Luna's house was much bigger than my apartment, with a whole two (2) bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, and a backyard.

"Woah, this is a really big house~" Fiz said in awe.

"It's actually on the smaller side," Luna said, smiling playfully. "But I guess it's bigger than an apartment, huh?"

"So does Dyhart live with you?" Fiz asked.

"Yeah, he just graduated high school and wanted to move out of his parent's house, so I let him stay here."

Dyhart crossed the room, silently walking down the hall and closing his door. Luna walked up to a cabinet and began rummaging through it.

"Tea?"

"What's that?" Fiz tilted her head, her ears flopping to the side.

"It's... hot leaf juice?" I tried.

"Excuse me," Luna huffed, giving me a playful glare. "That's not even remotely true. You boil water, than let the leaves steep in the hot water so that the water gets flavored... often with a variety of other benefits, depending on the leaves that are used."

"... why isn't it juice, then?" Fiz asks with a slightly mischievous smile.

Luna groaned and took out five teacups.

"Aren't there four of us?" I asked

"Dyhart said someone else was coming over, silly!" Fiz bubbled, cuddling against my arm.

"Mhm, Emi works at the mall too, she's-"

Dyhard stepped into the room, carrying several notebooks, boxes of art supplies, and a folder labeled "INFO FOR NOOBS"

"Emi's one of those people who's simultaneously really scary and really cool," He smiled, flipping through the folder.

"We're doing the Starline campaign today, so they'll need the PSI sheets, too," Luna said, stepping over and picking out an empty notebook and some drawing supplies.

"... what are we getting sucked into?" I asked.

"Oh! It's a Tabletop RPG called Starlight Wilds," Dyhart explained, taking four sheets of paper from the folder and setting them down. "You'll have to make characters for it, select PSI, and, while not essential, we usually draw art of what our characters look like."

There's a loud knock on the door, and Fiz grabs my arm tighter. I gently pat her head, smiling softly at her.

"Are you alright?" I asked as Luna crossed to the door. Fiz nodded.

"... if it's too much, we can take it step-by-step," Dyhart offered.

As Luna opened the door, we heard another voice speak.

Remember a few chapters ago when I got Fiz her phone? Yeah, it was the woman who was working there. She gasped, staring directly at Fiz.

"You're... one of Taiyo's followers," The tall woman said in surprise.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been AGES since the last chapter, I'm sorry!

I've been a bit busy for a while, but I felt bad about just... leaving this without at the very least ending this current storyline. I plan on ending this story (it'll be a little while for that though) and wrapping things up somehow.

Update on my ribs, if you're curious: it was not fractured, but I sprained a muscle. After I got the right medication, I got better quickly.

Anyway, sorry again for taking so long, hopefully the next chapter will be out within a few weeks.
