[Action] / Training time!

[corruptedsouls]

[There's an interesting fixture in the Training Center today -- a scrawny little black-haired boy who's practicing his skills on the monsters around.

The "skills," however, are certainly nothing from Garden: the monsters that come near him end up being deleted -- yes, deleted -- when they come in contact with his left hand. Said hand looks nothing like flesh and blood anymore; it's become a hand-shaped "cloud" of 1s, 0s, glitching... something or other and flickering pieces just as hard to identify, resembling more like what you'd expect from a corrupted computer program.

He doesn't really seem to care much that this is certainly an agonizing way to go about things, if what the monsters are screeching is any indication, but then again, they are just monsters.

He's taking a break at present, sitting down and resting his hand on his knee -- it seems that his own body and everything on it is immune to the... whatever it is.]

MISSION: Stop the Pirate Ship [Marco/Rose/Zabala]

[commanderzabala]

[1800 hours Friday evening finds the Commander waiting patiently at-ease in the Garden Garage. Written in the tense lines of her jaw and neck is the quiet anger that she otherwise keeps hidden behind calm professionalism.]

[She believes, though she won't admit openly, that Marco purposely selected a cadet of all people to join this dangerous, top-tier, ordinarily-Zabala-would-do-this-alone mission simply because she had not directly and explicitly specified that the mission party should be entirely SeeDs.]

[But as much as she's irritated at Marco, she's irritated at herself in turn. She'd know that the SeeD would test her. In this case, they'd outwitted her. So she would play the cards as they'd been dealt.]

[...For that matter, she also didn't expect either of them to be quite on time for the departure, but she'd enjoy being surprised.]

What's up, Balamb? Your favorite SeeD has returned from his exile. I was beginning to suspect that this place just hates me and sent me out to Galbadia to be rid of me, but mission complete. And yes before you ask, I brought presents.

Anyone want to fill a guy in on the juicy gossip I might have missed? You know, other than this whole "practically bankrupt and new commander" thing. Even in Deling City I heard about that.

[In Person]
[In various locations today you may discover someone trying to re-familiarize himself with the Garden... and not wearing his designated SeeD Uniform. Instead, the tall stranger is opting to barrage anyone in the vicinity's vision with ridiculously bright, clashing colors. From the flaming red hair to the green plaid shirt to the bright polka-dotted pants to the light blue sneakers, the guy in question is one walking fashion disaster.

If your eyes didn't explode from the sight, you notice the guy's waving at you. Nothing too enthusiastic, just a friendly greeting as he walks by.

Do you dare approach?]

Action

[silentscales]

[Snake had just arrived and was left staring at the papers in his hands and the strange device. He blinked in confusion, and then in panic as he realizes that the snake that had been hiding behind his ear, Dan, was missing. He was glad to find Emily and Oscar still with him, however. He takes a breath, looking around in silence at the strange surroundings.

He started wandering around, not really sure what he was doing. He goes through the lobby and then the quad, looking a little out of place with his butler outfit. Oscar wrapped himself around Snake's upper arm and over his shoulder, while Emily draped over his other shoulder. He kept the letter in his hand as he walked around, hoping to overhear something that might shed some light on what was going on.]
