"Remind me again, why are we doing this?" IF asks the lilac haired girl
"Because even 1% of the world shares in ASIC hands are 1% too many?"
"Ge-Ge…" Compa says with a tired look
"Come on, i'm pretty sure that the both of you noticed that i can't sit still for long periods of time" Nepgear looks at them, "36 hours is still 36 hours"
"Its significantly faster than however long Kei's request would have been" IF counters
"It's still 36 Hours!" Nepgear whines as she stomps her foot childishly
"Ge-Ge, why don't we go get something to eat after we're done with this quest"
"Sure!" Nepgear chirped
"You guys look like your enjoying yourselves" an new voice speaks up next to them
Even at first glance you can tell that she's a young woman
The woman in question has short red hair that is cut above shoulder length with a silver headband on the top and orange eyes. Her attire consists of a white tank top with a belt-buckle around the hemline under a light blue jacket with white coloring on the inside part of the sleeves, pale yellow lining, and big cuffs.
She also has on a skirt reverting the colors with white outside and blue inside, along with a brown belt matching the black choker around her neck. She has black above the knee socks/stockings with a single gold circle around the top, and blue boots with white, brown, and small amounts of yellow on them. On both hands she has black fingerless gloves.
She also has a weapon case with many stickers decorating it which most likely holds the sword she uses for fighting.
Nepgear blinks at her sudden entrance, "sorry, who are you?" she asks with a tilt of her head
"Ah, where are my manners, im Falcom" she says with a smile, "i'm just a regular everyday adventurer"
"I also have a bad habit of meddling in other people's affairs" she rubs her head with embarrassment as she says that, "mostly people with troubled looks on their faces, but there's an all around lack of people adventuring and doing quests anymore"
"That does explain why there aren't many people in the Guild" IF muses
"Yeah, apparently a large number of them has joined up with the ASIC group because they can make some easy money" Falcom says with a disgusted look on their faces
"It's not all that surprising, ASIC has been destabilising every economy that they've infiltrated into" Nepgear says analytically, "technically all we need to do would be to put an end to ASIC for everything to start going back to normal…"
"Yeah, either way, It's nice to see people doing quests and stuff every now and then" Falcom says, "anyways, i need to go, i was in the middle of running some errands" the woman runs off with a wave, "Bye, maybe we'll meet again!"
The three of them waved to the woman that left
Location: Lastation - Restaurant
"So what are you thinking about Ge-Ge? You've been silent the whole trip back" Compa asks the lilac haired CPU
"Nothing much, just thinking of how to figure out whos been working honestly during these trying times and how i can reward them for their honesty" Nepgear says before taking a bite of her fried rice
"That's, actually a really good idea" IF says after she swallows her bite of her burger, "it'll give honest people an extra incentive to stay honest"
"It'll also persuade the folks that caved under the pressure and started being dishonest to not cave under pressure" Nepgear adds
The trio finished their meal in a comfortable silence
Nepgear yawns after finishing her meal
"You ok Gear?" IF asks her
"Yeah… just… tired" she muttered
The lilac haired girl was swaying before her head drops on to the table with a loud smack
She started to snore softly
Compa quickly paid the bill while IF picked up the lilac haired girl piggy back style before they left
Location: Lastation - Hotel
"I'll be honest Compa, your medicines scare me sometimes" IF says to her friend
Compa just giggles cutely
"So how long would this last?" IF asks
"If im not wrong then Ge-Ge would be awake around noon, day after tomorrow~" Compa says not losing her smile
'Note to self, don't ever get on Compa's bad side' IF thought to herself with a slightly fearful sweatdrop
AN: what?
is that a cliff hanger?
to a time skip?
nah...
or is it?
he wouldn't just skip out on the RED meeting
or would he?
...
i'll never tell~
