[Well the armor might be familiar to some of you. Even the coloring. And you are already swearing under your breath, aren't you?]

[If you want to know why they're swearing, just keep watching. You'll catch on.]

You know what? I thought I finally caught a break. After dealing with all that shit with the Meta, all I want to be dreaming about is swimming in sea of snack cakes. Actually, I’m pretty sure that was what I was dreaming about before I got dumped here with the theme park mascot that came in and ruined everything. Yeah sure free candy is awesome, but at what cost? A long ass information dump that I may or may not have tuned out about three seconds in?

[Spoiler alert: he did tune out the Moogle.]

Whatever, I’m going back to sleep. This actually might be the first time I’ll be glad to wake up during one of Sarge’s staff meetings.

[Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuuuuuuuuuuuuck]

[He's not surprised. Dismayed, displeased, and wary of the fact that this could royally fuck things up for him...but not surprised.]

Where are you.

[Also, don't mind the very curious Komory Bat on his shoulder. The bat just wants to be friends, that's all!]

[grifball]

Oh great. You're here. [Nice to see you too Wash.]

[Actually wait, no it isn't. It's never nice to see you. Especially since the first thing Grif noticed was the demon perched on you.]

Same place I started hey what the fuck is that thing on your shoulder?

[unrecovered]

The feeling is mutual. [You have no idea, Grif. None whatsoever.]

This is Fang. He's a spirit and a solid ally and you'd have one yourself by now if you'd listened to the Moogle. [Wasted words but dammit he can't stop himself from trying.] Now where are you.

[grifball]

Fuck you. That's a bat. [How is that a solid ally in any way? Grif is just going to keep on...looking...make sure it doesn't try anything.] If I tell you, it's going to know where I am.

[unrecovered]

[There's a very long moment of him getting his breathing under control and reminding himself not to murder Grif straight off the bat because that generally looks bad.]

Yes. He is. And he's going to know where you are if I send him to find you, which is my next option if you don't tell me.

[grifball]

[Taking a moment to really contemplate his options. Too bad they all sucked.]

Godammit. Alright fine, I'm in First District. Now can you get that thing to stop staring at me already.

Action?

[unrecovered]

I'll be right there. [The video goes off after that; presumably he's headed to the First District.]

Action

[grifball]

Great we'll have a tea party. Just don't- [Wait no don't hang up. Fuck. Didn't get a chance tell Wash to leave the demon at home.]

[Knowing him, he's going to bring the bat.]

Huzzah :D

[unrecovered]

[Of course he brought the bat. Intimidation tactics.]

[It doesn't take him very long to make it to the First District.]

I should've known you'd show up eventually.

[grifball]

[Dick.]

You were expecting me? How sweet. Did you remember to get a cake? [He's not even trying to hide the sarcastic asshole.]

[unrecovered]

[Must be Tuesday.]

Process of elimination. You sleep the most. [He's ignoring that, because if they start snarking at each other they'll be here all day and he wants to lay a few things down.] And you can get your own cake. [Okay, so he didn't ignore all of it.]

What's the last thing you remember before arriving here? [It's a bit cards-on-the-table for him, but subtlety is usually lost on Grif. Perched on Wash's shoulder, Fang looks very interested in the conversation.]
