Written in the history books throughout Azalea, the first trace of humankind on the planet was found in the Northern Hemisphere in the Continent known as Eigis. An arctic jungle diverse of polar creatures, the continent is populated by a native race known as Terrans who have blood ties to the First Men of the planet. Covered in ruins and villages, its citizens still live in ancient buildings and structures said to date back thousands of years ago. For centuries Azalea's archeologist and scientist have found the continent to be a hotbed of history, and to this date, items of old are still being found today. As of recently, Dianthe was notified of a discovery taken place within one of the many dig sites on the continent. An item, which she soon learned was called a [i]vinyl disc[/i], was discovered with over thirty other discs perfectly reserved in time thanks to the frozen temperature.

In it's fragile state the disc was found to be too precious to study directly, and with modern technology, the vinyl was read, repaired, and remade. And what was found was none other then music. As the senior historian at Algerath's Natural History Museum, Dianthe was given the music and made responsible to set up an exhibit, but with a recent message from her [i]second[/i] job the young woman was unsure if she even had the time to look into the project. As frustrating as it was, Dianthe had accepted the jobs despite her hesitation, and as she sat in her beat up silver Toyota she found herself looking over the audio files that had been uploaded onto her phone.

Scrolling through the countless names, she finally settled on an artist and song as tapped it open. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-61NjMl0mQk]Frank Sinatra - That's Life[/url]. The song artist and title name was an absolute mystery to the historian, but for the sake of good money and getting a taste of the past, Dianthe decided to give it a listen. Connecting her phone to her car radio, she leaned back in her seat and waited to hear what came off of the cleaned up audio, and as it played goosebumps slowly rose on her skin. The music, while grainy, was comprehendible. It was unlike anything she had ever heard before, and it was in no way like the music that was currently polluting Azalea's mainstream radio stations. Upbeat, jazzy, and soulful, she couldn't help but hop in her seat as she danced softly to the oddly appropriate song. Turning on her car and putting it into reverse, Dianthe backed out of her parking spot and headed off to finish a few errand before making her to the Safehouse.

Parking outside of the seemingly empty structure beside Nero's sedan and Saga's Jeep, Dianthe lugged out a handful of bags as she kicked her car door closed and locked it with the button on her keys. It had been a fair struggle to get inside, nearly dropping a number of items as she fought to balance the bags on her chest and get her hand read on the pad. Descending down once inside, the familiar voices of her teammates filled her ears as the elevator came to a halt and the doors slid open. Saga getting on Nero's case, Blair defending him, and Gideon complaining even before the mission, Dianthe couldn't help but feel at home again as she took in the leathery smell of the Safehouse.

"[b]Do you suppose that the brass could be convinced to give us more than an hour's warning next time? I might've been in the middle of some important diplomatic business.[/b]"

"[color=f7976a]Oh hush, Gideon. I can smell the alcohol on your breath even in the elevator. In fact, I bet you're nursing a hangover right now.[/color]" Oh, it was good to be back. 

Throwing a playful wink Gideon's way, Dianthe turned her gaze to Blair, Saga, Mirany, and Nero as an excited grin stretched across her face, "[color=f7976a]Can you all believe it's been so long! We've finally got the band back together![/color]" While it had been half a year Dianthe had stayed in touch with her teammates, often visiting them personally or calling everyone together at Blair's bar whenever they were available, which was often rare. So despite seeing them recently, the princess' excitement was focused on the mission aspect of their regrouping. It was only on missions that Dianthe felt closest to her team, and she was more than ready to get back into the field after such an extended vacation.

Carrying her bag of treats over, she dropped them at the center of the table after neatly moving a few maps Mirany had laid out. "[color=f7976a]Since it's been so long I decided to get you all a little something, kind of like a celebratory present. So, I hope you all are [i]hungry[/i]![/color]" She said, almost speaking directly to Nero as she stared him down with a hard look. Knowing her leader, he had probably eaten earlier but she knew he would never turn down a piece of pizza from Capello's Pizzeria, Algerath's [i]best[/i] Italian Cuisine and Pizzeria. 

Frozen chocolate strawberries and a fruit salad for Blair, a personal sized supreme pizza from Capello's for Nero, a bowl of Shrimp Scampi with Linguini -- also from Capello's -- for Saga, an iceberg cheeseburger and lemonade from another one of Algerath's famous diners for Mirany, and a tall fruit shake and salad for the hangover king himself. Staring proudly at the display of food on the table, Dianthe crossed her arms and gave herself a mental pat on the back, "[color=f7976a]It was payday, so no thanks necessary.[/color]" With that said, the redhead made her way to the locker room where she removed her business clothes and changed into her Kingsglaive uniform before returning to her teammates. Pulling out one of the many chairs as she leaned her sheathed weapon against the tabled, Dianthe plopped down on the cushioned seat before grabbing her own personal pepperoni pizza, "[color=f7976a]Looks like we're all here, then. Go ahead, take it away, boss man.[/color]" She said, putting her full attention on Nero before shoving a piece of pizza in her mouth.
