Homecoming

"We're going to be running either outside at around 4pm, but if it rains we're going to move indoors to the gym later on at around 7," Gabe said.

"I'd plan for 7, since it's been raining lately," Noct said.

--

Since Aroma's arms were being used to wrap around Sab's arm, Sab pulls out her umbrella. She opens it up as they get outside, holding it above their heads.

*Eve eats some of her now cold food, wondering if the invitation extended to her*

"Well, looks like that's all then," Hector put down his empty cup. "Thanks for the tea."
He and Eduj started heading for the door, following by Astarte. Grimm called out before they had all left, "Thank you again for coming."

*Euryale leans on the side of the building, folding her arms.*

"So, I hope this trip was worth it for everyone else. But I really think we should keep all of this 'monster talk' to ourselves, from now on."
===================================
T"But shouldn't we plan for 4, because it might clear up, & we'll miss it if we plan for 7?"
===================================
*And so they walk down the campus path until they reach the crosswalk in front of the old Catholic church. When it signals to walk, they presumably do so.*

"So, is there anything we need besides the basics?"

Cameron:<I should have known he'd go all "It's the devil" on us.>

Monu:<At least we got to all meet up. Do you guys want to go for pizza or something?>
---
*Eve speaks quietly*

<Am I invited along as well?>
---
*Tirea waves to Mimiru, changes into normal clothes, and heads to the cafeteria*

"He's a priest, so yes he was obviously going to go that way," Hector said. Astarte stood behind him and looked at her feet.

Mimiru had moved on to weight lifting at some point. Not being able to wave normally with a pair of dumb bells, she nods.

===================================

Taiyo wakes up, falling out of bed. After turning the alarm off, she goes to shower.

"I guess."

*Euryale digs out her phone & texts Taiyo.*

Met with some of others, going for pizza. Wanna come?

Taiyo doesn't notice the message until after she gets out of the shower some fifteen-twenty minutes later. She says yes.

===================================

Mimiru leaves the gym after changing out. Azuma is outside waiting for her.

Azuma: "Hey, little girl, you want some candy?"

Mimiru: "Not if you're providing it."

Azuma: "Well, I don't have any."

Monu:<Awesome. I'll text Tirea.>

*Monu does that. Tirea notices the text and heads over to the pizza place to get a table*

"Yes, you should," Gabe said, "But be prepared, just in case."

--

"Eggs, milk, bread..." Sab thought for a second, "Do we have enough condiments?"

*Eve stares down at her food, slightly depressed*

I should use the time to study anyway...

"Are you alright?" Gabe asked the depressed chick that wasn't Noct.

*Eve jerks at the noise and turns towards Gabe*

<Oh, yes, I'm quite alright. I was wondering if the invitation extended to me as well.>

"Oh, well, yea," Gabe said, "Anyone at the school can go."

<I see. Thank you.>

"We should be good. We will be needing more veggies, though."
=============================
T"Well, thanks. But since I'm done, I should head to the library, to get caught up on my missed work."

R"Great, I'll come with you."
=============================
*Euryale texts Taiyo the address of the place they choose. Once inside, she waves to Tirea, & sits at the table.*

"So, how do we want to do this? I'm thinking of having a meat lovers."

Taiyo gets dressed and heads for the pizza place.

Meanwhile, the other two head off to parts unknown after stopping by their dorm so Mimiru can drop her stuff off and shower.

"I can pay for everything Eduj and Astarte have," Hector said, taking a seat. "And myself obviously. Meat lovers sounds good."
"I just want a drink, please," Astarte said quietly. "Gerolsteiner."

Mortal looks around, "Did... that one guy leave?"

"Azuma, yes," Gabe said.

"When?"

"Like, 3 pages ago."

"Didn't even notice," Mortal said with a shrug, "Anyway, we've got to get going too."

--

"If that is all, then I think we should be fine," Sab said.

*Euryale stands up & waves when Taiyo walks in the door.*

"I saved a spot for you, next to me. So, what kind of pizza do you want?"
==================================
*Since these parts are unknown, I have no idea where they are.*
==================================
*Thiera & Roatha are roaming the stacks when Roatha gets a text from Nero.*

New phone, bitches! Missed a bunch of annoying spam messages.

*Senthose is at a desk nearby, reading.*
==================================
*In the convenience store, Aroma grabs 2 handbaskets, handing 1 to Sab.*

"So what do you want to eat tonight?"

"I could go for some pasta, like, a nice cheese ravioli," Sab said, taking the basket.

--

Noct, and Mortal head over to the grocery store to stock up.

--

Gabe heads over to the gym to run some laps.

Taiyo sits down.

Taiyo: "Hawaiian?"

Meanwhile, in parts unknown, somewhere else in town, the two wander about. Having no umbrella, they just wear something with a hood.

Mimiru: "Where the hell are we going?"

Azuma: "I was following you."

*Since she has a ton of make up work, Eve had go with Tiera and Roatha to the library. She walks a bit behind the two*

<How much make up work do you both have?>
---
*Cameron shyly sits next to Astarte, while Tirea and Monu sit across from him*

Cameron:<I'm good with anything.>

*Monu and Tirea nod*

"So I'm thinking that a lot of people want meat lovers, & I'll want to sneak a slice or 2 of the Hawaiian, so we should get 2 separate pizzas. Let's see...we have 8 people, & your average pizza can be split into 6-8 slices, so we should probably get a 3rd, just to make sure we have enough. We could get another meat lovers? Or maybe a 3rd type, like pepperoni?"
====================================
R"I don't want to talk about it."

T"Oh, don't be like that, we can get it done in no time, if we apply ourselves."

*She pulls a black volume from the shelf, a blue one just under it, & a red one from a few steps down.*

T"Okay, I have the reference books that I need. Now let's go find a computer station."
==================================
*Gabe, of course, walks out into the rain, which has actually started to pick up, & now is one of those annoying sideways sheet rains. Nearby she spies Azuma & Mimiru, who are arguing about something stupid, & probably getting soaked, since they're not wearing raincoats.*
==================================
"Oh, that does sound really good.

*Aroma heads for the pasta aisle as the bell at the door rings, & Mortal & Noctis step in.*
