"Damn...what a day, guys, this was an absolute blast," Sighed Jaden, laying down and staring up with a smile.
"Yeah, I had a lot of fun too," Nodded Ciel in agreent, stretching her arms out.
It was almost 6 PM now, we’d been here for nearly six hours at this point.
After finishing the food, we smoked, drank and chatted, played so gas too, and we got into the snacks after a few hours, once we’d digested our heavy lunch a bit.
We finished all the snacks, along with the alcohol and weed, about half an hour ago, we were all pretty damn stoned and wasted.
We’re getting ready to head back soon, so we sobered ourselves up a fair bit, leaving just enough intoxication to keep a nice buzz going.
We were planning on packing up and heading back in about fifteen to twenty minutes or so, it won’t be much longer now before we take our leave.
"Don’t think I’ll need any dinner tonight. I’m stuffed to the absolute brim," Remarked Jaden, as he picked up a water bottle with one of his whips and carried it over towards him as he sat up.
"Sa here, another bite and it’ll all co back out. Actually, any sudden movents might trigger it too," Muttered Cleo, her face a bit pale.
She’s the smallest of the five of us, which probably also ans that she has the smallest stomach, but she ate and drank just as much, if not more, as the rest of us did.
"Well, if there was ever an occasion to over-indulge, I’d say this was it," I replied with a wry smile.
"Plus, we have no real reason to be reserved in general. Our regeneration keeps us in peak condition, it’d be next to impossible for us to get out of shape or gain weight," Pointed out Aria.
"Yeah, that’s true," Nodded Cleo thoughtfully.
The opposite would be a problem though, malnutrition and dehydration can make us weaker, though we’ll quickly bounce back to our physical peak once we do get so food and water.
"I an, I know that goes for you three, but it’s not quite the sa for us. Our healing factors aren’t in the sa league as your regeneration, so we have to be more conscious of our health," Ciel sighed wistfully.
"That said, our healing factors are still good enough to keep us in peak condition for a while, we can stay fit a lot more easier than anyone except you three, we just need so occasional training and exercise. In short, we can maintain top form so long as we don’t get too neglectful and lazy," Explained Jaden in response.
"Yeah, and unlike you guys, we aren’t immortal. We’ll age a hell of a lot slower than other people, but we’ll still age," Added Ciel.
"I’m going to age too, I’m not immortal," Chid in Cleo.
"Oh, yeah, they ntioned that at the hospital after we all woke up. You’re going to have a longer lifespan than the two of us will, though, right?" Jaden asked her.
"Yeah, it was estimated that I’ll live sowhere between six to seven hundred years," She nodded in response.
"And you two were told you’d live to about five hundred, right?" Inquired Aria, as she glanced at the other two.
"Yup, so that’s four hundred and sixty-six years to go for ," Replied Ciel with a smile.
"And four hundred and seventy-three for ," Grinned Jaden.
"Huh? Wait...you’re thirty-four? I just assud you were in your twenties," Remarked Cleo, staring at Ciel in surprise.
Wow, that makes her older than my ntal age...probably shouldn’t say that out loud though.
"Yeah, I’ve always looked young for my age, and since I’m barely going to age for the foreseeable future, that isn’t going to change," She responded wryly.
"Guess we’ll all look the sa for a while. And you two will look this way forever," Mused Jaden, glancing at Aria and I.
"I an, we can change up our hairstyles and stuff, at least," I pointed out with a smile.
"Are you guys really planning on living forever? Like, what if there’s an apocalypse or sothing in the distant future?" Cleo asked us.
"We have our own dinsion, rember? So, if the world goes to shit, we can just live out our days in there. And if we get sick of living a few millennia down the line or whatever, we can just destroy our Cores and end it," I replied with a shrug.
"That’s kinda bleak, but at least it’s not sothing you have to worry about anyti soon," Responded Ciel thoughtfully.
"Yeah, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. And on that note, I think it’s ti we wrap things up, it’s starting to get pretty dark," I remarked, as I stretched my arms up.
"Sure, sounds good."
"Sa, let’s get going. This was a lot of fun, guys."
"Agreed. Let’s et up again soon, everyone, we’re going to be stuck with each other for the next five hundred years, so we might as well make the most of it."
We all got up and began packing everything away, before I folded up the blanket and put it into Treasury.
"Wait, guys, before we go...what do you say we cap this off with a bang?" Suggested Ciel, forming a ball of explosive energy with a smile.
"Sure, but, uh...make sure it blows up in the middle of the air, don’t hit the do," I replied warily.
"Don’t worry, I’ve got this. Now...BOOM!!!" She exclaid, the explosive energy expanding sharply into a large sphere before she launched it straight up into the air.
The sphere shot up with a bright red glow, before erupting with a deafening bang several ters above us, an intense shockwave bursting out and triggering powerful gusts of wind, our hair fluttering as it hit us.
"Nice, that was-...," Began Aria.
"Okay, one more!" Grinned Ciel, starting to charge up another one.
"Co on, don’t-...hm?" I frowned, as I spotted a sudden shimr around the space where we’d been sitting.
What the...?
My eyes widened before I instinctively stepped back as the shimr intensified, cracks appearing in the space around that spot, spreading rapidly as an ominous wave of energy burst out, my blood running cold...
