Gongaga, Gaia a-la Reno and Elena, Wednesday Fandom Time

Okay. So, Mideel had been a bust. But once Zack had been given clearance to leave the clinic that they'd found there, he and Ino had hunted down transit to get them the hell out of there. It didn't even matter where, at this point. Civilization. Any continent would do, so long as it wasn't Wutai, and wasn't drowned in mako. Fortunately, for some ( Read more... )

Zack glanced sidelong as Ino, and then shrugged a bit. He wasn't going to argue, either. Corel needed the Gil. He idly wondered for a moment if the people here would accept handouts of any sort.

He decided, instead, to just conveniently lose some extra gil on the way out of down.

One thing could be said for the shopkeeper. He was certainly efficient at packing up their order for them. For all of the rummaging that he had to do to find it, really. Zack gave him a slightly shaky if thankful smile, paid him (tipped him), and then, with several more tents on his shoulders than he'd expected, made a quick heel-face-turn and started his march toward the edge of town. His PHS map pointed to a rope bridge leading to the old railroad tracks, and they could probably just follow those out until they made it to the plains on the outskirts of Costa Del Sol ( ... )

He glanced over his shoulder at her, shooting her an awkward sort of smile.

"Well.... it's just that Junon is on the Midgar continent..."

After Mideel, Gongaga, Corel...? He needed to know.

Ino came to a stop, balanced precariously and stared at him.

"You want to see Midgar?"

Zack took another step, two steps, and then stopped as well.

"It's that bad, huh?"

She made herself keep walking, just so she could catch up with him.

"I won't say to not go," Ino said, earnestly. "But--yeah. It's that bad."

And worse.

"I need to know," he said, simply. "I've been told. I mean... I know something happened there. Have you ever noticed how tired everyone is? I can't help but see it. It's everyone. Everyone who knows."

And it had been eating at him. For around a year, now.

He shrugged his shoulders again.

"It's home."

flowering_mind December 30 2010, 19:27:25 UTC

She reached out for him then, thinking better of it, let her hand fall.

"We can go," Ino replied, looking down. "You should see it. Just--don't say anything 'bout going to Midgar next, when we reach Junon?"

Reno would find some way to stop them, she was sure. And that was a scene she... didn't know if she wanted to deal with.

Zack quirked a tiny smile. There wasn't anything behind it. But it was there.

"They don't need to know that we're going anywhere but straight back to the island," he promised. "We can thumb a ride to Condor, and then there's a cave near there that I've had a few monster-hunting missions in before. That should at least get us to the other side of the mountain range."

Provided it was still there. Zack had no idea just what to expect, anymore.

Ino idly wondered how long their lies would make it past the Turks. On the other hand... they were both so wiped and there was so much that had happened that...

It was possible anything out of the norm would be attributed to that.

Her smile did as little as his did. "Let's go, then."
