[Not long after the text, Rinku can be found running over from the direction of the nearest teleport node. She's pretty easy to spot -- a young woman with giraffe horns and a tail, scars spreading across her face, and a shirt that says "weird sisters build character" isn't too common.]
{ thankfully, having met before, it's pretty easy to identify her from the post as she comes running over. it's true she definitely stands out though, at least amongst the crowd of locals here. he's not really ventured too far, just a bit into solarpeak to chase the sun a little bit. }
Yeah, that's me! Thanks for coming to help. I've kind of just been wandering so having some direction would be nice.
Yeah, yeah! [smile smile -- wait is she glowing.] There's parks and nature spaces all over, though a bunch of them are way smaller. Some places in Nightwake are only a block and some? Frostreign has a lot of natural area, but that's because most people don't live up there 'cause it's freezing. I dunno why, it's fun! Exotic!
{ is she glowing- she is met with a bright smile in return either way, glad that even if she finds the cold area exotic he won't be stumbling to find his way around now. }
How long have you been here anyway? I met someone when I arrived who said they'd been here 2 years. Kinda hard to imagine that's possible. But I bet if you've been here a while the city is easy to remember like the back of your hand.
Huh! So you've been here just as long. Well, in that case, how about we go with your favourite local spot? Unless that's also Blossomcrown, I guess we already covered that one...
[She reaches for his wrist to start tugging him towards the nearest teleport node.]
There's a park in Amberfall where they used to hold the Arts Festival before it moved to the Titanic Dome. It's nice there, everything's always colourful!
{ he'll stumble the first step after her since he hadn't expected that, but there's no move to make her let go. instead he'll quicken his pace to keep up. }
Oh, that's the one you mentioned before, right? On the app?
[Rinku activates the teleport node as soon as they're there, and suddenly they're in the Amberfall district square, leaves blowing and bicycles weaving through the lanes. She gets onto the sidewalk and points past the Fairy Queen statue.]
This way! This district's really pretty, it's a big artist area. Neechan lives here, and I take Mary-chan here a lot too -- oh, she's the kid I'm looking after, she loves art and painting.
{ he'll fall into rinku's pace though, speeding his steps as necessary and letting her just pull him along wherever she thinks to head first. he's used a teleport once or twice, but it still fields weird and different compared to going through a heavenly portal door... thingy. }
There are kids here too? { that is alarming, but if rinku is taking care of her, she's probably in good hands. } But wow. It really is beautiful, kind of similar to fall at home, though we don't have a statue like that.
Yeah, it's really cool! I think this might be the most famous statue? But there's a bunch of statues and art pieces and stuff in Amberfall.
[She smiles up at the statue as they pass it. It's not far to the park, where the path is lined with trees with orange and yellow leaves that occasionally flutter down to the ground.]
It's nice here! There's a big clearing further down, even if it's not as big as where people hold parties and stuff in Blossomcrown.
Have everything reasonably ready to go, but not specialized items. If anything comes to mind for you that shouldn't be missed and isn't a basic, may be worth bringing.
{ he'll use the time to get his own stuff together, at least now he has clothes that won't have issues when he uses his powers from home. but whatever annie answers to that he'll travel light. just enough to live off while going there and back.
he'll keep his coat from home on for the time being though, so he looks like a priest at the moment. he also has a backpack with a few supplies which doesn't match well. }
( Does he know what that is? Hell if she did before coming here, and it's still just a word rather than anything sensible. Companion creatures that want to live in balls. She supposed she could have tossed the egg to one of the neighbors, or asked for Reiner (or maybe even Bertholdt) to watch it, but it's somehow her responsibility for the moment, and thus an egg is... carried around in a satchel. If these things are meant to be combat assisting anyway, this is probably fine.
Annie looks like she decided to show up in black pants, a white hoodie, and a very weird version of bondage gear worn over both. If Ezra'd ever seen one of the Scouts wearing their ODM gear the straps will be familiar; if not, she makes incredibly questionable fashion decisions.
She also has a rectangular wooden box with a handle in one hand and a rucksack over her shoulder holding a jar, extra socks (never... forget... socks, when you're military) and other practicalities. What may seem less practical is the satchel worn sideways across her front. It's the pokemon egg. Being egglike. How this is logical presently evades her.
His outfit... ... is an outfit. To Annie, whose brushing up against forms of organized religion was vastly different from anything Judo-Christian, it's just a different style of coat. Overall, they're both sufficiently mismatched for this place. )
The egg. ( She says, pointing to the satchel on her front. ) It's shell is ridiculously strong.
( ... Right. )
And hello. Is there anything else we need before we head out?
{ THANKFULLY he does know what the pokemon are. he doesn't have one himself, but he watched as jean essentially adopted a skiddle that was enamoured with him. he isn't aware of any of the others wearing the gear for quests yet, annie is his first experience with it, but honestly he just takes it as a weird fashion choice for now.
it's fine, he frequents gay bars a lot. people wear that all the time there. at least his own is mostly black, with the church of providence's emblems on the sleeves. nothing too fancy. }
Y'know, I knew the existed but I haven't seen one. You have to carry it around with you? It doesn't need to like... incubate or anything?
{ not that it matters, he'll wave his hands in front of himself. }
But yo. Nice to meet you. I don't think so. I'm not exactly used to a life of luxury though, so if you aren't used to camping it may be a shock?
( all of AOT is in its gay bar phase and we're proud of them for it.
Annie rests her palm on the top of the satchel, looking a little bemused. puzzled is a good state to be in when it comes to pokemon eggs. )
That's what I would assume, but apparently I'm the donkey. It wants to get walked?
( sure did nothing sitting at home, and it just feels weird leaving it around. weirder than carrying it? apparently not. she shrugs at the question about camping. )
I'm former military. I'm used to roughing it.
( or is she still military? ...
this is it. Annie's claiming her retirement. she hitches her bag a touch higher on her shoulders. )
Any idea how far the airship's drop-off is from our end point?
{ i'd say they are living their best lives but no... no they are not kdsjng
but still, it does look pretty funny. }
How does an egg even know it's being walked?
{ he'll indicate for her to follow though, as he starts walking to board the airship and all. he's done a few trips on this by now so if it's her first time he can give a bit of a tour as well. just a bit. }
Ah, then yeah. Maybe this will be luxury in comparison to that? We'll find out soon enough. This is supposed to be at a campsite though, right? So it may be a bit of a walk to get there.
The airship is designed differently than the ones she has ridden, both on her home world and those smaller ones used for central city transit. She looks around, taking it all in. )
Still feels strange to hear people do this for fun. I suppose that happened back in my world too... just wasn't anything we did.
( Not outside of missions. Eldians weren't allowed to wander around most of the world freely, once they were known as part-Eldian. )
But if it's anything like the military camping I've done, you hike out, set up, and then plan out your rotation. Which for the people here is probably planning out what you're going to do for fun. So probably not the hardest hike.
Camping you mean? Yeah. Most of the time it's about being out with friends. Usually it just involves drinking, maybe playing some games or something--or telling spooky stories! Those come up pretty often too I think.
You've never gone to a campsite just for fun before though? Maybe some other time you'll get to try the fun part on the way there. It doesn't have to be serious the entire time.
{ since the distance is longer though, the airship is bigger to allow for that. they can settle for the time it goes over, and ezra will try and point out a landmark or two. }
[Around his birthday, Ezra would have found gift on his doorstep - specifically it's a leather jacket that he's customized by hand. Chipp did say he'd be getting him exactly that, after all!!
Packaged with it is a little Tupperware container full of brownies, everything all wrapped up to hopefully keep them warm... he finished baking them just a few minutes before he left the house. Nice and toasty just for the birthday boy.]
{ even if chipp had already told him his plan it still feels like a Lot when he receives the gift anyway. it's clear a lot of thought and effort went into it.
chipp will receive a text thanking him in return, along with a promise to take care of the jacket. }
"This is a limiter I got when I attended school. It can suppress a god's form. Take it to the Research Center to study, you might be able to figure out how to help your friend.
{ honestly he'd forgotten most of the conversation until he went back and reread it, but seeing the object now he's surprised the guy went through with it. he has no idea what a limiter is, but he'll follow the instructions.
along with sending on the message. }
Hey, it's Ezra. Thanks for the limiter, I'll make sure no one tries to wear it when I take it to the research centre too!
