House on Fire (part one)

[Whisper: Beta to Chiba] You are one of the Pillars of a new house, right?

[Whisper: Chiba to Beta] What kind of way is that to start a conversation? Let's go drinking, and we'll discuss how respectable I've become.

[Whisper: Beta to Chiba] Exactly what I have in mind. Why don't you bring a few of your new friends and I'll bring you someplace fun.

Nix walked casually down the cobbled sidewalks of Solomon City. The streetlights were just starting to illuminate, the last light of day having recently faded. He crossed a wide footbridge that hovered over the only river in Solomon City, pausing halfway, he turned his gaze north. He could see the large empty lot where the Oasis House use to be. After purposefully delaying for nearly an hour, he restarted his journey, walking directly to the front door of the House of Aquarion.
