Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

​

Ignis listened as the group watched a very large cheetah talk to them and give himself a misunderstanding of who they were. Out of nowhere he called his boss and apparently the keybladers were considered some kind of police officers. She really wasn't sure what was going on, and was getting a headache just thinking about the huge misunderstanding going on right now. When Ignis got her hands shook by the cheetah though, she wasn't sure if his hands were clean, and that made her about hit her limit for what she was going to deal with that day.

She walked over and grabbed one of the vests that the desk clerk had pointed to and put it on, feeling a little tight under it. There was also a little machine to grab as well, and she took one. Apparently they were on "Parking Duty", whatever that was. She went outside and noticed Stratos putting pieces of paper everywhere. She wasn't sure what to do, so she dabbled with the machine trying to make it work. While she was used to the idea of machines since leaving her world, she never really had to mess with one, and this thing had more buttons than she wanted to try. Luckily the first button she hit, a piece of paper came out and she figured that was what she had to use. She ripped it off the machine and put it on something like Stratos was doing. Eventually she had put ten tickets all over: on some windows, a car, a street sign, and even a baby stroller. Though for some reason the people didn't seem happy about her doing so.

Tickets: 20/100

 

Steel followed after the group as they all decided to go in search of information. Several of them seemed uncomfortable with their new forms. He personally was unaffected... like completely. Nothing about him had changed. Well, maybe his eye had, but he hadn't bothered leaving that exposed in such a way as to check with the nearest civilian. As for the tail, he didn't really find it uncomfortable. Then again, he'd had it his whole life... wait, actually his whole life so far he had been using Sors' human form? But he still had a lot of memories from his alternate self of being a wolf and having the tail. He also walked around with it regularly now.

Gah. This was complicated.

Whatever the situation between him and his tail, it mattered little at the moment. Especially seeing as they seemed to have been drafted into police work by a tubby, excitable, and all around rather adorable cheetah named Clawhauser. Graciously ignoring the comment about dogs, Steel took his badge from the sugar infestation of a desk before heading back to the changing rooms the cheetah had directed them towards. A quick check in the mirror told him that his eye was completely normal... so yeah, he better keep that covered, regardless of whether or not it looked professional.

Though if he considered it thoroughly, none of them really did. Sure, some of them could pass for normal enough, in spite of the eccentric choices of clothing, but he and Kel had blue hair. BLUE HAIR. He didn't know of any other wolves with blue fur. Or hedgehogs with blue quills for that matter... well there was... No. Steel shook his head in exasperation. He was sure that there were creatures who used dye to get the same effect that the two of them were naturally born with, but that would indicate Clawhuaser likley assumed they were using dye. Wasn't that discouraged among police? Disallowed even? How exactly had he mistaken them for outsourced cops?

Putting his confusion aside, Steel exited the police station in his new uniform to find Ignis and Stratos... putting tickets on everything.

"Guys, no. Stop." He followed after them, removing tickets from the garbage cans and baby strollers and trying his best to relocate them to somewhere more fitting. All the while he found himself parroting 'Sorry' to any and all angry looking pedestrians. "Guys, guys, that's not quite how parking tickets work. You have to put them on the cars that are in parking violation." He looked down at the device in his hand preparing to show them an example, only to realize that while the concept of a parking ticket was not lost on him, the workings of the e-ticket machine in fact were. "Um... I'll be honest I don't know exactly how this works, but... You should be filling in the information, like... date, time and infraction, so..." He fiddled with the buttons for a few moments before printing out a serviceable ticket. Pulling it from the printer, he walked over the matching car and placed it. "Like that."

Parking Tickets: 30/100

 

As Stratos continued to go on his montage of ticketing, Ignis seemed to have an equal confusion as to whether or not they were doing the right thing. Or she knew exactly what she was doing and Stratos just happened to be doing everything right the whole time. Unsure of which was actually true, the boy shrugged, thinking there was no harm or foul in actually continuing this process, until the blue lupin figure of Steel made his way over to instruct them as to what they actually needed to be doing. Stratos scratched his chin a bit at the explanation, and was a bit skeptical given Steel didn't seem to know much about what they were doing either, but figured his instructions looked right enough, so he went along with it. Looking around at vehicles he had been putting the tickets on, Stratos wasn't entirely sure what constituted a "parking violation." But since a violation just meant they were doing something wrong, he figured that if a car looked off or funny to him, it was probably in violation?

Looking at the machine, the raccoon boy began to fiddle around with it, now actually putting information on it as opposed to just posting blank tickets all over the place. He wasn't exactly sure how it was used, but fiddling around with the buttons seemed to produce some results of text on a ticket. And so, printing it out, he placed on a car that was between two other cards a ticket that had a jumbled mess of words on it. Shrugging, the boy then went to repeat this process, finding any car that he thought looked weird or out of place and merely placing tickets there.

​

Ignis was about to continue her rampage of ticket placing when Steel decided to come up and set her and Stratos straight on what to do with them. Or at least, that was what he attempted to do. She wasn't entirely convinced when he began to have trouble trying to get a ticket to print. Still, at least it made her feel slightly better when she knew she wasn't the only one lost in what was going on. She could tell at this point this was going to be a world she would rather forget about afterwards, just because of the sheer number of embarrassing moments that are bound to happen.

She followed Stratos and Steel's lead afterwards and began to print up tickets with information, whatever that meant, on the ticket and put them on cars that were near her. She honestly didn't know what good parking was compared to bad parking so she just went to each car she passed by and put a ticket. It kind of made her glad that at least in her world, they only had to deal with horses and carts, and didn't have to worry about these "parking violations".

Tickets: 50/100

 

Kaida wasn't necessarily appreciative of the comments for her to use her "animal abilities". She didn't want to get too adjusted to this body to the point she tried to claw out a heartless of something. She would rather keep herself used to using the keyblade. Kaida kept on her swinging and clashing with the hyena that seemed disinterested in the battle anymore. She was at least getting used to the body at this point, but it still threw her off when she made a weird bird noise as she hit it. Either way, it looked like Ed was starting to finally feel it, and with the other hyenas apparently dealt with, it was time to put soul focus on finishing up this one.

Kel stood there and watched and the cheetah had explained to them what they were supposed to be doing and by the end of it, he had no idea what it was exactly that they were supposed to be doing. Parking duty? With a shrug he choose not to dwell to hard on it for the time being, nor the work ethics of the ZPD based off of what Clawhauser had told them. A swift change of outfit into the appropriate police attire and they were out dealing parking tickets.

To be honest, Kel hadn't really cared about how to do this and had it not been for Steel demonstrating how to properly do them. He took a guess at the date and wrote them down on the various notes and started putting them on any car that he saw didn't already have on it. Hopefully he was doing this right and not have to worry about any backlash as a result of this.

60/100 Tickets

 

As the group headed for the police department, the cheetah that went by Clawhauser had welcomed them to the Zootopia Police Department. He had explained to them what their current job was while handing each person a badge. Parking Duty. Luna went to the change room to put on her police uniform. "Another bunny cop huh? Sounds cool!" Luna smiled before heading out with the others. She looked over to Stratos as he began placing parking tickets all over the place. Before he went any further, Steel had instructed him how they should go about it. Ignis then proceeded to hand out tickets as well. Kel had soon followed after. Luna scratched her head before looking over to see a car that was parked in a 'No Parking' zone. "Well that's not good." She used the device and printed out the ticket and placing it under the windshield. "Cars sure are strange. As well as the laws that coincide with them. Oh well." Luna continued handing out ticket after ticket while making sure the reason was explained on the ticket. "How long do you think they plan on having us do this?" Luna looked over to the others after placing yet another ticket.

70/100 Tickets

 

Beuce fumbled around with the ticket machine. His new claws were proving hard to worth, however it seemed that his glass arm was entirely unaffected by the transformation. He didn't quite grasp why, but it seemed to be the only part that hadn't been affected by the world they were in. In any case, he managed to grasp how to push the buttons on it a bit after the others did, eventually printing out a ticket. He gathered from their conversation that they weren't supposed to just stick it to everything they saw, but instead were supposed to put it on "parking violations"...?

An idea struck him, and a brilliant one at that. Stratos seemed to grasp what he was doing. Putting them on cars that appeared to be breaking the law. He followed closely behind the boy, and every time he put a ticket onto a vehicle, Beuce would paste one right next to it. This way, he'd be sure to be putting it on the right things. Beuce gave a satisfied thumbs up to his partner for the exam. Case solved. Junior Detectives, out.

Stratos continued to use his parking ticket gun thing, as unsure as ever. There were moments when he had started to figure things out, but when he had felt as though he made an error on the write up, he wasn't entirely sure how to delete said error. So instead, he would just print out multiples of the same one, placing them on the car. Continuing to move around, he eventually saw Kel and Luna start to place tickets across the cars and then saw where Luna was in particular. "Oh." Seeing the sign that said, "restricted parking zone," he then said aloud, "well, that would've been a good place to start. Good eye Luna." Trying to find more places like that, the boy then turned back towards everyone else. Pointing at the vehicles, he said, "so like, does anyone know what these actually are?"

There was a lot of stuff that seemed to go on in a short span of time, Kaida looked back and forth between the conversation with Nala and whatever Aux was on about. At the rate Aux was going, Kaida wasn't necessarily worried about Aux getting in the way. Kaida dropped the keyblade after a bit and she stretched her jaw going, "Kweh.. oh man why does that keep happening? What was that...." Kaida looked over at Aux when he was speaking and she shook her head and said, "He always speaks for the group at this point... Also, uh, we've interfered with a few worlds prior. In my defense, Hikaru did it first. I'm a victim here as much as you." she looked over and flapped her wings a little as she started following towards Hikaru, "Actually, I'm wrong. You did it the very first. Just go with it, less stress on the mind. Unless you're weaker than me now?" and the blonde moved faster to follow.​

 

Ananta watched Aux kind of ignore Aislinn. She chuckled to herself and fluttered up onto Aux's head, sitting atop his hat. "I promise I won't scratch you." she said to him, watching the hyena's cower and whimper. A lioness came up to them and was curious about the goings on. As the hyena's pleaded with her, they eventually left and Ananta honestly felt scared. Luckily, the lioness decided against trying to hunt the group and soon requested their aid.

Hikaru spoke up for the group and annoyed Aux greatly. As Hikaru avoided the question of how many times they've meddled, Ananta watched Kaida mock Aux a little, running off. "In all honesty, Aux. we've been to so many worlds. We haven't really meddled, so much as helped them solve their problems. That's meddling still, but we're not revealing anything by helping, are we?" she asked him, looking down at the lion.​

 

​

Andrew turned his attention when Ananta decided to join onto there battle. That was when Ananta deiced to use a thunder spell with them close by. He could not see why she would do that but whatever it did not hit him. There was not much he could do regarding the battle. He more or less ignored what was going on with Aux. Aux had finally managed to get to his feet after what seemed like ages. That was when a lioness came into view well this was going to be interesting. 'I'm surprised there are still animals in the pridelands to begin with.' Well that gave him an answer on where they were. Was this lioness working with the hyenas he wondered. Then she said 'Don't worry about them... Scar and the hyenas have made things unbearable for everyone. There's no food left. They've driven off the prey. We're about to starve...' Well they had to help somehow. It a a good thing she decide that she would not stand a chance to fight them. He did not really want to fight if he did not have to. Then the lioness who scare was. He wondered how this cub died, but was not about to ask. 'Right now I'm trying to find the Oasis.' How to find it he thought. It must be what Hikaru said was way off earlier.

He was sure that once they found the Oasis they they could just lead the animals from pridelands to wherever the oasis was. Aux then said, 'That's meddling. Why would we get involved?' He did not see it as meddling but helping out. Not being able say or do anything he just went with it. He did not really have anyone to talk to, Aislinn was with Kaida trying to find out info about Aux. Aux was with Ananta and he did not want to try talking to Aux again not after last time. That left Hikaru the few times he talked to him it was positive or he ignored him. It made him wonder some things now that he thought about it, but he thought it might be better if he did not ask because it really was not his business. He deiced to walked behind/ next to Aislinn and Kaida because he was somewhat interested in what she say about Aux and he did not have much else to do.

 

​

Ignis continued her pointless pursuit of "cars in violation", trying to get as many tickets out as she could. It seemed like they were almost done, since there were plenty of tickets out at that point. Luckily there was a group of them putting out those tickets, because otherwise it might have been a pain getting one hundred out, not too mention they still had other things to do in this world. What they were, she had no clue, but she was pretty sure they didn't have anything to do with walking around putting pieces of paper on vehicles.

She passed by a couple more cars and plopped some more tickets and noticed her paper was out at that point. She hadn't really kept count, but she doubted she had gone through that much paper in so little time. She hit the machine a couple times, trying to get it to work. After a second, the machine began to make some weird noises, and paper began to fly out of the machine at rapid pace. Ignis freaked out a little, thinking she probably broke the thing. After the last of the paper spewed out, the machine made a couple more noises, and then sparked in her hands, and finally some smoke began to rise out of the thing. She figured that was probably a good point to stop what she was doing.

"Hey guys, I think I'm finished!" She raised her machine to show the others the damage she had done. "Or at the very least, this machine is finished."

Tickets: 100/100

 

Kaida was a bit surprised when Aislinn asked her about Aux. She didn't exactly mind answering that question, she just didn't know how accurate she'd be to the whole story. As Kaida walked she sighed and flapped her wings again to stretch before answering, "Aux was someone I trained with in Central Haven when we were part of the academy there. We both have always been at odds with each other though but... Aux was a good guy for the longest time. Kind of quiet, tried to keep up this rather 'stoic' approach that always bothered me but.. he's always seemed to have memory problems and it wasn't an issue until he ran off one day and came back... well, darkness oriented. He's been working with this guy called No Heart or... something like that and they've been doing bad things, but the way we got into the realm of darkness was because he kind of threw us in here... which... we can't get out. And now he has no memories presumably because of the entry fee into the game but... it feels odd to me." Kaida hoped that was a good enough explanation.​

 

After a while it looked that the they had managed to put all of the tickets that they possibly could on the cars in "violation". That, and the fact that the machine had looked broken according to Ignis. A broken machine was as good as any reason to return to the police station and that's what they did. Once there, Kel walked up the the cheetah at the desk. "Um, we're done hanging out those tickets."
