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

-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.]

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.

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.

Alright that's a good point.

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

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

Didn't catch his name yet.

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

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

Maybe someone needs to suggest him a repaint.

By the way what's your name?

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

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

I might.

Eris, goddess of chaos and discord.

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

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?

[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.

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

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

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

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

You been here for long?

Feels like. It's been at least several months, anyway.

That long? Long in human terms, I mean, when you are immortal like me time loss its meaning.

There's really no way to leave this place, isn't it? [She doesn't really seem bothered by that.]

Y-yeah...

[Abruptly he frowns.]

So I've heard, but I'm not going to believe it.

[If there's a way in, there's a way out- it stands to reason, right? Plus, he doesn't want to believe he's stuck here. He promised Tiffa they'd be together!]

Do you have good reason to want to get back? Some significant other...?

W-well....! Okay, yeah- I have a girlfriend back home and I said I'd be with her wherever we went, so this kinda makes it difficult, you know?

A girlfriend! [There's always someone.] The poor thing must be so broken and worried without you.

Why did you make impossible promises to her?

....

I didn't think it was an impossible promise. Come on, who'd ever expect something like this?

You promised someone to always be by their side. Only naive or young people promise things like that, sweetie, because they don't know yet the sort of tricks destiny likes to pull on them.

...well I'll find a way back to her, even if it means kicking destiny upside the head!

[Eris laugh.] Good luck with that then. I'm sure you won't disappoint.
