The European Tour

"Edge. You're a dumbfuck so you should shut up and let the smart people talk" Alto says causticly.

---

"There's our lead~"

*Kelphy widens her eyes when Alto lashes out at Edge.*

Kelphy: <P-Please don't say that.>

*Alto's PET beeps. It's an anonymous messagethat reads "You are Harmonia, right?" After that is an address in Spanish.*

=====

*Razz rubs the knuckle he smacked Jack with.*

Razz: <...Okay.>

*He then turns to Zeno.*

Razz: <I assume he did it back at the hotel. Paris-Lisbon only takes like 3 hours... We should find this Tower of Bel-something soon.>

Alto replies with a 'who is this?'

"Why not. Its true. Half of this is his fault for barging in guns blazing. He neds to stop and think about what the hell he's doing."

---

"Yes, lets"

Edge: <Eh, say what you will. I've never been one to think a lot.>

Spider: <(Heh, that's an understatement.)>

Edge: <Where did you come from all of a sudden?!>

Spider: <Been here the whole time. I tried to wake you up around the time you were getting buried in junk food, but you're impossible to wake up.>

Jack: <Crash, can you pull up a map for us, please?>

CrashMan: <Way freakin' ahead of you.>

*A map of Lisbon pops up on Jack's PET showing the group's current location and the location of the Tower of Belém*

*He gets no reply. Kelphy sits down on the edge of a large stone vase nearby and takes out her laptop, opening it on her lap.*

Kelphy: <Please don't fight. Alto, d-do you think you can you track Iceman?>

=====

Razz: <Fancy. How come you never help?>

*He looks at ShaowMan on his PET, who gives him the finger. Razz smirks and keeps the PET.*

Razz: <Someone has to pay for the cab. And someone has to get us a cab first.>

*He looks around and points down the street, where several cabs are parked waiting for tourists that exit the airport and what not.*

"I can try. Also take a look at this" he shows Kelphy the e-mail.

---

"Not it"

*Edge sits down on a nearby bench.*

Edge: <Hey, Spider, what do you think of this situation?>

Spider: <Well, I'm willing to admit I let my feelings overtake me back there at the hotel, and that I won't let it happen again. You, on the other hand... I don't see any such thing happening with you any time soon.>

Edge: <Ah, shut up. You're never on my side.>

Jack: <I'll go call a cab.>
*Jack goes to call a cab*

Kelphy: <An address...? And it's in Madrid. Y-You couldn't find out who it is?>

=====

Razz: <Seriously? There's a bunch of perfectly good cabs we can steal right over there.>

*The nearest cab's driver smiles to him as he approaches.*

Taxi Dude: <Olá boa tarde, faça favor de entrar.>

Razz: <Oh, I thought he meant...>

"I tried, no luck."

---

"Stealing is bad" Minato says obviously.

*While Edge is chilling on the bench, a dog walks by and pisses on his shoe.*

Spider: <Heh. Sucker.>

Edge: <Dammit!!!>

Jack: <Yep, I called it. So who's paying?>

Kelphy: <What do you guys think we should do about it?>

*She looks from Alto to Edge, and then the awesome dog.*

=====

Razz: <Minato and Zeno.>

*He gets in the passenger seat and leans out the window.*

Razz: <Jack, get in here and talk to the guy.>

*The driver glares at them.*

"We should check it out."

---

"Fine I'll pay" Minato sighs as he gets in.

Edge: <I don't really care, let's just do SOMETHING already!>

*Jack gets in*

Jack: <Belém Tower, por favor.>

*Kelphy points at one of the several cabs parked nearby, and heads to one.*

Driver: <Buenos días.>

Kelphy: <B-Buenos días. Nosotros tenemos una dirección de Madrid, puede encontrar el lugar?>

Driver: <Pues claro, vengan.>

Kelphy: <G-Gracías.>

*She turns to Alto and Edge, and nods, smiling.*

=====

Driver: <É para já.>

*Soon the guy parks near this tower, turns to Minato, and holds out an opened hand.*

Driver: <São 10 euros, tank you berry mush.>

Alto smiles back and walks over.

---

Minato pulls out a huge wallet and riffles through it pulling out 12 euros. 10 for the drive and a 2 euro tip and hands it to the driver.

*Edge just shrugs and walks over, mumbling to himself about random stuff.*

*Jack exits the cab*

Jack: <Muchas gracias.>

OOC: It's been 9 days. I'm sick of this shit. I'm moving on.

*He drives them to a large abandoned warehouse in the middle of a whole street of large abandoned warehouses downtown.*

Driver: <Estás segura que es aqui? Nadie vive en esta calle.>

Kelphy: <S-Sí, gracías.>

Driver: <Son 14 euros.>

*Kelphy gives him the money and a tip and, once they all get out, he drives off. She pulls on her braid a little, staring at the warehouse. It's a big concrete building with a large fish sign falling apart above the rusty metal doors. The roof seems to have caved in into the second floor, and most windows are broken or sealed with bricks.*

[Is this a prank?]

=====

*Razz looks at the monument and then around at the many gardens and the sea. Beyond the gardens are a few residential streets and further beyond is the city center.*

Razz: <How do we find her? I don't feel like approaching foreign strangers again.>

"This... is the place?" Alto scratches his head.

---

"Dunno"

Jack: <They might be somewhere inside, like in some sort of secret entrance or something.>

Edge: <Man... this place is FUCKED UP!>
