Down at the bottom of the hole, pressed hard against the bend in the track where the chute turned at a very sharp angle and formed an odd little nook, Ran winced and shifted so she had enough room to press the tips of her fingers against the small of her back. Earlier, the pain had come out of nowhere, and it was enough -- blunt and hard against her spike -- to almost knock the wind out of her backwards, even though most of her initial reaction was that of surprise than actual discomfort. At about the same time, she had heard what sounded like Chase let out a cry from up overhead, the silhouette of her snout appearing at the mouth of the hole before she poked her head down into it and growled plaintively at Ran ( ... )

Dino couldn't quite hear everything she was saying, so he just nodded and smiled before disappearing from the opening of the hole ( ... )

"Oh no no no no no," she said incredulously, blinking at him several times before trying to take a step back, only to realize there wasn't really anywhere for her to step back to. Raising both of her hands defensively, Ran lifted both of her eyebrows high, causing her glasses to slip down along the bridge of her nose as she looked at Dino with wide eyes. "I'm not sure if you've noticed recently, Dino, but I'm not prima ballerina material, and not really the type of girl who's easily tossed into th--"

The rest of what Ran meant to say was quickly cut off by one of Dino's hands tugging at her again, this time wrapping around the back of her calf and urging her forward, looking up at her with an expression that seemed say, yeah yeah get on with it. Any other situation, Ran would have stopped and probably given him a lecture about physics and aerodynamics and now how -- surprise surprise -- she was not the most streamlined for individuals to be launched up into the air ( ... )

Dino grinned widely, proud of him and Dinorap's execution of their Get-Ran-Out-of-The-Hole mission ( ... )

Fast-forward, about twenty minutes. nobodysheroine September 24 2008, 03:31:27 UTC

"Oh sweet god," Ran wheezed, hands braced against both of her knees as she bent double, her center of gravity tipping forward and making her collapse shoulder-first into the back wall of the elevator with an awkward 'oof'. She breathed heavily, in large heaves before waving one hand over her head, back towards Dino and said, as loudly as she could manage, "press two." In the back of her mind, Ran was aware that she should probably go home. But technically, her home didn't exist, it had been swept away by the tides of the hurricane -- broken down into its individual parts and carried off by the storm, taking most of Ran's meager possessions and her sense of 'home' along with it. There were the others -- Dash and Argent and Bastet and Sniper -- the ones that were probably worried about her, but Ran felt only the smallest twinge of guilt when she realized -- at least as far as she could tell right now -- she'd rather stay with Dino, and go wherever that would lead her. She had, after all, sworn to herself not to leave him. And ( ... )

His breathing steadied, Dino's eyes drifted close as he leaned against the elevator wall, the whirring of the elevator moving up the shaft vibrating through his back. Dino listened to Ran talking to Dinorap, her voice comforting and and serene calmed every part of Dino. It was a feeling he could drown in.

His eyes opened when he realized she was talking to him now, "I'd be stoked, yeah. I don't have any place or person to rush off to, besides you." He said, smiling and his blue shining.

Dino pushed his fingers through his hair, releasing the blonde hair stuck to his forehead from sweat. He shook his shirt trying to air it out. Dino would never admit it, but he was trying to make himself more presentable for Ran, not wanting to smell of swear.

"Wait, there's a park in this mess?"

nobodysheroine September 24 2008, 22:53:10 UTC

"Oh yeah," Ran said with a nod and large eyes. "It's a park, but it's a huge floating island too. In fact, Park Island is the most mundane of the lot." She gave a smirk and a look to Dino that said very clearly, no seriously, before listing off a few examples out on her fingers. "There's the music island and the hot springs island and the Marketplace island which -- duh -- has the Marketplace." She paused for a moment, looking up at the ceiling for the elevator, pressing a fingertip to her chin as her glasses slid down the bridge of her nose. "Oh, and of course, how can I forget...furniture island." Pushing herself way from the back wall she leaned forward towards Dino, dropping her voice into a low, conspiratorial whisper before admitting, "they have a ball pitBeside her Chase hopped back and forth between her feet, raising her head in the air and growling shortly several times in a row, as if she was cheering. Ran laughed and settled back against her wall, patting the dinosaur once on the neck fondly. Her voice settled again ( ... )

Dino's jaw dropped and his eyes perked up in curiosity. Ball pit!. An island full of furniture that has it's own ball pit, why would he need a job to live in some stupid cult housing community when he could sleep on a different bed every night and play in the ball pit.

"Map?" he said quietly then realizing it was that piece of paper he had folded into an airplane and thrown off into the window. "Uh, yeah, I've no need for maps. I go where my feet take me and if that happens to be a ladies locker room, so be it none can be blamed but these feet." He gave Ran a boyish grin, "they've a mind of their own." he said playfully.

He pushed himself off the way and in two strides he had settled himself on the other side of Ran, leaning casual against the wall with his hands tucked in his pockets. "See? Mind of their own." Dino, knew how stupid he might be sounding but he couldn't help it, it was his boyish immaturity. It's my boyish charmDing, ding. The elevator doors opened, no more neon electric lights flashing and blinking, bright natural ( ... )
