Ok, Azrael, Rah and Takuan, you start to head badck, to meet up with Rand, Galder and (presumably) Rianna.
Suddenly, there is a loud piercing wail. All three of you go through at least three quarters of the motions of drawing your lightsabre, before you realise it is the fire alarm. Sprinklers go off.
"Please proceed to the nearest evacuation point," says a calm voice over the intercom.
-
Rand, you acknowledge the signal and move back towards the cafe. To your satisfaction, no-one has taken your place. In fact, no-one has taken ANY place. In fact, where the heck IS everyone?
No wait, there is one person nearby. You can hear running feet in the distance. Someone appears, at the far side of the nearby river, taking an urgent-seeming look at you guys from a balcony.
"Galder!" he calls out.
Odd, Galder, That wasn't "We meet again and now you die," like you expected. Or "There he is, go get him." This was more like "Oi!", as if he knows you. You peer at the man across the river; looks like some form of engeinner; worn looking, cheap clothes, which are rather worn in turn. Are you supposed to recognise him?
