video/action!

Light! [ Sure hope you wanted one (1) two meter tall guy shouting over the network today, Exsilium, because you're going to get it. Snow shakes his tablet a few times for emphasis, yelling into his surroundings as much as the screen itself. ] Vanille! Fang! Hope! Sazh! C'mon, someone answer...

[ Well, scratch that. He rubs the back of his head for a moment, before setting the tablet down and turning away. ]

I'm gonna need some help here... Ladies! Mind lendin' me a hand?

[ The feed catches the summoning of said ladies, though the pair are onscreen only a moment before transforming into a motorbike which Snow gleefully leaps aboard. He gives a heroic thumbs-up pose to the tablet before snatching it back up, tossing the (still transmitting) thing into a coat pocket. ]

Haha, alright! Let's get this show on the road!

[It's not long before something else is heard in the distance, a sound akin to a low rumble, or perhaps a growl.

It's all but confirmed when that growl becomes a roar, and a little later, a voice that might be familiar to some speaks up:]

I'll take the sky! We'll cover more ground that way. [Fang adds, in a mutter:] They've gotta be around here somewhere. No way we all could've been separated that quickly...there's something else going on.

[ ooc; TL;DR IF YOU EVER WANTED TO BE ACCOSTED BY A GIANT MAN ON A LESBIAN MOTORCYCLE OR AN ATTRACTIVE LADY ON A DRAGON today is your lucky day because they will be hitting up everyone they come across in addition to answering the network. Tags will come from both in separate threads! ]

( and here is one (1) tiny flop of sliver hair about in the streets, although he had not seen the network post -- he sure sees the familiar motorcycle roaring down the street.

and speaking of roaring, that figure in the sky seems familiar too. )

Snow! Fang!

action;

[stonewall]

Hope!

[ See, he knew this complicated plan of driving around yelling wildly would pay off eventually. In his excitement Snow almost drives straight past, but he pulls up just in time. ]

That's two down! You haven't seen any of the others, have you?

[endured]

( anything is possible, even snow plans coming to fruition. the question of the others gets a look before he shakes his head, lacing his fingers together. )

N–no, I even tried looking on that tablet they gave us... but I didn't find anything about the others.

[stonewall]

[ That's disappointing, but Snow doesn't want Hope berating himself over it. He grins. ]

You did, huh? I didn't even think of that! [ Sure hope you don't have anything against hair ruffles, Hope, because Snow's about to give the biggest one known to man. ] Guess we'll just have to keep looking.

[endured]

( at this point, how could he? doesn't stop Hope from immediately raising his hand to smooth his hair down afterwards though. )

Maybe we'll be lucky and they'll be easy to find too.

[stonewall]

Nobody else has seen 'em, but I've only talked to a few people so far. [ STAYING HOPEFUL YEAH!! He glances around, before patting the seat behind him. ] There's space for you if you wanna come along.

[endured]

( staring intently because the last time he was on the back of shiva, he fell off. :C but— )

Alright, I guess we would get around a lot faster...

[stonewall]

[ That was ONE TIME he's much better now (spoilers no he's not). ]

Haha, that's the spirit! [ If Hope isn't quick enough getting on, Snow will help out by lifting him up by his coat and dumping him on the back of the seat. ] Hold on back there!

[ OMINOUS RUMBLING just how fast is this thing going to take off?? ]

[endured]

( ONCE IS ENOUGH (and no one ever believed otherwise) )

Hey, I can— ( nope, clearly today is a day that he's just going to be thrown around like a sack of colorful potatoes. whatever, he's grabbing on to the hobo coat. ) I, um, I am!

[stonewall]

[ Good call, Hope, because he's flooring it. ]

Yeah! [ Any random NPCs standing behind them totally just got covered in a shower of ice, whoops. Snow roars down the street for a moment, before slowing to a more comfortable pace and casually talking over his shoulder as if he isn't trying to drive at the same time. ] So how you been? Hope you haven't been getting in too much trouble without me.

[endured]

( he's grateful at least as the pace slows down, breathing out a sigh of relief. )

I've been fine despite how weird this place is, but shouldn't I be asking you that?

[stonewall]

What, you don't think I can handle myself?

[ He's got this, okay. That's exactly why he almost crashes into a civilian before dodging at the last moment; carrying on without a second thought. ]

Guess we'll find out about the others soon enough. [ He grins. ] Keep an eye out for scared lookin' people and we might just find Light.

[endured]

I trust you to handle yourself, but getting in trouble is something completely different.

( case and point. )

I think we might have a better chance of finding Vanille before Light, she's bound to have made friends with everyone.

[stonewall]

[ Excuse you Snow is a Responsible Adult. Give him a moment to laugh, though, because that really does sound exactly like Vanille. ]

And the old man's probably holed up somewhere complaining about his luck. [ SORRY SAZH. ] But we gotta keep looking anyway. Fang's got the sky covered, so it's up to us to do the ground work.

[endured]

( biggest man child, you mean. )

Knowing Sazh? Probably, or about how he's to old for all of this. ( WE LOVE YOU SAZH. ) At least this place seems easier to get around than Eden.

[stonewall]

[ Shhhh. ]

Well, nobody here's trying to kill us. [ Give it some time, Snow... ] Can't say I wasn't looking forward to showing the fal'Cie a thing or two, though. Guess it'll have to wait.

[endured]

Yeah, it's kind of nice. No giant turtles either.

You know, Snow... I, um, I heard something weird when I first got here.

[stonewall]

[ Hey the turtles were a fun challenge... with a tendency to leave l'Cie flavored pancakes behind on the landscape. ]

Don't keep it to yourself, kiddo. We haven't got all day. [ Well technically they do but. ]

action;

[transgressed]

[Now, she definitely recognizes this kid, and swoops low enough to greet him.]

Hey, Hope! Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. Are you alone?

[endured]

Yeah, unfortunately. You two are the first I've seen from home.

[transgressed]

That's not that kind of news I was hoping for. [Fang frowns, shakes her head, and dismounts Bahamut.] How long have you been here?

[endured]

Just a couple of days, long enough to find out where I'm living anyway.

[transgressed]

So not long...but the others.

[Maybe they were arriving in groups, or something similar. It didn't seem farfetched to think as much, given she and Snow had arrived days apart from Hope.] They'll turn up sooner or later. We got here just fine, right? But since you've been here a little longer...have you figured out anything else about this place? Besides the speech they gave us when we got here.

[endured]

Yeah, probably. I mean... I would hope so.

And no, not really to be honest. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of talking between us and whoever is in charge. Apparently we're just supposed to help them fight this war, and in exchange they take care of us.

[transgressed]

After they've tugged us here. Real hospitable of 'em, to deign to take care of us. [She frowns.] I wonder...is this some kind of test again? But it doesn't make any damn sense...
