Re: Cid/Vivi/Cormac/Riyeko/Open?
Cid arrived with a need to do something, anything that might go a long way in helping. He didn't have any fancy sort of inventions to use at the moment, but he did have his spells and he knew he could use those rather successfully. Yet, to make sure he was able to use those spells at the top of their power, he had to have enough time, as began the necessary calculations for extracting these spells in their most efficient and powerful manner. Rod was brought out, and his mind began to swim through the complex equations that were in front of his self-conscious.
He noted a monster getting closer and found himself needing to back up as the spell was gathered and strength began to fill. The monster was shot though, stopped in its tracks by someone out of sight. Cid chose to ignore the surprise of this a moment, and instead focus on the advantageous nature of its arrival. Gathering his thoughts, he waited a couple of moments more, before finally able to join in the excitement.
Finally, with the equation solved, he was able to tap into the strength of the spell and with an uttering of the appropriate phrase, and his rod was thrust forward and into the air. The darkened clouds seemed to split open and a bolt of lightning shot down through the rod, collecting around its center, and then he threw it forward to watch as the monster before him, the one that had already been shot, was sent sailing back by the spell's strength.
"BRILLIANT! Never actually tried that one in actual combat, was a bit surprised really," he wasn't really talking to anyone persay, but as he spun around he noted Cormac nearing and figured his assistant had been the one with the gun. He also noted the thing in the holster.
"What obnoxious contraption have you brought today Cormac?! Also, I believe the monsters are here because of the storm, it seems to be drawing them. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense though, but it can't be coincidence."
