Atoli     It's not hard to arrive. Atoli had put out the call for an adventuring party to explore a rare event field and just have a good time. Probably without telling Haseo he should expect a crowd of any kind.

    From the Mac Anu (Delta) Chaos Gate, one simply needed to input the three keywords - HEAVENLY, FORBIDDEN and DAYDREAM, and then hit go. Teleportation to the field only takes a few seconds.

    Of course, calling it a field is probably a bit generous.

    It looks like this might have been a manor once, or some kind of small city. It's... destroyed, but not damaged, per se. More like really, really glitched out. A lot of missing textures and objects, which would make one believe this is in no way a finished work.

    It's like someone built this great, fantastic Japanese-style village area and then an office fire burned most of the files!

    At least there're no monsters.

    Atoli was the first one arrived, of course. But she clearly wasn't expecting this kind of area, because she's fidgeting with her staff a lot and mumbling about ruining the outing and letting everyone down.
Eggman      One would hardly think of the (self-proclaimed) illustrious Dr. Ivo Robotnik when one thinks of adventurers. He's big, he's round, his arms and legs are long and noodly despite what they have to support, the reason 'Eggman' is body positivity for him is immediately obvious...he's really not adventurer material.

     But that's what robot minions are for.

     Eggman has left behind his flying pod today. Instead, he's attempting, relatively, to blend in. Relative being the operative word, of course. The three robots he's brought with them - some kind of hovering orb with orbiting spiked balls and an angry face, a red armored beetle with a single wheel instead of legs, and a large dragonfly-horned fusion with missile launchers under its wings and a stinger at the end of its metal thorax - could almost, maybe, exist within The World, but even so, walking through Mac Anu with them sort of made him stand out. People took pictures. That's what gamers do.

     Doctor Eggman teleports into the field first, stepping out of the gate ahead of his three robotic minions. They fall into place around him, the revbeetle up front, the orbot and the buzzbot flanking him protectively. He strolls up to Atoli and places one hand over his chest, bowing in exaggerated fashion. "Good day, my dear. I am Doctor Ivo Robotnik. Please; call me Doctor Eggman." The reasoning for this should be immediately obvious as he straightens. His moustache bristles slightly as he looks around at the glitches. Out of nowhere, he produces a touchpad shaped like a stylized version of his face and starts typing away at it with his long gloved fingers. "What a fascinating place you've brought us to. Wouldn't you agree?" He glances at the Orbinaut.

     It bobs up and down.

     It's hard to tell if it's intelligent or if it's just programmed to nod at his questions.
Tomoe A pug for content that isn't on her homeworld? Well, Tomoe was there quick only pausing to grab some extra supplies before she heads out. She sees the area and gets on edge for a moment.

The look is clear from the look on her face. Tomoe is wary of this place, her eye dart about for a moment. When nothing comes charging after them?

She relaxes mostly from the looks of it.

"Is this how the field is supposed to be?"

She looks Atoil for a moment her look softens even more now as she sees that Atoli might be upset.

"This is just strange did you find this zone and want to show us something out of the norm? As I presume the World isn't normally like this?"

She seems to be of the mind Atoil just found an odd glitched area she likely thought was cool and really it is.

"The more I think about it this zone does seem neat..."

Then Doctor Ivo Robotnik shows up and she looks him over for a moment, she grabs her smartphone out of her inventory and totally takes a picture of him and his companions.

"All right Doctor Eggman, I'm Tomoe the Iron Lily, though just call me Tomoe."
Sumiko Walking INTO Mac Anu was...well, it wasn't something she was actually expecting.  The World, in many ways, was far more...in depth than the videogames she was used to.  Maybe it was one of those things where history took a turn on in their world vs this one.  Still, the Chaos gate was there, and Mikoto was here to go to a specific place.  

One teleport session later, and with a ring of blue rings, she disappeared from Mac Anu and appeared in the field.  Her eyes looked around, gazing on the strange broken textures, weird glitches, and other anomalies.  Wow, it was a video game, and not just some weird world.  Well, it could be like the matrix.  Oh man, that'd be a trip.

Walking forward, she notices Eggman first, because well...by volume he was the easiest to see, and then Atoli.  "Sup?" she asks both of them, as she looks out towards the zone again.  "Soooo...this happen much, or is this a problem?" she asks, looking towards Atoli.  

"I mean, still pretty cool looking.  Maybe this isn't a video game and we're in /The Matrix/." She wiggles her fingers, "OoooOOooooOOoo."
Lezard Valeth There is a flash of light at the Field, announcing the arrival of someone new to the area. It's... Probably not who most would expect.

Lezard Valeth, the Sorceror of Midgard, steps forward into the unfinished area. "Well well." He adjusts his glasses. "This location doesn't seem to be quite right now, does it?" He observes. He bows to Atoli, a pleasant smile on his face. "It is no matter. It does allow for a fascinating look into the underpinnings of this World, does it not? I am Lezard Valeth, the Sorceror of Midgard. A pleasure to meet you."

He looks to Ivo, smiling to the ovoid man. "A very unusual place in an unusual place... Don't you agree?"
Haseo      'A special event map.'

     That's what Atoli said she found. If it's anything like the Forest of Pain, Haseo's pretty sure he's in for some fat EXP and loot. That said, this is /Atoli/, so the chances of this field being pointless garbage is much more likely.

     Haseo can't exactly back out now though, he's got to maintain some level of being 'friendly' if he wants to keep roping her along with him. He'll just turn whatever junk they find for a profit to try and justify why he isn't out grinding dungeons RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT.

     Inserting the keywords into the Chaos Gate and stepping into the field, he can already tell he was partially right. There doesn't seem to be any mobs. Or kickable barrels. Or treasure chests. Not even a single Chim Chim. But that's probably to be expected. The entire area seems to be incomplete in some fashion. If it's either an unfinished area or some sort of glitch however, he can't really tell, but he can't really leave this place alone in good conscious now.

     Stopping to rub his nose and spit in annoyance for a brief moment, they finally approach the clearly nervous Atoli, placing a single hand on their shoulder to get their attention.

     "Hey. Get a hold of yourself and stop shaking, it's kind of pathetic!"
Bedivere     The sound of humming can be heard in the distance, resolving into the noise of a motorcycle engine at full throttle and shortly also to the sound of a squealing Lucky Animal fleeing at speeds not normally seen by the precious little critters, dodging to and fro to narrowly avoid getting checked by the supernaturally maneuvered bike. Finally there is an awkward BONK noise and the white-armored knight riding his matching bike screeches to a halt victoriously to receive his so-called boon, much like mighty Jacob and that angel he wrestled for three days straight. He glances over at the assembled crowd. "Aha, apologies and greetings! I was doing some preliminary exploration when this little fellow sidetracked me. It doesn't do for a knight to back down from a challenge, you know." He calls, giving them a casual thumbs up and totally failing to identify himself just yet.
Atoli     Atoli snaps to attention as Eggman appears, and nods, trying to shake her mood off. "Oh! You're the nice man from the radio who wanted to know about the Crest Gun!" He is a big man. "Y-Yes! Fascinating! S-Sure." Is the outing not ruined after all? She's glad.

    "N-No, this definitely isn't normal... but I guess there's no harm in looking around! she answers Tomoe, brightly.

    Slightly taken aback by Mikoto, she shakes her head. "No! No, we're definitely in The World. Maybe this area isn't meant to be accessed normally but now we can because of... you know." The World being the actual world.

    She bows to Lezard, entirely exaggerated in an attempt to be polite. "Hi! I'm Atoli, Harvest Cleric."

    Then she whirls around to Haseo, having regained her composure. "Sorry! But come on, let's not stay here! Maybe we'll even find monsters here and you can level up a bit, right?" She beams at Haseo.

    The noise of Bedivere arriving makes Atoli frown, mostly because he punted that poor, helpless animal. "H-Hey, come on, don't pick on the Lucky Animals!" Well, too late.

    Atoli sighs, but then decides to lead on forward. "Alright, let's get going! No one ever got to any cool locales by staying at the Chaos Gate, right?" Yes, she's trying to defuse the fighting by pushing this along.

    Ahead, a number of buildings are a bit more intact than others, in the sense they seem like they might have "contents". Something that looks like a half-built manor, one that's very clearly a Japanese shop, and one that's very clearly a cathedral, though it's ninety degrees off and looks quite aged.

    The sky changes color as you travel - but only as you travel, as if your location was determining its color. It's all over the spectrum. It's a haywire day-night cycle.
Eggman      The bristle of Eggman's moustache becomes slightly more pronounced as he gives a big Eggman Grin. There's something somewhat unsettling about it, but so far, he's been nothing but polite, so maybe it's more because of the robots flanking them than anything...?

     Unless one happens to be looking at the ground. His grin is cast across the shadow. In fact, his shadow is the very symbol of his Eggpad, and it's more than unsettling, because *how is a solid object casting a shadow with holes*?

     "Quite right, my dear. I'm looking forward to seeing that up close as well. If it's half as intriguing as this place then I shall no doubt be thoroughly entertained."

     Tap tap tap tap. His fingers fly across the Eggpad as they walk. Bedivere gets a glance as he careens into place with his motorcycle, a disassembling glance probably more interested in the bike than the knight. Tap tap tap. Beep.

     "Well now, young Haseo," Eggman says at last, "This is your world, yours and your lovely friend's. I say you should take the lead. After all..."

     "You *do* know everything here, don't you?"

     "Tell us which way to go."

     Yeah he's absolutely baiting Haseo. There's a pretty good chance that he only came along to do that thing.
Sumiko Mikoto laughs at Atoli, waving a hand, "Hey chill out, I'm just joking.  Trying to lighten the mood because you were all being gloomy over there," she explains, before nodding towards Eggman and Lezard.  It would do more to investigate and maybe learn something.  However, Haseo earns himself a side eye.  

She doesn't say much to him, because her attention is drawn to Bedivere on a bike, which immediately gains her attention.  That moment where her heart skips a beat, where ...he abuses an animal in her sight.

You know that field of red and darkness that surrounds a dark knight, it is pretty much palpable right now.  She walks right over to him and attempts to slap the very pretty night across the face.  "How dare you hurt an innocent animal like that!  You do not abuse animals like that, it is extremely horrible."

"I swear, what is it with people and treating animals like this!  Awful!  Horrible!  Apologize to the critter right now!  You should be ashamed."
Tomoe Oh Look Lezard? It's Lezard, a man who scares the hell out of her but he doesn't generally go off without cause. So long as she doesn't start anything with him it should be good right? "Good day Lezard."

She also takes a moment to look over Mikoto for a moment and tilts her head for a moment at Mikoto comment.

"I have lived that so it's not that far fetched."

She notes to her and then grins a bit.

"We're g0oing to have to find out what's going on, right?"

She seems keen to work with Atoli's idea and then Bedivere arrives,

Welcome aboard."

She notes before she'll turn to head towards the building that seems intact more so than the rest and she'll keep going.

"An error has occurred in reality.exe."

Its comment commentary on the day-night cycle going just out of wack and with that she's going to make head to start sleeping about the buildings. She's going to look for anything that's intact or might interact with them.
Lezard Valeth Lezard doesn't interject intensively, seemingly more intrigued by the area around him than the people and animals within it. He walks over to a wall, carefully dragging his fingers across it as he mutter something under his breath. "Mmm..." Tomoe addresses him, and he glances over, as if just noticing her for the first time. "Oh. Hello Tomoe. Pleasant day, is it not?" He smiles to her, again just being very... polite. And noncombative. Weird.

He turns away and walks along with the others, having produced his own tome and is letting it page away before him while he observes the sky.

"It looks like even the local temporal state is unstable." He comments to Eggman. "This place certainly seems to be some kind of chaotic land that might have once been a playground of the gods." He chuckles lightly at that, clearly indicating that he might be a little facetious about the last.
Bedivere     Luckily for Bedivere his helmet will protect him. Unluckily for Bedivere, there seems to have been a miscommunication somewhere. There's definitely an air of confused ang apologetic tone to his voice as he responds. "Ah- Milady! Forgive me, but the animal directly challenged me to a race. He can talk, even! Please, observe!" He gestures to the animal. "Are you well and unharmed?"

    The animal straightens up from having been flattened with a glint in its eye. "That was amazing~! Here's a gesture of my goodwill." And It shines with an array of magical orbs that then circle Bedivere before fading away, leaving a little buff icon hovering somewhere above. Improved movement speed? Just what a man on a motorcycle didn't need. What's more, the animal smokebombs right out of existence.

    ". . . Well then." Bedivere says, more confusion but also kind of a frowny sound to his voice.
Eggman      "Gods are overrated," Eggman says idly to Lezard as he types away, "Most of them get sealed away by ordinary people. Imagine what a genius could do with them. Far more useful than letting them run around unrestrained and without purpose."
Sumiko "Oh," Mikoto says, now a bit of a deep shade of red because she was uh...pretty mad and now very embarrassed.  She turns away and coughs lightly, trying to save some face, before she turns back and bows.  

"My apologies for the miss communication," She says and hurries off towards...anywhere else.
Lezard Valeth "Oh, I very much concur." Lezard replies as he works. "Those who are not sealed away tend to be consumed by their worshippers, or cancers upon the land, blighting everything around them in their arrogance. Still, there is much that can be learned from the experience, do you not agree?"
Haseo      Haseo plays along with Atoli for now. This is probably a /bad idea/, but as he keeps telling himself, pretending to be nice every now and then can get you what you want. And he does want a healer. They're always pretty useful.

     Opting to just tune out literally everyone else as much as he can and not even bothering to take note of Bedivere outside of a look and a grunt, Haseo follows behind Atoli once she tries to get the party moving, his arms tightly folded against his chest as if he's about to pout or something.

     The area gets weirder. And it's beginning to bug Haseo. It's almost unsettling how incomplete this area is. Why even leave it in the game where players could access it at this point? He doesn't really have time to ponder this as Eggman 'eggs' Haseo on, which snaps him out of thought.

     "Now you're just stretching the meaning of what I said, you damn Egghead! But fine, you want me to lead? I'll lead alright."

     Haseo unfurls his arms as he says this as he points to the Cathedral, making his way there and motioning for others who haven't to do the same.

"Well, hurry up. I don't have all day to wait."
Atoli     People elect to visit the Cathedral first, guided by Haseo.

    Along the way, Atoli looks at Lezard. "It's said the gods haven't influenced this world in a long time, but maybe this field is meant to represent the war between gods and man?" Maybe. Or it's just an office fire issue. It's probably the office fire thing.

    Then to Bedivere and his momentary opposition: "Mm, that's right. Lucky Animals usually thank you for kicking them, it's like a challenge. But, I think it's a shame. They're all really cute to look at!" And as demonstrated, they leave once kicked.

    Atoli likes pretty things, OK?

    More than buffs.

    The cathedral is reached without incident. It's a bit awkward to enter, given the door is a few meters up into the air, what with the building being ninety degrees tilted. Surely someone or multiple someones have the means to help people in!

    Of course it makes STANDING in the cathedral just as much of an issue. There's NOTHING inside. Well... not nothing.

    There's one thing.

    Floating in the air, tilted with the rest of the building, is the statue of a little girl, with many chains wrapped around her connected to the walls. Large pieces of the statue are missing, and its height suggests... well, Haseo can put it together.

    This is the inside of the Hulle Granz Cathedral. It's just empty, aside from the old glitched statue. From its position, it would have been on the altar.

    There are strands of data floating in the air, multicolored, glitchy characters that travel in chains like nonsensical sentences. They keep changing. It's eerie and beautiful, as Atoli immediatly points out.

    But maybe there's more to it than a pretty visual effect?
Eggman      Haseo leads them into the cathedral. This is fine. Eggman is flanked by his minions. He is perfectly content in his safety. The banter of people around him (who are not Lezard Valeth, with whom he is currently in discussion) is mostly lost on him not because he's not listening but because he's too busy examining. The floating data streams get him to raise the Eggpad and snap photographs. The statue, too, and its chains. After a moment, Eggman considers.

     "A cathedral is for a god, after all," he says to the air, then, "Orbinaut, go remove those chains. Let's see what sort of god thanks us for the assistance, shall we?"

     Orbinaut bobs in the air and then takes off to use its spinny bomb balls to blow open the chains.
Bedivere     Bedivere looks after the retreating girl with a bit of dejection. And Atoli's obvious disapproval How did he manage to get off to such a terrible start? He raps his knuckle against the side of his helmet, reminding himself not to get caught up in every little thing. He catches up with the power of MOTORCYCLES WITH HASTE to the main group, offering a piggyback up for anyone who's lacking an easy means of ingress, before backing up for a runway, kicking off the retaining wall of the path and launching up into the cathedral, coming to a perfect stop on, uh, nothing. "That sounds like a questionable decision," he says, eyeing the robodoktor warily. He's not really sure what's going on with most of the situation here but waking a chained glitchgod seems like it belongs in a textbook labelled "Bad Ideas For Dummies".
Sumiko Sometime later, when Mikoto has calmed down and isn't completely utterly embarrassed she comes upon the cathedral with the rest of the party.  It was...weird, but also haunting.  There was a bittersweet air to the place.  She closes her eyes for a moment.  She sees a man's face, an older man...there is a shift in perspective until the image pans out to the same man's smile looking down at a knife in his chest by his own hands.

Mikoto's eyes snap open.  

The chains are a sign of something she can immediately agress at.  She's not happy.  There is a transformation sequence, her body covered by strange incandescent light as the clothes she was waring disappear.  Jade spikes shoot up to surround her, before covering her body and bursting into green particles into various pieces of her magical girl outfit.  

Her hand stretches out, as another piece of Jade shoots out of the ground and into her hand before it shatters into a jade sword.  She dashes at the statue, aiming to aid in slicing the chains apart.
Haseo      Haseo's getting a really bad feeling about this. Fields don't lead into other fields without a Tri-Edge sign, and there were none of those around as far as he could tell. Does Yata know about this place? Do any of the Admins know about this place? How the hell does some random Guild Leader in charge of a bunch of pacifists know about this place? Something just isn't adding up, and that statue is giving him a foreboding feeling even though he's never seen it in his life.

     He's so lost in thought that he doesn't notice Eggman being Eggman and sending one of his minions to free the statue, and by the time he does the most he can do is weakly run with an outstretched arm.

     "Wait a minute! Don't do anything stupid!"

     But it was too late, Eggman is already doing the stupid.
Atoli     The chains rattle when prodded. They're not hard to remove. An angry magical girl even slices them right apart. But nothing happens to the statue. Instead, the floating data becomes coherent. Sentences flowing freely across the room - it's a bit hard to piece them together, but with some work...

    AURORA
    THE LAST OF THE GODS TO BELIEVE IN HUMANS.
    BUT THE HUMANS USED HER TO KILL THE OTHER GODS.

    It seems to be game lore. What you might expect to see if you examined the statue, but unbound from its textbox.

    Until it cycles to different words.

    AURORA.
    BORN FROM THE WORLD. BORN FROM ITS PEOPLE.
    SHE LEFT THE WORLD'S FATE TO ITS PEOPLE, IN THE END.
    WHEN HUMANS TRIED TO USE THE EIGHT CURSES TO BRING HER BACK, RUIN AND DESPAIR BEFELL THEM AND THEIR WORLD.

    The statue seems sad, now that you look at it without the chains. Before it looked like it was a prisoner, but now it looks somber and sorrowful.

    It seems there's nothing else here. Maybe this is a chunk of the world lore that didn't make it in?
Sumiko The chains break, and Mikoto breathes a bit easier.  Her hands clench at her side for a moment, tightening around the hilt of the sword before turning around to look at it.  She just tries to let the thoughts go, for now, looking and reading both transcriptions.  

This was pretty weird, and when people mention backstory, she shrugs.  The name of the game was 'The World' but was it the backstory, or something else?  She doesn't really know, not enough context of the situation.  

She places a hand on the statue to test its realness.
Tomoe Tomoe is expecting something to come out and attack them, nope she was utterly wrong about this and has some serious egg on her phase she looks very embarrassed and turns off her tank stance now, she does, however, pull out her camera again and starts snapping pictures of the text and when they shift. It could be useful later, once she's sure they have stopped shifting she'll put the camera away and she still looks embarrassed.

"I guess I'm getting paranoid...in my old age."
Bedivere     Bedivere's hand is on a pike that materialized into it from motes of golden light. It's the sort of thing that smacks of ensuing battle. . . only for there to instead be motes of story floating around. He hrms, planting his pike across his lap. "Well, this is an amenable if strange outcome. If this. . . World is real, then presumably for all intents and purposes everything that it is and does is also real, no? This cannot be taken but so lightly." thumb and forefinger rest against the chin of his helmet. "Forgive me for being totally ignorant of your world and its customs, but I take from your skipping over it that this Aurora is known to you? Could she be. . . this statue?"
Haseo      "Just a bunch of discarded lore. Tch. What a waste."

     Haseo doesn't seem too embarrassed by his outburst early, rather he just kind of ignores he did it.

With that whole thing out of the way and nobody currently in a coma, he removes a cellphone from somewhere behind him, raising the device up towards the statue as he uses its built in camera to take a picture of it for later. He might not know what it is, but that Bastard Yata might.
Eggman      "Ridiculous," Eggman says, waving his hand over his shoulder as everyone freaks out over the statue being unchained, "As if any god that came forth from a video game could possibly challenge the might of Doctor Eggman, let alone seven Elites. Anything programmed by a game almost assuredly exists to be beaten, after all."

     Eggman's Eggpad snaps a few pictures as he touches the statue's side. "However..."

     "I wonder if this statue might hold some other secrets."

     "Buzz Bomber! Go back to the Warp Gate and collect some of my Constructors. We'll take the statue and isolate whatever code might be hidden within it."

     The dragonfly goes shooting out of the cathedral. Eggman is already inspecting the missing parts of the statue with his Eggpad. "I wonder if filling in these broken gaps would awaken further bits of intelligence..."
Atoli     The statue is real, but getting this close to it lets Mikoto tell that it's completely hollow. The exterior is proper stone, at least.

    Eggman can further tell that it's less that it's hollow and more that whatever code was meant to detail the inside of the statue is gone. And not hidden. Gone. A few strings are left, badly mangled and incomplete, about as useful as taking any program and randomly deleting nine tenths of the characters. It was pretty hefty, though, judging by the blanks.

    Atoli answers a question, at least. She looks at Bedivere and nods. "Mhm, there's no official art for Aurora, but a lot of players say she looked like a young girl in a white dress. Some people who played the previous version of the game say there was a statue of her in the cathedral back then."

    Didn't Shino say that to Haseo, too?
    > Maybe she just lost interest. Lost hope for this world. <

    Nothing stops anyone from just hauling off with the statue. It's a bit of a glitchy mess and awkward to keep a solid grip on, but perfectly transportable.

    And to think there's two more places that look explorable here!

    But it'll have to wait, beause the Field seems to be growing unstable. That is to say, everything is starting to glitchily distort.

    The sky has been replaced by a giant textbox reading: "MAINTENANCE IS IN PROGRESS."

    It's probably not actually maintenance, it just happens that's the art asset directly behind the sky. The sky just broke and it's gone.
Eggman      Eggman's Constructors are effectively large walking robots with huge arms and backpacks full of girders. A pair of them come stomping into the cathedral to, indeed, just heft up the statue, just in time for MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS to pop up. The Buzz Bomber comes along with them. Evidently they were waiting just outside the warp gate.

     That must've looked very very interesting in Mac Anu, considering these things are like ten feet tall gorilla/bulldozer hybrids.

     Eggman completely ignores this extremely threatening Maintenance Sky in favor of manually directing his Egg Constructors to carry the statue out without breaking it. Missing code? Hah! He'll fill it with his own code, then, and make some kind of Egg Goddess out of it! Who knows! He's a genius, he'll figure it out eventually.
Sumiko "Huh...hollow?" Mikoto says as she hefts the sword over one shoulder.  After a little bit, she shrugs, walking towards the door.  Well, nothing else here, and Eggman is stealing the statue.  She doesn't care about the statue, it's a glitchy thing with apparently nothing inside.  

Looking up at the sky, she frowns, "Huh...I didn't know it was supposed to be sunny with a chance of Maintenance."
Bedivere     Bedivere ultimately was not needed, but gazing up at the Maintenance Sky warily, he can't shake the feeling that something uncomfortable is afoot. Eggman's departure with the statue is something he doesn't really have a reason to contest, not knowing the fellow. "Thank you for the insight, miss. I suppose we should keep our eyes peeled for this girl in a white dress." Yeahhh Bedivere doesn't need to know who you are to want to help out, nor does he necessarily feel the reverse is necessary.

    A pause, a beat. "I confess I am not terribly aware of modern conveniences, but that sky is most unsettling, no? Wouldn't there be a better, less alarming means of communicating that?" No need to answer, it's just a rhetorical point.
Haseo      "Goddess in a white dress, huh? Stop believing in stupid idle rumors like that, those piss me off."

     He says he's pissed, but there really isn't the usual bite in his voice when he says it. Almost like he doesn't even really mean it. He's just about to leave the Cathedral without an explanation when the Area basically justifies him leaving for him.

"Maintenance? Jeeze. What a dumpster area."
Tomoe Tomoe plans to share her photos with Atoil and Haseo but for now, she looks over to Bedivere for a moment as the error comes up Tomoe looks up for a moment pausing.

"We might need to pull out of here from the looks of it. I rather not get caught up in some maintenance system."

She notes and she pauses at Eggman, maybe they can put it to use? For now, she's going to be moving to leave.

"We can come back later right?"

She shoots Haseo a look before she starts to head out.
