Will we meet for dinner in elysium, my dear(Ami and Natsume)

[Bean Bandit]

"Gpmth!" Ami replied, hurriedly swallowing the drink, and breathing quickly to cool down her tongue. "P-Perhaps..." Ami winces, the burned feeling to her tongue decidedly unpleasant. "But as I said...I slept from noon until this morning yesterday..."

[Anastasia]

"You're probably really getting sick," Eudial nods, "If you're sleeping that much and still ill. Or..." Smiling now, strongly, "Either that or you need to get your blood pumping. I can help with that option."

[Bean Bandit]

"I don't -feel- sick." Ami protested, blowing on her drink. "Blood pumping?"

[Anastasia]

"Yeah," Eudial nods happily. "I just tweaked the engine in my car, so...."

Frankly, Eudial's grin at the prospect tells you everything you really need to know on the subject.

[Bean Bandit]

"Right. May I have a blindfold this time?" Ami asks innocently, without missing a beat. "And I suspect you're mistaken...blood has difficulty pumping at all with the G-forces you deal in..." Ami's expression remains completly guileless, but there's a trace of a smile in her voice.

[Anastasia]

Eudial snorts and smiles herself, tossing her head and hair back. "We'll see about that, Ami," she vows, as you approach the gym changing room areas. "I'm sure I'll figure out some way to swing it."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods, sipping more carefully at the 'warm' drink Eudial gave her. "I'm sure you would." Ami replies wryly, taking up a position outside the changeroom doors. "Someday, I'd like to see what exactly you put under the hood..."

[Anastasia]

"Someday," Eudial nods, going back to change. As she leaves you, you have to suppress a burnt tongue yawn, sleepiness still evident and felt.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami sighs, slumping against the wall. "What's happening to me?" she wonders softly, gingerly finishing her drink, then taking out the Talisman again to examine it. Could this be the key? But....that last...dream, or whatever it was, didn't happen while I was wearing it...

[Anastasia]

Your Talisman feels pleasant in your hand, damn good to hold. The new snowflake design glitters in the light, like ice reflecting the sunshine in the Arctic. Yet it provides no answers, only the passing of time as Eudial changes.

[Bean Bandit]

Experimentally, Ami slips it back onto her wrist, wondering exactly what it does to her body to produce such a strong ward against cold, then removing it again. I've been delaying, since the professor tested it himself, but maybe it's time for me to run scans...

[Anastasia]

When you slip it onto your arm, you feel slightly better. It's comfortable and soothing in it's way, and a minor dissapointment when you take it off. As you ponder this, Eudial comes out in a heavy blue jacket and pants. "Ready," she asks laconically, adjusting her winter wear.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami raises her eyebrows at Eudial's attire and simply nods, slipping the talsiman back into her subspace pocket with a slightly worried frown. Am I getting attacted to it, somehow?

"Ready." Ami agrees softly, standing.

[Anastasia]

It's a short trip to her car, and you note that the seatbelts are in fine working order.

Thank God, Buddha, the Kami, and Queen Serenity.

Eudial's grin perks up as always as she gets in, getting the engine going. Makes a fair deal more noise than a normal one, too.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nervously buckles herself into the passenger side seat, thanking kami for the racing belt, and closed her eyes, fishing the scrap of paper from her coat. "Do you know where to find this address?" She asks.
