Grim and Akiko walked away from the pelican, and approached the strut bridging the chatterBay shipping building, to another skyscraper. Akiko couldn't turn away from the rubble of the Avery Building.
Akiko: What kind of person would do this?
Grim: A really shitty one...
Akiko: I mean...I know there are some made people out there, but I'd like to think that there are enough hobbies out there for them to funnel their anger...
Grim: Perhaps.
I know I've thought about causing bedlam once in a while.
Akiko: What do you mean?
Grim: You know...walking in the bicycle lane, spitting gum on the sidewalk, jaywalking...
You know...bedlam.
Akiko scoffed, and stared straight forward.
Akiko: We're getting close to the building...
Grim: Holy shit...
Akiko: What is it?
Grim looked straight ahead, and saw a large, hulking figure wearing a black fabric poncho, walking towards them.
Grim: I never knew New Ullapool was a brute stop...
The brooding poncho wearing figure neared them. Soon enough, it became apparent that the figure was wearing boots.
Akiko: I don't think that's a brute...
Grim: Holy crap...you're right...
Grim paused
Grim: I've seen photos of really tall people...but they usually have canes...and some fucked up condition...
I don't know what this guy's deal is...But I can only begin to imagine...how many protein shakes this guy has ingested...
The strut began to vibrate under Grim and Akiko's feet, as the large poncho wearing man approached them.
He stopped, and held out on hand to stop Grim. The Man only bent his elbow 90 degrees...and his hand was able to meet Grim's visor. Not only that...but his hand was able to cover most of Grim's visor.
Man: Are you ONI...
Grim was silent. Somehow...in the back of his mind, he knew this was going to happen.
Grim: Could you uh....take your hand off my face?
The large man obliged, and looked down on Grim and Akiko
Grim: Thanks...Gort.
Man: Answer the question...Leprochaun.
Grim: Alright...on the risk of being sat on, yes. I am with ONI.
Man: Are you here investigating the Blue Bomber...
Akiko: Yes. Do you know anything about him?
The man grinned.
Man: Mostly stories. But down there...They're usually true.
Grim: Down there...as in...
Grim looked over the railing of the strut, and looked down at the dust covered ground.
Grim: People actually live there?!
Man: Yep...
Everyone calls it the Depths...
