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!))

"Mmn." He nodded, looking back at the woman and, even if it didn't seem like he was paying much attention, he did look saddened. Finally, Tatsuya turns back to the teen, craning his neck a bit to look at him.

"What do you think? Did the Visitors being there give the Anoli every right to attack? Or would they have done it anyway?"

You've been here longer than he has, you're probably an expert compared to Tatsuya!

"That's what everyone's saying," the teenager shrugged, glancing over at the woman who was still ragging on about the injustice of the situation. "Like, the Mayor thought the visitors would help stop the Anoli, or, something like that, and if they hadn't been here, the Mayor wouldn't've made such a dumb idea, and the Anoli wouldn't've attacked. I dunno man, I'm just here to see what everyone's shoutin' about."

"I can hear what everyone else is saying. What do you think?"

Oh boy here we go.

"The Anoli caused trouble here before this, didn't they?"

"W-What's with these questions, man?" the teenager asked uncomfortably. "I dunno, I guess? I mean, they attacked a tournament before, or something, I think, about five years ago? But - but you heard the tv guy! They didn't like the visitors being here, so they attacked the tournament because of them!"
