The Zodiac Brave Story

Azuma: "All of us are capable of raising the dead. Nothing to fear, but fear itself and spiders."

Mimiru shudders at the mention of spiders.

Mortal hears the door open and close a few seconds later, "Guess not."

--

"Great, I'll take it," Sab said with a smile.

--

Zac begins to head back to the park.

~Dugeura Pass~

<Only if you reach the body in time!>
============================
~Lesalia~

<Okay. Anything else?>
---------------------------------------------------
*He walks past that guy from earlier, who begins doing his harp solo again. He can see Lilith sitting on a bench under a tree about 30 feet away, surrounded by pigeons.*
---------------------------------------------------
"All right. Wanna go one more time before we have to get up for lunch?"

"No, that is all," Sab said.

--

Zac walks over, and sits down next to her, "Hello there."

--

"Of course, silly," Mortal said, as if Euryale asked an obvious question.

Azuma: "Not an issue. You're still alive with all limbs intact, so what's the problem?"

OOC: I don't know what you want me to do here.

~Lesalia~

*Sab makes a purchase.*
-------------------------------------------
*The pigeons all disperse.*

"Hey."
-------------------------------------------
*Euryale rolls over on her back.*
========================
~Dugeura~

*Aroma shakes with rage.*

"The issue is that if I do die, you don't get your payment!"

Azuma: "Which is why you're not going to die. And we'd probably have a number of other issues to deal with."

OOC: Ring her up bitch! I was actually expecting a nice box, or package... like a store would usually sell jewelry. Not... here is your shit, lol, later.

Sab puts the necklace away and turns to Noct, "Ready to go?"

Noct nodded, and held the door open for Sab. The two then began on their way home.

--

Fadiddles were kiddled, again.

--

"I sent word, now we only have to show up," Zac said, "I introduced you as the Marquis. I hope you don't mind, but I thought I had a better chance of getting in with that line rather than, 'My girlfriend and I want to come over for lunch'."

OOC: Too bad.

"Great, we're already worrying about my political image."

*Lilith stands up.*
---------------------------------------------
*Euryale gets up.*

"Do you think I should wear my dress, or my typical clothes?"
==========================
~Grogh Heights~

*Aroma wordlessly stalks off to Grogh Heights. On the opposite end of the Heights is a Blue Dragon, a duo of Mindflayers, an Ahriman, and a Chocobo.*

"Did it upset you?" Zac asked, "I apologize. That wasn't my intention."

--

"You look great either way, but how about the dress, just for an extra oomph?" Mortal said, getting up as well.

--

Noctab returns home.

Azuma: "Let's make this go smoothly."

Taiyo begins the Mincing Minuet while the other two fan out taking their alloted three steps. Mimiru going for a Mindflayer and Azuma just hangs around.

*They go do that*

~Grogh Heights~

<Oh yeah, I'm sure that will happen. In fact, you're off to such a great start.>

*The monsters all start to approach Mimiru.*
===============================
~Eagrose~

*They walk around the castle to find the encampments around it totally in ruins. The Lionsguard is negotiating with a white-clad Knight in front of the back gate, which stands open.*

Northern Sky<Darlavan seems an odd choice.>

Lionsguard<There are few men of high standing left in the Northern Order to take the helm.>
==============================
~Lesalia~

"No, it's fine. I am the Marquis, after all."
------------------------------------------------------
"Thanks, Sandflower. You always make me feel so special."

*She starts getting dressed.*

*Cassandra and Safian wander closer, listening in*

Mortal does as well, "You do the same for me." She pulled on a pair of leather pants, and boots, and threw on a cotton, long sleeve shirt before kissing Euryale, "I love you."

Suddenly there is a knock at the door.

--

Sab knocks at the door in a sudden manner.

--

Zac nodded, "Indeed you are. The best looking, most intelligent, and kindest by far, if I may be so bold."

~Lesalia~

*Once dressed, Euryale reaffirms her love, & heads down the stairs.*
------------------------------------------
*Lilith blushes heavily & stares at her feet.*

"Well...compared to a demon, I suppose."
========================
~Eagrose~

Knight<Are you sure the Rebellion is quelled?>

Lionsguard<There are not enough peasants in the city to continue such resistance. But if you fret still, simply keep the castle barricaded until we return with the Viscount.>

*Cassandra speaks up*

Cassandra:<Excuse me, I just thought I'd let you know the guards around the weapon supply have all been taken out, and the supply itself is in the process of getting destroyed.>

Azuma: "If you want to walk the rest of the way yourself, you're on the right track."

They again, take their allotted three steps, Azuma going towards the Chocobo.

"Fitting that the successor to a demon should be so angelic," Zac continued, enjoying complimenting Lilith.

--

She would first run into Sab, who was knocking at the door, "Oh, hi Euryale. I um, well we were shopping and I thought of you when I saw this, so I decided to get this for you." She handed out the long rectangular box.

~Lesalia~

*Euryale takes the box.*

"Oh...you didn't have to get me anything."

*If Sab doesn't take it back or try to stop her, she opens the box, pulling out the necklace. Her eyes go wide.*

"Oh, Sab, this must have been really expensive...are you sure?"
-------------------------------------------------
*Lilith feels like she could melt into the ground & barely manages a small, "Umm, shouldn't we go now"?*
===========================
~Eagrose~

<Of course. We'll be heading back to Gariland to retrieve the Viscount.>
===========================
~Grogh Heights~

*Aroma quickly casts Haste on herself & Taiyo, but stays where she is because THEY are supposed to be protecting HER. The Ahriman reaches them first, flying to the side of Azuma. It stares at him, eye wide. As its pupil dilates & glows eerily, Azuma finds himself blinded & immobilized. The dragon breaths ice over Mimiru. One of the Mindflayers uses Mind Blast on Azuma, also making him go berserk. With nothing else to attack, he lashes out at Mimiru, as the Chocobo flanks her other side & attacks, & the other Mindflayer just kind of hangs out.*

"Yes, I know I didn't have to, I wanted to," Sab said, happier than she thought she would be with Euryale's reaction, "I thought you might like it."

--

Zac extends his hand towards Lilith, "Yea, lets get going."

Mimiru moves beside the Blue Dragon, punching it with Secret Fist.

Taiyo stops dancing and takes three steps in Azuma's direction.

~Grogh Heights~

*The Blue Dragon then attacks her. The Mindflayers move to surround Azuma & attack him with tentacles, one of which he grabs, while the Ahriman flies off towards Taiyo. The Chocobo once again attacks Mimiru, who promptly breaks its beak with a punch.*

Doom: 3
============================
~Lesalia~

*Lilith takes his hand & allows herself to be led to the estate.*
---------------------------------------------------
"It's beautiful. Thank you so much. I hope to be able to repay your kindness, some day."

*She puts it on.*

Taiyo moves another three steps towards Azuma and begins charging Esuna.

Mimiru moves away from the Blue Dragon, using Chakra on herself.

"Kindness doesn't need to be repaid," Sab said, "I'm just happy that you like it."

Mortal looked at Euryale in her dress and necklace and said, "You look fantastic."

Noct nodded with a smile.

--

Zac knocked at the door to the estate, and had the door opened for him quickly, "The Lord of the house would like to see you both before lunch."

Zac kind of shrugged, "Uh, sure, I guess." Zac then steps inside, and points upstairs looking at the maid, "Same office as always?"

She nodded, and Zac smiled, "Thank you so much. I know the way." He then looked back to Lilith, and said, "It is this way."
