The Arrival

Taiyo hugs Euryale.

Taiyo: "Don't go looking for one."

*Euryale turns back to Taiyo & returns the hug.*

R"Well, now I'm paranoid, & I don't want to be surprised by this."

*He starts searching the backpack. Thiera sighs & grabs him by the arm.*

T"We'll just leave you kids alone now."
================================
*Aroma looks to Sab as they're walking back up to the dorms.*

A"I know it's a little early to be worrying about this, but what would you like to eat for dinner tonight?"

*Cameron reads his phone, then start dashing off towards the bar. Meanwhile, Monu enters and goes over to Hector*
===
<Well, see you guys later then.>

"Uh, I don't know," Sab said, "I just had salad, so I could go for something a bit heavier. Do you know if we have any chicken, or something?"

Taiyo: "See you later, I guess."

"Yeah, I figured," Astarte said, turning a little downcast. "I should call him and see what he wanted."
She took out her phone and found him in her contacts.

"So, Monu," Hector and Eduj looked up at him.

V"Oh, RIGHT. You're not up to anything AT ALL."
===========================
E"Well."

*She breaks away from Taiyo & heads over to her dresser.*

E"We came to pick up a change of clothes for me."
===========================
A"M-hm. I saw that we were running low, so I picked some up."

"Aah!" Sab smiled, and hugged Aroma, "You're the best! Totally the best ever!"

--

Noct shrugged, and kept heading home with Astarte.

Taiyo: "Um...right."

Taiyo follows her in, looking about.

Taiyo: "Feels like it's been awhile since I was last here."

Astarte called Cameron.

Hector looked over his shoulder at Vanessa, "Mind your own business."

*Vanessa stands up.*

V"Why don't you come over here & make me?"
==========================
E"Yeah...."

*She pulls out a sports bra & some gym shorts, then grabs a backpack.*
==========================
*Aroma isn't sure what to do, so she pats Sab on the head.*

"I like you too."

"Just like?" Sab asked.

--

Noct presumably makes it to her dorm, and leads Astarte to her room.

Taiyo's eyes widen and she bites her lip.

This is going to be awesome.

Astarte was still trying to contact Cameron.

"Then it would be your business, but as it is it isn't," Hector sighed. "So how about keeping your stupid ass out of it?"

*Monu turns around and stares at Vanessa*

<Tirea has gone missing and we're trying to find her.>

*Cameron enters and finally picks up his phone*

{Hello?}
===
*Eve starts reading a book*

"Hey Cameron, you said you wanted to talk after that lunch?"

{Oh right...We'll have to talk later. Monu thinks the Shadow got Tirea...}

*Cameron's voice sounds strained and close to crying*

*She waves off Monu & then marches over.*

V"I don't care about that."

*She grabs Hector by the collar.*

V"Oh, you ARE my problem. But you won't be for much longer."
=========================
A"Well, no. I love you. It just seemed like a 'like' kind of moment."
=========================
*She leans into the bathroom to grab some deodorent & liquid soap.*

E"Alright, we're about ready to go. But, ah, Eve, I'm not sure Thiera would want you hanging out alone."

<I suppose you're right.>

*Eve gets out her phone and texts Thiera*


I guess Taiyo&Euryale have something planned. Can I catch up with you and Roatha?
===
*Monu steps forward, holding up his hands*

<Calm down you two.>

"Well, okay, good luck finding her... please let me know how it goes," Astarte said, her mood dropping again. She ended the call and put her phone away, then sighed.

Hector stood up, along with Eduj, "Sounds like a threat. I don't think a man should hit a woman but I can make an easy exception, y'know."
Eduj glared holes in her and waited for a sign of her going for mace or a knife, intending on grabbing her moving arm and restraining it with both of his own.

*Cameron quickly texts Astarte after she hangs up*

Hector and Vanessa in a fight in the bar. Thought you should know...

Taiyo: "Maybe Azuma and Mimi will hang out with you."

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

Speaking of which they're wandering around campus, Mimiru having dragged Azuma out, claiming he watches too much cartoons especially for someone his age.

Noct, who had decided to take a seat on her couch, looked over at Astarte, "Bad news?"

--

"Ah," Sab said, "Well, I like you, too."

"Do it, Big Man."

*She grabs his hand & holds it up to her face.*

"I know your type. You're scum."
=========================
Thiera: Roatha already left, but you can visit me and Lilith. My room is 123.
=========================
E"I mean, you can come with us, it just might be kind of boring."
=========================
*Circumstances eventually transpire that Roatha is walking in 1 direction down the hall, while Sabroma is walking up the opposite direction.*

*Eve shakes her head*

<Thiera said I can come over. I won't want to intrude on your date. Could I walk with you though?>

*Eve test a Thiera back to let her know that she's coming*
===
*Monu pulls out his cellphone*

<Stop. Both of you. I don't want to have to call the police.>
