[quote=Penultimate_Pi] That unsure feeling Sazh had continued to flare up listening to the creature's words. So everyone that was here had been here, for who knows how long. And it wasn't just them; there were other Challengers, too. But they had all died, or otherwise failed the challenges. None of that was at all particularly reassuring to the l'Cie and his experience with gods. Who was to say that this time would not be different, and that the Viewer was just being insincere?The mage with the glasses suddenly popped his head out of a higher window and invited the red creature inside to elaborate further. Apparently getting inside the hotel was an honor, to the whooping lizard-thing. Sazh had the same idea as Saber: as tempting as it was to learn further of this world, they all set out here to do missions, and missions was what Sazh was going to do.As the pilot looked back to the snowy forest they had come from, Sazh caught sight of a burning streak across the sky, amidst a flurry of fireworks. The blaze flew down sharply before crashing down... somewhere in the forest. A handful of moments later, and there was a dim, but wild stream of lights emitting from around that same area.Then it hit him: Wasn't that spot at least very close to where they had come from?"Uh... hey, fellas," Sazh spoke up nervously, "I think we might be getting some commotion back in that copse." He was motioning for nobody in particular to follow, while sidling forward to strain out what might've been various shouts coming from the forest. [/quote] His time to take in information was cut short by the shear volume of it all. So this world knows who we are and at least someone respects us, he thought quietly. There must be some reason for them all being here though, perhaps I am being too hasty in my judgements. Suddenly fire came blazing in the distances and his other group member yelled and took off. He was following Sazh best he could, when they managed to arrive the sight was quite something to behold. The rather annoying girl had actually . . . well it had seemed as though she fused with some sort of machine, water was pouring from an area around a large animal of some sort, and one of the ones who went to the top of the tower was currently steaming and continuing to blaze with some sort of magic. This was going to get complicated fast. He looked around to see if maybe perhaps something had provoked the attack and he was only met with more newcomers. Annoyed and slightly angry that he had taken as much effort to arrive for virtually no reason he 'yelled' to the growing group of people "Just what the hell are you all doing?" though on second thought the same could probably be asked at any point in the group of people,that seemed to never stop expanding "Perhaps you should 'calm' the situation'" addressing Sazh "I think perhaps I lack the experience to well do much in this circumstance." Really though it had simply occurred to him that he should not yell obscenities to a bunch of fire/water/odd music making machine wielding group of aggravated people.
