Gryphos:
--Rooftop opposite the Armoury--
The Wyrm took the rifle off his back and pointed it in the direction of the Armoury door, waiting.
Merc
"Sir, I don't think it's a good idea to remain this close to the explosion."
Wyrm
"I like to live life on the edge. Plus, I can't risk anyone finding the bomb."
Merc
"I called for the Wyvern, it should be here shortly."
Wyrm
"Good, but keep it in the docks for now."
The Wyrm took out the pocket watch again and checked it.
Wyrm
"Soon."
Yiski:
--City Center--
At BdrLine's question, Althea gave another small blush.
Althea
"Embarrassing, right? I have never been given the chance or opportunity."
--Armory--
Lauren was bored. Yiski and Zill were in Chambers, still. Jun'ko ran off somewhere and Althea and BdrLine were apparently on a date (which she learned as she saw the two walking out).
Trying to figure out what to do for the rest of the day, Lauren decided she would practice with her new long revolver. Seeing the technicians still cleaning up Zill's tar bombs, Lauren went to go fetch her own targets and set them up on the range. Next, she realized she didn't have enough ammo to hit all the targets she set up.
She remembered Yiski telling her he kept the special ammunition for their guns in storage in a separate wing. While in storage, Lauren found the special ammo and took two boxes worth (about 50 total) with her. With ammo underneath her arms she started back, but heard something. Something which only a keen pilot's ears could pick up. It was ticking. Last time she checked with Yiski, nothing should be ticking. Ticking was a bad thing with all the ammunition.
She closed her eyes and let her ears to the tracking. As she made way to the source, the ticking got louder and louder. Soon she could hear the ticking at its loudest and opened her eyes to start searching.
She was 'rewarded' with a tiny bomb planted next to some powder used for ammunition creation. Looking at the timer placed, it looked like it was about to blow.
"Flak!"
Lauren knew what would happen if the explosive went off here. So, she grabbed the explosive, not knowing how much time was left, and darted for the range. She still saw technicians out and started yelling at them.
Lauren
"GET OFF THE RANGE NOW IF YOU DON'T WANNA BLOW UP!!!"
Thinking one of Zill's leftover bombs was unstable, all the technicians cleared in a hurry. Lauren then threw the explosive, but...
*BOOOM*
...it went off mid-air with Lauren still too close. It knocked her to the ground, the impact, knocking her unconscious.
Upon realizing it wasn't a tar bomb, the technicians rush to Lauren and called high-alert. Guards came and rushed Lauren to infirmary while a few double time to the Chambers, thinking another group was after Yiski.
Captain Lockheart:
A small muffled BOOM was all that could be heard from the garden district. But it still caused Lockheart to quickly turn his head which made a muscle strain too fast, his neck pierced with a brief pain. After rubbing his neck, Lockheart figured wherever there were explosions. His friends was sure to be there. He jogged towards the explosion firmly grasping his sword out of habit.
Lockheart
"I wonder who or what has suffered that explosion. And i worry for its health...."
Gryphos:
--Wyrm's roof--
Merc
"Sir, you had the shot on that woman, why didn't you take it?"
The Wyrm placed his rifle back on his back.
Wyrm
"I didn't need to, and I realised I shouldn't. Better I remain hidden, and not attract people to the sound of my gun. This was just me testing the waters. She had the sense to find the bomb, it's good she's out if the picture, if only temporarily."
Merc
"But sir, you're testing the wrong waters, we need to kill Nidhogg. In Lord's Leap the Gallafells hired you to kill him."
Wyrm
"That job is really more of an 'if you can' affair. The Gallafells' real reason for employing me was, sadly, little more than to distract and harass the defenders of Anvala. I instantly took this on as an opportunity to have good ole' fashioned murderous fun. And that is what I intend to do. And if Nidhogg dies then that's a bonus."
BdrLineAzn:
--City Center--
As the afternoon rolls on, BdrLine and Althea are enjoying their time together. Without any responsibilities to worry off, Althea felt free. After a few more minutes, rumbles can be heard from both of their stomachs. This causes Althea to blush out of embarrassment.
Althea
"Sorry, haven't ate since morning."
BdrLine chuckles and takes her hand.
BdrLine
"It's alright, come on, I think there's a cafe near here. Let's stop and get something."
He leads her to a corner cafe where he opens the door for her. Smiling at the gesture, she walks in with him following. They reach the counter where a waiter notices them.
Waiter
"Hello and welcome. Table for two?"
BdrLine
"Yes plea..."
*BOOM*
Everyone in the room heard the explosion. Some citizens starts to panic and exits the cafe. Althea and BdrLine looks at eachother and exits the cafe as well. On the way out, they bump into Nelson and Bell.
BdrLine
"What the were you two following... nevermind. Come on, I think it came from the armoury at the Academy. *to Althea* hehe, some first date huh?"
