[Action in Luca/Phone call to Selphie]

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

[Bartz hasn't quite been himself for the last few days, whatever being himself counts as, but he's recovered at least a little by the time he gets to Luca. He leads Lin the chocobo through the streets, looking between buildings and a map in an attempt to find wherever Lenna's been staying.]

[And also RING RING! Pick up, Selphie, derpface is concerned.]

About one, I think. Squall been having you burn the midnight oil over there?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Wha...?

[Sees that alarm clock finally.]

Why didn't somebody wake me up?

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

Sounds like I just did.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Mmhmm!

What's up?

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

Wanted to make sure you were still around. Heard how many people got taken away.

Feeling okay? Other than being a little sleepyhead.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

I've been busy. [And avoiding the network and dealing with her issues.]

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

[He can't tell if that's upset or exhaustion in her voice. Or both. And he's not going to ask.]

Where's your seed. Garden. Flower. Thing right now? Think ol' grumpy'll let you take a break?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Hold on... lemme check...

[Humming a bit to herself, Selphie checks the GPS to see where the Garden is at the moment.]

Huh... we're at Luca right now.

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

What'cha know, I'm in the area and everything.

So. When I first showed up, you told me about those train. Things?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Let me get dressed and I can meet you at the Blitzball stadium!

Yeah! What about them?

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

They're like monsters made of metal, right? And they're loud and move across metal lines?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

But they're not monsters! They transport people over long distances. But they are pretty loud and move along train tracks. They're still the best though.

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Cause I think I saw something like that in Treno. Think you could get away with a day off?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

There's trains in Treno? THERE'S TRAINS IN TRENO?!

We gotta go! We gotta go like right now!

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

Heh. Guess I should take that as a yes?

I'll be at the stadium when you're ready, okay?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

You got it! On both accounts!

See ya soon!

THIS IS NOW ACTION I GUESS?

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

[And he's waiting by the stadium, helping a small boy who wanted to try riding a chocobo back down from Lin's back.]

YES IT IS.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[At least she hasn't managed to trip yet.

At any rate, Selphie's gone barrelling through Luca until she skids to a halt next to Bartz. She's not wearing her usual attire (it's a little cold for a jumper) but she's sporting some overalls, one of her favourite yellow tops and a jacket for good measure.

She looks up at Bartz with an excited look.]

Trains?

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

[He laughs, ruffling Selphie's hair.]

Trains. We headed to Treno, then? There'll be a boat back to the mainland in a few minutes, then we can take the cable car up the mountains. Shouldn't take too long.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[She pouts at him mockingly before laughing as well. She came prepared for hair ruffling this time.]

I've never been to Treno before. What's it like there?

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

It's- well, it's an interesting place, for sure. You'll want to keep a close eye on your possessions. It's always night there, too, but it never dies down. Always something going on.

[He starts to lead her toward the docks. He's in no real hurry. Even if they miss the next one, boats back to the mainland are fairly frequent.]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... Sounds a bit like Deling City to be honest. It's always dark there too. We're heading for a town full of thieves huh? I might be getting a bit of workout then, won't I?

[Selphie chatters while following Bartz. If they miss the boat, they can always go inside the Stadium. She's been wanting to find out about this Blitzball business for a good while now anyway.]

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

...Deling? Is that a name or is it...I dunno. A verb. Like 'To del'. Is it a city of people who del?

[He pauses briefly, having managed to confuse himself, then grins.]

Don't worry about it too much, we'll be fine if we keep our guard up.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

It's the name of a city, silly! Squall didn't talk about home a whole lot did he? Well... I wouldn't expect any less from him. Squall is Squall after all!

If they go after our stuff, I'll beat 'em up!
