Micheal
The girl would of made her way into the town square of Traverse Town, looking around but her head turned slowly due to her long slumber. Then, she finally spoke but in a rather slow tone to her voice.

"Where... Am i...? I... Don't remember... A thing... And how i... Got here..."

The girl spoke as she just kept looking at the town. She then continued to walk around town slowly, not aware of any sort of thing that would happen to her.
Dennis
A Dark Corrider would open up nearby Sonata and a 7 foot tall figure in a black cloak would walk out, taking a slight look around the District and then focusing their eyes on Sonata. 

"**This place is Traverse Town... For you to not know this place your world may have felled to darkness...**" 

The person would take, their voice devoid of emotion but sounded female in the very least.
Micheal
"My... World...?"

The girl slightly tilted her head in slight confusion, as the blue haired lady turned around towards the tall figure.

"I... Don't know... Where i came from... As well as... My name..."

The girl replied before looking and placing a hand on her own chest as she closed her eyes.

"I dont... Have any memories... Of this world you... Speak of..."
Dennis
"That is to be expected, not many people do in your condition..."

She would go on to say and look towards Cid's Shop, debating on something before looking back at Sonata. 

"But you lack any memories of where you are now correct? Tell me, how do you feel about all of this? There's nothing isn't it? No natural fear or worry, you have to fabricate those feelings."
Micheal
"I... Feel... Nothing really..."

The girl replied to the figure showing no natural fear or worry at all. She then looked at her rods Sonata held before looking at the figure again.

"I kinda... Remember waking up with these... Six particular rods of wood... But thats about it..."
Dennis
"Then you are of a similar nature to my own then..."

The hooded figure would give a small nod and looked at the wooden staffs in her hand. She'd then reach for the sides of her hood, pulling it down to reveal her red eyes and spiky pure white hair. 

"Do you have any plans now? If you have none, I can give you a purpose: to remove that empty feeling and recover what you used to be."
Micheal
"I... Don't have any plans... So i guess... You can help me out... With giving me a purpose..."

Sonata spoke, looking slightly down towards the ground at the end of her sentence. Sonata then looked back towards the lady with red eyes and white spiky hair.

"Im... Ready when you are..."
Dennis
"More will come to you in time. For now, focus on what you will your name to be. That will shape *You* In the future."

She would say and then hold her hand out to the left of the duo. Darkness would open up from the ground in the form of a doorway, leading towards  for the time being.
Micheal
"My... Name...? I guess i... Could try to come up... With something... If your able to help... With it at all... I guess it can make... More sense to you... And me..."

Sonata did began to focus as much as she could with her eyes closed lightly. As the letters of "S", "O", "N", "A", "T", and finally another "A" Form infront of her, floating for a bit.
Dennis
"Sonata? Make sure to remember that near dearly, else you may fade away."

The figure spoke once more, waving her hand for Sonata to follow her through the door of darkness to get her acquainted with where they'll be staying for the time being.
Micheal
"No... I know what my name... Is gonna be..." 

The girl spoke as her focus greatened with the six letters spun around her rapid, before a yellow "X" Goes in between the "S" And "A", before the rest of the letters follow after X was "T", "A", "N", and finally "O".

"Saxtano... Yeah... That seems right..."

She said to the mysterious figure, before finally entering the door of darkness to get introduced where the duo will be staying for the time being.
Verna
*Dado walks over to the Mailbox, reaches in, and pulls out a package addressed to him. Like the brochure, the package implies the name of this place to be Traverse Town.*

*He opens it. Inside is a letter labeled 'Open First', another letter, a smaller package, and two hand-sewn cloth pouches.*

*He opens the letter and starts reading aloud.*

"Chosen wielder of Kingdom Key- oh HELL no." *He starts pacing.* "A chosen one? Aww, fuck. Come on!"

*He inhales deeply and continues, a grimace on his face.* 

"You have my sympathy for your world. All is not lost, however. Its Heart may have retreated to the Heart of All Worlds: Kingdom Hearts.

"Find and seal the Door to Darkness. After doing this, your world, and all others too, may be restored.

"Enclosed is a voucher. Redeem it for means of travel between worlds. It will serve you well until you learn to use the Lanes Between.

"Also enclosed is a device that will allow you to communicate with allies, even from different worlds.

"I hope to see you soon,
"Modgink."

*He opens the small package. Inside is a phone with a strange design: rather than a sleek monocolor look, it's adorned with primary colors and basic shapes.*

*He opens the pouches. Inside one is a peculiar necklace and... Coin? Inside another is... Wow. That's the most Munny he's ever seen in his life.*

*He opens the second envelope and finds the voucher.*

"...Item Shop? Great. Where's that?"

*He stares at his map for a full two minutes before finding the shop, then turns around and looks up.*

"Oh. Huh." *He walks in.*
Elizabeth
Minuit rested her hands in her pockets as she trudged back into the town after having been away for some time. The warm atmosphere greeted her like a blanket made of memories and experiences.

She didn't care for it. It wasn't that she had a reason to dislike the place, but being back felt like she was entering a birdcage willingly. She had spent so long wishing she could leave, and now she was back just cause all her stuff was still here.

It brought her to sigh with a shake of her head as she walked on.
Dennis
Ranoa had been cruising through the lanes between, hoping to find a new world to explore. Soon enough, he finds traverse town.

Soon enough, the whirring of a keyblade glider could be heard from above, flying above the town square.

Atop it, would be a figure clad in lightly colored armor, riding it as if it were some kind of bike.

A few moments later, he dives downwards, reaching a height of around eight feet, before using a ``high jump`` to hop off and land, around six feet away from minuit. The moment he hopped off, the glider fades into sparks, recalling the keyblade back, looking at it and allowing it to despawn.
Angela
Though, after a few moments, he spots minuit, running at her, stopping about two feet away with a little skid. The armor despawns as he does.

"Minuit!" He shouts, excitedly. He hasnt seen her in a bit, waving as he runs.
Elizabeth
Minuit stood like a someone who had seen a gaudy magic trick and then learned the magician was their loveable dimwit friend, and thats exactly what she was.


She raised a hand and gave a small wave to Ranoa as he ran up to her. He'd prolly explain it by himself, so there was no need to interrogate him on what that all was just yet.

*"Heyo, seems you've been busy."*
Angela
He nods repeatedly, a dopey smile lining his face. A comparison to a dog could be made, but thats besides the point. He then response, a proud tone in his voice.

"I have, actually! I've been to a bunch of worlds, met a bunch of people-" He pauses for a moment, raising his finger on if he should tell her about his shenanigans at agrabah, before putting it down.

"And, best of all-" He turns his body to the right, holding his arm out before a unique looking sword sparks into existence.

"I learnt how to use a 'keyblade'. Do you know about them?"
Elizabeth
Minuit nodded along and listened to Ranoa proclaim his progress with a smile on her face. On the note of him meeting many people along the way, she made a mental note to tell him to introduce her to some folks.

When his weapon was whipped out, Min tilted her head and looked at it from handle to tip. She'd look up to him again and speak afterwards.

*"Only through rumors, I've never seen a real one before.

But while I don't have a __Key__blade.."*

Min held out her right arm as well, and a cloud of shadow gathered in her hand before it dissipated and revealed a sword of her own. It was the first time she had ever shown the Soul Eater to someone else.
Angela
He seems proud as he shows minuit his weapon, having put in a lot of care to learn how to use it- before he hears her speak.

He lets out a little "Ooh" Of intrigue as she summons the soul eater, looking at it from top to bottom, taking in every detail.

"That's pretty cool, minuit!", he exclaims. "A bit.. Dark.. For my tastes, but its really cool."

Suddenly, a familiar look forms on his face- a competitive one.

"Wanna see which one is better?" He obviously means a sparring match, like their fight in twilight town.
Elizabeth
The question was music to her ears and made her smile widen. A new light seemed to shine in her eyes now that she had her sword drawn, something about the idea of fighting Ranoa right now sounded very nice.

*"Of course. Here?"*
Angela
He steps back by around six feet, pointing the sword at her.

"Yup, right here. First one to tap out loses?" He pauses- before continuing. "We could just heal any injuries anyways with magic."
Elizabeth
*"Sounds good."*

Minuit took her battle stance, the same one as their last duel.
Angela
Likewise, ranoa takes his own stance. Weapon slung over his shoulder, arm out as a defense.

However, as usual, he takes initiative, running at munuit before striking downwards swiftly in a ``Quick blitz.`` Its a quicker variant of the first time they fought, showing ever so slight improvement.
Elizabeth
Minuit was caught off guard by the increase in speed Ranoa had gained, she barely managed to swing her weapon in turn to meet his strikes. Darkness coated her sword and augmented her blows as she matched him using `Shadowbreaker`.

After clashing blades, Min would be forced to jump back and disengage for the moment. She tried to keep Ran on his toes by firing off a `Dark Thundaga` as she moved away.
Angela
Swiftly, ranoa uses a ``Dodge roll`` in order to avoid the thundaga, standing back up once safe summoning a ball of light, firing off a ``Pearlara`` at her. 

After this, he just begins walking torwards her slowly, his weapon back to being slung over his shoulder. Hes being cautious.
Elizabeth
In response to the incoming ball of pearlescent light, Minuit raised her free hand in front of her and summoned a `Dark Barrier`. A geometric magic barrier tinted dark appeared in front of her to take the blow.

After that, she laid her eyes on Ranoa's slowly approaching self. Rather than casting another spell or closing the distance, Min slashed her sword in front of her. A `Dark Slice` wave of light flew from the swing towards Ranoa.
Angela
Likewise, ranoa would ``Block`` the dark slice, struggling against the momentum for a moment. With enough pushing back, it's redirected against the ground. 

A moment later, he steps forward, before breaking into a quick spinning dash atop the ground with ``Air slide`` to close the distance.

Once close enough, he slams his weapon to the ground in front of her, three orbs of light appearing around him, spinning in an ``explosion.``
Elizabeth
Min was totally caught in the explosion, Ranoa's slick moves were too much for her to keep up with. The difference in power between them was becoming very apparent by now, as Min was blown backwards.


She used Soul Eater to help her rise to her feet, and pointed the weapon at Ran as dark smoke began to appear and billow around her body. The look in her eye had once again changed, becoming dull and detached as if she was losing sight of their duel being a friendly endeavor.
Dennis
Ranoa, despite being as goofy as he is, sees this transformation. He doesn't want to let this continue too far, fearing that she might get consumed by her overt use of darkness. Quickly, his ``Keyblade armor`` materializing on his body to protect against any desperation attacks, he prepares to attack.

Swiftly, like before, ranoa launches himself across the ground with a quick ``air slide``, before landing behind her and swinging the butt of his keyblade at the back of her head. Blunt force does wonders for the psyche.
Elizabeth
Min goes down like a sack of bricks, she stood NO chance. Her sword dissapeares alongside the smoke surrounding her, and she ends up unconcious face down on the stone ground.
Angela
Allowing his armor to dissipate into sparks as she goes down, he gently lifts her off the ground- holding her up under his arm as he walks to a nearby bench. Pretty convenient place to spar at, being in the town square and all.

Shortly after, he sits her on it, sitting next to her and leaning back onto the bench, muttering to himself.

*"I hope she doesn't get consumed by it. It's risky."*

And with that, he slowly dozes off.
Heather
*Fiora and Dado walk into First District. Upon looking around, Dado sees a small ice cream parlor called 'Traverse Treats'.*
*Two signs are hung up on the entrance:*
Featuring the best flavors from all the worlds!
Help wanted!
Verna
*Dado cocks his head at the first sign. Isn't that kind of in bad taste? Then again, it's probably comforting to some folks knowing their favorite flavor might still be around.*
Ashley
*Fiora looks at the sign but doesn't think much of it.* 

"Is this a good place? I heard about it but never tried it. I wonder if they have some flavors I enjoyed before... You know."
Verna
"No idea. Wanna find out?" *Dado smiles, excited. He hasn't had ice cream in roughly half a year. Even before his world fell, it was a rare treat.*
Ashley
"Yes! I can pay!" 

*Fiora rushed into line, grabbing dado's arm as she went and waited patiently, looking back at Dado with a smile.* 

"I wish I spent more time relaxing here rather than training and jobbing. It can get tiring killing a heartless that keeps coming back each day..."
Verna
*Dado pauses. Shouldn't he pay for his own? He opens his mouth to protest...*

*"Wish I could use a Keyblade... Would make me more useful..."*

*Then closes it. He'll let her have this.*

"Maybe instead of killing Heartless, your efforts would be best focused in a group. You can loosen them up so someone else can deal the finishing blow. I can tag along on your patrols if you want."

*He reaches to the side, then pulls out a paper menu, holding it between him and Fiora. It has a bunch of interesting flavors he's never heard of. Sea-salt? That sounds weird. Would it go well with peanut butter? Normally he gets chocolate peanut butter, but maybe he'll shake it up...*

"Any idea what you want?"
Ashley
"I hear people talking about the sea-salt one all the time. I'll try that one."
Heather
*The two enjoyed their ice cream and talked about their worlds. Twas a good reward for a good training session.*
Cynthia
Taking a deep sigh from her recent training Sapphire decided it would be best to treat herself with a sweet as she was always one to reward herself for accomplishments.

She headed towards the small collection of shops making a purchase as she thought back to her battle with Furo. While she was of little help she did feel as if she grew stronger, maybe even strong enough to start making a difference when protecting others. 

While her thoughts were on that she opened the box in her hand seeing the cake she had just purchased causing her train of though to halt. "How cute!! I just want to take this cake home and not eat it!." After saying that she plunged the fork that came with it in the cake and took a bite. She finally made her way to one of the open tables not taking up any space in the middle town.
Fay
I was focused on my work, taking some of the spices in the small box, and adding a little to the cup. Stretching out my muscles while rubbing the back of my neck the little table space was a bit of a mess with some journals on the side, cleaning up and straightening up my back.
 Realizing the hyperfiction and sudden awareness of my surroundings. I noticed someone eating a piece of cake next to me, "Is that their house cake? I know a good suggestion for a tea if you'd like?"
Cynthia
Sapphire snapped out of her cake induced daze as she took on a puzzle look at the stranger who spoke to her before what he had said registered in her mind. "Oh yes the cake from here is to die for!" She nodded at the suggestion for tea before taking another bite out of her cake. 

"Oh yes while this cake is great it is a little on the dry side." She then noticed all the different journals on his table before looking back at him. "Are you perhaps a researcher?"
Fay
"Oh! I'm sorry my name's Virin, but I mainly go by Vi, but I'd recommend a cup of Dragon Rose tea. It's one of my favorites."
I reach over to show her the journals of recipes for teas and coffees and what goes well together. Shaking my head "Researcher in teas yes, but I do love the arcane and magic, but I'm an aspiring knight. Defender of others." I joked with her close to the end gesturing a humorous pose of being a knight. 
"Are you a researcher yourself?"
Cynthia
She gave a little chuckle at his pose that he did as she brought her own research book that bought when she first appeared in traverse town. "Of course where I'm from magic was but one's own imagination and stories to tell the children. But I managed to learn a bit of magic on my own thanks to this book."

At the mention of the dragon rose tea it caught her interest as she looked over the journal he handed her. "These all sound wonderful to try but I'll take you up on that Dragon Rose." She handed the journal back over while also handing over her own. "My journal talks over simple magic and ways to protect yourself if ever in need with them. You are free to take a look if you like"
Fay
Listening to her, my eyes light up in sharing stories to tell children, "Reminds me of when I was a kid, inspired by heroes in storybooks. I understand I learned a bit of magic from my father." 

Sipping from my tea watching her go through my journal, nodding along. Taking the book back and storing it away and exchanging texts, looking through skimming slowly through the journal. "It's very detailed though and interesting!" After looking and studying the book before handing it back to her. "Thank you for showing me this." As I get up and a few moments of talking to the cashier and getting a new cup of tea, and sat down to prepare a Dragon Rose Tea. Pouring my heart into the fresh cup of tea, grinning ear to ear.
Cynthia
"With my own kids I always told them stories about magic and prince's and princesses, Now they are living in that world with magic and I'm having to keep that magic alive for them while keeping the horrors that doomed our world away from their eyes." She sighed softly before watching him walk away and shortly coming back with the tea. "Oh and of course they aren't really my kids I used to work with my parents at an orphanage so I always took them on as my own although I'm sure they saw me more like a big sister" She gave a chuckle at that mention as she watched his grin grow while offering her the tea.

"This book taught me about the heartless as well and I'm ever indebted to it, It gave me a way to protect everyone. Although I might need to steal a couple of tea and coffee recipes for myself cause they may very well save me when I ever get company."
Fay
The process was short and sweet as I passed the cup over, "Enjoy, and it makes me feel more encouraged to strengthen myself to be capable of defending others; Magic is a wonderful source to help curious minds." 

"I.. Well happen. " I trailed off remembering something grim. The grin that was once there fell through a dark reminder, "Well, I'd like to be capable of more than just fending off heartless." He shook his mind, refocusing on tea. "Yes! I don't mind sharing my recipes with new friends!" As I take up the cup of tea, going for a cheer with her.
Cynthia
Sapphire took a mental note on the change of tone as she took the cup of tea taking a sip before her eyes lit up. The aroma and flavor was nothing like she had before and she promptly took another long sip before leaving only a quarter of the tea left in the cup. 
"Oh my that tea was wonderful! You are very talented at this." She took a drink of the tea before finishing it off almost forgetting about her cake. 

"I understand what you mean." Just fending off the heartless isn't enough when the means to defeat them entirely still eludes her. "Oh how rude of me I never introduced myself! I'm Sapphire Lunar it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. And feel free to take a seat over here we can discuss more about magic if you like."
Fay
I noticed her expression. "If I may try a piece of cake," I chuckled, seeing her nearly down the cup. 
"Thank you. I have done this for some time and love sharing tea with others. I appreciate you enjoying my cup of tea." 
I gathered my belongings and shifted over to sit across from her. "Hello, well, introductions are in order formally. I'm Virin Witcher, and it is a pleasure as well to make your acquaintance." 
Sipping more of my own tea, "So magic? The only experience truly was the choice I was given to experience out of every area there was; I found my fascination with gravity." The quick-paced movements gave my excited nature about the topic away.
Cynthia
Sapphire's interest was sparked at the mention of gravity magic as she pushed the cake towards his direction. 'I never knew gravity magic was a thing? I only learned the basic elements but I appear to have an innate ability with water and barrier magic" 
"You'll have to tell me more about this gravity magic and perhaps what other magic you know." Her own excitement became apparent as she leaned on the table fully intrigued by what Vi could tell her.
Fay
"I only know basics, but it's something I'm still new to and was hoping to learn from a master or more experienced magic user." Instinctively rubbed the back of his head, chuckling awkwardly. 

"I had access to a library of magic, but with limited time and only one book I could take out, I could only grab a book on gravity. But I managed to conceptually understand the force behind it to keep targets at bay; the book explained how I define it as providing a moment to turn the tables on heartless or any enemy I face. 
I lean against the table, resting my face in my hand. "I'm sorry, that's all I know about it, but I am intrigued to learn more magic and barriers!"
Cynthia
Sapphire nodded as she gain a smug smile on her face as she leaned back pulling out her other book as she opened it pointing her finger at the cake as a small barrier formed around it preventing either from taking a bite out of it. "Barrier magic is essentially one's manifestation of guarding with magic while I seen some dodge or take their weapon or keyblade from what I recently learned about to block incoming attacks I'm able to place a barrier around myself or my target if I wanted to." 

She then lightly tapped on Vi's cup of tea chilling it instantly, "I even know how to use Blizzard and Fire magic not as effectively as Water magic however. But the basics of those were very easy to understand even if it left me almost lighting myself on fire while giving myself near hypothermia."
Fay
I was listening, not watching the cake have a barrier on it; as I went to take another bite and felt the resistance, I looked down to have a surprised, amusing look. "Barrier looks like fun to use! That would be helpful in a pinch to provide a barrier to another person!" 
I explored and played with the barrier, finding different points to jab it with my fork. "So would the elements be easy to learn? For a beginner? That wasn't too acclimated with using magic? And that doesn't sound like fun to both ignite yourself and bring yourself to hypothermia. Was there an experience to mastering them? To achieve more to magic?" I took out a separate journal, jotting down what Sapphire was explaining.
Cynthia
Sapphire place a hand to her chin as she began to think a bit about how mastering the basics went for her as each one went in it's own direction. "Hmm well for starters you'll have to accept failing the first couple of tries before finally getting an understanding of it. Like with fire for starters it started off as sparks before finally becoming a tangible spell for me to use. And then there was blizzard I learned by complete accident while trying to treat my burns but almost froze myself by accident." She gave a light hearted laugh as she watched him poke at the barrier.

"If you like I could try to help you understand the basis of one the spells I know later if you're ever interested." She gave soft smile at him as she began to think more about her other magic abilites. "Barrier magic did confuse me in the beginning I knew I was in danger and was going to come into harms way and next thing I know the barrier made itself around me and next thing I know I'm fighting with a... Hmm I guess you could say friend, and he was throwing himself in front of every attack that was directed at me and I knew I couldn't stand and let himself throw himself like that and next thing I know I tell him to becareful and a barrier formed around him." She joined him in poking at the barrier with a fork which was oddly entertaining.
Fay
"We all have to start somewhere. It's hard to swallow. I messed up when I first learned to brew tea." He nodded with her explanation, continuing to poke at the barrier before stopping to jot down the correlation of experience towards learning magic.

As he took up his fork to poke again. " You don't need to go into anything uncomfortable. It's okay. But it has an emotional connection." I attempted to spin the barrier around as the thought caught my curiosity, "So, there are two connections to magic then? Emotional and experience? Two sides of the same coin?" My attempts to spin the barrier fast with childlike wonder.
Cynthia
Sapphire nodded as she waved off the mention of going into anything that would leave her comfort zone. "In the sake of research I don't mind speaking about my experiences. But yes from what I know magic tends to take on form with emotions as well as experience. Although experience is alot better with casting magic as you can avoid some mishaps." 

She watched as the cake spun rapidly in the barrier which caused a temptation to release the barrier to see it'll fall or fly off somewhere but that intrusive thought stayed where it was as flipped a couple pages in her book. "However there is magic that still eludes me, when I feel the rush of putting my all into an attack I made a flurry of prismatic colors with my magic although it seems I'm only able to use it once as it greatly drains my energy from me, so I have to be careful with using it"
Fay
I intently listened to her words, "I understand, and that makes sense." Seeing the barrier disappear "Was fun as it lasted with the barrier." I chucked, amused with the antics. And I listened to her experience, 

"There's more to learn? Sounds like an adventure waiting to be explored, but I'd assume that magic at a high level comes at a price? Am I understanding that right? I can understand to some extent that rush," I took a deep breath, "I had something similar happen to me, but more so an awakening, and I had to fend off rounds of heartless just managing to survive with a group of keyblade users. M strength was tapped right after that." I let out a breath, tensing up with the explanations.
Cynthia
She nodded as the cake gently landed on the plate as she took her fork and took a bite out of the cake before speaking once more. "The heartless are formidable foes and what makes it worse is that they seem to not hold back even if they are facing defeat." She closed the book as she placed it back in her bag before watching his expressions change. 

"Well I'm glad you were able to survive and I hope the others that were with you made it out as well." She placed the fork down as she began to think some more about other magics and ways to change the topic. "It's okay you don't have to tell me all that you went through if it's to stressful." 

She thought for a bit as she leaned forward. "Tell me more about these teas and coffees I'm interested in what your favorites are that you made."
Margie
*Amidst the business of the day-to-day life of the passerby in Traverse Town. Many in such different situations. From those whose loss of their home was fresh, to those who've long since grown past that and made their home here. Yet despite that, this song rang out for all of them. For the ones in need of a pick me up, and the ones who just want to kill some time. 

A Nobody, though you likely wouldn't think it at first, could be found in his usual spot. Strumming away to play a song that, for all intents and purposes, would be considered background noise for most just walking by. 

The mood of the town was relatively relaxed, at least that's Jalen's understanding of it, and so his music reflected that. Though as usual, he does take requests, but if not he'll just be playing by the steps, and talking with anyone who wishes to do so.*

*After some time has passed, a very hard thing to keep track of here without a clock of some sort, Jalen decides that it's time to move on from here. But not without finishing with a fancy flourish for any onlookers! He requests that he get some space, and upon doing so, he'd amp up the mood just a bit. Enough that he's less background noise, and more on the level of an actual street* Performer. *Taking the time to charge up some magic as he does and continues strumming away, and doing something he remembers really amping others up. He'll begin to do a bit of a skip as he moves around his new area of performing, almost letting the magic of it all nearly sweep him away. Almost, he does have to keep it under control, lest he catch others in the crossfire. With one last hop, he ends up roughly in the center of his little ring, and gives one last powerful strum, unleashing his magic in a small area around him, in the form of small, glowing orbs rising from the ground by him. An excuse to both give the crowd something to remember, and also work on sharpening his skills in case of any attacks. But with that, he would bow for the crowd, before packing his things and moving on.* "Stay safe now!" *With a wave to whatever sort of crowd he gathered, the musician would head out.*
Patrick
With a push of the heavy doors a small woman in strange clothing stood looking proud of herself as she began to make her grand entrance on this new world. She took in the sites that was there for her as she did a twirl with her arms outstretched giggling to herself. 

"A whole new world! Who would've thought that one such as myself could find a ship and leave Agrabah behind!"

Her eyes began to shimmer as she began thinking about all the poor souls she could scam out of their money and places to rob for food. Her biggest mistake was not taking any money with her to buy the items she need so stealing it was.
Diana
*Lirio was sitting on a bench on a bench at one side of the town sqaure reading some documents, one of his investigations had finished and he wa analysing the results, while writing stuff on a book, not noticing the girl at first*

*He then looks up, noticing that someone had just arrived, but not really paying too much attention to it, a tourist, he thought, going back to read those documents*
Patrick
Bingo! Victim number one spotted. With a quick change of expressions she made her way towards the boy giving crocodile tears as she rubbed her face. "Oh how awful, I don't know where I am and what is even going on." She began to sob softly into her hands as a smile crept on her face, as the good ol lost girl trick hardly ever failed her.
Diana
"Uhm... Hello..? *He said as he looked at her, being a bit strabged by her presence, but still keeping a bit his distance*

"Are you ok? Do you need help?"
Patrick
Keeping up with the crying she wiped away the tears as she looked at the boy giving a shaking nod. "D-Do you know where we are? I'm lost and I don't know how to get back. I don't even know if I can get back." 

She was starting to wonder if this act of hers would even work but one must go on with the show.
Diana
"Well... This place is known as traverse town, if my understanding is correct, this is a place between worlds, where people who lost their homeworld goes to, but you can also get here throu other methods... Are you ok? What´s your name?" 

*He said looking at her, thinking about where she may have came from*
Patrick
Having dried her tears and given a weak sniffle she nodded as she went to answer him. "I.. I'm Nafi and I'm not okay I don't remember how I got here."
Diana
"Hm..." *He started thinking about what he could tell her, suspecting she might have lost her homeworld*

"Maybe you can check the townhall? Someone may be able to help you"
Patrick
Drying her face completely she felt she had hit a dud of a person to scam but figured to push more. "Town... Hall? Where's that at? Could you show me the way? I fear I'll get myself lost even more."
Diana
"Oh its just a few streets away from here, i can take you there if you want to" 

*He said giving her a little smile, being a little worried for her*
Patrick
There it was her chance to rob him and make an escape was shortly approching her. 

"Oh thank you very much if only everyone was like you back where I'm from! Please do show the way!" This was turning out to be easier than she had originally thought.
Diana
*He looks at her going a bit, keeping his distance again*

"And what´s your world? What´s the last thing you remember about it?"
Patrick
"Uhm I remember a ship and getting on it. I was exploring it cause I thought I could find something to take home but all of a sudden it started up and I was leaving Agrabah." She mentioned as if she was trying to think real hard about it
Diana
"Agrabah... Never heard about it before... How is it like?"

*He said while he looked around, still keeping a bit his distances, looking for the town hall*
Patrick
"It's beautiful if you're in the right area! But if you're not careful..." She picked Lirio's pocket taking a small amount of his munny quickly showing it off. "You'll find yourself with a scammer who'll get you alone and rob you blind" Thankfully no pesky Olympian was around to chase her down as she did what she did best. Of course she's too prideful and just had to show how quick she was at digging around Lirio's pockets without him noticing. "And if you're really not careful you could find yourself in the middle of the desert. Happened to me a few times"
Diana
"... Meh, you can take it, it wasnt much anyway, you may need it more than me, after all you are the one who´s new in this place" 

*He said as he looked at here with an "I dont really care" Expression on his face, he leaved his wallet at home so, he just had a small ammount if he wanted to buy a snack or something, he was more focussed on his research*
Patrick
Nafi gave a soft sigh to herself as she placed the munny away. She had hit a dud after all but still got something to show for it. "Man Nilus was more entertaining to tease. Oh well you are a child after all so actually here."

She took the munny back out and tossed it to him. She is one to steal but not from a minor. She began to continue the walk with him regardless as she could still use a guide to understand the lay of the lands. 

"So how long have you been here? From what you said this is a world that people end up to when they lose their homes."
Diana
*He looked at her again, being a bit less cautious now*

"Honestly im not trully sure, ive been here since when i can remember... I know im not from here, but im not sure where im from eather... My little sister is 100% from here tho"

*He said smilling softly*

"Being honest i dont really mind the fact that i dont know where im trully from... Ive lived here pretty much always, ive grown up here, and my job is here so... What else can i ask for?"
Patrick
Nafi placed her hands behind her back as she walked, steps light as a feather as she thought. 

"Might as well say you're from here then, Just because you weren't born here doesn't mean you aren't from here. But I don't know, I still got Agrabah back waiting for me if I ever decide to go back, but who knows about that ever happening" 

Just then something caught her eye it was a yellow dress that was being displayed. Using the reflection in the mirror she mimicked the pose the mannequin was doing to give a look at what it would look like on her.
Diana
*He leaves her there for just a brief moment to then return to her side*

"I am not a fashionist and i really know nothing about fashion, but i think that dress would look good on you"

*He said calmly, giving her a little smile, with his hands on his back*

"Thanks for not stealing my money btw, i actually used it on something better"
Patrick
"Well you're welcome, if anything I'm used to stealing for others and often stealing food for myself and other children when I was younger." She gave a shrug as she turned away from the dress starting the walk again. 

"Well at least you found something to spend money I'll probably come back for the dress at a later point to either buy or steal it."
Diana
"Speaking of food, here!"

*He gave her an ice cream he´d just bought, he had one for each of them*

"Its better to wander around a place after you ate something, thats why i bringed some munny with me in the first place"
Patrick
Taking the frozen treat in hand she was a bit confused by it. A frozen treat was not something she ever had while living in Agrabah. "Aren't you worried about it melting?" 

After asking she took a bite into it immediately getting chills down her back from it
Diana
"Yeah, thats why you have to eat it, but be carefull, your brain may freeze if you eat it too quickly"

*He said smilling back, taking a bite of his own ice cream*
Patrick
Nafi held her head as he she softly pounded a fist against it already suffering from a brain freeze. "Yeah I kinda figured from having one just now." 

It felt as if she had gained the worst migraine of her life and wanted to bash her head as a form of relief but it quickly faded away.
Diana
"Okay.. Breathe carefully and just hold on, it'll leave in just a minute... Next time dont eat the ice cream that fast, or such a big bite at once, or it may happen again.."

*He said still being worried about her, suspecting that this was her first time eating ice cream*
Anna
Xanaro exits through the alleyway, leading into the town square. As he moves, his eyes are drawn to one of the empty benches. He cant quite see why- Theres nobody sitting on it, and nothing of note to be found. He simply turns away from it, walking a few of the stairs and approaching the first building he sees. The building happens to be the  , as he steps closer to the door. If nothing interupts, He will enter.
Heather
*Sapphire pulls Dado out of a Dark Corridor and into First District. The corridor closes behind them, darkness trailing loosely off of them.*

*In any other world, such an occurrence may have been noteworthy. In Traverse Town, however, it's mundane. No one bothers to question the bluenette and pale swordsman stumbling into the Town Square.*
Lillian
*Dado shakes Sapphire off of his hand, then looks around. Traverse sweet Traverse. It's good to be back.*

*Suddenly, his eyes widen. He looks at Sapphire, makes an urgent shushing motion, then regrabs her hand and drags her off in a random direction. Where to go, where to go... Ah. An alley he's never bothered with before. He ducks into the alley with her.*
Cynthia
Sapphire let out a sigh of relief upon seeing the neverending night sky of traverse town. Before she can say anything about where they should stop she felt herself get pulled into the nearby alley. 

In a low hushed voice she spoke to Dado. "What? What is it?" She looked out the alley to see what had forced them to hide.
Lillian
*Dado has the same "Cornered animal" Expression on his face as when they first met. His eyes peer out of the alleyway anxiously.*

"Either the darkness has made me start hallucinating or some fuck shit's going on. I just saw- just, here." *Munny swirls of his palm and into Sapphire.*

"Find a Moogle, buy me a black coat, bring it back here. Don't mention me to anyone. Under *Any* Circumstances."
Cynthia
Sapphire blinked as she slowly took the money clearly confused but stopped before grabbing it. 

"Why what's going on?" She ends up pocketing the money as she wondered if the item shop had moogles she could buy from.
Lillian
*He still feels his presence. Clear as day, unmistakable. Impossible, yet existent nonetheless.*

"I have no fucking clue, but I intend to find out."

*Dado steps back and leans against the wall, shaking. Whatever he saw, it's clearly spooked him.*
Cynthia
Sapphire nodded walking over to him placing a hand on his shoulder. He reminded her of a child that got scared of shadows. 

"Hey, hey it's going to be okay,.. Just sit tight and wait for me." She let go of him and walked off to go buy him a black coat and possibly something to wrap her dark stained arm.
Lillian
*Dado sits tight, waiting patiently for Sapphire to return.*
Heather
*After leaving the remote alley and heading towards the item shop, Sapphire spies a young man standing near it on a Gummiphone, practically oozing with light. While this itself wouldn't normally be noteworthy, his appearance is.*

*He wears glasses and has a leather bomber jacket shielding him from the cool Traverse Town air. Aside from those two differences, however... He looks exactly like Dado. His build, his hair, his stance... Everything about him tells the same story.*

*He doesn't look up from his phone, clearly busy with something.*
Cynthia
Sapphire stopped in her tracks and stared at him for a good while, he was a carbon copy of the one she was with earlier. The stench of light coming off him made her scoff as she began to walk away. Everything inside was telling her to attack, that it wouldn't be hard to defeat him if he was the same as the Dado she was with. Was it a twin brother of his that he didn't have a chance to bring up? No because he was shaking like a leaf. She thought to herself.

Darkness began to trail off her like smoke, the darkness began to slowly form into an arrow. If she wasn't conscious and fighting herself to not attack she would have let the arrow go at him but instead waved it off as she began to pick up speed. The longer she was around those with a strong sense of light the more she felt like she was losing herself. Why she has such an adverse reaction to light she didn't know. 

"Okay black coat and bandages... Black and bandages." She began to repeat those words to herself to keep her distracted finally making enough distance between her and that *Thing* Of light.
Michael
*A minimap appears in the top-right corner of Dado's vision, accompanied by a pulsating red dot on it.*
Verna
*Dado quickly slips his Gummiphone into his pocket and materializes Kingdom Key, looking around before his eyes settle on Sapphire. He locks eyes with her, sees the dark arrow, and brandishes his Keyblade.*

*A crystalline projectile flies through the air, erupting into a barrier around the dark arrow and encasing it.*

*Townspeople see the quick burst of magic between the two, then begin backing away. Some pull out their Gummiphones and start recording.*
Michael
*"A battle here would risk too much collateral damage. De-escalate or relocate."*
Verna
*Dado nods, then addresses Sapphire directly.*

"Are you with Maleficent, Pira, or Organization XIII?"
Cynthia
Sapphire turned, her golden eyes facing him as she summoned the keyblade of hearts in hand. The stench of his light was too much more darkness began to form around her as she gripped her head trying to fight back from it's control. "I am the princess of Darkness. You're filth sickens me the light you hold... Is what brought me on my mission into the Realm of Darkness" She took notice of the kingdom key the drawing flashing into her mind once more. 

She knew that fighting him would lead to terrible things but honestly her and her darkness could care less. "The light has ruled long enough for it to grow into a plague! " [In a flash she rushed at Daydo]( corrupted hand becoming a claw of darkness several phantoms joining in. 
Having rushed at him she snapped her fingers as two orbs of darkness formed around behind her. She pointed her hand forward at him lasers being sent his way. Water began to form around her but it was wrong the direction it was going was towards her. She raised her keyblade in the air as she swung the water heading his way threatening to bring him in closer to her.

*Sapphire's Keyblade spoke to her directly again.*

**"Kill the chosen light!"**
Verna
"Oh, for fuck's sa-" *Dado's sent flying back by the clawed bitchslap. And now he's dealing with this random lunatic. He just can't catch a break.*

*The dark lasers pierce his core, sending shudders through him. That feels worse than usual.*

*As the water slams into him, he notes its current trying to pull him inwards. Hell no. He needs to get this fight out of First District.*

*The water begins cleanly moving through Dado as though it's not touching him... Until he disappears in a shower of sparks. He's not there!*

*As the water clears, Sapphire sees another afterimage above everyone's heads pointed and towards the doors to  She then sees the doors pushed slightly open.*

Lillian
*Fuck. Sapphire's in danger.*

*Dado has no idea how he knows this fact. He just does. Based on the tug in his Heart, it seems like she and his impersonator are fighting a stupidly powerful darkness in Third District.*

*Why the fuck did she get sidetracked? She had one job! Go buy a fucking Black Coat off a Moogle. Fuck's sake.*

*He takes a deep breath, stands up, and begins pacing within the remote alleyway. No room to express nervousness. Walk with purpose in straight lines. Brisk pace. If anyone asks any questions, he's shopping. If anyone familiar pops up... Hope they haven't met his impersonator yet, then explain the situation.*

*He exits the alleyway and begins making his way to the closest non-Item Shop-affiliated Moogle.*
Billy
Ah, the brooding of youth. Hoho, yes, Dado is about that age, isn't he? With that soured, surly look knitting his brow. Whatever could it be, this time?

"Ah, young Daedalus! We have been wondering of you." A lilting, dreamily-intoned voice chimes as a hulking figure of shining armor clinks and clanks at a jogging pace to match Dado's power walk, coming round to join him side-by-side. The Hound's smile rests light on his face as they address the boy, their bemusement clearly evident, "Are we to assume that it is time, and we are needed at this Tower you mentioned, however long ago? Hm...?"

Cavall keeps march, that cheery expression never leaving his face even as they give Dado their full attention.
Lillian
*Ah, shit. Wait... Dog-knight, tanked three Doom casts, where's his name... Ah!*

"Cavall." *It seems like the good man either hasn't met his impersonator, or is playing a front to glean information from him.*

"Yeah, I... Not yet, I don't think." *How to break the news?*

*Sapphire insists that light folk seek to destroy darkness. What if she's right? Fiora was definitely on that fuck shit. Would any of his allies accept him as he is? And what if that impersonator isn't... What if he's...*

*He pushes away the thought. Fuck it. Full transparency. This'll be a test. If he can trust his allies, maybe it won't matter. In fact, he, Ika, and Master Mod all wanted to find a cure to Xion's condition! If __she__ had just been honest, then...*

"My 'friend' and I got into a fight. She was locking away darkness in kids, rendering them comatose. I tried to stop her. She did the same to my body. I'm not entirely sure, but... I think my consciousness, or Heart, or whatever somehow escaped. Except now, I'm, uhh..."

*He takes a deep breath.* "It seems like I'm temporarily made of darkness. At least, until I can get my body back. I don't think I can fight Pira in this state. I definitely can't seal the Door to Darkness like this; I can't call forth my Keyblade."

"To top it off, I've apparently got an impersonator running around. And another one of my friends is in danger. So I gotta buy a Black Coat, save my friend, figure out what's going on with my lookalike, clear my name of whatever the hell he's done in the meantime, go find the 'friend' who did this do me, make her fix it, and *Then* I can fight Pira."

*The sour expression maintains its intensity, but desperation shines through his golden eyes.*
Billy
"Your heart was broken by a girl? That's rough, buddy." Is all Cavall says, in the most offhanded tone. He keeps pace without breaking that serene smile, and tacks on, "While we are always open to give advice on the matter, have you given thought toward calling your friends to let them know you're awake?"
Lillian
*Dado chuckles at Cavall's remark. That's certainly one way of putting it.*

"That's where the impersonator comes in." *He puts his hands up.* "I escaped the Realm of Darkness, and the first thing I saw was him on *My* Phone. I assume he's taken the rest of my shit, too. And..."

*Hmm. Cavall has actually taken this well. Maybe he hasn't hit all of his allies. Maybe he can just reach out?*

*He sighs as they reach the Moogle.* "Fuck it. I'll give it a shot."

"I need five Hi-Potions, five Hi-Ethers, five AP Recovery Plus, three Elixirs, a Kupo Coin, a Black Coat just in case shit goes south, and a Gummiphone." 

*Munny flows out of the palm of his hand, spiraling towards the Moogle, who picks up the items from under its desk and sets them on it.*

"Thanks, Cavall." *He begins putting on the Black Coat.* "Hopefully I'm overthinking this."
Billy
"Over-thinking? Potentially. Possibly. Most likely." Cavall nods his head before humming a note, "But we would not recommend writing this other Daedalus off as merely an impersonator, either."

"Nor do we think him to be an adversary— Unless you hated yourself even before trauma split your heart in twain, of course!" Cavall laughs the idea away. Surely not.
Lillian
*At this, Dado frowns. Okay, time to acknowledge the possibility: he might be the Inaxuma.*

*He's thought through clone thought experiments before. He's pretty sure he'd be willing to recombine, but... What if the clone was made of darkness? What if combining meant no longer being free of darkness?*

*Cavall's joke rings far too true. He definitely had issues before waking up as a creature of darkness. Would his other him even accept him...?*

"Yeah..." *Dado puts his hood up, then continues to hope he's an imposter.*

"Well, adversary or not, I'm pretty sure the other me is fighting alongside my friend against some powerful darkness. Wanna come with?"
Billy
The Hound remains silent, giving this Daedalus however long he needs to process the information. They take the young man's sudden discomfort at their joke for exactly what it says on the tin; A concern, to be sure. Still, they would make no comment on it unless the boy himself chooses to turn to them for enlightenment.

"We go wherever we are needed." Is what Cavall says instead, keeping pace with the boy.
Angela
Ranoa steps out of the ship into the district of a once warm and friendly world, now corrupted by a dark chill. He cant see any heartless yet, but that will likely change.

"Eugh. This place isnt as nice as i remember."

Obviously.
Diana
"Definitely not as good as i remember it eather... Do you think we can find a clue about ikazuchi and suzuka here? Ika did not seemed to be from this world at all..."

*He said to then pay attention to his surroundings, no one knows what dangers could be waiting here*
Vickey
```The ship blasts back into orbit the moment the two step out, as if running away.```
Angela
"I dont know. But suzuka lives here, im pretty sure. Maybe we can find her?"
Diana
"I dont have a good feeling about that eather, something about this whole thing seems... Off"

*He had never heard of a suzuka on all his years living here, and the fact that him, a massive armor and a ghost appeared out of nowhere hours before the portals seems to coincidential to be unrelated, but so far he has no evidence to confirm or deny this suspicions so, better just to look for said evidence*

"Where do we go first?"
Angela
He shrugs, looking around at the various buildings, stores, and the big door near them.

"Which place has the most housing? We could start there."
Diana
"Hm... Id say this district has the most housing, i live near this place to begin with, tho there's a hotel on the second district too"

*He said to ranoa, thinking of what other places could she be living on too*
