Where Art Thou Barthello? [Tyran/Open]

[Dona]

Disgusting, simply disgusting. Not only was this forest disgusting, but this whole situation. Dona, the soon to be High Summoner, was stranded in this strange jungle. For a time she thought it was the Macalania Woods. Yet it was far to primative to be such a place. Actual leaves of bright green, and various flowers and plants in the colors of the rainbow bloomed through out this place. A stark comparison to the almost glass like features of Macalania.

Yet it was far worse then simply colors. The moss ridden pathways threatened to snap her heels at any moment, and the large bugs were far more persistent then the wasps of Spira. Worst of all? This beautiful damsel was all alone. She knew how to take care of herself, sort of. She certainly could forgage for some food and water, and even cook a half way decent meal for herself. Yet she knew she stood little chance against the fiends stalking the jungle, let alone creepy men that craved her lustrous body, or at least that's what she thought.

So with no guardian, Dona simply had to find one. It wouldn't do to have a summoner without a guardian, even if they were only temporary. Which meant she would have to find one. Her feet stomped loudly against the ground, the loud clunking sound of her shoes hitting wood echoing through the harsh jungle. Luckily for Dona it didn't draw much attention, due to the fact that it was drowned out by her shrew like voice. Which was, of course, beautiful in Dona's own eyes. "Barthello! Barthello!" She cried out, which probably drew the attention of one to many denizens of the jungle. "Barthello get out here this instant! If you do not show yourself immediately I will make you wear th-"

For once in her life Dona managed to close her noise hole. Why? Well she heard some sort of rustling sound coming from the near by bushes. Her movements drew still, as her lips mouth was shut tight. She actually learned a lesson for once. It was unwise to shout out in the middle of a strange forest. Seeing as it would most likely attract hungry fiends, or one of her stalkers.... Dona silently prayed to Yevon that it was a bloody hungry fiend.

[Tyran]

He sat in the bar drinking his drink and listening to the people around him as they whispered about local gossip. He looked around hearing a lot of chatter about some mist thing worlds colliding all of it made no sense to him yet but he knew it was only a matter of time till he got a job that would pull him into it all.

"Another one please bar tender." He looked around the room at everyone and then back as he drink was served to him.

"Thank you." He nodded too the bar tender and then started to drink again over hearing people talk about some people going missing in a nearby. He stood up finished his drink and paid the bar tender and gave him a nod as he stumbled a little and grabbed his sword from the door way and walked outside. He stumbled around the front door for a moment as he heard a familiar voice call to him from behind the bar.

"You need to quit drinking Tyran." The bar tender yelled with a laugh as he raised his hand to wave good bye.

"Yes it is on my too do list." He laughed and stumbled to the left and then to the right heading towards a nearby ally way to find a spot to rest and gather himself for a moment. No sooner had he walked into the ally way had he felt a sudden pull and fell to the ground.

"This is not the drink that is for sure." He said to himself as he tried with all his might to push himself back up but something was pushing him down and would not let up. The pressure was beginning to be too much his sight was starting to wain as he finally fell unconscious for what felt like an eternity. He slowly woke his head pounded as he felt himself push off the ground with unfamiliar feel too the ground beneath him and sounds and smells he could not recognize.

"This is not good." He muttered to himself as he slowly gained his footing and waited for his eyes to regain focus. He got up and looked at the forest around him it was like nothing he had ever seen before he was not in the city anymore.

"Barthello! Barthello!" He heard a women in the distance as he slowly moved around and started to head towards the voice.

"I'm not alone." He muttered to himself as he staggered through the forest moving towards the voice. He stumbled over some branches on the ground as he finally made it through the bushes bursting forth and stumbling towards the lady. He managed to throw his body to the right just clipping her side and landing on his butt.

"Hey you there, Do you know where we are lady?" He got up slowly still a bit dizzy from what ever it was that had happen to him moments ago. He finally got back onto his feet and got his balance and looked at her up and down and then looked around the area and then back at her and scratched his head.

"Well this is very odd indeed." He pulled out a flask and opened it up looking at the bottom of it.

"Damn it is empty." He looked back at her and scratched his head again trying to work out what was happening and just who she was.
