*Roxie opts instead to drop her hammer, lean down, grab Yumi's other arm, and drape it around her shoulder.*

"Upsy-daisy." *She begins walking towards the Mansion's front doors, hopefully dragging Yumi and Oban along with her.*

*A scale far grander than a single world... It'd explain why everything feels more like the Realm of Darkness. Maybe its borders grew, and they're now on the edge of it? That would imply that some worlds might be safe, though...*

"We're gonna be fine. We'll figure out what's going on. If we gotta, we'll carve out a safe spot in the darkness." *Roxie speaks confidently, hoping to boost Yumi's spirits.*
William
*Yumi would not put up any resistance, being on her own head. She didn't even pay attention to what they were saying. Instead, only one voice was in her head, at this time.*

{"Still afraid of the dark... I knew you couldn't do it..."}
Gilbert
***Alert! Proud mode has been initiated!***
Timothy
A voice echo's throughout the room soon after the group make it into the building proper.

"Carve out a safe spot in the darkness, you say?"
Ruth
A figure wearing a black coat warps into view atop the second floor, standing on the middle of the railing- looking down at the group. They seem focused on irapx in particular.

Upon actually looking at the coated individual, he could be seen to be slim, and happens to stand around 5'5. And to Oban, the voice that rings out is a familiar one.

"Strange, to see this building inhabited. And such a show of raw power, too. I assume that you are the cause of our missing soldiers?"

The hooded figure tilts his head to look at irapx.
Helen
"Aye! We can dae it!" 

Oban would say in agreement to Roxie, trying to cheer up Yumi as best as she could. She stopped once she entered the mansion, hearing a familliar voice catch her off guard. 

"Ye are here too? What a surprise, how have ye been??"
Frances
Once everyone was inside, Irapx would snap his fingers and both the doors and the gate itself would close and lock. He'd the sheathe his katana before taking a Iaido stance, immediately picking up on the cloaked figure's appearance and taking a step to be in-between him and the girls. 

"Yes I am... Though I assume *Your* Group didn't do something so heartless as to doom the world to take out little old me..." 

His eyes narrowed as he was ready to draw should the need arose. 

"So, what is your purpose of coming into the Lion's Den willingly? It has to be more than just a death wish."
Ruth
His head immediately turns to look at the pirate, his eyes wincing underneath the coat. She's here. This complicates things.

"...Oban."

His speech holds a shocking amount of expression, confusing even himself at the small outburst of it. It makes no sense. He raises a clenched fist and stares at it for a moment. Strange, but it's of no consequence as he relaxes his arm once more.

"Dooming a world to the heartless is something my family would never do. It is both immoral and counter-productive to our goals."

Strange, for a a member of the organization to have morals. But, he seems to have his own code after interacting with so many people.

"I have not come with the intention to engage you. Not this time."

He continues, outstretching a hand in the direction of his fellow nobody.

"Due to the ongoing calamity consuming the worlds, i believe that we can come to a mutually beneficial agreement. None of us wish for the worlds to fall."

He's yet to particularly notice the other two girls- Acknowledging their presence, but not nearly caring enough to look at them directly.
Jessie
*Roxie turns and stares at the old man and the newcomer as soon as she enters the mansion alongside her friends. Based on the way the two are talking, he's a Nobody.*

*His voice is dull, as though bored... Save for when he acknowledges Oban. Ooooh~, someone else has a crush~.*

*But wait. He's a psychological zombie. Is he...? Is he faking a crush to manipulate her friend? No! Not allowed!*

*Again, that's assuming the old man was telling the truth about Nobodies to begin with. She's gonna watch what comes next carefully. If she learns more about what she's getting paid for, maybe she can ask for mo-*

***SLAM.** Roxie jumps back as the doors close and lock in front of her, startled, then puts on a pouting face.*

"Rude!" *She tries the doorknob, then turns back to her friends.*

"Be right back!" 

*Roxie disappears from within the Mansion, appearing directly outside its doors, and space begins constricting around Xanaro. He'll find that, if he tries moving, he travels a shorter distance with the same speed than usual. Yet time, paradoxically, appears to be flowing normally.* 

*She begins running towards Irapx, warps past him, and winds up for a very clearly telegraphed running gut-punch towards Xanaro...*

*Only to spontaneously teleport above him at the last second! Her thumb, extended, is aimed to latch onto and pull down his hood, while her fist is aimed to harmlessly miss his head.*

```
Space Manipulation! Xanaro -15% Speed!
Redirect! Xanaro's next action -15%!

Dark Teleport: Non-damaging. If it connects, Xanaro will be unhooded! ```
Ruth
Xanaro's eyes immediately lock onto roxie. Unsuprising that she would make a move while he's talking.

He raises a hand as though to block her- before she redirects herself into grabbing his hood. 

"That is all?" He remarks just as she gets ahold of the hood.

That's fine. All she had to do was ask. Its of no importance whether or not his face is seen.

"You act as though i care if you see my face."
Crystal
And with that, the hood is pulled down. What roxie see's is a boy with pale white hair, and a dull expression. The term psychological zombie would fit pretty well based on this.

"Once more, i am not here to fight. If i were, it would be well known."
William
*Yumi wouldn't be paying attention, seemingly zoned out and unfocused. She just stared, expressionless.*
