Golden Age: Revival

E"(That seems counter-productive to the idea of going to school.)"

<Well, Ari, what do you think the answer to the first question is?>

What is critical thinking?
========================================
<You heard the Cave Goddess, did you not?>

*Ari reads the first question again.*

"She said something about your negligence, but I don't see what that has to do with the establishment of a city like Camelot."

Mimiru:<(Could always tell the truth and probably expect a lot of alone time with the special needs worker over there.)>

"(Why don't any of you ever give a straight answer? Do you forget that I have no idea what things like 'special needs worker' even MEAN?)"

<That's nice, but what do you think the ANSWER is?>
===========================================
<I'm not sure what you know of the story of Camelot's fall. So let me tell you the Neo's RP version true story: 2 of our knights declared war on Camelot & left to search for foreign monsters, with which to build an army. We believed them to be an isolated incident, but we were wrong. In actuality, the King's son Mordred had organized the entire thing. Once he had us spread thin enough, he let our enemies, the Franks & the Romans ransack the city, before attacking with his remaining minions, as well as a secret army of magical beasts known as Djinn. He then travelled to Avalon, aiming to harness the raw magical forces of nature to conquer the world. He was defeated, but one of his minions used his last strength in an attempt to end the world. It was all the King could do to stop the devestation by sealing off all of that power. Camelot's very structure was rotten to the core, & because of that, the world fell into a dark age.>

"That sounds horrible, I didn't know, history really got details wrong there..."

Mimiru:<(They work with people who need a little help. Like what they'll think of us if we start going on about magic being real and the like.)>

*Euryale glares at her & snaps the pencil with her fist.*
=============================================
<In any event, we should probably find a place to rest.>

"If you think so."

Mimiru:<(Yeesh.)>

*She goes about filling in her own answers*

Meanwhile, Luna and Kyoujin were at a park just sitting under the cool shade of a tree. Luna had suggested going home but Kyoujin had told her she just wanted to wonder around for a while.
"This is a lovely spot" Luna smiled, lying down on soft green grass, "Have you been here before?"
"Yeah, once when I was little" Kyoujin nodded, sitting with her back against the tough bark of the tree, "for my birthday party. That was before I even knew Deborah... it was back when I still wanted to be a princess or a ballerina."
Kyoujin smiled for the first time that day, seemingly amused at the thought of how she used to be.
"All little girls dream of things like that" Luna also smiled slightly, "I did, too. But I never ended up going for anything quite so glamorous."
"Neither, I lost interest in the whole idea" Kyoujin nodded, her smile dying away, "Especially after I found the stone."
"Which stone would that be?"
"The stone which gave me my power..." Kyoujin sighed, slowly turning a dark green stone over and over in her hand which sat in her left pocket, "After I discovered I was different... I had powers... Any dreams of having a glamorous, care-free life pretty much went out the window."

*He stops the canoe, lashing it with more light ropes, & hops out.*
========================================
*Euryale just balls up the worksheet & throws it in the trash. The teacher & special needs worker raise their eyebrows.*
========================================
*Nero is also in the park, throwing rocks at ducks.*

[Guess you'll find out the hard way.]

"(What's that one say?)"

Mimiru:<(Why don't you turn around and look at your own sheet?)>

"(I think I'm stuck.)"

A slightly awkward silence had fallen over the pair before Kyoujin spotted Nero.
"Hey..." She said, nudging Luna's arm with her foot and pointing at Nero, "Is the guy over there attacking ducks... Neo?"
Luna sat up and looked too, "I think that's Nero. We should say hello."

Kyoujin stood up and walked over to Nero, followed by Luna.

Noctis gets out as well, "Maybe you should find firewood." She said, shivering a bit thanks to having wet pants.

<Indeed. Do you need anything before I head out into the jungle?>
=======================================
*The bell for the last class rings.*

Noctis looked up at him confused, "What could you give me?"

*Taiyo almost falls out of her desk as she tries to get out after sitting backwards most of the class.*

"Isn't it strange that we all have the same classes?"

Mimiru:<I don't know. Maybe.>

<I do not know, but if you make a request, I will do my utmost to fulfill it.>
=============================================
~In the next class~

"I don't know. Maybe Thiera planned that too? But it seems unlikely. Unless she somehow knew we'd all go to the park that night."

Mimiru:<Impossible.>

*Allina's sitting there, yawning every now and then, and listening to the teacher.*

"Just firewood will be fine, and tinder of course, but I'm sure you knew that." She said with a bit of a smile. For an ancient knight he is kind of a nice guy... No, it is probably because he is an ancient knight that he is a nice guy.

Gallahad nods before heading off into the jungle. Leaving Noctis in pitch darkness. She hears the roar of a jaguar.*
===========================================
"I don't knnow, I'm just throwing ideas out there. We don't know very much about any of these people."

Mimiru:<I'm sure they don't know very much about us. Personally at least.>

Noctis pays it no mind, "Between thunderbirds and goddesses, I'm not going to chicken out over a little kitty." She said, though she take her shotgun out.
