City of Amnesia

Lilith tilting her head along with Zell surprised her. Zell smiled and leaned forward a bit, and tilted her head the other way, wondering if Lilith would mimic her actions again.

Topaz: <...What happens now?>

<Alrighty then. Bye.>
================================
*He stands up.*

<Don't forget your real job, Vega Ballentyne.>
================================
T"I'm not sure. I just know that Paradigm is planning something."
================================
L"Don't play games at the breakfast table."

"Goodbye."

*She hangs up and sighs in relief.*

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

*He turns around.*

"I'm sorry, but what was that?"

Zell hung her head a bit disappointed, "Sorry..."

Topaz: <Involving these... what are they called again?>

T"Megadeuses. And yes, I believe they're collecting them. I also believe that the Megadeus are primarily weapons. Who they want to fight, that I am not entirely clear on."
================================
*She puts on a big, creepy smile.*
================================
<Oh, probably just the senile ramblings of an elderly tomato farmer.>

*He smiles at Vega & sits back down in his rocking chair.*

<Yes, I think the tomatoes should be ready by the end of the week. Oh, that's tomorrow, isn't it?>

"Okay..."

*Vega backs away, turns and begins to walk away real fast.*

Zell looks up, "Is there something you find amusing?"

Topaz: <So, do you intend to fight back or something of the like?>

"You."
==================================
"If it comes to that, then yes."
==================================
*He exits the Dome without incident to find that the Megadeus is gone, but a block of road is blocked off by the military.*

Topaz: <So that is why you are now also collecting them.>

*Vega takes another route back to the work site.*

Zell raised her eyebrows, "You find me amusing? How so?"

<Did you get the tomatoes?>
==================================
"Sure, if you want."
==================================
"You organisms & your emotions."

Topaz: <I think I'll be going now.>

*To avoid any further phone calls Hitomi leaves with a book under her arm and goes to the park.*

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

"Yes."

"What about my emotions?" Zell asked a bit confused.

"They amuse me."
=======================================
"You do that. Make sure no one sees you leave here."
=======================================
*In the park, she finds herself surrounded by angrily quacking ducks.*
=======================================
<You hear that, guys? The BLTs are on!>

Topaz: <One more thing.>

*She looks at the Megadeus, sighs, and shrugs.*

Topaz: <Never mind, it's nothing. Where's the exit?>

Zell let out a sigh, "That wasn't what I meant. What about my emotions amuses you?"

Luna is still driving, I guess?

*The Megadeus is long gone.*
===============================
"They're funny."
===============================
"Back the way you came."

"What about my amusing, emotions do you find funny?" Zell said, almost positive Lilith was talking in circles on purpose.

*Topaz shrugs and walks up the tunnel.*
