“Excellent,” Gallic smiled at Rikku, deciding on using his Persuasion ability, “Now then, do you have other associates to help, or do we have to rely on just your guidance...”



“I agree with Didymus...That Gallic guy gives me a bad vibe,” Samuel frowned, “Something about him...”



“That's right, I'm Ethan Vire,” Ethan said, smiling at Kanna, “The strongest CEO of the lot.”



“Don't worry Colette...All these nice people are working on a way to get us home,” Hammah said, hugging his sister, “I'm sure we'll back soon...”

Engineering

Jimi face palmed, sighing to himself.

“I'm not much of an engineer...That's my brother,” Jimi sighed, looking at what Stark had gathered, “But my dad still taught me some...”

He frowned, “Well, it's obvious you're making some kind of suit...But what for?”



“Thank you!” Aiden said, suddenly hugging Maize, then turned to Riley, “Yay, you're free! I was worried...”

She paused, then darted forward and gave Riley a hug too.

“So, do you have a plan to get us out of this mess Riley?” she wondered.

“... The fact is, we can't stop someone like Gallic anyway. He's not just an aristocrat, he's a company head. Those sorts of guys are the ones who have real pull with the higher up's...”

She shook her head. “... I don't approve, you know. The idea that the head's of industry, and the aristocrats get to call the shots and override career soldiers... it's a ludicrous concept. But it's how things go... all we can do is follow orders.”

Alice frowned a bit.

[…]

Rikku shook her head. “Nope! It's just me, me ME! I don't work with a gang because nobody will take orders from me.”

I wonder why...

[…]

Rica raised an eyebrow.

“... Considering we've got equal stake in the company, you're no stronger or weaker than I am.”

Of course, Rica knew what Ethan was actually talking about... but discussing his feats of strength with a stranger was a bad idea, and Rica enjoyed teasing his friend.

[Engineering]

Stark laughed a bit. He continued working on the strange suit, hammering at the metal.

“It's an old design of mine. The truth is, I never planned to build it out of such raw materials... but in an emergency... the idea is simple; a steam powered suit of armor. Similar to an automaton, but something that a living person could wear.”

He shook his head. “The idea is simple: the steam powers the suit, and enables it to preform superhuman feats... if I had the proper materials, I could even achieve flight. This one won't be able to do that, though. The problem is a source of steam... I'm converting the engine, but will only give me about twenty minutes worth of power once I activate it...”

Stark sighed. The power source was always what held his idea back.

“... The fact is, we can't stop someone like Gallic anyway. He's not just an aristocrat, he's a company head. Those sorts of guys are the ones who have real pull with the higher up's...”


"We can't? Don't we...well,, perhaps not, but if he was doing something wrong, we may have the obligation to regardless of ability..." he chuckled.

“... I don't approve, you know. The idea that the head's of industry, and the aristocrats get to call the shots and override career soldiers... it's a ludicrous concept. But it's how things go... all we can do is follow orders.”


Didymus paused.

"...Malvin, I..." he chuckled. "...yeah, there does seem to be a problem in there somewhere, doesn't there? I...I don't know if this is the best time or place to discuss this, but if nothing else, if we survive this, it would be my pleasure to sit down and discuss civics and politics with you to your heart's content...but I must warn you, you may not like some of what I have to say..."

Asking an aristocrat out? ...perhaps not quite, but this is still bold by my standards. In a lot of ways.

Crashed Airship

Kanna grinned, moving forward towards both men "Oooh, two CEOs....Very interesting. I would love to talk business with you both if we ever get out of this disgusting sandbox....I'm sure you guys can help with that though-

"Gaaaaaah Kanna stop flirting with guys, it's so gross"

Kanna rolled her eyes, turning and looking at Jason who was now rushing up. He had a few cuts from the crash but seemed unharmed.....That didn't changed the pissed expression on his face though....He still needed to find Melanie and didn't have time to pull his mother off of random business associates.

Jason eyed Ethan and Rica.

"This is my son, say hello Jason"

Jason glared forward "Stop looking at Kanna like that"

[...]

Colette didn't like having to depend on others to get them out of trouble...Unless that 'other' was one of her brothers.

"You can do it can't you? All by yourself! I know you can!"

"A desert? With bandits?" Shimera inquired. She didn't sound scared one bit. She sounded more curious.

She was in a crashed airship in a desert full of robbers and thieves. You know what that means?

ADVENTURE.

Her eyes soon lit up. "Ooooh, we're on an adventure! This will be fun!" she exclaimed.


Avenger's Abode

KxS was reading the book she got from the library. She adjusted her glasses as she got to the most exciting part...

"I don't like the way he was looking at you, KxS," Avenger stated randomly. Before that statement, the small house was quiet.

"Hm?" KxS looked up from her book. "Oh, that...um, Nevex guy?"

"Yeah. I doubt his intentions or for our 'well being'. I think they're more for him."

Avenger's student shrugged. "You never know, 'Vengy."

"That's right, you never know," he told KxS fatherly.

And just like a teenage girl to a complainy dad, she rolled her eyes.

Rica blinked as Jason appeared and instantly put an end to the flirting that was going on. He frowned a bit, but quickly bowed to the boy.

“Very nice to meet you Jason. I'm not sure how I was looking at Kanna to displease you, but you have my apologies.”

Rica chuckled a bit, and then looked to Kanna. “Why don't we arrange a meeting once we all get back home?”

Jason narrowed his eyes "You looking at her in any way displeases me..." he said, used to the strange assortment of suitors his mother faced on a weekly basis...Usually he just glared at them until Kanna got tired of them and punched them in the man-parts...

Which is why it was trouble when she was responding to their creeperness! He haaaaaated when his mother flirted...It was icky.

"Oh yeah...I have a daughter somewhere too" Kanna mused suddenly smacking her son on the back of the head "I thought I told you to find Melanie!"

"I've been looking! I can't find her!"

Kanna looked absolutely pissed, she turned to Rica "I suppose a later date would be a smart idea...My idiot son lost his younger sister."

Rica chuckled a bit at Jason's behavior. The kid was protective... well, that was no real surprise. Then Kanna mentioned a second, missing child. Rica paused at that... hopefully the child wasn't missing because of the crash, but from Kanna's behavior he doubted it. Surely she'd be more worried if her daughter was missing and could be hurt?

… Hah.

“Well... Ethan and I can find your daughter.” Rica volunteered, mirroring the current events in RFTS, sans the extra babies.

“Just you...I see,” Gallic said, with a slight frown, “Well then, I trust you'll lead us, front and center.”



Samuel paused, looking to Didymus and Alice.

“As long as I don't need to chaperone you two,” he grinned. He was joking, of course, trying to lighten the mood.



“A daughter?” Ethan said, “I have a daughter myself...She's about your son's age. If you want Kanna, I'm sure we could swap...parenting tips.”

Speaking of parenting, Maize soon appeared, dusting off her dress.

“Well, I just saved a kid,” she grinned, “Oh, hey, Jason, right? I think I saw your sister. Same hair and eyes as you and your mom. She's with this red haired kid.”



Hammah hugged Colette again, giving his sister a kiss on the top of her head.

“Come on! Let's find Jimi! He was suppose to be on this ship too!” Hammah declared, standing up, holding Colette's hand.

Jimi would wonder about the dress.



Speaking of Jimi, he was thinking.

“Well, I can make steam myself. I have both fire and water powers, so, for now, I can keep you charged,” Jimi said, “But...if you need a better power source...Did you ever think about electricity?”



Cess paused, looking at Shimera. Instead of being a worried aristocratic girl, she was excited.

He liked this girl.

“Well then, do you mind if I tag a long with your adventure?” Cess asked.

Spoony answered, "Well... it looks like we crashed out in the middle of the desert. I could probably teleport us back towards Hydron, if I had any idea which direction it was in... though, even if I knew that, making you nauseated from my teleportation spurts might not be good for your headache."

Spoony tried to help Sophie back up on her feet.

"I'm sorry all this had to happen. I feel bad that I got you mixed up in this mess..."

--

Fork was somewhere else, trying to wake up her parents.

"Mom, dad, wake up!", Fork cried out.

"Ugh...", she said to herself, "Where are Spoony and... that girl at, anyway?"

Shimera rested her chin in her hand. "Well, adventure is not as fun alone as it is with a partner. Sure, you can tag along!" she told Cess excitedly.

She started looking around. "But first, we should probably check to see if everyone is okay."

“Didymus, I'm not much for the restaurant scene. If you want to have some deep philosophical conversation about what's wrong with our society, we can do it at the firing range. And you'd bet your ass you'll be with us, Samuel... you're spending a LOT of time at the firing range! Don't think I forgot!”

Alice smirked a bit and crossed her arms.

[…]

“Excellent Maize! You see, Kanna? It seems your daughter is safe and sound. No need to worry. Still... Maize, why don't you fetch her and her friend back here? I'm certain Miss. Kanna could feel better to have her daughter here.”

Rica smirked.

[…]

Stark paused as Jimi brought up electricity.

“... I have. Electricity doesn't have a great reputation in Hydron, though. A few years ago a company tried to switch from Steam to Electric... there was an incident. A lot of people died, and others were injured... I believe electric power is possible, but... to truly pursue it, you need someone with electrical powers. There's not a lot of people like that left... and the only one I know is too traumatized to ever use his powers.”

Stark shrugged. “For now, though, if you can keep her charged... I can get us home safe.”

[…]

Knife awoke and frowned, looking to Fork.

“... I'm awake... but we must find your brother. Now.”

Didymus actually chuckled at Alice's comment...but was appearently flustered at the same time.

"Malvin, I said nothing of any restaurants. I just said sitting down and chatting about all that stuff...but if you'd prefer a firing range...would that truly be the best place? To have our minds engaged on something besides firing and gun safety whilst there? I personally think that would be unwise...still, if you insist...I suppose it would still be my pleasure..."

The last part was spoken rather quietly.

And he looked around, concerned that Alice's sisters had heard and were plotting his demise...remember kids, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean no one is out to get you.

"So, has their busniess concluded?" he looked over towards Rikku and Gallic.

Cess grinned at Shimera, bowing lowly.

“Alright then,” Cess smiled, “As for the others, it seems like they're organizing. I'm not an engineer, so unless someone's hurt, I can't do much right now. I will be sure to help protect you, of course.”



Samuel sighed, making a face at the mention of a firing range.

“I never liked guns...” Samuel sighed, “Didn't seem...fair, to me...”

Samuel didn't like to kill...After all, it couldn't be done to him.



“Alright, I'll go get her. Hey, you,” Maize said, looking at Jason, looking him up and down, “You can come with me. She's your sister after all.”



Gallic paused, thinking.

“Alright then. You'll provide guidance back to the wall. I will pay you once we get back to civilization...but, as a down payment...” Gallic said, then pulled out a small gem, tucked away for emergencies such as this, “Here.”

Shimera nodded and smiled. "That's good, then! Now, I gotta see what's outside!" she exclaimed, running toward a window.


Avenger's Abode

Everything was quite silent. Avenger fell asleep, for he worked very hard that day.

KxS was still reading that book. It wasn't very big, so it didn't take her long to get to the last chapter.

Avenger snorted a little in his sleep as KxS shut her book. She looked around the little house they lived in...and had a feeling that something wasn't right. She put her book down and opened the door that led outside. She looked left--then right. She didn't know what, but something was worrying her. She looked up to the skies and hoped that nothing dreadful happened.
