Chimera looked around at seeing the entrance of Silon, and she wondered how many of the group remembered things that happened in the other dimensions.

(When Chimera refers to the other dimensions, she's talking about the RP's.)

Onyxia looked at Silon, "Hi Silon!" she waved, then she bit her lip, Varedis had told her that sometimes dragons didn't remember what happened in other dimensions, what if Silon didn't remember her?

Hephaestus smirked as he finished his somewhat unnerving staring at the others. "Okay... I've got everyone's measurements," he said, tapping the part of his helmet closest to where his brain would be "and I've got my other bodies working on fitting the armor back at the forge as we speak."

"That is so cool!" Ki said to Hephaestus

Silon hugged Onyxia, he clearly remembered "Its great to see you again Onyxia" He said

"I was thinking we could send Hephaestus in with an old friend" Austin said, he was going to text Starri and ask for her help

Onyxia hugged Silon back, "YES! He remembers me!" thought Onyxia exuberantly

"Eh, it really isn't that tough, all I need to measure others is judge their size based on their distance from me and others nearby." Heph said, crossing his arms and making a smug expression, unaware that Ki was probably referring to the 'other bodies' he mentioned.

Chimera looked at Heph, "To be honest, you won't need to make me some armor, I actually have some. I wanted to tell you this in case you made some for me." Chimera hoped she didn't sound too ungrateful.

Two jets of smoke shot out of the Ifrit's canid nostrils as he sharply exhaled, but he quickly recomposed himself with a smile. "Very well, that's one less suit to forge, I'll get done a bit quicker..." he said, before scratching his chin, his claws tracing through his beard's hair. "However, I am a skilled enchanter, if you would like modifications to your own armor. I can't promise it will be as strong, however..."

Chimera scratched a claw in the ground nervously, "Well, the only problem is it doesn't appear on will, it only comes in ... certain times."

"Yeah, but you know how hard that is to do just by looking at someone?" Ki asked

"So, how have you been?" Silon asked

"Alright, how long has it been since you last saw me?" Onyxia asked

"Know that I don't remember, but there's no need for 20 questions Onyxia" Silon said

"No, I need to know, because for me it only been two weeks," Onyxia complained, resting her head under Silon's chin.

"To be honest, I've been thrown through so many universes that I've lost track of time, I don't know how long I was gone" Silon admitted with a frown

"Oh, ok...your life seems so eventful, I just left the city with Varedis and Chromatus, and came here fter a while."

"Heh, it's never really been that hard for me." Heph said, grinning proudly. "I'll be right back, kid." he said, before flashing away, returning about three seconds later in the same spot. He was carrying a suit of armor that looked rather form-fitting, before holding it out to Ki. "This one was mostly ready to go as is, although I did have to make a few modifications. Go on, give it a try."

Varedis was shocked, "Well, that was quick..."

"Woah! Thanks Heph!" Ki said as he started to put the armor on, it fit perfectly "This is great! Thanks buddy" He said as he hugged Heph

"Yeah, shortly after you left I was knocked into a portal of some kind, I'm sorry" Silon said as he rubbed his head against hers

The forge god looked around awkwardly, not really sure how to respond to the hug. "Um... if I may ask, what is going on here? What is happening?"

"Its a hug, its what people do when they're happy, you just do what I'm doing back" Ki explained

Onyxia smiled at Silon, "Then you shall be forgiven for your horrible mistake, but first you must give me the moon in payment," she joked then laughed at Hephaestus' discomfort, "There's always one isn't there, there's always that one guy who seems to be having a heart attack when they get hugged"

Hephaestus was clearly blushing, embarrassed to be caught off guard. "It isn't often that someone has the gall... sorry, that was uncalled for... the intrepidity to hug a god... but I shall take it as a sign of gratitude. If you are as brave on the battlefield as you have been here, I'm glad that my service won't be for naught."

Ventus tilted his head at Heph's awkward posture. "You know... when someone hugs you, traditionally you're expected to hug them back."

"Don't tempt me Onyxia, I'll try to, you know I will" Silon said as he wrapped his tail around her tail

"Trust me, they won't" Ki said as he continued the hug

[Sorry for my absence, recap?]

((We're planning on sending someone in to buy a rocket from Technus))

"Will this take place at night?" Kumara asked.

"Probably," replied Varedis

Onyxia laughed again, "Now that's hardly fair, you're supposed to stare at the moon for hours and then come and beg my foregiveness as the moon's impossible to reach, actually, forget that, I've been listenning to too many of Varedis' stories... "

Hephaestus continued to look around awkwardly, deciding to pat Ki on the head twice, before attempting to back away.

Onyxia erupted into laughter at this...

Ventus followed suit, practically howling with laughter at the awkwardness. "Really, Heph? Really? Big bad fire god doesn't know how to hug! Ahaha, classic!"

Heph was currently blushing with anger, currently embarrassed and angry, but unsure where to direct this pointless rage towards. He grabbed his helm, which was sitting the nearby table, and promptly slammed it on his head. "Everyone's armor will be done and enchanted within the hour, and it seems my presence isn't needed here for the time being." he said, as he abruptly stormed into the nearby kitchen in an attempt to distance himself from the others.

Ventus's laughter trailed off, still amused, but sounding somewhat guilty. "Oh... yeah, I think I took it a bit far. I didn't really want to bring it up while he was here, but he's... a bit sensitive, and bad at coping... has been ever since Aphrodite left him."

Onyxia stopped laughing, "Oh, that's kinda sad, was Aphrodite his girlfriend?")

"More like his wife..." he said, making sure his voice was low enough to not reach Heph. "I mean, I don't want to be a gossip... but I heard the reason she married him in the first place was that he worked late nights. All the poor guy ever does now is work, probably to take his mind off of her."

"Poor guy" Ki said before walking into the kitchen "Hey Heph, I'm sorry about that, I didn't know about Aphrodite" He said, patting him on the back to calm him down

"That's so sad" Silon said "Onyxia... It wasn't nice to laugh at Heph"

All of Mono's and Chrome's heads had been silent; they didn't know what to say, though they were hopeful to stop these enemies.

Hephaestus let out a sigh as he realized Ki had followed him. "Eh, it isn't your fault... it's mine, for not opening up to people. I mean, I've got a lot to learn about people, even with my thousands of years of experience."

"Guys, don't beat yourselves up about it... you didn't know." Ventus said, his ears drooping. "I kinda did, though..."

Ki hugged Heph "Its ok buddy, just let it out" He said

"Eh, don't worry about me, I'll be fine, but..." Figuring that less people would see, he decided that it wouldn't harm his reputation too badly if he reciprocated the hug. "...thanks for caring."

Onyxia nodded at Ventus, "Yeah, this guy's right Silon, I didn't know he haad a traumatising past, I just thought he was an awkward hugger."

Kumara watched awkwardly from the edge of the room.

Varedis walked upp to Kumara, "Is something wrong, you seem like you might be sad,"

Kihei hugged Kumara "You ok K'ara?" He asked

"We should apologize when he comes out" Silon said

[So, is everyone still at Austin's house?]

((Yes we are))

Onyxia nodded, "I agree,"

"I'm fine, really," Kumara replied, "the situation is just uncomfortable. We seem to be waisting time by doing nothing."

"I know, but at least we are coming up with a plan in the meantime." Pilila spoke up after being quiet for so long.

"Well, we have a plan now, but we need to wait for nightfall" Kihei said

"Oh, by the way..." Heph said to Ki, seeking to change the subject, "everyone else's armor is almost done and set up in the dining room." he said, gesturing to the dining room, where an Ifrit-shaped robot was setting up one last mannequin with armor. All of the sets of armor looked to be unique, and were designed to appeal to each person based on what they were already wearing. "The weapons are still a work in progress, though."

"Weapons?" Pilila questioned.

Hephaestus turned around to see Pilila in the entryway in the kitchen, and rubbed the back of his fiery mane of hair nervously. "Well, you guys don't have to use them, but I like to design a full set when I make armor and weapons... for you, I had a set of claw-like gauntlets in mind, enchanted to enhance wind magic."
