Ares nodded as everyone got the last of their things, giving the thumbs up as the Matrix was fully integrated with the Construct. They exited out of a small bar that they had designated as their entrance and exit, the barkeep an actual Red Pill himself who mended an all access hub to and fro this world. Pushing the side doors open, they headed out to the small metal sliding door beside the building, opening it to reveal an entire hidden garage complex.

Xiro headed for the driver's seat, taking a quick breath. He hated driving this thing, to be honest. Glytch was usually the one who drove this thing, and was a thousand times better than he at it. Even if the car was simply reloaded at the first sign of wear and tear, he would more than likely get a major scolding from Ares, who considered this thing to be his own child. Opening the door and sliding in, he flipped the switch as the 3 other doors, all suicide doors, slowly slid open to let the passengers in. As he started the car (And flipped the switch to shut the doors as soon as everyone was seated) Xiro slowly pulled out of the alley and headed for the traffic of main street, finally getting into a good lane with minimal traffic. Loosening up, he drove in utter silence the rest of the way, finally turning on the radio to some random station about 5 minutes before they reached their location. Parking in a small lot behind a bunch of run down apartments, everyone exited, Ares in the lead, walking silently towards the buildings. As they entered the area, the little memories began to trickle back about the last time he had been there, as a child. He didn't remember a word of what she had spoken, it had been more like a baptism and acceptance, the actual prophecy over him had been told to his surrogate father at the time (Who had, by irony's sake, been Ares) and was never repeated to him. This time though, he'd be able to hear the prophecy with his own ears.

They approached the 13th floor of the apartment complex, and as they walked Xiro felt the strange feeling like something had been spoken of here before. The large, dusty building seemed so familiar, so much like something was on the tip of the tongue. He ignored it as he pressed inwards, finally reaching a large wooden door to an apartment. They didn't even knock as a young woman opened the door, smiling as she ushered them in. Children sat on the ground, with large silver spoons in their hands, some bending them, one little girl actually raising it above her head without any hands and making the spoon burst into flames, then freeze with blue ice crystals forming from it. It was a mystery why she hadn't been unplugged already. The group was seated on the couch as one by one, they were called into the kitchen, a sign hanging in Latin over the door frame which simply read "nosce te ipsum". Know Thyself. The first to be called was of all people, Cairo, a young woman beckoning him to come from the beads and into the room.

Xiro stretched out on the couch as he put a finger to the receiver at his ear. There wasn't even a dial tone. Apparently, the service had already gone dead from the proximity to the one. Sighing, he closed his eyes as he crossed his arms, nodding his head down.


(Alright, Ravynzyon will take control of the Oracle. So Ark, message her with what you have for a question, I'm sure she can type up the oracle's actions and words for you to just add into your post. But first, Ravy gets to talk to herself for a bit! XD )
