"I suppose I should go ahead and make my way for the door," Alice said, taking a couple of steps away from the group. Most of the weird monsters seemed focused on them for the moment, so she would be safe for now. It wasn't as if she posed a threat to them or anything. What could she possibly do? It was obvious that these people were seasoned fighters, taking on the monsters with ease. She didn't even have a weapon, nor had she ever held one in her entire life. Only in dreams, Alice. Only in dreams.

Trinity casts Cure on Tenkai! [+34 HP Recovered]

MP: 37/45

Seeing that Tenkai had sustained quite a bit of damage between the morbidly obese Heartless and one of the flame shooting ones, Trinity raised her keyblade causing a shower of sparkles to fall on Tenkai. They seemingly did nothing at first, but in mere moments, they began to shine, fixing up Tenkai's injuries as if they never had existed. "Fatty seems to pack a punch," she said with a slight grin, readying herself for attacks again. Of course, she would be there in the case that Tenkai needed healing again. The assassin didn't seem to have a strong affinity for light, but that only made her holy healing spell that much stronger.

Trinity waits.

Kazega moves to E4.

While the Shadow Heartless didn't seem like too much of a threat, the newer Heartless were starting to overwhelm Tenkai and Trinity. Kazega swiftly dodged around Chris, unleashing her fans as she traveled. The weapons soared through the air, striking the floating target easily. Kazega came to a halt and caught her weapons, expertly flicking them right back at the Heartless again. When they came back to her this time, she held onto them firmly, waiting for an opening to attack once again.

The energy that had surrounded the Heartless eventually broke and shattered into millions of pieces before fading. Her skill had worked and now she could lay down some serious pain, which was a nice touch. Not to mention Clara and Ryas and just about anybody else who used magic of some sort could take advantage of it. Reaching into her bag, Chris took out yet another bomb core, frowning. This was her most effective move currently, at least the most effective one that wasn't draining. A small explosion went off right in front of her.

Clara attacks the Enemy Party! 15 Int Damage! 2 Hits!

"No problem Ryas, just stay safe. It'd be a shame if something happened to you."

Clara spoke over her playing, the rather basic tune having a better effect on all of the enemies in the area. At least, if one compared it to the previous fight. Guard Armor had some tough defenses, and these enemies couldn't amount to the same standard. It was a relief that it was actually damaging them all, even if only slightly.

"Son of a bitch!" Ryas hissed as the small Heartless brought its claw down toward her. Sensing the danger, her clay doll leapt up from its place on her shoulder and intercepted the attack. At the same time, a protective barrier prevented the Heartless from dealing its full damage. Having taken almost no damage, the doll floated back onto her shoulder, looking no worse for wear.

Scowling darkly, Ryas let her mana swirl once again above the little bastard's head. Instead of a ball of water, however, a small thundercloud formed. A spark emitted from it before a bolt of lightning struck the little critter where it stood. The magic was amplified by the water and, combined with its lowered magic defense, effectively fried the creature.

[Ryas] casts Thunder on [Hurry]. 10 Lightning INT DMG. Chance of Paralyze.
MP: 55/65 Times Used: 9/10

"I appreciate the support," Tenkai said in a way of thanks to Trinity. She hadn't really seen the need for the girl to heal her but did not deter her from doing so. If that was what she wanted to do, Tenkai wouldn't deny her. Besides, it would keep her on the field longer. Looking past the large body in her way, the assassin pondered what to do. She could try attacking the big one or kill off the small floating thing.

The answer was obvious.

[Tenkai] uses Wire Constriction on [Singe]. 28 ATK DMG. 8 hits. Sure hit.
MP: 13/45

"Two down," Tenkai smirked, drawing back her strings as the body of the small Heartless dissipated into the darkness. It was unfortunate that she would not be able to take care of all the little ones. Now, which to focus on next. The assassin continued to ignore the biggest Heartless, focusing more on the smaller ones. "Five more to go."

"Okay. Fatty's gotta go," Trinity stated with a grimace, dashing behind the large thing quickly with keyblades at the ready. "I hope this is enough for you!" Trinity roared...kind of. At the sound, she launched into a furious combo of blows upon the fat Heartless's backside, strike after strike connecting causing the thing's fat to jiggle in the front from the sheer force. With the main onslaught complete, Trinity slashed it with both her keyblades while performing a backflip and finished with a large horizontal swipe with both keyblades as well. Twirling both, she entered her normal battle stance. "Why do I get the feeling this won't be the only one we have to fight, either?"

Kazega moves to F7.

In a flash, Kazega found herself brushing off the flames from one Heartless and targeting a different one that was threatening Alice. "Focus on a real threat," she stated in a deadly calm voice, leaping into the air only to disappear with a gust of wind. She had become the wind itself, circling around the Heartless that had so deigned to attack the innocent Alice, launching her fans at the creature from all directions, watching as they sliced through it again and again and again. Catching the last of her tosses, she soared high into the air before landing back in her original position in a solid form, fans outstretched dramatically.

Another core filled with energy exploded upon the now paralyzed Heartless, the attacker too focused on the creature. Chris hadn't even noticed that the things had been trying to attack her, much less Alice. She was enjoying her rather effective battle strategy for herself, that was until Clara spoke up about the girl's rather poor condition now.

"That... doesn't look good."

Chris moves to D6!

Clara attacks the Enemy Party! 15 Int Damage! 2 Hits!

"Oh my... are you alright Alice?"

Clara brought one hand up to her mouth for a moment, quite horrified that the girl had been the target of attack. She hadn't even done anything to the Heartless and yet they went after her. It just proved how weak they truly were, to attack the helpless. Bringing the hand back to the organ she quickly began to play faster, hopefully it would help end the girl's malicious attacker.

"Wha-Alice!" Ryas groaned, smacking a hand to her forehead as she heard the girl's plight. They left her alone for two minutes and some stupid Heartless had snuck past their radar to attack the vulnerable blonde. Well didn't this suck ass. The Witch gritted her teeth, inwardly debating what to do until she reached a decision. Damn it all.

Gathering an orb of green light in her hand, she flung the ball at Alice, carefully aiming it. It curved around the table leg before hitting the girl. The green light then seeped into her damaged skin, doing its work in knitting it back together. Unfortunately, Ryas couldn't do anything about the burn the girl had received just yet. For now, she would have to keep her healed up.

[Ryas] casts Heal on [Alice]. [+12 HP recovered]
MP: 47/65 Times Used: 23/30

"Alice, please try not wander around, these things have no mercy," Ryas requested in the most polite voice she could. It wasn't as if she had anything against the girl and Alice didn't know how to fight, which was obvious by her demeanor. Besides, the girl was probably panicking right now. Screaming at her would only cause her more distress and then half of the party would get on her case about it. She really didn't need that.

Hearing the commotion in the area where the magical attackers were situated, Tenkai watched in amusement as they panicked. They couldn't even protect one little girl. The assassin chuckled. How entertaining. But seeing as how Kazega was already making her way over to assist the group, there was no need for her to help out. It seemed she and Trinity would have to handle the big one themselves. The other members were preoccupied.

[Tenkai] moves to [B-2].

"Unfortunately, I am incapable of dealing as much damage as I could," Tenkai informed the keyblade wielder as she moved around the large bodied Heartless, feeling at her reserves to find them quite lacking. She clicked her claws before suddenly tearing into the Heartless' body. "But it'll have to do for now. As long as we keep this one away from the others." That would be a disastrous.

Another scream permeated the air as the floating monster unleashed a mighty jet of flame at close proximity to her. It hurt even more than the fire projectile, and she was definitely sure she wasn't dreaming now. Her heartbeat began to quicken, but she tried her best to remain calm. "Oh, I can certainly see where you'd get the idea that they were merciless creatures," she spoke simply, hiding the inner fear that was starting to build up within her. "If I could just make it to the door, I would be out of your way..."

"Damn, this is not looking good," she said with a scowl. It seemed that the Heartless and the party were on equal footing, both dealing good amounts of damage to the other. Shaking her head, she realized she kind of liked it this way. It was a challenge, but the group wasn't being completely overwhelmed. Still, there was a lot at stake. She plunged a keyblade into the ground and generated several orbs of power around her and detonated them, the resulting explosions blasting the large Heartless which gave her time to get away from it. Tenkai was in much better shape to handle it, and she needed to get rid of the floating one nearby so Alice would have a safe, clear path to the door.

"All right. About time I finished the job," Trinity said, leaping into the air while striking the Heartless twice, as she felt herself start to descend, she made sure to bash the thing with her keyblades a couple more times, leaving it seriously injured.

No more. She was hurt. Alice was hurt. The Heartless seemed intent on scorching as many as it could before being taken out, but that time was nigh. Kazega brandished a fan and began twirling it rapidly, slashing the little Heartless over and over again before quickly switching to her other to unleash more and more slashes, lifting the thing even higher into the air than it was before. Of course, with that caliber of attack, there would be no recovery. "You should be safe now, Alice. Hurry to the door. Trinity's got the other one distracted and we'll handle the rest."

Kazega waits.

Chris casts Psycho Bomb on Obscure! 7 Piercing Int Damage!

Chris lobbed another bomb core filled with energy at the remaining shadow. It had gone so far as to attack Clara, and she hadn't be able to defend against it. Her affinity for the light hadn't helped her much either, the darkness allowed the creature to break her barrier.

"Hang in there."

Chris waits.

Clara had just enough time to react as she saw the frog like Heartless jump at her. A quick playing of several notes and the barrier of hardened around her. The Shadow met with quite a bit of resistance, but it slipped through rather easily with the darkness. The claws stung worse than any poison, the pianist's scream piercing the air.

She bit her lip in what could easily be compared to agony, trying to stifle her scream. It was a rather vain attempt. The darkness from the cut had faded, but the effects of it were running rampant through her system. She could barely play the soothing song she hadn't used in a long time in an attempt to alleviate her pain.

"Oh FUCK," Ryas spat, looking murderous. She wasn't panicking, just incredibly displeased by the new turn of events. She could keep healing or do something about this little fucker who decided to go behind her back and attack the pianist. She grumbled, "God damn it. God. Fucking. Damn it." She let out a frustrated sigh before thinking.

The only reason Clara had been able to take the hit from the little dude was because of the protection she had provided for the whole party. Unfortunately, that had worn off. In other words, there was no way Ryas was wasting time to heal her. She could also try and heal Alice up a bit in case the remaining Heartless tried to go for her but that was doubtful considering they were all preoccupied. Ryas gritted her teeth. Okay, screw the thinking.

Spinning around on her heel, the Witch called upon another thundercloud. She then let it loose, a lightning bolt striking the creature where it stood. Hopefully, it would do as she intended and incapacitate the little bastard. If not, well, someone was screwed.

Another two were down. Tenkai glanced back over to where Ryas was and clicked her tongue. She didn't understand why the Witch was making such a big deal about all this. As long as the blonde girl got through, the others didn't really matter much. Besides, they could wake the ones who were knocked unconscious after the battle. Well, no use pondering over it. Turning back to the large bodied Heartless, the assassin decided to boost herself up a little.

"Are you doing alright over there, Ryas?" she called out to the Witch, finding the whole situation a little boring. It was missing something. "You aren't having any trouble, are you? Would you like my assistance?"

"NO BITCH!"

Ah, there it was.

The people were proving to be very powerful indeed. They had practically made the path perfectly clear for her. With haste she scurried along, getting closer and closer to the door with every step. It would only be a matter of time before she reached safety, for she wasn't clear of the battlefield yet. The unpredictable was likely to happen...when you least expect it.

Trinity wiped her brow, for the constant flames being tossed about in the battle were heating up the room a bit. She quickly turned on her heel and slashed downwards with one of her keyblades causing a small sphere of ice to drop down upon the head of the large Heartless nearby. Though asleep, she had to attack. It would have to die eventually. At least they had been spared a few fleeting moments of its onslaught. "Guys, we need to seriously wrap this up...," she said. Her body was aching from all the burns she received, not to mention the physical punishment from the fat ass Heartless. And of course she was curious about what was on the other side of the door, but that could wait. She just wanted a few minutes to catch her breath and treat her wounds.

Trinity waits.

Kazega moves to E6.

"Clara..." Kazega murmured solemnly as she turned in time to see the organist fall prey to the seething little Heartless in front of her. "We let it get too out of hand," she said, briskly approaching Chris while releasing her fans out to either side of her. The weapons twirled through the air and curved inwards to strike the Heartless once each before ascending and slashing downwards, returning to Kazega's grasp immediately afterwards.

Chris' hands balled into tight fists, a frown on her face as she saw the Pianist attacked yet again.

Taking out another bomb core, the Telekinetic filled it with energy and quickly chucked it. This thing was going to die.

Clara didn't bother summoning the barrier as the shadow struck at her again, it wouldn't have helped her. She let herself take in the felling pain, the venomous feel to the claws causing her to fall from the organ bench. But just as her heart, shining with radiance, began to lift from her body, a light shone down and it returned to her. Her unconscious form took in a deep breath and her eyes opened. Getting back to the bench, she began to play yet again the song she had played when the battle began.

Ryas sighed, shrugging her shoulders. Clara was lucky her magic saved her or else she would have been left unconscious until they got rid of Teeny and its counterpart, Biggy. Still, if they didn't get rid of the small one soon, the pianist was definitely going down. What a pain. Ryas rubbed her neck, eying the small Heartless with disdain.

She could always heal the pianist but it wouldn't be enough. The only thing they could do was beat the shit out of the little bastard. But with their firepower, it wouldn't be enough. Ryas inwardly groaned as she turned to called over the assassin. Surprisingly enough, said assassin was already making her way over.

[Tenkai] moves to [A-5].

"What are you doing over here?" the Witch questioned, frowning as the silver haired woman disappeared and reappeared near her. "Not that I don't appreciate the help. This thing's getting pretty annoying." She pointed at the little Heartless, giving it a small glare while she was at it. Tenkai shrugged.

"The big one fell asleep," she replied, stepping closer to the small thing. "If I were to attack it, it would wake up. And I don't think our dear little Alice would appreciate that." She waved a clawed hand in the direction of the girl. She was almost at the door. "Now, if you'll allow me." Without further ado, the assassin attacked.

[Tenkai] attacks [Obscure]. 23 ATK DMG. 4 hits.

"If you would," Tenkai tilted her head toward the battered Heartless. Ryas scowled. She could finish it off right now, leaving only the big one. Flicking her off, Ryas returned her attention to the stupid little bastard who had caused them quite a bit of trouble. Her eye twitched. Drawing her leg back, she slammed her foot into its side, launching its small body into the air. Right below it, cold air began to emerge from the ground and as it fell back down, icicle spikes burst up, piercing its little body.

"Wow, Trinity. You and your friends are very powerful," Alice commented on her way closer to the door which Trinity now stood in front of. Nearly all the Heartless had been cleared out. It seemed leaving through the door was no longer necessary. Still, she figured it would be better safe than sorry, not to mention she was immensely curious as to what was truly on the other side.

Trinity nodded to the girl. "Yes, we are definitely strong, not saying that we don't have more growing to do, but with all the things we've been through so far, I think it's safe to say we picked up quite a few things," she said and moved out of the way so Alice could get through. Her target was still the fat Heartless, still asleep. She moved close and began clobbering it with her keyblades, the attacks more effective than usual do her catching the thing by surprise. The only bad thing would be that it would wake up, but it might not even matter if they could finish it in one final swoop.

Trinity attacks Biggy! 4 hits! 21 Dmg per hit! (ATK)

Kazega waits.

Protected by the self-reviving Clara, Kazega felt at ease, along with seeing that almost all of the Heartless were eliminated. She fell to her knees. Her condition wasn't good at all, but as long as Alice was in danger, she had to act. Now, she could rest a bit. Getting herself killed now wasn't going to help anyone.

Chris moves to C4!

Chris nonchalantly moved closer to the thing but frowned upon reaching her next position. She wasn't really in range to do anything serious. At most she might be able to lift it and drop it. Better to save energy.

Able to relax finally, Clara began to play with a lazy drawl. She didn't have enough mana to alter the tones of her playing in any fashion, and she really didn't need to. Only one Heartless was left, and it was rather weak by now. Doing her usual playing, it was sure to have some effect, not that it entirely mattered. The thing would die soon enough.

"Alright, let's end this already," Ryas snapped impatiently, tapping her foot against the ground. She squinted at the Heartless from behind her glasses before taking them off and wiping them with the hem of her shirt. "A few hits should take it down, seeing as how it's sleeping. I'll just give it a tap." She pushed her glasses back up the bridge of her noise.

"Then I'll take care of the rest." Tenkai sped through the air, appearing beside the sleeping Heartless. With it vulnerable to her attacks, she cut as deep as she could into the large body. Removing her claws from the dark flesh, she admired her handiwork. "It's too bad not everything allows itself to be cut up as easily as this one did." Ryas grimaced.

Trinity banished her keyblades in twin flashes of light and brushed off her hands. "Looks like that takes care of that," she said and walked over to Alice calmly, closing her eyes and raising a hand towards the girl. Green sparkles of light appeared around her to mend her injuries. "Sorry you got caught up in that. There were a lot more this time around; they sort of overwhelmed us just a bit." She bowed her head slightly in apology.

"No, no, it's no problem at all," Alice responded, taking in the healing power with a smile. She did feel a lot better now. "I'm safe and sound now, and that's all that counts, if I do believe so." She looked around at the others. "What were those things again? They don't belong here, do they?" Despite never being in wherever they were before, Alice just got the feeling that those creatures most certainly didn't belong. They were...unnatural. At least in her mind.

"You're right. They don't belong," Trinity explained with a sigh. "They're called Heartless, beings that lack hearts and meander about on different worlds stealing the hearts of others. We believe they're hunting for the hearts of worlds, but most have been sealed off if I'm not mistaken."

Alice appeared to be shocked by this information. "Oh my, that's terribly dreadful...," she said softly. "There may be more around. We will have to take care then. Is everyone ready? I'm sorry for being in such a rush, but I get just a tad impatient when I'm curious."

by **Silver** Fri Jan 13, 2012 10:46 am

Clara played a quick string of chords, a small amount of light wrapping around herself for a moment. In a flash the major injuries she had received in battle were mostly beginning to heal. With another string of chords, she stood and the instrument disappeared in a flash of light as was usual. A small smile on her face, she walked over to the others, and allowed Trinity to explain the situation. When asked if they were ready to leave, she nodded.

"It would be in our best interest to move on. No doubt there are more Heartless running about here."

"It'd be smart to finish off as many as we can."

Chris also nodded in response, however she wasn't smiling. Her eyes were more focused on the ceiling from which Alice claimed to have fallen from. This was a separate dimension in her world, at least that is what it seemed to be. She blinked once, if that was the case who was to say there weren't one in other worlds, including her own. She hadn't even thought about that possibility before. What if he met with the same fate as Alice had in their own world?

". . . He's strong, no need to worry. I'll check when I go back."

"No problem, let's just get the hell out of here," Ryas agreed, crossing her arms. "As much fun as it is to kick the asses of these things, they get real annoying, real quick." The doll on her shoulder stood up and then began to do some shadowing bowing. Ryas scowled and smacked it. The doll slumped, on its hands and knees and a depressed aura surrounding it. Ryas rolled her eyes. She forgot how emotional these animated dolls were.

Tenkai reached over and plucked said doll from the Witch's shoulder, placing it onto her own. "I am also curious as to what wonders await us in this strange land we have appeared in," she admitted, folding her arms. Her claws dug into her arms and seemed to cut through skin but she paid it no mind.

"I just want to find someone who can fix the weird ship we used," Ryas grunted, scowl darkening.

by **Masquerade** Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:15 pm

Alice let out a giggle. "Your friends are very entertaining, Trinity," she stated simply with a smile. "Might you care if I steal them from you?" The girl moved over to Ryas, facing Tenkai, her eyes set on the little doll on Tenkai's shoulder. She offered it a little wave.

"It's not everyday you find friends like these. I'm lucky to have them," Trinity said, her smile an uneasy one, though her voice was of good cheer. "Maybe I could let you borrow them sometime, but you have to promise to give them back to me in one piece, okay?"

"Do your friends not get a say in this matter?" Kazega said slyly, glissading up to the door they had yet to open. "We are not objects for you to loan, dear Trinity. That said, let us open the door at last. If I am not mistaken, it is Alice who truly wanted to see what was on the other side." With no further hesitation, Kazega opened the door allowing the party to step out of the odd room and into the forest of sorts that happened to be outside. There were tall plants that they had never seen before, flying bugs that were far from normal. Who had ever heard of a rocking-horsefly? Scattered about were shrub sculptures of elephants and lions and other wild animals along with a few odd ones such as a sculpture of a couch or a pile of kitchen appliances. The dirt path set out before them was lined with large mushrooms of all sorts of colors; there was no telling what effects they would have on anyone who dared take a taste.

The group began to walk with Alice safely in the middle. "Isn't this amazing? I've never seen anything like it back in my own world. Who knew all of this could be found at the bottom of a rabbit hole?" She continued to marvel at the sights and sounds and just plain mystical essence of the place.

by Xenosaga Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:40 pm

At Alice's wave, the doll began to wave back, slowly at first, and then faster and faster. It nearly thwacked Tenkai in the cheek a few times, much to the assassin's amusement. She poked it with a claw and it keeled over, as if having been dealt a mortal blow. Ryas rolled her eyes and left them to their fun. She did, however, scowl slightly at the conversation between Alice and Trinity.

It was hard to miss the uneasiness in Trinity's smile. The girl had made it clear she did not trust the Witch and most likely didn't feel anything like 'friendship' toward her. Though Ryas had to admit, the feeling was mutual. She always hated people with hero complexes and it was apparent that that was exactly what Trinity had. Ryas shrugged. Best not to think about it too hard.

Following Kazega through the door, she almost laughed at the sight.

"Home sweet home, hmm?" Tenkai whispered into her ear. Ryas nearly jumped out of her wits. Sending the woman a scathing glare, the Witch wanted nothing more than to kick the internal organs out of the assassin as the woman laughed. Even her doll was laughing at her, if the way it was holding its stomach and pointing a hand at her meant anything.

"Not. Funny," she hissed.

"Not for you," Tenkai smoothly retorted. Ryas mimed a strangling motion, no doubt imagining the assassin in place of the empty air between her hands. "Blood pressure, Ryas." The Witch huffed and turned away. Having enough fun with the brunette for now, Tenkai decided to make some light conversation with Alice. "It's always nice to get out every once in a while, don't you agree? You never see anything as interesting as this holed up all day in the house."

by **Silver** Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:52 pm

Clara watched Ryas and Tenkai, a worried look passing over her face. She hadn't paid their antics much mind previously, but they had always been thrust into a fight or something that distracted them. Now that she was actually able to watch them she was rather worried, for both of them. Though the Pianist knew that the Assassin could probably handle herself, it would still be unwise to incur the Witch's wrath.

Moving carefully so that Alice stayed in the center of their little formation, Clara was particularly cautious to approach the Witch. She had a short temper, and if she was anything like Ariana when she was pissed, then talking would be difficult. She likely wouldn't want anything to do with anyone in that case, but the Pianist had to give it a shot.

"Are you okay, Ryas?-"

Clara bit her lip, that was not the right question to ask and she knew it.

"I mean... will you be alright?"

Chris frowned at the little conversation between Trinity and Alice. Did she really think that the rest of the party was her's to just give out like candy? If that was the case, maybe she had joined the wrong group. She shook her head almost immediately after that thought crossed her mind. She wouldn't have this opportunity if she hadn't, she would have been stuck on Alidaire after that.

"I do agree, Miss Tenkai. I've always been one for exploration, though Mother would definitely not agree with that. I suppose this is my chance to see the unknown for once," Alice replied with a smile as she walked. "You and your friends travel a lot, right? Have you been to many places? I'd like to hear about some of your stories sometime if you wouldn't mind indulging." She paused and put a finger to her chin. "A later time, of course. When we're somewhere familiar and can do it over hot tea. With a comfy place to sit. Yes, that sounds quite pleasant." She talked as if Tenkai would agree with the conditions regardless, and paid no mind that the assassin might refuse. The girl was lost in bliss.

Kazega had noted some of the reactions of the others. Now she walked close to Trinity at the head of the group. "I don't think some of the others enjoyed your joke," she stated solemnly in a hushed tone.

"Considering the people were traveling with, it doesn't surprise me," Trinity responded flatly, but in a quiet voice as well so the others wouldn't hear.

"You do not hold anything against them, do you?"

"Of course not. There was a point in time, you know. I thought it was a mistake to bring them along." She didn't say anything for a few moments. "The real mistake was thinking that in the first place." Trinity placed a hand over her heart. "It hurt."

Kazega tilted her head slightly. "What hurt?"

"When I said those things back at the Dragonscar Passageway. Before we entered. It felt...it felt like my heart was on fire. Inside, I was screaming, but the words spilled from my mouth instead." The woman turned her gaze away from Kazega. "After the incident, it still hurt, but the pain went away as we traveled a bit. Working with Ryas in the uncharted tunnels. Finishing off that weird bone worm monster with ease. Teaming up to defeat the Heartless in Benevolentia. It just made me realize that the choice was right. To bring them along, that is." Trinity looked up at the beautiful sky. "I kind of feel sorry for them."

"How so?"

"They're caught. By associating with me, they're enemies of my enemies. It's like...even if they try to run, they'll still be caught. Even if they abandon us to save their own lives, they'll get what's coming to them full circle. I trust them enough to know they wouldn't do such a thing, and I actually feel bad that such retribution would fall upon them should they take that devious, back-stabbing action." She shook her head. "But they wouldn't. As long as they stay with me, and with you, and with each other, we'll fight together. Risk our lives together. I just...I have a feeling..."

Kazega remained silent.

by Xenosaga Fri Jan 13, 2012 6:52 pm

"In time," Tenkai agreed graciously, seeming pleased by the girl's actions. The doll on her shoulder bowed at the blond before letting itself fall into a sitting position on the assassin's shoulder. Tenkai eyed the animated object curiously from the corner of her visible eye before dismissing it. She returned her attention to the little blonde. "It would be wonderful to have storytime during teatime. I would love to tell you about my more memorable adventures." An ominous light flickered in her eye but disappeared just as quickly.

The doll, however, had other ideas. As if in reaction to her thoughts, it stood up and started dancing. Every now and then, it would make a stabbing motion. Tenkai chuckled and flicked it with a finger, claws hanging at her side. The doll collapsed onto her shoulder, as if dead.

"I forgot how annoying those things become when I feed them magic," Ryas grumbled from her place near the front, her connection with the animated doll allowing her to know exactly what it did. She didn't understand why, but it liked to play around a lot. Either that or it was getting high off of her mana. Without looking, she could tell it was fooling around again. Well, at least it got the assassin off of her back.

"Hm?" Hearing her voice being called, Ryas glanced back to see Clara peering up at her, her lip between her teeth. There was no mistaking the worry on the pianist's face. She didn't quite understand what the woman was asking but decided to pretend she did. "Yeah, I'm fine. I mean, it's not like it's a big deal or anything." The Witch waved a hand flippantly in the air, as if the action would dismiss the unneeded worry. "Don't worry your big head about it."

by **Silver** Fri Jan 13, 2012 10:05 pm

"Oh... alright..."

Clara shrunk back slightly, the worry still evident in the air around her. She wasn't quite sure the Witch meant it, which bothered the Pianist a good deal. If she needed to get something off her chest, or confide in someone she should have just done it. Not that the Pianist expected the confident to be herself, just that she felt the Witch needed someone of the sort.

Chris meanwhile, glanced in the Pianist's direction for but a moment with a frown still on her face. Why did the girl care for the Witch's health all of a sudden? They hadn't really bonded in the time they had been traveling, they didn't seem all that close when she met them. It was strange to see such uncharacteristic closeness from one end. Mentally shaking her head, she removed the frown and faced forward.

"Mysteries and oddities... Why do I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of that here?"
