The New Zodiac Braves

*Safian and Cassandra sit down across for him, both ordering eggs, ham, and juice*

"But we just got you a dress, remember?" Mortal said, a bit crestfallen that Euryale forgot since they got it no more than a week ago.

--

"You're forcing me to resort to annoying you, and I don't think you'd appreciate that," Zac said, "At least give me a sign that you're going to try to wake up." He put a hand on her shoulder.

The two take their alloted three steps, lining themselves up with a skeleton, each attacking with Shockwave.

*Lilith jerks bolt upright, tossing him aside with the momentum of her arm that she uses to grab her sword & throw off the sheath. She turns around, armed & dangerous.*

L"Who's there?! Oh--owowOW!"

*She grabs her head with her free hand.*
=================================
OOC: I actually don't remember a new dress. I remember her first one, but not the new one.

"Oh, I remember GETTING a dress, I just didn't know what all of the numbers meant. So I forgot 'em."

Sieg<Ajora, even I know what the measurements of my armor mean.>
=================================
*Roatha tries not to glare at them as he eats his buttered toast.*
=================================
*They seem kind of pissed off, but aren't quite taken down. Since they don't have range advantage, they also rush in to attack. The 3rd shanks Taiyo.*

Azuma and Mimiru repeat their attacks.

Taiyo moves around Skeleton stabbing it in the back with her lance.

Safian:<You, ah, want some ham?>

Zac draws his pistol and aims where Lilith is looking.

--

Mortal glared at Seig, "Well, not everyone finds measurements so important. She forgot, so we can just go and find out."

Noct looked up from her food to see why Mortal was grilling the dragon slayer.

*That's difficult, because she was looking wildly around the room before the hangover kicked in.*

L"...Where is my shirt?"
===========================
R"No. I don't like ham."
===========================
Aroma<You tell him!>

*She pulls out some measuring tape, beaming.*

Sieg<Say...where are you from, Euryale?>

E"A village in the north. It's...gone now."

Sieg<Oh. I am very sorry to hear that.>
==================================
*Taiyo stabs a skeleton so hard that its component bones fly apart. The others stagger, but press on with their attacks.*

~3~

Safian:<oh. Do..do you want us to get you anything else? It'd be no problem at all.>

"I... uh, I don't know," Zac said, trying to see what had Lilith so spooked. "I can help you look for it... or you can tell me what you are waving your sword at."

--

Noct chuckled at Mortal falling into Aroma's trap, and went back to her food.

"Uh, so, are you going to just measure her here?" Mortal asked.

Aroma<Wherever she would be most comfortable.>

E"I guess I could head back to my room real quick...."
=================================
L"Nothing...just help me find the rest of my clothes."

*And so she pulls back the covers & starts looking under the bed, at which point she pulls out her cloak.*

L"Well, that's one mystery solved."

*Zac can see her shirt sleeve peeking out from under a dresser.*
===================================
"No. That's quite alright."

Mortal gets up to go to the back room.

--

Zac holsters his weapon, and gets the shirt. "Here is your shirt," Zac said handing it over. "I didn't think I would be helping you put on your shirt before getting a chance to help you take it off," He added with a chuckle.

Taiyo begins a Slow Dance while the two continue their ranged assualt.

*It doesn't matter, because all of the skeletons are now dead.*

~2,3,3~
============================
*In their room, Aroma starts by putting a finger in Euryale's skirt thing to hike it down slightly so that she can get the measure around her waist.*

Aroma<You know, I think that...what is that thing you wear on your chest?>
============================
*Sieg glances Noctis's way.*

Sieg<Are they doing what I think they're doing?>
============================
"Yeah, yeah...."

*She pulls her shirt on, then swings her cloak over. She then spies the tray, presumably on the end table, & points at it.*

"Did you...get that for me?"

"A hauberk."

Aroma<Well, I think it's too thick to get an accurate measurement. I'll need you to take it off.>

Taiyo: "That was...easy."

Azuma: "So easy we got nothing out of it."

Mimiru: "You took one out in one hit!"

Taiyo: "That's...good, right?"

Mimiru: "Absolutely. You've grown quite strong over the years."

Taiyo stares at the ground, blushing.

Taiyo: "Thanks, Mimi."

And then they continue on their merry way.

Safian:<Oh, alright.>

*They continue to eat*

Mortal doesn't see Aroma as the fucking predator she is, and just takes a seat at a chair and lets Aroma do her measuring.

--

"They're taking measurements. Aroma might want something more, but Euryale is an honest woman, and Mortal would raise a fuss," Noct said.

"Wait, you think Aroma wants something more?" Sab asked.

Noct nodded, "Pretty sure she was left cold at the party, so I think she is looking for a rebound."

--

Zac nodded, "I thought breakfast in bed would make life a bit easier for you."

Sieg<I'm not sure how to put this...those 2 seem like they could be easily tricked into something.>
=============================
"So...should I change into something else?"

<Oh, we're all girls here, right?>

"I...guess...."

*She reaches behind her to start loosening her hauberk, looking at Mortal to see if she has a problem with this.*
===============================
"Aww...thanks, that's really sweet."

*She sits down on the bed & starts eating.*

"What about you? Have you eaten yet?"
===============================
*Roatha continues to look surly.*
===============================
*The Retard Three arrive in Dorter.*

the battle is won:

And so they stop at the tavern.

*Safian looks at Cassandra, who shrugs*

Safian:<Are you alright?>

"One or both of them might get felt up at worst, but I doubt even the most cunning linguist could trick them into actually having sex," Noct said.

"That is horrible, they might be..." Sab leaned in and said in a quietly serious voice, "Fondled..."

--

Zac smiled, happy that she was happy. He took a seat and said, "Yes. I just ate. I would have waited, but you're usually awake by the time I order my food, and we eat together."

--

"What does that have to do with anything?" Mortal asked, "I thought you liked girls..."

"I do."

*Euryale scratches her head in confusion. Since no actual objection was voiced, Aroma starts sliding off the hauberk.*
===============================
Sieg<So?>
===============================
*Lilith shakes her head, taking it into her hands.*

"I really screwed up last night...."
===============================
"Never better."

*It is at that moment when Taiyo & Friends step in. They & Roatha meet each others' gaze.*

*Safian looks from Roatha to Taiyo and friends*

Cassandra:<I think they were at the party.>

Safian:<Same here.>

Zac stood up and made his way over, putting a hand on her shoulder, "It is alright, beautiful. You just drank a little more than you should have, it isn't that big of a deal."

--

"What do you mean 'so'?!" Sab said, "You're the one who brought this up."

--

"I was talking to Aroma," Mortal said, "You don't have any seedy motives here, do you? You don't just want to see Euryale topless because of... what is the word, lustrous feelings, right?"

Taiyo doesn't recall meeting those people and so they head up to the counter.
