HALO 180: Turn 360 Degrees And Moonwalk Away

"Pfh, glaciers. I've only had, like, three good fights on glaciers. More than forests, at least," he says. Nowhere near as good as active volcanoes, though.

Catherine's Room

"Forests can be okay, but I grew up in a glacier. I like glaciers. I need to find one of my own at some point, I think. If you see any good ones around here, let me know."

"Oh, you'll be the first. Gotta have a cool place for a cool lady like you to crash at," Aiden says. "Okay the cool jokes probably got old."

Catherine's Room

"I dunno. I'm pretty cold to them by now." Catherine, super full of excitement at getting to do this, springs up and rushes over to her drum set to play an actual 'ba dum tish', as is fitting of the really, really lame joke she just made.

Then, just as quickly, she scrambles back into her spot.

Catherine's Room

Aiden's mouth hangs open for a moment, then he bursts into laughter. "Oh man, that was great. You're great," he manages to say.

"Darn right I am! Took 8 years to get that ba dum tish down right, I'll have you know. But I'm a pro at it now." Catherine jokes, before her deadpan breaks, and she laughs with him.

Catherine's Room

Aiden takes a few seconds to calm down. "Well, it is such a complicated maneuver, I can hardly blame you for taking the time to get it right."

Catherine's Room

"It is! A lot of thought and time and focus and determination goes into it Probably the most complicated thing of all time. Ever." Catherine grins, getting over her laughing fit fairly quickly, though she still looks most amused.

[Devixer]

Catherine's Room

"So, so, so complicated." Aiden's over that bit of laughing now, though he's still got a dumb grin.

"It's so true." Catherine grins at him some more, enjoying the joking.

Though after a bit longer, she sighs, and, while still smiling, does say that "It's getting pretty late."

"I guess it is," Aiden says. "When's your test dealio? I probably shouldn't be here for that." Plus he had to go get all of his stuff, which really just amounted to his weapons.

"In, like," Catherine look at her phone to get the time, "five hours, and I should probably get at least some sleep before that."

[Devixer]

Catherine's Room

"Yeah, I guess you do need to sleep," Aiden says, then stands up. "Well, hanging out with you's the most fun I had since I got here. Let's do it again some time soon."

"Hoooow about tomorrow? I'm in classes for a good chunk of tomorrow, but afterwards I could stand to destress from the test?" Catherine offers, also standing up. "This was a lot of fun."

[Devixer]

Catherine's Room

"Tomorrow sounds good. I need to get my stuff from Vigil anyway if I'm gonna join HALO," Aiden says. "See you then!" And with that, he'll turn away, unless Catherine has anything else to say.

"Tomorrow it is then! I'll be back around" some time. Who knows for sure. It's the Nexus. "! Feel free to come on in and play stuff if I'm not back yet when you get here. Good night!" Catherine didn't have anything else to add, and waved to Aiden as he left. Then after he was gone, shut her door, sighed slightly at not wanting to take her test tomorrow, and went over to her bed to pass out for a few hours at least.

Hotaru's Hideout

What's on the holorecording, Dear?

Evan kneels down to get a closer look at the recording.

In a burst of electricity, Hotaru's next to Evan. She grabs the holorecording for a while, then lets it go. "Just... a recording of me and my old teammates." She stares at the holorecording with a smile on her face, then walks away to pack up the bed. "Feel free to play it."

When Evan presses play, a 3D image with no sound would project itself on a nearby wall. The video, to put it briefly, shows Hotaru and 3 other people (specifically 2 guys and 1 girl) in a series of scenes (battle, social life, wandering, death of the heavy and their disbanding). There's a team leader (a guy in dreads), a medic (the other girl), a heavy (bald guy) and their techie (Hotaru).

As the 3-minute long holorecording ends, Hotaru speaks. "Everyone apart from Sai is alive and well. We disbanded a few years ago. I go and check up on them every once in a while... I wish you could meet them."

Evan gets a good look at everyone's faces.

Why can't I, Dear?

Catherine's Room

And then a day later, Aiden's back here again! Only now he has his sword and guns on his back, per usual. He opens the door and enters, only to find Catherine not there.

"Huh." Looks like she was at those classes she'd mentioned. He shrugs and looks around a bit before settling down to play some game or another.

Catherine's Room

Well, the room is still just about how it was when they were last here! Though the bed has an unkempt blanket on it, all shoved off to one side and definitely not made at all. If Aiden wanted to poke around, there's probably stuff. But she might appreciate it if he just played games for a while.

If Aiden doesn't want to poke around, then she'll show up next post!

Hotaru's Hideout

Evan gets a good look at everyone's faces.

Why can't I, Dear?

Hotaru sighs. "Well, I'm in my wandering phase. Besides, I just came back from their places, recently." She smiles, then walks up to Evan and takes his face in her hands. "You might get to meet them, but it won't be anytime soon. Besides, I'm not sure if you're used to walking long distances, like me."

She presses a button on both desks, which converts them into small chests. She then pulls them into the centre of the room, then moves to pull the large chest. "Thank you for helping me with this big chest. Really, no problem." She says with a wink.

[DoomITP]

Hotaru's Hideout

Evan smirks at Hotaru before he takes one side of the box to help Hotaru.

Oh I know all about walking. Trust me.

[Cyber Punk]

Hotaru's Hideout

"Ah, yes. Fellow wanderer. We'll tour the Nexus together! The Evtaru Duo." Hotaru chuckles. "Evtaru. That's sounds... weird..." Together, they move the box to the centre of the room. "Next, the bedroll. I'm used to sleeping pretty much anywhere, but I'm attached to this bedroll. Pretty please?" Hotaru gives Evan the puppy dog eyes.

[DoomITP]

Hotaru's Hideout

The puppy dog eyes are super effective and draw a smile from Evan.

Don't see why not.

His smile turns lethal yet again.

I'm sure it'll be put to good use.

[Cyber Punk]

Hotaru's Hideout

Lethal smile has it's desired effect, as Hotaru blushes heavily, the redness can even be seen through her cheeks. "I'll hold you to that." She walks up to the bedroll, rolls it up, then tosses it along with her other things.

"There, that's that!" And all that being said and done, she presses a series of buttons on the center storage disc, causing her things to be un-digistructed, and the pixels to flow into the storage disc. "Done!" She picks up the storage disc, and pockets it. "Now I just have to decide what to do about this building."

((Or... I can move it to Home!))

[DoomITP]

Hotaru's Hideout

Kinda too late at this point, we'll be heading back to HALO shortly.

Evan looks around with a professional eye.

I have something that can slag the place. Make it untraceable.

Aiden decides it's probably for the best if he doesn't poke around. That was part of their contract, after all, and he knew better than to go back on a promise to a dragon.

When Catherine shows, he'll just be playing games.

Hotaru's Hideout

Hotaru laughs a bit too loudly. "No need for that. Care to guess why?" A beat. "NANOMACHINES, SON!"

((Im so sorry, I couldn't resist. And if you don't get the reference, don't worry about it ))

"I was thinking of leaving it here. One has to have a hideout for rainy days... when I'm not in HALO, for instance. Whaddya think?" Before Evan can reply, she quickly comes to a decision. "Yyyyyeah... best to thrash it."

Hotaru checks to see if she has everything, then looks up at Evan. "Normally, I'd store the building itself along with my things, but now... -sigh- Slag it."

[Deathkeeper]

Library

"Well, these bags are designated for library books, so it's really not a problem? But if you're sure?" Civvy offers, because keeping the books with you is much better than not having them on hand at all times.

Spade looks down at his little stack, and then back to Civvy.
"Oh, well, if it's no trouble then I'll just take one. Where are those? I don't have a very good viewpoint from down here." he says, looking about.

Evan looks over at Hotaru, concern in his eyes. Something wasn't right.

What's wrong, Dear?

Catherine's Room

As the old saying goes, "Never meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy, and taste good with ketchup."

After about an hour or two of Aiden arriving and playing gaemz, Catherine comes back! She walks over to her desk, and drops off her backpack with a very loud thud of an overloaded book-bag being dropped from any height, before waving once to Aiden, and going straight over to her drum set. She needed to hit something.

She puts on a fairly large pair of headphones, and after an obviously habitual few spins of the sticks, she proceeds to hit some stuff.

Spade looks down at his little stack, and then back to Civvy.
"Oh, well, if it's no trouble then I'll just take one. Where are those? I don't have a very good viewpoint from down here." he says, looking about.

"Right over at the front desk. Over thisaway!" Civvy says, leading them off once again! Though this time to the front desk of the library. Sadly, there is no librarian. "They're under the desk." She informs him, sitting down in the chair, and pulling out one of the drawers. In the drawer are several book-sized bags. She takes one out and offers it to Spade. "And here ya go!"
