Hey Jinx, Sephiroth. Can I get a word with you guys at some point this week?

[a pause, and the rattle of a box of nails can be heard.]

Completely unrelated, but Cat d'you want to grab dinner or something together?

[Admittedly, the response comes the next day. Of course, to say Sephiroth is distracted in an understatement.]

Yes, Reno?

[His voice is distant, withdrawn.]

[messyturk]

[Jeez, took you long enough.]

You sound like you could use a drink and things to kill. There's a group of people making an attempt to get to the middle of Carnival, I can promise you lots of things to kill and ya won't go to the brig for it.

[He still sounds distant and withdrawn, but you've piqued his subdued interest.]

Carnival? I've been told it's dangerous. What is the purpose of this mission?

[audio]

[messyturk]

To escort and guard someone who wants to find out more about the place in and out without them dying. Simple but I don't know what's guarding the path we're taking, who knows it might be some sort of WEAPON of the ship's.

'Slong as it doesn't involve that thing ya' got there.

[messyturk]

What thing I've got-- Y'know what. Nevermind.

[sigh]

It's somethin' I'm pretty sure you're very good at.

[standardpackage]

[Pshh. What isn't Jinx good at I mean really.]

Like what?

[messyturk]

[Bathing. Not being a dumbass.]

Things that go boom.

[ntjstapwn]

You know the back entrance is the safe way, right?

[messyturk]

I don't trust this boat's definition of 'safe' any farther 'n I could throw a Nibel Dragon. I don't plan on bein' killed again without taking a big chunk of whatever's killin' me down with me.

[ntjstapwn]

I doubt its truely safe, but we don't need a big group. Its easier to move with less people.

I'm assuming this is before Seph replies.

[messyturk]

Why do you think I'm trying to get a hold of the best damn warrior ever born from my world? He may not even want to, who knows but seeing as the only weapon I have is pyramid and baseball bats I'd like to at least give it a shot.
