I.C.E.D City

Arial follows Aquarius closely, not scared of what she hears anymore. Arial and Aquarius make it to the entrance. Arial could see others were waiting.

"What's this?" Arial asks.

"This is just the entrance to the city. There are many people here because they have to be checked up for who, where, when, what, and how they are. We never know who will enter.

There might be dangerous people or just people coming to find a safe place to go."

"Oh, so that's why," Arial asks.

"Forgot to say my actual name is Rose. I lied about my name to see if you had some kind of reaction. You can call me by that name since it would sound a bit weird or too long to say my alias name or whatever plus everybody already knows my real name..."

*Waits in line*

"...Oh! Another thing I forgot we can just enter directly follow me."

"We just wasted 10 minutes waiting here" A bit annoyed.

"Haha sorry about that."

Rose and Arial walk on the side of the massive line to the entrance. Rose stops walking and makes a stop gesture towards Arial.

"Arial just stay there for a while."

"Alright."

Arial could see Rose's face turning a little sad when she turns around and goes. Arial stays some distance away. She watches as Rose goes to one of the guards at the entrance and starts to talk to him about something. Arial being curious makes it more clear to hear by enhancing her hearing.

[Enhancing hearing] [1...2...3] [Enhancing complete]

"...I should've studied some things about engineering so I can upgrade my mechanical parts better than just adjusting them."

Arial listens in to their conversation looking at them intensely. The people in the line look at Arial weirdly.

"Hey, Kyle how have you been doing!" Energetically.

"Hey, Rose It's been a while! What are you doing here?!" Acting all friendly.

"I just finished my recruitments."

"Where are they?"

"Well...about that..."

Kyle could see Rose was a bit down when he said that. He looks over Rose's shoulder to see only me behind her.

"Oh umm...Well, come in!" Kyle shouts while patting Rose on the back.

"And you over there!" Points at Arial.

"Come on in your safe to come in now!"

Both of them enter the city. They walk into the city seeing lights everywhere in the night sky.

"And here we are in I.C.E.D City, I know the city's name sounds a bit broken or weird but the name will do since it stands for something," Rose says.

"The city looks kinda futuristic and some parts of the city look like its building and culture are from the old days. Well anyway, can we find some new clothes now my clothes feel really dirty now."

"We should be able to find a clothing store anytime now."

Rose looks around and finally sees the clothing store.

"Found it!"

The clothing store name: ONE Exchange articles of clothing.

"That's a weird name?" Arial wonders.

"Arial you can go to the sauna that's next to it here's my card you should be able to use the shower and the sauna if you have this."

*Grabs card*

"Thanks," Arial says.

"Oh yeah, what clothes do you need I'm talking about the size of the clothes you want to wear."

"Uh any size will do and comfortable clothes please, oh and jackets with hoods please sweater is fine also."

"Alright shouldn't be too much since the money isn't going to come from me."

"What?"

"Nothing just go and relax you have a week in till we do anything"

"Ok then."

Rose and Arial separate from each other. Arial going to the sauna, Rose going the "One Exchange articles of clothing."

Arial going to the sauna could see that it was named "Hot and Cold Sauna"

"Well that's a weird name"

Arial enters the room and could see people playing at the ping pong table, others sitting in the living at next to the entrance, drinking milk and coming out of saunas.

"This really looks Japanese-style-like."

"It sure is"

"What the f**k!" Arial turns around and raises her hand about to slap the person behind her.

This person ducks and stands back up.

"Now now don't be so scared." Looks at Arial up and down.

"It looks like you need some cleaning. Now go the showers is right here."

*Pushes Arial*

"Hey. Wait. I. need to. give. the- Whoa"

Arial almost trips enter the shower room with no one inside of it.

"...Might as well enjoy it for now." Arial takes a shower.

*20 minutes later*

Arial finishes taking a shower and enters the sauna.

*5 minutes later*

"Ahh, this feels really good-" Relaxed.

"Arial I got your clothes here!!"

The door slams on the other side to the wall,

"Motherf**k!"

Arial surprised jumps and falls on her ass to the ground.

"Rose!! You scared the hell out of me!!"

"Haha sorry I couldn't resist. Haha, you looked really relaxed when I saw you through the door window."

"Well anyway your clothes will be next to the sauna don't and don't worry not many people come here and the dressing room is right across from the sauna."

"Got it."

Arial continues to relax and Rose leaves.

*5 minutes later*

"Alright, I think that's enough now. I guess another shower is fine."

Arial goes out of the sauna sees her clothes on the side of the door. She picks up the clothes and enters the room between the hallway and the shower. Arial puts her clothes in one of those boxes that has a rack in it. After this Arial goes back to take a shower. After Arial takes a shower for a while she takes her clothes to the dressing room and changes clothes.

*5 minutes later*

"Wow, I look nice in this."

Clothes appearance: Pink sweater, black leggings.

Rose knocks on the door.

"Arial are you done in there."

"Yeah, I'm all done now."

"Well let's go you have my card with you I need to use it to pay for everything."

"Got it I'll be there."

Arial starts to think to herself.

'This really has been a long day...wait it's nighttime here so? What time is it out of there?... Eh, I don't have anything out there to live for any way they probably got my face and know I work there already. I still have some questions left but I'll save them for later… Whelp let's see what happens from now on.'
