:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Azure's Calling. It is one of the raging seas. The tidal waves rage on, roaring in the seas far off. Yet strangely, that sea does not exist out at the Sacred Temple of Bur Omisace. This is a place at the very top of the Bur-Omisace mountain. Stones steps form zigzag patterns, the peak comes to a stop to lead to the temple. As the daylight breaks, one adventurer travels along the mountain to arrive at the majestic temple. Wind catches the yellow scarf, whisking it along as the youth travels upward. Here he stands to behold the majestic place. It is the Boy with the Long Yellow Scarf. There is a look of determination on his face as he looks up at the gates of the temple. That mysterious green pendant of his give off a faint glow. That glow is becoming more prominant with a ring. The boy has followed that guiding voice once more. "...So, this is the place..?" He gazes up, eyes lit with anticipation and awe. "This place is extraordinary!" 

:'''[[Mir Clarence]] has posed:''' Happening to be traveling along with the boy was a girl, smaller in stature than even he was. Her long, green hair, and distinctive wings made it hard to mistake her for anyone but a certain traveling baker. Only this time, her cart and chocobo were absent, in favor of a small hand basket. Just enough to sell, but not enough to hinder Reize's trip. As they emerged in sight of their, well, /his/ destination, the girl couldn't help but stare a bit in awe herself. "...Wow..." She mumbled, blinking slowly a few times as her mind processed the sight. "...Who knew there would be a place like this up here?" Her eyes turned toward the boy then, and at his glowing pendant with a fair bit of curiousity. "Hey, your thingy is glowing again." She mentioned casually, pointing at it with her free hand. "...Does it have something to do with this place?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize can feel it. There is a presence that is calling him. It is not just that voice that guided him along to this location, but the pendant. And something has reached out to the pendant. The boy looks ahead at the temple with a focused look. He does snap out of it when Mir speaks out to him regarding his pendant. The boy looks down to see the glowing crystal. "It looks like it." Reize cups the crystal in his hand, "I think it is why I was led to this place." He furrows his eyebrows, trying to peer ahead. He turns to face Mir with a smile, "Would you believe that this pendant is able to pick up on people's most important wishes? I was told that it was a fragment of a shooting star." He looks ahead to the temple, "Sometimes, I can hear the desires that people have. It is their deepest wish. Those who I managed to help, the crystal is able to pick up and it grows stronger." He gives a thoughtful look, "I wonder if it means that it is time for the next step." 

:'''[[Mir Clarence]] has posed:''' Mir stared at Reize's pendant, and then at him for a few moments after his explanation regarding wishes, then looked away. "Weirdo." She rolled her eyes and rested her hand on her hip. "So you're the kind of person who'll follow the whim of a shiny rock, huh?" And this was the leader of the Shard Seekers. She almost wanted to laugh, but... "Oh well, at least you're an honest weirdo." She managed a small smile in his direction before turning her eyes to the temple up ahead. "What's this about a next step though?" She asked, curious despite how much she thought it was weird and silly. "...And what does it have to do with that place?" There was a pause before she added on. "It doesn't look safe." Because those kinds of places never were.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Puffing his cheeks, "Hey! I am not weird for following the rock!" Reize pauses, thinking about it for just a moment. He corrects himself, "I am not following the crystal, but someone who helped me escape getting taken by the Heartless is helping me restore the pendant." He muses thoughtfully. Though, Reize cannot help but smile at seeing Mir's own smile. The boy looks ahead to the temple, "I don't know, actually." He thinks about it a little more, "Actually." He shuts his eyes, recollecting the last 'dream'. "The voice spoke to me last night. This place is where the crystal will be able to have part of its essence restored. However, to be able to restore it, I have to overcome the trial here." He re-opens his eyes to glance back at Mir, "Though, I am not sure what the trial is, exactly." He grins, "But I am excited to find out what it is!" He gives a thumbs up, "If this crystal is completely restored, it can become a shooting star and the person can make a wish to be granted." 

:'''[[Mir Clarence]] has posed:''' His reaction at being called weird drew a chuckle out of the girl and she brought a hand to her mouth tio stifle it prematurely. Totally a weirdo. Once the moment passed, a deep breath was taken to calm down. As Reize took the time to think on his next answer, Mir took a few steps forward, getting a closer look at the temple, and their surroundings. And once he'd started to speak, she turned around to face him and listen. "...You don't know?" Her expectant gaze turned flat at that. Oh wait, he seemed to remember something. Curious, she took a few steps closer to the boy. Once he finished, the fairy just stared blankly at him for a few seconds, and then abruptly chortled, covering her mouth with a hand as her expression turned horribly amused. "Oh, so now you're hearing voices in your head too? Mysterious voices in the night? How suspicious!" Unable to resist, Mir wound up giggling in amusement at Reize's story. "And here you are, just following the whims of this disembodied voice! Are you sure that's safe? Throwing yourself into the depths of some dangerous trial because a voice said so? That can't be healthy!"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Mir's chortle has the boy annoyed once more, his antenna hair swishing irritibly as the boy's face turns indignant. "Wh--what's so funny?!" Reize frowns at the woman's bemused expression, "Tsch, the voice is someone!" He frowns a moment later, "...I just don't know who." Her question is one that puts Reize at a more thoughtful position, "To be honest, I don't know." He gazes her way, "I have wondered that as well for some time. However, the voice has managed to guide me this far. When the Heartless came after me, it showed me a way out. It helped me unlock my ability to use magic through the pendant. It has offered me good advice so far..." He offers a smile later, "I can't help but to think of the voice as an aid. Maybe once I can revive the pendant's full potential, it'll become a shooting star." ...And I can make my wish.

:'''[[Mir Clarence]] has posed:''' "What's funny? You are!" Though still amused, Mir could acknowledge his determination, and so her laughing died down soon enough. "Phew, it's been a while since I laughed like that. Ah you're a riot, Mr. Shard Seekers Leader." Sighing, she decided to set her basket down and sit upon a nearby rock after first smoothing out her skirt. Afterward, she listened as Reize went on about his pendant. "...Well...I don't know. If it were me, I'd be wary. Nothing in this world is free after all. If someone or something is helping you, it's got to want something as well." Mir shrugged at that and went on. "Well, I guess it takes an idiot to unconditionally give everyone and everything a chance." Stupid, but mildly admirable in a way. A moment of silence fell in after and the girl rested an elbow in her lap, chin coming to rest in her palm. "You said that thing picks up on people's wishes? ...And what then? You go around solving them?" Her pink eyes studied the boy curiously as she asked. "...Is that what helps it get stronger?" There was a pause, and then the last question came. "...What happens when, and if, it becomes a shooting star anyway?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Grrrr..." His antenna hair rattles, coiling back before hissing at Mir. Reize grits his teeth until the laughter dies down. The boy exhales a sigh, "Bah! I am serious!" He just keeps his frown up. Yet, when she sets the basket down to listen to her advice. "I suppose so." He furrows his eyebrows, "...I wonder what would the voice want out of this?" The boy looks over to the pendant around his neck, gazing deeply upon that glowing green crystal. It shimmers with a glitter. "Everyone deserves a chance!" Reize pointedly ignores the idiot remark. Well, not completely. There is a twitch on the side of his head and his antenna hair makes it obvious by hissing at her like a snake. "For the most part, yes." The boy smiles thoughtfully, "I've helped people achieve their wishes. Many of them were important to them." He furrows his eyebrows, "After all, a person can be restless without having their dearest wishes being realized. Many wishes can be achieved, it just takes a helping hand." He brightens considerably as he goes into the explanation. He grins, "Once it becomes a shooting star, those who view it can make a wish upon it and it shall be granted. Like any other shooting star!" He adds, "The shooting star collects the desires of the people and while it travels, it grants those wishes to those lucky enough to see it." Pause. "At least, that what I have been told." 

:'''[[Mir Clarence]] has posed:''' "Huh..." Mir mumbled, staring at Reize's all too expressive lock of hair. Seriously, was that thing alive? ...Maybe it'd be better not to ask. "Everyone deserves a chance, huh...?" Well, he did have a point. Somewhat. "Oh, so you've actually gone around solving people's problems like that? Sounds like a lot of work." Not that she was a stranger to work, but still. Seeing the boy get so animated about solving people's problems and granting wishes made it impossible for her own mood to be lifted at least a little, as the smile on her face would suggest. "I see...so then, once it becomes a shooting star, it'll supposedly grant the wishes of whoever witnesses it?" A pause. Then came the most important question. "Do you have a wish?" Indeed, what sort of wish would the one who solved everyone else's problems have?

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "In the end, yeah." The boy has a smile on his face as he gives his definitive answer to Mir, "I believe everyone deserves a chance in life." He looks away, "...Some people, like Leida, lost their way. Now that they've received a second chance, they can make the best of it." He grins, then he turns his head over to stare at the temple. His eyes widen as the important question comes his way. "..." It is that moment that Reize's smile actually fades to a more wistful look. His eyes stare out beyond the temple, looking not at the temple. "My wish..." The boy parts his lips, as if about to say what was dearest to him. However, to him, all there is beyond that temple is a shadow. Unconsciously, his hands reach to his side to procure a deck of tarot cards from his pouch. Simple tarot cards in design, but closer inspection of those cards show paintings of various worlds. As his hands unconsciously thumb along the tarots, Mir may likely spy a painting of Lindblum. At the same time, there are other worlds that show, many of them unknown. "...nothing important, really." Reize turns to face Mir with a smile that tries to remain, "...Just being able to travel the world to be an adventurer like my father was is enough for me." 

:'''[[Mir Clarence]] has posed:''' Mir briefly wondered who Leida was, but thought better of asking. Now wasn't the time. ...Nor did she really care that much. If she ever met Leida, then that would be it. Her eyes remained on Reize as he looked off towards the temple, looking more distant and somber than she'd ever seen him before. It was surprising really. And she was almost realy to start thinking that the boy wasn't capable of such expressions. She sat by and waited for his answer. But it never came. Instead, he produced a deck of curious looking cards. Her eyes were drawn to them instead, seeing paintings of various locales along them. ...Wait, was that Lindblum? ...How in the world? Of course this just drew more questions up in the fairy's mind, but in the end, she said nothing. Then finally came Reize's answer. 'Nothing important, really.' That caused the girl to narrow her eyes slightly. She knew better than to believe that answer, but... ...Well, everyone had their secrets. Even the most idiotic, good hearted, justice loving, and moronic of adventurers. And herself. Everyone around them really. And so, she just smiled and nodded. "Right." And then she reached down and picked up her basket. "We've been walking a while. Your little adventure can wait a while yeah? Why don't we eat something? I packed dinner." If ever, the boy thought he could tell her whatever was really on his mind, she'd listen. But it wasn't in her interests to force anything out of anyone. Privacy was something to be respected.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' There was always that lingering desire that the boy had. Deep down, deep somewhere, he wanted to see her. The person whose face he never seen. However, she was there. She was alive. Those hints from the strange world and then after their celebration long ago. Reize remembers it all. Those tarots slide together and then he places them into his pocket. He mentally drives those lingering thoughts and doubts out of his mind. Nevertheless, the boy maintains his smile. "Great!" The topic is now over, "I'm hungry!" The boy settles down next to the fairy, crossing his legs together while rubbing his hands together. "What did you make this time? The apple pie you made the other day was delicious!" 

:'''[[Mir Clarence]] has posed:''' "I don't just bake, you moron. I can cook other things too!" Mir bluntly corrected the boy as he sat down next to her. "You can't survive on cakes and pies! ...That's just what I happen to sell." She nodded at that and removed a small box from the basket, opening it up to reveal several sandwiches, they all had different fillings ranging from fruits, to vegetables, to meats and so on. Perfect on the go food. "Anyway, eat. No use tackling your trial on an empty stomach." The girl stated, setting the box in Reize's lap before removing a fruit sandwich from the lineup and biting into it. An amicable silence set in as the two partook in their choices. After a few bites, Mir spoke up again, though less boldly than previous. "...Say..." She started, glancing at Reize before continuing. "What's your favorite food?" After asking that, she looked away, seemingly a little embarrased and scratching her cheek with a finger. "I mean...I'm just curious. And maybe for future reference. ...Sometime. Y-Yeah."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' A sweatbead appears on the side of Reize's head as he gives Mir a sheepish look. Upon reflection, Reize only knew her to bake goods! As she sets up the sandwiches and fruits, the boy's eyes light up with glee. "Wow! Those look amazing!" While promptly told to eat, Reize actually digs in to the food. "Thanks for cooking for the trip, Mir!" The boy smiles her way, reaching over to grab some of the fruits and he starts taking a bite of the apples and the sandwich. Once she glances his way regarding his food, Reize actually smiles. It actually brings a bit of memories back to him. "My favorite food..." The eyes shut as he takes another bite of his apple. He chews happily before he finds himself reminiscing, "At my small hamlet, we were a self-sufficient place. We were kilometers away from any sort of society outside of our little hamlet. We often hunted wild boar and deer." He muses, "My favorite have been the cooked wild boar meat. We had that with mashed potatoes and some sharp goat cheese from our small farm." He looks back at Mir, brightening, "What about yours?" 

:'''[[Mir Clarence]] has posed:''' Mir rolled her eyes at the boy's exhuberance and just smiled a tad as she listened to his story. "Huh...So you were raised in the middle of nowhere, huh?" She was from the big city. ...Well, what could be considered that on her world. She'd heard of 'the boonies', but it never was something she had contact with in her own childhood. ...Not to say she wasn't still in her childhood. The thought of Reize's hometown caused the girl to chuckle a little. "Well, I guess that explains why you're such a weirdo, hehe" Though she said that, she took to thinking about the food he'd mentioned. "wild boar meat, mashed potatos, and sharp goat cheese..." Wow, that was boonies food alright. "...I think I can work with that." Smiling a tad wider, Mir stood up then, finished the last of her sandwich before grabbing the basket at her feet. "Anyway, I'm going to go and see if anyone wants to buy anything while we're here. You stay here and finish eating. And don't waste a single scrap!" She ordered at the end, pointing sharply at Reize. After a second of letting it sink in, the fairy smiled and took a few steps away. "Maybe you'll have that favorite dinner of yours, sometime after you finish this silly trial." And then she hurriedly strode off, too embarrassed to let Reize get a word in.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' The boy continued to dig in on his food; he grabs the sandwiches and stuffs it into his mouth. Om nom! The boy is a bit of a train wreck when it comes to eating his food. "Mmm! Tss iss grrrt!" The boy states with his mouth full. He looks up at Mir, nodding at her in response to his home. Gulping... "It gets boring at times, but the forest makes great adventures! All of the wild animals around and everything!" Reize knits his eyebrows at her, frowning at the weirdo comment. The boy shakes his head and he beams once she smiles a lot wider. However, when she stands up, Reize looks up at her, "Huh? Where are you going?" Ah, so she is going to find wandering customers. A boyish grin forms before he nods enthusiastically at Mir, "Mmhmm!" He idly continues to eat. Mir is a good person!

Within Fluorgis, merriment was prominent inside the pub. Laughter and cheers were spread and people danced. The atmosphere was filled with jovial spirits.

Leaders from different clans around the eastern continent came to the celebration. Many of them were to celebrate for leader of the group that officially earned their right for Clanhood, Reize. However, in the midst of the fun, the boy saw someone in particular passby. The way that the white robe draped around, he could had sworn that the cloth that draped out beckoned him to follow.

"I'll be back."

Reize departed from his friends and ran to pursue person.

His trip took him over to the large bridge. Once he stepped foot on the bridge, the person who he searched for was not there. Instead, a box was left on the rails. Approaching the railing, he took the box and examined it.

"'Congratulations'," read Reize. He squinted with confusion, then he opened the box in excitement. "I wonder what's inside!" For a brief moment, a made a face. "...Wish the person did not leave like that." As he opened the box, it revealed to be a music box. "...Wow! I think we could use one of these at the HQ.

He cranked it up and it started to play a familiar song.

[ MUSIC: 'River Flows In you (Music Box ver.)' by Yiruma ]

His eyes widen as the tune rung in his ears, that brighten smile quickly faded as his jaw gaped. As the tune continued, his mind reflected into the depths of vague memories.

While he was too young to remember, the boy could see the stars glistening in the air. As he stared, that same tune with a soft voice became familiar. In fact, the boy had the same encounter when he met ADAM back at the Withered Spire. A message was left for him.

With a thunk, the music box rolled along the ground. The wooden bridge was stained with a few droplets of liquid. As Reize continues to gaze into nothingness, tears swelled along his eyes.

He always had to be the strong one. He always had to be the dependable one for his friends. The leader of the Shard Seekers. Even when he wanted to leave to pursue his own dreams and find her, he had to stay due to his responsibility.

Even Reize had a breaking point.

He dropped on both knees, his body slumped over.
 

<center>[[File:ExposedWounds.png|400px]]</center>
 
"...Why-Why won't you come and see me? Why won't you see your own son? I don't even know what you look like... What kind of mother doesn't want to see her own son...?!"

He wanted to just be alone in his weaken state, just to sob as a wreck.

}}
:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Back at the Shard Seeker headquarters... It's been a while. Shard Seeker headquarters, the place is a mess. The place has not been taken care for a while. However, there has been quite a bit of cleaning. The headquarters is an empty facility, devoid of many members of the headquarters. Reize is here, however. The boy is out here within the facility with a broom and dustpan. He is trying to get everything cleaned up once more. "Okay, it's been a bit... " He exhales a sigh, "...None of the others are here." He presses his face against the broom. 

:'''[[Mir Clarence]] has posed:''' Meanwhile, over in the kitchen, Mir, who'd hired out this band of misfits, now apparently band of fragmented misfits, was hard at work cooking something. A savory aroma wafting out from the stovetop and beyond was motivation enough to keep working hard. Why was she here anyway? Beat paying for a room at an inn. Plus with the advance she'd given them for their 'as of yet to be executed' job, they were able to pay the power bills. So that meant a free space to do some cooking and baking! "Hey, Reize. Where's the rest of these legendary Shard Seekers anyway?" She asked, glancing over her shoulder and turning her attention away from the sizzing sounds coming from the pan she was working. "So far, I've only met you, and Mr. Galvan. Who else is here? ...Or is supposed to be here?"

:'''[[Katyna]] has posed:''' Katyna has been out of a lot of the action lately, mostly due to taking up her own epic journey, in search of Razan. Unfortunately, that leaves her pretty clueless when she returns to normal society. She had hoped to make a quick stop at the Shard Seekers to say 'hello', but as she peaks her head in the door, Kat is pretty surprised to see the place is nearly well deserted. "Uh...Helloooo? Anybody hoome?" She calls out a bit uncertainly. Ooh, ther'es a fridge, maybe she should steal some food or...Something! Oh wait, she's not supposed to steal..Well, maybe no one will notice! Bah, decisions, decisions... Oh wait, there are more voices coming from within. Well....So much for that idea! Kat heads towards the kitchen as she hears an unfamiliar voice coming from within..

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' While Reize continues to sweep the floor, he keeps hold of the broom and then he glances over towards the direction of the outside. Reize has been contemplating over the state of the Shard Seekers. He doesn't recall too much as to what is going on beyond trying to get everyone together again. Sweep. Sweep. The arouma of the food comes into his nostrils. The boy lifts his head up with a nod. "Mmm..." A glance over towards Mir, "So far, I put out a call letting the others know that I am back." He gives a thoughtful look, "I want to say that since Ivo and I have been gone, majority of the members have been handling their own affairs." There is a sad smile, "One of them, for example, is with a church who he serves. Others are assisting some of the other clans that have been dealing with the Shadowlords." "We have quite a nice number of members that have been around for a long time." He smiles, "I know they will come again." That is when Katyna makes her way to the headquarters. "...Katyna?" Reize glances over her direction, brightening a smile her way, "Ooii! Katyna! It's good to see you again!" 

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel had been very busy, there was a chain of trouble on her world, very bad things had been going on there. The few theroies on why a program, Deelel knew was kidnapped was worrysome. Hopefully the reason was right which would mean LEXUS wouldn't consume her once the Shadow Lords were finished with her. She seems to be keeping a generally chipper look about her. She has been there prehaps for a bit, or prehaps not. "Greetings users, it seems your found your way home at last Reize. Did you have a fun trip while you were away? I done what I could but things have been going very badly for my world. Worse Shiki's also vanished..."

:'''[[Mir Clarence]] has posed:''' It was a simple dish. Some pan seared meat with a mixture of spices pressed into it. And a pot of rice to the side. She was just about done it seemed. "Uh, huh..." She intoned, not sounding too impressed. "Sounds more like there was nothing to for this group to do, so everyone drifted away." And then the girl scoffed. "Tch, what did I get myself into?" Nonetheless, she plated some of the food and brought it over to the table. "Anyway, here. Eat. It's not good to work on an empty stomach." How nice. Mir's gaze settled on the approaching Katyna then and she arched a brow. "Who's this? A member?" She asked, staring the other up and down in a manner that almost seemed like she was sizing them up. "...She looks weak too." Deelel is given a look after and Mir tilted her head slightly. "...Deelel? You're a Shard Seeker?" The mention of Shiki gives Mir pause. "...Who?"

:'''[[Katyna]] has posed:''' Hmmm, why's this place so glum and empty? She continues to peer around, curiosity gettin the better of her. Kat's only been here a handful of times, and never enough times to do any serious snooping. Not that she'd actually steal anything (save for some of that tasty bacon!) of course! She respects Reize and Ivo too much for that. Stepping into the kitchen, she peers at Mir whom she's never met before, grins and waves. "Heya, where are all yer team mates? Place is practically deserted!" Then she glances around, spying Reize, eyes brightening. "Heh, you! Where you been? It's been like, FOREVER!" Not that Kat's one to talk. She laughs and runs over to him, giving him a tight, enthusiastic bear hug. Sniff. Oh wait, that's like, FOOD, isnt it? "Ooh ooh! That smells great!! Mind if I try so----Heeey whaddaya mean, I'm WEAK!!" She totally GLARES at Mir, letting go of Reize and totally missing Deelel initially, until she mentions Shiki. Oh right, that's Reize's fiance, isnt it? "...Eh? What happened?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Frown. "Oi! There was plenty to do!" He gives a thoughtful smile, "We've had hard times. With the Shadowlords spreading, it has given us something to do. Our goal is to find the World Shards and restore them." He considers, "However, that itself is a long process. But it is doable. We managed to help restore a world from one of those World Shards." He grins. Upon the plated food sliding his way, the boy smiles and he takes a seat. "Hee, thanks!" The boy looks over the food and he starts scarfing it down. Om nom nom nom. Deelel shows up. "Mmhrrrmm.." He chews and swallows. "Hi Deelel!" The boy grins, then he muses to himself as he scarfs the food. He makes a face about the 'fun'. "Don't know. The standed part was not particular fun. I didn't get a chance to see much beyond the emptiness of some of the islands that we were in. Not even a secret passage." ... ... "...Who?" The boy did not hear Deelel right. Wait. "Shiki has vanished?" He frowns, "...It looks like she may have gotten back into the Reaper's Game full time, maybe..." He looks thoughtful. The boy smiles a bit at Katyna, "It has been a---hrggh" The boy makes a strangled noise from the bear hug. "...while. Many of them have been handling their own tasks, but I'm recalling them." He gives a sheepish smile, then he blinks at Katyna and Mir's interaction." 

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel says "Busy for the likes for the likes of Faruja and Zia. I haven't been able to keep track of anyone else i'm afraid. It's good to see you all, and hello Mir we meet again. Shiki is our friend and part of the Shard Seekers, however she's just up and vanished. I'm worried but haven't been able to find trace of her." "Thay we did Reize and that's too bad then. I figured tyou were on a grand adenture. Could be the cause we should keep an eye out for her, but I can say no one's been gloating about doing anything to her, so that's a good sign. Skoll's also all right he's been working with Avira a bit lately."

:'''[[Mir Clarence]] has posed:''' The girl just smiled, her pink eyes twinkling with amusement. "You heard me. I know you humans have terrible ears, but I know they're not /that/ bad." Turning away, Mir prepared another plate of food, sliding it over to Katyna despite the fact that she was insulting her. "But then, I've been proven wrong before." Cue uncaring shrug. "Anyway, eat." The fairy glanced at Deelel then, and stared. ....Then stared some more. ...And then some more on top of that. ".........Do you know how to breathe?" She asked, out of the blue after witness the Program's tireless wordspew. "No seriously, you just jump from one topic to the other without any breaks or idle gestures or ANYTHING." Looking creeped out about this now, she went on. "Are you even human? 'Cause you've got some creepy, inhuman tendencies, and it's REALLY hard not to notice."

:'''[[Katyna]] has posed:''' Wow, she's really been out of the loop for a while now. "Mir, huh? You look pretty frail yerself. What are you, a fairy?" She makes a face at the other girl although secretly feeling jealous that she doesn't have such splendid wings herself. Grrr! She shakes a fist at the irritating fairy girl. "Care to take a wager on that, fairygirl!? Bah!" Well hmph! She glances back at Reize, arching abrow, "So what's this Reaper's game thing, anyway? I've heard of it somewhere before, but it confuses the heck outta me..." Finally, Kat acknowledges Deelel with and smile and nod. "Heya Dee. Whassup? Been a while. So how's Faru? And Avira? Gee, it sure has been a while..." Then fairy girl starts insulting Deelel too. Kat just..Rolls her eyes at her as she walks over to grab some food.. "So, you were on a journey of your own then, huh, Reize? Where'd you go? I just returned from a long, epic journey myself.." Oh yeah, she hasn't returned to VALkYRIE yet, hasn't even been there in ages! They're probably wondering where she vanished off to, as well... Hopefully any rumours wont hint at more Shadow Lord activity. That's certainly a dark part of her life she never cares to revisit again..

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Faruja and Zia have likely been handling their own affairs, I'm certain." He smiles. "I am sure that they will come by." The boy grins. However, the thoughts of Shiki has the boy frowning slightly. However, he shakes his head and smiles, "I am sure that she is doing well. She has grown stronger." The argument between Katyna and Mir has the boy looking back and forth, giving a nervous look. He grimaces, uncertain as to how to feel about the situation. Well, except for uncomfortable. However, the change of topic comes that brings the conversation to another direction. "Well, the Reaper's Game is some sort of game where the players are fighting for their lives. If they complete the game, the winner gets to make a wish." He frowns, "Last I remember, the game was forestalled for some reason." As for the boy's journey, Reize grins, "Well, Ivo and I were exploring the seas through the Romancing Saga III, but an encounter with a massive monster whale ended up knocking myself and another one of my members off of the boat." He grimaces. "...She and I ended up adrift for a while." 

:'''[[Mir Clarence]] has posed:''' Mir just smiled. "Yes. I'm a fairy. So good of you to use that brain. I'm sincerely happy. Just don't think about trying to steal dust from my wings. You'll have a bad time." Okay, she had to be messing with Katyna now. At least partly. "A wager? What. You want /me/ to fight you?" Scoffing at that, Mir rolled her eyes and turned back to the stove, this time opening up the oven to check on something baking within. "I know a little about self defense, so I wouldn't mind giving you some practice, but I'm not so immature that I'm going to haul off and actually fight someone on a wager." Deelel's response wasn't waited on. But she'd hear no doubt. her ears were better at hearing than theirs anyway. "...You adventuring types and your...adventuring." She said from the kitchen, as a scent of apple pie wafted into the common area. "Can you count how many times you've almost died?"

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel pauses for a moment looks a bit embrassased at Mir's words. She had got a bit excited she looks to Mir for a moment and does take a breaqth as she slows down now. "I do, I just forget. No I'm not human, close but not quite. I'm known as a program or a basic. I don't mean to be creepy, it's just I got excited." She seems to ahve got herself back in order as she goes quiet for the moment thinking and she is breathing she just got a bit work. "Faruja is doing well, and Avira has been working with Gummi blocks. My own home has had a good deal of problems. LEXUS has attacked it, and kidnapped someone."

:'''[[Katyna]] has posed:''' "Mmmmm, this food is good! You certainly couldn't have cooked it yourself!" She makes a face at Mir, her mouth half full as she continues to hungrily stuff herself. Phew, is she ever starved! Journeying really takes it outta you! Egads, except that she ends up eating too fast and choking on her own food, which thankfully keeps her shut up for a few moments as she coughs and hacks before reaching for a glass of water...Glug...Glug...Glug....Phew! Aah, much better. "As I was saying, fairy girl, I'll bet you're just afraid you'd totally lose to me." She pauses as she hears Reize's words, thinking about it thoguhtfully, "wow, I've really been out of the loop, I hope those two are okay.." Well, she doesn't know Zia that well, but she worries for Faruja. He has a tendency to get himself into trouble. Reize doesnt seem likely to delve too much into their personal lives however so she doesnt pursue it further. This game thing has her intrigued however. "Oooooh, a wish, huh? That sounds fun, I mean, it's kinda like your personal genie. I guess I can see the allure in that..." Finally Deelel assures her that Faru and Zia are alright and she nods. "Hmm, I'm sorry to hear that, dEe.."

:'''[[Mir Clarence]] has posed:''' Mir's voice came out from the kitchen again. "Oh. So that's why you look like to scale plastic doll, and throw around that weird disc." There was a pause, and then she stood up, and back into view. "Well, it's okay to not be human. I'm not. Just...watch yourself. You're pretty out there. You're definitely going to creep more people out if you go on like you did before." Moving from out of the area, Mir approached Deelel and got way too close, staring the Program in the face. "...Do you need to breathe? Eat? Use the bathroom? Any of those things to live?" Whoops, now she was curious. Katyna is given a sidelong glance, without the fairy increasing the distance from Deelel at all. "Sorry, not falling for childish bait. So go ahead and choke." There was a pause. "...Or maybe find someone to help you increase the width your throat." ...What did /that/ mean?

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Thoughtfully, Reize thinks over to the amount of deaths that he almost incurred, "There was the one time with the Midgard Zolom, then there was the one with the large dinosuar... then there the time with.." Reize is trailing to all of the times he had a close encounter with death. Blink. "Buh? LEXUS has started attacking your home and kidnapped someone?" A frown grows. "That's..." He furrows his eyebrows. Reize looks between Mir and then Katyna. ??? ??? "...Buh?" 

:'''[[Katyna]] has posed:''' "Hah, I knew it, you're afraid! You're all talk and no action....Heh...." Katyna just smirks smugly at Mir's back, glad to get the last word on the topic (for now). As for that other comment she just rolls her eyes. "Heh, you wouldnt be talking about trying to slit my throat would you, fairygirl? Now that's just downright nasty!" However, she focuses back on Dee again, taking on a more serious expression once more. "Hmmm, that's the grid or something, isn't it? Is there anything I can do to help? And who has he kidnapped? Gee, I knew that guy was bad news...Even though he's a Shadow Lord, he was kinda..Nice. But I guess it was all justa cover up. Catch you when you least suspect it." Of course that had been her experience with him when she was a Shadow Lord herself. And his slick but venomous tongue was nearly her downfall too. Finally, she tiredly flops into a chair, sipping more water quietly. All that choking has kinda dampenned her appetite..For now. Give her a few minutes here..

:'''[[Mir Clarence]] has posed:''' Mir just facepalmed. For a grand number of reasons. Once her hand lowered, she gave Katyna a look of absolute pity. As if she were looking at a small child rather than an intellectual equal. "Yes. That's exactly what I was talking about." She couldn't expend the effort to actually explain. It wasn't worth it. And sometimes...experience was better than hearsay. Sometimes. Deeming her pie(s) finished, she headed over to the oven and removed them one by one, placing them all on a large tray. "Anyway, I've got to get back to work. No rest for the weary and all that. I've got to get back on the streets and sell these off" Reize and Katyna were given a look, followed by Deelel, who seemed to have frozen. No farewells were given. She didn't like them. At that point, her wings began to flutter rapidly and take on a green glow. Mir than floated her way out an open window instead of trying to contend with a door while holding a large tray in both hands. A curious trail of green dust was left in her wake, but it dissipated after sitting on the floor for a few seconds.

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel looks at Mir, "Doesn't seem to bother many people, breathing I don't know we seem to do it but I'm not sure if it's needed to stay alive. No, thank my user on that. Yes for the and sometimes I just get distracted or excited." She watches Mir leae and notes to her remaining friends. "There are some things I need to take care of." With a grin she vanishes deeper into to the base, there's some things to get working, right?

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Ahh... Perhaps we can try not to fight in the headquarters? I just finished cleaning!" He gives a grin, then he looks over at Mir and Katyna once more. He wants to be sure that they aren't going to start tossing anything at each other. Nevertheless, Reize glances back to see that Mir has grabbed a pie and has started to get ready for her trip to the work. "Take care, Mir!" The boy brightens. The youth watches her flutter out of the opened window. He tilts his head with curiosity and he lifts his shoulders in a shrug. Looking back at both Deelel and Katyna, "Any case, I am trying to clean up the place. We have been away for a while that we have a lot of bills that are unpaid. No one has really tended to the garden as well. It's amazing that the plants are still alive." Though, as Deelel is making her departure, Reize idly waves a hand her way, "Take care, Deelel." As Deelel disappears, Reize is looking over the pie, finishing the last bit before he stands up. "Well, time to get back to work! It's... going to be a while before we get this place looking brand new again." 

:'''[[Katyna]] has posed:''' "Dont worry!" Kat winks at Reize, "Only kidding! Heh, seems she doesn't have much of a sense of humour though.." But she sure does make good pies...Not that Kat would admit as much of course. When Mir leaves, Kat is almost relieved, although she cant help but greedily eye those pretty wings of hers...And when green fairy dust trails behind her, Kat leaps from her chair and attempts to gather it in her hand..She once read of a fairy tale where you could fly by sprinkling yourself with fairy dust...But darnit, it suddenly seems to dissipate before she can rub it on her body! Ugggh! "Hmmm, well..Eheheh.." She grins sheepishly, paused mid stride in trying to rub herself with non-existant fairy dust. "Heh, I'd be happy to help you clean up. Good to see you back again, Reize! And you too, Deelel..." Grr, but she's not too fond of fairygirl over there, grr...

|Synopsis=This is what happens when you have Reize being the only person who saw the map for investigating the darkness. Reize leads Avira(much to her chagrin) and a few other folks to what was presumed to be the Crater where Shinryu was at...
|Cast of Characters=Invading Fiends (Aka: Reize Seatlan), Avira, Deelel, Kaydin, Aerith, Edison Reece
|pretty=yes
}}
:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' There are many regions where the time of day is easily noticable. One can tell when it is day or night within many types of forests. However, for a place that has been rumored to be filled with the dead, the forests block off all sights of light. This maze of overgrown twisted trees and shrubbery. This forest seems to move from time to time, leading to what seems ot be an endless loop. There is no real destination. There are faint sights of the undead that lurk around; ghastly creatures from time to time. Welcome to the Phantom Forest. Upon entry of the area, Reize is leading a group with him while he places a hand over his head. "Okay!" He gives a bright smile, "I think this is where the crater is supposed to be! Edison showed me the map and I remember the Crater left by this Shinryu dragon being here!" Pause. "...I don't see a black blotch here." He frowns, "Only spooky trees." 

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' "Why do we let Reize hold the map?" Avira questions immediately. "Because I sure don't mistake ink blots for /geographical features/. Ugh. I should have brought Mimir with me." In Avira's defense, she hadn't known that Reize would be /leading/ this investigation. She just agreed to meet up with a group looking into the Shinryuu crater. There's a bag slung over her back with a number of various survival and camping-related implements in it. It looks like she's completely ready to spend a few days out here investigating the spreading darkness. "Honestly though it's a huge crater. It shouldn't be that hard to find."

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel looks at Avira as she brings up the point about letting Reize near the map? She has to think hard on that for a moment she figured it could be worse right? They could have no map, she seems to be kitted out for the trip, she's got the strange grid tech cloak on which she often does and looks over to Avira for a moment as she checks her own smaller pack, most of her big stuff was comact when it was not in use after all. She's made sure to pack what she'd need and she leans on her light staff. "We might just fall into given how big I hear it is."

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Aerith doesn't respond to Avira's question for the moment. She remembers this place well enough, and it is horrificly easy to get lost, considering. Yet she follows, knowing that the Phantom Forest is not the location of the exposed World Heart. She's just waiting until Reize figures it out for himself. The thought brought a smile to her face as she finally answered Avira's query. "Hey, he gets the map because he's leading the expedition." Seeing as she was right next to her, Aerith leaned over and muttered into Avira's right ear. "For what good that does us, anyway."

:'''[[Kaydin]] has posed:''' Kaydin walks up to the group, having followed Aerith a long way and decided to finally approach, not approaching before due to his...fame with the group. "The last time I saw Reize navigating, he believed Manhattan was goug. With all due respect, he has the navigation skills I would have if I did not have access to the corridors of darkness."

:'''[[Edison Reece]] has posed:''' Phantom Forest. A place where the dead seemed to lie. How fitting. For a while now, Edison has been investigating the rumours about wells of darkness showing up. He's not been very lucky in regards to that, with every single rumour being something more or less stupid... apart from that chest at the bottom of a cave. Oh wait, that only had Twenty Bear Asses. Stupid quests. Either way, and after a quick trip to a place called New Ivalice, the Ranger is checking out the last of the spots named in rumours, this dark, damp, dreary... damned desolation. So far, nothing. They say this is the place where the dead are ferried to the Netherworld, something that amuses him in a way. What would people back at home say if they knew of this, a veritable gateway to the realms of the dead? He makes his way through the forest, though, the denizens keeping some distance from him after a bad case of lead poisoning. Who knew Bombs were so finicky when it came down to molten metal? Somebody also wandering around would probably cross paths with him.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' This creepy woods is where the dead have arrived and thrived. Although the dead have not risen, per se, it is mostly the ghastly creatures that reside in this fabled forest. Reize looks over at Avira with a frown as she comments about his cartography, "Ooii! I was handling the directions pretty well!" He rolls the paper up, then he brightens, "This should lead us to the Crater where Shinryu left his mark." For a moment, Reize looks ahead to see the forest, feeling a strange melancholy of familiarity. "...Ngh. I remember this place well." He looks more thoughtful. "There was a monster here so long ago that would go after the spirits, devouring them before they could catch the train to go to the afterlife. The talk of the crater returns, in which Reize brightens, "Oh! Yeah! It shouldn't be difficult to find. The crater was supposed to have a dome of black energy that has been growing." He looks at Avira, "When I met with Edison, we were in a spot where the darkness had left a spot. It did not expand,but he mentioned that the on at the Crater was the only one that expanded. Aerith and Kaydin are glanced over, but Kaydin gets a wary squint from the boy. "Oii, my directional senses are not that bad!" His antenna hair twitches in irritiation. It is a good moment that Reize can catch Edison off the corner of his eye. !!! "Oooii! Edison!" The boy turns and waves his way, "I think we made it to the Crater! It looks like it may be just ahead, right?" He looks ahead, "...Did it really reach that far here?" Pause, "Wait, why are you here? I thought you were exploring another area?"

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Oh... oh my. He still didn't seem to get it, did he? Aerith giggled at his antics. The poor, adorable thing. She was surprised that he was even the leader of an organization that sought to repair worlds when he got this lost. This place got people lost anyway though, so she wasn't that concerned. At least, until she heard about the monster. Then she considered calling up her staff. "Avira, I think we should tell him before he gives us a personal meeting with this creature."

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' "No you're not." Avira says dryly, ignoring Aerith's mutterings in her ear. It'd be easy to just declare HERSELF the leader of this expedition, right? "You have no idea where you're going!" She takes a moment to throw Deelel a helpless look. "I'm not sure if I packed enough food to be lost for days." But she grows quiet when Reize mentions a monster that was devouring spirits and a train to the underworld. She remembered that train to the underworld-she's ridden on it, in fact. When Kaydin shows up, Avira narrows her eyes. "...Kaydin." she says evenly, "It's been a very long time. Tell me quickly, are you still with Baron or have you left them? I've heard things."

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel does not like the woods at all, the dead should not get back up. Seriously this is like insane even those infected by the late Abrax3s were still techinally alive. Just acted like the undead or so the reports she found showed. "Right let's move and really? I think I heard about that. Reize and ...." She trails off shocked to see that Kaydin is here, he'd vanished a long time ago but here he is. "All right lets be careful and not fall in shall we?" She seems in a good enough of a mood but she does add "If we need to check the map later we can do so, lets give Reize a chance?" She thinks back to the fight with the creature here and how she first met Hades. "I brought some as well with me if we need it." She'll let Avira handle the issue of who Kadyin is with now...

:'''[[Kaydin]] has posed:''' Kaydin looks to Avira. "Wish for a chance to get even when I captured you for Lady Morrighan? I no longer serve Baron. If I bend knee to anyone specifically it will be to Aerith. Other then that, my desire is to protect the innocent like I should have been doing before Baron became corrupt." Kaydin says to Avira. "Wether or not you trust me, does not matter, if it helps." He says, as if giving her an option to not trust him before looking about. "I can scrounge for supplies, if we become lost. I been living in Targ woods, and training in the corridors of darkness all this time."

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' "Actually it's less that arresting incident in the past." Avira grits her teeth for a moment. "That is ancient history as far as I am concerned...and perhaps something that helped me out greatly in the long run. But since you no longer serve Baron, then we'll have no problems." Smirking, Avira hooks her thumbs on one of her belts. "I stole Baron's water crystal a while ago. They've got a bounty on my head. Fortunately I don't need to worry about you today, do I?" She turns away and heads after Reize. "Oh and one more thing." she adds, not looking back at him. "I want a rematch."

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Aerith glanced between Avira and Kaydin. Okay, she'd forgotten about all that. Not the whole crystal thing, but the fact that these two did not necessarily like each other. Why he'd followed her here, she had no idea, but she was glad of his presence. Until now. "I'm sure it can wait." She glanced toward Kaydin. "Right?"

:'''[[Edison Reece]] has posed:''' Edison stops at the voice, and turns slowly towards the voice, confused. "Reize? What are you doing here? The crater is on the northern islands..." The Ranger makes his way towards the group, wondering to himself how in the world did that boy get here, instead of going to the place where, y'know, big honking crater. "Anyway, I'm still looking for more pools of darkness, but so far, no luck. Everything I looked into was just another deep hole on the ground." he shrugs. "How did you people end here, though?" he asks, eyeing the crowd and recognizing a few faces from past adventures, "I'm not an expert cartographer, but I don't think the map was /that/ badly drawn." Ignorance really is bliss.

:'''[[Kaydin]] has posed:''' Kaydin widens his eyes in surprise and his grip tightens on his sword. "No...You do not need to worry about me..." He says with clenched teeth but when she wanted a rematch, a sadistic smirk on his face, a chance to get her for stealing the crystal of his homeland but when Aerith says it can wait, he finally snaps out of thoughts of beating Avira and looks to Aerith. "Of course. This objective is much more important. Lives are at stake." He says sincerely.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Glaring at Avira, the antenna hair joins the boy by pointing at her like a dagger. "I do too!" His cheeks puff in indignantion, then he folds his arms, "We should be fine! We are almost at the Crater!" As for Aerith's comment, the boy notes, "The creature was long destroyed," Reize thoughtfully notes. A glance is given towards both Avira and Kaydin's interactions. Truth be told, Reize would like to know where the Dark Knight stands. He has not been the most consistent person in staying with an alignment. In fact, Reize thinks Kaydin flips a coin to decide who he is helping in a day. And... Avira brings up a rematch. The boy flashes her a thumbs up. And then... Edison brings the bad news. "Wait. It's not?" Insert the sound of glass shattering. Hopes. Dreams. Everything. Reize's sense of direction has lead him and the group astray! "But..but... this is the north, right?" Suddenly, the sound of the train is approaching. The loud whistling sound of 'CHOO CHOO' pierces the air. The tracks running are barely audiable, but the group will notice a line of ghastly creatures following over towards the path. Patiently, each person is making their approach along the northeastern side.

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' Since she's not turned towards Kaydin, Avira's unaware of the return smirk. But at least he sounds willing for a rematch, which pleases Avira. "I've grown a lot stronger since then." she says ominously. "But yes, another time, we're busy with this expedition." Edison then aptly points out that they were on the wrong /continent/ in the world of ruin. Avira facepalms. "SEE? I told you! Why do I even listen to you, Reize? ...no really, why. I was actually at the fight where the crater was created. I already know where to find it." Looking to Deelel she adds, "We should probably turn around, we're just going to get lost if we keep following hi..." she trails off, hearing the distant whistle of an approaching train. Though she's no Maira, she sees the trail of spirits crossing their path and holds up a hand. "...don't go near them." she warns.

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Aerith shook her head as they come to a shaky agreement... And then stopped in place when she saw the trail of souls. They were a lot more visible to her than to Avira, so much so that she could see their forlorn expressions. So if there's anyone who knew not to disturb them, it was her. There wasn't even time to laugh at Reize's sudden realization that they were going the wrong way. She just stood there, silent, head bowed.

:'''[[Kaydin]] has posed:''' Kaydin turns his head at the sound of the train and readies his sword as he looks about before simply watching the spirits. He makes no attempt to go after them or impede them, but he does remain ready incase something did happen.

:'''[[Edison Reece]] has posed:''' The Ranger blinks, eyes the crowd, blinks again. Opens mouth, closes it again. Checks his compass. Cut him some slack, it's the first time he's seeing Reize's orientation 'skills'. finally, he opts to just point to the the north, roughly to the direction that the crater should be. Of course, the distance means he's probably some kilometers off the right mark, but you can get the gist of it, right. The train's whistle announces the departure of... the departed. Edison turns toward the source, but makes no comment, instead giving a short bow in salute of those who would leave for their last trip.

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Thing might explode, then Kaydn manages to difusse it, for if he's lying hopefully Avira will be less likely to want to punch him. Deelel has little love for Kaydin but if he walked away for real? That's enough to not have her be actively hostile. "We can do that later and Avira, I wish to speak to you about something later, you have given me an idea." Edison gets a boit of a look oer and she nods to him. "We had a little map trouble." Reize does mean alot of Deelel she's not going to insult him about his direction sense. "That sounds like the Phantom Train..."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize looks at Avira with a frown, "But... but... I.." His antenna hair flops in shame. This is sad times for the boy. The young adventurer hangs his head low with comical tears flowing, "...I could have sworn the map told me that it was here..." Though, with Avira mentioning about being at the fight, he blinks, "You were...?" But then, the trains situation make its way ahead. The ghosts have lined up. Restless spirits of those who have fallen. Whether it is by natural age, war, or the enroaching darkness, many ghastly beings have gathered together. Many of them seem frightening creatures, yet others.... "Momma! This is the first time that I've gotten into a train ride," a little boy is tugging onto the hand of an older woman. Meanwhile, the older woman gives a gentle smile, "Well, let us take the train together." During this time, Reize passes over to see the interactions of the ghosts. However, upon seeing the little boy and his mother, his expression becomes more somber. One that is filled with forlorn. However, something knocks him out of that state just as quickly. ...There is a glint as whispy cratures make their way towards the ship, cutting in front of the line. It did not seem like ghastly creatures. Seemed like something else. "...Guys? Did you see that?"

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Wait... Aerith, her head still bowed, opens her eyes. Something was not right here. Her eyes narrowed as the whispers in the back of her mind warned her of... something. She looked up, scanned the line in front of her, but found nothing. "No, Reize. But I don't like how the air feels right now."

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' "It is the Phantom Train." Avira says quietly. "Here to take the departed to the Underworld." Departed or inexplicably unwilling. Not many people outside the World of Ruin get a ride on that train. "Yeah, I was there, Reize. On an airship. The skies were thick with Heartless and that horrible dragon thing Shinryuu. It was like the end of the world." She remains still for now, not approaching the ghosts or in any way trying to interfer. Whatever thoughts she has about this undead procession she seems to keep them to herself, her face showing a bit of pain at the mother and child souls talking to each other. She can only imagine whatever tragedy caused that arrangement. Then some other creatures that did not resemble ghosts seem to flit ahead of those in line. Avira narrows her eyes. "Yeah, I saw it too." she admits. "Those things seemed out of place. C'mon, let's follow them." She's not even going to wait for Reize to confirm before she takes off, slipping alongside the trail of ghosts but not stepping into it or crossing it if she can help it.

:'''[[Kaydin]] has posed:''' Kaydin nods. "I agree, I do not like how things feel." Kaydin says as he begins to move with the others. The sight to the ghosts simply got a curious gaze but nothing somber from the Dark knight. In his line of work, death was common. Unfortunate, but common.

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Aerith followed, unsure of what this feeling was. All she knew was that it felt wrong, but without any idea of why just yet. In the back of her mind, she prepared to call up her staff, just in case things got ugly. Of course, if something bad could happen, it would...

:'''[[Edison Reece]] has posed:''' "You saw that as well, huh?" he said, harshly eyeing the train, "I don't think there are people in a hurry to go to the other side." People are already makinf their way there, and Edison follows, his armor coming into being as he approaches the Phantom Train. Something was very strange here, and he had a feeling that he'd need to provide more lead injections.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize is already moving off towards the train just as Avira moves, Reize is drawing both of his boomerangs, not certain what is ahead of them. However, just as Aerith agreed: It does not feel right. Something about the presence of that wisp felt wrong. As Avira slips alongside of the trail, the boy tries to keep out of the ghost's sight. As they start making their way towards the train, the group will find that something is wrong. The Phantom Train has about an hour before departure. It is awaiting for the spirits to go through. However, something is keeping many of the ghosts from boarding the train. There are fallen demons from all over the place. They've boarded the train. There is a sudden shudder from the Phantom Train. It is not a comfortable one. Once the party board the train, they will find all of the ghosts staring at them. However, they are not moving. They just gaze at the travelers. It is not out of wariness at the travelers. It is out of /fright/. Simultaneously, all of the ghosts gesture their heads at the path that leads to the next car. "...Buh?" Reize looks at the group, "...It looks like something here has spooked th ghosts." 

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Spooked... more like mortified. No wonder they looked so forlorn, they were being denied access. Aerith's eyes narrowed. Her right hand closed on the pale green wisp of light that she'd called up mere moments ago, and her six foot long Spirit Staff manifested with a flash. "We need to clear the train."

:'''[[Kaydin]] has posed:''' Kaydin nods "Must be something pretty bad to be able to frighten the dead." Kaydin says as he readies his sword before looking to Avira and Reize, and when Aerith speaks up, he nods. "Consider it done." He says as he looks to Reize and company. "How do you want to go about this?" He asks Avira and Reize.

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel totally did see that, she takes a bit of a step back and brings up her staff. "I did see that, and Reize prehaps one of us can double check the map once we get going?" she pauses at the dead and make a respectful bow to them. It's strange to know your gods can die by violence and such. Sadly Deelel's never caught on to her friends are aging and will die someday. Prehaps her ignorance is for the best. She seems a bit concerned about the othe thing ans she mvoes to follow it quick as she can,

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' Avira moves swiftly, never having forgotten her ways of navigating through forests quietly and quickly. It seems like all too soon she has come upon the waiting Phantom Train, its presence making her shudder just slightly. Board the train...? The very notion seems like nuts to her even though Avira's very well aware that living people can ride the train (and not die, given how one can strive to stay alive in the Underworld). Despite that, she doesn't hesitate and follows aboard, a look of dismay upon her face. "Spooked the spooks." Avira mutters. "What could unsettle the undead, I wonder? Maybe that spirit-eating creature you mentioned earlier has returned." She keeps her voice low as she moves through the car. "We need to find what's doing this first, Kaydin. Though maybe you should take the front. You're pretty solid, after all."

:'''[[Edison Reece]] has posed:''' "Scaring the dead..." Edison eyes the next car with a frown, not that people could notice it behind the faceplate. "I guess they just caught some freeloaders on the train... wonder if they have any idea where this line goes." he joked darkly, aiming one of his guns at the door. "I'll keep an eye on the door as you open it. Just don't get yourselves in the line of fire, please."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' For the ghosts within the ship to be spooked, the situation is proving serious. The group will also find that the train has been shuddering violently. The Phantom Train is becoming more violent as a toot bursts. Something is agitating the Phantom Train. Who dares disturb my progress? Meanwhile, the group continue along towards the car, making it over towards the very end of it. As the ghost watch the group pass by, it merely turns to face them. What lies ahead is not from this world... It is an Outsider... Those are the last words of the ghost until they reach through the car. They will find that the entrance takes them to a path where there are a lot of dark creatures around. There are about 5-6 of the creatures about. Their backs are turned towards the group. They have been fiddling around with parts of the train. As they turn around, the creatures reveal themselves. ...Fiends. These fiends have arrived from the darkness left as a ramnent from something. The fiends hiss at the group before they take a more aggressive stance. One of them even leaps through the door and past the group. Whipping his head around, Reize shouts, "Ack! Guys, I'll take care of that one!" The fiend is running somewhere, but Reize won't let it get away. As for the rest of the fiends, they snarl and hiss towards the group with a malicious look. Then, they grin. "More dinner..." 

:'''[[Kaydin]] has posed:''' Kaydin nods as he moves ahead between the people and ahead. When the fiends reveal themselves, he smirks. "Should find something else, I give indigestion." He says when they call him dinner. He then lunges in to send two slashes towards one of the fiends, hoping to kep them from progressing back at a pace uncomfortable to the others.

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' Avira pauses. "...did the train just...talk?" She looks to Aerith, who she knows is extra sensitive to spirits. "Can the train actually talk? Is it talking to us? I mean, yeah, it could be another one of those spirits on the train, right...?" Turns out it was the spirits. HA HA NO TRAINS CAN'T TALK THAT IS SILLY AND MEANT FOR CHILDREN'S TELEVISION SHOWS. "Oh, /fiends/. They must've fled after all the destruction by Shinryuu." Avira had some vivid images of battles between Heartless and Fiends a few weeks ago, even finding an old friend amongst them. Good thing Valeth isn't here with these guys. "Hmph! As if!" Avira snorts and withdraws the Spine. She slips sideways and leaps over seats to get at her quarry.

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel is not going to get into the fight, just yet. Deelel while experianced and quite good in a scrap? She needs to do some preperation as she was not built for it, a little bit of extra runtime use was never a bad thing and that's what she was doing she runs the commands and gets herself ready for the ssault. "Right... let's get to this!"

:'''[[Edison Reece]] has posed:''' The Ranger's head moves at the fiend's words, in an unspoken 'Oh really?' Seriously, these guys couldn't make it any easier, with them coming to the train that ferries souls to the underworld. "They really weren't the smartest of the litter, were they?" he asked, opening fire with fast, accurate shots of his guns. Some of them might really give the fiends a case of poisoning...

:'''[[Invading Fiends]] has posed:''' These fiends. They are human-sized, lanky built creatures that carry a hunched posture. They have massive claws that act as long blades. The dark-skinned creatures have a bald-shaped head and multiple sharp teeth. They only smile with a frightening gaze. As these creatures hunch over, they watch over the gathered group like preys, sizing them up and watching each move made. A sadistic glee washes over their features. With the Dark Knight taking the frontlines of the battle, the other creatures spread out, taking the rear. The space within the cart may be expansive, but there are a lot of seats and other things in the way to make the battle pretty cramped. As Kaydin lunges forward with a pressing slash, the beast reaches for a seat and tears it off from the train, having it collide with the blade. While the blade slices through the padding and against the hide, it was only a mere scratch thanks to the weapon cushioning its blow. The creature lunges forward with a claw swipe at Kaydin's chest. The chosen fiend of Avira is met with a hiss. Its eyes widen as the woman essentially tackles it down. This has the creature rolling along the seat from the impact. However, it seeks to take hold of the woman and draw those cutting claws into her arms. One fiend is picked off by Edison as a round strikes it down. The sapping of the poison dart runs through its veins, giving it a mild indigestion. The effects of the venom run in its bloodstreams. It sneers and it leaps from seat to seat before diving at Edison to knock him on the ground, possibly at the car's edge. Deelel meets with another fiend hopping from seat to seat. Then, it springs at her with its claws out with intent to pierce her.

:'''[[Kaydin]] has posed:''' Kaydin manages to avoid the claws before bringing his sword foreward, this time intending to cut through the creatures defenses as he slashes at him once before a second slash to cut through anything the creature may use as a shield.

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel is fast on her feet and she's quick on the draw with her disc as the fiends come for her she's already moving the moment they turn to come for her. She's then in the air as they strike, her own disc is lashing out already as she launches the shot it bounces back. She catches it as she lands and the disc is soon flying once more. While Deelel is making some more air time again, she intends to try to keep these things on the ropes. "It never fails every time we come here, something has broken, Reize! We're becoming the train's cleanup crew!"

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' Valeth had retained the shape of a human too! Though Avira didn't see him as THIS feral. The closer he got to Shinryuu the more he seemed to 'loose it' though. She'd have to track him down later...but for now... Getting into close quarters carried the risk of getting too close to the claws. The fiend singling her out seizes her by the arms and digs those claws in, earning a yelp of pain from the short woman. Only about a second or so passes before she strikes back pretty violently. With her arms pinned, she fights back with a vicious headbutt.

:'''[[Edison Reece]] has posed:''' Edison grunts as the demon, forces him to the ground, opening a nasty gash in his armor as well. However, the Ranger is used to this kind of adventures, and instead of panicking, he smacks the side of the head of the fiend with a chop, trying to get him off him. In the other hand, his second gun is aimed at the torso of the fiend before its owner does a double tap, hopefully making the bullets travers the short distance onto the flanks of the monster.

:'''[[Invading Fiends]] has posed:''' The claws of the fiend miss their mark, but instead rending against one of the seats of the train. This causes a nice rip on the normally pristine train. This is making the train shudder in the most uncomfortable way. The Train is displeased. While Kaydin gives a heavy arc of a slash, the breast brings its claws to grab the padding to use it as defense once more. However, the sword cleaves against the padding shield and tears against its hide. The fiend screams and then it spits out a cloudy dust in his eyes. The fiend that had targetted Deelel had tried to hack against her, but the disc manages to deflect it. It hisses and it turns to see her bringing the disk out once more. It is smacked across the legs, landing harshly on the train's ground. Peeling itself up, it roars in rage and it. Avira is locked by the monster's claws. It hisses out at her with the intent to rend her. Of course, the headbutt takes it by surprise and sends it flying across the car. It rolls along its back and t lands violently on the ground. It hisses before shooting the nails from its claws at her arms. As Edison swings at its head, the beast sweeps its head away from the swiping hand, and then it bounces around the ground to get away from the trajectory of the bullets. "Kekekkekekee!" It bounces around like a hopping jelly bean. It then shoots out its claws at the man. All of the creatures lunge out to swing their claws at the victims.

:'''[[Kaydin]] has posed:''' Kaydin manages to avoid the brunt of the attack, dust only managing to barely get into the corner of one eye before he wipes it away. He grunts as he moves in, bringing his sword upwards to try and knock his fiend into the air before sending a kick right for the beast to try and kick it out the window, or through a window, whichever happened first.

:'''[[Edison Reece]] has posed:''' "You think this is funny?" the Ranger asks at the cackling fiend, just before the latter decided to display its amazing shooting claw skills. Too bad Edison was mad now. Twisting his torso to avoid the claws, the Ranger punched the fiend's face, intent on following up with some more generous displays of overly enthusiastic affection. First, he spins on his heel and extends a leg roughly at head level. Then, he tries to grab the fiend by the shoulders and smacks his forehead at its face, before finishing to a knee in a place dear to every male.

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' Based on Avira's reaction, she certainly wasn't expecting it to be able to shoot nails at her! She does have her breastplate on which prevents her from taking a nasty shot to a more vital area. The chintinous bullets stick in the leather and metal though and some penetrate through to the skin. "You wanna play the range game!? Fine!" Avira jabs the Spine into the floor of the train before lifting her arms up as if she were holding an invisible bow. Where the arrow would be a blue shaft of light appears, solidifying into an ice crystal. Much like firing an arrow, the ice is shot at the clawed fiend.

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel keeps on moving and seems to be in quite the little dance of death with the fiends as they try to get her and she counter attacks. this time they wised up a little bit to her evading one of her attacks, however he's swit enough t not get caught by it's counter attack. Again she moves disc once more in hand? She launches it but it's a distraction as she's coming in with her armed light staff to hit it with the powered point before flipping away to catch her disc on the rebound!

:'''[[Invading Fiends]] has posed:''' Kaydin knocks his fiend into the air, followed by a kick. That kick is enough to have the creature fly out of the window with a scream. It lands on the ground with a harsh thud. Rolling on the ground, it hisses out. ...Then, the light of the Doomtrain falls upon it. ...One can hear a painful screech as a flash of light occurs from outside of the train. Who's next? Kaydin is good. His first demon has been dealt with. Right? Another one pops up towards Kaydin from behind with a sneak attack! The cackling fiend is punched in the face, losing a bit of its teeth. And then the leg slams against the head. Headbutt and then.. The fiend's pitch scream is... higher than normal. The arrow strikes true to the fiend fron Avira, causing its body to slowly freeze in place. The light disks strikes at the creature, it keeps smacking and smacking until it can't take it anymore. The monsters are growing pretty angry. All of the demons are tearing in the air, claws are slashing all over the place. The dark dust kicks off as they tear along the air to rend towards the party with harsh intent. 

:'''[[Kaydin]] has posed:''' Kaydin looks to be hit by the fiend from behind only to sidestep at the last moment. When it goes past him, he smirks as he tries to stab into the creature now, his stabs quick and he looks back to the others to see if they need any help with what they are doing.

:'''[[Edison Reece]] has posed:''' Edison tries to hit one of the enemies in the midst of that mess of limbs and dust, but the fiends are too fast, too agile. New rends are opened in his armor, reminding him that these are not your run-of-the-mill goblins, and that he has to step up his game as well. Guess what? He knows what to do. Waiting for an opening, he starts firing... and doesn't let up, laying a deluge of bullets on any enemy unlucky enough to get in the path of the bullets. And he does this advancing forward, looking for one of the fiends to show them the meaning of 'up close and personal'. This will not be pretty at all.

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' So Deelel is not so quick this time, actually she's not quick enough at all as the creatures come in at her. She's got some good hits in but the monsters are angry they are ripping into her. Deelel's cut up, in some places and she's looking pretty battered from the looks of it. She's not yet finished as she takes her disc in hand and engages the thing in close range, her movement is looking like she's almost dancing to some unheard song. She strikes brutally efficently and without a bit of mercy for these things.

:'''[[Invading Fiends]] has posed:''' Kaydin manages to avoid the surprise attack from the monster. It hisses in anger, then it turns to see the knight plunge its sword into its heart. The fiend gives a grunt before the sword pierces it. Its body slowly detiorates into nothingness. Meanwhile, Edison is undergoung lots of wounds from the fiends. The fiend prepares to move in for the kill until it is lit up with a deluge of bullets. As the man advances forward, it continues to become ripped apart until it disappears in the black mist. Deelel's dancing maneuver gives brutal strikes to the fiend, shattering it into tiny pieces. It too fades into the black mist. Thankfully, Avira managed to have things handled on her end, vanquishing the creature itself before it decides to get loose. It is moments later that Reize has managed to arrive back, looking a bit worse for wear. Cuts, bruises, and torn clothes show that the boy has been in a bit of a toussel. He winces, "Nnggh.. Those things were horrible. Thankfully, one of the ghosts managed to help me deal with the fiend." He looks around towards the group, "Is everyone alright?" With things clearing up, it looks like the ghosts are starting to finally board the train. The train will depart in 5 minutes. If you are alive, leave now or you will join the departed.

:'''[[Kaydin]] has posed:''' Kaydin does not seem to have any injuries. He looks to everyone else and nods to Reize when he comes. "Some healing for the others but we have completed our goal." He says and when the announcement came, he begins to look to others. "I think we should take the hint and get off." He says as he begins to help the injured off.

:'''[[Edison Reece]] has posed:''' "I concur." Edison says, brushing his fingers across the several cuts. The armor took the burnt of the attack, yes, but he'd need to take a look on these wounds and treat them accordingly. For now however, he was able to leave by his own. "No sense in staying around longer than necessary, trains wait for no-one.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' The garden has seen better days. However, over the past couple of days, the garden has started to see some improvements. Weeds had populated the area, leaving for the grass and plants to receive no water. Yet, the garden is still around. As the sunlight gives off a glow, the light offers a roaring heat in the day. The grass has needed some water for some more. On the other side is the outside bath. Reize is here, handling the weeds that have populated the area. "..Guh." He exhales a sigh, grimacing, "Too many weeds." He exhales a sigh, "....We will need to do something about these." He shakes his head, looking over at the flowers, "It'll be time to make some new plants!" He beams for a moment.

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' It's been some time. Not nearly as long as for others among the Shard Seekers, but Lynn's been out of Flourgis recently, and it's good to be back. Stumbling into the garden, she's glad for her odd watery hair keeping her cool in this weather. "Oh, Reize. Hey." It doesn't take her too long to notice him there. "What's going on? I don't think I've been in here before..."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize spends his time kneeling against one of the plants, digging the weed out with a serious look on his face. The boy grumbles, recalling the days of the chores to do out in the yard. How reminiscent that he would be finding himself in this situation again. Blink. Reize turns towards the source of a new voice, only to grin when he sees that it's Lynn, "Oooi! Lynn!" The boy stops what he is doing to greet her. "Hope that you have been adjusting out here at the headquarters." He looks a bit embarassed. "...Sorry to have bring you in when the place was not in the best shape." He lifts his head towards the sky, thoughtfully, "A few of us went on a voyage that turned into another adventure on its own... the headquarters was left to dust." Yet, a smile grows, "Ivo and I have been getting the place cleaned up again." He looks around the garden, gesturing a hand out, "When we first got the space here, this place had saw nothing but dirt. With a bit of help from Lily, Lenn, and Shiki, we turned this place to a wonderful garden." A frown grows, "However, a lot of weed grown here as well. There was an overgrowth, in fact. So, I've been doing some weeding!" He cups his fingers to his chin before a look of realization comes, "Oh! We also have a bathing area on the other side of the place. You may feel at home with the water." 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Lynn smiles back once the mutual realization of each other's presence has been made. "It's... been an interesting last few days, but I'm adjusting well enough... and no worries about what shape the room's in." A slightly guilty look crosses her face. "My room back home was probably worse." Looking over the garden a little as Reize explains its origins and its overweededness at present, she bites her lip upon noticing the state of the soil. "No wonder nothing but weeds grows well here right now..." Pulling water from her hair and a bit from the air, she sends it coursing through the soil in an attempt to revitalize those plants that need it most. The mention of a bathing area does prompt a raised eyebrow, though she's a bit preoccupied with hydrokinetic manipulations. "Sounds nice... I may have to pay it a visit in a little bit."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Hahhaa, don't worry too much about Ivo!" The boy grins at her, "He is a bit playful at times, but he means well. He is a reliable person. I am sure that you'll grow to find him a great friend." The boy frowns, thinking about the shape of the headquarters, "...It feels like everyone has thought that we died." He shakes his head, "Nevertheless, thanks to a job that we took not too long ago, we manage to pay off a good deal of the bills." He looks thoughtful, "We've been getting some new clients as well recently. So, the Shard Seekers will have a new set of adventuring to look forward to." After a moment, "...And then there are some investigations that I've been looking into. A darkness out within the woods. I am gathering some of the Shard Seekers to investigate the crater. Something about a Shinryu." After a moment, Reize thinks over the matter, looking back at Lynn as she uses the water from her hair to bring the plants back to life. A smile grows, watching the vibrant colors of the fallen plants return. "I think you will do well here, Lynn. This place could use your care." He stretches both arms in the sky, then he asks, "What was your home like?" 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' "At least things are getting back to a more normal state around here. Or what I'd assume is normal." Lynn pauses, an 'awkward moment' sort of expression crossing her face. "Don't mind me, I'm not sure where I was going with that line of thought..." Then a headtilt. "A crater out in the woods, and something about a Shinryu...? I'm... not familiar with the name. There wasn't one in my world, and I haven't heard about it from anyone else outside there yet." The question about her home is expected enough that Lynn doesn't really have to think about it before answering. "I'm from a town known as Onrac. Had three siblings; two brothers, one sister, all older than me, all better mages than me." She goes silent for a bit, transferring the water flow over to the next part of the garden. "...to be completely honest, I can't actually use magic. It might look like magic, but all this stuff I can do with water... isn't me." Perhaps not a great topic, as her mood turns toward solemnity.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Yeah." The boy looks wistful. He cannot help but smile at the thought of imagining the state of the headquarters being revived. Even if Reize did not want to remain at the place for a long time, this was home for the Shard Seekers. ...Reize has grown to appreciate that, now. Regarding the crater, the boy offers, "Not me neither. This was recent information that has been passed onto me by my friends as I was getting settled back in." He frowns, "The more that I don't know about this..." A grin forms, "The more I want to explore it." "Ah.." It is about time that she is opened about her answer. Reize takes the moment to turn around and lay his head against the grass. Both of his arms move to the back of his head. His gaze locks towards clouds and he turns his head to hear her tale. "...Ah..." A relaxed smile forms, "So they are magic-users." However, when she starts to give a more solemn look, the boy notices the look on her face. A frown forms, deciding to switch gears of the topic. Perhaps this should help. "I grew up in a small hamlet. It was surrounded by forests for kilometers." His eyes drift shut, grinning. "There were... maybe twelve houses in all. No other town or village was around for so many kilometers. However, we were self-sufficient. We relied on farming and hunting for survival." He grins, "The hamlet has been around for over 500 years!" "I am the only child of a former explorer and a knight." There is a look of pride, "I always wanted to be an explorer just like he was." 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' The change of topic is welcome, and her solemnity slowly fades away. She flops down on the grass next to him, her work with the water done for now. "...sounds like a neat sort of goal to shoot for in life. I'd love to help with that, if there's anything I can do. I... mostly just want to go around helping people however I can. The world could be a better place if only people would do good things for each other more often, and I want to see that happen..." Perhaps a bit naive, but she's fourteen, what can one really expect?

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Noticing that solmen look on her face fading away, the boy brightens inwardly. He exhales. As Lynn joins him along the grass, Reize opens an eye to look over her. "Well, when you have lived in a small place out in the boonies for so long, you know you want something more in life." He furrows his eyebrows, "Especially when you learn of the adventures that your own dad went to!" The boy looks a bit annoyed. He was always barred from venturing off too far. ...Not that he listened. As she offers to help him on his journey, Reize props himself up to glance her way. "Lynn, I'll be glad to have you with me." Hearing her desire for a peaceful world, the boy gently rests a hand towards her shoulder. "Knight's Code, Second Vow: Let's all work together for a peaceful world. The Shard Seekers, the Twilight Detective Agency, and VALKYRI all want to create a better world for the people. Even if we all have different goals, we come together to ensure that the world is a better place. ...Whether it is recovering a world or keeping the world from falling."

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Lynn chuckles at Reize's mention of how one might want something more in life when they've lived in a small place for so long. Her amusement turns into a sincere grin when Reize declares he'd be glad to have her with him; it's about what she'd hoped he'd say. She almost flinches when she suddenly feels his hand on her shoulder. Almost. No reason to freak out from that. "Aheh. I guess I should be glad I found this place, then, so that I'm not alone in those thoughts." A brief pause. "...can't say I know of the detective agency, though, or the... valkyrie group?" Confusion enters her tone and expression. "Who are they, anyway?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' There is a fulfilled enjoyment of the girl's company. Perhaps that she and him are similar in some ways. A bit of that naive justice in them both that makes the kinship a fast growing one. Nevertheless, Reize is happy to see a sincere grin form from the girl. Though, Reize does feel something when he touched her shoulder. He is uncertain as to what, but it was enough that he slowly pulls the hand away, yet maintaining a smile. Instead, his hand rests on the ground, a bit of a distance but still beside her "Well, as I said, consider this a home away from home. Many of the Shard Seekers here have." To her confusion, Reize only notes, "Well, the Twilight Detective Agency are from a world where... golems are moving! They move pretty fast! They're called cars!" He thinks, "Landships or something! Anyway, they solve mysteries and handle investigations." He smiles, "VALKYRI is led by a rival of mine, Avira. She seeks to hunt monsters with her group. However..." He scratches his head, "...I don't know what they exactly do." "Mercade leads the Twilight Detective Agency and Avira leads the VALKYRI. We often work together when we can. I'll be sure to take you out to their headquarters when the opportunity arises." 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' The mention of 'moving golems' called 'cars' doesn't particularly help Lynn's confused expression, because don't golems move on their own? Otherwise they'd just be rock, wouldn't they? Perhaps theory gets in the way of practical experience. The actual job description of the Twilight Detective Agency was more useful, though. The relative lack of a job description for VALKYRI (besides monster hunting), on the other hand, was not. "That would be nice... I'd love to meet them sometime, see what they're like." She flops down onto her back, gazing upward, spacing out a little before her gaze gradually drifts west.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Admittedly, Reize knows that he did a very bad job in describing the modern type of worlds. The boy lifts a finger as he adds, "...I would have to show you those cars for you to believe it." He frowns, "I never thought of a good way to describe it. Other than it moves like a giant bull, except that it is made of metal. It's an armored bull with small wheels." He muses, "Yeah, that's how I can describe it!" Once Lynn relaxes on the grass, the boy's eyes gaze towards the clouds. "You'll find them interesting, especially a guy named Will. He tends to eat everything." He grumbles, "He ate everything in our fridge while I was away." He exhales an exasperated sigh. His antenna hair flops to the left, and then to the right. A smile is awarded to Lynn, "It's relaxing out here at the garden." He frowns, "Truth be told, I am not used to the desert life. Part of me wishes that this was a forest, but, it'll take some getting used to. Hopefully, it shouldn't disturb you too much." The one thing that Reize wonders, if it is not her that is using the magic. Reize actually smiles. " ...I can't use magic either, actually. Not without this." He reaches a hand over towards his pendant around his neck. The glimmering green jewel lights up briefly. "What you helped me get back was something given to me by my father when I was younger. However, I learned that it is a very special relic." 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Reize's attempt at describing cars is not exactly helping. After a while, she just gives up on trying to understand it. The mention of Will does spark a response in her, though. "Will? I, uh. Might have sorta run into him a few days ago... maybe. If it's the same Will I think it is." She shrugs, though it's up to Reize whether to pursue that tangent or not. The location doesn't bother her too much, but when the topic drifts back toward magic and the lack thereof, her expression falters partway. "...so that's why the pendant is so important to you, why you were so driven to get it back on the day we met..." A forced chuckle. "Heh. I have... nothing like that. What lets me use something akin to magic is... just the opposite, actually."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Ahh? Ran into Will? The boy quirks an eyebrow, then a smile grows. "He's a good guy! ...Odd, but a good guy! He is extremely lucky!" The thoughts with Will is brief, but he thinks back to his pendant. "The pendant has a lot of ties, more than I thought. A good deal of it.. the pendant is important to me because my father gave it to me. It was my token for my bravery." He looks proud as can be at that. "I was eight at the time; I fought off a wolf from getting my friends, but I was almost killed." He grimaces at the memory. His eyes cast low, "A voice has guided me to try to get the pendant restored." The boy considers going into the details, but he decides not to. However, the sight of her expression faltering, the boy adds, "... I'd like to hear your tale, Lynn." He gives her a reassuring smile, "However, if you do not want to go into it, I understand." 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Lynn nods, sitting up, her gaze cast downward. "...as I said, I'm from the town of Onrac, born to a family of magic-users. Unlike my siblings, though, I can't use magic. I wouldn't be this upset about it if that were all there was to it, though..." A tired sigh, then, "You don't know what it's like to grow up in a prestigious family of mages and be the one kid who can't use magic at all. The jokes, the jabs, the insults... they got really old really fast. Every day, unceasingly, without fail." Tucking her legs against her chest and curling up into a ball, she continues, eyes closed. "...I left town, floating across the high seas in a barrel. I honestly expected to die. And I would have died, drowning out in the middle of nowhere..." Her hair begins adjusting shape somewhat. "...a pact my deluded mind made with one of the local water elementals saved me, and solved most of my problems at the same time." She tilts her head toward Reize a little bit. "...ever wondered what the deal with my hair is?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' The boy takes the time to rise to a seating position, scooting closer to Lynn to hear her side of the story. However, as Reize hears more of what the girl had to endure, Reize looks a bit more solemn. "... No, I wouldn't really know of that sort of thing." To be fair, Reize was not part of a lineage. He was just a simple boy from a hamlet in the middle of nowhere. A place of hunters. However, the boy takes care to continue listening to her situation. As she curls onto a ball, he can tell that she is becoming increasingly uncomfortable as she opens up a bit of herself to him. That is when Reize lifts a hand up to bring it over to her shoulder. "Thank you for sharing your story with me." The smile remains sincere, "I'm sorry that you had to endure that. However, the pact you made with the local elemental is an opportunity." A thoughtful look forms as he places a hand towards his chin, "I always did wonder why your hair was watery." He shakes his head slowly, "No matter. The important thing is that you are still around. You're able to do things that you want to do. It's through the bond of the elemental that you're doing what you've wanted to do." "...Only thing we can do is move forward, right?" He tilts his head with the beaming smile. 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Lynn is quiet for a while before she answers as she gives Reize's response some thought. "...I guess. The past is stuck being the past, while the future can change... only sensible way is forward. It's... hard to forget the past sometimes, but I guess that's just one more reason to go out and explore nowadays, to overwrite bad memories with good ones from new friends and new experiences." Her gaze drifts up toward her hair for a moment. "...hm?" A short silence, then, "Nereid wants to say that she agrees with your perspective on the matter. I guess that makes three of us."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "...It is painful, I know." Reize looks ahead, giving a frown as a reminiscent thought lingers, "It's a painful past that we'd like to forget, but..." He smiles, "We can also move on and not let the past be painful anymore." Reize beams, "Consider me a friend, Lynn!" He looks over towards her hair and then back towards Lynn, "Hello, Nereid." He smiles, "So, that makes Nereid one of your friends as well! With time, you will have many of the Shard Seekers as your friend." After a moment, Reize removes the hand from Lynn's shoulder and he stands up. "Ahh... I suppose it's about time to turn in. Will have to start gathering folks soon for an exploration." 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Lynn lets out a somewhat nervous chuckle as Reize attempts to say hello to the water elemental lurking within her. It's kind and amusing but she's well aware what it looks like. Perhaps a little over-conscious in that respect. He does have a good point, though. "I should hope so. You all seem like a nice bunch, even if some of you are rather... eccentric." She pauses for a second, realizes the hypocrisy, and adds, grinning, "...like I'm one to talk about eccentric." Reize's remark about turning in does make her realize what time it is. "Oh. I suppose it is." She stands up after him. "I suppose I'll be seeing you, then?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' In all of Reize's time of adventuring, he has seen many things. So, given the fact that the girl houses the water elemental in her, the boy suspects that the creature is still alive and within her. So, why not treat Nereid like a person? The young adventurer straightens himself and he stretches both hands in the air. "Yeah. I will definitely get some sleep." Ahh, at least the male's quarters is different from the female's quarters. He gives a bright smile, "Goodnight, Lynn." Then he walks through the patio and into the headquarters once more.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Welcome to Fluorgis This is the air trade city, busy with life due to the adventurers that migrated from all parts of the world. Fluorgis is the central hub of activity, evident by the crowd of adventurers coming from different backgrounds, ethnicity, and species. Many of them range from moogles to even dark-skinned humans that are chatting amongst each other out at the squares. The sun shines as bright, emitting a blazing heat. However, the relief comes in the form of the freshwater for the inhabitants. Being the place of an oasis, it has lavish flora filled with brilliant colors. At the top, the ider rock leads out to the port of the airship. Out along the bridge of the brustling city, a boy is sitting at the rail of the bridge, looking up towards the airship port. He cannot help but consider the tale that was imparted to him from Maira. "...So, the Shadowlords will be coming for the Fire Crystal... A dragon of darkness named Shinryuu, and so much more." He furrows his eyebrows, then he exhales an exaggerated sigh. He reaches into his pouch to procure an apple. *CHOMP* "..Mmm..." Simple things in life. Part of him missed this place. The leader of the Shard Seekers has returned to his second home. 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' It is temperatures like these that make a certain young girl thankful for what she has. Shielding her eyes from the sun, she looks around at the city she has found herself in. It's a drastic change from home, and the variety of people living there is something she hasn't experienced before. Of course, it's not like she's entirely free from being considered unusual here either, what with her hair seemingly thinking it's water. Maybe that's why she's not so bothered by the heat. Wandering along rather aimlessly, she comes to a bridge, and on that bridge, there is a boy sitting on the rails. Curiosity getting the better of her, she walks over to investigate. "Hello."

:'''[[Moguma]] has posed:''' Naturally, a place with so much traffic, especially of the adventurer variety, would attract some particularly bold (some might even say foolhardy) thieves. Here today is one of those thieves, Moguma, a Moogle much like the others that live in this city. Although he was at first shocked to find that his skills and abilities weren't very unusual here, Moguma quickly took advantage of that fact to blend in and keep a low profile, waiting for a juicy target to present themselves. And right now, as the little Moogle thief crosses the bridge to begin a patrol of the other side, something catches his eye. A pendant, made of some shiny green crystal, hanging from the neck of a lone boy, probably one of the many adventurers that populate this place. Before he even realizes what he's doing (not that he'd stop himself either way), Moguma launches himself across the bridge at that pendant, pulling out his whip and snapping it toward Reize's legs to try to sweep him off his feet. His eyes gleam with greed, and his paw stretches out toward his prize...

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Admittedly, Reize had been lost in his own thought as he chewed his apple. For a couple of months, Reize enjoyed his freedom from the burden that was his role as the leader of an organization. What was supposed to be a small group of people, like-minded individuals, turned out to be one of the largest and influencial Clans for its time. Unfortunately, that time was spent casted away. ...That was the catch of that freedom. As he continues to chew his apple while lost in his own thoughts, he is knocked out of his thoughts by the sound of a voice. 'Hello' The boy's eyes become as wide as can be as he looks around frantically, "Huh?!" Swishing to the side, he looks to the left, and then to the right, and then he looks over towards the girl his own age that approached him. The leader of the Shard Seekers brightens to a friendly demeanor while a hand extends to a wave. "Ooi! I take it that you just arrived here? You may find a place to rest out at the inn not too far---- about..." ... ... ... "Where was the inn again?" The boy rubs his chin, trying to recall the direction to the inn. "Maybe it was a left... or a right.." He extends an index finger as he looks at her with newfound realization, "Oh! I remember now! If you go..." As the boy offers the direction, the whip suddenly snatches out towards his ankles. "...Buh?!" When he yelps in surprise, Reize is yanked off of the railing, hitting his head and back against the ground with a harsh thud. "Arghhh!" He clutches his head, grimacing. "What th--nggh.." Before he knew it, someone ran over to snatch his pendant from his neck. His eyes widen before he glares, "Ooi! Thief!" The boy is haphazardly rolling to his feet, trying to recollect himself while the pain starts to subside from him. This alerts many of the adventurers, who look around to see where the commotion is coming from. Some of the adventurers ignored it, but those that are familiar with the Shard Seekers, well... many of them are turning around and trying to see where the boy is shouting at. 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Lynn Cascadia tries to suppress a chuckle as the boy gets confused about where an inn might be. Not what she was looking for, but good to know nonetheless. That said, she'd been focusing on him enough that she didn't notice the whip lashing out at him until it was a bit too late. When he does get yanked, though, she staggers backwards, startled by what the heck just happened. Once the initial shock wears off, though, she runs over to him, quickly manipulating some water off from her hair and whirling it around the boy's body in tight spirals to try and soothe the pain a bit. Part water, part magic. It'll do. "A-Are you all right...?"

:'''[[Moguma]] has posed:''' Moguma sails right over Reize, snatching the pendant off of Reize's neck as he passes. When he hits the ground, he rolls into a sitting position, holding the stone up to watch it glitter in the sunlight. It's so pretty, and shiny, and.../probably/ valuable. Definitely a keeper. "Hahaha, got a great catch this time!" he thinks aloud, but his celebration is cut short by the sudden cry from behind him. It's then that he notices many of the adventurers around the area turning to look at him, and his brain immediately calculates that the odds of him winning a fight like this are very, very low. "Oh, uh, hi there. I'm just gonna...go. Bye!" The next instant, moving with all the speed of a thief who's been at it his whole life, the Moogle turns toward the railing and leaps over it, putting the pendant in his mouth and performing a neat swan dive into the river below. In situations like these, it's best to take the path of least resistance!

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Lynn was not the only one shocked. Reize did not know what hit him. Literally. Even worse, his pendant is missing from his neck. Reize is not a happy person right now. He's rolling onto his knees. When the girl runs over to the boy, he glances over at her with a dizzied look. As the water from her hair swirls around his body, hec an feel the pain slowly ebb over him. "Ahhh!" He looks back over towards her, giving her a relieved smile. "Thanks for the help.." He turns back towards the thief, "But I can't let him get away! He has my pendant!" As the thief makes his way towards the river, one of the adventurers call out, "Hey, kiddo! He's heading towards the river!" Reize glances towards Lynn with an apologetic smile, "I wish I could help you out---but I got to get my pendant back from that thief!" The boy shifts back towards the bridge that the moogle jumped out of and the boy sprints after him, "Come back, you thief!" And he witness the dive. Reize looks at the water. He stares as the moogle is getting away. The tide of the water washes along, roaring threateningly. Well, actually, the water looks rather peaceful, but to Reize, the water has a pair of eyes, glowering with sharp teeth. His knees rattle and he is hugging himself. "...I can't swim..." A river of tears run along Reize's eyes in the most comical manner. One of the adventurers, a knight, just looks at Reize. Sigh. "You want to get your pendant back, right?" Shove. !!!! And Reize is falling down the river, "CAN'T SWIM! CAN'T SWIM! THIS IS NOT HELPFUL!!!" Splash! The water makes a thunderous splash as the boy makes his landing to the water. As a boat is passing by, the boy reaches to the edge of a passing boat and he gasps for air. "..grghghgnk!" Comical tears flow along his eyes, "...I hate the water." 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Lynn's well aware of the pendant's theft now that her mind has had the time to comprehend events, and she follows the boy along, very much wanting to help him get his pendant back. She watches the... whatever it is, they didn't have those sorts of critters back home... thief dive into the water, and then the boy has a breakdown over an inability to swim. This prompts a raised eyebrow from Lynn, followed by an unhappy glare at the knight after he shoves the boy in. She's not so afraid of the water, hopping up on the edge of the bridge and down into the water, mimicking the thief's neat swan dive. Shaping the water around herself and the boy, she smiles. "You'll be fine now. I've got you." If Reize is sound of mind enough to feel what's going on around him, he's supported by a cushion of water. No need for flailing to stay afloat any more. There are advantages to her brand of strange. This is one of them.

:'''[[Moguma]] has posed:''' Moguma swims like his life depends on it- and as far as he knows, it does- to get away before anyone thinks to come after him. Unfortunately, it seems that these adventurers are good at thinking on their feet, as the sound of someone splashing down in the water behind him confirms. As he looks back to see who it was, though, the true depth of his error becomes clear. A water elemental! But, Moguma can think quickly too. He scans the water around him for signs of life, and sure enough, there are some fish swimming around the river. Nothing he can use to put these people down for good, but they should at least serve as an adequate distraction to put some distance between them and him. The Moogle stops for a moment in the water, taking the pendant out of his mouth and pointing toward Reize and Lynn. Almost unconsciously, he begins working his influence on the fish, as many as he can for as far as he can. "Attack!" he orders, and then immediately resumes his escape, now at a more frantic pace. The fish, in the meantime, may prove little threat, but they prove very persistent under Moguma's control, leaping out of the water and slapping or biting their two targets to slow them down.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' The adventuring knight looks at the glaring little girl with a shrug, "Kiddo, I've known Reize for a while. ...He would had remained frozen if no one did anything. We'll call it tough love." He looks down towards the boy, "Now get that pendant, kid! You're a knight! Remember!" As the water shapes itself around the boy, Reize is exhaling a deep breath. He tries to catch his breath and remember where he is at. His eyes drift low to see that he's afloat of a cushion of water. Blink. "Whoa!" Reize looks rather amazed by her as she keeps him propped. "Oi! Thanks!" He is rather cheerful at this point. However, what complicates the matter is the sight of small fish swimming towards them. "Hey, look! There are a lot of fish swimming our way!" ... "...Wait, what?" And the school leap out to start slapping and biting at the group. "Ow ow ow." The boy flails his arms around, then he grabs his boomerangs to swing at the creatures. "Get away!" The boy grits his teeth, "Okay.. that's it!" The boy reaches into his pouch to procure a bag of pepperdust. He smacks it a bit to send the pepper at the fish, and then he tosses them over towards the water. To guide it along, Reize reaches out to grab both boomerangs and he flings it towards Moguma's head. "Haaaaa! You're not getting away, you jerk!" One of the boomerangs, however, arcs at an angle to capture the chain of the pendant. 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Lynn is happy to have been of service, but her thoughts are quickly put aside when suddenly OH GOD FISH. Putting up an aquatic barrier to turn as many of the fish aside as she can, a few still manage to smack her in the face and gnaw on her. That's not very nice. Turnabout is fair play, though. Catching an oncoming blob's worth of fish (and peeling off the fish already harassing her), she directs the water back at the thief, dragging the fish along with it. Time for a taste of his own medicine. Fish oil, perhaps?

:'''[[Moguma]] has posed:''' Moguma would laugh to himself right now if it weren't for the pendant in his mouth and the risk of accidentally choking on the water. Just the thought of all those fish flopping around and trying to keep those two from following him is hilarious, even though it seems to actually be working...at least until he looks back again and sees a couple of boomerangs headed his way. Acting swiftly, Moguma propels himself out of the water, flapping his bat-like wings and twisting to evade both of the curved weapons. He can feel the wind from their passing on his fur, coming within mere inches of him, but the moment passes and he's already turning around to fly away. But then, he's taken by surprise when a big blob of water and fish crashes into him, slamming him back down into the water while the terrified creatures nibble and slap him in their panic. He tries to wrestle them back under control, succeeding after a few more moments, but not without some red marks under his fur. Even worse, the whole thing has left him out of breath. Spying a nearby boat, the Moogle swims over to it and flies aboard, throwing its sole occupant overboard and diving belowdecks to buy some time to regain his breath. He takes the pendant out of his mouth again, drawing in ragged gasps. He can't even be bothered to look at the thing right now.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' The boomerangs miss their mark. Reize is not doing so hot in getting his pendant back. The boy is growling under his breath, "That thing is important! You....!" He grits his teeth. However, when the stranger sends the water back towards the thief, with the fish attacking him, Reize has a smile growing on his face. "Okay, we are getting closer to him!" While a boat passes by, Reize can see the small critter stowaway in and then throw one of the occupant overboard. Reize's eyes widen in shock. "Oh no!" He looks over towards Lynn, "Hey, could you use your water control to help give me momentum?" The boy is preparing himself to dash forward. "..I'm going to make this dive... I am going to need your help on this." As the boomerangs return to his hands, he places them to his side and he quickly whips out the one device that shall help him turn the tide. The hookshot. Reize procures the small device from his pouch, and it makes a clicking noise. Reize points the hookshot towards the boat and then he shoots out towards it. The hookshot latches over to the boat and Reize swoops in to capture the man with an arm and try to bring himself back up. Of course, with the weight of the water, this alone may not help. 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' While the boy's boomerangs missed their mark, Lynn's fish-and-water assault did not. Granted, it wasn't meant to hurt THAT much, but the fact that it connected is still something. The fact that the thief dumped someone overboard from the boat he was hijacking... was a less pleasant something. The boy she was working with had the same idea, it seemed, and strange minds think alike. Nodding when asked to give help, she floods (pun intended) the water around him with her control, giving him a push for extra momentum and then preventing it from impeding his travel much at all. It's practically like moving through air. All the while, the water around HER is swirling about, beginning to grow into somewhere between a whirlpool and small waves, with her at its center...

:'''[[Moguma]] has posed:''' Okay, Moguma's caught his breath at last. But while he was down in the cargo hold, his pursuers have had plenty of time to catch up to him, confirmed with a quick peek outside. The Moogle ducks back belowdecks, racking his brain for a plan. Okay, maybe he can try to take out the boy first, and then fly away before the girl can hit him again with her weird water magic. On the other hand, if he's too slow, she'll have the upper hand and just knock him down again. It's risky, but it just means he'll have to be fast. So, he executes the first part of his plan, darting up onto the deck and toward Reize while the human is handling the boat's previous occupant. Time seems to slow down for Moguma, one second stretching into an eternity as he draws a dagger from his belt and makes a flying leap. Step two, he tries to punch Reize in the face with as much strength as he can muster, then stab him in the back as he flies past. Step three, getting away before Lynn can finish whatever it is she's doing, will be the hard part...

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' With the hookshot keeping hold of the boat, Reize keeps a tight hold of the device and the man that he rescued. However, Reize is not alone in this affair. As the water is flooded around him, they move aside and allow him to use the momentum of his swing to net him purchase towards the boat itself. After the landing, Reize sets the man down, kneeling down to the side, then he looks over at the man, "Oi! Are you alright?" He gives the man a few pats to the cheek, "Speak to me!" His concern for the man grows, the expression faltering to a worried look. ...However, Reize can see an unfamiliar shadow come over him. Reize quickly swings his arm over to fling the older man to the side while he turns around. The arms are crossed together and he springs back--- --- And Reize is gone. Instead, Reize appears right behind Moguma, twitching with an annoyed glare. "Hand my pendant back, you jerk!" This is followed the hook of his hookshot still attached to the boat, seeking to capture the moogle's arm before he lunges in to swing his right foot towards his forehead with a roundhouse kick, then he twists over to slam the left leg out with a roundhouse.

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Preparation is complete. And just in time, too. The boy's caught up with the thief, and the two are fighting, though it's a wee bit hard to tell who's winning yet. Yet. The whirlpool around Lynn surges upwards, creating an enormous tornado of water, which then proceeds to arc toward the boat, crashing down at such an angle as to knock the thief flat on the boat instead of letting them escape, with a force that might have split the boat if she weren't being very precise and very careful, instead having the water slosh off after the water-tornado hits. In fact, that sort of precision would be necessary in order to not peg her partner with it...

:'''[[Raine Arland]] has posed:''' Raine Arland. Mysterious man of mysterious mystery. Man of a thousand faces and badass extraordinaire. That is he. Maybe. "Heh, not bad, not bad. I gotta say, that merchant knew his stuff. If I were any more paranoid, I'd say that-" BOOM. "HOLY APOSTLE ON A CRACKER, WHAT THE F--" SPLASH. Raine is drenched. t "......" Twitching and dripping wet, the young man stood there, eyeing what seemed to be some sort of altercation...of the magical sort, witth a very unamused stare. "...My threads." "My awesome threads!" It was just his usual black and red pants and jacket. "HEY! YOU GUYS!" He pointed at the parties currently in combat. "What's the big idea here!? In what sort of world would you ever think to drench someone as utterly amazing as I am!?" "I mean, MY THREADS!" Priorities.

:'''[[Moguma]] has posed:''' No plan survives contact with the enemy, and this only serves to prove that old adage true. Moguma quickly finds that the boy he's supposed to be punching and stabbing has managed to get behind him, and suddenly he's caught by the arm with a hook! The points dig painfully into his skin, but the Moogle grits his teeth and ducks under Reize's kicks, yanking the hook off of him in the brief moment he has afterwards. But it's too late. Because of that little foul-up, Moguma has stayed in one place too long and left himself completely open to the girl with the water magic. He can only stop and stare at the wall of water arcing toward him before it crashes down atop him like a ton of proverbial bricks, smashing him into the deck of the boat and crushing the breath out of him. And yet, through all of this, his kleptomania ensures that he keeps his grip on that pendant. When the rushing torrent finally subsides, Moguma is too dazed to notice Raine shouting about his threads, not that he'd care overly much to begin with. /His/ priorities involve getting the heck out of here with his sweet loot. After a bout of hacking, coughing, and generally trying to get the water out of his lungs, Moguma stands up and lurches toward the boat's mast, wrapping his stubby little arms around it. With a pained grunt that quickly builds into an outright yell, muscles straining underneath his fur even with the added power of his magic belt, he pulls on it with all his might. At first, nothing happens, but then, with an ominous creak followed by a loud CRACK, the whole thing snaps off at the base. Moguma, by now, is so red with the exertion that it even shows through his white fur, and he stumbles back a few steps before he can steady himself. He'd love to say something, /anything/, but he's pretty sure he'd drop the massive log if he did. So, instead, he just swings it down at Reize and, by extension, Lynn, letting gravity help him out. Yeah, sorry Lynn. This boat's not gonna survive.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize manages to make close contact with Moguma. This is good. The boy manages to keep the close distance to where he can strike the man more when needed. It is after the moogle escaping the hold that Reize grips the hookshot to bring the chain back. Placing it over to his pouch, Reize turns his head over towards Lynn, who is arriving up towards the boat. Soon, a whirlpool surges upward, that whirlwind of water arcs around and crashes down. Reize is starting to spring back to get himself out of the danger range, "Whoa!" He looks over towards Lynn, "That's pretty dangerous!" He looks back to the unconscious man who was thrown overboard. A frown grows, then he grits his teeth to heft the man over his shoulder. And then.. a man stood there. Wait, that guy is familiar. He was the one that Will was cursing bad luck on. That strange man complains about his threads. Before Reize could interject, he looks towards the moogle, who is preparing for something. "Uhhh, we'll talk about your threads later! Catch!" The boy moves to shove the unconscious man over towards Raine, "Get him out of here!" Just in time. ...Moguma releases an exertion that includes a yell. The crack of the flooring and the boat tear apart, flying towards the other occupants, "Get away, everyone!" Both boomerangs are drawn. Reize takes a step forward and he uses the ball of the right foot to press up against the ground and shoot him forward like a bullet. As the debris flies towards Reize's direction, the boy twists his body around, letting his feet off of the ground in the twist as the avoids the impact of the debris. "HUNTING HAWK!" Reize extends both of his hands forward, swinging the boomerangs out to strike towards the moogle's form. However, the boy is not exactly aiming for the moogle. It's his pendant. The boy gets his prize back. His pendant. His sacred treasure. As more of the debris comes up, Reize is running along the board and the padding, avoiding the cuts and scrapes that was likely to come(if not worse), and he uses it to leverage himself into the air. "SKY RAIDER!" Reize turns his direction towards the moogle, diving down with his foot out to impact against the moogle. The pendant is placed back around his neck. The eyes flutter shut and the boy feels that sudden urge fill him. It is that strength within him, calling for its power. "THIS IS MY WILL!" A well of energy explodes from the boy as he sweeps the right arm across. A blue ring spirals around him, then he brings the right hand across to the left side. His pendant begins glowing ominously. As the boy feels the essence of the magic draw in his hand, Reize channels the nature of the pendant to his imagination. This is his will. This is the pendant that responds to it. The wishes of the people. The wishing pendant answers Reize's call, radiant light beaming to a blinding light. "The eyes of the flames, I call upon you. Let your wrath be known." As the boy channels the energy, it appears as a tarot card in his hand. All of that magic is condensed into a glittering tarot. Then, Reize shoots the right hand to the sky, allowing that glowing tarot to spiral out of his hand before they break apart. In place are three large balls of fire appearing around the boy. Extending his hand forth, the boy calls out, "Nova Flash!"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Those converging flames soon form together, darting as they come together into a giant ball of fire. That massive ball of fire is shooting straight towards the moogle. 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' There's a worried-sounding response of "Sorry!" from Lynn when Reize points out that yes, the water tornado is dangerous. She puts a little more effort into controlling where it goes after it hits, trying not to accidentally wash the person they had been trying to save overboard. Of course, those efforts ended up being interrupted when the thief somehow ripped the mast off the ship and... tried to hit them both with it. "Crap crap crap crap crap--" Putting up a rolling water barrier, she managed to get the mast to shove her out of the way of itself, but the resulting splash sent her flying, which took her several seconds of floundering about before she could properly catch herself on a geyser. And then, fire. Where did that come from? Had Reize gotten his pendant back? Did that have something to do with it? Letting herself down slowly while walking along toward the ship supported by the geyser, she tried to stick to watching the fight for now, rather than risking intervening with something else that could seriously hurt the boat or the people on it.

:'''[[Raine Arland]] has posed:''' "Huh? Wait, get who out of wha-?" Raine sputtered as an unconscious man was unceremoniously shoved at him. "Oh come on! Do I look like some kind of giving, selfless her-erk!" No one was listening and there was a body weighing him down. "Greaaaaaaat." A resigned sigh as the young man gathered up the unconscious man, pulling him over to the side of a building and setting him down to rest. "Hey. Hey. Wake up." A few light slaps to eother side of the face followed. "Oi. ...Guh, nothing. Whatever." He rolled his eyes and turned his attention back over to the conflict. "..Wow, that's not too bad." He mumbled arching a brow at Reize's display of skill. "Well, not as good as I am, but gotta give the kid some credit. Heh heh-" And even now, he managed to slip in a pat of the back to himself. What a jerk. "Yo! You guys finished screwing around over there?" He called out, shuddering from how drenched his clothes were. "Damn it, I didn't sign up for this stuff." He mumbled, tugging at his collar.

:'''[[Moguma]] has posed:''' Moguma lets go of the mast, panting like he's just run a marathon. Or, y'know, ripped a huge log out of a boat. "Sheesh, that thing was heavy. At least I..." he starts to say, but then realizes that Reize is still up and ready to fight. "...didn't get him!? Aww /come on/!" In his exhausted state, the Moogle is too slow to stop the boy from regaining his pendant, though he at least blocks the brunt of the kick with his forearms. Unfortunately, the fireballs that come next are a little out of his league, and despite his efforts to dive out of the way, he still gets smacked by one, setting his fur ablaze. With a shriek of pain, he dives overboard into the water to douse himself. But, instead of resurfacing and trying to fight further, Moguma starts swimming downstream, trusting his lung capacity to get him away from these people. He definitely can't take them on as he is now. If he wants that pendant, he'll have to try to hit the boy while he's alone sometime down the line...

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' So the stranger has the unconscious man. Good. Reize got away from the man. Good. Everyone is still alive. Good. The thief got his just desserts. /GOOD/!!! Reize wobbles a bit, growing a bit more exhausted as he looks over the wrecked boat, which is now nearly a raft. He gives a thoughtful smile, then he drops to both knees. "Whew..." Reize lowers his head, "...I just wanted this to be a simple day today, too." There is a tired glance over towards Lynn. However, his exhuberant nature comes back, fondly appreciative of her help. "Ooi, thanks for the help. You were amazing! You helped me not drown.." He looks at her with an embarassed look over his inability to swim. Then, he looks over towards Raine, who is likely annoyed. "You too!" Standing up to his feet, he starts to wobble. "Guh." He manages to catch himself, before he manages to become fully balanced again. "...I don't think we got to introduce ourselves. I'm Reize Seatlan, the leader of the Shard Seekers here." Meanwhile, the occupant who was tossed overboard earlier is starting to awaken in Raine's arms. He looks a bit dizzy, but he extends a hand over towards Raine's cheek, cupping it. "Martha...? Martha.. is that you?" 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Lynn walks off the geyser onto the boat, taking the time to clear the remaining water from her earlier assault off and out of the ship. It was her fault it had gotten wet like this in the first place, might as well fix that. She looks over at Reize when he addresses her, and smiles a calm smile. "Glad I could be of service." She's not going to pick on him for the lack of ability to swim. Not everyone can. Heck, she doesn't so much swim as cheat via hydrokinesis. Her cleaning of the ship done in short order, she begins making the rounds of those aboard. Might as well start with Reize. A small blob of water whirls around him, soothing and mending any cuts, bites, or bruises he may have from the various things he's been hit with today.

:'''[[Raine Arland]] has posed:''' "......." Raine was about to comment on the whole thing, but then his cheek was cupped and he turned to look back at the man he'd assisted. There was a moment of stark silence, and then he grinned. "Why yes dear, it's Martha! Didja remember to eat yer peas today?" He replied in a terrible old lady voice, really hamming it up. "Oh, you know how worried I get when you go and sail those ships without gettin them peas in yer system! You could hurt your back! And then who would pay for our mortgage? /Me/? Nooooonononono!" As he said all of this, he pat the man's cheek in order to get him to return to reality. ...Raine Arland. Man of a thousand faces. ...Or just professional troll. "Hey, yo! You guys good over there?" He called out to the two, standing up and leaving the man likely stupefied. Deeming him as fine, Raine walked over and approached the two, arms crossed. "So...what the hell happened here?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' At least the stranger doesn't seem to rag on him for his inability to swim. That's a good thing! Reize runs his hand over to the back of his head, grinning a little more. While securing the pendant around his neck, Reize offers a glance to see the unconscous man, now waking up, and Raine. As Lynn sends a small blob of water towards him, Reize tenses slightly until the blob whirls around him to give a soothing feeling. It's a cool, refreshing feeling as the wounds, cuts, and bruises that he sustained subsides. He exhales a sigh and he beams happily towards Lynn, "Thanks! ---Err... I don't think I got your name." Meanwhile.. The man murmurs, "But the peas... I never been fond of peas! I've been eating them every day for you, though---..." He comes to reality. He sees Raine. "AHHHH! You're not Martha!" Once the man is dropped... Reize looks over towards Raine, "A thief stole something from me, so I want to chase him." A hand gestures towards Lynn, "She actually came to help me." He beams, "I'm appreciative for the help!" Then, Reize looks over towards the boat as it nears the mini-dock. "Oh good! We're at the proper spot now!" 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Success. "I'm Lynn. It's a pleasure to meet you, Reize." A short moment later, while Reize is speaking with Raine, Lynn curtsies when the mention of her help comes up again. Helping is good. Speaking of helping, while the boat's been purged of excess water, Raine's clothes have not. She sees to that immediately, carefully extracting the water from his clothes and leaving them just like they had been before she'd accidentally splashed him. "Sorry about that..." She has a rather guilty expression on her face as she apologizes to Raine.

:'''[[Raine Arland]] has posed:''' "Oho, a thief eh? Well good on you for getting your no doubt invaluable and totally relevant object of power and mystery back!" Smiling in a teasing manner, he pat Reize's back a bit too strongly. "At least you don't have to chase whoever stole it acrosss three continents and wind up having to save a princess, fight a dragon, liberate a kingdom or two, and then face down the ultimate evil in an alternate dimension!" What. Hearing Lynn address him, presumably, the swordsman turned to look at her. "Hm?" There was a pause at that moment, and then Raine brought a hand up to his chin, grinning like a fool. "....Not bad. Not bad at all, I've gotta say..." What the hell was he talking about now? ...Oh, he was eyeing the girl up and down slowly. From face, down to her feet, and then back up. "...No problem. If you're really that worried about it, how about you and I go out sometime, eh~?" Oh boy. Apparently the whole 'getting drenched in the crossfire of an aquatic tornado' thing was long forgotten.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' A glance is given towards Lynn, "Pleasure to meet you too, Lynn!" The boy gives a bright smile, and then he looks over at the mass of adventurers. The leader of the Shard Seekers emerge from the group, waving their way while lifting up the man and helping him get to the city area proper. "..." The pat on the back has Reize stumbling forward slightly, "whoa!" Though, the fact that the other youth brings up about his pendant being an invaluable and relevant object of power and mystery, "Hrm... so you have an idea about the pendant, then." However, what he mentions about the other path that the pendant search would had taken, Reize does give a thoughtful muse, "...You know, that would be rather fun to see the continents and visiting an 'alternate dimension'... whatever that is." He cannot help, however, but to give a nervous look and a sheepish smile over the interaction of Raine and Lynn. "Eh heh..." He turns his attention over to the city. By the time that the boat arrives back, the group would be greeted with a crowd of people giving cheers and laughter. Many of them had heard the commotion. While the adventurers are there to greet the boy, they see that everything is fine. After all, a commotion in the city is bound to get people's attention. "Whew.. finally back where I can walk on the land." 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Lynn completely misses the fact that Raine is looking her over, largely due to the fact that she's in the middle of making his clothes dry again. The one part of his odd actions that does get through to her, mostly because she'd finished what she was doing at the time, is the inquiry about the two of them going out sometime. It takes a moment for her mind to process it, but once she does, her expression shifts to something more startled. "Eh? Why... why do you ask me such a thing?" Not so much denial or refusal as disbelief. It is kind of out of nowhere. They arrive back easily enough, but that's not where the majority of her attention is at the time...

:'''[[Raine Arland]] has posed:''' "An idea? What idea?" Raine asked Reize cluelessly. "I was just making crap up." He freely admitted without any forethough, smirking and nodding to support his statement. "But if you say it actually is, then alright. I guess I'm clairvoyant on top of being utterly amazing, devilishly handsome, and a paragon of all things manly in this world!" No he wasn't. "You sure about that journey being fun? You might end up on the run from a horde of powerful enemies, aiming to surround you on all sides, where your only salvation winds up being...me." He pressed a hand against his chest to emphasize the apparent greatness he was radiating. There was none. Lynn's disbelieving response got a pause out of Raine for a moment. "Hah?" For a second, it looked like the wind was taken out of his sails. But he recovered quickly enough and his smile returned. "Why not? If a cute girl splashes me with a torrent of crushing water, the only path to take from there is /obviously/ to ask her out!" Really. "It must be...fate." And dramatically, he gestured outward to nothing in particular to follow that claim. Oh look, they were back to land! Raine chuckled and stepped off the boat. "So! What do you say? Are you prepared to have /all/ of your dreams come true?" More like none of them.

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' Another beautiful day in Fluorgis, home away from home. Ivo Galvan, sheathed Hauteclare nonchalantly balanced on his shoulder, is strolling through the Jewel of the Desert's central plaza, gaze blithely roving. In the time that the Fire Crystal has been safely restored, water has circulated easily through the city, its canals and waterways now smattered with many small boats, which he watches pass with pleasure, enjoying the sparkling of the relentless sun upon the water. Even as an adventurer capable of wandering the worlds with the Romancing Saga, it is his nature to savor simple delights such as these. And there have been so few shocking events to interrupt his calm. Ivo always knows how to prevent life from becoming dull, but-- "How long has it been since anything truly new has happened?" he murmurs to himself. Silence, as he gazes contemplatively toward the horizon. "Two-hundred and sixteen days, I suppose." How precise. But it is then that his eyes alight upon a familiar young face, and two others, somewhat less familiar. The dark-haired swordsman grins easily, raising his off-hand in salute as the boat approaches with its drenched occupants aboard. "Hail, chief," he says amiably. "Been a while. You should visit Hawai'i with me sometime. I'm telling you, there's little reason to leave." He pauses, turning his smile to Lynn and Raine in turn. "Except fresh faces, I suppose. Ivo Galvan, Shard Seeker strategist. Charmed, miss," he remarks, glancing with intrigue at Lynn's hair but refraining from staring, and then looking at Raine and-- "I have been gone too long," he mutters. "They've stolen my shtick." But in a moment, he brightens. "Relax, friend," he says to Raine. "Withhold your charms. She's already soaked." Great, there are two of them.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' The cheers of the crowd greet the boy. It is a good feeling. No matter how long that Reize has been away, the people still recognize him as the person who saved Fluorgis. He is recognized as the leader of the Shard Seekers. ... They have called him the Boy with the Long Yellow Scarf. A smile grows. He sort of misses this feeling. However, his thoughts are interrupted as Raine resigns on that he made everything up. "...Ngh.." A sigh exhales, then he shakes his head. He keeps a smile up, nevertheless, "Nevertheless, I am an explorer! I love exploring unknown places!" He places a thumb to his chest. The exchange between Lynn and Raine, however, leaves Reize at an awkward position. He just smiles at the two and nod, making his way towards the land once more. !!!! "Ivo! It has been too long!" He laughs, "It's good to know that you survived the crash as well." He frowns, "...Anna and I were worried that you guys were gone as well.." The youth remembers that day. It was the day that the ship crashed and well... Reize and Annalise went overboard and ended up as castaways. The youth rubs his forehead, recalling the day well. Nevertheless, the boy squints over at Ivo a moment later, "...Were you at Hawai'i the whole time?" The expression becomes dry, then he exhales a sigh, "Ahh well." He offers a smile to the strategist. However, that smile fades as he recalls a few things that has to be talked about. "...Ah, Ivo, we'll have to speak soon on matters." He pauses, "Once you get the chance... that is." The meeting is pretty important, but he is going to let Ivo be Ivo.

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Lynn's initial bewilderment fades into something more deadpan rather quickly. "...really." That was quite possibly the least sensical attempt at hitting on her that she had ever received. And the most sensical, really. The first attempt ever by anyone. Not the most impressive. She gives the newcomer, Ivo, a somewhat confused look at the 'soaked' remark -- hello, water-hair? -- but soon turns her attention and walking toward staying near Reize and away from the weirdos. Not to say she isn't weird herself, just... different kind of weird.

:'''[[Raine Arland]] has posed:''' It was totally stolen. Certain mighty midgets, greedy elves, green haired clones, axe wielding maids, and and girls on fire could all attest to it! "Whoa ho ho!" Raine exclaimed at Ivo's appearance, and then subsequent comment. "....." There was a silence, and then a hand came to his chin as he eyed the girl with the curious head of hair for a second. "...You just might have a point." Whatever that point was, it went left by the wayside. Lynn's unsaid, but certainly felt rejection caused the man to reel back dramatically in faux shock. "Oh no, the the fair maiden rejects my earnest advances. I am crushed. Crushed!" And then he fell to one knee, clutching his heart. "I....I feel faint....my body...all manliness...rapidly...draining...how....?" And then he collapsed, face down. Silence.

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' "It has indeed," Ivo replies to Reize, his grin softening into a warm smile, momentarily ceasing to project an aura of amused indifference, showing his sincerity. "You didn't think I'd perished, did you? Just think of all the women who want to kill me. Even Lady Sea is not mightier than they." Yeah, Raiya could probably beat up the ocean if she wanted to. "And I'll have you know there were urgent matters in Hawai'i that required my full attention." PREVIOUSLY "Ivo, did you bring the suntan lotion? I can't reach my back..." NOW "Urgent indeed," he repeats, straight-faced. Who knows who he's persuading, but Raine accepts his earlier reasoning, and seems to be on his wavelength. Ivo grins again and opens his mouth to continue, but is immediately struck by a Limit Break's worth of melodrama, and waits patiently until Raine has finished collapsing and the scene is finished. He waits, still poker-faced, for several moments more, before-- "Heavens above, man, pull yourself together!" Suddenly evincing tremendous concern, Ivo kneels next to Raine. "He needs a mojo infusion immediately!" he announces sharply, before taking a deep breath. "I have no chance. I'll have to lend him some of my own power. Heal!" And he outstretches his hands and concentrates. "Heal! Heal! Heal!" Ivo's palms-out, furrowed-brow, intensed-eyed pose is quite expressive, but nothing seems to be happening. "Heal! Heal!" Is he LARPing? How meta.

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Violet had slipped away from Headquarters in order to do a little bit of shopping. Which translates into buying all sorts of pastries and sweets. Yay pastries! A small hand covers her mouth as she giggles to herself, pale blonde ponytail gently swaying side to side with her steps as she enters the square proper. What meets her there isn't just the usual hustle and bustle, but a few familiar faces. Fellow guildmates. Violet blinks her bright eyes with some mild surprise as her steps slow her approach.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize is just a bystander, truth be told. He is watching the exchange between Ivo and Raine regarding Lynn. And of course, Lynn makes it known that she is not too interested in Raine... and Ivo. The boy cannot help but rub the back of his head with a sheepish smile. "Ahh, as my friend introduced himself, he is our strategist." He then looks over towards Ivo with a smile. "He's very reliable when it counts." He smiles at Lynn, "Please don't be be too off-put by him." And of course, Reize looks over at Raine's exaggerated response to the rejection. A large sweatbead appears over his head as his antenna hair flops to the left and then to the right. "Him, I don't know..." After a moment, Reize introduces Lynn towards Ivo, "Ivo, this is Lynn.. She helped me get the pendant back. A thief stole the pendant and I had to get it back." He grimaces, "...Hopefully, he won't be trying again." After all, what are the chances of the guy trying again? Nevertheless, Reize lgances over towards the arrival of Violet, who is approaching their way. "Oooi, Violet!" The boy waves a hand her way, grinning widely. He glances back at Ivo's antics. That sweatbead returns. "Ahhh..." He asides to Lynn, "As I said, you'll get used to him." 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Raine's melodramatic collapse is almost enough to make Lynn worried she did something horribly wrong. Almost. As in 'would have thought so and tried to heal him if Ivo had not intervened'. Thanks, Ivo. Her attention is mercifully diverted when Reize points out (for a certain value of pointing) the arrival of someone new. Judging by Reize's reaction, this Violet person will be nice to be around, so she joins in on waving to her. She's inclined to trust him at this point, and it's preferable to trusting... well, the two weirdos. She mimicks the sweatbead, easy as that is to do. "I... sure hope so..."

:'''[[Raine Arland]] has posed:''' "........." No response. Was he even breathing? Was the rejection such a massive blow to his considerable male ego that it completely shut him down and rendered years progress useless? His childhood? Gone. His school life? Gone. Memories of his family? Gone. The comfort that he was once the greatest entity to ever exist in a single frame of time for as long as he did? Apparentl-- No wait. Raine's hand twitched. And then it clenched, grasping the sand and earth intensely. Turning his head slightly aside, an eye opened and there was a fire absolutely, positively burning in it. Then, with a huff of exertion, he rose up, with all the manly, obnoxious fervor he could muster. "I can feel it! I'm alive! I can breath! I CAN FIGHT!" Shouting his assertion to the deep blue sky, Raine unleashed all of his masculinity in that single moment, arms spread out and hands clenched so tightly that blood might run from them at any given moment. ...Is this is what they call 'the awakening of the phoenix?' No. More like the revival of dorkness. And then as quickly and loudly as it happened, the swordsman had suddenly snapped back into a sober state of mind, grinning and offering Ivo a hand. "Right, where was I before that horrible near death experience? Right. The name's Raine. Raine Arland. Mysterious man of mystery. Man of a thousand faces. Lord of all things great. And Badass extraordinaire." "How you doing?" Hades just called. He wants his shtick back.

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' Crossing his arms, nodding slowly, standing off to the distance now, Ivo smiles knowingly, approvingly, at Raine's spectacular revival. "As anticipated... more or less." How? "Nice to meet you, Lynn," he then says, tone once again resembling that of a rational person. "Thanks for helping out our fearless leader in his time of need. Reize loses his pendant almost as often as he loses his balance and plunges into a heaving, luscious b--" Out of the corner of his eye, he espies Princess Violet's approach. "--asket of fruits. He does love his fruits. Hail, Violet." Smiling easily, he raises his hand in greeting. The princess has always been a bit distant to him, but it's not as though Ivo has the right to blame anyone for emotional distance, and he deserves it anyway. It's tough to get a rise out of her sometimes -- likely half the reason he's abruptly stopped messing around -- but the companionship she offers Reize is what matters most to him. "We should indeed talk," he says, turning back to Reize and looking down at the boy wonder. "I've picked up a few rumors on my travels that might be worth chasing down. We've got to go where the wind carries us after all, yes?" Pause. "Since that's how sails work." At Raine's proffered hand, Ivo stops to grin back and grant a hearty shake to his kindred spirit. "An honor, Lord Arland. Ivo Galvan, humbly at your service. From one look at you, I had no doubt your manly spirit would swiftly reawaken. I would not dare to plumb the depths of your many mysteries, but if my curiosity might be sated in just one respect--" He thoughtfully cups his chin. "Where are your other nine-hundred ninety-nine faces?"

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Having been spotted by Reize, Violet instinctively smiles and reaches up to wave back at him, before quietly approaching the gathered group. "Hi Reize. You look as popular as usual." she giggles softly, smiling to Lynn as the girl waves. "Greetings everyone." the pale-headed girl murmurs softly, a shy quietness to her that doesn't delude the honest and warm smile she offers. And that smile falters as Ivo quickly shifts topics. About fruit. Violet blinks her bright blue eyes innocently as she glances from him to Reize, a tiny bit of confused. "Um... I hope I'm not interrupting anything." she says with a soft voice, with the off chance that she had been rude and not known.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Ahh.." Reize offers a smile towards Raine. It is a smile that is filled with uncertainty. "Ahhahaha..ahh..." He brings his hand over to the back of his head, rubbing it with a sheepish smile. So, instead, Reize looks over towards Lynn, "Ah, that reminds me. It looks like you were traveling around, right?" He considers, "...Were you looking for an inn, earli---..." Ivo's description of Reize's penchant of plunging into 'fruits' has the boy creening his head at Ivo with a glare. His antenna hair points at Ivo, almost like a dagger. The young boy looks over towards the strategist, "...There has been rumors alright. ...Some that pertains to Fluorgis as well." He rubs the back of his head. However, Reize smiles a little more,"But, that is something we can discuss later." Reize looks over towards both Raine and Ivo's interactions. Well, at least the two are getting along. That is something good, right? The boy shakes his head, "Not at all! We ended up getting my pendant back from a thief that ended up robbing me earlier." "Violet, this is Lynn, the person who helped me. Lynn, this is Violet, also part of the Shard Seekers." He beams happily.

:'''[[Raine Arland]] has posed:''' At Ivo's question, a good one at that, Raine just half covered his face with a hand. "That, my friend, ....Is one of the seven great mysteries of the world." What he actually meant was that he had NO idea what the hell we was talking about. That said, the young man glanced at Reize and Violet, smiling a but less like an idiot and more good naturedly. "Reize, Lynn, and Violet, a pleasure to make your acquaintances as well. Especially the ladies~" There was an eyebrow wiggle to accompany that greeting, and then he turned away abruptly. "Ergh...!" Dramatically, he clutched his face, as if fighting desperately to keep something from happening. "Must...not...give in...!" Glancing back at those present, he shook his head frantically. "My nine hundred and ninety nine other faces growing impatient! I must go and quell their anger before it spirals out of control and causes another worldwide incident...!" AKA 'I need an escape, but just walking off would be boring.' Typical moron. "Time is of the essence! Away!" And with that, the fool broke out into a run, dashing off around the corner of a building and away. A loud crash of clay pottery breaking and a few feline screeches soon followed, along with a muffled 'God damn it!' Raine Arland. Mysterious man of mystery.

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Lynn turns to pay attention to Ivo's (now more sane) words, the sudden last-second word swap provoking a raised eyebrow in confusion, though Reize's reaction clarifies things somewhat. Before she can really respond, though, another newcomer -- Violet, evidently -- approaches. Violet's smile is met with one right back from Lynn, and she nods and curtsies when introductions and explanations are made as to who's who and what they do. "A pleasure to meet you, Violet." Her attention is once again momentarily diverted with more of Raine's antics. It's really hard to ignore that guy, loony though he may be.

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' Once again, Ivo waits patiently until the last sounds of Raine's ultra-mysterious and thrilling departure fade. "Well, he seemed nice." Smiling blithely again, the Shard Seeker swordsman turns back to old friends and new acquaintance. "In that case, if you excuse me, I may withdraw to headquarters. I have not returned in some time, and I should ensure all is in order before we discuss our path going forward. Reize, Violet, I'll await you there whenever you're ready." It couldn't have gotten /too/ disorganized in his absence, could it? "No rush." And waving easily over his shoulder with the back of his hand, Ivo saunters out of view. Into an alley. *crash* *crash* *crash* *feline yowl* "God damn it!" Wh... why?

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Violet smiles again as she's introduced to Lynn, a small giggle escaping. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well." the young woman dips her chin with a small bow. She /would/ have said this to Raine as well, though is caught by surprised as he wiggles his eyebrows at the girls, before turning away and dashing off. She blinks a second time. "That was..." What was that exactly? Probably better not to ask questions. Her pale head glances at Ivo as he too turns away to try and disappear as if he's Mr. Cool. Violet merely exhales a small breath to herself. "Boys..."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' It is time that Raine makes his exit, the boy merely extends a hand to wave at the departing traveler. "Errr... take care!" The young boy brings his hand to the back of his head, just rubbing it nervously. And the sound of a clay pottery breaking and a feline screeching has the boy wincing. "Uhh.." As Ivo is about to depart, Reize nods his head slowly, "Alright. I will meet up with you later. I'll have to bring you up to speed over the events that I've been informed of." And then.... Crashing and the sound of the feline comes from Ivo. "...They are similar in some ways." He considers back to the question he asked earlier, "You were traveling around, right? I don't think I've seen you here before." He places a hand to his chin, "Though, to be fair, Violet and I have been gone for a while since our last adventure.." Went overboard, casted away. Well, at least it all worked out. 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Two sequences of cats and pottery in a row. Not the best luck on the part of the two weirdos. Lynn can't help but sympathize with Violet's sentiment. "I know, right?" There's a slight delay before she answers the question posed to her, though. "Y-Yeah... I'm a traveler. Haven't been here before... or much of anywhere besides home until recently, really. Probably would still be there if not for... reasons." The drop-off on 'reasons' probably being a last-second word swap, kind of like those lovely baskets of fruit that Reize keeps falling face-first into.

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Violet just gives Lynn a small smile. Sharing with the other girl perhaps at the silliness of boys. There's an exchange, a question poised, and she watches Lynn as she listens. It isn't difficult to sympathize. She was like that too, still is really. "That tends to happen, doesn't it?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Lynn opens up a bit about her reasons for being a traveler. However, Reize can definitely hear the change of the wording. There is a frown in understanding. "...Oh. I see..." A sad smile crosses his features, "Well, many of us have been displaced from our homeworld as well." The boy considers, "... Some not realizing that our homeworld was swallowed up when it happened." A smile grows, "I am sure that you'll find a temporary home." He considers, "...The Shard Seeker's goal is to find all of the shards of the fallen worlds and get them restored." Reize lifts his eyes up to the sky. "...It's comprised of people that lost their homes, bound together with that goal." He brightens. "One day, we'll get all of the worlds restored." He grins, "It'll be more for me to explore." 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' Reize's sad smile is echoed with one of Lynn's own, and she nods to Violet, confirming that yes, it happens quite often. The explanation of what the Shard Seekers are and what they do does catch her interest and her attention, though... knowing what happened to home and whether she can return (and making that whether a yes, she can) would be great. "I..." She hesitates, then decides to go through with it. "...I don't suppose there's any way I could help with that, is there...?"

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Violet turns her head, gently, to look to Reize as he speaks. Just as him, sadness touches her gentle expression, for a moment before the shards are mentioned. Her features warms, and she steps closer, the back of her hand faintly brushing against his. "That we will. Every world, so many people to meet and places explore. And most importantly, families reunited." Looking back to Lynn, she smiles brighter. "Of course you can. More than welcome even."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' If there is anything that Reize can do for people, it is inspire hope in them. After all, people need to believe in something. Whether it is a religion, themselves, or someone else. Reize can inspire people to try to make a difference. Everyone has their place. In the brief moment, Reize's hand gently brushes against Violet's hand. Just as brief as they touch, his glance drifts to the blond with a smile. After a moment, he turns to face Lynn with a smile. Reize extends a hand her way, "Yeah, you can help. We all will make a difference." A smile grows. "...We would welcome you with opened arms." He has a brightened smile. "Welcome to Fluorgis, our second home." 

:'''[[Lynn Cascadia]] has posed:''' It's been a long time since she's had a place this inviting to call home. With both Reize and Violet welcoming her with open arms, she smiles as well. "...thank you. It's... good to be here, today, with both of you..." She glances aside, feeling a little awkward, not entirely sure what she's trying to say. Or maybe she does know and is bad at putting it into words. Either way, it's a little embarrassing...

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' It has been a long while since the leader of the Shard Seekers had stepped foot at the halls of familiarity. This is the once abandoned workshop transformed into a cleaned and sturdy facility for the clan. The Shard Seekers, residents of the town, have gathered in the place for a home. Reize had long left that second home in favor of an adventure that left him stranded from everyone. Now? After a long absence and his time at the Imperial Chinese world, Reize makes his way back to his second home. The adventuring youth has a large backpack on him. He stands before the halls, offering a faint smile. "So... I am back, everyone." Of course, most of the Shard Seekers had likely went off to do their own thing. However, with the threat of Maleficent, Reize knows that he'll be living back in this desert world. ...Confined once more. Ah well. Duty comes over his wonderlust. 

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira has come seeking Reize! It's been a while since she was last in Fluorgis. Walking through these streets brings up a lot of memories, pleasant and not pleasant--but mostly bittersweet. She passes the tower where she spent a bunch of time while the Dark Knight was hunting her, spending a few moments looking up and remembering. If Perci is really gone...she hopes he's happy in the afterlife. Maybe he was reunited with his lost love. Sighing heavily, Maira continues on, moving to the Shard Seeker's HQ and entering not long after Reize. "Hellooo?" she calls, then spots Reize. "Ah! Reize! You're back home huh? I'm glad, I was hoping to find you here!" she says, smiling brightly.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Hrm? Reize turns his head to face the direction of the entrance. That is when he starts to notice that he has a visitor. "Maira?" The boy offers a smile towards her and he extends a hand in a wave her way. He turns to face her completely before he nods, "I just arrived back after a while. It looks like the others have left." He laughs, lifting his shoulders with a shrug. "Oh well, I'm sure everyone will return soon." Resting a hand to the back of his head, the boy asks, "What can I do for you?" 

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira laughs a little. "Yeah, it seems like everyone has kinda dispersed. I bet if you call them and say you are back they'll come though!" she replies, moving inside more, looking around a bit. She hadn't been here in a while, nothing really had changed except for how empty it seems. "Well, you have something (at least I hope you do) that I kind of need," she begins, taking a seat. "Do you remember a while back, when Ivo had the shard seeking device? And he found that fossil thing? Then we were on that airship powered by the fire crystal?" Maira can't actually remember if he was there or not! "The fossil turned out to be a world shard, and I thiiiiink I know which world it is for."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' The boy notes over the emptiness of the hall. Part of him wishes that he would still be away from the place. It's not to say that he dislikes Fluorgis. Though, the constant desert life is much to be desired. However, that freedom he had. Those thoughts fade upon Maira's recommendation, "Sure! I'll have to put a notice to the Shard Seekers that I'm back." He muses, then he looks over the woman. "..Fossil..?" The boy is slowly recollecting his thoughts. There was a lot that had happened during that airship take-over. They were fighting so hard to keep the fiends from getting the Crystal. Reize closes his eyes. "Oh!" The boy brightens a bit, then he nods, "Sure! Let me see where we keep it." He considers, "We have a small case somewhere that we keep the artifacts that we find." The boy is making his way deeper into the facility, then he glances along the ground. He knocks a couple of times. "Nope." He knocks once. "..Not quite." The last knock makes a peculiar sound. "Oh! THis is it!" The boy starts to pull against the flooring. He starts to uncover a secret hole. "...One of our hidden spots to keep thieves from stealing them before we find out what the relics do." 

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' "Yeah, it was all very chaotic...we did it though, we won!" she says, remembering. Victory is always something to rejoice in, especially when the odds never really seem to be in their favor. Maira moves over beside him on the floor, watching as he uncovers the secret hole. "The Shadow Lords and whatever else wants to put the worlds in darkness...they've been really active lately. The World of Ruin is....its bad. A lot of people are actually fleeing, so be careful here. I know you guys can handle it," she cautions while he gets the relics out, trying to be patient but obviously a bit antsy and excited. "If I'm right though...this could help. I'm so tired of just being on the defensive. I hope to bring someplace /back/," she explains.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Yeah, we did!" Reize turns to face Maira with a grin. "We managed to drive away the fiends and keep the Fire Crystal safe!" He looks thoughtful, "...However, it looks like we'll have to defend the crystals again, won't we?" He looks down at the compartment. He furrows his eyebrows as he looks more focused. Reaching inside, he procures a couple of boxes. The movements are deliberate and careful. With each opened box not being the promised item, he closes and places back inside carefully. "We've collected a few relics on our journey. I've been letting some of the researchers try to uncover what they do, but we try to keep them hidden here." The story of the Shadow Lords has the boy frowning once again, "... I see." He turns to face Maira with a smile, "We should be good! We've gotten more experienced since our last situation!" However, he looks back into the compartment. He opens a box... which reveals the fossil. "Oh!" He holds it up, extending it over towards her. "So, this is the fossil that you are talking about, right? I vaguely recall that this was it." 

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira smiles, nodding to Reize. He's got plenty of optimism! That's great. It is difficult not to be discouraged sometimes, but hope is what they all need! She knows she can count on Reize to rally any others. "Heh...yes, we have. And we have two new keyblade wielders on our side. Still, they have gotten more experienced too. We'll have to really fight hard. I've been training, and fighting a lot. Never really a dull moment," she says with a small laugh. When he pulls out the box with the fossil, Maira knows its the right item immediately. Firstly, she remembers it... but secondly, she just /feels/ it. Something inside her calls to it, and as she reaches out toward it, the fossile begins to /glow/. She takes it into her hand and examines it closely as it glows in her hand, a dreamy smile on her face. "It feels so warm...I knew it..."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Two keybladers?" The boy blinks a couple of times, but then he smiles, "That's great! Though, we can't always rely on keybladers." The young man gives a thoughtful look, "After all, we all have our part in the fight." He presents the box to the older woman, letting her examine it closely. Once Maira shows satisfactory, the boy turns back to the compartment and he closes it up. After sealing it, he places a rug underneath part of it to keep it inconspicious from the rest of the flooring. He stands up to his feet, looking back at Maira, "Well, it's all yours, then! You may be able to make better use of it than we can, it seems." He then takes something into consideration, "You said that it is a world shard." He is now curious, "What world shard is it?" 

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira nods. "Yep! Heh, of course we do! We all do. We need all the help we can get...but with a keyblade, we can restore worlds. The world shards we find have to be...unlocked...with a keyblade," she explains quietly. Holding the shard reverently in her hand, she smile down at it. "My world...heh. Palamecia, Fynn...they are the only places left, but this might just be the beginning of bringing back another part of that world. I think we'll have to find more shards, if I remember right...I've only seen it done once, with Manhattan," she comments, tucking the shard back into the box carefully. Shaped like a phoenix feather...she knew that had to mean something!

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Oh! That is true!" Reize places a hand over towards his chin. He taps his forehead a couple of times, "I did not think about that! That is why we haven't been able to make use of the world shard that we found!" He exhales a sigh, "...We didn't have a keyblader." He rubs his forehead, then he offers a faint smile. "So... it looks like we'll have to rely on them for that." It's a little disheartening, but at the same time, everyone has a place. "Your world...?" And then... Reize's eyes widen as Maira mentions the one world that Reize hopes to not find himself back in. Palamecia. His mind mentally reflects back at the time that he was trapped in a place full of monsters. And even worse, he ran into THAT GUY! ...Mind, he was in disguise as a waiter. But still! Reize shakes his head after the recollection. Reize smiles a little more. "Well, if you need help finding the other shards, we can assist!" 

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira smiles in understanding. "Heh...you never know Reize. Maybe you'll end up with one yourself," she says, smile widening. "You seem like you have a pure heart," she adds. Well except all that harem business maybe!! But who is she to judge if he wants more than one girlfriend, she guesses... This is basically all Alma's fault. Maira tilts her head in question then, seeing Reize's eyes widen. "You've been there?" she asks. "Oh! That would be great! Shard Seekers and VALKYRI can work together again!" she says, leaping over to give him a grateful hug.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Hahaha, it would feel odd. I've been using these boomerangs for so long." He gives a thoughtful look, but then he offers a shrug. Still, the grin is there in spite of the keyblade wielder talk. "...Yeah, I've been to Palamecia. Last time I was there, I ended up in the middle of a party with all of the monsters." He pauses, "...I somehow managed to disguise myself and escaped." A hand rests to his forehead, recalling the whole mess. He mentally wince. Then, he looks at Maira, "I also managed to arrive at Fynn one day, where I ran into a couple of new adventurers, Alexis and Sygg." He thinks to himself, "--besides that, my time at Palamecia..." He looks apprehensive now, "...was not the best." A grins, extending his arms out to give Maira a hug, "Yeah, we can definitely have our clans work together again. It would be great to see how Avira has been doing as well!" 

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' "Heh, well no matter what, we've all got to do our best!" she replies. So much cheerfulness, the room may burst! Maira sobers as he tells about his experience in Palamecia, wincing slightly. "Yeah...it is run by a Shadow Lord...though he's...different, in some ways," Mateus was complicated...or he had her fooled that he was. "I'm glad you escaped. I hope...well, I've got a lot of work to do I guess. I've only been a few times, though I'd like to go more. Angan is too worried about Mateus though. See, I grew up elsewhere, but my dad was a soldier for Mateus' father when he first started dabbling in the darkness..crossed worlds and met my mother. So, its the world I was born in, but not where I grew up. Weird, huh?" Maira smoothes her dress then clutches the box with the shard, smiling. "Avira is doing great! We've been fighting hard."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "... Different is one way to go about it, yeah!" He winces, "...I think I managed to fool him with my disguise before I made a break for it." He runs a hand over towards the back of his head, then he listens well to her. Worried about Mateus? There is likely good reason for that! Reize recalls his encounter well. It was a life-or-death situation for him to were deception was his best friend. "Hrm... That is interesting." Reize thinks over to Maira's explanation of her tale. The explanation about Avira has a smile grow on the boy, "Good to hear. I suppose it's about time that I get back to the fight as well." He looks back at the hall, "I'll see about getting the other Shard Seekers together." He turns to face her with a smile, "Once you get your world open, I want to be able to explore it!" 

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira grins, nodding. She probably had a very different experience with Mateus than he did. By the Light, she's actually thinking of asking him for help with something! But she has a bargaining chip. "I hope you do get to come explore! I'm looking forward to it too...on a more, well, dire note though Reize...I don't know if you've heard, but a being of great darkness is moving, a gigantic dragon called Shinryu. Something is happening to the World of Ruin, we think, and its not good...so gather everybody up and get them ready, okay?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Good!" Reize beams at Maira. However, that is short lived when she brings up another bit of bad news. "...Eh?" The comment of a great darkness brewing. The boy squints for a few moments, "Shinryu? What is that? Where is this dragon from?" He looks curious and now more contemplative. It looks like some investigation will have to be done. As the World of Ruin is in danger, Reize considers the situation carefuly. He starts to move towards the hall, looking over the table before facing Maira once more. "Alright, I'll get them all ready. You stay safe when you do bring your world back!" 

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira chews her lip. "We found it in Zanarkand. We fought him...Garland fought against him as well, which was...interesting. Anyway, he's very powerful--terrifyingly so. Just..be wary," she says. She brightens again, heading for the door. "Thanks Reize! I'll see you soon!"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Hrm.." So they ran into it and fought it. However, then she mentions about Garland fighting it. Reize's eyes shut and he thinks it over. "..." "..." "Wait, what?" The boy looks at Maira, then he grimaces at thought. "Understood. We'll try to be careful." Pause, "Can't promise anything! I may have to take some chances!" As she departs, Reize waves at her direction. He turns around to look at the facility. "... A second home to go back to."

}}
:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' It's Winter Wonderland at the Imperial City, it has been weeks since the dark cloud from the Horned King making his undead army known. The poisonous plague threatened to succumb its victims had been driven back. Weeks have passed and many adventures were had. In particular, Reize had been able to rest easier after obtaining a rare herb that is used to treat a certain sick person. Exploring the village streets lit by electric has been fascinating. However, one cannot help but wonder where the electricity comes from. Nevertheless, Reize continues to explore with awe in his eyes. His attire is similar to his normal form, but there is a more wintry look with the fur coat along his outfit. Even more so, there are Chinese aesthetics to it with its harsh enduring cloth that most soldiers would wear. Even his boots are hardened like an Imperial soldier would normally wear. 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' Singing in a Winter WOnderland~ Emi has actually missed the entire undead invasion. It's not as if it's a case that the Dennous would not take though, really, an undead army invading a city isn't really /detective/ work persay, but she was--apparently--engaged in other work at the time or...just never heard about it. The universe is biiiig, maaaan. But she has come to the Imperial city this time. She and Umi are wearing cheongasm's today. She taps her cheek lightly as she examines the electrical poles. She doesn't recall them being here last time she visited. Nevertheless, tracing electrical lines is child's play for Dennous--but unfortunately, Reizeterruptions. By which we mean Emi spots REize and totally forgets her own curiousity. "Ah. It is the Adventurer." She turns to approach him, her neutral expression as present as it was the last time Reize met her.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' It has been a long time since Reize had been able to enjoy a relaxing trip around a city or town without worries. Being stranded at sea for the past few months and then trying to find an herb for someone important has been taxing. However, with the medicine found, it is much easier to enjoy the sights. ! ---Suddenly, a familiar voice calls for him. Turning his head to the direction of the source. It is Emi that's arriving, but Umi is nearby as well. The boy brightens considerably and he waves to the two, "Oooi! Emi! Umi!" He grins widely, "It's good to see you both!" He asks, "Still doing detective work?" 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' It is a common trouble for JRPG protaganists to, upon seeing a lady for the first time or after a long period of time, that something hilariously terrible happens to them. Perhaps a pan falls on their head and gives them a concussion. Perhaps the lady in question beats them up mercilessly for no reason. Perhaps a chocobo starts chewing on their hair. In this case, it seems that Umi has started juggling pistols in the background as Emi steps forward, but other than that it seems to be troublesome about them. Just yet. "The Network is still doing detective work. Thank you for asking. We were traveling in search of mystery which The Network considers may not be especially all that different from your occupation." Something seems to dawn on Emi. "--Ah, yes, you are what they call.. a trouble magnet..." She nods thoughtfully. "......May we join you for a while?" ...Maybe business is slow.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize actually tenses. Why? There is something pretty disturbing about watching Umi juggling pistols out of nowhere. Reize lifts a finger, partially wanting to ask why she is juggling the dangerous firearms, but he decides against it in favor of chatting with an old friend. Blink. "Oh!" Reize looks very thoughtful before a grin follows suit, "Well, I have recently rejoined with the Shard Seekers. I've been missing for a while thanks to.." A frown grows, "Being shipped-wrecked." A sigh stirs from the boy, and then he slowly shakes his head. "I've recovered enough to start adventuring again." A grin brightens at the request. "Sure! It would be good to have you with us once more." He considers, "...I am not sure what the other Shard Seekers have been up to, but, it'll be time for us to find some more world shards!" Pause. "... However, it seem that may have to wait, since Fluorgis is top priority. ...I've heard that the Shadow Lords are on the move again and are aiming for the crystals." 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' Umi continues to juggle dangerous firearms. Emi doesn't make any comment either though there is a shift in gaze that indicates that she noticed, of course, that Reize didn't mention the juggling firearms. "Thank you." Emi says after a moment's thought. "Though we meant with you, personally, rather than strictly with the Shard Seekers but that being said, we do not mind working with them again. They are very interesting. Perhaps a bit unusual." "Yeah," Umi says. "This one thinks the Shard Seekers are pretty strange sometimes!" A pistol flies over her head as she continues to juggle. "I did not hear this about the Shadow Lords, however. They are after the crystals again?" She pauses for a moment. "Any idea why?" She sighs. "...Or is this a why not, The Network admits this is a possibility too."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Unable to help but to remain uneasy, Reize is edging away from Umi, hoping that he doesn't end up the wrong part of the receiving in of what looks to be a very dangerous activity that Umi is doing. Blink. "Oh!" Reize smile brightens, "Oh, I'd be glad to have you all along." A hand gestures out towards the city, revealing the people walking along and the soldiers chatting amongst themselves, an eye carefully considering the strangers. However, despite of the gaze, there is a look of respect towards Reize in particular. After all, the boy was one of the folks who came to their aid in the fight against the darkness. "...I like it here for a bit." He considers, "I am afraid that I haven't seen many of them. I just hope that they haven't gotten into too much trouble as of late." He frowns at Emi, "I honestly do not know. I was given an update by Maira and Avira." He moves closer, looking around. Then he leans over to whisper to the group, "They said that a powerful sorceress, Maleficent, is searching for the crystals. ...Even moreso that she may be the leader of the Shadow Lords." 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' "This one's experiences with the Shard Seekers indicate that perhaps to say that they get in trouble would be a bit inaccurate and that instead it may be better to say that trouble gets them." Emi says wryly. She gives Umi a brief, sharp look--and she catches the pistols she's throwing, ceasing her juggling for the moment to awkwardly pocket her pistols again. "Maleficient. She was behind the Fall of Manhattan." Emi explains. "She is the leader of the Shadowlords, insofar as the Shadowlords have leaders. The Network can confirm that she is a figure of high power and authority. This one heard rumors she can put entire kingdoms to sleep." Maira and Avira. It's been some time since Emi personally visited them. "Did something happen here?" Emi asks, eyes following Reize's ahoge.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Lowering his head with a shade of darkness on his face, Reize admits, "...Yeah, trouble does seem to find us at the worst time." A sweatdrop forms a moment later. However, Reize lifts his head up and he witnesses Umi drawing away her pistols. Needless to say, Reize is pretty relieved at the efforts to contain Umi. He looks over his shoulder to see that some of the people and the soldiers were looking very nervous. By very nervous, many of the soldiers had their arms ready. And explanation comes, "...Hrm." Reize looks thoughtful as the explanation of Maleficent comes, "...She has?" He furrows his eyebrows, then he thinks over. His antenna hair moves to the side, then back as Reize lifts a finger up. "Yeah, the undead was attacking the Great Wall. Many of the dead managed to get past the wall thanks to a dark cloud. Soldiers who fell became one with the undead. ...We managed to drive it away, but even then, I don't know how long." He frowns at Emi, "...I don't even know the whole story as to what happened here. I actually arrived at the course of the commotion." 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' "Was it a biological attack or a magical one?" Emi says. It sounds like magical but she isn't sure. Umi has gotten to the point where she's punching into the air to try and contain her hyperactive energy. She bounces around on her feet, weaving to and fro even as she follows Reize and Emi. "That's alright. If it's over, I can no doubt ask plenty of people as to what happened later." She adds. "How did you end up ship-wrecked? Was it natural or were you ambushed by Bombs." Yes, ambushed by Bombs. She's aware that's a thing. What could the Shadow Lords use with the Crystals? General havoc, if nothing else, but they'd have to be hard to obtain. So it must be more than that.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "It was a magical source," reports Reize, who lifts a hand slightly, "The origins outside of the fact that it is magical in nature, I don't know." He furrows his eyebrows, "It grew thicker as more of the undead came about and their leader of the undead was growing stronger. He was a formiable polearm fighter!" Reize grimaces, recalling how the fighter knocked away his spell like it was nothing. He cannot help but look over at Umi as she tries to keep herself entertained. His ahoge waggles a bit, then he sweatdrops with a sheepish look. However, the explanation of the shipwreck. Reize lifts his head wistfully. "We were sailing on the Romancing Saga III, a sailing ship that Ivo acquired from someone. We were at sea, ready to explore the various parts of the sea!" Then he looks ahead, as if mimicing his exploration. "BAM!" Reize smacks his hands together as his right hand strikes the left from the sidelines. "A massive whale-like monster smashed into us! Not quite a bomb, but a larger creature instead!" He frowns, "I think it was a Heartless. It was hard to tell!" A frown grows, "Violet, another Shard Seeker, and I were separated from everyone else..." He runs a hand underneath his chin, "I don't know where that whale is at, but..." 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' "Was the whale Monstro?" Emi asks. "You have to watch out for Monstro. He eats ships. The Romancing Saga III is probably still in his stomach. He does have a tendency to eat up enough Heartless that he goes a little nutty too, if this one is remembering correctly anyway." Not that The Network really forgets things, but sometimes information isn't really stored at the forefront of memory but rather in some deep storage--usually if Emi has deemed it not likely to be especially relevant for a while. Umi's eyes focus on the ahoge now, because Emi has dicated her to be the one to follow the ahoge. Her eyes flit from side to side. O.O .OO O.O OO.. "If your friends were eaten," Emi adds. "They're probably fine. I would not say the same for the ship, of course."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "I don't know, actually." Reize actually looks uncertain, "I don't think I ever ran into this Monstro." Emi's warning serves to get the boy's attention. The thought of their only mode of sea transportation being forever locked in a monster's stomach makes the inner adventurer's heart sink. Ugh, so much for exploring the sea. "..Hrghk." Cannot be helped. Emi does manage to reassure him about his friends, "Yeah, I definitely know that Ivo is crafty enough to get out of a jam! So, he should be fine!" The ahoge moves around, similar to a snake. And then, it snaps out towards Umi with a hiss. "But," Reize places a hand to his chin, "We'll worry about that later! It'll be time to return to Fluorgis, soon." 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' "Well," Emi says. "You'd know it's Monstro by the size...if you got a good look at it, anyway. Well, if you knew of MONSTRO as well." She wrinkles her nose. "But basically Monstro is very distinctive in that he's very, very... very large." Is that enough verys? ... ehhh .... sure. Why not! Umi bites down on the ahoge. "That's nice to hear." She says. "I imagine they missed you. This one has been out of the loop as well, that is to say the Network itself has perhaps not been doing much networking as of late."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Thoughtfully, Reize relents, "I'll have to take your word for it." He looks uncertain, yet he manages to maintain a smile, "Truthfully, I've vaguely heard of Monstro, but I never seen it with my own eyes." A smile grows, "It would be quite an experience to meet him!" And then, he quirks an eyebrow at Emi, "I'll be sure to get back to you if I run into it and live to----" *CHOMP* And there is Umi, chomping down on Reize's ahoge. There is a pause. Reize's eyes go goggly as he flails his arms around, "GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Comical river of tears stream along his eyes as he flails about with Umi clamped down on the ahoge with her teeth, "Get her off, get her off!" Reize flails about and he lowers his head, comical tears flowing. 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' "It taunted her," Emi says. "This one will not tell her to get off. It would be a disruption of her autonomy." As is typical, Emi's voice barely shifts from monotonal, but there is a faint wryness to her tone indicating that she may be enjoying the comical nature of this situation even if she's keeping a straight face. Umi comically waves up and down in the air as Reize flails about. "It swallowed me once too. It does that." Emi adds. "Imagine your ahoge is a boat, and Monstro is Umi, The Network provides an example comparision for instructional purposes."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' First, the chocobos; now, Umi! The boy cannot help but mentally cry out in anguish over his ahoge being the one thing attacked more than anything! Lord help anyone that actually cuts it off! That would prove to be sad times! Watching the antics, the Chinese citizen bear a mixture of expression; one set is filled with awkwardness while the other half are roaring in laughter over the young adventurer's plight. Reize is flailing at the same time as Umi comically waving her arms up and down. "I get it! I get it! Being eaten by Monstro is not good! You can let go Umi!!!" After a couple of moments from the pressure on his ahoge... Reize keels over on his face. x_X

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' Umi goes flying as Reize falls over. She spins through the air a few times before vanishing offscreen. "The Network apologizes for the instructional inconvenience." Emi adds.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Ohgodwhy. Reize's eyes are swirling around, leaving his ahoge to look all beaten up before it flops over 'dead'. As Umi goes flying, Reize slowly lifts a hand up to the air before he gives off a pained, long suffering tone, "I'm---I'm alright!" After a moment passes, Reize slowly gets back up to his feet. "Anyway, Emi, let's head to the countryside! There's a small village that I am staying at. Going to check up on Violet to see if she is ready before we go on an adventure!" He beams. "...It's actually nice to be back in an adventure that doesn't involve the sea." Reize shudders. Water. 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' "Hm--that seems reasonable." Emi agrees. "I am also not fond of the sea." The Dennous don't actually know how to swim but Emi doesn't mention this. It is entirely possible that this escapade was to discourage Reize from further sea-ventures. because of their ethnic bias against wate.r EMI DENNOU HAS JOINED THE PARTY! You can even remove all non-goggle equipment if you so desire. If you're that kind of person. Are you that kind of person, Reize?

|Synopsis=Reize made a return to the public to defend the Great Wall from the Undead. However, Reize's main reason for returning was to get an herb that was supposed to bring a friend of his back to good health. He has a talk with the VALKYRI members, who he had not seen in months.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' It's been about a day since the battleat the Great Wall. With the invading undead driven back, the lingering presence of the demon lord still reigns. It seems that the undead presence has existed for a while within the Land of the Dragon. It approaches the evening. Within the Chinese Countryside, many of the shops are continuing like always. People are selling goods such as chicken, duck, and whatnot. The fireworks are always for sale. The greenery is still present despite of the opposition of darkness. One particular person has been going from shop to shop. It's the Boy with the Long Yellow Scarf. His attire, while the overall look has not changed, there are certain asthetics that has bled over from the entrance of this land. Wrapped around his waist beneath his belt is a green sash and his shirt has Chinese embroidery. Instead of his normal boots, it is more of a chinese soldier set of boots. But overall, his look has not changed. "Do you all happen to sell a green herb from a different land?" An elderly lady, looking to be in her seventies, rummages from behind the counter. She procures various green herbs. A frown, "...None of them seem like what I am looking for, thanks!" He feigns a smile. A look of exhaustion spills over. 

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira is still in pretty bad shape. Really, they all were after what had happened. She was sure the hoard had retreated just in time. She couldn't have even held out for another few minutes, she was sure. She'd been pretty darn close to calling Angan to see if he could come pull them out of there through a corridor of darkness. Not exactly her favorite way to travel, but sometimes it came in very handy. Maira has taken a seat in the marketplace while Reize and others browse around. She's eating a delicious meat bun with none of her usual ferver, completely spacing out as she chews. She's tired, that's all. Blood loss, it takes some time to get your energy back. Lots of good meat was called for. Thus, the meat bun. Om nom nom. The clothes she wore to the battle needed to be cleaned and repaired, so she'd borrowed some from the wife of one of the Chinese soldiers. It was a little snug. They'd had to sort of cut open the top a bit and improvise by adding more fabric--else Reize's exhaustion wouldn't be the only thing spilling over 'round here.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Although Reize's search for a specific herb became fruitless, he settled for a meatbuns that was sold at another shop. He takes the time to open his mouth and chomp down. ON NOM! The antenna hair mimics Reize's actions, the strand opening out like a pair of jaws as the boy bites down. As he continues to walk along the town, he turns to see a familiar face in the midst of the crowd. "Ah!" The boy brightens considerably, making his way towards Maira, "Oooi! Maira!" The boy keeps a cheerful look while making his approach. "Well, yesterday was not one of the better ways of running into each other again, but..." He considers, "...From the murmurs, it sounds like this town has been under a lot of strife lately." 

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira blinks, then looks up. Despite exhaustion, she smiles. "Reize! Yeah...that was...bad," she answers, sighing heavily. "Honestly, things have been bad almost everywhere. The Shadow has been active," she adds, shuddering. The image she'd gotten in her mind near the end of the battle flashed through her mind once more, just the latest addition to horrifying memories and images she'd acquired. "So where have you been? We've hardly heard from the Shard Seekers at all. I think Faruja is the only one I've seen in ages. Is Ivo alright? I hope he didn't get into trouble..." maybe Raiya killed him. This seems likely.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' A frown grows on his face as he hears about the update regarding the shadows. So, it looks like things have gotten worse since his absence. He grimaces, then he turns over to see the people tending to their daily activities. It is a bit saddening to see what they have to go through. "I've... been lost at sea with Violet, actually." Reize turns to face Maira, then he rubs the back of his head, "I don't know what happened to Ivo or the other Shard Seekers." He closes his eyes, "While we were on our sea exploration, we came across a massive Heartless whale!" The eyes widen, recollecting the memories, "It was as large as the sky and it expanded to cast a shadow over the Romancing Saga III!" He takes a step back and makes the motions with his hands, a wavelike pattern. "We fought as hard as we could to stay on! But... Violet and I fell overboard and we were on a fragment of the ship, which was like a raft." He frowns, "I've lost contact with the Shard Seekers. My linkshell and other ways of communicating with them had sunk in sea." 

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' Beware! Incoming Maira-seeking missile! How does Avira do it? By being an /expert tracker/ mostly. The wolfish 'dog' at her side also has something to do with the expediency as Avira had no shortage of Maira-scented items around her since the pair are more or less 'roommates'. This 'dog' is with her as she strides through the market in search of her best friend. At her side, it is well-behaved so it is difficult to believe that it is a wild animal under Avira's sway for the meanwhile. Good thing too or the poor wolf might be attacked by on-edge townsfolk. "Reize lost, eh?" Avira smirks, "What else is new?" A hand rests on her hip as she stops to regard both of them, her eyes softening when she sees the condition that Maira is in. "Hey. Sorry I couldn't make it in time to back you up."

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira listens to the story, her features becoming more animated as she watches Reize gesticulate dramatically as he regails her with his tale. "A heartless whale!? Oh wow! ...What's Romancing Saga III? Nevermind, I'm glad you're okay! I hope everyone else is too...you've got to regroup, you need to protect Fluorgis!" she begins. She has to tell him about Maleficent and the crystals! BUT FIRST! Avira! Maira brightens, grabbing Avira by the hand and yanking her down for a hug. "It's okay! We really thought we had it handled...it was real bad Avira. We're all lucky to be alive--er, and lucky to be not undead I guess. Ugh, that would just be /terrible/ wouldn't it? Yuck..." Maira then reaches out to ruffle the wolf's fur. "Hey you! Oh who's the sweetest puppy? Yes you are, its you...want a piece of meat bun? Here you go," she coo's.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' There is a faint grimace at the mention of Fluorgis. As much a Reize likes Fluorgis, going back to there is almost akin to going back 'home'. It is not much of an adventure sticking to one place. However, it seems like there is an important reason to go back there. "Huh?" !! The antenna hair flips up and it sways around before it pinpoints the location of the source. Reize twists his head to see the source of the comment, "Oooi! I did not get lost! This time!" Pause. "...I think." He furrows his eyebrows, "We were intercepted, okay?!" His cheeks puff with annoyance while his antenna hair points with a hiss! Reize did not get lost! Totally! After a moment, he grins, "It's been a long time, Avira!" His eyes drift towards the wolf, then he forms a grin, "Oh wow! Did you get a new wolf?" He kneels down to look over the wolf. "He looks like a friendly guy!" 

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' "It's not okay! I should have been there helping you. Maybe it wouldn't have been cut so close if I had." Avira shivers a little at the thought of Maira and her friends becoming undead. She had fought that necromancer before and was well aware that he'd do it-make zombies out of heroes that is. That hug is returned fiercely. Avira's quick to let Maira go so she can pet the wolf. Her attention shifts to Reize and that smirk returns. "Hasn't it? I can't say I'm too terribly concerned when you go vanishing like that. Figured it was another adventure...or you getting lost. Probably both. Oh this one? Well, sort of, I encounterd him on the way here." The wolf looks questioningly at Maira and licks its lips, perhaps anticipating the feeding to come. His jaws snap out and catch the meat bun in the air. Then Reize kneels in front of him. The wolf freezes and stares at the boy in the scarf, perhaps expectantly. Drool starts to drip down his chin, around the meat bun held in his jaws.

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' "We couldn't have known it would be so difficult Avira, don't blame yourself," she says, flashing her best friend a warm smile. "We made it out. I was pretty ready to call Angan for a corridor if needed." Meat bun now finished, Maira decides she needs another! Standing, she gives Avira a little squeeze. "I'm going to get more meat bun things. You can help catch Reize up on what he's missed. I'll be right brack. I'll bring you some too, don't worry," she says, then wanders off to the food stall. Ou! Are those noodles? And what are /those/ things!? This might take a bit.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Oi! I was intercepted! I didn't get lost!" Steam comes out from above his head this time. He mutters before his head turns away. "Puh!" He squints a bit, then he looks over towards the wolf. The boy brightens into a smile while eyeing the creature. A hand is lifted up to wave at the wolf, but not quite petting it. "Oi! It's nice to meet you! Let's become friends!" His eyes lift up as he gazes at Maira as she mentions about catching him up before wandering off. Errr.. "It sounds like a lot there has been a lot going on while Violet and I had been stranded at sea." 

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' "Well as long as you were ready to bring in Angantyr." That left Avira feeling a little more relived. If Ang was called, he could come right away, meaning then it would be a true emergency at hand. Somehow, an undead cauldron-born invasion didn't wind up being that bad. Avira is thankful. It's a good thing Reize doesn't try to pet the wolf. Just the hand, percieved as an attempt to steal food, receives a warning growl from the wolf. It takes a step back, then tilts his head backwards. The meat bun slides neatly down his throat. "About how long ago were you stranded?" Avira asks with a lifted eyebrow.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize learned the hard way that petting an animal that doesn't know him well is not a good idea: See Interceptor. Granted, it seems that Interceptor does like him, as a chewtoy. Sad times. Nevertheless, Reize opted to just the wolf tilt back and devour the meatbun. Instead, his attention turns towards Avira, slowly standing to his feet. "..It looks like that Anna and I had been stranded from everyone for about 4-5 months." He grimaces, "We managed to make it to some small patch of island each time, but it looked like we were not making progress on getting back to any sort of real civilization." 

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira returns with way more food than she'd intended to get. That's a good sign. Typical Maira. She sets down a whole bunch of meat buns, some sweet cakes, a bowl of cold noodles, and a bag of spicy...crickets. She probably doesn't know what they are. Right? Maira retakes her seat, throwing another meat bun to the wolf with a grin. "That must have been pretty horrible...who's Violet? Have I met her? Is she one of your girlfriends?" One of? Oh, Maira has heard THINGS.

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' Reize, for all his wisdom, is rewarded for his actions with an in-taact hand. His caution means that the animal enjoys his meat bun in piece. It takes the wolf a few seconds to realize that yes, the 'fire' is gone. Regardless, she does not gape or gawk when the girl announces that there's a good 5 months of history he isn't a part of."Maira basically took my one big question." Avira says, her voice high-pitched and full of hope.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize takes the moment to uncork his waterskin and then he tilts his head back while lifting the waterskin for a swig. As he gulp down the water, Maira comes in with her interjection about Violet. PFFFTTT---! Reize spittakes, choking and gasping for air. His face is turning beet red about the girlfriend prt, "Errr, wait what?! I.." "...I..." He tries to evade that question, "She's a new member of the Shard Seekers and was previously from my world before it was devoured by the Heartless!" Nope, not going to say if she is a girlfriend or not! Or many of!!! "...I'm actually trying to find an herb for her. She took care of me when I got sick from our trip at the sea... and exhausted herself to where she is sick worse than I was." He furrows his eyebrows, "...I've been hoping to find the herb to have her treated, but... it's been fruitless so far." 

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira blinks several times. "Riiiight....Reize, how long have you known me? Or at least vaguely known me? You're pretty aware I'm a healer right? I have all sorts of plants and potions back at camp. Why didn't you just ask me?" she asks now, smile growing. "I bet I have the plant you need!" Violet, definitely one of the harem girls. Goodness gracious, was Alma right!? What does he do, drug them!? Maira shakes her head. "I'll help you with that, but then you /must/ promise to keep an eye on the fire crystal! It is....being sought. Have...have you heard of Maleficent?" she asks then, eyes growing round as tea saucers in her intensity. It's almost comical.

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' Avira tends to sort of assume that all of the girls in the Shard Seekers are some kind of girlfriend of Reize. Or someone who WANTS to be Reize's girlfriend. But to hear that he found another person from his own world is uplifting enough. Now he, Ivo, and Lily wouldn't be alone. "I see. I hope she'll get better." Avira frowns, "What's the name of this herb?" Meanwhile, the wolf makes the second meat bun disappear. Pleased, his tail wags for a few moments before he settles down on the ground on his belly, stretching his legs out in front of him.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize instinctively flinches as Maira brings up the point of her being a healer. Reize looks a bit ashamed and then he runs the hand over the back of his head, "Yeah, you're right." His eyes look downcast for a moment, "Sorry, I've... just been busy trying to find a way to bring herb back to good health, that I forgot about the options already existing." He lifts his head at Avira, then he notes, "Someone had mentioned about the Siam Red grass." He furrows his eyebrows, "It sounded like it would grow from somewhere like here, but it seems that it doesn't seem to exist." He looks wistful, "No one in the town has heard of it, so the leds have been cold." 

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira smiles and pats Reize on the shoulder lightly. "It's alright. It could be its called something different here. A picture or at least a description would probably get you better results. Can you describe it? I can check some books (I obviously don't know all plants from all worlds...)" she says. A mission! A mission is always good. Find a plant. That couldn't be too hard! Well...actually...hmmm, she has a bit of a history with plants. Hello Mr. Ochu. Yikes.

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' "Siam Red Grass?" Avira looks thoughtful. A moment of silence passes. "...nope, never heard of it." she finally says, crushing ALL HOPE. "I could ask around though, I know a lot of people now. And Maira's good with potions. If it's in a potion that can be made, Maira might have worked with before under another name so I think she's on the right track."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reaching into his pouch, Reize is rummaging through his belongings, rattling the bag at the process. "Somewhat, I don't have a picture per se, just the description, which I used to sketch out." He procures a journal from his pouch, then he flips he pages of the book until he finds a particular page. It is a little image of a piece of grass with the edge shaped like an arrow. "According to the person who told me about it, the grass looks like a normal piece of grass, except a bit longer and red. There are darker shades of red around the edges and the tip is shaped like an arrow." Thoughtfully, Reize considers, "Someone said that I would find it around this continent, but..." He furrows his eyebrows, "This is quite a large place to begin looking!" He glances back towards Avira, thinking over, "Oh! How has VALKYRI's adventures been? I am sure that you all have been making names for yourselves through all of this time!"

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira beams toward Avira, obviously pleased with a confidence she has in her knowledge and abilities. "I will certainly do my best," she replies. Maira looks back to Reize then, pursing her lips thoughtfully. "It doesn't immediately ring any bells...but I will check all my books when I get back home and get back to you, alright?" "VALKYRI is doing very well! We've uh, certainly been busy..." Maira tilts her head. "In fact, while you were gone, it has kind of seemed like we are almost the only people around....weird, huh?"

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' "I'd definitely notice a plant like that." Avira observes, interested in seeing the sketch, "That little arrow on the end would really stand out to me. Did they say where it grows? Marshland? Grassland? Swamps? Beaches? That kind of thing. It'd help narrow it down." Right on Maira's words, Avira adds, "Oh we've been busy. We have a few special and secret projects going on and..." She smiles slyly, "Some of us have been really, really bad. Like stealing crystals bad. Hehehe. So some of us have had to lay kind of low, y'know?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "The person who told me couldn't remember where it grew. When he was going to tell me, he blanked out and said that he forgot." He exhales a sigh, then he shakes his head. Maira is awarded a smile, "Thanks Maira! I appreciate it!" But, then the talk of his absense and stealing crystals brings him back to a topic at hand. "... Wait." Reize look back at Avira and then Maira, "Weren't you both about to explain about this Maleficent person?" He looks a bit worried, "...Aside from whatever was attacking this place, you mentioned that the Darkness has been extremely active here through he continents."

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira glances to Avira, then looks shifty eyed. "YYyyeeaaah...." she says. "Some of us have been very bad," she continues, giving Avira a little poke before looking back to Reize. Maira looks around for a moment, brow furrowed. "I've been working on something new, lets see here..." she says, then begins to move her hand in a small circular motion, stirring the air around them slightly in such a way that it should keep their voices from carrying out of the perimeter she has set for the spell. "There. Well, that's the thing. Maleficent. She is a Shadlow Lord...uh, Shadow Lady? Anyway, she is not only that--I think she may very well be the most powerful of them. She's something like a leader. Bad news. Really, really bad news...and she's after the crystals for some reason. That's why Avira stole the water crystal. To keep it safe."

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' In spite of the self-admitted badness, Avira looks pretty proud of herself. Why that is, though, is elucidated a few moments later when the topic switches back to Maleficent. Her grin fades at that. "I'm pretty sure she's their leader. She tried to swipe me out of Manhattan at one point. I think she's in search of Princess of Heart." Maira gets a quick worried glance at that. "I don't know what she wants the crystals for. Maybe to increase her magic power even more? Not that I think she really need it, her magic's already pretty awesome on its own."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' The boy's expression becomes thoughtful. He cannot help but think back to his talk with Will long ago. Perhaps this is what he was talking about. Reize lifts his head up at Maira, "So she is the leader of their organization." A frown grows. "If she is after the crystals..." He sucks in a breath, "...I will need to head back to Fluorgis soon." He frowns, "...Can't quite go back without making sure that Anna--" And then he realizes his slipping of her name, visible with a wince--"Err.. Violet--is alright." Erghk.

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira blinks. There's an Anna now too!? Anna and Violet!? THE HAREM GROWS! "Yes, you should get back there immediately, so if I can help with your friend...er...lead the way, alright? The fire crystal has to be protected."

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' Avira frowns for a moment. Anna or Violet? Could they be the same person? ...nah, this is Reize, it's probably another girl. Politely, Avira does not comment. "Do you need help getting her somewhere safe?" she implores, "We'd clearly be glad to. Anything to prevent Maleficent from getting her claws on the crystals."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Whew, at least they did not question about her identity. However, Reize may have dug his reputation along the hole even worse. Granted, Reize is unaware of the murmurs of that reputation! Nevertheless, Reize looks at Maira and Avira with a faint smile, "...Sure." He brightens his smile, "We can hopefully move her somewhere safer--- follow me." The boy is walking off along the city, "She is staying at a residence a bit far from here."

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira lets go of the little spell she wove to stop eavesdroppers and gets to her feet, maybe with a bit of help. She sort of broke a leg. That's going to take some time. She'll put an arm around Avira and limp. Avira is perfect height to be a crutch! (Short joke!) "Alright then! Lead the way. Um, slowly."

:'''[[Avira]] has posed:''' Questioning the idenity of Reize's mystery girl would do her no good. She didn't recognize the name violet nor any Anna-name besides that weird girl that once showed up at the Gummi Camp. She seemed to have a different male protagonist type following her around. Gladly, she helps Maira up and gives her a shoulder to lean on as they walk/limp along after Reize.

}}
:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' It's night time in Fluorgis. Hours passed since the night of Reize's attempt to go on an adventure ended abruptly with the presence of the Shard Seeker's child, Dandelion. The beagle of destruction sent Reize on a nice three hour nap before he finally woke up. He escaped to the city proper upon waking up, deciding to get a bit of fresh air. That fresh air would lead him into the streets of the town. Like always, Reize would hang at the bridge, gazing up towards the stars. He winces, rubbing his throbbing head. 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' It felt as if the rest of the city was asleep already. At least, in this part of town where the businesses, huts and store shops are closed in the evening. The only sounds being the gentle babbling brooks and streams that weave through the city. It isn't difficult for Reize to see from his point on the bridge at the familiar figure down below, the girl having abandoned her shoes to wade ankle-deep in one of the closer rivers, mere feet away from a waterfall. Anna splashes with her feet, gently kicking up more waves as she holds onto her skirt if only to make sure that it doesn't get wet as well. The small smile on her lips tugs, though her thoughts are distracted as she lifts a hand to brush back her pale locks, crystal blue eyes wistfully glancing up at the moon while the pale light shimmers on the water around her.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' While taking the moment to gaze over his surroundings, Reize runs a hand towards the back of his head. He then stops upon spotting a familiar figure down towards the river. After inspecting ahead, he realizes that it's Anna. "Huh, it looks like she is up as well." Reize moves down from the bridge, deciding to make a few twists and turns along the bridge until he finally makes his way underneath. When he makes his arrival down with her, the boy tilts his head over. His eyes drift over to ensure that no one else is around. Not Lily, not Ivo, not Shiki. No one but them. "Oi, Anna." He is careful with her name. It is a moment before he takes a sheepish look, a hand gesturing towards the back of his head. "Err, sorry about earlier, I was reaching for the fruit jar, and..."

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Only one person here knows her name. At least to use it publicly. And it was enough to give her a pause before the girl glances over her shoulder at him, her pale blonde hair a gentle white glow under the moonlight. Watching Reize as he approaches, the awkwardness in his stature while he apologizes is enough to earn a rosy flush in her cheeks. "Oh. That." Anna curls her fingers subtly into the fabric of the skirt in her hands. "I know. It was an accident. You are not the type of boy that would do something like that to... well, that..." Her cheeks burn hotter. Or did it just feel warmer outside? It's so difficult to tell. "It was just a jumble of confusion to be honest. I did not know half of the things that were going on. People flying through windows..."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Finally settling underneath the bridge, Reize looks over towards Annalise and then he starts to approach her direction. He remains standing, looking over her while she gazes his way. Her reassurance is comforting given that Reize did not intentionally grope her. He has had a bad luck of getting into those sort of situations, especially with his current--- hrm. Reize thinks over the situation, offering the princess a grin. "Well, that was the case. So many things happened at once. However, Ivo is back and we can start our adventure around the world!" He lifts his head up, "...And leave Fluorgis to the others for a while." 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Anna couldn't help but soften as he grins. That boyish grin that says to the world that he'll take on anything that's thrown at him. Something sparkles in her eyes as she turns to face him, using one of her bare feet to toss a small splash in his direction. "You still have a few things to clear up for me." Her smile grows a she lifts a pale brow at him. "What were you and Ivo arguing about for example?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize keeps tht boyish grin on his face, showing that he is ready to take on anything, no matter how tough the challene is. It is at that moment that Anna is stepping in as the challenger, splashing the water at his way with her barefoot. In turn, Reize brings a hand to shield himself. "Gack!" And she brings up the question about himself and Ivo. "I.. uhh..." He coughs a bit, then he starts coughing. "I... uhh." Crap. Where can this go? "Just uhh... guy stuff!" His eyes become dots as he gets that look of determination. "Guy talk!" ... ...Antenna hair flop. "...He was asking me about which one of the Shard Seekers have I been spending time with while he was gone." 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Annalise blinks her crystal blue eyes blankly a few times with mild surprise at the unexpected answer. At the unexpectedly vague answer. That's weird... "'Guy stuff'?" she can only guess what that could mean. His antennae hair visibly flops as he explains further. Kinda. She quietly frowns in thought. "You mean, which female Shard Seekers you have been spending time with?" Anna knew that Ivo was essentially Reize's big brother. Is that what he could mean. "And... I suppose that would be secret."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Ugh ugh. Reize hates this topic! This is why adventures are so much better! Less talking and more fun and travels! The boy, although wishing he was traveling, is here to explain things to Annalise, who has been prying in. Though, in retrospect, she has been very open to him. ...So he is going to open up with her. "...Yes." He furrows his eyebrows, "Well, I wasn't quite sure what he was getting at, but then he mentioned Lenn... implying about... umm.." He then lifts a finger, "Well." He coughs, "That's when I accidentally blurted your name." 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Implying... She can only assume it wasn't good, since it was from Ivo. And her name was blurted. Color flushes in her cheeks with some embarrassment, shy even knowing that their designated older brother will assume the worse. It wasn't as if they had done anything either. Her fingers quietly release her skirt as Anna wades closer, the water sloshing around her ankles before she leans in to kiss Reize softly on the cheek. "I... just wanted to do that..." the princess admits quietly as she leans back, the shy smile tugging at her lips.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' The situation becomes more and more awkward for Reize to explain it all. It is honestly hard to tell. He knows that, in the end, it is going to be digging a ditch for himself. So, he wants to try to say as less as possible. However, Reize notices those cheeks turn color. His eyes widen a bit, then he offers a sheepish smile. However, the surprise comes when Annalise wdes closer and she leans forward to kiss Reize on the cheek. His eyes widen, the cheeks flushed while his hand hangs over a bit. It is in those moments that Reize allows the silence to pass. This situation is becoming more confusing. On one hand, he is engaged to Lenn. Lily is... like another part of him that he can't explain. Shiki is his Partner. However, Annalise. There is something about her that the boy is falling for. His hand reaches for her own slowly, offering a smile. "Anna. Let's head back. It's late, I realize. We should get ready for our travels in the morning." 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' His fingers lightly touch hers as Reize takes her hand, and Annalise flushes a bit deeper as she quietly curls her small fingers between his. It was a trusting gesture that she wouldn't give to just anyone. "Sure." she agrees. "I am still packed from a few hours ago. My bag is at the foot of my bed ready to go." The young woman bites softly at the inside of her lip as she looks away, before her hand gives his a squeeze.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Once Annalise starts to curl her fingers against his, Reize is slowly considering his situation. He keeps pondering over the complicated relationships that he is in. Nevertheless, he maintains a smile, then he looks at Violet. "Great! We'll be off in the morning." With her hand squeezing against his, he promptly returns the squeeze before taking her back to the Headquarters.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Summer time approaches. Within Fluorgis, that means the weather is HOT. The grand desert city is where the heat rises beyond the normal temperatures. It is likely within the hotter spectrum with the blazing sun roaring. The city is brustling with life, people had been recovering since the invasion of the Dark Knight. However, the atmosphere has been tense, especially with the constructon of the Glabados church within the city. However, within the Shard Seekers, Reize is resting against the opened window of the lobby, frowning. "I wonder if this is such a good idea." Then, he offers a faint smile, "Maybe it won't be too bad, but..." He squints. "Faruja will probably give me more information as to what is going on." He soon hops off, turning towards his backpack. "Nevertheless, it's time for the Shard Seekers to start moving on anyway." He lifts his head up to the sky, "... We need to find those World Shards!"

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' She only had a few things to pack, if any. Being so new to this realm has its advantages, as Violet hasn't had much time to gather worldly possessions. And that's fine with her for now. Making sure she has everything she needs for a lengthy trip, the pale-headed girl hefts the bag onto her back before hurrying out the door. No doubt Reize wouldn't wait very long if anyone was late, he was so eager. Arriving in the lobby just in the nick of time, Violet takes a short moment to catch her breath. Just before she blinks in realization and quickly looks around them. Reize was there of course, but where are the others? "Are we the only ones? Where is everyone else?"

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' Lily's returned from a rather extensive trip to Daguerro or however that's spelled, along with Shiki and Lenn and a few others. She's just now returning, meaning... "Phewaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh..." All but toppling in through the door to her home in relief. New acquisition: a shiny rapier sheathed at her side, held in place by a blue belt fitted tightly 'round her waist. Despite seeming exhaustion, there's a new spring in her step and alertness in her eyes as she has a look about. "I'm baaaaaaaaaaack!"

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' "Leaving without me?" Reize and Violet will have some time to react to Lily's arrival before a familiar good-natured man's voice will echo through the lobby. It is likely they will not see Ivo as he slips through the door, left open by Lily's headlong tumble through it, giving him a few moments to regard his nostalgic surroundings with a warm and almost wistful smile, broadening into a grin as his gaze settles upon the antics of his younger friends. It's then that he speaks. His cloak is draped over one arm, both because it is hot and because it seems to have endured quite a beating wherever Ivo has been, but the dark-haired young swordsman and mischevious big brother of the Shard Seekers looks much has he always did before his unexplained disappearance. "Lily, Princess," he greets the two girls in turn, his smile softening as it shifts to the girl in white, now with rapier. "Long time no see. Chief," he adds, voice deepening playfully as he looks back to Reize, eyes sparkling with his usual mixture of affection and amusement. "How's the device been treating you? It must be getting time for a Version Two." He looks happy to be back.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Of course, Reize would had totally left people behind if they did not hurry up. Reize was eager to explore and if they were content with staying home, so be it. The boy was definitely ready to get the move on. It is, however, that when Violet arrives, Reize suddenly fidgets. "...A--Ah--Anna!" He yelps a bit, then he brightens to a smile. His eyes glance over at her his posture tensing slightly. It soon ends, however, when she shows that she is packed for the trip. "Ahahhaha.." He rubs the back of his head, "It looks like you're ready for the trip, and..." That is interrupted when Lily comes strolling in, looking lively as ever. "Oooi! Lily!" The boy waves a hand her way, then he squints at the sight of something that is out of place for her. "Buh? Taking up the sword, Lily?" That is pretty new for the young girl. "Well, Violet and I are actually planning to travel. If you want to join, better hurry up!" The boy beams. 'Leaving without me?' Quickly turning his head to the voice, Reize's eyes iden as the familiar figure appears. "Ooooi! Ivo!" With jubilee, the boy waves his hand wildly at Ivo with a renewed bright smile. "Where were you---..." It is when Anna, or rather, Violet being referred to as 'Princess' that Reize winces a bit. He thought she was trying to hide that? He looks back at her and thn Ivo. He squints. The subject of the device is brought up, "Oh! Well, we thought we saw a Shard, but... it turned out that it pinged to a giant bird. One of its minions nearly kidnapped me until Lily, Violet, and the others saved me!" Reize squints, "Where have you been?" 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Violet blinks at Reize first when he stumbles over her name. Her actual name. And because he yelps with surprise that she becomes self-conscious, at least a little bit. Him rubbing the back of his neck doesn't help either... Whatever this weird thing that was going on is suddenly interrupted as first Lily enters, then Ivo as he practically saunters in. The greeting was as expected from him but when he calls her 'princess' Violet tenses visibly. "Who are you calling 'princess'?" she murmurs with some flatness in her voice.

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' "With Shiki!" Lily answers. "We got held up by Reapers and mean people..." Much of the conversation seems to be going over Lily's head, but the girl in white robes glances about with considerable confusion at all the talkers. "Ivo! IVO!" With a gasp Lily's whole body shudders. "Oh... oh, that's right. I have something important to tell everyone. Priel abandoned all of us and is with those people who are after Shiki now!!" She waves her arms as if hoping for people to listen. Pleading for them to listen! "--uh?" Only to suddenly blink at Reize. "Leaving? But... huh?"

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' Ironically, when Ivo first called Violet 'Princess' the day the two met in the garden, it was meant as a nickname; that she confessed it to be fact perhaps was testament to his intuition. If he notices Violet's heightened tension, though, he doesn't show it, unflappable as usual. "Why, Reize, of course," he responds to her question, before grinning at the boy. "Sounds like we both went on some wild goose chases. I got held up on an island packed full of Heartless I had to dispense with. Sorry I was out of touch; my phone fell in the ocean." All of this is technically true. "If you're going on a journey, why don't I tag along? You kids will need a chaperone," says Ivo, who is like three or four years older than some of you, making him practically a grandfather by JRPG standards. "My curiosity needs sating." And four is a good number for an adventuring party. Ivo glances over at Lily's news. He doesn't exactly seem-- surprised, at all. But his lips quirk downward, notable precisely because he seems to try to suppress it. "That's what happens when I'm not around to rein her in," he murmurs to no one in particular. "Don't worry. If she's after Shiki now, then we'll see her again, right?" He doesn't sound too troubled. Poor Shiki. "We'll find out what Priel's after then."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' The tension in the air is perhaps unclear at this time. However, that is thankfully interrupted with Lily's arrival, who was rather upbeat. However, it is when she answers about Shiki that Reize blinks. "Eh?" And then, Lily has something important to tell them. Priel has betrayed them. ... ... His antenna hair flops low and the boy hangs his head with a sigh. "...And I was beginnig to trust her, too." He mutters to himself. Then, he looks at Lily, "Yes, we're going to find the missing shards. There are more shards to find and we will not find them sticking around here!" Then, Reize grunts at Ivo with a twitch of an eyebrow, "Ah hahaha.... Sure, we could always use your expertise. Besides, you can operate the Shard Seeker better than I can." 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Maybe it was because of the fact that Violet only met Priel once, but she wasn't to hurt emotionally when Lily explained that Priel had left and betrayed them. Lily and Reize both were closer to her than Violet was, even Ivo appeared a bit disappointed. Her soft lips part with a small breath. "The only thing we can do now is move forward." And hope that Priel wasn't privy to any sensitive information about the Shard Seekers.

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' "No, Ivo. I mean it! She... went with the Reapers. Made a deal with that fire hair Hades person with the creepy teeth." Wait, when did Lily comprehend the idea of a contract? "She's... I don't even know if you can undo that. She has the wings, leading Noise, everything! And she... attacked all of us..." She qucily moves to Reize's side, one hand on her new weapon's hilt, the other squeezing his arm for comfort. His, or hers, it's hard to say. "Violet, you're coming too?"

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' "She already had a tail, didn't she?" Ivo's slight smile is back, and his calm voice remains unwavering in the face of Lily's assertions. Though his stance is casual, his tone is reasonable; he doesn't sound dismissive, just unworried. "Wings aren't so out of place. Don't fret. If she attacks you again--" His smile quirks up at the corner. "--I'll just beat her, okay?" If Ivo is having any deeper thoughts about Priel's betrayal, he isn't hinting at them. Having returned to headquarters at last, perhaps he's simply not in the mood for any drama. At least, not of this particular brand. "Speaking of expertise," he remarks, strolling over to Reize, "have you been broadening your horizons in the meantime?" Grinning, he places a hand on the boy's shoulder. "You've been with all these girls unsupervised for so long that I wouldn't be surprised. No need to be shy, right?" Ivo's tone is blithe, but his eyes are twinkling. "Seriously, who've you gotten the furthest with?"

:'''[[Shiki Misaki]] has posed:''' Shiki Misaki was in the market, buyin' some stuff, since she's been in Daguerreo for quite a while and she took all her stuff with her and now she ran out of it so she needed to buy some more stuff! Girly stuff. And Shiki stuff. You know how it is. And now Ivo's back! And Reize! And everything is awkward now. "Oooooooh hi." ._.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' So, there are more Reapers and Priel is amongst them. How annoying. Reize mutters a bit, rubbing his forehead for a moment. It is when Lily arrives at his side that he acks. He looks back at Lily when she squeezes his other arm, "Ahh...!" He laughs a bit, "Well, it looks like Violet will be coming with us, yeah." Ivo's dismissive nature earns a frown from the boy, then he lifts his shoulders with a shrug. "...I suppose you so." His antenna hair flops from one side as he gives an incredelous look at Ivo. "We'll deal with it as we go!" Meanwhile, Reize loks at Ivo when the older man places a hand over at his shoulder. Broadening his horizons?! Unsupervised?! ...His antenna hair stands up as his cheeks turn red. "Ack! Wait, Ivo..." His eyes shift between Lily and then Violet. His head turns from left to right and back again. Cheeks puff and he glares at Ivo as his antenna hair points directly at the older man, "Oooii! That is not a topic of interest! Adventure is and.." And Shiki returns. Without skipping a beat, Reize remains bright as can be, "We will be traveling onward to find the remaining shards!" 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Between Lily's hugging and Ivo's suggestive inquires it was difficult not to do anything. Her hands tighten on the straps of her knapsack for but a moment before Shiki Misaki appears, giving some amount of relief. A distraction. Exactly what they need right now. The long length of her pale blonde tail sways slightly as Violet glances over her shoulder at the new arrival, lowering her chin with a small nod towards her before returning her attention to Reize and the attached Lily. "We should start before it gets any later in the day. It would not do to get outside of the city walls only to need to build camp for the night."

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' "Someone has to!" Lily agrees with Ivo. "But... she's strong. Really strong. She beat back all three of us... Shiki, Lenn, and I..." Lily quite suddenly shudders and draws closer to Reize, nibbling on her lower lip as the memories of that awful pain return. She's never quite been hurt SO BADLY all at one moment... "I... just got baaaaack..." Is her only complaint to what Violet brings up.

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' Again, Ivo's tone is calm in a manner not dismissive but reassuring, but he does grow quieter at Lily's words. "I'm sorry she hurt you, Lily," he says. "It's my responsibility for inviting her among us and asking you all to trust her--" The moment he made that wish flashes back to him. "--and if I had been here, I might have been able to do something to stop her." Too bad he had /such good reasons/ for being gone. "But don't you worry about me and Priel's power." Ivo's slight smile has returned, and his eyes are warm again. "I know her weak point." This is true. "Milady is right," he then says, presumably referring to Violet -- in these moments, it's hard to know whether he's messing with someone -- as he turns back to Reize, after flashing a smile and nodding in greeting at Shiki (she seems exhausted). "I'm back, but if we can't have a party, let's form a party." His hand is still on the boy's shoulder. "The Shard Seeker device clearly remains in need of serious testing, as does our fearless leader's cootie tolerance." He leans in toward Reize conspiratorally, but absurdly doesn't bother to lower his voice, meaning that Lily, Violet, and Shiki can hear him just fine anyway. "No, really, which one's your favorite? It's Leida, isn't it? She's so charming. Oh, no, I get it. It's Lenn, huh? Yeah, I understand. The others don't really-- well, you know."

:'''[[Shiki Misaki]] has posed:''' Shiki Misaki just sort of stands and listens and blinks a bit. Ivo's here, yes, but romance problems are the least of her concerns given that this is the first time she's seen Reize in weeks and the conversation about Priel's betrayal seems to have started without her. Also, there's someone else here she doesn't recognise, so she's going to have to make this brief, much as she doesn't want to under the circumstances. So she walks up and gives- in order- Reize, Lily, and then Reize and Lily a brief but meaningful hug, after which she sits down on a chair. "/Hello/, Ivo," she says rather distastefully. "Hello..." she searches for Violet's name, but comes up blank. "Hello, I'm Shiki Misaki. I don't think I've met you before."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Grunt. Reize grunts at Violet when she brings up about camping, or rather, not wanting to camp. The young boy puffs his cheeks and he retort, "Nonsense! It is perfectly acceptable to camp out in the middle of nowhere where the monsters dwell in the midst of traveling!" "We have places to see, shards to find, and..." He starts unrolling his map. "With my trusty map, we will find a spot in no time!" And the subject falls back onto Priel once more. Grumble. He was having a good day, too. However, Ivo brings up an important tactic. A torch light appears over Reize's head. "Priel's weak point!" There is a look of determination in his eyes. In fact, one can see the flames light up. "If we strike Priel's weak point, she will be defeated for sure!" Nevermind that Priel would make his life hell. However, traitors deserve having their weaknesses used against them! "Finally, we're back to the talks of a party! We will leave soon and start the---" The words are interrupted when Shiki hug him. Buh? The boy offers her a faint smile, placing his arm around her to hug her. It looks like Shiki has been through a lot. Nevertheless, Reize says, "Okay, guys! We will travel and...." And Ivo switches topics once more. Twitch. Twitch. With the input on Leida and then Lenn, Reize finally puffs his cheeks with an annoyed look. "Ooi, Ivo, Violet's aren't ----" ... "...Wait." 

:'''[[Shiki Misaki]] has posed:''' Shiki Misaki says, "/Travel/. Yes. Let's go, travel and adventures! Hoo-ah. I like this plan. Let's go on an adventure and leave our cares behind. I can get behind this!"

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Violet glances at Reize with a mildly flat look. "I do not mind camping. I just do not want to waste most of the day getting outside the city only to have to stop and camp. I rather we have a good bit of distance travel before having to need to set up camp but trekking through the dark is foolish. I can only imagine what would be out there, not to mention the possibility of becoming lost. Seriously lost." Violet quietly watches as Shiki hugs the others, then takes a seat on one of the chairs. A small smile tugs at her lips as she dips her chin to the other girl. "Call me Violet, please. It is a pleasure to meet you. I wish it was under better circumstances." Her crystal blue eyes blink as she glances back at where Ivo was whispering loudly to Reize, only to frown. "I am not what?"

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' Ami walks inside suddenly without any preamble, opening the door and stepping right on in. She doesn't say hello or even wave. Instead she just hunches up her shoulders, distinctly takes the effort to look away from ANYONE and props open one of the larger windows inside the building. She then takes a small tape measurerer and gets the measurements of the windowspace before nodding to herself and walking to the girls dorm without a word. About five seconds after that, a Dennou leaps through the window, spinning around like a javelin and lands in a handstand. A pause of movement allows one to infer it's Umi before she handsprings back into a standing position, jogging forward towards Ivo and attempting to give him an ATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMIC HEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADBUUUUUUUUUUUUTT for no readily apparent reason. Because she only shouts her reason after performing the atomic headbutt. "A TRUE MEETING OF THE MINDS! This one has come to speak with her fists or more accurately her face, and through the rival's challenge we will grow to learn and understand each other!" She punches the air a few times, kicks the air a few more times, and then says, "Absorb my feelings through your skull!" Ami comes back down, hugging Mr. Mew in her arms. She has apparently outfitted Mr. Mew with a small knitted pink sweater. "..."

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' After returning Shiki's hug, Lily hops in place a few times and waves her free hand, making her new weapon rattle a little in its scabbard. "We're really leaving again so soon?" Apparently the topic Ivo's bringing up is going RIGHT over her head, but she does give Reize a confused look as if not sure what's wrong with him... And murmurs, "Huh?"

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' Ivo is glad to see that Shiki is making an effort to get her spirits up, and so her sharp and hugless greeting is responded to with an amused grin, his eyebrows raising slightly, as if to say, 'Come on, you love me.' Can you blame him for being even more irrepressible than usual? Reize's good cheer and characteristic burning determination is helping, and as usual Ivo is reciprocating by enabling the boy -- "That's the spirit, chief!" -- but most of all, he just got back. And he strikes gold. When Reize trails off, Ivo has to bite his lower lip, shoulders trembling slightly before he can safely contain himself. But while his expression is composed, his eyes are practically shining with mirth. "So you /have/ been paying attention," the knight-oh-so-errant remarks, just a little too casually. "I always took you for an apt student." His eyes flicker to the two Legion-chans as they wander in, as is their wont, but he can't stop now, he's on a roll. "Yet really, Reize, were those all Lenn were to you? Can you cast her aside now that you've found a new set of--" BOOM "Are... your feelings... pain?" This is all he can managed as, poleaxed by Umi's headbutt, Ivo stares dazedly into the distance. "If so, I'm readinng them loud and clear. If not, perhaps you could learn to speak with your face more gently. Reize can teach you all about that." He's still at it, even as he grimaces, raising a hand to gingerly touch his brow, squinting as the headache passes. "Ahh, I'm seeing double. ...No, right, there /are/ two of you."

:'''[[Shiki Misaki]] has posed:''' Shiki Misaki rubs her forehead, and rolls her eyes at Ivo. "Hello, Violet. As you can see, things go a mile a minute around here when these two are in the room together. You know Reize? I met him and we spent a few weeks travelling, camping, adventuring too. That's how we got to know each other. It was really fun! I mean, aside from that time slave traders nabbed us... but still!" Don't you just love it when you can recount adventures like that? Mr. Mew doesn't do a single thing. He's enjoying this juuuuust fine.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Violet's comment earns a quick, "Nothing! Nothing!" from the boy. He is already sweating bullets. The boy is definitely trying to find a new topic to get away from the current one. Adventure, yes. God, let's adventure. "Good thinking, Shiki!" He frowns at Lily, "Of course we are! We can't stick around in one area for too long." Then, he considers, "Well, you guys can, but I am making my leave." Reize wants to adventure and he is impatient. And Ivo brings up the topic regarding Lenn and Violet once more. ....Until he is headbutted. Reize winces at the impact of Ivo's headbutt, then he rubs the forehead. "Uhh...." He mutters to himself, "I'm hungry...." There is thankfully a fruit tray nearby. Or at least, should be. The boy had been wanting an apple, or some type of melon. His hand reaches out to the fruit tray... ...Only to move past it. "Are you okay, Ivo?" Pause. "...I think he is." --Instead, he ends up accidently grabbing something. Or someone. Poor Violet. Squish. "Now, I can get a tasty-...." ... "...Errr.." Reize has a wide-eyed look upon realization.

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' "Woah... it worked!" Umi grins suddenly. "I will have to headbutt more often, for communiucative purposes!" Ami continues silently hugging Mr. Mew who, as is only natural, gets more action than anyone else in the room. She pats his head fondly. She doesn't especially seem troubled by Reize grabbing Violet's melons. Melon theft is a well known issue in the Shard Seekers. "Thank you, Ivo, our brother in arms. The Network clarifies that brother is metaphorical in this instnace and not an actual symbol of blood or adoptive relations." Umi doesn't seem troubled by her own headbutt. Maybe she rams her head into things a lot. She looks towards Reize. "Would you like to talk too?" She braces herself.

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' Mile a minute is okay. Lily lets go of Reize and hops away when he goes reaching for something... and then ends up blinking up a storm at the apparent accident. She makes a very odd face, as if not entirely SURE what just happened there. IN fact, she turns that confused look to Shiki a moment later!

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Violet blinks blankly at the Ami first as the girl walks in, begins measuring the window, then walks out. Just before Umi seems to randomly leap through the opened window and lands in a handstand. Just what is going on around here anyways? The young girl frowns to herself as she glances to the stomped Ivo, confused, before her attention is pulled towards Shiki. "I... suppose that is something similar to how I met him. I just came through the portal from my world without realizing it and... well, literally ran into Reize." Not her most proudest of moments. Violet blinks her powder blue eyes up at Reize, who was denying something so utterly and completely that she had to wonder what was going on. Her lips part with a small exhaled breath, attention drawn to the dazed Ivo on the floor as Reize moves around her for the fruit tray. At least, that's what she thought was supposed to happen. The hand grabs her front unexpectedly and for a moment the girl just blinks in blank surprise. While everyone stares. A swift and deep flush rises in her skin equal to that of any cherry as she dips her head down to hide her face behind her bangs, and several moments pass before she leans forward to whisper something into Reize's ear. And just like that she removes his hand. Still blushing fiercely, but much less hitting than one would expect.

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' "Wait, what do you mean, 'it worked'?" Her feelings /were/ pain!? Ivo is still cradling his head when Reize, as it were, makes his move, which makes it easy for the erstwhile provocateur to conveniently slide that hand over his face to muffle his mouth, /forcing/ himself not to laugh. "See, Reize, you've got to trust your instincts," he says between gasps for breath and a gap in his fingers. "Your body knows what your mind is yet ignorant of." For now, at least. "Why do you need to clarify?" he offers to Umi when he finally lowers his hand. Maybe he's still a little dazed, and asking random questions, but at this point it doesn't look like Reize is going to need any further help getting into trouble. "Does the Network have any non-metaphorical brothers? You're all sisters, right? In a manner of speaking." He pauses, then crosses his arms and cups his chin, amiable smile broadening into a grin again. "Say, I know I've never asked before, but I don't suppose any of your sisters are a little... older... looking?" Give it a rest, Ivo, you had enough of that in Hawaii. "Hm?" Oh, now everyone's /whispering/. "I can hear you!" He can't.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' When Umi asks the boy if he wanted to talk as well, the young adventurer tenses when the girl braces herself. "W---that--that won't be necessary, Umi! Really!" Inwardly, Reize wished Emi was around. She would be a bit more level-headed! Emi is unlikely to headbutt him either! Goodness! And when Violet whispers into his ear, he gives her a sheepish smile with a sweatdrop at the back of his head. "Ahahahha... sorry, Violet. That.. that was an accident." Ivo's comment gets a glare from the boy, who mutters. "Ooi! My instinct says ADVENTURE! We are to go on an adventure!"

:'''[[Shiki Misaki]] has posed:''' "I hope that doesn't mean you're engaged to her now, too, Reize," Shiki says, because hey, Ivo's not the only one who can tease. "In any case! If we're going on an adventure, did Lily or Lenn tell you the reason we all shipped off in the first place? Ooh, did they show you the weapons the Legendary Smith made for us? I put mine back in my room! I was just in the market looking for something I could use to carry it around more easily with! Trust me, it'll be a big help if we're going out on the road..."

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' The fierce flush remains in her cheeks as Violet manages to raise her eyes, glancing at the others only to blink at Shiki's words. "'Too'?" she asks, confused. A small frown knits at her delicate brow as she looks from Shiki to Reize, searching his face for an answer that wasn't there. Finally she presses her lips as she glances away. "No, nothing of a sort. I would never force someone into marriage like that. It is manipulative."

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' Umi is the one Dennou with a low enough INT stat that she actually somehow doesn't know everything the other Dennous know which should be fundamentally impossible. It's probably because she is also probably the most independent of Dennous. "Um?" She says. "No, we don't have any brothers. We're all girls. And we're all the same apparent age." She almost goes into how old they actually are but Ami holds up an index finger in a 'ssh-ing' gesture. It's already weird enough for them. "Ahh--but yes! No older looking sisters. They would have to clone another one, though THe Network doesn't think anybody has that level of technology, at least none that we frequent...uh...frequently?" She frowns faintly. "And there's other...stuff..." Pause. "...We'll be older eventually! With time, our bodies age! Man, I hope I make it to 40 so I can have an over the hill party, The Network thinks that would be hilarious. Ha ha ha novelty old people gifts!" Ami hugs Mr. Mew a little more tightly. "So! This one wants to go on adventure too! Lets do it!"

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' Now what? Lily's confusion's just growing, it shows when Shiki whispers to her. Her shoulders bunch up in a shrug, another newly acquired mannerism... "... Adventure, as always! But this time I'm packing more clothes. They keep getting ruined. EVERY TIME." She finally says. Apparently it's ALL she has to say, keeping this simple.

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' With time? We don't have any time! It's adventure time! "I figured as much," Ivo murmurs, shrugging and shaking his head with mostly-feigned resignation. "Metaphorical brother it is." Could be worse. Though that headbutt was pretty bad. The exchange between Shiki and Violet forces Ivo to suppress another grin. So Reize hasn't said anything to Violet about-- well, this sould be fun. "Reize is right," he interjects clearly. "It's time for action. Why don't you guys go on ahead? I need to replace my phone. I'll get in contact with you all and meet up on the road later. Besdies--" He inclines his head toward the battered cloak on his arm. "--I've got to get changed, at least." And with that, Ivo is going to begin sauntering off to the good old boys' dorm, an amused smile on his face -- though hopefully not so swiftly that he misses the result of Reize's rolling a 1.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Uhh..." Reize lifts his finger, wondering how to explain the situation. Instead, Reize decides, "Adventure!" He grunts, "We shall be leaving and nothing shall stop me from leaving!" Just as quickly, the door of the garden open as a small beagle comes running into the lobby. It quickly starts bowling the boy over off of his feet. "Acccckk!" As the boy slips and falls, the padding that he falls on is arced to where the boy starts rolling into the garden. "Gaaahh!" Oh, slick ground. WHAM! Reize's current condition: x_x

:'''[[Shiki Misaki]] has posed:''' "...I'll show you later," Skiki decides. And so she goes to put her newly acquired market stuff in bags and so forth! Because we're going on an adventure! Hopefully this one will work out better than the last one!

}}
:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Summer time approaches. Within Fluorgis, that means the weather is HOT. The grand desert city is where the heat rises beyond the normal temperatures. It is likely within the hotter spectrum with the blazing sun roaring. The city is brustling with life, people had been recovering since the invasion of the Dark Knight. However, the atmosphere has been tense, especially with the constructon of the Glabados church within the city. However, within the Shard Seekers, Reize is resting against the opened window of the lobby, frowning. "I wonder if this is such a good idea." Then, he offers a faint smile, "Maybe it won't be too bad, but..." He squints. "Faruja will probably give me more information as to what is going on." He soon hops off, turning towards his backpack. "Nevertheless, it's time for the Shard Seekers to start moving on anyway." He lifts his head up to the sky, "... We need to find those World Shards!"

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' She only had a few things to pack, if any. Being so new to this realm has its advantages, as Violet hasn't had much time to gather worldly possessions. And that's fine with her for now. Making sure she has everything she needs for a lengthy trip, the pale-headed girl hefts the bag onto her back before hurrying out the door. No doubt Reize wouldn't wait very long if anyone was late, he was so eager. Arriving in the lobby just in the nick of time, Violet takes a short moment to catch her breath. Just before she blinks in realization and quickly looks around them. Reize was there of course, but where are the others? "Are we the only ones? Where is everyone else?"

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' Lily's returned from a rather extensive trip to Daguerro or however that's spelled, along with Shiki and Lenn and a few others. She's just now returning, meaning... "Phewaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh..." All but toppling in through the door to her home in relief. New acquisition: a shiny rapier sheathed at her side, held in place by a blue belt fitted tightly 'round her waist. Despite seeming exhaustion, there's a new spring in her step and alertness in her eyes as she has a look about. "I'm baaaaaaaaaaack!"

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' "Leaving without me?" Reize and Violet will have some time to react to Lily's arrival before a familiar good-natured man's voice will echo through the lobby. It is likely they will not see Ivo as he slips through the door, left open by Lily's headlong tumble through it, giving him a few moments to regard his nostalgic surroundings with a warm and almost wistful smile, broadening into a grin as his gaze settles upon the antics of his younger friends. It's then that he speaks. His cloak is draped over one arm, both because it is hot and because it seems to have endured quite a beating wherever Ivo has been, but the dark-haired young swordsman and mischevious big brother of the Shard Seekers looks much has he always did before his unexplained disappearance. "Lily, Princess," he greets the two girls in turn, his smile softening as it shifts to the girl in white, now with rapier. "Long time no see. Chief," he adds, voice deepening playfully as he looks back to Reize, eyes sparkling with his usual mixture of affection and amusement. "How's the device been treating you? It must be getting time for a Version Two." He looks happy to be back.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Of course, Reize would had totally left people behind if they did not hurry up. Reize was eager to explore and if they were content with staying home, so be it. The boy was definitely ready to get the move on. It is, however, that when Violet arrives, Reize suddenly fidgets. "...A--Ah--Anna!" He yelps a bit, then he brightens to a smile. His eyes glance over at her his posture tensing slightly. It soon ends, however, when she shows that she is packed for the trip. "Ahahhaha.." He rubs the back of his head, "It looks like you're ready for the trip, and..." That is interrupted when Lily comes strolling in, looking lively as ever. "Oooi! Lily!" The boy waves a hand her way, then he squints at the sight of something that is out of place for her. "Buh? Taking up the sword, Lily?" That is pretty new for the young girl. "Well, Violet and I are actually planning to travel. If you want to join, better hurry up!" The boy beams. 'Leaving without me?' Quickly turning his head to the voice, Reize's eyes iden as the familiar figure appears. "Ooooi! Ivo!" With jubilee, the boy waves his hand wildly at Ivo with a renewed bright smile. "Where were you---..." It is when Anna, or rather, Violet being referred to as 'Princess' that Reize winces a bit. He thought she was trying to hide that? He looks back at her and thn Ivo. He squints. The subject of the device is brought up, "Oh! Well, we thought we saw a Shard, but... it turned out that it pinged to a giant bird. One of its minions nearly kidnapped me until Lily, Violet, and the others saved me!" Reize squints, "Where have you been?" 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Violet blinks at Reize first when he stumbles over her name. Her actual name. And because he yelps with surprise that she becomes self-conscious, at least a little bit. Him rubbing the back of his neck doesn't help either... Whatever this weird thing that was going on is suddenly interrupted as first Lily enters, then Ivo as he practically saunters in. The greeting was as expected from him but when he calls her 'princess' Violet tenses visibly. "Who are you calling 'princess'?" she murmurs with some flatness in her voice.

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' "With Shiki!" Lily answers. "We got held up by Reapers and mean people..." Much of the conversation seems to be going over Lily's head, but the girl in white robes glances about with considerable confusion at all the talkers. "Ivo! IVO!" With a gasp Lily's whole body shudders. "Oh... oh, that's right. I have something important to tell everyone. Priel abandoned all of us and is with those people who are after Shiki now!!" She waves her arms as if hoping for people to listen. Pleading for them to listen! "--uh?" Only to suddenly blink at Reize. "Leaving? But... huh?"

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' Ironically, when Ivo first called Violet 'Princess' the day the two met in the garden, it was meant as a nickname; that she confessed it to be fact perhaps was testament to his intuition. If he notices Violet's heightened tension, though, he doesn't show it, unflappable as usual. "Why, Reize, of course," he responds to her question, before grinning at the boy. "Sounds like we both went on some wild goose chases. I got held up on an island packed full of Heartless I had to dispense with. Sorry I was out of touch; my phone fell in the ocean." All of this is technically true. "If you're going on a journey, why don't I tag along? You kids will need a chaperone," says Ivo, who is like three or four years older than some of you, making him practically a grandfather by JRPG standards. "My curiosity needs sating." And four is a good number for an adventuring party. Ivo glances over at Lily's news. He doesn't exactly seem-- surprised, at all. But his lips quirk downward, notable precisely because he seems to try to suppress it. "That's what happens when I'm not around to rein her in," he murmurs to no one in particular. "Don't worry. If she's after Shiki now, then we'll see her again, right?" He doesn't sound too troubled. Poor Shiki. "We'll find out what Priel's after then."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' The tension in the air is perhaps unclear at this time. However, that is thankfully interrupted with Lily's arrival, who was rather upbeat. However, it is when she answers about Shiki that Reize blinks. "Eh?" And then, Lily has something important to tell them. Priel has betrayed them. ... ... His antenna hair flops low and the boy hangs his head with a sigh. "...And I was beginnig to trust her, too." He mutters to himself. Then, he looks at Lily, "Yes, we're going to find the missing shards. There are more shards to find and we will not find them sticking around here!" Then, Reize grunts at Ivo with a twitch of an eyebrow, "Ah hahaha.... Sure, we could always use your expertise. Besides, you can operate the Shard Seeker better than I can." 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Maybe it was because of the fact that Violet only met Priel once, but she wasn't to hurt emotionally when Lily explained that Priel had left and betrayed them. Lily and Reize both were closer to her than Violet was, even Ivo appeared a bit disappointed. Her soft lips part with a small breath. "The only thing we can do now is move forward." And hope that Priel wasn't privy to any sensitive information about the Shard Seekers.

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' "No, Ivo. I mean it! She... went with the Reapers. Made a deal with that fire hair Hades person with the creepy teeth." Wait, when did Lily comprehend the idea of a contract? "She's... I don't even know if you can undo that. She has the wings, leading Noise, everything! And she... attacked all of us..." She qucily moves to Reize's side, one hand on her new weapon's hilt, the other squeezing his arm for comfort. His, or hers, it's hard to say. "Violet, you're coming too?"

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' "She already had a tail, didn't she?" Ivo's slight smile is back, and his calm voice remains unwavering in the face of Lily's assertions. Though his stance is casual, his tone is reasonable; he doesn't sound dismissive, just unworried. "Wings aren't so out of place. Don't fret. If she attacks you again--" His smile quirks up at the corner. "--I'll just beat her, okay?" If Ivo is having any deeper thoughts about Priel's betrayal, he isn't hinting at them. Having returned to headquarters at last, perhaps he's simply not in the mood for any drama. At least, not of this particular brand. "Speaking of expertise," he remarks, strolling over to Reize, "have you been broadening your horizons in the meantime?" Grinning, he places a hand on the boy's shoulder. "You've been with all these girls unsupervised for so long that I wouldn't be surprised. No need to be shy, right?" Ivo's tone is blithe, but his eyes are twinkling. "Seriously, who've you gotten the furthest with?"

:'''[[Shiki Misaki]] has posed:''' Shiki Misaki was in the market, buyin' some stuff, since she's been in Daguerreo for quite a while and she took all her stuff with her and now she ran out of it so she needed to buy some more stuff! Girly stuff. And Shiki stuff. You know how it is. And now Ivo's back! And Reize! And everything is awkward now. "Oooooooh hi." ._.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' So, there are more Reapers and Priel is amongst them. How annoying. Reize mutters a bit, rubbing his forehead for a moment. It is when Lily arrives at his side that he acks. He looks back at Lily when she squeezes his other arm, "Ahh...!" He laughs a bit, "Well, it looks like Violet will be coming with us, yeah." Ivo's dismissive nature earns a frown from the boy, then he lifts his shoulders with a shrug. "...I suppose you so." His antenna hair flops from one side as he gives an incredelous look at Ivo. "We'll deal with it as we go!" Meanwhile, Reize loks at Ivo when the older man places a hand over at his shoulder. Broadening his horizons?! Unsupervised?! ...His antenna hair stands up as his cheeks turn red. "Ack! Wait, Ivo..." His eyes shift between Lily and then Violet. His head turns from left to right and back again. Cheeks puff and he glares at Ivo as his antenna hair points directly at the older man, "Oooii! That is not a topic of interest! Adventure is and.." And Shiki returns. Without skipping a beat, Reize remains bright as can be, "We will be traveling onward to find the remaining shards!" 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Between Lily's hugging and Ivo's suggestive inquires it was difficult not to do anything. Her hands tighten on the straps of her knapsack for but a moment before Shiki Misaki appears, giving some amount of relief. A distraction. Exactly what they need right now. The long length of her pale blonde tail sways slightly as Violet glances over her shoulder at the new arrival, lowering her chin with a small nod towards her before returning her attention to Reize and the attached Lily. "We should start before it gets any later in the day. It would not do to get outside of the city walls only to need to build camp for the night."

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' "Someone has to!" Lily agrees with Ivo. "But... she's strong. Really strong. She beat back all three of us... Shiki, Lenn, and I..." Lily quite suddenly shudders and draws closer to Reize, nibbling on her lower lip as the memories of that awful pain return. She's never quite been hurt SO BADLY all at one moment... "I... just got baaaaack..." Is her only complaint to what Violet brings up.

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' Again, Ivo's tone is calm in a manner not dismissive but reassuring, but he does grow quieter at Lily's words. "I'm sorry she hurt you, Lily," he says. "It's my responsibility for inviting her among us and asking you all to trust her--" The moment he made that wish flashes back to him. "--and if I had been here, I might have been able to do something to stop her." Too bad he had /such good reasons/ for being gone. "But don't you worry about me and Priel's power." Ivo's slight smile has returned, and his eyes are warm again. "I know her weak point." This is true. "Milady is right," he then says, presumably referring to Violet -- in these moments, it's hard to know whether he's messing with someone -- as he turns back to Reize, after flashing a smile and nodding in greeting at Shiki (she seems exhausted). "I'm back, but if we can't have a party, let's form a party." His hand is still on the boy's shoulder. "The Shard Seeker device clearly remains in need of serious testing, as does our fearless leader's cootie tolerance." He leans in toward Reize conspiratorally, but absurdly doesn't bother to lower his voice, meaning that Lily, Violet, and Shiki can hear him just fine anyway. "No, really, which one's your favorite? It's Leida, isn't it? She's so charming. Oh, no, I get it. It's Lenn, huh? Yeah, I understand. The others don't really-- well, you know."

:'''[[Shiki Misaki]] has posed:''' Shiki Misaki just sort of stands and listens and blinks a bit. Ivo's here, yes, but romance problems are the least of her concerns given that this is the first time she's seen Reize in weeks and the conversation about Priel's betrayal seems to have started without her. Also, there's someone else here she doesn't recognise, so she's going to have to make this brief, much as she doesn't want to under the circumstances. So she walks up and gives- in order- Reize, Lily, and then Reize and Lily a brief but meaningful hug, after which she sits down on a chair. "/Hello/, Ivo," she says rather distastefully. "Hello..." she searches for Violet's name, but comes up blank. "Hello, I'm Shiki Misaki. I don't think I've met you before."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Grunt. Reize grunts at Violet when she brings up about camping, or rather, not wanting to camp. The young boy puffs his cheeks and he retort, "Nonsense! It is perfectly acceptable to camp out in the middle of nowhere where the monsters dwell in the midst of traveling!" "We have places to see, shards to find, and..." He starts unrolling his map. "With my trusty map, we will find a spot in no time!" And the subject falls back onto Priel once more. Grumble. He was having a good day, too. However, Ivo brings up an important tactic. A torch light appears over Reize's head. "Priel's weak point!" There is a look of determination in his eyes. In fact, one can see the flames light up. "If we strike Priel's weak point, she will be defeated for sure!" Nevermind that Priel would make his life hell. However, traitors deserve having their weaknesses used against them! "Finally, we're back to the talks of a party! We will leave soon and start the---" The words are interrupted when Shiki hug him. Buh? The boy offers her a faint smile, placing his arm around her to hug her. It looks like Shiki has been through a lot. Nevertheless, Reize says, "Okay, guys! We will travel and...." And Ivo switches topics once more. Twitch. Twitch. With the input on Leida and then Lenn, Reize finally puffs his cheeks with an annoyed look. "Ooi, Ivo, Violet's aren't ----" ... "...Wait." 

:'''[[Shiki Misaki]] has posed:''' Shiki Misaki says, "/Travel/. Yes. Let's go, travel and adventures! Hoo-ah. I like this plan. Let's go on an adventure and leave our cares behind. I can get behind this!"

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Violet glances at Reize with a mildly flat look. "I do not mind camping. I just do not want to waste most of the day getting outside the city only to have to stop and camp. I rather we have a good bit of distance travel before having to need to set up camp but trekking through the dark is foolish. I can only imagine what would be out there, not to mention the possibility of becoming lost. Seriously lost." Violet quietly watches as Shiki hugs the others, then takes a seat on one of the chairs. A small smile tugs at her lips as she dips her chin to the other girl. "Call me Violet, please. It is a pleasure to meet you. I wish it was under better circumstances." Her crystal blue eyes blink as she glances back at where Ivo was whispering loudly to Reize, only to frown. "I am not what?"

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' Ami walks inside suddenly without any preamble, opening the door and stepping right on in. She doesn't say hello or even wave. Instead she just hunches up her shoulders, distinctly takes the effort to look away from ANYONE and props open one of the larger windows inside the building. She then takes a small tape measurerer and gets the measurements of the windowspace before nodding to herself and walking to the girls dorm without a word. About five seconds after that, a Dennou leaps through the window, spinning around like a javelin and lands in a handstand. A pause of movement allows one to infer it's Umi before she handsprings back into a standing position, jogging forward towards Ivo and attempting to give him an ATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMIC HEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADBUUUUUUUUUUUUTT for no readily apparent reason. Because she only shouts her reason after performing the atomic headbutt. "A TRUE MEETING OF THE MINDS! This one has come to speak with her fists or more accurately her face, and through the rival's challenge we will grow to learn and understand each other!" She punches the air a few times, kicks the air a few more times, and then says, "Absorb my feelings through your skull!" Ami comes back down, hugging Mr. Mew in her arms. She has apparently outfitted Mr. Mew with a small knitted pink sweater. "..."

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' After returning Shiki's hug, Lily hops in place a few times and waves her free hand, making her new weapon rattle a little in its scabbard. "We're really leaving again so soon?" Apparently the topic Ivo's bringing up is going RIGHT over her head, but she does give Reize a confused look as if not sure what's wrong with him... And murmurs, "Huh?"

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' Ivo is glad to see that Shiki is making an effort to get her spirits up, and so her sharp and hugless greeting is responded to with an amused grin, his eyebrows raising slightly, as if to say, 'Come on, you love me.' Can you blame him for being even more irrepressible than usual? Reize's good cheer and characteristic burning determination is helping, and as usual Ivo is reciprocating by enabling the boy -- "That's the spirit, chief!" -- but most of all, he just got back. And he strikes gold. When Reize trails off, Ivo has to bite his lower lip, shoulders trembling slightly before he can safely contain himself. But while his expression is composed, his eyes are practically shining with mirth. "So you /have/ been paying attention," the knight-oh-so-errant remarks, just a little too casually. "I always took you for an apt student." His eyes flicker to the two Legion-chans as they wander in, as is their wont, but he can't stop now, he's on a roll. "Yet really, Reize, were those all Lenn were to you? Can you cast her aside now that you've found a new set of--" BOOM "Are... your feelings... pain?" This is all he can managed as, poleaxed by Umi's headbutt, Ivo stares dazedly into the distance. "If so, I'm readinng them loud and clear. If not, perhaps you could learn to speak with your face more gently. Reize can teach you all about that." He's still at it, even as he grimaces, raising a hand to gingerly touch his brow, squinting as the headache passes. "Ahh, I'm seeing double. ...No, right, there /are/ two of you."

:'''[[Shiki Misaki]] has posed:''' Shiki Misaki rubs her forehead, and rolls her eyes at Ivo. "Hello, Violet. As you can see, things go a mile a minute around here when these two are in the room together. You know Reize? I met him and we spent a few weeks travelling, camping, adventuring too. That's how we got to know each other. It was really fun! I mean, aside from that time slave traders nabbed us... but still!" Don't you just love it when you can recount adventures like that? Mr. Mew doesn't do a single thing. He's enjoying this juuuuust fine.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Violet's comment earns a quick, "Nothing! Nothing!" from the boy. He is already sweating bullets. The boy is definitely trying to find a new topic to get away from the current one. Adventure, yes. God, let's adventure. "Good thinking, Shiki!" He frowns at Lily, "Of course we are! We can't stick around in one area for too long." Then, he considers, "Well, you guys can, but I am making my leave." Reize wants to adventure and he is impatient. And Ivo brings up the topic regarding Lenn and Violet once more. ....Until he is headbutted. Reize winces at the impact of Ivo's headbutt, then he rubs the forehead. "Uhh...." He mutters to himself, "I'm hungry...." There is thankfully a fruit tray nearby. Or at least, should be. The boy had been wanting an apple, or some type of melon. His hand reaches out to the fruit tray... ...Only to move past it. "Are you okay, Ivo?" Pause. "...I think he is." --Instead, he ends up accidently grabbing something. Or someone. Poor Violet. Squish. "Now, I can get a tasty-...." ... "...Errr.." Reize has a wide-eyed look upon realization.

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' "Woah... it worked!" Umi grins suddenly. "I will have to headbutt more often, for communiucative purposes!" Ami continues silently hugging Mr. Mew who, as is only natural, gets more action than anyone else in the room. She pats his head fondly. She doesn't especially seem troubled by Reize grabbing Violet's melons. Melon theft is a well known issue in the Shard Seekers. "Thank you, Ivo, our brother in arms. The Network clarifies that brother is metaphorical in this instnace and not an actual symbol of blood or adoptive relations." Umi doesn't seem troubled by her own headbutt. Maybe she rams her head into things a lot. She looks towards Reize. "Would you like to talk too?" She braces herself.

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' Mile a minute is okay. Lily lets go of Reize and hops away when he goes reaching for something... and then ends up blinking up a storm at the apparent accident. She makes a very odd face, as if not entirely SURE what just happened there. IN fact, she turns that confused look to Shiki a moment later!

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Violet blinks blankly at the Ami first as the girl walks in, begins measuring the window, then walks out. Just before Umi seems to randomly leap through the opened window and lands in a handstand. Just what is going on around here anyways? The young girl frowns to herself as she glances to the stomped Ivo, confused, before her attention is pulled towards Shiki. "I... suppose that is something similar to how I met him. I just came through the portal from my world without realizing it and... well, literally ran into Reize." Not her most proudest of moments. Violet blinks her powder blue eyes up at Reize, who was denying something so utterly and completely that she had to wonder what was going on. Her lips part with a small exhaled breath, attention drawn to the dazed Ivo on the floor as Reize moves around her for the fruit tray. At least, that's what she thought was supposed to happen. The hand grabs her front unexpectedly and for a moment the girl just blinks in blank surprise. While everyone stares. A swift and deep flush rises in her skin equal to that of any cherry as she dips her head down to hide her face behind her bangs, and several moments pass before she leans forward to whisper something into Reize's ear. And just like that she removes his hand. Still blushing fiercely, but much less hitting than one would expect.

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' "Wait, what do you mean, 'it worked'?" Her feelings /were/ pain!? Ivo is still cradling his head when Reize, as it were, makes his move, which makes it easy for the erstwhile provocateur to conveniently slide that hand over his face to muffle his mouth, /forcing/ himself not to laugh. "See, Reize, you've got to trust your instincts," he says between gasps for breath and a gap in his fingers. "Your body knows what your mind is yet ignorant of." For now, at least. "Why do you need to clarify?" he offers to Umi when he finally lowers his hand. Maybe he's still a little dazed, and asking random questions, but at this point it doesn't look like Reize is going to need any further help getting into trouble. "Does the Network have any non-metaphorical brothers? You're all sisters, right? In a manner of speaking." He pauses, then crosses his arms and cups his chin, amiable smile broadening into a grin again. "Say, I know I've never asked before, but I don't suppose any of your sisters are a little... older... looking?" Give it a rest, Ivo, you had enough of that in Hawaii. "Hm?" Oh, now everyone's /whispering/. "I can hear you!" He can't.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' When Umi asks the boy if he wanted to talk as well, the young adventurer tenses when the girl braces herself. "W---that--that won't be necessary, Umi! Really!" Inwardly, Reize wished Emi was around. She would be a bit more level-headed! Emi is unlikely to headbutt him either! Goodness! And when Violet whispers into his ear, he gives her a sheepish smile with a sweatdrop at the back of his head. "Ahahahha... sorry, Violet. That.. that was an accident." Ivo's comment gets a glare from the boy, who mutters. "Ooi! My instinct says ADVENTURE! We are to go on an adventure!"

:'''[[Shiki Misaki]] has posed:''' "I hope that doesn't mean you're engaged to her now, too, Reize," Shiki says, because hey, Ivo's not the only one who can tease. "In any case! If we're going on an adventure, did Lily or Lenn tell you the reason we all shipped off in the first place? Ooh, did they show you the weapons the Legendary Smith made for us? I put mine back in my room! I was just in the market looking for something I could use to carry it around more easily with! Trust me, it'll be a big help if we're going out on the road..."

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' The fierce flush remains in her cheeks as Violet manages to raise her eyes, glancing at the others only to blink at Shiki's words. "'Too'?" she asks, confused. A small frown knits at her delicate brow as she looks from Shiki to Reize, searching his face for an answer that wasn't there. Finally she presses her lips as she glances away. "No, nothing of a sort. I would never force someone into marriage like that. It is manipulative."

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' Umi is the one Dennou with a low enough INT stat that she actually somehow doesn't know everything the other Dennous know which should be fundamentally impossible. It's probably because she is also probably the most independent of Dennous. "Um?" She says. "No, we don't have any brothers. We're all girls. And we're all the same apparent age." She almost goes into how old they actually are but Ami holds up an index finger in a 'ssh-ing' gesture. It's already weird enough for them. "Ahh--but yes! No older looking sisters. They would have to clone another one, though THe Network doesn't think anybody has that level of technology, at least none that we frequent...uh...frequently?" She frowns faintly. "And there's other...stuff..." Pause. "...We'll be older eventually! With time, our bodies age! Man, I hope I make it to 40 so I can have an over the hill party, The Network thinks that would be hilarious. Ha ha ha novelty old people gifts!" Ami hugs Mr. Mew a little more tightly. "So! This one wants to go on adventure too! Lets do it!"

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' Now what? Lily's confusion's just growing, it shows when Shiki whispers to her. Her shoulders bunch up in a shrug, another newly acquired mannerism... "... Adventure, as always! But this time I'm packing more clothes. They keep getting ruined. EVERY TIME." She finally says. Apparently it's ALL she has to say, keeping this simple.

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' With time? We don't have any time! It's adventure time! "I figured as much," Ivo murmurs, shrugging and shaking his head with mostly-feigned resignation. "Metaphorical brother it is." Could be worse. Though that headbutt was pretty bad. The exchange between Shiki and Violet forces Ivo to suppress another grin. So Reize hasn't said anything to Violet about-- well, this sould be fun. "Reize is right," he interjects clearly. "It's time for action. Why don't you guys go on ahead? I need to replace my phone. I'll get in contact with you all and meet up on the road later. Besdies--" He inclines his head toward the battered cloak on his arm. "--I've got to get changed, at least." And with that, Ivo is going to begin sauntering off to the good old boys' dorm, an amused smile on his face -- though hopefully not so swiftly that he misses the result of Reize's rolling a 1.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Uhh..." Reize lifts his finger, wondering how to explain the situation. Instead, Reize decides, "Adventure!" He grunts, "We shall be leaving and nothing shall stop me from leaving!" Just as quickly, the door of the garden open as a small beagle comes running into the lobby. It quickly starts bowling the boy over off of his feet. "Acccckk!" As the boy slips and falls, the padding that he falls on is arced to where the boy starts rolling into the garden. "Gaaahh!" Oh, slick ground. WHAM! Reize's current condition: x_x

:'''[[Shiki Misaki]] has posed:''' "...I'll show you later," Skiki decides. And so she goes to put her newly acquired market stuff in bags and so forth! Because we're going on an adventure! Hopefully this one will work out better than the last one!

}}
:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' It has been a couple of weeks since the Shard Seekers departed Fluorgis to go on a journey. In particular, Reize had traveled with Lily and Violet on the journey through the various continents. The exploration had brought many forms of danger and excitement, but for some of the others, they wanted to visit the place that they called home. Violet and Lily are likely handling some shopping. Maybe. However, Reize returning into the Headquarters to do some restocking. So here he is, looking around the lobby. It is the same as he left it. At least, initially. 

:'''[[Will Sherman]] has posed:''' Will is in the lobby, just RIGHT THERE, sitting on the counter. He has a sammich in one hand...probably from your food stores. He is eating it, without any shame as Reize pops in. "Sup?" He says, swollowing the most recent bite. He gives him a stare, and then proceeds to eat again. "By the way, helped keep your home safe. You either have the best or worst luck when it comes to trouble." he says, "Either outright avoid it when it comes looking for ya, or run head first into stuff that isn't looking for you." "Anyway, where were you anyway? I was starting to think I'd run out of food before you dropped by."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' As soon as Reize comes in... ... Will is eating his food. Again. Reize hangs his head, comical tears rolling along his eyes as he greets. "Ooi... Will." By the tone, it is pretty dry. However, he mentions about keeping Fluorgis safe. "Eh?!" He rubs the back of his head, "Something happened to it?!" There is a frown, "...What a time to be away from Fluorgis." A sigh is given, then he shakes his head. It is saddening. Regarding his question, however... "A few of the Shard Seekers and I went out to do some exploration. A couple of them wanted to make sure that I did not go alone, so they traveled with me. We traveled through various contintents and we even used the Shard Seeker." He runs his hand over the back of his head. "... When we attempted to use it, we did not find a shard." His antenna hair flops, "...We ran into a monster that seemed to resonate with the device." His hands lift up, "It was biiiiiiggg! It had a green crystal on its chest. The bird flew off when we found it!" A hand runs along his chin, "But.. it did drop down boulders at us from the top." 

:'''[[Will Sherman]] has posed:''' Will finishes his sammich. "The Dark Knight." Will says grimly, "Worse then that, the master of the thing was revealed to be some Emperor of Palawhatever." Will comments, shrugging his shoulders. "He came to burn this place to the ground, and instead Maira did...something with the light, taking advantage of something I did with the darkness that was weakened thanks to a lucky shot.." Those who know Will long enough know that luck sometimes has a way of...happening around him. "The Dark Knight is free, but well...Palawhatever seems pretty okay with manipulating people with darkness and crap." Will shrugs, "Man, did you guys seriously use that thing? I mean, come on.../IVO/ built that thing. It was probably only luck that it worked once." Will shakes his head, "Well, you're alright, so that's good." Will has a leasury attitude about this. "Mind if I ask you a question?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Oh. The Dark Knight? Reize had heard some tales regarding the individual who went around, performing atrocities. The eyebrows hardened, however, it is when Will mentions about the Emperor that the eyes widen. ...Back then.. ... Back then. Reize sweats bullets, recalling his time at Palamecia when he was trapped within the are after being enveloped in a dark portal thanks to Leida. Twitch. Twitch. Nevertheless, Reize calms down, offering a faint smile. "...Thank you, both of you." Regarding the Shard Seeker, Reize frowns at Will. "Ooi! Ivo is a capable inventor! He is good with technology!" He rubs the back of his head, "I don't think many of us are good with that sort of stuff besides him and Shiki." He lifts a finger, "I attempted to press all of the buttons on the computer at some crash site, but... I think I destroyed everything at the facility." However, a question is brought his way, "Hrm? Sure, what's up?" 

:'''[[Will Sherman]] has posed:''' "How serious are you?" Will says, taking a serious tone. "It's great and all you wana help out, but how serious are you?" Will says, surprisingly even with Reize. "It's not going to get easier. We've just gotten to the point we're starting to find out what we're up against, with getting shards and restoring worlds. These same people are hurting anyone that even talks to some of us just to try and get at us. Garland already threatened this with Avira and Mercade." Will explains. "This isn't a game anymore, the stakes are becoming too high. We found out in Manhattan what the price of failure was...and only through luck and guile that we all managed to restore Manhattan..." he continues, "People are going to get hurt, people might even...die, or worse, lose their hearts. People who's only crime is that they sold you a sandwich." Will continues, "Are you ready for that? That kinda heavy burden? And don't gimme that crap about saving everyone. No man, NO man is a mountain. You have to rest, you have to sleep, eat, and so forth. You can't be everywhere at once...nor can your allies. You're gona make mistakes, because you're only human, like the rest of us." "It's not too late for you to stop. Nobody here will blame you."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' ... "Eh?" The face twists to a more confused look. However, his posture is tensing up. Despite the confusion on the boy's face, he knows where Will is going to get at with the qustion. Reize lowers his head a bit, considering Will's warning and the stakes that have been laid out. Reize lifts his head up towards Will. "...You know, I will likely never see my world anymore." He considers, "Then again, I don't even know what my world is like outside of the little village that I've been living in all my life." His eyes narrow, "...The worst thing was that I was not around when my world was taken. I was ...in some plane. It was a strange one." "...There are some things unresolved that I want to help resolve.." Prince Landon, for one. Reize's eyebrows furrow, "...I learned that this was not a game when Manhattan happened, when Fluorgis was in danger, when my friends that I made here were missing." He lifts his head up. "... I already have the responsibility of keeping a hold of something that I still know so little about." This time, Reize removes the pendant from his neck, holding it before Will. "...My father always told me to keep my word. As ridiculous as people like to say that my Knight's Vows are, they are my words that I plan to keep." He shuts his eyes. "I won't abandon people... I won't let anymore people lose their worlds." He lowers his head, "...I will help those in need. That is partly why I wanted to be an adventurer and a knight like my father." 

:'''[[Will Sherman]] has posed:''' "Lofty goals." Will says, leaning back on his seat. "You can't really stop more worlds from going under either..." he says, looking up. "How many words out there aren't even connected to the World of Ruin yet? How many people show up in Traverse town every day? Sure, there are many worlds ground in the world of Ruin and Phantasia..." he says, shruging, "And does Reize Seatlan want to be the Knight for these people, or is he living a dream of following in his father's footsteps because he feels guilty about not being there for his home?" Will pushes the buttons...one does not grow if not challenged. Will looks at the Pendant, "And it is not fair for you to force your responsibility on him." He says, NOT to Reize. "The question is...can you live with the fact that SOMEONE will get hurt because of your actions. No matter how good intentioned that they might be...there are many things you can't be aware of until it is too late...can you live with yourself if you fail?" He asks. "And don't say that you can't. YOu can, everyone can. Mistakes are to humans as much as anything else." "Don't fall back on 'duty' or 'what my father was'. Answer from here." Will points at the chest, specifically Reize's heart. "Don't just give me whatever answer you have prepared in your head either. THINK about it. No knight's rules, or borrowed phrases...what does Reize say?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize Seatlan says, "...No. I can't save everyone. I know that." The eyes look downcast, but he looks over towards Will. "...I want to be an adventurer." The boy states, "...I never asked or wanted to be the leader of the Shard Seekers. ...I never thought that this clan would become big, or to be an actual clan." He offers a rueful smile, "...I almost left the Shard Seekers to do what I wanted to do." He lifts his gaze at the window, "... I always admired my father. He was a man who traveled the world and seen many things that I dreamed of seeing. I always tried to emulate him. However, I wanted to experience it all myself and even surpass my father." He brings the pendant around his neck, "My arrival here... has given me an opportunity to do great things. I don't care about being a normal kid, nor do I care about living in a home. Just like my father did, I want to travel the world to see things for myself, live my own adventure." Then, the face becomes determined, "And help those along the way. My dream was not due to guilt. It was because it was what I dreamed of when I first heard my father's journies. It inspired me." "...I'll live, we have made mistakes." He frowns, "...I almost made the big mistake of turning my back on everyone before Emi interjected." He looks back at Will. "..But... I don't plan to give up." He narrows his eyes, "I am an adventurer, but I will also fight for those who can't fight for themselves." Maybe along the way, he'll find what he's looking for as well. "

:'''[[Will Sherman]] has posed:''' Will pauses and listens. And then he shrugs, "Well, if that's your answer.." Will says relaxed, "Then the time for seriousness is over." The Hobo lad says, with a small grin, and jumps up from his vantage point. "Because I hate being serious, that's Mercade's job. Serious as a heartattack, that man." he waves a hand. "Well, if you're so determined, maybe you should perhaps educate yourself on just what you're up against." he offers, but to what? Well, maybe that is for Reize to answer for himself. "Anyway, that was it. I'm fed and you got the hobowisdom, for now."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Blink. "Eh?" With the seriousness dispelled, Reize looks rather confused at Will. "Errr..?" He watches the hobo jump from his spot, then he regards his hatred of being serious. The young boy runs his hand over to the back of his head. "I suppose he is..." Reize admits regarding Mercade. He reminds him of educating himself, Reize asks, "What do you know about the Dark Knight? I only know a bit about Garland." He furrows his eyebrows, "... However, I only kno a bit." There is a faint smile, realizing that Will did impart his wisdom for Reize to mull over. "Thank you, Will." 

:'''[[Will Sherman]] has posed:''' Will shrugs, "We don't know anything about Garland either...but he took Isaac's arm recently.." he says, shaking his head. "The Dark Knight is apparently a man who opposed the will of the Emperor and was brainwashed...he's free, for now, but darkness plagues him." Will says, "That's all I know, I haven't had a chance to talk to the Dark Knight more indepth yet...and what I do know...well, it is personal. I'd rather not say anything without talking to him first." "Eh, don't thank me, I'm just doin' what is needed. Poking and proding at people's choices..."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' The young boy gives a slow nod towrds Will. "...I learned a bit from someone who worked with him, but..." Even then, there is a lot of mystery to Garland. Reize's eyes furrow, looking rather serious. But it is dispelled once the Dark Knight is brought back. "Eh...?! So, he is freed for now." He runs a hand to the back of his head. "Hopefully he can carry on forward..." A faint smile, "...I know one person who has been making progress on her path." He blinks, the he sighs, "Yeah.." He walks over towards the fridge. ...Empty. Reize hangs his head, "...You ate /everything/." 

:'''[[Will Sherman]] has posed:''' "YOINK!" Will says, leaving a empty silloutte behind. A smoke trail can be seen as Will makes for the nearest portal back towards Manhattan.

|Cast of Characters=Reize Seatlan, Violet
|pretty=yes
}}
:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' It's night time. The moon is high in the sky, radiating a bright light to those on the ground. The young night gives off a beacon for those who like to relax. The blanket of darkness encompasses the grassy plains. Trees and shrubs dot the landscape. There is a camp site that has been made with a campfire in the middle. Lily is likely sleeping inside the tent. The young boy is out at the campfire, holding a stick. While the marshmellow roasts in the fire, Reize is gazing at the stars.

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' It had been an hour or so since the others had gone to bed in their own tents, leaving Annalise and Reize to stay up, watching the stars of unfamiliar constellations. Sitting on a fallen tree close to where the boy sits, Anna leans back, hands folded in her lap as she looks upwards at the midnight blue sky. The moment she does break her gaze long enough to glance at what Reize might be doing, she stares at the white piece of fluff that he has speared and roasting over the fire. "May I ask, what is that?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' The roasting flames crackle along the air. While the roaring flames scorch th air, they coat the white marshmellow with a bit of black ash. It become hot and coated with the darkness. Steam eminates from the marshmellow. After a moment, Rize lifts his head up towards Annalise, giving her a lazy smile. "It's a marshmellow. I picked some up at Manhattan some time ago." He then brings the roasted pastry over her way. "Feel free to try it! Be careful, it's hot!" 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Annalise blinks her crystal blue eyes at it for a brief moment before frowning curiously while the outside became charred black. Then he pulls the end of his stick from above the fire to hold it out for her, and she pauses briefly until reaching out to gently pull it off. And it certainly was hot! Juggling it between her hands like a hot potato, Anna giggles as she lifts it to take a tentative bite from the black outside. Sweetness fills her mouth, and white marshmallow goo strings in such a way that she couldn't help but giggle again.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Watching Anna struggle with the marshmellow is rather amusing. Reize warned her not to take it too much quite yet. The boy tilts his head over, offering a smile. "Well, I told you!" He gives a mirthful smile, but then he watches her take a tentative bite. After she has the gooey marshmellow stuck to her mouth, Reize brightens and then he pulls himself up. "Heh, a shame Lily is asleep, she'd love these." The boy brings his hands over his shoulder. "We should be returning to Fluorgis soon to restock. I am hoping that the other Shard Seekers are managing without us." 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Annalise continues to chuckle softly, using her fingers to wipe off the sticky white residue from her lips before licking off her fingers of the melted marshmallow. Her pale blue eyes look up at Reize and after she finishes the last of the marshmallow, she licks at her lips. "I am sure they are. They have Ivo after all." her eyes sparkle with some mirth. A moment or so of quiet envelops them as Anna looks back to the fire, thoughtful. "Reize... could I ask, what is she to you? Lily."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Hrm. The mention of everyone havng Ivo around makes the boy laugh, "I am sure that the others are doing great with Ivo around! He is the perfect guide!" The serenity that the two are able to share is rather nice. It is comforting, seeing her able to enjoy the confection. Within the campfire, the two are able to bond together. However, Anna brings up something important. What is Lily to him? The boy's eyes lift up, "...It is hard to describe. But, I will try to explain it." He looks over towards the pendant around his neck. "...Ever get the feeling that there is someone connected with you? It's a bond that is shared." The young traveler's gaze lifts up towards the sky, "...I remember when I found her, I wanted to get her to safety from the monster." He glances back to Anna, "Of everyone that she met, she took to me the most. There have been times when..." A smile is given, "There is something with my pendant and her gem on her head. In a way, our paths have connected." Reize considers. Sure, Shiki and him are Partners, and Lenn is his fiancee. However, the bond with Lily feels the closest for some reason. 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Annalise watches him quietly, without interruption. When he moves to look at the pendant dangling from around his neck, her pale gaze flickers towards it for even longer. When she does pulls her her eyes away, she looks to the fire in the pit as the flames dance to an unheard rhythm. "Maybe. I am not sure." she admits softly. "I have never felt that kind of connection before, so, I am still trying to figure out if I feel that." Pressing her soft lips together, Anna looks down at her hands in her lap for another still moment. "I am a little envious I suppose. I wish I could have that kind of bond with another, without... hiding. Maybe I am just more fearful than I like to admit." she feels as if she was more talking to herself than anything, as her words just keep spilling from her lips. Exhaling a soft breath, Annalise closes her eyes as she reaches up behind her head, her deft fingers smoothly pulling the dark ribbon from the sharp contrast of pale blonde locks that appear as pure moonbeams as they gently cascade down her back.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "It's what I like about Lily and even admire about her sometimes!" The boy laughs, thinking it over. "She says how she feels, for good or bad. She is ignorant in the ways of how society works, but that works in her favor." He laughs, "She was the first to show me how she felt about me." The boy laughs sheepishly. There were other things, but for some reason, he felt more at ease with the young girl. "Honestly, don't feel trapped." He turns to face Anna, moving over to pat her on the shoulder. "I know you lost your world, and there are likely a lot reasons that you wish to keep your identity." He considers, "But... if you don't open yourself out more, many things will pass you by." He beams, "Seize the moment!" The boy pumps a fist in the air.

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Brushing her fingers through her pale locks, Anna opens her eyes once more to look quietly into the fire. As if it could give her the answers she's looking for. Part of her tenses uncomfortably while she listens despite him laughing. "Seize the moment..." she repeats his words, though with far less enthusiasm. "The thing is... even though I want that kind of connection, I hope that the other person wants it as well. Not because I forced him into it by... suddenly exposing my feelings to him. I would never wish to put him in that kind of position..." Anna quietly bites at the inside of her bottom lip. "Have you ever done that before? Confessed your feelings to a girl?..."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Squinting a bit, Reize turns to face Anna ith a grin. He rubs underneath his nose with a smile. "Perhaps, but who knows? If you don't someone else will. Sure, it's possible to move on, but who is to say that the practice won't cause you to miss other opportunities." Though, Reize is turning towards the pouch, already roasting another marshmellow. After all, to him, moving along to seize the goal is his motto. The role of an adventurer. As he is biting down on the marshmellow. 'Confessed your feelings to a girl?...' ....Ghngggnkk!!! Reize is choking. 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Annalise blinks her bright eyes up at Reize with surprise when he begins choking, concern flickering through her face as she tenses. "Are... are you okay?" she asks. When she does finally realize just what kind of reaction he had to her question, a gentle rosy blush rises in her cheeks. "I-I am sorry. I was a personal question. I did not mean to intrude. Really."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize beats against his chest, trying to help speed up the process of digesting his food or at least stop himself from choking. The fact that Violet is standing there, while blushing in the midst of him choking only serves to frustrate the boy! God. If he died here, it would be her fault! Annalise is the worst. help. ever. After several moments, Reize manages to cough up the marshmellow. He staggers around dizzily, "Buuhhhhh..." As for her question, Reize shrugs. "... I can't say that I actually confessed." He lifts his head to the sky, "...I care a lot about them. ... However." He looks up at the sky, "... I just want to be an adventurer." His eyes shut, "That has been the most important thing to me." He offers a smile, "Everyone insists on me traveling with them or not to travel alone, but I am the most free when I travel as an adventurer."

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' After several pauses, Anna does pull herself forward to kneel in front of him on her knees while he struggles with the marshmallow. Luckily he does manage to swallow it, to some relief, but its then that she realizes just how close she is to him. With a small breath she pulls away, sitting back on her legs on the ground while he talks. "I suppose, with time, things will change. What make you feel free will change as you do." Annalise says softly. "I wish I could be impulsive, but that... that would be selfish of me."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' After the moment of closeness, Reize coughs slightly, but he shakes his head when she goes back to keeping both legs on the ground. "... I guess." He lifts his shoulders with a shrug, "I am, however, also the leader of the Shard Seekers. I have some responsibility to keep the clan intact. As long as the clan is still needed, I will not leave them." He offers a smile. "However, I am pushing everyone to journey with me. Whether or not they wish to travel with me, it is their own choice from here on out." In other words, if they wish to continue to travel, then he will welcome them. However, that selfish part of them does not want them to get in his way. ...Even as the voice tells him to not travel alone, Reize hopes that they would allow him that happiness in adventuring. "Sometimes, we'll have to answer to our impulseness. Otherwise, it'll hurt us if we don't." 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' After a moment of hesitation, Annalise pushes herself to her feet. Pale blonde locks almost white in the light of the moon as apprehension colors her facial features. After another long moment, she lifts her crystal blue eyes up at him. "But it could hurt others if I do. And I do not want to lose what I already have because--" her words cut off. Color delicately touches her cheeks once more as she glances awkwardly to the ground. "Because I like you..." Annalise whispers. "And I can not help what I feel, and I do not want to ruin our friendship, and... I do not want to be just another girl that confesses their feelings to you. And just so many other things that it hurts inside of my chest." Her hands curl at her sides as she turns around and clutches her fingers against the heart of her chest, afraid to see his reaction after choking on a marshmallow. She may very well just have ruined the comfortable air she's always had around him until this point.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize looks Annalise over when she finally starts to take a stance. His eyes furrow when she starts looking at him. She has a very apprehensive nature about her. ...That had to no end annoyed him at times. Granted, that was because of the mysterious person vibe. "Nggghh..." The voice grows irritated at this point. It is when Annalise admits her feelings to the boy that the young adventurer fall silent. So, that is the situation. Reize muses thoughtfully, just.. taking it all in. His heart has been tugged by many people. Shiki, Lily, Lenn, Katyna and now, Annalise. Though, Reize's heart, he deosn't know. "Anna..." The boy moves over towards her... His hands reach over for her hand and then he oves to embrace her close to him. 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' It felt like an eternity, with her back towards him. The crackling of the fire the only sound to fill the silence. Then a hand touches hers and urges her to turn towards him, and after a pause Annalise lifts her pale blue eyes up to look at him. Not even a moment after his arms gently wrap around her with an embrace that she didn't expect. Biting at the inside of her lip, her hands touch at his sides but the Princess doesn't fully hug him in return. "I do not want your pity or sympathy..." Anna murmurs softly. "Nor did I ever wish to push you into the position that you felt obligated towards me in any way. All I ever wanted was... someone that would choose me willingly, regardless of my station." She exhales a small breath. "I should have just stayed quiet."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' As the gesture was not reciprocated, Reize slowly starts to pull away, frown tensing up as he considers the predictament that he is in. He starts moving towards the back of his head, offering Annalise a smile. "...Anna." The young man smiles, "Thank you for being honest with me. It's... one of the few times that you have been able to open up with me completely." He considers, "...I am not sure it would had been better for you to stay quiet." He puffs his cheeks, "What do you call the fact that you have been taken in with the Shard Seekers with open arms?" After a moment, he gives a faint smile, then he gazes at the moon. "I like you too, Anna." He furrows his eyebrows, thinking things over. "...I owe you all a decision, I suppose, at some point. I do hope, until then, you continue to stay with us." 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Anna feels him tense, and instantly in filled with regret. Him thanking her, however, wasn't expected and a small bit of nervous laughter escapes. "Reize, you know my true name, my identity, and I have shared with you pages of my life through our journal. You know much more about me than anyone else. I am not sure how much more open I can be." Her pale gaze looks up at him with a careful glance as he admits that he likes her as well, color brighter than anything before rising in her cheeks. "I-" What should she say to that? A breath escapes Annalise as she looks down at her hands, still touching lightly at his sides. "I only want you happy, Reize... that is all I ever wanted. Its why I kept it from you as long as I had."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "...That is true." Reize admits, coughing. He rubs the back of his head, then he leans over towards Violet. His eyes fall shut, taking in everything. Given that she is gazing down at her hands while touching his sides, Reize allows the air to fill wih silence on his end. Instead, he listens to her. She wanted him to be happy. In this moment, where her hand holds onto his side... Reize leans over towards the young princess. It is a slow enclosure, but the distance is closed as the two become closer. His lips tilt over, seeking to gently brush along her lips for a kiss. His hands find their way towards her hands around his waist.

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Annalise feels him move closer and her powder blue eyes are drawn upwards towards him, the warmth of his body radiating with how close he becomes as he leans towards her. The brush of his lips was light, barely even there as if they were hovering just on the surface, and it was a stunned moment before Anna closes her eyes and tilts her chin up just a bit further. Her first kiss. As his hands touch at her own at his sides, Anna pulls them away just enough to touch them, palms touching against his as they quietly kiss under the moon and starry sky.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Welcome to the Sabil Mountain Range. The great impassible rocky mountain spring from the north and south, rising towards the sky. It nearly blocks the sun, making it a giant to travel through. Several alpine trees cover the range at the lower elevations, coming to a stop at the peak. The group are starting off at the bottom of the mountain range. For the Shard Seekers, they are lead by none other than Reize Seatlan. Lily and Violet have likely been traveling with the boy for a couple of weeks. It is mostly these three that have been missing from Fluorgis for a while. At the bottom, the boy is waiting for arrivals, holding onto the Shard Seeker. The boy that is leading his group with the small, technological device that is used for finding the missing World Shards. "It's a shame that Ivo couldn't make it. He's been busy with a few important matters." The boy consders, lifting his head up to the sky before he surveys the heights of the mountain. "It looks like it'll be quite a travel, but this should be a shard! We'll find it!" Rumors may have flung around about a missing Shard being found, thanks to the fact that Reize had moved out to explore. 

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' Serah Farron is pretty much travelling with many... strangers. At least for her. But the Shard Seekers had posted up an ad for more help for an exploration, she thought she might give it a try. She has much to learn about this world after all, and every new place is an adventure of its own. As long as there's not too much danger... or heartless... or big monsters... or dark knights... Know what, better not think about all of the bad things she's already seen in her short time in this world. It'd be enough to lock yourself up in a closet, hugging your knees while singing 'Barney and friends' to keep yourself sane. At least, somewhat sane. But she knows about strength in numbers, so even if she can't do much she thought she'd tag along for the ride and help you. She's still honing her newly discovered magic skills, so might put them in practice... although she hopes not. She looks over to Reize "What are we looking for exactly?" She wonders, being careful of where she steps not to fall or trip, lots of ocks around here.

:'''[[Evja]] has posed:''' "World Shards." That comes softly spoken from the Vieran Judge, who was accompanying them today on a light-blue Chocobo of all things. It was actually the same Chocobo as before, but had managed to change colors. Dyed? Magic? Who knows. Well, Evja does, but that'd be a matter of asking. "Broken, scattered pieces of worlds that, if reassembled and brought before one with a Keyblade, can be reformed into the original world."

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' Hard, physical travel's something LIly's just getting used to, as time goes by. She's tagging along with Reize, Violet, and who knows, maybe even others, but her clothes are fresh and untorn, unstitched, unpatched, unstained now, and she seems almost giggly as she hops after the boy, while keeping her eyes alert. "No sign of trouble yet! Maybe there's nothing mean on the mountain to worry about!" She can hope. She can really hope.

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' "'Important matters'..." Violet mumbles quietly to herself. Its more likely that Ivo is chasing some skirt somewhere. She hardly knew him, but she knew enough to know //that// at least. Her soft lips part with a small exhale as she shrugs her slender shoulders, adjusting the weight of her pack on her bag, her bright blue eyes glancing to the strange device she can only compare as a compass. If it was going off, there was no way of Violet can tell.

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Lily is not alone and physical travel doesn't seem to bother Deelel at all but given her nature it's only a mater of haveing enough energy to keep going. So there she is along side Lily and grinning a bit. "Though that's not wise to say such things in my experiance what's the expression? Tempting fate?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Glancing back towards Violet, Reize squints at her repeating of his words. He looks rather clueless, so he wanted to ask for clarification, "Huh? What do you mean by that?" Reize is unaware of what Ivo would likely be doing at this time. In fact, the boy firmly believes that Ivo is off handling important matters at Fluorgis. Or something like that. With Serrah asking the boy regarding their purpose, Reize opens his mouth until Evja mentions about the World Shards. "Pretty much what she said!" The boy brightens, though he does glance over at her chocobo warily, "We are searching for the World Shards so that we can restore them!" He looks over towards his device. "This Shard Seeker device is supposed to help us locate them. It looks like it picked up something from here." He muses, "So, that may mean that we'll find a Shard here." From their current level, the mountain gives off a very intimidating look. It almost seens unsurmountable. Nevertheless, the mountain range looks like a great place to find the Shard. In fact, Reize is already making his move, gesturing for everyone to follow him. "Time to get moving! We can hopefully restore another world!" 

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' Serah Farron hmms as she thinks about that, getting the answers. Would Cocoon be somewhere that she needs such a shard too? Maybe its this shard? That's wishful thinking right there, how many more worlds are there? She moves along. She's not really built for physical stuff either, but her status as a l'Cie seems to have made her a bit more enduring too, so she should be thankful for that much. But yet, time's ticking away, on a task she doesn't even know what it is. Although, her brand hasn't changed much... maybe the time limit is pretty long? "I wonder what world it would be..." She muses, taken by Reize's cheerfulness, and adding her own to it, as much as she can under this situation at least.

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel looks over at Violet for a moment as she's not seen her in a while. "It's an honorable objective anyone we can restore is something that would make the shadow lords unhappy. Which by itself is a good thing. They attempt to destroy, we build anew or restore." She seems to be in a fairly chipper mood all things considered. She follows along keeping her disc on her back for the moment and she looks back to Reize "I have to agree, here's hoping we do find something."

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' "A world we never knew." Lily comments uncertainly, though this fact only has her somewhat bothered. She's not sure whose world it is, or i there are even people in it who miss it. Do all worlds have people? ... and still there's the matter of what happens if you were a person who never had a world? ... or did she? Thinking over these matters, Lily can only scratch her cheek, and sk rather awkwardly, "Are there worlds with only bad things in them? Or only good things? ... Or maybe nothing at all? They all seem so different..." Seems she's starting to think about things more deeply these days!

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Violet merely shakes her head to herself in reply, but she doesn't clarify anything to Reize. No need to explain what she thought Ivo might be doing after all. When he gestures towards the mountain range itself, Violet blinks her bright blue eyes at it for a moment's pause. It was certainly intimidating, at this angle.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "You know, Lily, I am not certain," Reize turns to face Lily as she asks about the range of the worlds. "...It could be possible that there are worlds with only bad people in it. Or worlds with only good." He considers, "Though, I can't say for sure what worlds could exist. ... There have been others that said that some worlds were better not found." The undaunting mountain range is as high as can be. The presence of the area is rather intimidating, yet, it is often unmoving. Or at least, it should be. There is a rumble of the earth quaking. It vibrates, affording a shudder that soon grows violent. Small debris rolls along from the heights above. That small debris soon grows into large boulders that are dropping towards the group. !!!! Reize yelps, "Everyone, get down, now!" The rocks have passed by a good number of people, but the small debris falls on Deelel and Lily, covering them with rock fragments. "...Was this place ever known to shake like this?" He asks towards the group.

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' Serah Farron ducks for cover when Reize shouts out. She doesn't know what's coming, but she's careful! She's heard it somewhere, make yourself as small as possible, smaller target, less chances of things to hit you. She still gets pelted by a little rock that comes in flying "Ow!" She frowns and rubs her shoulder where she got it. She looks over to Reize "... I have no idea? I've never been here before." She looks around "... Its not regular enough to be an earthquake, so maybe something is causing it?"

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel says "That very much sums up my life since October." Also she doesn't voice the face most users are .... not what she expected at all. She looks Lily and shrugs. "Or it could just be alien still what right did the Shadow Lords have to ... do such things in the first place. Such a binary existance would not be comon in your worlds in my limited experiance." Speaking of geting down now Deelel hits the ground but she's not fast enough as she's cuaght under some of the slide for lack of a better term. "It seems, this place is unstable."

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' Ack, ROOOOOCKS! Lily yelps, hunkering down, and takes a rock to the back. Thankfully, a small one, but she manages to dodge the bigger one in so doing. It floors her , driving her straight to the ground with a thump, squeezing a pained protesting yelp from her. "ow ow owwwwww... mean rocks instead of creatures now... I spoke too soooooooon..."

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Snapping her eyes down at her feet as she feels the earth begin to quake, Violet's blue eyes widen for only a moment before looking up above them, towards the mountain as boulders begin to fall. Loosened. Tightening her hands at her sides, the girl is quick to duck and roll out of the way before she's plummeted. Luckily missed, though others aren't as lucky.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Rumbling rocks roll along the hill. Boulders and debris pass through, leaving the area clear once more. After the mountain range seems clear, Reize emerges from the hiding spot, looking over the area, "Is everyone alright?!" As Lily is belted with the rocks, the boy is kneeling beside her to help her up. There is a sigh. Reize looks at everyone else, "Make sure you check a partner. I want to make sure that everyone who is traveling here will remain here together." The leader of the expedition takes the reins as leader, something that he doesn't like to often do. However, there are a good number of people who volunteered their time to stick with him for his goal. Ensuring their safety is important. "We'll continue ahead. In fact, we may want to hurry. I am not sure if this is natural or someone is doing it. However, we better investigate." The path along the mountains offers a route to take on foot. It is a bit of a rocky path, but it is less bumpy than the actual climbing of the mountains itself. However, the presence of the travel is not without its other sorts of obstacles. Those that dwell at the top are large birds that circle the sky. With the 'invaders' stepping into their territory, those that would dare to brave the Sabil Mountain range will be met with opposition from the large birds. Their cries and crows pierce the air as they dive down, mostly to intimidate.

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' Serah Farron doesn't really know anyone here, but she'll gladly accept a partner. She look sat the other people, wondering who to pick, but still tagging along closely to Reize. Closely ENOUGH that is, just sticking together to avoid any danger of being split. Its alerady a pretty small group, splitting it more could be dangerous after all. "I'm all for hurrying in and out of here, hoenstly..."

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel is alive and nothur too badly she nods to Reie about not getting splt up. That is a good idea, she keeps back now wondering just where a shade migth be around here. She's also aware of tthe other lifeforms ahead she's not sure what they are but she's not seen them before. "Unknown biological life form and it doesn't look friendly at all. I think being swift would be wise."

:'''[[Evja]] has posed:''' "Be careful and travel fast. I can jump high enough, so I should be enough to distract the beasts. And with all luck we shouldn't need to engage them." That said, however, Evja spurs his Chocobo to hurry up and get to a higher point. The light-blue Choco takes several leaps and hops and winds up at a slightly higher rock as if challenging the birds above, rider in tow. And it's there that the Viera waited, watching to see if any would be brave enough to dive within range of a good triple jump and spear to impale them with.

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' Partner up it is. In fact, Lily's sticking with Reize. She grabs the hand he offers to help her up with and pretty much does NOT let go, just plowing along wnext to him, cheer restored in a short enough matter. Squawking in her own way she ducks to avoid the birds as one swoops overhead dangerously close. "Go away, leave us alone!" She yells angrily... And powers flashes in that waving hand, without her usual huge aura sprouting up. It's not a big menacing assault on them, she simply projects a plume of fire up into the air and maintains it to try and chase the birds off!

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' "Yeah, I think so." Violet answers, "but I do not think all of us are." Lily was hurt... not good. Taking a breath, she dips her chin with a small nod in agreement. "Sooner we get out of here the better. No telling if there will be a worse quake that than, or if it will bury the shard." Hopefully not." Their path continues, quicker even with encouraged haste. And the birds... are rather intimidating.f

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Gah!" Reize calls out, "Shoo! Shoo!" He looks at the group, "Alright, we'll move fast. We need to get to the top. The Shard could be there!" With the large zuus flying around, they keep cawing at the intruders. They swoop from each direction, seeking to intimidate the tresspassers. If that doesn't work, then they will attack completely. However, the fact that they show resistence only serves to anger them. Suddenly, fire. Plume of fire lights the air. This is where the birds decide to cut their losses and fly away from the group. The earth rumbles once more. The rocks continue to fall from the ledge, which is thankfuly not within the reach of the group. However, something else is rolling along the route. A large boulder is rolling towards the slope, seeking to bowl over the group. "...That does not look comforting." 

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' Serah Farron blinks at the giant boulder, looking around for something to use for safety. She looks up... and thinks about something. She can use magic. Of course, she doesn't have a whole lot of time to think about it either, but worth a try. She holds a hand up toward a ledge a few feet above them, and shoots ice her magic. Blizzara, or Ice spells. She hopes to create a sword of 'ramp' using ice, which would roll it over them without stopping it. She doesn't think she can destroy it, so maybe this will save the group.

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel is just thinking this may be one of thsoe day the Zuus are swooping at them and she's going to duck out of the way of the birds she's not intent to kill wild life because it's angry about them stepping in it's turf after all. It's not a happy looking thing it's not a good looking thing. Nope it's not comforting at all to look at. The boulder is coming and it's time to get out of the way.

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Violet tries to ignore the birds. She really does try. But the more they become angry, the more difficult it was to ignore them and concentrate on following the path ahead of them. Glancing up at them to keep the birds in her line of sight, Violet blinks her bright eyes as she sees fire, followed by a large boulder following the slope of the mountain and aiming straight for them. For the first time, she couldn't help a small smirk. "I think we are on the right path. Otherwise, someone would not be trying so hard." Violet takes a cue from the others and pushes off in a hard sprint in order to get out of the way of the boulder, but it only encourages rather than discourages their progress.

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' That's quick thinking. Lily moves to help Serah, sending an extra frigid gale out herself to reinforce the ice ramp the moent she sees what the other person's up to. "Why does everything outside of cities want to hurty you?! Everything!" Again with the complaining. This time she's complaining at Reize though!

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Boulder is rolling down. Not good. However, Serah proves her skills when she manages to cast Blizzara in front of the group to form a ramp for the larger boulder to take a sligh detour. Lily fortifies the ramp with her own ice magic, re-inforcing the sturdiness of the makeshift ramp of ice. This causes the massive boulder to launch over the group, rolling over their heads. Instead of striking the group, it swoops past them and rolls down the hill. A grin is given towards Violet, "You're right!" He looks ahead once the boulder is out of their way. "This is our chance! Everyone, let's move!---acckkkk!" It is then that one of the Zuus have taken he brave leader. The zuu flies in the air, swooping up towards the top of the mountain. After it! As the group continues to travel upward, the mountains reveal to have their twists and turns. However... Eventually, the group are able to make it to the top of the mountain. Hopefully, fatigue does not overtake the group. Awaiting them at the very top... It is a large, shadowy creature. It's presence is within the skies, just waiting.... The massive zuu looks different from the others. The strangest thing is that it has a jewel to its chest. Meanwhile, another zuu has Reize within its talons. "...Well, this is awkward." 

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' Serah Farron phews as the boulder was redirected somehow. She smiles to Lily "Good teamwork, that worked great." She turns back on the path to continue the ascience... but when the giant bird appear... now that's not a good thing. It won't be a bit of ice ramp that will push that one away, likely x.x And one caught Reize too! "Oh no!" She hands a hand out, aiming to shoot firey projectile at the bird's wings, hoping to clip it enough to limit its flight and force it to come back down with its catch before it can fly away too far.

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel time to move she scrambles after her companions she breaks into a run even as the magic starts to fly. However as they make it to the top there's something waiting there for them and Reize is grabbed. A knight in distress? How does this work? She doesn't know but she runs some coded comands and she gets ready it could be prett bad but how to get him lose without him getting ripped apart or thrown to his Doom.

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Making it up to the very top (thankfully in one piece), the shadowed creature loom above them. The first one that Violet's seen in this realm after her own world was engulfed by the darkness. Tensing, she exhales a short breath to focus herself, just as the Zuu catch Reize in its claws. "Not in your life." Violet growls sharply under her breath, just before she dives at its feet to pry the thing off of Reize. After a short moment, she'll resort to pulling out her rapier and slash at it instead, hoping the pain would release him.

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' "EVERYTHING." Lily grumps in a final fashion, hopping up behind Reize-- and then he's carried off, leaving her blinking heavily. Ack, ACK, what the heck?! "Noooo, get back here. Come back with Reize!" Sparks of anger - and just as quickly electricity - flicker about her. The previous control's mostly gone as a thin film of magical light kicks up around Lily, who quickly hops back to Deelel's side, a little bit behind her. "This big one's going to get in our way... but not for along."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Flap. Flap. The Emerald Zuu remains in mid-air, the eyes glowing as the emerald crystal along its chest starts glowing. Reize, in mid-air from the talons, the boy sweatdrops. "Knight's Vow #83: There is no shame in calling for help." Pause. "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!" Reize is flailing like mad. The Zuu shakes the boy a lot, dizzying the young adventurer. The large zuu who has the boy captured notices the flames ignite its way. The creature swoops to the side while rising back up. However, the rapier does a good job in irritating the creature enough to drop Reize. Oof! Reize is on the ground in this condition: @_@ He does woozily look over the creature, "...Buh...? Was that the source of the glow...?" The creature gives off a hiss. Then, it starts flying away with the other birds. However, not without carrying another gem in its talons. The other zuu is following in suit, mostly to escape. 

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' Serah Farron leaves Reize to the care of Lily, who seems to have... the soft spot for the young adventurer, she can tell by how she's reacting to what he says, and how angered she gets when he gets captured like that. He looks okay at least, nothing broken, not unconcious, and not brain damaged... at least, she thinks. She spots the glowing thing in its claw as well, and keeps aiming fire bolts at its wing to further cripple it, and then shoots one at the claw to try to make it drop it "Hey, is that what we were looking for, maybe?"

:'''[[Deelel]] has posed:''' Deelel watches with a bit of suprised and then concern. For Reize's well being he is her friend after all and she's now running for it and then he gets dropped she's now looking ove rher frien and she's got a potion from somewhere which she hands to him. "Take this... you had a bit of a fall."

:'''[[Lily]] has posed:''' Lily hdashes up next to Reize. O rat least, she tries to, but she trips over her outfit at nearly the last moment and, in act, ends up crashing into him with a yelp, splaying out across him perpendicularly. "ooowrgh... ... mean birds.... I'll expect anything everywhere next time!"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Flap... Flap.. Serah manages to strike against the jewel in the bird's talon. It descends towards the ground, falling right into her grasp. She will find that the crystal is nothing special. Nothing in particular. However, the Shard Seeker is going off. It points at the large bird, "...Buh? Was that what it was tracking?" He frowns, looking disappointed. He then turn towards Lily, who is running to him. ..And he trips on him. As she sprays along him, the boy is face to face with her. "Hi Lily." He offers a faint smile, "...Thanks for saving me, everyone." He sighs, "It looks like that we did not find a shard this time.." He brightens, "But we did have one journey!" 

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' Serah Farron blinks as she catches the jewel. She hmmms, looking at it "Why was it carring it off then?" She wonders, looking at it through the sunlight to see if there's something inside. "... I got the feeling this is kinda precious somehow..."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' The sun is never around. It had been long ago abandoned by the eternal night that is Traverse Town. Nevertheless, the beach is still a wonderously beautiful area, even if it had not been visited too often. The sound of the sea feels rather refreshing, even if there is sparseness of seagulls about. Nevertheless, there exists a moon that is wonderful to see beyond the shore and through the ocean. This eternal night is a great way to spend the beach. The sand has sand castle nearby. It was one that had long been beaten, but part of it still remained. Reize, who had once visited the beach to mull over his fate, is now taking the moment to relax and bring a friend with him. His attire is, as always, his adventuring one. He had finished an exhibition match at the Colisseum. So, it is the matter of waiting for his next match. But here he is, able to enjoy the cool wind. 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Beaches were a new thing for Annalise. The girl known as Violet. The sand is soft under her bare feet as she runs ahead, giggling to herself as her feet shift weirdly on the sand with each step, feeling herself sliding almost. And the ocean sloshes up on the beach as if outstretched fingers for a long pause before the waters retreat back into the ocean itself. The warm night air sweeps through her long sundress as Anna reaches up to brush back the hair from her face as she glances back over her shoulder at Reize, smiling. "I have never been on the edge of the world before. The most I have seen is a pond or a lake."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' It's nice to see such a smile on Annalise's face. Reize had been glancing at her for some time, watching her play along the ocean. It's like a kid to be running ahead. Finishing his writing on the journal once more, Reize straightens and he runs after her, grinning while she remains at the water. ...At least, until... the painful memory comes back. ...Reize is curled into a ball, comical tears running along his eyes. "... Water. Bad. Ocean. Bad. Waterfalls. Bad." And the brave adventurer is fear-stricken.

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' The water tickles as the waves lap at her bare feet, her toes wiggling through the thin white foam as the water recedes once more. As Reize stands to run closer to where she is, her smile grows, though it pauses in her features when the boy abruptly comes to a stop, curling himself into a ball. The sudden drastic change was alarming. Just what had happened? Her shoulders tense as Annalise pushes herself towards him, the sand clinging to her wet feet as she kneels in front of him. Was he crying? Concern washes over her features as she lifts a hand out to brush the dark hair from his face. "Reize?..."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize's current status: Q_Q "...Water. Water bad." The brave adventurer, who could face any challenge from monsters to temples of doom. His greatest match that would easily defeat him: Water. Rivers, oceans, ponds. All forms of water. "I c-c-can't swim." Reize remains curled in a ball. He is safe right here. Definitely safe at the distance from the water. No need to jump in. 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Annalise blinks her bright crystal blue eyes at Reize for a moment before her expression softens with some understanding. So that's what it was. He couldn't swim. What could happen that scarred him that much though? Brushing back his hair once more, she smiles lightly, "Its alright. You do not have to go into the water if you do not want to. But, if you are this scared why choose the beach, hm?" she teases gently, her smile growing subtly.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Grunt. "Ooii! It was a good idea at the time!" Reize puffs his cheeks in response to Annalise's questioning. The young boy offers a grin, then he stands up. He was slowly becoming himself once more. "Well, you see.. I came here a month or two back. I was in a bit of a rut... and I came across someone who was building a sand castle." He muses thoughtfully. "Ahh... nevertheless. I find it a relaxing spot. Besides, I am trying to remain nearby Traverse! I have a couple of more matches at the Colisseum!" He grins, "I will win a small medal. I have been competing a bit and this is a nice place to relax." Resting his head back along the sand, his arms move to the back of his head. "It's relaxing." 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Annalise gives him a mildly flat glance, but the smile lingers on her soft lips as the naturally wide grin returns to his features. "Sand castle?" she leans back as Reize uncurls himself, tilting her head. "How do you make a sand castle?" The pale-headed girl lifts a slender brow with a brief, skeptical glance. "You find it relaxing until the point you curl in a ball with fear?" the teasing note hints at her voice again. He takes a seat again and Anna loosely wraps her slender arms around her knees. "You know, you could always learn how to swim. Take baby steps?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Very carefully!" There is a bit of tinge of smart alecky in the boy. Nevertheless, he does keep an eye open to read Annalise, "Well, it involves getting the sand together and shaping it. You could apply a bit of water, but not too much. You can make a sand castle with a lot of time anddedication." And then her skeptical teasing earns a twitch of the antenna hair. An eye widens "---Err.. as long as I stay away from something as silly as that, I should be fine!" The boy brightens, hiding from that fear of the DREADED WATER! ....Learn how to swim? That look of horror returns. Cue Reize curled into a ball with him sheepishly replying, "...Uhh.. maybe some other time! Yeah! Ah hah hah hah..." 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Maybe she shouldn't have suggested learning to swim, but Anna couldn't help but tease him at least a little bit. "What, not even a puddle of water?" Anna grins, reaching out to poke at his stomach. "You are the fearless adventure. I know you could conquer this. I believe in you." Even if he doesn't have any in himself.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Puffing his cheeks, Reize grunts towards Annalise. He runs a and over to the back of his head, even as she teases him a bit. He gives a sweatdrop, the he offers the woman a faint smile. "...Y--yeah!" He offers a smile at the woman, then he raises a fist in the air, "Yes! I can do it!" ....Curling into ball. "...Another time!" 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' For a moment there Reize looks like he's returned to his old self, punching the air with a fist. Until he curls into a ball again. Exhaling a small breath, Annalise smiles gently and turns just enough to take a seat beside him, nudging his side with her hip. "Show me how to make a sand castle."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Good luck on getting Reize to brave the dreaded water! The boy's deep seeded fear. The young man is rising his hands in the air, then he brings his head over the back of his head. He lifts his eyes towards the sky. Frown. As she nudges his side, Reize gives her a grin and he lifts his body up. He looks down at the sand, then he turns about. He kneels beside her, he starts making some space. Reize is gathering up a bit of the sand, looking over at Annalise. "Alright, let's begin building. Let's gather up a good handful of sand." Already, Reize's hands have scooped up the sand and then he pushes it to the center, right between the two.

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Annalise blinks her crystal blue eyes at Reize when he stands to his feet, turning about to kneel with a bit of room between them. Listening, her expression becomes thoughtful for a moment or so. The girl leans forward and cups both of her hands, as instructed, to begin scooping sand with her fingers to push it towards the middle. Just as Reize did. Getting her hands dirty. The very thought. Anna giggles to herself but doesn't stop her scooping.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' There is a bit of kinship or closeness in the midst of the two kneeling together. They are in this beach together, scooping together the sand to join them closer. While the gathered sand is meshed together, the young man's hands begin to scoop around the bulk. As the bulk joins with the rest, the young man lifts his head up to gaze at her. It is nice, seeing her enjoying herself. She is doing the same activity as he is. His smile grows. When he gathers a large amount of sand together, Reize pats a bit more of the sand. As his hand pats along the sand, it rests over Annalise's hand. "So, now we've created the bulk and we want to proceed to define its shape!"

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Anna watches Reize as he begins patting down the sand to make it more sturdy. She sticks her tongue out at the corner of her mouth with a look of intent as she begins doing the same, taking the lead as she uses a finger to make a little indent where a window could be. And after she beams to herself with some amount of accomplishment. "This is fun! It reminds me of shaping clay even. Not that I was allowed to do that or anything..." Still, her bright eyes glance up at him as his hand pats over hers. "Like, with towers?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Oh?" Reize lifts his head up, grinning towards Anna. "We didn't have sand in our village." He sighs, giving a look of lamentation, "But, we did have dirt. So, we tried making some hills." Thinking back upon the attempt, Reize squints while he mutters, "...I don't think that went well, upon realization." And then, Anna is looked over once more, but Reize gives her a growing smile. "It's a good bit of freedom, isn't it?" Reize, however, doesn't realize that his hand was on top of hers. ...Until now. There is a bit of silence from him, but he coughs, "Yeah, the towers. We will define the features with towers." 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Whatever hills he was talking about in his village didn't do well evidently, and Anna smiles to herself as she lifts a brow at him curiously. Oh well. Maybe one day she'll learn more about those hills. The girl chuckles and lowers her chin with a small nod. "Its like, making whatever you feel should be there, with the sand as a medium." Her crystal blue eyes glance down at where his fingers touch the back of her hand so lightly, almost as if it wasn't even there. Reize breaks the silence first and a small bit of color rises in Anna's cheeks. "This is nice." she murmurs. "I kinda wish everyday could be like this."

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' With the silence broken and the two muse over the day, Reize finally lays his head back over to the sandy ground. His eyes now focuses up towards the sky. His eyes lift up, gazing towards the stars. He holds onto his pendant briefly, thinking about the wishes that have been accomplished so far. The jewel glows briefly. In the end, there is much he doesn't know about. Not only that, but there is the fact that people are suffering in this world. Many events have gone by. For now, Reize can only muse about the good. Just to enjoy the day with Annalise. "...Yeah. Let's just enjoy this day for today." 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' As Reize looks up at the stars in the sky, her hands pause as Annalise looks upwards as well, her expression softening with a smile and a look of something wistful. "Yeah..." she agrees with a breath, brushing off her sandy hands before reaching up to tuck a few stray pale moonlit locks behind an ear. "Well, I think the company always has a big part of that. I mean, the days you wish you can keep with you. It would not be the same otherwise." Anna shakes her head to herself. What was she saying? She felt like she was just stumbling over words to fill the silence. The air was so comfortable before. Why did she have to ruin it? And when did she get like this? She breathes another silent sigh to herself, feeling more awkward now that she ruined the mood. Or whatever it was that was happening.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Turning to face Annalise as she speaks, the boy listens to her well. "...Heh." He gives a bright smile, both eyes shutting. He maintains that relaxed state. "You're right. Sometimes, it does help when you have good company." He offers a grin, but his expression softens. "Thank you for spending the day with me, Anna." 

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' "Yeah,..." Anna murmurs again, her crystal blue eyes returning to him. Maybe he'll realize one day, but now they just have times like this to enjoy. That's enough for her right now. Smiling, she reaches out to take his hand again, simply holding it as she looks back up at the stars and unfamiliar constellations over her head, the warm air salty from the ocean as it gently washes over the beach with a comforting rhythm. Hopefully, for more days and nights like this.

}}
:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Mullonde is the holy city, the official headquarters of Glabados Church. It is a place of great beauty ranging from the outer structure to the courtyard. People come by to pray and to give honor to their higher power. God is worshipped in this place. The devout members are about to ensure everything runs smoothly and to tend to the lost and needy. Where there is great beauty on the outside... The truth and the horrible nature of the Church is hidden from prying eyes. Templars and many of the church devouts are not privy to the information. In fact, many of the higher members have been privy to the information below. This particular area... is a dungeon. In fact, it is beyond the dungeon. This facility is the alchemist laboratory. Strange vials runs along while flasks bubble. The course of liquid run along the cords, leading to more flasks. Within this very lab is a small cage with a dog bowl, the cage is meant for someone. However, it is rather empty. The walls, however, is covered with blood and writings. Scratches have been left along the wall, formed to those writings. There is instead someone on the lab table. With his back on the table, his body is facing up towards the ceiling. Top off, the upper body reveals old scars that have etched his body, man-made from what is assessed to be whip markings. However, he is still wearing those loose blue pants. Wrapped around the blue-haired boy's neck is a collar. That collar is pulsating, as if it is alive. With no one around, that 'thing' creepily moves about, breathing and exercising its lifeforce. There is a gaping wound at the boy's chest, revealing what is to be his heart covered by something. It looks to be part of the collar. Yet, the boy lies motionless. His eye is opened. He can only stare at the sky. This is Winter Dusk, the Frigid Executor. This is the greatest experiment of the inquisitor, Professor Sagrath. 

:'''[[Arkham Fisher]] has posed:''' This is an outrage. An affront to Ajora. An affront to /sanity/. The scribe is no longer sure what she was expecting, being sent to attend on a patient in the deep dungeons; nothing godly goes on down there, that much she knows, and any doubts she ever harbored have been driven clean from her mind by the sight of it. Okay, but, there'll be time to moralize later; she has a patient, now. A patient, and as clean an operating theater as she's ever had, unnervingly enough. Still struck speechless, she approaches the boy on the table cautiously, and examines her task. Is there bleeding? There's certainly blood, and the wound looks fresh and ragged, but he isn't dead, or even dying... That's almost sicker than anything else. Arkham lifts a wrist to search out a pulse, and passes a hand before the boy's eyes. He can't be conscious, surely. There must be at least that much mercy in the world.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' This is a section forbidden from anyone from accessing. However, with the assistance of Louis, Arkham likely got the location of the boy's whereabouts. This leads her to the place. This place of twisted science. This is merely the section where man attempts to become God. The resident of the laboratory is away, likely attending to other matters. This leaves Arkham to enter uninterrupted to do her work as the nurse. As Arkham reaches out a hand to touch the boy's body, she will find that the youth emits a pulse. That pulse is coming from the exposed chest where the heart rests. It pumps, pulsating itself. Then, the collar at the center has an eyeball open, the head twisting to her direction. The collar's eye sees her. A hissing sound emits from the eldritch horror before the inky black material around it lashes out a tendril at short distance in warning. The eye uncovered by his hair opens to see someone before him. He stares at her, uncertain as to what to do. The gaze becomes curious. "...Not the master." 

:'''[[Arkham Fisher]] has posed:''' No place is forbidden to a healer. Arkham was sent here by Templar LeBlue, yes, to see to the health and comfort of this captive. Comfort is a distant concern at this point; she isn't even sure how to address the boy's condition. "No master, no. His servant, humbly." He's /speaking/? The mind boggles... still, a responsive patient is always helpful. May as well just ask him. She sets his wrist aside, and turns a gentle eye to Sanel. Her face, half-shadowed by an old scar, is kind nonetheless. "Do you hurt?" She can scarce imagine that he doesn't.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Any intruders, should he had been in an active role, would had been targetted for execution. However, the presence of the nurse is appraised once more. He continues to examine her, trying to process what he is supposed to do. Given that he is not to kill, he is just watching. It is all that he can do. Whether or not he will remember this encounter is unknown. Finally, the strange boy speaks. "A servant. Another member of the church. However, no one is allowed here save for a few. It was the master's words." The visible eye glance carefully onto her face, trying to process her features. "No. I am not hurt. ... I am unable to feel pain." The strange collar keeps a watch of the woman, it vibrates while a hiss stirs from it. It's likely warning her threateningly. "I am in a statis state until I am given further instructions by the master." 

:'''[[Arkham Fisher]] has posed:''' Arkham will not be cowed by some strip of eldritch jewelry; her cause is sacred, and will not be impeded. "That's... good, I think. Are you..." How was she expected to deal with this? What /is/ this, even, that she should deal with? She puts it from her mind. She'll do her job, and think no more of it. From her kit, she extracts a curved needle and a spool of silk. "This won't hurt, then. I'm going to close that. Stay still, please." It's a task she's familiar with, one normally worked on screaming soldiers in trenches; Sanel's stoicism is appreciated. "What sort of master leaves a boy to wait on a table with his heart bare?"

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' "Alive. Yes." Pause. "Alive as noted." The boy no longer looks at her, but instead keeps the eyes gazed at the ceiling. He looks contemplative as he listens carefully to her. He slowly breathes in and out. The moment that the woman is starting to extract the spool and needle, she will find that the area where the heart is exposed is starting to become covered with a protective skin. The strange thing about this skin is that it is the same inky black 'skin' as the collar around his neck. "A wound long ago. It is never completely bear. It keeps me alive. As long as it exists, I can never die. ... Wounds can never remain." "...The master likely knows that you have come." 

:'''[[Arkham Fisher]] has posed:''' If a needle pierces it, then Arkham will sew through it, blackened flesh or no. "Wounds enough remain, or so it seems to me." The boy has enough scars to fit out half a division. If the flesh resists her, as she suspects it might, she won't press the issue far; its horrible nature is fast wearing through her professional detachment. "The, the master can scarce object if I, if I attend to his servant's health." With a deep breath, she regains her composure. "What is your name, brave servant? I am Arkham, of the School of the Word."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' As Arkham starts to press the needle towards the skin, the inky black substance bubbles a bit. She will find that the needle is slowly melting away, as if the acidic substance was eating against the metal. Suddenly, the hiss is a violent one as the inky skin now stretches out towards her. A blade protrudes from the flesh towards her neck in warning. It's a tendril, waving and moving around. It lashes out near her, threatening its final threat for her to come closer. "Agent Winter Dusk. However, those that have encountered me have called me the Frigid Executor." "Those that my master brand a Heretic, I am to slay." 

:'''[[Arkham Fisher]] has posed:''' Arkham drops the needle on its spot; this is too much even for her. She steps carefully clear of the lashing blade, her hand dropping to the knife at her belt in spite of herself. "Call, call, call off your hound, then. Your master has, has nothing to fear from me." Shaken, she steps further back from the table, uncertain of the foul tendril's reach. Somewhere below hearing she mutters the beginnings of a prayer, watching the Frigid Executor fearfully.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' As Arkham is on high alert, so is the eldritch horror that exists around him. That symbiote continues to coil aroind the boy, melding itself along where the hole that exposed his heart was at. And yet, the blade continues to wave along the sights of the woman. It's like a serpent, awaiting an opportunity for the threat to come closer. The boy finally admits.. "I do not control it." The boy remains gazing at the sky, "...I have no control over it. It acts all on its own." Instead, it controls the boy. The tendril slowly recoils back now that Arkham is no longer considered a threat of getting closer to the boy. And the sound of footsteps slap the earth as a man steps in from the entrance. The man looks to be within his late-thirties. He has a pair of small glasses along his eyes; his face maintains a friendly demeanor. "Ahhh... an unexpected guest." Inquisitor Sagrath's eyes open, looking towards Arkham, "I do hope you have enjoyed the sightings of my workplace." 

:'''[[Arkham Fisher]] has posed:''' Scribe Arkham meets the gaze of Inquisitor Sagrath, paling still from the mounting horror that Sanel is. "Grace," she greets, unable even to remember the man's proper style. Fear takes her words from her, but she knows far better than to dissemble with such as him. "It, it, it is not for me to wonder at your purpose. I was asked to, asked to see to the comfort of, of..." She indicates the boy on the table. "But there is, is nothing for me to do, it seems."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Sagrath keeps a very disarming smile towards Arkham, "Ah, I see that you have met my greatest creature." The man starts to walk past the woman, slowly approaching the boy before he places a hand to the boy's chest. Someone asked her to tend to the comfort of the boy? His lips purse. Louis LeBlue likely led her here. However, the emotions are pushed away. "Good." The man turns to direct his gaze at the woman before him. "Scribe, isn't it?" He tries to familiarize himself with her place. "There is no need to worry about its condition. Winter Dusk is able to recover on its own." The smile twists slightly, "Since there is no need for you to work on the boy, there is no more of a reason for you to be within these labs." He maintains a smile. "...Is there?"

:'''[[Arkham Fisher]] has posed:''' Now, some toolbag from high command is always wandering through the hospital tents trying to dictate life and death to the medics. It's a fact of life. And Arkham is well practiced at driving the true facts of life through the heads of who tries it; nobody tells the medic her business. There are horrors in this hall beyond the reek of any battlefield, though, horrors which the scribe did not come prepared to face. Still, she clings to what dignity she has. "If, if not his body, his soul wants for comfort, but I expect that, that I can grant him neither." It seems she should take her leave, but she hesitates. Somehow.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' There is a glance over towards the woman as she comments about the boy's soul. That is where the man twitches. If there was anything that betrayed his emotions, it was the instance that his body flinched. He slowly turns to face the medic, a glance is now a hardened one. "It is true that a medic must see to the needs of men in pain." The eyes narrow towards her. "With this one, there is no soul to comfort. It is a weapon. My greatest weapon. In the end, it is a weapon with no soul left." Now, he is no longer in the mood to draw hints. A smile forms, a restrained, patient smile that looks like it is on the verge of breaking. "You may take leave, Scribe. After all, this place is not safe for those not familiar with the ...research here." 

:'''[[Arkham Fisher]] has posed:''' Dangerous thoughts to fill the mind of the inquisitive with, Inquisitor. Some color returns to Arkham's face, and some strength to her spine. If Sagrath needs to play it this way, so be it. "Then, then by your leave, Inquisitor, I'll see myself out." She must pass the man to exit, but he's hardly likely to slow her up. At the door, she pauses, to bow low. "Save some threats for the accused, do." That's the full extent of her nerve. There may be someone who knows where she is, and Sagrath /may/ not wish to draw their further ire, but he also /may/ have her struck down where she stands. Or try. She isn't standing there, in any case. She's making as brisk an exit as decorum permits.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' "...Hrm." The professor watches the scribe take leave, a bemused smile forms at the meantime. However, as she makes her way out of the area. A scowl falls upon his face as a tendril erupts from his back, "...Unwanted visitors." Then, he turns to face the boy, "...It is a pity that Sister Lilliana was the last visitor that you had." A thoughtful smile forms, "...Such a great devout." "...I have plans for you, Winter Dusk..." It is the matter of getting the boy sent out... to be found once more. "You have a mission to perform and I've taken care of everything..." The tendril that had threaten the outsider coils along the man's hand. His eye drifts back to see the exit.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Mullonde is the holy city for those who see the church as their one stop shop for the close interaction with the higher being. It is the central headquarters for all templars, priests, and those under the Glabados teachings. The beautiful land exists with its decorations of flowers, orate buildings, and a training field. ...Not everything is what it seems. Deep within the chambers of the church exists a place where the good deal of the chuch members do not know about. It is where the darkest secrets are kept. One of them exists a small laboratory. Flasks and other sorts of tools hang out. Liquid travels through the tubes into vials. At the center is a long haired man who is nearing his fourties. His eyes are closed as he looks serene. However, the expression is filled with great disappointment. "What a pity... He did not complete his objective." 

:'''[[Louis LeBlue]] has posed:''' "You said 'that word' would make him behave!" Louis wanders into that very same laboratory, with Sanel underneath his arm. His chest is tied off with bandages, and then leather on top of that in order to try and do away with questions. Louis looks tired however, there's blue rings beneath his eyes, and his hair is missing its luster. His step is tired and slow. It is obvious that he is wounded. He isn't even carrying his blades with him today. Only Sanel - unconscious even still. He only just removed his blade from the boy. "He isn't human."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' "Ah... I said that it would help jog his memory. A fragment to return him to what he once was. Never did I say that it would /CONTROL/ him, my good friend." Sagrath opens an eye, turning to face the direction towards the entrance with a smile. "Eredias was a village that he was sent to exterminate the Heretics. ...Sadly, there were more people exposed to such heresy." A shrug is given by the Alchemist. "...Things had to be done to prevent the spread." It is then that Louis notes something in particular about the boy. Sagrath maintains that smile, "Oh! You've noticed!" The mage turns towards the unconscious youth, "...Ahh, it has been a while since we have encountered each other, Winter Dusk." Then, Sagrath turns around to walk over towards a wall. As he places a hand towards the wall, it twists and turns to a table. "What you hold in your arms is Winter Dusk, the greatest weapon and the dark hand of the Church. Those that are to be exterminated... he is sent with just a word or a snap of a finger." A thoughtful look comes, "However, it seems that things have gotten in the way of that conditioning." 

:'''[[Louis LeBlue]] has posed:''' "Do not use that word so - you demon." Louis answers Sagrath, giving him an annoyed gaze. "I am not your friend." Not even close to being his friend. The man looks down at the boy while the mage smiles. "I do not know of what you speak." The man steps towards the exposed table when it is presented to him, and carefully drops the boy's body onto it. Louis does know honor - at least a little. "To call him the greatest weapon just shows how little you truly know, Sagrath." Louis points out. "I bested the boy. Even while attacked by many others. And I am hardly the strongest within this church. "Though possibly one of the strongest swordsmen. "Is there something you aren't telling me?"

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' "... Ahh... I am hurt." Sagrath offers that friendly smile, still unwavering despite of Louis's temperament towards him. He turns over to the table as the boy is laid to rest. Sagrath is merely approaching the table filled with flasks and vials. Then, Louis's response. "...He is a tad rusty. Besides, I stopped him before he could show you what he could really do. Do you really think that he collapsed out of the blue for no reason?" The smile grows, it becomes more maddening. However, he calms, "Ahh, I shall let you in on something." A hand gestures to the unconscious boy, "...Winter Dusk is my greatest experiment. ...It just took some time to... teach him." 

:'''[[Louis LeBlue]] has posed:''' "I stabbed him. The blade went though." Louis answers Sagrath, not allowing the man to tell him otherwise, to take his honor away in that battle. Louis lays a hand to his chest, gripping into the leather, while staring at Sagrath a little longer. "An 'experiment'? You truly are a foul man, Sagrath." Louis reminds the man of just how much he dispises him. "Let me ask you - why spend all this time? All that knowledge on a mere boy? Why not an adult man? Why... all of this?"

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' "...He can survive through a lot of things." For as long as that symbiote is with him, Sanel will live a long time. The man merely looks over towards Louis at his remark, "...All in the name of God." And science. Then, the question as to why the boy. Why not an adult man? "Many samples were chosen over the past years. Men, women... None of them survived the experiment." A hand gestures to the boy, "...This boy, however, is the first to survive." And then, he laughs, "Why did I chose this boy, out of all people? ...Why did I chose this little boy...---" He walks along near his table, "--instead of letting him join the Inquisition like his kin and allow him to be trained by the church?" He turns towards Louis, the eyes narrow, "...He had a spirited fire in his eyes. A defiant fire. In essence, he volunteered himself to my teachings and to prove a point." "... with the right touch, even an inferno can be snuffed like a candlelight."

:'''[[Louis LeBlue]] has posed:''' Louis lays a hand to his forehead and shakes his head. "You are a wretched man, Sagrath." Simply because the boy had a 'fire', he choose to use a mere boy? Louis lowers his hand and crosses both arms. "I can not say I agree with your choice. But I've done what you needed from me. I've brought you the boy." The man lays a hand onto Sanel's head, running his fingers through his hair. He wonders what this boy's father was like. One of those who were sacrificed to the experiments? He wonders for a moment, if he'll ever be a father. "I must leave. Keep me up to date on your progress on him. The higher ups wish to be kept informed." Louis speaks in a manner that suggests that Sagrath knows very well not to disobey 'those' people.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Most of Louis's words have fallen deaf in his ears. Sagrath is no longer paying attention. Not to the insult. Not to the fact that the methods are different. "...How I found him..." The man recalls in his musing, "... His parents hid a pair of Heretics. ... They were simply dispatched. But this boy... This boy and his brother had a natural gift of magic. This child had the power to manipulate the cold while his brother could manifest flames without needing to chant like our thaumaturges. Ooh, you should have seen it. They were young, uncertain of how to use their powers. ...They needed the proper teachings of the Church. ...Now, this boy is something greater." He stops in his musing to hear that Louis wants to be kept up to date. "Ahh, but of course. I shall keep all of the higher-ups updated." His eyes drift towards the boy, who unconsciously shudders uncomfortably. "... I will have to dig deep within his psyche to fix the 'damages' done." 

:'''[[Louis LeBlue]] has posed:''' "You could have waited." Louis answers Sagrath, as he moves towards the door. Only when he reaches the exit does he look back to the lab for a moment. "Keep /me/ up to date. I will inform the higher ups. Don't mistake your position in the Glabados church, professor. You talk to me. I will talk to them." The man then turns towards the exit and finally leaves. But as he leaves, he wonders who is more the monster... himself for surviving that strike to his heart, Sanel and all that he is... or the professor, who seems to believe himself god.

|Cast of Characters=Sanel, Kyra Hyral
|pretty=yes
}}
:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Time has passed since Sanel started staying in the Hyral family's residence. After the recovery from his venture finding them, the boy had decided to stick around and help out with the place. Amidst the scorching heat of the desert city, Sanel had been refreshed and recharged enough to act as a battery for keeping the place cool. As long as he's strong and happy, the heat won't bring him down. It helps that he is in-doors, so it makes manipulating the temperature easier. Sanel had been working on cleaning up the place. Straightening any of the furniture and sweeping underneath it. In fact, with a single arm, he lifts up the said couch and sweeps out the dust, before setting it back down. "Hrm hm.. hrmm... o/`"

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' Kyra's actually pretty appreciated Sanel's presence. Free air conditioning! A city such as Archades did get very hot-though at the same time it did make her worry for Sanel's well-being since she knows he preferred the colder temperatures. As far as having him around went, Kyra's pretty receptive to Sanel's presence. He's a good kid. Kyra rolls in pretty late. She's a busy person! Tired, though not exceptionally so, she steps through the door just as she spies Sanel lifting the couch with one hand over his head. Shocked, she stares at this for the duration of the cleaning and couch-dropping. "...hello Sanel." she finally says.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Sanel is happy to have been accepted by Kyra. After all, the young boy does like Alma a lot. The young wintry sprite of a boy has been working hard to keep the place cool enough, especially since he desert heat is strong enough to sap his strength. After the dropping of the couch, Sanel hears a voice greeting him. Creening his head over, Sanel beams a smile to Kyra and he bobs his head a couple of times. "Hi Mog Ky! Sanel figured he would do some cleaning. Mog Ky and Almmy let Sanel stay with them, Sanel would be of some use." He tilts his head over, looking over at Kyra for a few moments. "Mog Ky had long day?" 

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' Strolling in, Kyra elects to flop down on the newly dropped couch. She stretches out and swings her bag onto the cushions next to her. It's like she's melting into the couch on the spot. "Well thank you very much for cleaning up the place, Sanel. You're doing a good job." He was so cheerful. It's a shame Alma wasn't here right now-she could use this boy's cheer. She could use some cheering up. "Oh yeah, very busy day." Kyra yawns. "So much science. I'm exhausted, Sanel!" She rolls her head back to look at him, "How have you been doing here?"

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' As soon as Kyra flops on the couch, Sanel gets a good look at her and he brightens his smile. It looks like she could use the rest. "Thanks! Sanel did not want to be a burden." He does, however, worry for Alma. The boy, admittedly, had not seen Alma in a while. The eyebrows knit together, but it is tossed away as Kyra answers him and then moves to question about his adjustment here. "This place is extremely hot. Sanel hates the heat." The boy sticks his tongue out, but then he brightens, "But, Sanel can combat the bad heat with his powers. Also, Sanel has Mog Ky and Almmy." His smile starts to grow a little more. "... Sanel has not had the need to wander around anymore. At least, it doesn't feel like Sanel needs to wander around." 

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' "Aww, Sanel, you're hardly a burden at all!" She smiles at him, "You even clean the house for us, it's great! You're practically moved in, but..." Kyra IS concerned about Sanel's constitution in this environment, remembering quite vividly when he nearly died in their room from the heat. She looks surprised, "Can you handle it here now? Is it not too uncomfortable? Because if you want to stay here, I'd definitely be okay with it. I doubt Alma would mind either..." she trails off again, "I'm sorry she hasn't been around. She's been very sad lately and had to go off and think for a while."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' It brings a smile as the older sister of the Hyral family praises Sanel for his cleaning. It makes the boy happy that he is useful to the people that he cares about. Kyra brings about a very important concern. "... Sanel is uncertain. Sanel... doesn't do well in the heat. Sanel does not know why. Maybe it is because Sanel feels natural with ice. Heat weakens Sanel." The boy lifts his head up to gaze at Kyra, "Sanel once said that he'd brave the heat to find his Almmy. Sanel keeps his word." Then, the mention of Alma being sad brings forth a sad smile. "...Sanel would like to see his Almmy again. ...Maybe be able to comfort her. But, Sanel will wait until Almmy returns." He looks at Kyra, "..Just like Mog Ky, right?" 

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' "If there's anything we can do to help you survive here better, let us know, Sanel." The concern on Kyra's face doesn't fade at all. "We don't want you to get hurt just to stay with us." Though at the same time, the Hyrals weren't likely to move just to accomodate their snow sprite roommate any more. "I think you'll be able to see her again. She'll come back. Sometime. I will let her know that you miss her. Of course I will wait for my sister. If she takes too long, I will hunt her down again."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' "Sanel... will let Mog Ky and Almmy know!" The boy furrows his eyebrows, "If Sanel could block out the heat, that would make things easier!" Sanel would not dare ask the sisters to find another place just to accomodate him. While it would be nice to be in a better environment, keeping close to Alma is more important to him. Kyra's reassurance brings a smile to his face, "...Thank you, Mog Ky." He shuts his eye, then he re-opens them to look another way. "...Sanel feels at peace here, despite of the heat. ... No need to wander around... and bad templar men with spears are not around to try to take Sanel away." 

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' "...hmm, I'll figure out something." Maybe some insulation would help. Keep the cool air in and the heat out! That might also be expensive unless Kyra figures out how to install it all herself. Which shouldn't be a problem. KYRA IS A GENIUS! Her gaze hardens, "They can't come here. They won't dare hurt you while you are here with us. They cannot get by the soldiers watching Alma and I." She seems resolute.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' It would be interesting to see Kyra at work. He always has been curious over Kyra's SCIENCE activities. He'll have to take a closer peek when he can. After all, a curious mind tends to wander. ...Save for unusual distractions. The boy brightens at Kyra's reassurance. "Thank you..." The smile grows. However, just as the smile grows, it wanes as his eye cast a sadden look to where that yellow luster loses its color. "...Sanel does not know why. Sanel remembers those templars when they surrounded him." "... It all felt strangely familiar." 

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' Sanel will be introduced to the wonderful world of making fiberglass. Such a thing should be easy to do in Archades, right? What with all that technology they have here. She'd have to carefully warn Sanel away from eating the cotton candy-like material. She remains firm in her declaration that Sanel will be safe here, if only because Alma's presence has merited quite a bit of attention. Of course, they didn't have to know that Alma wasn't here, did they? Kyra was actually kind of worried that if they did, they'd leave completely. Kyra didn't have the same VIP status in Archades. Kyra frowns and motions for Sanel to sit on the couch with her. "They've come for you before?"

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' The lusterous yellow eye fades in color as Sanel starts recollecting about the encounter. "Nnn. Sanel was wandering, found himself within the crossroads. It was then that Sanel saw many templars on horses. Sanel tried to offer them candy, but they all surrounded Sanel and pointed their spears at him." The eye lowers, "...Sanel does not know why that they were trying to harm him. It seems strange that many people would be sent out to hunt a single boy." He furrows his eyebrows. "Even stranger that they all seemed prepared." 

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' Kyra motions at him again, beckoning him to come over and sit down next to her on the couch. She wanted to really look him in the eye as he spoke. Especially with that glow-though that could be just part of his otherworldly nature? That could also be why the Church was so interested, right? "I agree that is strange and very cruel. Maybe it is because you..you're not quite human? I don't understand why that would be a problem for these churches because they were not hume exclusive." She sets these thoughts aside, "Can you remember anything else, Sanel?"

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Beckoned by Kyra, Sanel soon joins her over at the couch and he sits next to her. His posture shifts to where his entire body faces her with is undivided attention. This is rare, considering that something will always distract him pretty quickly. "Sanel is not human? Maybe. Sanel does not know. He is not like other children. Sometimes, Sanel feels distant because of that. ... It feels like Sanel lost that feeling long ago, which is why it feels so distant." He is uncertain. Everytime he plays with the kids out in some of the villages, part of him feels so distant and longing. Maybe he lost something? "Sanel... only remembers very few things." He shuts his eyes, "...A song that he was asked not to sing by Snow Mouse King. He said it brings Sanel pain, even if he doesn't remember. ... A tomb." His eyes shut, "...A smiling girl. It is faint. It reminds Sanel of Almmy, but without the glasses. Sanel doesn't know this girl. However, it feels very familiar." "...And sometimes, Sanel sometimes thinks he is in a cage." 

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' She's not unfamiliar with Sanel's mayfly-like attention span. It's adorable, on one hand, but frustrating on the other. With how he's behaving right this second, she has to wonder, though. Maybe it was a burden he could overcome. Gently, she reaches over and puts on of her hands on top of his. She doesn't try to grab or pull back to look at the scars she knows it there. She doesn't stare at the suspicious collar around his neck. "I think you are special, Sanel, which is why they're coming for you. I don't know that church very well so I don't know why they want to hurt you so bad." She carefully explains, then falls silent to allow Sanel to work through his stream of conscious memory recall. So there was a girl that Alma reminded her of. Interesting. "What is this song, Sanel?"

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Sanel is comforted as Kyra rests a hand on top of his. His eye gazes at her with a faint smile growing. "..Nngh." The thoughts about the church has been why Sanel has grown a bit wary of large crowds of people. He hasn't been to the point of panicing again. However, the boy looks at Kyra carefully with a sad smile. "Ah... the song." Sanel shuts his eyes for a brief moment. He lifts his head up, the feeling of the song starts to hum from the child. "o/~ Where are you, my light? Farther from my hand? o/~ I reach out to you and... call you to my arms. o/~ For that day that you will stay with me tonight... o/~ And guard me from the darkness that haunts me.... o/~"

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' Sanel receives a smile back from Kyra. She's calm, hiding her worrisome thoughts from her face. Those thoughts really weren't getting her anywhere at the moment anyway-she needed to know more about Sanel. Maybe a blood sample would reveal something? She'll ask him later. For now she lets him sing, hoping it would be cathartic. It's a nice song, she realizes, and it seems a shame to forbid him from singing it. "Go on." she whispers.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' The song comes to an abrupt end. "Sanel does not remember the rest of the song." The boy furrows his eyebrows, "It feels... incomplete. Parts missing. Sanel does not remember the rest. Sanel always sang it because... it was some sort of reminder." The young boy furrows his eyebrows, "...Though, Sanel is not sure if he wants to remember anything else. It feels like each piece he explores, it grows darker... and darker. As a dark veil covering him like a blanket." The eye loses that bright color, "...It is why Sanel felt the need to make new memories." 

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' Perhaps it would be easier to cross a bridge upon coming upon it. "It's a nice song, Sanel, but..." she hesitates, disliking the approach that would lead her away from knowledge. But, however, for Sanel's safety it sounded like the best, "...he has a point, if it makes you feel darker and unhappy, then don't sing it." She smiles warmly at Sanel, "As lomg as you're with Alma and I, we'll see that you get some nice new memories, alright?" Leaning forward, she hugs Sanel tightly.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' The streets of Archades is one that is filled with dreariness. The district is in shambles, casted in destitue as many of the buildings had been left in disrepair. This is also the district where the more weary and the nefarious lurk. Crime is high in the districts, theft and black market rings are popular. After all, the ease of getting difficult things is marketable. This location, Sanel is able to recall that the Hyral sisters live here. The young boy wandered around for a long time. ...Now? Sanel is sprawled out against a building, looking pretty dizzied. Steam is pouring from his body as the spacey eyes wander. "Sanel is hot...." He complains. The boy with the oversized coat wants to find the Hyral Sisters, but he is currently tuckered out. 

:'''[[Alma Hyral]] has posed:''' When out and about around town Alma Hyral was wearing a wider assortment of clothing as of late, and right now she was wearing a simple yellow sundress with floral print, with a skirt that actually went just past her knees. It was rather conservative for the world they came from, but by the draconian standards of her family on Galianda it would have been quite scandalous. Luckily her parents hadn't come out of the darkness.. yet. The thought alone gave her sweatdrops. On her head was a straw hat, of the like one might see on a tropical Isle, with her hair down. And on her feet was a pair of sandals. Since it was around twilight, it wasn't /scathingly/ hot for her, and she was quite comfortable after she'd slathered some of Kyra's homebrew sunscreen/lotion on her excessively pale skin that she'd introduced her to at the Magmatic Research Facility.(Still can't say Volcano Lair. Dratted Censors) Since crime was indeed quite high in Lower Archades, she took her detail with her, a pair of Archadian military who'd been assigned to protect her from... certain practitioners of evil /SCIENCE/. However, they remained about a block behind her, following at a languid pace, as Alma had pretty much instructed them that she didn't /need/ protection from the average person who came up to her. At their current distance they'd have more than enough time to react anyhow to the typically flamboyant assassination attempts by mad /SCIENCE/. She'd radio'ed Kyra to allow her to know she was heading to the market to pick up some more necessary cleaning chemicals, and mogbreeze... something they needed an adequate supply of due to /SCIENCE/ occurring in their apartment. It was on the way there, that she spied Sanel up against the building, which caused her to do a double take, adjusting her glasses, she managed a cheerful smile, "There you are Sanel. I'm glad that you're okay. With how you ran off from Chuchu I wasn't able to catch up." She approached with a sort of languor herself, before examining him, "Are you alright?" Her gaze becomes more scrutinizing, as she looks for signs of heat exhaustion. Eventually she reached into the satchel at her side and pulled out a canteen, filled with water... you didn't live in a desert city without keeping one of these around at all times! She offered it to him after unscrewing the top.

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' Sunscreen is a fantastic thing and an essential invention for any of Ramuha that dares venture off their continent. The city of the endless storm never sees the sunshine, producing citizenry with typically very pale skins that veered into green and grey hues as well. This heat was pretty rotten to Kyra, far too used climate-controlled labs and classrooms. With little inhibitions of her own, she's gone for a /much/ shorter skirt than her sister, though not one short enough that she starts flashing panties when she bends over or sits down. She's also avoiding going outside like the plague. This little Hyral stayed home right now and was all too happy for Alma to be doing the shopping today. In fact, she even gave Alma a thing or two that she would like her little sister to pick up while she's out. Right now? She's sprawled out on the couch at their apartment, running an electric fan right in front of her face.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Unfortunately, Sanel does not do too well against the molten hot weather. The heatwave easily overcomes Sanel, leaving him a sprawled out mess. With Alma getting so close to him, the boy's single eye lifts up to see her. It examines her, then he leans forward to wrap his arms around her. However, Alma will find that the strength behind that hug is there. In fact, the boy is pretty limp in the hug, weaken like a wet noodle. The boy is leaning his head against Alma, "Sanel's Almmy... Sanel found his Almmy..." The boy manages to get a sip of the water, slowly regaining some sort of revitaliation. However, Sanel is still pretty weak. Steam is emitting from his body, showing physical signs of draining the boy of his strength. 

:'''[[Alma Hyral]] has posed:''' Alma seems, shocked, that Sanel had almost no strength within his grip. Even though he was treating her a lot more delicately as of late, she could still always sense the power that he was supressing in his arms whenever he hugged her. It always carried just a little discomfort. There was none here. "Shh, shh. You did. Don't worry about a thing. I'm going to take care of you..." ...and despite Sanel being smaller kilo for kilo than her, the chances of her physically carrying him was out of the question. Sick as he might be, he probably was still stronger than she was physically. This left two options. Magic, which might upset and disturb the populace, or her guards which might upset Sanel... She chose the latter given the current situation, putting a hand to her linkpearl and stating something frantically, before stating to Sanel. "Sanel, these men are going to help get you back to our home. Don't hurt them, okay? Let them help you." The two men approached quickly, one of them lifting up Sanel assuming that he let them. He was large enough that he could likely carry his weight with ease. And then Alma was making her way back home as fast as her feet could carry her, with the men carrying Sanel right behind her, assuming he'd let them. She'd be running, if not for the fact that she was a terrible klutz, in a dress, and not athletic in the least. She radio'ed Kyra on the way with a brief message, "I found Sanel, it looks like he's suffering an extreme form of heat stroke. He's an advanced Ice Magic practitioner. I'll explain the rest when I get there. Can you prepare an ice bath for him? Don't know what sort of creations you have available for this." About ten minutes later they were back home, as Alma fumbled with the keys before finally opening the door...

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' Sprawled out on the couch, Kyra only wishes it were cool enough to drift off into a nap. But in these conditions, the sickening heat made that nigh impossible. She twisted and turned, contemplating just stripping completely or taking a cold bath to find some relief. She can feel her exposed skin sticking to the couch she lies on and it disgusts her immensely. On the low table next to her couch sits her ma belle, a complicated device that almost reaches the level of sophistication she was accustomed to in Galianda. The device remains untouched until it vibrates and emits a thumping sound. Scrambling, she reaches over, recognizing the ringtone she set for her sister. It's a ringtone she hears pretty often, actually. "Heat stroke?" she murmurs, sitting up suddenly, "I have some stuff. I'll be ready." INSERT SCIENCE SPINNY HERE. NANANANANA~ There is an ice bath set up. The interior of the apartment they share has also become several degrees cooler. Several bottles of water stand by in addition to a few test tubes set up in a rack, each containing some mysterious, glowing blue liquid. Kyra paces back and forth in an agitated fashion, though her anxiousness isn't out of anger, but of concern for Sanel's well being. Alma will find the door yanked open by Kyra before she can fumble those keys into the lock, "Come in, come in. The ice bath is over there. Get him into it."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' As the heat's strength continues to consume Sanel, the boy's body became weaker. The heat stroke is enough to leave Sanel in a feeble position. What is comforting to hear is that Alma is telling him that she will take care of him. She is here for him. That is enough to make the boy happy. However, when the guards show up, Sanel's eyes widen at the sight of two men approaching him. There is already a paniced look on his face, the flash back of many strange men approaching closer. Those men with weapons directed at him, closing in. As much as Sanel wanted to fight it... "No... go-go away. Sanel does not like---..." ...He was too tired and to weak to fight. This allowed the two men to carry the boy with ease. The boy is barely even five feet and is amazingly light. As those minutes pass, it allows for Alma to fumble with the keys while the guards take a pliant boy. As the door is yanked open, the single visible eye looks at Kyra, reaching out to her with a giggle. The voice sounds delirious, but the cheerfulness is still there. "Mog Ky~ Sanel misses Mog Ky~" In fact, the boy is reaching out to her. It is short lived when he slumps over from the guard's shoulder. Yet, the boy can feel a bit of the cool air, which fights against the heat. However, with the distance so far away, Sanel is unable to rejuvinate. 

:'''[[Alma Hyral]] has posed:''' Feeling the chill in the apartment, Alma gives Kyra an inquisitive look, "Liquid Nitrogen?" But already she's directing the guards to lay down Sanel in the ice bath, which they do, with the sound of shifting ice cubes and light sloshing in the chilled water. She then bids them to wait outside, which they do, shutting the apartment door behind them. Then she's cursing in a soft voice, "Chaos /damnit/ Kyra. Had I known that the heat would do this to him I wouldn't have ever allowed him to come looking for us here. I'm a complete moron!" She rubs her hands against each other as they get closer to the ice bath. Now that he's stabilizing in the bath she casts a simple Libra spell. Perhaps the simplest spell all White Mages learn to get some inkling of an idea of what's going on in that body of his. "Something about what he is.. makes him a skilled natural practitioner of ice magic. Probably as a result of whatever.. experiments made him what he is. Like, he can do amazing things. Sculpt ice wings out of ice that allow him to fly. Create a field full of snow instantly on a sunny day. Ice skate on a rink he creates for himself..." She rubs one of her temples, her voice growing even softer, more muted, "...and so it should have occurred to me that desert heat might do this to him."

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' The expression on Kyra's face becomes even more grim as Sanel is brought in, looking quite boneless. Right away, she motions for the guard to place Sanel in the ice bath, which is set up in a big metal basin that she's dragged into the center of the room. Kyra shakes her head, "No, a few other tricks. I don't exactly have liquid nitrogen lying around very often." And Kyra liked to save that material for actual SCIENCE. Once Sanel is in the tub, she goes to stand next to him, reaching for that hand he had been holding out to her. "This reaction reminds me of stories I hear of Shivans or Ramuhas going to Ifriti." Kyra remarks. "Neither of them can handle heat this extreme well. I know I'm not handling it well." Alma reviews several of the talented things Sanel seems to do with his ice magic, "That's quite a bit of mastery. Maybe it's something..." she looks to the boy, "...innate?"

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' The guards lay the boy down within te ice bath, allowing him to become more cooled off. Thankfully, the presence of the ice that makes the atmosphere calming. As the boy relaxes in the bath, he can feel some of his strength return. There are even signs of the steam that originally rose from his body subsiding. However, he grimaces over the muddy, wet oversized coat. Slowly, Sanel undoes the coat and he tosses it out of the bath, still exhausted. Strangely enough, the boy has a well-toned body in the sense that some adults would have if they worked from labor. With the coat removed, the scars are more visible along the arms. Granted, he is wearing a tight, sleeveless black shirt underneath. The most visible thing, however, is what is around his neck: An ominous looking collar. It is a black collar that is wrapped around his neck. In a way, this collar looks like it is embedded into his skin. At the center of the device is a gem of sort. The strangest thing, moreso than most, is that the collar appear to be breathing.

:'''[[Alma Hyral]] has posed:''' She responds to Kyra in a speculative voice, "Yeah, it definitely.. seems like that to some extent, but this.. I mean /steam/ was rising off him in the heat when he was outdoors, Kyra. That's not normal heat stroke." And after a moment's thought, "Innate? Maybe, he might come from a unique world but.. this might have been something that was implanted into him too." The sight of Sanel without his coat, covered with those scars, causes her to inhale a sharp breath.... Even though she'd seen absurd amounts of cruelty as of late, her initial reaction was still shock in regards to who would do this to a child. Images of hundreds of bodies stacked like cordwood give her the answer a moment later. But it's the collar that attracts her attention most of all. She gets a little closer to it, but doesn't do anything to it, not even trying the simplest of magic on it to get some inkling of what it actually is, "...Kyra, take a look at this. It.. looks like it has a respiratory rate. Effort. I think it's alive."

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' Letting go of Sanel's hand, Kyra steps over to their kitchen table and grabs a pair of chairs to drag over so both she and Alma can sit next to the ice bath. She watches the boy very carefully, occasionally touching his forehead to feel his temperature. When he struggles to pull the coat off, Kyra moves to help him. There are those scars again. Kyra remembers observing them before when she first met the boy in Vector. "Yes, innate, like a racial ability. Enhanced ice magic-because those things are quite advanced. It'd take decades of study for a black mage to replicate them." she says, helping the coat off and tossing it aside. That thing would need a good washing later. For a few seconds she's faced with a sudden dilemma. Sanel was pretty well built beneath that coat. Riku, however, looked pretty well-built as well. Physically, both of them would be suitable candidates for Alma. Whoever is chosen would need to be strong and capable. Those thoughts are discarded as Alma calls attention to the collar. She leaps in, brushing aside some of Sanel's hair as she looks. "You may be right." she says, actually deigning to poke the collar with a finger.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' "...Sanel found Almmy and Mog Ky. Sanel is very happy now..." That was the one thing that was important to him. After all, they told him to come back and see him. This was likely not the ideal way of encountering them again, but he was happy all the same. Even as Kyra touches his forehead, the young boy relaxes against her hand. Although the young amnesiac was slightly dizzy, more of his strength started to return. As he lies within the ice bath, the energy gathers around the boy. Already, Kyra and Alma may notice that the inside of their house is becoming cooler. After all, Sanel dislikes the heat. With the ice bath, it is his own battery to charge him and to stave off the heat. Kyra's findings upon brushing his hair away from the face will reveal that the mass of hair covers a burned portion of his face. It is a scar, likely heat-related that covers that entire face. There is the revelation of his other eye, which is unlike the normal, visible yellow eye she will instead find it as a monsterous slit. It's almost beastial. As for the collar, it twitches. ...One can hear a hiss emit. 

:'''[[Alma Hyral]] has posed:''' When Kyra drags over the chairs, she pulls her up so that she's almost literally touching the ice bath with her legs, having a seat. She idly places a hand within Sanel's, just squeezing it gently. "I mean... maybe. It's possible that he could have been born with it.. it would have made him an ideal candidate for..." The words die in her throat as Kyra pushes away Sanel's hair.. and reveals the monstrous slit. Her hand slides away form Kyra's, as she creeps forward off her chair, standing to peer over it before stating in a low voice, with the timbre in it indicating anger, "What do you make of it, Kyra?" Alma's hand moves to lightly feel the scarred, rough skin around the eyeslit. And then Kyra pokes the eye, and it hisses. Her hand moves away from Sanel's face in an instant. And then she's casting a simple Libra spell on the collar.. trying to ascertain anything about it. If it was alive, she might be able to get some information from the diagnostic spell. "...Sweet Cosma, have you ever seen anything like that before, Kyra?"

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' Why yes, Kyra DOES notice their apartment becoming cooler. Kyra actually assumes this is due to the extra precautions that she has put in place and not any act of Sanels. Sanel is starting to look a whole lot better now-and she didn't even need to break out the special cooling formula in the test tubes. As she watches this, she ponders getting more ice and adjusting the directions of the fans in the room. These thoughts cease when she brushes away that hair to reveal significant burn scars underneath. Not only that, but the eye, which definitely is not a human eye, on that side of the face. Ever so slowly, Kyra pulls her hand back. The poking finger retreats much faster. "No, I..." her voice drops, "...I don't think he's human. That I-" she points at the collar, "...well that's obviously not human. Maybe a genetically modified snake of some kind?"

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' There is poking, prodding, and so much going on. Sanel is mostly unaware of it. However, the collar is sensing it. The collar can feel the presence of people around. The more people are aware of it, the more vicious it is becoming. In fact, as the Libra spell is activating on the 0thing... Alma's data-gathering will reveal that there are some dark properties about it. Whatever the properties are, it is not natural. In fact, there are indications that it is man-made, if not through alchemy. Nevertheless, the hiss becomes an inhumane screech before several sparks fly out towards both Kyra and Alma, given that they are in the vicinity. However, Sanel gets it worse, given that it looks like it tightens for a brief moment and the sparks engulf him. The boy shrieks, clutching his own throat before the moment passes. THe collar eases on the hold and it is back to a more plaint state. "... Sanel is hurting." The boy clutches his chest, resting the hand on his heart. "...Sanel does not know why. It feels... familiar." The color on his eye fades, through he looks at Kyra and Alma. "...Sanel does not remember, but does not like..." His had moves to his neck, feeling that collar. "...Sanel is scared." 

:'''[[Alma Hyral]] has posed:''' "Maybe a genetically engineered symbiotic ectoparasite? It certainly doesn't seem mutualistic, their relationship...." She leans down to get an idea of how it attaches to his skin, "...maybe a mesoparasite, it could go beneath the skin." As her spell takes effect, she snatches her hand back, "Kyra....no white magic near it. None at all. This is..." Then it screeches and she actually takes a quick step back so fast that she knocks over her chair, a hand upon her chest. Sanel's scream is telling, and while she desires nothing more than to take the pain away, she realizes that a kneejerk reaction here would cause more harm than good. It's only once he stops screaming that she relates to Kyra in a soft voice, "...it's alchemical I think. And aligned with the darkness. If we use any white magic on him it could.. set it off..." Once Sanel stops screaming, she moves back towards the tub, putting her hand over his, and squeezing gently, "Shh... it'll be okay...." She brushes back his hair over the monstrous eyeslit, with her opposite hand. "...there's no need to be scared. It's over now. We're not going to let anything else happen." She doesn't intend any further examination herself, fearing what might happen if she did. She tries not to even look at the collar, despite it's eye closing.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' The pain is slowly ebbing away. However, it is enough of a warning for Sanel, if not a reminder. However, what the collar is reminding him of, even he doesn't know. This leaves him shaking in fear, wanting to curl up and get away from everythig. He is pliant. The collar is pliant, mostly because it is back to is dormant stage. While Sanel continues to shake, Alma gets his attention by squeezing his hand. The boy leans against Alma's hand, nuzzling against it happily. "..Nn." Sanel lowers his head, "... Sanel finds that it is part of something that he no longer wants to be a part of. Sanel does not know why it is here. Sanel does not know why he is the way he is. ...Snow Mouse King was right. Sanel wants to look forward. ...Sanel wants nothing to do with ... what is stuck to him."

:'''[[Alma-Proxy]] has posed:''' When out and about around town Alma Hyral was wearing a wider assortment of clothing as of late, and right now she was wearing a simple yellow sundress with floral print, with a skirt that actually went just past her knees. It was rather conservative for the world they came from, but by the draconian standards of her family on Galianda it would have been quite scandalous. Luckily her parents hadn't come out of the darkness.. yet. The thought alone gave her sweatdrops. On her head was a straw hat, of the like one might see on a tropical Isle, with her hair down. And on her feet was a pair of sandals. Since it was around twilight, it wasn't /scathingly/ hot for her, and she was quite comfortable after she'd slathered some of Kyra's homebrew sunscreen/lotion on her excessively pale skin that she'd introduced her to at the Magmatic Research Facility.(Still can't say Volcano Lair. Dratted Censors) Since crime was indeed quite high in Lower Archades, she took her detail with her, a pair of Archadian military who'd been assigned to protect her from... certain practitioners of evil /SCIENCE/. However, they remained about a block behind her, following at a languid pace, as Alma had pretty much instructed them that she didn't /need/ protection from the average person who came up to her. At their current distance they'd have more than enough time to react anyhow to the typically flamboyant assassination attempts by mad /SCIENCE/. She'd radio'ed Kyra to allow her to know she was heading to the market to pick up some more necessary cleaning chemicals, and mogbreeze... something they needed an adequate supply of due to /SCIENCE/ occurring in their apartment. It was on the way there, that she spied Sanel up against the building, which caused her to do a double take, adjusting her glasses, she managed a cheerful smile, "There you are Sanel. I'm glad that you're okay. With how you ran off from Chuchu I wasn't able to catch up." She approached with a sort of languor herself, before examining him, "Are you alright?" Her gaze becomes more scrutinizing, as she looks for signs of heat exhaustion. Eventually she reached into the satchel at her side and pulled out a canteen, filled with water... you didn't live in a desert city without keeping one of these around at all times! She offered it to him after unscrewing the top.

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' Sunscreen is a fantastic thing and an essential invention for any of Ramuha that dares venture off their continent. The city of the endless storm never sees the sunshine, producing citizenry with typically very pale skins that veered into green and grey hues as well. This heat was pretty rotten to Kyra, far too used climate-controlled labs and classrooms. With little inhibitions of her own, she's gone for a /much/ shorter skirt than her sister, though not one short enough that she starts flashing panties when she bends over or sits down. She's also avoiding going outside like the plague. This little Hyral stayed home right now and was all too happy for Alma to be doing the shopping today. In fact, she even gave Alma a thing or two that she would like her little sister to pick up while she's out. Right now? She's sprawled out on the couch at their apartment, running an electric fan right in front of her face.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Unfortunately, Sanel does not do too well against the molten hot weather. The heatwave easily overcomes Sanel, leaving him a sprawled out mess. With Alma getting so close to him, the boy's single eye lifts up to see her. It examines her, then he leans forward to wrap his arms around her. However, Alma will find that the strength behind that hug is there. In fact, the boy is pretty limp in the hug, weaken like a wet noodle. The boy is leaning his head against Alma, "Sanel's Almmy... Sanel found his Almmy..." The boy manages to get a sip of the water, slowly regaining some sort of revitaliation. However, Sanel is still pretty weak. Steam is emitting from his body, showing physical signs of draining the boy of his strength. 

:'''[[Alma-Proxy]] has posed:''' Alma seems, shocked, that Sanel had almost no strength within his grip. Even though he was treating her a lot more delicately as of late, she could still always sense the power that he was supressing in his arms whenever he hugged her. It always carried just a little discomfort. There was none here. "Shh, shh. You did. Don't worry about a thing. I'm going to take care of you..." ...and despite Sanel being smaller kilo for kilo than her, the chances of her physically carrying him was out of the question. Sick as he might be, he probably was still stronger than she was physically. This left two options. Magic, which might upset and disturb the populace, or her guards which might upset Sanel... She chose the latter given the current situation, putting a hand to her linkpearl and stating something frantically, before stating to Sanel. "Sanel, these men are going to help get you back to our home. Don't hurt them, okay? Let them help you." The two men approached quickly, one of them lifting up Sanel assuming that he let them. He was large enough that he could likely carry his weight with ease. And then Alma was making her way back home as fast as her feet could carry her, with the men carrying Sanel right behind her, assuming he'd let them. She'd be running, if not for the fact that she was a terrible klutz, in a dress, and not athletic in the least. She radio'ed Kyra on the way with a brief message, "I found Sanel, it looks like he's suffering an extreme form of heat stroke. He's an advanced Ice Magic practitioner. I'll explain the rest when I get there. Can you prepare an ice bath for him? Don't know what sort of creations you have available for this." About ten minutes later they were back home, as Alma fumbled with the keys before finally opening the door...

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' Sprawled out on the couch, Kyra only wishes it were cool enough to drift off into a nap. But in these conditions, the sickening heat made that nigh impossible. She twisted and turned, contemplating just stripping completely or taking a cold bath to find some relief. She can feel her exposed skin sticking to the couch she lies on and it disgusts her immensely. On the low table next to her couch sits her ma belle, a complicated device that almost reaches the level of sophistication she was accustomed to in Galianda. The device remains untouched until it vibrates and emits a thumping sound. Scrambling, she reaches over, recognizing the ringtone she set for her sister. It's a ringtone she hears pretty often, actually. "Heat stroke?" she murmurs, sitting up suddenly, "I have some stuff. I'll be ready." INSERT SCIENCE SPINNY HERE. NANANANANA~ There is an ice bath set up. The interior of the apartment they share has also become several degrees cooler. Several bottles of water stand by in addition to a few test tubes set up in a rack, each containing some mysterious, glowing blue liquid. Kyra paces back and forth in an agitated fashion, though her anxiousness isn't out of anger, but of concern for Sanel's well being. Alma will find the door yanked open by Kyra before she can fumble those keys into the lock, "Come in, come in. The ice bath is over there. Get him into it."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' As the heat's strength continues to consume Sanel, the boy's body became weaker. The heat stroke is enough to leave Sanel in a feeble position. What is comforting to hear is that Alma is telling him that she will take care of him. She is here for him. That is enough to make the boy happy. However, when the guards show up, Sanel's eyes widen at the sight of two men approaching him. There is already a paniced look on his face, the flash back of many strange men approaching closer. Those men with weapons directed at him, closing in. As much as Sanel wanted to fight it... "No... go-go away. Sanel does not like---..." ...He was too tired and to weak to fight. This allowed the two men to carry the boy with ease. The boy is barely even five feet and is amazingly light. As those minutes pass, it allows for Alma to fumble with the keys while the guards take a pliant boy. As the door is yanked open, the single visible eye looks at Kyra, reaching out to her with a giggle. The voice sounds delirious, but the cheerfulness is still there. "Mog Ky~ Sanel misses Mog Ky~" In fact, the boy is reaching out to her. It is short lived when he slumps over from the guard's shoulder. Yet, the boy can feel a bit of the cool air, which fights against the heat. However, with the distance so far away, Sanel is unable to rejuvinate. 

:'''[[Alma-Proxy]] has posed:''' Feeling the chill in the apartment, Alma gives Kyra an inquisitive look, "Liquid Nitrogen?" But already she's directing the guards to lay down Sanel in the ice bath, which they do, with the sound of shifting ice cubes and light sloshing in the chilled water. She then bids them to wait outside, which they do, shutting the apartment door behind them. Then she's cursing in a soft voice, "Chaos /damnit/ Kyra. Had I known that the heat would do this to him I wouldn't have ever allowed him to come looking for us here. I'm a complete moron!" She rubs her hands against each other as they get closer to the ice bath. Now that he's stabilizing in the bath she casts a simple Libra spell. Perhaps the simplest spell all White Mages learn to get some inkling of an idea of what's going on in that body of his. "Something about what he is.. makes him a skilled natural practitioner of ice magic. Probably as a result of whatever.. experiments made him what he is. Like, he can do amazing things. Sculpt ice wings out of ice that allow him to fly. Create a field full of snow instantly on a sunny day. Ice skate on a rink he creates for himself..." She rubs one of her temples, her voice growing even softer, more muted, "...and so it should have occurred to me that desert heat might do this to him."

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' The expression on Kyra's face becomes even more grim as Sanel is brought in, looking quite boneless. Right away, she motions for the guard to place Sanel in the ice bath, which is set up in a big metal basin that she's dragged into the center of the room. Kyra shakes her head, "No, a few other tricks. I don't exactly have liquid nitrogen lying around very often." And Kyra liked to save that material for actual SCIENCE. Once Sanel is in the tub, she goes to stand next to him, reaching for that hand he had been holding out to her. "This reaction reminds me of stories I hear of Shivans or Ramuhas going to Ifriti." Kyra remarks. "Neither of them can handle heat this extreme well. I know I'm not handling it well." Alma reviews several of the talented things Sanel seems to do with his ice magic, "That's quite a bit of mastery. Maybe it's something..." she looks to the boy, "...innate?"

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' The guards lay the boy down within te ice bath, allowing him to become more cooled off. Thankfully, the presence of the ice that makes the atmosphere calming. As the boy relaxes in the bath, he can feel some of his strength return. There are even signs of the steam that originally rose from his body subsiding. However, he grimaces over the muddy, wet oversized coat. Slowly, Sanel undoes the coat and he tosses it out of the bath, still exhausted. Strangely enough, the boy has a well-toned body in the sense that some adults would have if they worked from labor. With the coat removed, the scars are more visible along the arms. Granted, he is wearing a tight, sleeveless black shirt underneath. The most visible thing, however, is what is around his neck: An ominous looking collar. It is a black collar that is wrapped around his neck. In a way, this collar looks like it is embedded into his skin. At the center of the device is a gem of sort. The strangest thing, moreso than most, is that the collar appear to be breathing.

:'''[[Alma-Proxy]] has posed:''' She responds to Kyra in a speculative voice, "Yeah, it definitely.. seems like that to some extent, but this.. I mean /steam/ was rising off him in the heat when he was outdoors, Kyra. That's not normal heat stroke." And after a moment's thought, "Innate? Maybe, he might come from a unique world but.. this might have been something that was implanted into him too." The sight of Sanel without his coat, covered with those scars, causes her to inhale a sharp breath.... Even though she'd seen absurd amounts of cruelty as of late, her initial reaction was still shock in regards to who would do this to a child. Images of hundreds of bodies stacked like cordwood give her the answer a moment later. But it's the collar that attracts her attention most of all. She gets a little closer to it, but doesn't do anything to it, not even trying the simplest of magic on it to get some inkling of what it actually is, "...Kyra, take a look at this. It.. looks like it has a respiratory rate. Effort. I think it's alive."

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' Letting go of Sanel's hand, Kyra steps over to their kitchen table and grabs a pair of chairs to drag over so both she and Alma can sit next to the ice bath. She watches the boy very carefully, occasionally touching his forehead to feel his temperature. When he struggles to pull the coat off, Kyra moves to help him. There are those scars again. Kyra remembers observing them before when she first met the boy in Vector. "Yes, innate, like a racial ability. Enhanced ice magic-because those things are quite advanced. It'd take decades of study for a black mage to replicate them." she says, helping the coat off and tossing it aside. That thing would need a good washing later. For a few seconds she's faced with a sudden dilemma. Sanel was pretty well built beneath that coat. Riku, however, looked pretty well-built as well. Physically, both of them would be suitable candidates for Alma. Whoever is chosen would need to be strong and capable. Those thoughts are discarded as Alma calls attention to the collar. She leaps in, brushing aside some of Sanel's hair as she looks. "You may be right." she says, actually deigning to poke the collar with a finger.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' "...Sanel found Almmy and Mog Ky. Sanel is very happy now..." That was the one thing that was important to him. After all, they told him to come back and see him. This was likely not the ideal way of encountering them again, but he was happy all the same. Even as Kyra touches his forehead, the young boy relaxes against her hand. Although the young amnesiac was slightly dizzy, more of his strength started to return. As he lies within the ice bath, the energy gathers around the boy. Already, Kyra and Alma may notice that the inside of their house is becoming cooler. After all, Sanel dislikes the heat. With the ice bath, it is his own battery to charge him and to stave off the heat. Kyra's findings upon brushing his hair away from the face will reveal that the mass of hair covers a burned portion of his face. It is a scar, likely heat-related that covers that entire face. There is the revelation of his other eye, which is unlike the normal, visible yellow eye she will instead find it as a monsterous slit. It's almost beastial. As for the collar, it twitches. ...One can hear a hiss emit. 

:'''[[Alma-Proxy]] has posed:''' When Kyra drags over the chairs, she pulls her up so that she's almost literally touching the ice bath with her legs, having a seat. She idly places a hand within Sanel's, just squeezing it gently. "I mean... maybe. It's possible that he could have been born with it.. it would have made him an ideal candidate for..." The words die in her throat as Kyra pushes away Sanel's hair.. and reveals the monstrous slit. Her hand slides away form Kyra's, as she creeps forward off her chair, standing to peer over it before stating in a low voice, with the timbre in it indicating anger, "What do you make of it, Kyra?" Alma's hand moves to lightly feel the scarred, rough skin around the eyeslit. And then Kyra pokes the eye, and it hisses. Her hand moves away from Sanel's face in an instant. And then she's casting a simple Libra spell on the collar.. trying to ascertain anything about it. If it was alive, she might be able to get some information from the diagnostic spell. "...Sweet Cosma, have you ever seen anything like that before, Kyra?"

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' Why yes, Kyra DOES notice their apartment becoming cooler. Kyra actually assumes this is due to the extra precautions that she has put in place and not any act of Sanels. Sanel is starting to look a whole lot better now-and she didn't even need to break out the special cooling formula in the test tubes. As she watches this, she ponders getting more ice and adjusting the directions of the fans in the room. These thoughts cease when she brushes away that hair to reveal significant burn scars underneath. Not only that, but the eye, which definitely is not a human eye, on that side of the face. Ever so slowly, Kyra pulls her hand back. The poking finger retreats much faster. "No, I..." her voice drops, "...I don't think he's human. That I-" she points at the collar, "...well that's obviously not human. Maybe a genetically modified snake of some kind?"

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' There is poking, prodding, and so much going on. Sanel is mostly unaware of it. However, the collar is sensing it. The collar can feel the presence of people around. The more people are aware of it, the more vicious it is becoming. In fact, as the Libra spell is activating on the 0thing... Alma's data-gathering will reveal that there are some dark properties about it. Whatever the properties are, it is not natural. In fact, there are indications that it is man-made, if not through alchemy. Nevertheless, the hiss becomes an inhumane screech before several sparks fly out towards both Kyra and Alma, given that they are in the vicinity. However, Sanel gets it worse, given that it looks like it tightens for a brief moment and the sparks engulf him. The boy shrieks, clutching his own throat before the moment passes. THe collar eases on the hold and it is back to a more plaint state. "... Sanel is hurting." The boy clutches his chest, resting the hand on his heart. "...Sanel does not know why. It feels... familiar." The color on his eye fades, through he looks at Kyra and Alma. "...Sanel does not remember, but does not like..." His had moves to his neck, feeling that collar. "...Sanel is scared." 

:'''[[Alma-Proxy]] has posed:''' "Maybe a genetically engineered symbiotic ectoparasite? It certainly doesn't seem mutualistic, their relationship...." She leans down to get an idea of how it attaches to his skin, "...maybe a mesoparasite, it could go beneath the skin." As her spell takes effect, she snatches her hand back, "Kyra....no white magic near it. None at all. This is..." Then it screeches and she actually takes a quick step back so fast that she knocks over her chair, a hand upon her chest. Sanel's scream is telling, and while she desires nothing more than to take the pain away, she realizes that a kneejerk reaction here would cause more harm than good. It's only once he stops screaming that she relates to Kyra in a soft voice, "...it's alchemical I think. And aligned with the darkness. If we use any white magic on him it could.. set it off..." Once Sanel stops screaming, she moves back towards the tub, putting her hand over his, and squeezing gently, "Shh... it'll be okay...." She brushes back his hair over the monstrous eyeslit, with her opposite hand. "...there's no need to be scared. It's over now. We're not going to let anything else happen." She doesn't intend any further examination herself, fearing what might happen if she did. She tries not to even look at the collar, despite it's eye closing.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' The pain is slowly ebbing away. However, it is enough of a warning for Sanel, if not a reminder. However, what the collar is reminding him of, even he doesn't know. This leaves him shaking in fear, wanting to curl up and get away from everythig. He is pliant. The collar is pliant, mostly because it is back to is dormant stage. While Sanel continues to shake, Alma gets his attention by squeezing his hand. The boy leans against Alma's hand, nuzzling against it happily. "..Nn." Sanel lowers his head, "... Sanel finds that it is part of something that he no longer wants to be a part of. Sanel does not know why it is here. Sanel does not know why he is the way he is. ...Snow Mouse King was right. Sanel wants to look forward. ...Sanel wants nothing to do with ... what is stuck to him."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' It's a Winter Wonderland! Snow flying everywhere! Throughout the southern continent, while it was cold and snow surrounded the place, it was never to the point where snowflakes continued to fall. In this case, however, the flurry continues to sprinkle down. It's not a heavy gust of wind with a harsh storm, but is instead a light fall of snow that gives a more Winter Wonderland type look to it. It is strangely devoid of chocobos. As the rumors said, something scared them off. In fact, something scared off the predatory monsters. Some hunters thought that this was a horrible monster that lurked in and have tried their luck to seek fame and gold. ...However, one hunter is leaving in a puff with a snowball hanging on his forehead. On top of a tree is the source of the commotion. Standing on a branch is a young boy who doesn't look any older than fourteen. He lies on his back, kicking his legs in the air as he giggles. "Sanel enjoyed playing with Floppy Hat Man!" ...However, everything that Sanel sees. ... He too, sees...

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Aerith found herself glad she'd brought gloves along with this whole outfit. The denim jacket though wasn't nearly enough for this cold, and she shivered just a bit. "Definitely didn't call for snow today." She reached a hand out to catch a snowflake. "But it sure is pretty. Still, it would be great if someone stopped messing with the weather. Otherwise the chocobos will be stuck inside with no room to run."

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' Occasionally, a mark is posted. While on the surface it seems like some kind of innocent investigation, generally peeling back the layers of the job revealed something much, much more sinister. So while it was 'investigate the odd snow!' up front, beneath it, who know what lurked? Actually, Kyra Hyral had an inkling of what might be causing winter weather and scaring away animals from the chocobo plains. It is a certain little boy she met. His name starts with S and it ends with anel. "He should be around here somewhere." she tells her (strangely robotic!) companion. "...so are you sure you don't have any hidden lasers or rocket launchers on you? Or a vehicle mode?"

:'''[[Louis LeBlue]] has posed:''' He too sees. And what he sees... he doesn't like. The young man needs to be retrieved. And while Louis LeBlue may not enjoy being given orders by /that man/, that doesn't mean that he shouldn't heed 'his' words. Striding across the great wintery planes of the Chocobo fields, Louis LeBlue and a small group of templars approach the singular tree Sanel finds himself in. Louis himself doesn't generally entertain the notion of using the Ma Belle technology for the sake of coordinating things. But he'll allow his subordinates to pass on directions through this particular means of communication. Seated upon a group of yellow chocobos - with Louis on a proud and massive looking black one - the templars certainly seem like a rugged bunch. A little ways off of the tree, Louis halts his Chocobo. "He should be around here somewhere! FAN OUT!" He orders the group. Heeding his word, the Templars spread out immediately, passing by the tree and ignoring the other adventurers present. They are 'not important'.

:'''[[Myla Mason]] has posed:''' Myla Mason has been hard to find lately somthing has happened and Kyra would find herself joined by Myla, yet? She's not normal he slin is silver and if you take a look her hair is made out of cabling. It looks like she's a robot of some sort. "Actually I do have a few weapons, but no launchers of a vechile mode. I'd considered upgrades but if this is fixed who knows what that would do to me." She smiles a bit before she follows along. "I'm not picking up anything ... yet."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' After a few moments of giggling, the boy slowly kicks off from the branch, floating in mid-air with both arms spread wide. "Wheee!" He cheerfully cries out. For the individuals exploring through the snowy weather, the presence is eeriely peaceful. Granted, that may be because of the threats fleeing. They all ran away. Sanel was very sad. Many of the traveling adventurers are likely to see a boy on his back, floating in the air while swinging his arms up. He's making a little 'snow angel' in mid-air. As an angel forms, the boy does a backwards 'swim' to the next space. Twisting his body around, Sanel turns to see a band of travelers. A ball starts to roll up along his hands. "More people to play with Sanel!" Witnessing a familiar face, Sanel beams happily from mid-air, "Mog Ky~! Sanel is happy to see Mog Ky with Silver Girl!" The boy beams, "Sanel has a game!!!" With the snowball in his hand, the boy spins around and around, and around... "Sanel play a game! Sanel play---!" And Sanel releases the snowball mid-spin, which goes flying. He rolls around oddly and halts with a dizzied look. "Hehehehee--" The snowball is flying through the air and through the distance... Towards the face of a Shrine Knight on top of a massive black chocobo. Sanel's eyes start to widen and his expression grows pale as he sees the sight of templars from the air. 

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Aerith blinked for a moment as the boy, apparently named Sanel, tries to make snow angel in mid-air. Oddly enough, he succeeds. She tries to talk to him, only for him to talk first, and apparently he recognizes a few people. She falls silent and observes for the time being, finding that maybe this wasn't so bad. Then he throws a snowball at a very armored, very angry-looking man. Aerith couldn't help but giggle just before she turned toward the two he'd spoken to earlier. "Friend of yours?"

:'''[[Louis LeBlue]] has posed:''' Splat goes the snowball, right to Louis' face. And if Sanel was Jack Frost, perhaps Louis would now suddenly have gotten off of his chocobo and started playing with the rest of the people. Throwing around snowballs and all that. But Sanel isn't Jack Frost. Sanel is, in Louis' eyes, a nuisance. The man has this 'I am not amused' look on his face as the snow slooowly droops down from his forehead, over his nose, and finally bounces down onto his lap. Grumpy cat could take notes from this guy. He slowly brings one hand to his lips, touches his two fingers to his teeth, and then lets fly a SHRILL whistle. The Templars which had moved away halt and turn immediately. There, they find Louis slowly bringing out his Halberd and releasing himself from the black Chocobo's sadle. The black thing has a metal harness for goodness sake! Even a helmet! A /chocobo helmet/. It looks metal. "Enough games, Sanel. Come down immediately, I'm taking you back!"

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' "Oooh, maybe if we upgrade you in this mode and you turn back, you will become a cyborg. That or you upgrades become fleshy enhancements. We should /definitely/ try this!" Kyra beams with a maniacle gleam in her eyes. It doesn't fade though, "He should be around here somewhere if he is behind this. He'll definitely ping on a magical scale." Shuddering, Kyra draws her coat closer to her. Because of the snow, she's got pants on today instead of her usual skirt. In short order, the two from Alexander Academy come across exactly who they are looking for. "Sanel! Hah, I was right, there you are." Kyra remains friendly, knowing how the boy reacts around her and can be rather receptive when it came to bad vibes. "What are you doing out here? Are you looking for chocobo to play with?" Then Sanel makes that /face/. "...Sanel...?" slowly she turns. Templars are approaching, lead by a guy on a very menacing-looking black chocobo. "Excuse me." She turns to face them, a hand on her hip. "Taking him back to /what/?"

:'''[[Myla Mason]] has posed:''' Myla Mason says "Wait are you serious about this? Oh gods, you are!" There's no more time to talk she can see the gleem there. tghere's no stoppng this. She follows along keeping alert as she goes but she seems a bit shocked at Sanel she's not really run into him before. Now there are Templars, okay this could be a problem. She does not make a hostile move but she does power her weapons internally just incase.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Frown. Sanel looks over towards the man at the ground with the snowball running down his face. And then there is also that stick. Sadface. "Bad Stick Man." Sanel droops, not looking too pleased to see this guy. Even worse, the templars have turned towards him. Sanel tenses and he slowly hovers backward to edge away from the vicinity of the gathered templars. He is quivering at the sight of the man. "Sanel... Sanel doesn't know what Bad Stick Man is talking about! Sanel does not know about where Bad Stick Man is taking Sanel back to!" His sight shoots at the Templars, "Bad Men stay away!" He shrills in his panic, the arm shaking with fright. 

:'''[[Louis LeBlue]] has posed:''' "His home." The large knight answers Kyra with a tone that implies that 'home' is: a) Not really his home. b) A bad place. c) Filled with abusive parents. d) All of the above. Having dismounted succesfully from his Chocobo, the man stabs the butt of his halberd into the ground. "Enough joking around Sanel. You're coming with me!" The man slowly paces towards Sanel, and makes a grabbing motion in an attempt to take the youngster by his upper arm. The Templars quickly begin to move on Sanel as well. They know very well of his abnormal strength, and prepare their shields in case the child resists. "Surely, if you know Sanel, then you must all be aware that he's not quite... right. I am taking him home, so he can be helped with his mental 'condition'." Louis expresses to the one who had just spoken Sanel's name with recognition to their voice's tone.

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Aerith frowned. Okay, this is not looking good. Still, she doesn't say anything just yet, trying to determine who she needs to smash across the head. She didn't know either of them, but she knew that when a bunch of guys gang up on a single individual, they are either massive bullies, or know exactly what their target is capable of. Aerith learns the latter very quickly, but does not like the feel of this man. At all. She calls forth her staff, and yet does not utilize it just yet. "And I am going to assume that this home you are taking him back to... is not really home."

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' "Of course I'm serious, Myla! We have to try it out!" OOOH A MULTIPLE CHOICE TEST. Kyra is /very good/ at test taking. Especially if it is a SCIENCE test! But here she doesn't need to make this assessment because Sanel flat out tells her that he doesn't want to go with this mysterious and probably evil guy with a black chocobo in black armor and a chocobo helmet. Seriously, who can afford a chocobo /helmet/ these days? "I know enough about Sanel." she says firmly, quickly interposing herself between Sanel and Louis, blocking his grab. "I know enough about him that if he seems afraid of something, there's definitely a good reason for it. Leave him alone." One of her hands reaches into her coat, grasping one of the weapons hidden within.

:'''[[Myla Mason]] has posed:''' Myla Mason can see where things are getting strange Sanel doesn't seem to have a full deck and the Templar being here are quite a concern to her. She's going to trust Kyra on this as she sizes up the Templars scanning them. Primitives all of them, but they likely had magic which could even things up a good deal. Also she wonders where that line of thinking even came from. She's going to have to deal with Echo sooner or later it seems. "That's enough for me then, I suggest you stand down. It would be unhealthy to do otherwise."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' While Sanel manages to lower towards the ground level, he is doing so to get towards Kyra. Yeah. Kyra. That's someone that he knows. She would be the perfect person to hide behind, especially away from the man. Unfortunately, Sanel does not make it far. The man paces himself towards the boy to grab the child by the upper arm. Stranger Danger! Bad guy! Bad guy! Even worse is the fact that the templars are moving towards him. This raises the level of anxiety because the last time he dealt with a large crowd of people surrounding him, they had halbards and swords drawn his way. This is essentially the same thing. Thankfully, Kyra imposes herself between the two. Sanel is looking directly at Louis. "Sanel does not know Bad Stick Man other than interrupting game with BunBun! Sanel was playing with BunBun and Bad Stick Man got in the way! ...Sanel does not know where this home is! ...." The boy tenses. "But Sanel is not going there!"

:'''[[Louis LeBlue]] has posed:''' "It is not my duty to analyze his home. I am merely here to return him to it." Louis answers the girls. "And might I remind you that he's the one who just scared away this area's wildlife - the Chocobos. I believe they have an even /better/ idea of when to be afraid of something, and when not to be. The man slowly draws the Halberd from the ground. And then Myla says something that... makes him grin. There's a few Templars who chuckle amongst one-another. "Excuse me?" Louis tilts his head towards Myla. "Did you just... /threaten/ me? You clearly know neither who you are dealing with here, nor the basics of math. You are /clearly/ outnumbered. The man snaps a finger, and the Templars pull out their blades from their scabbards immediately. The man then turns his attention towards Sanel. He narrows his eyes. "Enough playing around Sanel! You /will/ heed me!" Louis walks straight towards Kyra, and tries to reach past her. He seeks to do her no harm lest she gets in his way. "You do not want to stand in my way right now. This child is dangerous."

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Okay, that was enough. Aerith made her way over and joined the others. They were not in the mood for diplomacy, and this boy was scared and very able to freeze this place over if he wanted to. "Look," she said as she stopped just behind Kyra and her metal friend, "I just got here, and I can already tell you all are not the... friendly types. I don't know why you want him or what he did wrong, but I'm sure it doesn't warrant all this force." She planted one end of her staff into the cold ground. "We'll make him stop the winter. But if he doesn't want to go..." Aerith grimaced. "...he's not going."

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' "I think you should listen to what Myla's saying." Kyra says gravely. "I think it would be a good idea to leave Sanel alone." Of course she's aware that they are outnumbered! Kyra doesn't care! Technically, they had a full party meaning that dealing with superior numbers is completely feasible! As Louis starts to reach, Kyra suddenly reacts, pulling free a needlegun of some kind with a cartridge already loaded. Her free hand grasps Louis rather harshly while the other seeks to jam the point of the needle into his forearm. With a pull of the trigger, the contents are dispensed-rather painfully since the weapon was originally meant for ballistic injection at a distance. "Unfortunately for you, we're all dangerous." she says grimly, pushing him away as the agent contained therein does its work.

:'''[[Myla Mason]] has posed:''' Myla Mason smirks for a moment as she throes her cape off it's clear he's not human, close looking but it looks like her body's made out of metal rather than not and there's clear joins. "Threat? No I make promises." Her arm rises up and it morphs from a hand into a weapon of some sort as she looks at at him. "Your choice, don't way we didn't warn you." She then opens fire with her arm weapons. They start firing bolts of magic both fire and elements as she breaks into a run. "Engaging combat mode."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Louis takes a stab at Sanel's interaction with the chocobos. With wide-eyes, they swell up with comical tears. "But Sanel wanted to play with the birdies! Sanel wanted to be their friends!" And then the templars point their blades. All of the blades are drawn and the men are ready to fight. In an instant... Sanel nearly stumbles against Kyra's arm, his hand clutching over towards his heart. A grimace is stirred as he takes a sharp breath. Then, Sanel turns to face Louis as he takes a stelight up. A hand outstretches towards Louis, but this time, the frost around the hand dances along the wrist and forms into an arrow. It becomes thicker to form a lance. In an instant, everything feels whole. "I'm not going back!" That lance forms into a blast to expel against Louis to send him at a distance.

:'''[[Louis LeBlue]] has posed:''' "I do not believe it is the 'law' to be friendly, now is it?" Louis asks Aerith. "No scamper. I don't want to be having to put a young girl down onto the floor." He then looks towards Sanel. "He's /going/." Kyra's suddenly move of pulling the needlegun suddenly has the side of the staff slamming into her hand. This man's reaction speed... it's fast! He glares down at her. "Last warning." He reminds her. But his warning is quickly waylaid when Myla joins her partner in crime by firing at him. The man moves his hand up, protecting his face. The bolts of magic clatter against his heavy armor - but it's obvious enough that the magic is leaving behind a residual effect! His armor is tough, but not particularly well warded against magic. And then Sanel decides to try and go into the thick of it as well, lunging that icicle arrow at him. The lance is sent straight for Louis' shoulder - but a Templar suddenly appears at his side, protecting him with his shield. The entire Templar corps moves into formation around him. "Enough foolishness... EREDIAS!" Louis suddenly shouts at Sanel. "HEEL!"

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Aerith gritted her teeth as he rebuffed her statement. So he thought he was the law around here... such arrogance. This world wasn't even his. In fact, that armor reminded her of someone else's... someone she knew, and was even friendly with. Someone who people like these men had led into a trap. Her eyes narrowed, but she said nothing else. No, words would not suffice for men like these. So as the attack began, she readied her weapon... only to blink at the name he'd given Sanel. Eredias? She glanced over at the boy as he attempted an attack. His aura was far different now than it was before. She'd sensed something, sure, but not like this. Aerith turned her attention back to the battle, her face resolute as she went after one of the other templars. No, she would let them handle the big guy. Aerith made it her primary goal to keep his friends out of the fight.

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' "I think our choice is clear!" Kyra says cheerfully as the arm is torn from her hand and the dart instead imbeds itself in the ground at their feet. To Kyra's credit, she doesn't drop her weapon-which is good. Frankly, she was going to be needing them. She steps back at that, unwilling to be put in the way of Sanel's ice. This attack gives her time to set up for further dealing with this guy. She seems undeterred by the formation of templars behind Louis. Even worse, she seems...encouraged by this. Because from beneath her coat comes more of her magical little toys. Magical little toys like.... EXPLOSIVES.

:'''[[Myla Mason]] has posed:''' Myla Mason says "You already had it." She does not find she's under assault yet but when Louis shouts a command? She get concerned just what is going on. Why did he do that? She does not think about this too much as she morphs her arms once more. She morphs her arm again and it turns into a blade she dashes in after Kyra starts tossing the bomb moving into rapidly strike at Louis with the blade. "That all? Going to keep that smug look on your face like that?" She flips back hopefully before he can stage a counter attack but given how skilled the Templar likely is it's very likely he'll be able to strike before the robot girl can make her escape.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' When the templar flanks in to shield the blow for the Shrine Knight, Sanel quickly steps back to distance himself, lest he wants to be in the grabbing distance of the polearm wielder. In that effort, something else came. 'Eredias..' Sanel falls completely silent, that aura fades and that feeling of wholeness slips away. However, that phrase stabs out at him. "Ngghh!" Sanel finds himself clutching his heart once more. At the same time, he hunches over and recoils away from Kyra. He takes several steps away, his focus now falling onto his hands. The youthful hands that just stretches out. "...Sanel sees red... lots of red. It won't stop. Thick red water keeps running. No... not water. It won't stop running...!" The expression is filled with horror with a heavy streak of traumatization. The boy drops to his knees, the boy becomes paralyzed with fear. 

:'''[[Louis LeBlue]] has posed:''' Aerith's attempts at knocking a Templar aside is met with a shield being bashed her way from one of those in formation. These are trained soldiers! And not the lame NPC kind either. These NPC Templars... THEY HAVE NAMES ABOVE THEIR HEADS! Kyra has far more luck 'thinning' the ranks. While Louis manages to get away with a pole-vaulting motion, the Templars behind him put up their shields. They aren't that used to modern weaponry like /explosives/. So when the little things sputter and rattle above them in the air, it sends the whole bunch rolling back like a bunch of roley-poleys. Louis quickly brings up his Halberd when Myla comes in, blocking the blade with the sharp end of the pole. The two are left testing one-another's strength for a moment, before the man pushes her aside. But not before she manages to get a quick swipe at his cheek. The man then glances towards Sanel. "HEED MY COMMAND!" Louis calls out at Sanel. What a /pitiful/ boy. It almost makes Louis feel sorry for him. Almost. If it wasn't for the giant headaches he'd caused him in the past! "HEEL!" He demands once again. Like someone calling at a dog. Awaiting a reaction, Louis finally /turns on his opponents/. So far, he's not attempted to strike at them with any intent to harm. That now has changed. "You have foresworn my warnings. Now you will understand why nobody stands before Louis LeBlue!" The man slowly raises his Halberd... and then suddenly rushes in towards Aerith with his other hand stretched back. The movement is quick, almost inhumanly so, as he aims to strike straight for her stomach and bend her in half. Not waiting even for a fraction of a second, he pushes off shortly there-after and strikes with the blunt of his staff at Kyra's midrif in an attempt to knock her into Myla, and then grabs a blade from a nearby templar -- dragging it straight from their scabbard, and throws it at Myla's morphed arm. "What kind of demon magic is that!?"

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Spirits, he was fast! Before she could react, he was on top of her, and she found herself knocked a few feet back. The only thing really saving her was her plowing her staff into the ground, forcing herself to a halt. Aerith glared at him as he barked at the boy, telling him to heel as if he were some kind of animal. Okay, fine. That was the last straw. Aerith reached into her jacket, downed a potion, and whirled her staff to take another stance before charging into the ranks of the templars again. All she had to do was get them out of the way.

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' "Don't you dare talk to him that way!" Kyra calls back, "Sanel is not some /beast/!" she would have noticed by now, clearly, given how often the boy is over at their house. While she did peg him as some kind of magical being, a beast that could just be commanded was not it. She would say something else but the air is suddenly knocked out of her. She doesn't fall onto Myla so much as she just drops to the ground. A groan escapes her as blood starts to leak out of the corner of her mouth. "I got this." she mutters, picking herself back up, groping around but not finding her gun. She must've dropped it somewhere. Struggling, she picks herself back up and clamps her hands together. Between her palms, darkness begins to squirm and crawl. Pain channeled into the spell makes it grow further until she has an enormous seething mass of darkness between her hands. Relentlessly, it is unleashed upon Louis himself.

:'''[[Myla Mason]] has posed:''' Myla Mason says "It's more magitech than anything." She's noe attemping to make anotehr strikle but the blade seems to score home at this poitn it teats into her arm leaving a strange effect there's sparks and leaking fluid that is anything but blood. It seems to be acting as such but it's clearly not red it's black and slick others things leak from the wound which is yellow in colour. "Damn... it." Damage warnings go up on her internal hudd as she starts the knight own and she tries to engage some recovery systems but now what's happenign to Sanel, this has just got bad, this is getting nearly as bad as how things went down with the Horned King in China.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Unfortunately, Sanel was so deep into his trauma that he was unable to notice the turn of events. The explosions, the fight itself against the templars. His friend and everyone was fighting... ...for him. That is when Louis strikes down his friend. The others that fought for him...? Sanel was unhappy. However, seeing Kyra struck down by the man? ... Both eyes widen in shock. Someone hurt Kyra. His Mog Ky. His Big Sis. His bride's sister. > MURDER.EXE Sanel closes his eyes, everything around him becomes calm. Suddenly, the temperature around the area is no longer that Winter Wonderland. It is becoming colder, even to the point of reaching below zero. The ground around becomes encased with ice and the wind becomes fierce. Everything around Sanel... becomes chilly. 

:'''[[Louis LeBlue]] has posed:''' Aerith continues to be met by a wall of Templars! Only this time, she makes a lot more head-way. The first hits of her staff do little against their shields. But because of the damage that had been done by the explosives earlier, the Templars end up getting whacked over the head by the staff-wielding girl. Whack! It bounces on one of their helms. WHACK! One of them goes down surprisingly! It's kind of pitiful. Maybe the player gave that one a default name. Kyra follows this up by trying to lock screaming pain and darkness into Louis. The man pulls the shield off of the fallen Templar and braces for impact, letting the wave of darkness clash against the shield while running onto Kyra's position and attempts to slam the shield into her head in an attempt to make her 'stop casting magic'. "Foul magic, 'tis!" He declares. "Stop using magic and fight like a /REAL/ warrior!" Louis demands. The man notices the temperature drop, and turns towards Sanel. "Finally ready to heed my commands? If you stall any longer, I will need to continue hurting these people! Stop doing this and just come with me! Come on, Sanel!" At least he's using his proper name. Louis isn't Heartless. He then turns upon the group and raises his halberd for a moment. "BEHOLD!" He declares, before jumping into the air. The Templars suddenly all scramble the /hell/ out of there. The man rises into the air, and at the pinacle of his jump, be brings the halberd down... and just lets himself drop. With quaking power, the man hits the ground - the Halberd sends literal cracks through the earth. The ground splits here and there, trying to swallow up our heroes. Is that not magic!? Or is that truly just brute strength!? NO HUMAN IS THAT STRONG!! The man then speeds straight out towards the girls, trying to grab Aerith by the leg and throw her around like a ragdoll, before throwing the Halberd itself - which he'd plucked from the ground again - straight for Kyra's midrif! It seems Myla gets off a little more lucky... for now. "It matters not what your magic is! It will fall before my blade! Now bow at my feet, or be destroyed!"

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Somehow, Aerith expects it this time. She waits for him to come down. Almost counts the seconds until just before impact. Then, she jumps. It's all she does, but it counts for far more than just sitting there. The thunderous explosion of the earth does little to faze her, and it did the job of getting his guards out of the way. He moved to grab her, and got met with a boot to his face while she was in mid air, just before she used him as a launching pad. Up, over, and right behind him. "How about no." Aerith turned and made to ram the back quarter of her staff into the side of his head, then followed up with a wide sweep of her weapon. The intent? To knock him toward the others like some kind of baseball.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' The Calm Before the Storm. As the boy remains ominous glow of the eye beneath his blue hair. And the man rises to the air... And brings forth the storm. As the earth rumbles beneath the feet of the mortals, the rippling ground tears apart to devour the heroes. However, as the rumbling earth quickly envelops towards Kyra... Sanel has blinked out of existence and re-appears in front of Kyra, sweeping his hand forth to project a wall of ice to appear in front of him. That ice rises and manifest beneath his feet to form a stalwart wall. Fragments of the shards creates a bit of a scratch on Sanel's face. However, just as the wound was there, it closes itself. Just as Louis brings the halberd out to strike at Kyra's midrift, Sanel flicks ahand out. ---A wire is revealed. The hand whips around, the wire trailing out along his arm. The simple thin string moves past Kyra's head, only to lash out towards the wall of ice that stopped the earth as well as the rest of the ravaged earth. Like a hot knife through butter, the ice and the risen earth is cleaved apart, breaking into smaller shards. The boy then whips that arm up to have the wire coil towards Louis's halbard to prevent Kyra from being on the receiving end of the weapon. Instead, Sanel bullets his way towards Louis; his form blinking out of existence and re-appearing in front of the man at a very close range. A roundhouse kick snaps out towards Louis's stomach, a trail of ice following through along with the kick, then Sanel leans forward to send a hand lashing out towards the Shrine Knights arm. The movements of his hands are a blurr; filled with precision and intent. They strike out towards the nerve of his elbow, then the boy whips his hand out to thrust his wire coiled arm towards Louis to yank him into the air. 

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' "Not enough, huh." Kyra will have to intensify the darkness...though a part of her was still afraid. Helena had warned her that it was easy to lose control of the darkness at her command. Easy to go overboard. But right now it didn't feel like she could go overboard enough. "You idiot, magic is my power! I'm Kyra Hyral! I am the greatest mage of Alexander Academy and the most brilliant scienist!" she evades the shield just barely and slips sideways. Given what time she has, she focuses, tapping upon her wild but vast magical energy within her. In start contrast to seconds ago, bright white growing before her. She only has seconds. Seconds before the earth threatens to swallow her up. Seconds before a halbred is hurled into her gut. But before this can happen... Ice surrounds her to break the incoming earth. Sanel appears in a form she has never witnessed before and, in seeing it now was actually quite frightening coming from the usually sweet boy. "S....sanel..!" she gasps, momentarily stunned. Then she immediately refocuses and sends her holy energy skyward. A moment or so passes before it descends in an enormous blast from above.

:'''[[Myla Mason]] has posed:''' Myla Mason is so badly hurt, damaged whatever you wish to call it? She's hurting very badly and she can feel it. It's not in the way she can feel pain like before and somethign else is happening too from all the damage. "I'm not...dead yet. Templar..." A warning appears across her display as it engages something she's not even sure what it is, sudeenly wires snake out of her body flying fgor ouis intent to latch on to his body and start leeching life force from him to super charge her own recovery. Mayla's not even thinking about this and it will be a moment before she understands just what she did, for now she just doesn't want to die.

:'''[[Louis LeBlue]] has posed:''' @emit "Oooof!" That was Louis when Aerith met his face with her /boot/. Women's boots too! To get jumped on afterwards only annoys him further. Of course, by the time she's down again, he's already gone again -- on his way to his targets. Or rather... TARGET. Sanel! He's gotten in the way of his strike! /That Man/ had told him that he could control him if he used /that word/. "Why you little!...." Louis hisses. Sanel whips his Halberd out of the way, and Sanel goes straight for him. But this is where Sanel is clearly underestimating him... that is, if the little squirt is even 'thinking' at this point in time anymore. Louis throws his hand straight forward and grabs Sanel by the face right in the middle of one of his attempts to disappear. Sanel tries to pull one of his wires around Louis, but the man immediately throws the boy away before he has a chance. This gives Kyra her chance! "Even the greatest mage is nothing before MY BLADE!" Louis boasts, grabbing for his own side and slowly pulling out his Katana blade. Things are serious when Louis actually grabs for his actual sword. The magic shines with a strange reflective quality. The man takes a single step back, goes through his knees... and then, just as Kyra's spell comes down, the man jumps back and slices through the air simultaneously. The blade touches the very edge of her spell, but also sends an enormous shockwave of wind her way. This is followed by a rapid second swing, horizontal, that cuts out forwards. The tree that Sanel just sat on is literally split from its trunk! Louis then turns his attention back to Sanel and dashes for him, and tries to impale him straight through the belly! That should get the little /monster/ to shut up! However, before he can get there, Myla uses her own wires to try and grapple him! The man cuts at the things with his sword, trying to get them to get out of the way. But all he manages is to tangle himself further. Soon enough, Myla has him standing still and hissing under his breath. He's clearly in pain, his body convulsing, but yet he refuses to actually 'scream'. He just keeps... moving. It's creepy to watch him start to get going again. Still bound by Myla's magic, walking one step at a time, still trying to do that one thing: To stab Sanel so that they can all go home.

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' "You're not getting away!" Aerith just chased after him, whirling her staff in a figure eight to build up momentum as she did so. Fast he may be, but that last attack had him slowed. Good enough for her! Her weapon began to glow as she approached him, a pale green color. It was the sure sign of her weapon's ability to take in energy, especially spirit energy. She hoped it was enough before she finally rammed into him, one blow after another, before finally leaping into the air and ramming the front section of her staff down atop his head. The resulting crack would split the air and make a few ears ring.

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' "Oof!" Kyra falls backwards a second time, her head exploding with pain and rage. It was pretty incredible-in this particular moment, she finds herself hating this person more than she ever has in her life. "I'll make you <GOOSEHONK> eat that sword." she growls, pulling something /else/ out of her coat. It's another gun. It's a regular gun-not magical at all. Her aim isn't very magical either apparently. "Rrrgh. Hang in there, Sanel. Run if you gotta." she mutters, pausing to grasp a few vials of remedy out of her coat to drink.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Underestimate? That involves thinking. There is no thought. There is only motion. That motion is to kill. That is the Rule of Nature: kill or be killed. Kill for Him. However, it is not Him that he is fighting for. Is it really for the person that he is protecting? Or is it the instinct that has kicked in? That condition of the Killing Machine returns in motion. The boy is caught by the face by Louis, the massive hand throws the boy away and then the boy slams against the tree. There is a sickening crunch as the boy macks against the tree. Not just that, but Louis dashes towards the tree to impale the boy. ...There it is. Everyone is treated to the sight of the boy getting impaled by the halberd, blood splattering from the impaling. ...Except, the wound that he has received is slowly mending itself. In turn... Louis will find a hand impaling deep within his heart, especially as the boy's hand has reached through the other side of Louis. The hand is drawn back, manifesting a glow of energy to swirl along the inside. "Cease to exist." Ahhhh... that is enough. Something... something has snapped the boy's attention before his body hunches over and becomes limp. It's as if the boy had shut down. 

:'''[[Myla Mason]] has posed:''' Myla Mason is durable but not unstopable, while her strange attack was quite the useful thing. It does help repair some of the damage to her it's not enough as she's recovering the feeder lines she's trying to get moving. thsi is not to be, she's impaled on Louis's blade her eyes normally glowing gold start to flare out. "Unable to contiune combat, shutting Down." She collapses to the ground sparking and leaking various robot things, she's now at the mercy of Kyra. Gods help her.

:'''[[Louis LeBlue]] has posed:''' His blade carves through the bullet fired by Kyra, slicing it in half and sending the pieces outwards into the skies. "You will do none of the sort!" He declares, and then plunges his blade into Sanel... and then... There's this... What is this? There's this... sudden immense pain through his chest. Louis blinks and... slowly looks down. There where his heart is, the boy has stabbed through. He stumbles, blinking, trying to catch a breath. He grips the boy's hand and pulls him out of his chest cavity. He can see his bones tearing at Sanel's flesh. "Foolish... boy." Louis coughs. "Nobody opposes..." Cough... gasp. "LeBlue." The man blinks a few times, his sight getting woozy. His heart. That's where his heart is! He's dying! Surely he's dying. Then... why isn't he losing his consciousness? There is an incredible pain going through his body right now, and he's clearly weakened. But... He's not dead! Why isn't he dead!? Louis gasps and reaches for the wound. Unlike Sanel, it's not closing. Just to be sure, Louis keeps the blade stick inside of Sanel, and then lifts the boy. "You would kill these friends of yours, and you'd forever hate yourself. It is my duty to take you 'home'." He declares. The Templars quickly rush to Louis' side, trying to help him. A twosome of them immediately begin to cast white magic on them -- any and all MP is getting used for this purpose. But none of them can believe it when Louis just... starts walking. He starts walking towards his Chocobo, one step at a time, holding Sanel. "Hold back the children." He commands, managing to let his voice boom - though it's lost quite a bit of its luster. Aerith starts slamming her staff on top of his head, but the man just... keeps moving. He cringes, and she almost causes his knees to buckle... but he continues walking. There is surely only one word for this moment. Insanity. He throws Sanel onto the black Chocobo's saddle, and then mounts the thing himself. He looks out onto the heroes. "Take care of your brethern!" He demands. "And do not follow me. This child goes beyond your understanding." Bringing a hand to his chest, and the other touching the reins of the Chocobo, the man then turns around and rides off into the distance.

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Aerith gaped as he stabbed straight through the boy. That was not possible. It just wasn't. She growled as he made his way toward his chocobo. This was, indeed, insanity. But it wasn't his strength and unholy stamina that she had a distaste for. "You monster," she muttered as he escaped. He called himself a knight templar... and did such acts to a young boy who was obviously tortured. She wouldn't be surprised if they were the ones who did it, but her mind reeled her in at that point. No such need for assumptions. However, one thing was true... they were definitely not to be trusted. "You monster!"

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' "Myla! ...Sanel?!" In short order, two people simply shut down on Kyra at once. Of immediate attention is Myla, her fellow classmate. Second follows Sanel, who suddenly becomes super aggressive and speaks in a manner she's never heard him spoken before. It doesn't sound like the playful Sanel that Kyra knew-or thought she knew?-so well. Murderous Sanel is new and in a way, it was almost as if he took the hate within Kyra and transformed it into a brutally, violent action that even Kyra herself feels a bit of catharsis over. Surely Louis should be dead from that. How he still moves and talks with Sanel slumped in front of them is beyond her. A growl escapes her and Kyra starts forward, gun still in her hand, now held with both as she points it ahead. "DROP HIM!" she commands. "I SAID DROP HIM!" Enraged, she immediately shoots one of the Templars casting white magic on Louis in the kneecap.

:'''[[Louis LeBlue]] has posed:''' The Templars have some trouble fleeing along with Louis. A couple of them are staying back in order to guard the man. In doing some, some of them end up shot in the kneecap. One of them even explains, "Noooo! I wanted to be an adventurer like you one day! Now someone shot me in the knee!"

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Aerith huffed and glanced back at Kyra. "Okay, I have questions and you have answers." She turned and made her way over. The energy from fighting was wearing down, replacing itself with concern. "First question... who was that? And second... why is he so important to those tyrants?"

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' "Correction." Kyra holsters her gun in a under-the-arm holster hidden beneath her coat. "I have no answers. I don't know the answer to either of those questions, unfortunately." Looking over to the fallen Myla, she's quick to gather up any parts that may have become separated. Myla as a whole is placed under a float spell because Kyra is not strong enough to lift a robot.

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' Aerith folded her arms in front of her. "Well, I'm quite willing to help you out. Just..." She frowned at Myla. "...take care of her. She tried to help me out once in the Chinese Countryside. Keep me posted, okay?"

:'''[[Kyra Hyral]] has posed:''' "Don't worry, I'll take /great/ care of her." Kyra beams in spite of everything, "I have excellent bedside manner. If anything turns up...I'll let you know. This is going to need some investigation."

:'''[[Aerith]] has posed:''' The flower girl smiled. "Don't think we've really met, by the way... I'm Aerith. Aerith Gainsborough. For better or worse, snow or not, we're in my neck of the woods."

=== Profile ===
Growing up in the simple hunting village, Reize was raised upon stories of exploration, adventure, and heroics by his father, once an well-known explorer and adventurer. His boldness and desire to prove himself led him to become a skilled hunter and develop an unconventional twin boomerang and self-taught martial arts style. Enthusiastic and compassionate, Reize makes friends easily, and he is idealistically committed to his own imagined 'Knight's Vows,' despite their ambiguity. Though his bumbling and lack of navigational abilities tend to cause him to show up at the wrong place at the wrong time, he is nevertheless eminently adaptable, and now on the path to becoming an explorer. Having learned that his vanished mother's paintings are similar to the worlds that he saw in a strange plane, he now seeks out the clues with the hand-painted cards she left behind, hoping to discover her fate.

===Pendant: The Star's Promise===
A shooting star symbolizes a fleeting moment in one's life. It is filled with the wonder of mankind and is sometimes regarded as the symbol of reaching one's ultimate destiny or even a chance of a better life. As such, people often make wishes upon that fleeting star.

In a way, it takes those those dreams, hopes, and wishes and carries them passes through the sky. During the course of its journey, it breaks apart as it falls towards the earth along with the wishes of mankind. The shards often land within the earth, mostly within the magical essence. However, because the shards have broken apart, it does not hold the charge that it once did as a full shooting star. Yet, it does retain quite a bit of power. While not able to grant wishes in its current form, it does hold a gift for those who possess it. The shards react strongly to those who have a high sense of imagination and wonder, and faith in the former two. Often, it is normally children because they often carry those important traits. After all, if they believe it is real, then they are rewarded with the sight.

"Open your mind, open your heart, and the truth shall be revealed to you."

The Gifts that the shard presents:
*'''Ether Eyes''': One of the gifts that is presented is the ability to see the flow of magic in the air. They can see the aura that manifests from those who channel it as well as the traces of magic left in the air. This will allow them to have the aptitude to judge and evaluate the magical forces as well.
*'''Limited Access Magic''': The shard carries a limited amount of magical power that the user can use daily. Though the pendant, the user can manifest its power. When gathering the magical essence, the user's particular focus will manifest. The strength of the magic's power is relative to the user's sense of imagination and wonder.
*'''Magical Resistance''': Because their mind is opened for the truth and is able to see magic, this provides a small amount of protection from the effects of the supernatural.
*'''Sensitivity to the Strongest Wish''': The pendant will react when the person, deep inside, begin thinking about their strongest wish. It will begin glowing. If more than one begin thinking about their strongest wish, it will glow brighter.
*'''Bond - Wishes of Mankind''': A shard has the potential of growing stronger with the user based on the lives s/he affects in a positive sense. As the user makes the wishes come true, there is a bit of belief placed onto the user. This bond allows the shard to grow in strength to even one day regain the strength of a full shooting star.

*'''Disadvantage: Attracts the Heartless''': The light attracts the darkness. The gem itself represents the purity of the light. This itself attracts the Heartless towards it.
*'''Disadvantage: Cannot Interfere with the Strongest Wish''': If the use of its power is in conflict with the person's strongest wish, the pendant will reject the manifestation of the power.

===Painting Cards===
The tarot deck is another oddity of the items that Reize has. In particular, the tarot deck contains paintings of various worlds, many of them are worlds that had been swallowed into the darkness by the Heartless. The origins or the tale of the deck is a mystery, other than the painter is an enigma herself.

==Abilities==

*'''Battle Prowess''': Analyzing Reize's full combat capability, Reize's strongest points is his exceptional agility. He has great dexterity and coordination to handle himself against attacks coming his way as well as speed to gain advantage over the enemy by putting pressure on them. However, his strength and endurance are a bit average at bests. He is not able to take damage as well as the average warrior nor is he able to dish out the damage. There is great raw power in him in terms of magic, no matter how unhoned it is.

*'''Battle Style''': Reize fights with a pair of boomerangs that are as large as daggers. Ambidextrous, he can use them for both throwing and melee. Primarily, Reize fights melee with the boomerangs, using them like one would a pair of swords. This is complemented by the self-taught martial arts style, utilizing his kicks to take down any opposition.

*'''Hunting''': Reize is an adept hunter, able to handle himself within the forest regions more, given that he had more experience. He uses only his boomerang to catch food. This also extends out to fishing.

*'''Cooking''': At most, Reize can only handle field cooking. His food may be a bit bland or have little seasoning, but it's hardy enough to ensure that people can survive. At worst, it's just filling.

*'''Survivability''': Reize can adapt to any surroundings that he is in. No matter how harsh the atmosphere is whether it is the forest or even the desert, Reize can adapt to the environment to ensure survivability.

*'''Jack of All Trades''': Reize has the ability to adapt to the situation that arises upon subjects that do not require intensive learning. Even if he is not initially good at it, he can quickly get the hang of the subject and will have some knowledge or usefulness of it.

*'''Storytelling''': In a way, Reize is has a bit of a bardic ability of handling storytelling. This comes in both writing and oral. He is exceptional with keeping people interested in the story, leaving them wondering what else happens in the story.

*'''Tools for the Situations''': As an explorer, Reize is used to carrying many things with him in his back pack and pouch. It can be simple stuff as an apple or perhaps a grappling hook. It always helps to be prepared.

*'''Wrong Place, Wrong Time''': Reize has the knack of appearing at the wrong place at the wrong time. Things could be happening that is not related to it, yet he sometimes tend to be caught in the middle of it.

*'''Magic''': The source of Reize's ability to use magic is through Luan's pendant, which is shard from a shooting star. It allows Reize to manifest magic. While channeling for the spells, it'll take the form of a glowing tarot in Reize's hand. The element will manifest with the depiction of one of the creatures from the painting. Upon the draw of the 'card', it'll release the manifestation of the spell.

*'''Disadvantage: Requires Magical Item''': Reize is incapable of using magic on his own. For that very reason, in order to use magic, Reize has to have a magical item equipped.

*'''Magical Aptitude:''' Somehow, Reize has the ability to pick up most magical devices and simply use them with no knowledge of what they are or what they do. There are a lot of drawbacks to it, but Reize is sometimes lucky with them. (''Note: This mostly means that magic items will likely respond to him better despite his lack of knowledge about them'').

== Trivia ==
* Reize has the amazing ability to get lost at times. He may intend to go to one place, but will somehow end up in another location.
* His ahoge is ...very expressive, to say the least. It's as expressive as Reize tends to be.
* Unfortunately, Reize's inventory is very unorganized, so it's difficult to get what item he wants to get out at times, especially during battles.
* As opposed to "Hey!" Reize tends to use "Oi" and "Mada Mada" to him is essentially something he'll mutter in exasperation. If asked for meaning, to him, it means "Whatever" or "alright, alright".

=== Profile ===
Growing up in the simple hunting village, Reize was raised upon stories of exploration, adventure, and heroics by his father, once an well-known explorer and adventurer. His boldness and desire to prove himself led him to become a skilled hunter and develop an unconventional twin boomerang and self-taught martial arts style. Enthusiastic and compassionate, Reize makes friends easily, and he is idealistically committed to his own imagined 'Knight's Vows,' despite their ambiguity. Though his bumbling and lack of navigational abilities tend to cause him to show up at the wrong place at the wrong time, he is nevertheless eminently adaptable, and now on the path to becoming an explorer. Having learned that his vanished mother's paintings are similar to the worlds that he saw in a strange plane, he now seeks out the clues with the hand-painted cards she left behind, hoping to discover her fate.

===Pendant: The Star's Promise===
A shooting star symbolizes a fleeting moment in one's life. It is filled with the wonder of mankind and is sometimes regarded as the symbol of reaching one's ultimate destiny or even a chance of a better life. As such, people often make wishes upon that fleeting star.

In a way, it takes those those dreams, hopes, and wishes and carries them passes through the sky. During the course of its journey, it breaks apart as it falls towards the earth along with the wishes of mankind. The shards often land within the earth, mostly within the magical essence. However, because the shards have broken apart, it does not hold the charge that it once did as a full shooting star. Yet, it does retain quite a bit of power. While not able to grant wishes in its current form, it does hold a gift for those who possess it. The shards react strongly to those who have a high sense of imagination and wonder, and faith in the former two. Often, it is normally children because they often carry those important traits. After all, if they believe it is real, then they are rewarded with the sight.

"Open your mind, open your heart, and the truth shall be revealed to you."

The Gifts that the shard presents:
*'''Ether Eyes''': One of the gifts that is presented is the ability to see the flow of magic in the air. They can see the aura that manifests from those who channel it as well as the traces of magic left in the air. This will allow them to have the aptitude to judge and evaluate the magical forces as well.
*'''Limited Access Magic''': The shard carries a limited amount of magical power that the user can use daily. Though the pendant, the user can manifest its power. When gathering the magical essence, the user's particular focus will manifest. The strength of the magic's power is relative to the user's sense of imagination and wonder.
*'''Magical Resistance''': Because their mind is opened for the truth and is able to see magic, this provides a small amount of protection from the effects of the supernatural.
*'''Sensitivity to the Strongest Wish''': The pendant will react when the person, deep inside, begin thinking about their strongest wish. It will begin glowing. If more than one begin thinking about their strongest wish, it will glow brighter.
*'''Bond - Wishes of Mankind''': A shard has the potential of growing stronger with the user based on the lives s/he affects in a positive sense. As the user makes the wishes come true, there is a bit of belief placed onto the user. This bond allows the shard to grow in strength to even one day regain the strength of a full shooting star.

*'''Disadvantage: Attracts the Heartless''': The light attracts the darkness. The gem itself represents the purity of the light. This itself attracts the Heartless towards it.
*'''Disadvantage: Cannot Interfere with the Strongest Wish''': If the use of its power is in conflict with the person's strongest wish, the pendant will reject the manifestation of the power.

===Painting Cards===
The tarot deck is another oddity of the items that Reize has. In particular, the tarot deck contains paintings of various worlds, many of them are worlds that had been swallowed into the darkness by the Heartless. The origins or the tale of the deck is a mystery, other than the painter is an enigma herself.

==Abilities==

*'''Battle Prowess''': Analyzing Reize's full combat capability, Reize's strongest points is his exceptional agility. He has great dexterity and coordination to handle himself against attacks coming his way as well as speed to gain advantage over the enemy by putting pressure on them. However, his strength and endurance are a bit average at bests. He is not able to take damage as well as the average warrior nor is he able to dish out the damage. There is great raw power in him in terms of magic, no matter how unhoned it is.

*'''Battle Style''': Reize fights with a pair of boomerangs that are as large as daggers. Ambidextrous, he can use them for both throwing and melee. Primarily, Reize fights melee with the boomerangs, using them like one would a pair of swords. This is complemented by the self-taught martial arts style, utilizing his kicks to take down any opposition.

*'''Hunting''': Reize is an adept hunter, able to handle himself within the forest regions more, given that he had more experience. He uses only his boomerang to catch food. This also extends out to fishing.

*'''Cooking''': At most, Reize can only handle field cooking. His food may be a bit bland or have little seasoning, but it's hardy enough to ensure that people can survive. At worst, it's just filling.

*'''Survivability''': Reize can adapt to any surroundings that he is in. No matter how harsh the atmosphere is whether it is the forest or even the desert, Reize can adapt to the environment to ensure survivability.

*'''Jack of All Trades''': Reize has the ability to adapt to the situation that arises upon subjects that do not require intensive learning. Even if he is not initially good at it, he can quickly get the hang of the subject and will have some knowledge or usefulness of it.

*'''Storytelling''': In a way, Reize is has a bit of a bardic ability of handling storytelling. This comes in both writing and oral. He is exceptional with keeping people interested in the story, leaving them wondering what else happens in the story.

*'''Tools for the Situations''': As an explorer, Reize is used to carrying many things with him in his back pack and pouch. It can be simple stuff as an apple or perhaps a grappling hook. It always helps to be prepared.

*'''Wrong Place, Wrong Time''': Reize has the knack of appearing at the wrong place at the wrong time. Things could be happening that is not related to it, yet he sometimes tend to be caught in the middle of it.

*'''Magic''': The source of Reize's ability to use magic is through Luan's pendant, which is shard from a shooting star. It allows Reize to manifest magic. While channeling for the spells, it'll take the form of a glowing tarot in Reize's hand. The element will manifest with the depiction of one of the creatures from the painting. Upon the draw of the 'card', it'll release the manifestation of the spell.

*'''Disadvantage: Requires Magical Item''': Reize is incapable of using magic on his own. For that very reason, in order to use magic, Reize has to have a magical item equipped.

*'''Magical Aptitude:''' Somehow, Reize has the ability to pick up most magical devices and simply use them with no knowledge of what they are or what they do. There are a lot of drawbacks to it, but Reize is sometimes lucky with them. (''Note: This mostly means that magic items will likely respond to him better despite his lack of knowledge about them'').

This is quite important. These are the essential vows that Reize's father, Luan, taught Reize. Likely were made up, but still! It was to instill some sense of morals to his son. DISCLAIMER: I jacked these from Tales of Symphonia, but I made some up of my own and took some from a friend.

== Trivia ==
* Reize has the amazing ability to get lost at times. He may intend to go to one place, but will somehow end up in another location.
* His ahoge is ...very expressive, to say the least. It's as expressive as Reize tends to be.
* Unfortunately, Reize's inventory is very unorganized, so it's difficult to get what item he wants to get out at times, especially during battles.
* As opposed to "Hey!" Reize tends to use "Oi" and "Mada Mada" to him is essentially something he'll mutter in exasperation. If asked for meaning, to him, it means "Whatever" or "alright, alright".

=== Profile ===
Growing up in the simple hunting village, Reize was raised upon stories of exploration, adventure, and heroics by his father, once an well-known explorer and adventurer. His boldness and desire to prove himself led him to become a skilled hunter and develop an unconventional twin boomerang and self-taught martial arts style. Enthusiastic and compassionate, Reize makes friends easily, and he is idealistically committed to his own imagined 'Knight's Vows,' despite their ambiguity. Though his bumbling and lack of navigational abilities tend to cause him to show up at the wrong place at the wrong time, he is nevertheless eminently adaptable, and now on the path to becoming an explorer. Having learned that his vanished mother's paintings are similar to the worlds that he saw in a strange plane, he now seeks out the clues with the hand-painted cards she left behind, hoping to discover her fate.

===Pendant: The Star's Promise===
A shooting star symbolizes a fleeting moment in one's life. It is filled with the wonder of mankind and is sometimes regarded as the symbol of reaching one's ultimate destiny or even a chance of a better life. As such, people often make wishes upon that fleeting star.

In a way, it takes those those dreams, hopes, and wishes and carries them passes through the sky. During the course of its journey, it breaks apart as it falls towards the earth along with the wishes of mankind. The shards often land within the earth, mostly within the magical essence. However, because the shards have broken apart, it does not hold the charge that it once did as a full shooting star. Yet, it does retain quite a bit of power. While not able to grant wishes in its current form, it does hold a gift for those who possess it. The shards react strongly to those who have a high sense of imagination and wonder, and faith in the former two. Often, it is normally children because they often carry those important traits. After all, if they believe it is real, then they are rewarded with the sight.

"Open your mind, open your heart, and the truth shall be revealed to you."

The Gifts that the shard presents:
*'''Ether Eyes''': One of the gifts that is presented is the ability to see the flow of magic in the air. They can see the aura that manifests from those who channel it as well as the traces of magic left in the air. This will allow them to have the aptitude to judge and evaluate the magical forces as well.
*'''Limited Access Magic''': The shard carries a limited amount of magical power that the user can use daily. Though the pendant, the user can manifest its power. When gathering the magical essence, the user's particular focus will manifest. The strength of the magic's power is relative to the user's sense of imagination and wonder.
*'''Magical Resistance''': Because their mind is opened for the truth and is able to see magic, this provides a small amount of protection from the effects of the supernatural.
*'''Sensitivity to the Strongest Wish''': The pendant will react when the person, deep inside, begin thinking about their strongest wish. It will begin glowing. If more than one begin thinking about their strongest wish, it will glow brighter.
*'''Bond - Wishes of Mankind''': A shard has the potential of growing stronger with the user based on the lives s/he affects in a positive sense. As the user makes the wishes come true, there is a bit of belief placed onto the user. This bond allows the shard to grow in strength to even one day regain the strength of a full shooting star.

*'''Disadvantage: Attracts the Heartless''': The light attracts the darkness. The gem itself represents the purity of the light. This itself attracts the Heartless towards it.
*'''Disadvantage: Cannot Interfere with the Strongest Wish''': If the use of its power is in conflict with the person's strongest wish, the pendant will reject the manifestation of the power.

===Painting Cards===
The tarot deck is another oddity of the items that Reize has. In particular, the tarot deck contains paintings of various worlds, many of them are worlds that had been swallowed into the darkness by the Heartless. The origins or the tale of the deck is a mystery, other than the painter is an enigma herself.

==Abilities==

*'''Battle Prowess''': Analyzing Reize's full combat capability, Reize's strongest points is his exceptional agility. He has great dexterity and coordination to handle himself against attacks coming his way as well as speed to gain advantage over the enemy by putting pressure on them. However, his strength and endurance are a bit average at bests. He is not able to take damage as well as the average warrior nor is he able to dish out the damage. There is great raw power in him in terms of magic, no matter how unhoned it is.

*'''Battle Style''': Reize fights with a pair of boomerangs that are as large as daggers. Ambidextrous, he can use them for both throwing and melee. Primarily, Reize fights melee with the boomerangs, using them like one would a pair of swords. This is complemented by the self-taught martial arts style, utilizing his kicks to take down any opposition.

*'''Hunting''': Reize is an adept hunter, able to handle himself within the forest regions more, given that he had more experience. He uses only his boomerang to catch food. This also extends out to fishing.

*'''Cooking''': At most, Reize can only handle field cooking. His food may be a bit bland or have little seasoning, but it's hardy enough to ensure that people can survive. At worst, it's just filling.

*'''Survivability''': Reize can adapt to any surroundings that he is in. No matter how harsh the atmosphere is whether it is the forest or even the desert, Reize can adapt to the environment to ensure survivability.

*'''Jack of All Trades''': Reize has the ability to adapt to the situation that arises upon subjects that do not require intensive learning. Even if he is not initially good at it, he can quickly get the hang of the subject and will have some knowledge or usefulness of it.

*'''Storytelling''': In a way, Reize is has a bit of a bardic ability of handling storytelling. This comes in both writing and oral. He is exceptional with keeping people interested in the story, leaving them wondering what else happens in the story.

*'''Tools for the Situations''': As an explorer, Reize is used to carrying many things with him in his back pack and pouch. It can be simple stuff as an apple or perhaps a grappling hook. It always helps to be prepared.

*'''Wrong Place, Wrong Time''': Reize has the knack of appearing at the wrong place at the wrong time. Things could be happening that is not related to it, yet he sometimes tend to be caught in the middle of it.

*'''Magic''': The source of Reize's ability to use magic is through Luan's pendant, which is shard from a shooting star. It allows Reize to manifest magic. While channeling for the spells, it'll take the form of a glowing tarot in Reize's hand. The element will manifest with the depiction of one of the creatures from the painting. Upon the draw of the 'card', it'll release the manifestation of the spell.

*'''Disadvantage: Requires Magical Item''': Reize is incapable of using magic on his own. For that very reason, in order to use magic, Reize has to have a magical item equipped.

*'''Magical Aptitude:''' Somehow, Reize has the ability to pick up most magical devices and simply use them with no knowledge of what they are or what they do. There are a lot of drawbacks to it, but Reize is sometimes lucky with them. (''Note: This mostly means that magic items will likely respond to him better despite his lack of knowledge about them'').

== Trivia ==
* Reize has the amazing ability to get lost at times. He may intend to go to one place, but will somehow end up in another location.
* His ahoge is ...very expressive, to say the least. It's as expressive as Reize tends to be.
* Unfortunately, Reize's inventory is very unorganized, so it's difficult to get what item he wants to get out at times, especially during battles.
* As opposed to "Hey!" Reize tends to use "Oi" and "Mada Mada" to him is essentially something he'll mutter in exasperation. If asked for meaning, to him, it means "Whatever" or "alright, alright".

=== Profile ===
Growing up in the simple hunting village, Reize was raised upon stories of exploration, adventure, and heroics by his father, once an well-known explorer and adventurer. His boldness and desire to prove himself led him to become a skilled hunter and develop an unconventional twin boomerang and self-taught martial arts style. Enthusiastic and compassionate, Reize makes friends easily, and he is idealistically committed to his own imagined 'Knight's Vows,' despite their ambiguity. Though his bumbling and lack of navigational abilities tend to cause him to show up at the wrong place at the wrong time, he is nevertheless eminently adaptable, and now on the path to becoming an explorer. Having learned that his vanished mother's paintings are similar to the worlds that he saw in a strange plane, he now seeks out the clues with the hand-painted cards she left behind, hoping to discover her fate.

===Pendant: The Star's Promise===
A shooting star symbolizes a fleeting moment in one's life. It is filled with the wonder of mankind and is sometimes regarded as the symbol of reaching one's ultimate destiny or even a chance of a better life. As such, people often make wishes upon that fleeting star.

In a way, it takes those those dreams, hopes, and wishes and carries them passes through the sky. During the course of its journey, it breaks apart as it falls towards the earth along with the wishes of mankind. The shards often land within the earth, mostly within the magical essence. However, because the shards have broken apart, it does not hold the charge that it once did as a full shooting star. Yet, it does retain quite a bit of power. While not able to grant wishes in its current form, it does hold a gift for those who possess it. The shards react strongly to those who have a high sense of imagination and wonder, and faith in the former two. Often, it is normally children because they often carry those important traits. After all, if they believe it is real, then they are rewarded with the sight.

"Open your mind, open your heart, and the truth shall be revealed to you."

The Gifts that the shard presents:
*'''Ether Eyes''': One of the gifts that is presented is the ability to see the flow of magic in the air. They can see the aura that manifests from those who channel it as well as the traces of magic left in the air. This will allow them to have the aptitude to judge and evaluate the magical forces as well.
*'''Limited Access Magic''': The shard carries a limited amount of magical power that the user can use daily. Though the pendant, the user can manifest its power. When gathering the magical essence, the user's particular focus will manifest. The strength of the magic's power is relative to the user's sense of imagination and wonder.
*'''Magical Resistance''': Because their mind is opened for the truth and is able to see magic, this provides a small amount of protection from the effects of the supernatural.
*'''Sensitivity to the Strongest Wish''': The pendant will react when the person, deep inside, begin thinking about their strongest wish. It will begin glowing. If more than one begin thinking about their strongest wish, it will glow brighter.
*'''Bond - Wishes of Mankind''': A shard has the potential of growing stronger with the user based on the lives s/he affects in a positive sense. As the user makes the wishes come true, there is a bit of belief placed onto the user. This bond allows the shard to grow in strength to even one day regain the strength of a full shooting star.

*'''Disadvantage: Attracts the Heartless''': The light attracts the darkness. The gem itself represents the purity of the light. This itself attracts the Heartless towards it.
*'''Disadvantage: Cannot Interfere with the Strongest Wish''': If the use of its power is in conflict with the person's strongest wish, the pendant will reject the manifestation of the power.

===Painting Cards===
The tarot deck is another oddity of the items that Reize has. In particular, the tarot deck contains paintings of various worlds, many of them are worlds that had been swallowed into the darkness by the Heartless. The origins or the tale of the deck is a mystery, other than the painter is an enigma herself.

==Abilities==

*'''Battle Prowess''': Analyzing Reize's full combat capability, Reize's strongest points is his exceptional agility. He has great dexterity and coordination to handle himself against attacks coming his way as well as speed to gain advantage over the enemy by putting pressure on them. However, his strength and endurance are a bit average at bests. He is not able to take damage as well as the average warrior nor is he able to dish out the damage. There is great raw power in him in terms of magic, no matter how unhoned it is.

*'''Battle Style''': Reize fights with a pair of boomerangs that are as large as daggers. Ambidextrous, he can use them for both throwing and melee. Primarily, Reize fights melee with the boomerangs, using them like one would a pair of swords. This is complemented by the self-taught martial arts style, utilizing his kicks to take down any opposition.

*'''Hunting''': Reize is an adept hunter, able to handle himself within the forest regions more, given that he had more experience. He uses only his boomerang to catch food. This also extends out to fishing.

*'''Cooking''': At most, Reize can only handle field cooking. His food may be a bit bland or have little seasoning, but it's hardy enough to ensure that people can survive. At worst, it's just filling.

*'''Survivability''': Reize can adapt to any surroundings that he is in. No matter how harsh the atmosphere is whether it is the forest or even the desert, Reize can adapt to the environment to ensure survivability.

*'''Jack of All Trades''': Reize has the ability to adapt to the situation that arises upon subjects that do not require intensive learning. Even if he is not initially good at it, he can quickly get the hang of the subject and will have some knowledge or usefulness of it.

*'''Storytelling''': In a way, Reize is has a bit of a bardic ability of handling storytelling. This comes in both writing and oral. He is exceptional with keeping people interested in the story, leaving them wondering what else happens in the story.

*'''Tools for the Situations''': As an explorer, Reize is used to carrying many things with him in his back pack and pouch. It can be simple stuff as an apple or perhaps a grappling hook. It always helps to be prepared.

*'''Wrong Place, Wrong Time''': Reize has the knack of appearing at the wrong place at the wrong time. Things could be happening that is not related to it, yet he sometimes tend to be caught in the middle of it.

*'''Magic''': The source of Reize's ability to use magic is through Luan's pendant, which is shard from a shooting star. It allows Reize to manifest magic. While channeling for the spells, it'll take the form of a glowing tarot in Reize's hand. The element will manifest with the depiction of one of the creatures from the painting. Upon the draw of the 'card', it'll release the manifestation of the spell.

*'''Disadvantage: Requires Magical Item''': Reize is incapable of using magic on his own. For that very reason, in order to use magic, Reize has to have a magical item equipped.

*'''Magical Aptitude:''' Somehow, Reize has the ability to pick up most magical devices and simply use them with no knowledge of what they are or what they do. There are a lot of drawbacks to it, but Reize is sometimes lucky with them. (''Note: This mostly means that magic items will likely respond to him better despite his lack of knowledge about them'').

|[[Lily]]||[[File:Proudicon.jpg]]||"She has gotten better in controlling her magic. I am shamed of myself for nearly leaving her behind. She is learning a lot on her own, but her feelings are there for me. ...She is, afterall, my girlfrend."
|-
|[[Ivo Galvan]]||[[File:Proudicon.jpg]]||"Ivo is my trusted strategist! Although, he is a busy person, likely flirting with his teacher. Though, bringing in Priel... I am going to have to trust you on this."

|-
|[[Faruja Senra]]||[[File:Proudicon.jpg]]||"Faruja is a great friend. He is dependable and a devout knight. He isn't without his faults. I was hurt when I found out that he put a bounty on Riku, but in the end, he still suffers from his wrath. I still trust him with my life."

|-

|-
|[[Leida]]||[[File:Sadicon.jpg]]||"Leida, I know whatever I say may not help you. I can tell that you're trying, but you don't know what to do now that you're falling back into the darkness. I don't think there is anything that I can say that will make it better. But know that I will remain by your side."
|-
|[[Will Sherman]]||[[File:Sadicon.jpg]]||"...I don't know what to say about him. He tends to show up out of nowhere to eat our food! ...But, I feel bad, because he went through a lot. ...Even worse, he suffered a lot through the hands of Leida. He deserves to be angry, but I am glad that he decided to give Leida a chance to atone for her past."

|-
|[[Annalise]]||[[File:Proudicon.jpg]]||"We got off on the wrong foot when we first met, but I think we're becoming good friends. In a way, we are alike."

== Trivia ==
* Reize has the amazing ability to get lost at times. He may intend to go to one place, but will somehow end up in another location.
* His ahoge is ...very expressive, to say the least. It's as expressive as Reize tends to be.
* Unfortunately, Reize's inventory is very unorganized, so it's difficult to get what item he wants to get out at times, especially during battles.
* As opposed to "Hey!" Reize tends to use "Oi" and "Mada Mada" to him is essentially something he'll mutter in exasperation. If asked for meaning, to him, it means "Whatever" or "alright, alright".

}}
:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Welcome to the City of the Bells. This vibrant and beautiful area is famous for the Norte Dame cathedral and the elegant architecture. While the city is under the watchful eye of the churches, the city itself is filled with people enjoying the wonderful atmosphere. It offers a grand view of the church and the sun. This vibrant place is filled with people going about their daily lives. In particular, a vendor is selling his wares at the local bazaar. One person who is currently exploring the market place is Sanel, who is holding two large pails of water. As the vendor continues to hype up his wares, Sanel passes by. ...Until he trips. "Ahhh!" ...And the buckets of water splash all over the man and his wares, earning the laughter of the gathered crowd. The vendor, however, doesn't look pleased with the fallen boy. 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' As well he probably shouldn't, those wares are his livelihood at the very least and depending on the 'wares' involved, water damage could be a thing. Still, that's not precisely Umi Dennou's problem because Umi Dennou really, really doesn't think that far ahead. "Hey! Don't laugh just 'cause he fell!" Umi puffs out, having caught the end tail of what happened. She pushes her way through the crowd and offers Sanel a hand up, grinning widely. "Hey Sanel!" She says cheerfully, "Need a hand up? I'll help you with the buckets--" he's obscenely strong, but this may be a dexterity check too.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' The display angers the vendor, but instead of actually confronting the boy and demanding that he pays back the damages, he grumbles in a huff, wiping the apples and other fruit in question. Sure, it was inconvenient, but water wouldn't damage his wares too bad. Still, a mere annoyance. He puts back that cool face in the sense of 'that meant to happen'. Meanwhile, for Sanel, the young boy looks up at Umi. "Umi-Yumi!" The boy looks over at the hand and he grasps onto it. While the boy is obscenely strong, he is just easy to pick up as well! And when he does get up, the boy leans forward to wrap his arms around Umi's waist, embracing her(and likely lifting her up at the process). "Sanel missed Umi-Yumi! Sanel has not seen Umi-Yumi in a long time!" 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' Umi hefts Sanel up and then spreads her arms wide and then-- "Urk!" Umi says, as she's downright hugged into the air. She recovers quickly, and is probably a bit used to this sort of treatment from Sanel. "Haha--you've gotten stronger!" She nods firmly despite basing this assumption on nothing and in fact Sanel probably is about as strong as before? "This one apologizes...though haha...not having any method to communicate with you and having to meet with you on a coincidental basis may have something to do with that, The Network hypothesizes." She pauses. "But hey! Missed you too! Whatcha doing all the way out here?"

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' As the boy embraces Umi, his head presses against her chest, just keeping his arm around her with a pleased look. The boy is a sucker for affection, overall. But despite of the fact of his desire, he is used to people wanting to be put down after the hug. In accordance with the custom, Sanel leans down to help set Umi down gently. Brightening his smile, Sanel adds, "Sanel meets strong people sometimes! Strong people and animals always challenge Sanel." He frowns slightly, "Animals always run away after Sanel wins. ...Or when Sanel shows up." He gives a sudden blink, as if remembering something, "One time, Sanel saw a snake slither away as a fast as one of those metal birds in the sky pass by. Only those things aren't birds." He squints, "Sanel doesn't know what they're called." And when he tilts his head at her, "Sanel... wanders." The boy furrows his eyebrow, as if trying to figure something out. "...Sanel doesn't remember anything. Sanel considered searching, but everytime Sanel does, he becomes sadder and sadder. ...It hurts. Snow Mouse King begged Sanel to no longer search for that. Instead, find new life." Pause. "... Sanel has no life... or purpose. So, Sanel wanders until he finds it." 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' Umi can't be carried forever! How is she going to <action movie cliche> if she's always in Sanel's inventory?! "I think they're called airships. Or maybe planes, depending!" Umi says, checking her ribs to make sure nothing's broken. "Though uh---" She trails off. "...I meant with the pails? I was gonna offer to help! But this seems like a much bigger thing to worry about." She taps her foot thoughtfully. "I know! We can think about this together AND carry pails at the same time!" She picks one up. "Though uh--again, not sure why you were carrying pails of water." She squints tightly in deep thought before adding, "Well..." She says. "...Don't blame you for being worried, this is some pretty heavy stuff it sounds like. The Network has always had purpose..." She frowns a bit before adding, "But you know--not having purpose is fine too." She smiles again. "Then you can find out all sorts of things without having to worry about your purpose so much." She looks Sanel over again and adds, "But you do have a life, y'know. I mean we're talking right here. And we're friends! That's plenty of life already. Now if you want more...that's another thing. Life I mean. Life is huuuge, there's always room to get more of it."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Upon Umi's explanation about the flying mechanical devices in the sky, Sanel's visible eye widens in deep understanding. "Ahhhh!" And then, he looks over towards the pails once more. "Oh, Sanel was helping lady with chores. She wanted to tend to kids! So, Sanel wanted to help her! She seemed nice!" Approaching the pails, Sanel kneels down and he reaches over to grab the pails. He looks over towards her, tilting his head. "...Umi-Yumi was sad by this purpose, wasn't she?" He approaches closer with the pails, "Sanel needs to get more water to take to lady!" He looks ahead towards the well a bit far off. "Sanel would be glad if he had help!" He blinks, considering the life. "...A life." He closes his eyes, "...Friends. Plenty of life. Sanel... feels like he had something. It was something that Sanel didn't like. But Sanel wants to do things that he likes!" He holds the pails up, "Like this! Sanel likes this!" 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' Umi says, "That seems like a good reason to lift pails." She brings the one she seized up and heads well-wards, glancing back towards Sanel. "Well, far be it for someone like me to doubt the wisdom of the great Snow Mouse King, but--um, well gosh, This one doesn't want you to ever feel pain and it sure sounds like your past is painful, but--" Umi frowns. "Well, you can't run from it forever. This one has to emphatically suggest you confront it one day on your own terms--before the past chooses its terms for you." She pauses in her well-work to smile back at Sanel, "But you shouldn't let it stop you from having a new life either, especially if you like it. So--you said no purpose huh? Well, there's a lot of ways to go about doing this, but maybe helping others is your purpose." She jerks a thumb at herself. "That's ours! The Network also solves mysteries and pries into personal matters!" She's so proud.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' "Sanel is happy, it makes the lady happy. So, Sanel is happy when the lady is happy." Once they start moving towards the well, the boy approaches to the rope and he grabs the pail and attaches it up. He turns to face Umi, blinking that single eye. "...Sanel feels like Snow Mouse King remembers Sanel before." The boy is closing his eyes, "...When Sanel met him, Snow Mouse King was beaten with snowballs from kids." He brightens a smile, "Sanel helped him up. However.." He tosses the pail down to the water. The eye furrows, "Snow Mouse King paniced and did not trust Sanel." And when he hears about running away from it forever, "...Sanel doesn't remember it. Sanel... doesn't want to face it. It feels like... if it comes back, Sanel will be no more." As he starts pulling the rope up, the water-filled pail is brought up and the boy hands it over to Umi. "Solve mysteries? Pry into personal matters?" The boy beams, "Sanel plays with animals, but all of the animals run from Sanel!" 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' That particular phrasing seems unsettling. Umi takes her pail of water, thinking jntently. She is presuming 'Snow Mouse King' is Faruja because, well, yeah. Was Sanel affiliated with the Church somehow? "Hm... maybe you're like Will, then." Umi says. "He exists because he was a seal for this scary guy, maybe you're a seal for a scary guy. Though he wasn't such a bad guy once you heard his story..." She frowns thoughtfully, not accustomed to it really. "Maybe..." She trails off. "Oh--" Her eyes widen. "Maybe you want to be a ve--eeahhhh..." Umi grabs at her head suddenly. "o..okay, Ami, not a vet." She breathes out. "Maybe you want to make felt animal hand puppets??"

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' The pail is handed over to Umi, the boy ties the other one and he starts tossing it into the water. The boy allows the pail to sink deep into the well and he waits. He faces the Dennou and he lifts a finger, "Will? Sanel does not now this Will." "But a seal for the scary guy?" He looks at the girl, "...Sanel will find this Will and find out more!" However, as Umi throws her suggestion, Sanel perks until she veers off. "Huh?" He blinks a moment, then he squints at her. "Animal hand pupets? Uhh, what's that?" He fishes the pail out, finally getting it into a single hand. "Follow Sanel! Lady awaits." The boy wanders alongs from the pail, leading Emi along the path. They would find themselves going along the streets, passing through the various shops. The residency district is not too far. "... Sanel feels like he'll find something if he keeps wandering." For a moment, the color fades from his eye. "But, he feels that if he continues, he'll find a place that he will be at to where he will no longer wander." He pauses, "...Did Umi-Yumi wander a lot when she had no idea about herself? Or... trying to get away?"

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' "Will helped me out a lot. He's homeless! But he's also king of the homeless so I guess that means everywhere that's not a home is his castle." Umi's eyes widen. "Woah! Thinking about it like that, he's got a lot of territory!" Granted most people probably wouldn't see it that way but that's besides the point. "But yeah--puppets! Uhh I can't show you like this, but you put them on your hand and you entertain children with it, The Network summarizes." "...No idea about myself?" Umi rubs at her forehead. "Well, to be honest, This one always had memories even before being out of her tube. This one had the past memories of the other members of Legion, the ones who died, and the ones who still lived. "This one knew she was going to be killed. The Network's purpose, at the time, was to be killed. We did not mind this purpose because it was, at least, a purpose. We pitied those that had to live on their own, by themselves, without any comforting presences around them--touching their mind. How could they truly know connection?, The Network wondered smugly." She smiles. "Thanks to people like Will and his friends, we were able to find a new one pretty quickly. It was strange, though, during that period where we did not have a 'job'. But we found something new, all of us did. This one wouldn't say we wandered a lot, but we did do some exploring... We never could properly explore before, after all."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' "King of the Homeless?" That is when Sanel places a hand over towards his chin. Little thought bubbles appear over his head as he imagines a homeless man in drapes and robes with a shiny crown. All of the homeless people kneel before him, bowing before the man. THe boy beams as the thought bubble disappears. "Sanel will find the Hobo King!" It's going to be a long search. He almost goes onward to find the Hobo King until...---oh right, the pails! Thankfully, his usually short attention span is halted by the heavy reminder of the pail that he carries. "Oh, animals are put on his hand and he entertains other children with." The first thing that Sanel is going to do is find an animal to try this out on. This is going to end pretty badly. "... Umi had memories of other Legion?" He furrows his eyebrow, "... Umi-Yumi was going to go byebye...?" That alone makes Sanel sad. However, the story of people like Will helping her, it makes Sanel smile. "Sanel is happy for Umi-Yumi." By the time that the two make it to the residency, they appear at the yard of a woman who appears to be in her late-twenties dealing with about three children running around. The woman calmly directs them around, and then she turns around to see the boy return and with a stranger. "Oh!" She looks perplexed, then she offers a smile, "You've come back, Sanel. And I see you brought a friend." Sanel brighten, "Sanel come back with Sanel's Umi-Yumi!" 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' Umi doesn't seem saddened by it but, then again, it hadn't happened. "That's er--I mean like... puppet animals not...not real animals--" Please don't yell at her anymore Ami she's trying her best, she's trying her best!! "But that's right! I /was/. But not anymore! well, I mean, not any time soon. Why, probably not for /years/ even. This one might make it to her tenth birthday, if lucky. The big ONE-OH." She frowns a bit. "Though that's not for a while, maybe this one shouldn't be jumping the gun on that one. But the important thing--is that The Network would have been deceased, but that fate was averted. That means every day is 'extra'." She nods to Sanel. "Every day is a blessing, yes? This one fully intends to live each remaining day to the fullest." She smiles. "And who knows? Maybe this one will last to /Two/-Oh. It's a mystery, so since it is a mystery we will enjoy as many days possible. This one admits, though, it will be hard to think about what they could be doing in that many years? Ha ha ha ha ha--who knows?" She waves a hand at the nice lady, smiling at her. "--...eh? Sanel....'s?"

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' "Umm..." Sanel blinks, "Puppet animals? Not real animals?" He furrows his eyebrows, "Okay! Sanel will find puppet animals to entertain children with~!" The discussion of age and years come to mind, "Sanel does not get the birthday thing, but Sanel was told that he was fourteen years old." He rubs the back of his head, though, it starts to come clear. "...A celebration of how long one has lived." He seems like he is getting it now. "Some people live a long time. Perhaps living long time is what everyone wants to do." After handing the pail over to the porch, he moves to get the pail from Umi, "Nnn! Sanel's!" And just to show, the boy idly moves to take the pail from her hand, grateful for her help. However, the boy also leans forward to give Umi a kiss towards the lips. A surprise kiss!! The kids stop what they are doing, only to turn their heads away. All of them make funny faces at the incoming sight. "Blech!!!" 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' "Eh?" Umi says. "Well--This one wouldn't mind living longer but this one wouldn't say it's a dream, again--already way past than I thought, so honestly this one would be happy however much time this one has--" And then---!!!! Well okay actually The Network is pretty used to getting kissed at this point thanks to the shared collective and in fact they're starting to suspect this is a side effect of their occupation: That of being a detective. Umi wasn't expecting kisses however, so Sanel manages to get a quick one off. Umi blinks a few times, shocked, but then laughs it off. "Haha, you should save that, Sanel, for someone who is really important to you some day--" She says, recovering. She suspects it's a Friend Kiss because of Sanel's relative innocent if kind of cuckoo nature.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Now, Sanel is often the type to take what is his! Or what he claims! Or who he claims(ask Alma). Though, despite of his actions, his intent has always been pretty innocent enough. Perhaps it is because of his cuckoo nature, but the instinctual boy often acts out what he feels. Nevertheless, once Umi laughs off the kiss, Sanel is tilting his head over at her with a curious look. "Almmy once said the same thing. So, Sanel asked Snow Mouse King. Snow Mouse King mentioned being there when the person needs it and will protect them. If any harm comes to them, Sanel would smash who harms them like a grape." "So, Sanel considers Umi important as well." The boy furrows his eyebrow, "...Sanel will protect all who are important to him." The boy takes the pail over to the lady. After the children finish gagging, the boy pats them on the head and waves off the lady. He approaches Umi, "...Sanel is happy here, but Sanel feels like he should wander again. It doesn't feel right for Sanel to remain here." 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' Umi says, "Haha, well, This one considers you important too but it's a different kind of important--" She pauses. "Hmm.. how to put this...maybe like, you're like a little brother..?" Umi's eyes widen. "woah woah woah, who says I need protecting?" She points at Sanel. "No way! /I'm/ gonna protect you!" Umi nods firmly, crossing her arms. "Cause I'm a certified badass, the only kinda protecting I take is two-way! So that's the best deal you're gonna get outta me, Sanel, back to back not hiding behind." Umi grins. "Deal?" Her focus is there for the moment.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' "Big Sis!" The boy beams. Being referred to as the little brother makes Sanel very happy. In fact, it shows when Sanel is nodding repeatedly. However, as she points at him, Sanel blinks as she points at him. "Certified... Badass?" It takes a bit of thinking. She protects him and he protects her. Back to back. He brightens a smile and he brings her into that bearhug once more. "Deal! Sanel and Umi-Yumi back to back!" 

:'''[[Emi Dennou]] has posed:''' "Urk!!" Umi gasps out. That terrible, crushing strength! "Hahaha *wheeze* Great we're *cough* agreed then--uhh..." Pause. "we good then?" She pats Sanel on the head a couple times.

}}
:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' The vast savannah makes up the Giza Plains, covering the land in rich green foliage. The summer weather allows the patterns to sprout the low growing shrubbery and leafy trees that grow quite high. It is within those plains that has a path up ahead where the cavarans normally send supplies from Carwen and up northward through various spots. Unfortunately, rumors spread over the past couple of days that a growing presence of a creature has kept merchants from getting far. Many crusaders have attempted to slay the beast, but many of them were sent back in stitches or worse. Some may have heard rumors of the beast dwelling and sleeping within the region. Others may have heard of a child who may had wandered off towards the direction of where the beast dwells. This path has been abandoned by most of the creatures. 

:'''[[Alma Hyral]] has posed:''' So Alma really had no interest in fighting an Ochu. Most of all because she knew bounty hunters would be attempting to claim it for the posting Helena put up. Whatever Helena had planned, she really wanted no part of it. That wasn't out of spite, just because she just literally wanted to not cross her path any longer, in any way. But the rumors of a small boy with blue hair and an oversized coast had attracted her to the region. Mainly because she wanted to check up on Sanel's progress. With her was a detail of two Archadian guards, as they traipsed about, searching.. trying to find some sign of the boy as they went by the few people that were left on the road. There weren't any caravans to question since the beast had waylaid the last few. This questioning eventually led them to this abandoned path which had an eerie stillness that the girl found disquieting. Her guards were on edge as well... and she contemplated going back. She decided not to however, she just walked on with a greater sense of wariness for their surroundings.

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' Serah Farron had better days... getting lost in the middle of a battlefield ended up fighting her way out, and leave on a stretcher. Not very pleasant. But fortunatly there was good healers, so she got back on feet... and now ended up in a completly different around of the world somehow. Funny how that happens in this world. But adventure! Only, its not really what she wanted either. It was a mistake,r eally. She happened to be curious about the 'notice' board about an Ochu, someone picked up her bags instead of their own, so she chased, and people thought she was joining the adventure. So there she is, sitting atop of the caravan to rest her feet, sighing and wondering what she's doing here. "You really think you're going to need a healer for this?" She asks for what seems to be the 10th time. Not that she was against making money, but she was tired after last time. She kicks her legs a bit, boredly.

:'''[[Evja]] has posed:''' And some types were simply passing through on the way to other lands. One of them happened to be the the resident Vieran Judge who happened to be here and there across the World of Ruin, Evja. Wearing 'her' full armor at the moment and cloak, the Jylland Judge wandered through the plains along the path while headed towards Macalania woods. Today, as ever, Evja rides atop the same Chocobo she has always had. Only, it's a light blue color, for those that had previously seen it a shade of yellow. Fancy that. Evja had one hand on the reins with a spear in the other as she looked faintly around for any sign of beasts. They were present and plentiful at one point. Cockatrices, wolves, various things. But now... Nothing.

:'''[[Montag]] has posed:''' Montag was prone to taking merc jobs off duty that didn't go against his employers interests. If there was anything to say about his habit, it kept him sharp and him not hounding for a raise given the sorts of things he had to put up with. So here he was, sans his Shinra combat helmet and hes' got a bandana on with wrap around shades today it seems. However he was making sure to keep with any of the others hunting this thing, so here he was as he looks at Serah "It's not like humans are the apex predator of every world out there. SO better safe than sorry. Then again I enjoy blasting things that think we're food or play things." He's also got a tagger unit with him of some sort funny that still the Shinra trooper seems to be friendly enough all things considered.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' There is great stillness in this abandoned path of the plains. One who would tread the place were told to tread carefully. After all, the beasts that dwell here were gone. They may have departed from the forest due to the great threat of the Lord Ochu that made residence here. "Wheee!!!" That silence was interrupted as the faint sight of something massive tossed into the air and caught within the arms. "Wheee!!!" There it goes again. If one was to look ahead, they could see that the source of the chucked object was not an object, but a creature. It was a massively large creature, whose current expression likely unconscious. They will find that the source of the sound(and likely the source of EVERY MONSTER DEPARTING THE AREA) is a little boy with an oversized blue coat. The one-eyed boy glances over at the arriving party. The visibly eye widens, but then his attention falls back towards the Lord Ochu. HUG! One can hear a squeak, almost like the creature deflates. The poisonous Lord of the Region doesn't seem to have any affect on the boy. "Yaaay! Sanel's new friend~! Sanel is happy that ChuChu is here for Sanel!"+

:'''[[Alma Hyral]] has posed:''' Due to that stillness, her guards already had their Magitek rifles drawn. Each one was slowly doing a sweep of the area as they travelled with a barrel of the rifle pointed down only slightly. /Wheee/! Yep, Alma knew that voice immediately. She just put up a hand, telling her guards to hold off on any hostilities, as they continued to advance forward. Her frumpy voluminous white mage robes sweeping very close to the ground as they advanced ahead. And then she saw Sanel chucking the massive monster into the air, then hugging it. Alma immediately took on her best /Mom/ look, which had the appearance of one that hadn't fully developed due to her lack of experience and age, glaring harshly at Sanel, she crossed her arms. And then she stated pointedly with her best disapproving tone, "Sanel, you put that horrible monster down this /instant/ and get over here!" Her guards looked at her like she'd lost her mind.

:'''[[Vespa]] has posed:''' Wee? Monsters don't go weee, Vespa get a bit closer and see a little boy hugging a large monster. She blinks, the blinks again. She looks over at Alma shouting at the kid. This is starting to get a bit surreal now. "I'm not really sure who to feel more sorry for in this situation, the monster or the kid..", she just watches this unusal situation unfold for now.

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' Sweatdrop. That's about the only reaction Serah has about this. She watches, mouth open as the boy is hugging the large Ochu... who probably isn't too pleased about it... Or she would think at least. Monsters and human don't go well together, especially when one preys on the other for subsistance... And the other chases for the sake of killing (or for the occasional collector wanting their tentacules for whatever reason...). Either way... its even more surreal when Alma pipes up about letting it down, as if you'd tell a kid to let go of a cat. Okay, she definitely should have stayed home today.

:'''[[Evja]] has posed:''' "..." Evja simply stared as a giant monster flew straight up into the air, then came back down, and somewhere nearby he heard the name Sanel. Oh gods above, it couldn't be... But likely was. Sighing softly, Evja shook her head a bit and spurred her chocobo to wander towards the scene in question. Might as well check it out and see who was there. But who was that shouting towards him? Evja didn't recognize the girl, though she had a couple of Archadian guards with her. Questions.

:'''[[Montag]] has posed:''' Montag pauses at the sound of a whee. What the heck was that he sees something huge tossed and he takes another step back. Just what the heck was that he takes another good look and then sees a child rushing in and he's unaffected that alone sets alarm bells off. Even more so the kid is talking in the third person. Also Chuchu?! Ya he's just going to keep a type back from his guy he looks at Alma and nods once and back to the kid. He's got such a bad feeling about this. "So nice job with the monster ... kid."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' EARLIER! Lord Ochu was enjoying its nap. It was enjoying a nice, long nap. When it was around, there were still creatures that resided the area. Sure, they kept their distance from the beast. But, they were still there. It was, however, until it woke up that it noticed that the entire place was cleared. It was an eerie silence, as if it was ghost town. And then it saw... It. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-------- The monster could only shake as it came face to face with the child. Maybe if it played dead, It would go aw--HGHK! Too late. NOW! ...And that was how Lord Ochu found himself in this demeaning position. Sanel is hugging onto the creature until Alma and the company move closer. His visible eye gazes at the guards accompanying---"Almmy~!" The boy beams---until she has a harsh glare at him. Sanel already shrinks back as comical tears come out of his eyes, hugging the monster TIGHTER! *SQUEAK* "B-but... Sanel and ChuChu are friends! ChuChu stuck around Sanel when all of the creatures ran away." At the sight of the vieran judge, Sanel's visible eye lights up with glee, almost tempted to put the monster down in favoring for loving and squeezing the life out of the judge, "BunBun~!" And then there is the man o his chocobo. Knobby is gazed over, the urge to hug it rising. However, Sanel does notice more and more people arriving and nearing him. "...Many people." That single eye narrows, "...Take ChuChu from Sanel?"

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' Serah Farron jumps off the caravan... she has no idea what to do about this... She hopes the others know, because she's utterly confused, and speechless. She's watching the Ochu turning all sorts of colors except for green as its getting squeezed like that. She stratches her head at it too. Well... Ochu isn't harming anyone at least "... Are we supposed to take care of the Ochu, or the boy scaring all of the monsters away?" She asks to the cloests adventurer.

:'''[[Vespa]] has posed:''' Uh-oh. She doesn't want to see a kid cry now.. She looks over at Serah. "I'm going to try something..", she looks over at Sanel. "We don't want to take away ChuChu from you, it just that chuChu", Vespa can't belive she is waying that.,"He's causing alot of trouble for people saying here, if he stays any longer he might get hurt, you don't want you freind to get hurt right?", she going to try and take this nice and slow..

:'''[[Alma Hyral]] has posed:''' Alma actually rubs a hand against her forehead as the boy reacts badly, her voice becoming more gentle, "Sanel. I'm not cross with you. It's good to see you again. I just would like to see Chuchu safe.. safely away from here." Even if it would be more them saving the monster from Sanel. "Are you hungry? I could make you something..." Her guards are still looking at Alma like she has indeed, lost her mind. She looks sidelong to the others, "Let's.. let's see if I can talk him down.." She murmurs.

:'''[[Montag]] has posed:''' Montag is having the terrible thought this kid may be the result of something the R&D division might have done. He just is a bit agape for a moment and he tilts his head looking at the kid and stares. Whatever this kid it it shouldn't have the monster. Hell Montag is feeling sorry for the darn thing. Given they might have a use for it alive? Also leaving it with this kid might be even too inhumane for the Shinra as a whole. Still others are speaking and perhaps better able to handle it such as Vepsa he'll let one of the many battle maids of Valkyri do the talking for now. He totally thinks they are all crazy battle Maids who do cleaning when they are not hunting things.

:'''[[Evja]] has posed:''' 'BunBun' The Viera cringes at that, like a dog who was trained to cringe when someone raised their hand from repeated beatings. Seemingly this one was used to Sanel in some fashion or another(Breath-taking hugs, literally). Was this seriously going on? Negotiating with Sanel over this beast? Sigh. "At least it is not a Malboro." Evja mumbles softly, mostly to herself, before tapping the chocobo with a foot to keep it walking towards where Sanel was. Might as well let the others handle this. Oddly enough, Evja was certain if the beast lashed out, Sanel would be the first to whack the crap out of it.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Tears swell up along that single eye, and then anger is seeping in. However, the defensive barrier is vaguely quelled as the young maid approaches him. Sanel slowly starts to calm down. After all, Sanel is weak against cute faces. "...Sanel doesn't want ChuChu hurt, Pink Axey." Vespa has earned the pet name [Pink Axey]. If the creature could, it would debate that in pain. However, the eyes fall over towards Alma, who takes a more gentle tone with the boy. Almmy~ Sanel is starting to calm down and is starting to put the creature down. "Sanel miss his Almmy. Sanel wants to protect his Almmy because Sanel likes Almmy." However, his attention falls towards Locke, who kneels to his level. Sanel gazes at the taller man who had kneeled to his very level. He tilts his head to the side, nodding. "Nnn! Sanel would like mi---" Suddenly, a tiny little leafer is springing along, hissing. The vorpal bunny glares around until----... Its eyes meet Sanel's single eye. It is gone. It quickly hops away while on that leaf. "MiniBun! Come back---!" Sanel's attention deficiency gets the best of him. ...And Sanel is gone. Just like that. By this time, the massive monster is slowly rumbling to life. It's grumble is heard, the tentacles waving about as the beast sniffs around. Lord Ochu, the majestic creature, had its pride kicked pretty hard and ended up the plaything of That Thing! It notices that there are many people around. However, it feels about to ensure that the boy is not around. ...Oh thank Ochu, It's no longer around. Back to these people. The fury of the beast is likely enough to push the group to a distance from it as the tentacles flail everywhere. It bellows out a warcry. ///ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOARRRRRRRRRR/// It's not happy at all. 

:'''[[Vespa]] has posed:''' Yes Vespa plan is working! Pink Axy?? She hope the rest of VALKRI never hear that one,S he never live it down. Then out of no where kid got distrated by a new pet. "Ah kid wait!",and off he goes. she turns hearing the creature starting to wake up. "Not good!", she starts to back up putting her axe out in front of her ready for combat. It's shout rattles Vespa's eardrum. "Great..."

:'''[[Locke Cole]] has posed:''' Locke cranes his head back, blinking as the beast is released. He squints against the roar, deciding the best course of action is to take a handful of steps back rather then risk being the closest to the rather perturbed beastie.

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' Serah Farron eeeps as the Ochu just roars out. Oh, its definitely not happy. Now it looks more like the problem that the warrant was about. She has the reflex of hiding behind the caravan! Hey, its big, she's a small girl, don't judge her. "Okay, that answers the questio... I think?" She doesn't know, but its scary enough now! The boy... might just be confused...? Or a beastmaster? She doesn't know, but he's clearly the less dangerous of the two right now. Still gotta wonder what really scared the other monsters away though.

:'''[[Alma Hyral]] has posed:''' The adolescent girl was literally facepalming, though her cheeks had taken on a scarlet flush from Sanel's proclamation. "Sanel, I'm glad you're safe but you really ought to get over here.. we can discuss that later..." And then... he's off after the leafer. Double facepalm. And then the Ochu was roaring in anger, at them. If she had a third hand, she'd be facepalming with that one too. She speaks to her two guards. "Just spread out, take cover, and get ready for suppressing fire. His Honor Gabranth would be upset if I risked your lives needlessly." The two do just that, spreading out and taking cover from what's sure to be the monster's wrath. Alma on the other hand just begins to glow with a yellow corona which puts off a soft radiance throughout the area. Then gravity around her shifts, and she's spiralling upward a good twenty feet to get a better view of what they have to work with here. Being a white mage with a good range of mobility did have it's advantages. Then she's looking around at the other seemingly dumbfounded adventurers, wondering why absolutely noone is attacking. That Ochu looked /really/ upset there.

:'''[[Montag]] has posed:''' Montag seems to have made the right call or he thinks. He's very glad he didn't say anything at all then he pauses seeing a leafer. Oh heck he's heard about these things. He knows about these things they will devour someone like some sort of shark. There's no time to worry about that there are a whole lot more as the beast is freaking out. there is tentacles going everywhere okay he's raising his rifle and preparing this is going to come to a bid damn fight. As much sympathy as he has for the beast he's got no plans to die for it ot get mauled for it's sake. He might stop short of killing it though. Cause seriously that kid creeps the hell out of him.

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' If the battle is going to start, Serah rather stay on the sidelines... She was pushed into the fight yesterday and she ended up on her face in the grass. Dirtnaps are not a good night when people are tossing spells and using swords around. But from the sidelines... she can still protect the teammates, casting enhancing spells. So that's what she does. A shimmering shield of light, in blue and green, surrounding Locke and Evja.

:'''[[Evja]] has posed:''' "Poor Thing." That's all Evja could say regarding the leafer before leaning forward and covering his helmet with two hands near the ear area as if he was in pain. Loud noises didn't settle too well with Viera, nor particularly foul smells. Thankfully someone had the foresight to start casting defensive magics and, picking out the Judge as one of the targets, Evja turned a bit atop the chocobo to nod towards Serah and stare a moment as if she was familiar before turning and jumping high into the air. A dragoons training obvious for those who have knowledge in such, Evja was perhaps attempting to act as a distraction to the beast, making it look up at her while she began to glow golden in the air.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' What kept the monster placated(in fear) was now gone. Sanel ran off to chase a new pet that suddenly stole his attention. Meanwhile, Lord Ochu is starting to grumble, looking very displeased over the various adventurers. A hiss is erupting from its throat, the pink, leafy monster lifts its poisonous tendrils up and it waves around. Its feelers move about, trying to get a feel of the presence of people around. The adventurers who invade ITS territory will suffer. As such, its tendrils are whipping out and about, seeking to swing across towards the adventurers who stand within its path. The poisonous vine seeks to knock the group of adventurers into the air. Those guard will be chow as well! 

:'''[[Alma Hyral]] has posed:''' Luckily her guards have taken cover behind rocks and manage to avoid the worst of it. One of them coughs from the seeds dispersed their way. A vine whip catches Alma off-guard, and she swings her trajectory upwards to try and miss the brunt of it, but it still strikes her with enough force to raise welts and contusions. Her guards start firing with the Magitek rifles. A volley of suppressing fire mars the side of the Ochu. Alma on the other hand, places a hand above her head. A sigil forms in the place where her palm strikes. A tiny swirling orb of radiance begins to appear, which gradually grows, becoming what looked like a tiny star. Little flares of holy energy cascaded off it's surface as it continued to grow, and she looked down at /Chuchu/ with a serenity which seemed to contradict this dire situation. Polaris. Effulgent guide of the Northern skies... She lowers a hand, and the orb is cast at the Ochu. It reaction holding it together collapses into critical mass, and explodes into a pyre of burning luminescence which is remarkably well controlled.

:'''[[Vespa]] has posed:''' Lord Ochu tendris lash about Vespa does her best to block most of them with her axe but a few get through and find herself in the air. "Let go of me!",she says swinng her massive axe at the tendrils and tires to get back down on the ground.

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' hiding behind the caravan was apparently a good idea. The attack went right over her harmlessly, while she could concentre her magic to protect more people from the lashes. Its a group effort alright! She's a good healer. Must be the pink.

:'''[[Montag]] has posed:''' Montag is a very mobile fighter and he's now air born thankfully he's in the liar now and he's not even bothered as the hip mounted grapples fire and he's already moving along as he does hit he's already lining up his rifle. He takes aim for a moment long even as he moves before firing off a trio of bursts before swings on as he tries to keep from staying still if that thing hits it's not going to be very fun for him and he doesn't intend to lose his pay on a medical bills or healers.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Suppressing fire from the guards manage to do the job of keeping the monster at bay. Lord Ochu was becoming rather agitated. Each pellet-like shots has it twitching repeatedly from the soldiers, causing the monster to pedal away, giving Alma ample time to drop down a burst of holy energy, which explodes into pyre. The monster does not scream. It does not give out the cry. It is above those humans! It is above them all! The Lord Ochu, in its anger, insead screeches out its warcry to the dwellers of the forest. Vespa's axe manages to cut through one of the tentacles. In a horrid reaction, the beast gives off a howling screech now. Its limb! And then, there is their other member going into hiding and healing. And then the creature gets three bursts of volleys from the ShinRa guard. It screechs in annoyance, seeking to cause the bodies to shudder. This will give it ample time for its vines to snap out towards the group, seeking to smack against them. Not long after that, a multitude of vines are cracking at the group, seeking to smack against them pretty hard.

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' Even hiding behing the caravan apparently doesn't protect her from the vines sticking out of the ground! That's a sneaky Ochu, really! She eeks, and jumps more in sight of it, since there was no hiding from it anyway. It probably can smell her. Or feel her. Or just attracted by the pink. Either way, she's gotten closer to the group, and uses her magic to heal up her comrades this time "Don't give up, I've got your back!"

:'''[[Alma Hyral]] has posed:''' Lord Ochu screeches out it's warcry, which was rather terrible to her ears. Even in her current state, she winced beside herself, covering her ears. That gave it the opening it needed to strike her with the vines... She was knocked downward, dipping in her trajectory. Before rising up again. Serah's healing spell washes over her, and she looks sidelong at her, smiling despite herself. She nodded her head in thanks to the woman, before turning her efforts back to the creature. The two soldiers began to charge up their rifles, firing more powerful overload shots at the dread Lord Ochu. Magitek blaster bursts that exploded when they struck Lord Ochu. Alma on the other hand... begins to move, very fast. Time out. All around the sky, seventeen sigils began to appear. One at a time, as she passed by each section of the air as a yellow blur, zipping around in a seemingly chaotic pattern. When it was finished, they all joined with dancing lines of energy, creating a constellation known as Draco. Draco Bahamut, Guardian of the Infinite Clouds.. Dread Lord Ochu? Meet Draco Bahamut, King of the Dragons in his Celestial form. A construct of animated light. A translucent blue outline of a dragon forms over the seventeen stars. An animated sinewy, and powerful looking dragon which moved in an entirely lifelike manner. All seventeen of the stars which made up it's internal skeleton twisting and moving with it, in time. Each of it's fangs and talons were small razors of white light, to contrast it's otherwise blue form, these clamp down on dread Lord Ochu in a quite physical manner, causing burns rather than actual lacerations, as it grappled with it, wings beating furiously. ....bring swift judgement.

:'''[[Vespa]] has posed:''' Ow. Ow. Ow! Those vines hurt, and Vepsa in the air, again. Why does this keep happening?!?! "I said let go so let go!", she says swing her axe hopeing to cut a few more of the vines. Oh and someone summmond a dragon. Neat.

:'''[[Montag]] has posed:''' Montag is trying to help the guard he lived this lives for a long time. AS he keeps moving he's going to try to keep moving he does not like fighting in flat terrain like this, however? He does notice some tree's just close enough and his grapple fires off even as he's caught by the beasts latest world of pain he manages a shot but it does not do much good. The grapple whines as it pulls him in and he's now perched on a large branch. he's got the range he needs and fires a few quick shots more trying to test the range before he does something bigger and badder.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' The vines are cut by the massive axe of the woman, causing the creature to screech in paina gain. Another vine rears back, ready to strangle the maid. The Dread Lord Ochu lifts up. It 'see' the presence of the celestial summons. As the construct of animated light manifests and then it comes down with those fangs, the massive jaws of light strike down and sink into the beast causing it to roar in pain. It attempts to reel away and use its most dreaded attack. ..ZzZzZzZzz.... Lord Ochu is asleep. That's right. He is asleep. And Montag gets a few good shots in. It takes up. It becomes angry. And then it jumps up into the air and starts stomping on the ground. It keeps striking down on the earth that begins shuddering the ground. Those few trees about are starting to collapse, seeking to knock Alma and a few others down on the ground and into the shuddering earth. 

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' Serah Farron goes wide eyed when the Ochu gets angry. Apparently it needed that nap, because it wakes up very cranky! She keeps giving her verbal encouragements, as she jumps on top of the caravan, narrowly evading the vines and seed bombs throw her way. No, the Ochu isn't going to get a taste of pink today. Instead, its going to get more of a lash back from her companions, as she keeps layering the benefic effects on them. She seems to be well talented in this kind of magic too, maybe she just has a gentle and loving personality.

:'''[[Alma Hyral]] has posed:''' She manages to avoid the worst of the onslaught, by dipping down, and lowering herself beside the Dread Lord Ochu. The Celestial Construct of Bahamut persists, remaining near Dread Lord Ochu. Before it unleashes a breath of scathing luminescence from its maw, in the form of white fire. Then each of the stars wink out and it vanishes. Stand back. An order mostly to her guards, but also to anyone else. She concentrates... And distortions appear within the air. Little tears of multicolored light, like the ambient light in the area were being filtered through a prism. A moment later, Alma and the Dread Lord Ochu are encased in a white cube of perfect dimensions. A hundred feet in width, length, and depth. Noone from the outside can see exactly what happens inside of it... It only lasts about ten seconds perhaps. Until the cube shatters. And Lord Ochu, if he managed to get caught within it.. well let's just say he doesn't look like he had the most wonderful experience in the world.

:'''[[Vespa]] has posed:''' "<GOOSHONK!>", Vespa says as Ochu goes up then comes down slamming into the earth and knocking her down to ground. She surpised she didn't break anything. She gets back "Okay Al we are ending this!", she bring her massive axe up gripping it tight with both her hands as it starts to glow with a dark aura. "Die.", she says and brings it down on Lord Ochu cutting the air in two and posisbly Lord Ochu as well.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' All considering the fact that Lord Ochu was asleep, he was getting some good naps in. However, between the boy making its life hell and these strangers invading his territory, he plans to show everyone why he rules this area. That lashing, he sought to make sure everyone was in pain. If not fallen. Then it will nap! However, crush stupid humans first. Vespa had channeled her axe over to hack the thing into two. However, she will find that, while the creature was vulnerable to the axe's blade, she will find that the monstrosity is more sturdy than expected. And yet, what soon sets it off? Well, Alma and the Dread Lord Ochu are encased in that white cube. It is a large, expansive cube. It sleeps... Sleeps. *SHATTER!* The Lord Ochu undergoes the most unpleasant experience. It crashes to the ground with a large thud, fallen unconscous. It is wounded, but it is alive. The strangest thing, however, is that some device activates on it. The fallen creature is fizzling, before it suddenly blinks out of existence. It looks like someone used a transporting device on it. The field is left empty, save for all of the creatures that are slowly returning to the plains.... 

:'''[[Alma Hyral]] has posed:''' Alma reappers outside of the cube as Dread Lord Ochu is transported away. The corona around her dims, then fades away almost instantly. She stumbles, then sags down to a seated position, her breath heaving. She looks.. tired. Perhaps diminished, in some way. Her expression was abstracted, distant, and unfocused, her affect flat. Her two guards approached her now that the battle was over, their rifles hoisted over their shoulders again. She didn't look like she was going to be rising anytime soon from that seated position, even to congratulate the others on their victory.

:'''[[Vespa]] has posed:''' Vespa pants catching her breath as the monsters disapears to wherever is being sent to. "Well that takes care of that..", she leans against her axe. "Good job Al.", she looks around to everyone else. "Good job to you all as well. I'm so taking a nice long bath when I get home.."

:'''[[Serah Farron]] has posed:''' Serah Farron moves down from her perched point when the Ochu goes down, phewing. Well, that went well enough. Most people are in good shape it seems, none seriously hurt... save for the Ochu. Maybe Sanel would be too happy about it, but its alive at least. She moves over to put a hand on Alma's shoulder 'Are you alright?" She asks concerndly as she doesn't seem to be moving much..."

:'''[[Alma Hyral]] has posed:''' The guards were typically rather wary of people approaching their charge. But they'd seen that Serah was a healer, and they too were concerned. They didn't harry her. Instead they just watched carefully. Alma doesn't appear all that injured. Several parts of her robes were lined with green where the Vines had whipped into her. Serah places a hand upon Alma's shoulder. And she doesn't move.. She doesn't respond to the stimulus. Not at first, until about a minute later when she looks back up at Serah. "Oh um..." A wan smile appearing upon her visage as she looked up at her, and began to allow herself to rise, dusting off the lower skirts of her white mage robes. "...I'm fine. Thank you. Is anyone hurt? I can help tend to the injuries.."

:'''[[Vespa]] has posed:''' Vespa pants catching her breath as the monsters disapears to wherever is being sent to. "Well that takes care of that..", she leans against her axe. "Good job Al.", she looks around to everyone else. "Good job to you all as well. I'm so taking a nice long bath when I get home.. I'll be okay with some rest.."

:'''[[Montag]] has posed:''' Montag has a high powered round loaded, the sort he used against the monster heartless when it attacked Goug. He lowers his weapon seeing the battle is over and adjusts his shades a little bit as he hops down from the tree. "Not bad we got it down alive. I'm going to be able to grab that bike I been eyeing and we didn?t lose anyone. I call that an S rank op."

}}
:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' The heat and humidity are as much a blanket as the thick canopy above is a shroud, shafts of light cutting through the mass of broad leaves and vines above as the air itself weighs down upon those who venture through the Golmore Jungle. The rainforest is vibrant with diverse forms of life, all the more so since the fusion of worlds has left displaced flora and fauna with nowhere else to dwell, and at times it's impossible to tell whether the strange plants and creatures which somehow exist side by side always did so or have simply been jumbled together. To that which thrives here, the question is irrelevant, but to hunters and alchemists, the new vastness of the jungle has become a fabled treasure trove still yet to be fully explored. A seeker of rare items has heard tell of a so-called 'Blind Ochu' which now resides here and has offered an impressive reward for the distinct yellow flower atop its head to be plucked and brought to them. Supposedly, the Ochu need not be slain to accomplish this, but even unusual subspecies of Ochus -- if that /is/ what it is -- may be escorted by a vanguard of smaller monsters. Details are scarce, so not too many Clans have jumped at this offer despite the possible gain. Of course, Ivo Galvan always has an ulterior motive. "From what I've gathered," the knight-errant is saying, even as he wipes the sweat from his brow, hiking over tangled roots and thick underbrush, "the clearing up ahead in which this 'Blind Ochu' typically dwells is abundant with many rare plants and herbs. The fibrous leaves of the 'red toyon' are said to be highly fire-resistant." He looks over at Maira, smiling. "There may not be much of it, but that should be fine." His smile turns slightly mysterious as he looks off into the brush. "We won't need a lot of material in any case." Rather than dwell on that, he looks over toward Reize, his smile broadening into a grin. "It's been a while since we were able to venture together, chief," he adds with a hint of mirth. "How's our heading? Are we on the right track?" In fact, Ivo knows perfectly well where they're going, having studied the map very closely and possessing a compass of his own. But asking Reize directional questions never stops being entertaining.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "Whew! I think we're making good heading. We are definitely on the right track!" A grin. "I can feel it." Unfortunately, relying on Reize for directions is like relying on a blind bat to lead you out of the cave. It is something that is not pretty, painful, and will result in lots of bruises. Thankfully, Ivo had been leading the group onward. This helps for the times that the boy feels that he is in the right direction(but will lead them into peril). The adventurous boy is wandering along the heat of the jungle, sweat perspiring along his face. The young teenager pulls his waterjug and uncorks it, taking a swig before wiping a brow. He is already feeling musty thanks to the humidity. Eeesh. ! However, Reize is turning his head over towards the set of herbs and plants, "Oooh! Let me check over here! I think I may have found something!" He kneels along the field, already rummaging around. "We will find that plant in no time!" He muses, "It has honestly been a long time since I've done activities out in the forest." Reize excels, believe it or not, within the forest. The young ranger feels more than not at home out in the forest, capable of tracking and discerning what is good and bad. However, this is a jungle, so the elements are a bit different. Hopefully, the environment should not be too different. 

:'''[[Sassaral]] has posed:''' Time and care has seen to the full recovery of the little wolf who had been fished out of the Dalmascan sands. Sassaral hadn't much of an idea exactly how exhausted she had been, after doggedly wandering a fraction of this world. Portal-hopping, so to speak. But 'lo and behold, her 'dogged' stubborness had set her up to be quite a case upon her arrival into Fluorgis and into what had been days of rest. Of recuperation. And when she became brave and well enough, Sassaral had come to know this new corner of her world. Fast-forward now to the girl actually tagging along to one such excursion as this. Outfitted in her typical preference of a loose 'bohemian'-style dress of taupe and forest green, with her shock of hair pulled up and coiled around her head beneath a bandana, Sassaral allows her golden gaze to rove in and around the surroundings as the group presses on. Like a good omega she is keeping to the back, and it is there that she can sample the scents of the jungle with the very same relish that a connoisseur might lend to food or wine. Though on occasion, for all of the 'nice' scents, something causes the girl's pert nostrils to flare and the bridge of her nose to wrinkle. For the most part, this place is a /buffet/... and at the hem of the girl's dress, if one really squints, the tip of her tail may be seen wagging softly.

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Luckily (for Ivo any way) Maira is pretty oblivious of his double meaning. She's simply happy that they are willing to help her get materials for some clothing she will not burn! These ulterior motives go un-sensed but the young mage, who walks beside Ivo with a pleased smile on her face as she scans the area, awed by the vast and dense jungle around her. "I've never seen a place like this before...its so lush!" she says, doing a happy little spin.

:'''[[Zargabaath]] has posed:''' Of all the least welcome people in the Golmore jungle, members of the Archadian military may be one of the highest on their list. They usually fly over the jungle and pay little heed to it because of the viera's legendary ability to defend it. However, one person doesn't really care, and isn't here to invade, despite the multitude of small airships outside of the jungle. Despite being in heavy armor, Judge Magister Zargabaath trudges his way through the jungle as well, however, he comes with very very scant others, since the jungle is so thick. Maybe a judge or two to join him, but otherwise, he has come alone. Mostly, to escort these people from Rabanastre into the jungle to meet this 'Blind Ochu' and get the herbs they needed. Why a Judge magister was on this particular mission, however, was a mystery.

:'''[[Minerva]] has posed:''' Maria is not alone Minerva is here and she's not sure at the monsters name so long as it's not a Marboro she'd not take a job for that. At least knowingly, if this turns into a plant tentacle monster fest there will be speaking with fists upon Ivo of a Master Asia level. She keeps up with Maria looking about "So lush, yet so humbid not a place fit for man to be lon term!"

:'''[[Beat]] has posed:''' Beat's role here is essentially as dumb muscle, and he's eager to prove his worth to Shiki's friends after yesterday's shocking incident. Who knew water and electricity didn't mix? It's like some kinda conspiracy, I tells ya! This is, of course, all part of Beat self-imposed rehabilitation schedule. When he both became a Reaper and renounced that title in the space of a week he needed to prove to himself that he was, in a real way, still the person he was before the Reaper's game. Still Daisukenojo Bito. "I a'int built to walk in the forest," he complains lightly, hopping once or twice to kick off some vines that had wrapped around his sneakers. "So we're looking for a plant, yeah? I thought we were just punching some jelly thing... is that not happening anymore?" Beat groans, having just stepped in some deep mud. "...I could really do with punching something right now."

:'''[[Sarafina Carenze]] has posed:''' It's pretty darn hard to land an airship in a jungle even for Sarafina, so she has joined the expedition on foot. She is dubious at the idea of a Blind Ochu. Do Ochus even have eyes to begin with? She's pretty sure they're like 90 percent mouth, 9 percent tentacle, and 1 percent flower tutu. Still, she suspects her chainsaw would work well against it just fine, if there happened to be one. And if it couldn't see, so much the better, though hopefully it's not like a blind ninja ochu because, what, would it have a black tutu?? "Maira. Sassaral. be cautious. Ochus are not to be taken lightly." She says. She's less worried about Reize since he seems specifically trained for this environment.

:'''[[Cirra Constantine]] has posed:''' The Judge Magister walks through the Jungle. Followed by .... a regular Judge! Well 'regular' Judge in air quotes. Cirra Constantine trails behind Zargabaath by only a few paces, her own heavy armor doesn't seem to be bothing her in this heat and humidity very much, but she pauses to occasionally look around. "I don't think we should put all our faith in that boy Reize. His sense of direction is..." "...Woefully tragic."

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' "Lush indeed," Ivo says mildly, the young swordsman's eyes on the twirling Maira as the corners of his lips quirk up in amusement. "Its vibrant beauty serves as a suitable backdrop for you." But he doesn't let his teasing go too far today; diverting banter is one thing, and distraction from the mission is another. Besides, Minerva is here, sticking close to Maira and maybe looking just a little suspicious. Has Avira been spreading bad rumors about him? "With your help, I'm sure we won't be here any longer than we have to be. Thanks for your help, Minerva." It's nice to be teamed up with members of VALKYRI this time. Despite his playful tone, Ivo's gaze tends to calm rove about their surroundings, staying focused. Still, generally perceptive though he may, it's Reize who has experience with forests, and the boy is the first to spot some useful flora. "We must be close," the knight-errant remarks, placing a hand on his hip as he grins. "This is promising." His grin shifts to Sassaral. He's seen her about Shard Seekers HQ, one of their many errant guests, but while she was recovering from her injuries he never had much chance to converse with her. "I'm glad you could join us, Sassaral," he says. "Any friend of Reize's is a friend of mine. Smell anything interesting?" His eyes flicker to her wagging tail, which seems to delight him a little, if the sparkle in his eye is any indication. Still, distracting though it is, it's hard to ignore the two armored judges crunching their way through the jungle. Even Sarafina's striking wings can't divert Ivo from what seems to him the sheer absurdity of the vision, for all Zargabaath's stoic solemnity. "No need for alarm, Judge Constantine," he says lightly. "Our last mission went well, yes?" Of course, Reize wasn't there. His gaze strays curiously to Zargabaath, who hasn't said much. "I see you've brought a friend this time." He doesn't quite understand what these judges are about; he doesn't want to get on their bad side, but he's too curious to not ask /any/ questions. The trees are beginning to thin. The clearing should be just ahead, and though nothing yet can be seen or heard, Sassaral may begin to smell something /quite/ distinctive -- and not altogether pleasant.

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira falls back to speak with Sarafina and Minerva, smiling and nodding at Saraf's warning. "I'll be careful! Do you know much about this monster? I don't suppose its ah....sensitive to fire?" she asks, hopeful, her amber eyes shining. When she catches back up to Ivo, she is crashed into once more by his flattery, causing her to blush a deep red, while simutaneously causing the air around the knight-errant to become quite a bit colder with the ire of Uist's presence. Indeed, Ivo might find that very suddenly, he trips over seemingly nothing. "Uist!" Maira hisses, scolding. Grumbling, Maira crosses her arms and glares at her ghostly companion. "Scout ahead will you?" she asks him, then looks back to everyone there, showing a shy smile to any who happen to be looking at her funny as she talked to Mr. Invisible.

:'''[[Sarafina Carenze]] has posed:''' Sarafina doesn't recognize either of the Judges and elects to not say anything to them. They are clearly knights of some sort though in what capacity they act is uncertain. the term of 'Judge' is confusing. Judges generally are at home in the courthouse by her understanding, not the jungle, nor are they typically heavily armored. She does say however, "We can handle ourselves. The question is merely a matter of how ... smooth the operation will be." She tells the Judge. She is distracted from posturing for the moment however by Maira who asks a question. "Mm--I have heard that they are harbingers of disease and pestilence. That their breath alone can wipe out a regiment." She pauses for a moment, glancing over to Ivo who seems to be in charge of this expedition. "--As for its weaknesses I cannot say, but I would be careful with fire in a forest that we happen to be inhabiting. I can only carry one out of here." The ghost again! Sarafina bites her tongue. She has learned there is a lot she doesn't understand and that speaking unneccessarily is just pure trouble. Did he just--no, Ivo must surely have just tripped. Unfortunately this sort of undercuts the image she was trying to project of the group being rather professional and not-insane. She rubs her face with her hand in mild frustration. On that front Beat isn't helping either, calling ochus jellies and whatever the hell. Who is this guy? Why is he wearing that funny hat? What's with his dialogue?? Sarafina is glad she has learned to only think of these things and not say them lest someone realize she is not as on top of matters as she'd really like to be. Image is part of being a commander.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "It's good that you're finally able to join us, Sassaral!" He brightens to a grin, tilting his head over, "I am hoping that you stay with us!" The young man grins wider. He is in a cheerful mood. Beat is addressed as well, "Hehehe! Don't worry, it takes some time to get used to! Shiki was not used to traveling herself! After a while, I am certain that you will get used to traveling!" As the leader of the Shard Seekers, Reize has to act as such. "...I want to thank all of you for joining this expedition. I promise that this will be a great adventure for us all!" His antenna hair perks, Reize's eyes brighten as he finally sees what is likely the blind Ochu's yello flower. Reize is leaning his body very low... Reaching for it... ... And then Cirra's comment. Reize creens his head towards the judge, his eyes narrowed at her. "Ooooii! That's mean to say! My directions are not all bad! I do get us in the right direction at times! And I can track very well!" His cheeks puff up indignantly. This made him lose his train of thought. Meanwile.. Through the field that Reize had been searching for, the blind ochu is waddling around. It gives off a low growl, its feelers peeling out for food. One of the Picochu approach it. The dialogue exchanged is in subtitles. Picochu: 'Grandpa! Grandpa! We caught dinner!' Blind Ochu: 'Excellent! I'll join with the pack! Keep the good work! ...Do I go right or left, kiddo?' Picochu: 'Ummm, the right, grand---' Suddenly... "Where was I---oh! FOUND IT!!!" A hand grabs the Picochu. The Picochu panics. Reize lifts his hands into the air, giving a satisfied smile while holding his hands up high. He triumphantly holds up the Picochu. "I found the Blind Ochu!" Beam. Meanwhile, the Picochu squeals. Subtitles: 'I NEED AN ADULTTTTTTT!!!!!' Suddenly, behind Reize, many... many... oh god so many Picochus are popping up, glowering behind Reize and the gang. 

:'''[[Sarafina Carenze]] has posed:''' Sarafina Carenze is quiet for a moment as Reize dooms the team again, but for Sarafina this is the first time being in a party with Reize. "Nevermind." She tells the Judges. "We could use your assistance."

:'''[[Sassaral]] has posed:''' The werewolf would be hard-pressed to know what an 'Ochu' consists of. Which is the reason why Sassaral, who is not at all a cocky sort, does not shirk Sarafina's advice. Golden eyes will no doubt seek out the winged woman with a rather warm, knowing look as the girl bows her head once. "I will be careful, I promise." Pledges Sassaral in a sweet, sing-song timbre. And though she has been wrapped up in casing out the surroundings with her sniffer, Sassaral is not oblivious to those with whom she travels. Ivo and Reize are kept in sight almost always, as she girl has deigned the two as 'leaders' in this soiree. Minerva and Maira, too, are met with curiousity. To have gone from solitude to this --- a crew of variable individuals -- has perhaps shocked the little wolf a bit. But like any pack animal, Sassaral falls into form with no complaint whatsoever.... deep instinct gives her a degree of contentment, even, to be part of a group. If she can be useful in any manner, it will liiiiikely be that fine-tuned sense of smell. Which, in fact, raises a yellow flag... Something does smell pretty manky. Sassaral is so distracted by it that she very nearly misses Ivo's acknowledgement of her, but she quickly turns her head to look upon the knight-errant. Indeed she has seen him around and about during her recovery but, as it stands, boasts of little interaction. The sparkle in his eye -- the mirth at her invountary display of intrigue -- causes the girl to tilt her head in question. Her tail stills as she offers up her next tid-bit of information. "I'm pinpointing something... kinda foul, actually." Turning again toward the sight of an emerging clearing, the werewolf tilts her chin up atop the slender talk of her neck and gives the air another deep whiff. Her lips pull back into a grimace, brow furrowing. "Like rot. Like..." It's so nasty that even Reize's spirited reception of her -- that which would make Sassaral glow with happiness -- is shoved aside. "Plant rot... its right ahead---" .... well then. THAT... the Picochu squeals. The call has been made. Sassaral's lips move in a whispered oath.. no doubt some gruff werewolf curse that girls like herself should never utter. ~.~;

:'''[[Zargabaath]] has posed:''' Zargabaath looks towards Cirra as Ivomentions they've been on a mission before. It was an interesting look from her commander, even if they couldn't see his face. "This 'friend' is her superior. I am Judge Magister Zargabaath. It is customary to address us as 'your honor', Galvan." However, his helmeted head turns back towards Cirra. "Sometimes luck plays as much a key factor as skill, Judge Constantine." And then there was that girl who constantly talked to herself. How interesting that she always talked to this 'Vist' person, though he wasn't there. Then Reize finds the Piochu and.....Zargabaath reaches for his sword. "Judge Constantine, I do believe we have a problem."

:'''[[Minerva]] has posed:''' Minerva could also be a distraction who knows however she makes no signs if Avira has said a thing about Ivo to her one way or the other. She smiles and says "It's not a problem. I needed to depart Tranverse town for a time and see some more of the worlds. Prehaps I'll find some part of my St. Ajora willing. We should be wary though." She pauses at the judge sizing the woman up after a moment she gets a bit of a nod as does the other. They were new to her at the very least or prehaps harked to some old legends from her world. Curious...

:'''[[Cirra Constantine]] has posed:''' Cirra starts to emit a deep sense that Ivo's made a faux pas in regards to her 'friend' and she straights up into a very formal stance. "This is His Honour Judge Magister Zargabaath, commander of Archadia's airship fleet." She pauses, looking at Zargabaraath "It was coincidental Your Honuor. They were on the same objective I was already assigned." Then Reize attracts every adult Picochu for a hundred meters. "...I tried to warn you..." She steps forward with a grimace under her helmet as she reaches over her shoulder to draw out the scythe and holds it in both hands. "Don't...move..." she says to Reize.

:'''[[Beat]] has posed:''' You should also be glad Beat says only half of what he thinks, and thinks less than half of what could be said. He unsticks himself and continues on, catching up with Reize enough in fact to give him a hearty slap on the back. "S'alright. Don't worry about it yo - I've got your back, Reize!" Whether or not being slapped on the back when you're attempting something delicate will be a hinderance or a help remains to be seen. "I'm used to being told where to go," Beat admits, hand raising to the back of his head in embarrassment. "Shibuya was also a kinda easy city to navigate... getting lost in the forest's cool though. Don't think I've ever been in one this big before," he glances down at his mud-soaked sneaker. "...that a'int a bad thing though I guess." All of a sudden the group get surrounded by Picohu. Beat goes pale, eyes flashing to Reize in a half-accusatory way. "Well," he says slowly. "I guess I spoke too soon, huh?"

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' Ivo appears nonchalant about his supposed faux pas, if not blithe. This Judge Magister character seems like a tough one to get talking, and more importantly, crossing the line just a little struck him as the best way to get a read on him. As it turns out, Zargabaath, while far from easygoing, does not seem like such a bad sort. Now, time to heal the rift with a witty comment. Go, Galvan cleverness! "Does that--" His sentence is promptly cut off by a face full of dirt. Managing to both hide his bewilderment -- what the hell did he just trip on? he was watching out for roots -- and somewhat preposterously keeping an even expression even as he gets up, brushing leaves out of his hair. "Pardon me, Your Honor," is all he says, staring straight ahead, not making eye contact with anyone. "I was unaware." Brilliant as always. Ivo's only consolation is that his best buddy almost immediately outdoes him in epic fail, the knight-errant watching on bemusedly as Reize activates the, uh, alarm system just as Sassaral's about to warn them about upcoming danger. "I don't think that's it, Reize," Ivo says pointlessly, his tone deliberately much too calm for the situation, even as the Picochu wails incessantly. "The Ochu is said to be... quite... large..." The growing mass of Picochus is bad enough. What crashes through the trees is worse: an enormous Ochu, its crowning yellow flower huge and heavy, having grown long without wilting, fading, or being plucked. The many vines trailing from it whip through the air, rending the surrounding plant life asunder, and its vast maw widens and chomps at nothing. Emitting an ear-piercing shriek, it charges forward-- *CRASH* --past the party and into a tree. An Ochu possesses a row of small eyes above its far more noticable jaws and beneath its flower. All of this ancient Ochu's eyes are a milky white, some of them hidden by an old scar. It seems that this 'Blind Ochu' is, indeed, just a very old Ochu. But that sure is a big flower. The Picochus pause, and begin emitting helpful peeps, until the Ochu has rotated properly and is now facing the correct direction, toward the party, whereupon it shrieks again. Take two. "Those petals must be heavy for you," Ivo remarks idly as he draws Hauteclare, though his eyes are sharper than his tone would suggest. "Why don't we relieve you of your burden? Everyone, we'd better spread out. As Sarafina said, the Ochu can--" Amidst a cacophonous chorus of supportive peeps from the Picochus, the Ochu promptly belches hugely, a horrible pungent smog emerging from its maw -- in the correct direction.

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Perhaps on some level Maira is aware that any attempts to remain professional and at least give the appearance of competence are in vain. Thus, she is never disappointed when they fail! Defense mechanism, right? After all, Maira has been known for chaos and collateral damage. She's none to judge. When they stumble like bumbling idiots, alerting all the creatures to their presence, Maira just sighs a little. "Oh dear..." she begins, her materia beginning to glow. When the Ochu appears however, Maira's eye fly open in shock. That is by far the most terrifying monster she has ever seen! Teeth and vines and-and-and-and.....Awwwww the poor thing really is blind! "The poor thing! Do we have to kill it? That seems--" she is cut off when the thing belches horribly, spewing noxious gas. Maira quickly begins to cast some protective spells as she pulls her shirt up to cover her nose and mouth. Her incantations are muffled, but no less effective as a circle of fire erupts around her and Sarafina, who is generally there and willing to put herself in harm's way for Maira's sake, and Minerva who is also a member of VALKYRI.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Blink. "What is wrong, everyone?" Reize is unaware of the course of the situation. Considering that he feels that he is succesful, well... Tht incessant wailing does get him to look up. "Eh?! I could had sworn I saw it a moment ag--..." And that is when the enormous Ochu shows up. He blinks several times, looking rather confused and just dumbfounded. "I could had sworn I saw that thing a moment ago." And the picochu, badtouched by Reize, finally leans out of its grip and... *CHOMP!* r It bites onto his ahoge. "ARGHGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF!" Reize is flailing around like mad. The horrid smell of its belch has Reize collapse on his back, "GACK!" He twists around and he collapses with a thud. Wincing, Reize, still having the creature gnaw at him... He shouts, "Everyone, we can do this!" He fist pumps. Of course, Reize's cheerful energy tends to bleed off on others.... 

:'''[[Zargabaath]] has posed:''' And trouble they have. Zargabaath makes a bit of a face (not that anyone can see it) at the larger ochu as it comes barreling towards the group. And when it tries to 'gas' them with it's bad breath, Zargabaath wades his way through it, taking it on the chin, metaphorically, and slashing it to open a rather nasty and festering wound. "Judge COnstantine! Bring this larger fiend down with all of your strength! We can't allow the little ones to rally around this one!"

:'''[[Sassaral]] has posed:''' No tangible weaponry here, save for that which lingers deeper in her own soul. The pocket-mirror rests warmly against her thigh but Sassaral is, for a moment, at a loss. Not Good, Not Good. The people here are still too unfamiliar to Sassaral for her to unleash that other side... that, and she does not wish to unleash her inner wolf's favored campaign of 'smash smash SMASH' while the clearing is rife with beasts. Then, all hell really does break loose. Big ol' Papa Ochu is mobilizing in a charge----*WHAM* .. okay, into a tree. That's well, that's /good/. Sassaral breaks out of her reverie and, despite being /more/ than a little aware of the stench she knows that she must act. The stink only increases.. intensifies--- Granted, the little wolf knows naught of Bad Breath and what it entails, but judging by how that funk seems to increase... Ochu is building up to something. And /how/. What a grotesque smog! The little werewolf is mercifully out of range of /that/ mess but she is meanwhile in proximity to the Picochu and the boy adventurer who triggered their wrath! Without thinking, Sassaral draws on her desperation and with a trilling cry, casts forth the spell that comes immediately to mind..! By way of her will, she attempts to toss forth one enchantment in particular.. to shore up her allies!

:'''[[Minerva]] has posed:''' Minerva is a bit suprised at the monster it's a bit like one from her world but well? It could be worse right? the breatch however? Well ya she's just over there away from the group as it starts to spray it's breath all over them. Ivo's warning came just in time for them. She does however seem to be eyeing the flower they didn't need to kill this thing but it could be worse she launches herself at teh best and yes she's going to start punching the darn thing a lot!

:'''[[Beat]] has posed:''' "Aha!" Beat exclaims, finally finding himself on familiar ground. Wandering over a forest? Boring, but tolerable. A whole bunch of weird, vaguely malevolent critters out for blood? A bigger one that sorely needs to be punched in the face? Now we're talking! Beat fumbles in his pocket for his Player Pin for a few moments while the egregious stink passes over the group, which causes him to drop to a knee. "Ugh!" says Beat, covering his nose with the crook of his other arm while still fumbling for the right pin. "Who was tha-- oh, the big thing. I thought it was a jelly?" Finally pulling out the right pin he starts to take evasive action early while spying out somebody to make a pact with. "Alright guys, I'm guessing Shiki's told you the drill. Somebody want to make a Pact with me?"

:'''[[Sarafina Carenze]] has posed:''' Sarafina takes another moment, as noxious gas is spewed into her face, to consider how far she has fallen in life. Maira is so nice she even thinks of the poor family of ochus. Sarafina does not. Instead, as Maira empowers her defenses, Sarafina grits her teeth and draws up her chainsaw. "A pact?" Sarafina is distracted by Beat. "...If it will help, certainly, for now. Tell me what I have to do, and I will try to assist you." He is also a kid who seems to need some parental guidance. Sarafina doesn't fret it much--but she dashes forward, with the jetpack, lashing out at ochus with aerial strikes!

:'''[[Cirra Constantine]] has posed:''' The giant Blind Ochu comes charging through the clearing "Wha-" Cirra's head snaps around to look at the behemoth and then steps back as it charges through, slamming into a tree. "It really is blind-" the belch gags the Judge through the armor and she stumbles backwards a second while she searches for fresh air to breath, uhg terrible. Then Zargabaath commands her. "Yes, your honour!" Cirra takes off at a run, circling sideays around the monster, dodging around the smaller creatures and jumps. She slams hte butt of her scythe at the Ochu and uses it as hte pivot point to jump higher where she slices quickly across it's side and follows through by spinning the scythe overhead and dropping down to try and drag it with her.

:'''[[Beat]] has posed:''' Beat skids over to Sarafina, creating a little calm in the unfolding chaos to provide some condensed exposition. "So okay -- I need to form a pact with somebody to use my psyches, and YOU are the lucky person apparently!" he holds up the Player Pin, a black pin with an ornate white symbol on it. "Just tough this and stay close please! I /knew/ if I hung around with you guys I'd get a chance to hit something - today seems to be my lucky day!"

:'''[[Sarafina Carenze]] has posed:''' Sarafina Carenze pauses as she is frozen into expositionspace. It is clear from her expression that while the gist sunk in, the details totally flew right past her. "So you are saying you require me to touch this in order to use your true power?" Seems harmless enough. "But does that device you are utilizing really provide the maneuverability neccessary in a situation like this? It seems sturdy enough for a board with wheels--I take it you are a budding machinist of some sort?--But I am worried one tentacle may knock you out of the air, but even so I must admire the simplicity of the design, over redundancy in a machine usually causes problems inthe heat of battle...Even so, I must admit I am baffled at how easily you seem to ride it." She pauses. "Oh, right, yes--the pin." touchu.

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' "We don't need to kill it," Ivo calls to Maira from behind the trunk of a thick tree, shielding him from the Ochu's noxious smog. It's true: the monster may be huge and terrifying, but its age and awkwardness are somehow, bizarrely, rather endearing. "We just need that flower!" And to not get killed ourselves, he doesn't bother to add. Under usual circumstances, battle finds Ivo calm, highly focused, and -- in contrast to his usual persona -- sometimes grimly serious, even when provoking his foes. But Reize's infectious enthusiasm, unabated despite the state of ruin he's put their plans in, soon results in a grin from the blue-cloaked knight-errant, shifting his grip on his sword. "I've got your back, Fearless Leader," he replies. "Keep up the pressure on the big guy, okay? I'll see if shaking up the little guys throws off these 'directions' they seem to be giving." As the Judges rush in, showing the rabble just how professionals do it, Ivo blinks as he feels a wave of empowerment wash over him, causing him to glance over to Sassaral and offer her a casual salute, grin broadening again. "Thanks, Sass." Did he just give her a nickname? "You're a sweetheart." Maybe if he compliments her, her tail will wag more. He can't get enough of that. Whereupon he swordsman plunges into the fray, dancing amidst the jungle greenery with blade flashing, weaving his way through a mass of Picochus. "Hey, come on!" he exclaims. "Better save yourself before helping your big friend!" Meanwhile, the Blind Ochu is gnashing its teeth, lashing about heedlessly with its vines. While it clearly cannot see and has difficult navigating unmoving objects when in a rush, it appears sensitive to motion, even vibration through the air, feelers on its vines quivering in response. It's thus able to repel Sarafina's strikes, driving her away with vines upon vines, and is able to brace its huge body against Cirra's attempt to drag it about, though her scythe tears at its body and Minerva's swift punches smash against it. "Guuuooohhhhhh~!" It may be old, but it's got some fight in it. Vines lash out every which way, attempting to seize as many of the surrounding party members as possible. Its range and swiftness may be surprising. It seems rather hapless the way it flails about, but as it does so, drawing attention to itself, it is sneaking its longer vines about the perimeter, some of which it will employ in attempting to bind the heroes. Those who are ensnared may be hefted off the ground and squeezed with crushing force for their troubles!

:'''[[Beat]] has posed:''' Beat looks at Sarafina. Sarafina looks back. You probably lost him at the word 'machinist'. "You're talking about my skateboard?" Beat asks blankly, withdrawing it from the strap on his back where it was all along. ALL ALONG. He glances at it then sidelong at Sarafina again, shaking his head. "Yeah, anyway, just touch the pin to forge the pact," he repeats with an odd sort of look on his face. A white light spreads from the pin and over the pair for an overlong moment before resolving. He breathes, energy thrumming from him in a semitransparent prismatic glow. "Ah! Now -- let's too this, huh?" Dashing forwards, skateboard in hand, Beat taps his Respect pin to activate the Shockwave psych. His skateboard is now a deadly weapon, which he uses to smash, hop and leap from the tiny PicoChus one by one to slap them back into the dirt. "I," Thwack! "Seriously," Bop! "Missed," Slam! "This!" CRUNCH!

:'''[[Sarafina Carenze]] has posed:''' "Skateboard..." Sarafina murmurs. "Fascinating..." And quite potent by appearances. It's only missing one thing, Sarafina realizes. Rockets. And she already knows a test pilot! :D :D :D :D

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Maira most certainly does not know the drill, or anything about Beat for that matter, so when he says something about a pact she gives him an appropriate confused look. Unsurprisingly, no one seems to respond to her question on if they really have to kill it because they are too busy /trying to kill it/. Except Ivo. Ivo noticed! Maira looks over toward him and shines her brightest smile, nodding. "Okay, I'll try to get the flower!" she says, then begins to walk toward the Ochu. "Hey there..." she starts to coo. "We really need that flower there you have. We'd leave you all alone if you would kindly considering making it a gift to us..." she says, soothing and nice, her voice taking on a somewhat musical quality that always seems to calm animals. Fail. "EEEEEEEEEEE!!!" Maira shrieks then as the vine/tentacles reach out and grap her, constricting and flinging her willy nilly through the air like some kind of amusement park ride. Really, if not for being in fear for her life, she might just enjoy this! Being flung around like a ragdoll is pretty distracting, but Maira manages to cast a spell anyway, via Uist. Such a useful ghost! Minerva and Sass (who got hit quite hard, it registers to Maira) receive a little bit of help via a cold, ghostly touch that seems to provide both healing and a bit of protection.

:'''[[Sassaral]] has posed:''' That done, the girl dances back a step or two and observes the chaos. The Ochu; the Picochus.... cases out the field, basically. Enough people may choose to take on the big ol' Ochu.. it is in her intention to whittle away at the smaller threats that see fit to cause a ruckus. That, and they prove to be the most immediate threat to Reize who, many days prior, saved Sassaral from harm! The girl is about to launch into further action until----huurk! Her small form is immediately ensnared by all manner of vines as they shoot forth to wrangle opponents! How could she have been so.... so oblivious?! The girl feels a couple of vines wrapping around her midsection and before she can lurch forth to escape, the pressure increases immediately and Sassaral is suddenly aware of her body bearing an incredible force. "H--hng..!" Sassaral exhales abruptly, the air forced from her lungs. To make matters worse, she feels the soles of her feet leave the earth. One sandal falls, and then the other.. but the pressure is not so intense so as to hinder Sassaral's voice (ie. Silence). Pain does many things to a werewolf.. and adrenaline fuels the girl's next attack. With a cry she thrashes backwards against the vines, her pain fuelling her efforts. White-hot light erupts within the confines of the tightly-bound vines..

:'''[[Zargabaath]] has posed:''' Thankfully Zargabaath had his sword out. The vines grab him, but good and squeeze quite hard. Despite all of this, Zargabaath still has his sword free. He uses his sword to try and hack his way out of the vines and set himself free. Chop chop

:'''[[Minerva]] has posed:''' It might not be the same beast she'd fear but it's disturbingly like the creatures she knows of. Then comes the tentacles, then comes the damn tentaclers she's not happy she's not happy at all. They start to grab Minerva pulling her off the ground, she lts out a shout as it's starting to crush her and she's attemping to break free. This might take her some time to do this. "FOUL BEAST YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS OUT RAGE!" Oh god it's so tight it's crushing her and she's trying to well get free. Maria had been of help at least with some magical protection and now some physical protection for herself She struggles to break free and when she finally does she's leaping at the beast her fists now on fire! No she's not happy at all!

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize is gagging, coughing, choking, and tears. God, that is a pain. However, through Sassaral's cry, the spell gives the young adventurer a rejuvinating spiritual energ. Reize can feel his body becoming quicker. The boy charges straight towards hte large Ochu under Ivo's instructions, "Gotcha, Ivo!" Wait, vines trying to ensnare his friends?! And Sassaral?! No one ensnares one of his love interests--errr friends and gets away with it!"Oi!" As the vines are moving towards his friends, Reize charges straight into the fray, springing up while bringing his boomerang out. "Hyaaa!" Reize lunges forward to grab towards one of its vines as they seek to seize his friends. "Hyaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!" Reize charges forward with both heels striking at the Ochu, then he springs forth to spin around with three mid-air spinning kicks at the creature's face. Meanwhile... The Picochu are assaulted by the aerial strikes from Sarafina as she lashes at them. The little critters release cry of pain as they fly about. Further complicating the matter is Beat wailing at them. As he essentially leap from one to the other, they all bat against the groun. And then Ivo gets their attention as he hacks against them. Bad move, Ivo. Beat, Sarafina, and Ivo get this from the critters: >:( And they all charge, moving like a tidal wave as they seek to bite and otherwise harm the group.

:'''[[Cirra Constantine]] has posed:''' Cirra lands her blow, but the Ochu remains standing, "Tch." just as she alights on the ground, one of the viens grabs her by the ankle and lifts her up, flipping her upside down. Damn, why does her armor have to include a miniskirt? "Hgh!" she grunts and slashes the vines that come into squeeze her, cutting them back for a moment until one gets through and socks her right in the stomach. Thats about when Cirra has enough. She swings forward hard enough that the vine has no choice but to permit her o get above it and jabs the spear point of her scythe down, forcing it to release her. The Judge then runs down the entire length of the wine, spinning the scythe in one hand to slash the offending tendril as she runs.

:'''[[Beat]] has posed:''' There are few situations where the difference between victory and defeat lies with your skills as a skater, and fewer still where you can look like an awesome badass doing it. Beat has seen such an opening now and makes every effort to take advantage of it. Literally surfing on the wave of critters surging towards the group, Beat effortlessly avoids their counterattack and flips over when he finds himself in the middle of the throng. Placing his hand on one he pushes himself high into the air and, just as he's perfectly silhouetted by the sun, begins to descend. Activating his Cosmic Pull pins, Beat spirals through the air and begins to fall just as meteorites fizzle into existence from all around Beat and rain down on their opponents. "Booyeah!"

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' With roars of agony and fury, the Blind Ochu begins to retreat slowly toward the verdant clearing behind it, shaking those it has ensnared about through the air if they cannot break free through their own power, but at last releasing them through the combined brunt of everyone's assaults. It withdraws its vines to shield itself as strikes hammer home from all directions. For a moment, it seems as though the great beast may freeze in place, and offer an opportunity to grab its flower-- "Gwwooooooaahhhh~~!" But not so much. Maddened with rage and, frankly, rather frustrated that it can't fight as it used to -- why, back in the old days, when it still had its sight, parties of nine or ten adventurers were nothing to the dashing Ochu King -- it unleashes its ultimate technique. *BRAAAAAAAP* Deep within its bowels, these noxious fumes have been churning, possibly for decades. The breath that washes through the area would be enough to cripple a normal mortal. It is a truly brutal stench. And maybe it will keep the heroes off its vegetative back for a little bit... long enough for the great monster to retaliate against its reeling foes. For Ivo's part, he's just satisfied that the Picochus seem to be ganging up on him and some of his nearby allies, allowing his teammates to focus their attacks on the big boss. That satisfaction is denting somewhat when the Picochus begin to pile in, but he slashes out with the quick-draw Raiya-sensei has been refining with him, knocking several of the monsters back, and with a flash of light detaches Hauteclare's blade from its hilt, sending the floating sword whirling up and down, attempting to harry as many of the little creatures as possible, sweat beading on his brow as much from effort as from the heat. "Damn...! Maira, Sassaral, you two alright...!?" He'd love to look cool and catch Maira as she falls again, as the retreating Ochu releases her, but now isn't really the time. ...Shucks.

:'''[[Minerva]] has posed:''' Minerva is just beating the heck out of the beast that tentacled her but it doesn't catch fire. Nothing she can do about that however she's not not quick enough to pull back even with the horrible beast coming at her. The breath the nightmarish old breath, older than Minerva herself it strieks her world becomes a terrible acid trip, her body is in agony her spirit is unbalanced and she attempts to purge her self of the infulence before she fully loses it. Also the nagging fear of creatures very much like it and what they can do to their victems...

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize is swinging over along the vines that the large creature has. Why? Well, he is about to reach over.. /_\: Rescue Teammate Reize is swinging off to grab off towards the currently squeezed Sassaral. !!! His eyes widen as he rolls over while keeping her in his arms. "Whooaaa!" They roll through the marshes and.... Sassaral has fallen on top of Reize. Awkward silence. Not good! Not good! The old age Ochu is not doing so well. This is where all of the Picochu turn to see the condition and their eyes widen. They all cry and peep. Subtitle: 'GRANDPAPA! WE WILL NOT FAIL YOU!!' Subtitle: 'WE BELIEVE IN YOU, PAPA!' Subtitle: 'TAKE DOWN THE TALL DEVILS!' In their resolve, they seek to fight back against the tall devils. As Beat brings down the meteorites, all of the creatures charge past the meteors, explosions rupturing the earth around them. It looks like a war zone as they trudge through the explosions, making their way towards their grandfather. And then.... Ivo happens. The little creatures are harried, hacked, and slashed as the detatched blade of Hauteclare tears against them. However, many manage to tear through the battlefield to get to the wounded Ochu. All of them gather together and they let their powers combine. They used the most powerful element known to man. Heart. Oh, and Curaga. Lots of deicious healing energy of curaga. That essence trinkles down along their massive grandpa.

:'''[[Sarafina Carenze]] has posed:''' A swarm of adorable mini ochus swar for Sarafina. Unperturbe, she clenches her fist and swwwiings it back and thne just ploughs through them with her fist, flying on through. This sends her flying through the ultimate horrible barf breath ever devised! It's truly, truly the worst. Sarafina slides down her visorplate, the flame burning odour around her, which probably only makes things worse. It's times like these that she thinks back to when she was a member of Baron's military, a commanding officer even. They had a slogan for situations like this. 'It's time to make some orphans!' She recalls. Come to think of it, maybe that was one of the signs that maybe sticking with Baron wasn't the greatest of ideas, but she finds the wording apt in this instance. She launches herself for poor old Grampa Ochu, using her jetpack to propel herself in the area before she attempts to, quite troublingly, cleave through tentacles, cut through planty flesh, an otherwise be quite abusive with her chainsaw on the elderly. "This is how we do it in the Baron Engineering Corps!" She shouts. She kicks the light puck back to Beat.

:'''[[Zargabaath]] has posed:''' Zargabaath is so going to need a filter in his helmet. Ugh. To say Zargabaath has a bad breath problem right now is a serious understatement. However, what the big ochu might not realize is that Zargabaath thrives on getting hit....by any attack. His sword glows white and he directs a strong slash to the larger ochu's body. This may hurt.

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Just as Maira was starting to giggle at being flung about, she is tossed from the tentacle-vine's grip high into the air. Weeee! Flying! NUUU FALLING! Indeed, Maira is pretty sure everyone is too busy to go about trying to catch her sorry ass, so it is time for a plan of her own. Aeroa! Quickly Maira casts, thanking god she had the sense to pick up an air materia. Just before she hits the ground, a burst of air comes to cradle her........ And blast her right up into the sky again, further than before. "DAAAAAAMN IIIIIIIIIT!" she screams, her voice becoming further away. Obviously, she can't answer Ivo's now incredibly stupid question. "Oh for the love of--" Uist curses, not that there were any around to hear it. He needs to do something! Maira will fall to her death! Or Ivo will rescue her again! Those are almost equally bad things! Several rounds later, Maira begins to fall once more. But there, in the air, there is....something. Like a cloud of smoke and ember a winged form appears flying upward toward Maira as she falls, grabbing onto her to slow her descent before once more dissolving. Maira, now pissed, stands up and ignites. This is not a metaphor. The girl becomes a human torch as she turns her eyes toward the big Ochu, now being cured. WELL NOW. "HEY! I ASKED NICELY! NOW I'M GONNA ASK....LESS NICE!" she yells, then leans forward and breaths a poisonous flame. HAH! Eat THAT! Then she begins an incantation and the earth beneath the Ochu and the little ones begins to shake violently.

:'''[[Cirra Constantine]] has posed:''' Cirra is getting a sense of when and how the Ochu attacks, when it pauses and rumbles, Cirra leaps sideways off the vine and into a jungle tree, leaping from branch to branch as the mass of gas goes past her. "You're flailing against the inevitable!" She shouts at the Ochu and leaps off hte branch, angling her descent right infront of hte blind monster. Cirra brings the Scythe down like a guillotine, aiming to sever vines and tendrils as she lands from hte 20 foot drop and immediatly goes into a spin, holding the scyth up to slice through the air as she fights like a mad ballarina trying to dig out the center of the monster. Slaming her foot down she coems to a sudden stop and hodsl the scythe out with both hands, and swings it as hard as she can through the creature's leg in one powerfull stroke.

:'''[[Beat]] has posed:''' Beat lands to find... nothing has happened! Awesome! He really needs to work on his aim when indiscriminately dropping meteors on people. He kicks his skateboard up and groans loudly. "Oh great," he grumbles. "If they just keep healing each other that a'int good, is it?" Charging up his psyches again, Beat aims some explosive charges over at the critters to disperse and distract them long enough to stop healing the bigger one. He throws Sarafina a thumbs up as the light puck sails his way too, since these things can only help.

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' Alas, Grampa Ochu. Though revived by its faithful Picochus, or at those of them which remain, Maira rains fire from above and causes the Blind Ochu to flinch back in pain and confusion, giving Sarafina just the opportunity she needs to dart in and tear away, severed vines falling all about it as it recoils. Huddling down, attempting to form a bulwark to protect its beloved grandchildren (?), the great and aged monster stumbles, weakened, struggling to retain its defenses. "Gwwaaahhh~!" But the magnificent combined assault of the two Judges is too much. Cirra descends with a savage cleave just as Zargabaath cuts upward with a glowing blade, and time seems to freeze briefly as the huge beast stops, paralyzed between the opposite forces of each slash, before toppling to the side with a resounding crash, shaking the trees about them, leaves falling in an earthy downpour. The Ochu being blind does not seem to prevent it from having squiggly circles for eyes. @_@ While it still appears to be alive, it is stunned and unconscious, and incapable of fighting back. Now may be the time to seize its flower, if there's going to be any chance at all -- and if the Pirochus will allow it. "Reize, or someone, get that flower, won't you?" Ivo shouts, even as he kicks one of the massing Pirochus away. "Don't forget about me, now!" he then quips at his little adversaries, Hauteclare's blade still dancing. "The sooner we get away from the big one, the sooner they'll leave us be!" Shucks, and he needs to find that red toyon, too. After all, Maira's clothes are burning off as we speak. Th-- wait, what? "Maira," Ivo then manages, shooting glances over to the lady mage, "are you... are you alright like that?" He's just concerned. That's why he keeps looking over. I mean, who knows what might happen.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' There is a cry. The poisonous flames erupt along the Picochu. While they are resistant, they are not immune. Their cries send all of themsliding back and then the roearing earth bring them down to their knees. But then... One can see the collective faces of all of the ochus turn to see their grandpa, the elder Ochu, struck by the sheer power of the Judges. In slow motion, the collective picochu squeal. Subtitle: 'Grandpa! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!' In that slow motion, the blind Ochu topples. A somber song plays, the violin gives that slow, slow tune of dispair. And it crashes... Subtitle: 'GRRRAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNDDDDDDPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!' Wait. Why are all of the Picochu glowing with that ominous energy? Reize, slowly getting up, realizes the mess that is going on. He settles Sassaral against the tree, making sure that she is alright. Then, he breaks away from the Picochu. "I better do so!" Reize is running towards the large Ochu while he picochu are busy with the others. He is leaping up into the air. "BEAT! SARAFINA! Gimmie a lift!" Reize is running towards Beat, he is going to need a lift to get a good spring towards the fallen body. Otherwise, those picochu will tear him a new one. Speaking of which... In their indignant cries, the picochu wail and they charge. They become a storm as they tear through the path to reach their grandpa's 'killers'. As the explosive charge gives off, they race through, with full determination, to charge to the judges. BOOM! Beat's explosion is avoided as the picochus roll and 'low crawl' out of the blast site. Hauteclare hacks and slashes along the smaller ochu gang. Many of tem are sliced and repelled. However, one of the brave Picochu charges towards Ivo, springing up towards him, "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWRRRRR!!!!" And the others are all charging towards the Judges, seeking to drown them in the barrage of their assault. Biting, kicking, headbutting. Especially the brave Spartan-like picochu.

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Panting, Maira watches as the old Ochu falls, unconscious but not dead. Well, that's good! That flower is ripe for the picking! . SHUT UP IVO Maira begins to scramble toward the Ochu to try to get that flower. Reize is also heading toward it, and Maira knows he has a much better chance of actually reaching it than she does. Alright, yeah, how about she just helps out the Judges who are quickly being swarmed...

:'''[[Minerva]] has posed:''' It they are there for the flower it's time to get it and flee this tentacled infested place. Minerva may have nightmares for years about this place. She has to agree with Ivo's comments. "We need to bring this to a close and depart before anymore of the beasts show up! There's still one left. She's also concerned for Maria's modestly to some degree her hand starts to glow quite brightly with holy magic? Wait what's this monk doing? She just throwe herself at the last beast and attemps to grab hold of it sending said energy violently into it's body!

:'''[[Zargabaath]] has posed:''' Zargabaath is bowled over by a few of the Picochus. However, He takes it stoically and quietly stands. However, a few of them are a bit too close for comfort....and a couple of slashes from his sword will go out to meet with them....and they will probably hurt.

:'''[[Sarafina Carenze]] has posed:''' Sarafina Carenze lands near Ivo after her assault, landing near Ivo for a moment to avoid the rocket from overheating, just a few seconds oughta do it. "Sir--" She pauses, and then notices that Ivo isn't really paying attention and is instead looking over to-- Sarafina gasps! everybody wth a proper mother has heard a gasp just like this before. "Maira!" She says, scandalized, then looks back to Ivo who is staring and-- "Ivo!" She says, her eyes narrowing. "I'm surprised in you!" And she consequentially abandons him to getting swarmed by Pikochus. Instead she is called over by Reize, whom she is also tempted to abandon but getting that flower means they can make like a tree and leaf sooner rather than later. She blasts by Reize, grabbing him by the scruff of the neck and pulling him into the air with her. She is cogent enough to not accidentally swing Reize into the flames, instead dangling him underneath the rocket as she passes by the flower, likely intending for him to catch it as they pass by rather than dropping him down on the flower so that he can be TOTALLY DESTROYED. 5rWhich wouldn't be nice of Sarafina to do. So it's really more a flyby than a drop off.

:'''[[Cirra Constantine]] has posed:''' Cirra helps bring down the Ochu with Zargabaath, knocking hte monster silly. "Target down..." She turns on the Picochus just as one slams into her face, "Nnf!" she shakes her head, sending the little creature flying, and jumps to the side evading the rest of their attack. "Your Honour!" she see Zar nearly swarmed and holds out a hand, palm upwards as she chants arcane words under her breath. Fields of force gathering around hte Judge MAgister

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' Ivo briefly pauses in his careful assessment of Maira's condition -- I mean, what if she starts getting burned? who knows, right? right -- to glance over at Sarafina as she lands next to him. Whereupon he blinks at the chainsaw-wielding winged matron, seemingly startled. "You're /surprised/ at me?" he replies, sounding equally surprised. But when she takes off, he smiles slightly. Good; it seems as though Reize and Sarafina have the flower situation handled. Now he'd better make sure these Picochus don't-- whoa, the flames are just /barely/ covering Maira now. He can almost see her-- 'RAAAAAAAAWWWRR!!!' "Hm?" Ivo turns his head just in time for the Picochu to smash broad forehead-first directly into his face, sending the young swordsman sprawling. Grunting, he throws the little creature off bodily, lurching back to his feet, slightly dazed, a little blood trickling from his nose. "...Just as anticipated," he says, to no one in particular, before kicking the spartan Picochu away, slashing out at it, and turning to see Zargabaath knocked over by a little horde of the remaining foes. "Your Honor!" he almost choruses with Cirra. Looks like the erstwhile aristocrat can take some things seriously after all, as he launches Hauteclare's blade at those little monsters which still dare pester him. That done, Ivo, holding only his hilt for now, can heave a sigh, wiping the sweat from his brow, and step forward-- only to hear a little click as Reize's abandoned water jug rolls slightly by his foot. Ivo glances down. Ivo pauses. Ivo thinks very carefully for a few moments. Whereupon his serious, thoughtful expression vanishes, abruptly and improbably (if anyone were watching to see) replaced with a look of great alarm as he seizes the water jug. "Maira!" he calls to the young woman still wreathed in flame. "Are you alright!? You're burning!" And he rushes over, unstoppering the jug-- "Here!" And douses her body with the remainder of its contents, before stopping, putting a hand on his hip, and smiling slightly with the satisfaction of a job well done. "There," he remarks. "Now you're fine." Yeah she is.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' What?! Abandon the Fearless Leader?! The one who is the good natured one? Sure, he almost got everyone killed and is likely the one responsible for all of the violence but... All unintentional! As she does blast by him, he is caught by the scruff of the neck. Underneath the rocket, the boy is reaching for the flower. One outstretched hand. Suddenly, a stray picochu jumps out of its pack. It lunges upward, trying to bite Reize's ahoge. Thankfully, they graze the boy as he grabs the flower. "WE GOT THE FLOWER! EVERYONE! PULL BACK! PULL BACK!" Zargabaath is dealing with the picochus that are coming in. As hard as he tries to slash at them, those critters are playing hop-scotch over his slashes. Many of them are dancing, making peep noises. With the monk throwing herself into the beast, the creatures quickly jump back away from the woman as she tries to grab a hold of them. And as Ivo tries slashing at them all, he will find that they have studied his maneuvers LONG enough to finally start avoiding his movements. They all crowd around until they can gather around their fallen elder. They squeal. The squeal is so loud that it resonates through the entire jungle. ...Movements are being made. In fact, large movements are being made. Many of the Ochu pack are starting to come into the vicinity of the area. They heard papa was harmed. ....Perhaps it's time for a TACTICAL RETREAT! 

:'''[[Maira]] has posed:''' Oh come on, they have had this conversation! Her skin or hair doesn't burn because it is part of her, but her clothes--Oh right. Stop trying to rationalize this. This is Ivo. He knows exactly what he is doing. Maira holds up her hands in a vain attempt to shield herself from the water that splashes her and extinguishes her modesty-flames. And thus, Maira stood in the middle of the jungle, naked, dripping, and now glaring at Ivo. Maira sort of ducks behind a bush as Uist manifests specifically to try to throttle Ivo, wrapping ghostly cold hands around the knights neck before shaking him vigorously. Tactical Retreat!? Oh, right, running! Maira runs. SIIIIIIIIIIGH.

:'''[[Zargabaath]] has posed:''' Lowering his sword as Reize yells that he has the flower, Zargabaath looks to Judge Constantine. "As annoying as these little ochus are, I don't believe wiping them out would benefit any of us." He then starts to back away. "We have what we came for." he says before he stops at the larger ochu's unconcious form. He tugs out a hi-potion and dumps it's entire contents onto it's body, then stands up and begins the long march back to the Alexander. It was actually good to stretch his legs for once.

:'''[[Cirra Constantine]] has posed:''' %Cirra nods, "Understood, Your Honor." she turns with the Magister and begins retreating, leaving the areas thats about to be overwhelmed by the Picochus.

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' "Don't look so mad," Ivo says casually as Maira dodges behind a bush, though not /quite/ quickly enough for the alleged knight to fail to enjoy this mission's true reward. "I have to save damsels in distress. It's in the job description. Besides," he adds, as he doffs his cloak and tosses it to her before she begins her Tactical Retreat, "even amidst a battle, how could I not appreciate the natural beau-- gh-- hkk--" Coughing, staggering, Ivo's eyes widen as he's physically shaken back and forth by an unseen force before he's finally released as the lady mage flees, the swordsman collapsing to his knees, eyes watering, coughing. Man, why does stuff like this /keep happening/? It's getting worse, even! It is a mystery. Upon looking up, however, Ivo finds himself conveniently right in front of a rather familiar tree -- familiar at least from the sketches he's examined and descriptions he's heard. "The red toyon," he rasps to himself, before glancing out of the corner of his eye as the Picochus begin to mass and wail. "Damn, if only there were more time..." There are so many strange forms of plant life here that he'd love to peruse. It will have to be some other day. Maybe when Reize doesn't accompany them. For now, he contents himself with summoning Hauteclare's blade and sending it shooting up to the tree, quickly severing an armful of the largest leaves and gathering them up. "Good going, Reize, Sarafina!" Ivo calls to his friends. "Now let's retreat..." Casting one last glance back at the rapidly increasing number of Picochus. "...while we still can!"

:'''[[Minerva]] has posed:''' The Wise Brave Sir Robin once said RUN AWAY! This is one of those times. There's more of them coming a whole lot more is coming. Well it's really time to get going isn't it? The Flower has been pluged the old father of these monstes is still in the breeding game. It's really time to get the hell out of here Minerva turns to start running one of teh beast sbnack one her. She's able to break free but with a very loud rip. Her shorts well yes it's a bad end for them and she keeps running not quite aware of this...

:'''[[Sarafina Carenze]] has posed:''' "Ugh." Sarafina says. "never get the smell out of the armor." Even the horrible demon eyes that never sleep are watering.%rSarafina spins the pack around and jets on outta there with Reize and the flower. She endeavours to make the ride as bumpy as possible without actually carshing into anything. No less than 3 bugs fly into Reize's mouth and/or eyes.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' The good. Everyone is fleeing. In fact, Sassaral is up and ready to flee with the group. This is a good thing for Reize. All of the traveling party members finally start leaving. And unfortunately, Reize is getting a face full of bugs in his mouth. Argh arg why?! Meanwhile... In the midst of the jungle, all of the picochu and the ochu start cheering. The triumphant song plays over the scene as all of the little picochu hop happily. The potion, used by Zargabaath, has the Elder Ochu rise again. This is a small victory for the Golmore Ochu tribe.

:'''[[Cirra Constantine]] has posed:''' Somewhere along the way, Cirra turns to look at Reize and points at him. "Strike two."

Sanel is an enigma. Any memories of his past, who he was affiliated with, or what he did are unknown. The only thing that Sanel can recall is his own first name. However, the physical scars and an ominous collar around his neck may tell of a darker story than what things appear to be. Sanel comes off as a soft spoken, innocent young boy. His child-like demeanor, along with speaking in third person, puts him off as slow at times. Sanel carries a herculean strength, capable of lifting objects that grown men have difficulty lifting. Even in battle, Sanel is rather playful, dancing away in the field while using his immense strength to grapple and uses cryomancy to easily manipulate ice. If there is one thing that Sanel desires, in spite the loss of his memories, is a purpose in life.

=== Skills ===
The (Littlest) Big Guy, Super Strong Child, Strength of Ten Men, Does Not Know His Own Strength, Affectionate, Gives the Best Hugs, Watch Your Ribs, Ignorance Is Bliss, Clumsy, Cute Bruiser, Likes To Play, Plays Rough, Amnesiac, Attention DeficiSQUIRREL!, Hymnist, Beware The Nice Ones, An Ice Person, Doesn't Do Well In Heat, Incredibly Childish, Third-Person Person, Not Bamm-Bamm Rubble, Totally Not Elmyra, Cave-maning Is An Acceptable Way Of Making Friends, Red Flag: Speaking First Person, Red Flag: Saying Your Real Name, Not As Simple As He Seems

==Abilities==
*'''Fighting Style''': Sanel relies on the use of grappling techniques and hand-to-hand fighting. Overall, he uses his immense strength to aid him in dishing out damage and has pretty good control of himself. While he is not too very nimble, he is pretty defensive.

*'''Herculean Strength''': Sanel possess an abnormal amount of physical strength that enables him to lift and carry heavy objects that even adult humans would have difficulty lifting. Rumors would have it that the boy has the strength of a giant.

*'''Cryomancy''': This is the gift of drawing upon the power to manipulate ice. Sanel possesses the natural ability to create ice in his hands and even make it disappear around him. He can shape the ice around him to any form that he wants.

*'''Arcane Eye''': It is an enhanced eyeball that allows Sanel to see the traces of magic, although there is no distinction over what kind of magic it is. When the magical presence is strong, the eye will activate, allowing Sanel to get a better visual. It is stronger than his other eye, giving him better vision. However, should the real eye close, the vision becomes distorted with the inverse color.

*'''Hand-to-Hand''': Sanel is a fighter who fights with heavy precision and with defense in mind. However, his choice of method for fighting is through the use of grappling maneuvers to put his enemies at a disadvantage.

*'''Collar of Darkness''': Usually hidden, there is a black collar around the boy's neck. At the center is a round crystal, which in actuality, is an eyeball. There is a dark, ominous presence within the collar. If one were to try to detect the magic on it, there is a high concentration of darkness around it. Even worse, it is impossible to remove from the wearer's neck. Any attempts to remove it will release a burst that will backlash against the person attempting to remove it as well as the wearer.

*'''Singing''': Although he is generally spoken, when he sings, it is hard to miss. An adept singer, he possesses a lovely voice. However, the songs he sings are in strange hymns.

*'''Singing''': Although he is generally spoken, when he sings, it is hard to miss. An adept singer, he possesses a lovely voice. However, the songs he sings are in strange hymns.

|Synopsis=Malicia wanders into Hollow Bastion in search of the Shadow Lords to further her research, however, she comes across the very person who plunged St. Canard into the darkness.
|Cast of Characters=Negaduck, Malicia
|pretty=yes
}}
:'''[[Negaduck]] has posed:''' Hollow Bastion is a strange and beautiful place that carries the vast landscape of water and ice. This land carries melancholy behind it as the massive waterfalls pour from the mountains on the courtyard and the castle itself. This passage is the den of the Heartless. Where all of them lie... So do the Shadow Lords. In particular, one of the Shadow Lords has been incognito for a long time. It is none other than Negaduck, who had been plotting behind the scenes. He has been establishing various networks of underground syndicates, bending them to his will through extortion and intimidation. The dastardly mallard is at the very center of the courtyard, rubbing his hands together. "Mwahahahhaa... It was about time that many of the syndicates finally crawled under my control. That will teach them for not meeting my demands. And now... it will be time to put them to work." 

:'''[[Malicia]] has posed:''' Malicia knew she wasn't supposed to be here. Not because anyone in particular had told her such, but because the dark, empty chill that permeated the entire area was impossible to ignore. But the demonness was lured in, drawn by the power lurking behind the walls of Hollow Bastion. She had been tracking the Heartless for some time now and had heard talk of these mysterious 'Shadow Lords'. It was said they were the ones who held the power -- some sort of key wielding ability. But talk is cheap, and gossip cheaper, still. Malicia knew the only way to find the source was to head straight to it. Whether this made her brave or utterly foolish remained to be seen. Dark laughter danced across the courtyard and caught her attention. Pausing momentarily to mull her next course of action, she settled on heading straight for the source. Foolish it was.

:'''[[Negaduck]] has posed:''' The presence of Malicia is warning the Heartless. Each step that the woman takes, she will find that the darkness is manifesting more creatures to appear. Those Shadows peep their heads out and then they spring into action. About five of those Shadows are creeping over the woman, watching her carefully. For now, they study her. Meanwhile, Negaduck is continuing to plot over what to do with his collective syndicate. Those musings were interrupted with the presence of a Shadow looking up at Negaduck. "WHAT DO YOU WANT, NUMBER FIFTY-THREE?!" The mad duck snaps, narrowing his eyes. However, as the Shadow notes to him of a presence in here, Negaduck has a grin forming. "Oho, is that so..? We have a guest here, perhaps it is time to 'greet'--" Those words are emphasized with a pair of bazookas taken out. "--our guest." A grin forms. Negaduck is off, moving to the one heading to the source. For Malicia, each step that she takes, she will finally notice that shadows have started manifesting and erupting to life. The Heartless are awakening to her presence. It is not just a simple, low number now, it is a massive number that becomes like a black cloud. 

:'''[[Malicia]] has posed:''' Malicia is stopped in her tracks by the wave of Heartless forming in front of her. She turns to see more behind her and realizes she's surrounded. One of the creatures gets a little too close for comfort, nipping around her heels. The demonness snarls and strikes it with her claws like an agitated viper. "Learn some respect, you little miscreant!" She hisses. But the creatures clearly could care less about respecting an intruder. Back turned, busy sniping at the one, single, Heartless, she fails to acknowledge the massive wall of pitch black that is rising behind her. Perhaps this wasn't the brightest idea after all.

:'''[[Negaduck]] has posed:''' As Malicia snipes at some of the smaller ones, that wall continues to expand. That massive wall itself is the everlasting presence of Darkside. The sizeable Heartless soon towers over Malicia when she starts sniping the single little Heartless sniping at her. This is the Den of the Heartless. All of those creatures begin creeping out. Many of them are of all sizes, manifesting around and stalking after the woman. At this point, Malicia is surrounded by the creaures. And in her efforts of dealing with that little miscreant... *CLI-CLANK!* She will find that the barrel of a bazooka has been locked and loaded her way. "Greetings, I'm the welcoming party." That weapon belongs to an older duck who has a very maniacal grin. His red fedora and yellow jacket covers his body while that grin. Those teeth are showing sharp and deadly intentions. "You are in Hallow Bastion, and I am your host, Negaduck." 

:'''[[Malicia]] has posed:''' Malicia flinches at the familiar sound of a weapon fully loaded. This was not the first, nor likely last time, she would experience being in the crossfire. She freezes up, careful not to make any sudden movements. Turning to face him, she looks him up and down momentarily. "I know who you are." She says coolly. "Darkwing Duck's twin." Though Malicia had yet to face Darkwing, she knew of the masked vigilante from her time in St. Canard. She had been casing the joint, so to speak. It was during her late night skirmishes in the city's seedy underbelly that she heard whispers from the thugs and gangs of a deadly doppelganger. A being so rotten and treacherous that even the largest and burliest of criminals thought twice about crossing him. "And what a fine host you are, going to all this trouble just for little 'ol me." She finally said.

:'''[[Negaduck]] has posed:''' Oho, Negaduck is so happy to see a new face. It is perfect for him to blast, maim, flay, destroy, atomize. And THEN detain. Alas, the detaining part. Negaduck blinks as the stranger is aware of his infamy. "Oho! Is that so?" Negaduck smiles maniacally. However, the choice of words that Malicia had chosen had not been a good choice for her. 'Darkwing Duck's twin.' His grin fades. The white in his eyes slowly turn red from the bottom of the eyes on up, like a lava flow rising to the surface. *STEAM WHISTLE SOUND EFFECT* Negaduck immediately fires a rocket from the bazooka, the impact of the munition striking the ground creates a large explosion, a black hole near Malicia's feet. "Oho! I do anything to appease the adoring fans. However, I must warn you to watch what you say. The next one may be without sand in my eyes." 

:'''[[Malicia]] has posed:''' "That was a poor choice of wording, wasn't it?" Despite nearly becoming a smudge on the ground, she remains rather composed. Inside, the alarms were blaring and telling her to RUN LIKE HADES. But on the exterior she merely folded her arms, her pointy tail swishing back and forth quite calmly. "My apologies, I meant no insult. If it's any consolation, I think red and yellow is /far/ more fashionable." Because when in doubt, appeal to the ego. "But where are my manners? My name is Malicia. I have come here in search of the Shadow Lords."

:'''[[Negaduck]] has posed:''' There is a narrowed gaze at Malicia as she manages to jump back at her word. Negaduck's anger is pretty high. Where he was vaguely amused, he is downright angry at the moment. However, he is easy to appease. Feed his ego. It does wonders to remain in his favor. Negaduck's wrath is quelled. The bazooka is lowered, then he lifts an eyebrow, "You are either brave or very stupid for tresspassing into the den of the Heartless. Many people who enter here have death wishes to enter here unless they are a Shadow Lord." Searching for the Shadow Lords? A manical grin forms, "Well, you are in luck!" He brings his hands to his chest, thumbs pointing at him. "I am a Shadow Lord! I am the one that brought St. Canard into darkness! I am the one that ruined Darkwing Duck!" As Malicia and Negaduck continue their conversation, more of the darkness creep around as the Heartless begin flooding the area. Their eyes light up, staring at her.

:'''[[Malicia]] has posed:''' "You mean the Heartless came to our world because of you?" She seemed impressed by this news. "But /how/ did you take control of them?" She advanced a bit closer, careful not to keep her guard down. This was one trigger-happy duck. One wrong move and she'd be tasting lead and gunpowder. "I have come here to offer my services to the Shadow Lords. I want to assist you in your cause." This was only half the truth. In full, Malicia wanted access to the Heartless; to find out more about this dark energy. It seemed the demonness didn't learn her lesson the first time around when she was expelled from her magical academy for playing with Dark Magic. But she was a creature of sin and so it was in her nature to be drawn to the darkness. "Tell me more about how you ruined Darkwing."

:'''[[Negaduck]] has posed:''' "I /fought/ the Heartless!" Negaduck's eyes harden at Malicia, "I overcame them. I became better than ever before!" He brings both arms up high, feeling the darkness flow in his hands. He can feel that blackness swirl within his grasp. "It tried to take control of me. It tried to take my heart. I fought it. I won. I overcame them!" He comes out of that tirade to look her over, listening to her. "So, services for the Shadow Lords, hrm?" Then, Negaduck muses before he gives a shrug, "Well. If that's the case. Sure, we could use more people." Negaduck gives a thoughtful look. "You will be under my..." He leans forward with a grin. "Humble care." Sharp teeth grin. As for the path of Darkwing's ruin, "I took his family and his friends and plunged them into the darkness with St. Canard. I left him to rot in that tiny town, Traverse!" 

:'''[[Malicia]] has posed:''' That grin. A shiver runs straight up her spine and the feathers on the back of her neck are prickling. "How gracious of you." She replies in a velvety tone. "I've a feeling we'll make an efficient team. We share the same world, after all..." Naturally, Malicia has no idea about the Negaverse. "So Darkwing is lurking somewhere among these worlds, then? How interesting..." She taps her bill thoughtfully. That's when she notices the Heartless at her feet. They aren't attacking anymore, presumably because their master is holding them back. Slowly, she leans forward to give the nearest one an affectionate scratch on the cheek as though it were a dog.

:'''[[Negaduck]] has posed:''' "Darkwing Duck finally showed that he had backbone when I tried defaming him." Negaduck fails to mention the fact that Darkwing Duck gave him a good name. Shudder. Negaduck definitely does not want to think about that. Not at all. While Malicia handles the Heartless, the creatures do show more a more amiable nature towards her. They do not attack her, nor do they seek their heart. Negaduck lifts his hands into the air and he tightens it into a fist. A glance is given to the 'guest'. "Now, come with me, I shall take you into the depths of Hollow Bastion." 

:'''[[Malicia]] has posed:''' "Yes, I would love a tour of the castle." She gives the Heartless one last pat and follows behind Negaduck. Hopefully, this wasn't a trap. She knew the risk she was taking, moving further into territory where she would likely never escape, should Negaduck turn his wrath on her. But success and power only came to those who dared play on the dangerous side. Trailing behind him, her eyes scan the surroundings.

=== Profile ===
Sanel is an enigma. Any memories of his past, who he was affiliated with, or what he did are unknown. The only thing that Sanel can recall is his own first name. However, the physical scars and an ominous collar around his neck may tell of a darker story than what things appear to be. Sanel comes off as a soft spoken, innocent young boy. His child-like demeanor, along with speaking in third person, puts him off as slow at times. Sanel carries a giant-like strength, capable of lifting objects that someone his size should not be able to lift. As a fighter, he prefers getting in close range to grapple his enemy. Through cryomancy, Sanel carries a natural affinity to ice. If there is one thing that Sanel desires, in spite the loss of his memories, is a purpose in life.

=== Skills ===
The (Littlest) Big Guy, Super Strong Child, Strength of Ten Men, Does Not Know His Own Strength, Affectionate, Gives the Best Hugs, Watch Your Ribs, Ignorance Is Bliss, Clumsy, Cute Bruiser, Likes To Play, Plays Rough, Amnesiac, Attention DeficiSQUIRREL!, Hymnist, Beware The Nice Ones, An Ice Person, Doesn't Do Well In Heat, Incredibly Childish, Third-Person Person, Not Bamm-Bamm Rubble

==Abilities==
*'''Fighting Style''': Sanel relies on the use of grappling techniques and hand-to-hand fighting. Overall, he uses his immense strength to aid him in dishing out damage and has pretty good control of himself. While he is not too very nimble, he is pretty defensive.

*'''Herculean Strength''': Sanel possess an abnormal amount of physical strength that enables him to lift and carry heavy objects that even adult humans would have difficulty lifting. Rumors would have it that the boy has the strength of a giant.

*'''Cryomancy''': This is the gift of drawing upon the power to manipulate ice. Sanel possesses the natural ability to create ice in his hands and even make it disappear around him. He can shape the ice around him to any form that he wants.

*'''Arcane Eye''': It is an enhanced eyeball that allows Sanel to see the traces of magic, although there is no distinction over what kind of magic it is. When the magical presence is strong, the eye will activate, allowing Sanel to get a better visual. It is stronger than his other eye, giving him better vision. However, should the real eye close, the vision becomes distorted with the inverse color.

*'''Hand-to-Hand''': Sanel is a fighter who fights with heavy precision and with defense in mind. However, his choice of method for fighting is through the use of grappling maneuvers to put his enemies at a disadvantage.

*'''Collar of Darkness''': Usually hidden, there is a black collar around the boy's neck. At the center is a round crystal, which in actuality, is an eyeball. There is a dark, ominous presence within the collar. If one were to try to detect the magic on it, there is a high concentration of darkness around it. Even worse, it is impossible to remove from the wearer's neck. Any attempts to remove it will release a burst that will backlash against the person attempting to remove it as well as the wearer.

*'''Singing''': Although he is generally spoken, when he sings, it is hard to miss. An adept singer, he possesses a lovely voice. However, the songs he sings are in strange hymns.

}}
:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Welcome to Fluorgis, the city of wonders. It is a great place that is filled with life and wonder. The place is fille with life, being the central hub for adventurers to gather and take up quests. It is also the place that is being visited upon and stationed by the Church. The simplistic nature and appears is what makes the multi-level city attractive. While the streams and rivers run through the town, a young boy is walking along the river. His boots to the side, Sanel is happily playng with the water. Splash! Splash! The boy giggles happily, his attention pre-occupied on making large splashes along the water. A few kids have joined the older boy in the fun. 

:'''[[Faruja Senra]] has posed:''' Thank the Lord for excuses to wear ceremonial dress. Faruja Senra is doing just that, having shed his armor for the much lighter cassock of his calling. Not on active guard or other such martial duty, the Templar is free to roam about; though it took a bit of prodding from Father Barnabus to stop going over the security details. Having the whole mess dropped onto his lap when his immediate superior caught a local disease was sudden, and certainly brought out a bit of perfectionism within the rat; having the very thing he almost died to get his hands on stolen by his own actions would just be embarrassing. Walking in the opposite direction downstream, the rat comes across a group of children. Having always liked rivers, reminding him of rains and the many acqueducts of his homeland, he'd decided to take a walk. Spying one familiar boy amongst the small gaggle of kids has him /grinning/. Sitting along the bank of the river, far enough away to not get splashed, he sets out his belongings from a pack. They turn out to be a couple of sandwiches, a glass of wine, and a towel. Stretching out, he fills himself a glass of wine while watching the kids. Ahh, to see others at peace is a joy!

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Splash! Splash! "Hey! I'll get you!" Sanel, the amiable boy, is giggling while splashing the other children. It is a moment of happiness for the boy. Other children are playing with him. That makes the boy very happy. The vividness of the air and the spirit of the children. It's a nice feeling that will last forever---- --Until Sanel sees the mouse. Already, Sanel is emerging fro the water to run towards the large rodent. "Snow Mouse King!" Arms are wide. ...Hug! Tight hug. 

:'''[[Faruja Senra]] has posed:''' Sip. Faruja sits with as much poise and grace as anyone can get while having a picnic, sipping wine and generally being in much improved spirits after the little debacle involving a Pete, a Maira, and far too many Heretics and friends in one room. Tail flicking, he very nearly dozens off in the warm sun before a voice and the sight of a pair of arms have him wide awake. Put down the glass. Suck in chest slightly. Thank Faram that the strange Inquisitor healed you. Sanel hugs go! Squeeeze! The Templar vaguely looks like a squeaky toy being squeezed, complete with squeaking sounds. They are, in fact, ones of mild pain mixed with pleasure at the boy's enthusiasm. Really, Sanel doesn't know his own strength. "G...good evening Sanel, my friend! As exhuberant as always! And m...kindly, my friend, a touch lighter. My ribs have only just healed after last night...and my 'tis it a wonderful sight to know that friends have found thee!" Seeing the boy act like a boy is heartening. Faruja gives Sanel a good rub on the head like a proper would-be indulgent uncle. "Beautiful day, hmm? And 'tis not Lucavishly hot at that. A touch of rain, and 'twould be /comfortable/!"

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' As Sanel embraces Faruja, the boy shuts his eyes and beams. It is then that he is given a pat on the head, overhearing the rodent's request for him to lighten his hold. "Nnn!" Sanel loosens his hold on Faruja. "Sanel is happy!" The boy walks around, giving a glance towards the side. "Sanel is playing with other kids. Other kids are playing with Sanel." The young man tilts his head around, "Sanel is looking for Almmy, but got too hot, so Sanel came here to cool off." He pauses for a moment, "Sanel has a question for Snow Mouse King." 

:'''[[Faruja Senra]] has posed:''' Ahh, delicious oxygen. Amazing how one misses it after being squished by a heculean boy! After a few breaths, the rat sits down once more, patting the towel. "Come, come my friend. Sit, please. Hungry?" A sandwich is offered; chocobo on rye. The mention of Sanel's happiness gets a nod, and a shake of the head. "'Tis the time to enjoy such things, Sanel, while you are yet young. Cherish the me..." Pause. "Cherish these days." Best not to bring up bad subjects. "Mmm, concerned for her? 'Tis the Lady in Fluorgis?" Comes the rat, praying it to be so. Any chance to get closer to the woman, and most importantly her work, would be most useful. A question? The rat's ears perk, sipping his wine before offering a patient smile. "Anything, please, ask. My ears are at thy service." One long ear waggles at the boy.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Once Faruja recovers his breath, the boy looks at the posture of the burmecian straighten. As Faruja takes a seat on he blanket, Sanel moves over towards the fatherly figure wth the sandwich. "Ah...!" Taking a seat nearby the templar, Sanel takes the sandwich with both hands and happily eats. Despite of his strength, he's holding it with both hands, happily nibbling on the chocobo on rye. Cherish these days? Sanel tilts his head over with confusion. The boy has little clue over the rodent's statement. Nevertheless, the subject regarding Alma brings the boy into focus. "Sanel does not think so. Almmy is at Archades. Sanel visit Almmy there." Seeing the ear waggle, Sanel reaches a hand out to grab it, but restrains himself. Back to the question. The boy had wondered this for a long time now. It had been in his mind since that day. He recalls his encounter with Alma, and the talk that he had with her. ~ "What you just did.. it's meant for someone really special in your life. Some girl you like so much that you think you might be in love with them...when you're, older." ~ "...What is 'love'?" 

:'''[[Faruja Senra]] has posed:''' Faruja frowns, a long grimace at the mere mention of Archades. This, of course, means he's likely going to have to go there. Requiring him to deal with the racism and general haughty attitude the place brings with it. At least with the amount of bars in the city, he can be too drunk to care for a majority of his time there. "Mmm, is she now? Safe enough for her." It /is/ a safe city, for the most part, if you're human. Love. Oh my. Faruja looks briefly stunned at the question, before the nervous white mage pops into his head. Quickly, gathering his thoughts, he hides his smile beneath the white of his wine. Swallowing, he dabs at his muzzle with a napkin to buy a few more polite seconds. "Love. My, my, my. 'Tis naught the question 'twould have come to mind...for a few years, at any rate. Regardless..." Waving a hand vaguely, he finally grasps a track to explain. The boy wouldn't remember his parents, and the rat doesn't know how far his memory even extends. "'Tis a complicated question, and frankly my friend, there are as many answers as there are individuals upon earthly soil. 'Tis only my own belief, but, love is when one is able to give all that they are to another person without thought of reward or good to themselves. An earnest desire to be beside, support, and cherish a person no matter the personal cost of such a thing."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' He is curious now. His eyes lift up, tilting his head to the side. The young boy rubs the shoulder, the young man furrows his eyebrows. His eyes remain wide and attentive of Faruja when he starts to let his mind wander. But finally, Faruja starts to explain, as little as he can. It is funny, in a way. The boy listens carefully, but is left een more confused. "..." "...Sanel is still confused." 

:'''[[Faruja Senra]] has posed:''' Faruja rubs the burnt side of his temples, his explaination going right over the poor boy's head. So much as he likes them, this is why he's not destined to be a teacher. A thoughtful look on the Burmecian's face turns a sly grin. Sanel has always been a rather physical sort, as many boys so often are. Time to turn to the hypothetical. "Then, let us deal in the hypothetical...ahh, that is to say, what-if's. Were I, for whatever reason, to harm Lady Hyral, what would be thy reaction, Sanel?" Tail-flick. Wine sip. The Templar watches the boy curiously.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' The boy looks at Faruja with a confused look on his face. It's as if he is trying to figure out the meaning of the burmecian's words and his expression. Sanel feels like, in the end, he should understand the meaning behind those words, but he can't. Be beside, support, and cherish a person no matter what. ...It seems alien. The boy is grasping, but the meaning fades from his grasp. So, it looks like that Faruja offers Sanel a more theoretical question. If Snow Mouse King was to harm his Ammy? Sanel's eyebrows knit into furrowed brows before he reaches a hand out; a palm opens to reveal his hand. "Sanel would smash Snow Mouse King---" As those words come out, imagine a statement bubble with an image of a mouse in the palm of a boy's hand. The mouse squeaks out in shock, annotated by the dashes. Fists tighten. Insert the bubble showing a hand smash and mouse is x_x. "Like a grape."

:'''[[Faruja Senra]] has posed:''' Faruja leans in as his less easily grasped explaination falls flat. A red eye is mere inches away from that palm. In his mind, there is a tiny little mouse within that hand. Close goes the hand. The rat tumbles back, treated to the mental image of a mini-Faru popping like a tiny fruit. Both ears fold back, claws scratching up the dirt. Slowly, the Templar manages a smile. He looks pleased, if a bit horrified. "Q...quite, exactly. /That/, my friend, is love. The desire to protect someone no matter against whom, and at any cost. There is more to it of course...but frankly, Sanel, 'tis oft best learned in the doing. There is someone you love, Sanel?" Comes the rat directly this time.

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' "...Sanel likes Almmy." The boy's eyes furrow thoughtfully as he states her name. "...Sanel does not know why. Sanel wants to make her happy. Almmy is stronger than she gives herself credit for. Sanel will stay by her side." The head lifts up, offering a beaming smile. "Almmy feels familiar. Sanel doesn't know why." At this point, one can see the color in the visible eye fade. As his gaze lowers towards the ground, the boy comments. "Sanel does not know why. Sanel doesn't remember anything. But." He furrows the eyebrow. "Sanel feels like he lost something. Or someone. It is familiar, but Sanel does not know what. Sanel remembers a song that is familiar with that." After a moment of a pause, the boy lifts his eye up to focus at Faruja. "Sanel does not want that feeling again." 

:'''[[Faruja Senra]] has posed:''' Just as he thought. Faruja sits up now, giving a light chuckle. "These things, Sanel, are oft a mystery. Why does a Templar love a..." The rat hunts for a word. "/Pagan/? The heart is fickle, inconvenient, and strange. Yet, 'tis a gift from Faram. Follow it, Sanel, and you shan't be led astray in this. She is a good young woman. I think you both would be an excellent pair." A fuzzy brow rises. "...Familiar, you say?" Memories. A shiver runs down the rat's spine. He can feel ice creeping up his arm, screams in his ears... "Sanel. Some things are best left undiscovered." He'd done his own digging, and hasn't liked what he'd found about the gravestone Sanel had been singing over. Reaching out, he'd grip the young boy's hand. "Promise me that all thoughts of songs and graves and memory shall be banished. 'Tis a gift, this. Make memories anew, Sanel. Please."

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' Those memories. On one hand, Sanel wanted to get away from those memories. However, there was something that lingered that wanted to know or figure out his current state. That part of him experienced those flowing rush of memories that he repressed. Yet, something lingered. The song he sang. The scars. Sanel does not know what. A hand reaches out at him, which snaps him out of his introspective state. The boy lifts his head to gaze at the mouse. "Nnn. Sanel promises. Sanel... wants new memories." The boy beams, "So, Sanel will make them with Almmy and his new friends." 

:'''[[Faruja Senra]] has posed:''' Faruja smiles, standing, moving to ruffle the boy's hair. "Good. Come then. Let us make some memories, hmm?" Tossing off his robes, the rat gets down to a pair of pants. He motions to the river. "Last one into the river buys ice cream!" The Templar bolds, tail flicking, egging the boy on to follow!

:'''[[Sanel]] has posed:''' When the hand moves to ruffle the boy's hair, Sanel leans against the touch, his arm wrapping around Faruja to give him a LIGHT squeeze. He loves the affectionate touches that people give him. Of course, he recalls having to control his own form of affections. When Faruja finally disrobes and only has his pants, the boy looks ahead to the river. His eyes focus on the gleaming water, then he hears Faruja's wager. A brighten smile forms. "Okay!" Sanel follows Faruja out towards the river, trying to get ahead of him. For memories starting anew, this is a great start.

}}

=== Profile ===
Growing up in the simple hunting village, Reize was raised upon stories of exploration, adventure, and heroics by his father, once an well-known explorer and adventurer. His boldness and desire to prove himself led him to become a skilled hunter and develop an unconventional twin boomerang and self-taught martial arts style. Enthusiastic and compassionate, Reize makes friends easily, and he is idealistically committed to his own imagined 'Knight's Vows,' despite their ambiguity. Though his bumbling and lack of navigational abilities tend to cause him to show up at the wrong place at the wrong time, he is nevertheless eminently adaptable, and now on the path to becoming an explorer. Having learned that his vanished mother's paintings are similar to the worlds that he saw in a strange plane, he now seeks out the clues with the hand-painted cards she left behind, hoping to discover her fate.

===Pendant: The Star's Promise===
A shooting star symbolizes a fleeting moment in one's life. It is filled with the wonder of mankind and is sometimes regarded as the symbol of reaching one's ultimate destiny or even a chance of a better life. As such, people often make wishes upon that fleeting star.

In a way, it takes those those dreams, hopes, and wishes and carries them passes through the sky. During the course of its journey, it breaks apart as it falls towards the earth along with the wishes of mankind. The shards often land within the earth, mostly within the magical essence. However, because the shards have broken apart, it does not hold the charge that it once did as a full shooting star. Yet, it does retain quite a bit of power. While not able to grant wishes in its current form, it does hold a gift for those who possess it. The shards react strongly to those who have a high sense of imagination and wonder, and faith in the former two. Often, it is normally children because they often carry those important traits. After all, if they believe it is real, then they are rewarded with the sight.

"Open your mind, open your heart, and the truth shall be revealed to you."

The Gifts that the shard presents:
*'''Ether Eyes''': One of the gifts that is presented is the ability to see the flow of magic in the air. They can see the aura that manifests from those who channel it as well as the traces of magic left in the air. This will allow them to have the aptitude to judge and evaluate the magical forces as well.
*'''Limited Access Magic''': The shard carries a limited amount of magical power that the user can use daily. Though the pendant, the user can manifest its power. When gathering the magical essence, the user's particular focus will manifest. The strength of the magic's power is relative to the user's sense of imagination and wonder.
*'''Magical Resistance''': Because their mind is opened for the truth and is able to see magic, this provides a small amount of protection from the effects of the supernatural.
*'''Sensitivity to the Strongest Wish''': The pendant will react when the person, deep inside, begin thinking about their strongest wish. It will begin glowing. If more than one begin thinking about their strongest wish, it will glow brighter.
*'''Bond - Wishes of Mankind''': A shard has the potential of growing stronger with the user based on the lives s/he affects in a positive sense. As the user makes the wishes come true, there is a bit of belief placed onto the user. This bond allows the shard to grow in strength to even one day regain the strength of a full shooting star.

*'''Disadvantage: Attracts the Heartless''': The light attracts the darkness. The gem itself represents the purity of the light. This itself attracts the Heartless towards it.
*'''Disadvantage: Cannot Interfere with the Strongest Wish''': If the use of its power is in conflict with the person's strongest wish, the pendant will reject the manifestation of the power.

===Painting Cards===
The tarot deck is another oddity of the items that Reize has. In particular, the tarot deck contains paintings of various worlds, many of them are worlds that had been swallowed into the darkness by the Heartless. The origins or the tale of the deck is a mystery, other than the painter is an enigma herself.

==Abilities==

*'''Battle Prowess''': Analyzing Reize's full combat capability, Reize's strongest points is his exceptional agility. He has great dexterity and coordination to handle himself against attacks coming his way as well as speed to gain advantage over the enemy by putting pressure on them. However, his strength and endurance are a bit average at bests. He is not able to take damage as well as the average warrior nor is he able to dish out the damage. There is great raw power in him in terms of magic, no matter how unhoned it is.

*'''Battle Style''': Reize fights with a pair of boomerangs that are as large as daggers. Ambidextrous, he can use them for both throwing and melee. Primarily, Reize fights melee with the boomerangs, using them like one would a pair of swords. This is complemented by the self-taught martial arts style, utilizing his kicks to take down any opposition.

*'''Hunting''': Reize is an adept hunter, able to handle himself within the forest regions more, given that he had more experience. He uses only his boomerang to catch food. This also extends out to fishing.

*'''Cooking''': At most, Reize can only handle field cooking. His food may be a bit bland or have little seasoning, but it's hardy enough to ensure that people can survive. At worst, it's just filling.

*'''Survivability''': Reize can adapt to any surroundings that he is in. No matter how harsh the atmosphere is whether it is the forest or even the desert, Reize can adapt to the environment to ensure survivability.

*'''Jack of All Trades''': Reize has the ability to adapt to the situation that arises upon subjects that do not require intensive learning. Even if he is not initially good at it, he can quickly get the hang of the subject and will have some knowledge or usefulness of it.

*'''Storytelling''': In a way, Reize is has a bit of a bardic ability of handling storytelling. This comes in both writing and oral. He is exceptional with keeping people interested in the story, leaving them wondering what else happens in the story.

*'''Tools for the Situations''': As an explorer, Reize is used to carrying many things with him in his back pack and pouch. It can be simple stuff as an apple or perhaps a grappling hook. It always helps to be prepared.

*'''Wrong Place, Wrong Time''': Reize has the knack of appearing at the wrong place at the wrong time. Things could be happening that is not related to it, yet he sometimes tend to be caught in the middle of it.

*'''Magic''': The source of Reize's ability to use magic is through Luan's pendant, which is shard from a shooting star. It allows Reize to manifest magic. While channeling for the spells, it'll take the form of a glowing tarot in Reize's hand. The element will manifest with the depiction of one of the creatures from the painting. Upon the draw of the 'card', it'll release the manifestation of the spell.

*'''Disadvantage: Requires Magical Item''': Reize is incapable of using magic on his own. For that very reason, in order to use magic, Reize has to have a magical item equipped.

*'''Magical Aptitude:''' Somehow, Reize has the ability to pick up most magical devices and simply use them with no knowledge of what they are or what they do. There are a lot of drawbacks to it, but Reize is sometimes lucky with them. (''Note: This mostly means that magic items will likely respond to him better despite his lack of knowledge about them'').

== Trivia ==
* Reize has the amazing ability to get lost at times. He may intend to go to one place, but will somehow end up in another location.
* His ahoge is ...very expressive, to say the least. It's as expressive as Reize tends to be.
* Unfortunately, Reize's inventory is very unorganized, so it's difficult to get what item he wants to get out at times, especially during battles.
* As opposed to "Hey!" Reize tends to use "Oi" and "Mada Mada" to him is essentially something he'll mutter in exasperation. If asked for meaning, to him, it means "Whatever" or "alright, alright".

}}
:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' "Well, they seem satisfied..." Ivo regards one of Fruit Village's hooded denizens with a lopsided grin, leaning casually against a stout carrot as tall as him. "...I think." The Apathetics have crowded around the jar of Crystal Nectar set before them, a rare sweetener distilled from blossoms within the nearby Macalania Forest whose petals open only under a full moon. The village had run dangerously low, and the next full moon was not to be in two weeks; without their supply of additional sugar, the depressives who dwell amongst the grapes and berries were sure to plunge into utter despair. Reize and friends had to fight their way into the heart of the woods and devise a way to trick the flowers into opening by a complicated means of refracting the moonlight, which totally didn't work. But it turned out that the giant monster they disturbed had such big moon-like eyes that the luminescence glinting off them did the trick. Cue about an hour of running around luring the monster into looking at the rare flowers scattered amongst the trees. So it goes. "I can't identify the uses of this at a glance," the knight-errant says, tossing a small squishy object toward Reize, glimmering the hue of healthy ripe berries, "but it's their treasure, so maybe it's got some use. A 'Gummi', I think one of them said? They don't exactly enunciate well. But apparently it's inedible." Ivo crosses his arms, his surroundings bemusedly. "Unlike everything else here." After a moment, he sighs. "...not exactly the fruits I was hoping to see." He does seem to have been glancing around with a less curious and more hopeful tinge than usual. Did he meet someone in the forest on his way here?

:'''[[Nagetta]] has posed:''' A village made of fruit? It's surprisingly managed to stay intact even with the hungry lamia around. Hopefully she wouldn't attract too much attention. Of course Nagetta's confused to why the people are so depressed. Maybe they were tired of eating fruit all the time? She can imagines it would get kind of old after a while. She's kind of tempted to stay here but she'll never find her father by doing that. "What's going on?" She got here kind of late it looks like.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "What kind of fruits did you expect?" This is coming from Reize, who had been eyeing the gummi for some time. The boy had been poking at the gelatin substance. For the most part, Reize is still recovering from the ordeal of the adventure, having to act as the lure to get the monster with the moon-like eyes to actually FOLLOW him and look at the flowers without mauling him. ...It was a success, except for the mauling part. The mauling part. The mauling part sucked. Nevertheless, Reize is reaching for the squishy object. "I'll be the judge of that." He brings the squishy object towards his mouth, and then... *CHOMP!* ... ... "Pluh!" The boy spits and sputters. He lowers his head in comical tears, "...Not edible." Then, he looks over towards the group of men around. "Well, at least the people in this village are not in total despair." Over from afar, "OH MY GOD! My life is in ruins! ...First, it's Rhinotaur Ravager, then it's getting beaten up by every single monster like their punching bag! And then everyone beats me up! Now, I am stuck eating this fruit-- with this fruit right here! My life cannot suck any worse!" On nom. Sweatdrop from Reize. "...Okay, almost not in total despair." 

:'''[[Royce]] has posed:''' Among the countless hooded residents that line the streets and hanging walkways of the Fruit Village a lone figure can be seen wandering. Like the others her face is hidden from view by a deep cowl that casts her features into dark shadow - but that is where the similarities end. Where the multitude of faceless Apathetics are draped from head to toe in drab brown robes, Royce's ample curves are clear to see beneath her revealing attire. She pays no mind to the moans and lamentations that rise up around her in passing, the melancholic cries of those who have already lost the last vestiges of their hope washing over her with little more effect than a passing breeze. Beneath the shadows of her hood the young woman's face is a mask of utter neutrality. She does not seem annoyed by the ceaseless din of bemoaned fates nor is there any hint of sympathy to be found. Her own emotions were burned away long ago, there is nothing left for her to feel. No hope. No despair. Just emptiness. The witch arrived some time ago, long before these errant knights returned with their task completed. Her own purposes for being here are a mystery. She stalks through the expansive stretch of fruit-filled garden. Everything here is made of edible materials it seems. The tree-like carrots, the leafy cabbage shrubs, even the ground upon which they walk seems to be some sort of melon or berry. Occasionally, she stops to take samples. They are not eaten, however, but tucked neatly into small glass vials as any other specimen might be treated. Perhaps it is wise not to eat the fruit here. It could be the reason for the dour demeanor of those living here which is so completely at odds with the colorful and whimsical terrain.

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Fruits again? Didn't this topic come up at some time before now or is it just Violet's imagination? The pale blonde girl frowns softly to herself with apparent confusion as her crystal blue eyes glance between Reize and Ivo. Was this another guy thing? It didn't seem like it. As Reize actually chomps down on the squishy object that was tossed at him (his taste buds in horror), her attention is pulled towards the voice from afar. A hand instinctively resting on the hilt of the blade at her side. After a pause she exhales a small breath, "So, what do we do with the treasure now. Return it to the village?"

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' "The fruits of victory." Rather than elaborate, Ivo watches poker-faced as Reize declares his intentions and then proceeds to bite into the Gummi, with predictable results. Whereupon even Ivo's vaunted composure cannot endure, and he sputters into his glove, shoulders heaving with choked-back laughter. "Reize, I'm going to call it right now," he says between gasps. "Any time you say 'I'll be the judge of that,' something bad is going to happen." Although, to be fair, Ivo, when Reize is involved, regardless of the circumstances, there are pretty good odds on 'something bad' happening. "Well, you can't save them all," the Shard Seeker swordsman says as he recovers, attempting to reassure his younger friend. "Look, some of them seem to have been cheered up a little." From close to where the first wailing voice came from, "Amongst the fruit, I feel so at peace. It's as though I belong here... as though I am one with the fruit..." More bemusement from Ivo. "I... think that's cheer, anyway." He turns with a smile as Nagetta slithers up. "Oh, you heard the call, huh, Nagetta? Thanks for showing up, but we managed to take care of it. Feel free to enjoy the fruit, though." So saying, he plucks a ripe tomato within arm's reach. "I'm not sure they'd notice even if you knocked down a building." He pauses. "...Still, just in case, don't knock down any buildings." "Well, I /think/ they gave it to us," he replies to Violet, turning to their ally. It /is/ hard to tell exactly what these weird characters want. "If we don't need it, we can give it back. I'm curious about the nature of the material, though. It seems to have strange adhesive qualities. Maybe-- oho!" His gaze pulled off to the distance, Ivo's eyes brighten and his amiable smile broadens into a livelier grin, lifting a hand still holding a tomato in salute. "Alicia! Over here!" He beckons to the voluptuous woman in black, looking quite pleased. Some intuitive part of him, not manifesting in his expression, reacts with a chill to the glimpse he gets of Royce's almost inhuman expression of neutrality, but in his delight he brushes it aside. "I see you've joined your brethren in sweetness." Ugh, he's insufferable.

:'''[[Nagetta]] has posed:''' "Oh, sorry I wasn't able to help..." Nagetta feels a bit bad about that now. Still, she's not going to pass up free food. She'll try not to knock over any buildings though. She doesn't want to hurt any innocent people. "They still sounds kind of down though. And so does Reize." Her sharp hearing can't help but to pick that up. At least the people didn't here don't seem bothered by her presence. "Maybe there's something else we need to do?"

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' A glare is shot at Ivo in response to his comment about the boy's judgment capabilities. Reize grumbles as he eyes the gummi before him. he debate trying to take another bite, but he already knows that it won't be successful. Still, determination and stubbornness is pressing him to try. After a few more bites with no success, Reize hangs his head low. "...I'm hungry now." He looks at Violet, "I suppose we should see what this thing is used for. Maybe we can find some sort of clue about this. It's not edible, I can tell you that!" At the other voice, however, Reize blinks, "...That's cheer!" The young boy turns to see the presence of another woman, then he looks over towards Nagetta, "Ooii! Yeah, it looks like you missed out on things." Reize considers Nagetta's words, then he shrugs, "Beats me. For now, we probably will head back to base and look into this gummi that we found." 

:'''[[Royce]] has posed:''' As is always the case, Royce's senses are keyed up to high alert. No matter that this world may not be the one in which she has spent over five hundred years in constant battle for her survival and supremacy among those who still know of the existence of magic, danger can lurk around every corner. She may be ageless but the voice in her head is keen to remind her that she is not immortal. Upon hearing her name called, or rather, that of one of her many aliases, 'Alicia' slowly swivels her head sideways with almost mechanical precision to regard the source of the interruption to her work. And it just turns out to be that guy she met in the forest. The witch is not capable of feeling annoyed but her eyelids drop slightly in a faint display of irritation. Fortunately, the upper half of her face is still cloaked in shadows so it goes unnoticed. The woman quickly puts her utensils back into the small satchel at her side and reaches up to free her head from the confines of the loose hood. A sight not unlike that which Ivo witnessed upon their first meeting is presented as her silver hair flows elegantly down around her shoulders and back but it lacks the magical glamour that she was able to wield in the moon-lit forest. "And I see you've not yet learned I'm immune to your silver tongue, fufufu."

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Glancing back at Reize as he shoots Ivo a glare before bitting into the Gummi again, Violet blinks her pale eyes lightly with some surprise before she lifts her free hand, trying to cover a smile behind her fingers. It was funny. And after a moment of holding in a chuckle she manages to press her lips together to keep it in, her attention pulling away to other matters as more people arrive. And a witch? She's only heard of witches in fairy tales.

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' "Men are blessed with boundless optimism," is the swordsman's reply, still grinning, his attention primarily focused on the silver-haired witch, "and I've yet to reveal all my tongue's tricks." Ivo, the children. "Everyone, this is Alicia. She's the reason I was able to help us navigate Macalania and find those flowers; we teamed up to gather some rare herbs earlier. Alicia, these are my friends, Reize, Violet, and Nagetta." He jauntily gestures toward each in turn. "Reize is our fearless leader. Just now, he tried to fearlessly eat some sort of building material. It's such courage that inspires our confidence in him." To be fair, Ivo, all of the building material in this village is, in fact, edible. As if recalling this, he glances down at the tomato in his hand, which he seems to have plucked just out of lack of anything better to do. Now, however, his eyes have narrowed in thought. "Something else we need to do, huh?" The lamia's question has made Ivo contemplative. "Hungry, huh?" Reize's forlorn comment has-- caused the corners of Ivo's lips to quirk up rather forebodingly. "Maybe what they need is some sort of diversion. Some sort of entertainment. Like a performance, or a game. Like maybe a..." And then, with no further warning, he whirls his arm around and HURLS the tomato straight at Reize, now grinning hugely, eyebrows shooting up. "Fruit fight!!" Whereupon he dives behind the massive carrot he was previously leaning against for cover, as several of the Apathetics slowly look over, vaguely stirred by the ruckus.

:'''[[Nagetta]] has posed:''' "Well, there's plenty of fruit here. Unless you're tired of that. I don't know how long you've been here for..." Nagetta suggests to Reize. "Do you want me to go back with you?" She figures they might be tired and need some extra protection. Her attention turns towards Violet and Alicia. She doesn't believe that's she's met them before. "Hello..." She's interuptted by Ivo throwing the tomato at Reize. She looks a bit confused about what's going on.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' Reize had long given up on the gummi, no longer finding it edible. Instead, Reize focuses on Ivo's friend, offering her a smile, "Oooi! Yeah, I'm the leader of the Shard Seekers. Pleased to meet you!" At Ivo's jive, Reize's antenna hair directs itself at Ivo pointedly. The boy furrows his eyebrows, trying to figure out what to eat. As he muses for food... *SPLAT!* The boy gets a facefull of a tomato. The red splot covers his face as he staggers back. "Oof!" It is then that Reize directs his gaze at Ivo, getting a tomato from the side. "Grrr.. I'll show you!" Reize is winding the pitch. He flings the tomato towards Ivo. ...Except that it sails past him. Or nowhere near him. It's destination: Violet's bosom. 

:'''[[Royce]] has posed:''' "Oho... /quite/ optimistic, indeed." The witch rests her hands on her hips in a mildly chiding fashion as she gives Ivo an amused smirk but her cyclopean gaze is drawn towards his companions upon their introduction. A young boy, a slightly older girl, and... a naga? That last one makes her eyebrows rise slightly. Since when were monsters friendly with humans? How interesting. "Quite the entourage." Alicia dips her head in greeting to the others, giving them a warm smile each in turn. She goes quiet for a few moments, pondering something to herself. And then there's fruit flying around. How bizarre. The witch's mind scans through her collected years of experience trying to place such an event outside of foolish children's games but it would seem that Ivo is indeed just that immature. Her bangs flutter as she exhales in an exasperated fashion. There really isn't time for this sort of a distraction. The secrets she seeks aren't getting any closer while she fools around here. Still she doesn't want to make it obvious she's trying to slip away. Alicia taps her chin for a moment and then bends down to scoop up some of the gelatinous mass from one of the walls of a nearby hut. It feels much like jello. She hasn't had time to properly analyze the stuff but it doesn't seem to be melting her armor so the woman just shrugs and then turns and flings the stuff towards Ivo, aiming for his face. If she can blind him for a few moments she'll be home free!

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' Violet blinks her pale eyes blankly as a tomato is suddenly thrown through the air. By Ivo. And Reize ends up with a face-full of tomato. tBoth hands snap up to cover her mouth instantly, once more keeping in the laughter that threatens to spill out. Never before has she seen such antics. And Reize was preparing a counter strike! As he throws, Violet curls her fingers against her chin as she glances towards Ivo, where she expects the tomato will land. Only... The tomato splats in the precise center in her chest, allowing the girl to blink blankly with surprise for a full moment. Then, she burns a bright a red as that tomato, her hands quietly trying to push off the mushed pieces, but it was already too late. The juices had splattered everywhere.

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' With opponents like these, Ivo has nothing to worry about. The still-grinning knight-errant emerges from behind cover to watch with amusement as Reize's half-blind and wild throw goes just about where you expect it would. "As usual, the fates benefit you in ways you fail to appreciate," the alleged elder of the group says, shrugging and shaking his head in mock resignation before his grin resumes and he turns to where, near him, Royce appears to be examining the wall of a building. "You see that, Alicia? It'd be wisest if you took off your top in adva--" SPLAT. A mass of gelantinous goo lands square in Ivo's own face, karma doing what it does best, and stunned, he staggers back at first, but bumps right into the carrot he was hiding behind and ends up slipping in some of the stray goo and stumbling forward instead, arms whirling in an effort to regain his balance. But it is futile, and his critical fumble sends him careening forward, goo-splattered face first-- "Waaahh!" --straight toward Royce's chest. Maybe Ivo /has/ been spending too much time around Reize.

:'''[[Nagetta]] has posed:''' "Why are you wasting food?" Nagetta's puzzled by this. Humans could be so confusing sometimes. Of course she bets they've never had to eat people in order to survive. It seems like she doesn't quite grasp the concept of a food fight.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' "I got you, Ivo!" The boy shakes a fist as he tries to wipe the tomato juice from his face. He is currently blinded a bit by the juices. However, the boy starts wiping his face once more to clear the tomato gunk out. It is then that the boy finally sees the fruit of his labor. All on Annalise's chest. "Uhhh..." Reize stares for a moment, "...Oops?" The boy turns to face Nagetta, "It's not waste of food! It's all for fun!" 

:'''[[Royce]] has posed:''' Direct hit! Alicia smugly grins as her tactic pays off despite the horrid aim of her shot. As a witch, she knows full well the power of luck and today it has favored her greatly. Now all she has to do is slip away quietly while these buffoons play games... 'Waaahh!' A sudden muffled outcry comes from nearby and despite her better sense, the woman turns to see what has happened. A look of wild surprise overwhelms her as Ivo's goo-covered face comes sailing towards her with his body rushing desperately to keep up. There isn't any time for her to dodge and her form of magic isn't the sort that is called up on a whim which leaves her only the option to brace and prepare for the worst. A final stumble causes the tall lanky man to pitch headfirst. The ground here is soft enough that he doesn't have to worry about any permanent damage from taking a spill but something far softer and bouncy catches his face in a crevasse that almost seems custom molded for his face. *Boing* Alicia slowly opens her eye to assess the damage. Well that wasn't so bad, she barely even felt... And the reason for the cushioned impact then becomes quite obvious. The witch stares at him for a moment not quite sure how to react to this. There are several responses that seem appropriate, most of which end up with Ivo in a smouldering heap. But his friends might take offense to that. Aha! Idea! Alicia reaches up and wraps her hands around the back of Ivo's head, pressing him further against her ample bossom. "Oh my! Are you alright? You didn't hurt yourself did you?" Nevermind the fact that he can't breath now. The fruity paste makes for a wonderful sealant on any gaps that might have allowed air down into her cleavage. No one will blame her if he accidentally dies doing what he loved, right?

:'''[[Violet]] has posed:''' 'Oops.' The flush still lingers in her cheeks as Violet gives Reize a mildly flat glance. But he makes a mistake. The moment he turns away to reply to Nagetta, the girl smoothly swipes a whole tomato and promptly throws it back at him in return. Retaliation!

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' Ivo dies and goes to heaven. Or so it seems to him, when he emerges from his jelly-induced confusion to find himself enveloped in a pillowy softness and sweet aroma, light-headed and graced with a sense of profound tranquility and satisfaction. Lying there, stunned, it takes the muffled gallant several moments to realize that his air is completely cut off, and several moments more to realize that he is trapped. By that point his daze has intensified, and he hears Alicia's seemingly concerned words from far off, feeling himself drift into slumber. Little does he realize it would be an eternal slumber, or that it would not be such a peaceful rest once Royce had her way with him. If he did, he would definitely-- probably-- well, regardless, it appears that our hero is on the verge of defeat from the witch's ultimate attack. But the swordsman's twitching arm ends up catching on a vice which had trailed its away about the house next to them, and a sudden tug sends a whole bushel of huge grapes, swollen to the size of oranges, scattering down upon the two, splattering them both with juice and freeing Ivo just in the nick of time. He collapses back, gasping for breath, eyes glazed over. "I saw a light," he murmurs, stupefied. "And it spoke to me and said, 'What do you think this is, an adventure game from the 90s? This isn't one of your Bad Ends.'" He pauses, and then furrows his brow, mind seeming to clear. "Not sure what that was about, frankly." Well, you almost had him, Royce. Clearly, it's the most effective technique for killing Ivo. You should probably try again. And again, and again. One way or another, he's sure to become your zombie slave.

:'''[[Reize Seatlan]] has posed:''' After the tomato falls over to the girl's chest, Reize is still in the daze. Errr.. Oops. The tomato is splattered all over her chest. ... All over her chest. All of over. Wait. Wait. Wait. ... Is this what Ivo ends up thinking about? Oh right, Reize is talking to Nagetta about the wonders of the food fight! Nevertheless, Reize is creening his head over towards Violet, "It was a--.." WHOMP! Reize gets a face full of tomato. And he trips against the gummi. GUMMI'S REVENGE! Reize is rolling down the hill. Rolling... and rolling. Meanwhile... The hooded figure snaps at the other hooded figure, "You fruit! You can be all with the fruit that you want! It suits you, you fruit! I am going to go back to being a great fighter and introduce the world to Rhinotaur Ravager to get revenge--..." Reize slams RIGHT into the hooded figure. Reize's status: x_x Hooded figure's status: x_X Both collectively groan. 

:'''[[Royce]] has posed:''' Yes, just a little bit more. The necromancer smiles darkly as she feels the life ebbing from the fool held helplessly in her grasp like a fly in a spider's web. Her hand presses him down firmly and despite his struggles the strength to fight back has already escaped him by the time he realises what's going on. As fate would have it, the very same fruit that has glued him to a little slice of heaven is the savior for the unfortunate knight. An onslaught of massive grapes comes tumbling down atop the witch and while her body might be nearly indestructible due to the magic binding it together, she is no more resistant to being pummeled by oversized fruit. Alicia staggers backwards and lands heavily on her rear. The massive cannon on her back makes a wet splat as it digs into the plaible ground but otherwise she is unharmed - and so is Ivo. She clucks her tongue at this realization but that could easily be miscontrued for annoyance at being knocked down. "Ooof! Well... that was unfortunate! Are you alright?"

:'''[[Ivo Galvan]] has posed:''' "Somehow," Ivo replies blearily, tragically unaware of Reize's hilarious fate, half-consciously wiping the remnants of goo from his face. "Actually," he adds in a speculative tone, "I feel really good, for some reason. What exactly..." Wow, he /must/ be disoriented. "...oh, you're a mess," he notices at last, clearly unaware that he and his beloved cloak have suffered a similar fate at this point. He retains the self-possession, at least, to manage another grin. "Why don't we take a bath? That pool in Macalania Forest looked like--" Blessedly, the vines that he destabilized at last tear free of their moorings just at this moment and their thick trunk collides with the back of his head, flooring Ivo and stunning him all over again. It seems like the Shard Seekers are more or less incapacitated for now. At last, Royce has her chance to escape. Surprisingly, though, the Apathetics look somewhat less apathetic than before. A large crowd of them are staring at where the fruit fight took place, no doubt having not seen such a display of exuberance in quite some time, and look unusually engaged. It probably wouldn't be too wise to try finish anyone off under these circumstances. Still, maybe this means that Ivo's ploy to 'complete the quest' wasn't so bad after all. It's probably a coincidence.

=== Profile ===
Sanel is an enigma. Any memories of his past, who he was affiliated with, or what he did are unknown. The only thing that Sanel can recall is his own first name. However, the physical scars and an ominous collar around his neck may tell of a darker story than what things appear to be. Sanel comes off as a soft spoken, innocent young boy. His child-like demeanor, along with speaking in third person, puts him off as slow at times. Sanel carries a giant-like strength, capable of lifting objects that someone his size should not be able to lift. As a fighter, he prefers getting in close range to grapple his enemy. Through cryomancy, Sanel carries a natural affinity to ice. If there is one thing that Sanel desires, in spite the loss of his memories, is a purpose in life.

==Abilities==
*'''Fighting Style''': Sanel relies on the use of grappling techniques and hand-to-hand fighting. Overall, he uses his immense strength to aid him in dishing out damage and has pretty good control of himself. While he is not too very nimble, he is pretty defensive.

*'''Herculean Strength''': Sanel possess an abnormal amount of physical strength that enables him to lift and carry heavy objects that even adult humans would have difficulty lifting. Rumors would have it that the boy has the strength of a giant.

*'''Cryomancy''': This is the gift of drawing upon the power to manipulate ice. Sanel possesses the natural ability to create ice in his hands and even make it disappear around him. He can shape the ice around him to any form that he wants.

*'''Arcane Eye''': It is an enhanced eyeball that allows Sanel to see the traces of magic, although there is no distinction over what kind of magic it is. When the magical presence is strong, the eye will activate, allowing Sanel to get a better visual. It is stronger than his other eye, giving him better vision. However, should the real eye close, the vision becomes distorted with the inverse color.

*'''Hand-to-Hand''': Sanel is a fighter who fights with heavy precision and with defense in mind. However, his choice of method for fighting is through the use of grappling maneuvers to put his enemies at a disadvantage.

*'''Collar of Darkness''': Usually hidden, there is a black collar around the boy's neck. At the center is a round crystal, which in actuality, is an eyeball. There is a dark, ominous presence within the collar. If one were to try to detect the magic on it, there is a high concentration of darkness around it. Even worse, it is impossible to remove from the wearer's neck. Any attempts to remove it will release a burst that will backlash against the person attempting to remove it as well as the wearer.

*'''Singing''': Although he is generally spoken, when he sings, it is hard to miss. An adept singer, he possesses a lovely voice. However, the songs he sings are in strange hymns.
