[ ok so he couldn't manage to hit on her successfully but he did manage to depress her! ...that's not really a victory at all is it ]

...Man.

[ he scratches his head. ]

That's, uh... you in the card club?

[ She shakes her head. ] Once I'm done, I might as well give the card to someone else.

Huh.

[ he shifts his weight, looking back towards the elevator. ]

If you don't mind the company I'll tag along. Wouldn't mind seeing what kinda "missions" this place has to offer, anyway.

[ even if theyre baby ones :| ]

[ Shrugs. ] Suit yourself. [ Presses the button to summon the elevator. ]

[ he folds his hands together over his head and stretches while the elevator takes its sweetass time getting there. ]

So what's the plan, boss?

Find the bully, take back the card. [ Yeah. Like any badasses would do. ]

[ hey, there's a plan he can get behind. nice and easy.

when the elevator's ding alerts the two to its arrival, yuri heads on in. chivalry is dead. ]

You hold him down I'll punch him?

[ And Lightning just calmly walks in. Chivalry doesn't exist in her head. Presses the button to go to the 2nd Floor. ]

I doubt the staff would like that...

Or we could ask nicely.

[ that ttly works with bullies.

once the elevator starts moving, he directs his attention to the inner workings of it, but the floor panel that leads to the emergency escape in particular. hmm... ]

[ Arches a brow as she follows his line of sight. ]

What?

[ he gives the hatch a little test kick but it doesn't budge. there's probably a trick to it. like the elevator not being in motion. that would be a good start. he glances back over at her. ]

Nothin'.

[ She's frowning at the kick. ]

Right. Don't break anything.

I ain't gonna break it! Look, it's as solid as rock.

[ he gives it another kick for good measure...except this time, there's a CRACK that makes him pause, foot mid-air for another kick. ]

...

[ Slaps him - more like punches him - on the arm. ]

Stop that.

[ lmfao OW. girlie hits hard. he rubs his arm and ceases his beating up of garden property. (as if he wasn't up shit creek far enough with them anyway) ]

Geez.

...Hey, the hatch cracked. It looks like it'd open now.

[ Glares at the guy hard. Dammit, she wanted to get this mission over with, but nooooo. Jeeze, he's starting to look like Snow in her eyes. Then she turns to the cracked hatch. ]

Great. This is just what I needed... [ Still, taps the hatch and pulls a bit. Ah, it does open. ]

C'mon, it's this or the baby mission. What if they're hiding something down here? The basement is off limits for a reason.

[ enable, enable. he leans down to help her pull the cracked hatch up and push it out of the way. ]

Hey, stop the elevator. Don't want anyone walkin' in on us.

If they're hiding something, they're hiding it for a reason.

[ There goes Lightning's circular logic, complete with more glaring. She's almost tempted to not follow his demand, but... The baby mission doesn't sound too appealing right now... A loud sigh escapes her before she jabs the Stop button, and the elevator slows to a halt. She kneels to watch Yuri and the hatch. ]

Well?

That's what I said, innit?

[ it's no wonder their idea of 'a reason' differs greatly. yuri, who's kneejerk reaction is to assume the worst, is sure there's something nefarious going on down there. ]

Let's go, girlie. We got a ways to go down so no complainin' on me.

[ with the hatch out of the way and nothing but a nice long drop to the bottom to greet them, he starts climbing down first. hopefully there's a ladder or some kind of piping or they're boned and not in the sexy way. ]

It's Lightning, not "girlie."

[ Glaring, but also not gonna fight the inevitable, surprising as that might be to some. She could just leave him there, but... Yeah, Lightning was always felt to be the responsible one in most situations, so. She starts climbing down after him. ]

Oh, yeah? Well you can call me Yuri.

[ speech of course strained while they're on their grand adventure climbing down the elevator shaft of balamb garden. there's a ladder, but getting to it will take jumping from where they are at the underside of the elevator.

thankfully the elevator was stopped between floors so no one was going to be flattening them. ]

Can you jump?

[ She doesn't answer him, but shows him that she can jump - by dropping down and grasping the ladder as she passes by it. So easily, too, like she does this every day as Lightning steadies herself correctly on the ladder, and looks up at Yuri expectantly. ]

I guess...that answers that...

[ w-well. he kind of lowers himself off the edge carefully and jumps down to join her, but as he is not as SWIFT AS A COURSING RIVER he overshoots and ends up catching a much lower rung with one hand, avoiding a nasty death via bottom of the elevator shaft ]

No problem!

[ he yells up to her, because he knows she was really worried ]

[ Rolls her eyes and shakes her head before climbing down. Once she's gotten a shorter distance between her position and the bottom, she jumps the rest of the way down and lands gracefully. Looks up at Yuri again. ]

No problem.

Hey!--

[ she jumps right fuckin past him and hes still hanging onto the ladder mid-way down. moving his arm out of the way so he can look down at her, he snorts. he ain't about to jump down and break something trying to keep up with her acrobatic shit (do you know how long it takes to heal a broken bone? like five whole minutes, to hell with that) but he's not going to keep her waiting either.

LET'S BE PRACTICAL with yuri as your host. he moves his hands to the outside of the ladder and slides down to the bottom, landing next to her with a thud. ]

You always this much of a showoff or are you just puttin' on a show for me?

is squall the judge

he can be. or... or Alice. Or Albert Simon.
