Day 2: entr'acte
Given that Kuro and Kazuo were fast asleep back at the van, Noah had been far too restless again to stay put for long. All night he could here distant noises--various crashes and clammering... it was all alarming though strangely exciting enough. Though the world around them had come to a stop, fate was accelerating dangerously; Who knows what today would hold, especially when he planned to give his big speech to the public. Perhaps it would be best to scout out the most appropriate gathering place so the majority of the populace could gather around... Leaving the vehicle quietly without disturbing its passengers, Noah ventured into the smoky and dusted streets, weary of the lack of life on the usually bustling streets--but now it was nothing but an avenue for ghosts; He took note that there was not an animal nor bird in sight--without their usual morning chirruping it truly felt like they were stuck in a perpetual night. Were they all in hiding, or was it already too late? Interesting and yet so disturbing... Careful of his steps on the cracked concrete, Noah shielded his nose as he passed by a recently combusted car engine, giving a cough or two before his lungs were relieved from the stench of burning oil and gasoline. Awful.. there were a few instances of blood trails here and there too... just how far gone had things escalated in just one night? He had to hurry and gather followers soon before-- "Oof!" In his preoccupation, he roughly brushed against a broad shoulder that had suddenly appeared in his way--people? Just when he thought he had the streets to himself... Looking forward, flustered, Noah adjusted his glasses giving a weak chuckle. This didn't look well at all... 'Watch where the hell you're going, old man!' 'This prick thinks he's so high and mighty just cos he's dressed nice!' 'This asshole...' "Ah, excuse me... I don't want any trouble..." Oh man, these were like the stereotypical thugs you'd read about in manga... were they really singling him out at a time like this?! What to do... he had to dissuade them somehow! "Hey, do I really look that old to you? Haha..."
