Golden Age: Revival

Allina: <...Hey. What are you guys doing here?>

Arthur<More surreal events have transpired.>
========================================
N"Trying to figure out how to get a boat."

R"We have Euryale looking into the possibility of building a raft."

"You can say that again..."

Arthur<More surreal events have transpired.>

Allina: <Okay.>

*Allina heads on over to the counter and greets the banker.*

Noct laughed, out loud, to the point that she had to wipe away a tear, "I'm sorry, that was just so unexpected I couldn't help but laugh. Usually when someone says 'you can say that again' it is a figure of speech, meaning they agree whole heartedly."

*Arthur looks around, a little bewildered.*

Arthur<Oh. I had no idea.>
===================================
*When she emerges from the bank, Euryale has joined the group.*

"It is alright, now you do," Noctis said, "I'm sure there are turns of phrase you could use that would be entirely alien to me. That is just the way language works."

Allina: <Oh. Hey. I'm going to go buy food.>

*She sighs and walks off to go to the stall from earlier.*

{...Bodies washing ashore on the coast of England, but police assure locals not to worry, it's quote "Just from a storm out at sea."}

<Oh, it's you again. Did you come to buy some fish?>
=====================================
Arthur<I suppose it is. I simply used a spell to modernize my English. Gilgamesh has simply lived long enough that he knows dozens of languages. Though I'm not sure how that boy Roatha managed it.>

Allina: <Is fish all you've got...?>

*Allina sort of mumbles her words as she turns her head to look at the TV, eyes wide open.*

"Who is Roatha?"

<I'm a fisherman. I sell fish. That's how this works, kid.>

*He follows her gaze.*

<Yeah. Weird shit going on lately, huh?>
====================================
Arthur<You've met him before. Let's see, what would you know him as...He was one of the children fighting against Nobunaga.>

Allina: <Hum... yeah...>

*She shakes it off and focuses on the stall.*

Allina: <Ah, fine. I'll take some fish. They'll be mad at me either way. Give me a bag of those.>

*She points at some mackerels.*

"Oh, right, them. I still can't believe that was only like, what, a month or two ago?"

Arthur<Well, they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder.>
========================================
*Nero shows up.*

N"Okay, so apparently we're going to fashion a raft & hope we don't drown."

Noct looked a bit down, "You can say that again..."

Arthur<Don't worry, you'll be amongst friends soon.>

Allina: <O-Okay.>

*Allina pays the fisherman, thanks him, and follows Nero.*

"And what friend might that be?"

Arthur<Roatha, for starters. His friends. I don't actually know them all by name.>
==================================
*Nero leads her to the bank of the river, where Euryale & Roatha collected a bunch of logs between a forearm's width & a football width, all just shy of 10 feet in length.*

E"Ripped 'em out of the ground myself."

R"And I helped hack them into shape."

N"We're gonna die."

"I am not friends with them, and they have no reason to be kind towards me," Noct said, "I was not kind to them when I first met them."

Allina: <...I don't want to get eaten by crocodiles.>

N"Statistically speaking, we'll probably drown before that happens."
=======================================
Arthur<Well, now is a great second chance to make a good impression.>

Allina: <That's a good thing, considering the alternative. Anyway, what are you going to use to tie the logs?>
