Okay, so here's how it is. There's this new road to this 'Academy place' the locals are acting like was always there. And they're fretting over it like mother fucking hens without some brood or whatever you call a group of chicks. So, let's all be honest and admit we're curious.

And ain't all of you lucky that you've got me here. Who isn't lucky when there is a speedster around? Basically, I'm gonna go check it out, see what's up and all that. But figure it's probably best to buddy system this. Anyone up for the trip? If you've got a chocobo you can ride. Otherwise I'll carry you.

I also need someone to help and watch out for the kids at the market for me while I do it. Gotta keep the business going smooth and all that. So, who's up for it?



[OOC: If one or two people want to join him, I can set up a log for them to go on this quest]

[serendipitously]

I'm not sure I want to ask about what a chocobo is. But, if you do need some help I can at least offer backup. [ She's impressed he's not just rushing out into something alone. ] Are new places here often dangerous?

[doubled_speed]

Think big chickens you can ride. You'll see them plenty in the markets and coming from the farms.

And yeah, sometimes they are. Life's just like that in this place. Seems weird.

[serendipitously]

My brother would have been a much better choice to bring to this place. But these places never choose best on suitability, do they?

I'll have to keep that in mind. Do things change frequently?

[doubled_speed]

Nope. They don't. But I'd rather it's me here than B.

I think they do a bit? I don't know, every other month? It's hard for me to tell. I haven't been around as long.

[serendipitously]

I can understand that. I'd rather I be here than Brian or even Warren. [ Mostly because Warren's a bit...unstable even on a good day and this place seemed pretty weird. ]

Well, at least it won't be boring to be here.

[doubled_speed]

Man, it's never fucking boring here. Except when it is. It's nice like that. But less crises like back home.

[serendipitously]

Except when it is? [ she chuckles. ]I can appreciate less crises than home. I can't remember the last time I had a vacation.

[doubled_speed]

Well, if you see this as a vacation you're definitely a bit unique.

[serendipitously]

[ She laughed. ] I considered my time with the Exiles something of a vacation too.

[He's still learning to ride, but Terra knows he can borrow one until he can save up enough to buy the one he wants.]

I can go with you.

[doubled_speed]

Sounds good.

And gotta ask. Who are you?

[orangewayfinder]

Terra.

[He realized it might be easier for either of them going alone, but he still wanted to go. Checking out new things that were going on since the last time he was here was a good idea. And he could be of help, so there was that. The man used strange language that he'd never heard before, but Terra wasn't about to let that bother him.]

Where did you want to meet up?

[doubled_speed]

[Well, if the dude wanted to trust him, that was something Tommy would accept.]

Gates of town.

[orangewayfinder]

[Terra nodded.]

I'll be right there with my chocobo.

[doubled_speed]

We'll be waiting for someone else, if she can get a bird too.

[orangewayfinder]

So there's three of us? Or are more coming too?

[doubled_speed]

Nah. Two or three, that's all.

[unknownmoirai]

I can check on the children in the market for you.

I imagine you'd feel relieved to have a watchful eye on them as they worked.

[doubled_speed]

Hey! It's you! You were in the Sphere, yeah? The rabbit lady!

[unknownmoirai]

That's right.

I arrived a few months ago, Lancelot too.

[doubled_speed]

Awesome. Seems like we've both got pets around. So yeah, maybe you could watch Speedy too.

[unknownmoirai]

I would be happy too.

I remember making a sweater for Speedy in the past. If you need more I work at A Cut Above here in the city.

[doubled_speed]

I would very much have to do that. He's a cold little dude here, and he's growing.

[unknownmoirai]

Then I will measure him when I watch him. You can let me know what fabric colors you'd prefer at a later date.

Oh. How many children do you work with?

[She's going to bring them candies.]

[doubled_speed]

You are so kind. Thank you.

[He has to do some mental math.]

Less, with the orphanage now. But about twenty. If the number's wrong. Mono has a good count too. Trust him. Kid knows his stuff.
