YOU MAY BE A LOVER BUT YOU AIN'T NO DANCER

HELTER SKELTER

[Well, Champions, it certainly does look like you're trapped here.

There's limited food and limited supplies... and while there's a limited number of you, there's certainly too many of you for what you've got on hand. Never mind the whole deal that you've been kidnapped and shoved into someone else's house. Like, who even does that?

And all to "send a message," besides. Whatever that even means.

Regardless, things aren't going to change by just sitting and moping around. You're here until your captor decides he's done with you, so while there's no guarantee that acting won't just make things worse, it's got to be at least a little better than this.

Right?]

That it is. It seems we've landed ourselves into quite a situation.

[ It's dubious nonetheless, and Gaius supposes it could much worse, but it's still one that has him on bit of an edge. Though, he seems rather calm as it is within his nature. ]

[Oh hey. That guy was there for 20 questions with their "stalker"-- but she hadn't met him properly before.]

I wish I could stop getting into these kinds of situations. It's starting to feel like a talent.

[Honestly though, his calm nature is kind of soothing at a time like this.]

[galesanctuary]

[ The two people here, who, coincidentally both have 'Ouroboros' as listed as a dislike on their profiles have finally met...! ]

You're another person who's used to being kidnapped?

[ He met Inaba, who seemed to be in that very same boat. He hopes that's not like a common trend here. ]

[carryabigstick]

This is technically my first official kidnapping, since the last one was actually staged as part of my Bracer training.

[Too bad this couldn't be that easy.]

Usually I like to be the one getting people out of situations like this, not being in them. But I guess you don't really get a choice.

[But before she gets any further...]

Oh--! I'm Estelle by the way. Nice to meet you!

[galesanctuary]

[ If only... ]

My name is Gaius Worzel; it's good to meet you too Estelle.

[ Even if their situation is dubious, but he won't mention the obvious.

Though her earlier comment does make him a little curious. ]

You're used to helping others back home?

[carryabigstick]

[He even has a cool name. What the heck.]

Yeah!

[She gestures to the Bracer emblem pinned to her outfit.]

That’s what the Bracer Guild is for. I just recently became a Senior Bracer. So now I can technically help out anywhere in Zemuria where the Bracer Guild has a branch.

...ah. That’s where the country I’m from, Liberl, is located.

[galesanctuary]

[ It's true. Gaius is a name confirmed for cool/badass dudes. Just ask Gaius from Tales too

But hey, those are all completely recognizable terms to him. On one hand, it's nice to have a little familiarity, on another hand, it's kind of unfortunate for different reasons. ]

I've heard of Liberl, though I've never been. But, it's been awhile since I've seen a bracer - mostly because I've been in Nord after leaving Erebonia to take care of some things.
