<strong>Tag</strong>:  Sully & Maria<br/><hr/><br/>Renault would get them back to the car and put Sully's bike into the trunk. It hung out the back but he had a tie down for it. From here it was only a short drive to the Hotel de Ville. Along the way Renault pointed out an obscure blue spray painted symbol on a corner and advised them it was the symbol of The Street Men gang. They came into prominence around the city shortly after the riots of 2005. Together they are a consolidation of a few other smaller street cliques.<br/><br/>Glancing to Sully in the backseat he'd said, "You should always have someone to watch your back. Our talents can fail us and we can grow weakened quickly. Especially out here with no preparation." The words were true, it was much harder to cast spells here and if an ability was used to often it got to be difficult. Distraction was also another threat, arcane abilities largely required concentration so anything that emotionally grabbed a person's attention could shatter that quickly.<br/><br/>His gaze turned to Maria and he gave her an all too friendly smile. "Isn't that correct, Maria?" We each have our gifts and special talents. The more help you have the more talents you can access."<br/><br/>As he finished talking they pulled into a parking spot just along the road beside a clean elegant looking state building. The area near here was well manicured and the buildings mostly free of graffiti. It was clearly a more well maintained section of the city. Even a police car drove by just as they pulled in and Renault was starting to get out.<br/><br/><div align="center">(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/Clichy-sous-Bois_-_Hotel-de-Ville_01.jpg/640px-Clichy-sous-Bois_-_Hotel-de-Ville_01.jpg)</div>
