Shef and Yuki

[Now Playing: Battle 2]

Expulser goes off and you go out. How? How did you know this would happen? The dodge you can explain. Perhaps it was subconscious, you noticed something without it ever crossing your mind. Or maybe you just knew that staying still was never a good idea. But the attack. It was a torpedo. Canan's. Coming up from right beneath you, sleek metallic casing leaping up from the floor. Why do you know this? You cannot see. The torpedo made no noise. The expulser drowns everything out anyways. Is this really just intuition?

You feel the sun shining against your skin. You feel the pavement beneath you. You are outside somewhere in the middle of the street. Can't be under the overhang - you'd be in the shade where that the case. The sun. The sun. Which way was the sun? Right yes. That way. That way. You need to get your bearings again, figure out which way to face, what way to expect attacks from. This can't be an isolated attack. Torpedos should be heading your way this instant. Get off the ground. You can't protect yourself, not for an extended time anyways.

Yuki, you just dust yourself, heal yourself off, and look for entry points. Climbing would be a bit of a pain, but you catch a lucky break - Shef crashes out into the street. Auelius follows out shortly after Andreaz at his side. Wait, Andreaz? Wasn't he in the fortress? That would explain why your arrows haven't had much luck finding him. Sneaky.

Shef, you sense something coming your way. It's a frontal attack. Footsteps follow, heavy with a peculiar cadence. Aurelius most likely, lines up with his recently inconsistent movements.

Yuki you're not blindfolded so you see what's coming - a fusillade of torpedos sweeping out from beneath Aurelius. Andreaz is throwing kunai at you; suppressive fire. Aurelius? He's charging in after the torpedos, going after Shef on all fours at the moment readying for a lunge but he's looking ready to take you on if you jump in too.

There's an explosion above. Something's happened in the fortress. Canan flies out above, she's above three stories above you sailing through the air over to the roof behind you and she's dropping another torpedo salvo. You've kept your black arrows well-spread, only a few were destroyed in her blast, and now they're free to leap down for the flank.

Minato
"Oh whoops, I was mostly trying to make smalltalk there. Sounded like a better topic than the weather but y'know I thought you said you didn't know how Faith was coping with this lifestyle and I got really concerned. Sorry for the mixup!"

273
Minato
"Wait, what did you think I was talking about?"

274
Minato
"I sort of figured that would turn up in conversation. This lifestyle, the fighting, th risk of death. Not everyone takes to war well and weren't you guys getting hounded by an Aramitama? That's a pretty rough introduction to this world."

275
Minato
"That can't be right can it? You're a couple right? Did this" she gestures broadly around her "not come up in conversation before?"
You're not sure whether the fact that the girl in front of you is actually Theodore Roosevelt makes this better or worse.

Noriko
"Sounds like fun! I hear the Itovian Peninsula is very beautiful this time of the year."
"...I didn't think a wedding could go that wrong."

276
Minato
"O-kay. But you haven't asked her about this yet?"

277
Minato
She pauses looking a little conflicted, in time she does speak though with a slower pace than thus far and a fair bit less certain.
"Please don't take this the wrong way but, she is your girlfriend right? I didn't want to assume but..."

278
Minato
You can hear the concern creeping back into her voice.
"But you have an idea right...?"

Noriko
So firstly, while applying the swimsuit was embarrassing removing it proves to be downright mortifying. Probably because this time around you're going from dressed (however questionably) to being full-on butt-naked. And yes, the removal process also involves a spray, it's too much of a pain getting it off of you otherwise, but surprisingly that knowledge doesn't make the whole "getting your swimsuit dissolved by a spray" experience any better.

With that out of the way (thank god), and Patricija's attire similarly reverted (unfortunately) you group up with Kouta (who isn't blood-related) and Ren and head on over to the quest hub.

The hub itself is this cavernous chamber with black polished floors and decorative magic circles. Quest pylons ride from the ground around a large central statue. The pylons let you sign up quests, completed one's are turned in either at the desk (manned by a human skeleton) or at a designated location. Most of the adventurers AR browsing or off to the side at the cozier looking lounges eating and chatting.

Browsing through the available quests, you identify three that don't sound too risky or menial.

Minato
Satoshi raises an eyebrow
"You mean you don't know?"

280
Minato
"Right."
More silence.
"How are the greenhorns coping?"

281
Minato
A pause. Satoshi blinks. "Excuse me?"

282
Minato
"You sure about that? I mean, I don't want to pry but with the festival in town and everything, wrecking face sounds like the main attraction here."

283
Minato
"Oh? What's this? Cat got your tongue?" A thoughtful tut "What would Faith say I wonder..."
The topic doesn't continue, instead she leans forwards a little closer voice lowering ever so slightly. Business mode. Sort of.
"Why are you here Minato? I'd ask business or pleasure but y'know"
She gestures at Shef as he just fucking blows himself out of the building.
