........Wait, what? [active/open]

Characters:  Akutare, anyone else?
Content:  Confused Akutare is confused and entering Paixao
Setting:  Niflheim Gate
Time:  Late Afternoon
Warnings: None

Oho, this was a happy day indeed for the Dark Hero!  No more accusations of being dead for him, nope!  He had something that the network wanted, and once he gave it to them (under his own terms, of course) he was back in business!  Movie deals!  Record deals!  Stardom off the charts once again!  He'd be a household name!  Nnnnnot that he wasn't a household name already, but he'd be so famous he'd be one all over again!

Akutare definitely had a spring in his step as he strolled along.   Ma wouldn't have to worry anymore.  He'd show her that he was still alive and they could get money again!  They'd never have to worry about money again!  She'd be so proud...  And when he saw his little brothers again, they could have a big party in his honor with cake and confetti and everything else that went into a good celebration.

So close...  Almost there...  It was just another left at this strange golden tree and--

Strange golden tree?  Since when were there strange golden trees in here?  Akutare went over to curiously poke at the plant.   Yep, real gold.  You didn't see that every day.  Well...  As long as it was just sitting there...  They could always use a little more money.  Maybe he could pawn off this tree someplace.  He snatched a few leaves and continued on (like anyone would miss them anyway), the change in surroundings not quite registering until he hit the line.

"Wow, must be busy...  Hey, Director, how long do you think this line is?" Akutare asked, frowning when he didn't get an answer.  "...Director?"  He turned around and didn't see anyone.  Huh, he must've run off to go to the bathroom or something.

The line went faster than expected, and he soon found himself at the front.  "Can I have your name, please?" the gatekeeper asked.

"You don't recognize me?  Oh well...  You probably see tons of schmucks trying to imitate me come on through here...  But don't worry, I'm the real Dark Hero Akutare!" he announced, grinning wildly.

The gatekeeper was far less impressed than Akutare would have liked, simply nodding her head and jotting the name down.  "Welcome to Paixao!  Please take this complimentary journal and enjoy your stay," she said, handing the purple device over along with a few pamphlets.

"Um.... thanks?" Akutare wasn't sure how to reply, simply taking the offered items and heading inside.  It was then that everything began to sink in.

"Wait...  Paixao?  Then this isn't the studio?"

With the influx of monsters swarming the city, Setzer had decided that it would probably be for the best to stick to manning the gates for the time being. While he could defend himself if he had to this was one hand he'd gladly sit out.

Besides, it kept him out of the way of Kefka and whatever trouble the man was likely to be causing. A pair of Returners - not that he'd seen Locke terribly recently - wasn't likely to be as useful against the man as he'd like. Besides, the Falcon had really been his best contribution to the little band and she wasn't here.

Besides it was interesting out here, with all the newcomers filtering in and he'd always been willing to watch as people passed by.

"It's where we are," Setzer answered, rather matter-of-factly. Okay, so maybe it wasn't exactly the most helpful of answers, but it was an answer nonetheless. What one made out of the hand you'd been dealt very from person to person after all and far be it for him to try and guess both cards and play style. Or at least not until he knew the person better than he knew this guy.

"It's an island," he added on after a moment of thought. "And I rather doubt it's part of wherever you came from."

The rest depended on what he'd make of it.

"No boats that I'm aware of, at least. And no airships either." If there hadn't been the domes, Setzer wouldn't have been surprised to see at least some form of airship. Hell, if there'd been a sky and airships he'd have jumped at the chance to get his hands on one even if it hadn't been quite the same as the Falcon. He'd been grounded for far longer than he really liked already and well, he didn't see much to imply that that would change anytime soon.

"Seems this is one hand we can't deal out of so easily."

What did he do? That was a question that could and often did have any number of answers, depending on just what he was up to at any given moment. Of course, he wasn't going to admit to all of them just at the drop of a hat. A man had to keep his cards close to his chest if he wanted to have any hope of winning.

"Oh, a bit of this and a bit of that. I'm something of a wanderer, you see."

Even if he didn't have his wings at the moment.

"I'm afraid not." Why would he have? Admittedly, he was a man of the skies and had been pretty nearly everywhere there was to be on his world, but unless he was very much mistaken the odds were good that wherever Akutare had come from it wasn't The World of Ruin.

And since it seemed like introductions were in order...

"Setzer, the Wandering Gambler."

What was there to do? Not nearly enough to keep Setzer as occupied as he'd like and far too little to do with the sky.

"It depends on what games you deal into," he answered. "But if you ask me there isn't quite enough to stave off boredom sometimes."

Admittedly his tendencies to prefer wandering over staying in one place didn't help but still it was all he could do to find things to capture his interest sometimes.

Well, if there were any casinos around Setzer certainly hadn't found them, and he'd done more than a little bit of looking. But he didn't mind too much. That was only one of the variety of games he was willing to play after all.

Admittedly the rest hadn't proven to particularly easy to find either, but he wasn't about to let that stop him. At least so far. Boredom was much more of a threat here than anywhere else he'd been.

"There's something for everyone, it seems."

Setzer just smiled at that. Then again, smiling was more or less his default expression so perhaps it was more appropriate to say his expression didn't change.

"I'm afraid you'll have to forgive me for not joining you. My game is most likely elsewhere."

Elsewhere here having the sense of 'wherever he found it' but he would hardly do to admit to having nothing to do when bowing out of something. At least, not if one wanted to keep some semblance of politeness.
