[lackingrepose]

[There's something that sounds like the rustling of leaves and bushes. Gil is walking by the Golden District's forest. Perhaps he should have made a left turn instead of a right?]

Where am I? I could have sworn this was the way to...

[There's a low growl and hiss of a cat.]

W-W-W-WHAT IS THAT!?!?

[Another loud hiss, more rustling of bushes.

'Monster cat from hell'? [lina makes a face at the seal on her mantle. this place is nuts. the people...worse. if they bothered to do or say anything at all.

she strolls along her way, squinting up at buildings for signs or some notion of...wherever the hell she could be. and hey, maybe finding gourry wouldn't be such a bad id--]

Mm? [she hears footsteps. fast ones. she glances over her shoulder and--]

GYAH-!!

action

[balls_on_fire]

Hmnh! Good luck with that. The people here are rude jerks. [slight pause, grimacing a bit.] Except the ones who talk through this thing, whatever it is. [she tugs at the corner of her mantle where the seal is clipped.]

action

[lackingrepose]

[Looks around for a moment or two from where he stands.]

I have an idea. I don't know if it'll work or not though.

action

[balls_on_fire]

Well, nobody's getting fed just standing around! [handwave; proceed!] Try it already!

action

[lackingrepose]

Alright.

[Holds out his hand for her to take.]

It won't work for you unless you take me hand. If you don't, you'll get left behind.

action

[balls_on_fire]

Eh-? [blink.

she leans away, giving him an awkward, suspicious look, making a considering sound.

well. she is hungry, so. she reluctantly reaches for the hand.]

...You better not try anything funny, I'll tell you that right now. I don't let that stuff slide!

action

[lackingrepose]

I won't, I won't.

[Takes her hand. Ohai there are feathers falling down around them now.]

Hold on, okay? Don't let go.

action

[balls_on_fire]

Geh-- [she twitches, grimacing at the fancy schmancy feather display. the hell? someone shot a bird just above, right? she even squints upward a half-second to be sure that isn't the case...]

action

[lackingrepose]

[More feathers. Still more feathers. And suddenly they're taken from that spot in the Golden District to the Metropolis District. They arrive right in front of the grocery store. He feels slightly exhausted, but hey, at least they made it there.]

This looks like the right place.

action 1/2

[balls_on_fire]

[aa...someone blew up an entire flock of birds...

lina's suspicion gives way to a mild annoyance at how cheesy and just plain weird it is, but feathers evaporate eventually to--]

action

[balls_on_fire]

Eh? [to...

to...] GAH!!

[lina's grip on the hand suddenly becomes a clamp, yoinking him forward and snatching at jacket/collar/whatever's in reach in a deathlock.] WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO WHAT THE HELL?!

action

[lackingrepose]

[lol behold the awesome. Except she may want to let up a little on that grip.]

Well I got us here, didn't I?

action

[balls_on_fire]

[she yoinks and turns him to blot out her view of the hideous streets, panicked and pissed and pissed about being panicked.]

Here WHERE?! What the hell kind of joke is this?! I thought there was supposed to be food, not...[releasing one hand to flail madly about like the worst vanna white.] Whatever the hell this is!

action

[lackingrepose]

[He's not saying anything, just pointing to the grocery store a few feet away from them. Sup oblivious. If you can't see it then perhaps you can at least smell the scent of fresh baked bread coming from the store? ]

action

[balls_on_fire]

I've had it up to here with all these weird transitions without explanation, alright?! So your exploding goose spell better make with sending me back to where I was right now or I'll-! [wait.

waaait.

she blinks, glancing over her shoulder where he points. er?]

Eh? What? What? Is that-?

action

[lackingrepose]

[Smirking a bit. Lina reminds him of Alice.]

It's called a grocery store. You know, the place where people get food from? I was thinking of cooking steak and mashed potatoes tonight, but if you want something different, we can pick that up instead.
