The Air over the Dueling Badlands, En route to Westfel
Affected RP'ers: N/A

There were too many clouds for Theo's liking. Or more specifically, too many different types of clouds hovering at different heights. It made flying safely bothersome. The last thing he needed now was for some Lotus jerk to surprise him because he'd had to fly through a cloud and go blind for a few seconds. Still, otherwise it was pretty straight forward flight. It gave him plenty of time to think.

As he went around a large puffy cloud Theo leaned over to get a view of the plains below. He wished he could've flown over the highway and stayed above Julia and the others, being on his own was rather unnerving when flying into Lotus territory. This whole festival thing was unnerving in and of itself after all. When Julia had told him a week ago they'd been asked to join the Grand Lady and the Knights in competing for the Master Blaze Jewel it hadn't really seemed to make any sense- the two of them were just some mechanics after all.

"Crazy Weavile's probably has some crazy idea that got us into this Crazy mess." He muttered to himself, just as he had done every other time his thoughts had turned this direction.

"At least we had a week to prepare, I bet some people are going to get forced into this mess the day it starts." He kept talking, patting his plane's controls with affection. "Finally I can show you off... still need to name you but we'll have time for that later."

It occurred to him that he had started talking to no one again. Julia would've just laughed and asked if invisible ghosts were hanging around. As he shook his head he flew around yet another cloud and before him in the distance was Westfel. It didn't take long to spot the special hanger that had been acquired to hide his plane during the festival. It may be hard to see from the ground, but it was clear as day from the air. Smiling, he leaned over and turned on his speakers. Flight of the Valkyries came on, and he hummed along as he began his descent.

Highway 3, En route to Westfel

Julia was thoroughly enjoying herself. Despite some protests, she had opted to drive her monstrous destruction-derby car right down in the middle of the highway in order to get it to westfel with everyone else. Easily two to three times as tall as your average car, her presence was certainly known as other drivers gave her plenty of room. Of course, she was stuck driving behind the Armored RV that housed the rest of the knights going to the festival, but you couldn't have everything.

Deciding to liven thing up a bit Julia hit the horn button, blasting a sound as loud as a Train's horn across the highway. Then she leaned back, grabbed the wheel with her foot to keep it straight, and flicked on the radio. Some horrible scratchy music came out, prompting her to quickly fiddle with the dial to change channel. On came a live report of the festival's opening ceremony.

Talk about a mood killer, listening to that 'Queen's' voice. It made her question whether she'd made the right choice when Anthony had come asking for weapons and materials to fight in the festival with. Julia had responded that her price for helping was to be allowed was to have Theo and herself participate, which Anthony had granted once he'd heard why.

Julia shook her head. "No, it was the right choice. Theo needs this..." She muttered to herself, glaring up into the sky, imagining Theo's plane flying over head. Still, if there had been one thing she was unsure about it had to be how much she'd told that Mimikyu. To think Anthony's brother in law might be the very same Gallade that killed Theo's parents. She had to admit she wasn't entire sure about anthony having such a close interest in Theo. He wasn't a bad guy but... well maybe he could Theo to talk about the second half of the story behind his parent's death. She certainly had never gotten out of him.

"I've got too many problems. This festival better be the best stress reliever that ever existed." She muttered again, quite liking the idea of taking her frustration out in some violent road rage battles. Westfel loomed ahead of her, they'd be arriving soon. She wondered if Theo would get there before them.
