There was a loud bang and suddenly the painted skies of Paixao began to crack. Angels and clouds separated from the mural they had once been apart of and began to fell to the earth, crushing anyone and anything they managed to land on.

They were the first, but they certainly weren't the last.

"Keep moving, don't stop here!" Guy's encouragement was in a particularly serious tone this time, as he waved bystanders on. His sword and sheath were in hand, and Jade's spell was the only thing that broke his concentration.

He watched as the piece of ceiling was flung to the side with ease, his eyes widening a little as he saw the foundation of the building it collided with begin to shake... "JADE!" he yelled, "It's going to collapse, we need to get out of here!"

[necrofonic]

He didn't need to be told twice. Moving far quicker than he'd ever admit to being capable of, he scooped up an injured woman who had fallen and leapt away from the falling building. "Guy!" he called, running toward him. "Catch!"

And then he tossed the woman at Guy, turning and lifting his spear once more. "Ground Dasher!" The earth beneath the cobblestones cracked, sending up jagged pillars of stone just as the building sagged toward them. Those who weren't able to move fast enough shrieked and fell to the ground, but thanks to the careful execution of the arte, the pieces of summoned rock shielded the townsfolk from the falling debris as well as supporting the building from falling further.

"Huh?" he turned just in time to see a body being flung towards him. Was that... Oh god, Jade why?! A moment of panic set in -- he couldn't just do nothing and let the poor thing land on the ground! But why... why didn't his legs want to move?! Why did his knees only shake in place?

"Hnnngh!!" he Guy squeezed his eyes shut. It was a miracle in itself that he was able to stay standing with his legs trembling the way they were -- "Uwaaaagaghhhh!!" he choked as he felt the lady fall into his outstretched arms -- though as soon as she landed, he dropped her and backed away several feet, his hands over his head.

There was a 'thanks, I guess' sent his way as she rubbed her backside.

"D-d-d-d-d-don't mention it!" he managed through clenched teeth, "Please don't mention it!!"

Those Jade had managed to shield from the falling building now fled away. Jade walked after them, towards Guy. Smiling, he clapped Guy on the back soundly. "Still just as popular with women, I see." The smile faded as he turned and looked back over the city, watching the domes continue to crack and crumble.

"We'll need to rendezvous with the others. Any contact with them on the journals?"

[fontechnology]

His knees were still in a bit of a jelly-like state, so Jade's pat on the back sent in reeling forward more than it normally would have. "N-nothing yet..." he groaned, willing them to stablitize themselves again as he attempted to stand back up straight.

"I'll try again... but next time... maybe try not to throw the bystanders so far, would you?!" Especially the female ones, Jade -- but that went without saying. For some reason though -- the image of the girl falling from above... seemed to stick with him more than previous encounters he'd had with the womanly kind...

[necrofonic]

"I knew you'd be able to catch her," Jade explained simply, heading down the alley. But he watched Guy carefully from the corner of his eye. When they first met up, Guy had mentioned he wasn't from the same point in time as the others. Likely that meant he had no idea what the root of his trauma was. It wasn't for Jade to tell him, of course...but that didn't mean he couldn't try to trigger the memory when the opportunity arose.

"With any luck, Luke will be with Tear. I'd hate to have Luke cause a catastrophe trying to save the day."

and with this, i think we can wrap up their thread here and move on to camp or whatever /o/

[fontechnology]

"He won't," Guy stated firmly. As thought somehow he just knew. The memories of how Luke had been... and how he must have felt... he really was nothing like the way Guy had come accustomed to. It seemed like he really did, and had -- wanted to change.

"Come on, we're almost there!"
