The Omiya Bonsai Art Museum, Saitama, which lies adjacent to the renowned Omiya Bonsai Village, aims, through its activities, to promote the culture of bonsai -designated as a traditional industry of Saitama City- both locally and internationally. This is achieved through the display of masterpieces and outstanding works with the collection of the former Takagi Bonsai Museum of Art forming the nucleus, as well as bonsai pots, stones of appreciation generally referred to as Suiseki and paintings including Ukiyoe wood block paintings depicting bonsai. The museum’s activities also entail the systematic collection and publishing of documents related to the history and folklore of bonsai.

Nobody took his offer. That was fine. Alexander was used to contending to parties on his own if push came to shove. Nobody could ever say he did not do bad by himself. Still, there he was out in a foreign land awaiting to hear back from a certain organization and so, to pass the time, he looked down upon the gardens from the second floor, sightseeing as he said he would.
Alexander was one of those people who enjoyed being the tourist. It allowed him to take in the sights of everything, learn a culture and of course, be correct in its methods. Those not willing to learn were those bound to repeat the same fate. How right his thinking happened to be when looking down upon the gardens and admiring the nature of it. Humans could be devastating at times, couldn't they? He drunk down the rest of the drink in his hand, playing the role of an oblivious fool quite well as he snapped a picture, taking a beautiful picture of the gardens amid the sunsetting view above.

It was all supposed to be so simple, but bad luck seemed to follow him everywhere he went. These types of things had been happening regularly since before he was born, but if it wasn't over the top? Then, it wasn't Paco. "Coño! Too much teeth, mami." the puerto rican exclaimed slumped on the toilet of the family bathroom, high off of Marijuana & Percocets. Left hand went to adjust his black shades which shrouded his glassy, dry visage, the other hand gripped firmly around the skull of the woman working on the north pole. Knock! Knock!
"Occupied!" she yelled aloud in a cheery tune. "Why you stoppin'?" he spoke aloud to her as she spoke.
Flashing her a pretty boy smile, as his hand motioned her head to finish what she started.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
'Ain't nobody finna be knocking that hard, but the bo-bo's...'
"This is Museum Security Ma'am, Open Up!"
Straightening himself up, he removed himself from the stall. The girl slid the baggies of drugs on the floor to him. Kneeling down he began to tie his AT's, before grabbing the drugs and slipping them into his sock.
"You have until the count of three... Three..! Two..! One..!"
Alexander finished his picture taking and sight seeing, tossing the empty cup into the trash as he made his way down from the Terace. Alexander had hardly gotten close to the bathroom door when commotions were beginning to fill the environment around them. Next had come to cheap rent a good vying for Top Flight Security as they banged on the Handicapped accessible restroom. They were looking for someone and well, Alexander liked to think they got their reward. The door burst for right off the hinges and so did a foul aroma that reeked of drugs, sweat, sex and shame. Use some Air Freshener, why don't they? Alexander kept his distance as a bystander, treks applied while watching the guards haphazardly pursue the fleeting male, but an eyebrow raised. Someone else was slipping out and so, like a set of reptilian eyes lurking amid the murky brown mud waters, he made his move with a roll amid the crowd. While the distraction was good and going, his arms wrapped around between the undersides of her arm and pressure applied to the back of her neck as not even a scream slipped her lips as her body dangled in the air and simply fell limp after being wrangled by the grip like a rag doll. Unconscious, but not dead. He hefted her over the shoulders as he slipped back to the Terace by the grace of his wheels.
"Ey, pessao (man). I hear she's the kind to fall head over heels."
Without a care in the world, she went for a soar, higher than the girl who felt she was on top of the world amongst the Titanic. The gardens were down below, the only open space within the building. Would she fall with a splat? Would the fluffy security guard keep her safe with his cushioned bodily girth or would the one of whom rode her like a wrangler at a rodeo step in? He could not care for her wellbeing per say. That was a means of writing off as a tragedy amid the recklessness if anything. Alexander rode away from the railings.

The rush he got from evading two of the world's dumbest "cops" was beginning to become dull, it was time for Paco to blow this pop sickle stand. By this point he was grinding a rail alongside the stairs in the middle of the garden with a slight grin, ready to make the great escape. Well, that was til' a unfamiliar voice grasped his attention.
"Ey, pessao. I hear she's the kind to fall head over heels."
Without a second guess, she was airborne. What a monster. I mean sure, he didn't have any kind of respect for the girl, treating her like a two-dollar hoe in a bathroom stall. But this guy. This guy was a different breed. "s**t!" he said under his breath. There was no time for smart a** remarks right now. Pedal to the metal, he hit max speed in no time as he bolted for her. The color of his wheels glowing a deep red, as he came up on her position. Once within his arms, he braked hard before bracing for a slight impact into the wall. Laying her down, Paco took off for the Introduction Area the same way he came in hoping to catch the b*****d coming down the steps.

Mankind had a habit of being predictable, if one wasn't filled with psychosis or some other mental delay fit to make their soul heartless. He knew she would never be in harm's way as a result. It was clause of insrinct and good will. Taking the preemptive was also a matter of instinct. Alexander rolled away from the railings for one purpose alone: To rev his treks up and dash forward with a jump into a swan dive below. His body spun with grace, his treks vibrating as water began to pulse outwards, means to offer him a platform in the air at the moment it would count, his body flipping to perform a spiraling downward kick towards his intended target.
The reason to have observed was just a means to skim the wild Rider before him over. From the way he took off, Alexander could surmise he had a preference to put the pedal to the metal. It meant without a doubt, the cheap hooker would be saved, but that was the brief moment Alexander counted on when taking into account that the fleeting hothead was sure to take off again. In between the frame of Paco speeding towards the wall and stopping before he hit it was when Alexander would deliver the kick. His intent was obvious the legs, but if he could settle for the chest or maybe the head, who was he to complain? The result would be the same in him using that kick in itself to spring off and deliver a flip to gracefully land. If in some miracle he missed however, he would still be fine albeit a slight sprain. The second story was not that extremely high, but for a woman who was unconscious and falling down head first, it was.
"So you're the one causing all that trouble," he announced with a thick accent fit for the central and southern parts of the American continents. "Still, I can't quite figure out what would exactly make you take off so suddenly while your damsel did a poor job in escaping. Eh, I suppose jail can sort that out."

Focused as he took off for the girl, her body slowly falling mirrored in his gaze. What struck him as odd was the absence of the assailant, eyes narrowed at the ledge yet the sounds of treks other than his own reassured him he was there. This was definitely a trap. It wasn't an issue though as immediately after breaking, the wheels of his AT's screeched pushing them to max acceleration once more and he veered off to the right. The intensity of his run created an immense amount of friction which caused a crimson glow around his wheels, and all in a matter of moments he was gone. Trailing around to the east side of the Bonsai Garden were tongues of flames left in his wake. The girl lying on the floor of the outermost Zashiki area and Paco rolling from her side to the area he started from earlier before the guy's shenanigans. His high officially blown. Red eyes stared down the guy across the way. "You done talking, pessao?" If this guy thought he was taking him to the slammer, he had another thing coming.

An efficient learner, this one. Recklessly propulsing himself almost into walls, but very efficient. Alex liked that in a person, more so a man. His brown eyes sharply fixated themselves on the assailant wildly bursting himself around the gardens. In that one instant, Paco was slow. Using the kick to the thigh as a means to launch off into an aerial backflip to land from the impending waves of streaking fires left in the wake, Alex would be sure to wrap this up within that time frame. As the flames burned wildly in his aftermath leading up to his arrival towards the dark skinned male, the sprinklers activating to drown the madness away.
Não sei, pessao," (Don't know, man) he stated with a smug shrug and smile before getting defensive in his stance. "Keep me company, hermanho. I might just let you run loose if I'm piqued enough."
And with that, he was ready, his right knee bent with his leg raised as he stood on his left without any sign of weakness. Thanks to all this movement, Alex had a surprise of his own, water fluctuating on his left trek in ruptures as a form took shape into an orb, growing slowly. Maybe a deceit in itself with Alex knowing the tricks of the trade with this skill. Perhaps anticipation on his end as he lightly began to keep up the ball with his ankle like a Soccer ball before kicking it straight forward and insanely, bolting himself after it immediately as both were geared to head towards Paco.

He was done with the games now, with nothing left to hinder him he could focus completely on the opposition. Sure, the attack he tried to steer clear of earlier struck true, but it wouldn't go unanswered. The isolated flames left from before seemed to have triggered the sprinkler system, the water evaporating into steam from the extreme heat as the heat produced from his run was much higher than the temperature needed to boil water. A little water on the ground would not hinder his ability to move at max speed as lubrication only increased friction, these things he already knew. Revving his treks up, he broke off into his run as the man parted his lips once more. Down the railing he headed straight for him full throttle and reached his position in very little time at all. "You talk too much b***h..." It was at the point where the pig took his defensive stance is when Paco came into close range of him. Cocking his arm back he let fly a punch aimed dead center for his face.

Dom kept his gaze focused, his stance of defense firm as Paco did exactly what he assumed in coming towards him reckless as ever. It would be impromptu, but Alex was willing to take the risk. A b***h, was he? He burst out in a fit of brief laughter when the fist connected with a body part, but certainly not the face as their bodies briefly slid against the sleek surface. That was all that was needed as an orb of water springing up with a quick fluctuation right at the moment of their bodies briefly connecting. Alex willingly guarded the blow with his shoulder and gained the opportunity to hold on to the overextended arm thrown as his own leg came upwards for a submissive hold, but that in itself was the deceit as the bubble of water came towards a head, literally.
"And you're so half-baked, it's deplorable."
Pop! The bubble of water burst forth from his trek, countering the force gone forward with that of its own, launching Alex in the air and away from Paco. It was a reckless move of his own, but perhaps something would resonate in Pack's head that relying on his ability to get ahead way faster than Alex was not a wise factor. Alex would proudly take his leg being slightly bruised because what was the fun of having gains without any kind of pain? He properly adjusted his body among the air.

The b*****d sure seemed to be good at defense, or perhaps Paco was quite a tad too predictable.
And so it was time to turn it up a notch.
Even as he made contact with the man's shoulder, he didn't stop moving. No. He was right where he wanted him. Paco began to dance around the man's right side in the fashion of an arc with incredible footwork as he contorted his body to preform twists and turns as if on a pivot to accomplish what would seem an evasive manuever. During this motion, the heat amassed in his treks from his run released in waves of heat as the core of his road manifested. A path of crimson flames burning strong enough to not only evaporate the moisture in the area, but would begin to exhaust the man it surrounded from the smoldering heat. This was the Flame Road!

Paco had fire. He had tenacity. He was truly wild, but that was not enough. With the sprinklers constantly flowing, the ground slicked wet, it simply was not enough to muster fire. As Alexander landed, he knew the outcome already, but was perhaps seeking to have had one more thrill amid the soaking wet gardens. There would Paco be, out cold and unconscious. Alex's thick lips turned to a smirk as he let out a loud chuckle, the sounds of the sirens drawing frantically close. The terrible guards approached, but as they sought to come close to Alex, a badge of his own was sported.
"Here I was trying to take in the sights, but this little garoto (boy) came bolting out that restroom stall with those treks. There's no way that's fair at all. For you guys, anyways."
He couldn't charge the girl involved, no less. That was on the actual police on the grounds of public indecency with involvement of drugs sizeable enough for distribution. As for Paco, that was definitely Alex's jurisdiction as the ATP detained him, Alex rubbing it in with a selfie together of the unconscious male to signify on his social media platforms he just had a very good time. Still, how much time would he have to spend? Alex did exactly stop the situation from coming to a head. Once the ambulance made sure Paco was cleared for some jail time, Twenty-Four to Forty-Eight hours in a cell was determined. If he played his cards right, someone might let him out a lot sooner. For now though, his treks were removed and he was now on his way to...well, jail.
