*Dado's Gummi Ship, piloted by Ika (and auto-pilot), arrives at the Mysterious Tower. He opens his eyes and hits a button on his Gummiphone. The helm opens up, exposing them to the cool air surrounding the tower.*

*He looks at Ika and Eve, then wordlessly climbs out and jumps to the ground. Such a jump would have been unthinkable to him before all this. Such violence would have been unthinkable to him before all this.*

*His eyes glazed over, he enters the tower and walks up the steps, ignoring all else. The internal maze has changed its pattern. The dancing lights still guide him upwards.*

*Back when he was fighting...*

*Back when he was talking to...*

*His mind refuses to continue, instead jumping forwards in a discontinuity. Master Mod was mentioned as having known __she__ betrayed them. He intended to confront her angrily. Now though, he can't summon forth the strength.*

*As always, he just has questions. So many questions, nearly all of them accusatory. The first and most important, though: is it even true?*

*Each step is heavy. Each turn is disconcerting. The lights are blurry. He has to continue.*
Lurlene
Ah, but they weren't the only ones climbing the tower. The signs were all there; Another Gummyship was parked outside, doors locked and windows tinted, but vacant.

Far higher up on the way, or perhaps not that at all, a knocking sound could be heard as Icidro waits by the door. He'd had a bit of a head start, having left earlier than the party that had stayed in Agrabah for a time longer!

A weak smile hangs on Icidro's face as he regards his own company, "Best to be polite, eh, amigos?"
Helen
*After a trip that felt like it took forever, Ikazuchi stood in the gummi ship. They looked like they wanted to say something to Dado before he exited, but didn't. Instead, they looked at Eve and spoke.*

"Listen, Master Mod wasn't expecting you to be here for this so... Try not to make a scene. I'm sure there are a few choice things she will say about my trust in others during the meeting today. Just... Keep the vulgarity to a minimum? Please?"

*And with that, they would begin to depart the ship and follow Dado up the stairs, keeping a respectable distance from their pal, not wanting to intrude on his thoughts and woes... Everything would be laid out on the table soon enough.*
Dale
"Christ on a stick, ya soulless ginger bastard, ah kno 'owta ahct wit othor'ties. Aht leas Aerit' and Barre' tot meh dat mooch." *Eve grumbles in a heavily Gaelic accented manner as she follows behind him. Seriously. Is that just her natural voice or does she just do it because she can? Somehow even Tifa hasn't figured that out in a few years*
Elizabeth
🎶 *Here comes Santa Clause! Here comes Santa Clause!* 🎶 *Oh wait. It's not Christmas yet. And then come the ZUNpets blasting out Love Colored Master Spark as Xion comes flying out of a Keyblade portal... In just normal clothing. Not like there's anything there to corrupt and she decided to do it for shiggles. Noticing Ika in his crazy anti Darkness lady form, Xion decides to do what she does best. Bug her? Him? She flies up next to Ika, casually floating on a broom and boops them in the cheek* "So crazy lady. Still wanna 'destroy all darkness' or whatever?" *This... Might be her usual craziness in play but it could also very easily be enhanced by her slowly dwindling sanity*
Robert
*Dado's eyes focus for a moment as he hears Xion's shenanigans a few yards behind him. They settle on Icidro in front of Mod's door. He nods at Brad and the blonde one, then takes a deep breath.*

"Hi. Sorry we never had time for a proper introduction. I'm Dado. Do you prefer 'Sir' or 'Señor' as a title?"

*He holds out his hand, offering a handshake and forcing a smile. His eyes, however, don't follow through. Their edges refuse to crinkle, and they retain a somber air to them.*
Helen
"Hello, Xion. Fortunately... I'm in full control this time. Mainly keeping myself alive with the mana pool that accompanies this form."

*They sighed and continued up the stairs, seeing Dado stop to talk to one of the three they saw back at Agrabah.*

"Oh? Hello. I wasn't expecting to see you so soon."

*Ikazuchi said this, of course, not realizing he didn't look like what he did back on Agrabah when he first saw the Storm Riders.*
Lurlene
A strange look flashes across Icidro's face, and the knight turns to face the stairwell at the sound of people fast approaching.

"Oh, it's you lot." Sounding just as unsurprised as he was intrigued by the entire situation, Icidro regards the group coming up from behind. Eve gets passed over entirely as Icidro regards Ikazuchi, and then Dado.

Taking Dado's hand, Icidro gives him a polite, if firm, shake; A smile rests on Icidro's face more out of courtesy, this time, as the exhaustion settles in his eyes.

"Icidro Arturo e Mondragon. Formally, as a caballero, it would be 'Sir'."

Turning his attention to the red-haired person, Icidro cants his head, "You weren't expecting us so soon? The letters we received called for our arrival as soon as possible. You are not Mod-Gnik, then, I take it?"
Robert
*Dado sees Sir Icidro's exhaustion up close, and drops the poor facade. He may be his formal superior, but they're both exhausted. He leaves the handshake, and his shoulders go back to their prior slumped state.*

"Sorry." *He apologizes for... No reason in particular. It just comes out.*
Elizabeth
*Upon hearing Ika's in control, Xion pouts a little* "Awww all work and no play~ Oh well maybe next time~ Also what happened to you? I know what happened to him." *She points at Dado who she quickly floats up to* "Also why are you alive? I saw you get Obito'd before I left the cave." *Well that's one way to put it-*
Dale
*Eve gives a small snort at the reference. She got it but wasn't exactly sure what the actual hell that meant considering Dado was alive and NOT buried under a rock*
Helen
*Ikazuchi looked down and realized that, they were in fact still changed.*

"Right. Sorry, I'm Ikazuchi, the same one as before from the cave and all that at agrabah. Its nice to formally meet you, Sir Mondragon. Master Mod is beyond these doors."

*Ika walked up to the door and put a hand on it.*

"As for my appearance, well... This form is kinda sustaining me from all the damage I took because of the fight I got in. I'm pretty sure I died and came back to life... Sorta, but I won't get into too much of the details until we're all together so I don't have to re-explain anything to everyone else."

*Ika gently pushed the door open and held it open for the rest.*

"Please, enter. Master should be here shortly. It's nice to see all of you again, though, I don't believe I caught your names either."
Brandon
Furo and Brad were already there. The lad seated by Icidro's legs, but he did not think himself *That* Small. And Brad... He was sure was around unless he walked off in the last few minutes.

For the most part he stayed quiet as he watched the arrival of the others. Though the non-plussed expression he started with definitely did not appear to be changing anytime soon it seemed.
Robert
*Dado glances at Xion, then speaks somewhat listlessly.* "Keyblade brought me back from the brink. I... Fuck it. I glitched up through the floor and got help. Sealed the keyhole, too." *He omits the details about what happened after. They'll get to that.*

*He pulls up a 'New Contact' screen and hands Xion his Gummiphone, then enters the room. He knows how out of pocket she can get, so he has no intention of actually adding her to the group chat.*

*He turns his gaze to the spot where Master Mod always sits, and dread fills him.*
Lurlene
Icidro doesn't fight or argue as Ika opens the door that Icidro had been standing in front of, even stepping out of the way to regard them. A strange look does cross Icidro's face at the odd question, however; A quick glance to Furo and Brad later, and Icidro shrugs their way. 

If they wanted to introduce themselves, they'd do so on their own terms.

"Looks like that's our cue, amigos." Icidro murmurs before following the others in.
Brandon
Furo did not move immediately. He waited by the side of the door as he regarded who all seemed to be a part of things.

All of whom he saw in Agrabah except the red-head. He vaguely remember someone similar appearing right before they felt they should leave that disastrous scene, yet he was sure he had not seen *Her* Similar clothing maybe, but a different build.

Whatever.

He planned to be the last to enter and so he waited for the others to filter in. The mechanic was here to support his friends, so he wanted to be as attentive as possible. He had to idly wonder if those other three were going to be making an appearance as well.

If not, he was not upset about it. Doubly so since his group of three removed themselves from such a volatile situation. All he hoped is that they did not have a target on their back just from being here.
Elizabeth
*Xion punches in her contact info and hands his phone back to him* "Try not to get killed like that again if you can control it. Pretty sure we actually kinda sorta need you to make things work and I don't know what would happen without your Keyblade. I'd give you an actually emotional reason but unfortunately I haven't actually had real emotions since we met. I'll give you a real reason when I'm back to normal, kay?"
Dale
*Eve sorta just walks beside Ika, dead silent despite wearing an entire bracelet filled with tiny gemstones that should be clinking and clattering with every movement. Must be some of Yuffie's ninjandit skills. No other explanation. Not like anyone else could do stealth in that group competently. Except maybe Vincent. He's pretty good at somehow appearing out of nowhere silently but she could never figure him out...*
Robert
*Dado nods at Xion's words. For someone without emotions, she's particularly compassionate. Ever so slightly, he appreciates it.*
