[and so, in town, a conversation between the most badass superhero of all time shut up he is and the coolest JRPG protagonist ever who is not an emo pants or compensating. shut up he isn't are out for a stroll]
--racing Chocobos is more fun than it sounds.
Dude, no offense, but Chocobos sounds a lot like the name of my favorite cereal brand. I'm just imaging you riding brown shit on a stream of milk. ... I mean stuff. Cereal. Not shit. [He's facepalming here, clearly tired from lack of sleep. DON'T BLAME HIM FOR HIS BAD PHRASING.]
[... you have him wondering if there's such a thing as a Chocobo cereal now. complete with marshmallows and greens and everything. THANKS. but his random remark managed to get something unexpected out of Cloud. it was so random, so stupid... he chuckled. a small one, but Cloud was laughing]
[And Kyle's laughing himself. At himself. But it dies down after he feels something wet drop onto his head. He raises an eyebrow.] Is it starting to rain? [Then he reaches up to feel his hair.]
Ah...? [the blond didn't hear or feel any rainfall. and even if he did? the last thing they needed was more of it to help the swamp stick around. his first instinct was to look up, and that... well, needless to say he immediately regretted looking up. stepping forward, an arm thrust out in front of Kyle,] Kyle! [he forced the man back with him as he looked up at what appeared to be...a dead body strung up, blood dripping down]
What the -- [He's taken by surprise when Cloud suddenly tries to be his shining knight in armor -- but his face contorts in horror as he follows Cloud's gaze up; HE GRIPS CLOUD'S ARM TO COMPENSATE FOR THE FACT THAT HE ISN'T JUMPING INTO HIS ARMS AND SCREAMING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL] My God.
[dealing with the plague of Geostigma, walking the halls of a ruined company after a bloody massacre... he wasn't so much disgusted by this so much as he was shocked. something was going on, and like when he found the one dead body with Allen...he didn't like this one bit]
... ! [carved... he saw it. and his fist clenched. he already had an idea as to what was going on. all it took was the name alone. finally tearing his eyes away, he looked back to Kyle who was gripping him, a hardened look in his eyes. they had to tell him]
Allen Walker. [that's what it said...]
[Kyle squinted up at the name, having trouble reading upside down. However, Cloud helped him out with that one... thanks, Cloud. He gave him a nod.]
I'll contact him right now. [He glanced down at the puddle of blood before them, then at his hand, which was still gripping Cloud's arm. Slowly... he let go, using the same hand to scratch at the back of his head awkwardly as he got out his journal.]

Get down here quick. There's something you need to see.

[Lana + Ino]
Something's going on in town. First the body with the imploded head and now we've got corpses being strung up on posts. I don't know who's doing this or how powerful they are.
Lana, you think you'll be okay? Ino, Guts is a kid now for some reason, so I wanted to know if you'll take him back to the castle until this is all over.
Who else is living in town?
