God Yet Lives

Noct was almost a bit insulted, but smiled, and cuddled with Euryale.

--

"Did it sound like he said shock fences to you?" Sab quietly asked Aroma.

Kira clicked his fingers, "Kuyo Shibari."

Presuming the Kido worked, he clicked once more, "Kurohitsugi."

*The next morning, Euryale slept in past 1, which was unusual for her.*
=========================================
A"Weren't we talking about sex? He doesn't seem like he'd be into that...or does he, you think?"

L"This place looks kind of weird."

S"It doesn't surprise me that you wouldn't recognize it. This building dates back to the Meiji Restoration. Back then, it was fashionable to dress like George Washington."

L"Who is George Washington?"

S"Huge sections of city were fire bombed at the end of the Second World War. This probably escaped destruction because it was out in the wilderness."
=========================================
*Noah slashes through the first Kido. He emerges from the second in his Hollow Mask, with only minor lacerations. His speed now greatly increased, he appears behind Kira. Netzach appears behind him, & when Noah slices "him" in half with his wing, he explodes into white energy, blowing half of Noah's wing apart.*

Kira pulls on his hollow mask and dashes away from Noah. When Noah's wing is damaged, Kira tries to capture him in golden Kido chains.

It isn't unusual for Noct at all, so she continues her cuddles.

--

"I try not to think about Senthose and sex at once," Sab replied.

A"I don't get it."

S"...Once again, I miss conversing with the Gillians."

L"I'm sorry, History of the Living World isn't exactly taught at the academy."

S"Well, at least you're listening."

*Senthose produces a black card that reads Xcution & walks up to the door. The only modern modification is an electronic lock with an apparatus for swiping a card, which Senthose does. He then opens the door, revealing a large entryway with red carpet, several halls, & 2 curved staircases leading to a second floor.*
=======================================
*Euryale keeps sleeping.*
=======================================
*Some of the discarded feathers quiver & move no further. Most stab into the chains, causing them to crack & shatter. Netzach claps his hands, producing several white arrows. When Noah swings to block them, they demolish the other half of the building in a large explosion. Netzach produces another black cloak from his pocket & tosses it to Kira.*

<That won't stall him for long. This should hide you from the Soul Society & the Arrancars. Keep a low profile, & wait for one of us to come back from Hell.>

Noct keeps cuddling, and all is right with the world, until Noct realizes that it isn't, and shakes Euryale slightly to make sure she isn't dead or something.

--

Mortal fucks off to find a room big enough for three.

*That describes all of the bedrooms, & some of the closets.*
==============================================
*Euryale grabs Noct roughly by the shoulder & turns over, raising a fist. She blinks a few times, then lets go, dropping her guard.*

"...Noctis? Don't wake me suddenly like that, it always used to mean I was being attacked by a Hollow. Sorry if I scared you. I didn't hurt you, did I?"

Noctis let out a sigh of relief, "Sorry, you were sleeping later than you usually do. I just wanted to make sure you were alright. Now that I know, lets get back to sleep." Noct put her arms around Euryale's neck, and gave her a small kiss, before laying back down.

--

Mortal picks the first room she finds with a big enough bed, and lays down, exhausted. Sab follows along, finds what room Mortal has picked, then goes on the hunt for a shower, or bath.

*Euryale gets up & starts rummaging through drawers.*

"No, once I'm up, I can't get back to sleep. I think I'll just wear my swimsuit today. What do you think? ...And are you sure you're all right?"
======================================
*Aroma wanders into the kitchen & opens up the fridge door to find that it's half raspberry tea & half vodka.*

A"...Was he planning on having guests?"

*She then produces some vegetables from the crisper drawer & sets to making a salad.*

Astarte stood next to Senthose, unsure whether or not she should claim a room like the others seemed to be doing.
This place is horrible.
After looking at Senthose for a moment as though expecting direction, she wandered slowly away to a bedroom.

When Enkidu finally reached the outcrop he climbed up onto the tallest boulder and looked around, hoping to find a cave entrance somewhere.

Noct is thoroughly disappointed, "You'll look great, and yes, I'm fine. I'm going to try and get a bit more shut eye though."

--

Mortal and Sab trade places, with Sab taking a small nap, and Mortal getting into a shower.

"You want me to run?" Kira asked while putting on the cloak.

*Aera ignores Iris and also climbs up to a high spot when they arrive.*

<If that dick keeps blowing up buildings, the Soul Society really will show up.>

*Noah emerges from the demolished building, the rest of his wing dispersing into the air. He also holds his blade up so that a blast of pressure forces them lower to the ground.*

<God damn it. See what happens when you don't follow instructions?>
===================================
"That's fine. I just worry, you know. About my FullBring running amok when I'm not in complete control of it."

*Euryale begins switching out her undergarments for her bikini.*
===================================
*Having finished her dinner or snack or whatever, Aroma wanders into the bedroom. She lies down beside Sab & quickly falls asleep.*
===================================
*Senthose crosses Astarte's doorway soon afterwards. The sound of a phone being dialed comes from in the hallway.*
===================================
*There are quite a few caves, but none with an entrance exceeding 8 feet.*

Aera: <Great. What do you suggest we do now, Mr.Mystery?>

*Iris also climbs up to look.*

*Taiyo is sitting at the other end of the table, slowly eating her own food.*

"It's good."

Sab begins to cuddle, and falls asleep as well. Mortal returns and is disappointed to find both of them asleep, so she leaves the room to go look around.

--

"It can do that?" Noct's mind envisioned massive earthquakes wreaking Jamaica simply because Euryale overslept.

"When I feel like I'm in danger, my head gets a bit...fuzzy. Sometimes, I shoot-first-&-ask-questions-later. I guess joining up with Xcution helped, I feel a lot more in control than I ever did. But when I'm just waking up from a dream, or startled when I'm half-asleep...that's a different story. A fractured rib or two, suddenly the neighbor kids don't want to have sleepovers anymore. Ever since you moved in, I've been afraid that it might happen. I've tried to tell you before, but I guess I just made it sound like I'm crabby in the mornings, or something."

*She gathers her occipital hair & ties it back into a single, short tail.*
==================================
*Mortal passes Senthose on the phone, who suddenly breaks out in a sulky, female voice.*

"Hey, John...my vacation? It's going good, I guess. Yeah, I just got finished stress-testing my matress with Euryale. So...about that thing you told me? Oh...oh he did...who is that, again? Right, right. I gotta go now, I have to go glare angrily at mother's day cards."

*He then hangs up & clears his throat violently.*
====================================
"I'm glad you like it."

*Venezuela grabs a handful of meat & noodles & slurps it down.*

Mortal peeks into the room, putting a hand on the doorway, "What was that about? You sounded like that glum girl, you sounded a lot like her actually... Can you mimic anyone else?"

--

"I'm sorry, I'll remember to just let you sleep in then," Noct replied, half asleep herself.

*Taiyo nods and continues eating. Slowly like someone does when they're not feeling well.*

"...You don't look like you're enjoying it."
=========================================
"I don't want you to feel like you aren't safe around me."
=========================================
*Senthose gets all stiff & marches down the hall, in the direction Mortal came from, while speaking matter-of-factly in her voice.*

"I'm going to go hump a goat."

"I am, really!"

*She begins wolfing it down.*

Mortal furrows her eyebrows, "Stay away from Sab, she is sleeping. And she is a sheep, not a goat... Stay away from Aroma too."

--

"I'm perfectly fine around you," Noct said, "If anything I'm a bit disappointed I haven't caused you to make an earthquake yet, now that I know you're flighty when it comes to things like that."
