Vers grabbed his firearm, which was, rather conveniently, attached to the side of the motorbike. Lifting it up, he carefully examined his weapon before slinging it over his shoulder.
"Well, if there's something strange here, then we'll be investigating it. That's kinda sorta cooler than an actual ride, you know? It's like a mystery. Hopefully not a murder mystery, since that's not too fun. Anyways, lead on, Cel. Unless, you know, you don't want to find out what this mystery is."

And so, Muri defeating the Mighty Horde of the Rocket-Sheep, managed to overcome the first of many threats laid forth by Koren the Mentally Unstable.
"WAVE TWO, GO!"
And then Muri would probably be kinda disappointed to find herself barraged by more rocket-sheep, which were traveling at considerably faster speeds.

Durnam looked up at the sky, and smiled. Now that it was dark, he (as a Club-class Tear sub-class Marionettiste) had a very, very distinct advantage over Preston and Yorito. The obligatory street lamp - after all, it's not a park at night without one, am I right? - beside the bench, however, lit up the nearby area, which definitely didn't coincide with Durnam's best interests.
Suddenly, the lamp turned dark, and Durnam disappeared from sight (Preston really wouldn't be able to feel Durnam any longer, although he'd get these strange vibes from all around him. After some time, the lamp came back on, and flickered ever so slightly.
Well, truth be told, the light wasn't damaged. In reality, all Durnam did was restrict the flow of light from the lamp, preventing it from traveling outside the glass. Unfortunately for Preston and Yorito, however, Durnam didn't disappear. In fact, during the brief period of darkness caused by the lamp's little fiasco, Durnam sank into the darkness, and swept around, eventually finding Preston. Given how audible his footsteps were - in comparison to guerillas hiding in a valley - it wasn't too difficult for Durnam to locate Preston. Well, Durnam wasn't going to directly attack Preston, although that would be a valid assumption. Unfortunately, he had a larger target: Preston's shadow. When the light returned, Durnam shifted positions from the darkness under Preston's feet to his actual shadow, and began biding his time.
Gee, now would be a really good time to have Spark out, wouldn't it?
