[ lightning pushes open the front gates, wincing when it groans loudly in protest in a high-pitched squeak. now this is a scene she's never been privy to, and the eerie atmosphere of the abandoned area is a bit unsettling. she approaches the main pathway with its dim lights with her gunblade drawn, grimace carved deeply into her features. it seems empty but she's willing to bet her money that there's still some lingering monsters, creatures who couldn't quite let go of the past. ]

[guesstheflavor]

[ the lingering monster, right? coming out with a jump from behind a turned-over stand, vicious staff in hand, battlecry--]

Stay back, I'm armed and I-- Liiiight!!!

[aveclumiere]

[ now that calls for a wince for a totally different kind of reason. ]

...Vanille?

[ she lowers the blade momentarily, brow raised at the unexpected presence. she was counting on this to be one of the places she'd have to fend for herself on her own but here was Vanille, looking just as surprised to be here as she was. ]

[guesstheflavor]

[ oh light, she could hug you but you'd hate it-- nevermind, she's still attempting to hug. ]

Finally, someone that's alive here!

[aveclumiere]

[ urggh--she's attempting to pry off the other woman with a small amount of success, still uneasy about letting their guards down in a place like this. ]

...alive, right. We wont be for much longer if you don't let me go.

[guesstheflavor]

Nonesense, I've been managing for quite the time. But we should get to headquarters...

[ grabs hand-- personal space bubbles do not exist around her!-- and guides away. ]

[aveclumiere]

[ lets herself be yanked, sigh, it's just not worth the effort with vanille is it? ]

Headquarters? Just where do you think we are?

hello, jacking this.

[esperanzite]

[ this is hope, not lost but confused, investigating a test-your-strength attraction. the ding in the distance? well, it's commendable, especially since the all the tools have rusted, but the sound might have awakened something over yonder...

yeah, that growl doesn't sound good. ]

Uh--

oh honey

[guesstheflavor]

[ ...peeks over light's shoulders--] Well, Light, you're about to find out.

Now let's go before Hope gets turned into lunch! [ VANILLE, TO THE RESCUE!!! /trumpets ]

oh dear lawdy.

[aveclumiere]

[ itching to have a facepalm moment here but she refrains, instead sprinting towards the source of the noise as soon as vanille finishes. she slides into the scene, eyebrows raised at the mallet in hope's hand as he stands awkwardly in front of the attraction. ]

[ do you feel her judging you, hope? DO YOU FEEL IT? ]

oh snap shawty.

[esperanzite]

[ he didn't really expect to see them there, but under light's stare he lets out an awkward laugh, drops the hammer, and turns to the side with a sheepish smile. ]

...Hi.

..guess we're cardboarding vanille until cella wakes up.

[aveclumiere]

[ she crosses her arms and waits for an explanation. well..atleast he's in good shape. ]

Not exactly the best time for greetings, is it?

still pretty even in 2D

[esperanzite]

[ wants to wave at vanille but resists under light's gaze. turns completely to face her properly, lowering his eyes guiltily. grrrowl grows. ]

Will we run to it or from it?

i'm sure fang would approve

[aveclumiere]

A target's a target, no matter where we are.

[ she assumes her battle stance in front of hope, waiting for him to get ready. let's boogey, bitches. ]

hope does too

[esperanzite]

[ with a helpless sigh, he skips behind the leader and pulls out his weapon, a vivid object in all this gray--or actually, both of them were like flashing beacons in this scenery. ]

On your mark.

...DOES HE NOW. YOU KEEP YOUR HANDS WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM BOY

[aveclumiere]

[ the weight of the gunblade in her grip is a comforting, familiar one, and she squints into the darkness as she hears the sound of monsters--people? enemies circling around them. ]

Looks like we're dealing with a group. Might be a good idea to start the fight with a little boost.

[ time for a quick paradigm shift to give us some stat enhancers. ]
