Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mimi was now standing in the garage of Balamb Garden, a ring of keys twirling around her finger. In her dormitory room, on her desk, the folder that the headmaster lay. She had no need for it now that she had throughly gone over it. After all, she knew who it was she was looking for. Stolling through the garage, she stopped next to a rather large and very sturdy looking vehicle colored a dark titanium gray. It was one of the largest transport vehicles open for recreational use and the headmaster had given her permission.

Unlocking a side panel, she pulled the door open above her and stepped in. Pulling it back down from the inside, she walked through the passenger room, where bench seats lined the two walls and made her way to the driver's section. Slipping into the seat, she inserted the key - which was morel like a card, really - and pulled out of the garage. It was a cool night, and Mimi wished that she could open some window to let in the fresh crisp air. Considering that it was the middle of summer, it was rather warm outside. The drive to Deling didn't take long, at least not on the main roads. If she had to go off-road, well, that would have been another matter.

Deling was lit brightly, the town's people had strung lights all across the streets and the stores and markets were still open. As Mimi parked the vehicle, she stepped back into the passenger section and checked one of the closets. Inside there was a rather large sword with a hook for the handle. It almost looked like a gunblade, but the handle of the blade was not furnished quite the same. Leaving the blade, she stepped out of the car and locked the door. People were strolling happily through the town, and hopefully none of them would recognize her as a SeeD member. After all, she wasn't wearing the uniform and the vehicle had no SeeD or Balamb insignia plastered on it. With her hands jammed into the pockets of her shorts, Mimi began strolling the streets of Deling, checking people's faces as she made her way towards the dock, with a hope that perhaps she would run into them.

Isaac had nodded to Rainer as she went into her room. He flicked the card out of his pocket and swiped it through the lock. Afterward fwiping it across the room as he entered. It hit the wall and fell neatly onto a table. "Too bad I always try to travel light..." Isaac didn't actually have another set of clothes. So after his very quick shower he washed them in a sink. He ruffled his hair like he usually did, so it was in its normal state of untidy. He picked the keycard up from the table and laid his sword where it once was. He rummaged through the pouch at his lower back and heard his knives and gil jingle. He slammed the door as he turned and raced out of the room. He straightened his personal jacket and checked to make sure the Esther SeeD insignia on the inside. He stepped out of the elevator to find Rainer already waiting. “Sorry, there was something I had to do…” He said really not hoping to have to explain further.

In all actuality, James didn't have any errands to run. He was following a gut feeling that he had picked up on his way to Deling City. His guess was that someone would pick them up, them being himself, Rainer, and Isaac. It would be someone from Balamb, obviously, but who was the question. He had been through Deling at all times of the day searching for some kind of sign, but he wasn't able to find anything. However was looking for him was doing a good job of hiding it.

"Whoever the Balamb Messenger is, they don't want to be found out." James said to himself, heading away from the docks. The evening would roll in soon, and so he figured he had best head back to the hotel. Unknowingly he actually passed Mimi, the one that he was indeed looking for, while he was talking to himself on the return trip, "I hope I find them sooner rather than later. That message that Rainer and Isaac have needs to get to Balamb sooner rather than later."

(They're leaving the lobby now...)

Isaac thought for a moment, two of the choices were appealing. "Let's go raid the city, in a good way. I have some spare gil. So maybe we could get some stuff too." Isaac was one of the few males you would find that find shopping interesting. He always liked new stuff.

((what they're at the lobby..?!))

The woman who faced her was quite shocked and told her "Miss I think the one you were looking for just left a few minutes ago you can still chase them, i think. I'm the houskeeper of this room"
"Thank you Mam" she answered and runs again hoping to still find them in the lobby. As soon as she reached the ground floor she saw a guy together with a girl who exactly fits the description the headmaster gave her and they were about to leave, she runs and catches up with them
"Escuse me, Are you Ms. Rainer de Weistrasse?" she asked while catching her breath.

Rainer nodded at Isaac.
"That sounds great," and indeed, it did. Though Rainer didn't get out often, she still loved to go around looking for new things. Just as they were about to leave, a young woman came up to them, looking for Rainer.
Rainer frowned. The girl was probably about a year or two younger than her, with long black hair like Rainer's.
"Why, yes, I am Rainer. Who are you?"

A small smirk spread across Mimi's features as she listened to the man. He knew what he was doing, and he had a rather confident air about him . . . something that Mimi respected. She was about to suggest they go somewhere else, but he beat her to it. With a nod, she followed him, an eyebrow raised as they passed the Arch of Deling.

As she followed him to a secondary door, she shook her head. Very few people knew about it. She climbed a ladder to the top and when the reached it, she found a spot to lean against, her arms crossed over her chest in a rather lax manner.

"It's fine," she replied. "Personally, I would rather keep this secretive than have to deal with eavesdropping Galbadian's later. I know who you are, James. Your headmaster sent your files, along with Rainer's, Beatriz's, and Isaac's." She sighed and ran her fingers through stray strands of hair. "I hear tell that the Galbadian Army is on the move again. And after sixty years . . . well, we shall see where this gets us. By the way, the name's Mimi. I work at Balamb Garden, as I'm sure you know already." She held her hand out in polite respect as she introduced herself to James.
