Golden Age: Revival

*Euryale is staring out the window.*

???1<Look who finally decided to show up for the last week of school. >

???2<'Cept that weird goth kid.>

???1<He probably dropped out.>

Mimiru:<After dropping you off we ran into him and he seemed all bummed out. Talking about dying or something. You'd think he'd been feeling better with that phone call he made to the news this morning.>

"He made a phone call to the news this morning?"

Mimiru:<Yeah. He was saying something stupid like how he's glad Nobunaga's dead.>

"So..." Luna began talking, looking down at her own mug of coffee, "What do you think's gonna happen now?"

"I... don't know. I'd rather not think about it, I just want to stay here, in peace."

"You shouldn't think like that" Luna sighed, "The world isn't going to wait for you and me, and we have to be ready when things get rocky again."

"I guess..." Kyoujin said, looking back up at the TV and taking a deep breath, "But... I just don't want this... those peop-"

"You have to remember that you have no control over this situation, Kyoujin" Luna said forcefully, "The only reasonable thing you can do is make the best of this. There is nothing you could have done to stop it, so don't just ignore it."

Kyoujin shoot a side long look at Luna before turning away and letting out a long sigh.

*Allina glares at him and goes to sit down at her desk. Ari looks around awkwardly. After sitting down, Allina takes out a blank sheet of paper and a pencil.*

[Hmmm... I'm not exactly an artist... Maybe I should just write something to cheer her up.]

OOC: Neo Y U no give Noctis response?

<I do not know. But we must be here for a reason.>

*He touches the cross.*

<Hmm...what we're looking for is further down the river.>
=========================================
{Will Allina Daelph, Euryale Rakshashi, Nero Schwarz, Taiyo Shikasu, & Mimiru Tugai please come to the principal's office.}

Mimiru:<What now?>

"Does he know Blacky's not here?"

*The two get up and leave the room.*

*Allina frowns at the blank paper, puts it away, and gets up, following Mimiru and Taiyo to the principal's office. Ari looks around, rather creeped out by the creepy voice with no body.*

*They meet with the cool bald guy in his office again. He's standing behind his desk & staring out the window.*

<I just received a call from Thiera Psyche. She tells me that Roatha has been taken to a private hospital, & will not be attending the rest of his classes. Where is Nero?>

Mimiru:<No one knows.>

"Did she say if Roatha will be okay?"

Allina: <Yeah, how is Roatha?>

<She refused to tell me anymore. What happened?>

Mimiru:<He had an accident. We don't know all the details except it was a bad one.>

Allina: <Y-Yeah. Wanna let us skip school for the day so we can go and give him our support?>

<Why do you tell such obvious lies? I thought we were cooperating.>

Mimiru:<Why would we lie?>

Noctis let out a small sigh, "Wonderful, lets get hiking then."

<That's what I want to know...I'm afraid I have no choice but to tell your parents what I know.>
===========================================
<Perhaps we could procure a boat, should we sumble across a native tribe?>

Mimiru:<And what do you know?>

Allina: <Yeah, what do you know again?>

[Might need to tell dad to have the hospital's psychiatric wing's number ready.]

Noctis thought she might be able to make a shadow boat, but didn't trust her powers, much the same way she didn't trust the shadow-chute. "Maybe, do you know where we are exactly, would you be able to speak their language?"

<Not at all.>

*As they walk down the mountain, they come to a shallow stream winding through the jungle.*

<I would imagine that, if we are to find such a village, it will be where this stream becomes a river.>
=========================================
<I know that you've been travelling the world, often at Thiera Psyche's direction. I know that you've been at the site of many dangerous or monumental occurances, such as the deposing of President Koshkey. I know that I will likely be fired & possibly jailed for admitting that I covered all of this up. But there is no other choice. This has become far too dangerous to simply allow you to continue.>

"Then the logical thing to do would be to follow it down. Regardless if we hit a village or not, following a river usually leads to civilization eventually."

Kyoujin took a deep breath before standing up and looking at Luna, "I'm such an idiot! I just realized that... that we should speak to her parents.."
"Deborah's parents?"
"Obviously" Kyoujin nodded, "Let's go. I don't think they would even have heard that she was dead by now, unless the police could identify her from what was left..."
"Well, we should go then." Luna nodded before they left the house and got in a car, heading for Deborah's house.

Mimiru:<All unfortunate coincidences.>
