This was all very foolish, and annoying. Navigating the congested city streets had become difficult enough, but now there were people gathering to protest? To protest what? Being alive?
Xal was hungry and wanted to get dinner. That was all. These idiots were making that frustratingly difficult, however. GR8-1 didn't care. It didn't need to eat. The arkanian would just have to handle this himself. He walked up to one of the groups, one of the less dangerous ones, adjusted his goggles and tried to talk some sense into them.
"Do any of you actually understand what you're doing? Do you know what will happen to you, if you don't stop? How many successful protests can you remember? I assure you, my memory is far better than yours and there are very, very few." he paused to make certain he had their attention. "However, I'm sure you remember what happened during the unsuccessful protests. Whatever you remember, it was far worse, especially for the unknown masses. The leaders might have at least been remembered in some way. But, their supporters? People like yourselves? The only thing remembered about them is how many suffered and died."
"Go home. Eat dinner. And, hope that no one remembers your face."
Xal looked over the crowd, trying to identify a leader, but none stood out. He did see a few in the crowd take note of his searching. There was nothing further for him here, he continued on his way.
