The Floating Mountain Moves

[somarium_lords]

At the stroke of midnight, a strange wind blew from the direction of the floating mountain. The air seeped through doors, windows, cracks-and everyone who took even a breath would suddenly find themselves lulling into a peaceful sleep. No matter what they were doing, even if they were cooking or just walking, something seemed to guide their bodies

Mother *&^%$#@ #&^*@ @#&^$* and *&@*&! hell #&*&#!!!!

[there's a brief glimpse of panicked NPCs running around, with Cid's airship in the background. yeah, guess who was on the floating mountain at the time?]

Look, if anyone's stuck up on this god forsaken piece of *&^% ya got one hour before I'm takin' off back to Somni. [then there's another small stream of bleeped out curses before he just yells at some random person.]

[hasnoteefs]

[Hey Cid. Hey Cid hey Cid hey Cid you remember me? Apparently I'm up here on this mountain with you and trying to help your organized shrieking. Hope that's okay with you.]

[smokesinspace]

[...the *&$#-]

Toothless!? Hell you doin' here/

[hasnoteefs]

[Coming up behind him, Toothless nudges Cid gently and gives him one of those imploring puppydragon looks. Let me help, yes?]

[smokesinspace]

[is nudged and he just gives the dragon a scowl as he scratches the side of his head.

...well it would be a lie to say that he also wasn't glad the dragon was all right. so just have a grunt.]

Fine, fine. Just don't get in the way.

[She's equally as frazzled, but like hell will she convey it in any way.]

Good to see you in one piece, Cid.

Goddamn lucky. Place looks like *&$# up here.

Nice to see you calm as ever. [his way of saying he's glad she's fine.]

If it felt anything like it did down here, then I can imagine.

[Dad still cares. How cute. She cares too, she wouldn't have commented otherwise.

A snort and a shrug.]

So, what's your take on all of this? You've had a different vantage point.

[they totally need a family reunion.]

Couldn't see much. I was workin' on the Dreamcatcher when this whole *&$#storm happened. But the whole time this thing was bein' moved, it felt like...[this is crazy.] Like it was fightin' it. [and he is eerily reminded of the Planet]

[shines_bright]

[Cid can cook.]

Fighting it? That doesn't even sound possible.

[Crazy indeed. But really, this place did crazy stuff all the time, so she shouldn't be surprised.]

How are you getting down? Your airship?

[radioactive peas, check.]

Don't ask me, but it there was some resistance, 'specially when we hit the barrier.

Yeah. Good thing that black ice %$#@ missed the hangar or I'd rip the thing with my bare hands. But she's still workin'.

[shines_bright]

[Table flipping and knife throwing, check and check.]

Even inanimate objects struggle here, what a surprise.

[Completely unamused.]

Need any ground support? I can locate a secure landing sight.

[smokesinspace]

[he's in the same boat.]

Would be nice. Any open space will do. Just better be damn temporary, and better not get another freakin' blizzard since I can't put this baby inside anywhere.

[shines_bright]

[And she's out the door.]

You'll be receiving co-ordinates within the hour.

[smokesinspace]

I'll be waitin'.

[She was startled by the language at first, but...]

That is very kind of you.
