Mog Network - Hologram Post

[pole_position]

[Here's another Mog Network post - this one from one Pyrrha Nikos.]

Hello? Is anyone listening? This is Pyrrha Nikos calling. I'm with Jaune Arc, Ruby Rose, and Eleanor Hume, in Aerilon II on the southwest continent. The city was founded by refugees from the original Aerilon, in the underground settlement formerly known as Downapolis. O'aka is here as well, and he has provided us with a communication device. We've apparently been asleep for five years, and in the meantime Kalki has put her plans into motion. If anyone can hear this, please respond. If we can gather the remaining Heroes of Light together, we may still be able to stop Kalki before she succeeds at her goal. We should meet somewhere to discuss our strategy.

((OOC: All four are available to talk to, so just put Pyrrha, Ruby, Jaune, or Eleanor in the subject line of your reply.))

Jaune

[boomchucka]

[And contrary to the "I'm so happy to see you!" that Selphie gave to Pyrrha, Jaune is getting a bit of the opposite reaction. There's a very cross young lady with a half glare, half worried look on her face.]

You bonehead!

Re: Jaune

[Jaune smiled when he saw Selphie, glad to see her alive and well and looking forward to the reunion. That is, until she yells at him.]

Hey! What did I do?

[Because as far as he can recall he hasn't done anything to upset the girl.]

I'm sorry!

[boomchucka]

[Jaune didn't do anything directly but he most certainly did a good job of scaring the crap out of her after his cliff jumping into the party pit oblivion.]

Remember five years ago when you jumped off that cliff after we beat Garland?

[That's what he did.]

That was stupid and I thought I'd never see you again and just what the heck were you thinking?!

Don't be! It was bound to come out sooner or later!

[arcward]

I didn't jump! [A beat.]Okay, so I did, but only to go find Pyrrha! People kept saying they were alive down there, but after the fight ended no one was making a move so I decided to go find her myself to make sure she was okay.

[In hindsight, not the brightest idea going off alone, but he had zero regrets. It had worked, hadn't it?]

I suspect this isn't going to end very well...

[boomchucka]

[Oh no, no. Jaune is reminding Selphie of her own reckless stunts back when she was younger and she shakes her head. She might have done the same thing if she hadn't met the people that she had here. She hates to use this argument but it's the only one she's got.]

You totally jumped and what if, just what if, there was nobody down there? Some people were trying to figure out a way to find if the others were still alive and then Kalki showed up and everything went to crap.

[Dummy!]

[pole_position]

Wait... you did what, Jaune?

[She is standing right there, after all.]

You could have died!

[arcward]

[Jaune frowned.]

No, Kalki was defeated. I saw her get struck down before I left. I wasn't going to abandon you guys while we were in the middle of fighting.

[...Crap Pyrrha us right behind him crap. He had forgotten that his conversation wasn't private. He nervously turns to face her. Guess it's time to come clean; the cat was out of the bag anyway.]

A few people said that they could feel the presence of you guys or something and that you weren't dead, so it seemed safe enough to do down into. Besides, what choice did I have? You could have been hurt or in trouble - we had no idea what was down there. And I couldn't just leave you down there, not when there was a chance you might need my help. So. I jumped.

[He cringes slightly while he waits for Pyrrha to respond. mentally preparing himself for the lecture he's sure is coming.]
