In Zanarkand

"Hope she just doesn't want to see us," Ingrid said, "I would hate to get there and find that in addition to not wanting to see us, she also wants us dead."

Ark: <Yeah, I still have over 8000 Gil. Should probably spend them on something the next time we find a shop, provided there is a next time.>

"But...we're still At the shop...."

<Yo.>

Ark: <Yeah, I know, I don't know what to buy yet.>

"Armor? Every thief sphere? I can't imagine that you have everything you want, or need."

Ark: <Hohohoho, "every thief sphere". There are like six. I have them all.>

[A functioning brain.]

"Well, if everyone has what they need, we should probably get going. We can't be too far. If we're lucky, we won't even be attacked again before we get there."

"Can't you use warrior spheres as well?" Ingrid offered, "That may be useful. Either way, it is your gil, I won't tell you how to use it." With that, Ingrid began to follow after Luna, "I wouldn't count on that Luna, luck has so far steered clear of us, I don't see a reason for things to start looking up for us just yet."

[He has a Warrior sphere and White Magic Sphere in his possession. He's just stupid.]

Ark: <I can, but the shopkeeper or something didn't really like it last time I tried to buy different stuff. It's all right.>

*Once they're almost to the Dome, they find themselves attacked by a humongous black Flan, a yeti thing, & an Ahriman.*

*Hitomi casts Protect on herself then Firaga on the Bashura.*

*Ark hurls his dagger at the Ahriman.*

*The Bashura punches Luna. The Ahriman just moves out of the way & retaliates with an eye beam. The Dark Flan opens its mouth & the entire party is surrounded by a translucent black dome as they feel a crushing sensation.*

*Ark rolls over to evade the beam and groans as the gravity spell is cast upon them. After it is over he dashes to pick up his dagger and leaps at the ahriman with a double slash.*

*Hitomi casts Cura on Luna followed by Protect.*

*Nothing happens, as Hitomi's out of MP. As for the Ahriman, after watching his little gymnastics routine, it had plenty of forewarning, & easily flies out of the way. An odd kind of fog surrounds Luna's spear as she attacks the Dark Flan. The Bashura runs up & kicks at Hitomi.*

*Ark fucking flips the Ahriman off and slashes across the Bashura's back.*

*Hitomi runs off, casting Osmose on the Dark Flan.*

*Luna also stabs the Bashura. It turns around, putting up its dukes & growling something that sounds vaguely like "Don't fuck with me." The Ahriman fires at Ark from behind.*

*Ark knocked over by the attack. He staggers to his feet and stabs at the Bashura's belly.*

*Hitomi casts Firaga on the Bashura.*

*Ark, being confused, had stabbed Luna. She slaps him, snapping him out of his confusion, & looks at him like "what the fuck?" The Bashura swings a fist at him while the Ahriman flies after Hitomi.*

Ark: <I-I'm sorry!>

*He ducks and stabs at it.*
