(Setting) Downtown backstreets
| >Zeph almost misses a shiny little object drenched in a puddle.
Zeph:"What do we have here?"
>He stoops to pick up a gold-leaf card. It says "Luna Inn" on the scanning face. Zeph looks up at the neon signs -now unlit- hung around the alley.
Zeph:"Luna Inn.. sounds familiar. Maybe there's something good sitting in one of the rooms. Something that can help me call for help."
| >Zeph turns suddenly at the sounds of footsteps behind him.
Zeph:"If you're one of Ig's goons, I'll run ya through before you can scream!"
>He looks down the road towards the doors to the high-rises.
Zeph:"Show yourself, ya coward!"
| (ooc: awaiting new player to hop in)
| >Suddenly a large figure comes out from the shadows, three lines glowing on a single mask make an appearance as it gets closer to you, exposing a huge suit of power armor made of gears and metal slabs, painted haphazardly with quotes in bright yellow paint scribbled everywhere along the main plaques.
"Well, no need to be rowdy fella, I was just passing by'"
>Falschen says with a highly modified voice, with a faint german accent
| >Zeph looks into the eyes of the mask.
Zeph:"You look like you've seen alota action, with that suit and all."
>He quickly wipes the blood of the sharpened end of his pipe before walking up to Falschen.
Zeph:"You think you can help me out? I'm lookin for a way outta Downtown, gotta meet with my buddies over in Neon."

"Sure, but I gotta ask, what tha' hell got you out like this, its crazy out here fella"
>Falschen laughs boisterously
"I hope you aint doing anything bad eh?"
| >He chuckles.
Zeph:"It's a long story involving an old model Lilim, a bad power supply, and whatever the heck is goin on with this amnesia thing. The good news is Aurum has 'er battery replaced, bad news is now we've got to get back to her folks.
| >Zeph paces back and forth impatiently.
Zeph:"I've had it with this 'outbreak'. I wanna get outa here before some loco decides to blast the whole place. And don't worry, I've only stolen a few things, nothin bad, I promise.

"Right, you better not lie fella, I hate liars"
>Falschen stretches and then looks around
"So how about ya follow me, Ill get you outta here"
| Zeph:"Sure thing!"
>Zeph steps back and lets out a sharp whistle. A few moments later, a Lilim emerges from a dark stairwell. She walks to the two men with the stiffness of an old model, but it looks like she has had some modern enhancements.
>Zeph puts his arm around her while she looks around nervously.
Zeph:"I guess now's as good as ever to make introductions. I'm Zephyr, but you can just call me Zeph. This is my friend Aurum."
| >Aurum waives her hand in greeting. She keeps glancing about, not making eye contact with anyone.
Zeph:"And you are ...?"
| >Falschen turns around and laughs a bit
"To think there are people around here who don't know my name yet, you're new around here aren't you?"
>He extends an armored glove towards Zeph
"The name's Falschen, the armored Crusader of GC, vigilente extraordinaire!"

Zeph:"I need to get outa here quick."
>Zeph starts off down the road headed towards the neighborhood BTC bar.
