(Takes place on November 1st.)Trier was out again, smoothing down her dress and waiting for Necro to show up. She had been invited out to go to Space with him, to see his Wonder and try to get things ready for…a fire?
She had brought some supplies. A camp fire pit that was heavy, but not overly so. Right now it stood by her feet and the other supplies, some wood, a few lighters and…because she was channeling Alexi for the thought, a pack of marshmallows and a few long skewers.
Of course, she wasn’t sure if any of these things would be even remotely helpful for what her friend…she supposed they were friends at this point. More of a mentor though.
Perhaps it would turn into a friendship. And honestly, she could use more of those if she were being completely honest with herself. Right now though…
She just wanted him to show up so that he could confirm she had either done too much, or brought just enough.

"Oh my god I think you might literally be one of my favorite people right now." Necro said, appearing behind her as he eyeballed the stuff she had brought. Not the favorite person, but definitely up there. "Uh... Thank you. By the way, for agreeing to this and for hunting down a fire pit. I'm sure there's something I could have found to use there, but with my luck... I'd probably end up cursing myself or something." He said, tugging on the strap to the duffle bag that was slung over his shoulder. "I really owe you one." Or maybe two. "Anyway uh... Do you wanna get the billion questions outta the way now or you do wanna do that after we get there?" He teased lightly.

Trier huffed a laugh and shrugged. “You’re carrying it. It’s heavy. But, I didn’t mind. I expect to enjoy some marshmallows and not just allow you to keep them for whatever else you’re planning, so there’s that. But. I don’t really have many questions. I have some, but. A campfire seems quite straightforward, and if we’re really going up to your Wonder as you said…I was simply assuming there wasn’t any easy sources for fires.”
Though, perhaps she did have a few questions. “Will we be able to breathe up there? Is oxygen going to be an issue, because I didn’t…factor on that bit.”
If it was…building a fire was going to be pretty impossible, and if they did manage to…it would take what oxygen there was…so…hopefully this was nothing more than a needless worry.

"That's fine. I have no problem hauling it around." Not that he knew where he was going to even put the darned thing. Ugh. He really was getting in over his head... He hoped this would be worth it. .... No... It was worth it. It would be. He stared at her for a moment, confused. "I... Uh... No..No that's something we can do.." Oh thank whoever, that was something they could do because he did not want to figure the logistics of that if it wasn't the case. Okay... Now or never. With a quite mumble of the pledge, they were suddenly there. The taller man then seemed to shrink as he glanced from the building before them to the girl next to him. "....Ta...da?"

So…perhaps Trier had lied. Though she hadn’t been aware of the fact she would be lying until they made it to this place. This…place that truly wasn’t the city.
She let go of Necro and stared around, eyes wide as she took in…what she could. “...I suppose. I do have questions, but I don’t believe I would have thought of them until this moment, so please don’t fault me for this…how…” Swallowing, Trier tried again. “I have something like this? Somewhere like this? How do I get there? Will it be just like this? You said…I mean…have you been elsewhere?”
Okay yes, she heard herself. She did ask a lot of questions. She did bombard him…but…
Holy s**t she was in space?

Necro couldn't stop the string of giggles that tore through him as he watched Trier's sheer surprise and string of questions. Billion questions after they get there it was. "You? Have questions? Noooo. Never!" He mocked in between laughs. "Not you. you're not curious at all." Necro grinned. The Squire did his best to not drag the fire pit to much against the ground as he hauled it over to the temple. "Come on ya goof ball. Inside first, then more questions." Pulling the strap to the dufflebag over his shoulder, he threw the bag into the corner where it was a liiiitle more obvious that he'd been here before. "Okay. First things first. Yes, you have something like this. Yes, it's somewhere like this. No I don't entirely know where but it's going to have the same... spooky atmosphere so, get use to it now. How you get here, I can explain a bit later when the shock and awe has worn off and you're not as overwhelmed. It might be like this? I don't entirely know. Dark and decrepit. Sure. A temple? I aint got the slightest. And... No. I haven't uh.. really tried exploring far beyond this." He said, ticking each answer off on a finger. "Anything else?"

“You can’t blame me. It’s not that…I didn’t believe you when you said we would be going somewhere else I just…didn’t…think…it was the truth.” Which…she vaguely supposed might be the same thing, but she hadn’t…thought he was lying...she had believed him just…oh, whatever.
“What…exactally do you do here? What’s the purpose of it?” She followed him and nodded as he spoke. Dark and decrepit? She could handle that, she supposed but.
“What are you planning here? Why a firepit?”

"I quite literally told you it was magic, shot you with a magic arrow and you STILL thought I was lying. Wow, Trier. Rude. I'm honestly shocked and hurt." He said flatly, the same stupid grin on his face. "What I do here... Is complicated. Because what I am doing here is... not what.. I should be? If that makes sense. Like I'm suppose to be learning about it. About me. That whole... growth bullshit. Figuring out a way to make it not so..." He waved a hand at their surroundings. "This." His shoulders slumped. "Honestly, I don't know how I feel about the whole thing. It reminds me of some stuff I'd rather forget. But.. That's not... this places' fault." He was trying to work past it. He was just going about it very, very, very slowly. "The fire pit... Because.. Well that circles back to 'what I'm doing here. As sappy as it sounds... I'm trying to make a um... get away... Of sorts. For a friend. He's.. been through some stuff, and can't always.." Necro shrugged. "I just wanted him to have someplace to go where he could just... ignore it all. Someplace, where all the bullshit couldn't reach him. At least for a few hours." Yeah it was still complicated, cause Cela would need Necro to take him there but... He had no problem doing that. "He doesn't really have anywhere like this that he can go, to get away from it all." He had just wanted to help.

“No! I wasn’t. I believe you about magic, I just…didn’t know if you were like, taking me to some place in…nature?” Yeah that made no sense but. Whatever. “What do you mean by that? What does it remind you of? Have you been somewhere like this before?”
She wanted to explore, which…was a little off brand for her, but…this was kind of…neat. “Who? Is this your boyfriend?”
Suddenly, a small grin split her face. “I have two younger siblings, and one of them has a horrible track record of boyfriends…honestly…if I have a magical place like this, I could easily hide bodies…that’s…actually a delightful thought. The other. They…don’t commit well, but they have partners all the time. I worry.”
