========================================================= Saturday, April 12 2521, 09:34 (military time)
Vent, Aile, Girouette =========================================================
((first thread... -crosses fingers- here we go.))
It had been a few weeks since "the incident," what with being kidnapped and all. After successful rescue operations and the reunion of himself and Model X, he spent his time aboard the Guardians HQ, recovering. Physically, yes, but most especially mentally. The event seemed quite discombobulating to him, and he hadn't been the same sense. He rarely left his personal quarters.
After a couple of weeks of moping around like that, Vent had decided to do something. Although he talked to Girouette often enough on the ship, Vent craved something even more casual. He just wanted to take a day or two off and really kick back, and who better? Even after so long he still wasn't quite used to having Giro back.
Vent made his plans and sent copies to Giro and Vent's twin sister Aile. Vent was sure she could use some R&R, too. Vent had been told both Giro and Aile participated in the rescue operation (his own memory of the entire event was very hazy). He wanted to meet up at old Giro Express, 10 o'clock sharp, on the upcoming Saturday.
He was early.

[[Please do not make threads with characters until you have discussed it with all the players in question. While is is very handy given Giro's desperate need for a thread, don't do it again without talking to the players.]]
Well, Giro was there, naturally, because he worked there. He was in the back room, drinking his normal mug of coffee with a peppermint stick stuck in it as he went over papers. Vent was quiet, so he didn't notice his presence right away, but the light tone of the motion sensor told him that there was a 'customer'. Setting the mug down, he got up, fixed his hair so it looked more professional, and stepped out of the office. Oh! It was just Vent!
"You're here early." He smiled. "Coffee?"

(( SDLKGMDLNFBFOUINTFDFFFFFFFF Sorry I didn't realize ;A; I'll do better next time I promise! -cries- ))
(( EDIT: Also, I'm justifying going ahead of Aile what with Vent being early. That's, if she decides to turn up at all ;3; I guess this will be free-for-all style posting ))
Vent waved at Girouette awkwardly the second he saw Vent.
"Hey Boss," Vent said in a somewhat casual tone.
"No thanks." he said. He didn't feel like having coffee. "May I come in and have a seat?" He was on his best behavior today.

Giro raised an eyebrow. "Well, aren't you polite today. Now if only you talked like that all the time." Giro laughed. "This place is just as much home to you as it is to me, you don't need to ask for permission to have a seat, Vent."
Chuckling, he stepped into his office for a moment and grabbed his coffee, stepping out and walking towards the back sitting room, where he normally spoke with customers about big deliveries.
Sitting down, he looked over to Vent. "Has things been going alright?" He asked, a hint of concern in his voice. Ever since that incident during the tournament... He hadn't been that scared in his life.

"Yeah, yeah!" Vent said as he walked in and took a seat with Giro. He smirked at Giro's comment regarding Vent's manners.
It was nostalgic. "I haven't been back here in some time..." He commented, almost to himself. He'd let Guardian duties take over, and let his Transporter business fade away until he stopped taking transporter assignments altogether. He still wore the snazzy outfit though. He zoned out a little as he thought back to simpler times, life as a transporter, just the three of them...
Vent looked up at Giro as he asked his question. "Oh, I'm doing better..." He said, sighing. "I'll probably be back in shape in a week or so." He had no idea if that was true.
"Um, excuse me..." Model X spoke up, emerging from Vent's person and floating above the table. "Where is Model Z?"

"Well, it's still home, so don't worry about it, Vent." Giro smiled.
His expression went to one of concern as he recollected more during that incident. "Have you considered taking some time off?" He suggested.
He glanced over to Model X as he asked about Model Z, who slowly lifted from his biomatch's pocket to become level with the other.
"Hello, X."

"Yeah..." Vent said. He looked at Giro, leaning over the counter/table/whatever.
"Well, I've been doing my best to relax, but in my opinion there is a lot to be done, especially after an attack so... daring. Even those two Model W's only stole the Biometals behind our backs... this was somewhat more boisterous. I want to know who was behind it. I want to know what they were after. I want to know why." He sounded a little angry, but for him that could just be determined. "Regardless of my state, there's work to be done, and it would be irresponsible of me to let the ball drop."
"We have not spoken since the rescue operation," Model X said. "I trust the battles have not left you or your Biomatch in terrible form?"

[Sorry for not posting as much. I'll be picking up now. I'm sorry. D|]
"It has me concerned as well." Giro sighed before taking a swig of his drink. "But you forget you're not alone in this, Vent. You have the entirety of the Guardians on your side, as well as allies from other places." He listened to Vent for a moment. "Vent, your sudden responsibility is admirable, but you mustn't wear yourself out. If you force yourself, you will make mistakes, and that may potentially be worse than you taking a day or two to get your head back on. At his point, it would be more irresponsible to keep going without a brief pause."
"We are still getting situated back into combat after such a long hiatus, but we are slowly returning to old form, and working to exceed it." Model Z said. "That incident at the tournament was a bit of a wake up call."

(( Hey don't worry about it man~ I mean I was a little confused/worried since you said Giro needed some attention but if other things take precedence don't worry about little old me~ -pats- ))
Vent sighed and thought for a minute, looking down at the ground. "I suppose you're right..." He said as if he was admitting defeat.
"...
"So, how about that coffee now?"
"Agreed. Getting caught off-guard like that was quite the stumble for us." Model X turned toward his Biomatch. "I believe his ego was bruised in addition to his body." He stared wistfully at vent before rotating back to Model Z. "Anyway, you are right to be training yourselves... I have a feeling things will only get worse from here."

Giro chuckled softly and patted Vent's shoulder, then went to get him a mug of that golden brew that Giro had an unhealthy fascination with.
"Have you considered doing a little sight seeing?" Giro suggested as he grabbed a clean mug and filled it with coffee, handing it to Vent and stepping aside to the boy could access the cream and sugar if he wanted it. "Take your communicator so if something does happen, we can get a hold of you and just go see some sights. Do things you've always wanted to do."
Giro glanced over to Model X as he commented on Vent's mental damage, but didn't comment as he wasn't sure if Vent had heard.
"I do not think that the previous attempt would be their last. Despite the blunders, who knows what kind of data they got on both the biometals and the biomatches." Model Z paused. "Or what they possibly did to those who were captured." He didn't think of it before, but what if whoever was behind the attack tagged the biomatches somehow, or the biometals? A trace? Or something more sinister? He didn't voice his concerns, but he kept them in mind.

Vent took the mug of freshly made coffee and blew on it, carefully sipping while he listened to Giro. "Nah..." He said after Giro offered his suggestions. "Maybe I just need to take a little vacation, something to wash all the stress off. Peace and quiet might be what I need." He didn't seem to notice anything the Biometals were saying. It seemed he'd learned to tune out private conversations being held nearby.
"After the incident, I ran a diagnostic scan on my systems. I... did not find anything out of the ordinary." There was an intonation in Model X's voice that implied he had the same fears as Model Z. He, too, made no mention.

"Alright then. Whatever you think will work." Giro said, walking back to the couch and sitting down.
He couldn't help but think back again to that incident. He tried to think of who could be behind it. There were the big four, but there were also so faces he didn't know. Those unknowns worried him. They didn't seem to be biomatches, but they still seemed dangerous and lethal...
Giro took a sip of his coffee and stared at the wall for a moment. Maybe he should pay a visit to Professor Ennertel? But what if she was in on that incident? Didn't seem likely, but...
Model Z didn't reply. They needed to rally and see what could be done.

Vent took a deeper swig from his mug of coffee and looked up at Giro. "What's on your mind, Boss?" He asked.
Model X shared in the awkward silence for some time, then hovered over to his Biomatch. "Vent," he said to him. "Hm?" Vent turned his attention away from Giro. "What do you make of the people who kidnapped us?"
"Oh, you mean... Well, I don't think I ever got a good look at them, to be honest. Did you?"
"Regrettably, I did not."
"Well, we know one thing." Vent set his mug down thoughtfully. "They were running that bogus Tournament to trick us. They had to get some kind of permit to rent that land, or the building. Maybe following the paper trail would give us some answers." Paper trail was of course a metaphorical statement. Nobody used paper anymore.
"What do you think Boss?" He turned back to Giro.

Giro paused. "Nothing." He said. Though then Model X brought up the topic for him, so he simply listened in silence.
When his opinion was asked, he sat the mug down on his knee as he sat and pondered. "The big four were among those guarding you and the biometals. There were also some new faces that I didn't recognize, but they were potent threats." He said. "For whatever reason, they went to such lengths to incapacitate as many bomatches as possible, and they almost succeeded." He paused. "There's someone we can go to, though, who might be able to help us."

"Oh really? Who's that?" Vent asked. He seemed to be getting more interested in the discussion as it proceeded. Model X watched and listened in silence, carefully considering everything. Hm... new threats? Troublesome. Obviously, more would need to be learned about these people, he thought to himself.
