How to Seek Passage to a New World (open!)

[Bluebird]

The café in the First District was bustling, though Zephyr wasn't entirely sure why. She didn't think it was a particularly good time to have a meal, but with the constant night, her internal clock had been all but ruined—and even that was an incorrect assumption because it had been ruined—and so she didn't really know what time it was at all. She had never seen a time-keeping device before in her life, and therefore didn't know how to read one. Point was, whatever time it happened to be, it had to be around one of the mealtimes, because the café in the First District was bustling.

She had taken into deep consideration Amatsu’s interest in the different worlds, and Zephyr decided that she herself shared the same interest, although perhaps to a more dampened effect. The guy was over-enthusiastic to a fault, and Zephyr liked to think that she was a bit more refined when it came to the whole thing, but that probably had something to do with the fact that he had no desire to regain his lost home, whereas deep down, that was all Zephyr wanted.

“I don't think pets are allowed on the tables,” the waitress said, breaking the Arderian from her musings.

Zephyr peered at Jispo, who was playing with her food, a “portobello sandwich” they called it. The mushroom, she had gathered, was this world’s equivalent to a weebo, and while it wasn’t as fleshy or tasty, it suited her well enough.

“He’s not a pet." She glared at the girl, who shivered at the temperature of her voice, then nodded and went away.

There was a deep exhale as Zephyr tried to recall exactly where she had left off before she had been so rudely interrupted. One of the moogles at this time was delivering a letter to the Mikaboshi, informing him of her plans to seek passage to another world and requesting his accompaniment. It had been a while since she sent the moogle out on the errand, enough time for her food to arrive, so if he was interested—which she knew he would be—he would show at any moment. The only thing stopping her from constantly checking on his arrival was the fact that she knew she wouldn’t be able to recognize him anyway, and she was not about to pull her goggles down for some trivial affair.

“Excuse me, but we don’t allow pets on the tables, here,” said a voice, deeper and more masculine than the one who informed her earlier.

Zephyr sighed and stroked Jispo’s back as he chowed down on her fries.

“Jispo is not a pet,” Zephyr repeated, deciding this time to take a more elevated temperature with her tone. “Pets are slaves, creatures that are held against their will, or have been manipulated into believing that that is what they desire. They are denied their true aspirations for the sole enjoyment of their masters. Jispo is not a pet; he is my companion, and we take great offense at your sweeping generalization.”

The man crossed his arms. “We don’t allow animals on the tables, here.”

“He is doing nothing wrong!” Zephyr shouted, her chair scraping backwards as she stood in a huff. “He is bothering no one, least of all you, and more people find enjoyment out of his presence than not, more so than you can say about any of your other patrons!”

She was causing a scene, she knew, recognizing the turn of heads and silence that had fallen over the establishment, but she didn’t mind. It was exactly as she wanted it.

“If you will not remove your companion—” There was noticeable distaste in the word. “—I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”

Zephyr’s wings shook as she narrowed her eyes, her arms folding beneath her breasts.

“He’s staying.”

The man nodded. “I will get you a box and your check. Is there anything else I can get for you on your way out?”

“Yes,” Zephyr said. “Passage off this El-forsaken place!”

Shiro was drinking coffee at the peaceful cafe. Shiro felt like he was at peace with the universe. Until, a woman and a man were arguing over something. The woman had a pet too. Pets arn't allowed here, so Shiro knew what it was about. Shiro listened to the fight, it was harmless until the woman's last comment. Shiro stood up and walked over to the table.

"Okay, whats happening here?" asked Shiro, even though he knew what was happening.

"You shouldn't insult Traverse Town, miss. Traverse Town is a place where people go when their homeworlds are lost. The First District is like heaven comapared to the other districts." said Shiro, calmly. "Okay, so, I think you should cool down, miss. You arn't in charge of this world. If you want off this planet, hitch ride out of here."

Shiro knew he was pretty rude, but he wouldn't let this woman insult his home like that.

( Oh oh...I was invited by V)

Although Kyriu was busy reading he was surprised at what was happening. He would normally be with Lakuri right now, but he thought that a nice outing would suit him. He listened to everything that the people were saying. Now since he managed to save Reiho from being destroyed by darkness...people had never seemed to give him a break.

The student stood up from where the table where he was seated and walked towards the two people.

'' Um..excuse me miss.'' he started. '' Please forgive the people here, they tend to be unfair at times. Your pet should stay..I'll have a talk with them and see If I can change their mind'' Kyriu said to the woman in an extremely polite manner.

The student then turned to the male that looked about his age.

'' You know..If you want people to say good things about Traverse, you should probably look at the way other people are treated just because...they have something different. This is a home to every body, how about we first try to be more considerate..before we start telling others what to do'' Kyriu said again in a polite manner.

Kyriu didn't wait for much of an answer as he went to go and talk to the waitress and manager.

[ayama]

V jumped with joy as she entered through the door into Traverse Town first district, she stretched her arms and smiled as she saw tons of people walking by, some talking with their companions. "Wow..." she said in awe, "look how busy this place is Shira!" A voice in her head replied, mmmhmmm and then was silent.

V walked around, it had been three years since she'd last been to Traverse Town, and at the time there was only one thing on her mind that she wanted to do. See her good friend Kiryu. She took a picture out of her pocket, and gazing at the photo of her and the scholar she remembered her last visit here and how Kiryu and her met. She laughed as she thought about their adventure togeathet, and slightly went red as she recalled her kissing Kiryu on the cheek just before she left.

In her own world of memories she smiled brightly, until she heard loud voices from a cafe just to the right of her. She turned to see what was happening, and to her surprise there was Kiryu! He was talking to another man, and judging his expression they were having a quarrel about something. Curious onto what was going on she started walking towards
the cafe, she spotted a girl just behind Kiryu, a pet at her side.

She ran towards the girl and bowing slightly she asked smiling, "Hello, sorry but...do you know what's happening?"

[raiho]

Having finished serving an order, Saga looked around for any other client requesting the attention of a waitress. It was just a typical working day in the café, serving to the customers, looking for cute girls who might look cute wearing maid clothes and scouting for people to join her growing team of adventurers who were used to fulfill her plans.

There was nothing out of ordinary in that day, at least not until a disgruntled customer starting making a fuss and randomly manifested wings.

"Such wonderful wings, they need to be urgently attended!"

She pretty much ignored anyone who was on the way and moved next to the winged girl, she was kinda cute now that she gave her a closer look.

"Let me handle this"

With those words, she convinced her coworkers to let her alone to handle with this customer. She was known between her peers to be quite good at handling troublesome customers, namely she always kept her calmness and either was blunt enough to make the client learn his/her place or pretty much flirted a little with women of great beauty or cuteness until they calmed down and even "enjoyed" the special service. Also, she harbored a fetish for bunny girls and maids, seconded by an huge interest for girls with animal traits like dog ears or bird wings, so this winged lady was somebody she wasn't going to ignore.

"Those are really cute wings, and your little animal friend's are cute too <3"

She looked carefully at the wings and confirmed they were real, not accessories like the ones worn by some adventurers. Obviously she was from some sort of land where human-like creature were gifted with wings.

"Now now, there's no reason to get mad here. I'll personally be attending to your needs, if you want I would provide some extra service for your little friend"

The rest of the people who grouped around the area were of no interest and only made more difficult to move around the table where winged girl was, at least until another cutie appeared, calling to the troubled bird-girl.

"Don't worry customer, the problems is already solved. If you need a waitress, call me <3"

She looked again at the winged girl and it's animal companion and spoke.

"Now, care to tell me your name and your companion's and order something? Let's not be strangers, I'm here to serve you :3"

If weren't because she was in the work she would've already hugged that cute winged girl and pushed the girl's face into her breasts, but currently she had to be more respectful. It wasn't the end of the world afterall, if she played her cards right, she might manage to convince the girl to join her team for she looked like she had untapped potential that could be cultivated to make of her a powerful ally, and that's without counting any other special power she might posses judging by the lack of information regarding her species and other abilities forged in her original world

[Bluebird]

It was rather surprising to Zephyr the number of people that wanted to get involved in her little tirade. Before the Arderian could blink there was one, then two people at her side, the first taking the manager’s stance, while the other acted in her favor. However, despite being backed by the kid with brown hair, he still made a grave mistake that Zephyr was not about to let him slide with.

“Jispo is not a pet!” she yelled, stamping her foot down while the feathers of her wings rustled with irritation.

And then, before anything else could be said, two more people appeared, one asking what was going on and the other explaining. The whole thing was maddening.

“Thank you,” Zephyr said to the waitress, pleased that at least one person seemed to hold some sense, “but as you can see I’ve already ordered—” her hand pointed to the half-finished portobello sandwich for emphasis, “—and I’m just waiting on the check so I might take my leave from this wretched place.”

However sweet this girl tried to be, it was lost on Zephyr and her ire. The Arderian found her slightly odd as well, because twice now she was sure she had heard the girl say, “less than three”, but decided it wasn’t important enough to spare it any mind. But she did compliment her wings and Jispo, too, so that counted for something.

“As for you,” Zephyr said as she whirled on the black haired boy, her wings getting in the way of anyone who was too close, “leaving this planet is exactly what I intend to do! My compliments on your keen observation of a sentiment I explicitly stated not five minutes ago! Now, if you know of anyone that can get me out this town, then I’d be willing to listen, otherwise I suggest you shut your trap before I shut it for you!” Her larger than average finger poked him hard in the chest with enough force to knock him back a pace or two.

Jispo, in the meantime, was making pathetic little cries with all the noise, the fries on Zephyr’s plate abandoned in favor of setting his leafy crest high and rigid while he tried to make himself as small as possible. Unfortunately, Zephyr was too busy causing a ruckus to tend to him, despite how much his fur stood on end. Poor guy, somebody should give him a hug….

[nshansen]

When that woman poked him in his chest. It was HARD. It didn't stop Shiro from using his glove though. When he was poked, he simply concetrated his powers on himself and made himself float in the air with gravity, instead of being knocked down. Shiro felt proud, that was the first time he ever used his powers on himself.

"Sorry, miss. I don't know anyone who can get you out of here. And I'm sorry for saying that. That man was right. There is too many people here though. I regret getting involved in this." replied Shiro. "Now, my name is Shiro. I lived here basically all my life. All that I remember atleast. So, that is why I said what I said. I'm sorry."

Shiro gently landed on the ground and looked at the other girls. One, with the bunny ears, looked like she threw herself at men tons. The other girl, with the eye patch, looked very shy and angered. It amazed Shiro, the mood switched back and forth. Shiro walked back where he was.

"Why do you have an eye patch? No eye?" asked Shiro calmly. "I don't mean to be rude, I'm simply curious."

[Jason Arilani]

"One who wishes to escape must merely look for the one in hiding...."[/color] Said the mysterious man standing in the corner. Jason was used to recieving strange looks, especially for wearing complete silver all the time. He assumed it was because he was a nobody, but didn't pay much more mind then that. Jason's voice would be extended far above that of the others in the room, making sure that the girl with the animal companion would be able to hear him.

He was originally standing in the corner, arms crossed, eyes closed, and head looking at the ground, but now he was moving toward the girl, his legs moving in strange strides that looked almost as if he was gliding across the ground. Why was he here in the first place? Because in his crystal ball, he saw this particular location, and saw this particular girl at the location. He knew he was destined to help her, but how he was to do that was originally a mystery. Now... the mystery seemed to have some form of an answer.

Jason pulled Munny from his pocket and set it on the table "I do believe this will be plenty to cover the cost of the sandwich"[/color] He said, looking at the girl. He then turned his gaze to the apparent waitress, and added on "Oh... And feel free to keep the change."[/color] A meaningless smile appeared on his face, giving off the illusions of emotions within the nobody's missing heart.

He then looked to the others who were there, briefly acknowledging their existance and looked down at the girl and her companion. "Why don't you and your friend here follow me to a place that is less... crowded...."[/color] He said, showing almost a dislike for the amount of people, even though such dislike was not present in the nobody. He just figured he would help the girl and the animal companion get to a different world. The portals of darkness could be used in various ways, and Jason was quite adept at protecting his passengers through travel. He extended a hand of friendship to help the girl from her seat, hoping she would follow him.

( Ok time for a post order. Staring from me I guess. Kyriu, V, blue bird, Saga, , Shiro, Jason)

Kyriu wasn't sure what to do next. First of all he didn't need to talk to the employees because a waitress suddenly beat him to it. The woman was very strange, as she passed him he suddenly felt a feeling of dread, and a bit of emptiness. It nearly took all his strength, that is of course until the person named Shiro made him snap back to reality.

"Why do you have an eye patch? No eye?"

Kyriu sighed then turned around only to see V standing there. It gave him a bit of relief, but he also remembered that he had a something to say.

The student walked up to Shiro and spoke.

'' Honestly? Didn't you learn anything just now? How can you ask anyone why they have an eye patch? And then you ask If there missing an eye, and let's say they were. Do you think they would like to be reminded that they lack one? Also..so what If she has an eye patch? It's really...none of your buisness.'' Kyriu said to Shiro.

Since that was taken care of he had to move past the waitress again which was difficult seeing as how her size occupied most of the walking space. When he finally reached V..his introduction was rather quick.

'' Hi..nice to see you again..can I talk to you for a minute?'' Kyriu asked. While he normally would wait for an answer this feeling he was getting was horrible. Therefore without hesitation he took hold of V's hand and attempted to lead her out of the cafe.

It was easier to talk outside, he wasn't sure If she would agree though.

[Deleted]

Ravian was bored and hungry but mostly hungry and the closest place to get food was the cafe. He walked in to see an argument started in the middle of the cafe.

He sat down and watched as the argument got more and more participants. The girl that started the argument was in his opinion strange yet amazing in that she had wings!! If he had wings he would be long gone from this town he would be...well wherever else where was.

But seeing as this argument was drawing so much attention there was no way he was going to get served any time soon he decided it was time to have fun anyways he was planning on never being allowed in the cafe after he didn't pay for the meal he would have had if this argument hadn't happened.

He walked up behind a person with black hair, pale skin and a white backpack. He raised his fist behind him, said "hey" and punched the guy like he was trying to knock him through a wall.

This was gonna be fun.

[Bluebird]

((Hey guys, put up a planning thread by the Water Cooler to keep this thread as organized as possible. I suggest we keep OOC comments there and stick to whatever posting order is agreed upon.))

[ayama]

(thank u bluebird, for a while there I was getting really confuzzeled lol! Anyway sorry for the delay I had to do hw and all that fun stuff, well here we go!)

V was in sort of a daze, as Kiryu took her arm and rushed her out of the cafe. There was so much commotion, and the auras she sensed were almost captivating to her. But want she stepped out of the cafe she snapped right back into reality, she looked at Kiryu who had a slightly grim look on his face.

"Whats wrong?" she asked him, she looked back into the cafe and laughed. "Well, I guess my surprise arrival was ruined." she looked back at Kiryu with a warm smile. Then hearing a loud thump! She snapped her head back
to the cafe. She saw Shiro on the ground, and a man who's figure was hidden in the darkness of the cafe standing over him. She took her hand out of Kiryu's and ran to Shiro's side. "Hey Shiro, you ok?"

[Shun]

((My lovely Bluebird invited me in.))

"I wonder... can you trust the unknown emerging from the shadows?" he asked, slowly placing the menu which previously hid his face from the other humes on the table. The man was unknown to all but two of them, perhaps three if the man in silver remembered him, though he doubted it. Cyan gaze fixed on Zephyr, he stood up, leaving the table as he approached her and Jason.

A faint smirk graced his features as he crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes finding the nobody´s for a moment before returning to their previous target. The man knew he was a nobody, he had seen it in his... lacking aura. The danger in the worlds was increasing, and you couldn´t know who was in who´s side in those times. Dark times indeed. Even though his small resistance began to grow slowly, they would need much more in order to repel the menace.

"Well, well, well, if it isn´t Xena and Squirrel Baby. Really now, I didn´t expect you to hate Traverse Town that much... though I must say, there are more interesting places out there." Sarcasm spilled from his remark as he turned to the man behind her. He remembered him well... even though he had only seen him once. "I recall seeing you at Destiny Islands... just before Marluxia and Maleficent decided to bomb the Disney Castle with thorns and mad gardens. Ah... sweet times." Sweet times indeed, when such dangers were rare to be seen!

Suddenly, a mad teenager full of testosterone arrived, punching Captain America from behind. Cowards, striking from behind. Seriously now, Mikael would wipe that smile off his face. "Hey, dude..." he called, flames emerging around Ravian. "Your hair´s on fire." Suddenly, the boy´s hair was licked by the flames, probably setting it on fre. That kid better think before punching people randomly next time.

[raiho]

So, the winged girl was interested in leaving Traverse Town? This was the very chance Saga was waiting for, now she had an excuse to continue talking with her and convince her to follow the maid styled scientist part-time waitress.

"If you want to leave this town, I might be able to help. In some days I'm planning to leave this world to travel to unknown ones. And there's more details behind this journey if you accept to follow me and my merry band of adventurers. Oh, and here's the bill"

No sooner she dropped the bill on the table, three more men arrived and one of them even offered to pay for the meal miss winged love and her companion had. Two of them were unexpectedly interesting individuals, one had the scent of nothingness and the other knew about Marluxia, that nobody who provided the scientist with a dusk type white monster and hid many secrets.

"That was quite the generous tip coming from one who smells to nothingness. Are you by any chance familiar with the nobody known as Caxnon? Because he no longer exists thanks to me and the same might happen to you <3"

From the file folder she obtained from the now "gone" nobody, she had read some about the nobodies the entity called Caxnon once met, but the descriptions written in the pages weren't precise enough and unless she heard the name of this white "thing" that couldn't even be considered a living being, she couldn't confirm if information about him existed in the file. Not that it would matter at the end, because Saga now knew of the existence of another human-type white freak and she would someday attempt at capturing him and turn him into a human just like she did to Caxnon, whose nobody existence is gone, replaced by the humanity his human self once lost.

"And you, what is the relationship you have with Marluxia? I doubt the only intelligent man of nothingness I met would associate with an uninteresting individual, and I can even sense some darkness within you .. "

She gave a closer look at the man, who now was burning the hair of one of the newcomers and noticed some resemblance with somebody she briefly met before. The smell of his body matched the one of that person as well.

"Now I remember you, the kid from the attack of the gashapon machines, the monkeys and the giant behemoth. Looks like you survived after all."

She didn't bother to remember well the faces of the people who participated in that unusual battle, but if there was something that she would never forget was the scent of those involved in the incident for her senses were heightened to animal-like levels thanks to her mad SCIENCE!.

What seemed to be an ordinary day of work now become a very productive day for the slightly mad scientist part-time waitress, she had a girl to charm into joining her team, a nobody to capture and use as guinea pig for her nobody and heartless experiments and a fiery man who seemed to know a lot about the white and black plague, having even met Marluxia. This was going to be a good day

[Kuri, Queen of Feels]

( I'm here too add to this insane thread! XD hope u guys dun mind. also, Kyriu is here without kuri? madness! XD )

Dallas had been wondering this area for a while. Aflter just avriving a few hours ago, he was still very confused about this place... but there seemed to be no one in sight anywhere.. was this place desterted? he kept on walking until he came apon a cafe, there was people all around here.
Dallas was realived to see that he wasn't alone in this world but there seemed to be far to much cammotion going on to single out one person he could possibly ask any questions of, so it would be better to wait on that.

He started to walk over to the cafe, quickly glanceing at the people outside with his bright orange eyes. He didn't look long enough to seem creepy though, he just wanted to see what the people looked like here... it was strange.. everyoe seemed to look diffrent.... did they all come here spontaniously as he did?

Dallas walked over to one of the empty tabels inside the Cafe, and sat down. he didn't really feel like havin anythin to drink, he just wanted to observe the people and maybe "overhear" what they were talking about so he could find a chance to jump in.
