In the words of Lemina...
Mega-pooh! No container wars? :P You're just no fun! *casts
Tranquil Litany on Krizak so he doesn't die of exhaustion*
*rubs eyes* Like I have room to talk. :P One good thing about
late starting round - I know I can get that done
tonight/tomorrow morning without too much problems about MORE
info searching. ><; Moral: NEVER wait til the last
second. Procrastination is more stressful than just doing work
on time.
Time to burn some time with Rydia since I
missed most of the round and to cover my tracks... I wonder
what wuld have happened if I hadn't voted on Slash the night
before - it'd be a three-way tie... heh... *sweatdrop*
Oh, uh, semi-FFIV spoilers. :P ------------
Rydia hadn't had a very good day
at all, and was grumpy. Thankfully, things seemed better since
at least they had some 'time off' and could do things, perhaps
even look about the world? Her first "chore" dropped her in
the gaming center she had found earlier, and she burned GP
generously that she had found spilled playing a game that
involved manipulating sticks to get a claw to ppick up little
dolls in the shape of animals and people. She found she had a
certain knack for this, and by the time she was done, had four
dolls. She also found herself out of the GP used here.
Dang... I was having fun. Hmm... out, into the
world... is it like this place? Anything like home?
One doll resembled Kain amusingly, and she had that
one safely tucked away. One had long blue hair and a green
cape. Another looked half-beast with light blue hair and a
horn on his head, and even had a removable mask. The last one
was more like a two-in-one, as a small pink jelly-blob seemed
to be attached to the ehad of what appeared to be Leviathan.
She kept this one out and played with it as she made her way
down.
"Would you ... you like to take the trolley
down, m-miss?" a voice asked.
Rydia looked up. A
rather shaken looking attendand was standing there, guesturing
to the cart. "Uh, sure!" Rydia said, heading for it. The
attandant seemed a bit worried she might do something, but the
doll in her hands seemed to calm the operator enough that she
was perhaps normal - well, except her hair and clothes. Down
she went, reminded of her initial wake up call in the other
tram. This one seemed to be going down, rather than around.
She arrived in an area which looked like it had been a
victim of some disaster - the tournament? - but the people
didn't seem so shaken. More like down, or determined. But not
scared. They watched her walk through the place warily. And
she made a point to get out quickly.
Once out of the
town, she looked about at the fair countryside and enjoyed it.
She summons Chocobo and rode him around, enjoying the cool
breezes and fresh air. She headed east, and eventually came to
a shore. From there she summoned Leviathan and rode across the
sea, the great king taking her north, where chill air blessed
the winds and yet it didn't bother her. It reminded her more
of the Moon. And that in turn reminded her of the Lunarians,
who were sleeping.
"..."
She hoped off
Leviathan as they hit the shore, and thanked him deeply. He
looked different here, so much more sleek-looking and even
more deadly. His scales shimmered in the bright sun as he
slipped below the water and disappeared. She turned, and
headed towards the village she could see northward...
It was there, as she almost walked in the forest she
was stopped by one of the people digging and warned entering
could be perilous to her health without first aquiring some
kind of harp. Frowning, she found she was carrying some gold,
but none of this 'gil' - but they were ready to accept this
gold since ti seemed genuine enough. So the search began for a
harp. After a few tries she located it, partly thanks to the
help of Titan. As she headed into the forest she muttered,
"summons, never leave home without them..."
The forest
was rather odd, and a touch creepy. She kept seeing somehting
floating about between the trees, a red orb, but she sensed a
power she knew only too well from it, and then again as she
followed it deeper into the forest. She finally caught up to
it and grabbed it, feeling the warmth from within.
Summon...?
She started walking forward again,
and tripped over something, falling flat on her face. "Ow!"
she squaked, scrabling up from the leaf-strewn floor. "Huh?"
Under the leaves there were items. She had the unfortunate
luck of tripping over a root, but as she looked down, she
spotted a bejelwed armband hidden among the leaves. She picked
it up, noting four of the five jewels were red, and the fifth,
yellow. She looked around the forest floor and found a few
hi-potions and an elixer, but not much else in the area. She
put the armband on and moved onward, deeper into the
forest... ------------ More later. =^^= Maybe.
(Thank god, this time I managed to NOT lose this despite
unexpected brother showers. :P What a goober.)
Oh, and
uh... Daig... the Namer once again never fails to
amuse.
