There were seven others around nearby (he could still see some of them getting their bearings), and they'd probably be trying to kill one another soon. That was the deal, right? It was just another mission, after all... only he wouldn't be getting paid this time. <Combat for entertainment, huh? Nothing new, but still! Those bast- No, no, they said they were working for someone else. Who would-> It was around this point Jacob realized standing around and thinking wasn't going to do him any good.
He looked 'up' at his goal. If he could off all the other combatants at once, as he most likely could from the 'Sun', then this 'Majestic Battle' or whatever the hell wouldn't need to drag on for howevermany more rounds. But since he was in (or at least near) a town anyway, there was an important stop he had to make first. There'd probably be one near the center of the town. It was a human colony, after all.
Scanning the rooftops, he spotted a smaller park about halfway to the Sun Tower, sporting a large fountain and adjacent to a wide, domed building. <City hall. Bingo.> He trudged off across the park with an air of importance, sword stabbing intermittently into the soil.
Jacob muttered his hopes under his breath: "There better be a goddamn Starbucks..."
