The Forgotten Zodiac

Rush smiled as well, patting Minori on the back. "Alright, I have to go tell the others...not that it really matters, I just don't like keeping things from them. Especially since the Library fiasco..."

Minori nodded. "And I need to... yes, do something, something important that I will recall shortly," he nodded again.

"What is it?" Rush blinked a bit, frowning slightly. "Maybe I can help you remember. Was it inside the palace or outside?"

"Inside it," he said, thinking hard.

Rush blinked, then thought as well. "Can you think of who it involves? Verolen and the others, or Reetah and Jarod, or Apathy and Aton?"

"Apathy," he said. He blinked, then straightened up. "Oh! Apathy..." he said, nodding and hurrying off. He turned at the door, looking back at Rush, Verolen, and Arachne. "You uh, don't tell anyone that Apathy's going to have a kid,' he said.

"...Right." Rush blinked. He hadn't been planning on telling anyone, anyways. "Alright, you two, let's get back to the infirmary. The others are waiting on us. Oh yeah, and why was Quay there?"

"Can't get him back." Verolen grumbled at the mention of that troublemaker. "Something about not being able to transport people the wrong way down a channel or something."

((Did you get the notice that you're due for a plot twist? 'Cuz it's your turn. Rush's was massive, so mayhaps you get two. :T))

(YAY MY TURN!)

(I forgot what I was going to do with it....)

Minori hurried down the hall to go find the others. He'd seen Eve wandering around somewhere around here with Gabe and Manny, and Bermuda, L'arc, and the others were probably still in the infirmary...

((xDD Yes. Your turn. Do try to remember~))

Manny was back in the infirmary with the others, sleeping. Or, pretending to sleep. He never actually needed sleep, he just liked to do it sometimes. Arachne was, of course, looking for Gabe, now that the business with Rush was over with. Sylas was in the infirmary, as now was Rush and Verolen, as well.

Aries was, naturally, still stuck in the crown that Eva was carrying around.

Minori came into the infirmary, looking around. Well, most of them were in here. "Uh..." he started.

Bermuda looked up. "Oh, afternoon, Minori," he said, addressing the King.

Eve was sitting in the hall, having a pleasent chat with Aries. "...and so now, Quay is here as well," she said.

Sylas raised a hand in greeting. At least he was feeling better, now that the Ether shards weren't sapping off high-strung emotion and life force. He wasn't smiling, though; before Minori had shown up, he had been thinking about why the Ether shards would do just that.

'Is he?' Aries frowned, not that Eve could tell. 'Poor kid. And poor Israel! That must be a nightmare. Hopefully Arachne can control herself this time...'

"I, um, came back to tell you something. It was... um.... Oh! To ask that you don't tell anyone that Apathy and Aton are together," he said. "I, um, It would be bad if that got out."

"I know, right? I'm sure things will be fine, though," Eve said.

Sylas blinked. He hadn't been planning to say much, anyways. "Who would we tell, anyways? I'm pretty sure the Phantom already knows...not that we'd tell him, in the first place." Sylas shrugged, smiling a bit.

'Hm, you sound pretty certain of yourself. I dunno, things tend to be weird a lot of the time. We're traveling with three princes, are friends with a king, are enemies with another king and a pack of witches also probably want us dead...yeah. Things happen pretty quickly around here.' Aries sighed.

Minori nodded. "I mean, just don't tell any other Manakete," he said. "It would cause a lot of... complications," he nodded. "And don't tell anyone about Rush, either," he said. "I'd like to keep civil affairs in order, here, at least until the World War is over..." he said.

Bermuda nodded. "I understand that," he said. "We won't say anything about it."

((I know! Let's get Aries out of the crown now! Then I want my plot twist.))

Eve nodded. "I can tell," she said. "Israel seems to be alright, though. And Quay is off exploring, hopefully he won't run into Arachne at all."

((xDD Okay, fine. The Phantom is going to take Manny again, anyone you want him to grab as well?))

"We understand," Sylas nodded quickly, smiling a bit.

'I should hope not. That could be bad for the kid...' Aries sighed.

((Let him take... Gabe.))

Minori looked a little relieved. "Oh, thank you," he said. "Good, then. That was all," he said.

"Yeah," Eve agreed.

"Oh, alright then." Sylas nodded, smiling still.

"Where did Manny go?" Verolen sat up suddenly, blinking.

"Probably to find Eve or Gabe," Rush shrugged. "They were playing hide and seek last I checked, but Manny was sleeping earlier...should we go look for him?"

Manny was wandering the halls, looking around curiously. Where was Eve, anyways?

Gabe was wandering about as well. His fist was crammed into his mouth, something that had taken him a long time to accomplish, and he wanted to show someone.

Manny blinked, seeing Gabe enter the hallway he was in. "Oh, Gabe, have you seen Eve?"

Gabe shook his head. Then, he pointed to his mouth, making a few excited squeaks.
