[b]The plaza was packed. People were standing, talking at eating together. It seems that some unnamed event was occurring. People were socialising and generally having a good time, whilst the several cafe's littered around the plaza were making a good deal of money.[/b] [b]A woman with black hair was standing around, talking to a thin, light haired man and his companion whom wielded a short cane with a dragon head. The man looked of Asian origin, similar to the golden dragon that mounted the green cane.[/b] [b]Then, suddenly, within the crowds a small gas bomb went off. The gas was black, with a hint of purple here and there. It quickly covered the entire plaza with the thick black smoke. People rushed into shops, covering their mouths and trying not to inhale the unknown substance that now plagued the air. The two men turned around to attempt to inspect the source of the gas, covering their mouthes with their sleeves. They couldn't see anything through the smoke, though.

The figure was nothing but a blur, although it was clear to see which direction it went in.[/b] [spoiler]Open. Vel's intro [/spoiler]
