The trip to Phagua 5 was relatively normal, if one could count Aventurine's eccentricities as normal. Though, he supposed, it was better than being bothered by one of the other fools.
The only thing he could hope for was that Aventurine wasn't planning anything similar to what happened on Penacony.
"What a wonderful planet!" Aventurine declares.
That was true, if anything.
The atmosphere was easy to breathe. From the analysis he'd read, it had 23% oxygen and 76% nitrogen. It was difficult to get this balance- too much oxygen, and things would catch on fire too often, not enough, and it was hard to breathe.
The water seemed to glitter, and the trees were vibrant, just like the grass. In the distance, he could see a city - that must be where they were supposed to go.
"Come on." He grabs Aventurine's hand and heads to the city- the IPC issued craft lifts off the ground with a hum, before blinking into nothingness.
"I can walk on my own! Unless you just wanted to hold my hand..?" Aventurine teases.
Ratio glances down, realizing he was holding Aventurine's hand.
"Oh, for crying out loud..." He releases his hands and walks a few paces ahead. The gambler giggles behind him. What a brat.
They reached the city in 42 minutes and 38 seconds, 11 minutes and 24 seconds later than intended because Aventurine dropped an earring in the grass and forced him to help look for it.
The city was... very green. Not in the sense that the buildings were painted green, but that they were surrounded by luscious grass, a windowsill planter in each window with various different flowers, herbs, and other various plants.
As expected, they arrived at the hotel at 1340 (1:40), and Aventurine spotted "Oscar Patel" pretty easily.
"Well, hello, friend." Aventurine said in a way that most definitely made the man's skin prickle with goosebumps, though he didn't show it. "We have a reservation for... "Alessandro Strickland"... And "Vergil Richards"."
"Do you have identification methods?"
Aventurine pulls out their fake IDs, and the man nods, handing them a flat rectangular package.
"Enjoy your stay."
Ratio follows Aventurine up the stairs as he opens the little package to find a keycard and 300 local credits- Oara.
"300..." Aventurine mumbles. "I can double that in no time."
Ratio sighs and unlocks the door to the room. There were plants everywhere, on the table as a centerpiece, in the windows... Well, it wasn't called the land of the harvest for nothing, clearly.
