To all cadets going on the Heaven mission, and any SeeDs helping out on it:

I'd like a role call in order to assess team lineup. For cadets we seem to have more healing specialists than previously believed. I know at least three have spoken up, and I know of at least one GF specialist. [That's not even an official thing, but fight him, he's hoping that other cadets will step forward to brag about their own GF skills.] However most of our straight forward fighters seem to have either graduated or they're holding their tongues, so I'd like to see who else qualifies in that respect. Likewise paramagic or anything else, thank you.

On a purely conversational note, have any of you done anything like this before or do you all come from worlds more peaceful than this?

Thanks for your time and attention,
Marco ID #52133
SeeD Rank 9

[Truthfully Marco is aware of those who have declared their specialties, however, he knows a lot of the kids haven't declared it yet, and more importantly, he's hoping to get them excited about the prospect and eager to prove and establish themselves rather than just be afraid.]

[For anyone looking for him, Marco will generally be outside around the Quad whistling to some birds, but he also discreetly patrols the Training Center hoping that a bunch of the kids will try to get in some last minute training, and this way he can keep an eye on them so they don't burn out. And for his own peace of mind, he's busy practicing free falls and backflips. It's been a long time since he fought something he would consider truly challenging, and if anything, he knows he needs to practice his own restraint. It's the kids' chance to fight, he's just going to be flying in and taking out anyone too close to dying. Feel free to catch him singing with the birds or while doing a few backflips, he wouldn't mind some company at all.]

I'll be participating, of course. Either with para-magic, fighting, or a combination of both.

As for your question, I haven't done something like this before, but I've had extensive training. Hopefully that, the schooling, and missions will allow me to use those skills I earned.

Okay, you can help me create a perimeter. We'll talk in person about it later, but I've got some plans in mind.

[eggplantallergy]

Oh? I'd be very interested in what you have planned. Should we convene somewhere?

[fierybluebird]

Absolutely. Quad or Training Center good? Or we can get food if you're hungry.

[eggplantallergy]

You know, I am hungry.

[fierybluebird]

For anything in particular or just in general?

[eggplantallergy]

How about some pizza? I don't think I've had non-cafeteria pizza in quite a while.

[fierybluebird]

Pizza. Aye! Sounds like a plan, eh.

But I'm flying. No cars or vehicles whatsoever. You ever been chocobo riding? It's like that, but in the air.

[eggplantallergy]

Absolutely not unless you can guarantee that I won't fall.

I've been on a chocobo. It was not pleasant. I wouldn't expect either of us to drive, considering our history in cars.

[fierybluebird]

So long as you don't do anything stupid like stand up or try to jump, you won't fall.

[eggplantallergy]

Why would I?!

[fierybluebird]

You'd be amazed what some people do when they're excited about flying.

I guess we could walk if we're docked close enough.

[fierybluebird]

Are we?

[Yeah. He... doesn't... even know... >>;]

[eggplantallergy]

I...think so?

[Gakupo is clueless, too.]

[fierybluebird]

Okay we can try walking then.

Unless we're in the air.

[eggplantallergy]

Maybe one of us should look out the window?

[fierybluebird]

Okay, you do it.

[This really shouldn't amuse Marco as much as it is.]

[eggplantallergy]

Fine. [Ugh ugh. Walking to the window. Nope, not in the air.].

[eggplantallergy]

We're grounded.

[fierybluebird]

So do you know where?

[eggplantallergy]

You just said to look out the window to see if we were airborne. You never said to see where we are!

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs.]

Don't worry, if we can't find pizza, we can pester the locals into getting us something good anyway, let's go.

[eggplantallergy]

I'll meet you at the entrance, then.

[Gakupo gathers his things and drops them off at his room. He'll do his best to not be too late!]

[fierybluebird]

[Wanders over soon enough. He's bored and a little tense, he's going to have to do backflips later he can already tell.]

Yo.

[eggplantallergy]

Ossu! Ready to see how far we can go?
