[When the video turns on, there sitting in the chair is a tanned, black haired, wild looking woman, with a glass of something in her hands. She's drumming her fingers against her arm from where it's crossed, a huge tribal tattoo decorating the arm. She certainly doesn't look happy to be here, but oddly enough, not that freaked out.

When she starts talking, her voice is quite distinctly Australian, but if you asked her where she was from, she'd certainly not reference 'Down Under'. The voice is also a little husky, harshened by the fact she's exhausted and had a drink to help quell her anxiety. Not that she'd ever admit to it.]

Seems like this place is fulla lost people, but not the people I'm lookin' for. [she pauses, taking a long drink from a glass she's holding. She seems strained, like she's frustrated it's have to even come to this, to stretching out and asking for help, and she's hesitant to start.]

Lady Luck is not shining on me today. [she gives a wry laugh, and takes another swig from her drink.]

Listen, I don't remember if I was here last time--I don't remember anything that happened last time--but if anyone remembers me, contact me as soon as you can. Especially you, Vanille. [She's secretly hoping that Vanille is the only one who answers. She doesn't know what she'd do if anyone else she knew did. Her sacrifice would have been for nought. They could be dust in the wind for all she knew.]

'Till then, somebody recommend a good bar. If I'm gonna be stuck here, I might as well enjoy myself and right about now, I really need to punch something.

Hey, if you're looking for a good fight, I bet I can oblige.

[Someone else has a little aggression to work out, too.]

The good bars' are over in Fire and Metal. Just follow the sobering alcoholics.

And here I am stuck in Earth. What's a girl to do.

I'd rather go for a drink, actually. I haven't tried it, but I think there's a passable bar in the fire sector?

[She walked past it a couple of days ago, but didn't go in. It didn't look terrible, and Dinah's always open to try new eating places.]

video

[tearsdownthesky]

[She raises an eyebrow, and smirks a bit.]

Well, drinking can lead to punching, so I'm really good for either.

[hugmagnet]

Welcome to the "everyone's here but the people I actually want to see" club. [Have a lazy wave, Fang. Carol is very used to the whole "none of my friends are here" thing]

As far as bars go, I know there's one in the Fire Sector. I live there so I see it every day. Can't really say how good it is, though.

[tearsdownthesky]

Not a great club so far, lemme tell you. [Fang heaves a sigh, and eyes Carol.]

I'm obviously in the wrong sector.

[It occurs to Dorian that this must be the first Australian he has seen here. Little does he know.]

The bars haven't been at their best ever since the rationing started, but [look, it's the name of a bar] has good alcohol and good brawls.

video

[tearsdownthesky]

[She wouldn't know what an Australian was haha.]

Rationing? How is there rationing in a place like this?

[chiot]

I can tell you, huh? This Vanille.

I mean, it'll cost ya.

[tearsdownthesky]

[She pauses a good few seconds, eying the child. She doesn't believe him, but decides to play along.]

How much?

video

[shootingshields]

There are plenty of bars. Fire has the best, overall. Though the alcohol here is much more potent than you might be used to, as a warning, and there's been rationing in effect.

video

[tearsdownthesky]

The more potent the better. [She rubs her head.] I'm not really in the mood for remembering much of tonight.

You know Lady Luck??

[ Jack just about bounces through his screen, guess who is a spirit where he's from. ]

[tearsdownthesky]

[She's a bit startled at how excited he is about her mentioning something so throw away, especially since every one of her party save for Vanille didn't believe her. So she frowns.]

Of course I do.

[cynisme]

There was a good tavern in the fire district last I checked but I hadn't the money for a stiff drink for quite some time, so thank you for reminding me.

[ sarcasm from the bum on the other side of the screen. ]

video

[tearsdownthesky]

[She arches an eyebrow.]

And how exactly is your money situation any of my concern?

[cowled]

I wasn't aware 'bars' and 'punching things' were mutually exclusive.

[tearsdownthesky]

You've been going to the wrong places then. Nothing better than a good drink and a bloody lip.

video;

[jirk]

I know a great place.

[He points at her directly, with a broad smile.]

That said, it's kind of hard to get to. I'd need to escort you. Well, that and it's in a terrible neighborhood, and I could use the protection.

[Said as if Jim Kirk can't take care of himself, gosh.]

video;

[tearsdownthesky]

[She raises an eyebrow, the hint of a smirk showing.]

And what if I don't want the company of someone who can't defend themselves, huh? [she's mostly joking. But she had intended on drinking alone tonight until she could find a fight. But she's tired and just wants a drink, and if someone can take her without getting lost then she doesn't care.

She eyes him for a moment and then sighs.] I can see why you'd need me. Wouldn't want to ruin that pretty face.

video

[refusing]

I was gonna say that I know somebody who might be able to help you with finding a place, but looks like he's already gotten to you. [Oh, that Jim Kirk. How completely unsurprising it is that he made it here first.]

What do you mean by last time, though? If you were here before, wouldn't you remember it?

video

[tearsdownthesky]

This place. It's a place between life and death? [she tsks at herself.] My 'eternal life' or salvation, or whatever the fal'Cie wanna call it. Either way, this isn't the first focus I've had, and I don't remember the last one.

[Yup, she's just assuming everyone here is l'Cie, frozen in crystal. Even if the legends never said anything of such a place.]
