Mage nodded, wondering who Vincent was anyway. She stayed quiet, as to not offend her new friend. Hestia held Akira a little tighter, humming and rocking Akira back and forth. "Saix, go on ahead. I'll take care of Sweet little Akira." she brushed the dark entity's hair with her fingers. "If she doesn't love you, I do. And a lot of other people do." Ashir sat by his mother, nodding that it would be best if he just went to find Mage.
"Akira!" Hestia hurried over, Parma wrapping herself around the dear girl like a shawl. Ashir watched, sadly watching. "Shh, shh, it's okay. Let's get out of here. It's too dark..." Hestia cradled the Dark Kingdom Hearts, humming softly. Mage shook her head. "No, never heard of him." She looked to the sky, watching a few clouds float by. "Cloud. I've never heard of someone being named from a thing in the sky."
Hestia blinked in surprise, jumping in with Ashir and Parma. "Don't leave us behind!" She was having a hard time keeping up with Saix, as with Ashir and Parma, since two were still getting used to walking with the Long Fall Boots. Mage blinked, nodding. "W-Where are we going?" She followed, nervous. "My name is Mage, by the way." She showed her keyblade, still in her right and weakened hand. "And this is Nightmare." Walking was starting to get annoying with these white boots.
Hestia and Ashir glanced at each other with guilty eyes. "No. Mage escaped the Aperture Science facility on her own. She must have been using the Corridors." Hestia sighed once more. "Just be glad she escaped. She's a bit more visible now, since she's dressed like us." Mage glanced at Cloud, blinking. "Hello." She waved a sheepish hello, unsure what to do. "I-I was just curious... Have you seen someone? Tall, blue hair, X scar... Black coat? Erm... Organization XIII, his name is Saix. Please, can you help and tell me if he's in this world?" Her sweet, odd eyes begged the spiky blond. She looked as much a lost pup as Saix.
Juno answered Martel cooly. "We don't worry about them. Or more, we try not to think about it." She leaned a bit closer to whisper the last unfortunate part. "Some of us here are escapees from lost worlds."
"I miss Saix..." Mage sighed heavily, a heavy weight in her heart. She stepped out to Hollow Bastion, wondering if Merlin was around. She remembered her old caretaker, smiling. Maybe he had new books. Hestia walked around, her little group of neon orange jumpsuits and white boots. She looked in her pockets for any munny, finding none. "Damn. Can't get that ice-cream..." Ashir heard some children wail at the sound of fierce growls, looking around the shop to see Saix in a very bad mood. The bad stench of bad, conflicted, hurt energy filled his nostrils. He could only sadly sigh, keeping himself quiet. Hestia twitched at the sound of crying children, looking to see their cause. It was Saix, strangely. "Oi! No scaring the kids!" she yelled at him, not even able to smell his conflicted energy. "Saix, there is no reason to growl at the poor dears, so calm down!"
Eden firmed her gaze. "If it acts up, let me know." She was worried about Wesely, wondering why his hand was shaking.
Mage nodded, wondering what world she would need to explore... Maybe one with more people. "Sorry Terra, Aqua, but I really need to go find Saix... I'll see you again, hopefully." She opened up a dark corridor, going towards Hollow Bastion, summoning Nightmare in her human form. She sadly sighed, feeling a bit empty again. Hestia sighed in defeat, getting out of her body-Ashir catching it- and forming a portal from the shadow of Ashir. All three came through, closing it quickly and rested within the darkness. Hestia returned to her body, breathing deeply. "Not fun. Not fun." she huffed. She got up, her boots(the same ones Mage had on) were keeping her up again. Ashir wore similar boots, modified for his weight, and went on. "Let's go get some ice-cream. Something not white. How does that sound?" Ashir nodded, mumbling to himself. So their destination was set, Twilight Town.
ooc:.... Did Saix jack Luxord's liquor stash? B( bic: Mage mimicked Terra, looking just as threatening. She wondered on how to fight with Nightmare in her mouth. Hestia collected her son(miraculously finding Parma around the inner walls) and checked her surroundings. "No turrets... No way to portal to another world... This is a problem..." She grimaced, cooing Ashir to calm down from his frantic and nervous mutterings and twitching. "Calm down. We need to get out of here. At least there's nothing white." she reassured him, causing the hybrid to keep quiet. "Miss, could you be able to summon a portal out?" Parma asked, with a hint of hope. "No, no I don't think I could without leaving the body..." Hestia pursed her lips with frustration.
Mage quietly nodded, sighing sadly. "Alright... Maybe I'll go to some of the other worlds to find him later. Let's find Aqua and Ven first." She went ahead, looking about, contemplating what Saix could be doing right now.
"I wouldn't forget you... Hopefully." Mage added that last part quietly, as to not offend the only familiar face around. "Do you have any idea about where I can find Saix? I miss him a bit..." she tried to play it a bit cool, trying not to fluster about when speaking about the Berserker.
Eden held Wesely's shaking hand as well, worried. "Wesely? W-What's wrong with your hand?" she whimpered a bit.
"I'll help you find her... Is that okay, Terra?" With Nightmare dismissed, she could freely talk without a Keyblade in her mouth. She yawned, wondering how she could be so groggy from so much sleep.
"I escaped from some room... I'm just looking for Saix again, I miss him." Mage went back to Nightmare, the back paws springing in a ready to jump position. The whole foot never could just touch the ground. "Some Aperture place I guess... Something Vexen would like."
Mage perked up, finally! Someone familiar! She tried running to him, but the boots seemed to bounce at the impact to the ground, bouncing a bit causing their wearer to lose balance and basically do a cartwheel-spitting out Nightmare in mid-wheel. "Oww...." She moaned in pain. "T-Terra.... Walking like this isn't fun." Hestia patrolled the facilities, her handiwork trying to weaken Her defenses. "Try killing me now..." she growled with pride, looking for her son again. She found him, trying to access the room through the system. Sadly, she wasn't that smart. Luckily, a test subject had been in that room once and escaped by breaking a wall. "Yes... Baby, I'm coming! Momma's comin'!" she yelled, running to the test chamber as soon as possible before her son finally went too far.
Mage went into a sort of pounce mode, trying to look as scary as possible. Due to the natural body's instincts, black claws portruded from her paws. Her boot's (to which she still had no idea what purpose they held other then being annoying) springs curved as her back paws did, seemingly ready to start bouncing. Oh she was ready~.
Better then being locked in a boring r- Mage paused, looking at herself a moment. Noticing the white boots and spring modified to attach to her back paws, she sighed in defeat. Yep, those boots are still there. She wondered what their function was.
I'm not too sure... I guess something to do with big cats. Mage looked around. It was quite hot. She walked slowly to the large pointed rock, a landmark to stay at.
Mage picked up her keyblade(regrettably by mouth) and nodded. I forgive you. She hummed to Nightmare, since a full mouth was hard to understand. It all happened so fast...
Mage dropped Nightmare, unable to use paws as hands anyway. "Nightmare!?" she mewed, panicked. "I-Is something wrong?" she examined the keyblade, unsure what she was looking for.
