And here he was… looking at the town before him, just looking, and waiting. He blinked quickly, his hand moving to his eyes, rubbing them softly as he reopened them… to see the same thing as before. He was hoping that when he woke up… he would have woken up this, he thought he was something like those dreams he had before…about Laguna Kiros and Ward, where he needed to get something done and he’d go back home. But this… the fact that he was in his own body and not someone else’s, that just proved to him that this wasn’t right.
Pushing his hands into his pockets, taking a few steps from the place he’d managed to find, it wasn’t much in terms of arrangements, hell, it had one room, but then again… Zell was a simple man; all he really needed was a flat surface to sleep.
Licking his lips, he nodded, right, now to do what he had planned to do… which was to walk around this town till he knew what it was called, where it was, and to find someone that knew what was going on, at least, he hoped he’d find someone like that. Turning his body, moving from his new home, taking small steps as his gaze moved around the place, seeing everything in a different light from when he arrived. This place was pretty cool, he had to admit, it wasn’t the worst place he’d been to, and Dollet really took the cake with that.
Zell’s head tilted up, a smile etching on his lips as he moved down alleys, through streets, seeing different faces, and actually enjoying it. He was a nice guy by nature, his character just put people off, he was impulsive at best, and the tattoo on the side of his face didn’t give people the best impression of him either. He paused, narrowing his eyes as his fingers came across something in his pocket. Pulling his hand free, Zell’s eyes came across the small hot dog coupon that he’d bought from Selphie for 1000Gil, and there was no way that he was going to lose it, no way in hell.
He folded the paper up once more, pushing it back into the depths of his jean pockets, patting his leg softly as he continued moving. His hands moved to the back of his head, his blue gaze moving up as he looked at the buildings around him, he had been out and about in his own world… but this was just… crazy, it was like nothing he’d seen before, and deep down… it excited Zell to no end. Maybe here he’d be able to get stronger, to improve his fighting abilities, and maybe, he’d be able to show it to that Seifer what he was really mad of.
His arms moved, punching forward as he bounced softly, a grin growing on his face as his arms moved to complete a variety of different punches, only to end with a roundhouse kick,
“Take that Seifer! One day you’ll see who the chicken-wuss is!”

This town was an unfamilair place, though it seemed kind of roomy, and though people didn't all brim with friendly airs to them Reno smiled like an idiot anyway. He was a nice guy, for the most part. It had taken him a while before he learned the towns name, as he never really bothered to ask. It was Rude, his larger blacker half that would point out the signpost at the station. Other than that though nothing was really known about this place.
"Traverse Town... sounds sexy, eh Rude?"
"..."
Silence was his answer, Rude tended not to waste too many words on things that didn't matter. He would shrug Reno only seeing the lowering of his shoulders at the end of such motion as he turned to look. A head of them they walked with no particularly focused destination. Information was a must, know your location, and its surroundings before finding jobs. The place seemed quiet though, like little to nothing really went on around here. That was the general impression they were getting untill...
"Whoa! Watch it yo!"
Rounding a blind corner in the pathways of town provided a little excitement, as Reno ducked a rather pointless roundhouse kick that otherwise would have made mark with his face. Regaining what little composure he normally held he half cocked his head looking at the young man before him, as Rude stepped out behind Reno, stopping as he realized what had happened. Though he didn't say anything about it, just looked on through the dark lenses of his sunglasses.
"Watch where your moving like that yo! Gunna knock into someone like that, probably not gunna end well."
Before Zell, now stood two men, one of fiery red hair, with red tattoo markings under each eye, a pair of goggles worn on his head, and a taller man, dark skinned, wearing sunglasses. Each wore a black suit and tie, though the red heads was left loose and open, while the dark skinned man's was worn proper and professionally.

Zell’s eyes widened, taking a step back as his hands rose up, waving softly, as he laughed a nervous type of laugh. Damn that Seifer! Even when he wasn’t around he was always getting Zell into some type of problem , and by the looks of the two men, Zell did not want to be on their bad side,
"Sorry about that! I mean, yeh, didn’t see you there” his body tiled forward as his hand scratched the back of his head, a soft apologetic smile on his lips. His blue gaze moved over their figures, taking the in, and he had to admit, the taller, darker skinned male scared him a hell of a lot more than the other, his presence was just… dominating, like Squall in a way. Maybe it was because he couldnt see the males eyes, that he didn’t know if the male was looking at him or not. But it was the red haired one that caught his attention.
“Hey you, I can handle myself pretty well in a fight I'll have you know… anyway, was an accident, no harm no fowl, ya know?” he bit the side of his lip, it was a bad habit that… after hearing Raijin say it so many times during their last conversation, Zell couldn’t help but pick it up, and he really did hate sounding like that idiot.
He moved back slightly, swallowing down at his eyes narrowed softly, thinking whether he knew these two or not. Where they from Balamb? No way, he knew everyone in that town, so from where… Deling City? That tiny town Timber maybe… but then the thought appeared in his mind, they just could be people from this town… although…
“You guys don’t look like you come from here, yeh?” his hands moved to his hips, his head tilting at his soft smile grew into his fairly large grin, “I mean, with the suits and all…” From what he’d seen of people here, mostly they just wore what they had, there wasn’t anything all that fancy, unless they were headed towards that Castle that he’d heard about. Licking the side of his lip softly, he took a small step closer, his hand moving to brush against his jeans before he extended the limb. If he was going to be stuck here, in a world he didn’t understand in any way, shape or form, why not make a few friends?
“Zell Dincht, SeeD mercenary, ya know?” he cringed softly, damn that Raijin and his ‘ya knows’, he even had Zell saying it more often now! Shaking his head softly, pouting as he sighed out,
“I need to stop saying that…” he looked back over at the males, his head tilting slightly, “You guys lost here two? or is that just me yeh?”

"SeeD? Never Heard of it, yo." Who was the blond boy, the facial tattoo didn't say much for him other thank punk. But that didn't bother Reno at all, after all he had his own markings, but this wasn't the time to admire tattoo work. "You ever hear of any band of Mercenaries named Seed?" Looking back to his large companion, who would just shake his head and peer down a bit examining the boy, from the looks of him he had some skill, but was still green and naive.
"Well, Zell~ I'm Reno, the big guy here is Rude. Were former-" Reno's explanation was cut off by a hand on his shoulder, Rude shook his head at him, The Turks were not well known before the end of Shinra but everything was more out in the open now and their being former Turks could bring bad karma. "employee's of Shinra Inc." Reno finished changing what he originally was going to say, people who knew Shinra knew bad things happened because of them, but not all employees were at fault for the companies actions, so this at least aloud him to say truth without getting too detailed.
"Anyway, no were not from around here. We live in the city of Edge, how we got here is a good question though" Rude would nod in agreement, and speak. "We're not sure where here is but we know where we are. Traverse town..."

Zell’s eyes widened, how could someone not know about SeeD? Hell, everyone knew about them at home, especially after the attempted assassination of Edea, the prison breakout, even the military base destruction... they were all known to be events caused by SeeDs,
“That is… not cool…” he shook his head, “I mean…how can you not know about SeeD? Kinda everyone knows about us” He nodded softly at hearing their names, his smile growing back onto his features,
“Nice to meet both of you” But hearing the others story, Zell’s smile faded and his eyes narrow slightly, his head tilting to the side, Shinra Inc? What was that? He blinked, stepping back slightly as he scratched the back of his head, opening his mouth, only to say nothing and close it shortly after. This made… no sense… they didn’t know what SeeD were… he didn’t know what Shinra was.
“Shinra Inc? Is that like the Odine brand?” His eyes narrowed once more, shaking his head as his hand moved to the side of his head. This was all too much for his small brain to comprehend, if neither of them knew anything that the other mentioned, it was logical to think, that if Zell was taken from his world, other people may have been taken from theirs,
“Seeing as I don’t have the faintest idea what your talking about… I think its smart to say we aren’t from the same world…” He nodded his head in agreement with himself, “I mean… this Shinra sounds big, but I’ve never heard of it…” he took a step back, his hand moving to his chin as he thought. Feeling Diablos stir in the back of his mind, almost as if trying to tell him something, his hand rose to the back of his head, pressing against it softly, trying to get the GF to calm down. Diablos didnt like been here just as much as Zell did, but at least both of them could keep busy with odd jobs.
Zell’s grin returned as he pointed, “Thats how I got here to… well… kinda, I was in a train though…” he looked to the side, remembering the worst wake up call he’d ever gotten. Waking up, expecting to see Squall staring at him, those eyes ready to kill him, only to see some small kid, and the realize… this wasn’t the same train he’d fallen asleep on.
“Yep, that’s this places name, its pretty cool for a town, I mean, they even given me a small place to stay for a few days” he pointed over his shoulder, pointing down the road he’d been walking down,
“Seems we both know the same stuff…” he nodded his head, his hands moving to his hips, “This sucks… and I even had a coupon”

"Your probably right... Your SeeD seems to be similar to Shinra to a point... Though Shinra's SOLDIER Division wasn't mercenaries." It didn't make much sense, but then again neither did the giant talking rat he had seen at one point either. He filed it away into things that didn't make sense.
"Hrmm... well no sense worrying about it." The red head would shrug it off and look around a bit. "What bothers me though is our money is useless here..." Pulling from his pocket a small wad of gill, he sighed. "We worked damn hard too, Just got paid and now we can't even spend it."
Rude would sigh a little, in his pocket sat a similar wad of useless currency, of the strange things he had been fortunate, or possibly unfortunate enough to see he was sure this was one of the more interesting. He had seen what Hojo's experiments could do to someone, watch the planet try and destroy itself.
"Well I guess we should figure out HOW we got here, then maybe we can figure out how to get back home, or at least how to get to other places." Rude looked at the boy before him as he spoke. "Since it is obvious our worlds are the same, and this place doesn't exist on either of them, then their is a chance that there are a lot of other places as well." He stopped, and adjusted his sunglasses.
Reno cocked his head to the side a bit his mouth a little bit open. When Rude said something it usually had a meaning, but this was deep... did the big guy have a degree he didn't know about or something. He shook his head clearing it. "Uhh yea, what he said. Maybe we can find a way to travel to other worlds and find our own again.. or something like that."

Laughing softly, he sighed, “Yeh… money, coupons, nothing works here and on top of that, they want money I’ve never heard of and tell me to find some” He shook his head, he hadn’t spend all his life in a Garden learning to be what he was just so he could start from the bottom now.
Zell nodded slightly, scratching his head as he listened. At least Reno and Rude made some sense, especially Rude, although, his addition to the conversation had first shocked Zell, and left him with his mouth ajar for a few moments. From just looks, he would never have believed that Rude would say something as philosophical as that.
“Well… there is a tram as the end of town” Zell turned, getting his bearings straight as he pointed in the general location. “As most trams do, its goes from place to place, and I’ve heard from a few people already that there’s different worlds that you can get to by tram, and then others you need some type of portal” He licked his lips, his hands moving to his hips as he tapped the ground with his foot
“But where to find these portals, that’s a different story, cause I’ve been looking all over and have found squat” He looked over at the two men, as if thinking, only to shake his head. pausing he tilted his head up, he had heard some old man talking about those portals, saying that there was a way back, it just needed to be found, that something needed to first be done.
“Hold on a second… there was this old guy” He lifted his face up, biting his lip as he tried to remember, “His around here somewhere, preaching that the end of days in coming, that strangers from distant lands need to be called or some rubbish like that” His hand moved to his blond hair as he scratched it once more
“I just thought he was a lunatic at the time… but I think he knows more that I give him credit for”
