Nero Kunivas
Xehanort's Nobody
- Eleanor Le Doux, Fierce Shadow, Umbra - Vita City, Caravan Party -
Elrandir
Stardustblade358
Xion136
Mystics Apprentice
Thugs. How typical. Eleanor had followed the Somnum Maestra and company, electing to remain Unarmoured as to not draw attention as they escorted the real Mabel ahead of their body double, Makoto, in a relatively uneventful journey up until now. The aforementioned thugs made their demands and threats without delay and as such, were met in kind by Thea Nero in particular warning them of the consequences, while Jynn made a break for it with the undercover High Priestess in tow. The thugs didn't care and made their moves, attacking Nero and the others in spite of Arkane raising undead to scare and fight them off.
Eleanor elected to act in defense of all who were being assaulted, manifesting a dark aura about her person, crossing her arms together as darkness gathered in her hands and once it had reached its peak, she thrust her hands forward, unleashing several dark energy bolts that would cause some damage to all Ruffians, as well as distracting them or even better, drawing their attention her way as she unsheathed her dual blades, maintaining a menacing, visible aura of shadows around her.
- Soren Monroe, The Fractured Bulwark, Ignis - Sanctus Heights - HeartOfFerria , Thanny , Stardustblade358 , Elrandir , RikuXIII , Mystics Apprentice
Though the Bulwark had intended to assist the others in searching for the blue-haired man that was potentially behind the Dragon Automaton rousing to life, Soren had been distracted with initially trying to locate Everyth, in hopes of continuing their conversation. Alas, he was unsuccessful, as she was nowhere to be found. Soren conceded that she must be busy aiding in the search, the case itself or a personal matter. Perhaps fate would see fit to have them bump into one another again? Then again, perhaps fate will be so kind as to stop heaping disaster after disaster upon Sanctus Heights and its people. Wishing would not make either one so and thus, Soren would attend to the important matter at hand; to catch up with the search party and locate the blue-haired man.
As he walked though the streets of a recovering Sanctus Heights, Soren caught sight of the search party interrogating a blue-haired couple by the looks of things. When he motioned to approach, he, like several others, saw a blue-haired teen attempting to have nothing to do with this scene whatsoever but judging by the...floating eye-ball? Hmm. And the approaching Arun, the boy's escape was likely to end in failure. Whatever the case, Soren would also motion to apprehend the blue-haired teen, walking faster in his direction, as an indicator that he was not getting away from this.
- Laguna, The Maelstrom, Somnum - Skies above Aeternalis - Scrapmaster , Xion136 , Stardustblade358 , RikuXIII , Thanny , Mystics Apprentice
As usual, Laguna was waiting in the skies, this time above Aeternalis, watching just below the cloud layer for trouble, their keen eyesight capable of watching for any trouble and any such trouble was likely to cause a loud commotion regardless, one that they would be able to hear without trouble. However, a familiar crimson spirit shade stirred beside them, seemingly impatiently.
"Must you always wait and bide your time? On your own? Why not mingle with the masses or that pompous gorilla of a Maester? Dar-something?"
"Daruk. And with you constantly bothering me, I'm never alone. Times like this were a chance for peace and quiet for me, while also keeping an eye on the situation and an ear out for trouble. Now? I have to put up with...you."
"And what's wrong with me? Brother, Sister? Have I done anything to harm you?"
"Your very existence torments and offends me, Shade. Begone."
"That's very hurtful, "Laguna" and you should know better than to be so curt and dismissive! Especially when it's your mirror that's trying to help you."
"How can you be of any help to me?!"
"Well for starters, I can help you with some advice: You need an attitude adjustment, but more than that, you need to listen to me. The more you plug your ears and pretend I'm not there, the more you run away from not only the past and your true history, but from yourself. This legacy you're so ashamed of? You chose to be a part of it, you made your decisions and now you're in it for the long haul, Brother, Sister. You can still make things right when the time comes. Until then, I'll be here to prepare you. And to help you deal with these side-effects we're suffering. I mean, have you looked in a mirror lately?"
Laguna was silent for a few seconds, trying their best to refuse to acknowledge the Spectre, but couldn't deny their words no matter how much they wanted to, they couldn't rebuke the truth without dishonouring themselves and their legacy further. Then came the matter of the side-effects of the Spectre's presence...
"I caught a glimpse of myself in the waters of the lake before we made for Aeternalis...why is this happening?"
"Oh, now you ask me for something. Well, I'll tell you: It's what I've been telling you since I emerged...you need to face your past, you need to accept your role and most importantly: You need to stop hiding behind this moniker and that tacky mask."
"How can I? Even without these...effects, my face still bears the resemblance, the legacy of--"
"If you're able to be a hero to the masses, to make those that came before pay for what they did, to ensure that their return is met with naught but pain and resistance, it won't matter what you look like. The blood in your veins is less important than your deeds to the people. Besides, you're not the only one who bears the curse of the Blood of the Dark Ones."
"I know, I know...I just wonder where they are now...*sigh* I'm not ready to face them just yet. But...I will be. I have to try.
"Ah buh buh! No trying. Do!"
Laguna rolled their eyes, but did not deny what the Shade said, instead turning their attention back to the ground below, keeping an eye and ear out for trouble once again.
(I'm going to wait for Scrapmaster to post before doing anything with Gabriel, Ronin can wait and I need to find a good opportunity to introduce Merrymaker, but here's something I cooked up. : D)
