Shadows of the Past

"Agrabah," Mortal thought for a second, "It sounds nice."

--

Noct looks at the approaching shapes with mild interest, then looks back at Artexi, "What's the worst that could happen anyway. The people here should fear getting on our bad side, not the other way around."

<You could become like me. A nobody.>
---
*They both fly down*

N"Well, since you took so damn long to commit...."

*The Order lands. Thiera takes off her helmet & glares at the Organization, but mostly Nero.*

T"You shouldn't be here."

L"...Tirea? I've looked everywhere for you! Why are you in the Organization?!"

*Lilith dismisses her Glider & approaches, swiping her hand as if swatting away the questions.*
==========================
Braig<Well, then...follow along.>

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] & starts up the path towards a small doorway.*

R"...I hope that's not as loud in the bedrooms."

Noctis frowned, "I'm starting to get jealous. Where is my secret friend in the Order?" She then looked at the remaining people. "Is that a lion?"

"Yes," Mortal answered.

"See, I could be friends with the basically topless giant, or the lion," Noct said.

"Are you being rude?" Mortal asked, crossing her arms.

OOC: You're so bad at links.

Azuma: "Nice place."

*Artexi shakes her head*

<I'm not Tirea. Not anymore.>

*Safian growls softly*

Monu:<Tirea, whats wrong?>

<Stop calling me that!>

L"So Senthose is responsible for whatever's going on here. That's not a big surprise. What I don't understand is why you've decided to betray us, as well!"

*She points a finger in Artexi's face.*
====================
Braig<Whelp, nighty-night.>

*Braig waves & heads out of the last bedroom that he'd showed them. Roatha crosses his arms.*

R"Anything we need to discuss before we all split up & turn in?"

*Tears stream down Artexi face, and her points directly back at Lilith*

<I. am. not. Tirea.>

*With that, Artexi opens a dark corridor and dives into it, closing it immediately behind her*

Monu:<I'm not sure I follow.>

"Tirea? Artexi... Oh my god... She is Tirea-x," Noct began to giggle, then let out a little sigh of contentedness, "Well, this got weird, so, I think it would be best to leave."

Azuma: "Not that I know of."

*Because she did not specify a destination, & I would like to keep this show on the road, Artexi stumbles around blindly for a while before falling out onto a chunk of limestone in the middle of pitch blackness. She can hear water flowing all around her. Here, she passes out, because timeskips are grand.*
------------------------------------
*She rounds to point at Noctis.*

L"You think I'm just going to let you leave?"

N"You don't get a say in the matter."

*He puts an arm around Noctis & pulls them into a Dark Corridor.*
-------------------------------------------
*They emerge in a room full of brightly colored cushions, & not much else.*

N"Hey, got it in one."
============================
R"Alright. See you tomorrow, then."

*He waves, & heads out.*

Azuma: "All right."

He turns to Hitomi who isn't going towards any of the rooms.

Azuma: "I take it you're not going to turn in just yet?"

Hitomi: "No."

Azuma: "Okay then. Well, uh...goodnight."

Hitomi: "Goodnight."

Azuma goes into a room while Hitomi goes to the library.

"Well, that could have gone better..." Mortal said.

--

"Good job, Nero," Noct said, pulling his arm off of her, and giving him a pat on the back. "Where do you think Artexi is?"

Monu:<She said she wasn't Tirea...But Artexi.>

*Monu stares st the ground, thinking hard*

T"We can worry about it later. We can't hunt for them all over the world, right now. We need to find a place to stay."

*Lilith, who had been shaking with rage, sighs & loosens up.*

L"You're right. Let's go see if we can find some sort of tavern, or something."
=======================
N"I'm not sure. Just randomly diving into a Dark Corridor like that, she could be pretty much anywhere. We'll have to start searching tomorrow."

Safian:<Looks like I'll be sleeping outside.>

"We could sneak you in," Mortal suggested.

--

"Maybe we could put a tracker on her," Noct said, "Like with dogs, when they run away."

Taiyo: "We can find a cloak to put over you and...how well do you think you can walk on two legs?"

L"As long as no one sees you, I'm fine with it."

*Lilith crosses her arms.*
=========================
N"Maybe. I could try to track her by the scent of darkness, but it's...tricky. I have no idea how far away she is, or even if she's still in this world."

"I'm sure it isn't serious," Noctis said, "If she was in trouble she can defend herself, and if she can't she has the means to run away, as we just saw."

--

"Oh, I can just carry her, and pretend she is a child," Mortal said.

Taiyo: "Isn't she a little big?"

Safian:<I think I can jump though a window or something.>

Monu:<We should probably go find an inn.>

*He starts off towards Agrabah*

L"I guess that could work...."

*I presume that Monu just smacks his face into the closed doors of the city.*
=============================
N"Maybe. But entering a Dark Corridor recklessly CAN be pretty dangerous."

*Since he's not dumb, Monu stops once he sees the closed gates and heads back to the others*

Monu:<Looks like we're flying over the walls.>

*Lilith pulls one of the doors open.*
