First Discovery | Action x2

OTA

[Sorey is incredibly excited to get to explore all of Union and its ruins, but he's been holding off on the ruins until Mikleo got back from Gigas so they could go exploring together.

And he's back, so that means Sorey is trying to find where the blazes he's supposed to get a lantern. His Eevee is just sitting at his feet, yawning while Sorey looks around the Union shopping district a bit confused]

There's got to be a supply shop around here somewhere...or even a bookstore.

Closed to Mikleo

[Mikleo is met by Sorey's Eevee whenever he gets back to where they're staying since Sorey's gone to get dinner. Mab nearly trips him as he runs over and rubs himself all over Mikleo's ankles. Looks like he was worried]

[Sorey was in the middle of a bit when Mikleo mentions Regigigas and he ends up choking from the shock.]

Wait--[cough hack]--what?

[Mikleo looks about ready to leap over to him, but the fact that Sorey's talking has him relax. Only slightly, though. He pushes over his friend's glass of water closer to him.]

Drink that and try your question again.

[He does with a small smile of thanks]

They have a god captive?!

[He crosses his arms.]

Not just one god, either. Regigigas and his three servants are essentially their captives, and I wouldn't put it passed their Emperor to make sure that one break-in was all we'd get. Unfortunately, I don't know where or who the other three are. It's possible that one of the other teams do, though.

[Mikleo shakes his head, looking slightly disturbed.]

So...things are a lot worse than we thought.

Yeah.

[Sorey feels sick]

There's gotta be some way to help them, but I don't think even Gramps would have an idea.

[Mikleo can empathize.]

It's even more complicated when the general populace doesn't know about this. At least, that's the assumption. The last thing we want is for them to be caught up in potential retaliation against their captors.

[He sighs softly. It's a mess.]

For now, we wait and see what Union decides. In the meantime, we can see if there's anything in the ruins around here that can give us a clue.

Yeah...I hope they don't know. I don't think I'd know what to think if they were.

[Such a mess]

Worth a shot. If nothing else, it'll be fun.

My thoughts exactly.

[On all points, frankly. Mikleo decides to change the subject, at least for now. It's something they'll have to revisit later.]

So, how's Union? I haven't really had a chance to explore it like you.

For all of the destruction and rebuilding, it's lively! Pretty crowded, though, since they build up not out. It's easy to get lost.

No kidding. I got turned around a couple of times on the way here.

[He shakes his head.]

It's just something we've gotta get used to, I suppose. Sounds like you've been enjoying the city, though.

Eh, it was something to do. It'll be more fun now that you're back, though.

[He smiles, going back to his dinner]

[Holy crap, Sorey, you're so embarrassing. He's going to blush a faint pink and look away at that.]

Well. Guess that means both of us will be lost in Union for the first week together.

[Not that it sounds like a bad thing.]

We need map...if there's any that are still useful after that attack a few months ago.

Well, if worse comes to worse, we can always make one ourselves.

[Mikleo hopes that they can avoid that, but...it's an option.]

...are either of us good at cartography?

Not specifically, but it's no different than mapping out ruins. Union's just a little more complicated.

True, though who knows how the city's going to change in the next month? Might be better to just wait.

Then we'll just have to settle with a mental map for now. I doubt that if there are any currently surviving maps they'll have labels for where major construction is taking place.

Still, it might be a good idea to get one so we can follow it and see where things are different, what used to be where and where it is now.

True, and we can always get an updated map later when reconstruction is finished. So, we'll see what we can find tomorrow.

[At least they have a lot of backup plans in case there isn't a map that they can purchase.]
