Location: Legion HQ
((OOC: February 19, 2521, mid-afternoon. Open to anyone.))
Ebran had just gotten off of the train, checking to make sure that he had everything. With everything that had been going on recently (he would have loved to fly around in an airship last year, but that hadn't been possible thanks to everything that had been going on), it had been quite awhile since he had visited the city.
Funny.
Five years ago, he had been thinking about moving to this part of town; while it was closer to the governmental district, he had had a promising offer from a reputable university and would have been able to teach soccer to young kids as a side job. Now he was a Hunter, only seeking new jobs and bounties that had to do with ancient ruins and other non-combat oriented jobs.
"How much has it changed since I last went to the shopping center?"
For that matter. How was he going to find the shopping center?!

Still nothing.
Sometimes, Aeolus wondered why he kept going back to Legion when Master Thomas was nowhere to be seen. Was he running on some sort of hope that he'd just find the man there? What a silly thought. And, there was still no sign of the others. Aeolus huffed, his business with this place done, and then continued on his way.
What should he do today now? Reduce the population of fools by one again?

(OOC: I need this boy to be more outgoing)
Vent was currently patrolling Legion as the good Guardian he is. Despite being one of the two Co-Commanders of the Guardians, both he and his sister are more "in the field" type commanders compared to how Prairie was.
Come on, you think the two most heroic Mega Men would just sit around in an air ship's bridge most of the type? No of course not. Granted, they still need to go back to the base every now and then of course to keep doing their jobs as Commanders.
So now he was simply just walking around, making sure nothing bad was going to happen. After all, Master Thomas and Mihkail disappeared only a short time after Master Albert and Ouroboros were destroyed. Who knows what kind of bad things could happen just because criminals could start thinking they could do whatever they want now that the Sage Trinity are gone.
He hadn't noticed Aeolus yet, nor had Model X detected Model H yet, so he kept walking.
He overheard one guy who . . . well he had a young looking face. Maybe he was close to his same age? Anyways, he overheard a guy ask a question out loud and he approached the guy.
"Hi. Sorry for eavesdropping, but I was curious. Are you a returning visitor to Legion and Innerpeace?" he asked.

So for the moment, Ebran people-watched a bit, wondering whether he should approach anyone that was currently in Legion for help with directions. Most of the people looked a little too busy or somewhat snobby. One guy in particular, a man with mint green hair and particularly rich clothes, seemed a tad familiar because Ebran had seen his Megamerged form on expensive bounties, but he wasn't going to approach him. Nope. Unless he thinks Ebran is a fool for getting lost and says so. Or unless he suddenly attacks for being a Hunter or being associated with a Guardian.
Fortunately for the guy, he didn't have to approach anyone. The young Hunter turned around as a somewhat familiar man with long brown hair approached him. Wasn't this the guy that he had seen around Hunter's Camp last year? He wasn't sure, but he was being a bit friendly at the moment. He hoped.
"Yeah, I am! It's just been awhile, that's all..." Ebran looked a little embarrassed at having been found out as a stranger rather quickly. "I've been here before, but like I said, I usually don't come here so I never can remember where everything is."

There were so many choices. Either he could go reduce the foolish population by at least one, go see more about the rumors of the other Megamen or just go and have a nice cup of tea. Knowing how uneventful time had run for him since Master Thomas disappeared, Aeolus had a feeling he'd be spending his time being idle again.
He kept on walking, passing by people on the sidewalk, overhearing someone asking another if the latter was a returning visitor. Oh, look more fools from the Outlands. Aeolus had the urge to walk over and scold that foolish newcomer for not bringing or even thinking of looking at a site map. How can someone not think of doing something so simple as that?!
Because they're ignorant fools. That's why.
Aeolus hadn't noticed Vent yet, nor did Model H notice Model X.

"Don't worry, I understand," Vent replied to him. "My name's Vent."
Model X thought he felt a disturbance in the force sensed something. It was. . . odd at best. But he wouldn't dismiss it just yet. Just gonna stay quiet about it and wait till it becomes more dangerous.
"So, is there any place ya need to go to specifically?" Vent asked. "I can give ya directions or I could lead ya to wherever ya need to go to."

Ebran himself wouldn't notice the Biometals at all unless they physically went out in front of his face since he couldn't sense or hear them, having no Biometal of his own. The young man gave a bit of an embarrassed smile as Vent said that he understood. Oh really? Well, at least he wasn't snubbing him or thinking he was an idiot for not knowing his way around.
"Thanks Vent. My name's Ebran. You'd think they'd have some maps at the train station, but somehow, they were out. I'm still not sure how that happened."
Hm, there was a place he needed to go, though he got the impression that he was being looked at. By whom, he didn't know, so he continued to focus on Vent.
"I was just trying to find my way to the shopping mall somewhere in the city... I think there's some good antique shops there." Ebran's eyes actually lit up at the prospect of finding an antique shop.

Unfortunately, Aeolus still thinks of the newcomer as an ignorant fool. Maps are a basic necessity for traveling. How hard would it be to look up the location one would be visiting? Or better yet, one could always ask a friendly station attendant. But of course, Aeolus didn't need to do that; he knows his way around!
A dark stare appeared on Aeolus' face. Did that newcomer just say that the station maps were out? Hopeless; humanity is doomed!
...There's something familiar about that brown-haired man.
...There's something familiar around here...

"Nice to meet you Ebran," Vent replied to the guy's introduction. "Wait seriously? They were out? I didn't think many people traveled to Legion and Innerpeace this time of year, haha. Something special must be going on around here."
. . . Odd. Why was Vent feeling a sense of danger?
"Oh, well in that case the shopping mall is-" And while Vent is giving Ebran directions to where the Shopping Mall is from here, X spoke in a very low voice to Vent. "There's a biometal nearby. Not on the boy, but someone in the crowd."
That was a good enough warning to let Vent know to keep his eyes open while he's talking with Ebran.

Perhaps the one that constantly called others the fool and was following him around was the fool himself! In the words of someone wise, 'Who is more foolish, the fool, or the fool that follows him?', Aeolus was the real fool here. Ebran was not aware of what the other man's thoughts were, so he just nodded as Vent asked his question.
"Nice to meet you too! And no kidding. Is there anything going on around here where there would be a lot of people?"
Well, at least he now knew the way to where the Shopping Center was. If he could just find a map at a gift shop, or something, then he would be perfectly set! Speaking of... those looked like free maps in a holder of that little shop. He went over and picked one of the last few maps up, and then walked back over to Vent.
"Thanks for the directions, by the way. I'll probably be fine upon finding my way now... glad that shop still had a few maps left... unless you're headed that way yourself?"
He wouldn't mind company. Naturally, Ebran couldn't hear Model X talking, so he would only know that something was up if Vent mentioned it or Aeolus did something.

Aeolus rolled his eyes. And to think education existed! But even then, who counted on schools? Feeding students with farce and controlled information? It's no wonder the masses have remained ignorant! Like the fools they are, they believed and followed whatever data was spoon-fed to them. It was sickening.
He continued to stand there, listening in to their conversation...Though he couldn't shake off the feeling that he knew that brown-haired man. Which was odd; Aeolus would know if he'd met him at least once...with hair like that...
Shopping district...To go have tea or to not go where the fools are going; that is the question.

"Not that I know of, I'm sorry to say," Vent responded to Ebran's question. "I don't think today is a holiday, unless I am mistaken."
As Ebran walked to get a map, Vent looked around. He saw one guy with mint green hair looking in their direction and paused to meet his gaze. There was something familiar about that boy staring in his direction. What a rude boy! Staring at strangers with a semi-menacing glare like that. His face is going to get stuck like that one day if he's not careful.
Vent's attention went back to Ebran when he returned from the stand. "I can't think I have anything to do there, unless you want me to come along just for a little extra insurance."

"Hm. That shop was down to its last few maps as well. I guess there must've been another reason that the maps were out then, or it was just bad luck on my part. Oh well."
Ebran picked up his map and opened it up as he walked back over to where Vent was. Huh, that shade of green looked a bit familiar, as he didn't remember seeing Aeolus at the station. Who the heck was he and why was he glaring at him?
Eh, unless he attacked, Ebran wasn't going to do anything. Instead, he turned to Vent, who had been nothing but hospitable instead of the mint-green-haired fool person.
"It's up to you, I don't want to take up too much of your time for no reason."

This is getting him nowhere. Nowhere at all! Aeolus huffed as the outsider went to get a map. "Tch, took him long enough." he muttered under his breath as he turned around to leave. However, he felt like someone was looking at him; he paused in mid-step and saw that brown-haired young man staring at him.
There was really something very familiar about that young man, Aeolus thought, staring back at Vent. Goofy-looking fellow. Must be an idiot.
They were going to the shopping district; Aeolus turned his head to the side, snubbing the two before he went on his way.

What a very rude green colored youth. Oh well, at least he's gone now.
"Nah it's not too much trouble. I've got enough free time," he said to Ebran. He'll have to check in on that green guy later. There was. . . something unsettling about that guy.
