[ After all the stuff that's been going on lately, it's probably no surprise that Lightning has already been pretty on edge for quite a while now... particularly the last few days. Imagine her joy then, when halfway through making breakfast she opens her journal to find that yet another bout of insanity is going down.

Just... great.

As soon as she works out the basics of the disturbance, she quickly begins to clean up what she had spread out, addressing her journal mid-action. So far, she seems a bit irritated, but... otherwise, pretty unimpressed. ]

Alright... whatever's going on, everyone needs to just stay calm. We need to figure out who these people are, where they're coming from, and why.

[ Yes, she's using her Important Voice, even though there definitely hasn't been time to really think this through. There's a pause while she finishes gathering up her breakfast, but if nobody interrupts she then picks up her journal and makes an additional, somewhat reluctant 'command' as she moves to leave the eating area and go back towards her own rooms again. ]

... If they're not enemies, make sure none of them are left wandering around out in the snow.

[ Aaannnnd fourthwallstuffgo. As soon as she revisits her apartment, you just know she'll be tromping outside to see this whole mess for herself too. Go ahead and harass her at any point over journal or in person or both or whatever. ]

[Somebody they haven't asked!]

WOULD YOU LIKE A BABY?

Hey you, scary looking woman!

[He called from across the way]

Follow in your father's example, Fox!

What's that about snow?

.....

What?

[ Uh wow, just what is that supposed to mean? She may look at you, but that... doesn't mean she'll acknowledge or anything. ]

[ What... the hell. ]

Excuse me?

[ ....... No. No way. She has to be hearing things. Coincidence. First thing that comes to mind: ]

Pretty sure it's snowing today.

[ AND THEN: ]

... Snow?

Hey, it is!

[Snow takes a pause (because he's totally not playing with the snow).] In the flesh!

[ -- WTH!!! She was walking, but upon hearing that she stops dead in her tracks. ]

Where are you?

I'm pretty sure this is the middle of the village. It's got the fountain and everything over here.

[ That pause doesn't last long- in the next moment, Lightning's brain jumps back into gear and she bursts into her apartment, pretty much drops everything by the door... ]

Hold on, do you know where this is?

Luceti, right? [Snow sighs.] Didn't expect to end up back here, but I'm missing out on the wing motif this time around.

[ ...snatches up her gloves and coat, turns on her heel, and is already back out the door by the time he finishes answering. She doesn't answer a moment, however, because this is really strange- so he's actually been here before, like Serah apparently had? And just what does he mean by that wing comment? Does he not have any for some reason?

... No matter, she'll figure it out herself pretty quick. ]

Stay where you are- at the fountain.

Sure thing, Light. [So he'll stay where he is. And make a small snowman to pass the time.]

[ And brb, using the rest of the hallway to throw on her gloves and coat, then probably wake up anyone still sleeping in the building with the sound of her charging down the stairs. She'll also be taking the distance to the village center at a dead sprint, thanks, regardless of how awkward that can be with her gunblade still holstered.

Her face is unreadable when she slows and approaches him. No wings. Just like he said, then. ]

Cham-paggin?

[And there's a snowman. Which doesn't matter much, so Snow just pats his hands together and looks over to Lightning.] That was pretty fast.

[You got an Osaka following you! And apparently she knows you! You poor thing.]

... Light! Liiiight! Where are we? I'm cold ...

Tch!

[ Never mind, her own mismatched wings start twitching in fury, matching the look of complete indignation quickly developing on her face. You idiot, she's been here all by herself for over a month, nursing a l'Cie curse without any way to get back to her Focus (even if she wanted to do it), no idea what could be happening back in her own world, freezing her butt off, and...

Damn it all, she's missed you guys. Even Snow. Of course it was 'pretty fast.' ]

[ ..... She has no idea what you just said. ]

[Have a lost little boy. :|]

...Light? ...

[Lightning can be a little tough to read sometimes, and that face doesn't look like it could bode well. But all that does is give Snow incentive to shuffle his feet for a second before:]

How long have you been cooped up here?

[ There is indeed... some teenage girl following her? Lightning throws a glance over her shoulder, but then after a few more steps stops and turns to look at her better with a confused - but still entirely flat - look. How do you know her name? ]

Who are you?

[sob sorry Lighting this ~~handsomely~~ man isn't going to leave her alone]

I don't think we've met. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Zapp Brannigan.
