Who: Al Saiduq (NPC version), generic NPC civilians, and you!
Where: Libra Ward, anywhere within it.
Summary: There still seems to be some civil unrest in Hinoto-Ri. You may want to help that floating albino guy deal with it...
Warnings: Possible discussions of the Anoli attack, NPCs being NPCs.

Saiduq was not one who...walked. He could do the motion like most other humanoid-beings, but it felt awkward and unnatural to one who was not beholden to gravity. If he wanted to go from point A to point B, he teleported, or flew. That was it. Even Hinoto-Ri hadn't given him a need to alter that pattern.

Apparently that had drawn the ire of a few people, however, given he'd been all but dragged in to an anti-Guests conversation. And yet, despite the nature of the conversation, he didn't seem aware that his hovering and curious, neutral speaking tone were just irritating the citizens even more. If anything, he just seemed to grow even more confused as the civilians grew more aggravated. Dare you get involved?

((If you tag in, we'll set up the overheard conversations. So, please wait for both the NPC and this account to tag before responding!))

"I do not suspect that any Visitor would bring the people here to harm."

Suspect being the keyword. He'd be outright lying if he guaranteed it. How was he to know who Philemon would draw across the veil next?

"Even if one Guest did try such, others would stop them, as would your government."

Desco, who is floating next to Weird Floaty Guy, nods her head in agreement, tentacles flexing.

"That's right! Humans should not fight humans!"

[andcarryabigknife]

"That is correct," he said, agreeing with the... thing. "Our help would be wasted if you all began fighting among yourselves."

[hinoto_npcs]

"U-Uwaaah!" The teenager from earlier stumbled back at the sight of Desco, pointing wildly at her. "It's her! She was the one that was killing and decapitating people!"

Immediately the crowd began shifting and moving in agitated, barely suppressed panic. Oh dear, this situation was about to explode dangerously.

[tyrantball]

Desco beams in response to the accusation, her claws planted firmly on her hips.

"Desco was just doing her duty as the Final Boss! Desco managed to get seventeen of them before the policeman asked her to switch over to live capture!"

With that, she spreads her arms wide, palms facing towards the sky, as she addresses the crowd.

"Desco promises you, as the Ultimate Final Boss, that she will personally hunt down all the Anoli and use them as raw materials for her Skull Throne!"

Please excuse Desco, she is overcome with her own magnificence and will just be giggling like a small child for a while.

[andcarryabigknife]

Desco has broken Gale's brain. He will just be staring incredulously now at your own foolishness.

[viditlibertas]

...make that two broken brains and two people staring incredulously.

[hinoto_npcs]

"She said she was going to make a skull throne from her enemies!" someone shouted from within the crowd, pitching their voice to be heard. They didn't sound as frightened as the rest of the crowd, weirdly. "She's going to kill us!"

[hinoto_npcs]

"K-Kill us?! Ahh... ahhhhh!! Monster!"

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand there we go, full blown panicked mob form activate!

[tyrantball]

And now Desco is pouting.

"Hey! Don't put words in Desco's mouths! Killing normal people is beneath Desco's dignity as the Final Boss!"

[andcarryabigknife]

"Please remain quiet."

This is Gale talk for SHUT UP KID YOU'RE MAKING THIS WORSE.

[hinoto_npcs]

The whole group was chattering loudly and nervously, shifting around and forming a sort of semi-circle around the Visitors. This could be bad if someone didn't calm them down...

"We can't let them pick on us like this! We need to show these monsters who's boss, s-show them they need to get out of our city--!"

[hinoto_npcs]

A bottle comes sailing from the back of the mob, aiming for Desco's head.

"Murderers! Killers! Monsters!"
