Better Left Forgotten

E"Oh yeah. There are some things in my closet, just take whatever you want."
==========================
S"There are probably still some holes, but it's the best explanation I have at the moment."
==========================
*Aroma crawls into bed beside her, putting an arm over her.*

"I locked the door. There was something I wanted to ask you, before we were interrupted by a monster."

<Thanks.>

*Eve goes over to check out what's in the closet. Assuming she finds stuff, Eve makes a bed for herself on the couch*

Taiyo excuses herself elsewhere where she calls home to let her parents know she won't be home tonight before coming back in.

"What was that?" Sab asked, genuinely curious.

--

Noct smiled, "I'm not usually one to nip something like this in the bud, but I'm just way too exhausted tonight to drag this out. I'll take a t-shirt, please."

--

"So, a large contingent of the police force, and their children, are targeting homosexual college students," Mortal said, "Assuming I believe that, the obvious question here is why?"

"I detect a hint of disdain. Perhaps you'd prefer the alternate explanation: The attack was ordered by monsters living in the forest."

*Senthose shrugs.*
======================
"I wanted to know if you would sleep with me again, Sab."
======================
"So, ready for bed, Taiyo?"

Astarte, still a little pink, withdrew a plain white t-shirt and put it on the bed. Following that she presented a pair of light grey yoga pants and some black sweat pants, "Which would you prefer?"

"Both ideas suck," Mortal said flatly, "And it wasn't disdain towards you, it was disdain towards the idea that that many assholes fathered even more assholes, and that they're all cops."

--

"Of course, we're going to sleep together no-- Oh! Oooooh!" Sab felt herself blush as she got absolutely giddy, "I'd love to... Wait, but are you sure we should do it here... What if someone hears us?"

--

"Doesn't matter," Noctis said, casually grabbing the yoga pants, "These'll work fine." As she was talking Noctis pulled off her shirt, and replaced it with the fresh one, then repeated the process with her pants. She folded up her dirty clothes, and bent over to put them in a corner of the room, out of the way.

Taiyo: "Yep."

Astarte tried not to stare but couldn't help multiple focussed looks. For herself she replaced her top with a fresh t-shirt and her jeans for some small gym shorts. She walked over to turn the light off and looked back, trying to look Noct in the eye, "All ready?"

OOC: Oh, Sab.

*Aroma also blushes & smiles.*

A"I'm so glad to hear--oh. Hm."

*She furrows her brow.*

A"Hm...we'll be as quiet as mice, I'm sure. Or we could always set our phones to play music. Call it a cover-up."
========================
*And so Euryale leads the way back to her room.*

"Night, Eve."
========================
"In order, my idea is better, assholes do tend to breed assholes, & I never said that ALL of the people involved were cops or the sons of cops."

Taiyo: "Goodnight."

And so Taiyo follows Euryale.

Noct didn't bother hiding her gaze as Astarte changed, figuring Astarte would find out about her habit of letting her eyes linger eventually. As Astarte spoke up Noctis replied, "Yeah." Before going straight to bed however, Noctis walked over to Astarte, and hugged her, "Despite everything that happened today, I'm still so happy that you said yes. I don't want you to think that I forgot how happy you made me."

--

Sab giggled, and scooted closer to Aroma, putting a hand on Aroma's hip, "What songs would we play?"

--

"Police station full of people targeting gay people is really bad if you're gay," Mortal said.

"Loathe, as I am to agree with Mortal right now, I'm afraid that that does sound really bad..." Gabe confirmed.

"I'm... still happy, too. Not even that thing could take it away from us today," Astarte smiled and returned the hug. After a few moments she broke the hug and turned out the light. "We should sleep."

OOC: This will totally cover their tracks. Alternatively, death metal. Also, timeskip is imminent.

"I don't know...something longer, with a slow & steady rhythmic pulse?"

*She works her hands under Sab's shirt, rubbing her sides & gradually pulling it up.*
=======================
*Once in her room, Euryale sets to changing into a pair of fleecy red pants & matching tank top.*
=======================
"I meant logically grounded."

Taiyo not having a change of clothes other than her gym clothes just undresses down to her underwear.

<Night.>

*Eve changes into her pajamas, then lays on her makeshift bed*

"I like slow and steady..." Sab said, feeling her heart beat faster as she was being undressed.

--

"You said it," Noct said, climbing into bed, fluffing a pillow, and laying down.

--

"I'll concede that one sounds more plausible, but it was going up against forest monsters, so it wasn't really that hard..." Mortal said.

*The rest of the night is uneventful. The next day finds a bunch of people waking up to find themselves at Astarte's, & everyone on Thiera's contact list obtaining the message "We need to talk." Senthose went home, but mentioned that the midget was still skulking about.*

*Eve gets dressed in plain clothes and texts back*

Shall I head over?

Taiyo texts back asking what happened, thinking she should probably go home to shower and change.

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

Azuma texts back asking why.

Astarte lay still with her arms around Noct, eyes closed and breathing lightly on her neck, waiting to either fall back to sleep or for Noct to get up.

Hector was already up and eating, and sent a reply to Thiera, Immediately?
Eduj was watching the morning news in the Cyprus living room.

Noct wakes up, but doesn't want to get up, still pretty exhausted from the day before, as well as not wanting to ruin the scene in front of her. So, instead, she snuggles a bit closer and closes her eyes.

--

Sab wakes up with a small yawn, and looks around. She was startled by the odd scenery, but memories of yesterday reminded her of the situation she was in. It also reminded her of Aroma sleeping next to her, so she bent down, and gave her a small kiss. Figuring that sleeping in at someone else's home was probably a bit weird and rude, Sab softly says, "It is morning, Aroma. We should probably get up."

--

Mortal wakes up on Gabe's bed to the sound of Gabe washing up in the shower. She gets up, stretches, and grabs a shirt from Gabe's drawer, and goes into her kitchen to see if she could scrounge up some breakfast.

OOC: You literally just said that Gabe didn't have a couch.

A"You're probably right."

*Aroma stretches & starts to get out of bed.*
==========================
*Thiera sends a few responses.*

To Azuma & Taiyo: Roatha is still missing, and I got another threatening message.

To Eve & Hector: We should probably meet somewhere, all together.
==========================
*Euryale yawns & sits up.*

"Good mor--what's wrong?"
==========================
*Cameron wakes up alone in a hospital bed. He's got some bandages on his head & ribs, & in his right arm where he must have been jabbed by a needle. He has a dull head & chest ache, but it doesn't look like his injuries were that serious. Unless maybe he has brain damage again, or something.*
==========================
*Grimm is still in a shitty hotel. As far as he knows, nothing happened last night.*

Taiyo: "Roatha's still missing and Thiera got a threatening message."

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

Azuma messages her back asking where the meeting place is.

*Eve texts back*

We could meet at the cafeteria or the library.
===
*Cameron blinks and stares around the room*

<H-hello?>
