[Game 21] That Night

[arsgoetia]

After everyone has gotten fed and had a chance to learn the basic details of what things are like here, Kieran calls you all together (pretty much because Madison had been trying to work up the steam to do so, so Kieran stepped in instead).

It's dark outside, and a little chill—about 9 or 10PM.

"Okay, guys," Kieran says. "So, Maddy's got enough train tickets for all of us minus two. Maddy's staying behind because of prophecy reasons, and I'm going to stay with him so he's not left alone in this house and also because I'm probably a killswitch for a powerful incubus, aka my boyfriend, showing up if anything happens to me and, by extension, Maddy." He delivers this all in a deadpan. "Anything else, Maddy?"

Maddy looks a little alarmed to be put on the spot, shaking his head and flushing a little. "Er. Not for now. Oh . . . if anything goes. Weird? Please listen to Sariel—he's . . . in charge?" And he hands over an envelope to everyone's favourite psychopomp.

Don't tell me you don't know of the most noble steed? Is this a continent that prefers horses then? Not, mind you, that horses are not also noble and excellent steeds! Worthy as they are. Still, it's hard to beat the comfort of a properly trained chocobo to fly you to your destination.

Indeed! Mechanical wonders are convenient, but the pride of having a companion raised from a baby chick to be your loyal friend in travel and battle is unmatched! And naturally you get quite used to the smell!
