auroraexpress | EVENT: ORIGIN'S ORIGINS (Aftermingle)

Who: everyone
When: Day 32, morning
Where: the clearing

[As the final session of exploring the town ends, it's getting close to dawn.

There's a break of about an hour, while the explorers return, licking their wounds. Then, a flash of dark, violet sparkles, and a petite young man with many many wings appears, standing atop the train.

Some of you have heard his voice before, speaking of justice in Trials. You might've heard about him, and how there's "something wrong with him", too. This is The Angel, and his wings are dyed a deep black, with feathers falling out in a sickly way. He doesn't look too pleased, but he also doesn't look like he's about to attack.]

So, you searched. What did you find out? I want to know if you really think this universe is worth saving.

If it's not... Then there's no point to your existence, is there?

[Well. He's not attacking yet, anyway. He is taking a moment to gesture at your deertaur companion though -- a wisp of black wind is pulled out of his mouth.]

I'll give you one chance.

[At least your dead companions are safe? They're waking up now in their rooms, none the worse for wear. But they remember dying, and they have a deep sense that they've seen a kind of void no person should ever look into.]

Mm, I'll ask them, but what did you find out?

Let's see.... Well, I could only read one entry. It went something like this--

[ He closes his eyes and quotes from memory. ]

"Day by day I grow more concerned with the state of this Star. It's our duty to maintain peace. Our ancestors came here to honor our alliance with the Star Kingdom, and here we are, fighting with eachother.

We all come from the same Origin. Why does anything else matter? Surely, if our kingdom needs the funds, it's for a reason. --Although, I'm starting to wonder if the money's going back home to begin with.

NTS: ask Lily what she knows."

Ah. Sounds like quite the complex political scenario.

Ah, do you want breakfast? If the others were out too, they must be hungry.

Yeah. I'm interested in hearing what everyone else learned.

[ But he nods at her question. ]

It can definitely wait 'til after breakfast, though.

Licorice is getting omelets.

Omelets! I'm looking forward to it already. ♪♫

Indeed. If I can't explore, I can at least make the food.

Well, I can explore, I was just tired last night.

Nothing wrong with that! You gotta sleep sometime, after all.

Worried they'll all get messed up without me, though. You too.

You're worried, huh? That's pretty cute. Well everything turned out okay this time.

Okay, sure.

[Making her way back to Licorice.]

[ He's following along, tempted by the promise of breakfast, whistling tunelessly once more as he walks. ]

Who else was there besides Eliza?

Let's see.... Rean was also there.... Rufus, Naeva, Cat.... A couple of newbies I didn't really have time to meet properly....

...Do you think Rufus puts something in his hair to make it stay nice even in the jungle or when fighting?

Oh, there's no doubt about it. The man's got to have an impressive hair-care regimen.

That's why I keep my hair rather simple.

Yeah, I'm not really interested in anything fancy either.

Maybe a braid would be okay once in a while.

Maybe... it's worth considering, anyway.

Mm. I'm going to make the eggs spicy. I hope you don't mind.

Sounds pretty good to me, actually! I like a little spice in my food.

Good, I feel the same way.

[Reaching the dorm car, she immediately starts to the kitchen!]

Makes it interesting if you ask me. Want any help?

Chop some vegetables, whatever's easy to cook quickly in the pan.
