[The city is quiet; there is no fighting, and it seems relatively at peace for a moment. It explains why there are some people out, but it also accounts for why there are troubled thoughts in the air. Where are the newcomers, why did they leave, why did they come back? Regardless, there are people in the streets, and the time to get to know them is

[So about that little nightclub that one Mister Nicholas Naughton has recently gotten up and running? It's a little early in the day right now, but anyone who stops by, fellow employees or curious passer-bys alike, might have a little stumble as they walk in.]

[Really. Right over the young girl crouched down in the middle of the doorway, paper scattered around her and chalk in hand as she scribbles....something along the inside of the door frame. She should have figured as much, really; time decides to jump around again, the city once more looking exactly as it did when she arrived, her power snapping back on like a light switch, and her head hasn't stopped buzzing since. And this building in particular?]

[Whoever owned the property before had to practice black magic. Just looking at the sigils scrawled along the walls, what she thought used to just be decoration, makes her head throb. She's heard all about the sort of nasty creatures black magic tends to invite in, and given how the city's been so far, she's not all too keen on

[the nice gentleman dabbling in things she still doesn't know about yet, and would he really want to ruin her more or less respected image of him just yet?]

[and does she actually....yes. yes she does. she just waves at him over her shoulder to hush, without even looking up once.] Just a moment, Mr. Naughton, I'll explain.

[just let her finish and then he can call her insane.]

[Well, since he has no pressing business anywhere today, Isaac’s taking a look around the market trying to see if there’s anything interesting for sale. Unfortunately, he’s not finding much and since his helmet’s not up, his disappointment’s pretty clear.

Still, he’s going to keep looking because there has to be something, right?]

…got to be something around here worth looking at. Maybe…no. Hmm. Might be able to…no, probably not.

[accident_npcs]

[There's a woman trying to coax him into buying some fruit - the black spots on the item say otherwise if he has any ideas about it. Across from that stand, there are two women arguing over something, it seems.]

Did you hear? The illness hit Theodore--he tried to see Nicole about it.

Poor dear, she probably turned him away like all the others. She can't do anything about it, I don't know why they try...

[fthemarker]

No thanks. I’ll pass.

[Ick. There went his appetite for a while. He looks around trying to find something that doesn’t look positively diseased. Must be something else somewhe…wait did he hear that right?

Somebody with the illness went to a see a Nicole? Couldn’t be the same person…could it? Either way, it’s an excuse to get further away from food poisoning waiting to happen. Isaac turned away from the stand and headed towards the two arguing women.]

…excuse me? Did you say Nicole?

Upper Court

[diamondsare]

[When she first arrived in Icarus, everything was a mess. Then everyone disappeared. Of course, once everyone came back, her powers vanished so she couldn’t pick up anything up. But now that things are finally back to normal for Emma, she figured it was time to check out the Upper Court and see what she could pick up from the government officials in Icarus.

Getting through the gate had been easy enough, but so far she was having a difficult time picking up anything particularly interesting from anyone here. So for now, Emma’s just standing in the middle of the district trying to figure out her next move.]

[accident_npcs]

[Strange enough? Its not an official around these parts, but a woman wrapped in a shawl, looking a bit confused as she wanders around. Her eyes widen when she sees Emma, but she tries to remain lax, keeps her hands pressed together and she keeps walking. If the other tries to read her thoughts, she'll get a scramble of things.]

[diamondsare]

[After a moment’s hesitation, Emma follows after the mystery woman. That brief glance could have been caused by anything, but she doesn’t like the fact that she couldn’t get a clear read on what caused it. Given what some people keep hidden in their heads, this could be a real problem.]

Something the matter dear? If I somehow startled you, it wasn’t intentional.
