Stand with Pride[Saturn/Open]

Saturn had arrived on this island, though on that black behemoth they kindly called a boat, he had understood that allies were what made you here in Area D. It seemed rather obvious he needed to partner with the stronger individuals, even if none of them were partiuclarly amazing he wasn't much of a fighter. How was someone who never really fought a day in his life really supposed to do anything, not to mention everyone else on this island displaying abilities of pretty much equal calibur, if not stronger due to more control. He only recieved such a power a short time ago, so to expect that Saturn would have able to control it is almost laughable. He looked over to his "partner" of sorts, Phoenix. The man was imposing in a sense but the two of them got along well enough, at least he was able to fight Saturn's battles. Their real names were never disclosed to one another though, odd, but necessary to some degree.

Soon enough though, Phoenix started asking about the cure. The Cure. As though such a thing would ever come to exist. He was sure that if there ever was a cure, it would come from someone in the world who could get rid of the powers of others. It was not such a stress that a power deleter is out there somewhere or will come into existence in the future. If this person exists, someone might find out, and try to use his abilities to purge the world of powers all together. In theory, powers could make the world a great place, some might argue Area D would be able to become a captial for progress. If people could learn the ideas of harmony and such. Unfortunately none such people exist in this power hungry rage of survival. The three major factions do as they please, but none of them really want to build this society, at least not in the eyes of this dog.

On the prospect of actually leaving Area D, there was a small chuckle to be heard from Saturn. He knew the guy liked to daydream, or act like he did, but that was borderline moronic. This place was more or less the Alcatraz of the new age. People were going to be stuck here, and if they did get off the island, where were they going to go? Oh, that's right, to the bottom of the ocean. Nobody will ever leave this place, though some might argue that a combonation of the right people with the right powers would be able to escape. He decided to let the idea float away, thinking about escape was something Saturn saturn didn't care for. He knew it was a pointless ideal, so he let it go, in place of new thoughts that might be more relevant to his wellbeing. Upon the request to get some food though, he smiled.

"Oh? Sure. My sweet tooth weakens me here". He knew he didn't have much money, but the idea of turning down some candy didn't sound all that much fun to him either. He knew he was going to get it, though there was also notice to how the women passed by. While Phoenix would probably never trust women, Saturn didn't give a shit. The action of actually going ahead and giving a fuck about what these women would do was just too much to ask. He wasn't going to bother himself with these women unless they bothered him. Saturn noticed the little foreign comment his partner made, while he didn't acknowledge it he certainly noticed what happened with the exchange. Saturn began to walk in slow steps towards the store he believed was the closest. Looking back at Phoenix though, he wondered if that guy was done with the women, though he figured he might as well make a joke. "A heterosexual woman hater, how ironic".

Saturn looked over at the man, in his single best efforts to explain himself. It didn't matter to Saturn what the dude was talking about, honestly he didn't care one way or the other how the guy felt about women. Unless it affected the two of them during a battle, he didn't really actually care to know what Phoenix's thoughts on things such as women were, it seemed completely irrelevant to his survival. Not that Saturn didn't mind being told things about the man, he should learn about his partner sure, it was just one of those things Saturn would never take to heart or really take the time out of his precious day to listen to. Saturn often wondered why in the world he was being given a task such as surviving in this city. Thanks to his power over magnetic fields, he is able to actually do a lot in the world of the East. Assembly of products as well a other small tasks where his powers come of use tend to make him someone they like to keep around.

Survival wasn't necessarily the question, nor did he think much of it. He knew he would survive so long as he kept his head down and while many believe that his powers if well developed would be incredibly strong. He was feeling weak though, he didn't have much he was going to be able to do today since he was feeling a bit lazy, life in Area D wasn't completely awful. Saturn kept telling himself that in the hopes that he would some day believe it. He understood he was never going back to his old life, to some degree he imagined he might be able to accept that one day, but as far as the rest of the world was concerned, Gregory Craig more or less disappeared. He was sure that they heard about that day at the bank. Saturn had literally levitated several coins and flung they at the man, not that they were all that lethal.

He could see the man was getting hungry, though what were they going to find at the store for someone like Phoenix? He imagined the place he should be going is somewhere like a butchery, it made more sense to Saturn in his head, seemed perfectly logical. Saying it out loud however would probably give him a good smack from the lion dude, he decided to keep rather quiet about his opinion. Saturn liked walking through the capital, even though the East district had plenty of metal, it was this place that he could have control over one day. Honestly Saturn could say that he was the kind of person who may one day just own and operate a junkyard, that would be interesting. He didn't really know much else about how to survive here, but he followed Phoenix, seeing a large foods store, and a cheap looking motel across the way. This could be the spot. Saturn pointed towards the store with a smile. "I smell candyyyyy" He said with a large grin, obviously playing up an immature angle to get Phoenix to go in.

Saturn didn't have much in the way of a sharp nose like his counterpart. For the most part, his powers were something that were much more indirect, metal. He didn't have to get partiuclarly close unlike the brawler that would be his partner. He didn't seem to mind much about the fact that he wasn't a brawler, he had only gotten in one fight before becoming an altered, which occured back in the sixth grade when he called some kid a moron. He didn't even win the fight, or maybe he didn, if he did he certainly wasn't winning by a substantial margin. He wasn't about to keep his mind on anything besides what he wanted for candy though. Thinking about the reality of this world was going to drown him into depression. He remembered the candy, it was something that he always looked forward too and his Daru was actually in a small portion of surplus, some spending money.

The idea of getting some candy, really just some simple pieces of chocolate he was feeling intoxicated in the idea that he was going to get to eat some. It had been several weeks and he knew this place had snickers bars. It sounded silly but things like that were actually pretty rare here in Area D. He wasn't going to have a lot of candy over the next short years of his life but he imagined he might as well enjoy what he has while he has it. He understood that there were times when candy wasn't the most necessary thing but as Phoenix inquired about meat flavored candy, a small chuckle left Saturn. He tended to do that, small chuckles in response to weird things people in Area D say. It would have made an amazing video of "Shit People in Area D Say", he imagined it would become a viral video in a matter of hours.

He tried to imagine some meat flavored candy, imagining that it was going to be something to do with Bacon. A BaconPop. That sounded like something that might have existed. This place had a lot more than just candy, maybe the guy would have something for him to use. Saturn had been the first to go since he already knew what he wanted, it seemed pretty basic, he just wanted a candy bar. He handed his ID Card to the man, who swiped it, wondering if Saturn was going to order. "Snickers" He said, it was simple but he figured he didn't need to say much else. The guy gave him a sympathetic smirk, as though pitying the man who just used his money to buy a candy bar. He gave Saturn his candy bar, and looked towards Phoenix. The man held his hand out, waiting for Phoenix to give him the bar. Saturn looked on, taking his first bite of the sweet rich chocolate and peanut bar. Dear God, Love Candy.

Saturn was wondering what Phoenix was thinking about. He wasn't as much a woman hater as he was just someone who wasn't going to make nice with the woman but it wasn't like Saturn cared for the women either. He didn't really think any of these people were really much worth mention. His eyes wandered around the frame of his glasses, sometimes it was hard being blind as fuck when things like glasses seemed so incredibly fragile. Just about anyone in this insane city would be able to destroy his glasses without a second thought, which is incredibly frustrating as one might imagine. He always had to replace his glasses and nobody seemed to take notice to how he always seemed to have his glasses broken. He figured he would try to keep his glasses together today, he didn't really have to Daru to replace them.

The two were simply walking though when that blonde chick from earlier actually managed to come across the duo again. She appeared to bring a "friend" though, it seemed the two of them were getting into an argument over something when CRACK Saturn flinched and put his hands over his face in a protective stance, his wincing was embarassing but he didn't think too many people saw it. As he looked again though it seemed like Phoenix was about to be caught up in this mix. Saturn didn't exactly have anything he imagined he would be able to say, he didn't really think this was his place to interject. Saturn simply looked down at the ground, occasionally peering up to look at Phoenix and the Blonde Girl. He was fiddling with his engagement ring, spinning it on his finger trying to look distracted. He didn't know what would happen, but he wasn't excited to find out.
