[In a moderately busy area of town, there's a bit of an altercation going on - some local tough guy is roughing up a priestly-looking fellow. He looks a bit worse for the wear, and could probably use a little help with the way the guy's laying into him.]

[While out and about, you spot a young man who is peering curiously around the area as he walks - and once he sees that you've noticed him, he approaches you!]

Pardon me - I could use a little help. I'm rather lost, and I'm trying to find the capital building. This city is just a bit tricky to navigate! [He chuckles a bit awkwardly, rubbing the back of his head.]

[For whatever reason, you suspect that Xellos here is a suspicious fellow - perhaps even a spy for an enemy country! However, he seems quite calm about this accusation, and shrugs while smiling politely - even if you've got a weapon drawn on him.]

I haven't the faintest clue what you're talking about - I'm just a wandering priest, so I'm afraid you're quite mistaken.

Yeah that's what I thought you'd say. Obviously a suspicious person isn't going to just go out and admit that they're suspicious.

[She starts rolling up her sleeves.]

You've gotta rough 'em up a bit first.

[trollsdragons]

Now now, there's no need for violence, Miss - it's certainly no way to get your point across, that's for certain...

[He's backing up a bit now. After all, a totally innocent man of the cloth would not resist something like this, right?]

[not_good_not_wicked]

Then I'll make it fast and we can get on with things.

[She's gonna feel pretty silly if she's wrong here, but eh, the mini-hakkero PROBABLY won't kill him. Chargin' mah lazer!]

[trollsdragons]

[Hoo boy, she's actually going through with this...]

This is not the proper way of doing things in any place I've visited... Are you certain you want to be saddled with the charge of assaulting someone?

[not_good_not_wicked]

MASTER SPAAAARK!

[Think fast, Xellos.]

[trollsdragons]

Miss, please...!

[And he will, though he'll look quite panicked by the outlash. His arms cross in front of him defensively, and the strike appears to hit with a flash of light. Xellos tumbles backward from the impact, appearing to be singed all over.]

[not_good_not_wicked]

Ready to confess your evil deeds yet?

[trollsdragons]

[Mentally, he was smirking - better people than this girl have tried to get him to fess up to things, and not even the Demon Dragon King Gaav could get information out of Xellos.

Externally, however, he coughed, waving off dust and smoke, and generally looked rather frazzled.]

Miss, there's really nothing to confess to! I'm a simple priest - people confess to me!

[not_good_not_wicked]

Don't try and trick me. That short girl who talked about justice all the time said you were totally up to no good!

[trollsdragons]

[...Amelia. That girl could be a right thorn in his side sometimes. Someone really needed to teach her subtlety sometime. He sighs, then shakes his head.]

Now now, it's not good just go and believe everything you hear. After all, not everyone who claims to follow the ways of justice are good people!
