House of the Mark.

They reach the outside and see a huge sign protruding from the building; they stare at it for a bit….

Touma: It appears they weren't kidding about the sign, shall we enter now?

They go in and see a nice big luxurious lobby hall, with chandeliers and pillars, but it's empty except for an NPC at the desk.

Yuko: Hm, I wonder why there's no on else in here.

Akira(Knocks Yuko on the head for a comedic effect): Does this place look cheap to you? You need good brass to live here.

Yuko howls in pain.

Yuko: I see. They must be out on quests, sorry.

They continue to head to the front desk where they see a woman dressed in traditional a maid outfit and are greeted.

NPC(Softly): Greeting! Welcome to the House of the Mark, Celestial guild. My name is Sarari one of the many maids that work in this facility. I am acquainted to provide quick and outstanding service to all our guests. As you may know House of the Mark has many exciting things to keep you all entertained such as: Indoor go-karting tracks, Library, Arcade room, Vs sparring rooms, fine dining rooms, a spa, a pool, a theater, and many more entertaining things. Here are your keys, if you lose them they will respawn down here at this desk, to collect key say “Yes” to decline say “No.”

Rin: Yes.

Sarari: Here are your keys, please open your hands.

They have open their hand and a golden key appears in it.

Sarari: Shall I repeat what was stated?

Rin: No.

Sarari: Very well, if you need guidance to your rooms, please ask the nearby escorter to the right. Enjoy your stay!

Sarari bows and goes neutral.

Yuko(In mind): She's so hot! Maids are just my type too, now's my chance to meet her.

Yuko walks up and the desk.

Yuko: So, yeah. I was thinking you were into cats maybe, how does a movie sound tonight?

Sarari doesn't respond or flinch.

Yuko(In mind): I'M EVEN IGNORED BY GIRLS IN VIRTUAL REALITY!?.....I am such a failure...wait this isn't over.

Yuko(Waves his hand) Hey! I'm talking to you!

She doesn't respond and he rings the bell which causes Sarari to repeat herself.

Sarari(Softly): Greeting! Welcome to House of the Mark, Celestial guild. My name is Sarari one of the many maids that work in this facility. I am acquainted to provide quick and outstanding service to our guests. As you may know House of the Mark has many exciting things to keep you all-

She talks in the background.

Touma: I'm afraid she's only general intelligence just like a good majority of the AI in here.

Yuko backs away and lowers his head.

Rin: It'll be fine, we'll meet more girls along the way I'm sure, guys?

Everyone backs a couple of feet away from him.

Touma(Points at end): My sensitive nose hairs have never smelled a more repulsing smell, up stairs, now! I am sorry to say such harsh words.

Rin(Walking off): Ok, ok geesh, I'm gonna shower then head to bed.

Toki(Walking carefully behind Rin): Yeah, I'll do the same too.

Yuko: So, what's are you two about to do, I wanna go to the arcade.

Akira: But we're in a game already, dummy.

Yuko: What if they have the new...magic-girls-game?

Akira gets jittery and looks away.

Akira: Hmph. I was heading there too anyway, don't get in the way!

She's walk and notices Toki dropped her pillow kitty necklace when she walked off, she picks it up and proceeds to the arcade room with yuko.

Touma: Hmm. What to do? So many options of splendid entertainment, but one choice, a night’s read at the library should suffice.

He walks off.

We go to Rin and Toki, they open the door to the suite and are amazed, the inside resembles a furnished penthouse with galaxy designs and stars on the walls and carpet, they explore the suite, it has 5 bedrooms each with their individual baths.

Toki: Woah, so this is a penthouse in person, it's beautiful. (Shows the outside view out the city which the nice transparent radius zones in the distance.)

Rin: I guess living in the fantasy world has its benefits as well huh; I guess they care somewhat...well I'm gonna shower and head to bed, goodnight Toki.

Toki: Goodnight.

He goes in his room and hops into the shower, he cleans, and gets out of the shower and sends his dirty clothes down a hole where they'll be cleaned. He sits on his bed, puts on his shirt and pants, looks at the view before laying down, but Toki comes by the door.

Toki: Rin, may I come in?

Rin: Uhm, sure.

Toki opens the door and is wearing her night clothes as well.

Rin: Hey, Toki what's u-

Toki tackles him around his chest and they fall down on the bed.

Toki(Holding and laying on his chest): May I sleep here for the night?

Rin: Uh, sure haha.

Toki: The view is nice, isn't it?

Rin: Yeah, it really is, it makes me think.

Toki: Of what?

Rin: Of the time where I said “Look at this view it's timeless, how could anyone know the game is horrifying by looking at the surface.” Now it's real and it's a lot to take in, my mom is probably freaking out I didn't return a single call.

He gets sad.

Toki: I'll always be by your side, Rin. We'll take on this world together, we'll beat this and get out.

Rin: But the damages will be….unrepairable, I can't unsee those striker images and can't help but think that could have been me. Why would Sirius do something so cruel to us...my mom is probably worried sick-tch….

He begins to tear.

Toki hugs him tighter and speaks directly into his ear.

Toki: Rin. I am your gear that helps you spin, you are the wrench that repairs me...together like an ocean we move with the flow; I will always be at your side, never forget that.

Tears run down his face

Rin: Toki…thank you for all of this.

She falls asleep wishing see could have said more, but felt it wasn't the best time.

Rin(In mind): I can rest well knowing I have friends that lean on me, I have to protect you all….I cant lose you.
