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!))

"Tch, I don't have to!" the ringleader snapped, "We saw quite enough of you visitors at the stadium! Attacking and killing - you were more dangerous than the Anoli themselves!"

[hinoto_npcs]

"That's right! Some of you were - awful! That, monster girl, she killed so many...!" a woman cried out, sounding genuinely horrified at the memories.

"Defending one's self as well as the various civilians does not itself create a dangerous situation- the ones that forced this upon the stadium are at fault for that."

Saiduq turned his gaze to Yukiko, some of the saddened look ebbing away.

"You were one of those who sought to protect people, were you not?"

She nodded to the boy. "I was."

Then the priestess gazed at the scared and worried townspeople. The only reason why they're acting like this is because they're afraid and no one is telling them anything. These people need help it sounds like but it's like the government isn't listening. Or are they?

"Where I came from, all we wanted to do was to protect our home from danger. I know that a majority of us were not focused on fighting the Anoli but to make sure innocent people got out safely."

"The monster girl wasn't defendin' anything, she just wanted to hurt and hurt and hurt! She was talking about making a throne out of their skulls--!"

[hinoto_npcs]

"Go protect your own home, then! We don't need you here! It's your fault the Anoli even showed up at all, they hadn't done anything until you all showed up!"
