✖ Voice / Video ✖ Mai + Traverse Town

[savingjerks]

[The distinct sound of rustling fabric is audible for a few minutes until a light clatter indicates the communicator has been dropped. A voice, feminine to say the least, heaved a sigh as a very familiar Kupo! followed.]

How many times do I have to repeat myself: I don't want anything.

[There's more voices now.]

Take this! You have to eat

Believe me, I understand entirely! When it comes to picturesque dream vacation spots, Traverse Town ranks near the bottom. Heh, you should give Halloween Town a whirl some time, or do you prefer brighter places, more sun? You don't really strike me as the kind that would enjoy that much either.

[savingjerks]

I can't stand bright places, they make me physically sick.

[we_schmooze]

Then you should try some place darker, like maybe the Underworld.

[savingjerks]

Excuse me?

[Weird blue-haired, guy. Did you just invite her to kill herself?]

[we_schmooze]

I'm Hades the Lord of the Dead. Maybe you have heard of the Underworld before?

[Hey why not? Great company, free room and board... ]

[savingjerks]

Lord of the Dead. Some title.

Is that an invitation to kill myself or visit you?

[Come to think about it, she figures they're one in the same?]

[we_schmooze]

You don't actually have to die in order to visit the Underworld, that is just the fastest way to get here, those gummi ships take forever but mortals seem to prefer them for some reason.

[savingjerks]

I wonder why. [Yeah. She finds that funny regardless of the monotone.]

Either way, I don't know what a gummi ship is and I don't own one. It seems like you're going to have to wait until I get fed up with breathing.

[we_schmooze]

I don't know. You would think they would be grateful that they have some where to go after they pass on.

Yeah, don't take too long then. I hate waiting around for guests.

Or...

You could go borrow a gummi ship from the gummi ship dock. You know, if you would rather use that instead.

[savingjerks]

I'm not sure if I feel flattered or not the Lord of the Dead keeps insisting I visit but I'm sick of this place.

[But she very well knows she needs a damned break from this scenery.]

You never explained what a gummi ship is. I don't drive ships. I ride in them.

[we_schmooze]

Just a space ship. You get inside, tell it where to go, and smil--

[Oh. ]

You might have to have some one drive you, maybe a moogle... those things smile all of the time.

Gummi ships do run on smiles, for what ever silly reason.

[savingjerks]

[She's giving you a look. Now she's just going to turn away. Screw that.]

Yeah. I think I'll stay here for now.

[we_schmooze]

Too bad. If only you knew how to control the darkness... then you could just open up a doorway and step though.

[savingjerks]

What are you going on about now?

[we_schmooze]

It just follows. If you are tired of being trapped in a place and you can't leave because the technology is that backwards, you will obviously have to find a better way to travel between the worlds.

[savingjerks]

You're not very good at convincing. I think I'll just wait for my boyfriend to take me.
