materia hunting [action]

[soldiernoclass]

Aw, come on! I know you're in there, somewhere, you little-

[ Okay, so this can't be that unfamiliar a sight - the Lost & Found at the back of Tapper's probably sees a fair bit of traffic, both animate and in. And some guy from some game rooting around back there, elbows deep in the assorted miscellanea probably shouldn't raise too many (or any) eyebrows.

But Zack's not exactly being quiet about it, either, talking to himself (and to that thing he's looking for) quite clearly as he shuffles ever nearer to the bottom of the box. A giant pretzel gets shoved out of the way, a few gold rings go rattling to the back, and- ]

Aha! [ -he straightens up abruptly where he's crouched down, one fist held triumphantly aloft. Unfortunately, his apparent victory is quickly followed by something that sounds a lot more like Ugh, bluh and Gross! as he tries to shake the sticky blob he mistook, briefly, for his missing materia off the palm of his glove. Eventually, the edge of the doorway he's sitting in has to be employed to achieve the desired effect (though he's still making a face at his hand as he goes to scrub it off on a pantleg. ]

Don't even wanna know what game that came from. [ With a frown, he glances up at his only present company, the massive Buster Sword balanced against the wall beside him (because it's hard to crouch comfortably with that thing on his back, okay). And its one empty slot. ] ...All right. Maybe it's time to think about sourcing this one out.

[ Asking around can't be any less productive than digging's been. Right? ]

[Why, hello there. Hope you don't mind having the blond-haired, Al Bhed Laguna looking over you. He might have been going to the lost-and-found himself, Moomba by his side. He dropped his goggles somewhere, and he's hoping they're here. Even though he's accepted around here, he's still sub-concious about being what he is. But he's friendly, and just asks straight out --]
Were you robbed or somethin'?

[Ohai Zack, did you lose a shiny? Because Rouge sure loves her shinies. Just saying. Nothing suspicious about a jewel thief hanging around at all! Nope!

There's a slight eyebrow raise at the slime being smeared around, but really, she just looks amused...]

Well, that's unfortunate. Better luck next time, huh, Champ?

[From the doorway peeked a blonde attempting to keep herself from laughing as he tried to remove the gloop from his glove. As he gave his final words to himself, she entered and brushed past him, giving him a casual "Hey" before kneeling at the box herself.]

Alright, time for an archeological dig! [Terra hikes her sleeves up and sticks her tongue out to one side before diving in, coming out a few seconds later with a very muddy pair of goggles.] Aha! I knew I'd find these.

[Pleased, she turns back to her company with a grin and she places the, around her neck.]

Couldn't find what you were looking for, big guy?
