Golden Age: Revival

Allina: <He won't answer... I'm starting to get really worried.>

*She calls Luna.*

*A tree falls over in front of them, creating a bridge to a cave.*

<It appears this is where our quest was meant to lead.>
===========================================
E"You don't think he's going to--you know--shortcut the Fates?"

Noct didn't want to go into a cave, "Or it could just be mere coincidence."

Azuma:<And for those not from the time when monster roaming the earth was a regular thing that means?>

Allina: <I think she might be implying he's considering suicide. Which is ridiculous... I hope.>

E"That is what it means. And monsters ARE roaming the earth today."
==============================================
<Nonsense, do not be afraid, young maiden!>

*He hops onto the tree & holds a hand out to help her.*

Azuma:<Impossible. He's too.. proud? To do something like that. And what I meant was when monsters roamed the earth and no one gave it a second thought.>

I'm going to regret this. She thought, taking his hand and going along with him.

The car was pulled up just outside of a park when Luna's phone rang.
"Who's calling?" Luna asked.

Meanwhile, on the seat right next to Luna, Kyoujin was staring sourly at Luna's poorly recommended comfort food she bought at McDonalds.

Allina: <Hi, Luna, it's Allina. Remember me? So, anyway, me and the others were just about to grab some lunch at a greek restaurant and thought maybe you guys would like to join us? I realize Kyoujin's been... kind of moody because of us and all of this so...>

"I guess that'd be cool..." Luna replied, casting a curious look over at Kyoujin, "We really have nothing else to do, so if Kyoujin wants to get lunch too..."

"Whatever."

"She doesn't mind. Where should we go?"

Allina: <We're going to a restaurant near the beach. It's close to Thiera's beach house, do you kow how to get there?>

"Umm..." Luna looked at Kyoujin again, who nodded, "Yeah. See you there?"

Allina: <All right!>

*She hangs up.*

Allina: <Luna and Kyou are meeting us there.>

"That was nice" Luna smiled as she put her phone down, "...Now that I think of it, I don't remember giving out my number. Oh well."

"That Thiera woman probably found it, or they could have looked you up." Kyoujin suggested as they drove towards the beach.

Azuma:<What a horrible thing to do. Why would you do that?>

*Euryale's stomach growls noisily.*

"Are we going yet?"
====================================
*In the cave, they walk along a gradually sloping path until they come to a pond underground. At the end is an ornate door like a Greek temple, flanked by columns, with images of torture on top. Gallahad strides forward into the pond, sinking up to his knees.*

Allina: <Oh, c'mon, can't we all be friends? And yes!>

*Allina walks off towards the beach.*

*The three just follow along.*

Noctis, after being nearly killed by magic a few times now, is on high alert, "Is... is it safe to go in the water?"

*They arrive wherever.*

E"Thank the Gods, I'm starved."
==================================
<Oh, absolutely. As for this door on the other hand...well, although I have some reservations, surely we have been drawn here for a greater purpose.>

Noctis takes a few steps forward, "I guess I shouldn't mistrust you, but I will defer all potentially dangerous door openings to you."

Allina: <Yay!>

*Allina goes to sit at an empty table.*

=====

*Ari is sitting at his desk, alone in the classroom. He looks around, feeling hungry, then gets up and wanders off.*

"We're going to get kicked out, aren't we?"

Azuma:<If we're lucky it'll just be her.>

*They all get kicked out.*

E"Next time, don't just charge in & bowl over the 'Please Wait to be Seated' sign! You fucking moron!"

*Euryale's stomach growls noisily several times.*
========================================
*The water is freezing cold. Gallahad pushes with all of his might & the door begins to creek open.*
========================================
*He encounters a snake in the hallway. It hisses at him.*
