Golden Age: Revival

E"I have to go to...something."

*She rushes off out of the room in such a hurry that she knocks her chair over. Nearly Taiyo, as well.*

N"Well, that was odd."

*Thinking for a minute, Nero turns on the news. The reporter is interviewing a guy with a labcoat. The caption identifies him as someone who works for "Psyche Research Labs."*

Scientist<...some sort of high-frequency wavelength emitted from its eyes is capable of mineralizing bodily tissues, but strangely, only if it enters the eyes of the organism first. We're still working on deciphering the specifics of the reaction.>

Reporter<Wouldn't that mean that Ms. Psyche is now in possession of both one of the largest fortunes & one of the most dangerous weapons in the world?>

Scientist<Haha. Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. What's she going to do? Conquer the world?>

"That's not ominous at all, no siree."

*Mimiru looks away from the window as Azuma walks in the classroom his jacket unbuttoned shaking the collar of the sweater he's wearing underneath it.*

"You idiot, are you trying to get heat stroke?"

Azuma:<Maybe I am. Why are you worried?>

*Mimiru looks away blushing.*

"Shut up!"

Taiyo:<You two are so cute!>

*Taiyo walks over to Mimiru's desk and holds out a hand. Azuma sits in a desk beside Mimiru.*

Taiyo:<I'm Taiyo.>

Mimiru:<I'm Mimiru.>

*Mimiru shakes Taiyo's hand.*

Aiden puts his hands in his pockets after fixing Euryale's chair. He then proceeds to sit down.

"Though you are right about one thing Nero, she is beautiful. She has pretty eyes."

"No one was looking at her eyes, I guarantee that much."

*He glances at Taiyo.*

"Meh."

"I was" Aiden says cheerfully.

"Sure you were, "Creepy Stalker"."

Azuma:<Are you talking about that weird girl who almost barreled me over when I was on my way here?>

Taiyo:<I bet she's just shy. I'm gonna introduce myself to her.>

*Taiyo runs out of the room.*

"Yeah. We didn't catch her name because she ran out of here in a panic whenever we tried gawking to her. Talking to her."
===================================================
*Taiyo catches a glimpse of her entering the bathroom.*

Allina: <Well, nice to meet you too!>

*Allina yells at Taiyo as she runs out*

Allina: <So, we should make use of her reward and go to Hawaii for the weekend.>

Azuma:<Yeah, I don't need to imagine anything to know how that went.>

"And you didn't say or do anything because...?"

Azuma:<She looked like she was on a mission. I wasn't going to interfere.>

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

*Taiyo stops at the door.*

[This is a little far to go for an introduction...]

"Oh well."

*She walks into the bathroom.*

"Or Greece."

N"I like Hawaii."
=================================================
*When she enters the bathroom, she sees the unnamed girl poking at her cheeks & staring in a mirror.*

"C-aaat. Cat. Dog. Pom-uh-grahn-at."

Azuma:<You sure you won't burst into flames or sparkle or whatever happens to you overly pale types when you come into contact with direct sunlight?>

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

*Taiyo stands by the door unsure what to say or do.*

"...Hi?"

"But what of the culture and the history of Greece?"

*She jumps a little before spotting Taiyo in the mirror.*

"Umm...hello. I was...doing nothing. I assure you."
=================================================
"Hey, no one's stopping you from going. As I hear it, vampires just lose power during the day. Guess the moon isn't bright enough."

Allina: <Hawaii it is, then!>>

"Are you calling me a twifag?"

Azuma:<Yeah, I don't want to go to Hawaii. If I want sun and sand I'll wander the outback.>

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

"Okay..."

*She smiles as if nothing at all happened and extends a hand*

"I'm Taiyo."

"Hawaii also has water & lush plants. And bikini-clad women."
===============================================
*She turns around & reluctantly grabs her hand.*

"Umm...Euryale."

Azuma:<This country has beaches which may have two out of three of those. What I'm really getting at is I really don't want to go to Hawaii.>

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

"Wanna be best friends?"

"Nero has a point... but so does Azuma..."

Allina: <We should go to Russia and live like heremits in some isolated mountain hut.>

"You don't want to be friends with me. No one does. No one ever has. Not for over a thousand years, it seems."
==================================================
"I just hope the girls get done with the exposition soon so we can get moving."

"Allina could go check on them."

Allina: <Why me? You're the creepy stalker.>

*She walks out and over to the girls' bathroom*

Azuma:<Russia sounds nice.>

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

"No, I'm pretty sure I want to be your friend."

[Over a thousand years? She looks good for her age.]
