The World

"That sounded quite interesting," Hector said, stepping up to Noct's side but not looking at her. "If you intend to follow after him, may I join you?"

They head over to the doors of the church and go inside.

--

Noct let out a sigh. She wasn't one for things like this, but she had to admit she was a bit interested. Despite her better judgement she followed along after Zelara, just knowing she was about to regret it.

*Zalera is standing by the Chaos Gate.*

Zalera: Huh, I didn't think you were coming. The area is Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground. I'll be by in a second, I want to see if anyone else will show up.
===================================
*The shark falls down & fades away.*
===================================
*The church music begins to play. Once inside, they see Euryale sitting on the front right pew, with another redhead character.*

"I'll go after a quick stop to the store," Noct said, "Here is hoping this won't be a waste of time." With that Noct goes off to the store.

--

"Hello, Euryale," Mortal said, walking over. Sab waved hello as well.

Seraph logs in at the chaos gate after seeing the message and waits with the rest of the group.

Hector followed a short way behind Noctis until she left for the store, and he stayed near Zalera.
"Hello."

Zalera: From what I've been told, she is not going to enjoy seeing you again.

*No one sent any messages to Seraph so no one knows what the fuck he's doing. It is early, so there are very few people on, aside from your odd Crimson Knight. Consequently, there is no one near any of the shops.*
==================================
*The other person is a girl with short red hair. She wears a long, sleveless dress, heeled boots, opera gloves, & a hairband featuring the infinity symbol, all white. Her eyes, however, are green. She is sitting with her arms crossed in her lap. When the new people show up, she stares at them in faint curiosity.*

Euryale: Hey, guys. I found something.

*She gestures to the other girl. Targeting her will reveal her name to be Aroma.*

*Monudon goes over and opens the treasure chest*

OOC: Well what do you want me to do then? My other characters were linked to Tae.

Mortab waves hello to Aroma. "Hello, Aroma, I'm Sab," She said with a smile.

Mortal asked, "What exactly did you find?"

--

Noct sells her 2 Permafrost scrolls, and her 2 Grunt Dolls, and buys a Book of Darkness. She uses that, and the Book of Floods she got from the dungeon, then makes her way over to the Chaos Gate. Once there she inputs, "Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground."

Euryale: I think she's the ghost.

*Aroma mimics the exact motion.*

Aroma: Hi.
-----------------------------------------------------
*Noctis reappears on the bridge leading to the church. Behind her, Zalera logs in. Behind him is Thiera & Luna.*

Thiera: Hi.

Luna: Do you know these people?

Zalera: Not a clue who the Wavemaster is. The Twin Blade is certainly someone I know of.
===================================
*The chest contains The Lovers.*

*Monudon continues walking though the dungeon*

"Oh," Mortal looked at Aroma, "Not what I was expecting."

Sab is now even more interested, "Are you really the ghost?"

--

Noct turned around and looked at everyone assembled. She let out a small sigh, and gave a half hearted wave to the new comers, "Looks like this is going to be a big party... I wouldn't have come if I knew there would be so many people."

Aroma: What is a ghost?
-----------------------------------------------
Zalera: Oh, get over it.

Luna: I was wary, but I would not refuse a request from the only other player I've accepted.

Thiera: I'm just...going to keep going. My friends are waiting inside, so...umm...bye.

*Thiera awkwardly shuffles past them.*
=====================================
*The next room is a large chamber with a Magic Portal at the center. The portal swells, releasing a golem constructed of 2 floating pillars & a floating central orb.*

*Monudon runs forward and stabs at the central orb*

"You have a better reason to come than I do," Noct said, "Last time I met Zelara he was so much of an ass to me his brother apologized for his behavior. Speaking of which, your brother is a nice guy."

--

Sab was a bit confused, "Its like... Well, when someone dies, but then their spirit continues living. Oh, and a spirit is like... This is hard..."

Mortal chuckled a bit.

Zalera: ^

*Obviously, this was a no-sound communication.*

Luna: He helped me explore the area I waited so long to see. His brother was...adequate.
=================================
Aroma: I don't want to die. It wasn't that long ago I was born.
=================================
*The right column pimp slaps him.*

"All he did was yell at me to the point that I gated out back to town, then he found me in town and continued to berate me," Noct shrugged, "And people wonder why I don't like playing in a party..."

--

"How old are you?" Sab asked, thinking of the rating the game had.

Assuming Thiera made it into the room, Mortal waves hello to her.

*Monudon tries to stop the blow with his spear*

Seraph looks at the group and finally explains why he's here, "A friend of mine told me to meet you guys here. I think he was on Euryale's contact list or had dungeon crawled with her in the past. His name is Creed."

OOC: Handwave GO.

Zalera: It certainly has nothing to do with your persecution complex.

*He ignores that dumbass being a dumbass & continues on to the church.*
--------------------------------------------------------------
*Thiera waves back.*

Aroma: Sensory Stage.

Euryale: When I met her, she came in through the wall. I thought maybe she was a hacker, but then she started saying things like...that.
========================================
*Monudon's spear is knocked from his hand & skids about 10 feet away. The monster rests its right "foot" on the ground & takes a sideways shot with its left.*

Noct just sighs and shakes her head, not pointing out that you can't really call it a persecution complex if she was actually being persecuted. "So, what is your name?" She asked Luna, figuring if she was going to be around people she might as well make life easier on herself.

--

"How many years old?" Sab asked, "Like me, I'm eighteen years old."

Mortal pointed to Aroma, "Look, we found the 'ghost'."

*Monudon runs backward, trying to avoid the foot*

Luna: ....

*Luna follows along.*
-----------------------------------------
*Aroma looks Sab up & down.*

Aroma: Like me, I'm eighteen years old.

Zalera: ...Who introduced you to the game?

Aroma: Harald Hoerwick.
================================
*It smashes down on the ground where Monudon once was, & the golem pursues him.*

*Monudon runs towards wherever his spear is*
