Testing testing. 

1, 2, 3. 

Is this thing on?

Make a sound if you can hear me. 

Haha, let's kick things off shall we. Name's Rei, Hiwatari Rei. Surname before the given, y'know, the proper order. We're about to embark upon a journey in which wonderful me will serve as the eyes and the ears. I mean you could just follow Cyare's perspective, but I think you'll find mine a lot more fun. 

So where does story begin you ask?

Cyare and I had arrived in the wonderful city of Crocus where the Grand Magic Games were being held. I have to tell you, I really love cities. Like I've been trying to explain to Cyare. "[color=#E34234]Cities have that human energy to them. There really isn't anything like it. That hustle and bustle, the ever persistent movement screams of the human desire for progress. The desire to speed ahead. Kid, human cities are like the heartbeat of society, the bustle proves that we're alive.[/color]"

Of course the kid was totally ignoring me. Dork had a habit of doing that, but hey I didn't travel with her because she was a natural foil for my wonderful conversations. I traveled with her 'cause it was kind of amusing watching the kid parade around with her whole defender of justice schtick. It's like watching a dog chase after a car, y'know the dog can't catch it and even if it did what would be the point, but damn, you just kind of end up rooting for the dog. Well unless you were in the car, in which case screw the damn dog it was making a racket. 

Where was I?

Right, cities.

"[color=#E34234]And I mean they also have the added bonus of being filled with punks, some of which are bratty enough to pick a fight with others. That's always entertaining,[/color]" I sighed, Cyare still wasn't paying attention, too busy trying to find a job board. "[color=#E34234]Have you tried the center of town dimwit, that's generally where job boards are posted. I swear you're helpless without me. And stop looking so bored, have you even seen the Grand Magic Games before?[/color]"

I swear, absolutely helpless and clueless without me.
