genessia | 1st Explosion [Video, action]

[It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure these things out and given the level of tech he's familiar with, this is hardly a problem to figure out. He snorts softly to himself as he finally clicks the video on, leaning up against one of the buildings of Genessia City, arms crossed over his chest and suit just as mussed up as it normally is. Dress shirt untucked, suit jacket unbuttoned, and hair a right mess. But that last part is pretty impossible to fix.]

Well, shit, been a while since I've had anything new to do and being dragged into a semi-peaceful lookin' place is certainly a nice change of pace. No one trying to destroy the world or take it over or what the fuck ever else craziness of the week.

I might have zoned out a little on that whole hologram thing, short attention span, if you wanna call it that. So I got a few questions for whoever can see this mess.

One: The fuck is with the jewelry? Who thought this shit was fashionable or practical?
Two: So this whole unable to leave thing, is that really true or some bullshit scare tactic to keep people in line?
Three: If you happen to know what Gaia, Midgar, or Shinra is? You might wanna contact me.
Four: What the hell do you people do for fun?
Five: Where's the closest damn bar?

The last is of the upmost importance.

[Action, Genessia City]

[To be fair, Reno was never one to sit around for long and tended to get restless if he even tried to do as such. Thus he'd immediately taken to wandering and learning the ins and outs of this particular city just in case he needed them for later. Whether for offensive purposes or to just get the hell out quickly and not have to worry about the repercussions of something he probably did.

Luckily he'd had a pack of cigarettes still on him and his lighter, so finding the redheaded man with a cigarette perched between his lips wasn't a difficult thing in the slightest.

He's poking his head into various businesses that may or may not be of some interest, just learning the lay of the land and anything that might be worth his time or effort.]

[He's glad of that, at least, since it's not a habit he's letting die any time soon, after all. He's quiet as he listens to her, crouched down at the side of one of the bikes with a thoughtful hum before he stands once again.]

Makes sense. [Though this place is a hell of a lot cleaner than other shops he's seen, but most of those are closer to the slums than anything else. Best place to get something that'll run properly, in his experience.]

Was just sorta poking around, though I'm guessing currency around here ain't the same as back home. Right shame as I guess I'll be walking for a while. [He pauses a moment, looking the place over with a practiced eye, a small bit of old paranoia.] Who's in charge of this place, anyway? These are some damn fine machines.

You want Smoker for that, he is the owner and does a majority of the work on most of them.

[ Weak smile. ]

I suppose the starting money really is not enough to consider purchasing a motorcycle straight away, you have yourself to worry for as well. Still, it is not too difficult to afford them once you have well-paying work here.

Smoker, huh. [Weird name, but then again he knew a dude named Cloud, so it's not like that's terribly unusual.]

Yeah, seems pretty unfortunate around here. Not that it should be that hard since I like to think I've got a pretty good background behind me. [You know, being basically a company owned hitman, bodyguard, pilot, etcetc. The shit Shinra had them do, honestly.]

Dunno if I wanna really bother with anything too strict up in arms about shit anymore, though. Been there, done that, only reason I haven't left is the whole probably ending up in a bodybag part.

There is freedom in that regard here, at least. Even if you are not experienced in a type of work you are interested in, most places are willing to help teach you.

[ What does he mean by 'ending up in a bodybag' though? She's not sure, but maybe it's something she can ask later in the conversation if he feels like sharing. ]

I mean, were it not for this place I do not think I would be involved in this kind of work at all.

... Fair enough. Not sure what other kind of work I'd even be good at it given I've been sort of in one place for, well, a good majority chunk of my life. [And he's not keen on going back to what he used to do when he was younger, but details.]

Shit, I'll have to figure something out at some point. Can't keep up what I wanna do if I don't have any money to do it. Makes you wonder why shit can't just be, you know, free. [These are the groanings of a lazy fucker that does the least amount of work possible unless it involves something interesting.]

I suppose so, but no one likes to work for nothing either. Whether it is providing for themselves or simply for something to do, I think it can be rewarding in its own rite if it is something you like to do.

[ Weak smile. She can get how it's miserable if one doesn't like it in the least though, considering that not everyone can do what they like but... ]

That aside, it would be boring to just have what you want all the time without any effort, would it not?

[there is a clatter from the window. Is that Santa Claus? No... just a bare chested pirate sneaking on by the the room of the other occupant with a large piece of meat in his mouth... though since he sees the room is already occupied]

Ah, sorry for my intrusion. Yo, 'Dela.

[continues to sneak. Tiptoeing even. Don't mind him]

[You know, Adela, he was going to answer you until there's a noise at the window and he's immediately on his guard and looking far too ready to attack something. Until he realizes what it is and lowers back to his neutral stance, hands stuffed back into his pockets with a raised brow.

Well, that's new.]

That happen a lot 'round here?

With him? Yes.

[ She's not even going to pretend otherwise, which is likely lucky for Ace. ]

One gets used to it.

[It's kind of funny that he's just being so chill about everything, but there's no Shinra here, so why the fuck would he really do anything productive?

Yeah.]

I guess you would after a while. Seen weirder shit than that, at least.

Honestly he is probably here to bother Smoker -- the man who owns this place.

[ She'll wear an amused grin when she turns back to him. ]

Is there anything else I can help you with here?

Fuckin' figures...

[Oh, right, stuff. He should probably do stuff.]

Nah, think I got all I need to. But it's nice to see something I'm familiar with in a weird as fuck place as whatever this city is called. Streets and air are cleaner 'round here, too. [Midgar is a shithole, news at eleven.]

This city is Genessia.

[ In case he doesn't know the name. She nods to him, sitting up a little more. ]

I am glad to help if only in that way. I will say it was a shock to me as well, having so much that I have not seen nor experienced before.
