] It's 5am as I write this, so if this seems incoherent I apologize. It'll be funny to read in the morning. Well, Aqua has been in the playable character slot. No other Kingdom Hearts female really has... I mean unless you count the fact you can play Xion in 358/2 days. "Development" to me does not automatically make a character just automatically better to me. Sora is one of my least favorite characters in Kingdom Hearts and he has had the most amount of time to "develop". Aqua has been given more of a shot to react and grow than some characters and I just don't get it I guess. Xion was a character literally written in and out of a story in a single game and was a clone of an already existing character... and I felt about the same for Xion as I felt for Aqua at the end of their respective games. Aqua is very pretty character and she has a moral compass I can at least understand. But Namine had some decent development in Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II. And she was a "side character". I feel like Namine learned from what she went through in Chain of Memories and wasn't a very static character. Aqua feels more static to me. I don't feel like she really had an arc in Birth by Sleep. Maybe her story was supposed to be "don't put business over friends" but it wasn't a very well done message that resulted in her becoming a martyr. I have no defense for Kairi. Kairi just seems like she was made to be a trophy and then they realized "we should probably make her a character" in Kingdom Hearts II and... I don't think it worked there either.
>:C
Praise be the dark lord, a h'yuck.
You awake to find yourself on the cold, unforgiving ground of what seems to be a cave of some kind. It is dark, and upon looking around you begin to notice others are on the ground with you. You seem to wait to react until the haze in your mind clears: Where am I? How did I get here? Who are these people? But the haze never clears and you are left with a feeling of dread. You look to your clothing to notice a little pin on your shirt with a number marked in roman numerals, and everyone else seems to have the same thing but with a different number on it. These circumstances are extremely confusing to you, even scary. Why can’t I remember anything? What is this badge? There is a broken machine on the ground in between all of you. What in the world could that be? And the dark seems to be… moving? You begin to realize that the wisps of dark and purple colors in the air are moving towards the exit of the cave, they are not just the lighting of the cave, it seems to be its own thing. But on instinct you know it is best not to venture forth alone. You get up and wait for the others, hoping they can help piece together the puzzle. They can’t. Not yet. 1. No godmodding, powerplaying, or metagaming. 2. In this roleplay, people will be given roles which will determine what memories they can remember and what essential part in the story they play. Do not. Do not. DO NOT. Tell ANYONE else what your role is or what memories your character remembers in private chats. If you remember something and wish to roleplay them explaining it, that is completely fine. But if other characters somehow know things they should not know, I’m going to be really disappointed. 3. Keep conversations PG. Please pull back on the swearing. Try and pretend you’re playing a character in an actual Kingdom Hearts game. However, I will allow the usage of “hell” and “damn”. That’s it. 4. This roleplay will be semi-literate. Try and post a paragraph or two each post. It gets hard sometimes, I know. But that’s half the fun. 5. Fights will not be handled in a formal battle system. They will instead be handled in a written style similar to brawl missions in Kingdom Hearts SOS. If you do not know what this is, I will have an explanation below. 6. Be respectful of each other, this should be a fun time away from real life stresses. Don’t make it a problem. 7. I reserve the right to add and subtract rules as I see fit. Before each battle commences, a cutscene will begin. A large indicator will be placed explicitly saying “cutscene start!” and the enemies will be introduced, or dialogue will be exchanged. When a cutscene has begun, the cutscene will last for three days roleplay time, or shorter if players determine the cutscene is complete. It will just start on the third day regardless of whether or not it was finished. This will give the chance for people to react within the cutscene and make it their own thing. When a battle begins, everyone will start with battle points (BP), the starting amount is 20BP for everyone. Each BP is equal to about 20 words a battle point used. If you were to fight a shadow, a shadow is worth 5BP. You could beat 4 shadows in one turn. Each person can post once, each round’s length will be determined based on the schedule of the players, but generally one round will last one day. After the round has passed, the enemies will attack with a horde attack. The horde attack will be specified at the beginning of each battle. Each person starts with 20 health points (HP). If someone is knocked out during a fight, a player can use their BP to heal. The maximum they can use is one-fourth of their BP, each BP equaling one HP. Parts to the battle system are LOCKED right now. They will be unlocked through progression of the story, and the explanation will be placed here. Starting from the time this has posted, everyone has until Saturday, February 4th, 2017 to post a “enrollment form” and be rolled for a critical role. If you do not want a critical role, you do not need to! But if you would like a critical role, you must post the enrollment form before that date! If you post the enrollment form afterwards, you will be rolled for a non-critical role. Non-critical roles are important, critical roles are just one of the more important roles! Also, if you are rolled for a critical role, you might not get one. You are just giving the “okay” to role you for a critical role. Thank you!

Excuse me I thought Riku was best girl
Kaida just hit them.
Jael nodded and walked up to John and was about to lead him away before Kathi stopped him and handed him a key, then Jael led him so he was inside the ship and out of sight from the aliens. Then he stopped and said, "Alright, lets get these chains off first before we continue on. They must be heavy." and Jael used the key Kathi had to take them off, the chains fell heavily to the floor of the ship but Jael made sure it avoided hitting John or his' feet. As he did this he said, "I don't know how long you've been in that scenario. But if you have any lapses in English or anything and want some help, you can shout for me any time." when all the chains were off. Jael picked them up and carried them himself, Jael made sure to keep himself in shape so he wasn't too horrible at holding them but he definitely was near a limit as he led John, trying to let John walk on his own rather than literally having him on a leash and dragging him there. When he got to the infirmary, Jael didn't give a knock since he was told to bring him there, and unlike his sister he never really got into the habit of it, he led John in and said, "Simon, I've brought our guest." when Simon would have gotten there, Jael would have motioned to John saying, "This is John." Jael paused before mumbling to himself in a completely different language under his breath, it was Ilgin, which most people shouldn't have known how to speak it, Why did Garrett refer to him as a guest, are we literally dropping him off somewhere after this that seems like the worst thing we could do for this guy? This kind of seems more like a permanent residency I don't know why we're playing guest. Kathi was paused in the same spot afterwards since she knew Garrett told her to stay. She finally turned to him and said, "Commander. Half of what I did was on instinct. By the time it happened I couldn't have pulled back. But besides that, isn't it better that this was dealt with without creating a potential enemy?" she looked like she was trying to convince herself that, "Or potentially losing more men if we didn't know just what we were dealing with?"
Qing had been expecting more questions from the other two, but considering how heavy Enok seemed to go on the questions, she figured that would suffice. Qing smiled and said, "There is someone just outside of Lezaphel. Their name is Cori and they will be taking you all there. On their cart with you is a shipment of potatoes,, it seems weird but, if you've ever been to the Serpentside, you would know potatoes don't grow there, but they are an essential food source for the people there to make flour and dough. And since there's been some panic because of recent events, they need people to bring the food down there." Qing reached into her pocket and pulled out a small piece of paper, it was sealed with wax and a stamp that roughly translated to 'my light' and she got up from her chair and walked over to Enok, "But since you asked, I need you to bring this letter to someone. You may recognize the name: their name is Gotthilf Novenun. They are a dear friend of mine." she held the letter out and said, "I want you to take care of it. Please make sure it is not opened before it gets to him." Qing stared at him for a long moment before saying, "You must be the tradesman, Enok Wendell, yes? Although you are not famous among the traders, I did hear about the tradesman who sought out adventure and was reliable. I wouldn't have sent for you if I didn't have good trust in you." She kept the letter held out, but her hands were shaking a bit with age, "I need not know any information. We may be a family of scholars, but we do not need any of you to seek out information specifically. If information is given to you for us, please take it and give it to us. If you wish to record your adventures in a journal or log, please do so. But once the trip to the Serpentside is made, and the letter and potatoes are given, your mission is a success. The journey back will be easier than the journey there. Going down a hill is easier than coming up one. And you will of course all be compensated for your time and generosity."
REEEEEEEEEEE
Kathi listened to the man describe his experience there and she had to keep herself from stopping cold upon hearing him. She continued leading in the direction of the ship, trying to avoid thinking about it. She knew she was being rudely quiet, especially since the guy just dropped something like that. Finally Kathi spoke up, "Well, at least you don't have to only wait for death anymore. I'm sorry to hear that you went through that." it was all she could really make herself say. Kathi was a bit out of it right then, and she was hoping, since Garrett would have been of remembering age, that he wouldn't bring up the fact she was an Everlasting survivor. Things in this case would match up perfectly, and Kathi did not want to talk about it. She liked people forgetting she had not been on the Resilient for the first 7 years of her life. But she did not recognize John. The name was not even ringing a bell to her. If she knew his job designation maybe but... she was not going to ask that. Especially not if John thought they were going to put him right to work. They got to the ship and Jael was waiting outside, he motioned for everyone who was standing idle by the doors to make way so they could get through to bring him to medical. He kind of looked at Kathi and asked, "So, 125?" "65. If you wanna mark it for less, you can." "Wh-" "I'm not worried about getting paid back, Lieutenant." Kathi admitted before shutting off again, Jael wasn't gonna fight it unless someone higher rank said something.
Kaida pointed to Stratos with thumbs up like ay thanks for saving me, then she ran on over to the next chest and opened it up and said, "Oh wait, it's just Glen. Nevermind." and she shut the chest again. Waited five seconds before opening it up going, "I'm just kidding, come on out." Kaida freed Glen
Kaida saw D'daear was finally free from his death trap so she decided to heal him up. Kaida used cure on D'daear
tale what have you created and encouraged
Kio nodded at Enok's question and replied, "Yeah, something about the letter makes me feel like this is a direction in my life I need to take. It's like the Gods placed this path before me, and it just feels right." Kio went to go and stand up so he could look at everyone clearer, and his short height could really be seen when he stood there. He shifted his hair out of his face before he heard the door open. And the guard who had been outside the door opened the door and said, "Sit down all of you, either at the table or the couches." Kio ended up moving over towards the table, just by the fireplace, despite being closer to the couch. Mainly because there was food there, and it looked like good food. After everyone was sitting down at the table, the guard began, "I don't want any of you doing anything that will put ths person in danger, do you under-" "Heng, are you being overly worried?" an old, frailer sounding voice broke out as a wrinkled hand landed on the tall man's shoulder. Behind him in the door way was an elderly woman with a smile on her face as she looked over at the group. The older woman stepped forward and Heng shut the door with slightly annoyance at the older woman's non-concern for her own safety. She walked over with much youth to her step, despite the fact it was clear she was up in her older ages. She reached a chair that was right at the end of the table and before she sat down, she bowed to the group before saying, "Thank you for choosing to come here. I know you all must have busy lives and schedules, and being able to partake in this means quite a lot to me." Heng walked over and moved the chair out so the older woman could sit down and she rolled her eyes and said, "Heng, you're being too polite. I can pull out my own seat and sit down. But thank you." she gave him a pat on the shoulder once more before sitting down in the chair and looking at them and saying, "It is nice to meet you, my name is Qing Vegh. I am one of the High Elders of the Vegh Family." For the families, the High Elders were the parents, great-grandparents, aunts, and uncles of the Heads of the High Families. They tended to be the committee spoken to about changes in rules for the family, or if any major decisions were being made that affected the overall clan. Most High Elders were unknown, but this one was different. Qing used to be the Head of the Vegh Family. She was seen for years standing there to do work, but her husband had passed when she was young and raising her four children and became a known figure that represented the idea of hard work and the bond of a family. She was removed from her position when her children were old enough to marry and take her place. Qing folded her hands on her lap and said, "I know the letter covered the bare minimum of what you need to know. It was written and explained that you would be journeying to the Serpentside, and that the journey would not be an easy one. But we needed you, because right now, our families must stay here to take care of Lezaphel. But I expect you all have questions first, before I go into the details. Maybe those questions will take care of the details, two for one deals are great." Qing chuckled to herself for a moment, finding humor in her last comment, before immediately calming herself down once again to a professional demeanor, "But I would rather you all understand as much information as I am able to give you. There are some things I might not be able to answer, but I'm sure we won't run into that problem."
I DISAPPROVE HEAVILY OF THE RESULT.
"Take you to medical and try to fix you up a little, or at least get that new bruiser on your eye iced." Kathi replied straight away as she left the office with the human and Garrett, "Or... others are going to take you to medical." she eyed Garrett out of the corner of her eye, "While I'm most likely gonna get a talking to. Er, anyway." she turned to the guy and asked, "What's your name?" she wasn't gonna keep addressing him as the human, or the slave. That wouldn't be awkward at all. Nope.
Kathi nodded at the slaver, she was able to pay that amount fine, especially since they seemed to conclude on that. She decided to walked towards the office to sign the paperwork and the money. Jael was going to follow but he stopped when he heard Dania asked for an update. So Kathi kept going. She had no idea if the commander was going to follow, but she had a pretty good feeling he would. She made sure to put the rest of the money into the cat and corked it again, and she had the money on hand ready. She went into the office once invited, ready with her money to pay the agreed amount. Jael sighed deeply and took a step back and placed his hand up to the comm, "So, Ensign Rierson took matters into her own hands and bid on the human, now they're going through payment processes. Granted, I think this was probably a more peaceful route than what we intended, but we weren't expecting it." Jael was walking back to the ship and asked, "Is everyone accounted for right now? Everything needed to be bought, bought?"
The fee amount was far greater than she expected, she picked up the ceramic cat and turned it around to reveal a cork at the bottom. She opened it up and she caught the kuffles inside. She shuffled the coins around in her hand, she took out the coins that weren't kuffles. Kathi had about 10,000 yen in there, which she moved to her pocket so she wouldn't lose those, and she had 10 US dollars. When she moved away the unneeded currencies, including small amounts in different alien monies, until she was left with 155 kuffles. Kathi looked nervous and she didn't even look over at Garrett as she said in English, "Commander Garrett, I only have 155. I hadn't expected the fees to make it cost this much more..." Jael walked over at this point to listen to the interaction and heard Kathi's comment on the fees, Jael looked over at the ensign and asked, "How much was it in fees?" "30 for transfer. 80 for documentation." Kathi answered. Jael looked back at the booth and saw the clear written print that said 10 for transfer and 20 for documentation. He pointed to it and said in the trade common tongue, "This says 10 for transfer and 20 for documentation for all slaves. We should be paying that, but what if we payed 20 and 30 instead?" he figured that would at the very least make the alien not feel like he cut too big a loss. But Jael thought the alien was trying to take advantage of the difficulty of written trade common, and he didn't like that one bit.
