Characters: Fran, open!
Setting: Various.
Format: Action or prose, I am cool with either.
Summary: Fran goes cruisin' for her partner in crime.
Warnings: None atm!
Around the dormitories
It was like Archades, this tower -- at least, these floors -- densely populated, naught but a faint irritant to her senses. Her ears and nose had acclimatized to so great an increase in population years ago already.
Dulled, Jote had said. Reluctantly, Fran had to agree.
Her heels click against the flooring, cautious, but unafraid. As with all infrastructures made with humes in mind, she must dip through doorways to avoid clipping her ears against the frame. No matter. She was long accustomed to that, too.
Behind her thick ponytail rests the Fomalhault, unloaded, easily accessible. If trouble stirred, magick would be her first choice. Fran does not care for the sound of a gunshot in a small, enclosed area. It made her ears ring.
To those with idle hands, she asks, "Have you seen a man in a golden vest? He fancies himself the leading man, and would introduce himself as such."
Floor 20/21
She moves past the restaurant, intending to return to it later. Now, she stands on the stone ramp, assessing the area. Grey fog surrounds the tower, a suffocating presence, denser than any mist she had ever seen. For a fleeting second, anxiety pierces her heart. This isolation, this lack of mist -- for the first time in her life, Fran feels truly alone.
Her hair shifts lazily with the breeze, and she calms. Balthier's scent had yet to turn up and she knew that he would not be wasting his time out here. Fran turns around and makes her way back to the restaurant.
Floor 1
Fran is walking through the kitchen, surveying the stocked goods with a lifted brow. She flicks her long nails at a few canned goods, as if to test their authenticity. She casts a glance over to those eating their meals, a subtle resignation in their shoulders, even if they did not outwardly appear defeated.
Balthier had not been here, either.
It is entirely possible that he had not survived the Bahamut's fall. While Fran is willing to accept this, she would not do so prematurely. Each floor demands her attention before a verdict was made.
Her stomach, too, demands attention. She ignores it for now. Oatmeal is not high on her list of desirable edibles, though she has survived on worse.

She wonders what sort. She wonders what it does. She wonders if she could...
...and then Tara realizes that she's eyeing Fran like a junkie after her next fix, and draws sharply back as though she'd been smacked.

She isn't sure why she was surprised. Perhaps she was just looking for something a bit less big and impossible to be surprised at. Or perhaps bunny girls were a concept slightly harder to grasp than she'd thought.

"Why?"

"It's just...n-not many people can use magic, back home. Not...really. S-Sometimes they can fake it, but it's supposed to be s-something you're born with. A-And it's mostly humans. Demons d-don't really have it. I guess they...don't really need it."
It doesn't occur to her to say anything other than "demon". Nonhuman things that aren't vampires are demons. They might have their own specific names, but they all share the same umbrella.
no subject
A world in which magick was restricted... Would it be safer? No. Humes were incredibly creative in their inventions of new ways to wage war against another.
And of humes, she had her partner of one to find, if he was in the tower at all.
Fran rolls her shoulders, then says, "I must continue searching for my companion. I will speak with you later, Tara."
no subject
It wasn't exactly a pleasant reunion, but Tara at least has a friend from home in the tower. She can at least hope the same for everyone else.
Tara gives Fran a little wave and continues on down the hallway in the opposite direction.
