[closed] come back to sorrento (except not exactly)
Who: Forrest & D2
When: January 10
Where: Italy! Mainly Naples.
What: Forrest and D2 goes to a Lakshmi temple to make it official.
[ You can’t just pop over with a little bit of teleportation from Far Shore shrine to Near Shore shrine to reach an unblessed temple, but that’s fine. Making a trip out of it is only fun, though it takes time. They had to borrow someone elses temple to get to the Near Shore and not have to travel half the world, because Italy is a fair distance away from India, but there are many different faiths and mythologies represented in the Far Shore so they only had to find someone close enough that might let them use their temple to leave the Heavens through.
As a result, they only have to take a couple train rides to reach the city of Napels. ]
If the temple is supposed to be in the vicinity of the National Archaeological Museum, it’s about thirty, forty minutes from Napoli Centrale by foot. [ D2 has a map for that. D2 likes maps. (Otherwise he would never have undertaken the Mapping The Far Shore Project. Because that will never end.) ] Since we don’t know the exact location, it might take longer than that. Renting a car would make the trip take about quarter of an hour, [ They have been on travelling foot for several hours and one might want to reach the goal quicker as a result. D2 would be fine either way; he does work out a lot every single day and he is at ease behind a wheel. But while he’s an avid traveller, he's not sure if Forrest is the same. ] but what’d you want to do?
[ They’re not at the train station yet but they’ll be there eventually, sooner rather than later, so having a plan would be good. ]

[He does seem a little unsure of himself, though.]
I'm afraid I don't know how to drive, though.
no subject
[ He may have had one falsified. Otherwise, how would he be able to get his hands on firearms? It's not exactly Heavens favorite type of weapon to provide people, particularly not shinki. ]
no subject
[His temple is literally made of gold, after all.]
no subject
I'd say that all that matters is that it works and doesn't break down on us, but I guess that if you wanted to you could rent the nicest and most expensive one we might find.
no subject
[He might just want to indulge a little and have some fun while he's here.]
no subject
Then one that'd be worth the experience would sure be for the best.
[ A voice calls into the carriage, informing them that they'll be arriving at their station soon. ]
Oh. We'll be out in ten minutes or so, it seems.
no subject
Oh, how exciting! I really should get out more often.
no subject
no subject
[He smiles at the thought before turning his eyes to the window.]
Oh, I think we're almost there.
no subject
[ They've been here a while, so they have probably had some stuff out to pass the time. ]
no subject
All right. I'm ready when you are.
no subject
I am, now we just gotta wait for the train to stop and, [ He glances around at the people around them who are also collecting their things. ] maybe linger just a few, so we don't get separated by the crowd.
