"Here's the calvalry", he called out in his usual dry tone, as a warning that he wasn't Cross, or his friends, and didn't mean them any harm -quite on the contrary-. He chanted a few words under his breath to conjure up a wisp of flame suspended over his hand... small enough not to require much concentration to keep it going, but bright enough to help him navigate his way deeper.
"What a maze. And the smell, I must admit, this is quite a place you've discovered, Balthier." He stepped over something that might have been a bag of... rotting turnips... narrowly avoided walking through a half-eaten, partially putrefied, fish, and circumvented a precarious-looking pile of wood, before finally seeing a young girl of about sixteen, tied to a chair, surrounded by a ( ... )

But he wasn't one to back down from things.
Slouching against a wall, he played with the handle of Tsubaki between his gloved fingers. At least if those people from the journal showed up - especially that one douchebag, Uncle Fuckhead or whatever - it would give him something useful to do... that wasn't mopping.
Even though he didn't particularly give a damn about their ransom, he didn't bother the girl either - he didn't really see the point.
"Maybe you should shove her face-first in the journal and give them some incentive," he added in a bored tone, not really paying attention to the newcomer. Hey - if the furfags could do it, why couldn't they? Fucking noseprints.

He didn't want to ask too much, but eventually he found himself walking into the housing sector of the city.
The layout of this town was ridiculous. The best capitalist endeavors were achieved when the housing was intermingled within the market district.
Then again, they didn't seem like a capitalist society to begin with.
So much to fix.
Walking into that section of town, he looked around, wondering how in the hell he was supposed to just magically find Adam. Who was apparently wasted out of his mind.

Adam grumbled incoherently and shot suspicious looks all around. Although Adam would have used a word apart from 'shot' to describe what he was currently doing. The plan was to be as subtle a drunk as he possibly could.
"Right. All of you with your comfortably unshot non-future-corpses-to-be-if-only-temporary. You better be prepared to save my ass should I need it."
Adam hid his gun back where he got it from - for the record, that location was not from within his pants - and opened the door to the warehouse, tripping over something on the ground.
Not exactly the best of starts but oh well. Time to continue on.
Adam pushed open the door and made an anguished face when it let out a creaking noise. Damn thing has it in for me. As casually as possible, Adam stepped in and followed ( ... )

That thought was more terrifying than anything. She couldn't stay the night here like this, no one coming for her, legs and arms bound and tied, blindfolded, gagged...
It was a damn good thing she wasn't claustrophobic. Hardly changed the fact that this was still terrifying and she just wished--
No one was coming for her.
Then she heard a very, clear, distinct BITCH ASS ring out into the open.
WHAT?!
She recognized that voice!
Struggling in her binds suddenly, she tried to make noises, and duly failed.
Goddammit, where are the telepaths when you need them?!
Was Adam alone? He didn't sound... too strategic with what he was doing.
At least... someone had come for her, she thought to herself somberly. She wasn't all alone.

Had they been expecting anyone else?
"Balthier," he started, watching Claire struggle. Surely it must be someone she knew, "We're not alone." he looked up then, just as the rescuer stumbled into view. Well... this looked... not very promising for Claire. The man seemed quite the fool. His hand tightened around his sword hilt. So things were finally going to get under way?

"That is most definitely not Cross. I have no quarrel with that clown here."

Seated atop Kikuchiyo, his newly-found friend, his silver hair blew choppily in the breeze created by the massive flames. They burned brightly, stinging his eyes, the acrid smoke nearly causing the delicate man to choke.
He sensed the stray fonons permeating in the atmosphere surrounding the former warehouse.
"Jade, you bastard," he growled under his breath, hoping Kikuchiyo wouldn't hear. He had promised the machine samuari a glorious entrance, a battle fit for a superior machine like himself (and a superior mechanic, Dist had added)! Soon the flames would extinguish and there would be nothing left. Dist himself wasn't even sure what was going on inside the warehouse, he had only come for Jade.
Damn Jade. Damn Jade for ignoring him. But he wouldn't let this go to waste.
"BURN!" He screeched maniacally, ( ... )
