3 Girls 1 Guy (Closed)
« on: September 19, 2016, 10:57:19 PM »
At the Beacon airship docks, Marigold and Stella sat on the steps with the latter's dark grey airship behind them, awaiting the arrival of the others.

"So, you think they're coming?"

"Yes, I'm sure they will. Anyways, I'm not making any demands, but could you perhaps act... nicer to them?"

Stella looked at Marigold for a moment. "You gave them a later time so you could tell me that."

"Guilty."

Pausing for a moment, she said, "Camellia is fine. Asako and her get along quite well. As for the other one. Nathan. The information Asako retrieved makes him sound fairly useful for what we'll be working on. I hope he's one of those awkward types. That'll be entertaining. Sure. Why not."

"Thank you, Stella."

Nathan turned the corner, strolling at his usual pace instead of using Ergia, because that was for urgent matters. The airship had finally arrived. As usual, he'd been far too early. He wondered what Marigold wanted - after all, he'd been in the middle of playing his favorite game, ALO. 'T was a weird one, mostly due to the hardware, but it was incredibly fun.

As he neared the docks, he saw two small-ish figures sitting on stairs leading to a dark grey airship. He easily recognized Marigold, but failed to perform the same task on the person accompanying her - from what he could tell, a black-haired girl about their age. When he was certain he had caught the blonde lass' attention, he waved to her.

Standing up, Marigold waved back to Nathan. Meanwhile another girl, Camellia, had skipped passed Nathan up to them. "Hihi!"

Nathan arrived shortly after Camellia, a small smile appearing on his face. "Hey Mari!", and generally acknowledged the others' presence with curt nods.

"Hey! Camellia! Nathan! So glad to see you two!"

Stella stood up and stuck out her hand to Nathan. "Stella Chartreuse."

"And I'm Camellia!"

Nathan answered the presentations with a simple "Pleasure." before turning back to Marigold.

"So, why am I here?", he asked as he crossed his arms.

"Ah yes, I would like the assistance from the three of you on some tech-related issues. An energy source and a weapon, to be precise."

Meanwhile, a holographic ring appeared around Stella and a voice came out. "nathan67003"

"Yes, Asako?"

"I ran his name and his age and returned a result from ALO's account directory. He was online just a few moments ago. Nathan. We apologize for interrupting with your day. Even if you decide not to help us, you will be compensated for your time with one million Cash Shop credits. Untradeable of course."

Meanwhile, Camellia had already strapped herself into one of the seats lining the airship walls.

Nathan had been about to ask what Marigold was planning on using those techs for when, after a holo-like ring appeared around Stella, something spoke his in-game name out loud. His thoughts ground to a halt as he stared at the fluctuating waveform.

What.

Shaking it off after a few seconds, he managed to press out "...Thhaaaanks, but I don't think that'll be necessary. Whoever you are. With access to the ALO -" Oh. Oooooooooh. So that AI's probably part of Prometheus Labs. Hopefully. It's better than a hacker. Snapping out of it again, he turned to his blonde friend as he moved towards the airship, taking Ergia out of its harness and putting it onto his lap while he plopped into the nearest available seat. "And on that bombshell, what exactly do you plan to do with the techs that could solve the issues?"

Stella entered the ship and sat next to Nathan as Marigold sat across from him, next to Camellia.

"We'll be discussing this at Stella's timeshare on Floor 77 of the Littorio Hotel. All the presentation materials are set up there."

Seeing Nathan strap himself in, Stella said, "So, it seems you're interested then?"

"I am!"

Nathan nodded in assent at Marigold's statement and, before answering Stella's question, couldn't help but crack a grin at Camellia's overjoyed response. "Sure, why not. I don't even know what this is about yet, might as well check it out."

As the door closed and the airship began ascending and the nacelles tilted, Stella said, "Just one more thing. Can you handle going hypersonic?"

Nathan's smile widened slightly, into an ever so lightly predatory one. "Can you handle halfway supersonic out of the airship?"

Without answering, the airship activated on full power and they were suddenly streaking through the skies. After about a minute, the plane slowed down and performed a wide turn before descending vertically. As it touched down, Marigold shook her head and got out. "Oof. Still haven't fully gotten used to that yet."

"Yeah, well be thankful I've implemented gravity dust to ease the G-force or you'd be vomiting all over the place."

Camellia unbuckled herself, perfectly fine and hopped out of the airship to gaze upon the large building in front of them. "Woaaah..."

Nathan followed Camellia's lead, barely disturbed by the whole ordeal, and stepped outside. His eyebrows rose a few millimiters as he said "Yyyyep."

Looking over the hotel, Camellia said after quickly counting the floors, "Wait... Floor 77? Isn't that at the top?"

"Yup. About 70% of this building is Prometheus so I partially own it. Now then, come on, let's go."

Marigold said before following her, "Alright, thank you for allowing us to borrow your place, Stella."

Pausing for a moment, Stella said, "It's no problem" before continuing into the enormous lobby.
