The Pirate Party

[xbalthierx.livejournal.com]

Characters: OPEN TO EVERYONE
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: A party to get over all the drama (and to celebrate a pirate's birthday but only a few people know that so shhhh.)
Location: Just outside Wutai
Date: February 27th, 1804
Warnings: Um. Alcohol, pirates, drunken Selphie, probably a lot of innuendo and... a surprise later~!


The evening was set and any guests that had needed to be picked up had been. Balthier had done a tour of Gaia to collect the people that didn't have airships or couldn't acquire transport and set everyone down in Wutai. The Strahl was parked just outside of Wutai, where the party was to be held. Technically, it wasn't in Wutai, thus should any complay about the noise or the crowd, then there would be no reason they should leave. Balthier had strategically set them outside of Wutai, and asked permission, to keep things settled.

He didn't exactly want this to blow up in everyone's faces after the slew of dramatics that had rolled in during the past two weeks or so, even if he was to blame for part of it.

Flames crackling on the large bonfire he had set earlier, the majority of the light in the area came from the fire and the Strahl's lights, particularly the glossair rings. Thankfully, the engine wouldn't overheat as he'd fine tuned it earlier in the morning.

An enormous table (the origins of which were not for anyone to question) stood to one side, covered all over with various party food that Fran had cooked. While she wasn't exactly a gourmet chef, the Viera was skilled enough to make decent party food for the guests. Next to that stood three smaller tables, all piled high with various different alcoholic beverages, and a small table with non-alcoholic drinks was overshadowed by the sheer mass of booze.

Balthier had paid off everyone he'd needed to pay; everything was set.

The party looked to be a good night and seemed as if it'd go without a hitch!

"Terra?" Rinoa had heard of it. "Is that where you're from too?"

[dark0messenger.livejournal.com]

"Technically, yes. Terra is my birth place. She has been missing." He still wasn't sure if this was good or bad for his fate. "Do you have any information regarding her whereabouts? Planets usually don't just disappear, but in this case that seems to be exactly what happened. It's as if someone pulled her existence right out of the book!"

"I think Zidane said it was destroyed..." There was something else itching at her memory too, something about how Terra had been destroyed. Rinoa shrugged. "I don't know, how would you get to another planet anyway? Gaia doesn't seem advanced enough to have spaceships."

"There are ways beyond taking ships. The abilities that some possess can take a person from one setting and throw them into another. It's very easy."

It's a good thing that Rinoa didn't bring up the means of how Terra was destroyed, because all up until now Kuja had been denying and would rather hear nothing of his supposed 'downfall' that occurred.

"If Terra is gone, that is a shame." A shame because since this planet isn't inhabited by nothing but those native to that red planet, his plan has yet to succeed. "I suppose Gaia will have to make do, as intended."

Rinoa's eyes widened. "Really? You mean like the power that brought us here? Do you know anything about that?"

All the Sky People had spent months wondering what kind of magic could have ripped them all into Gaia, and now this Kuja was talking about travel between worlds like he did it every day.

"The power that brought you here? No." There were many new faces, but if Kuja had been gone as long as they said he was, for all he knew they could have appeared from other continents. But it was rather strange that they seemed to posses knowledge of technology and concepts that were unheard of by native Gaians. Time travel could have been involved, even a rip in the dimension, but regardless of what it was since it didn't affect him or his immediate plans, he didn't care. Sorry, Rinoa.

"That concept is beyond my knowledge." Or his interest. "Maybe you will find out if the one pulling the strings allows it. Or slips up."

Her face fell. "Well, I guess it was worth asking."
