"That was quite the fight, huh?"

There was someone else there, walking on the roof. Yomiel had always been afraid of heights, but after his incident ten years ago it didn't really matter to him anymore. In fact, he could appreciate them a lot more now that he wasn't afraid of getting smashed on the ground below.

He went, draping his long legs over the side of the roof and sitting down with a pensive look on his face. Funny how being cooped up in a bubble made people want to partake in violence.

Ban shrugged his good shoulder. "It was flashy, but that's it," he muttered. "I've been in and seen worse. The clown just needed to be shut up for awhile." He glanced over at his new companion, eyebrow raised. "Were you over there?"

"You know the guy? I talked to him over the SFC a while ago...I thought he was just plain nuts."

He leaned forward, folding his arms on his knees. This magic stuff made him worry. It seemed people could be even stronger than him here...

A shake of the head. "Nah, I stayed away for my own good. The clown does have tricks up his sleeves, I'll give you that."

"I talked to him once, and that was enough. He's also roommates with a nutjob from my world, and freaked out my best friend." Another shrug as he took a long drag on his cigarette.

"So I've heard."

"A psychopath, huh? Sounds like something out of a bad B-movie...except it's not."

Well, he was keeping his own madness hiding underneath the surface, unlike Kefka did. It was best to play it safe, after all.

"Is he really a "God of Magic" or was he just joking with me, I wonder?"

"Nope. Real life at its best - or worst. Depends on how you take it." He leaned back, still looking toward the plaza. Looked like it was calming down now, anyway.

"Probably just blowing hot air. Guys like him like to pump themselves up."

"Most likely worst. Good to know there are people powerful enough to take him down," remarked Yomiel, peering down at the scuffle from behind his shades.

"Yeah, I figured as much. He does seem like the prideful type."

Ban nodded, elbows resting on his knees. "We've had people piss of the town like this before. Some of 'em are still here, some of 'em are gone. Kefka's just a new face for it all."

"You kiddin'? I insulted his makeup job, and you'd think I killed his puppy with the way he shrieked."

"Guess this place doesn't have a preference for good and evil." Obviously, if it brought someone like him here.

"Really? Wouldn't be surprised...it seems like he has the biggest temper I've ever seen."

"You're asking for this place to have a conscious choice," he muttered, taking the cigarette from his lips for a moment. "It seems like it picks at whim; the only thing that's certain is that all the new people seem to come at the same time."

At that, he snickered. "Worse than some women I know."

theothersissel February 3 2011, 02:22:03 UTC

"Is that so? That seems like a strange pattern." This place certainly was very odd.

Yomiel gave a wry smirk. "Maybe he got it from his mother."

"Probably has to do with the coral. Just like how we'd have the curses every other week, but since the ship somehow crashed, it's stopped." The cigarette went back in his mouth as he chuckled.

"Wouldn't surprise me."

theothersissel February 3 2011, 02:30:08 UTC

"Yeah, the coral. What is with that? I mean, don't the natives call it Lamufaw or something like that? As if it's a god?"

Sounded a lot like the "rock of the gods", he muses to himself.

ceruleanvices February 3 2011, 02:32:02 UTC

"Lamufao. It's regarded like a golden calf here, but then again, we kind of have to care," he replied. "It's what keeps us going."

theothersissel February 3 2011, 02:33:56 UTC

"Hmmm. What happens if we don't?" Yomiel asked, giving Ban a questioning look. "Do we get smited with the punishment of the gods or something?"

ceruleanvices February 3 2011, 02:37:28 UTC

"Get sicker and more lethargic till you go touch it." Another shrug, another drag on his cigarette. "If you ask any of the natives, they won't explain. And you can't go to the upper district and ask the priestess; no one's allowed near the church."
