Golden Age: Revival

"Well... I thought that you and the Unwashed Weirdo were... well... you know... A couple."

=====================================================

"Why'd you wake me up and drag me out of my nice, cozy apartment? After all that crap with monsters, people with bad taste in jackets, and my jacket being eaten by a monster, I kinda want to sleep in for once."

Mimiru:<That's stupid. What you should be doing is taking advantage of what time you'll have before a Monster of the Week shows up. I also want ice cream.>

"I can meet you guys there" Ren says. "Take Isaac and blondie."

*Euryale scratches the back of her head.*

E"Umm...you know...I'm not really sure yet."

R"I'm not taking him."

*He points at Lune & walks away.*

N"I guess we'll meet back at Taiyo's house at 2. Gotta have time to get through the airport."
===========================================
*Thiera grins.*

T"You must know me from a long time ago, I take it?"

Allina: <All righty!>

*She strolls away*

=====

*He steps back and stares at her*

Ari: <Y-Yes.>

*He narrows his eyes, staring into hers*

[She feels different...]

"I hate you too Roatha" Lune sticks his tongue out.

*Taiyo's head snaps up a look of fear on her face.*

"...Y-y-yet?"

=====================================================

*The two are walking down the street each with an ice cream cone.*

"Now what?"

Mimiru:<Well first of all...>

*Mimiru pulls his ice cream hand towards her face and takes a bite of the ice cream.*

Mimiru:<It's... okay.>

"Think the others are going to show up out of nowhere for some wild adventure?"

Mimiru:<God, I hope not.>

Isaac yawns and wakes up, "..."

*Roatha strides past them, muttering angrily.*

"We're goin' to South America. 2 o'clock. Be at Taiyo's."
======================================
"Well...I dunno. In my time, you kinda weren't supposed to date. So it's kinda hard for me to sort this out. I mean, at times he seems to sort of get my siuation, but other times, it's like we're in completely different worlds. I miss my old life, he doesn't, I want to sort my life out, he's concerned with...well, me, I guess...& he's adjusted so much more easily than I have."
======================================
<Let me explain, Ari. It's been almost 2 1/2 millenia since that fateful day. But do not despair. I am the same Thiera you knew back then. Perhaps not in body, status, or memory, but in the spirit. I am absolutely certain that I am her reincarnation. Sometimes, in meditation, I recall memories...of a knight who turned into a monster to raise my sister to nobility, of ancient medicine I used to practice...& of a battle on Avalon, where I believed you died. But in modern times, I got ahold of book that told me this wasn't true. A diary that was left to me by one of my oldest friends, which is the secret to my vast wealth & success.>

"All right. I'll just wave my magic wand and poof my way to a house I don't know the location of."

Mimiru:<Why do we have to meet at Taiyo's?>

Lune's stomach growls, "Uh... Taiyo... got anything to eat?"

*Ari steps back some more and widens his eyes*

Ari: <W-What? It's been that long? But I... Thiera died? Everyone died!? No, this isn't possible. They never told me it had been this long...!>

"I just came from that way. It's not hard to find at all."

*He points back."
=========================================
"I thought it was better for you to hear the truth now, rather than find out later."

"I suppose that makes sense... But I think I'd have been happier not knowing."

=====================================================

"My weekend sucks and it's all your fault?"

Mimiru:<What the hell did I do?>

"First you woke me and dragged me out of my home. And then you made me buy you ice cream. And now this."

Mimiru:<Well you jinxed it by bringing up them showing up to drag us on some wild adventure. So if anything it's your fault, stupid.>

"...Shut up."

Ari: <B-but then... Master Lilith, Thiera, Lady Kelphy, Sir Arthur... everyone... everyone's gone?>

*He falls to his knees, now staring blankly at the sand*

[This can't be.]

Lune's stomach continues to growl.

<Actually, I'm lead to believe that there are a few survivors. King Arthur, for instance, although I don't know where to find him.>
========================================
E"Umm...can I stay here for breakfast?"

*He staggers to his feet, biting his lip*

Ari: <...What will I do now? ...I didn't even get to say goodbye..>

"Okay. But not him! He can stay outside and eat grass."

*She points at Lune then the dry, prickly lawn.*

=====================================================

"Any idea what time it is?"

Mimiru:<Nope.>

"Any idea what could have what's his name's jimmies rustled?"

Mimiru:<Nope.>

<You know...there are bad people who are looking for the King even as we speak.>
========================================
~2:00~

*Nero & Roatha show up & just kinda barge right in Taiyo's house.*

E"Is it time already?"

Lune had returned with a cheese burger some time ago and was laying on the roof of the house. Isaac had come inside and was sitting against the wall asleep in a somewhat cute fashion. Ren still outside.

"How'd he get in?!"

*She points to Isaac because why the hell is he in her house and how the hell did he get in?*

=====================================================

"I suppose this is the place."

Mimiru:<It was Nero and what's his name barging in that gave it away wasn't it?>

"Yes."

*Ignoring Ren, the two walk up to the house and knock on the open door.*

Mimiru:<The door's open and Nero and what's his name are standing right there. Why are you knocking?>

*Allina yells from Taiyo's kitchen*

Allina: <I can't find the muffins!>

=====

Ari: <...I never became a true knight back then... I-I guess it's time for me to fulfill my duty as a squire of Camelot. W-Will you help me ....Thiera?>

<Of course I will.>
===============================================
N"Aren't you guys ready yet? C'mon, the bus'll be here soon!"

Lune floats down from the roof and yawns. "Yeah really... and I think Allina let Isaac in and he just sort of passed out at the doorway. Guess he hasn't been getting much sleep lately."

"We just got here? What the hell is happening?"

Taiyo:<I packed stuff. I just don't want to get dressed.>
