Mystic Ruins Hotel

Mana: (in a voice that could freeze Mazuri over) Hello, Whip.

*Whip's spine freezes over accordingly*
Whip: N-N-Now Mana! I-I can p-pay this back!
*Whip continues until he presses up against one of the remaining walls*

Dawg: Like you payed back the Chili-Dog stand, right? Or the three airships in Spira?

Mana: *blinks, and although she's still staring at Whip frostily, she addresses Dawg and Sugar* ...Whip... has been to Spira?

*Dawg nods, and his mind floods with fond memories of the trio*
Dawg: We all go together. Once we even ran into Howl there. Remember when he lost his memory?

*Whip ignorantly gains an air of swagger*
Whip: Of course I've been! You're looking at the De facto leader of our Treasure Hunting team! I've been all over Spira and have seen all the lands~
*Sugar sweatdrops*
Whip: Not to mention, I'm the reason why Howl didn't succumb to Spira's dangers~
Sugar: I sort of remember you falling off of our airship....

Mana: *gains a rather evil smirk* Well, if that's the case, almighty leader... *raises her leg onto the armrest of the chairs Dawg and Sugar were sitting on earlier* I have a proposition for you.

*Whip eerily plays with his bangs for a bit*
Whip: Sorry Mana, but I'm spoken for~
Sugar: ....Whip, a proposition is a deal of sorts.
Whip: ...Oh.
*Whip sits down onto a relatively comfortable piece of rubble*
Whip: ....I'm listening.
*Sugar hobbles next to Dawg*
Sugar: He's....really hopeless....

Dawg: *Thought proposition meant something else, too, hides his ignorance with an awkward laugh* Hahaha, yeah. Hopeless...

Mana: *blanks out when Whip plays with his bangs and seems to shudder to herself at what Whip thought she meant* How about this? You, Sugar, and Dawg and take me to Spira. Show me around. Let me go treasure hunting with you guys, even. If I have a great time... *smirks* I'll forget about all the money you owe me.

Whip:....
*Whip stands up emotionlessly, picks Mana up, and tucks her under his arm*
Whip: Let's go guys.
Sugar: Wh-Whip! Don't hold her like that!

Dawg: Go back to Spira? *Dawg's eyes gleam, forgetting all of the chaos that this trip is sure to house* I'm down. *Dawg turns to Whip and Sugar* What do you all think?

Whip: I'm good for it!
*High fives Dawg*
Sugar: I suppose we could go for another adventure~
*Whip nods at Sugar*

Mana: ... *pulls up her sleeve, revealing a watch on her pink bracelet, and she hits a switch that reactivates the defense systems and shocks Whip thoroughly, but leaves her unharmed as she gets out of Whip's grip* I'm all for it, of course~

*Dawg receives Whips high-five, and returns it with equal force*
Dawg: All right this will be gre-!
*Dawg stops, realizing something*
Dawg: Oh...There is one small problem.

*Whip becomes a crooked pile of ash and remains, moaning in pain as Sugar pulls a small dustpan from inside her jacket and sweeps him up*
Sugar: What's that, Dawg?

Dawg: Well, heh, you see. Spira is in another dimension...*Dawg leads off, like there is something else to say, but he's too scared to say it.*

*Sugar pours Whip's ashes into a bag*
Sugar:.... and?

Dawg:...and that usually wouldn't be a problem, because I can get us there with a Chaos Emerald...

Mana: Oh, so the issue is traveling dimensions? No worries~! *pulls out a familiar looking black bell* =3

*Sugar turns to Mana*
Sugar: Oh, are you able to travel between dimensions as well?

Mana: Me? No, not yet. I haven't figured out that spell. But for whatever reason, Kimitsu can, and my awesome sister as well as Tanya were able to con our friendly Kimi-kun into making this charm for me. So we'll be able to go there. Although... *tilts head* I've never been to Spira, so I don't know where exactly to lead this charm to. *holds it out to Sugar* Will you do it, Sugar?

Dawg: Oh, I guess it's no big deal I ate my Chaos Emerald then.
*Dawg pulls out another Tea from his pocket, this time a small can, and pops it open*
Dawg: Onward! To victory!

Sugar: Ah, you want m-me to lead us? B-but Dawg is much more quali-
*Sugar hears Dawg's comment on consuming the Chaos Emerald*
Sugar:....O-Okay.... I'll try....
*Sugar accepts the charm*
Sugar: S-so... like....this?
*Sugar kind of shakes the bell a bit, unsure of what to do*

Mana: *ignores Dawg's comment and writes it off as his normal behavior* Yeah. And just think of the place you wanna go. It'll open a portal right to it~ =3
