☇015 - Video/Action for Ecruteak City, just outside the Tower

[solidbarrels]

[ For the first time in weeks days, Squall finally appears on the network. Head tilted toward the sky, his brows furrows at the sight of snow intermingled with the hard rain. He's soaked, drenched and without a jacket. ]

Damn, thought I heard...

[ His head jerks at the sound of more thunder and a flash of lightning. Immediately he searches for

[She doesn't particularly like the terrible weather, but the network feed was a bit troublesome. And so Adlheid has ventured out into the rain with her Murkrow perched upon her shoulder.]

You shouldn't be outside in this...

Suzuki.

[ Squall turns and nods. His eyes flicker toward the bird on her shoulder but he doesn't say anything. ]

[Adelheid nods and Cozart flaps his wings and crows softly, knowing that his master will probably silence him if he gets too loud.]

You are going to get sick if you stay out here...

[solidbarrels]

It's not that bad.

[ He shrugs again, watching the mix of rain and snow. It almost reminds him... of Shiva and once again he's thinking about that weird dream he had so many days ago. Sighing, he shakes his head and watches the bird on Suzuki's shoulder closely ]

You have a new one already?

You shouldn't go around that tower during a storm. We wouldn't want you to reenact the legend associated to it.

Oh, and a certain Miss Trepe was looking for you.

[Funnily enough, Cecil is also outside. And the road behind him sure as hell doesn't look like Ecruteak.]

...Trepe?

[ Trepe... It can't be. Someone he actually knows... Is in this world, too? Someone from his own world? It's not like he didn't think it was possible but... he never really thought... ]

You're talking about Quistis. Quistis Trepe. Aren't you?

...What legend?

That's the one. A nice young lady with a ponytail. She was nearing Violet, last I heard.

"Years and years ago, there were two towers in Ecruteak. But one day, the western tower was hit by lightning and burned until the rain extinguished it, killing three Pokémon. So a rainbow-colored Pokémon descended from the eastern tower and revived the three, before leaving for lands unknown." That's the gist of it. The part about the lightning strike is particularly relevant in this case.

Wears peach color clothes, blond hair. She probably wouldn't have her whip... (Just like I don't have Revolver.) She already traveled that far...?

[ Damn it, now he's feeling guilty about not checking his 'gear that often. Not that he could, considering what he's been doing ever since he figured out he lost three whole days. ]

Hn. It's not like I'm sparring right now. There's nothing to worry about.

Were you looking for something?

[Normally Aerith would have yelled at Squall and whatnot, but she is pretty sure a lot of people will do that, so she'll just ask striaght up. Plus, she was too tired to get into an arguement and too tired to worry, so she will just not talk as much today.]

[solidbarrels]

...Something like that.

[ He rakes a hand through his drenched hair, shrugging his shoulder. ]

Would've found something by now. (It's been... weeks since they told us three days had passed.)

[radiantxsmile]

Hmmm, I see.

[She will silently watch Squall almost like she was trying to figure out what he was thinking about. A baby Eevee with a red ribbon around her neck will appear on the screen with a curious look.]

Vee?

["Mister, why do you look exactly like my Naptime Lap? Are you comfy like he is?" Aerith will pet the Eevee and gently push her away from the screen.]

Maria, sit down. Mama is talking to Uncle Squall now. Somehow it sounds like you were expecting to find something over there. I wonder what you were looking for, hm? Care to share a little more about it?

[She is silently hoping you do not tease her about the "Uncle Squall" bit like Leon kinda did.]

[solidbarrels]

It's nothing. Don't worry about it.

Like I said, if there was something to be found. (I would have found it.)

[ And he checked everywhere. Literally everywhere in that tower. Not bothering to rest or relax one bit while he went on a wild goose chase for... something he wasn't even sure really exists.

[ Something Aerith mutters has Squall staring not at the Eevee on his screen but directly at the owner. Yeah, he's raising an eyebrow at you, Missy. ]

...Uncle Squall?

[machiavellisms]

A wise person would not go out in a storm.

[solidbarrels]

It wouldn't be the first time.

[ Probably wouldn't be his last, either. ]

[pluckycharm]

Hey, aren't you cold like that??

video;

[solidbarrels]

Not that much.

[ He's more concerned about his Cyndaquil faring than himself, but that's only because the mouse couldn't handle his tireless search of the tower anymore--even when inside its ball. ]

[pluckycharm]

[ Kairi seems a little concerned, but also curious-- because this guy looks sort of familiar. Like--

... Oh wait. ]

You're the other Leon, right?

[solidbarrels]

The name's Squall.
