After saving his parents from being imprisoned by the darkness, he returned to Traverse Town, and went back to his normal life. He would assist his father Derrick with delivering mail on some days, while his mother Daria would help keep the house clean. Today was a regular day it seems, nothing exciting seemed to be happening, other than some random stamp contest going on. Aside from that, it was all peaceful. Nick was sitting outside his house, waiting for something to happen, while he looked at his Dark Gauntlet. He had received this item while on his journey to save his parents, he seemed to be quite fond of it because it looked cool. He wouldn't forget the moment when he had unleashed some kind of power within him, even though he was unsure if that was the power that was locked within his body.
"Its been a few months since I've rescued my mother and father. I will never forget the journey I've made, and the people I've met along the way, including the cold pain in my hand I felt during that one battle in that one dark world. I wonder... is there more to my power than what has been seen as of far? Could there be more possibilities?" Nick asked himself as he got up from sitting up on the steps of his house. He put his right hand to his chin, thinking about what else to do today. His mother had no chores for him to do right now, and his father was out delivering mail. | |

Traverse Town
The terminus of worlds. A world where those displaced from their homes ended up eventually. If someone was lost from their original world, chances were that they'd end up right here, commingling with the other residents - Themselves people who were displaced at some point in time.
At least... That's what she was told by word of mouth travelers. It fit her dad perfectly. Someone seemingly displaced from home? Ironically it now fit her as well... But that wasn't important! Point is, she had someone to find, and if this was the universe's dumping ground, it was the best chance she had to find him. Though even keeping that in mind, this place was... Confusing. The constant veil of darkness really messed up her understanding of "regular business hours". Seems that despite everything being under a blanket of midnight, people were still actively awake and at their jobs, to say nothing of the number of citizens strolling through the quaint streets.But every citizen questioned came back with a resounding "No" when asked if they had seen the man she called father. She was certainly tired of asking questions and getting nowhere, so she did the next best thing; Patrolling the streets looking for him herself. She held a strange beeping device in her hands, combining that with the fact that her goggles were currently fixed over her eyes certainly made her look strange to the average citizens, causing her to stand out perhaps more than intended.Her travels through the streets brought her across a certain neighborhood that one Nick Laruzo lived in currently. The bright red and brass goggles, the loudly beeping tech in her hands, and the blue jumpsuit she was wearing all made her stand out like a flashlight in a dark room. Slowly she walked closer and closer down the street towards his home, her goggled eyes focused on the device. She was mumbling calculations to herself excitedly. She turned and walked right past him up the steps and stopping at the door to his home, apparently too transfixed on her searching to even notice that someone was right there next to her."... Mmmhmmmm, population density... Mid-range... Maybe... two...? No, no definitely three. That's way too many variable fingerprints to belong to just two people... Way too low, though. Darn..."She turned right around ready to leave. ... And walked right into the Laruzo's mailbox with a clang."Yo, what's the big idea bumping into an engineer at work?! I'll have you know us Al Bhed are hard working-... Oh."She chuckled to herself, rubbing her head in a bout of awkwardness. She looked around the area, hoping desperately that no one had witnessed that rather amusing exchange... And then she saw Nick sitting right there."Ueeehhh?! I'm a professional I swear!"... Although the dent she put in his mailbox argued otherwise.

Nick did notice the individual walking around, and took no mind to it. Probably thought it was someone making their way through town. After this particular individual bumped into his mailbox by mistake, he would then go over to her with curiosity. He hadn't seen anyone like this before, and it seemed like a sight to sore eyes to see something going on. He would then look at the dent in his mailbox, it didn't seem like too much of a dent. The mailbox was still in good condition, regardless of the dent itself. Thankfully, it had not fallen down.
"Greetings, I see you've accidentally dented my mailbox a bit, that's alright. It's not entirely damaged." said Nick as he dusted his jeans off a bit. He would then ask "If I may ask, whom are you? I've never seen your face around here." He would then glance at his Dark Gauntlet that was on his right hand, then back at the young lady she had encountered.

Ayami tilted her head slightly in response to his greeting. He wasn't angry about the damage? Or amused by the fact that she just yelled at a mailbox? Well, it wasn't bad though. She was way too busy to deal with repairs right now, so the fact that she was getting off "Scot free" so to speak was a lucky break."Uh, well I can fix it later... Although I'm a bit tied up at the moment so I hope you don't need this... Whatever it is right now."... Come to think of it, what WAS this thing? Why did they have boxes jutting out of the ground? Probably a local custom of this world perhaps...Well, either way seems like rather than any kind of reaction she expected, the guy just asked who she was. She would scratch her head for a moment, but soon grinned, giving a faux salute."I'm Ayami! A loyal member of the Spiran Machine Faction! I'm... A traveler from pretty far away, I guess you could say."Did they know about other worlds here...? Well, no she assumed they had to. This WAS the dumping grounds for all who lost their way after all. Well, it didn't matter either way. She left it in his hands to figure out what her vague comment meant. Chances are he could figure out "Someone from another world" pretty easily if what she's been told about Traverse town is true. She noticed him glancing at that strange gauntlet on his hand. ... He wasn't secretly pissed at her, was he?"Sweet glove. Yer not gonna use it on me are you? Like I said I'll fix the box for you later. Just can't right now because I'm on a mission!"She gave a nod to him. Noting that while his glove was definitely cool... It didn't seem to be high tech or rely on machinery as far as she could gather from a glance. She was about to leave on her way... But then it occurred to her that she could very well ask a few questions while she had his attention. Although she wanted to wait and assess the situation first. If he was secretly mad over the dented box thingy, asking questions might only aggravate him more!--- Nick Laruzo

"A pleasure to meet you, Ayami. I am Nick Laruzo, and I live here in Traverse Town, I was born here as well. Don't worry about the mail box." said Nick as he introduced himself to Ayami. She seemed to be a pretty nice lady to him so far. He was intrigued when she talked about being part of a faction, he thought it was some kind of club. When he heard Ayami talk about his gauntlet. He decided he would tell her about it.
"I've see you've noticed my gauntlet. Its called the Dark Gauntlet, its a powerful weapon it seems. Don't worry, I won't use it on you. I got this when I was on an adventure, to find my parents. They were gone for quite a while, and I missed them. The clues to finding them were in a letter I retrieved from them while they were away. It was quite a long journey, and during that journey, I discovered the hidden power within me, the power of Darkness. This gauntlet of mine seems to help with releasing that power. However, I want to use that power for good, and possibly help others. I've also had to fight during this long adventure of mine, these creatures of the heartless were no ordinary enemies. When I encountered them the first time, it came as a surprise. I had no time to think, all I could do is defend myself from these creatures. When I finally reunited with them, I was so happy." He said as he looked at his gauntlet, remembering the memories of the battles he had to go through, and all the searching he did in order to find the clues that would reveal the location of his parents when they were missing. "It was quite the adventure, one that I won't be forgetting. It all started with a letter."
After saying all that to her, he would take a breath for a moment. He would let her collect all the information that he has told her about his adventure. He also hasn't forgotten about the people he had met on his journey, they seemed pretty good to him.

Ayami gave a bright smile and took hold of his hand, shaking it enthusiastically."Nice to meetcha Nick! Born here? Interesting..."The mechanic mused aloud, so he was not only a resident, but a native? That went a little against what she had been told in regards to Traverse Town... Was it really a melting pot of travelers from other worlds? No, what she had seen still lined up with that theory. There were definitely some people who looked like they didn't belong naturally. Perhaps Traverse town had been around long enough for native born residents to come about?"I don't suppose your parents were born here too, were they? Well... It doesn't really matter, just confirming something."She took note of his gauntlet as he began to tell her about it. Well, knowing he wasn't prepared to fight with it put her at ease a little. Though the dark power in this thing... Curious. Perhaps she would have to examine it more closely later. Elemental gauntlets could come in handy if the power in this glove could be replicated effectively. She made a mental note of that idea and filed it away for later. Right now the thing that caught her attention most was his adventure - More specifically, an adventure to find lost parents. It reminded her of why she was here, on her own adventure now..."An adventure huh... Yeah I've had a few of those myself. In fact... I'm on one now, funnily enough! Dark powers? I don't suppose I've dabbled in those. Although... I can create tunnels that match what you're describing."She wasn't too up to speed on darkness typically being in the domain of evil, so his mention of using it for good was a curious statement. It certainly wasn't a BAD one though. Knowing someone would use the powers they were gifted for something positive was a choice she could get behind."I wish you luck in using it for good then! The heartless... I've already had plenty of run-ins with them myself. They're... Kinda weird. Oh! My friend actually managed to take something tangible from them! I had thought of them like phantoms, but... I suppose they're more real than that."Still, the mention of parents did bring back a lot of memories... Some good, some bad. She took on a slightly sadder expression as she looked at the ground for a moment."Parents..."She shook her head, quickly returning to smiling again. She looked at him and gave a nod."I guess that settles it then. I'm on my own adventure. Would you like to join me? I'm looking for someone important to me. I just know they have to be here...Somewhere. But I don't know this place. I'm looking for somewhere where lots of people gather."She raised the goggles up to rest on top of her head, a hopeful look of adventure in her eyes. If she had a guide for this place... Her odds of finding dad would skyrocket! It was the perfect opportunity. After all, a fellow adventurer would always jump at the chance of a new adventure right? It seemed like a win/win situation to her.--- Nick Laruzo

"I believe my parents were born here, yes. They didn't really mention about being born elsewhere. But yeah, I've lived here my entire life." said Nick as he suddenly sneezed into his arm, then said "Excuse me." afterwards. When he had heard that Ayami was looking for someone important that she knew, he was intigued. He did want to help her out, he was not sure if his parents would allow this. However, unknown to him, his mother was actually listening in on the conversation through the door. Before he would give his answer about joining her, he would talk about how using the Darkness for the first time felt.
"When it came to using Darkness for the first time, it felt cold and painful. My body must not be used this quite yet, but I hope this power doesn't overtake me. This power within me was unleashed when I was fighting some heartless in A World That Never Was, they were piling on top of me, and they wouldn't get off. I got angrier as I tried to get them off, and then... that's when it happened. I felt the veins in my right hand surge with some kind of power, this had to be the power that was within me, no doubt about it. When I was able to get in one punch against this horde of creatures, an explosion had occurred, it must of been all the power that was building up in my right hand. I watched as the heartless around me scattered. After I was able to get them off me, I stood back up. It was a long fight, but I was able to get help from a young gentleman with something they called a keyblade. It may of caused me discomfort to use that power, but I didn't let it get to me." He said as he looked at the gauntlet once more, then back at Ayami. Just as he was about to give his response about helping her look for this important someone, his mother Daria had opened the door and looked at who was on the steps to the house.
"Son, who are you speaking to?" She asked him, curious about what was happening. Nicholas turned and faced her, he was quite surprised. He believed she was listening at the door.
"Hey there mom. I was just speaking to this young lady here. Her name is Ayami." He said to his mother.
"Ah, I see. It's not very often we see a new face in this town. Why don't you both come in for a cup of hot chocolate? You must of had quite a time traveling here." said Daria as she held the door open.
"Alright then, mother." He said to her as he stood up on the stairs, then said to Ayami "Come inside for a while, my house is pretty small, but its comfy."

The Spiran Mechanic listened with curious excitement as he recalled his adventure. Her own adventures were the best to her, but... There was something just as fun about hearing someone else's adventures. Maybe it was the experience, or the suspense. Though if she had to pinpoint one reason down, it would likely be because it was a shared experience; leaving home to pursue a goal, that was something she herself had done three times now including this current adventure, even if... This time it wasn't QUITE as voluntary as the last two times. His description of the darkness somewhat matched in that her tunnels did feel cold. Although there was no pain. She chalked that up to a difference in interaction. Her device wasn't exactly injecting the thing into her arms.She would give him a nod and a whistle, still smiling as he finished his story."Sounds like you've been to hell and back then. Maybe I should share my own stories? I totally could! I've got several!! Oh, but... This "keyblade"? What's that? Some kinda new tech? An amazing future weapon?! I've gotta see one of those for myself!!!"Ayami tilted her head in curiosity. It sounded like a type of weapon given the "blade" part. And she could draw her own conclusions from the "key" part. Though her curiosity was still peaked. If any kind of tech was involved she'd be extra interested, too. And if there wasn't tech... She could always add some. Her musings were cut short however as a woman exited the house to speak to Nick. The mechanic gave Nick's mother a friendly nod in place of a traditional greeting or a wave."Hot chocolate? Well, I'm more partial to coffee or tea personally. But... Yeah I guess I could step in for a minute. I've been through a lot more crazy travels than this, you can quote me on that!"She chuckled to herself, stepping inside after Nick granted permission. It wasn't a bad place at all. She looked around the room she first entered into, it was... Peaceful. A lot different than some of the places in Spira - Where they would show scars from years of Yevon conflict, this house had none of that. It was certainly relaxing; a change of pace she could appreciate. She would take a seat at the nearest table, reclining in the chair next to it and propping her feet up onto the table itself."I'll be honest, this place is... Pretty nice. Traverse Town, I mean. It's so different from everywhere else I've visited. It's different from my home too. Surely there's a catch though right? Got any killer robots? Evil cults hiding in the shadows? Swarms of heartless threatening to tear down the walls? Ooo, that's an especially popular one lately."Though her choice of conversation might've seemed rude, it wasn't intended as such. From Spira to Radiant Garden and all the worlds inbetween, Traverse Town and Twilight Town were the only two she had ever been to that didn't seem to carry some hidden danger or scars of a rough past. It was difficult for her to believe that it was as simple as the world just being peaceful. Although at the end of the day, her tone and the context made it clear that she was more lightly joking about her own adventures rather than trying to mock the worlds she had visited."More importantly though... The reason I'm here. I'm looking for someone. If either of you have seen someone that looks like they don't belong here lately... I've gotta know. They're out there...SOMEWHERE, and I've been chasing after them for two years now."Ayami didn't elaborate on who this person of interest was, or why she was searching for them, but she didn't have an ulterior or shady motives, it was clear from her change in expression that she was merely concerned for whoever it was, although... if pressed on it, she would likely explain in greater detail about why this chase was going on to begin with.--- Nick Laruzo

Nick would sit at the table with Ayami as his mother went to go get some hot chocolate for them. From there, he would continue the conversation that he was having. The smell of fresh hot chocolate wafted through the air.
"Yeah, I've been through a lot. But it's good to be back in my beloved hometown. Also, this keyblade, is pretty much a giant key in the form of a blade. It seems very effective against the heartless, from what I've seen." said Nick. When he heard Ayami ask about if there was a catch to this town, he shook his head. He didn't mind the question, even though it was a bit of an interesting question to be asked. He answered the question with: "I wouldn't really say there's a catch to this town, other than the fact that it's usually pretty peaceful around here. We don't really get many threats in this town. But, we do host special events here at specific times of the year. They are quite wonderful."
"Yes, they are certainly wonderful. You might want to let the hot chocolate cool for a bit before drinking it. It's quite hot. But, it's fresh and delicious." said Daria as she went over to them and placed two cups of hot chocolate in front of them. She was wearing an oven mitt while handling the hot drinks, she didn't want to burn her hand or fingers while holding them. She would then pause to say to Ayami "So, you are here to search for someone close to you. I wish you luck in doing so, its hard to lose someone that is close to you." before heading back to the kitchen to clean up some dishes. While Nick looked at his hot chocolate, he thought about if he wanted to help Ayami. She seemed very concerned about finding this important person, and he knew how it felt during his journey when his parents went missing. From that, he would ask his mother if it would be okay to help her.
"Yes mother, also... about Ayami's search." said Nick as he got up from the table and looked at his mother. He was going to ask his mother about helping Ayami find the person that was important to her. His mother looked at him with curiosity.
"What is it son?" asked his mother. She was curious about what he was going to ask her, thinking it would relate to this search that Ayami was talking about.
"You see mother, I want to help her out. I feel like she would really appreciate someone helping her find this individual that is important to her. It reminds me of when you and dad had disappeared for a while, and how I've had to search many places to find you two. I also wouldn't mind another adventure. Please, let me help her." He asked his mother. His mother looked at him with a bit of concern, but with understanding. She brushed off any concern, and put on a soft smile.
"Son, even though I am concerned about you going off, I am sure you will be able to handle yourself out there. After all, you've gone through a lot to find us when we were lost. That really shows that you've grown, from all the fights you went through, and all the clues you had to find, you are now just a bit stronger. All I can ask is that you remember to come back home, and tell us about all that happened." said Daria.
"Thank you mother, I promise that I will return home. I also ask that you stay safe, I would hate for you to disappear again." said Nick.
"Of course, my son." said Daria. After she had said that, the front door opened up, it was Nick's father Derrick. He had come home earlier than usual. He actually had a short work day since it was a half day. He hung up his postman jacket on the coat hanger that was by the door.
"Hello dear, I am home. It was a half day today, so I didn't have to stay for too long. There wasn't many packages and letters to deliver anyways. Also, who is this?" said Derrick as he looked at Ayami with curiousity.
"Hey dad, this is Ayami. She came here to search for someone important. Ayami, this is my father." said Nick as he introduced her to his father Derrick.

"I've seen a lotta swords before, but nothing quite like that. I'd love to get a weapon like that under a set of tools. Wonder if it's anything like Tidus' sword... Though it looks a little closer to something Auron used. Really I bet Yuna would know more... She knows a lot about this kinda stuff! She's only the smartest person in the world!!!"The mechanic went off on her fangirl rambling about her favorite heroes... In hindsight, Nick might not have recognized even a single name she mentioned. Those guys were famous in Spira, but a total unknown elsewhere it seemed. Well, in her opinion that's only 'cause they didn't have enough time to save other worlds! Give someone like Yuna a few weeks and a problem to solve and she'd pull through, just like always!"Special events huh... We didn't have too many of those back home. I guess there was the eternal calm thing... But a lot of us are too busy to celebrate that more than once. Between the fiends, and us digging up old world tech we don't really have time to relax!"She laughed casually, taking hold of the cup and taking a big drink. ... Surprisingly it didn't seem to phase her much."Don't worry about me Ma'am, I've been burned more than a few times! There's a trick to it, you see, all you gotta do is- ... uh, well it's not really important right now."She would give a nod to the kind woman, in full agreement."It's not all bad though... I kinda thought they were dead at one point. At least I have hope now."She was... Surprised by how easily the woman agreed to allow him to come along. Most would have their hang-ups. Especially in a seemingly peaceful town. But that being said, there was surely no reason to believe this search would be dangerous, and even if there was, she was able to fight well enough to keep track of things."Doesn't take much to convince you!"A new person entered the home. Judging from his clothing and the way he talked, he was someone who delivered things. So of all people, he would've made the rounds about this place more than a few times right? She sat up, curious and prepared to ask several questions. Hopefully with his help they wouldn't even need to search."Nice to meetcha! So you get around a lot huh? I don't suppose you could answer a few questions. Uh, it's strictly professional of course."She rummaged through her bag for a moment before pulling out a note book, fully prepared to grill him for info."You haven't seen anyone that seemed... Out of place to you, have you? More specifically, someone who clearly wasn't from here. Uh, myself excluded."She flipped through the pages of her notebook for a moment before stopping on one, she would turn it around to face the postman, an image of a man sketched on the page was shown to him."Have you seen anyone who looked like this? Even a slight resemblance is enough. Even just the coat, or maybe the hair. If you've seen something like this... Maybe you can point me in the right direction? Surely with your job of delivering things you've been around a lot I'm guessing."She closed the notebook after giving him a good look at the provided sketch, putting it back in her bag.--- Nick Laruzo

"Yeah, I guess it doesn't take much to convince me." said Nick. He would then listen to Ayami talking about some certain people. He didn't know what she was talking about, but he was intrigued. Were these people great fighters? While Ayami was talking, Daria was listening in on what she was saying while she made more hot chocolate.
"A pleasure to meet you. I guess I do get around, with delivering packages that is." said Derrick. After he was shown a picture of the person that Ayami was looking for, he looked at for about five minutes and shrugged his shoulders. He replied with "I am sorry, but I haven't seen the person you are looking for. But, I do wish you good luck in doing so."
"Dad, I hope you don't mind me asking. But, would it be okay with your permission, to go and help her find whomever she is looking for?" He asked his father.
Derrick thought about it for a moment. He was unsure for a moment about allowing this, but he was also certain that he would return safely, so nodded his head and said in reply "I will allow it son. Just be sure to come back safely, you are our only son after all."
"Don't worry father, I will return. Even if I do get hurt, I cannot let that beat me down." said Nick as he sipped his hot chocolate, then looked towards Ayami with a friendly smile. It seemed to him that this was not going to be a normal boring day like all the others that have happened after saving his parents.
"That's my son." said Derrick as he gave his son a friendly pat on the back with a warm smile.
"Want anymore hot chocolate my son?" asked Daria.
"No thank you mother, I'll be good." Nick said to his mother as he finished up his hot chocolate. | |

"Damn."The mechanic clicked her tongue in disappointment. It wasn't really that surprising that Derrick hadn't seen the man in the image - So far no one had, and she didn't really expect for that to change. But it was always worth trying. After all, no one ever accomplished anything by sitting around hoping for change. She gave him a nod when he wished her luck, and with that she finished the drink, carefully sliding it aside so as not to shatter the cup."He's not gonna get hurt, I know my way around a fight, trust me! The heartless aren't anything like the fiends back home."She gave them all a reassuring grin. To some it might have seemed like over-confidence, a bold stupidity. But once you've learned to line up your shots to hit a fiend's weak points, you can almost take on anything. She wasn't so much cocky as she was sure in her marksmanship. Besides, she wasn't about to let someone get hurt when they're actively volunteering to assist her."Besides, I'm guessing your boy here knows his way around the town. A guide's going to help my odds one billion percent!"Seeing as Nick was all done here, she stood up, gave the postman a nod, and turned to Nick's mother."Thanks for the drink! But uh, word of warning. Might wanna reinforce your mailbox! There's no telling the next time someone will come barreling right into it!"The Spiran laughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of her head. She then looked over at Nick and cleared her throat."Ready to set out on an adventure? We've got a mystery to solve!"--- Nick Laruzo

"That is very reassuring, thank you." said Daria as she started washing some dishes in the kitchen. Nick would dust off his jeans again before getting up from the table, then would dust off his shirt.
"I would definitely say I am ready for an adventure." said Nick as he got his shoes on. After what seemed to be many boring days of not doing much, another adventure was about to take hold. What would happen on this particular day, when he thought of it as another normal day?
"Take care of yourself, son." said Derrick. "And have fun on your adventure."
"Thanks father, I sure will. It's better than doing nothing." said Nick as he would open the door, letting Ayami go through first.

"Let's plot a course!"Ayami threw the front door open and stepped up with a renewed sense of hope now that she had a local guide on her side in this situation! While it didn't necessarily make finding her father any easier, knowing where she was going, as well as any points of interest or landmarks made checking all the most important places much easier than it had been before. But speaking of..."Any important places? Uh, y'know like...Places that seem to just draw people naturally. Even if they're not from here."The mechanic tapped her chin in deep thought for a moment. It was the least awkward way she could think to phrase a question like that. She reached into a bag of hers and began digging through it, searching fruitlessly for a moment as she shuffled things around inside of it before soon enough pulling a strange scanner from it."Last I saw them, they were surrounded by darkness. This thing will pick up unnatural light level fluctuations! It's honestly brilliant if I do say so myself."The Spiran girl grinned as she beamed with pride, taking a measure of joy out of her own creations. She flipped a switch on the device and it emitted slow constant beeping noises. The overall calmness of these beeping noises indicating to others that it was currently reading normal light level changes."Oh, just a quick word of warning; Might wanna keep your gauntlet thingy on the side until you need to use it. It might skew the readings on my device here. Scientific pursuit is nothing if not fickle...That aside, lead the way! I'll follow you!"It seems this particular mechanic had come prepared for every eventuality. Even one she didn't exactly want to consider...--- Nick Laruzo

Nick would be last to exit the house, closing it on the way out. When he heard Ayami ask about any important places that would draw people naturally, he would reply with "I think I've seen most people hanging out in the Second District of Traverse Town. We can try searching their first. I also believe there's a shop there as well.
He would look at the streets for a moment as he heard Ayami saying that whomever she was looking for, they were last seen surrounded by darkness. This intrigued him a bit. He thought about this for a moment while Ayami talked about how her device could detect unnatural light fluctuation. Surrounded... could this mean that they were surrounded by Heartless, or actual darkness?
As he thought about this, he would then hear about Ayami talking about how he should keep his Dark Guantlet on the side, in order to not mess up her machine, and only use it when needed, and that he should also lead the way. He would say in reply "No worries, I've only seen my Dark Gauntlet activate during a battle. So, I am pretty sure it won't screw up anything. Let's head off to the Second District and see what we can find there."
Nick Laruzo would lead Ayami to the Second District in Traverse Town, through the pathway that leads there. Upon entering the Second District, there was some people walking around, mostly likely going on a walk. Some were even making their way to the Gizmo Shop.
"Well, here we are, the Second District." said Nick as he looked around a bit. | |
