TBH, I'm not sure. I bet it's some kind of demonic teleportion, but it can't move real life, so we have to take the ol' fashioned way. [ she offers ren a hand and leads her toward the balcony. ]
[ aaaand she's going to drag ren straight off the balcony. LOL. it's time to free fall for a bit, though she'll henshin and drag ren into her arms long before they're going to hit the ground. ]
[ she lands, clutching her closely, making a small crater as she kicks up a bunch of dust and debris. ]
[She had no time to be scared before she was in her arms and the air was whipping around them. Between that and the fall she felt like her heart was going to burst out of her chest. Before she knew it she was clinging onto her, burying her face into Dva’s shoulder.]
Y-yeah. It surprised me.
[She certainly wasn’t afraid of heights or the jump. It was being embraced that was throwing her off. It takes her a minute to actually let go but before that she absorbs the fact that she’s hugging her in return and she can hear Dva’s pulse so close and steady.]
Ah, sorry just- [She needed that minute and then immediately tried to put a little distance between them but not outside of her embrace.]
Do you travel like that a lot?
[She was staring at her in awe a bit, a small smile opening up on her face. The adrenaline was still hitting her a bit.]
I do. [ she chuckles, a bit out of breath, herself, since the burst of adrenaline always gets her, but she doesn't immediately force ren out of her arms, and gives her a couple of seconds to catch her own breath. ] It's a lot faster then waiting for the elevator and having to standing there as it goes down each floor.
[ she dehenshins and offers her a hand, leading her to the garage that she's got to unlock with her phone. inside, the car is waiting! ] It's time to start our shooting range building search~ y'Ready?
Yes, it is a bit convenient. Even with wings, I don't think I could do something like that myself.
[It had been scary and thrilling, but now that she was on the ground again her heart was back to normal. She takes Dva's hand and follows her to the car.]
Mm. I'm ready. [Smiling softly while she runs her fingers across the edge of the hood on the passenger side.]
I was wondering - D.va... I've never heard a name like that before. I'm surprised it never occurred to me to ask about it.
Iiii wouldn't recommend it. I couldn't do it without Henshin, if I'm being honest.
[ as soon as she's inside and the car is started she pulls out of the garage and the girls are off and setting out on the open road. ]
Heh. It's not my real name. My squad and I all have, ah, stage names, I guess you could call them. And me and a close friend of mine must have chosen them together, because I'm D.Va and she's D.Mon. [ chuckles. ] And then there's King, Casino, and Overlord. I don't know if I ever mentioned things back home, but we were fighting a war, and it kind of seemed like it was heavily publicized and we were pretty famous because of it. Like, I even have sponsors, k- kinda like my profile implies, so I imagine we may have streamed our fights or something. I'm not entirely sure, but having cool handles just sorta fight the over-the-top persona of it all, I guess.
[ she continues driving along the street, taking a turn here and there. ] I haven't seen a lot of fights, but the few that I have seen, yeah, they weren't really that great. [ a halfhearted laugh. ] Close? Yeah, we were really closed, and I really miss all of them.
I'm glad. I... don't really remember what friends I had. I remember I was in school and there were other students I was friendly with, but the one friend I had wasn't a very good person in the end.
[It had been her first memory here, actually. She looks a little self conscious for a moment, before explaining.]
She ended up doing something that seriously injured my sister and I, but we both managed to make it out okay. [Quickly adding-] I've made a lot of really good friends here, though - including you.
It is kind of a blessing and a curse to remember friends from home, because missing them... it sure is a thing. [ she huffs a sigh, slowing down as they reach a relatively long building that she thinks might work fantastically for a shooting range. ]
...o- oh? I'm sorry, Ren. [ frowns. ] It must have hurt to be betrayed by a supposed good friend of yours, but I'm glad you and your sister managed to get out safely and find out about her true colors before something even more terrible could have happened. [ but her frown is quickly replaced by a smile. ] Me too. And I consider you a good friend too.
It does seem like because a lot of us, here, have come from an assortment of backgrounds we're much more varied in what we like. It's cool that you've met so many people that share the same interests as you.

[Not that it matters. She's pretty demonic herself - what with the wings, horns, and tail.]
Oh. [Taking her hand and following towards he balcony.]
I think I get it.

Much more fun than the elevator, yeah?

Re: Day 284 - Late Morning
[She's a bit in awe that Dva seems to have experienced so many things, even if some of it sounds bad. She's never been involved in a war.]
That must have been terrifying, fighting all the time. Were you and the rest of the team?
[She wanted her to at least have some happiness, amid all of that. Friends were important.]

Re: Day 284 - Late Morning
[Ah, but then talking about this just makes things depressing, right?]
I don't think I could ever find a friend back home who enjoys guns like I do!
