[[Video/Action :: Outside of Haven]]

[leap_before_look]

-aw come on, not now!!

[The boy curses over the sound of warning alerts, the feed shaky as wherever he is, it looks like Garrod is struggling with some sort of controls. Those blinking lights around him can't be good.]

Come on, come on, come on- Crap, no good, I gotta slow this thing down somehow..!

[He glances around frantically before it seems something comes to mind.]

Hope the Harmonica's still got some juice..!

[Flipping a few switches, he wrestles again with the main controls of his Gundam, concentrating on the main screen before him as he watches the ground get closer with each second.]

-Now!

[There's a flare of reddish light, and depending on where one is around the Northeastern edges of the Haven, one might see a large white mech in mid-plummet, suddenly firing off a stream of multiple beam blasts from a long shield-like weapon. It serves to provide a brief buffer in the Gundam's descent, but the landing is still a rough one once it does touch down with its feet, the ground crumbling at its impact, sending the mobile suit sprawling forward a good couple of miles before it halts.]

Rgghhh...!

[The image rattles badly with the landing, and Garrod himself is thrown forward in the mech's cockpit, unmoving as the lights within fade out along with the alarms system.]

[No one ever is upon meeting her.]

I'm sure there will be more occasions, you ca try harder the next time.

What was all that about?

[leap_before_look]

If it involves a repeat performance of this, I think I'll pass, thanks.

My Gundam lost power before I could get back to the Haven.

sorry for the slow tag, Ii somehow missed this reply

[chaosgoddess]

Don't you like living the wild life kid? That's the only way to feel alive, almost dying.

Your 'gundam' looks similar to the other metal men here. Did you kill one so you could get inside it?

i'sokay!<3

[leap_before_look]

Had enough experiences with that. I can't die here- I have people waiting for me back home.

...I haven't killed anyone here, okay? It's a mobile suit from back home, completely operated by a pilot.

thanksss ♥

[chaosgoddess]

Oh you can die. I heard that here is not permanent.

Why does it look like one of them then?

[leap_before_look]

It isn't...? -not that I want to try it!

[He shrugs, and the instantly regrets it as his ribs helpfully remind him of his injuries.]

-ergh... Look, I don't know! I never knew robots could be alive and move on their own before I got here!

[chaosgoddess]

That's what people told me. Now like I could die but...[She shrugs.]

And now that you know, don't you wonder what they might thing about your Gundam?

I mean, how would you feel if you saw a tiny robot inside a human corpse, operating it? Creepy right?

[leap_before_look]

So far I haven't gotten any really weird reactions to it. A lot of surprise, maybe, but....

[Eyew. Why do you have to put it that way, Eris? Garrod makes a face.]

Wow lady, you have some twisted way of thinking.

[chaosgoddess]

So far.

[Because she's the goddess of chaos and creepy like that.]

No, I just try to see things from other people's perspective. Innovative, I know.

[leap_before_look]

Well, whatever. I'll deal with it if it comes up.

[Still not too convinced. This time he at least stops himself before he can shrug and agitate his injuries again.]

[chaosgoddess]

You are not afraid one of them might try to step on you one day, cutie?

[Maybe you need to go see a medic eventually.] You seems injured...I could give you a check up. I'm really good with my hands.

[leap_before_look]

Wouldn't be any different than making sure I didn't get stepped on by someone else's mobile suit.

[And he's gone against those even before he had a Gundam, so he's sure he could figure out something if a giant robot had it out for him here. Just...not when he's like this, anyway.

He blinks.]

Erm....n-no, that's okay. Didn't peg you for the medical type, actually. And anyway, this green guy here's trying to contact someone, I think.

[chaosgoddess]

Alright that's a good point.

[Eris smiles.] I am surprising that way. Green guy?

[leap_before_look]

[Nodding, Garrod turns his Link towards Jadewing for a moment before he looks back.]

Didn't catch his name yet.

[chaosgoddess]

[Eris blinks.] That's sure is an unforgettable color for a...whatever he is.

[leap_before_look]

[Garrod can't argue with that.] He is pretty bright. Think he's one of those Cybertronians.

[chaosgoddess]

Maybe someone needs to suggest him a repaint.

By the way what's your name?

[leap_before_look]

Heh. Well, I'll leave that to you if you ever end up talking to him.

Ah, I'm Garrod. And you're..?

[chaosgoddess]

I might.

Eris, goddess of chaos and discord.

[leap_before_look]

Eris, nice to m- Wait, you're a goddess? Seriously?

[chaosgoddess]

Yes, I am. [It's interesting how he focuses on that and not the 'chaos and discord' thing.] I'm the first one you meet?

[leap_before_look]

[Pff, anyone can cause chaos and discord in his experience, but how often does one run into someone who claims to be a goddess?]

Well yeah. I haven't met anyone else claiming such crazy things.

[chaosgoddess]

[Very good point. She likes you even more.]

That's because not everyone's a god, Garrod. you don't believe me?

[leap_before_look]

Under the current circumstances in general, I'm pretty much open to believing anything.

[chaosgoddess]

That's a good way to see thing, kid.

You been here for long?
