Alex nodded. "Alright, everyone's got their rings, right?"
"Yeah, let's go," Francis said.

Josh led them to to the uprising town, appearing in the church he and Ben had been in last time. "Be careful if you go anywhere you can be seen, both sides will shoot you before you can blink." He said, echoing Ben's words to him yesterday.

Francis glanced at Alex, but the blind boy did well for himself, actually leading the way to Ben, since he could sense the fifth body in the building.
Ben was crackling as they came in, but he relaxed when he saw Josh. "Food from the capital should be here tomorrow," he said, eyes narrowed.

"I'm assuming that's a bad thing?" Josh sighed. "Oh, this is Alex, Gabriel and Francis." He indicated his friends.

"It will probably calm most of the rioters down unless something else happens," Ben said, looking them over.

"Oh." Josh frowned. "I think the general consensus was that we're going to try to use the rings to find Joan again?" He looked to the others.

Alex nodded. "I'm going to get Jeanne while you guys look," he said.
"Do you not know where she is?" Ben asked.

Josh shook his head. "She's pretty much nomadic. Well that's what the bartender made it sound like anyway. She moves between four cities. We know what city she was in two days ago but that's about all."

"Alright, well, good luck," Ben said. "I guess I'll stay here."
Francis disappeared to go look for Joan.

"You can come if you want. Josh said. "Either we're bringing oan back here or you to her, it doesn't really matter which. Just take my hand and I'll get us to the city."

Ben nodded. "Alright." He grabbed Josh's arm.
Alex waited until the other three were gone before teleporting to Jeanne's home. "Jeanneee?"

Josh used the ring to go after Francis and he, Ben and Gabriel fanned out the streets looking for her.
Since she hadn't yet left, Joan was actually not hard to find. She was on a bright well it main street in front of a clothing store. It was rare she had money in her pocket to spare, and now that she did she was planning on using it o buy some new clothes, as hers were worn and would be tattered soon. But she'd never gotten there.
Two teenage boys had ambushed her near the end of the street, jeering at her and pushing her around. She not speak or make a single move to fight back as they hurled insults at her and shoved her around. Not a single person walking by stopped to help her and the boys didn't seem to fear retribution in the slightest.
One pushed Joan too hard and she hit the ground, her sweater ripped slightly from the impact. "Are you done?" She asked dully as she struggled to push herself up.
The boys just laughed at that and one of them grabbed her arm and pulled down her sleeve to reveal the years worth of markings up and down her arm from the needle. "What's that, huh?" The boys jeered at her.
She jerked her arm away from him. "Leave me alone." She said, without any real hope they'd listen. She shoved past them and turned down a side street towards a darker part of town. The boys eered after her, but neither actually followed.

Ben didn't mind using the boy's distraction to come up behind them. He didn't even care if someone saw him - he'd never been officially pardoned as he was officially dead, so whether he was caught before or after fighting them for Joan, it wouldn't matter. He shocked them both, just enough to hurt. He wasn't going to give them a chance to say he cheated, even if he didn't actually care about cheating.

Both boys yelped in pain and turned to look at Ben. One (apparently the smarter one) went pale, but the other didn't appear to recognize Ben from the school textbooks. "What the hell's your problem?"

Ben smirked and started with the questioner. "You want to know what my problem is?" Ben punched him twice in the stomach, then shoved him hard enough that he fell onto the ground. As the other boy came to his aid, Ben grabbed his arm and shocked him, hard. "Don't hurt people who can't or won't fight back, it doesn't matter who they are," he growled.
