Fumacine City - Arrival
Pleione: Welcome back, Saja!
Pleione: I heard your group is going after that ancient ship that Zetsfir stole!
Saja: We're going after the stolen ruins?
Saja: Zetsfir gated it away! It's not like we can go after it!
Pleione: It was just a rumor. Doesn't make sense, now that I think about it.
Pleione: There have been a lot of rumors floating around as of late. I know, top secret, hush-hush and all that...
Pleione: They promoted me at headquarters, so I get to hear all of the juicy stuff now!
Pleione: Oh, by the way, is that new girl you found in the ruins with you?
Pleione: Your hair is growing back already!
Malachi: Yeah... it's finally growing back.
Saja: We thought he'd be permanently bald after he set his hair on fire working in the kitchen at that restaurant.
Pleione: Looks good, Malachi.
Malachi: Actually... speaking of hair... Saja, have you noticed that Ravenna and Virulyde have exactly the same hair?
Saja: Now that you mention it, they have the same hair color but also those long spines on the sides...
Saja: Malachi, where is Ravenna?
Malachi: I think she's with Virulyde. They went off to get some food.
Saja: Okay. We'll need to make sure to regroup with them before heading to HQ.
Malachi: I'm going to go find Virulyde and Ravenna. It's nice seeing you again, Pleione.
Pleione: Okay, Malachi! Let's grab a coffee before you leave town again. Sound good?
Malachi: You bet! See you later!
Saja: So, Pleione... you finally managed to climb up in the ranks, huh? Harder than it looks, isn't it?
Pleione: Yes, it's definitely a lot of work. Listen, Saja...
Pleione: There are a lot of us at headquarters who have heard some scary things. The Prince is... well... he's been acting strangely.
Saja: If you're heading back that way, I'd like to come with you if that's okay. I'd like to gather some information.
Pleione: Sure, you'll be coming in later for a briefing, anyway!
Ravenna: ...so it's kind of weird how that guy was right after all.
Virulyde: Yeah. How he thought Zetsfir was a death cult was certainly spot on, even if he was thousands of years ahead of his time.
Ravenna: I wonder what happened to everyone. How did they end up? What did Bus and I miss out on?
Ravenna: Well, I mean... there's a chance Dad finishes his time machine and comes after us. If we could jump forward in time, so could he, right?
Virulyde: Maybe. Time Travel isn't my area of expertise.
Virulyde: What would you do if he was able to find you?
Ravenna: We'd find my friend, Bus, and then travel back in time.
Virulyde: Then what? If you were trying to stop the migration... you must realize that would erase the existence of this world, right?
Ravenna: Hmmmm.... yeah, now that I think about it...
Virulyde: Ravenna, we can't just allow you to do that.
Ravenna: I mean, this is all proof that humans survived the migration! There would be no need to prevent it!
Virulyde: Assuming time travel even works that way. Still, we have the right to exist.
Ravenna: Of course you do! I don't want to erase anyone!
Virulyde: You're a good person, Ravenna. I can tell.
Virulyde: See? Even Dregweht thinks so!
Virulyde: Hey, man. What's up?
Malachi: Oh, Saja and Pleione are just catching up.
Ravenna: I'm going to go meet up with them. Good chat, Virulyde. Malachi, see you again in a bit, okay?
Malachi: Sure. Don't get lost, Ravenna!
Virulyde: What's up, Malachi?
Malachi: I bet you a choccy fish that those three gab for an hour.
Malachi: Want to play some video games until it's time for the meeting at HQ?
Virulyde: You read my mind! It's been a long time since I've had guests at my place. It might be a bit dusty.
Malachi: Let's go. I'm totally going to win this time, by the way.
