"Oh, cool. Anyway, during the fight...I kinda did something like...hmm..." Rakiri thinks for a moment, idly raising his hand which sparks briefly before one of the metal marbles reacts and flies into his palm, as it if was attracted. "Er...that."
As the food comes, he picks up one of his skewers and starts to nom on it.

Amos nods, eagerly. "Ok. Well, let's go!" he says, Michael's enthusiasm seeming to rub off on him as he eager heads to the exit so they can begin exploring.

Tor quietly chuckles, seeming recalling something from Kyerine;s reaction. He will see that Tor seems to have basically finished his bowl already, surprisingly enough. Looks like someone was hungry.

Assuming everyone sent their information, Greg proceeds to credit everyone's accounts with the amount of 8,076 credits, except for Amos. Deciding to give him 10,076 instead, since the bonus was received thanks to his efforts.

Kyerine see's the fact Toraq is pretty much done and goes to eat quicker, falling back to a ravenous form of eating to finish up his meal quickly so he could catch up. It doesn't take him long to finish it up. "and i'm done!" He says turning on his seat to look at Tor with a bright smile.
Nos Lycarin - Outside the Delta Dash Arcade
Michael and Amos both leave the ship. Being met by the guards outside and given their access cards. The pair then able to make their way down and out of the Shard itself. The city despite the dark cloudy sky was beautiful and clean with remarkably little noise pollution. Michael excited as he guided Amos onto the monorail to ride out into the city.Both had to scan their access cards but no cost involved, transport was free due to the private landing bay in the Shard. Both are able to see as the monorail travels the bustling city and the various sights including the large Protoball Arena as various commercial areas, beautiful apartments, the advance science and tech corporation skyscrapers as well as the huge parks full of various kinds of flora, some Terran some not.
Once they disembark from their monorail onto the main street they can look around where Michael brought them, it was a clean yet not overly busy street. It was not a tourist location it was instead further out to avoid the crowds and neon lights. There was a number of tech stores, cafes, a bowling ally's, a movie theater, a tattoo parlour, a cybernetics store and a few others. Finally what was Michael's aim was a decent distance down towards the end of the street which was the brightly lit Delta Dash Arcade.
Michael happily talking with Amos on the way. "I-I.. Compared to the spacestation this place is amazing..." Michael excited and a little overwhelmed by it all.

"Good." Tor nods and takes both bowls, quickly washing them before putting them and the leftovers away for later. "In that case, I believe it's time for shopping." he says with a slight smile.

"Y-Yeah...definitely..." Amos answers, looking around just as intently. "Definitely a far cry from Kelvar...that place is more or less literally a ball of dust and scrap metal...this is unreal. Well, I mean clearly it is real, but...yeah." he says. As he spots the arcade, his eyes seem to light up. "We're going there, right? Please say yes."

"Sure." Kyerine says trying to take Toraq's hand and following him into the market or where ever he goes. Smiling happily and asking a few questions about the planet and what to expect and do as he traveled. Both curious and cautious at the prospect of going out like this.The boy was already in a bit of a better shape than before. The food already seemingly setting in a bit, his skin coloration starting to set back in and his body warning up a bit more.

Michael takes a second to jokingly consider "I don't know, I mean... Yes, we are going there!" Replying with a bit of laughter at Amos' enthusiasm. "This arcade has almost any machine on the main market and multiple VR suites." He says excitedly having done his research as the two walk closer down the street.Suddenly both of them are passed quickly by a kid, maybe a 10, or 11 year old boy who flies past on a hoverboard, heading towards the same arcade. Michael cant help but just watch him as he stumbles slightly, startled and surprised at him passing. His expression becoming a very impressed look before looking to Amos. "Woah,that looked awesome. I know the city had a lot of high tech stuff available but, I kinda want to try one or at least a sim of one."

"Pretty good. Reminds me of when I first started using magnetism. Do you think you'd need pointers for now?" Val asks Rakiri.
"How's th' food?" Mitch asks as well, continuing to eat.

Chris kisses Greg's cheek, smiling a bit coyly, "Oh...a movie, a nice candlelit dinner... Maybe followed up with a bit of dessert in our quarters." He winks and strokes Greg's cheek, then pulls up his account, transferring three quarters of his salary between the rest of the crew, split into even portions, "How does that sound, babe?"Library
Lex strokes Jiko's hair gently, "One of those overly cautious types, eh? In the manner of work I bet he gets into a lot of situations where that's saved his skin.

Sha'Koro went inside the building with the Gynoid maybe following him. "Marvelous. Truly marvelous." Just like the outside the inside was chrystaline in nature, t seemed like this whole building was made from chrystal. Sha'Koro laid his hand on a wall, it feeled smooth. "Ah, welcome, is this your first time here?"
Sha'Koro looked up smiling, the one he had talked to seemed to be a worker here, as this building he was chrystaline, so he was probably a Skecolian "Yes, indeed it is, I guess I'm easy to spot when doing such things." The crystaline figure shook his head "Well yes but please don't take offense on that... but I take it that you want to relax?"
Sha'Koro nodded "Yes, please. I wanted to hear the Singing Stones." "But of course, please, follow me." The crystal motioned Sha'Koro and maybe the Gynoid should she have followed to follow him. "The Singing Stones are in these rooms, please pick a free one and enjoy your stay here, if there is anything that is bothering you please use the button to call me." With that a crystaline door opened.
Sha'Koro stepped inside the room, it measured around 3 by 5 meters, in the middle was a table - like everything in this building crystaline - with the Singing Stones upon it, on the sides were chrystaline armchairs. Though the most marvellous thing indeed was the sound Sha'Koro head, it indeed came from the stones hearing it Sha'Koro felt... humans would call it a big stone falling off his chest. He sat down on an armchair, contentedly leaning back while silently listening to the stones. Even Aicha seemed to be affected by them as she sat down on his shoulder, using his head as a backrest.

"Well, I might just try playing around with it for a bit myself, but...well, if ya do wanna help, I'm not gonna say no or anything." he answers with a smile, and sets the marble down.
He tries to eat a particularly hot piece of meat and ends up burning his tongue. "Ow...! It's real good but...probably stop trying to eat so fast." Rakiri says, sticking out the tip of his tongue and trying to cool it off.
Outside Delta Dash Arcade
Amos watches the hoverboarder, nodding in agreement. "Oh, yeah. I've repaired a few of those myself. They're pretty fun. Now, if only I actually had the balance to stay on one for more than five seconds..." he says with a chuckle. "They might have a sim we could try out though, hopefully."
Shard Marketplace
Tor guides Kyerine around by the hand, expositing about the various stores and thins they pass, as well as other idle information he recalls from his own time here. "Do you see any store that catches your eye?"

With Toraq
Kyerine definitely holds Toraq's hand tightly, nervous in the crowds but seemingly enjoying the trip and his explanations of the stores and various amusements they pass. "Urm..." He looks around a bit more as they walk, trying to see if anything catches his eye. "What about that one?" He says pointing with his other hand at a clothing store. Likely just based on first glance of the child mannequins in the window.Elsewhere in the Market
M- Rylan had left his brother to his business at the Chairwoman apartment and made his way down towards the main market. He still had his headphones in and was listening to some music Michael gave him up at full blast. Trying to drown out the various voices around him, his head beating with a number of conflicting noises from the psionically active creatures around him.Nos Lycarin - Delta Dash Arcade
Michael nods chuckling a little bit as well with Amos. "I'm sure i'll be just as bad so no worry. We can make fools of ourselves together." Jokingly responding while clearing considering the situation carefully. "Never actually had a chance to try anything like this before. Before I got aboard the Troperia I was worrying more about busking for enough credits to just eat, never considered going out to a Arcade like this." He says clearly just making himself more excited."What about yourse-" Michael was about to ask Amos before something catches his eye up ahead.
Up ahead, right outside the arcade. Both Michael and Amos, as well as Aur who was a bit further away and across the street, all would be able to see the kid who passed the pair previously on the hoverboard. The kid was starting to slow down, getting ready to dismount but from an alleyway besides the arcade someone seems to stick out their foot right in the path of the boys ankles, throwing him from the board which continues to hover along and slow till it bumps into a individual in their late teens, dressed in a deep red hoodie who was seemingly waiting for it to come to a halt.
The boy was disorientated on the ground, turning his head back and forth trying to work out what just happened to him though he doesn't seem to look straight forward to see the individual now with his hoverboard, nor behind to the pair more individuals in their late teens. One male in a grey hoodie and one female with a barely done up black hoodie, both approaching him from behind out the alleyway the foot came from. The boy seems to be about to try and get up before the male of the pair, knocks him back down onto his back while the girl with him purposefully steps onto his left arm pinning it to the ground.
The boy doesn't seem to look directly at any of the three teens surrounding him, all of whom were fifthteen maybe sixteen, calling out firstly in a cry of pain then some words as well. "Who the hell are you three? Get off of me!"
The teens seem to all laugh a little bit at his reaction. The girl leans over, removing something akin to a cigarette from her mouth and blowing smoke at him before speaking. "Aww, don't you recognize us you spoiled little brat. You seem to know us enough to get us caught every week." Her tone changing from feigned affection to a very angry and annoyed tone.
The male who was now holding the board also speaks up. "You know this is quite the sweet board, the Steward must have poured a, lot of credits on the damn thing."
The third teen who was with the girl speaks up as well. "Yeah, he gets all the favoritism and praise yet then he asks he be treated as a normal little kid. What a fucking joke? What do you guys think, should we hang this damn bat upside down where he belongs?" He seems to ask his compatriots.
The boy tries to squirm his still pinned left left arm and get up but the third teen, the male not carrying his board just slams his boot down on the kids chest to prevent him getting up. The boy wincing and lets out a cry of pain, clearly trying to reach a watch or bracelet or something similar on his arm that was currently being crushed by the girl. "Greys Cough -son, Alexus get the hell off of me! Seriously, this hurts!" He responds to them while coughing at the smoke the girl, Alexus had blown at him.

The events that just transpired before Amos seemed like they all happened in an instant. When the girl among the bullies blows smoke in the pinned boy's face, he snaps out of his stupor and steps forward, his body seemingly moving on it's own.
"H-Hey! That was completely uncalled for! Get off him!" he exclaims.

Sha'Koro sighed, this sound was different from anything he ever heard, he could not tell how, but indeed he felt as relaxed as he never felt before, judging by her facial expression the same could be said about her. As such Sha'Koro soon lost himself in his own thoughts.

Nova stoped for a moment upon entering, quite entranced by the whole buildings construction even before seeing the crystals themselfs. This was cut short however when th worker aproached by the worker, nodding in responce to the question even if it was not directed to her, and then following the pair to the rooms.
"Is every thing here made of crys...." She started to bring herself to ask when she saw the armchairs, but then was cut off by the sound itself, her posture relaxed a bit as she kind of just watched it.

Seeing Amos shout out, Michael blinks before turning and calling out as well. "Yeah, get off of him. Pick on someone your own size not some little kid!" Michael not pining in his mind that would likely provoke in their direction over the kids. Just trying to help Amos' words.The boy still struggling as the teen, Greyson pins him and grinds his boot into the boys chest further to stop him from being able to move. Meanwhile his girlfriend, Alexus looks over with a almost seductive smile, putting a arm around Greyson. "Well look what we have here, a pair of cute hero's just move along. The brat shouldn't keep poking into other peoples business." Still pressing her foot on his arm.
The final and currently unnamed teen with the boys hoverboard just looking amused at both the pair of "heros" and at the boys clear discomfort of the boy."Hear that, get lost the brat will be fine."

Kyerine and Toraq can walk into the major clothing stores. Kyerine initially nervous and then looking excited and awe stuck looking around at the variety of things for sale. "W-oah there is soo much here. I-I-I don't know where to look. Uhm, Toraq um." Clearly looking for guidance at his unease and lack of familiarity with shopping.edited 23rd Apr '16 3:39:44 PM by darkdestinysoul

Dominic enters what appears to be a polished but otherwise nondescript building from the outside. Inside, it appears to be three parts research lab, based on the equipment and people seen behind the partially glass walls.
The other one part, which takes up the front part of the building, looks like a department store, except that they sell tech and pharmaceuticals instead of clothing. The decor and room design are mostly functional, but not to the point of being spartan, using mostly white and related colors along with a bit of wood and metal. He takes an elevator to the third floor.

Sha'Koro looked at the gynoid, feeling a bit remorse as he kinda ignored her, "Yes, Skecolia can almost be said to be a chrystaline world, mostly everything there is made from crystals, the plants have adapted to that and now grow on crystals, a truly remarkable feat, don't you think?" "Master~ Just stay silent, okay? I want to relax~" Indeed, Aicha wanted to, so Sha'Koro fell silent again, although he would definetly not mind if Nova would want to talk again.

Jiko closes his eyes at the attention and enjoys it for a moment as he answers.
"Yeah, he's always been one to measure twice and cut once, as it were," he smirks at this, "that's kind of literal too, given what he does."
When she mentions coming along, he smiles up at her, "Of course you're invited. While we've kinda been on a ship for most of it, it comes to my attention that we hardly ever go out. I'd like to rectify this." As he speaks, he replies to David.

"Come on, I have some idea of what we should buy." Tor says after some thought. He leads Kyerine off, looking to find clothes that would be both lightweight but made could keep him comfortable in extreme conditions like heat or cold.

Amos feels a bit more comfortable as both Michael and Aur speak up to the bullies as well. "You pinning him on the ground and taking his stuff doesn't look fine in any fashion. Leave the kid alone and go pick on someone your own size. Or better yet, don;t pick on anyone at all..."

Shard Marketplace - Warehouse Level
Matt-Rylan has made his way to the warehouse level. of the marketplace. Not usually a place most people go to but it was significantly quieter than elsewhere. It was a area of the market where you could find those trading things less publicly acceptable though rarely fully illegal, except for those who refuse to pay for a merchant permit. Even the security drones rarely patrol this shadow-lit area. It wasn't dark it was best described to have just enough light to know people live and work here, not the glaring neon of the main plaza and walkways.The darkness actually made him feel safer. Neon lights only reminded him of PRISM's stations. Tigarus-Delta especially came to mind, and all that meant for him. All that it made Matthe-Rylan want to destroy and break. All that it did to him...
This was all to the ignorance of the multiple large individuals who had spotted him and thought that the one and unmuscular looking fifteen year in the middle of the dark alleys was an easy target.
Shard Marketplace - Armasa Clothing
"O-Okay!" Kyerine nervously says with a nod as he follows Toraq closely, looking at the various clothing and giving his limited opinion of many of them. Mostly about colour more than anything else, a clear either naivety or inexperience with what is suitable in what environments or even social settings and with no clear realization on practicality, not really knowing what is better suited for what so he mostly just follows Toraq's opinion and choices.The lightweight ideas do seem to resonate a little bit though as Kyerine does comment on how some of the stuff looks really big and heavy to wear. Then again he weighs soo little anyway, heavy for him might be less than for most...
Nos Lycarin - The Delta Dash Arcade
The one holding the hoverboard tosses it over to the girl, Alexus as Aur starts running over. "Well look what we got here another hero." Cracking his knuckles and having one hand in-front clearly ready to defend, the other concealed behind his back.Meanwhile the guy pinning the kid looks over to Amos and just smirks. "And what are you gonna do about it? You want to take his place?" He replies arrogantly.
The boy lets out a pained cry. "G-get away, they've got a g-" At-least the boy tries to say something before the boot of the guy is clearly pressed down harder again stopping the boy from speaking and just leaving him coughing.
A few onlookers could be seen looking out at the scene from nearby building windows though the arcade itself seemed oblivious with all its flashing lights and entertainment. Michael's temperament clearly drops now made quite scared realizing this might be dangerous.

"Ah, great! I was starving!" Mitch begins to eat ravenously. He's sensible enough to retain most of his table manners, thankfully. Val begins eating at a slower pace.
