Compared to how long that he had to wait in line at the cafe, waiting for a bus to show up was much easier in comparison. The bus ran on a set schedule at least, so as long as nothing wrong wrong, then it should arrive without too much waiting for it. Well depends on when you arrived at the bus stop. Fortunately Ken had arrived about 5 minutes before the bus was due to arrive. Plus he still had some of his drink that he ordered at the cafe, so he was good in that regard. Once the five minutes had expired, the bus had arrived right on schedule. Once it had come to a complete stop, the doors opened and anyone who either wanted to get on or off the bus was allowed to do so. Ken was part of the boarding group and upon getting into the bus, he dug into his pockets for the appropriate amount of money to cover for the ride, to a from. In other words he got an all day pass just so he wouldn't have to by another pass when his business was finished. After paying for said pass, he was able to find an empty seat with relative ease. It was a window seat so that he could rest his elbow on the glass as well as his head on his hand as the bus left the station and begun its route.
"Well I can't really promise that, but what I can promise is that you'll have someone to help you should you need it. Don't let a few bad incidents cause you to rethink your decisions." After Leo had said his piece, the reason behind Gexln knowing Silvia was revealed. From Leo's standpoint it was unexpected that he'd just happened upon her when she was in danger, but things do tend to happen like that. Then Silvia had asked if Leo was there four years ago, which would require him to do some thinking. "Hmm, four years ago huh. Well it's possible that I was." Leo started, putting his camera down and looking at his hands as he started to recall what he was doing four years ago. He'd be traveling on his own for two years prior, an impressive feat given his age at the time, and had stumble upon a town. The more he thought about it, the more clearer his memories became. The town being attacked, his small amount of attacking, briefly seeing Silva and lastly as well as most importantly, his running away. Despite it being four years since then and how he didn't clearly remember majority of things, just bits and pieces. What was clearer in his head was that he'd ran away. "I was, but I didn't really do much to help, well you anyway. Even though I briefly saw you in potential danger, I just ran away." Leo answered with remorse filled words. He even remember why he'd run away, but he didn't want to thin about it anymore than he was now. "I guess this is the part where I apologize for ditching you."
Leo was glad that Silvia had liked the picture that he'd showed her. It meant that his plan was working to a sense. He continued to flip through some of the pictures when Silvia had asked whether or not it things got easier as an S-Class. "Well, sometimes it does. Though there's no guarantee that everything will stay easy all the time." Leo hoped that that would answer her question. Upon hearing some of the things that she'd been through during her time at the guild, Leo had various, subtle reactions. A look of understanding when she said that one of the guild members had died. A slightly confused expression when hearing about the girl who'd attacked the guild joining them, a surprised expression at the mentions of fairies and finally. She'd whispered out what Leo could assume was what she wanted to get out of her head. "Oh well. You've clearly been through a lot despite being new." While there was a faint blush that had arose on his face after she'd mentioned the lesbian intercourse, he still kept up his composure so that he could at least try to help her. By this point Skadi had already gone off towards the bar thus leaving the two. "The only thing I can say right now is that not everything will be as painful or well unexpected as what you've been through. Things will get better with time." A familiar voice could be heard approaching them and with a quick look in the direction said voice was heard, Leo found that it was a drunk Gexln heading towards them. He'd also called out Silvia by name. "So how do you know her Gexln?" Leo questioned. Silvia had given him a look asking for help and thus he would do his best to do so.
Silvia seemed to be on board with his plan so Leo started to flipped through some of the pictures stored on his camera. Normally he would've started off with the most recent one that he'd taken, this case being the Vulcans, but he didn't want to accidentally scare her or get some other image stuck in her head that she didn't want. So that was out of the question. So for this case he would go with something a little more soothing. While he was in the mist of doing thing, she'd introduced herself, as did someone else who knew her. "Nice to meet you Silvia. I'm Leo Heartern, S-Class mage of Sapphire Eclipse." He said. Leo figured that would clear up that he wasn't a new member so he turned towards Skadi to answer her question. "Well its certainly a lot more livelier than I last time I was here." His eyes darted towards the drinking game that was taking place between Gexln, Quinn and Trevor. That certainly didn't take long. Oh well, back to what he was doing. Searching through the pictures on his camera, he finally found one that he thought would help Silvia. "What do you think about this picture?" The first picture that was shown was a of simple landscape. A long tree stood in the background while a few leaves that had fallen from said tree were caught still within the picture. It was a fairly simple picture but the serenity that could be felt hopefully would help Silvia. Least that's what Leo was aiming for.
This was all quite the set up. Was the first thing that came to mind as Ken looked around the room he'd just walked into. In his hand was the letter than explained everything, why here was here. What he was doing here and most importantly, that he'd died. That would explain why the last thing that he remembers was a sharp pain to the his head. To be honest, he wasn't expecting to die anytime soon, despite the bad luck he's had throughout his entire life. Shame he was only able to get so far. All that aside it was time to get a better feel for his surroundings. There were a couple of other people here already, flowers on the table and boxes with bows on the chairs. People had already started to look at the tags of said boxes. Much like two other people, he was getting curious as to what was in the boxes so he started to make his way towards them. Doing so had allowed him to get a closer look at one of girls who were looking at the boxes. For a brief moment a surprise looked arose on his face, but it soon faded as he walked up to Gwen and lightly tapped her shoulder. "Hey."
The Adventures of Zephyr and Xross Episode III: Thank god, someone else is here Look, in the distance. Something to do It didn't take all that long after starting to head in the direction of the tree that had been shot into orbit for Zephyr to come to the conclusion that doing so would be a a fruitless endeavor. Unfortunately he wasn't the only one who had reach the conclusion, he just happened to reach it at a later time than Xross. "So the tree thing is a bust." Zephyr finally said. "Took you long enough to realize that, did you really expect to be able to use a tree you briefly seen to find other people." The realization that the idea was a bad one was only mad worse by Xross's words, which at the same time added more fuel to the fire that desperately wanted to punched him right in his smug face. It was close to becoming a raging fire as his fist clenched more and more that he thought about it. In fact at one point he could've sworn that he could smell smoke. Wow, he didn't think that inner flame of his was that intense. However the longer that he was able to smell the smoke, the more his realized that what he was smell was actually smoke. Something was burning and it was nearby if his guess was accurate, least the smoke that was rising into the sky looked believable. "If somethings burning then someone might be over there, come on!" Turning in that direction, Zephyr made his way off towards the source of the smoke with Xross following behind. The act of training that Asura was putting himself through had come to an end after he'd successfully knocked down a fair amount of trees that were around. The feeling of unsatisfactoriness weighed heavily on his shoulders. What he needed was a new challenge. Something that could not only wet his appetite, but satisfy it as well. Looking up towards the sky, the lone man noticed the rising cloud of black smoke. Hmm, that could mean that there was someone who could prove to entertain him. A smirk grew on his face as he headed towards the rising smoke.
Upon reaching the dungeon in which Mickey was held, they now just had to find him in his massive place. Again reinforcing how good it was to have pluto with them who could guide them to exactly where Micky was being held. The place certainly lived up to its name with how dark and dreary it looked. Certainly not one place Kel would even want to end up. Fortunately the odd of him actually ending up in a dungeon were low as far as he knew, so he just pressed on into the dungeon. 8/10
"Hmm, you want to get some images out of your head." Leo repeated, making sure that he'd heard her correctly. The young S-Class then proceeded to tap his finger to his chin as he attempted to think of a way to help the poor girl. He wasn't sure just what images that she wanted to get right, but maybe distracting her mind would help. That was when the idea had arisen in his head. "Hold on, I think I might have something to help." Leo then proceeded to rummage through his many pockets, both outside and inside his jacket til he found what he was looking for. What he pulled out and then placed on the table was his trusted magic camera. "If you want we could look through some of the pictures I've taken. I might just help with you dilemma." He wasn't certain on the effectiveness of his place, but anything was worth a shot. Long as it helped then it was good for him.
Even if Kel hadn't noticed the tall building that the group was approaching, Pluto's barking alongside his still heading towards there made it pretty clear that that was where they were suppose to be heading. "So Mickey's somewhere in there, it would definitely take longer to find him, let alone this place, if we didn't have pluto guiding us." His pace didn't falter one bit as he ran towards and eventually inside the building. Hang on Mickey, we're almost there. 7/10

Geez that looked painful. It sure was a good that that Gaius's Ice shield was still holding up. Other wise, that just might've been a bit much for the insult. Next came the bird that attacked Ra and only Ra, which Veilen couldn't help but to chuckle at at bit. In a way, he was betrayed by his own kind. Still that bird could easily be a nuisance if left to its own devices, so it needed to be dealt with quickly. Though Veilen had faith that his comrades in arms would be able to deal with it quickly so he turned his attention to Boreal and fired a fire spell towards him. "Don't call me a small fry, I'm still an S-Class member." Leo said in a slightly annoyed tone as a response to Trevors words. Unfortunately that would likely be a common thing that would happened to him. Being an S-Class only got him so far, wouldn't change the fact that he was a) the youngest S-class in the guild and b) that he was still growing. That still didn't meant he didn't hate it when people pointed out his shortness or when situations where his height hindered him. Woe was Leo, the 16 year old S-Class. Hearing Trevor bring up his other personality again cause a brief shiver to go down his spine. That was not a peasant experience for him to remember and thus, his dwelling on it was short before he stopped. Instead he started to look around the guild and it was just as Gexln had said, it looked pretty good despite being partially destroyed during the who Ezekiel incident. "Man, I wish I was here for when the guild was attack." There was a hint of whine in his voice as he spoke but he didn't have much time to say anything else for Trevor had pushed him towards a girl. Was he trying to play matchmaker here? Sure she was cute and all, but she seemed troubled and like she needed a friend. That was when he actually heard what Trevor had said, which was exactly the same as the conclusion he'd come to on his own, and nodded. "Sure, I'll see what I can do." Thus he ended up taking a seat next to Silvia and spoke. "Hey, are you alright?" After dropping the cat off in his room, Zwei had returned to the main area of the Guild to find that three people had just arrived. One of which looking out of place bother height and age wise compared to the other two. Still it was no concern of his so he just found so he just headed over to the bar i guess, it where Lucia and Thomas are having their "date" (Before you accuse me of trying to sabotage it Gabi, he'll be sitting two seats away from them minding his own business.) and basically just sat there.

The wait in line was a tedious one. Ken had originally planned this to be a quick trip the he'd get back to the rest of what he had planned today. Growing a bit impatient, Ken peek out the side of the line that he was currently in. He counted two people in front of him, which shouldn't take long. However the person at the very front of the line was taking their sweet time in ordering from the menu. It was times like these that he wished that people knew what they were going to get before getting in line, or at least having a general idea. It didn't matter which it was, so long as the line time was cut short. It was then that a miracle had happened; the guy in front had finally made his order. Truly a moment to be praised. What made it even better was how despite the amount of time it took to for the man to make his order, getting the actual order done did not take all that long. Thus the man in front was given his order and left the line. However a small feeling of dread washed over Ken as the next person in line stepped up. What if he hadn't taken advantage of the length of time that he was waiting and took an absurd amount of time thinking about what he wanted to each. Ken couldn't deal with that again and would most likely just walk out if that were to happen. His fears were fortunately not realized as the guy in front had already made his order while Ken was stressing out about the possibility of waiting in line again. Phew, that was a relief. The man's order was made and given to him and thus it was at last his turn. He'd finally reached the promised land. Huzzah! "Sorry for the wait. May I take your order?" "1 frappuccino please." There was no way that he would do onto others what was done to him while he was waiting in line. The sounds of the necessary machines to make the order started to whirl and work their magic before finally the deed was done. "Here you go sir. Enjoy." Handing him his drink, the clerk waved Ken off as he walked out the door. Now that he had his drink and still some money for the bus ride, it was time to continue on with the his plans for today. Vincent had been looking at the reading as per usual when Lyle had walked in with Colton. He'd mentioned needing to borrow the boy some some experiments of his own. "Take him, he's all yours. If he dies in the process make sure to bring his body back before you dispose of him, I can still make use of his brain." The man said, not even bothering to look their direction, least not until Colton had offered to help the poor boy in some way. "Hmm, interesting offer, but I doubt there's anything that you can do." Vincent then turned his head towards him, to get a better look at him. It didn't take long for him to reach a verdict. "Yup, absolutely nothing."
It'd taken longer than he'd expected, but Zephyr had finally managed to beat the maid that had arrived to fight him. From the looks of things, Aoki had managed to handle her maid well too, despite the universe hating her, and had walked over to him to give him a fist bump in congratulations for his victory. He gladly accepted the offer and bump fists with her. "Right." His eyes rested on the collapsed bookshelf with all of the books that were once on the shelf strung out everywhere. "Guess we should start with theme." Having said that, he made his way over to the books that were on the ground and started to look through them.

While Zephyr worked to get himself down from the tree that he'd been dumped into, Xross simply just looked up at his attempts. At first he'd just smirked before eventually chuckling to himself at the sight before him. Once would think that it wouldn't take much effort to get down from a tree, but for Zephyr it apparently did. Didn't help that his movements were rushed and thus he was making quite a bit of mistakes. "How bout instead of laughing, you help me down from here." "Why should I? Its not my fault that your stuck up there." Much to Zephyr's annoyance, Xross was being very difficult Mother fucker your the reason I'm up here! Is what he wanted to say, but he learned that he couldn't just act off his anger. No matter how much the other guy deserved it. So instead what he said was. "Cause you put me up here, now do something dammit!" Xross's chuckling came to an end as he sighed as well as shrugged his shoulders. "Very well." Approaching the tree, he gave it a swift kick to its trunk. From Zephyr's perspective it looked like he did jack all, but in reality a shock wave of darkness coursed through the tree's inner workings and up to where Zephyr was situated. The branch shook violently until it basically dropped him out of the tree and onto the ground face first. "Happy now?" You could practically hear the smugness in his voice oozing out of those two words. At this point Zephyr would love nothing more but to deck him right in his smug face, yet something told him that doing do would only backfire on him. So he muttered some swears into the ground, got up and brushed any lingering dirt off his face. All this and he was still able to see the tree being sent flying through the air. "Wonder if that's where we're suppose to go?" He muttered this under his breath so that Xross wouldn't have a chance to make some kind of smart remark in response and headed off towards the direction in which the tree was fired from.
"Well Pluto knows, but I don't speak dog." Kel said in response to Raisor. "BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK!" Yeah, no idea what Pluto said, but he could guess that it was something along the "I'll lead the way." How did he guess this? Cause Pluto proceeded to run ahead of them. Man dogs really did seemed to be reliable. First Goofy in Camelot now Pluto here. Take that you mangy cats. That odd thign aside, Kel followed behind Pluto as he lead there to where Mickey was behind held. 4/10
"Definitely not what I was expecting." Veilen said in regard to Boreal's next form change. The bulky armor made since and wasn't surprising, but the tentacles were very surprising. Fortunately they appeared to be more focused on dealing damage rather the other, stereotypical, use for them were. That in mind Veilen charged up another fire spell in the palm of his hands and fired off towards Boreal. Veilen used fire.
Spoiler: Drama Dream/Flashback Mai stood there on the porch, dumbfounded as she looked at her dear friend for nine years.“Lief… Why?” The world was suddenly crashing down on her and she couldn’t control it anymore. She clenched her fist and winced, trying to fight the tears that were coming on. “You can’t leave!” she blurted out, her voice louder than she anticipated. “You just… can’t.” She sniffed, rubbing the tears with the heel of her palm. “What did I do?” she asked, her voice quiet as she hugged herself, turning her head to look the other way. “You can tell me anything, you know that.” Her lip quivered as she forced herself to look at Lief with her chestnut eyes, trying to force herself to be brave and reasonable. “You’re the only friend I have… I don’t know what I would do without you…” Thunder rumbled in the distance and the smell of rain was thick in the air. Mai didn’t care though. Lief’s words had stung her to the very core of her heart. They had known each other since they were kids, and now he was telling her he didn’t want to bother her with his troubles. She wiped more tears away with her fingers, sniffing as she fought down the frustration building up inside of her. “Stay here with us,” she said softly. “We can have troubles together…” Sitting next tot he distraught Mai very the very friend that she didn't want to leave her. Despite his words, Leif's face had an odd combinations of expressions pasted on it. Regret and certainty, those were what could be easily seen from his face. "I can't." The words finally left his throat. "If I do your liable to get caught up in this mess centered around me and I couldn't do that to you, not after how long we've been friends." His reason may have been noble, but it was precisely because that they'd been friends for so long that was making this much more difficult. One half of him truly didn't want to abandon her while the other half knew that he had to for her sake. It was an internal conflict that Lief had been mulling over for some time now and today was the day that he told Mai his decision. "Nothing you did was wrong, I'm the one at fault here." While he hesitated at first, Leif slowly moved his arm over Mai's shoulders to comfort her quivering body. As soon as Lief wrapped an arm around her, Mai turned in his arm an embraced him. This was the friend she made daisy chains for, where she pretended they were both heroes of some kind saving the world, the friend that played hide-and-seek and tag for hours on end, exploring the yard and the neighborhood around them, getting a Slurpee ice drink down at the gas station and seeing who could get the worst brain freeze, the one who she would stay up late with and talk about just anything... And now he was leaving her for problems she didn't know. Lief kept them all to himself all this time. Silent tears rolled down her cheeks as she hugged her best friend, not wanting to let him go. She couldn't force him to stay as much as she wanted to, and she couldn't certainly get him to talk about what was on his mind. She had secrets herself, deep down inside. "Don't stay away too long," her voice cracked, full of emotion. "Okay? When you come back... I have something to tell you too." Now wasn't the time to share it though, or at least that's what she thought. Mai pulled away gradually, smiling at Lief through tears. The image suddenly flashed, and Mai had longer hair, tired dead eyes, thinning facial features, a black metallic like choker thing around her neck, and paleness like a ghost. The image shuddered back to a younger Mai, full of life, but full of sadness because of that last day with her best friend. "Don't forget about me, got it?" Mai's countenance kept shifting from one image to another as if there was some kind of glitch happening within the memory. "I have something to tell you too when things are okay again..." Soon Mai was no longer sitting by Lief as if she wasn't ever there to begin with. The gray neighborhood gradually faded away into some sort of darken hallway with a clear prison cell at the very end. The memory glitched, lagging between the image of a girl in a hospital bed to the beginning of the creepy hallway. Finally the vision focused on the girl, showing Lief who it was. The sickly Mai that has shown herself to Leif earlier was laying there in the hospital bed, hooked up to all sorts of machines and wires. An oxygen mask was fit securely around her mouth and nose as she was taking in one labored breath at a time, bandages wrapped around her arms and one over one eye was visible, but did not cover all the cuts and bruises left on her fair skin. "I have something to tell you too when things are okay again," the words were repeated once more, but the unconscious Mai did not speak. Mental pictures flashed without warning, showing Lief a brief slide show of being betrayed by her parents, to being put through various experiments, to faces of people unknown and machines with red eyes, to being sick, broken, battered, bruise, all alone and crying in agony, to just sitting there staring at nothing, cheeks smudged with dirt and grime. The slide show ceased all together, sending the one watching into darkness. A small voice echoed through the vision, sounding so helpless and desperate. "Lief... Where are you...? Please... Someone... Find me..." The hug from Mai was unexpected, but welcomed nonetheless. This would likely be the last time that they would be able to talk like this for quite some time. In fact, he wasn't even certain that they would ever be able to talk like this again. It truly was a moment to be cherished while they had the time. "I'll see what I can do." When Mai's features suddenly changed from her usual self to a more pale version of her, Leif's eyes widen with shock. Before he could even ask what was wrong he image changed once more, back to the Mai he was speaking with earlier. Leif was at a loss for words at what was taking place before him. Mai's appearance kept shifting back and forth until finally she wasn't even sitting next to him anymore. What followed what the entire environment around them changing to a prison cell with a girl resting on a hospital bed. At first Leif had no clue why he was being shown this and was much more concerned about what happened to Mai. The image of the girl moved into focus and Leif got his answer in quite possibly the worst way possible. Having no idea what could've happened to cause this Leif could only stare out in horror as Mai's voice range out in his head and images of everything that she's been through. Seeing the images cause him to further regret his decision to leave her. Had he known about all this, known that this would've happened to her then he never would've left or at least offer her to come along with him. His fist tighten the more he thought about it as her voice sounded in his head once more, this time sounding pleading and helpless. "Lief... Where are you...? Please... Someone... Find me..." Leif's eyes sprung open as his dream/flashback ended. His heavy breathing gradually slowed down as he came back to his senses. He hadn't thought about that day for quite some time, so why did he suddenly recall it now? Heh, who was he kidding, he knew exactly why. He saw Mai's face on the on the missing people section on the board and if that last part of his dream was anything to go off of, which it likely was, she wasn't doing all to well. To think that this could've been avoided if he hadn't left Mai in the first place. He thought that his actions would help keep her safe, but clearly he was wrong about that. In fact the frustration that he was feeling prompted him to one more punch the wall in his room. This time he actually left a small dent due to his Psionic Strength. Still despite all this it was pretty clear what he had to do next, and so he got up, got dressed and left his room.
OKay, so Kel wasn't sure just how did Pluto find out all of those of those thing that Goofy had translated. It sure was a good thing that Goofy was a dog, thought somehow he got the feeling that that wouldn't have made any difference at all. So they now knew that Mickey was in trouble and, much like Raisor had said, they could deal with any Mickey was saved from his predicament. "Come one then, we don't have time to waste." Kel declared, going on ahead of the others. 2/10 posts done.
