[b][u]Group One - Jasper, Ace, and Harper[/b][/u]

[b]"By the way, I know it might not be a physical item exactly, but maybe it's some old time-y music box."[/b]

That was a good idea. Harper straightened up and stared at the chirpy girl, a smile tugging on the corner's of his lips. "You know, that might work...in fact, that makes a lot of sense." He smiled, "nowhere is a weird place. Last time they told us to find a star and we wound up facing a kraken didn't we, Jasper? So now that they want us to find a song...it could be something simple." His brows furrowed in concentration before he gave them a nod. Without Hakuren or Mado on the group, he didn't feel as nervous. Jasper was nice and soft-spoken and Ace seemed like a very friendly person as well. 

[b]"Well what're we waiting for? Let's go, there's no time to waste!"[/b] Ace exclaimed.

Harper looked to Jasper then to Ace as he gave them a slight smile and an eager nod of the head. "Alright, but let's not split up, okay?" As soon as he had said that he followed after both girl and gave the guides and the members of group two a wave.

[b]"Ok, no funny business.. Let's go. Wait, where would you guys like to start first?" [/b]

Harper stared at the houses in the distance. "I think asking the villages would be a good idea," he didn't want to head back to the lake, not yet. "B-But, if you guys want to search the lake." The determined gleam reappeared in his eyes. "We can go there." The trio walked along and Harper pushed himself to be more friendly. In this world of nonsensical physics and crazy characters, the humans had to stick together because they only had each other now.

"Ace," he sounded uncertain but found his voice. "Before Cello brought you here, did you and Leon live at the castle?" If that was the case, he'd get to be friendly and ask the girl about the queen. "It's really interesting there, isn't it...and I'm, um, sorry about how blunt Hakuren was." He wasn't good at all this talking stuff. 

[b][u]Group Two - Hakuren, Leila, Mado, and Leon[/b][/u]

[b]"...the throat of the sirens...cage them, and make them sing....rip out their vocal cords if they refuse...make them scream... sooner or later the song will come...."[/b]

Serenade feared the worst. Mado wasn't exactly the most stable person and back on the Shakespearean, she had nearly killed Viola and a few others. Still, Hakuren was taking the lead and his planning sounded good, smart even. She liked the sound of it and decided that maybe he wasn't so bad when things got serious. However, Leon addressed one of the flaws in his plans and Serenade nodded before she called out to them.

"You could tell them another group was sent to the north side." She pointed at the retreating figures of group one then gave Hakuren, Leon, Leila and Mado a smile. "Good idea, Haku, keep it up." The she pulled him aside for a moment and spoke in a low whisper. "Please keep Mado out of trouble. I'll be trusting you to keep everyone safe." She gave him a tap on the shoulder then sent him back towards the others. "Give Leon a warm welcome and stay safe, okay? I'll be looking through the records with the other guides...we'll meet back at the cabin before nightfall."
