(April 18th - 19th)

So upon asking around in Hugel, you've learned that Arunafeltz has been abandoned for some years now. Something about the majority of the city disappearing off until the remainder moved off to Lighthalzen and left the city as a ghost town. Many of them have heard of the traveling machine, but never had seen it for themselves, except for a few who can recount their friends or family members going off world.

The journey to Arunafeltz shouldn't take more than a day. Once you get there, you should start rooting around the city center. Explore a little bit, and enjoy yourself. Your company. You're this much closer to getting home.

[Mission: Explore the city and rig your ride home.]

[nah she has the book, but the ring meant a lot too. laughs a little and looks down]

Yeah, my dad's around. [ a bit crazy, but he's around]

[cabineyes]

That's something.

[ you don't sound too happy about it. ]

[recurred]

[dont take it the wrong way. she's happy to see him too, but she can see him again and again and again. she can't have that with her mum]

[looks up at the city center, trailing dippily behind the other two parties as they go venture inward]

Yeah. You lot though, if this works, I don't think we'll be seeing one another again. [its about as much as being dead]

[cabineyes]

You never know.

This isn't the first time we've traveled between worlds.

[ trying to make it sound light but yeah. she's right. ]

[recurred]

True.[look at you, being optimistic]

[raises eyebrows at him before stepping inside]

[cabineyes]

[ not exactly optimistic. follows her in. ]

Maybe once I finish with my revenge I'll try and look for your world.

[ because once he is done there really is nothing else left. might as well. ]

[recurred]

It's a bit of an odd one. Afraid you might be the odd man out. Kind of like rehabilitating a patient who was in a coma and missed all the bustle of modern expansion.

[maybe get you some real clothes]

[cabineyes]

[ hey he made it through new york just fine. he can handle it. ]

I'm quick to adapt. And you'd be there to help me.

[recurred]

I'd love to get you out of all the leather....and stringy things.

[its one of those things you say and don't realize can be sexual until like .2 seconds after]

[cabineyes]

Oh, would you?

[ everything sounds sexual to him don't worry. ]

[recurred]

[opens mouth to backpedal, but she's got...nothing.]

It's rather...dramatic. They'd stick you in a theme park.

[cabineyes]

Naked?

[ what's a theme park. ]

[recurred]

[why is she thinking about it]

I...No.

[this has derailed. trips a little as they stand in the lobby. where go.]

[cabineyes]

I think I heard something from upstairs.

[ so much dust everywhere it's easy to tell where they went. on the second thought. glances at her. ]

Lass, before we go...

[ this is probably their last moment together before entering the crazy groupthread. ]

[recurred]

[about to step forward and out of this self contained awkward moment before stopping and looking back at him]

Going to get all sappy on me now, eh?

[cabineyes]

Oh, you know me. Sappy isn't really my strong side.

[ he manages to look a bit emotional nevertheless. grins. ]

But this is my last chance of saying it.

[recurred]

[okay. she'll humor him.

[gives a nod. dropping the sass for a moment and stepping closer to him]

[cabineyes]

[ yeah you drop the sass. you drop it good. ]

[ meets her half-way and pulls her into a kiss. for the last time. ]

[recurred]

[good last kiss. slides hand along his neck and leans into him.]

[im sorry you couldn't get the booty hook. it would have never worked out. like ever.]

[recurred]

[breaks it as the machine above them starts up]

[holy crap thats loud]

They've started without us?

[cabineyes]

[ makes sure dean will taste him when they bid goodbyes. one last shitting that way. reluctantly pulls away from her. ]

Wouldn't surprise me.

[recurred]

[takes a deep breath and looks back up at him. scratching at the scruff along the side of his face almost fondly before she pulls away.]

[starts moving to the stairs and nods him a long with a more forced smile]

Come on.

[cabineyes]

You go ahead.

[ smiles after her. kind of. you always want to be the first one in trouble don't you. ]

[ he'll need a moment. ]

[recurred]

[if you say so]

[nods once before skipping up the stairs]

[cabineyes]

[ waits til she's gone and then pulls a ring out of his back pocket. silver with an opal. that's it. but then again he knew that already. saw it way before the village. ]

[ rolls it between his fingers, lost in thought. it's not worth much but a pirate always keep a souvenir of his conquest. ]

[ ... almost felt bad there for a moment. he must be getting soft. ]
