Seph smirked relaxing a little on Chobi allowing her to fly as she pleased "I told you I was that more awesome than the gria but how about we let Chobi have a little wander so long as she stays roughly in the right directiom since I think she's been incredibly bored in all the stables" she decided playfully hitting Itaka with her tail.
Hebal yawned jumping on the top of the airship to get a good look around "Theres an esculator thingy going down not far from here, get them with the advanced technology" she giggled jumping down next to Mari "There won't be any clubs open at this time of day but we can always go around asking people which are the awesome ones plus where we can find a fabric shop"
Alpha smiled reaching for a draw finding himself a padlock "I don't see why you can't have that room so long as you keep it clean. Unless Hayate has any objections to it then its yours and you can decide on how you want it decorated" he decided dearching for the key to go with the lock.

Felina frowned dispelling the float spell noticing Boco's reaction the magic "We could just run after that small crows I guess, maybe they know how we are meant to get by around here. I'm sorry Jenna I didn't think Boco would be so disturbed by the float effect" she quietly apologised feeling her face turn bright red.
Satoshi nodded looking around trying to work out what the thing known as an esculator was "Yeah it's going to be crowded with spectators and competitors rushing about trying to get to the arena. What I meant was its a place where loads of airships can just park and go do their own thing" she explained to Gil patting his armor "You'll be able to get loads of souvenirs here since its a big event... maybe a Gil or Itaka action figure or something if they do well" she joked.
Hayate shrugged glancing out the window at the other members of their group "Nah I don't have any objections to Barbaros having the room, means I can get more space to hang my clothes up and stuff and could maybe turn the bed over to make a table" he pondered considering the possbilities.

Oassu smiled seeing Boco calm down "Yeah they must have methods somehow for us tourists" he said watching Jenna reassure Boco who kwehhed quietly in relief "He's alright but he's not used to stuff like that probably just scared him a little" Jenna said.
Gil chuckled "I don't think we'll be that popular but if there is something made I'll get a deal with the merchandisers so that you get loads of free stuff little man" he patted Zadina on the head before moving after the crowd of Viera.
Barbaros chuckled "Thats good I'll get the room and set up some stuff, I can give the scrap metal to Hebal to work on armour with" he said to Hayate thinking of the customisations he could make
Itaka smiled "Hey easy with the tail there Seph, don't make me get out my own tail" he warned her kissing her wings before looking around "I wonder if Chobi likes it up here with all the other fliers, you could too, should feel at home in the skies." he said
Mari nodded "Must've had some help from those technological moogles but whats an escalator?" she asked Hebal examining weird mobile stairs "I just hope all the clubs and shops aren't in really hard to reach places" she said.
Zadina giggled "Thanks Sir Gil thats awesome stuff," he said excitedly "I hope you do get an action figure but they'd need to do some serious work to get action figures of you and Itaka in such short times" he said

Seph paused sliding off Chobi then flew back up to the same level as her and Itaka "well actually... I've been grounded so long that the skies don't really seen like they are my place anymore. It feels quite weird being in the air again but I bet Chobi is loving the freedom to fly around as it must be the first time in like forever since she last did" she answered headbutting her chocobo.
Hebal laughed jumping on the mobile stairs allowing them to take her up to the top level "Come on and jump on guys, it won't make anything bad happen for this is what you call an esculator" she shouted down to them going back down to get her friends despite the machine going upwards "Hehe it's actually kinda kun to go up down the up esculator"
Alpha sighed sticking the padlock over the door then locked it up "You can decide what you want doing to your room later Hayate, if that gets sorted out it will be last. First though I am going to find a decorater but you guys are more than welcome to join me if you wish" he yawned grabbing a quick snack from the fridge.

Felina smiled weakly suddenly noticing Hebal on the esculator in the distence "I'm glad Boco is alright and if it makes you feel better I think I just found the pedestrian ways up and down" she answered indicating to the esculators in the distence "It looks like we are going to be doing lots of stair climbing today" she sighed unaware of the mechanical parts.
Satoshi hesitated for a moment before cautiously stepping onto the esculator "Well this is a strange mechanical device... not sure I like it" she muttered joining Hebal's step "Maybe there will be a nice Mari doll or action figure and you would be surprised how easy things can be made with a little help from magic and jutsu. Most merchandice will be cheap touristy things though" she complained.
Hayate sighed moving away to the ramp "Meh I may as well stick around, it's not like I have anything to do plus I can speak grian so I can probably help you out finding a decorator. And I wasn't going to just move everything around with no thought whatsoever, anyway I bet Hebal wouldn't say no to some scrap metal so long as its good quality"

Oassu chuckled "Yeah good though I'm surprised hey have such measures in place, maybe they are temporary things for the tournament since Gria don't need them at all times" he said squinting at the stairs "And they are escalators so you don't need to worry about climbing if you don't want to" he said
Gil smiled chuckling as he stepped on it "It's not so bad but you don't have to like it still this is a Gria city, most inhabitants fly its fortunate they bothered with these at all." he said frowning as he looked at the endless sky below "I'm more concerned about the height, I hope they have other safety measures in place" he murmered whistling Enkidu along.
Barbaros nodded "That will help but why not get some Bangaa to do it, I hear they are good hard workers provided they get their money" he said
Itaka smiled gripping on as Chobi kwehhed happily and flew after Seph headbutting her "I don't think we're going anywhere Chobi just thinks this is a game you know" he said "Still you best get used to flying, I want it to be awesome like the old days for you" he said clinging onto Chobi's reigns.
Mari giggled watchin Hebal "Don't be so silly Hebal don't want you tripping up plus your not really going anywhere" she said letting Sophia baffle at the moving floor.
Zadina nodded "And if my understanding of business is correct you get a dividend of all sales of figurines in your likeness I think" he told Gil and Satoshi "I bet you can buy lotsa stuff with the money you'll make" he said.

Seph laughed hovering beside Itaka "You know it could never truely be like the old days... that much has happened people have come and gone and all. So I just see it as new days and opportunities if you get what I am saying but I bet you don't mind if I play with chobi for a while since we are up here right?" she asked zooming forward sticking her tongue out at Chobi to initiate a race with the bird.
Hebal laughed skipping over a step "Well hurry up and get to the top with us... also check out the view below us, it's so wooooow" she gasped peeking over the side at the sky and clouds below them "That cloud looks like a birdie!" she cheered before tripping up on the top of the esculator and falling flat on her face.
Alpha rushed around putting as much of the food away as possible except for a bunch of broken windows which he took to the exit and threw outside "Bangaa would be good for the manual labour but they are tourists too and it would be extremely good luck if I were to stumble across a bangaa plumbcer in the city but since when could you soeak grian? You kept that quiet" he added to Hayate.

Felina paused giving a Oassu a puzzled look before pulling him closer to the way up by the hand "Umm... I don't mean to sound annoying and it may be a stupid question but what is an esculator and how is it different to stairs? " she asked him giving Zadina unsure he would notice because of the distence apart.
Satoshi frowned hopping off the top of the esculator to help Heal to her feet "Are you ok there? You need to pay more attention to the path ahead even if the clouds are pretty" she sighed patting her friend's ear "I don't think I want to test for any extra safety precautions but if you want me to earn me a nice bit of money all of you could always buy some of my art or request I make you a nice item of clothing" she added admiring Gil in his armor.
Hayate shrugged "I am sure I told you I spoke the language... I did tell about half the group I could anyway. But there could be a place where they have bangaa in this city, I mean from what I heared there is a whole moogle area and they tend to be less common. Won't hurt to ask around" he told them optimistically.

Oassu smiled "You'll see whats so special about them once we get there, but it'll save you a bit of effort climbing up stairs" he said following Gil's group up ahead.
Mari gasped skipping to help Hebal up and to the side away from the escalator rubbing her toes "Oh are you ok? That looked like such a nasty fall" she said stroking her friends ears while Sophia waddled over mimicing Mari with a foot massage.
Gil frowned kneeling down "I don't think you'll need us to buy them, you could set up a stall here and I'm sure folk would like your art and clothes, I'll help you set up something for tommorow if you want" he offered to Satoshi before patting Hebal's leg "Everything ok? Nothing broken or sprained?" he enquired as Enkidu joined them.
Barbaros shook his head "Yeah well moogles are the closest allies of Gria seeing how they fly and things it's only natural theres some moogle sectors Bangaa are generally land creatures I hear it messes with their snouts if they are too high up I expect we'll only see the ones here for the tournament" he said.
Itaka chuckled "I don't have a choice," he said gripping Chobi's reins "But no I'm fine with it, at least you are happy flying again thats all thats important to me" he said.
Zadina gasped skipping up the last few stairs to see Hebal "Hey Miss Hebal are you ok?" he asked instantly casting cure on her "That was a super nasty fall and I promised Amane I'd protect you so please be careful" he said worried about Hebal.

Hebal groaned looking down at her foot "My toes really hurt, as does my hand but I can move everything easy enough so no need to worry guys, I'm ok" she reassured them sucking on her bleeding finger "I toally forgot you had to mind the step but we could easily set up a clothes or art stall and sell your stuff and I bet we could get somebody famous or at least the press to help promore it a little" she grinned stroking Sophia with her foot.
Seph snickered slowing down a little so Chobi could catch up "Sure I am happy and I guess your right about not having a choice. You'll just have to put up with our little game for now and maybe later I'll find a way to make it up to you, I have some stuff in my bag you might like" she told him before zooming ahead of Chobi again taunting her.
Alpha smiled scratching his head "We might not be able to find a bangaa plumber but a moogle one would be just as good if not better because of their major experience with machines. Now you two clear off outside so I can lock the airship up" he instructed somewhat impatiently.

Satoshi smiled removing a plaster from her pocket "Here put this on and then you'll get better faster" she told Hebal handing it over "We don't have time to set up a stall because we will be busy fighting people remember, and I bet the legendary hero Gilgamesh would much rather spend his spare time training. Though you are more than welcome to sell some of my unwanted dresses and pictures if you wanted but you need to have fun too" she smiled patting Hebal's shoulder.
Felina nodded examining the stairs ahead trying to work out what makes them so special "Hmm.... do these esculator things cast a spell on you to make you able to climb them faster? These people are all moving up at a high speed" she quietly asked before letting out a small gasp once she could see it properly "Is it safe to use this machine thing?"
Hayate raised his eyebrow at Alpha stepping out side as he was requested to "Now thats unusual, it's not like you to be all impatient but I have one more question about the decorating. Could we get another couch for the airship, theres not enough room for people to sit down in that area anymore" he suddenly remembered.

Gil smiled "I'm sure you can sell your outfits easily might need to customise them a little for Gria but at an event this big with a little help from us we can get it up and running besides it'l only be small fries tommorow" he said.
Oassu chuckled "Its not a spell just mechanics it's safe" he said smiling at Felina's surprise "Impressive isn't it?" he said "See the others are using it too they are ok" he said seeing Boco kweh uncertain of the escalator.
Barbaros chuckled "Hey I'm eager to get to the city too, it'll have allsorts going on on the opening day of the ceremony celebrations and everything, though it's only warm up bouts today" he said patting Hayate on the back.
Mari smiled seeing Sophia hug Hebal's foot before helping her up "You gonna be ok Hebal?" she said scooping Sophia up again "Maybe Sophia will learn some awesome medical stuff too." she said "But yeah Hebal could help you set up a stall easily!" she said
Zadina nodded "Yeah I'd help too with my magic, I think I have a super spell or two to help you out with stuff you know" he said happily wanting to help casting cure on Hebal again.
Itaka smiled "Thats fine just don't knock me off Chobi" he told gripping on as Chobi zoomed after Seph trying to headbutt her "And what kinda stuff in your bag?" he asked.

Seph shrugged diving down towards the lower buildings "I dunno. I have lots and lots of stuff in my bag I have collected over the years so theres bound to be something inside you might like if you have a good rummage around" she called to him landing briefly to buy herself a hotdog and allow Chobi to catch up.
Hebal smiled at Zadina greatful for the cure spell "Yeah I am ok thanks so stop worrying and be happy" she reassured Zadina picking him up and placing him on her shoulders "When it's not the small fries up in the arena me and Zadina would be great at selling stuff, I have an awesome selling style and he has the magic to make sure everything is running soon, maybe Sophia could help too and we'll make an awesome team" she cheered giving everyone a high five including Ivy.
Alpha nodded locking up the airship before pushing the ramp up "Ahh yeah the couch is a little small isnt it and I bet the stools aint too comfortable but you know what tournament opening days mean don't you? Lots of freebes and discount coupons at all kinds of shops!" he stated striding forwards.

Felina hesitated continuing to watch the esculator in aazement "Yeah I guess it must be quite safe for the others to be using it but I wouldn't day it's impressive, just really reallt weird" she answered cautiously tap the side of the esculator "Did you have these things in Agralia to know what they are"
Satoshi smiled high fiving Hebal back "Aww well thanks guys, I'll have to go back to the airship later and decide whats for sale then but.... I don't know how much things would go for so maybe it would be best to either auction stuff or give it no set price" she muttered glancing around at the buildings and shops a little way ahead of them "Do you guys think I'll be able to do ok in the tournament, honestly?"
Hayate rolled his eye following Alpha unsure where he was going "Don't be such a cheap skate, the free stuff is only there if you sign up to half a million clubs and organisations and with most of them you have to pay a huge amount for membership. Plus theres better things to do than lok for and spend coupons" he answered trying not to laugh at a rich couple posing by their airship

Oassu smiled "Yeah in a few places, the richer districts, they turn them off at night though so if your a thief you gotta walk up em." he said "You never seen something like this before?" he asked her.
Gil smiled high fiving Hebal "Sure that seems a good plan but it'll give you girls something fun to do while the competition is on, unless you want to go climbing all the different layers of this city" he said looking at the bustling activity in they City above them.
Barbaros chuckled "Relax Hayate it's a little bit of fun it sounds like they'll be some cool free stuff but you gotta find some decorators too, Moogles could get the job done so head to the moogle district...if you don't mind the kupoing." he said.
Itaka gripped tightly as Chobi landed running and headbutted Seph once she caught up "I'm sure there is but then again Hayate tells me about biting books and stuff in there so I'm not sure I wanna go rummaging about for just anything" he said.
Mari smiled as Ivy and Sophia high-fived Hebal "I'd totally come visit your shop and everything, I'd bring as many folk as I could to come and see it too but where to now?" she said frowning as she noticed the busy city ahead.
Zadina giggled "Yea my magic can help with lots of things, I could make colourful attractions to draw people to our shop and make little additions to the clothes!" he said
