[It's okay he'll pick up the other shoe and go RUNNING AFTER HER, HE GUESSES!!!]

...God. It's gonna dump us out somewhere stupid.

[But they might as well, he just wants to be done here. He has a solidly middle of the road 10 roll to use either on this thing or wherever they're spat out.]

✔️ FALCON'S NEST (we're back baby)

[ With a 4, the moogle does not have the WILL to keep running with the shoe. It throws it at one of them with a measly 4. It doesn't hit them. It plops onto the floor with a little plip.

There's an awkward silence, but the moogle BOOKS IT. When they touch the aetheryte, they will appear by the aetheryte in Falcon's Nest. Their rolls will dictate their aethersickness since this is their first time. While similar to motion sickness, their vision also blurs every once in a while, they will also feel a bit giddy here and there.

For an example/reference, the symptoms like being heavily intoxicated for five minutes. With a 14, Vin is okay, though kind of wobbly and her head feels stuffy. If she needed and wanted to focus, then she can. For Kashuu... He won't collapse or be stuck to a spot, but damn, son. ]

[goodbye moogle... goodbye shoe...

this is a wild feeling!! and she wobbles a little, but her focus is going to be on keeping kashuu standing. as she does that, she's also going to be looking around to see the state of the place.

eli knife vin Roll: [18] Result: 18 for her efforts!!]

Are you alright?

[slashay]

[Shoogles...

But wow THIS IS TERRIBLE. Kashuu has fortunately(????) been drunk before, so he knows exactly what's happening as he just leans against a wall for a second.]

I'm... hate it here.

[Thanks, sir. He reaches out to try patting her arm and misses.]

--You good? Got the shoe.

[disestablishment]

[ There are the sounds of dragons roaring past the gates of Ishgard... Vin and Kashuu can also see two great wyrms, one white which they know nothing about against Nidhogg. Falcon's Nest is empty—must have been evacuated.

By the way, black bird is still following and it has brought Vax's body despite being a small black bird. ]

[allomantic]

[looks at the gate. looks at kashuu. looks at the bird.]

Are you all well enough to go that way...?

[slashay]

[This bird............ is maybe an ally after all... And also abnormally strong... He sees.]

--I'm... I think I might, like. Need a second.

[HE DOESN'T WANT TO RUSH OUT INTO BATTLE LIKE THIS but like, he will if he has to. Like, if people start yelling for help or something then his drunk ass is going to stumble that way.]

[disestablishment]

[ Black bird perches on real Vax again and waits here.

Since they are here in the empty Falcon's Nest! They can look at the pool of blood Yasusada and Vax made earlier. Very cool. It's a bit difficult to hear any yells for help when the city is an amalgamation of sounds, a chorus of death sang harmoniously by man and dragon. People are dying, but people die every day, don't they?

The voice again: "why live to suffer?"

Ultimately, it means Kashuu can have his second. ]

[allomantic]

[she makes a face.]

Stop asking me that...!

[not kashuu, this mysterious voice. anyways, this is absolutely horrible, but.]

Take the time you need, but... We should do something, though - I do not know which way to go, anyways.

[since people are suffering every which way apparently!!]

[slashay]

I'm gonna find wherever that stupid voice is coming from and make 'em eat my whole fist.

[HATEFUL. Anyway he rolled too low to be sensible about staying here until his condition has fully improved so he'll wait, like 2 out of 5 minutes before deciding THAT'S ENOUGH and starting to stagger in the direction of battle sounds.]

Ugh-- Let's just... see if we can find Ayme. Maybe once we're back together we'll be able to get outta here.

[disestablishment]

[ How will you take Vax or will he just stay here? The bird isn't going to carry him this time, as it takes flight to follow.

They can stagger through the gates and Ishgard is in chaos. Roll to find Aymeric! And just comment to the same toplevel. I will merge you guys when you guys find each other.

If that happens. ]
