The Road

Maybe you’ve always been traveling this road. Maybe you just started. But, either way, now you have a companion. They say it’s not about the destination, it’s the journey. Now you’re going to have to find out.

1. Post-apocalyptic. There’s not much left of the world out there. But there’s still this road, and at the end of it, they say, there’s a haven.
2. Epic fantasy. It’s a long and winding road, through forests and plains, and all manner of treacherous fairies and giant spiders along the way. Supposedly, at the end of it there’s a castle, a dragon, and a treasure.
3. Yellow brick road! A journey through a world weird and wonderful, and at the end, if you’re lucky, is a way back home.
4. Road trip! Route 66, cheap motels, diners, small-town America and the open highway.
5. The Eternal Commute. Welcome to hell. Or New Jersey. Either way, really. The two of you are stuck in this car, in traffic, and you’re getting nowhere. Eventually, one day, you’re going to get to your destination.
6. Wilderness road. Maybe you’re lost, or stranded, or this is all you’ve ever known. All you know is there’s only one road in all this wilderness, and if you’re ever going to get back to civilisation, you’re going to have to follow it.
7. Shangri-La. You’ve heard a rumour about this road. It goes somewhere. Somewhere special. El Dorado. Atlantis. Camelot. But if you ever want to get there, you’re going to have to follow the road. Don’t stray.
8. WILDCARD

((roleswap losers it is!!))

When Cid - Cid tol Garlond, as he mumbled whenever somebody said his name - had been told he was going on an assignment with Nero Scaeva? He wasn't happy.

He was rarly happy, however. Even after he showed he was still kind within and saved Nero Scaeva, the two didn't seem to get along. Cid still acted like how Gaius wanted. And so, he sat next to Nero, in their two-person Magitek mount. "So, Scaeva. You did remember the missive, did you not?" he said, dismissively. Cid lacked respect, you see, for the man next to him. Only a coward would run.

Cid was no coward, even if he'd tried. Gaius made sure he wasn't.

Nero Scaeva's feelings on the matter are rather... mixed, as well. Any time spent with Cid was bound to be a trial, but at the same time, he knew there was something between them that could be reconstructed. Rebuilt. Refined? Renovated, maybe? Whatever the word, it couldn't be done as they sniped irritably at each other from across the Ironworks break room. A fine coating of purpose might be the social lubricant needed to finally get Cid to budge an ilm or two.

"I did remember it, yes." It is said with a tone of practiced calm, as he checks the gauges and makes a slight adjustment to his goggles. "Since when have I been known to be absent-minded? We've been apart too long, Garlond..." There is affection in his tone, in spite of himself. Aah, he'd done all this to show Cid what-for, and now it all seemed so petty...

Whatever it could be, Cid remained barely looking to Nero. Barely paying attention to the other, or so it seemed. Being like him, Cid had to pay attention - always. Even if it was to Nero Scaeva.

He tapped his fingers a little, however, the tone seeming to get to him more then the words. "You weren't absent-minded, no. But you were quite absent, Scaeva. It's why Gaius chose me."

Cid knows that's a lie - he knows it was because of his father. (Cid hates it, he wishes he hadn't been, he's so damned jealous.) He's still seemingly petty, though, as he couldn't help but lean backwards a little. His own body seems so stiff. "...But, we have been. Truth be told, it was a little dull in Garlemald, when I had a few spare moments."
