An Unexpected Destination (Open~)

[Vapor]

Just as Emi was about to reply to Eri’s joking question about pulling of pink with an equally joking answer, a tall figure approached. Tall being the best description as he appeared to be half human and half fox, which was unseen to Emi. Eri, on the other hand, just had a slight quizzical look on her face as if these things happened often.

Aiden seemed to be the stranger’s name and, he too, knew nothing about this place known as Twilight Town. He seemed to have overheard their previous conversation and decided it best to ask Eri to tell him about it too. ”And my name’s Emi.” She introduced herself after Emi had finished introducing herself.

The pink haired girl took the time he took to bring the chair over from another table to give him a once over. He’s a tall, just like anyone is to Emi, person with the face, tail and fur of a fox. He looked terribly out of place in the café that they’re in. But that wasn’t the topic up for discussion at this moment in time, which was made apparent when Eri answered Aiden’s queries, including ways to earn Munny which seemed useful to know as it’s the currency around here.

Before Emi could bring up the topic of how and why Aiden arrived in Twilight Town, he brought up a completely different topic. Strange white creatures lurking in the forest nearby. ”There’s a forest..?” was the first thing that went through Emi’s mind, before processing the mention of creatures of the strange and white variety. ”I only know of strange, black creatures.” She started, remembering the creatures that brought her here in the first place ”And they were elsewhere. So I’d like to know about these too.



((Sorry about le wait~ I'll try not to procrastinate so much next time :3 ))

"Umm, white creatures...they are generally called nobodies. It is strange that you have already seen them here. They usually don't make all that many appearances..." Eri furrowed her brows a little at the man's question. It really was a bizarre event when those creatures showed up in Twilight Town. There were some days when Eri felt that the weapon she was given was essentially an useless purchase. So if this Aiden had spotted them in the Forest, that could potentially be a very bad sign.

Eri half contemplated taking a trip into the forest by herself to eliminate them herself. She quickly realised how bad an idea that would be. She wasn't exactly the best warrior out there and she had no idea how many of them this stranger had seen. Or if he had even seen what he thought he had. Maybe if the other two would go with her if it sounded like it was a big threat, then maybe she would go into the forest.

Come to think of it, Eri never had really set foot in that forest. There was something very eerie about it that she didn't trust at all. She had heard of a mansion that was supposedly haunted, but once again, she'd never actually gone that far to see if those haunted rumours were true. It wasn't because she was cowardly by any means, she was just overly cautious and was well aware of what her limits were.

Emi asked a similarly phrased question about the Heartless. Turning to face her, she spoke. "Well, those black creatures are called the heartless," She eyed Emi for a moment and added, "But don't worry, they are a very rare sight here like the nobodies."

Seemingly not having any more questions to answer, Eri took a sip of her drink. She thought a little about the Heartless. She hated them for taking her family and her home away from her. Yet, she owed them at the same time...for if it weren't for them, she'd never have met Auntie.

No.

She felt in her heart that wasn't true. She was sure they were destined to meet. The heartless just made that happen sooner rather than later. She'd never feel guilt towards felling those shadowy menaces. However, she couldn't figure out what the Nobodies were. She couldn't exactly make up her mind as to whether they deserved to be destroyed like the heartless did. At least not yet.

"Nice to meet you, Emi." Aidan nodded curtly to her. She seemed to be staring at him. Which was not surpising, given the fact that he was such a strange sight. In fact, he was a bit taken aback that they weren't more shocked by his appearance, but at least they were friendly.

"Yeah, I was just wandering around the place, not sure where to go, and I stumbled across a weird hole in a wall, which seemed to lead to a forest. That's when those 'nobodies' attacked me." He told them.

At the mention of black creatures Aidan nodded. "Yeah, Heartless, I know about them. Where I'm from, we were fighting a war against them, and well... now I'm here." He looked down for a moment. "But you say that Heartless are rare here, so that's good."

"So, is there anything in that forest?" Aidan asked. "I didn't really get a chance to explore it, I got a little spooked by the nobodies, thought they were ghosts or something."
