Post by Rubicante / Cagnazzo on Jul 6, 2008 6:00:39 GMT -5
(OOC - Ditto. Whenever you are ready as I try to figure out this situation as well.)
Cagnazzo gives out a big sigh of relief as he got out under the bridge. He starts to walk close up to Dante... still figuring out what to do...
"... ok... just go up him... say hi... and hope to not get punched in the face."
Just before he put his arm on his shoulder, Dante just happened to turn around and pummel to his knees, groaning...
"Oh geez! Not looking good!"
Dante: "You..." He puts out the revolver just drops it and falls the ground...
"... <.<...." He pulls out an odd device and presses some buttons... an odd sound rings out... "Hey... yeah, sorry to bother you Rubi but we got a bit a of problem ... yeah, he entered into emotional instability ... give it to him now? ... are you sure? ... fine, we'll meet up to whatever this ship lands ... yes, yes, I won't get involved in whatever he battles so you can get your damn results -.- ... I just hope Dante figures it out by then until he meets up with us and before he battles ... no, he hasn't entered into some form of relationship with that girl; he just got dumped or something I think... though he was pretty damn smooth with those moves... well, not really ... he hasn't unlocked it yet, we still need 'the other side' ... ok, I'll call you back, we're talking too much, I'm woozy and air-sick, and we're revealing a bit too much to others... no, I'm not breaking the fourth wall! I'm going now, kthxbai."
He flips it close and kneels down towards Dante. He seems to place something upon Dante's chest and gears. He finishes up of whatever he's doing and start to ready to leave. "There... hopefully you'll won't lose your mind..." He creates some water and throws it at Dante's face and runs off back in the airship, sneaking the same way he did with no one noticing... mumbling about the engine room again...
Though he gives a little evidence of some water on the floor... though it should not lead to him at all as it is rather random.

Dante awakes... feeling a bit better than before. He does not know or how it happen, though curious about where the water came from, at least he is back up again without much of the physical pain of Eva's response... though still wondering.
He walks back in the airship, just hearing over the plans... then... "I have my reasons for being schizno, you prick."
Then everything goes a bit silence from what came out of Dante's mouth. "I... need to rest for a moment.... sorry... bad day and crap." He pauses again, wondering... "Ugh... just tell me when we are ready to head out... before boredom takes over or something."
He groans in annoyance and walks away sitting on the couch facing the opposite of people, away from some people... wondering what happened. He does not feel as much pain on his chest before though... at the same time, he felt and showed that he need to talk with someone for a moment...

Galeon smiles as Rainii smacked Shaft in the back of the head.
" It's true we all do this whole 'saving-the-world' thing once or twice a month...So we've gotten used to it and try to make the best out of it..."
He laughed sitting down on the floor then laying down as Dante entered. He blinked hearing Dante and got up looking at him. He debated going over and talking t him. It looked like he needed someone to talk to whether it was with another guy or a girl he wasn't really sure. He then walked over to Dante.
" Hey Dante...Is everything alright?"

Dante looks up to Galeon. "I... just feel odd at the moment."
He pauses for a moment... then... "Do you get a feeling that somewhere deep inside, someone is yelling in your head to do something to you or himself... that felt you did it before... but at the same time, you never did it at all? I mean... you hear the voice... but it is you that you hear it... but it does not make sense as hearing you hear you... but then..."
"...." Oh my god, you can hear... you! And say from... you! This boggles the mind!
He looks left and right... then at Galeon. "Yes... I can hear you, Galeon... and sorry if it is making your mind confused. I... should have not mentioned it to you... sorry."
"...."
"... you did say something, right? Ah... never mind... I just need to rest for a moment until we get to Balamb. Maybe we can have a friendly talk next time or something. You know... guy talk or something."
He pauses again... wondering... especially the lack of pain in his chest now. He just groans slightly. "... my mind is into other wonders at the moment, sorry. About what happened to Natalia... and... Eva...... but please, just wake up when we get there. Thank.. you..."
He lies on the couch... and actually dooze off and sleep; something he has never done for the longest, LONGEST time. He gives out a snore and stays quiet....
(OOC - So yes, whenever you are ready...)

"I've never takened you for a poetic type Rainii."
::Eva said jokingly before leaning against the wall::
"But your right I suppose...in some ways I feel as though I'm trying to catch up with my father at times. I've heard so many stories and I want to live up to that but..."
::She smiled a bit looking out the window::
"I want to make my own chapters in life so one day I'll be as good or better than him. Its only natural for the new generation to surpass the older ones at times. But even then, sometimes one can't survive without the help of their friends."
::She clenched her fist slightly::
"Wherever we go now, I'll be ready to give it my all."

((OOC: Seems everyone forgotten about little old me))
*While he's away from the others, Jas suddenly collaspes, his head throbing in pain. After a few seconds he stands back and heads back to the bridge. He enters and looks around* "I take it the land party has been determined." he said. *However, to Eva his eyes shown he looked like a different person, not the same Jas she knew*

::Rainii falls silent, her mind caught up in thinking about what lay ahead when they get to Balamb. There was only two things she could be certain about-- 1) whatever transpired there, it would be painful for her, be it emotionally or physically. Or both. and 2) It would be a hard fight, and there was a good chance she could die. ::
That's to be expected, though, given my occupation.
::She wasn't nervous, no-- she didn't get nervous about these types of things anymore. But she was still wary, because there was a difference between fighting an enemy you could despise, and throw you whole heart into fighting, and fighting your best friend who seems to have snapped. A really big difference.::

::It's been five days since the party joined up with Shaft. They took refuge in a port somewhere to re-supply and build up their strength until Shaft heard anything about Natalia's activities. Now They're aboard the airship again and heading for Balamb Garden::
Shaft: Alright, we're all clear on the plan?

((OOC - Sorry for the wait. It's all explained in the Guest Chat section. Suffice to say that weekends now suck for Julie. I'm starting a few pages back, just so Eva's question doesn't get ignored. I'm also giving Jas a chance here. So we're all kinds of chronologically messed up, but we can fast-forward the five days anytime.)) "...And Julie what exactly happened to you? I haven't seen you in forever....." :: Julie smiles :: "Well, I've been taking a break from world-threatening battles lately." :: Julie notices as well that a few more of the familiar faces on this journey had been from the same kind of battles. Rainii's comments on the frequency of these events make Julie wonder if the same thing was starting to happen to her. :: So the plan is we split into three groups and head for Balamb garden... :: Shaft's explanation of the plan definitely makes it sound like Rainii would be the first in danger. Instinctively, Julie wants to be there with her, but having seen Rainii in battle before... she's pretty confident that her sister can handle even this. And she knows the other groups will need good members. But at the same time, she doesn't want to end up stuck in the sky while Rainii goes down and risks her life. Even moreso, Julie is starting to worry about Iole. :: "I take it the land party has been determined." "Not really..." :: Julie speaks again for the first time since Shaft's verbal assault on Rainii. :: "I don't really care which, but I want to go with Rainii or Dante. I don't know if I'd be much use with someone draining energy, but I definitely don't want to be stuck up here."

The days had passed quickly for Zion. He had spent them wandering in his own mind, searching for answers he knew weren't there. Now, he was ready for battle. Despite his original disclaimer, it felt oddly good to be doing this again. He would never say that though. The reasons wouldn't make sense to any of them. Either way, he sat calmly in the ship and waited for the action to start.

::As much as she didn't want her sister in harms way, Rainii felt a lot better at the idea of having Julie with her than up on the airship, where she couldn't watch out for her. She grins at her sister as she begins to speak.::
"Well, you're in luck, because Dante and I are in the same group. And--"
::She stands up, and moves so that she's next to Julie, but facing Shaft.::
"--I think she'd be good to have in the land party. You said I'd be leading the land party, and I think I should be allowed one decision in who is included in that group, so...I want her to come along. That would bring our total up to 5, including me. Besides, we'll need all the help we can get."
::She pauses for a moment.::
"Please?"
(OOC--Galeons in the land party, right? It sounded like he was, so I counted him in that total.)

(OOC: Yeah, he is. Zion, decide where you're going. And does anyone know what happened to Rinoa?)
::Shaft grunts::
It's fine. But we should have made this decision earlier.
::He points out the window. Balamb Garden is visible now, and so is the calamity going on there::

Post by Galeon Chaos on Jul 7, 2008 19:02:26 GMT -5
Galeon looked out the window at Balamb Garden watching the calamity take place.
" We best hurry down there..."
Galeon had become serious again. He knew when he had to be serious and when the time came for fun and this wasn't the time. They were about to take part in a battle with fellow comrades who knew what would happen.
"....I'm ready whenever you guys are ready...."
He looked to Eva, Rainii, Julie and Dante.

Zion stands and walks to the window. Looking out onto the garden, he decides his place is down there. Besides, that's where the action he came to find would be.
"I'll be landing with the rest. This Nyx you spoke of, the shadowy one. It seems we share a tactic. I think I would be a good match for his style."

::Eva nodded as she tightened up her gloves on her hand as she looked out of the window:: "I'm ready to go as well...don't anyone die out there..." ::She looked down at the chaos with a frown on her face:: At least I can go into that form by will now....*A Few days ago* ::Eva was on the balcony looking out at the sky again before steadying her breathing as she shuts her eyes:: That form....it was triggered by my rage...my demon half...heh, no wonder I have felt differently.::She took a look at her hand and clenched it:: I feel a lot stronger in my demon form...but there's a flaw with it....its too draining. And I can't fully control it yet, otherwise I can lose myself and attack friend or foe....::She slowly began to concentrate as her eyes went from its normal blue and slowly went to red:: I will need to learn how to control this before the next fight....I'll need it....*Present* I've always wondered about the sword....but it makes sense considering those two were best friends/rivals.(OOC- In regards to the blade itself it was the same blade as you saw in that picture) "Rainii, if things get too overwhelming...." ::She tosses her a ring:: "Use that, its called, the Promist Ring....any elemental magic against you should null it down quite a bit...and not to mention it'll help you keep up your strength and absorb magic in case you push yourself too much." ::She then turned her head, a earring slightly flashing before her hair covered it up again as she walked over to Dante though she looked slightly hurt but was replaced by her serious demeanor:: I don't know why you've been avoiding me these past few days but I still need to give you this.::She hands him the ring and looked in his eyes:: "This is the Protect ring....granted I'm not entirely sure how things are going to go out there...at least this way most of your abilities you won't have to use as much strength to perform them...but it'll still have the same effectiveness." ::She walked over to Julie with another ring and whispered in her ear:: "Its the Rebirth Ring. I'm counting on you to keep an eye on everyone as support if you can if things are getting to hectic." ::She looked over at Jas:: "I hope you do get your memories back....things haven't been the same with you..." ::She tossed Galeon and Zion a belt:: "Power Belts...at least it'll give your attacks a bit more force...and a easier time to counter." ::She then smiled:: "As you can see I was a bit busy while I was gone....I think those would help everyone out alot...." (OOC- Ah I gotta love ff9 for those items lol, and I shall not reveal what earrings she has on though if you think about Eva's character, its a simple guess )

::Rainii takes the ring from Eva, and smiles.::
"Thanks...I'll probably need it."
::At that point, they are close enough to Balamb Garden's entrance that Shaft has begun to open the exit doors. She moves forward standing directly in front of them, watching, waiting.::
"Here we go..."

Galen grabbed the belt in the air and smiled.
" Thanks Eva this will do nicely for the upcoming battles..."
He put it on and looked at the rest of the group and smirked knowing that they would all be fine. This group was one of the strongest, emotionally, he'd been with for a while. They all had such strong emotions which would lead to great things.
"..Let's get this over with shall we?"
