Day 3 – Arriving in Junon

Reno

Let me give you all a piece of advice, folks: use lube! I can hardly even walk today.

Can you imagine the horror when your so called traveling companion suddenly turns around and starts to kiss you? The few seconds of pure terror when you feel that you're giving in? If you can't, well good for you. I sure as hell can't even begin to describe it. At least I can take some comfort in that at least the bastard is sporting a black eye this morning. Yep, managed to get a good punch in. I'm sure he would have decapitated me, but fortunately Vincent choose that moment to barge into the cabin. I would have kissed him, but considering the situation we're in, I don't think that would have been such a great idea.

So now we're in Junon. Don't know what we're supposed to do here, but we'll figure something out.

Wait a minute, what the hell was that? Some short and chubby blond guy just ran past us, screaming something about a "Ban-chan" and "Akabane is scary". A/N: OMG!11! Ginji is sooo kawaii and Akabane is just teh HOTT!111!eleventyone! And there we have the voice again. Thankfully it doesn't seem to concern us this time.

Hold on… That's a first. The only time I've ever heard the voice is when it's been about me. I have to talk to the others about this.

This is indeed unusual. We all heard that voice, even though it doesn't concern us at all. Instead, it seems to have something to do with that little blond man that just ran past us. So the question is: why did we hear it? It also mentioned two persons. I am assuming that one of them is that little man. Akabane or Ginji. But since he himself mentioned Akabane, he has to be the later. So then I just wonder… who is Akabane? Ginji, if that is his name, seemed terrified of him.

Perhaps you are wondering why I am giving this so much thought. Well, the simple reason is that I do not thing that anything concerning the voice is coincidental. There has to be a reason why we heard it this time.

Now, Ginji did mention someone or something else. "Ban-chan". Perhaps this is another piece of the puzzle. I think it is, so now we just have to hut down these three pieces.

We have just had a little meeting out here on the street. Sephiroth thinks that we should hunt down that blond man, and I agree with him. Reno, on the other hand, does not. Probably just because it was Sephiroth who said it. They haven't quite gotten along since last nights incident. Perhaps this will teach them to listen to me.

Anyway, we agreed on a compromise; we track down that man and then go to a bar to talk to him. Reno agreed just because of the possibility of alcohol I imagine.

So then I guess we'd better move. That blond fellow already had quite a good head start.

Ah, finally! Right now, I'm sitting in the bar at our in downtown Junon with a beer in one hand and a smoke in the other. Oh, and that blond dude, Ginji, is sitting in front of me.

We had a bit of trouble finding him. We were looking for a midget more or less, but suddenly the guy is taller than I am. He's just about up there with Sephiroth. I don't get it. He shifts shape every now and then.

So here's how we eventually found him. We had searched just about all over town when this guy dressed in a black suit and coat came up to us. He had the creepiest smile I have ever seen and asked if we had seem a blond man in green shorts and a white t-shirt somewhere. The description did fit our target, but… naah, we hadn't seen him.

After he left, we heard strange noises from a garbage-can right next to us. So yours truly lifts up the lid, and what do I find? The cutest thing EVER staring up at me. "Please sir, don't let him find me. Help me find my Ban-chan." That's what he said. And who could say no to those puppy-eyes. Aww, I just wanna hold him and hug him into tiny little pieces!

Ahem, sorry 'bout that.

So we still agreed to find this "Ban-chan". Apparently, it's his partner. He told us a little about this Akabane-fella as well. It was that guy dressed in black. He seems to be some kind of enemy to Ginji and Ban-chan.

But now our present mission is clear: find Ban-chan and help Ginji stay the hell away from Akabane.
