"So what is this all about anyway?" Ada asks, "I didn't know there was something to celebrate recently."
"Well, there isn't really." Is Arise's offhand response. "Think of it more like a 'happy to be alive' kind of thing. Besides, it's not like it matters right? We're all friends here!"
"Hardly. I'm just playing along until I can kill you all."
Conversation stops instantly. Your hands freeze in mid-motion, holding a soda bottle halfway out of the bag as your mind puts Ada's words on a loop. It would have been as if the universe held it's breath if not for the sudden sound of an empty fountain drink being sucked dry.
Attention around the clearing is focused solely on Truth and Blue Sky. The former's lips pursed around the straw of her cup as she empties it. Eyes locked upon the latter.
"You have any idea how easy it is to forget about your stupid little aura?" Ada's face is carved into a look of complete disbelief even as her voice remains steady.
