OH GRAND FAIL MASTER, PLEASE SHOW ME THE TRUE WAY.

[icanhaspants]

Surprising absolutely noone, Zidane was lost again.

He had gone trough a door, to get something warm to drink and found himself going out of some ruins.

This... Looked a bit like home had before he was kidnapped by this place, with the run down buildings and all the weird spirits around. And that just wasn't nice.

"Aw, man, I swear this place is going to drive me crazy." He said aloud, without noticing that a newcomer had just arrived.

YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE, MY SMALL, MONKEYLIKE PUPIL.

[hiswomanizersty]

That... wasn't a woman. Actually, he wasn't really sure if that was a human, if he judged by the tail. At least he didn't seem dangerous, and that was good enough for now.

"Crazy enough to start talking to yourself?", Edgar asked in a playful tone.

YEAH, LET'S DO SOME LEVELLING UP!

[icanhaspants]

Zidane jumped after hearing the voice, and quickly looked around to see who was there.

Once he saw the man, he smiled a little. He didn't look aggressive or anything, so he got a little closer.

"Yeah, probably." Zidane grinned. "I'm sorry, didn't notice you were there, sir."

He knew that adding I spent eight years in a place where my voice was the only voice I could hear wouldn't be a nice way to introduce himself.

WE WILL EXCELL AT FAILING. HARD TRAINING!

[hiswomanizersty]

Edgar chuckled. This boy seemed nice.

"Don't worry about it. I won't make a habit of scaring crazy people. Are you from around here?"

NOBODY SHALL FAIL LIKE US!!!

[icanhaspants]

"Uh nope..." He frowned a little. "From what I gathered around, this is a weird place that can bring all kinds of people from different worlds. It changes forms a lot, this is the third time I've seen it change."

Zidane paused to catch his breath. "Also, it sometimes brings people you know, but they aren't the people you know, so be careful." He finished.

WE WILL BE THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA OF THE FAIL!!!

[hiswomanizersty]

"I see...", said Edgar in a low voice, thoughtful. This mistery just got more complicated. A place that can join different worlds! That was completely unheard of in his own world. He made a mental note to investigate further about the mechanics of this weird, yet interesting place.

Edgar put a hand on the boy's head. "Well, young man, do you have a name?"

OH, CAN I BE THE OMEGA???

[icanhaspants]

"My name is Zidane...!" He smiled at the man, appreciating the gesture. "Nice to meet you, mister...?"

SURE. HELLO, FAILOMEGA.

[hiswomanizersty]

"Zidane", repeated Edgar, memorizing. He had such a cheerful smile... it reminded him a bit of his own twin.

"My name's Edgar. Well met, Zidane."

HELLO, FAILALPHA :D

[icanhaspants]

"Did you get here long ago?" He asked with a smile. "You look like a newcomer, but brother always said that assuming was bad manners."

Of course, he didn't even notice that the last part had come out aloud.

NOW, TO PURSUE OUR DESTINY!

[hiswomanizersty]

"This doesn't look much like the Castle, so, yes, newcomer it is". Edgar looked around him. The ruins stood silent with the last rays of the sun. "Your brother gave you good advice, my friend. Still, don't forget your wits when looking at someone you don't know", said the man with a wink.

TO THE INFINITE FAIL, AND BEYOND!!!! [Also, Zidane cheats looking at people's hearts xD]

[icanhaspants]

Zidane laughed a little at that last part.
Yes, the man was right, but he still had a lot of aces under his sleeve that Edgar did not know about... He could see that he wasn't dangerous for him right now, and that was good enough.

"Yeah, I know. I've been out of this socialization thing for a while, so I'm a little rusty..." He winked back. "But I hope I can manage just fine."

...omg true. YOU CHEATER.

[hiswomanizersty]

"You just need a bit of practice. Being social means to hide more things that you let others see. It's a bit more difficult than being friendly, I suppose..."

Edgar let out a tiny sigh, but smiled at Zidane. "Pay me no mind, I'm ranting. So, tell me a bit about yourself, Zidane, while we look for a place to stay."

WELL OF COURSE XD

[icanhaspants]

"I suppose, but I'm a surprisingly good judge of character sir." Of course he cheated, but nobody had to know that.

He smiled again. Whatever was on Edgar's mind, it was probably better to change the topic. "Ah... All right. But my story is a little long, so maybe you would like an abridged version?"

Edgar suffers a bit of Franz's Royalty-Sucks!Syndrome u_u

[hiswomanizersty]

Court intrigues, family issues, never knowing who would be a foe between your friends. That's what always stopped him in the fine line between being social and being friendly. Zidane seemed to notice that too, he saw, and was glad the boy decided to change the topic, as he discreetly suggested.

"I love good stories, nevermind if they're long stories."

Can't blame him xD

[icanhaspants]

Zidane smiled at the newcomer and took a deep breath.

This was going to take a while.

[OOC: you know pretty well Zidane's story, so let's just skip that, and of course, he subtlely skipped the wingreading, guardians, keyblades and Kuja's... more special moments. He did talk about the dreamhopping.]

I SHIP ZIDANE WITH THIS LECHEROUS YOUNG KING.

[hiswomanizersty]

[AWW, HE MISSED THE BEST PARTS.]

Edgar listened to Zidane's story with all his attention as they walked. The youth had suffered more in his 16 years than most of his subjects in all their lives. He couldn't help but to admire the bravery of the boy.

"Yours is a story to behold, my friend... I'm impressed!" Edgar ruffled Zidane's head slightly. He did notice the smile the boy showed when he did that the first time, so he thought it wouldn't be a problem this second. "You must be very strong to be here without your good friends."

He could say the same of himself, but his reasons and circumstances were very different at the time. And this time he hasn't even spent a day away, so he couldn't really talk.
