A. Waking Up/The Other Heroes

"That's very nice and all, but I have places to be right now, and none of those include here. I'm sure these other Heroes you got here will do the job just fine." The middle-aged man stood back up after kneeling and listening to the young Moogle.

"Kupo. You don't really have a choice." Annie crossed her arms and continued staring at the man. "You're stuck here until whatever brought you takes you back." She's heard from the other Moogles about some very reluctant heroes. She was prepared for this.

Mordecai gave a knowing chuckle. "No problem there, Miss. I got my own methods. Step back, please." He turned around and stood still for a second.

Nothing happened.

"Huh. Shoulda worked. Maybe..." he mumbled to himself as he stretched his arms out. "This should-wait a minute." Angry, he spun around in place. "Why isn't-?!"

"...Mister. What are you doing?"

"Tryin' to get home, that's what!" This time, he walked to the most open area in the temple, stood with his feet wide apart, and stretched his arms as far as he could, facing the sky. He remained in that position for another minute.

B. Around Trano Golsaucia

It was an uneventful, though cold, walk through the snow, which Barkeep was thankful for, seeing that he had no weapons nor powers with him. To add to that, Annie explained that the "Jobs" he was given were practically useless for combat. One focused on healing, and the other didn't work without a Crystal of Illusion. Trouble was just waiting to happen.

Trano Golsaucia was certainly larger than the town back home, and a lot more energetic. Aqures Ixen could wait. Barkeep wandered between the Triper Triad Center, the Casino, and the Mini-Game area, admiring the events but taking no part in them. He was not a gambling man, he assured his Moogle repeatedly.

Later, Annie mentioned the theater district, to which he replied, "Now that's a place I'd want to be."

"They don't have a show today, but there's probably a rehearsal going on, kupo."

"Not a problem. As long as we're not causin' folks trouble, they won't kick us out." With that, he headed straight towards the building.

"Wait, I don't think they let in anyone-" it was too late. Barkeep was dead set on listening in.
