Vincent sat in the lawn of the community center and pulled weeds, and tossed seeds into the ground where he saw fit. Very few other people would take care of such an important garden, and so he had to do it. Once in a while he'd toss a clump of dirt at a child running by and they'd play. He was surprisingly friendly with children. On occasion a passing parent would stop and say a few words.
[I really don't know what to do. :/ Sorry.]

It didn't take Jaq too long at all to return to Strangetown, her finds stuffed into her backpack or her pockets. As she headed home she walked by the community center, only to spot Vincent pulling weeds in the lawn once again. The plantlife in town always looked so pretty and vibrant because of his care. With a grin she approached, careful not to step in the way of his work. "How do you make gardening look so easy?"

[Well, I just wanted to make sure you were not left behind]
Ticvor returns home when his shift is over. He actually got a good amount of tips from costumers. It was a huge surprise to be honest. Right not he felt like it would be the perfect night to do some star gazing. He was unaware of the fate he'd have to face.
Ximbar smirked to see this new human go to his bark yard to do some star gazing. He fell right for the 'trap' so to speak. The UFO turned off it's cloaking device as it positioned itself above Ticvor's house.
Ticvor was shocked to see a bright light block the view of the stars. Even more so when be began to float upwards towards the light. He frantically tried to grab onto the telescope so he'd stay on the ground. But he couldn't reach it. "N-no" he called out. This can not be happening.
The ship hovered up into the sky after Ticvor was safely inside. Before he knew it he was strapped down, stiffed, and in a great amount of pain from being probed.

[Don't worry about me, I can always find a way to re-enter xD Thank you for thinking of me, though]
"Well hello gorgeous!" Vincent said, waving a pretty weed towards her -it had very yellow, simple flowers on it. "It looks easy because it is. Just pull one thing, and put another one in." He stood up and wiped the dirt off on his jeans. Eying up her bag, he wondered aloud "What have you found today, darling?"

Jaq's face flushed up to a faint pink at being called gorgeous. It made her oddly giddy and giggley. "You don't look too bad either." she first said, keeping a playful tone of voice as she spoke. "I found a few large metal shards. They glow faintly with a pretty green hue. In fact, I think they might have come from some sort of crashed alien ship. Couldn't find one, though, since I was too close to the pyramid for comfort. I can show you them, if you'd like~"

"I'll always look at your work, swee'y." He said, with a horrid British accent and a low chuckle. "I'd rather you not get to close to that pyramid, though. Not without some muscle with you at least. I hear about people who go in and never come out again. Would be such a waste of such beauty and creativity if you were lost to a thing like that."

"The rumors I hear about it aren't much nicer. I wouldn't go in there even if I did have someone to protect me." Jaq replied, looking uncomfortable with even thinking of exploring that place. She was quick to divert her thoughts to the more pleasant topic at hand, which was the strange metal shards she found. Digging carefully through her pack, she pulled them out and gladly presented each and every one she found to Vincent. "Don't know for the life of me why they glow like that. It doesn't matter, though. Just makes 'em look prettier to me~"

Vincent kept his hands behind his back. Silver was no good to him, so he was always wary of metals he didn't recognise.
"They are simply gorgeous, though don't compare at all to your beauty." He said, his eyes not leaving the scraps she was showing him. "Be proud of your findings! ... Is there a scientist around you could show them to? Maybe they could tell you what it is that makes them glow."
[Time for bed for me. Sorry.]

{It's fine. ^.^ Goodnight.}
With a coy giggle, Jaq said, "Flattery will get you everywhere." Looking down to the strange metal pieces, she then continued on, "This is Strangetown, so I'm fairly certain there is. I just don't know who they are, since I've never really talked much with the others about their line of work."

"And with a few carefully placed pleasing words, flattery will get you rich." Vincent said. "I'm sure a stunning woman such as yourself will have no problem finding a scientist willing to do anything to please you."
A few people were wandering around. "People ought to wear their jobs on nametags, would make your next task so much easier. Unless you're going to paint a fabulous picture on these?" He hinted, wondering what her plans were for these pieces.

"Maybe I'll paint on some that don't glow. For now, I think I'll make some sort of ad and post it around town. Or on the internet, and just wait to see who responds." she replied after a moment of thought, resisting the urge to giggle despite her already fluorescent blushes.

Some people were talking about a bright light that appeared over Ticvor's house. Most of them appear to be confused. "Maybe he was just setting off fireworks" a girl said with a shrug. "Unless he was abducted, because that didn't look like fireworks" a pale man said.
Eventually Ticvor was dropped off not too far from his house. But far enough there he'd have to walk. He didn't look too well either as be slowly made his way back to his house. Eventually he'd run into Jaq, and someone he didn't quite recognize. "Oh, hello" he said weakly. He appeared to be in a great amount of pain.

"Well hello, I assume you were hurt on your fall from Heaven?" Vincent asked, half joking, half worried for the man. "There were some lights earlier, am I to believe that it wasn't just a beautiful sunset?"

Ticvor was confused at first. He seemed a little dazed, "There.... were aliens..." he muttered losing his balance getting a little dizzy.

"Oh!" Vincent jumped and grabbed the new man so he didn't hit his head. "Oh, oh, oh, oh." He sighed and picked the man up, holding him how a groom holds his bride and carries her across the thresh hold. . "Yes, that happens. Look, let's sit you down somewhere, get a drink or two and some food in you. How's that sound?" Looking at Jaq, he offered her to join. "Would you like dinner, deary?"
