Thomas
The door to the main study bursts open violently, Ranoa being at the front of the pair. He seems out of breath from climbing all the stairs, his eyes rapidly darting around the room in search of otoka. If he's available, it probably wouldnt take too long to spot him.
Laura
*He finally finishes climbing up the stairs taking a moment to take his breath*

"Alright... What's going on now..?"
Douglas
*Otoka was writing on something while sitting behind Mod's desk. At the sudden door slam, he looked up from his work and raised an eyebrow.*

"Young Ranoa, slow your pace. You act as if the tower is on fire, lad."
Thomas
He stammers, the breath caught in his throat- before finally shouting loud enough to wake the birds outside.

"Ikazuchi is *Alive!*" He seems to be wearing a mix of excitement and confusion on his face, as though hard to believe it himself, especially after hearing conflicting reports of his death from others. Maybe they were all wrong?

It takes a few moments of heavy breathing, before further elaboration, which ends up sounding like rambling.

"In twilight town! Before the battle, I met a purple haired girl- she was looking for him- so i helped her search, and we met this big guy in spiky armor-" A deep breath,

"We couldnt find him, right? But then lirio- he actually *Met* Ika! I would have said something earlier but with everything going on i almost forgot, and, and i just found out lirio saw him and i-" He runs out of breath yet again, failing to collect himself with a few dry coughs as he turns to look at lirio. The stairs really arent the best way to get around.
Laura
"Ikazuchi..? So that's his name..? Hm..."

*He says to then think for a moment*

"I saw him in twillight town hours before the portals opened, i dont know if he's important for this or not but i got some sad news then, cause he had a severe case of amnesia"
Douglas
"Lad, slow down before you cause yourself to pass out—"

*Otoka's brow furrowed while Ranoa spoke and explained at such a rate.*

"It's not that I don't believe you, but are you sure? The only reason why Master Aria was able to be here today is because Ikazuchi sacrificed his body and heart to release hers. Although..."

*Having one of the guardians back, regardless of circumstance, would likely raise team morale. Especially if it was Ikazuchi.*

"Alright. We need to think of a plan before we just run out into the worlds. It's very dangerous out there. Do you have any more leads as to where he could have gone? This time, slow down; catch your breath before you answer."
Laura
"I have no clue... Last thing i saw was a big armor take him by the force and dissapear with him, no idea where they could have gone..." 

*He said to then look at ranoa, he saw the friend ika was talking about, maybe he knows something else*
Thomas
He sighs as lirio speaks, giving himself a moment to catch his own breath at the advice of otoka, stumbling in place a little before gathering himself. He looks back to otoka, nodding.

"I'm sure i never caught her name, but the girl i met claimed to have been friends with him for a while- and said that she's been living in traverse town ever since their world fell.. What, several years ago? I think thats what she said."

He continues, his eyes drifting upwards as he tries to recall a lead.

"We could look for her there, i think. Its where she wanted me to escort her when we couldnt find ika."

He opens a palm, tapping a fist on it before continuing.

"She also knew about an important mission- im guessing the fight against pira. But she didnt say the name of who told her about it."
Douglas
"And you are sure this could actually be Ikazuchi? Young Dado seems to think Inaxuma has him. His heart, at least... Actually now that I think about it, this *Could* Be Ikazuchi's nobody... It would be wise to look into this matter as soon as possible, especially before the Organization tries to recruit him, or worse."

*Otoka nodded and stood up from his desk.*

"Alright then. I believe this will serve nicely. We are in need of Guardians of Light. And as per your results from fighting Pira; you may have failed to shut the door, but you defeated a great darkness. The two of you, go to Traverse and investigate the matter. This will be your first trial to see if you have what it takes to become a true guardian. Make sure you come back here safely."
Thomas
He nods, glancing over to lirio and then back to otoka. It shouldnt be too hard to investigate- The real challenge would be dealing with any potential heartless.

"If we find ikazuchi, or his.. Nobody, ill try to convince him to come back with us. Lirio said he seems to have amnesia, so it might be a bit challenging."

He then turns his head to look at lirio, speaking once more.

"Do you know how to use a glider? Because i can call my ship if not."
Laura
"Ive never used one of those before not gonna lie, so i guess the ship will work, thanks..."

*He said to then turn around to leave the room, but before that he remembers something*

"Oh wait, another thing, ikazuchi did told me the name of the girl ranoa mentioned, it was... Suzuka if i remember correctly, i dont know if that's important"
Thomas
"Suzuka. Got it." He looks over to otoka, about to follow lirio in his way to leave.

"Before we go, does that name ring a bell at all?"
Douglas
*Otoka shook his head.*

"First I'm hearing of it. Be careful, we won't be certain who out there is friend or foe now that darkness has seeped into every nook and cranny it can manage. Keep your wits about you, and make sure you keep your emotions in check. The darkness could easily manipulate you if you don't."
Thomas
He listens intently, nodding at the end of the response. Keeping his emotions in check, huh..?

Might be a little difficult, but still possible. Hopefully.

"Got it. Thank you, Master Otoka. We'll be back."

And with that, he turns to leave through the door with a quick gait. On the way down the stairs he reaches into a pocket and grabs his gummi phone, tapping it until the ship has set a course to the tower. It's been casually lounging in space for a while due to the preference of the glider.
Laura
"Thank you master otoka, we'll be back soon"

*He said to leave the room with ranoa*
