---

Mercade Alexander has posed:
The THREADS OF FATE guide the seekers to the mountains of China. Many wanderers might be surprised to see the significant changes in clothing and the transformation of their money to the coin of the realm.

Mercade Alexander, in this case, is dressed up in a silk coat, cinched with a belt He looks kind of silly, but he's dealing with it as he climbs among the rocks and ascending into the frosty highlands of China. "Will said the track goes this way." He calls to the others. Will himself appears to have been distracted by some food. He gets like that sometimes (all the time).

He leads the way, trudging through the snow to an icy cave, where the familiar voice of Magica DeSpell can be heard echoing from within. "Well, I still have one piece. It wants freezing! Of course it wants freezing, it is ICE CREAM! But there will not be just /any/ freezing, no! Hahahahaah!"

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart decided to follow with Mercade and the others this time. Since they were hot on the trail of Magica, she figured the more help, the quicker she'd get that ice cream recipe back to that mercantile duck, and she'd be able to sell some too!

Well that's the plan at least. Right now, considering how lightly dressed she is, the 'frosty highlands of China' are anything but touristic to her. She has her arms wrapped around herself. Why did it go from the beach to the ice cold mountains anyway, stupid thieving ducks grumble mumble.

She's keeping in movement to avoid getting too cold at least, hopping from one feet to another to warm up her muscles as much as she can.

"Are we there yet?" She's asked the question quite a few times already, with good reason!

Will Sherman has posed:
So Will is a bit distracted, but eventually catches up with everyone with a large amount of rice in his hat.

He is currently /eating it/ with chopsticks /out of his hat/. Will also seems to have no trouble walking, eating, no eating is not the word to describe what Will is doing now.

He is INHALING his food as he walks up. He looks around, trying to get his eyes back on the trail of ice cream.

"You know," he says between bites, "You could have waited...patience is a virtue, and well...I bet another heartless is guarding this one. I know patterns, and I know evil ducks." Okay so he's met two, but they /both have the same pattern/!

Ward Zabac has posed:
Ward Zabac @emit Ward was a little worried when his clothing changed into some type of armor that reminded him of his time in the military, but he noticed he wasn't the only one. He looked at Mercade and wondered why they were looking for ice cream in this frozen mountain. 'who's Idea was this anyway? He climbed last behind everyone. Being the biggest meant sometimes beign the slowest. In this case it was more of a choice so he can guard against anything coming behind them. His trademark harpoon on his shoulders Ward hummed to keep himself entertained. Hearing Tifa whine Ward chuckled to himself. He looked up and saw it was going to get colder and quicker, He thought he might move to the front to make way through the snow if it came to it.

Maira has posed:
Upon reaching China, Maira was fairly stunned to discover that suddenly her clothing has changed to beautiful red silk cheongsam with golden flame designs. "Oooou...." she says, looking down at herself. "I like this! Silk is fire retardant too!" she adds with a bright smile and a hop in her step.

She's not entirely sure why she is along on this mission other than they seemed to tolerate her presence; which for the moment is as good as friendship to Maira.

Running on ahead, Maira walks up behind Will and eyes the rice in his hat. Her stomach growls. "Shhh..." she says, poking it as she follows along with the group. Her eyes travel to Ward then. Up and up she looks until FINALLY she reaches the top of him. "Whooooa....you're super tall!" she informs him, because Maira is apparently Mistress of the Obvious tonight. "I'm Maira! What's your name? Like the armor. Super cool."

Vara Toruv has posed:
A stranger dresses fully in black, appearing from behind a pile of rocks, isn't suspicious in the /slightest/ as Varaspies the group trudging through the mountains. The two baleful blue eyes stare down on the group, as she watches them from afar. And if they're here... Then the Heartless summoner who attacked Costa Del Sol won't be far away. Hopefully. Just out of sight, a voraciously munching Chocobo gives an impatient 'Wark!', shaking off the snow, and hopping from claw to claw.

Mercade Alexander has posed:
"We're here." Mercade replies to Tifa quietly. "Quick, if we go in quietly we might get the drop on her."

Will gets a look from Mercade. "With how much you were eating I was expecting you to be there all week." HE waves to Ward and Maira, and grins. "Let's move."

He leads the way again, quickly sliding into the maw-like cave as they draw closer.

At the back of the jagged cave, a large number of magical signs have been chiseled, Magica DeSpell ranting as she hops around them. "Those meddlers think they will be able to stop ME! MAGICA DESPELL! I will not tolerate this insolence!" She holds up the last piece of the recipe, looking at it. "I'll have to get the Boys to go get the pieces back. THIS WAS ONLY A SETBACK!"

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart nods to Mercade. Finally, she might be able to warm up. There's a cave too, so should shield from the wind at the very least, that'll be a reprieve. She sneaks along the walls, trying to be subtle about the approach... although with a semi-large group like this, it might be a lost cause, but hey.

She just wants to get back and get a hot shower now.

Ward Zabac has posed:
"Ward looked down at the little girl and waved. He pointed to his throat and made a slicing motion across it. "Ward" he barked out and coughed. He followed behind Tifa and Mercade. Be quit Mercade had said, Maybe he should go first then. He stepped up to the front and set a hand on Mercade's shoulder. "Let me go." he signed to him once he got his attention. To him it made sense since he couldn't really make that much noice. He looked at Tifa and Mercade for confirmation.

Maira has posed:
Oh, right. Quiet. Maira nods with an apologetic look and makes a zipping motion at her mouth before she creeps around with the rest of the group. When she's not busy being extremely talkative, she can move pretty quietly. Orphan skills--you get really good at going unnoticed!

Will Sherman has posed:
Will finishes his food, brushes out the remains in the hat, and places it back on his head. If the cold is bothering him, he doesn't seem to show it as they finally make it to the cave.

Magica is of course ranting as they make their way in...of course she is, they always rant, it's just like a thing Evil Ducks do.

He finally sighs, turns to Mercade, flashes him a grin...

Mercade knows that Grin.

And he leaps down, hitting the cave floor running and aiming to litterally jump right for Magica, possibly Midrant/speach...

And aims to deck her.

Mercade Alexander has posed:
The team goes to sneak in. Everything goes well. She doesn't seem to notice them... And then Will does that grin. Oh god. That grin. He knows that grin. Before Mercade can even react, though, Will launches forward, exploding onto the scene like only a Hobo can. He leaps dramatically into the air. Everything goes in slow motion. The raven nearby looks shocked as Will lunges across the cavern. Magica slowly looks up...

And BLAM. Will punches Magica solidly in the face, sending her flying backwards to smash into the wall. She grunts, falling over with little pentagrams and ducks spiralling around her head. "Ugh... What hit me?" She asks, dazed. And then she shakes her head, a look of pure fury on her face. "YOU! YOU FOOLISH HOBO AGAIN! WHY DO YOU ALL KEEP CHASING ME?" She stomps her foot, and turns. "Fine! This time I am prepared! With a recipe for... YOUR DOOM!" She holds up the fragment, and sticks it on the wall, incanting a spell. It sticks there, sealed by dark magics. "KERZAP!" Yes. She just said kerzap.

The cave suddenly shakes, the cavernous maw beginning to close upon those within. Magica laughs as she turns, vanishing into a Corridor once again as the maw slams closed, just after they escape.

They then turn and see something more horrible, as the small mountain the cave was in shifts, breaking open to reveal a huge icy creature, glacial and spined. Black energy roils around it, the Heartless symbol prominent as it slams forward, the cavern they were just in the maw of the huge creature, with a massive body, claws, and legs rough-hewn from ice as it prepares to do its mistress' bidding!

NO COOL ANSI THIS TIME. PREPARE FOR BOSS FIGHT.

Will Sherman has posed:
Ohshitohshitohshit!

Suddenly William is running out of the Cave with everyone else infront of him. Hitting the ground, he rolls and finally looks up as the massive thing looms over them.

"Oh." he says, that's a thing...lets see...

Getting back on his feet, he looks around....Mercade's there, and still alive, good, and so there is Tifa.

Maira is crazy, and he's not sure if he wants any of that.

Oh hey Ward! Something seems to be swirling around Ward and Tifa...alright...

First things first...he grabs the strings of Tifa, Mercade, and Ward, aiming to soldify their strength. Suddenly they'll feel...faster.

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart frowns, and jumps forward along with the others. Why did it have to be more ice? She's already half frozen! >_< But not like the exercise won't help keeping her warm here.

Ward Zabac has posed:
Ward got ready. everyone was running back, so he had to be the first wall to stop them. it was his thing to protect his friends

Maira has posed:
This duck person is seriously bad news. She just keeps getting away! At least Will got to deck her. That brought a smile to her face.

Maira watches as an icy creature rises, a slow cheshire grin beginning to form. When the ice creature shoots shards of ice her way, Maira simply holds up a hand that flares with flame, creating a temporary barrier. The ice simply disintegrates before it can reach her.

Also, its is now comfortably warm in the cave--beware however, at this rate, it is about to get steamy.

Maira lashes out by slinging a spark of a fire spell, followed by two more powerful bursts, as the glow of her materia surrounds her.

Mercade Alexander has posed:
Being in the cave might be dangerous. See, because the cave is its mouth. Mercade Alexander launches out of the cave mouth, focusing on evading the horrific beast as he rushes for a rocky outcropping. He needs room to maneuver. Will's fate-linked augmenetation via Hobo Lad Style helps, as he luckily finds better handholds and crevices to use to get around. It might even make up for his horrible luck.

Maybe.

Ward's harpoon smashes into the ice, sending fragments flying everywhere. Tifa's Oppa Zangan Style follows suit, shattering pieces off of the titanic Heartless. But much like the other creatures they have fought, this thing appears to be durable and terrible.

It might be dangerous to stay in that huge, deadly cave-maw, as the claws lash out, trying to grapple its foes and throw them in!

And then it chomps down.

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
The barmaid certainly had better days when it comes to it. She was in the mouth, a very bad choice of position, but she didn't know any better whens he entered, so she became a prime target for all of those icy teeth. The ice bites into her legs as she deecides to go for more strategic retreat, at least out of its mouth... but that means going back in the wind. She can't win can she?

She grumbles as she moves in for the next offensive. Well, she doesn't know if that thing can fly, but let's see if mighty Zangan punches can put some lift on such a huge monster.

Will Sherman has posed:
Will trips on the snow...

And then gets caved!

Oh god why! Why does this hurt! How does this...

Will suddenly has an idea....the magic effecting this thing was inside...right?

Will slips down, letting himself be swallowed...aiming to try and get deep....deeeeeep down...

Trying to find the magical seal that was making this thing an actual thing...

TRIANGLE TRIANGLE TRIANGLE!

And then repeatedly punches it. Using the power of the god hand.

Ward Zabac has posed:
Ward was a pit stunned by the size of the creature, but it didn't stop him.

He looked back and made sure everyone was ok. then he was going to go all out. he preped himself for a long battle. if he could take he would have told them good luck. instead he gave everyone a thumbs up and went about attacking the monster.

Maira has posed:
Right. Might not want to stay in the creature's mouth. That would be very bad indeed. "Meep!" Maira exclaims as she begins to scramble after Mercade out of the cave. Sadly, she does not quite make it.

The monster's teeth bite right on down on Maira's.....butt. "AAAH!!" she screams, then hauls ass (literally) away from the beast before she prepares her next attack. "Ow ow ow ow--Will!" she shouts, watching as the hobo lad lets himself be swallowed by the creature. "Oh no..." she whispers, then flares her magic once more to try a different route. Can the thing be poisoned? Time to check. Maira takes a deep breath, then spits it out toward the ice beast in a noxious green cloud like a dragon's breath. To punctuate the effect, Maira summons the winds to blow the miasma toward the Heartless.

Now, perhaps, a spark will ignite.

Mercade Alexander has posed:
The gathered forces show that if the mountain will not move, you will punch the hell out of that mountain and MAKE it move. Ward and Tifa combine their forces, smashing with incredible force into the glacial beast and shattering hunks of it away like so much ice as it is launched into the air. Mercade fires bullets at it while it is there, but the twin bullets just ricochet off of the faceted surface. Maira somehow gets more luck with poison than fire against the ice creature, as the hissing miasma washes over the creature and causes it to shudder, being corroded by the magical force. It then pauses, bulging for a moment as Will punches it in the magic.

It looks like it chokes, horks, and grabs at its 'throat', moments before he horks out and spits Will out, lookign significantly the worse for wear.

However, there is still the problem of the huge beast in the air. The massive glacial beast shines in the air, appearing to be made of crystal, though the Heartless symbol on the massive creature burns with dark energy. The glacial beast slams downwards, descending with terrible force as he impacts the ground amongst the group, before twisting and shredding everything around it with lashing icy claws and terrible force!

Will Sherman has posed:
Will finally rolls out of the thing's mouth.

He lands next to Mercade, landing, a second later he hat lands perfectly on his head.

"So I might have punched the spell making the thing together." he says to Mercade, with a grin on his face. He can't wait to see Magica's face when she realizes he just punched the magic directly.

However, the heartless is back on it's feet, And infact, aiming to /rip them apart/!

Will moves, left, right, left...and punches as the claw aims for him...

Deflecting it away from him, before looking towards the monster.

"No! BAD HEARTLESS!" he says, before punching at the arm a few times, aiming to send debilitating strikes through it, trying to disrupt the tangled mess of strings and magic it was.

Ward Zabac has posed:
Ward and Tifa knocked the thing up and as it came down hit Ward with a decent blow. Ward grinned it had been awhile since he had been hurt.

Ward let out a cry and threw his harpoon high into the air out of sight...

Ward then ran and jumped after it casting aero to make him go up. he was going to come down with a crash and a smile.

Maira has posed:
Maira closes her hand in a fist and does the standard "YES!" thrust as her poison and then her fire takes route and finally does this Heartless some damage. Maybe her luck is changing? A girl can certainly hope!

Sadly, there is no wood around to knock on. The Heartless comes barreling down like death from above, writhing with chaotic fury. Maira is stuck by one icy claw and flies back, only managing to break some of her fall with a quick burst of Air. Still, she is in pretty bad shape. Hardy, Maira is not. Pissed? That she is.

With a flash of her whiskey colored eyes she incants to summon a giant hammer made of flame that smashes down upon the Heartless in retribution!

Now...to catch her breath and heal. She scans the field to see who else might need a bit of healing. How about Will? He just got eaten and regurgitated! That had to have hurt.

The wicked flame turns to a soothing green as she calls upon her cure materia.

Mercade Alexander has posed:
"Good!" Mercade yells. "Maybe that will slow it do... Oh hell." He looks up, and freezes for a moment, before he slaps himself. Immediately, Mercade throws himself out of the way of the massive assault, grimacing as he sees the surroundings get torn up from the attack. "All right. If that's how it's going to be..." He says, before leaping off of his perch with a spinning maneuver, firing both barrels red-hot as he comes slamming down into a slide on the slick ground. He tosses the guns into the air, launching them high into the sky a he reaches into his goat, pulling out a Remington pump-action shotgun, which he unloads straight into the beast at point-blank range. It howls, crashing and shattering under the onslaught as Mercade ejects the last shell, and leaps into the air, catching his guns as he rebounds off of the beast, leaping off of it towards another perch. He might be a normal guy, but damn if he isn't an agile bastard.

Ward comes in fast and furiosu right afterwards, slamming his harpoon down into it with a thunderous strike. IT's no whale, but it certainly moves like one. With the strike, it roars, thrashing as Will leaps in and strikes it repeatedly, weakening it for Maira to finally get a fire spell in edgewise, the flaming hammer smashing downwards onto it!

Shaking, it shudders, rising into the air to hits full height. The empty caves that serve as eyes burn with dark power as it hisses... And it opens its maw, spitting out a salvvo of burning, horrible spheres of destruction that slam downwards, raining on the area with thunderous evil energy!

Mercade Alexander has posed:
Mercade gets blasted by all of the meteors.

All of them.

He's left crumpled in the bottom of one of the craters, twitching. He'll be back with you guys shortly.

Ward Zabac has posed:
Ward came down hard and rolled out of the way deflecting the monsters attack he let out a groan getting up from old age mostly. he prepared himself again to attack.

Will Sherman has posed:
The dark energy flows out...

But Will is not easily detered.

His hand burns...both hands burn as hie punches forward...the darkness parted infront of him, as if he was a small boulder in a stream as the darkness aims to swallow him up...but he parts it.

His eyes narrow...Mercade bites it, and he can't stop it...Maira, who just helped him does to...

Will does something that he doesn't normally do...he gets /angry/.

He shouts...more like roars...

And he dives right towards The beast, aiming to leap up to try and get right into it's face...both hands glowing bright RED. What's more...more then that, the fists themselves seem to slightly distort reality around them...

And then he punches...

For a brief moment...everyone. I mean /everyone/ sees the image of barren wastelands...dry rivers, burning forests...cities hollowed out burning husks...

Will punches...and they see, in that strange twisted landscape, the punch litterally start to try and unravel the monster heartless...from the inside out.

Reality reinstutes itself after a brief moment, as Will soars down to land...

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart's tiny rock definitely wasn't enough protection. When the small coments of destruction rains down, she ends up thrown in every direction by the blasts. She can't even land down that she gets tossed in a different direction. But yet, once the onslaught dissipates, she's raising back to her legs, even if shakily, and definitely burned here and there. "And here I was complaining about being cold..." she grumbles a bit, but takes her fightins stance again "Okay, I've had enough of you, taste this!" She rushes into for a strong combination, starting with an upprtcute, following by a beautiful spinning sommersault... and before she even touches the ground, she's already charging up her ki in her fist, glowing a bright yellow like the sun.

And the second she finds a catch with her feet on the slippery surface, she slams foward with all her might, an explosive fists that drives into the icy monster.

Maira has posed:
When the Heartless rears up and starts to summon horrible comets of death and destruction, Maira feels her heart stop as her brain projects in a super flashing red light; BAD THING BAD THING BAD THING

Then the pummeling begins. If her voice can be heard by any over the cacophony of destruction, she is screaming.

Just like last time, she lays, feeling incredibly broken, willing her body to move. Failed by the physical, Maira resorts to magic. She activates her materia to summon a push of air that helps her to her feet, though standing seems like a truly terrible idea.

"I...I can't do it..." she says, falling down again to her knees.

"We will do it," comes the voice that only she can seem to hear. A small smile appears in reply, and Maira nods, giving Uist her blessing. She feels a now familiar tugging at her soul as Uist begins to manifest. A humanoid creature of incorporeal red mist forms, his wings carrying him in a rush toward the Heartless. He does not stop. He does not attack. He simply passes right through the creature, pulling a piece of its essence with him.

Mercade Alexander has posed:
The mountainside smoulders with darkfire in the aftermath of the destructive assault. The Glacial Horror prepares to strike again, prepares a surely lethal assault...

Until Ward strikes, forcing it to one knee as he shatters it. Tifa and Will follow up, Wil dissasembling the creature on a metaphysical level, while Tifa slams into it on a physical level, unleashing a devastating combo as YEAH!s explode all over the place on a reel far away. The beast hangs in the air, shuddering as it begins to unravel, resisting to the last, when Uist shreds through the creature, striking just as the final blows from Will and Tifa land, causing it to implode... And then explode in a shower of disintegrating darkness, bright lights released from within to fly high into the air...

And the last recipe piece falls, fluttering down and catching on a rock, once again totally unharmed.

Far away, Magica DeSpell yells, cursing in unprintable Duck Language as she watches the proceedings on her crystal ball.

Will Sherman has posed:
Will lands...

There is a brief moment where he seems to not be sure where he was...but he shakes his head ant sees the recipe. He picks it up to take it over to Mercade, and looks down at him...

Will sighs...placing the thing in his hand... then suddenly looks up.

Right at Magica. Right. At. Her.

The look is brief, but it reveals a silver of his true nature...and the disrupting force that just turned a Heartless inside out.

He turns back towards Mercade, worried about his friend. "Hey, no dying on me yet." he says, worried.

Maira has posed:
When the Heartless implodes, Uist returns to her, the reddish mist passing through her to deposit to her what was stolen from the Heartless. She feels only a little bit better. It simply wasn't enough. Luckily, she does have some potions stashed and at least one cure. She'll have to reserve it for whoever needs it most.

Looking around, she assesses the damage around her before whispering something Uist and drinking her potion. With great effort, she gets to her feet and staggers toward Mercade, Will, and the others. "Okay...everyone just...gather round so I can heal you," she says, sounding like she'd like to go to sleep right there.

Mercade Alexander has posed:
Mercade levers himself out of the smoking crater, groaning in pain. "Ugh. I didn't ask for this..." He mutters to no one in particular, and drags himself up to the edge. "You guys have the piece? Please don't let me have been mauled for nothing."

Mercade Alexander has posed:
Mercade Alexander snatches it up!

And promptly tumbles back into the crater. "AGH! OOF! OHH! OW! THAT WAS MY SPINE! OH GOD POINTY THINGS!"

A couple minutes later, he crawls back up, this time hanging over the edge. "You're a real jerk sometimes, Hobo Lad. But at least with this..." He waves the recipe piece, "We'll be all set. The entire set is reassembled, and we can /get paid/." Mercade stresses the last part. "Are you guys all okay?"

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart slumps down on her knees in the show, and then on her arms forward, as she pants, trying to catch her breath. She's pretty well burned, but still in one piece at least, the rest can be healed (or a good night's sleep will wave it off). She shakes her head "Do we have the page after all this?"

Will Sherman has posed:
"..." Will is silent as he stands, aiming to help Mercade out of the goddamn crater.

"Yeah. Paid." he says, suddenly distant.

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart looks over to Maira, holding her arm, shaking her head "No, I had made a deal with the recipe's owner to sell that ice cream you see., but we couldn't make some without the recipe."

Mercade Alexander has posed:
"Yeah. We took the job from Scrooge McDuck, who's like richest ducks in Duckburg." He pauses. "I do hope we get paid in cash and not ice cream." He sighs. "Anyway, what's your name again? I need to get this all documented so McDuck knows who to reward."

Ward Zabac has posed:
Ward Zabac Ward gather himself and dusted the snow off of his armor. The battle was over he went and strapped his harpoon on to his back. He then went up to Uist decided to be healed from her. He wasn't as hurt as the others were but the Heartless had done a number to him.

Ward sat down and opened up his pack and rummaged around for some food. He grabbed what he guessed was a deep fried burrito and started munching on it. He shrugged his shoulders and looked around at everyone. "What now?" he croaked as he ate and drank. He was breathing heavily still. It would be awhile for him to get into combat shape. It was a good thing though. To save people he needed to get back into shape. He looked to everyone and wrote in large print. "So...anyone up for hot springs?" and "fight money?"

Maira has posed:
Maira blinks several times. "There's ice cream!? That makes this all worth it! I love ice cream! ...Money would be great too though! I need some new clothes," she comments.

"Wait...there's seriously a place called Duckburg?" she asks, making a face. The world is more ridiculous than she imagined.

The smell of a burrito and the mention of hot springs nabs her attention like yelling "materia!" around Yuffie. "Hot springs? That sounds awesome....also, are you going to finish that?" she asks, pointing to the burrito.

Ward Zabac has posed:
Ward Zabac Reaches into his bag and grabs food for the rest of the party. He wouldn't let them go hungry while they all were still hurt, hungry and cold. He handed the food out and picked up Mercade out of his crater and set him against a rock. Ward then pointed to the top of the mountain noticing the sun going down. "Late". He said.

Mercade Alexander has posed:
"Hot springs would be awesome." He straightens, moving much better after he gets healed by Maira. "Wow, thanks! That's amazing!" He apparently doesn't run into curative magic often. He climbs out of the crater, and reaches for his head... And then grimaces, instead rubbing the back of his head. "So yeah. God, what's up with all of these huge monsters?" He looks over at the mountain, nodding. "We should get back down the mountain, get some food and relax. That would be great."

Maira has posed:
Maira takes the burrito and happily noms it. She eats with the sort of relish Will might recognize as someone who hasn't always had steady meals. "Mmmphhnnn," she replies to something or other, likely the suggestion to head down the mountain.

Gulp!

When Mercade says her magic is amazing, she grins brightly and blushes. "Oh, th-thanks...so, where is this hot springs? Really, find me a cold springs and I can MAKE it hot," she offers.

Then, Maira looks to Tifa. "So, where is this bar you work at? I want to come to have ice cream!"

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart phews as she stands back up "If there's a hot springs here, I'm sold. I'm 'well done' right now, and that's not a good thing." she groans a bit. She smiles to Maira "Well its in Goug, if you ever coem by, you'll find it in the slums, called the Seventh Heaven."

Will Sherman has posed:
"There is no rice, right? Hat's on my head." WIll says, with a smirk. Also, a chance to cause shennanigans.

Mercade Alexander has posed:
"God, you're such a black hole." Mercade grunts. "Anyway, let's get moving. This place is too damn cold." He leads the way down the mountain, to food, hot springs, relaxation, and PROFIT.

Maira has posed:
Maira yay's to ALL those things! Yeah! She's gonna buy some clothes that fit! And a gallon of ice cream!

"Goug huh? That's ringing a bell for some reason..." she muses, but she's probably lost too much blood to make the connection between Goug and Midgar just now.

Right. PROFIT!

Ward Zabac has posed:
Ward Zabac Walks down the path with watching the sun go down. Being couped up in your head is rough some days. So he hummed again thinking about the old times. He watched as they entered town that everyone still out was a lot smaller than him, but he had grown used to it. He followed Mercade hoping he knew where he was going.
