*gigglesnort* XD Bahamut would be such lovely company at a picnic! EDIT: Idea! Perhaps when Yuna and Kimahri get to Zanarkand, they're just in time to see Balthier shooting at Rikku. If Auron takes the bullet after all (D:), then maybe Yuna will rush in to heal Auron and cast Dispel on Rikku to get rid of Stop (if that's what Balthier cast on her), while Kimahri takes up battling Balthier. Just a possibility, so that Auron and Rikku aren't already doomed.

Cloud is dead... Balthier killed him waaay back at the beginning, and is hanging on to his earring, phone and charm off his jacket. Which leads me to...
Say someone poisons Balthier in the current fight, and he eventually realises he's too weak to fight anymore and jumps over the edge. He could land in Balamb garden half dead, and they could give him a room. Tifa, in her mother role, could be looking after him, and it could be revealed to her that Cloud is dead...

It is a good idea. But taking Balthier's obsession with keeping Treyia safe into consideration, I doubt he would do that.

Indeedy, Leaf and I have been pondering this problem, y'see, currently I got B threatening to make Rikku's neck an open-air feature, but stuck an unblasted frag grenade right next to them. I'm thinking - 1. BANNNNG!!!! Balthier off in one direction Rikku in another - OR, depending on people's thoughts, Rikku could somehow end up with B and Treyia (it'd be pretty random ) 2. Treyia has a rare moment of goodness and forces Balthier to drink potions B stole of Rikku (tit-for-tat, as they say. And Balthier may be bleeding on him ) 3. B and T are like 'um...get outta here?' and oodle off (possibly with mangled up Rikku depending on Sylla's thoughts (it can be swung I'm sure)) then end up at the Garden - B on his last legs and like 'hm, maybe I went a little over the top back there with the killing and getting the burns and the pain...' and might have another little nervy b. for life in general. 4. B goes down outside garden and Treyia wanders in to say 'hey, dead guy (possibly girl dependin on Rikku) outside if anyone cares about crap like that - I'm going to bed' I sure love numbering stuff huh?

Well, he could grab Treiya on the way down... He already knows what happens if you jump off so he knows they're unlikely to be in danger...
Ah well, was Fear's idea, I'll just see if she goes for it.

Hey, y'know what? If B and Treyia go one way and Rikku another, Rikku could end up with Sephiroth and Penelo (if they don't get to Zanarkand before the end of the fight, which it looks like they won't).
That way Penelo would be like, "Hey, you're one of the ones that killed Fran!" and Rikku would reply "Nu.uh, you saw that guy [Balthier], he was crazy!" and Sephiroth would eventually say something along the lines of, "If you two don't shut up, I have no qualms about shutting you up PERMANENTLY."
Just a thought.

I like that idea. In fact, if this is what you meant, Balthier and Treyia could end up with Auron, Kimahri, and Yuna, so we don't have too many seperate parties. Balthier could be just lying there, either unconscious or awake, but in excruciating pain from the explosion. If he's awake, then Auron and Yuna could be attempting to talk some sense into him, and he would finally snap out of it like Cecil did, unless Fear's still planning for him to be psychotic.

Psychotic is more fun XD No but seriously, I kind of like the idea about T and B going all 'oops, maybe this was a bad idea' and taking Rikku with them. Well, not taking her with them on purpose, of course. B's already stated that she is even more irritating than T, so I can't see why they would ever want her with them even if it is something like hostage If Sylla doesn't think it would be dead fun to end up with Sephiroth, that is.

Also, we need B to meet up with the party in balamb garden. I was thinking maybe Tifa could talk some sense into him, and he could tell her what happened with Fran. She could be all Oh I understand and explain about Cloud and how she's worried about him, then describe him and ask if he's seen him, and B can just be like I'm sorry and give her the charms and the phone...
I just have this scene in my head of Tifa handing a charm each to Zack and Aerith, and clinging to this slimed, broken old phone...

The way I see it is balthier could come round after being marginally healed, enough to walk/carry rikku for a bit (still pretty torn up though, so yunno, there's the pain and that) but he also sees similarly toasted Rikku nearby - who's unconscious and B is like 'no WAY is she getting the last word on me!' so he takes her along and then has another rant when she eventually comes to. So basically Rikku solves Balthier's crazy by getting him mixed up in a 'who's had the worst life' competition and he can be a bit 'well, I guess I felt a little bad for you...and besides, Treyia needs a playmate.' (cue Treyia punching Balthier on a wound)

Well... I'm not sure Rikku would be very keen on going with the guy who shot Auron and nearly killed her (methinks conversation would inevitably degenerate into insults). And it'd be pretty having Rikku end up with Penelo and Sephiroth. Although... how 'bout this: the explosion shakes loose a piece of the Zanarkand platfor, sending Rikku and Balthier tumbling down (possible to where Seph and Penelo are), and leaving Treyia in Auron/Yuna/Kimahri's tender care. Or am I just making things was too complicated? =P

Hm...It's a thought. Personally I think Penelo/Seph need a bit more time alone (oo-er) before we link them up with anyone else...yunno, just to do a bit more of her mem-loss and a bit of releationship between them. (this is all non-romantically, okay? It just SOUNDS wrong And Seph might possobly be '2 girls? You have gotta be kidding, what do you think I am a rescue shelther?' he'd tolerate penelo but with Rikku thrown in it'd be a bit too much 'blond teenage girl in need of rescuing overload.' And what if B comes to and thinks 'maybe I was a little harsh - all cecil-like but with a bit more ' then sees Rikku all bashed up on the white-off-platform place (I like the zanarkand exploding idea), he doesn't really want Auron and co. to beat his ass (again) should she die, so doses her up with potion and leaves her there. Then perhaps she wakes up partially healed, alone, and a bit wtf? Then possibly sees B+T in the distance and doesn't realize it's them, so chases up and goes 'ahhhh die!' but B's like 'neither of us want to die down here and you don't stand much of a chance of winning. So shutup and walk.' Then from there Rikku could even go 'screw-u' and run off, possibly bumping into sephy or whatnot. I sorta like the B+T+ Rikku for the oddity, but I'm weird as it is

Anyway, you know even if they both fall off the platform at the same time, there's no guarantee they'll land in the same place (remember Vaan and Penelo?) Although seeing recent developments, I'd say the best thing would be Treiya healing B enough to walk but not much else, and the pair of them jumping off the platform and landing outside balamb garden... maybe Tifa and Zack could see them land from the balcony? That would leave Rikku in Auron's capable hands... (and Yuna/Kihmari but Auron should make it all better )
