Blarby

As morning comes to Neo-Edifex, there are no sunbeams that drift through the blacked-out windows of the Starlight Lounge.

None even pierce the infrastructure of the upper city above you, as the Greenlight District slowly begins to wake up.

After the brutal night you just experienced, you now must decide what to do with the girl and the revelation that has fallen into your lap.

You're all exhausted.

But Blarby and Mila are waiting for you for breakfast as you stare at this number blinking in front of you.

004, 004, 004.

In the realization of what this means, as you look between Frost and look back behind you to where you know Mila to be,

You still are covered in sludge from your recent adventures, and there's a lot to be done, but there are some decisions that need to be made and some things that are top of mind in this moment, much more important than whether you shower in five minutes or ten.

As you feel it, you feel like for a second, there's a flash of a memory, white, chrome, but just as quickly as it comes to you, it's gone, and as you try and reach for it, more of it, you feel it almost unraveling in your mind, as you feel that pinprick of pain right between your eyes.

You keep thinking.

I don't remember anything about syringes and sterile halls, and you see that flash again in your mind, white and chrome, white and chrome.

You hear the click of shoes on sterile floors, and every time these flashes come to you, you can almost see them unraveling in your mind, and as you try to remember what you just saw, all you see is white, and that throbbing in your head is getting stronger and stronger.

You would all go up and do something similarly unless anyone wanted to do anything aside from getting ready.

It does take you about 20 minutes or so for everyone to collectively tidy up and freshen up.

Stepping out of your respective showers, putting on fresh clothes, the exhaustion hits you.

even harder than it had before.

Your muscles are weak, your eyes are tired, and if you could avoid this breakfast, you would, but you can hear the sounds of childlike laughter wafting up from the kitchen, and it's very clear that the girls are waiting for you and preparing a healthy breakfast for all of you as you convene around 20 minutes later together once again on the dance floor in the

in the main hall of the Starlight Lounge.

I was insinuating that you would be on the dance floor first, so if you wanted to talk about anything before you went into breakfast, you could.

Or you can go straight into breakfast.
