Someone had beat him here – that didn’t happen very often, if ever. Not that he minded either, rationally knowing that the fewer fights he was in himself, the better, even if he had gone out with the intention to hunt. A glance around confirmed what he knew to be true however: negativity begat negativity. In lieu of a group of thugs or small-time criminals to defeat, there remained an evil spirit that lingered, watching with perverse interest, unused to being noticed by the living. He had yet to acknowledge its presence.

“You missed something,” Keisuke warned Rex, not pointing out the spirit. He’d never met another psychic before; his standards for the perception of those around him was rather low. “But I guess I should thank you for saving me some time.” Sure there was the reputation of a masked vigilante that went around this area – but even if Kei feigned any awareness of such nicknames he had earned, he wasn’t exactly the territorial sort. For all he knew, this man had his own bone to pick with these men, some unconscious, some writhing in pain, wisely keeping quiet lest any further attention be rained upon them through a flurry of attacks. 

     It’s been a while since Eleanor has been out of the city. She didn’t really know WHERE she was at. She just... kinda wandered around aimlessly and got herself lost. The ghosts back down in the subway were probably partying now that she was gone. They’d hate it if she came back.

Atieno paused for a bit. They did want to believe Rex, they really did but the way that orb seemed to be draining his energy was enough to question his reassurance.

And the statement about him being a bit woozy only moments later only seemed to confirm their suspicions. They immediately stepped in to take the orb from him ..holding it for a moment to see what it does. They can feel a slight drop but it was practically minuscule. 

“Alright, you really should just let me handle. I can take whatever drop of energy .. if any that this can cause for me. Just sit down and we can see what needs to be done to help you after this is sealed away.“

Excursions were rare. Being let outside the data log room in the station was even rarer. But when Botswana Agate had been contacted and her presence requested to get some newly formed Quartzes into shape, she brought Pearl along with her for what else? More logging and report filing. A tiring, thankless job but at least there was some respite. 

Botswana had sent her to do a sweep of the Kindergarten. Making sure the numbers were accurate. Her Agate was rather picky when it came to that. It’s during this check when she rounds the corner and comes across something or rather someone unusual. Perhaps… organic in nature? She thinks and he does seem to look the part.

“You said...”

“Aye, them’s words of wisdom right there.”
