He was proud of the RV, despite all of its quirks and frequent breakdowns.  He considered all the pitstops "part of the adventure", so he took each problem in stride.  Razzly on the other hand seemed more annoyed about it than ever.  A few minutes later, Jaster was pulling into an un-occupied spot and turning off the ignition.  "Ahhh, here we are, glorious Eden, the newest city in America," he said as he lazily stretched out, breathing in the fresh air.  Eden had only recently been built 10 years ago.  After Lexcorp had decided to build its headquarters in the middle of nowhere, it was only natural that a city had built up around it.  When asked on television why he had made the decision to build his new headquarters in the middle of nowhere, Lexcorp CEO Martin Lexor had only grinned at the camera, "big things are going to be happening there in a few years, mark my words." Lexcorp had its hands in a little bit of everything, both legal and otherwise (though never quite proven), so it was no surprise that the multi-national giant had the money to accomplish the task, though it had raised the eyebrows of quite a few folks. <br/>Jaster grinned and struck a pose for Razzly, hoping to alleviate her mood, "well, mister Lexor was right about one thing. Big things ARE happening here, for I have arrived!"<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Razzly couldn't stiffle the giggle as she watched her goofy boyfriend strike a pose.  "Careful, if your ego grows, you won't fit inside this Demonspawn," she warned.  She grabbed a local map of the city from the glove box and slammed the passenger door shut. To spite her, it slowly creaked back open.  After considerable effort, she got it to shut fully, and took a look at the map.  "There's a park near. I could use the walk. Shall we?"<br/>-------------------------<br/>A short while after the RV passed by Sarge, a rather unremarkable sedan with no license plates and tinted windows passed down the road. Though it wasn't obvious to most people, it gave off a chilly feel to it, as if whomever inside it was someone not to be trifled with.<br/><br/>---------------------------<br/>As Ariya was walking through the city, she could glean little bits of conversation from the random passers-by.  The general mood they gave off was of anticipation, though of what they couldn't guess.  It was almost like how animals know when a big storm is coming. At the moment, two teenage girls were walking along.<br/>"What did you think about that speech,"<br/>"I dunno, I think they're all looney."<br/>"I know, me too.  As if the world could change in an instant."<br/>"yeah, people will believe anything.  I just wish they wouldn't take up so much space at the park. I was really looking forward to relaxing there, but they totally killed the mood."<br/>----------------------------<br/>In the park, a growing number of people were gathering around a podium. It looked like a crowd was gathering around a speaker of some sort, though Mikoto couldn't make out what they were saying from where she was.<br/><br/>-----------------------------<br/>Though Talon didn't know it, he was being regarded by a pair of careful eyes.<br/>Steathily, the owner of the eyes approached the man.
