Unfortunately, mishap or not, getting trapped in a room full of pods overnight isn't going to have put them in people's good books. Although, could've been worse.
except, shu's not actually at the bar, which is surprising given that the idea of everyone knowing what's going on inside his head makes his skin want to crawl straight off his body.
he's just sat on one of the leather couches, with his head back against the cushions, eyes closed. if he doesn't perceive dion, maybe dion won't be able to perceive apparently everything going on in his head at random intervals. right now he's just projecting that same air of discomfort and unease, but mixed into a strange amount of calm. ]
[ food court. it had to be the food court as soon as i saw it has those little robots.
shu's leaning back in his chair -- a little too far, you know those kids who lean back on two legs and then fall over at school? he's doing something like that, just not so far that gravity takes over and tells him to suffer. for a moment, it might not be clear what he's looking at
but then one of those cat robot servers rolls into view, winking a pixelated eye and waving a paw when it realises it's been watching. ]
[ i just think it would be funny if they got trapped in the laundry room, now they finally have it. maybe they were doing some laundry. maybe shu was doing some laundry and dion was confused by modern technology.
but when shu goes to try the door, it does not open. ]
[ Say hello to the tram station. But not for long! Why did I even bother picking a location? Anyway, a rift appears around both Dion and Shu.
Welcome to the Hideaway.
You don't mean to eavesdrop, certainly not on a private conversation between the Phoenix and his brother, but you know they consider you down and out for the count since Ifrit had taken Bahamut's light from you, and you cannot allow that to stand. There is only one thing left in this world that you desire, and it's being kept at Origin.
There is nothing left for you here. Not your family, not your country. You have betrayed them both, and where Phoenix raises his concerns, you see only a beautiful promise.
Your life is secondary to your atonement, and if you meet your end in the battle to come, then you cannot imagine a more fitting end to your story. ]
[ THE FACT THIS IS CALLED 'MOVE I'M GAY' ilu spoon.
...
he's really having to reckon with so much magical stuff while he's here, it's genuinely funny. he could barely reckon with what teuta claimed she could do and now he's in another man's memories, watching people speak of eikons and flying, and other words that don't have any meaning to him but seem to hold something special for them.
his world has been broadened, in a very, very strange way. ]
...
Did you go to that fight? Have a word with that Ultima you mentioned?
[ i hope so much that shu's about to walk into the resort and see dion on a lounger with cucumbers over his eyes and a face mask on or something because god knows he deserves a break. ]
weekend 0, saturday, titan's call

It appears our first night here was truly an unfortunate mishap.

You don't mean to eavesdrop, certainly not on a private conversation between the Phoenix and his brother, but you know they consider you down and out for the count since Ifrit had taken Bahamut's light from you, and you cannot allow that to stand. There is only one thing left in this world that you desire, and it's being kept at Origin.
So you offer up your wings, and ensure that they cannot reject your offer.
