"Well this seems to be very lively" said a man named Vince standing on top of a building being constructive looking down below. Down below him were numerous men all helping with the construction of Radiant Gardens with Vince watching them above. The construction workers seem to not notice him and Vince was oddly enjoying not being noticed.
"Well this seems to be fun, being alone up here and watching them work" Vince said out loud to himself with a little yawn right after.

Jade cautiously approached the construction site, hoping not to draw too much attention to herself as she did. The note slipped under her door said that should would find further information and instructions hidden near by. The note had been unhelpful, since there were so many construction sites near where she had taken lodgings. This was the last of the nearby locations where she could hope to find what had been promised.
She was curious, though. She had never seen so much construction in one place before during her journey. It made her wonder what this place had been like before, what had befallen it to require so much repair.

Vince on top of the building noticed a women coming into the construction site. It was very odd or at least to Vince to see someone that wasn't a construction worker come into this site and what was stranger for him was that even if the women was coming to inspect the construction site, people would usually wear some sort of protection in case of anything. Vince thought about it for a couple of minutes and then shrugged if off thinking nothing would happen.
Vince turned his head toward another building being constructed and noticed something off with it: one of the bars on the building was shaking like if it was going to come down.
Vince was shaking his head and then to himself said " Why must i sometimes be the psychic of misfortune" he signed to himself and then started to wave his arms and yell trying to get some attention.

Jade paused as the shouting started, and watched as workmen rushed towards the compromised site. This made her job easier, and she quickly made her way across the site. There was a culvert at the other end waiting to be buried and it was here Jade began her search. In its shadow, leaning against a neatly stacked pile of lumber, was an envelope with carefully crafted calligraphy figures. Jade looked nervously over her shoulder and picked up the envelope.

While the workmen rushed toward there mistake, Vince watched as the women moved to the culvert and found this odder then the shaking bars. This caused Vince to sigh again as he got the urge to go investigate wondering why the women didn't run away from the place.
Vince looked down below and a grin appeared on his face. Using his ice powers, he created a slide made of ice starting from the top of the building Vince was all the way below to the ground. Vince then sat down on the slide and started to slide down.

Jade slipped the envelope into her robe, deciding it would be a better idea to open it to read its contents once she was back behind closed doors. Besides, she wasn't sure how much longer the workmen would be away. She began to look around for a nearby exit; it wouldn't do to go back the way she came; she could at least pretend she had come through here for a short cut. As she looked, she noticed movement out of the corner of her eye, and turned to see the ice slide.

As Vince gained speed sliding down the ice slide he made a question popped up to his head, "How I'm i going to stop safely?" Vince looked down from the side of the slide and watched how much time he had to come up with an idea to land with the least amount of pain and nothing occurred to him except one thing.
Vince some how managed to stand up and jump off the slide. He landed on the ground miraculously crouched down on his feet. As he was getting up he felt pain on his leg but ignored it and walked toward the direction he last saw the women go.

Jade hadn't yet left the site, but as she became aware of the young man's attentions she turned away and attempted to act nonchalant. She was able to pick her path casually along a beaten track to the far end of the construction site and entered into an alley beyond. She didn't hurry. After all, she had done nothing wrong in being on the site in the first place and the envelope was carefully tucked away and safe.

"Maybe I'm just paranoid, Not every person you see walk away from an accident is a diabolical leader trying to take over the world." Vince said out loud to himself as he followed the path of the women.
Vince quickened his pace as he followed her to the beaten track and then noticed as she went into the alley. Vince smiled as an idea came into his head. He used his ice powers once more to freeze the ground around him and started to ice skate toward the women without any ice skates.

Jade frowned as she hears the quickening footfalls, and then the stranger noises begin. She didn't like the idea of being followed, and this was quite obviously becoming a pursuit. She didn't know why; she hadn't done anything wrong. Nor did she like the fact that she hadn't been spoken to, which denoted a more sinister intention. Well, she though. She wasn't about to be taken like a frightened rabbit in a place like this. If her pursuers had sought easy prey, they were going to find themselves sorely mistaken.
After a few more steps, she whirled around on the ball of her right foot and her hair fanned out behind her for a moment. Her left foot hit the ground and stirred up the dust and placed within a few simple adjustments of a fighting stance should she need it. Her eyes were hard as she watched Vince approach, and did not allow the strangeness of his movements to register.
"Can I help you?" she asked cooly.

Vince immediately stopped in front of the women he followed and watched her for any unexpected or strange movements. He noticed something odd about the way she stood but was not exactly doing anything about it or so it seemed. He was not worried about what was she going to do to him but what he was going to say to her. He kept following her just to see where she was going and never really thought about having any conversation with her but he was stuck with it now and didn't know what to say. Vince looked at her with a confuse look on his face and just decided to say anything.
" Well... I was just wondering....why you left the construction site! Yeah thats it!"
After saying those words Vince just sighed knowing he said something not exactly...brilliant. He really didn't know what to say and just decided to go along with anything and see what would happen. He was curious to know why the women was at the construction site and what she was doing but he didn't really want to converse about it.

Jade relaxed visibly. He was clearly not a threat, just a curious youth with some strange powers. She smiled, and waved her hand as if to ward off the silliness of her own actions.
"Oh! I was just passing through. A friend of mine sets up scavenger hunts for me every now and again and I was checking to see if they had left anything there for me was all."

"OH so that was it! Sorry for following you! I was just think that umm... you were the one who caused the accident of the constitution site and i just wanted to make sure..."
Vince felt mixed feelings of embarrassment and shame for what he did and this clearly showed on his face. He just stalked a girl he didn't know and just found out she did nothing wrong. He would of expected the women to think he was a creep and try to do something about him following her.

"Oh no! No, I would never do anything like that. But what accident? The one that just happened, or was there another?"
Jade cocked her head to one side, confused about the young man's discomfort. She wasn't sure why he seemed so embarrassed, but she wasn't all that sure why he followed her, either. Maybe he had worked for the construction site, but then why would he think she had anything to do with the accident? Accidents were just accidents, weren't they?

"Well there is more besides the one you probably witnessed today."
Vince said starting to remember the accidents that has happened lately. He had been staying at Radiant Gardens for some time now and each time he would pass a construction site, something wrong would happen. The worst accidents would happened to the construction site they both just came from. He wondered what was causing these accidents and liked to look around for anything strange.
"I'm just trying to figure out what is causing the accidents Miss."
