Sure thing. Just give me a name and a approximate location of where you want it.
I guess I should remove the dating system to avoid confusion, but character name + location headers would be helpful. We'll have to do timeskips once enough happens to keep things moving.

Melvin and Deimos nearly ran each other over, and Melvin is lying to Deimos saying that they should go to Izumo for help. Lumen could run into them at the outskirts there.

Also made a basic map of Glazend here, which I will be putting on the first OOC post and updating as more locations as added. As you can see, Izumo is WAAAAY south, so we won't be reaching Boreas for a long while. If you guys have any locations you wish to add, please let me know and I'll make the changes ASAP.
Space outside UMMA Vessel Tanngrisnir

Kilphy continued following Kaguya, hoping to guide her inside as soon as possible. She didn't want to loiter for too long lest the oxygen supply in her suit ran out. She also kept her attention focused on the monitors bleeping on the visor around her face. So far everything looked normal - in as far as a sci-fi magical girl, a Japanese maiden and a hot-blooded superhero flying around empty space could be considered 'normal' - but she always wanted to remain vigilant for any of her rival's enemy drones. Sheol had a habit of sending robots everywhere to keep an eye on the MMPF's movements and activities, so Kilphy needed to get rid of any she saw to ensure some semblance of privacy for herself and her new friends in UMMA.

She decided to circle underneath Tanngrisnir where the mounted cameras' vision couldn't reach. Kilphy didn't see much else beyond several small meteorites. To the naked eye, they looked like ordinary rocks. To her scanners though, something was wrong. They caught the faint glint of a red LED blinked from one of the meteorites. That was enough to alarm her.

If she wasn't in deep space, Kilphy would have gladly used some of her fancy spells to toast the fake meteorites into cinders. As this environment wasn't conducive to using fire magic, she had to reach behind her back and extract a white-and-pink boomerang from a small sheath. The weapon was wirelessly connected to her suit's internal systems, so after she chucked the boomerang at the meteorites, she slid open a small keyboard on her left gauntlet and keyed in some numbers to remotely control it. The flying tool slashed through the rock, slicing it in half and revealing its robotic insides before exploding.

The other meteorites suddenly abandoned their disguises, the fake rock popping off the drones and exposing a series of laser eyes that suddenly shot lethal red beams at Kilphy.

"Eeek!" she squealed, deftly ducking beneath the lasers. She had to keep dodging around and control her boomerang, all while calling communications and reporting, "Nelke Neko to Tanngrisnir, come in! We're under assault from the hull! Requesting backup!"
"Thanks," Lin said, putting her charm on. Hez was still so distant that Lin needed to put hers on for her. After getting ready, Lin said, "How about you lead the way? We haven't been in your zone before, so it'll be easy for us to get lost."
"Hey, watch where you're going, lady!" Melvin angrily barked at Deimos, sauntering out of the cart and approaching the half-elf on her horse, his alien black eyes slanted with annoyance. "What the hell were you doing standing in the middle of the road like that? It might be midnight, but there's still traffic to watch out for!"

"Dude, chill out," his friend implored. "We just barely missed each other. As long as no one's hurt, there's no point in getting so angry."

"If she does that again, it won't be my problem if she gets killed!"

Melvin huffed angrily, then glanced back at the rising smoke from the temple he just laid ablaze. Noticing that Deimos was looking in that general direction as well, he realized that he needed to make a quick cover story. If he didn't, he was afraid that she would suspect them of being arsonists, especially since they were leaving the area in such a hurry.

Damn bimbo! Why did she have to pop out at the worst possible time!? the dark elf angrily thought as he put his improvisational skills to work. Aloud, he exclaimed, "Crap! I don't have time to be screwing around like this! I need to get to Izumo to find help! Get out of the way, woman! I'm in a hurry!"

Melvin and his crew scurried back aboard the cart, and their horse whinnied as the horseman commanded it to move.
"I guess that shouldn't surprise me - a lot of Oneiros try to be independent loners at first," Lin smirked. "Once the reality of their situation sinks in, they change their minds. It just took a lot longer for you."

"i don't want her to get hurt because of me. and she looks like she needs rest."


"You're right," Lin agreed, "but she wanted to come along. I told her she could accompany me as long as I handle any purifying tonight; she's to be nothing more than a scout. I certainly won't let her do any purifying after what happened last night. Hez is probably recovering from some mental cross-contamination, but she should be back to normal once we get moving."

She clutched her friend's hand and said to Alice, "It doesn't look like anyone else is around, so the three of us should be enough. Shall we get going then?"
I waited a week for Frokane to reply with Miles, so I threw in a quick post for Kory and Miles. They can't enter the temple without permission, so I'm having them watch the outside until Zoey & Co. come out.
Kory and Miles reached the outskirts of the Temple of Martel, but she stopped him.

"Hold on. This is the temple all right, but we need paperwork, the church's permission, or the Chosen's consent to enter during the oracle," Kory explained. "I don't have any of that, and I doubt you do as well."

The scarred fighter looked around at the raised plains to the south and the vast ocean to the north. It was a very narrow stretch of land from Iselia to the temple. If anyone wanted to invade the small church, they would have to go through this stretch - there was no other way around unless they knew how to fly.

"All right. I don't know what you're planning on doing, but I'm going to volunteer as a lookout until the oracle is done. If the Desians want to try any funny stuff to the Chosen, their options for invading the temple are extremely limited. They have to come this way, and it'll be impossible for any lookouts to miss them. I'll pound them or any other assailants into a worthless pulp before they know what hits them," Kory declared to Miles, sitting in the grass to rest her feet.
"A zone not having an artifact? That's impossible," Lin shook her head. "Every zone has an object that is important to their respective dreamer. Think of them as a binder keeping each person's identity intact, and then zones are subconsciously constructed around it. Since my monitors have shown me that you've been comatose for many years, I have no doubt that you've been struggling to find your artifact. There aren't too many negative emotions emanating from the Wonderful Horror, but it could either be that you live a satisfied life that wouldn't cause negative emotions, or your memories are suppressed from some kind of trauma. If the latter is true, it might actually be risky to look for your artifact."

The one-eyed girl scratched her head and chuckled. "Sorry for getting all science-y on you there. It's your zone, so it's up to you. If you're having trouble looking for your artifact, why haven't you come to us for help yet? I'm a seasoned pro at this, and Hez has impeccable searching skills - she's like a walking dowsing rod."

Lin glanced down at Hez, but then frowned. The silent girl looked more detached than usual, her grey eyes glassed over with vacant disinterest. It almost looked like her mind was somewhere else. Lin barked, "Hez! Have you been listening!?"

Hez snapped out of her vapid delirium and dumbly stared at her partner. She then jumped down the museum's stairs and just continued looking around. It was like the conversation didn't register in her mind.

"Geez... Anyway, Alice, do you want us to help you scour the Wonderful Horror? We might find clues that you've probably overlooked," Lin offered.
Accepted.
