Having composed himself, John decided it was time to go home. With a murder like this, all his plans for the day were scrapped (and he was having more trouble then he should have remembering them anyway). Getting out of he seat, he grabbed his bag and went out the door. When he got out, he opened up his bag to find his phone. As he rummaged around inside of it, he felt something soft and furry "[color=0072bc]Oh no...not now[/color]" with a sigh, John pulled out the offending object to find it was his pet Danny "[color=0072bc]Danny...how many times have I told you not to do this? I'm still not even sure why you keep on hiding in my bag.[/color]" Danny (who was used to being handled my humans like this, and thus totally fine with John holding him like this) simply stared at John, as he was unable to reply. However, his attention was quickly grabbed by something behind John. Noticing this, John turned around to find...

...a Meep? "[color=0072bc]Is...that what I think it is?[/color]" John asked himself, clearly not believing what he was seeing. Taking note of them, the Meep flew over to John and Danny, stopping right in front of the ferret. The two then proceeded to stare at each other "[color=0072bc]well if I am crazy, the poor Danny here clearly is too. Don't worry little buddy, it's just a Meep, he won't hurt you.[/color]" 'unless Bard throws him at you' went unsaid "[color=0072bc]but if there's a Meep here, then that must mean...[/color]" he quickly thought back to the shield "[color=0072bc]...someone like me must be too. I'm not the only one with the powers of a character from a video game[/color]" Then John looked at the card "[color=0072bc]could this be why I was given this; because someone could tell what I was? So does that mean that people did see the shield?[/color]" John thought about this sudden revelation for a little bit "[color=0072bc]Clearly, there must be more people like me. The question is; do I want to find them? Oh who am I kidding, there's no way I'll be able to avoid this forever. I might as well jump into whatever this is that I've found myself in. But how would I find others like me, without drawing the attention of the un-involved?[/color]" The first answer that came to mind was the card, however something else also popped into his head "[color=0072bc]...The shield. Braum's shield should serve as a beacon to others like me, while others would simply write me off as a cosplayer.[/color]" he had seen enough people walking the streets in bizarre outfits for that to make sense. Having made his decision, he quickly checked for anyone nearby. When he was sure that he was clear, he summoned the shield to his side. trying to lift it up, he found it heavy, but not too heavy to lift "[color=0072bc]well at least I should be able to lug this around without much trouble. I just have to hope that I don't get into a fight[/color]"
