Group 1 - Protect the Guild After having witnessed the complete obliteration of the s-class members, Lucia was pretty spooked out about this whole, Ezekiel wanting to blow up the entire guild thing. After all, here she was, a member of a guild that she hadn't even been on one full mission of, and yet now it was already being threatened to be blown up. Also a guild being threatened with obliteration didn't even seem like a normal thing at all. Wasn't there like, a council of people who should be being notified and taking care of this? Regardless of that, it was now their time to defend the guild, and while she was feeling nervous, she knew this was the perfect time to totally try and be a hero. After all, that was why she was in this guild to being with, right? No seriously, was it? I've completely forgotten my own character's motivation and this is basically just filler because I don't want to dive IMMEDIATELY into a battle...Whatever. Psyching herself up, Lucia drew out her knives and then immediately reconsidered using them because of what she was fighting. To be perfectly honest, none of the enemies seemed particularly beefy. The crocodile, surprisingly enough, seemed like it had just as much vitality as the skeleton. That was weird. Regardless, deciding to attack everything at once with a spell rather than just one thing at a time, she cast her wind spell directed at the crocodile. Tldr; Lucia used Aero on the Crocodile.
Stratos was next up in the list of people who had to go in and fruitlessly kill these brooms. With Beuce's strategy of calling an almighty laser of heavenly destruction that obliterated them...which did absolutely nothing. At all. Like actually, how the hell were they supposed to be able get anywhere in this fight? Then there was Karina who seemed to be absolutely done with this fight and managed to throw a broom so hard it exploded on impact, or something, and caused eight more to reproduce. This fight was going absolutely stellar. Well, what was Stratos to do now? Perhaps they could just throw the brooms out the window and throw them off the face of the world. Yeah, that was a plan if ever there was one. Walking over to one of the brooms, he quickly gripped the wooden part of it, and started to try to pull it off the ground. How ever, not only was the broom way heavier than he thought, (and Stratos had virtually no strength to speak of anyway,) but as he tried to lift it up, he simply slid on the floor and fell down. As his butt hit the ground, water splashed all around him and had completely soaked his attire. Well, that was something. So the ever flooding floor was making it much harder to actually grab and throw the brooms out the window, so he had to think of something else to do. Something more elaborate and calculated. Trying to pick himself up, though slipping around a bit before actually getting managing to get up, his genius plan was about to be enacted. Calling the keyblade back to his hand, he walked over to the conga line of brooms that were dumping water around. He started to do all the calculations within his head, thinking of all the different angles that were involved, the wind speed, the force of gravity, acceleration, weight, and all that other physics mumbo jumbo that his rper was the best ****ing ever person at. When he had acquired the proper positioning, he brought the keyblade down to his feet, holding it with both hands. He took a deep breath and exhaled, bringing his keyblade up in an arc, and looking dead set at his target. Getting the correct timing down on this broom, he then brought his keyblade down in a hard line drive at the cleaning utensil. He then started to get into the swing of things and just kept striking his keyblade at brooms like he was some sort of pro level golfer. In his head, Stratos had totally figured that he had been hitting the brooms with such force that they had been getting flung out the window and their troubles were going with them. What he didn't realize, was that what was actually happening was the blade part of the keyblade. When he was striking the brooms with his blade what was actually happening was that he was slicing them in half, rather than knocking them away, and they were simply falling to the ground, floating away in the water. A bit after this, Stratos saw fourteen brooms rise from the water. It was like a zombie apocalypse with brooms...if zombies divided with death rather than died...a second time. Well, it was back to the drawing board with ideas on how to kill this unstoppable broom army. Stratos went to sit down and think on this, only to realize that he was now partially submerged. Even that plan failed. Well, regardless, he then went back to the drawing board on things to do about the brooms. 609 Words, 30 EXP Total: 44 EXP 39/150 Brooms
Lucia for Group 1
Bear Arms Nothing To Be Done When Justice Was Left Behind Dahkness The not so Menace The greatest battle of all nature kind had begun. As Lucibear had charged on all fours towards the shadow lion, the shadow lion itself started to reciprocate this action. As the lion got close enough, it leaped into the air in an attempt to pounce on the frigidly flaming bear. Lucien responded in kind by bringing his two paws up, putting them against the belly of the airborne lion, and flinging it over his back. The lion landed on all fours and skid to a halt as it was flung, ready to charge at him again. With that, it had begun running at him full speed, however Lucien stood there just giving it a rather unamused look. Once it got close enough to pounce on him once more, he roared at it, creating a ripple in the air. As the ripple passed through the air, the lion found itself slowed and the bear took its claws and swiped straight across the face of the beast, knocking it aside. While the lion did become airborne from this, it managed to spin around, allowing itself to land back on all fours again. Lucien gave a rather annoyed look at the beast. While he was getting ready to go and attack this thing once more, his attention was diverted to the fight that was going on against Eigo. Hunter seemed to be able to hold his own against the aggron look-a-like, but still seemed to be in need of some help. It was then that Beuce seemed to go in and help...only to immediately rip Hunter's head from his body. While the gruesome scene had just taken place before his very eyes, he started to twitch with annoyance at the two, only to be interrupted by the shadow lion's claws slashing across his bear skin, and nicking his armor a tad. Feeling the pain course through his arm, he quickly looked back to the lion and swiped at it, only for the lion to hop back and vault straight at him, hitting him square in the gut. The bear, however, did not waver in his stance, and punched at the lion's head, stunning it from the sheer force. He then wrapped his arms around the lion, giving it a real bear hug, spun, and threw it against the cave wall. With the lion subdued for the time being, Lucien looked back to the others of his party only to see that...Hunter killed fucking Beuce. His expression start contort into one of more and more annoyance only to eventually reach sheer anger. He was getting sick of their team killing antics and had basically came to the conclusion that Ego being inactive was literally the only thing that kept them from losing this fight...that and plot armor. But that could only get one so fa- he suddenly let out a roar of both anger and pain at the lion sunk its claws into his back, and started biting at his neck. The bear was starting to get really sick and tired of this stupid lion. While it hadn't hit anywhere vital, really because it wasn't supposed to, Lucien still did not feel like reciprocating that at all. Striking back with great force, a claw greeted the lion's face and forced it off of the bear's back. Turning around, the bear started to get rid of any injury he had acquired this fight some sort of green healing light. The lion didn't seem to understand this that well, but still decided that more force was needed to subdue the bear. Cracking his...knuckles? (do bears have those?) Lucien simply said,"now then World Boss. You're about to find out why people want to limit the second amendment." Rinox had just sort of been standing alongside the other members of the group as more and more nobodies seemed to pile in. The castle seemed to be absolutely teaming with them, and it was quite refreshing to watch other people fight. Magic of all kind was being flung at these creatures, and one person in particular seemed to use a rather impressive magic of pulling a flower shield out of a girl's chest. Well that was certainly different. With the fights going on, the group had eventually made their way into an elevator, which only served to have more of the nobodies spawn in on them. While the other members of the group seemed to go to work on the new set of enemies. However, the dark boy, kaleidoscope girl and Zephyr all managed to hold their own against them. Not really seeing a need to do any sort of fighting whatsoever, Rinox had just stood back and watched, until he was confronted by a samurai nobody. It seemed to want to duel him, as if it had some sort of sense of purpose of beating another samurai like nobody. Well, Rinox wasn't about to turn down this mindless creatures challenge. The seemed to enter a state in which time seemed relatively still for both of them. Rinox, with his on the hilt of his blade, pushed the blade out just a tad. In the next instant, Rinox's blade was completely sheathed and the samurai nobody had seemed pass straight through him with both blades out. Rinox didn't move an inch as the seemingly victorious samurai had suddenly split in two dissipated into nothingness. When the duel was done, the elevator had seemed to reach its target destination. When the four emptied out, they were now at a bending staircase that seemed to go into a large room. Rinox continued to walk forward, directing the group in the direction when he said, "come now all, we've only made it halfway to our destination so far." Ein hadn't been doing much up to this point, but she was still rather unnerved here. Rinox's appearance had seemed to put her on edge, and Zavion's creation of that darkness bridge had not calmed her whatsoever. However, she was still willing to press onward with their quest and help find the hero with them if they were willing to do the same. While the group had been advancing throughout the castle, Ein had come to notice that something was off. The group seemed to be missing a few of its members. While she had no real connection to them, unplanned split ups usually lead to disastrous results. However, while she had realized this, the rest of the group had already started moving on. Worse yet, they were on an elevator, which meant it'd take some time to catch up with them if she did catch up. Having been left behind, she walked back, trying to find out where the other members were, when the sounds of battle could be heard outside. Rushing over to aid, she drew her blade and charged forward to the scene. There, there was two nobodies, both being a lifeless body being dragged around by a hammer, fighting against one of the party members who now had a flower shield. She immediately leaped to his assistance by charging her blade with light and lunging forward. Unleashing her sonic blade type skill, Light Ray, she continued dashing and stabbing through both of the nobodies until they had been reduced to nothingness. With the fight done for now, she said, "it appears we have been separated from the rest of our party. We would do well to either take the same path that they had or forge ahead on a different one to the top of the castle. What say you three?" The group was now in the middle of a group of heartless, now engaged in their adventurous combat. Jackie had gone up to bat against a singular neoshadow. The beast leaped out of the shadows and dove straight at the girl, only Jackie just to point her blade upward, raise it a tad and wait. The neoshadow ended up just impaling itself against the blade, exploding in shadows afterwards. Well that was easy. Jackie then watched in awe as the other members of her group went to go kill the dark beasts. Anadi seemed to use some funky weapon that didn't seem particularly sharp and just sort of appeared out of nowhere, but still was able to cut the opponents despite its odd shape. Then there was Ghost who did stuff that...well she actually couldn't really keep track of what he was doing. Though while she was spacing out another group of heartless had jumped at her. Taken by surprise she didn't have time to react to this, only so that they had all been suspended in mid, and were all soon pulled together, crumpling into a little ball of darkness. Blanc walked over and grabbed the ball, effortlessly crushing it in his grasp. He looked towards the rest of the heartless, ready to get rid of them as well, when suddenly a murder of crows had flown in and wrecked havoc upon all the remaining heartless. Jackie looked at the being, who had introduced himself...sort of...and suddenly felt on edge. She couldn't quite put it into words, but it felt as though there was a bit of a chill in the air. However, she quickly shook this off and said, "well then, welcome there Mr. Halloween Town," having no better name to give him at the moment. "Now then, forward march search party!" As she began to walk along she looked to Anadi and asked, "so what was that weird weapon thingy you were using to kill them heartless with?" As the group continued onward, she then turned towards Mr. Halloween Town and asked, "also, you live here right? Know any place close that has like, caves or something some legendary being would be hidden in?" Hearing just what his job was, he gave a quick salute to the goddess and looked at the two companions he had. One who was a man that he could swear just randomly looked different every now and then, and the other was a giant shadowy stingray. He had no idea why a stingray was what they were going to use as scare tactic against a band of hero hunters, but hey, she was the goddess so who was he to question her. Getting onto the shadow stingray as well, he and Avi were then sent off to the World that Never Was, with the stingray going through a dark corridor and bringing them to their target destination. Looking around the world, he took note of it. It seemed to be some sort of industrialized place, looking like a pretty lit up city with skyscrapers everywhere, a giant floating castle and a bottomless pit beneath the apparently floating city that lead to oblivion. Okay, so two out of those three things were not normal in the slightest, but he expected something weird from a world that apparently never existed in the first place. Now there was a problem he had realized while flying around. He had absolutely no idea where they were supposed to look for the hero hunters in this, actually pretty small world. Sure, Sapphire had narrowed it down to the castle, as the stingray really wanted to go there, but he wasn't about to aimlessly search a castle floating above a chasm. Then there was the issue that he had no idea what to do once they actually made contact with them. Doing what Ghost would do was the literal opposite of what Sapphire had wanted, but he doubt he could just be like "hey, could you just stop looking for the hero or something, that'd be swell." Regardless, he flew the stingray, along with Avi on top of it, to the top of the castle, and decided to just wait there. He thought it was a good idea to wait at one of the more prominent places of the castle if they were just going to wait for the hero hunters to come to them.
Char for the first group
Stratos had been pretty much just following along everyone up the stairs when they had suddenly found out just who was up the stairs. It was a very familiar looking mouse who seemed to be in quite a panic. Now, while he had obviously never met the guy, he did think he looked vaguely similar to the mouse in the pictures at Mickey's house...which would probably make this their great book thief. Though, asking him about the book right now seemed to be a bit of a stretch as he was more worried about this current broom throwing water all over the place. When the mouse had had enough of the broom's antics, he mercilessly chopped it to bits, which actually seemed more morbid than it probably should have, but the broom just seemed to cell divide. Regardless, the lot of them were now in charge of getting rid of all these brooms, and with that, Glen tried to do some badass combos to destroy them all. However, that only seemed to make the two brooms replicate even more. So Stratos was now up and tried to think of a good way to take on these brooms. If mutilating them wasn't a good strategy, and expunging them from existence with various flashy moves wasn't...then maybe trying to take them out in a single swift strike was. Prepping himself, he summoned his keyblade, and brought it to his side. With cherry blossoms falling from the sky he closed his eyes, only to reopen them with him appearing on the other side of them. The four brooms had been all cleanly cut in half, all at once...However when he looked back there was suddenly eight brooms there now. Well that sucked. 8/150 Brooms.
Titan chain for Lucia (0 Munny left) Gaia Bangle for Charlotte (100 Munny left)
Charlotte storming the guild with righteous glory. Lucia for the defense.
Stratos had been idly sitting by as suddenly the blonde haired girl introduced herself as Aliv- er, Kaida. That was her name. It was then that another person, Base, had come along as well, looking to see what everyone was up to. Karina then went into both explaining to Kaida what they were doing all while chastising her for not being there to help them in the battle of a thousand heartless, which he could totally get. In the midst of her explanaition she ended up doing something that caused her to just vanish into thin air. What? Stratos was scratching his head at this, only for Glen to start saying something about how they should probably just not go after Karina, only for Stratos to give him an unamused look. While Glen was thinking about something, he also vanished in flash of light. Base also vanished after touching the wall, and Stratos was just basically wondering where they had all gone, but it was getting obvious how they had vanished. Picking himself up, he gave a quick salute to the girl and said, "hey there Kaida, name's Stratos. Pleasure to meet you. Now then, guess it's time to figure out what this does." He placed his palm against the mark only to see himself in a completely different area than before. Just sort of appearing, Stratos was puzzled by his new surroundings, only to realize that it looked all too familiar. Almost like he had been here not too long ago. Ah well, probably a coincidence. As he tried to think on this, his thoughts were quickly interrupted by the feeling of water just dropping down on his head. As he looked up, he saw that water was leaking from the floor above and quickly used his counter rain measures in this scenario. Also known as...putting up his hood. Looking around, he didn't see Kaida or Beuce yet, but he did see the other three. Quickly following behind, he heard what Base was saying and said, "eh, don't let those kind of hazes bog you down too much. I find myself in those sometimes whenever I don't have an immediate objective to do."
Stratos going to the symphony of the sorcery.
Where Nothing Exists Bear and Bird Apprentice to Speed Boost A Wanderer is Usually Lost Rinox had raised an eyebrow as the bridge had been formed by the black and red haired boy, one made entirely out of darkness. Not only was he the inventive one, but he was also unnaturally strong with darkness. Also, he found entirely too amusing how he did this whole showy feat of strength, when they all totally could have just made a dark corridor into the castle, but he'd keep that to himself for now. As they walked into the castle, he felt some sense of foreboding. Not really anything different with the place, to be perfeclty honest. The castle of this world had always been one that had an ominous sense, though that might have been due to its late master being one of the largest masterminds in known history. Regardless of this, the girl who had shared the opposite color scheme of the boy who made the bridge, seemed to be worried about something that she had seen. As the castle had been long since abandoned, and any form of actual chain of command disbanded for his kind, the only residents of the castle could be referred to as strays. Beings that couldn't form into one that could think, quite like himself, and had nowhere to go. They just continued to linger here, and it appeared the boy with the odd sword did not like them. As he charged at one that had been sighted, it seemed to have vanished into nothingness and Rinox just said, "now now, those aren't anything to be horribly afraid of. No more than your common heartless really. However, you should probably ready yourself because more are going to be abound. Anyway, you guys seem to be searching for something here, or at least in this world. So probably your best bet to see if you can find anything unusual in this world in general would be to just get to the top of the castle and look from there. Great view of the entire world if I do say so myself." With that, he had waited to see if the group would go along with his decision. Lucien had hung there, clearly bored out of his wits at these newcomers arrivals. The adorable armored bear and the bird hadn't done much in awhile, but that was because Stratos was just following the lead of everyone else and Lucien just wasn't amused with anything. Not only did they have Gwen to deal with, but now there was another person encroaching on the fourth wall territory. Apparently this was some sort of trend that people really wanted to follow, and he wasn't even that big of a fan of the people who were already experienced at this stuff. However, those all took a back seat to some weird hyena, shadow lion and aggron given some megalomaniac human form. Honestly the shit storm of things that continued to unamuse him just piled up one after another. However, Hunter died, and that was pretty unexpected. Granted, he was almost positive that his title would go from the Bloodthirster to the Guardian Angel. Meanwhile, Beuce had stopped being some happy go lucky chibi lion to a lion ready to delete everything in the given area. As Mr. Ego had started to entrap others, he went on about stuff, things like making all of their loved ones suffer, torturing them all, that kind of stuff. Lucien didn't actually know much about this whole, "Goddess is Evil" situation, given that he had appeared in this world like, hours ago. However, he was almost positive that there was probably some sort of misunderstanding and that the goddess wasn't as master villain as everyone was making her out to be. But with people like Ego around, he totally understood where the common folk were getting this perception from. He was textbook Tyrannical Overlord's Police Force in just about every way. While he had been thinking about this, Hunter had come back to life in a much more evolved form than what he was before. He seemed to have Ego handled...probably. "Um, aren't you going to help those people out." The bear man had looked to the bird Stratos and said,"eh, they seemed to have it handled and it doesn't seem like my kind of fight." In all honesty, Lucien was all about fighting, it was just that, there was something that seemed annoying about these fights. The bear form probably had something to do with it, but he just waved his paw and said, "I'm sure you've got it handled as well. Just yell 'hasagi' or something as you attack and I'm sure people will die from it."Granted, he realized that it was actually probably a bad idea, given how strength was not exactly Stratos's forte. However, the bird was still not amused by this response and so Lucien said, "fine fine. Don't worry, I'll help them. I'll just take on the dumb shadow lion or something. After all, I'm pretty sure Bear vs Lion is one of natures more amusing match ups."Breaking free from the gravity bind, he did this while turning into a more fearsome form. Spoiler: Go Time "Alright big guy," he got on all fours and said, "let's rock." He then charged straight at the shadow lion, claws burning with icy fire as the fight between the two would start. Meanwhile Stratos had broken free from the gravity bind by simply making a wind current around himself and then launched himself into the air. Keeping himself up in the air, he looked around and had no idea who to help here. Everyone seemed to be 1v1ing the others, and they seemed to have a handle on it...probably. However the biggest threat seemed to be the gravity casting guy with the actual human form. So from above, he just casted Aerorza around Hunter, giving him a much more condensed than usual wind barrier, from the previous incarnations of the spell, that still created blades of wind that chopped at anything that close to him. A fitting buff for someone who was just hurling himself at people. After asking his question to the guy who had followed him from the bar, it took a few moments until he answered him, with nothing more than "information gathering." Well what the hell did that even mean? And how the hell was he even able to get this far into the palace of the goddess? Well that probably was part his fault and part lack of actual apparent security. While he would have responded to the boy, the things happening on the inside of the throne room seemed way more interesting. First there Eigo showing up out of nowhere and basically doing his weird police thing that he did. Phantom hadn't ever worked alongside him, but just seeing him around had been enough for him to get a good grip on what he was probably like. Then Gexln showed up and there was draaammaaaa aplenty. He had absolutely no idea why Gexln was so pissy with Sapphire, and was totally on her side, but she seemed to be super hurt by just about everything he had said. He totally would have continued on with questioning this guy, but he had like, absolutely no idea what he was supposed to ask to him, and kind of felt bad for the goddess right now. That and he had absolutely nothing to do either. The guy he was with then said something under his breath, but he didn't have any clue what that was. Regardless, he said, "well, I'm sure you've gotten what you wanted. Now, I mean, sneaking in here and eavesdropping on a conversation with the goddess herself is probably against the rules, but I don't really care. So yeah, either get a job here or get out is the best advice I can give you right now." With that he walked into the throne room and instantly felt super awkward. "So, is there anything you uh, want me to do, uh, ma'am?" Blanc listened as Anadi asked her question about his portal thing. "Well, it isn't a dark portal technique, and is instead one made simply from tearing open space itself. So really, think of it more as one of the more advanced tiers of space magic." He then continued to think on it and said, "so if I were to teach you, I'd probably have to teach you more about space magic in general, which I wouldn't mind." Blanc then looked around the odd purpley black realm of darkness that they were in after speaking for the longest amount of time he possibly ever has. Spoiler: Adventure Time However, ghost then spoke up and Jackie replied to him with fervor in her voice saying, "any better way of searching? Please, all we need is some sort of ADVENTUROUS SPIRIT and that's about all there is to it. After all, so long as one has a goal and a general idea and faith in their heart, they will eventually find what they are searching for." With the adventuruous glint in her eyes, she then turned to Anadi who had mentioned not wanting for the pit of darkness beneath them to attack them. "Silly Anadi, bottomless dark pits don't attack people." As she was leading the party along, they got to a more open plateau like area, in which droves of all kinds of pureblood heartless just appeared in on the scene. "Now those, those attack people." Blanc's attention turned to the creatures as he cracked his knuckles at the sight of them, whilst Jackie had unsheathed her black katana. "Alright folks, let's look alive. These are the common enemies in any dungeon that we must effortlessly overcome in order to get to the ending. So get your weapons brandished and your spirits burning!" With something that sounded like a mix of a battlecry and a "wheee" Jackie charged in at the heartless, with Blanc following behind her.
Everyone had been doing their own little thing to kill time within this Disney Town. Well, more so look for clues on where their great mouse culprit was as opposed to actually just straight up killing time. However, Stratos was one of those who had absolutely no idea what to look for. No one around seemed to actually know where this Mickey person was, and he was doubtful clues were going to just pop out of nowhere and be like "hey, this is where Mickey is." And so instead he decided to just see what this world had to offer him. He did all sorts of odds and ends within the town. Playing some weird sort of volley ball game...that involved giant fruit and smacking them with his keyblade. Then there was some sort of weird musical rhythm game and instead of being like some sort of DDR thing, he was just making giant stacks of ice cream scoops. And then there was the event that had kept him the busiest. Having gotten himself involved in some sort of racing event, he didn't really have a vehicle or anything, but they were totally fine with him racing on his keyglider. Interesting enough. Then there was his competition. None of them looked human in the slightest. And by human he meant not even the anthropomorphic kind that seemed to be all that existed within this world. No. These creatures seemed to actually more so resemble heartless, and he was a bit wary of them. However, that was his competition and they didn't seem particularly violent, nor did anyone seem to mind them at all. Whatever. Getting on his keyglider, he took off once the race had started and tried his best to get first. However, tried was as good as it was getting for him. On one of the turns, he managed to skid across the ground on his hover board like keyglider, only to get flung off of it and into one of the other contestants. The other contestant then just sort of hit him with some sort of spinning attack and it launched him out of the racing track. He then proceeded to fly across Disney Town and realized that if he didn't do something soon he was going to hit the ground pretty hard. He first hit cast aero around himself, giving a wind barrier around himself to cushion the fall. However, this was not good enough. He needed to make this fall more flashy than it needed to be. He swiftly cast fire at the ground before impact, propelling himself through the air and keeping himself afloat for a bit longer. He proceeded to do this once more, until he realized that he had now started spinning and couldn't really launch himself away from the ground properly anymore. He continued to fly until he finally hit the ground, with the air barrier taking the brunt of the impact. As he was acting like a skipping stone across the ground, he then cast blizzard on the ground, creating a slippery path, and started sliding across the ground rather than bouncing. It was then, as he got towards the end of this bouncing period, that he had accidently cast mine square around himself, and for whatever reason, it exploded and launched him further back into the air. Sailing through it once more, he finally landed with the air barrier popping as he landed, only to finally cast cure on himself and heal the injuries he just sustained from that flight. Looking up he saw the familiar faces of Beuce, Karina, Glen, and Steel (and maybe Kaida, I dunno.) Picking himself up and brushing off his clothes, he acted as if nothing had just happened and said, "so, what's the group up to now? You guys find any clues about Mickey's location?"
Vote for October goes to Base and November goes to D'daear.
Okay, so, Charlotte just be basic attacking this ghosts. That's all, GG, good day sir.
A screeching ceiling fan could be heard spinning around in a dimly lit office. There, with his feet on the table, sat a green haired man who could only sigh at the events that had transpired thus far. He seemed to be having much more on his plate, as the overall amount of shit that transpired in this city only grew. There was his long running case of hunting down this rebellion and snuffing it out before it got too big...or hell, even if it was too big shut it down anyway. Then there was this Hiro kid who managed to be labeled as an escaped convict. That and charges of grand arson were put up against him for burning down an entire building. Then there was the last of the major things he had to cover. A girl named Cierra who had escaped from a local prison. She didn't seem to be that big of a threat, and it wasn't like he was there to catch average criminals anyway, so clearly there was something more to her. Ah well, a job was a job. Though apparently he had to cooperate with someone with her arrest. Someone who went by the name of "The Warden." Weirdo. Letting out a sigh, he reluctantly pulled himself out of his seat and started his walk towards the Warden's prison. After a fair bit of walking, he had made it there with no such trouble, though his first impression of the place was not exaclty a pleasant one. As he walked further through the prison in search of his supposed partner for the case, he could just see chains hanging from the ceiling and all kinds of old fashion torture devices. After taking one whiff of the place, as it had the smell of blood across it. When he had seen the supposed man, clad all in black, he looked at him and said, "man, you're kind of fucked up in the head, aren't you?" After saying the comment he then followed up with, "so I'm supposed to help you in finding this Cierra person. So, what can you share about her?"
Taste the Rainbow Worst Assassin Where Nothing Lives ADVENTURE!!! As Anadi marched her way over to him, and accused him of being rude whilst finger pointing, Lucien could only give a look of contempt towards her. So she was one of those kinds of people, huh? After she had asked him he just flatly said, "ya know, you're a special kind of person."After that, she asked him if he had planned on journeying with her and two other characters that belonged to Skyheart, to which he said, "well I was originally planning on not going. Buuuut," he looked up to the ceiling, eyes full of thought, finger to his chin, foot tapping. After what seemed like a few seconds of contemplation he snapped back and with his look of annoyance he had before said,"I'm absolutely not going now. So on that note, see ya Seafoam." Hands in pocket, he started to walk away from her and then motioned at Stratos, "yo you're coming along too." Stratos simply shrugged, waved to rest of the people who weren't in his group and then walked away from the scene. As the duo had walked outside, Lucien had looked at what their ride was. As the people got into the blue police box, Lucien stood there, firmly, and said, "nope. No way am I traveling in that blue box of plagiarism." He didn't really have anything against the show, however, traveling in that TARDIS was something that he had no desire to do. Especially when it meant being trapped inside an effective prison with that trio. Not to mention, being Beuce's TARDIS, lord only knows what could be inside there. Stratos looked over at him and pondered for a second, "so how're you getting there then? I mean, do you have a keyglider? Can you open a corridor of darkness?" Lucien looked over to the kid and just asked,"wind boy, let me ask you something. What makes you think that I would have either of those things?" Stratos shrugged. "I dunno I just assum-" "And there in lies your problem."He swiftly cut off the kid before saying,"you assume things. And you know what they say about assuming?" Stratos was about to answer only for Lucien to cut him off again, "it makes donkeys come out of both of us." "I don't think that's how that sayi-" "Anyway. As to how I'm going to get there," he looked at Stratos and said,"I don't need any sort of all purpose key that, somewhere along the line decided it could turn into whatever the hell it wanted to. And I also don't need some sort of applied phlebotinum that just turns into portals. I have something much faster and much more efficient than either of those." Stratos was wondering what Lucien meant by that. Stratos and Lucien then managed to make their way to the Pride Lands, standing right where Beuce and co would end up. Stratos was startled by the fact that they were suddenly in a different location in basically an instant. He turned to Lucien and said, "how did you-" "Oh what the hell? Why do I have fur?"Lucien looked at his new form. He was a giant polar bear looking beast, completely clad in white fur and with menacing claws. Even more so interesting, he seemed to be wearing some kind of armor on him now."And why do I feel like killing Time Gods?"Lord only knew what would happen when the TARDIS *insert sound effect here*'d. He then looked at Stratos, who apparently had turned into some sort of blue bird that seemed to be totally badass with a crossbow. He had no idea why, but he just thought it would happen. Well, all that needed to happen now was to wait for the others to make their way there. As Phantom was leading Xero around to go to Sapphire's palace, he was suddenly asked who he was. More specifically he was asked if he was a mind rapist, which had apparently happened to her 300 years ago. "Wait, you actually met someone like that?" While he was curious, he was also taking into the fact that she was also drunk. Like, if your own defecation became your face level drunk. So, that just meant that she was probably just saying random shit at the moment. However, he didn't really know of a sort of alias that he could use in this situation, because despite that being something that was probably important to know in emergency situations, he had totally never put any thought to it. However, given who (or rather, what) Xero was talking to earlier, he simply said, "you can call me Dos Equis." Eventually the two had made their way to the palace, and there sat Sapphire in her throne. He didn't have any real thoughts on the goddess herself, just that being it was probably as much of a job as what he did was. Not to mention she was basically like his boss's boss, so there was that to go off as well. As she had alerted him that apparently he had been followed here by someone else. Looking back he saw it was the dude with magically shifting hair color that he had seen at the bar. As he was dismissed by the goddess to go talk to the kid, he simply waved back at her saying, "sure thing boss." As he made his way to the person, he said flatly, "so, what did you want?" Following close behind one of the groups, he had managed to go straight to where one of the groups had gone. While every group had something interesting about them, the Pride Lands group was out of the question, as was the Realm of Darkness group. This world, however, had a sense of comfort to it. As he were a heartless that were in the Realm of Darkness, this was the place where he could step out onto and he feel like he was in the proper realm. As the group had made their way out into the city, there was discussion amongst the entirety of the group. As the red haired girl spoke about how quiet the world was, a voice had come from the side of the group as the man it belonged to walked into view of the group, standing in front of them now. "Why of course of its quiet here. After all, this is a world where Nothing lives. And Nothing doesn't make much noise." He looked to the group with a calm smile on his face and said, "hello there~." However, Ein had seemed to be rather on edge since she had appeared in this world. The entire world had an ominous feeling to it, and this stranger did not help that feeling at all. In fact, he seemed to have the same ominous feeling the rest of the world had. Glaring at him, with an edge in her voice, she asked, "and who might you be?" "Me?" He pointed to himself with a look of surprise, before going back to his calm, saying, "I'm a bit of a wanderer and wanderer OP. A vagabond who goes from world to world, just to admire and learn. In fact, in my travels I even learned why you've come to this place. And if you're thinking of going to the castle, then I hope you have some sort way up it. The bridge that connected it is a bit out of order these days." He turned around and started walking towards it, before stopping and saying, "though if you were looking for a name, I suppose there's no harm in telling you. The name's Rinox, a pleasure to meet all of you." After Anadi had finished up talking with Lucien, she then Jackie to completely leave Ohm, behind. "I mean, I get what you're saying there, after all, socializing is one of the top tier skills of adventuring. However, leaving him just high and dry seems a bit-" she then noticed that the blue haired boy had just completely left with another group. "Well, that problem solved itself. Well, guess we should start getting a move on-" It was at that moment that Jackie noticed three new people who just waltzed in all late and stuff. What the hell was up with that man? Here they were, getting ready to go on a long journey quest thingy to find out where this hero was, and this trio just walks in like nothings happened at all. No sense of punctuality whatsoever. Regardless, she just yelled over to them and yelled, "yo! You three over there! Get your asses over here this instant!" After they had made their way over, Jackie said, "now then, you've missed the entire debriefing already about the legend of the hero and what not and all the other groups have already moved out. Which means you're stuck with us, looking through the realm of darkness. Introductions, I'm Jackie, our fearless leader. This guy here is our resident portal opener and muzzle maker, Blanc." She pointed to him to which he just waved at them. "And this right here is Anadi, resident...uh...Green haired person." She then pointed to the person that she knew pretty much nothing about, that being Anadi. "Now then, Blanc, if you would." He nodded his head, only to swipe his hand across the air in a horizontal fashion. A thin line appeared where his fingers had been, and a tear in space opened up, creating a hole large enough for the group to walk through. Once in there, Jackie looked around to see that the realm of darkness was...dark. It was literally just pitch blackness and magically lit roads that seemed to lead further into the blackness. "Onward adventurers. Our goal is to find a cave within this dark confines, and eradicate any heartless that dare strike at us." With that, they started to walk down the road.
eeyup
Mysterious Lybrith, because spelling. Charlotte had been rather unamused by the antics of both Gaius and Thomas thus far. She understood their want to gather information, however, the way the two had been conducting themselves while doing so was something entirely inappropriate. She simply continued to look onward, a look of contempt on her face at the two, until Mizuki and Mikasa had started to ask all sorts of different questions towards the butler. However, it wasn't too long before Mikasa herself was hit by a door slamming open and then ghosts were before each and every member of the guild. While this was, by no means a normal happenstance and this was also completely random, Charlotte hadn't said anything on that matter. No. Instead she said, "vile spirits that haunt this land. In the name of justice, I shall expunge your existence from this land. Begone!" With that, Charlotte jumped at her ghost using Quick Blitz.
Ellie had continued to casually eat her food as Zoey and Hana had their own conversation. They were going on about having a voice inside one's head and how exactly that was. In Ellie's case, the voice wasn't so much a guiding voice, so much as it was one that felt the need to set things ablaze and enjoy the fire it created. The fact that Nuriel was a fallen angel didn't seem that far fetched within the first few hours of their first communication with each other. In fact, she was surprised that being a fallen was all this guy was. No like, form of higher punishment or something, or whatever. After the explanation was given, Zoey seemed to understand just what was going on with their angels, she accidentally broke a plate, at which point she started to go on a tangent about how sorry she was. When Hana mentioned that they weren't freaked out in the slightest Ellie said, "yeah, I mean, I made a potato spontaneously catch fire earlier today, so this didn't freak me out either." As she said this, it was at that point her hand involuntarily sent out sparks which fell onto her own plate and ignited the food on there if only for a second. She looked at the plate for a bit, with nothing but contempt at it. "Come on, at least give it a chance." She pushed the plate away from her, completely unamused, and then looked back to Zoey and Hana. It was then that she missed something that Marvel did, but whatever it was, Molly seemed to go off on him for it. Served him right. Prick. After that, the bell had rung, and it was now time for everyone to go move off and go to their own classes now. She turned to Zoey and Molly/Hana and said, "well, see you guys later. Have fun at class." After that was over with, she quickly grabbed her bag, threw out her coal, and started walking off to class. It was now that she had to go and do some good old fashion Lit class. While she didn't mind the subject the professor was a bit...well she was nice...most of the time. Jin was listening to what Hwan had to say about the hands of humans. He was half paying attention to it while eating his rice out of the bowl, and then gave a slight nod to the other nephilim who had joined them. While Jin did ask the question, he wasn't exactly interested in just what Hwan was learning. Well, it more that he knew he wouldn't retain the information anyway. Regardless, the guy probably wanted to explain his findings anyway, and Jin was alright with just letting him talk about it. After swallowing another mouthful of food, in a monotone voice he simply said, "well, if you ever need a test subject, just ask, Doctor Hwan." As he said this, he gripped his wrist, as to draw more attention to his hand. When asked about what he had done for the day he said, "it's been sleepy. Kind of haven't left the room until now," he gave a simple shrug. "Just felt like one of those days." Before the other nephilim could answer, the bell had rung, and it was time for all to move onto class. "Huh, guess we should probably leave here now." However, rather than move, he simply kept eating calmly.
The blue color schemed individual had been a tad late to the party compared to everyone else. It wasn't necessarily his fault. It was just things like oversleeping and general lack of motivation to do anything in general. Not to mention he got lost partway through trying to find this meeting place, though that was mostly because he neglected to pay attention to any form of directions whatsoever, may have overslept, may have decided to do a ton of other things prior to this and maybe he was just a little bit lazy. Hell he even fought the address at one point...Okay, so maybe it was entirely his fault that he was late. As the platform came into view, he noticed that he, presumably, wasn't too late. There was still three people just standing around, as if they were waiting for their ride to come and pick them up. And so, not really wanting to press his luck any further, Ao had started to run as fast as he could towards the people. After doing so, he had managed to make it to everyone at breakneck speeds, planting his feet downward, and sliding across the ground before coming to a complete stop. After doing so, he said, albeit interlaced with his own panting to catch his breath, "he-hey there guys. How- how's everyone doing?"
