Following Aria's explanation of how they got there, Chrono thought about for a few moments and compared to what he was going to say, it was probably a better option that they could go with. Making a quite mental nod, he gestured over to her with his hands. "Pretty much what she said. We just happened to end up here. So not being thrown over board given where we are would be nice." Jim seemed to be pretty understanding given the fact that two people had just appeared from thin air onto the ship's deck.
When Chrys had first brought up that he knew something about having something that they all should know, he was expecting something...different then what was actually revealed to them. The fact that Ria was the one who had caused the memory and to an extent the pain that he experienced as a result of said memory had annoyed him. No more than his current batch of annoyance was toward Ria anyway. "One of us certainly played into his hands if that was the case." Chrono muttered, cutting a glance towards Cerdic. "Basically not only does Ria have control over the memories we get, but he looks like me as well." As if he needed something else Ria related to bug him. Chrono said nothing more than that as he waited for either Alder or Moira to take the lead. Who did it matter not to him, just as long as it was someone that knew what they were doing.
It was to no surprise that following his attack that got rid of of the the beowolves that they were facing, some of the ones that were still standing had turned their attention towards him. Had it been just one, then he would've continued to fight with only one of his swords. Two on the other hand was a different matter. If he was more confident in his skills then he would continued to fight with just a single blade, however his skills were only within the realm of self teaching and lacked any refinement of any teachings. Now having both his blades drawn out, he fended against the two beowolves that had attacked him to some degree. Their claws still did land hits on him that his aura mitigated the blow for. Their blow had made some distance between them, but not enough to prevent Lazuli from making a counter attack of his own. A quick step forward and his blade was already cutting through the first beowulf that had attacked him. The next one had only received a small cut across its chest, but it wasn't enough to deal any fatal damage. HP: 9 Grimm Defeated: 1 Beowulf Grimm Remaining: 5/10 Beowulf, Beowulf 3/4 Only one of the Beowulf had turned their focus towards him, which was fine. Despite the positioning he was because of his last attack, Vice could still easily adjust to account for the one Grimm that had attacked him. Before the beast could get away, the hammer itself was flipped so that the hammer part of his weapon collided with the grimm's gut. From there Vice spun his weapon and subsequently the Grimm until the latter had gone flying into another grimm. One was injured as a result of this and the other was defeated and had started the process of fading away to nothing. HP: 12 Grimm Defeated: Beowulf 4 Grimm Remaining: 3/10 Beowulf, Beowulf 1/4
Hearing Luna, Kel looked towards his now hare partner. "Probably so we don't draw in too much attention by being the only humans walking about here." Not too long after he had said that, they were joined by Stratos, Steel and Ignis, each in their own different animal form. Now they needed to find the first place that they needed to go too and somewhere with authority was as good of an idea as any. It worked backed in Sanfransokyo after all. "Its a good starting place, so let's get it a shot."
The fact that Aria had bowed before him really caught him by surprise. He did understand that she felt bad, but she didn't need to for his sake. "It's fine, I should've stayed with her instead of letting her go off on her own." He would still blame himself for that, but he would at the very least try not to dwell on that. Brooding right now wouldn't help anyone out. Chrono would have to move forward to make any progress. Kinda redundant to say that, but the point still stood. Nodding to affirm what Take had said, Chrono added in. "They should be on the other side of the ship, least Glyde went to check on Illiana."
How they there was the harder part to explain and before he could get around to do so the flash of light had caught his attention. Like Take his first thought upon seeing Torin was that he had returned with Tinarah. Naturally the idea of this brought a lot of hope for Chrono, yet it was too good to be true. The person accompanying Torrin wasn't Tinarah. However it was still a surprise nonetheless. He'd brought back Aria, the one that they all had thought was dead. When Chrono had made his way over there, he'd heard the summary of what had happened to Tinarah. Simply put, it didn't make him feel any better. Whoever the Light Chaser was had clearly lied to her and sent her off to who knows where. Dammit, just when I finally thought I had a chance of finding her. A deep sigh followed this thought. He couldn't get too down on himself. He would still find his sister, that was for certain. Tuning back into the conversation, he caught the back end of what Take had said. "Yeah, let's not cut off her arm or wrist."
The wait for the ale he had ordered was cut short and not because the tavern had some sort of excellent service and brought him his drink. Not to say that they didn't have excellent service or anything, it wasn't well shown on the other hand. Either way, the reason that the wait was cut short was because of the service, but as a result of Qrow showing up and kicking them out. You'd think that a bar would be where he was at his happiest. Before they were completely ushered out, he quickly slipped a note to the bartender. A note that simply read 'I'll be back for my ale.' The next day had started off with the simple intention of having them find some sort of relic thing. That did not last long before they had to deal with an oncoming threat of grimm. To combat this threat the students themselves would be dispatched to deal with them. His team would be dealing with the ones to the east. The grimm threat was large in the are in which they were in, something that was likely the same about the others. Nevertheless, Lazuli drew the longer blade out his two sword and went to strike the nearest Grimm to him. Fortunately this beowulf wasn't paying complete attention to him as a result of Uva's attacks. This provided him with the proper chance to deal a swift end to the Grimm. HP: 15 Grimm Defeated: 1 Beowulf Grimm Remaining: 9/10 Beowulf, 1 Ursa (3/8 BP) ~~ Vice had been rather distant from his team for the most part regarding interactions. This continued to when they had entered the battle field when he still didn't say anything. His hammer like weapon was hefted onto his shoulder, he went to dealing with the grimm before him. Instead of taking the easy route and dealing with the Beowulf, Vice had gone straight for the Ursa near the back of the pack. The beast had spotted him right as he swung his hammer and despite being able to somewhat block the attack, the full force still was sent through its body and dealing some damage. HP:15 Grimm Remaining: 9/10 Beowulf, 1 Ursa (2/8 BP)
Luna had chosen the more modern looking world as their destination and headed that way right off the bat. Personally to him it looked about as good as any, but it wasn't like there was any strong feelings of conflicting regarding either of the two worlds. Shortly after Luna and later Beuce had gone into the portal, he did the same. The first sight upon entering the world was the city, which was fairly impressive looking. The next thing that came to his attention was all of the animals take were casually walking about on two legs. While this was a surprise, it wasn't that big of one of the account that this is the third time Kel has seen animals walking on two legs. Spotting what he could assume to be Beuce and Luna, he walked over to them which lead to him getting a closer look at the animal that he had turned into. Why am I a hedgehog? Moments later a realization donned on him, prompting him to glance up towards his head. His spiky hair was still there, along with the addition of some spines that he could see poking out. "Yeah, that explains it." Odd, it didn't matter much back in Nottingham when he was a fox.
Right as they were given a name to call the boy by, a pink blob formed from Jim's pocket and started to fly around the two of them. It was the mixed result of curiosity and wonder that had lead to Chrono following the blob as it flew around them to the best of his own abilities. Chrono even tried poking it at one point. He hadn't expected something like this to actually lead to this much enjoyment. "Just Chrono, please don't try to shorten it." He added. He didn't know much about Jim, but on the off chance he was someone that tried to make nicknames out of people's name, he wanted to add in that little detail then as a precaution.
Lazuli gave Lloyd a shrug at first before speaking. "True enough, in that case I'll take an ale as well." It would be a lie to say that he didn't briefly consider proclaiming a round of drinks would be on Arian. It would be funny to see the variety of reactions from everyone, but presuming he couldn't back up those words, it wouldn't end with the best of results. There also wasn't a need for two people to offer to pay for everyone anyway. Instead he took a seat on one of the free spots at the bar.
Upon realizing that they weren't pirates the boy appeared to relax a bit. A good start to this entire situation, though Chrono wasn't even sure what a 'spacer' to even know that the look they had was. Not that really matter right now. He looked around after hearing the name of the ship, RLS Legacy. To him the name was somewhat odd, despite not having any talents when it comes to naming things himself. "That's a bit harder to explain actually." He doubted that saying that 'they fell from the sky' would be the most believable of things. He could be wrong, different worlds had different rules on what they would probably believe.
Another glance back at the boards and Kel noticed the boards had changed up the pairings. Everyone was now in teams of three, their third member being Steel. With the exception of Etrius, this was the same group that had gone to Castle of Dreams. The lack of Etrius meant that there was one less problem for him to worry about going into the world, which for Kel was a relief. Watching the first two groups enter the worlds of their choosing, he looked at the two portals before them. Neither one of them had any real sort of appeal to him, something that was shared with the last world he had gone to. Perhaps Luna actually had an opinion on where to go. "Any ideas on where you want to go?"
Glyde had decided to go and check on Illiana, which left Take and himself to deal with the mop boy who was progressively backing away from them. In the direction that they needed to go no less. The mop hit the floor and the boy ran off away from them, probably to inform the captain that they were suddenly on the ship. Seeing how badly that could end if they didn't intervene in some way. Chrono had caught up to them shortly after Take had stopped the boy. "We're just trying to avoid being thrown off til we have some idea as to where we are. That's all."

Agnitio dying was a possibility that Chrono had figured could've occurred, so hearing confirmation of that did not really faze him. Master Ryce vanishing though was different. Disappearance meant there was still a possibility of him still being alive and another source of insight. Masters should have some sort of special information that not everyone has access to. That was at least what Chrono was going for with these newfound hopes of his. "I would hope he's more qualified." With his current batch of...limited memories that he was making this presumption on, saying that they were more qualified than a master was something he couldn't do. Perhaps they actually were at one point and it was just one of the many thing that he knew nothing about. Shrugging, Chrono waited to see what the others had as their input.
Taking another look around the ship, Chrono found the lack of anybody up here to be odd. Sure there was the guy moping the deck, but he wouldn't exactly be the most helpful in keeping them from being thrown off the ship should someone finally notice them. Chrono agreed that being caught on this ship as they were would not end well for them, but at the same time if whoever was in control of this ship was hostile, then barging in on them might end badly as well. In his mind, both options had a risk, but with the latter they could at least attempt to talk their way out of trouble. "Finding the captain sounds good, but where would we start looking to find them?"
The back and forth between Megumi and Yue did not seem like a good thing to Kel. He didn't quite here everything that they were talking about, but was he did hear was enough to figure out what they were talking about. That was when the mission board appeared with the list of partners. Being partner with Luna wasn't a bad thing by any means. Speaking of which, he waved back at her upon noticing her approaching him. "We have to be getting close to the end of this, so let's keep up the good work." He took a quick glance at the mission board. Aux's name was still in fact up there and he didn't know how to feel about that. Perhaps it was just a temporary thing.
The longer that Lazuli looked outside of the window to his room at the streets below, the more he was slowly wanting to just sneak out and roam the streets. It would fun for old time sake, plus it didn't look like much had changed since he had been there. Form his perspective it would be perfectly fine for him to do just that, even with the added fact that he had little to no plans on letting anyone else know about it. A force of habit. if he would have to explain himself. Right as he was about to open the window however, he heard a voice shouting from outside. An offer to buy them food and drinks, good enough enough for him. When he had opened the door to step out of his room, he caught sight of Aalis glowing blue. That certainly wasn't the oddest thing considering that she briefly turned a man into cheese. With a simple shrug he trailed behind the two. Being the last one to arrive, he was surprised to see that Lloyd had ended up tagging along as well. Not to mention the fact that the new guy who had come with Professor Glynda was there as well. An interesting turn of events for sure. Striding further in, Lazuli walked up to where Arian and the others were. "You sure you wanna go through with this?"
It was an odd experience for Vallus, almost as if he was floating in an empty void. While floating in this void, he had no control over his actions and was nothing more than a passenger in his body. This enraged him greatly. Once again someone had manipulated him and by the time he had realized this, it was too late to actually do anything about the actions in the past. Much like before the one thing he could do was to walk forward, walk forward on this blood stained path of his. Suddenly Vallus found that the floating feeling he was experiencing had come to an end and he was in fact in control of his body once again. He'd blinked a few times to readjust himself to his surroundings. Said surroundings being a cage made out of metal. Odd, but he would question that another time for the cage itself had started to lower into the ground, thus removing the one obstacle between himself and his target. If there was anything that he could say he was disappointed with, it would be the fact that he was unable to swiftly put an end to her life, but there was still a way for him to achieve the desired end results. "This." Vallus simply stated, drawing his blade and entering a ready stance. In the next instance, his blade was plunged into Krista's chest all while avoiding Kiara. As he removed the blade, Vallus knew that the wound itself would not be fatal by itself, but in her current predicament getting out alive before bleeding out was unlikely. Even if she did somehow make a feeble attempt at getting away, he would be sure to snuff out the dying flame of her life.
