So, who all here is into racing?

[simple, direct, to the point. she's smiling as she says it, though. It's about equal parts mischievous and competitive.]

Oh! And for anyone working on or interested in Mr. Kent's newspaper, I'm going to be writing a section on automotives. If anyone has any information on any of the vehicles or mechanics here, I'd love to talk shop. Thanks.

[She gives the camera a little wave, and disconnects.]

Oh? Are you an athlete?

[Never heard of chocobos? Never heard of chocobos.]

Well, they aren't uncommon, I think you just have to know where to look. I work at a garage, and it was a beat-up old loner they used to give to customers. I fixed it up, and worked out a payment plan with my boss.

[You bet she's proud of her bike.]

No--raced with chocobos. [ Given the livestock here though he can guess people have never heard of chocobos though, so he goes on. ] Animals. They're about as big as the kirin that pull the carts, but shaped more like those...scaly chicken. Things. Except they have feathers. [ Articulate. But at least he avoided using his own hair as a visual reference because. No. He's heard that enough back home. ]

Place to look is in the Metal sector, isn't it? It's different from the others.

Oh! Those sound like something back home.

[Avatar World: Actually About As Strange As Final Fantasy As Far As Animals Are Concerned.]

Mm, Metal, and there are a few places in the Fire Sector as well. I could help you look, if you'd like. I've been here for a while.

Are you from Gaia? [ He'd peg her Wutaian if he had to...

He takes a moment to consider the offer, but--he could use the help: ] I'd appreciate it. I've only been here a few days.

No. I'm sorry, is that your home?

[She knows what it's like to be somewhere new without anyone from home, bro. :( Solidarity.]

I'm Asami. Just let me know when you'd like to go, all right?

The Planet. Don't worry about it.

I'm Cloud. Anytime's fine, really. Tomorrow?

Tomorrow would be perfect. Let's meet in the main plaza of the Fire Sector, okay? How will I know who I'm looking for?

[Her entry was in video, but for all she knows she's talking to anyone.]

Ah, right...

[ So he leans forward and switches the audio to video.

Serious-faced guy with spiky blond hair and glowy eyes. Hopefully distinctive enough. ]

The plaza's fine.

[MORE BLONDES omg she is starting to feel like a minority here.]

Around mid-afternoon? I work early in the day, so...

That's fine. I've only got a three-hour workday right now.

[ Going to make it more eventually, but he's not ready to settle into a routine here. He'll do what the kedan ask but he's still poking around outside the city. (...It's a lot of turtle shell.) ]

[ (ooc: By the way do you want to log/quicklog/just assume they did it?) ]

That's perfect. I'll see you there.

[ooc; I'm good with maybe an actionspammy log? /chinhands]

[ THAT AWKWARD TAG where your character is standing around in a plaza full of people hoping they spot the other character

which hopefully they will or man this thread won't go very far

Cloud isn't the biggest fan of Fire sector decor because...who decorates like they want every thing lit aflame, honestly... but it's impressive in its own way and he's figured out by now that the flames are fake, passing his hand through a nearby fire fountain before he turns around and looks for Asami again.

He's the guy with a dark sleeveless turtleneck, zippered boots, and a really big sword. And, you know, the weirdly spiky hair. ]

[It's the hair that catches her attention. Sometimes it seems like most of the foreigners here are blonde-- it's definitely one of those things she's had to get used to. It helps that it's a beautiful colour.

Asami waves to catch his attention.]

Cloud! Over here!

[ He lifts his hand for a few seconds to show he sees her as he starts walking over. He doesn't raise his voice, waiting until he's close enough to speak up. ]

Asami, right? Sorry for the trouble.

It's no trouble at all, I promise. So what would you like to look at first?

[so many options!]

Hmm... Don't think I have near enough to buy anything yet. Who does rentals?

There are a few places that will do a sort of lease to own deal... if you're interested. Come on. This way.

[She reaches to take his arm and lead him away through the crowd.]

Uh--

[ That is a somewhat stiff arm in Asami's grasp, but despite an initial glance at it (his arm has been captured, what do), Cloud doesn't protest. He's never been touchy-feely, but there's always been one friend (at least since he started having those) who'd ignore that and view his personal space as open territory. She's just...friendly. Okay then. Lead away, Asami. ]

Yeah, that sounds good. Though I'm hoping not to be here long enough for ownership.

[ Hmmm. ] How long have you been here?

[SUPER FRIENDLY isn't it terrifying how she grabs onto young men she barely knows and drags them off to places unknown!!]

Longer than anyone, I think. Oh, um. Nearly two months now.

[ TERRIFYING but as long as she doesn't drag him into a dressmaker's he'll probably be okay ]

That's a while. But it sounds like you're keeping your head up. [ He pauses, wondering if that sounds condescending, and goes on to explain: ] With the racing. It's something to enjoy.

[it does, a little. But she's used to that sort of talk, and as far as she can tell he means well, so all it gets is a little bit of a smile.]

You've gotta have something, right? I'm not exactly planning on being here forever, but...

[a bit of a shrug.]

If I'm here that long, I'll probably take up racing myself.

...Then again, maybe not. That means waiting.

[ He might as well admit it, he's weak for a bit of diversion. The bike's supposed to be for exploring the shell more easily, but racing? No reason he can't do that too. ]

Not a fan of waiting?

[Annnd we're back to gentle teasing.]
