"You will take us?!" Agrias had a bright smile about her, her hands would ball into fists and she would hold them close to her heart, "Fantastic and long awaited news!" she grinned, standing up and hopping once, a force of habit from her world, to jump in place. She was trying to quit it, since it apparently lost it's definition in the future; Going from victory to rampant lunatic in meaning.
She sighed a moment, closing her eyes in question, " A ship, I wonder if we can contact the Red Rose, but how? I know naught how communication is done in the future, I know only of bird and messenger."

Abigail giggled softly at Agrias' happy hopping! She noticed the woman was somewhat embarassed, and instead of leaving her to face this alone... she hopped too! She giggled and called out 'Vicotry!' as she did, seeming quite pleased. She looked to Vivi with a wide smile.
"So you can pilot a ship??" she asked hopefully! If he couldn't... they might have to recruit someone who did... Maybe those clever chaps who crashed?

"Whoah, Hold it!" came Seifer's voice as he walked up behind Vivi. His arms were crossed and his face was set in a scowl. He wasn't the type that liked unexpected suprises about his friends. "Cough it up, chuckles... Why is it suddenly you're talking about space travel and stuff when two seconds ago you were a chicken-wuss like that old lady there with the sword?"
Rai had finished up and caught what had happened, walking over and putting his fists on his hips. "Better start talkin, ya know?"
Fuu walked up too, confused by the sudden turn of events. "Explain," she said simply.

Badum...badum...badum... the knight felt her heart beat strongly under the metal chest plate. She felt almost out of air, though perfectly fine. They had not done battle, and she lost little stamina with the shipmate rescue... Still, within the confides of her heart, a storm of unsteadiness began to cast its shadow. Her left arm quivered under her long blue and gold sleeves and she swallowed once, her eyes overly focused on Vivi...
'...What is this that has brought my heart such pain...?' she asked herself, the world around her growing dim, concentrating on the steadiness of her heart. Amber eyes would show hidden concern, 'This emptiness... this sorrow...? Beatrix... oh, with all my heart... I hope 'tis not you who feels such pain...'

Sai shook his head a bit in thought... then he overheard some words that were... familiar. Alexandria. Wasn't that where they just attempted to go? Apparently, someone had survived the wreck. It was a long shot, but Sai couldn't let it go.
"Lexia," he called, turning to look at the girl just after she sat down. "You among us possess the ability to 'make friends easily'... Can you go over there and find out what you can? If my hypothesis is correct... we might still be able to retrieve those notes... As well as gain a ship by offering our services as pilots..."
He doubted sincerely that they would leap at the offer after seeing their... uhm... prowess in navigation... However, he also suspected that Agrias might notice that most of the damage was done by an outside attack, not their fall from grace. Still, a gamble was a gamble. He looked to Ximar and Lilith now, raising an eyebrow.
"Brainstorm. What do we do next if they turn us away?"

Vivi was soon bombarded with lines of questioning. His friends surrounded him, and so too did these newcomers. He began stuttering an explanation, while backing up and falling on his rear. He stared up at them all, his glowing eyes wide.
"I, um...well, you see, the thing is...that, I'm from, uh...a place called Alexandria. One day I just, sort of ended up here. And things have just, well, my memory is slowly coming back, guys. It's not like I meant to hide these things from you, you know..."
He then addressed the newcomers, standing up and once again brushing himself off. OCD much, Vivi?
"As for piloting--you did say the Red Rose, right? Well that ship was customized by the one who created my kind..." he remembered all the people he left behind, not just those in Alexandria, but the newer friends he'd made while traveling, those in Black Mage Village.
"I have the technological information inside of me; there's usually a panel near the helm of Alexandrian ships where mages place their hand. That way newer pilots may consult the blueprints, navigational systems, and instructions for piloting. That is all the help I can offer; I am no pilot myself."

Lexia saluted him a little, jumping up and shaking her bad hand. She walked over to Agrias and the rest of them, smiling. You said you were looking for someone, I couldn't help but hear. She tapped her ear a little bit, laughing nervously. ...And it's in The World That Never Was. We were wodnering if somehow we could help you - Sai and Lilith are looking for something, and I'm looking for my sister. She might be there. Do you think we could help you at all? She smiled rightly and warmly, sure enough to make anyone's heart melt, excluding Sai of course.

Abby blinked a little, at first concerned for Agrias, but seeing as the woman seemed to let it pass herself... all she could do was move on to the next issue at hand. She sighed a little to discover that Vivi was no pilot and crossed her arms a bit. "Well... without a pilot, how do we fly the ship?"
Just then, as though answering the question, one of the passengers from the wreck appeared. Abby blinked, then giggled a bit. The girl had an odd way about her that seemed to make even Abigail cheerful. She looked to her and nodded a bit, taking in what she had to say. She then glanced to Agrias once more.
"I dunno... we do need a pilot... and they had to have gotten their ship UP at one point..." she stated, tapping her chin. "I don't know how to fly an airship, but maybe I could learn if Vivi has instructions?" she seemed torn, trying to make up her mind. "What do you think, Agrias?"

The knight stood there, crossing her arms and closing her eyes, "If the recent passengers are in quest to find their own answers through our path, I do not see why we should not share our trail." She smiled over to Lexia, bowing her head a little before looking to Vivi, " We must go to the Red Rose, know that much, I am certain."
The pain at her chest continued to bug her, yet she remained calm on the outside as she spoke, " I am sure that the great ship is inhabited by Alexandrian knights, Beatrix's kin, and if we tell them of our predicament, I am sure they will march to save their General. There must be pilots as is, I remember a particular one from the adventures, the ship's second pilot. All we must do, is go and embark towards this World That Never Was... with a plan of rescue, of course..."

Abigail pumped a fist, smiling brightly. "Alright!" she said to Agrias, hoping to share in her bright-hearted nature. She then looked to Lexia and nodded. "Okay! There's plenty of space on this boat! Go get your friends, and we'll all depart!" She gave a thumbs up to the girl before turning to the other two.
"All set!" she said happily, eager to get back on the Red Rose. There was a sketch she'd been meaning to finish in her room still... plus, some quiet travel time would afford her a chance to study Merlin's book...

Ximar was very confused by all this talking. He was never very good at keeping up with big conversations. He had heard somethings about going to The World that Never Was. He quietly whispered to himself, "Home." It had been ages since he had been to his once beloved castle. He missed it so much. He decided to let the others talk it all out. He was never good with discussion such as these.

"Brainstorm. What do we do next if they turn us away?"
Lilith thought to herself, she brought a hand to her chin.
"I could deal with it..."
she smiled to herself.

"Just...lead me to, um, the Gummi Garage and I'll set everything up, unless of course those soldiers on board you mentioned are able to settle this on their own." He backed up a ways, and looked around the area once more. It was a complete mess, and he really didn't want to be stuck "helping" to clean it up, as he'd be the one cleaning, while his friends would goof off and eat Popsicles.

Agrias balled a hand to form into a fist before smacking it against the palm of the other hand, "Splendid! Then let us go!" she spoke, trying to brush off the feeling of dread, "Beatrix awaits us!" she would force a smile, and turn in place, staying there with a blank expression.
The knight would look to the white mage and the small child, laughing a bit nervously, " W-when thou meant gummi garage--is it-- do you mean to where the ship is? I remember seeing a place called Gummi Garage on the map, and wondered what it meant. 'Tis where we will find the Red Rose, correct? A place about .. oh... 125 feet away from this location, due east of here, am I correct?"

"So, that's it? You just suddenly start remembering stuff and you ditch your friends?" Seifer grunted, arms crossed as Vivi offered his help to these total strangers. He looked off, seeming a tad miffed.
"That's not cool, ya know?" Rai agreed, his fists on his hips. He stamped a foot agitatedly. Fuu looked off as well, her hair flipping.
"Whatever," she said bluntly. Then the three started walking off, Seifer waving a hand over his shoulder dismissively.
"Whatever's right. You just take off with your new friends, Vivi. But don't expect us to watch your back for you if and when you get back here!" It was clear they were upset their friend was leaving without so much as a goodbye, and that they truly didn't know much about him in the first place.
Just call this one a "Disciplinary Committee Send Off"
