The New Zodiac Braves

And everyone does their thing.

Azuma and Mimiru advance on the undead while Taiyo begins a Mincing Minuet.

Safian:<Will our normal clothes be ready soon?>

Mortal shrugged, "Can't blame me for trying. Perhaps you'll reconsider. I'm sure you'd love to tie me up in an unfamiliar bed and do all sorts of things to me."

--

"I'll take the one at the end of the hall," Zac said, walking passed them, "Enjoy the private bath ladies."

--

Noct chuckled and put an arm around Aroma's shoulders so that she could rub Sab's shoulder to keep her calm. It was a good call as well, as Sab was about to push Aroma off to escape her grasp. "Thank you so much," Noct said, "Please, do lead the way."

Sab fidgeted slightly, then tripped over her own feet. When she did she gently pulled free from Aroma's arm, "I'm sorry, but I've never been the most graceful of people. I just can't seem to walk straight when someone has their arm around me. It is why Noct usually rides on my shoulders."

"I appreciate dexterous hands more than graceful feet anyway," Noct said, causing Sab to blush. She readjusted her arm so that it draped over Aroma's shoulder, leaving her hand dangerously close to Aroma's bust, "What about you, Aroma?"

Aroma<In a few hours.>

*She looks back to Noctis.*

Aroma<It's a toss-up. I'd really like to see what you could do with your legs.>

*Meanwhile, Lilith follows Zac, & Roatha finally emerges from the bathroom.*
====================================
*Once they finally enter the fenlands, they notice that they're just inches away from the water. A skeleton is on a log nearby, while a Bonesnatch is on a patch of land to their far left & a Ghoul is floating a couple yards in front of them. The other 3 are further out.*
====================================
"I'm in less of a tie-you-up mood & more of a could-eat-a-Chocobo mood."

While Taiyo begins a Mincing Minuet, the other two position themselves near the ghoulie that's in the water and attack with Aurablast.

Safian:<You take forever.>

"Quite a lot," Noct said while making eye contact with Sab, causing her to turn a deeper shade of red.

--

"Why not both?" Mortal said, though she got out of bed anyway.

--

Zac slows a bit so that he and Lilith can walk side by side.

*And so Euryale begins getting dressed in the 1 outfit available to her.*

"I'm just not in a rough sex kind of mood today."
==========================
"Don't trust Aroma."
==========================
R"I can't help it, Roatha II wasn't cooperating."

Aroma<Well, let me show you to the stairs.>

*She gestures ahead & starts walking.*
===========================
*Azuma promptly throws up, but they both hit it, & as a result, it dies...again. Meanwhile, the skeletons make their way towards Taiyo, the Skeleton shooting a thunder blast at her. The other Undead begin their advance.*

~3~

Safian:<Well, we still have to wait for our clothes to get out of the wash.>

Azuma: "Fuck."

Azuma uses Purification on himself and the two fall back to Taiyo's position, Mimiru lining herself up with the skeleton to attack with Shockwave.

Taiyo resumes dancing, hoping Kitters will do something.

Mortal smiled, "I certainly won't be complaining if you touch me tenderly." She got dressed as well.

--

"She is a bit overzealous, but I don't think she means any harm," Zac said with a small chuckle, "Besides, Noctis and Sab are big girls. I'm sure they know how to say no."

--

Sab follows. Noct rides on her shoulders.

"It's not that. She's acting suspicious."
=============================
*Aroma was still holding on to Noct, so that's kind of awkward, but any way, she starts leading them up the stairs, until she reaches a door. When she pushes it open, she reveals a room with a large white rug adorned with a red cross. On this sits a 4 post curtained bed, which is also red. There are a few other doors coming off of this, a dresser with a large circular mirror across from the bed, & a large window with red curtains.*

Aroma<Welcome to my chambers. Please, make yourselves at home.>
=============================
"Maybe after breakfast."
=============================
*The skeleton takes the attack, getting back on its log & firing a blast of thunder at Mimiru. Kitters growls at the Bonesnatch when it begins coming out of the water, so it shoots him with water. *

~2~

Safian:<Fine.>

*She still looks rather annoyed*

Mimiru gets within Aurablast range of the one blasting her with Lightning and Aurablasts it.

Azuma does the same to the one giving Kitters a hard time.

Zac looked at Lilith. "What makes you say that?" He asked, "Do you think we're in danger?"

--

OOC: I figured it'd be implied that Noct disengaged from Aroma, but whev.

"Lovely room," Noct said.

Sab looked around, "Which door leads to the rest room?"

--

Mortal smiled, "Think they have steak?"

*Euryale tries not to sigh.*
===============================
"The laundry was definitely a ploy to keep us here. And she's clergy, so I'm suspecting there's more to it than just trying to grab chest."
===============================
*Aroma points.*
===============================
*Critically wounded, the skeleton leaps on her, trying to stab her. The Living Bone moves further out into the water & blasts Azuma. The other Undead catch up & throw their various spirits at Mimiru & Taiyo.*

~1~

Taiyo stabs that fucker in the face.

If able to get in range while remaining on land, the two resume peppering the enemies with ranged attacks. If not they fall back to heal.

*Safian heads back into her room and falls onto the bed*

Mortal frowned, expecting a negative reaction of some sort, "You were supposed to be all disappointed, then I was going to say I was joking and that I was in the mood for bacon anyway..."

--

"Do you think she alerted the High Confessor?" Zac asked, "How long would it take to get a letter from here to Mullonde... or Lesalia to Mullonde, if she caught onto us sooner?"

--

"Thank you," Sab said, "Uh, we'll be going now." She then walked off with her girlfriend on her shoulders.

"Huh? I'm very confused right now...."
==========================
"Difficult to say. It's possible that the High Confessor was on to us the whole time, & alerted her days ago."
==========================
*The bath chambers are a lot like Noctis's, but a bit bigger. There's a water closet off to the corner.*
==========================
*They aren't close enough. Meanwhile, they keep being fired upon by undead.*

~0~

*Cassandra heads into her room as well*

"I was going to make a joke, but you didn't set me up like I wanted," Mortal explained.

--

"Great," Zac said, letting out a sigh, "We're going to come out of the bathroom and find ourselves surrounded by templars."

--

Sab goes off to set up the bath while Noct floats about, undressing herself, and Sab.

And so the two fall back and heal up while Taiyo begins a Forbidden Dance.

"Oh. Sorry."
===================================
"I don't know if I'd go that far, but we should be on our guard. Also, I wasn't planning on going into the bathroom with you. That's kinda gross."
===================================
*The Undead have no choice but to continue their advance, attacking with spirits. The Skeleton gets up & follows their lead.*

The plan was a success and Azuma & Mimiru line up with an Undead and attack with Shockwave.
