One more set of blinking, and Elsey's vision buff kicks in. "...Holy crud, it worked! ➜" Niki excitedly looks around at the rocky landscape.  "Dude, this is amazing! ➜" |

"I guess, but still, it is a little outlandish if you think about it." Fannie finishes her thought while Elsey is busy with her magic thing.
She looks over at the fallen heir, who appears to have broken down. He must really be having a bad day. She wonders how often he's like this.
After a moment, she remembers they're in the ancient past. There's somewhere she always wanted to go to in the past, on the way to somewhere she's always wanted to go period.
"Hey, there's a place I'd like to check out at some point. if we have time, I'd like to stop by there. I believe it's called... crossroads city? We'll need to cross the desert to get there though. Considering that's where the message board url tablet was found, I think it's probably important that we go there."

After a moment of looking like an irrational fool, Seth wipes his own tears. It appears he can see again.
It doesn't change a thing though. What the cultmaster said was true. He doesn't belong here.
He could never belong here.
Seth gets up off the ground and puts his temporarily enhanced eyesight to the test.
There's not much to look at around here besides a dirt road surrounded by rocks.
At that point, he remembers why they went here in the first place.
Kat.
They have to get moving again.
"I don't know about you all, but I'm gonna track down Kat. If that place you want to visit isn't on the way, don't expect me to stop so you can take pictures."
And with that, Seth begins walking down the road.
He has to find her. There's nobody else that can fill the void left in his heart.
All the other Kat's are either dead or taken already.

Elsey turns to Seth.
"You have some way to find her? You can't just approach this blindly. His puppets could be anywhere..."
She starts to walk as well.
"...But you're right, we can't take any detours...I won't be able to forgive myself if she falls from his machinations...Especially if we can stop it."

Seth looks towards the road ahead and doesn't let his gaze falter.
"I don't have any leads yet, but I know I will find her eventually. I have to find her. There is no other option."

Meanwhile, miles away (but not many)...
The maid of time from earlier is at a bar, wearing more period-appropriate clothes, getting drunk off the local brew.
"Why couldn't I do it... Why couldn't I just be a better maid? Why did I hesitate?" she mumbles to herself between sips.
Probably isn't a good idea to get buzzed while on a mission, but she doesn't really care anymore.
"I know what I'll do... I'll take her to the hourglass, and... I'll figure out the rest later."
Meanwhile, her captured is asleep in a room upstairs at the inn. How long has she been out?

"Well, if you say so..."
Elsey is starting to have her doubts...But she can't let that consume her.
Kat has to be safe...
She has to be. She can take care of herself, right...?
Kat jerks upward in a sitting position, drenched in sweat.
A sudden pain. Ack, she shouldn't have done that...
She places her hand to the area where it hurts, and her hand glows with a pale red light.
Her body returns to a state before the injury.
What in the world did she dream...? It felt so..strange.
But a dream is a dream, and now she's awake...In a bed?
Where was she? Last time, she was trying to rescue Elsey, but...
Someone had knocked her out...Rather, she got knocked out because of her injuries.
But now she's somewhere completely different.
She tries looking around.

Nak released a very audible combination of a sigh and an annoyed gargle at Seth's new proclamation.
"Why pretend big danger?? Easy to find, easy to stop cry and yell at everything, easy to grow up. Embarrassing edge-god."
With that, he floats back over next to the other quasi-lizard party member.
"You, why cronak want to break mystery research? Only seem want control lizardchild gods, how does learning lizard secrets make not happen?"

It takes a moment for Fannie to figure out what Nak is talking about, but then she puts the pieces together. She seems moderately offended upon being called a lizard though.
"why did they want to break my provider's research? From what I can tell, it's because your group was involved and they didn't want common folks to know about you guys, and possibly throw all of society out of whack. Like, you saw how I reacted that time ago when the beans got spilled. Granted, I was still just a nubbling back then, but there was a lot to worry about in my time period." Fannie takes a moment to breathe before remembering why she infiltrated the cult's main meeting base in the first place. There is a long pause.
She seems uneasy.
The room Kat is in is somewhat drab, but functional. The walls are made of long since dried mud bricks, covered with a layer of smoothed plaster on the interior. There is an open window where the sun's harsh rays can strike down from. There isn't a single cloud in the sky today.
The bed seems to he a cross between a hammock and a queen sized beach recliner, being a thick large square of something similar to burlap being held up by numerous ropes reaching across the minimalist wooden frame. There is a single moderately thick blanket with a snakeskin pattern weaved into it and a pillow of sorts, being more of a bag of dried brush type vegetation.
It's probably a bit uncomfortable, but then again, who expects luxury here?
There's not much else in here besides a doorway with hanging beads in front of it.
Some noises of rowdy folks can be heard from outside the doorway.
What will you do, Kat?

Elsey keeps walking.
This lizard with a god complex might be annoying as hell, but at least he asks some decent questions.
-
Kat slowly gets out of bed and thinks.
What should she do?
First off, she should check if she was missing anything. Like her disguise. Or anything else important.
A little after her item check, she slowly heads out of the room...But then she thinks to herself: Should she show up in public...? What time period was she in...?
She opts to at least peek outside the door before she gets out.

The main group walks for a while in the hot sun. After a few minutes, Fannie takes off the heavy cultist robe she was wearing.  A lot is on her mind right now. She didn't think she'd wind up traveling with a group of magical young adults to the distant past. It sounds like something straight out of a demon tale. The fact that the looming end of the world and other issues present in her native timeframe are essentially paused puts her at ease. It seems she can almost relax now. Almost. She has an inkling feeling that the company she's found will attract nothing but trouble, but it seems their pluses will outweigh their detriments. Besides, without them, she likely has no way to get back home. Up ahead, a rather stocky cart puller is slowly making their way up the road, going towards the group.
Kat most likely isn't missing anything, as long as nothing fell out of her pockets or anything. The disguise is likely still present. Outside of the room is a short hallway leading to a flight of stairs going down, as well as a couple other beaded doorways. Occasional loud voices and clinking glasses can be heard from downstairs. It seems to be mostly typical bar banter. |

Elsey mutters obscenities as she scrambles to hide her wings, realizing that they've been out the whole time.
She looks at the crew and says something in a volume that isn't too loud.
"D-do you think we're gonna stick out like stubborn weeds with what we're wearing? ...Ignoring the fact that we have a bright red floating lizard right next to us which will make us look weird anyway."
Kat goes on out and slowly makes her way downstairs.
There's probably no need to go to the other rooms...She respects other people's privacy.

Azure decides to try and be useful, attempting to locate Kat with the viewport, to get an idea as to her location, to forward to the group.

*Azure is able to successfully pin down Kat's location, to an extent:
[Canyon town] (38.158, 56.846)
A player already receiving commands is also within the same general area.
Commands cannot be sent to those already receiving commands from another console.
There are no viewing restrictions currently in play however.
The main group's location is as follows, for reference:
[Somewhere northwest of Canyon town] (38.199, 56.834)
There are no command receiving players within the area.
There are four players that can currently receive commands at this point:
-Nicole Garren
-Seth [REDACTED]
-
-Kimura Tanaka
Upon reaching the first floor, most of the bar patrons... don't really pay Kat very much mind. It appears the maid is too distraught and drunk off her ass to really do much.
The bartender however, notices Kat right away.
"Hey little missy. It looks like you finally woke up. Your friend here hasn't paid their tab yet. Unless you want to wash some tables I'd suggest paying up, since you look a bit more able right now."

*Azure proceeds to forward the coordinates to Niki. Hopefully this will work out... and hopefully he won't draw too much attention to himself. If one of the proxies in the chain blows up, He will pull away.
A thought later, and he preforms a swivel with the viewport, zooming out enough to get a clear picture of the specific area, sending that as well
