If there were any customs, they were likely forgotten in this decrepit building. As he walked into the foyer, he could see that the sanctuary had been gutted, walls demolished, pews stacked against a wall, in order to make room for a Flarb Ball court. A game was in full swing at the moment, and they seemed to not notice him.

The game was frenzied and chaotic. Orp couldn't really tell how it was played. Every five minutes, it seemed, they would perform some strange maneuver or pull out a facet of the game he hadn't seen before. It was a lot of ball kicking and shouting and accidental injuries.
A few of the Sharks saw Orp, but didn't really respond to him being there.

At the sound of his voice, every member of the game stopped in their tracks and turned to glare at Orp. The ball rolled to a stop, and one young woman put her foot on it, folding her arms.

The woman narrowed her eyes. She was the only one who spoke.
What's a stuffed shirt like you doin' here? Don't you have your council stuff to attend to? She grinned smugly.
Or are you taking a break now that the wolf is out of town?

The woman thought a moment, deftly bouncing the ball with her foot into her hands.
Who against? The Reds, right? You already talk to them?
She looked weary and irritated when she asked it, as if she knew the answer and didn't like it.

The girl looked down a moment, and some of the Shark looked away nervously.
We didn't do anything to Johnnyboy. He was my brother.

"I am sorry for your loss and the facetious accusations then. I have pledged to start an investigation into what happened to Johnnyboy and I will do my best to learn what happened to him."
If you're gonna look for the guy who killed Johnny, you better watch your ass. He had enemies, and not the Reds.

No one saw it happen. But he kept getting threats from a Flarb Ball team from Highever. The Reds played a game against them in Highever and kicked their ass, and they wouldn't forget it. They stole a bunch of Shark rings and...and you know. I think one of the coaches of the Highever team is in town, actually.
