"Come on we can continue this at Wally's Place." Erika turned to look at Max seeing him a bit tensed up.

"What's up with you-"

"R-right!" he said, laughing,"I just remembered that I need some.....uh......oh! Right! Some metal polish for my warpike! Hahaha you see, I need to clean it to keep it from rusting! You guys go ahead.....I'll catch up with you later!"

The gunslinger growled lowly and grabbed the taller man by his collar. "What I remember is that not long ago you combust an ice bomb and used yourself as a shield for me. In less than thirty minutes ago you went through an Awakening, and you're concerned about the pike."

"Soo if you're traveling with me, or I'm traveling with you, you need to be in good health. Plus I'm a woman of my word, and I plan on keeping it that way." Erika's arms folded over her chest. "It's not like Snakey is going to constrict you in your sleep or something."

Max felt himself stop abruptly, almost losing his footing and falling backwards. He turned his head to look at her as she spoke and his brow furrowed. She didn't understand.

"I. Can't. Be. Around. Snakes. Period!" He hissed at her quietly,"I can't even move when I'm near one! All I can do is sit there and stare at it! I am terrified of them!"

He felt his heart pounding in his chest and felt the adrenaline coursing through his veins at the mere thought of being that close to a snake. It was driving him nuts.

"I can stand up in front of huge hoardes of heartless, almost zero chance of survival. I have done that. Standing up to a snake? I can't. Believe me. I've tried."

(to keep it moving...>>SEED WHERE ARE YOUUU)

Erika head tilted, while watching him practically freaked out with wide eyes. She slowly shrinked away as he ranted, which can turn into a monologue. A free hand scratched her head nervously with an uneasy giggle at his reaction once finding out that asking wasn't the best idea.

"Hehehe you know I think we'll be getting to Wally's house now. Hehe I won't judge you of your phobia no matter how ridiculous it sounds." She blinked and started to wave her hands to erase what she said. "No no no I'm not saying its ridiculous. I-i-its just funny to find a warrior be terrified over something like a snake.

"Hehe but don't worry," Erika grinned, while patting his back. "Snakey won't attack you. Right Wally? Yep,I'm sure you would be perfectly safe and fine." The gunslinger hooker an arm around his and started to drag him off towards Wally house. "I bet you won't be able to find Snakey. I mean Snakey can be a small little snake."

She was rambling....again.

(It WAS supposed to be Jawns turn but.......he left xD)

Maverick just let out a sigh at the conversation. They seemed so upbeat and happy right now. It will pain Maverick to tell them his story and his possible leave and cut off from humanity until he can sort this problem out.

Forcing a smile he said to Erika softly, "Sure....sounds good to me. Just point the way." He turned and looked at everyone there. Max, Wally, Roze, and Erika. Hopefully ONE of them will understand and try to help him. A shiver went down Mavericks spine as he thought of what might happen if the others felt that Maverick is too dangerous to be kept alive. Sure, Maverick has fought greater battles, but 4 vs 1. Not good odds.

[sumdood]

(actually, Seed, Roze left too. Before Jawn left, actually. Lol)

Wally smiled at Maverick, and continued leading the way through the streets of Twilight Town, his hopping gait drawing stares from passersby as much as Max's spear. He led them around corners, through alleys, until he came to a small cottage nestled inside a kind of courtyard area between two buildings, reachable only via a thin alleyway.

"This is home!" Wally said enthusiatically, Spreading his arms around in front of him, motioning toward the three story house,"Let's get inside, shall we? Mt joints tell me it's going to rain."

"Wow...go grandpa Wally," Erika muttered, while looking up at the house. "Hopefully you didn't go wizardry crazy that we can't use the door to get in."

Her eyes glanced at Max to see how he was holding up. She would advise him to think of something else other than a snake like a bunny rabbit, but snakes eat bunnies, and having that visual in his head of a happy bunny before a hungry Snakey latched around it wouldn't be helpful.

"The sooner we get in the better, because you sir need rest and you just survived a miniature exorcism." Following inside, the viewable room looked blank. Now seeing it all, she wondered where the snake and essentials of the house was. The floor looked bland and boring like the walls. It wasn't like Wally to have a normal looking house with nothing in it.

Stepping forward, she felt something dry and leathry hit her face. Looking up she saw a plant that was in its pot. The soil never fell out of the pot obeying the laws of gravity as the pot stayed on the cieling, which looked to have a wooden flooring. Staring up, she could see a rug along with a tea table set. Her eye twitched. Did Wally seriously created or decorated this house up side down.

There was a teacup on the tea table, but a drop never fell. It rippled with the close of the door, which released a droplet the land on the floor, which looked like it should've been a cieling. She blinked feeling the sting of the leaved brewed drink.

"Wally...seriously..."

[Deleted]

Maverick simply shook his head when he walked in the house and saw that almost all of the attire was put on the roof. Crazy old man indeed. Tapping Erika on the shoulder as he walked in, maverick whispered to her.

"Is there a place I can sit down, or for all of us? I feel like it's time to tell you why my darkness is going out of control." Maverick tried to keep it a low whisper, he didn't want the others to get unnerved at his words.

[sumdood]

Wally simply walked in the door without a word, touching the four corners of the door frame as usual, and walked up/down the walls to where the furniture was on the ceiling, sitting down in a chair.

"Well," he said, motioning for the others to do the same,"What are you all standing around on the roof for? Come and sit here of the floor!"

He took the cup of tea off of the table as his summon, Snakey slithered up and Max groaned, starting to shake.

"Tell him to put that thing away!" He muttered to Erika, his eyes never leaving the scaley serpent.

"I think...we'll have to...walk the walls." Erika whispered back towards Maverick watching her teacher demonstrate before sitting on his chair.

"Well," he said, motioning for the others to do the same,"What are you all standing around on the roof for? Come and sit here of the floor!"

Erika blinked and itched her hair before turning to Maverick again. "You know at first I thought he was kidding, but he's serious."

Hearing Max, Erika looked towards the source of his fear. Walking up the wall, she grabbed the snake before sitting on a chair; her hair dangled below her as she held onto the snake, while watching M&M, Maverick and Max, from above. "Is this better? Now come on up. Just walk the wall and don't freak out."

[Deleted]

Scratching his head as well, Maverick did his best to follow Erikas steps. He slowly walked up the wall and sat down close to Erika. He looked down and almost had a sensation of vertigo, Maverick doubted he would ever get used to this feeling.

"Wally? Would it be okay if I explain why I attacked you all now?, It would give me piece at mind"

(Mind If I Join?.)

A wondering teenager about the age of nineteen was lurking in the shadows of Twilight Town nearby where the group of people entered the house, owned by someone named Wally. For how long he had been lurking here he did not know, life just seemed to pass by like this. Avalon had been in Twilight Town for a long time now seeking a way to control the darkness within him, he sensed that the people who went inside were not mere civillians no, they were far more powerful than that and he even sensed a large source of light coming from the young girl about his age which made him shudder.

He stepped out of the darkness and crept up to the house seemingly out of sight listening to their every word. He chuckled at the sound of someone being afraid of a snake, they weren't that dangerous unless you were a fool to let it bite you of course. Avalon was intrigued by these people and decided to wait until the time was right to fully reveal himself.

(SUMDOODS TURN)

[sumdood]

(O.o I posted! What happened to it?)

Wally smiled at Max and and dismissed snakey from where she rested on Erika's lap and smiled up at the young man.

"She's gone now," he said, motioning for Max and Maverick to walk up the walls to the floor.

"Get down here now, you two!" he said, waving his hand still,"And yes, Maverick, please, explain it to us!"

[Deleted]

With a heavy sigh, Maverick began his explanation.

"Okay, I guess it all started when I was a child. I grew up on a village on some other world that I cannot remember the name of, anyway the day I found out that I could manipulate my bone structure like so..." Maverick made the tip of his finger bone protrude out and rest on the table in front of them. It spun slightly and landed with a tink.

Looking at the bone on the table Maverick continued, " Someone from my village saw that I using this power and told our village leaders that they thought I was possessed by some kind of demon. I found out later that I was being followed everywhere I go, which was not to bad until my powers got a little out of hand. I was playing tag with some of the other kids when all of a sudden the bones in my finger tips shot out and killed one of the kids. Within a minute I was surrounded and my mother was trying to get to me and carry me off." Maverick noticed that a couple of droplets of water had gotten on his sleeve. He looked up to see if there was a leak on the roof, but when he did Maverick noticed that he had been crying. It had been so long since he had talked about his past and his mother that he had forgotten exactly how sad his life actually was.

Wiping his eyes he continued, "I was taken into a mock trial system, I knew it wasn't going to be a fair trial, since the judge was the father of the kid that I killed. I was sentenced to exile and tossed out of the village, my mother as well. I know not of what happened to her. But one day while I was walking through the forest outside the village to find some food, I found a strange floating black orb. I knew better then to go near things I had no idea of what they were, but something called me to it. The instant I touched it the Heartless surrounded me, I was barely able to shake them off when a strange man walked up and told me my journey through the darkness was only beginning. After that I spent 12 years just wondering through the worlds with my new powers. And for awhile I gave into to the darkness and fought many battles. Each one I almost lost my life..."

Maverick lifted his shirt to show them all his many scars and cuts from each battle, with the giant gashes from his stomach and heart being the most visible. There was one, where his left lung would be, that had no skin and only a long, thin layer of bone could be seen. He put his shirt down and waited for their response.
