issue # 3 | video + action
[It's pretty early in the day when Ellie sends out a network wide cry for help.]
I'm bored as hell. Need something fun to do around here. First person to give me a great idea wins my undying gratitude and an IOU.
[That's it. She's out. Quite literally; the moment the video ends, Ellie is slinging her backpack over her shoulders and heading off on a walk, just to be doing something.
Boredom isn't the crux of the issue, in actuality. If she wasn't so intent on stubbornly clinging to her pride in front of a bunch of strangers, she'd admit she just wants someone to hang out with.
She misses him a lot, today.]
((ooc: feel free to respond to her video, spot her around the city, or if you're one of her roommates, engage with her there!))

video > action!
I'm in spire three right now! I'll come down and meet you guys outside it!
[And she's off, racing down and not waiting to hear Kain's response.]
video -> Action
Come on, it will be fun. And I hope you're ready to carry me too to spire three because I'm not exactly the fastest runner of the city. You wouldn't disappoint two pretty ladies, would you?
[Was it already enstablished that sh likes to make fun of him, right?]
Action
[He's very unsure about this idea... at first. But as he quietly considers it... he wonders, what harm could really come of it at all?]
No, of course I don't want to be a disappointment. I'm willing to try it. I don't carry others often, but... it's definitely possible.
[He glances upward, then back toward Ellie.] It's more impressive in a real sky, of course, but we'll deal with what we have.
no subject
Piggyback ride sky jumping time! And... please, Kain, if you're afraid to be too heavy you can just leave the armor behind. You know, using normal, common clothes...
[Look at her smirk, she would definitely like that. Rydia smiles widely while rolling her eyes and crossing her arm.] Don't listen to him, it's going to be amazing- instead of thinking about the lack of the real sky think about the positive things of jumping around here. [She points a finger up to the ceiling] If you jump high enough you can almost touch those stars, from up above you can look at the city in it's whole beauty and appreciate its small lights and shadows, you can still feel the wind and the speed of the jumps and you can visit places you've never seen before- it's going to be great!
[And she's going to stay right there, on the floor, because you have to fight to convince her to do something similar] Are you ready... Oh, right. I'm Rydia, what is your name?
no subject
No, no, I'm positive it's gonna be awesome! Dude, don't sell this short. Holy shit. [She grins at Kain and Rydia, and claps her hands together.] I'm ready! Uh, I'm Ellie! I'm Ellie, and I'm ready!
no subject
[Kain is all intense and serious as he says this, it's just his way, though. He sighs, glancing over at Rydia. She has a way of getting enthusiastic about things... but... it's not a bad thing at all, really, is it? She's trying to give them some sort of fun in this place.]
I should be able to do it just fine in my armor, I can guarantee that. I've lifted plenty of things into the sky before.
[He glances at Ellie again now.]
Let's try this... if you'll come over here. [He makes to prepare for a piggyback ride, moving to bend just so, so that she can climb onto his back.] Be sure to hold on securely. It's... faster than you might think.
no subject
I love your enthusiasm, girl! Make sure you keep a strong grip around his neck and just enjoy your ride in the sky.
[The summoner crosses her arms, waiting for them to jump away. She's going to wait there, happily waiting with her feet on the ground.]
Now... have a good time you two. I will just sit here and wait until you're back. I could actually prepare some tea or something but just... go and have fun.
no subject
[Maybe there should be something awkward about immediately getting a piggyback from someone you've just met, but Ellie is already clambering up onto Kain's back as Rydia speaks. She doesn't take their warnings lightly, and holds on super tightly. Falling from the top of the cave isn't what she's here to do.
Ellie does let go again for just a moment though- to flash Rydia a thumbs up.]
I seriously owe you. Let's do this!!
no subject
We'll be back in a moment. [Then he returns his attention toward Ellie.] Ready? Then... here we go!
[To Kain, it's like second nature, jumping off from the ground into the sky. It barely seems to take him effort at all as he launches himself upward. They ascend very rapidly, going as high as they can manage before almost reaching the height of the cave itself. It almost seems they'll hit the ceiling, but Kain is ready... and he's got much more control over himself in the air than that.]
[Swiftly, he flips around to start descending, bringing them back downward...]
no subject
Kain, take all the time, you two are supposed to go and have fun... [She crosses her arms, offering an half smug grin to the younger woman] It's mutual, Ellie, the alternative was staying at home, bored, this way we're all doing something cool, right? And you gave me a great reason to call Kain between other people so, well, I owe you one.
Go and have fun!
[A thumb up in return and she just... steps back, waiting for them to be done, no matters how long it'll take.]
no subject
The entire time they ascend, Ellie is just shrieking, arms almost painfully tight around Kain. She finds her smile somewhere around the time they reach near the top of the cave, and on the way back down, she's whooping and laughing far more, clearly without any worries as to who can hear.]
no subject
Kain is basically a human carnival ride.]What do you think? Did you enjoy that?
[He’s willing to go for it again, of course, but may as well find out first and foremost what she thinks.]
