As if the day could not get any more weird. There was some sort of... beaver-like thing making a huge wave of water, a teenage-looking figure with an intricate sword (who looked VERY confused), the flaming girl from earlier standing a little over a complaining maiden, some sort of old martial artist who was desperately trying to shrug away from a cat (who itself was being nudged aside by some bipedal cow), and to top it off, that cynical girl from earlier was flying in some sort of costume with jets and cannons over her shoulders and WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON!?

Sazh was snapped out of his stupor by Asphyxious addressing him, suggesting that the l'Cie may be slightly better equipped to handle this kind of thing than the lich was. Over one of the thoughts in the back of his head that wanted to say 'I told you so', Sazh simply nodded hastily and rushed out into the clearing. No time to waste.

"Woah, now, hold up, everybody," Sazh shouted out, waving his arms to obtain attention from the group. "Now let's all just [i]slooow[/i] down, before we end up doing something real nasty. Just... stop what you're doing, and relax. You're gonna wanna hear what I have to say next, alright?" If he could diffuse the situation and get everyone calmed and listening, then that would be as fantastic. Unfortunately, it was as desired to Sazh as much as it was unlikely. Still, nothing was going to change for the better if he didn't at least take a shot.
