week two; post-investigation noodles

[elemancy]

[there's really not much thought that goes into this—but they have to eat lunch at some point... once noct finds his appetite again.

so it's to the general store to pick up a couple of cup noodles, boiling some water—and then carrying the two containers to percy's room, using his foot to knock on the door. they got stuff to talk about.

and noodles to eat, it's fine.]

Hey, it's me.

At least that would make more sense than whatever this is. I know how to do will gods who think I stole their symbols of powers and angry titans and giants. This? I have no idea what to do with this.

[elemancy]

Sure as hell makes two of us. Not sure there's really any way of making heads or tails of it without some clues about the parts we don't know.

[hydrokinetics]

Then we should probably start making a list of what parts we don't even know. Biggest thing? His employers. He's not talking about them at all.

[elemancy]

Yeah. Not even sure how we'd get that answer out of him. Haven't found any signs of anyone else, either.

[honestly, that's probably the biggest mystery of all.]

[hydrokinetics]

What do you think the likelihood is that they're kind of invisible? That camera showed up out of nowhere. Maybe they would, too.

[elemancy]

Seems kind of out there. Not saying it's impossible but...

[hm.] I think they're just out of sight. Like watching from a control room or something like that.

[hydrokinetics]

Second story of the Sheriff's station? Or maybe that train. Did you get a good look at that thing? The shadows are a little weird since Jason and I couldn't even break into the train at all.

[elemancy]

Could be either of 'em. Could be one of the boarded up places, too.

[anywhere they don't have easy access to.]

Could be even further away than that, though.

[hydrokinetics]

Sheriff did say there's nothing stopping us from going out of the town and into the desert. He also said we'd probably die, but that doesn't mean there isn't anything out there.

[elemancy]

Might be far enough out that we'd never survive getting there with what we've got, though.

[hydrokinetics]

If the only way out of this town is the stupid train, you might be right. But I haven't figured that part out yet either. That's what really gets to me about the mysteries. We're not even getting hints.

...what if it was worth trying though?

[elemancy]

Guess that depends on what the risk is. Not sure I'm ready for whatever stupid consequences that guy may have in store if we poke around the wrong places too soon.

[hydrokinetics]

A little tempting with everything on lockdown, but you're right. We have to stay smart about it.

[But at least there's noodles.] ...but we can figure it out another time, can't we?

[elemancy]

[bless the noodles, honestly. a saving grace.]

Yeah. Not like we'll be busted out of this place all that soon anyway.

[hydrokinetics]

Hey, you don't know that. Maybe this is the last town in hundreds of miles to have cup noodles. We could work out a trade and everything.

[A grin.] ...thanks, Noctis.

[elemancy]

No prob. Someone's gotta do the dirty work, right?

[like. prepare cup noodles. nailed it.]

[hydrokinetics]

It'd be nice if it wasn't guys like us for once, but this isn't so bad. [Noodle-y goodness is better than the things they're bound to find.]

[elemancy]

It's always guys like us. For whatever reason. [it's because they're protags.]
