I qualify for: -TWO?! (Castle Oblivion) -Red Skull -White Skull -Pink Skull
Iridia shook her head at the dwarf and smiled, "Nah, it'll be quite alright. I just needed it outside so I could work my magic." The fairy summoned out her little staff again and began doing the same ritual she did before, but this time the fairy started slowly falling from flight and began sitting on the ground with her hands against it and taking deep breathes. She was already magically exhausted and feeling tired, but she was stubborn and didn't want to admit it. Though she was bad at pretending she was fine otherwise. Zelph looked at the bear a bit and shrugged and said, "I don't see why not. I'm sure whoever did have it would want it to have more adventures." he kept looking around the house just to eye the place and see if there was more and said, "But I'm not gonna carry it for you." it wasn't like it was atypical behavior for a kid to get sick of carrying their own stuff but with how many times he had to go back for teddy because she left it back at the site (though it wasn't too far a walk) and he had to keep an eye he didn't want to have to have that responsibility.
Iridia filled up Hedgrit's tankard once more while Zelph ended up getting focus cause of more fun stuff. Zelph noticed his sister's annoyance at him reminding but there was a part of him that felt like if he did not tell her, it would be the one time she did not do it. Zelph began to explore the abandoned house beginning his search first through the kitchen, where he ended up seeing the body of the child and jumping slightly. He approached it cautiously but noticed a small flower was growing on it and new at the very least Iridia purified the body. He quickly looked around to see if Tellia was looking before picking up the body and running outside with it and placing it by Hedgrit and Iridia awkwardly and running back inside. He started rummaging through the area to see if any food was stored. Unfortunately for him, most of the stuff they would have loved to have eaten was rotting. The vegetables were basically hopeless. But this family stored their game pretty well. The boy started stocking up quickly in his bag all the food and supplies in the kitchen he could find before he heard growling and stopped still. He paced quietly in the direction of it and it began to be loud and frantic as he saw what must have been a human pinned under something and unable to move. At this rate they were infected and trying to kill Zelph, but could only accomplish so much from how it was pinned. Zelph whispered a small prayer to himself before he sliced his hand a small amount again and pointed towards the woman and the blood shot out like that of an arrow and pieced through her head as she stopped still. Zelph realized after a moment of looking that this woman very well may have been the mother of the child. He stared at her a long moment as he remembered watching when his father was dead on the floor and Ilythyrra was infected and telling for him to run and protect Tellia. Probably the only responsibility those two ever gave him and trusted. He couldn't say he got along with either his father or his stepmother (though Ilythyrra would be loathed for him to refer to her as such). The only reason he ended up being taken in by him was because of his mother's own death years prior. Zelph was approaching thirteen when his mother died and he was brought in by his father out of pity. His first name sounded plenty elven, which was why he stuck to just that. But his last name was Wildfeather, his mother's last name. That was unmistakably human. Sometimes when not in the presence of them he announced himself as Zelph Daerieth, but his father caught him once and he made a point that if he did it again he would be out on the streets. And by that point, Zelph had already grown attached to his sister, whom he met when she was aged five. But even still, it hurt to see how Ilythyrra seemed to suffer, and he was the one that ended up putting her out of it and getting Tellia out of there. He knew he would have to tell her soon that they were dead... he just didn't know how to approach it now that it had taken him so long to get there. The half elf continued his search afterwards and noticed that the woman had a bag filled with canned goods and emergency medical supplies, like she was getting ready to escape before the attack happened. He got excited and quickly began to loot before going once again on his search for Tellia, "Find anything exciting?"
Kaida began marching along with the others once movement began to occur and she listened in on the conversation thinking about what it would be like to have a crystal for a sun and a world perpetually raining. While she didn't think it was possible to ever wrap her head around the crystal part, she could at least understand a forever rain. She liked rain, not especially over one whether condition over the other or anything. But the sounds it made, and how everything seemed to cool off in hotter temperatures. It almost kind of made her wish it started raining right now. But as the blonde looked up at the deep blue sky of this new world, she realized that all things considered this was picture perfect weather even if it was tropical. Kaida eyed back at the beach and said, "Ya know, I've never had a beach day. I always wanted to, my master always told me about how his world was... kind of like this one. Tropical, palm trees, beautiful sand. Kind of wanted to visit it. Don't know if I ever will. Think it was called something like... Density Isles or something? Name's not that important." she was unaware that she had already been there and just didn't know it, since a battle with several heartless ended up holding the broken world as an arena. Kaida looked over at Ananta and said, "I'm not rushing to get into a bathing suit or anything like that. In fact after that boat ride... I'd... I'd rather just... not... water." she turned her head back over towards the ocean and sighed and remembered the whole thing with Hikaru again and she began pulling back behind the group just so she would stop herself from talking. She knew if she kept talking at this rate she might start randomly crying on them out of nowhere. And she didn't want that.
"No. It's seen as a bit of a waste on my homeworld to keep a pet. BUT a friend of mine unfortunately passed on and I've been watching over her cat, Nini. Does that count." "Um, I don't know if it's mutually exclusive, but my best friend's name is Chrono. He helped me be able to summon the keyblade and trained with me under the same master. I like his pocketwatch." "That I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to my little brother." "Oh my gosh. Okay you have to hear this. So one of my neighbors: his name was Jin, was trying to walk back with me home from a training day and one of the mountain goats on my homeworld ended up sneaking up behind him and let out this scream and Jin screamed back right at it. It then just seemed to try and communicate with him and we all just kept screaming at it back and forth until the adults told us to stop. It was amazing. Oh man... I hope Jin is doing well."
Kaida up until this point has not paid as much attention to heat, but she did suppose once she saw Strato stake off his jacket that it probably was more on the tropical end of everything. Kaida took off her sweatshirt (even though it was short sleeved). She examined it briefly, turning it around to look at the back. Though she got most of it out, there was still a mark on her back where a bloodstain ended up being. She didn't remember when she got it, she didn't remember anyone spilling blood, but when she found out she basically spent an hour scrubbing it off as best she could. But without a washer of some kind it made it difficult. Which was a shame. Her outfit was brand new. Kaida's hair was also getting a bit longer and starting to get in her way but she tucked it behind and started rolling up her sweatshirt military style to put it in her bag. She tried to keep things as compact as possible. She readjusted her shirt a bit, since it was just a dull, grey tank-top underneath, and she took off her glove. She then looked through her bag and pulled out a bottle of sunscreen and just started lathering it all over her skin. She looked at the group and her voice managed out, a bit raspy from not having spoken for a while, "My homeworld didn't have a sun. I'll look as red as Aux's hair if I don't put something on it. Or... purple. I don't like remembering the purple days." She held the sunscreen out towards the others in offer for others to use and said, "I don't think clothes are really the most important thing if we don't even see locals. Maybe we should try to head for civilization instead."
Kaida was not entirely sure why Ananta seemed to be on the protective end so suddenly. Did the girl think she was helpless and was not capable of her own decisions? Why would she walk in front of her like she was about to be attacked and what was she to gain from assuming that? The reason Kaida just went and waved in the first place was because their presence was already alerted and it was basically going to start out with these two aliens either speaking with them under more peaceful pretenses, or they would just become hostile immediately and attack. Either way, Kaida was prepared to confront it. And that's why it puzzled her more than made her feel comforted why Ananta walked in front of her just under the assumption it would be a hostile start. She was not going to assume the worst, maybe Ananta just was having moments back to events with No Heart. She understood. Or maybe, unbeknownst to her until the thought occurred, she looked far more out of it than she actually was. Kaida backed up from Ananta slightly only for Steel to speak up and use language that made it clear they were from another world. It was more of a twitch reaction based on what the Order taught her, but she almost aimed to scold Steel for being so overt about it. But then she remembered when Glen used a keyblade glider in Corona and smashed into Rapunzel's tower. That was being overt about it. Steel's was just more of a subtle thing that the creatures would either pick up on, or not pick up on. She had to teach herself to stop worrying about that, especially since at this point with the order of the universe itself being so out of wack, it might not even matter if they let slip to a few people they were not from here. But she did not want to make a habit of it. Stratos jumped in along with Steel's angle which worked out very nice for them. And it turned out these aliens were not from this world... maybe? Kaida remembered a vague conversation she had with Seiza once upon a time that some worlds were more like a chain of worlds grouped together, so it was possible that there could be an awareness of "other worlds" but not quite be aware of the scale of it. Kaida remembered not getting it at the time, but now it finally made sense. She made a note in her head to bring that up to Seiza later if this world turned out to be an example of that. The girl realized she was so distracted in her own thoughts that she did not realize they basically went through a bargaining stage for them to presumably do their dirty work in exchange for a vessel. Well, that ideally would be a ship but that was just vaguely worded enough where she realized they could turn around and do this mission and simply be rewarded with a unicycle. But Aux accepted the terms before she could even open her mouth to comment on that and the blonde just seemed to stare at the redhead with indignation for a long moment before letting out a sigh, giving up quickly on that. He could not read her thoughts and she was not exactly offering verbal support or ideas. Even now, when she could have just walked between and told them to hold on, she did not. Instead she just silently sat back and felt herself zone out again as she watched the two leave. So they were going to go and find some sort of blue creature that they had no visual reference of other than allusions to what Steel looked like. Without knowing it, Kaida started staring at Steel with this intense look which to anyone outside of her mind probably looked very, very weird. But she was processing his appearance. She was still not used to the whole wolf thing, but she was probably more used to it than most people. She came from an academy of keyblade wielders located on a world for shelter. She trained briefly in the same class as a girl who basically had the head of a fox and a tail and no other part of her looked like a cat. She tried to remember the girl's name, it was just a passerby. There was also someone with just cat ears, which was a little odd since he also had human ears and Kaida did remember asking if they could hear out of both of them and inquired about which pair of ears they covered when they went to a concert or something. The point was that Steel was not the first person she met with animal features, and he very well may not be her last. But at this moment he was the only one in the group who was, which caused a bit of a problem. Kaida thought it was weird blend did not seem to kick in for him here, maybe it was because of the other aliens? She had no idea. It must not have been an anomaly enough for this world to try and correct it to make it easier. Kaida clicked her tongue curiously in thought, not realizing she probably had been staring at Steel for a solid half minute now pretty intensely. The blonde then took a few steps closer to Steel and quickly roughed up the hair on his head, without even asking about it. once it was messed up she tried to make it look like bangs. Then she pulled his hood up (yes I'm assuming he has a hood) so it covered up his ears. It stuck the hood up a little bit, but didn't look that odd. Then Kaida reached into her bag and pulled out a nice pair of sunglasses she managed to pick up when shopping for clothes in Shibuya and she placed them on Steel's face so it was covering his eyes. Kaida stepped back to look at her work a minute and kept poking at his snout before she just finally shrugged, giving up and fixing up the hair again to try and make it look somewhat like he was maybe just a scene kid that dyed his hair. Though she felt like she was failing at that.
"More like I keep you around because you're a better drinking buddy than the boy." Iridia giggled as she poked the glass and it filled up with ale. She conjured up a small thimble-sized tankard for herself and scooped the smallest amount from Hedgrit's, which looked like nothing was taken out, and she started sipping away before turning her attention in the direction of the house again. "You'll never lose me over something like that, Tellia." Zelph said as assertively as he could. He couldn't promise he wasn't bit, or that she wouldn't lose him, but there wasn't really a way at this moment in time anything could get inside the wound. Though he did start wondering if he should find some gloves to put on to prevent that. It wasn't his priority right now. After Tellia lit the room, he turned his head so she couldn't see the brief look of shame he felt over not being able to do a simple cantrip, but he turned back very quickly with a smile, "Nice job. Thank you." and he started looking around the house for potential supplies. Just before he did he turned and said, "Before going into a room behind a closed door, do the three knock test, okay?" The three knock test was when someone knocked on a door three times and backed away from the door and waited a minute to see if a crawler broke through the door. Over hearing the three knocks they could generally tell someone living was around. He always made sure to remind Tellia since it was important and it was better to set the zombies off quietly than to alert everything a mile around from screaming. ooc: i haven't described anything in the house yet cause i didn't know if i was allowed : /
Iridia looked disgusted at Hedgrit's implications with his sentence and just continued with the purification. She then cast a spell which caused the area to glow, and the three crawlers began to have grass grow around them and wrap around them. It pulled them gently into the ground as they disappeared into the dirt, and in place of their parts small saplings popped out of the ground. Iridia finished up the cleanup and stared and said, "Nah. But I could go for some ale right now if you're up for it." one of the useless skills in Iridia's spell list was that he could create alcohol. It wasn't amazing tasting but it got the job done. Fortunately for her, she also could summon water. Which saved water-search issues, but couldn't stop food searching. The only problem with the spell is that it made her tired if she used it too much and meant she was magically exhausted for the day. Which is why she usually summoned their water in one day and rested for the rest. But right now, she was fine with a small amount of ale. She only really needed a small amount anyway. "I am." Zelph replied not really feeling the need to elaborate. The elf showed no signs of injury except for his palm for the cut, which had no signs of blood. While it did heal quickly, it seemed to heal slower and slower each time he had to use that magic, which ever since the outbreak had been a lot more than he did before. As he got the door open, a little dust flew out and he rubbed his nose and mumbled, "Well that's nice." as he walked inside he quickly snapped his fingers to try and use a spell to get some light. It glowed briefly before disappearing again. The elf tried to hide his embarrassment and snapped his fingers again and tried to play it off like his lack of magical talent was more of an intentional quick flash and stop. He walked in quietly and looked back to Tellia to see if she was following.
"Hm... I... huh... I don't know. Loyalty? No... Honesty." "If someone killed or seriously harmed someone I love. I would never be able to forgive them." "I'm willing to give my life for my cause. But I'm not so keen to sacrifice others for it. A peaceful solution is not always possible, but I'd never sacrifice many for few." "A stone my brother Iwao made for me, along with lookalikes my other brothers got. It has a carved and painted dragon shape in it. I carry it everywhere so there's always a piece of my family and home with me."
"Ah yes. Me taking swings. Can you imagine? The giant wouldn't be able to handle any of this." Iridia replied as she flexed her tiny muscles trying to look intimidating and completely failing. She then looked towards the creatures and started another purification ceremony with her head lowered a bit out of respect but also trying to hide how sad she found this whole thing. Zelph walked up towards the door of the house and did a quick check to see if it would easily open or if it was boarded up. If it was boarded up, he got himself ready to body check the door, though he probably wouldn't do amazingly well considering he wasn't amazingly strong and didn't have a lot of muscle.
"I don't plan to. You don't seem to do well with children." Zelph answered as he continued walking around to look for Tellia out of concern more than anything. As he did, the fairy quickly flew up and made Zelph jump out of reaction and hold up the dagger as Iridia reasoned, "Easy. Easy kid! There ain't no fairy crawlers." Iridia's wings sparked briefly as she crossed her arms and looked towards the dwarf and the elf, "Everyone in the house is already lost. But, I don't know if there are any inside the house. There's also dead youngin in the kitchen that needs burying." "Did you see Tellia when you flew in?" "Yeah I called her over towards the window at the side of the house." "Okay." Zelph immediately looked a lot more composed as he walked backwards until he walked just past the side enough to see Tellia there and wave. Iridia looked at the Golliath's state and looked at Hedgrit, "What... couldn't get it's head so you went for the arm?" she hoped he got she was teasing but she wasn't quite sure.
"Very." Zelph replied with a bit of a smirk, "You see if you put your mind to it, even a dwarf can cut off someone's head." just as he was saying that, a crawler started sneaking up behind him and went to go in for a bite, but Zelph caught it just in time and managed to stab it in the head and it's arms could only weakly lay over his shoulders. The half-elf looked clearly a little wigged out that it was so close and he withdrew the knife and kicked what looked like a smaller Goliath, perhaps a child, drop to the ground. He took a few deep breaths to compose himself and looked over at Hedgrit and moved a strand of his hair that escaped during the fighting back behind his ear and he lied, "I meant to do that. Lull the crawler into a false sense of security." his eyes looked around for Tellia and when he couldn't find her, the boy looked nervous, but didn't immediately start screaming for her as he scanned the area. Just so he didn't draw attention. "Tellia, can you let your brother and Hedgrit know that the house has supplies, but it might not be clear?" The fairy tried to shift herself so Tellia couldn't see the child's body on the ground.
Zelph kept looking around to make sure a crawler didn't appear behind him before he started shouting, "The head, shortstack. Aim for the head! What's the arm worth?!" The child's body began to glow as it's soul seemed to float out and upwards and Iridia finished the prayer. She then flew past the child and looked around, knowing she would have to come back there later to get those taller to move the body or bury it. Iridia opened the window wider and looked out a let out a whistling song, hoping maybe the others would hear it. More specifically Tellia since she could hear the fighting outside.

"Hello. Absolutely, feel free!" "Ooo... hm... I think it might be red. I really like the color red. I know I wear a lot of green but it's more the uniform. Ya know?" "Spring. It's when the leaves begin to grow again and is always welcoming after harsh winters." "I look up to all my older brothers. I'd even say I look up to my little brother. I care a lot about them, they've taught me a lot and got me through hard times." "I don't think there's anyone out there I... hate? There are quite a few people I can't see eye to eye with. The person I probably don't get along with the most is the high councilor on my homeworld, Hotaka. But that feels like it's often him not liking me more than me not liking him..." "Hm... I'm... afraid of becoming a stranger and distant from the things I care about and those I love and have sworn to protect." "Well ya know. Protect the weak, save the world.
