Golden Age: Revival

"Who are you calling shady, 'Blacky'?"

"You fucking hang around a high school all day, despite not being a student there."

"Justified. For twenty bucks I wash the first floor windows."

Allina: <EXACTLY. Finally! I'd high-five you if you weren't gross.>

*She turns to Mimiru after hopping off of the chopper.*

Allina: <Good point, I forgot about that. It's actually a good thing, I'm not sure I have enough money left to buy one plane ticket, much less six.>

"Hehe, she said you're gross."

N"Washing windows? I can't believe you actually think that makes you less creepy. Even you can't be that stupid."

"Twenty bucks is twenty bucks. Besides it's better than whatever you all did as I'm sure you were all fired for not showing up for several days."

Kyoujin had taken out a notepad and had quickly written down "Manticores from Africa", "Emperor Nobunga", "Thiera Psyche" and "Emperor's Aid".

Who is Thiera Psyche and what does all of this have to do with me?

Don't the people of your country have Google? Thiera Psyche is a wealthy businesswoman/archaeologist from England. She recently donated a statue to a school in your area, which turned up missing. We have reason to believe it was a Gorgon, & that she is responsible for experimenting with various beasts that you would consider "mythological." As for where you come in, that is not something I can explain over the internet.
=========================================
N"Well, Roatha & Euryale probably don't have jobs, Allina is apparently rich, Mimiru can probably work the corner wherever she goes, I quit citing health reasons, & Taiyo is...Taiyo."

"Afraid your employer wouldn't believe you're lost in the Yucatan or wherever we are that week? Feels good to make my own hours and not have to worry about someone breathing down my neck."

Mimiru:<Except you can't wash windows for shit.>

"Shhhh."

To check the guy's story, Kyoujin switched to a different tab, opened Google and searched Thiera Psyche.
She didn't go long before finding that the information given to her was true. The next phrases she wrote on her notepad was next to the name Thiera Psyche- 'business woman/archaeologist' then 'Gorgon'.

How can I know for sure that you are who you say you are?

The fact that you've just accessed a website provided by the Japanese equivalent of the CIA isn't enough for you?

*The door opens & Kyojin's friend comes back in.*
=========================================
N"Also, you're not making money right now, anyway. Hell, they probably found a new window guy, who'll work for less."

Kyoujin looked up at her friend and frowned, do I want to get her involved in this? I mean.. After so long I shouldn't have second thoughts but... if anything happened...

Deciding that it would be a betrayal to keep it from her friend, she smiled and called out, "Come look at this!"

I guess it is... can we arrange a meet?

OOC: The first text in italics is thoughts, not messages.

"It's okay. There are plenty of people who are too lazy to mow their own lawn or do simple tasks like that. Whenever we actually get to stay in the country I'll just have to take advantage of that. Hopefully I can be recognized without my jacket."

[That jacket was my indentity. Because my ID was sewn inside of it.]

N"Doesn't Euryale still have your jacket?"
===================================
Absolutely. Name a time & place.

"That was my sweater and we've established she can keep it or burn it or something. I really don't want it back now that it's been smeared with blood. While my jacket was torn to shreds by a mutant dog cerberus thing."

Allina: <Shut up and let's go already, people!>

The day after it is, then.

<Weird. I don't know what else to say.>
===============================
N"I still don't know who's going where."

"We're apparently staying here to drag Euryale somewhere while trying to look as unsuspicious as possible while the girls go to Egypt. Shouldn't be too hard."

N"Oh, very well. I guess we'll have to use Allina's rich family to mail us our stuff."

~Later, on 2 separate planes~

*A stewardess has been standing just behind Azuma, Euryale (sleeping in the middle), & Nero for the whole flight.*

N"Will you stop LEERING at me? No one is going to get raped."

*It probably doesn't help that they had to remove Euryale's armor to send it as luggage, so she's now dressed in quite skimpy clothing, practically just underwear.*
=========================================
*The second plane lands in a sandy airport in Egypt. They can see the pyramids outside the windows.*

"Told you removing her armor wasn't a good idea."

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

"Maybe we'll get to see a revolution that isn't just pissed off people yelling outside of a government building."

Allina: <Don't be mean Mimi. I know you'd prefer seing people throwing punches around, but that's not the best way to handle most things that aren't Nero or Azuma.>

N"I don't know if we COULD let her keep it on. And she'd probably wake up with sores. Besides, I like her better this way."

*The stewardess is shaking with internal rage as the plane gets close to the airport.*
======================================
*Another stewardess approaches them.*

<Ladies...I'm afraid you have to get off of the plane now.>

"And that's when the air martial arrests you. Or the stewardess assualts you with a tray."

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

"Don't call me Mimi."

*Mimiru exits the plane with Taiyo following behind.*

Taiyo:<Can I still call you Mimi?>

"Yeah, sure."
