Abel writhed in his sleep, a horrible yet indistinct dream torubling his mind. Something terrible, a lab? Syringes? A group of men clad in white staring at him, whispering exitedly?

He woke up, siting bolt upright in an unfamiliar bed. Someone had removed all his clothing from the waist up; they were hung on a dresser nearby. A door to the far side of the room opened, and Abel could see and hear that the swaying of the room wasn't caused by drowsiness. He was on a ship, travelling on the open sea. Someone, assumedly a doctor, walked through the door, and was suprised yet pleased to see his charge awake. "Thank Hyne, I was worried you wouldn't wake up Abel."

Abel narrowed his eyes. "How do you know my name? Who are you for that matter, where am I, and where are you taking me?" The doctor held out his hands, palms facing forwards. "Slow down son! Rinoa told us your name. You're safe; this is a White SeeD ship. You collapsed at Centra and we were told to look after you. The question's kind of rdundant now, but wer're heading for Dollet. Is that okay with you?"

Abel put his hand to his head and groaned a little. "I guess. I was done at Centra anyway, and I was wondering where to go next. Thanks for all your help, whatever it was."

The doctor smiled. "I was only doing my duty. Whatever it was you were doing, you should cut back; the only condition I could diagnose was exhaustion, although you show some signs of mental trauma. Unfortunately, psychology isn't my forte. But take it easy for a while, okay?" Abel nodded, perhaps he was pushing himself too hard, in many ways. "Anyway, we'll be docking soon, so you'd best get prepared."

Rinoa walked out of the hotel.She had caught a train in Balamb and rode it to Timber.She had gotten in late so she had stayed at the night.She had heard of what had happened to the bar.She was still wondering what had happened.Oh well.She tossed her hair and looked up.She sighed and walked twords the train station.This Heira that she'd heard of was now the Galbadia preisident.She had Galbadia Garden on her side too.That means SeeDs.If they're trained like I think, then they could kill without a second thought.
Rinoa walked up to the ticket counter."One, please."She said.The ticket master gave her the ticket and she boarded the train.She sat down next to an old woman as the train began to leave the station.I hate whats happened to the trains.There's just no privacy any more.She relaxed and sat back.It was going to be a long trip to Esthar.She looked at the old woman."Why hello little lady.Why did you know that when I was young...."Rinoa smiled and tuned her out.She stared out the window, hoping that she was doing the right thing...

Elektra opened the manhole cover, the light from the new opening, flooding her eyes. She covered her eyes for a minute, before looking out. Once she did, she saw what appeared to be a train station. After closer inspection, the train station was in the middle of nowhere. Mountains surrounded the area.

"Where am I?" she thought to herself. "Out of Timber?!? That was one hell of a tunnel!" Elektra lifted herself out of the manhole, most of her strength depleted from the long trek in the sewer.

Only a few people were at the train station. A couple sat on the bench, holding hands and talking, while a porter stood at the station. A ticket salesman behind a booth, reading a book, and a man selling hot dogs. Rather empty. No one looked at Elektra, even though she smelt awful and was covered in sewage and god knows what.

She did, however, notice a small diner to the left of the station. She ran over to the diner. A sign on the front door said "OPEN". She entered. Once inside, she found the diner to be empty except for an old man eating breakfast and reading the newspaper, an old waitress, and a cook in the back.

Elektra walked to the waitress, looking somewhat embarassed. The waitress, an old hag with gray hair with pink highlights and her skin wrinkly, stood at the entrance, chewing away at her gum and reading a tabloid. When she noticed Elektra, she stopped chewing and looked at Elektra in disgust.

"Phhh! Like you're better, bitch. Pink!?! I don't think so..." she thought to herself, almost laughing.

"Ummmm... Can I help you, Missy?" the waitress asked, resuming her annoying gum chewing. Elektra nodded.

"Yeah... Do you have a shower in here?" Elektra asked. The waitress nodded and pointed to the very back.

"In the employee's restroom." she replied. "Looks like you'll need a whole lot of soap there, girl. What'd ya do? Swim in the sewer?" she started to laugh, putting her hands, with 3 inch long purple nail polish, up to her mouth.

"Thanks..." Elektra said, walking off to the restroom. After she was out of the waitress' sight, she gave her the finger.

"Whore..."

Elektra entered the employee's restroom and locked the door. It was a dump. The walls were moldy and green. The sink was rusty. The shower was an open shower, with a rusty shower head and slime on the walls. The mirror was cracked, distorting Elektra's vision. After seeing herself in the mirror, she noticed that her clothes were a mess as well.

"Damn... I need some new clothes. she thought to herself. After a minute of thinking, she left the bathroom and went back to the waitress, who was still clacking away at her gum. The waitress looked at her in disgust and pity, again.

"Didn't you clean up?" the waitress asked. Elektra shook her head and explained her situation.

"Do you have any spare clothes?" she asked. The waitress nodded and told her to wait there. She went out back, to her car, and brought back a shopping bag.

"You can have these. I bought them but they don't fit." the waitress said, thrusting the bag into Elektra's hand. "Now go clean yourself up."

Elektra took the bag and headed back to the bathroom and locked the door, again. She opened the bag. Inside was a small, tight T-Shirt that had "Foxy" in flaming words.

"Nice... Geez, what kinda lunatic?"

Also, a tight, plaid, miniskirt was inside, with a blue bra and thong, and stocking socks.

"Holy shit! She is a crazy bitch!"

Elektra layed the clothes out and undressed. She entered the shower and turned on the rusty shower. The water took a moment to start, but after a second, sprayed out slightly brown water. She stood under the water for over twenty minutes, scrubbing the filth out of her hair, and cleaning it off of her body. She used two whole bars of soap. After about a half hour, she turned the water off and dryed off. She then dressed in the horrible clothes. The shirt was itchy and tight, the miniskirt was very small, and the thong was extremely tight.

"Freak..." Elektra thought, after looking at her horrible attire. She put her clothes in the bag and left the bathroom. She looked like a teenager who didn't know how to dress herself.

She thanked the woman on her way out, and also noticed the man's newspaper, which had a headline of "WOMAN BURNS DOWN BAR. FOUR KILLED. WOMAN AT LARGE." Elektra left with a smirk.

Outside, she bought a hot dog and scarffed it. She was hungry. She then bought a ticket for Dollet at 10:00 a.m. It was 8:45 a.m. She sat on the bench and ate another hot dog, waiting for her train. At ten, she boarded the train, heading towards Dollet, towards Tanith...

(OOC: Yeah, long, huh? Well, don't worry, she'll get to Esthar soon.)

Lestat · 12-21-2005, 12:11 PM

Abel hopped out of the White SeeD ship, a weird idiosyncrasy prompting him to jump over the side rather than using the walkway. The SeeDs were unloading some cargo, and paid him little attention. The doctor was standing outside Abel's cabin, and he called out. "Ease up a little, okay? For my piece of mind."

Abel nodded, and turned towards the town. Taking it easy... that was hard when people saw he was a warrior. He pulled his long, thin, white overcoat closed, just loose enough so that his sword couldn't be seen bulging out under it.

So this was Dollet. The place had a certain charm to it, but it was a little too homely. Abel could see how other people could grow to love it. If Squall hadn't taken his exam on that fateful day, there was no telling what Galbadia could have done to this quaint little town. Images pierced Abel's wandering mind of people shutting themselves in after dark, police brutality, and hookers on the cobbled street corners. He shuddered, tried to put such dismal thoughts out of his mind.

The food the White SeeDs had given him had filled a hole a few hours earlier, but it must have been an emergency ration, as he was getting hungry again. He bought a hotdog from a street vendor, and stopped to listen to the vendor chatting with his next customer.

"Didya hear the news? Some crazy bitch torched a bar in Timber. She's still at large."

"Geez, I dunno what the world's coming to. But even so, what can we do about it? I'll bet those SeeD guys'll sort her out soon enough, and it'll serve her right."

Abel laughed inwardly. Yeah right. No government would go to the trouble of hiring mercenaries to take out what they would classify as 'One little girl'. They'd cling to their foolish pride, and chances were they'd throw countless men down to hell before they realised how dangerous she really was. Abel knew how stubborn people could be.

Come to think of it, I might be able to help 'em out... But she probably has her own reasons, and the media probably put a hell of a lot of spin on it, could have been an accident, and she just happened to be there and looked risky. he thought as he found himself close to the train station.

Hoisting himself onto the wall, he watched the passengers getting off. A lot of people complained that there was no privacy on the trains. Abel saw that as a sign that a lot of people had things to hide. It was a good way for people to integrate themselves into a wider community; not that Abel wanted to join that communtity of course. He was always a bit of a hypocrite in that respect.

He was jolted out of his own thoughts as he noticed one particular passenger getting off. She was a weird lokking one, transparantly beautiful, but it seemed she didn't have the sense of style to go with it. A man walked past with a newspaper, and Abel's eyes widened as he saw the photo on the front, depicting the disaster in Timber. The picture was indidstinct, but he was sure it was the same girl he had just seen.

Well, what was the harm in at least finding out the truth? Abel pushed himself off the wall, established what he hoped was an inconspicuous distance from the girl, and started to follow her.

Red XIV · 12-21-2005, 01:58 PM

Elektra hurried off the train, with the rest of the grumbling passengers. On board the train, she had to sit with a fat man who reeked of alcohol and had a suitcase full of Twinkies. The man flirted with Elektra before she slapped him in the face and kicked him in the groin and threw him out of the cabin. She had caused quite a commotion. Also, the food service on the train was terrible, feeding the passengers some old bread and a bowl of "soup". Plus the cabin's were filthy, covered in graffiti, gum on the walls, holes in the seats, etc. The passengers all complained.

Elektra rushed away from the train, off to find a hotel. She needed to wash her clothes and change. Plus, she needed to find Tanith. She stopped at a sign, at the exit of the train station. It had a map of Dollet. The hotel was in the town square.

Elektra, after checking the map for the route, headed off to the Hotel. After a ten minute walk, she found the Hotel, in the town square, where a fountain shot water into the air. An old man, with his grandson, and dog, stood outside the Hotel, working on a painting of the fountain. The dog sat with the boy, sleeping. A couple stood in front of the fountain, kissing and holding hands, while a shopkeeper was hanging a new sign.

"Heh... Nice town, eh? You wouldn't have expected a big battle to have been fought in this dump..." Elektra thought to herself, with a slight laugh, as she entered the Hotel.

The Hotel was very nice, with a chandelier, marble staircase, exotic plants, and a bar with a band playing.

"Whoa... This place is top-notch!" she thought to herself, people in the hotel giving her odd looks, because of her "wardrobe malfunction". "Can I afford this?"

She walked up to the desk. The receptionist, a young woman with red hair, horn-rimmed glasses, and long red nails, sat, typing on her computer.

"Excuse me... Can I have a room?" Elektra asked. The woman looked up. She looked over Elektra twice before answering.

"Uh... Uh... Are you lost? This is the Duke Hotel!" the receptionist told her, still looking at Elektra oddly.

"Just tell me how much it costs for a room!" Elektra said, angrily. The receptionist, now frightened of the strange woman, went to her computer.

"That would be..." she typed on the computer. "500 gil." Elektra opened her bag and rummaged in her pant pockets. She found her wallet. She pulled it out and opened it. A few Gil pieces fell out. Elektra counted them. 100...200...300...400...500...597 gil.

"Whew!" she thought, with a look of relief on her face. "I can afford it."

Elektra handed the woman the gil.

"Can I have some ID?" the woman asked. Elektra looked stunned.

"Shit..." she thought. "I bet everyone is on my tail..."

The receptionist held out her hand, with a look of impatience on her face.

"ID please!" she said, angrily.

"Ummm... I... I..." Elektra studdered. From behind, she heard a man walk up to her.

"Excuse me..." the man said.

Donnington · 12-22-2005, 01:08 PM

Crowe lay on a soft bed at in the Homely Esthar Hotel. The room was small and uncomfortable, no one spoke to him much here and a sense of dread was coming over him like a fever.
"Yup, real homely"

Click, Crowe switched on the television.
A small man in a dull grey suit sat behind a desk facing the camera.
"Our top story today is the irregular movements of creatures on the moon." He shuffled his papers.
"Scientists are baffeled as to why the creatures are acting this way. President Kiros has ordered the luanch of the new spaceship 'Valkyrie'." He layed his papers down on the desk.
"We'll have more on this story as it develops."

Crowe rolled over, switched off the TV, dropped the romote to the ground and drifted into an uncomfortable sleep.

Squall let out a sigh as he entered the ragnarok and thought to him self
"Shes dead.... Edea's dead....."

A sole tear fell from his right eye as blinked and he couldent help but think about his friends who he missed dearly. He thought of Irvine Zell .... Selphie and Seifer he hadent seen them in a while for they had been on a mission for a long time... They had been investigating odd behavior of creatures on the moon from Esther.
Squall devloped the sudden urdge to go and assist selphie and Seifer in their investagations and besides he had to go and speak with President Kiros about the new spaceahip Valkrie he had been working on to launch Selphie and seifer in to space to further investigate the creatures.The fact of the matter was that the creatures acting strange on the moon was very intresting and frightening to kiros and he let squall know that there was something serous going on. Squall truely didnt want to worry Rinoa and telling her of his and kiros's worries so he hid this from he had been hiding this from her for a month now.

Squall had told Rinoa that he was on his way to blamb to protect her, he didnt want he to know he had a secret meeting with Kiros reguarding the the Lunar cry 8 years ago and the current situation on the moon. As he pressed the accelorator the ragnarock sped off at tramendous speed to the west... To Ester....

Squall felt much sadness and pain at the loss of Edea, but he had to put it behind him. There was something happening something big and it was not good. the Ragnarock sped off at 288mph, and Squall knew that when he would arrive at Esther he would hear bad news and he knew that he would once again have to take up the LionHeart and defend his world once again.

Lestat · 12-23-2005, 02:40 AM

Abel followed the girl for about ten minutes. She seemed to be in quite a hurry. Perhaps she really did do what the papers said, and she didn't want to be spotted.

It was suprising then, when she turned into a hotel, from the outside at least it looked pretty expensive, not the place for someone dressed like... well, like that. Surely she would never get a room. But then again, would the staff be able to stop her?

If they couldn't, they could have yet another bloodbath on their hands, and that was the last thing Abel wanted to see, especially since he was a warrior, and would fall under suspicion. Maybe he could step in and prevent things from happening.

Once again, where was the harm in it? He walked through the impressive oak doors, into the lobby. There she was, and the receptionist looked pretty angry. There was a small crowd watching the scene from afar. The receptionist held out her hand. "ID please."

The girl hesitated for a minute. Abel sighed. He couldn't believe what he was about to do; he hated interaction, especially with people he didn't know. But he had to find out who she was, and to do that they would need somewhere quiet.

He walked up to the counter. "Excuse me..."

"WHAT?! Can't you see I'm busy sir?!" this receptionist was in quite a flutter. Abel forced a small smile and reaced into his pocket for an ID.

"I'm very sorry. My... sister... can be a little brash sometimes." The girl looked at him. Did she look shocked or enraged? Abel couldn't tell. "Please give us two rooms. I'll take full responsibility."

The receptionist studied the ID carefully. No need really, it was perfectly valid. She looked between the two standing in front of her suspiciously, but eventually bowed her head and called the bell girl over. Abel looked over at the girl, and forced yet more uncharacteristic acting. "Uh... Well then sis, let's get you into a hot bath, then we can find something better for you to wear, okay?" That was treading on thin ice, and he hoped he wasn't insulting her fashion sense. He took hold of her arm tentatively and turned her to face the stairs.

Joe · 12-23-2005, 04:03 AM

Dyran would never talk about his past so I just gave up till he is ready.
