That couldn't have been a metorite that had hit him, he'd have had a hole straight through him. "That's curious. Wonder if this guy has something like that."  He knelt beside the unconcious one and went through his pockets looking for... <em>for what exactly? A shard? A fragmente of a Metorite? Kryptonite?</em> <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>As he rummaged through the mans pockets, Jacob's hand came across something crystalline that had a soft yellow glow to it. He could feel an energy coming from it, not unlike electricity yet not at all painful. In fact, it felt like something familiar.<br/><br/>---------------------<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=73430.msg3276731#msg3276731">Quote from: cmpuncle on 11-07-2010, 20:40:40</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"I should just need my own skills, although it seems you know more about these 'powers' that I now have than I do.  So if possible a little bit of training with them would be useful."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>"yes, sending you into the hornets nest with little training is definitely a bad idea.  Before we begin the training though, you should take this," he said as he handed Shroudblow a communicator.  "This'll allow you to keep in contact with me from anywhere in this city. Now, let's head out to my back yard. My living room is definitely not a good place for the kind of practice we'll be doing."<br/><br/>------------------------<br/>As Talon approached the Lexcorp buidling, he noticed a figure standing by himself ahead of him.  When he got close enough, the man started to approach him.  "Out of curiosity, are you headed for the Lexcorp building?"<br/><br/>-----------------------------<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=73430.msg3276410#msg3276410">Quote from: Zarazel on 11-07-2010, 19:33:35</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Mikoto stopped and looked at the man, "like you know what the hell is going on...you are as confused as I am". She shrugged and sighed, "I don't know what you mean but if you mean the sword that was in the meteorite I don't care, I just want to get out of the damn city". <br/>She looked around and groaned, "now where the hell is my motorcycle".

And to clear the record, I do actually know a bit more about what's going on than the average resident of this fine city," he said, stamping out the remains of his current cigarette and lighting another one, promptly replacing it. "I'm sure you saw some of those 'cultists' preaching about how the world was about to change. After all, small groups of them were all over this city.  Doesn't it seem a bit odd that they'd be preaching like that just before the event occurred?  Truth is, most of the people in this town had no idea that this was going to happen. Those that did, well, let's just say that I wouldn't count them as friends." He stamped out this cigarette as well, and lit up yet another.  "To them, you're just a pawn in their grand scheme.  I on the other hand, I aim to throw a wrench in their plans. I'm sure you don't care about any of this, so I'll give you some advice.  If you want to leave this city and all its troubles behind, be my guest, but you're going to have to find a way past that barrier," he said, pointing at the greenish tinge in the sky.  "The information on how to do that, well, that's located in the Lexcorp building."
