002

[ Here's a Lightning, walking - more like marching - her way down the circular path of the first floor, her destination in mind being the 2nd Floor. Her stride is brisk and long, the red cape of her attire flowing in her wake, and if one notices, there's a small frown on her face. The reason for this face? Why, it's mission time! ]

Bullying... Hn.

[ In a way, taking on this Mission (2) was more Snow's thing... But Lightning also isn't very lenient about bullying, so if anyone wants to join her for whatever reason, feel free! ]

I don't see nothi-

[ except those two oil monster things jumping up out of the oil reserves?

he's retrieving his metal knuckles from the pouch around his waist and pulling them on as the monsters shuffle towards them ]

...Ha, is that it? Well, let's take these ugly bastards down. You ready?

[ Always ready! Lightning's already on the offensive and rushing her way towards them, transforming her weapon into sword-mode and hacking and slashing at them first before firing off a Ruin spell as she jumps away. Her moves are quick, precise, and as her name implies, lightning fast, and she switches to a Ravager style. Considering the heavy stench of oil coming from them... She fires off round after round of Fire spells at them. ]

Looks like that worked.

[ indeed the fire seems to be most effective, as the beasties recoil and screech under the onslaught of fire spells. it looks like they won't go down that easy, though, and they're already preparing their next attack-

but yuri's not gonna let lightning have all the fun, dropping his weapons and enduring the pain of the mistletoe curse as he fuses into the fire spirit fides next to her. ]

[ moving towards the baddy right after fusing, he starts into a hard-hitting series of sword strikes with a blade coated in fire

-and between that and lightning beating the shit out of it, one of the little bastards flops to the floor and gives a death rattle. ]

[ Lightning takes several steps back to watch in slight amazement at the something that appeared beside her and is attacking the beasts with her. Shaking off her shock (bad move on her part), she attacks the other living oil monster with strike after strike of a fire-laden sword. ]

[ after the last one falls, yuri falls out of the fusion gracelessly, grasping at his chest and regaining his footing.

in the hopes of not having to explain, ]

Geez, they should be paying us for pest extermination. Let's keep going.

[ Yet Lightning stands her ground for a few seconds longer, staring skeptically at Yuri's back. ]

I suppose that was you.

[ man. he looks back at her, looking less at ease than usual. he really hates explaining but since its the main source of his power he can't really go around not using it. ]

I'll explain later.

[ Well, thankfully, Lightning isn't usually the prying type, so she just nods and follows after him, still keeping her weapon out and ready. ]

[ past the corpses of the oil monsters, they come to another circular catwalk which (predictably) houses another ladder-

with a SIGH and "they really love their damn ladders" grumbles, he starts the tedious descent once more ]

[ Lightning doesn't complain, so Lightning doesn't say anything, even if she does think the same thing in her head while she descends with him. She looks around... ]

Hm.

[ the room is like a big metal dome? with a huge gear thing in the middle. suffice to say yuri has no idea what the fuck he's looking at, so he looks to lightning- maybe she's more familiar with shit like this. ]

Looks like we're here. Whatever "here" is.

[ She walks up to the panel and dusts off the dashboard she sees in front of her. A frown mars her features as she tries to figure out what all this could be. ]

Seems like some sort of control room.

Well....

[ you know what's going to happen next. ]

We didn't come all this way to stare at it. Touch it.

[ Responds with a sharp glare. ]

Don't be such a kid. We don't know what it's for.

We didn't know what any of that other stuff was for, either.

[ c'moooooonnnnnn ]

[ No, she's not gonna fall for this childish goading. Sighs. All of this was a mistake. ]

We should head back. There's nothing here but junk. [ Which it all looks like junk. Plus, Lightning has a baaaaaaad feeling about touching the console any further. ]

[ he shakes his head and shrugs. ]

Fine, do what you want.

[ he didn't come this far so that he could back out, though. what if that console was the key to why they were all here? maybe everyone else was content to sit around and play school, but he's going to get the hell out of this creepy school with their creepy faculty and their time-kidnapping shit. ]

[ She's not moving, though, having another feeling that he was going to stay and try to touch the damn thing. ]

Come on.

Nah uh, sorry.

[ mexican standoff ]

What makes you think they're trying to hide the cause of our appearances here? Kidnapping us is one thing; sheltering us is another.

[ There is the possibility that the Garden could be lying to them, what with this big secret here, but Lightning saw from the majority of staff and crew that the reason for their appearance is just as confusing to them as it was for the newcomers. ]

What makes you think they aren't?

[ Crosses her arms. ]

I haven't seen anything - aside from this place - that makes me think they are.

[ he might be backin up to the console a lil bit ]

Innocent until proven guilty, huh? I don't really subscribe to that.

[ She's narrowing her eyes at him, but her hands raise up her Blazefire Saber. ]

Right. And you're the type to immediately jump to conclusions at face value. [ Sort of like how she was, but... ]
