W-What?" "Well I suppose since you've already met him- "G-Galv?!?!" Apartment "Good idea" Crystal said with a smile, moving forward and taking a slice of pizza. Colette did the same, eagerly taking two and stuffing them in her face....The small girl had been rather hungry. "Soooo good!" she exclaimed with a giggle. "We never used to get yummy stuff like this!" "Where did you all used to live before this?" Crystal asked Jimi and Hammah. |

[Slum Streets] “You got it kiddo.” Red said to Jason, and he started up the cab, taking off down the street at a rather high speed for such a crowded city. “So, where to?” Red asked, his eyes every now and then glancing to Jason and his drunken date. [Apartment] “Well we can get lots of yummy stuff now.” Sama said, looking over to Colette, who like all small children was terribly adorable. “Stark's pretty generous, and as long as we all work hard, we can make some pretty good money!” [Outskirts of Town] Near one of the massive walls constructed to protect the town, the mysterious military Major who went by rank rather than a name, was standing near the base of the wall, conversing with an equally mysterious stranger in a trench coat. “You are ready?” The Major asked. “Yes... but I expect to be compensated.” Otto Octavious grinned. |

-Tavern- “Well, alright then,” Russel shrugged, as Didymus got up to leave, “Good talking to you.” He sipped his drink, frowning slightly. He hadn't gotten very much information...but enough to maybe deduce a few things... -Apartment- “Yah, let's eat!” Jimi said, starting on a pizza all to himself, munching it down. Hammah, not being a pig like his brother, turned to Crystal to answer her question. “We use to live in this small apartment...” Hammah answered, “It was our parent's old place...pretty small and crowded with all of us...Mom and Dad never had too much money, since they had three kids...and both were trying to bring electricity to the masses...” -Slum Streets- Erin smiled, taking the address and putting it away for now. An address...this would be quite helpful. “Maybe I can by...later,” Erin said to Jason, flashing him a smile, before walking off. Maize punched Jason (lightly), in her sleep. -Melanie's House- Galv had paled now as well...Marriage? Sure, he really liked this girl, but weren't they taking things a little fast here? “Kanna here...found out about your famous grandfather,” Samuel said to Galv. “Grampa Jacob?” Galv said, looking to his dad, having vague memories of visiting his grandfather when he was little. “Exactly...Even though I told dad I didn't want his money, he's still been keeping some aside for you, and it's quite a large sum last I checked,” Samuel answered, “Plus...you'd inherit everything else, if the worse should happen.” Galv frowned. This still seemed a little weird to him. He partway wanted to protest having a wife chosen for him, but then if he did, Melanie might think he didn't like her! “Ummm...when...would we...?” Galv then asked, figuring they might have some time to figure this out. “...That's up to Kanna...” Samuel said, glancing to the woman. |

[Apartment] Sama was happily munching on some pizza, nom nom nom, when Hammah mentioned the now all-but forgotten idea of using electricity instead of steam. The boy paused, looking down at his (pizza grease covered) metal hand. “... Electricity is a good idea.” Sama mentioned, looking to Hammah. “... but after what happened... even Mr. Stark can't convince people to try again. But he thinks so too! That's why he hired me...” |

Tavern "Thanks again, Tifa. As usually, if any of my boys come in and give you problems, let me know...but that reminds me...I've actually got a new unit...a tad rowdier than my last, if I may say so..." Didymus said. "I'm sure I can handle them." the bartender replied. "Still, it's a matter of honor. I'll get you some more info when I come in next time, if I can." He nodded to Russel, and stepped outside. Streets Didymus began making his way back to his residence...but a lot could happen on the streets between now and then |

Apartment Crystal frowned, looking down at her food. She had always known there were VERY mixed emotions about electricty. While she hadn't lost anyone in that accident (Thank goodness) the girl knew it had changed many lives. "We just need to think of ways to use it safely....And not rely on humans to provide it at all times...It's not worth the risk of a life even if it lit the world for ages" It was hard to think that the group had been just talking about much lighter subjects not too long ago... Colette on the other hand seemed optimistic. "Hammah's the best at it" she said, taking a bite or pizza "Nothing would happen to him!" She only said this because she couldn't remember the accident and how it took her own parents away. She was much to young, and to her it has always seemed as if it was just Jimi, Hammah, and herself. Slum Streets "Owwww...."Jason muttered, rubbing his arm in the spot that Maize had punched it. He then looked back up to Red. "Ummm ever heard of the Narroh estate?" he asked, pulling out another card with the address. "There is fine...Hopefully my kid sister's already there." Because he had no clue how he was going to explain it to Kanna if she was not. Of course he had no clue how he was going to explain Maize to Kanna either....Oh dear. Melanie's House "By the beginning of next year" Kanna said simply. That would be enough time that hopefully this whole Kain thing was done with...Then the entire wedding would be canceled. "Until then, you and your father will be staying here....to get to know Melanie." Melanie's face was red and she couldn't think of anything to say. Instead she just stuttered a bit. "A-Aren't we too young to marry?" she asked. Kanna shook her head. "Now's the perfect time." she said, moving forward and taking the girl's hand and leading her over to Samuel. "Ignore the horrible attire Mr. Hawkins but Melanie would make a beautiful bride for your son. She doesn't have much business sense quite yet, but i'm sure she would make a good mother in a few years." Melanie suddenly went from bright red to a bit green. "M-Mother?" Kanna nodded, though in truth the woman thought Melanie would have god-awful redheaded babies if she ever procreated with this boy... "Of course" she lied. "Now! You two should get to bed-" "Do I have to sleep in a room with him?!" Melanie asked, horrified of the answer. Kanna choked on a bit of air. "N-NO. I mean....Er... Not yet. You've only just met.....actually...WHY have you two already met?" "G-Galv was at the Opera" Melanie lied. "Jason asked him to escort me home while he took care of some business." "And you're in his clothes...Whhhhy?" Kanna added. "Ummmm....You know. I have no really good answer for that..." Melanie muttered. For now Kanna decided to take that answer, the woman moving forward and ushering Melanie and Galv out of the room. "Melanie show your fiance to the guest quarters, i'll be in to talk with you later..." "Yes mother..." |

-Apartment- “Our dad was really good at electricity...” Hammah said, holding up his left hand, letting electricity crackle in it, “He taught me a lot about it...Heck, he was even teaching me how to fight with it, before...the accident...” He sighed slightly, letting the energy die down, glancing to Colette. He wished their parents were still alive...they were missing out on their daughter... -Slums Streets- Maize continued to sleep on Jason's shoulder, enjoying the warmth. And don't worry Jason. Ethan's probably not scrounging the streets, trying to find you and his daughter. Yet. -Narroh Manor- He was going to be married? By the beginning of next year...? When he was fifteen?! Galv began to panic slightly, at a number of different things. “I...ummm...” Samuel sighed, then pulled Galv off to the side. He frowned, knowing he couldn't tell Galv the truth...It was liable he would tell Melanie, which would defeat the purpose of everything. “...You weren't at the opera, were you?” Samuel asked quietly, “Or was she?” “Ummm, no...” Galv said, “Melanie wanted to see our house...And something besides her fancy dress to wear, since we were in the slums...” “And you didn't...” Samuel trailed off, not sure how to end that statement. Galv paused, then blushed furiously, “Oh, no! I was out of the room when she changed! And...All we've done is hold hands, really...I mean, I don't think she even likes me that way...” He was quiet, frowning still. “...Why did you do this?” Galv asked, “I mean...with Melanie? I like her...a lot...but all this? And you didn't even know that...” Samuel sighed again, patting Galv's shoulder. “It's...complicated...” Samuel answered, “You'll understand later...” He just hoped he'd be able to catch Kain before the next year... |

[Apartment] Sama listened to the conversation in silence for a moment, looking down at his metal hand. He knew all too well what could happen when electricity was used improperly... he could still hear the screaming and the sound of the explosion... and he had a daily reminder of the dangers. “... It is dangerous, but... if we could just find a way to create electricity without relying on people, it would change the whole world. Maybe Mr. Stark can... he said that was his goal when he hired me...” Sama leaned back, suddenly losing interest in the pizza. “... I still believe in it.” [Slum Streets] “Narroh estate? Oooh rich folk part of town. Fancy, fancy! I guess this means I can charge you double – ha HA!” It was hard to tell if Red was making a joke, or completely seriously. Either way, he began driving towards the Narroh estate, and can arrive pretty much whenever CR wants him to. |

Apartment KxS was happily eating some pepperoni pizza while listening to their talk about this accident. "It's sad to hear about it..." she said with her mouth full of pizza. "I don't really recall it, but it sounds horrible." At least she was learning something more about Jimi! |

Streets Didymus walked, brooding/reflecting on the day's events. A cab suddenly sped by him, and he shook his head. I don't suppose I'm actually expected to go after a speeder on foot... He moved on. With Alice, and the events she had hinted at, and what was going on...even if it just involved Alice's own endeavors to change Hydron, he felt like he stood on the cusp of something BIG. There's an army of honorable people througout the city who would respond to the call of an aristocrat who actually wants to do good. Who will be so open about it as Alice...I've...I've seen people who would. There HAS to be more of them...I wonder if Alice grasps just what she could be...or if she's too focused on Section III to see the big picture...she DID say she'd considered all angles or whatever with her marriage plans...still, I gotta have a chat with her. He chuckled. But this is PROVIDED she fails to escape my attempts to keep her alive. A prospect not entirely guaranteed to come true...this could be rough. Every time there's a major disturbance, I'll probably have to come running just to make sure she's not charging into a war zone unescorted...she probably doesn't want her guards around, so I guess it falls to me...greaaaaaaaat... He chuckled to himself again. |

Narroh Manor Galv was speaking to his father so the girl waited for him outside in the hallway. She didn't quite know what she would say to the boy....He was very nice and all (and quite handsome) but this was all so sudden! She wasn't sure if she wanted to marry anyone right now, heck she didn't even understand that concept! She had a feeling Jason wouldn't take this well when he arrived either... [...] Meanwhile the cab Red was driving was getting close to the Narroh estate....Jason attempted to shake Maize awake without getting a broken nose. "Heeeeeey, wake upppppp" he tried. Apartment "Don't worry! I think you can do it!" Colette said as she looked at Sama, obviously not understanding the gloom that everyone else was feeling at the moment. "But you're gonna need my brothers' help! Then you guys can make electricty again for the whoooooolllleeee city!" The girl took another bite of her food. |

[Narroh Estate] The cab finally arrived at the gates to the spacious Narroh manor! Red whistled and popped his head out the window, his eyes widening considerably as he looked on at the glorious mansion. “Whoooooa... kid, you must be made of money! Hmm... the name's Red. Red Katana. Yeah, I know, strange name.” He looked over to Jason in the backseat. “Listen kid, this town is dangerous, especially for your rich folk... but as it just so happens, one of my other jobs is as a sort of protector! I'll even cut you a discount rate.” [Apartment] Sama grinned to Colette and gave the girl a pat on the head. “I think you're right! But luckily your brothers are now part of the team for Mr. Stark – and so are you! And working together, all of us can come up with a great solution and finally bring electricity to the city!” Sama sat back, grinning a bit. In all truth, he was still utterly terrified of electricity... and he hadn't produced any in a long time... but perhaps there was a good use for it... |

Malvin estate A group of ragged-looking men had begun gathering nearby...how exactly they managed to avoid the guards of the various aristocratic families is anyone's guess...of course, the estates were spread far enough apart from each other, and each family had their guards to protect they themselves, not their neighbors (barring any orders given of a differing nature). They began approaching the Malvin estate, however, as stealthily as they could. One guard thought he saw movement in the area around, and looked... ...a gunshot rang out. It may or may not have caught the attention of the Malvins within, but it certainly caught the attention of the guards, as some rushed over to investigate... ...suddenly, a wall of the property was blown open! As smoke from the blast rose, the men poured inside, guns blazing! "MAKE THE RICH PIGS PAY!" one shouted. Streets Didymus could have sworn he heard an explosion in the distance...he turned toward the source of the noise...and saw smoke rising from the aristocratic part of town... Wait, isn't that...oh no. He hailed a cab, and when one stopped, he offered a rather generous sum for a cab fare. "To the Malvin estate, and step on it." The driver nodded, and they were off! |

-Apartment- “Only Colette and I can use electricity though...” Hammah said, “Jimi can use fire and water though!” “Yah, I use to work providing steam power a lot,” Jimi sighed, “Really boring work though...” -Narroh Estate- Galv sighed, then just nodded his head, “...I'll talk to you in the morning then...” He left the room, entering the hallway, pausing as he saw Melanie. “Ummm...hi...so...I...guess...we're engaged now?” Galv said, rubbing the back of his head. Outside, Maize yawned, then opened an eye, staring up at Jason. “...If I'm in you're room...” Maize began, then paused, still not sober, “...We can...have some fun?” She yawned again, and simply snuggled closer to Jason, because I am a horrible person. |

[Apartment] Sama shook his head, still grinning. “Jimi can still help! Trust me... Stark can find a use for anybody. I know he's kind of weird, and he has a lot of...” He paused, looking to Colette. “Um... grown up problems... but he's a good guy, and he's actually pretty smart.” [Malvin Estate] Alice was wounded, of course, having been shot just... what? Maybe two hours ago, at the most? She had been sleeping, but at the sound of an explosion she jumped form her bed – groaning in pain. She hobbled to her closet, changed into her uniform, and grabbed her dagger and a pistol, and then headed downstairs. |
