Long Bay, Auckland
It is still very early in the morning, yet the temperatures are already boiling hot. Another beautiful summer morning. However, today is not an ordinary day. President Bill English is scheduled to open the beach to the general public after a-decade long clean-up programme which restored the beach to health.
"It is my honor and my pleasure to bring you the first of Ell's restored beachs, Long Bay. I hereby announce the opening of Long Bay beach to the public!"
An eruption of applause fills the air as the ribbon is cut.
"I am also announcing the opening of the Long Bay Surf Rescue Club, who will be patrolling the oceans for anyone in distress."

Angela looked at the building that was the supposed 'state-of-the-art' surf-rescue facility. This was it? she thought. Where she had come from, this would be considered shelter for the homeless. However, the climate in Ell was more pleasant than her hometown.
Strolling slowly towards the door, she began to feel a sense of excitement not felt since the day she had recieved the phone-call saying her application to work in Ell was accepted. Time to meet her new colleagues.

"So, where're you from?"

"I'm from Cyberutopia. I'm here in Ell in a 'independent life' program. It's prety cool here, nice country." She explains to Angela. "Are you from around here?"
A Langhan man named Johnny arrives at the beach.
"HOWDY EVERYBODY!!!" exclaims Johnny.
This is Honjak.
Once again, unfamiliar with the setting, this time: Ell, after his confused trip over at EOTED.
So... This is what Ell is like..., he thought as he walked over at the beach. Very beautiful place, this so-called Friend of Omzian Motherland, as the State television says....
He walked, looking very confused.
"Wonder where I should saty for the night", he muttered to himself.

"Hi Johny. Are you here as a lifeguard as well?"
"What the hell is that!?", Honjak muttered to himself, again. Psychos in Ell?, he thought, and wondered, again and again.
He walked to a shaven man, looks like 30 or 31 years old. Then, he asked, in perfect English with a slight Omzian accent:
"Excuse me, can you tell me where are the hotels here, near this Long Bay?"

"Howdy. You have to excuse me, we talk like this in Langham."

The old man swimming in the water with his son suddenly clutches his chest in pain.
"Aahh! Boy, get me some help! Argh! My heart!"
As he asked, he saw this.
"Uhh... ECUSE ME FOR A MOMENT! Gotta rescuee thiss.... OLD MAN!", Honjak yelled with broken words, and ran off.
"Old man, sir, I'll geet you too the... hospital!", he yelled. Then, he yelled again:
"Annyy... ANY HOSPITALS! HELP! Old man... HEART ATTACK!", he yelled again, in broken words.
"I have a hummer you can use to transport this guy." Johnny points to his hummer.

"Huh, ya'll look like ya'll could use an extra hand. I can help."
"Yeah... Hospitals! We need them! Help, this old man is dying!", Honjak, carrying the old man, prepares to ran off to a hospital.

"You could stay at my place tonight, I have a spare room availible that I usually rent out after my brother was drafted. I suppose you'll be staying in Long Bay for a week at least right?"
"Um.. Yeah, but I've been to a $450 dollar one in another town, no nice service, I would say."
Then, he thought again,
"Hmm, thanks for the offer. I suppose so. of course, how much pay do you like?", he said, in amazingment.

By now the four young men on the beach had finished drinking and were setting up a volleyball net, trying to stay (not very successfully) upright while singing raucus drinking songs...

Caroline sits down and looks at the menu. Then she stiffens up and covers her face. Two Inquisitors had just walked into the building.
"When we find that coward, what were our orders?" One of them asked the other.
"We were given specific orders to kill her. Her actions bought dishonor upon the Roanian Legion. We must make an example."

"and what's up with the saltwater and your skin? Does that happen to all Roanians?"
"No, it's just that... actually, I don't know. Until I left home, I never saw anyone enter the water except fully armored inquisitors. I think it's only salt water."

Honjak, is often the slow type. He is named "The Bulk" in the High School Football (Soccer for Americans/Canadians) team --- he was the slowest.

Angela does the introducing hand gestures.
"Caroline, Honjak....Honjak, Caroline. Now Caroline is from Roania."

"hmm, but what about her family?"
There is a disturbance at the door. Two rather bulky men are backing up against the wall. "We're sorry, really! Please don't hurt us."
Following them in, capes flying behind them like batwings, are the inquisitors. "Tell us where you saw the girl." One says, pulling out a RA-57.
"Or else, we will have to cleanse your soul."
"Hey dudes, Cool gun. Where can I get one of those sum-bitching pieces Man?"
the stoned surfer dude spluttered, having come to the shop for takeaways for munchies for the group, still hazed with the effects of some real wicked greenery. He wasn't much put out by having been knocked off his feet by the two bulky men as they backed up.
OOC: feel free to shoot him as a moral lesson and to encourage speech in the two bulkies...
"Grr. Pathetic oaf." One of the Inquisitors lifted the druggie off his feet. By his neck. "You. Have you seen the girl we're looking for?"

"Put your weapons on the ground!" they yell. "Slowly!"
"Why, certainly, officer-After you." They grab a flash grenade and toss it to the ground.
((Don't ask why I'm here. Just don't.))
Honjak sees the gun, and remembered.
Look through the hands, you should get the gun, Honjak. Aim like what you did in compulsary military training. Massadh Military Camp, 1993, the memory.
Suddenly, Honjak pretends to back away. But he awaits as the gang readies to aim his gun.
Kill or get killed.
"Don't waste your ammo, brother." The first inquisitor strikes a fighting pose. He attempts a roundhouse kick, using his cape as a shield.

Ready... Rush.
Suddenly, Honjak leaped --- even before the 2 men noticed it, perhaps. Suddenly, he hit the second men's head's back, and smashes at his hands, holding the gun.
Almost free...
Then, he grabbed his handy Swiss knife --- and the pepper spray, and immediately, sprayed at the eyes of the first men and the second men.
Luckily, he has a pair of glasses on.

((Pity about the helmet, no?))
The Inquisitors snarled beneath their helmets. The two delivered slamming backhands.
Tough combatants... he said.
grabbing his new gun, the first act: push in the edge of the magazine, to make it unfittable for the rifles.
He swang the rifle like a bat - grabbing it by the end of the barrel.
Just how to get over the helmet..., he thought.
"Stop this foolishness, civilian." The two Inquisitors stopped, hands on their swords. "Why do you protect this traitor?"
Honjak said defiantly,
"She is the innicent. We all ask you to back off."
"She retreated in the face of the enemy. A crime in Roania." The Inquisitors said, amused. They slowly began to inch their swords from their sheathes.
"No matter what, we know she is innicent. We will protect her.", Honjak said defiantly, without even an idea to give up.
"Then, en guarde, fool!" The two inquisitors grabbed their swords and swung them at him.
Swords and sticks, unlike bullets and shells --- are able to be avoided --- but not without some form of other sword and sticks.
Honjak stepped back, swung his rifle and --- temporatorily, that is --- blocked a sword.
But the other sword, was quickly followed by another "temporatory blocking".
Honjak is trapped --- finally.
"Where is she? Tell us, and we'll allow you to live." One of them said, sounding like a modern Frollo [From Hunchback of Notre Dame].
"Frankly, I don't know," Honjak said, loosely.

A bullet hit one of the Roanian swords. It was the Dectective, who has some experience and had stayed in the car beforehand, avoiding the flashbanger.
"Drop the weapons before I shoot again!"
The other Roanian pulled out his RA-87 and fired it in that general direction. "Why are you people standing in the way of our mission?"
Caroline looked back. She skidded to a halt.

"It's over."

Angela began running after her. Suddenly she had an idea. She went back into the surf building, grabbing a bucket and heading towards the sea.
"My god..!!", Honjak murmured, trying to sustain the pain.
Oops..., Honjak thought, with extreme pain. Then, he quickly backed off, trying to avoid the rifle from targeting him.
"Someone, I need help here...", he whispered.
Caroline threw herself in front of him. "Take 5, Honjak."
"Target has been sighted." The two Inquisitors, one of them with a nasty dent in his armor, straightened up. "In the name of the Principality, you will come with us."
