Wrong Place...Wrong Time....

[Dartz]

Standing there the man let out a very long sigh, his left forearm coming up to his forehead, and wiping away the sweat that had accumulated at his forehead he could not believe the heat here in the Land of Scales, he always thought people just exaggerated but now he knew this was no joke. The blue haired man could feel the moisture of the sweat on the bangs of hair that touched the back of his neck, with one final huff the man would continued to walk forward every step felt like he was lifting a boulder with each leg, his body was tired, dehydrated, and he just wanted to fall over here on the dessert floor make the pain go away. Then in the distance he spotted something, the confused adventurer squinted his eyes for a moment to try to decipher the smudge he spotted in the distant heat waves.

'A...Building?...It's a building!' he thought to himself as he felt a sudden jolt of new found energy overcame his body, the blue haired man then started running towards the structure feeling his legs lighten up just enough for him to take on a full sprint. Admittedly he was struggling to raise his legs due to the sand weighing them down, but even then he kept running his trusty spear was in his right hand the sharp spear head wrapped in a brown cloth, some wear, and tear obviously visible on the cloth. Finally when he was close he jumped landing onto the stone floors of the structure, but soon he would feel slight disappointment settle in as he realized that he had stepped into ruins, and not a city.

Though just as disappointment had come in, he suddenly felt curiosity the man stepped forward a few steps in one direction, then a few in another as he examined the ruins around him. He didn't know what this place was, or where he was but all he knew was that he had found some shade without much to do Dartz would allow himself to sit against the nearest wall he found. The shade that was cast by the wall would envelope the blue haired man, cooling him down slightly, he sat there letting out another sigh as he allowed his burned out body to relax. At least he was alone....

Sitting there the young man was lost in his thoughts, he was unaware of what was happening around him his mind was being barraged by his worries which came from his lack of making any sort of improvement on his personal quest to stop the virus. He had done it so many times, finding what small windows he could to teleport to the Great Planes, there he had searched, over, and over for the virus core. Yes, he had seen the virus, but destroying the extensions of the virus did nothing absolutely nothing, the core is what had to be found, and the core is what had to be destroyed to fully, and truly stop this thing. Phalanx was so confident they had the situation under control, but they were wrong the virus all it needs is one mistake, one slip up, and it would break free engulfing the unsuspecting players of Grant.

His mind was weighed down with such worry, and then it happened the sound of footsteps broke the man from his thoughts who was here? Without much thought Dartz moved, standing up swiftly, and taking a stance but only to find himself at the business end of a Gunblade. The blue haired man smirked at the sight of this, he relaxed from his stance, resting the blunt end of his spear on the stone floor, and raising his free hand but not releasing his weapon he wanted to be ready jut in case, but also seem like he was surrendering. Besides for all he knew this guy could be one of Phalanx's cyber security operatives....

Then the man lowered his weapon, which caused Dartz to raise a brow a tad bit confused but relieved at the same time, "Ok....Not a bandit" he said to the man as he lowered his hand, resting a closed fist on his hip. This is when it hit him, he stared at the figures odd face thats right! This was the guy from the bar, the same one that had walked up to him, and the pink haired woman! Dartz would lower his tense shoulders at the sigh of the man, "You're that guy....What was your name? ....Uh...Xicon!" he said snapping his fingers as he remembered the mans name/ "So what are you doing way out here Xicon?" he asked finally.

Of course what he said had been a lie, he didn’t want to seem like some lazy person afterall. He didn’t want to say much or question Dartz, after all it was none of his business when it came to the affairs of others, he wasn’t the prying type, or talkative type either, he didn’t want to same much due ot the fact people who ran their mouths a lot had a habit of spilling out information that wasn’t for the more, normal citizen. Xicon shrugged a bit, moving the holster of his gunblade to his back for now, he didn’t want to seem more scary, he wantd to be a bit more neutral at time such as this. He kept people at a distance usually, not to him beign a so called lone wolf, no he wanted to remain, hidden from the majority of people. He didn’t want to be famous, heroic, well known and the like, however he had some other pans for the future, ones he didn’t talk about very often.

But he wished to move an action in place, to Xicon actions spoke louder then words in the end body language, gestures and hidden signs were what he actually preferred to look to in a normal conversion, if you could call them that. But no matter, the slender, pale man gestured a bit, deep intot he ruin. His long, bony fingers stretching out towards the abyss in which was shrouded from the intense rays of the sun overhead. A more, cryptic gesture then anything, if Xicon had the ability to summon ugs o the like, he’d make them crawl from the ruin when he gestured, of course for shits and giggles, only if he had the power indeed. But he decided to sspeak once again, another sentence after the other, a world record for him, but this situation required more dialogue then he had cared for, digressing about it, he made his question in his deep, masculine voice.

”… Being how there is two of us, and rather then going alone in a death trap, perhaps we should….. ally with each other and look into the ruin, yes…?

"Scouting eh?" he said as the man gave him a very simple, and straight forward answer although he didn't really mind it he did wonder why he was like that. Maybe this guy had some secrets, or reasons to keep people at a distance then again why else would he be so...Uh....Silent? He didn't know how to describe the guys attitude, but he figured he could speak some more "Well I was just wandering...I uh...Got lost actually...haha. I was heading down to the Nation, for some business. Lost my way, found this place by chance, figured I'd spend the night here then head out at sunrise" he explained without really revealing anything major, and only showing the main body of his plans. Standing there it didn't take long before the guy got all weird on him again he suddenly pointed off to the side, Dartz trailed the man's arm, and then followed off the end of his finger staring in the direction the man was pointing there he saw darkness?

No, well yes darkness but it was the shadows of the entrance that led to ruins it seemed at least this is what Dartz got from what the Xicon guy had just said. He pondered the idea for a minute, then turned his head towards the tall, pale, and scary guy a smile on Dartz face "I wouldn't mind getting lost in there with Mari...Eh?" he said with a gesturing nudge but not actually nudging Xicon, not wanting to invade any personal space. A chuckle would escape Dartz smirking lips at his implication, but he wasn't quite sure Xicon would get it, so then he went back to the previous topic with a firm nod he said "Sure" so simple was his answer, and so easily he gave it when it came to trusting a player he had met just once before.

Resting his spear over his shoulder the spearhead pointed diagonally towards the broken ceiling of the ruins. "What do you know about the place?" he asked rather curiously before making any movement towards the entrance, but if Xicon moved then he would go along with it. Fairly confident the two of them can handle whatever lurks in there, and fairly confident he could handle Xicon if he tried to screw him over somehow.
