Re: Zoo scouting party [Melissa, Jenn, Mina]
Joseph quickly made his way past the market area, running through the pair of fountains on both sides of him, his shoes clicking against the tiling on the ground, until he was in between two lion statues. He looked from one statue to the other, and pulled out his radio, and clicking it on.
"Hey, it's me," he announced, "I'm in the market area, and I think I've lost those freaks that were following me,"
The girl on the other end sighed with relief, "I'm so glad to hear you're safe, Joseph," she said with relief in her voice, "So, have you seen any sign of her? Or was this really just a trap?"
Joseph sighed, not thinking this was actually a trap, because if it was, it was a poor one, "I don't know where that woman is keeping her, and she doesn't seem to be here..." he trailed off for a second, then picked back up when the girl on the other end didn't reply, "The city's obviously clear, what with those herms walking around, and I'm beginning to think this zoo is as well, which leaves the residential district,"
"Hmm," the girl thought aloud over the radio, "Joseph... You know we're running out of time... If we don't stop the God from being born-"
"Ain't gonna happen, not as long as I'm breathing, that is," he interrupted her, heaving a sigh, "Alright, I'm gonna search around the rest of this place, then I'll head back, alright?"
"Okay, be careful," she told him with concern.
Shutting the radio off, Joseph let out a sigh. He pocketed the radio in his pack, and continued at a walk, going north through the market district...
(Joseph is about to escape, both parties will fail their objectives if he gets away)

Aya suddenly felt a pain in her head, and was forced to cup her forehead in agony, as she heard the Goddess's voice in her head...
"Pursue the boy, you fool!" she cursed Aya, "Pay no heed to the ignorant sinful! Make haste, or we all will pay a heavy price!" she warned her.
