So after Ofelia's talk with Melvin about artifacts and everything else the redhead decided that she was going to get one. There would be no ifs or whatever about it, she was going to have one and that was the end of it. In order to get that done though apparently research was needed and Ofelia holding up a poor Life trainee and asking them about it only had her sent to the library.
A place she considered her mortal enemy (among other things). There were many books there, lots of them pretty looking and nice, and the redhead pulled one from a section at random and opened it up.
She was drowning in words what was even. Instantly her phone was pulled out and she sent a message to the person she liked a good deal.

Ironically enough, if Ofelia would listen carefully she would hear a buzzing sound behind one of the book shelves, signifying that someone got a text. A few seconds later, a blonde head emerged from the shelf, as Jason walked out while reading the text. He was quick to realize who 'Bakebro' was, and assumed that she would be in the kitchen having trouble reading a recipe. Thankfully he had looked around before walking off, spying Ofelia nearby with a open book. "Ah! There you are." He changed directions, taking a few strikes and was quickly standing near her. "You having trouble with a recipe?" He asked asked, trying to see what kind it was. Perhaps some sort of dinner?

Ofelia looked up top see Jason and a grin spread on her face. He was so smart to find her in the library considering she hadn't said where she was (and she hadn't noticed the sound to start with) and the blonde got a massive thumbs up from the hunter. "Nah, not food - artifacts. Or whatever what means." Ofelia moved so she could show the book to her companion. "Melvin an' company were talkin' 'bout 'em an' Ah really want one. Trouble is mah readin' skills are still pretty s**t when it comes ta all these big words."
Poor Jason got a wolfish grin directed his way. "S'where ya come in. Read it up fer me an' come along wit' me on the this adventure."

"Artifacts?" Jason blinked, confused as to why Ofelia would be looking up such a topic. It didn't seem like he knew anything more then she did. Actually, he knew less. "Like some sort of clay pot, or...." He looked even more confused when he heard talk of other hunters wanting one. Just why would a hunter want some ancient relic was beyond him. Unless it was a halloween one, and the life division wanted to study it. With the talk about 'adventure', Jason seemed troubled. 'adventure' usually meant 'mission' which also meant 'life or death situation involving things that wanted to kill him.' And he was not very keen. But then he was pretty bad at saying no.... "L-let me have a look..." He gently took the book from her, opening it up and scanning the pages as he quickly read the information located within. "It's talking about some place in the desert. buried tomb thats been there for thousands of years. It belonged to a ancient civilization..Not sure which, maybe it's Egyptian or Mayan...."

"Yeah, artifacts! From what Ah understand they're cool items that can be used durin' battles or durin' everyday life fer random things!" The excitement in the hunter's tone of voice could not be mistaken and she had to calm herself from jumping on the poor Moon as she looked over his shoulder at what he was reading. The way the words came out of his mouth as he talked about it had her so very certain that this was going to be an amazing thing. "Buried tomb? Ya mean like those places mummies an' stuff are from?"
The redhead could already see herself, torch in hand, fighting through swaths of mummies while dressed like an adventurous fellow in a fedora. It was almost too good to be true. Of course somehow Jason had made it into her imagination as well though he looked significantly less happy than she did. Still he was there and he would not ruin her imagined scenario. Never. "Does it say anythin' else? A place like that has gotta have some kinda artifacts in it, or at least sommin' worthwhile on lookin' fer. Ah been gettin' so cramped inside this place Ah jus' wanna get out an' have fun."
Already she could feel the sun and sand. They needed to go now.

It finally dawned on Jason just what she meant. "Oh! Is that what they do?" He asked, curiosity slight peaked. He even forgot about the dangers until Ofelia pointed it out. "Oh...yeah...I believe so..."
While Ofelia was having her fantasy, the moon trainee shivered with his own horror filled nightmare. He then snapped out of it to look at the book some more. "Umm, it says that these tombs holds treasures beyond your wildest dreams, and some are so powerful they were even used by the gods"

That settled it. Settled it 100%. "Okay so how do we get there?" There was no I or me or anything as Ofelia made it clear again that Jason was going to be tagging along with her. "Ah'm pretty sure that Deus has a weird portal system hooked up somehow 'cause Ah seriously doubt they'd have a book wit' this information in it an' no way'a gettin' inta it."
It would be silly to think that Deus would just dangle this stuff out there. If there was a chance for people to find something and/or die in the process then there was no way it wouldn't be listed. That would be like Cael whatever his name was having a good day - such things did not happen. Ever. Ever.
"Ah wonder if Ah should bring snacks or sommin' wit' us when we go. Dunno how long it'll take an' if we get hungry wouldn't it be good to have food?" Ofelia wasn't even thinking about the danger that could clearly be present.

Jason was sure now that there would be no way of getting out of this, so he sighed, looking through the book some more for answers. He may as well get this over and done with quickly and hope it wasn't going to hurt. Too much "By the sounds of it, this place is located somewhere in Egypt, but the entrance is buried. So we'll first need a portal to get there. Though I don't believe there would be any portals in Deus Ex..." Zanthvos cooed in his head.
'Huh? you actually know how to get there?!'
Jason sat there looking a little pale now. "...Zanth says we should go to halloween to get to the tombs..." He made no comment about weather to bring snacks, as he didn't feel like food at this moment.

"Go ta Halloween, eh? Are we gonna need ta get inta golems first or is it jus' a show up an' run sorta thing?" Ofelia tapped her chin with her fingers, thinking hard on the subject. This was probably the most thought she was ever going to put into something and so that meant she wasn't going to think much beyond that. "Desert means temperatures will be hot, we need ta take inta account protection against exposure or whatever. Also if we find somethin' we'll need a way ta carry it back in one piece."
A list of items started to roll itself inside her mind and it took her a moment before she looked over to Jason. " . . . .are ya gonna be okay?" That was all she asked because it was still clear he was coming along. The only difference would be free will.

He shook his head. "I don't believe so. We can't fight in golems, and I don't know how they'll fair in a desert. Which means we'll have to go to Halloween as ourselves, and find the entrance quickly. We'll have about 30 minutes to get there. Jason then nodded as Ofelia talked about the environment they would be heading into. "Our coats should provide some protection, and we'll need hats and sunglasses as well. As for carrying it back, a backpack should be enough. Though weather or not he would be okay was something else entirely. "I'll be fine" He lied. Even if he didn't think it, he loathed to admit it to anyone. Even if it was obvious to some.

"Ya sure? 'Cause Ah mean yer comin' wit' me anyway but Ah'd hate fer ya ta go an' not have a good time. Adventure is what life is all 'bout an' goin' like this is sure ta brighten things up fer ya." Ofelia totally didn't mentioned the underlying if you'd died I'd feel bad for forcing you along that was the elephant in the room. "An' honestly Ah'd rather have no one else wit' me. Yer a good person an' yer not really scared ta try things." The sun hunter maybe sounded like she was buttering him up or something but that wasn't entirely true. At the very least she was speaking the truth.
Anyway they needed to move on. "Wanna meet up this evenin' an' head out? The desert might be cooler at night an' it'll give us time ta get the stuff we need ready."

Jason wasn't sure why she was asking him if he was sure, since she was going to make him come anyway. Though it begged the question as to what she would do if he hadn't said he was sure. At least she felt confident in his abilities, even if he didn't. The moon trainee then grimaced as if something was hurting him. In reality as soon as Ofelia had suggested he wasn't scared, his head echoed with the sounds of his weapons laughter. As usual he tried not to think about his impending doom (and failed miserably), as he nodded. "Yeah, moving at night would be wiser." And ten times more frightening as it would be dark, but it wasn't like he had nay say in this anyway.

Nighttime came and Ofelia was at the portal that would take them both to Halloween. She was excited and dressed.....pretty good for where they were going. Boots instead of flip flops, form fitting pants instead of shorts. She even was wearing a thin cover for her arms instead of the usual bikini.
The redhead was ready.

Jason turned up looking pale and like he had spent his time curled up in his bed (knowing him, he probably did), but at least he was prepared. His usual coat was on, followed by a broad hat (that funnily looked like a Indiana Jones hat...) The blonde wanted to go back to bed.

Ofelia took Jason's hand and lead him into the portals.
IT WAS ADVENTURE TIME.
