[Street Near Gate] Awakening (Open)

[Mason Sinovian]

Moving through the corridors, weaving between the many people, and ignoring the hawkers was becoming second nature to Mason. He had been in Syliras for just over a week, but he already knew which corridors to take to get where he wanted in the shortest amount of time. Coming up the stairs from The Great Bazaar, Mason looked around to figure out where he wanted to go next. Typically on days off, he liked to walk the lanes to observe the people or look at anything new that he might have missed during previous walk-abouts. Hmm, its been a pretty good amount of time since I went over to the Main Gate. I wonder what Aenysa is doing? Probably waving and bouncing around like usual. thought Mason, chuckling to himself. Nearly to the Main Gate, Mason noticed a man look around, then duck inside an alley. Hmm...that's odd., he thought. Moving directly towards the alley that the person went down, he looked around to see if anyone else noticed anything strange. Everyone seemed to be in their own world or maybe it's that what he saw was a common way to leave a main causeway. "Well, someone needs to check what that was all about..." Entering the mouth of the alley, Mason was shocked at what unfolded in front of him. A man was standing near the alley wall with blood all over his head looking slightly disoriented. Another man, facing the wounded man, appeared to be taking advantage of the situation. "Hey! Hey, you! What do you think you are doing to that man?" yelled Mason as he stared down the man attacking the guy next to the wall.

[Torr]

Torr and his dog Chief where weaving through the crowds, tired of pushing his way through the mass of people he entered the first alley he saw.
"Thats a lot better eh Chief?" Torr said and gave the dog a few pats on the head.

"Hey! Hey, you! What do you think you are doing to that man?"

Torr frowned underneath his mask, proberly some idiot had got himself mugged and some other guy saw it, nothing to do with him.
He started to walk the other way. "Common Chief its got nothing to do with us." He took a few steps before noticing Chief wasn't following him. "Chief?" He looked around and saw Chief running around the corner on the other side of the alley right towards the place where the yelling would have come from.
"For the love of..." Torr muttered under his breath before running after his dog.

[Iasc]

OOCI hope there's room for one more
If there's not let me know

Iasc wandered the streets slowly, deep in contemplation. He walked with his hands behind his back, clasped together, and his head slightly bowed. He had worked out long ago the streets where people don't visit and moving between them, unseen, had become almost second nature to him.

He had much on his mind, much to think about. He liked to be alone when in this contemplative state. His room was quiet since he lived alone but it was far too confined. The next best place was the streets and he enjoyed walking them, especially when there was no-one else about.

He had been out for a few bells by this stage and was beginning to get hungry. He looked around and noticed something familiar. He thought for a second, “The gate is just up there.” He turned towards where the main gate was located. He spun completely around, now facing in the opposite direction, his slow, aimless, rambling pace now substituted for a more meaningful one.

He was on his way to purchase some food when he heard some commotion on another street. He quickly followed the sound, curious to see what was happening. Slowing down, he peered around a corner and noticed four men and a dog.

The first thing Iasc saw was the dried blood on one of the men's head and on the ground. He recoiled in horror. Barely able to move he watched as one of the men closed in on the two of the others. He gritted his teeth. “There must have been a struggle”, he thought, looking at the scene. “I wonder what he did?” Iasc stared at the tall, skinny man.
He held back, nervously waiting for what was about to come, too scared to make a move in case it would be his last.

[Hadrian]

Hadrian bristled immediately, standing bolt up right and watching man after man come down the alley after him. Just as he had suspected: Thomas was up to something. The first looked like he might be a knight -- had another gone rogue when his brothers and sisters weren't watching? The second wore a mask and had a dog. The third one... this was rapidly becoming an overwhelming situation. He backed away, hands held up to show he had no weapons. One wasn't supposed to need them in Syliras. None of them were close enough to see the faint scars on his palms, not that they would likely understand what that meant, and not that he could back that up with much power. "I don't have much money," he said in a calm, reasonable voice, "and I don't want any trouble."

[Thomas Alexandrite]

Thomas looked horrified as something small blew up in his face. "Stop everybody, this man had nothing to do with whatever had happened to me. I was attacked outside of the city and left for dead, but i luckily made it here." Thomas said looking at Hadrian.

"Really, I am not going to do anything." Thomas said to Hadrian. "All this man did was offer to help me, thats all, I swear." Thomas said, a little winded from his injuries. Thomas felt completely pathetic. Creating drama, getting into situations that were dangerous for him at such ayoung age.

[Torr]

Torr watched the situation get out of hand, and the desperate pleading of the kid was grating his nerves.
"Look I don't know what happend here , But I just wanted to get my dog! "
He pointed at chief, who gave a happy bark when he heard torr mentioning him.
"Who probably came here because he smelt that guy's blood. So I am not here to rob anyone!"

[Mason Sinovian]

Adrenaline pumped into his veins as his heart beat faster and faster increasing the blood flow to his hands. Mason had never intentionally wanted to hurt anybody, but he was certainly prepared to defend himself. "What the hell is going on here?" growled Mason as he tried to keep an eye on all the people that suddenly crowded the alley way. Feeling like he had walked into a trap, Mason slowly moved so that he had his back facing the alley wall. Just stay calm, he said to himself as he felt the level of adrenaline escalate. He was getting a little scared, he had never been in a situation like this before. "You are a farmer!" Mason told himself. You're not some silly Knight from Grandfather's stories. Run. Just run before it is too late. His conscious was starting to get the better of him. Getting ready to charge out of the Alley, Mason heard the bloodied man begin to assure everyone of their innocence and relay vague details regarding the injuries. Feeling extremely confused, Mason scanned all the faces in the alley; observing a blank expression, confusion, and even frustration. Feeling a bit awkward now, adrenaline subsiding, Mason decided that something had to be done. "You there with your hands up. He said you were here to help him?", pointing with his chin at the injured man, never taking his eyes off the tall man. "Well what are we doing here standing around like deer in a wheat field. Let's get this guy some help!"

[Torr]

"Fine,fine." Torr said in an annoyed voice as he walked towards the wounded young man. "Look kid," He said as he squatted beside him. " That guy is as thin as a stick, he doesn't even look like he could lift a carrot without pulling a muscle, And I doubt you can walk with that." He pointed to the wound on Thomas's head. "So lean on me while we lead you to a doc, Kay?" Torr pulled the kid as carefully as he could on his feet. Throwing the kids arm over his shoulder and grabbed the kid by his waist.
"So Does anybody know where the doc is?"

OOC: Also I really don't know if this is an action that is illegal. I am forcing him to do something isn't it?

[Iasc]

Iasc looked at the faces around him. No-one seemed to know what was happening, each person looked just as confused as the last, but they all had their eyes on the tall man, who quickly proclaimed his innocence to any crime that had supposedly been committed. The man who was bleeding then backed up this claim erratically with only a fraction of the composure of the tall man.

Iasc slowly edged closer, his eyes flitting expectantly from one person to the other. He still wasn't sure what to think of the situation. He knew that it could easily be any number of traps, but decided to test his luck and moved towards the injured man. “I agree”, he proclaimed. “We must get this man some help. We need a healer”, he echoed the earlier statement. “Only if you think you require it”, he added quickly to the the injured man, hoping not to offend. He offered his shoulder for the man to lean on if he wanted.

“My name is Iasc”, he said, offering a small smile. “It's a pity we couldn't have met under better circumstances.”
His eyes shot once again to the tall man, ready for any possible mischief that might ensue, although he looked quite harmless, not like someone up for a fight. Iasc relaxed his guard feeling a bit safer up close. He smiled at the tall man and gave a nod, before turning his attention back to the bleeding person.

[Thomas Alexandrite]

Thomas was greatfull of the help from complete strangers. The scene had calmed and everybody was now not gripping at peoples throats. Thomas pullde away from the two helping. "I think i will be able to walk. I just dont know where I am, I must of got attacked outside of the walls. All I can seem to remember is waking in water, then next I was here. I am completely sorry to of disturbed the coarse of any of your day." Thomas said looking towards the dog.

Thomas thought he was going crazy because he could, well he thought, that he could here the dog speaking. He looked at the owner of dog, "What kind of dog is it?" asked Thomas.
