Hyperdimension Neptunia - A Time Soldier's Final Mission.

Chapter 5 - Discussion II, Neptune and the Club

By Shadicgon and Archaeologist of Humanity

Purple and Molly were chatting as they walked towards where the place would be. "They can be killed...but...a lot of prep time would be needed for it."

Molly nodded her brown haired head in agreement, "This is very true. I remember... Just about - Having to be the one to be "chosen" to bring down something called Necrum-Dracus.. The god of life and death? I don't know if you were around at that time, or if Gamindustri was, but it was a MASSIVE shift." She shook her head. "My team struggled for a LONG time to bring him down... Eventually I brought him down in the final battle of that war..."

She shudders. "Never again."

Purple had concern on her face. "..." Few more seconds went past, "...Are you fine?"

Molly nods. "Just a bit of PTSD, nothing I can't handle."
She offers a reassuring if a bit uneasy, smile.

TSD... Purple has never dealt with it before, mostly cause of her bright personality, but out of it, she could have an idea of what it is and how would be a good way deal with it.

Molly surely hasn't been doing it like that, since most say a pet helps, drinks make it worse.

Purple smiled. "Come on-"

She grabbed Molly's hand and tried to pull her.

"We don't wanna be late for the party, do we?"

Maybe with her company, she'll be able to help her out? Maybe? Purple wasn't sure but... Maybe she could make the difference Molly so desparetly needed?

Molly yelped and offered a smile. "You have... You have quite the grip don'tcha?"

Purple smiled wider. "Yep, and a really flexible body! Only Guild member who can use swords with her feet and fight as good as someone does with their hands!"

She actually tried to repeat what she saw on that show of wars throughout a long far away galaxy, where this one evil general could fight with its feet, and in the end she turned out to be able to do it.

It actually looked less ridiculous than it sounds like.

Molly ended up in a fit of giggles as she felt the wind pick up, almost tickling her hair.

"I... I've forgotten what it's like to be happy... "

Molly shook her head and her eyes started to almost glow with a hidden glint, not like a CPU processors eyes but more like... Like she had an internal power source.

Of course, Purple didn't notice it and kept dragging her until they both made it to the place.

The Club was to the right of the Guild and was a fairly big one - It had the words: Moonlight Sonata - Written in Purple and White neon writing with some traces of Gold... Which could be mistaken for yellow.

"Ahhhhh! It's YOU!"

Molly rolls her eyes. "Not again..." She sounded irritated.

Purple turns to the direction of the voice.

It was none other than the CPU of Planeptune - Neptune was pointing at Molly and then she notices Purple. "Well... This is awkward..."

Molly growls. Seemingly irritated. "Yet ANOTHER goddess who should've been..." Her words lingered in the air.

Purple's eyes widened. Someone who looked like her! "Wow...this is my first time meeting you, Lady Purple Heart!"

Neptune put a hand behind her head. "You, eh, really do look a lot like me...ehm, are you me from another dimension?"

Molly whispers something under her breath, that she didn't want Neptune to hear.

"That particular person should've been drowned at birth..."

While Purple wanted to question Molly's rudeness, she decided to ignore it for now.

Purple shook her head. "Nope, my name is Purple and I am a Guild Member!"

Neptune hummed, "I see, but seriously, you look a lot like me..."

Molly tilted her head at Neptune, "You mean ,besides, those cosplayers by the cafe's?"

Neptune nodded. "Yes, but, she looks a lot more like me than them!"

Purple seemed to nod also. "Yeah, they even confuse me for you, though, it's not bad when they offer me some pudding..." She trailed off.

Neptune blinked. "You like pudding as well?!"

Purple nodded with some sparkly eyes. "I love pudding!"

Molly smirks and reaches into her pocket. "I hope they're not hot..."

Neptune gave her her usual goofy smile.

"Seriously, you remind me of...a kid I wish I really never met, the kid made me lose over 9 months of my life..."

Purple put a finger to her lip. "That's funny, you remind me of the mother I never met-" She trailed off before saying, "Pa said she had to go fight in the Console War as a leader of sorts and rather than coming back stayed here with all the things she earned, including a home in the Basilicom!"

Neptune blinked. "...Wow...ain't that Hey, what's your father's name?" Neptune asked sweating and nervous.

Molly smirked, finding something that the almighty CPU was seemingly afraid of. "Something up?"

Neptune shook her head. "Nope, nothing at all!"

Molly rolls her eyes. "Sure..."

Purple blinked. "Pops was named Momus, why?"

Neptune felt a cold bead of sweat form on the back of her head. "Oh...wow...ain't that a " She coughed.

Nepgear comes out from the guild and looks in their direction, blinking and rubbing her eyes.

"Oh goodness... there's two of them now!"

Neptune backed towards her sister. "Nepgear, let's go back to the Basilicom...I just remembered Histoire asked me to do some work today!"

Nepgear blankly stared at her sister. "But you NEVER work..."

Neptune smiled widely. "I'll buy you robot parts if you don't question me, today!"

Nepgear's eyes lit up in moments, racing up to Neptune, literally picking her up and dashing towards the Basilicom in a shot.

Purple just stared after the Planeptune sisters. "..."

"Ain't she a nice person, she even works at these hours!"

Molly coughs. "There's probably more to it... then that." She then pulls out a pudding. "Damn, I thought I had two of these...Anyway, here-" She hands it to Purple as she heads into the "Moonlight Sonata".

Purple blinked. "Why don't we split it between the two of us?"

"That way we can both enjoy it!"

Molly looks behind herself for but a moment. "I bought that for Purple Heart, just think yourself lucky she got carried away."

Molly heads into the club and almost immediately vanishes amongst the sea of people on the inside.

Purple strambled forwards. "W-Wait for me!"

Purple went into the club and got herself into the sea of people and tried to reach her friend... Who she had no idea where she was. Naturally, there were too many, so she did the only thing she could come up with.

Purple whispers to herself quietly. "Sky...Jump-"

Summoning a Platform similar to the ones the CPU use, she raised into the air and began to look for Molly.

Of course, people at the club were mostly ignoring her as they were busy in their own business... Mostly getting drunk and/or dancing.

Molly was... For all tense and purposes, sitting in a seat by the bar. Having just got her drink she was waiting for Purple to get to her.

Molly whistled. "So many people... And..." She looked up and spotted Purple floating down, having spotted her. "...really?"

Purple descends to her level and looks at her.

Purple analysed Molly and her drink.

She snatches the drink and begins to smell it.

Molly growls. "I didn't say I was going to drink a lot, I said I was going to have 'one'."

The drink smells like lemonade.

"I didn't really think I'd have an overprotective, mother, on my case..."

Purple returns her the glass.

"Sorry, I'm a bit paranoid from time to time"

Purple looked to the bartender.

"Hey, bartender, could you get me one like hers, please~?"

Bartender nods his head. "Sure thing." He rustles up a lemonade with a splash of, something else, but thing is - It doesn't taste like anything other than lemonade... Until you drink it - Then the taste burns the back of your throat. IE: It was vodka mixed in with Lemonade.

Molly takes a drink of her glass of "lemonade". "You can be paranoid. That's fine, but snatching glasses? You earn enemies that way, love." She winks at her.

Purple nodded. "Sorry for that, really, my body moved on its own, me swears."

She took the lemonade without having really seen how it was made...Which would be her downfall in a way.

Molly just watched as Purple drank it...Curious as to see what would happen.
