So, Cid does this thing where he wanders around Traverse, looking for stuff. And, Traverse being Traverse, things are often different to how they were before.
Still, they already have a hotel. A second one is... surprising.
"Huh," says Cid, peering up at it.

Ball? Ball? Ball? Ball? Dezzi likes chasing things, and this guy looks like he could throw a long distance! So she drops a ball (not slobbered on!) at his feet and play-bows at him. Come on, how can you resist such a cute wolf? With lilac swirls in her fur? Seriously?

"......the fuck?"

This is not the strangest thing Cid has ever seen. That being said, it's still fuckin' weird. Cid is very glad of his mop.
...still, the ball is a pretty clear message. Keeping an eye on the not-heartless dog-thing, he kicks it.

[mommahatedme]

! Dezzi takes off like four legs of fury, baying happily until she can catch the ball and...bring it back.

"Urf!"

[gummi_mechanic]

...huh. "Fetch, is't?" He hasn't played fetch for a while. Long, long while. Pongo and Perdita aren't so much fetchin' dogs.
"I ain't doing this all goddamn day, you realise," he says, as he picks up the ball and throws it.
The hotel is new, after all. Maybe there's stuff in it.

"GANGWAY!" comes a high, controlled voice as a young woman comes barreling into him from behind. She wasn't even facing him, no, she was moving backwards, shotgun firing off ever few moments at something following her. "ZOMBIES! MOVE IT!" she didn't know if they could follow her into the hotel...and she didn't really want to find out by a bystander being eaten.

"Ahh, goddamn, what the fuc-" Cid stumbles, and reacts in an appropriate manner when being best upon by moving-thing-with-guns.
Hi! You REALLY wanted a heartless-goop-stained mop in your face, right? Swung hard enough to hurt? Congrats, your wish is Cid's command!

...wait, what? Zombies? "Shit."

That solid whack to the back of her heads NOT something Mary-Jean needed. Especially not in the face of oncoming zombies. Cid really needed a dazed baby sitter going down against his knees right? RIGHT!

Those zombies. The frothing-at-the-mouth-mostly-dripping-blood things. They were moving a good bit faster than a shamble...

Rather than waste time getting up, Mary-Jean was just going to...reload. "This happens EVERY TIME I go by a mall!"

[gummi_mechanic]

Hi there, girl! ...girl with a gun! Cute.

......fast undead blood-dripping not-heartless zombies! A horde of them!

"Shit shit shit goddamn motherfucking sonnova-" Cid is not panicking. He has his mop. He's in good health. ...how fucking long has it been, since he's fought sommat that ain't heartless?

"You are a new person here," a very small sphinx informs him from on top of a TV set. This, apparently, makes him intensely interesting to her.

[gummi_mechanic]

It's small, it's lurking it's got yellow eyes -! But it's not leaking darkness. That's a plus. Also it's talking. Never seen a heartless talk before...

Cid's still wary. "Nah," he says. "This place is new here."

[watching_things]

"I have been here for a long time. I do not think it is new. But it sometimes changes. Are you a human?" This is not something to assume based on shape anymore!

[gummi_mechanic]

"Well, maybe if y'were inside or some fucking - but y'woulda seen the goddamn heartless, yeah?"

"Yeah, I am. You?" It's not eating his face, so it's probably okay to ask, right?
