The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Why did everyone think she was so reckless? Ace grinned at Harper and Inadi as she leaned out the doorway. "Don't worry, don't worry...Careful is my middle name!" She turned her attention to Riley and stuck her tongue out childishly. "I don't know what you guys are worrying about. I am the safest person here." She couldn't even say that one with a straight face. The redhead laughed and watched as Riley took off.

She gave a final salute to the others and then grinned. "You guys have fun! I must go before Riley gets us all lost!" With that, she turned or heel and bounded off after the girl with Toby, Ran, and Japhet in tow. Though, instead of running after to prove that she wasn't some moldy piece of food, she paused and noticed a few hoverboards going in the opposite direction of where Riley was heading. With a laugh, she yelled out. "Hey! You're going the wrong way!" She pointed to the people zooming past and then turned to follow them. It wasn't like they knew which way north was though, so she decided to let that teasing slide for now.

That gave whoever wasn't chasing after them in the group, a 'head start' in the race Riley proclaimed. Realizing she wanted to save her energy for the competition, she slowed to more of a jog, especially after seeing two people turn into the park across the street from them. "Destination, dead ahead!" She called out before rushing across, not bothering to wait for some sort of sign to tell them when to cross. Luckily, she didn't get hit with anything- nor did she cause an accident behind her. Of course Ace didn't think about those consequences though.

"This place is...awesome!"

It somewhat reminded her of a skate park, with all the people on hoverboards flying around and doing tricks. Only did it then occur to her, "If we're going to be in this competition, shouldn't we have hoverboards?" It was part, just her want to have a hoverboard and part, she really did want to participate in the competition. But without the proper equipment, she couldn't do that!

"Maybe I can go bribe someone to give me their board...And then give it back- never."

You're skipping out on this cycle for the next? Hmm, yeah, that's understandable. My post would just give more for you to react to so, okay.
I'll get to making a post then.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Luro said "Announcer! I'm out of rum so I'm going to get some more now! You can name Tashigi the winner!"

Everyone's reaction:


Haha I'm going to have fun using the announcer for this post- actually you just made the next post like 10x more hilarious Mizos.

And hi Thor. Glad to see you're back. And hope those lazy spouts don't keep you away too long. Haha, those awesome pictures were only from me and Winter...going back and forth....for absolutely no reason. All additions would have worked! Ha, topped it off with a video too.

Hi guys, how's it going?

Pirate Age

Ha, thank you for posting. I thought I was going to have to drag you back.



But, yeah, you have school business to take care of. Just try to let me know if you have to miss a posting cycle. Apology accepted. Let's try to keeo that at a minimum though.

The Power of The Fallen ~ PopeAlessandros x AkiBlue

The angel in the center of the room barely noticed the new presence. She was busy at work, creating a new mirror. Thankfully, she wasn't busy enough to ignore the medic angel that came in. As she pulled out the perfectly shaped mirror using her tools, her eyes met Fenrir, who was looking at one of the mirrors. "Oh, what a surprise. How can I help you?" Normally, ones that walked in obviously needed something done for their mirrors or they were in need of one in general. But seeing as Jezebel had never seen Fenrir around this part of the place, she assumed he might have needed a little more help.

"I just," Fenrir pulled out the mirror he possessed, staying calm as he could. This was his only chance. Any slip now could have resulted in the mirror being taken from him or worse, him being accused of a crime. Someone walked past, making him freeze. Though, fortunately that angel was also in too much of a hurry to care. He held up the mirror as he continued. "I was just wondering if you had time to add sound in this mirror." The female angel across from him set her tools down and walked over to take the mirror in his hands. She didn't bother to glance inside to see who he wanted to listen to. Whoever it was, was important to Fenrir and that was his business. Either way, her business required the back of the mirror in the first place.

No one ever paid much attention to the backs of the mirrors, so people didn't really notice the different, small detailed designs on them. Designs to others, but an encryption for Jezebel, her fingers touched the design causing it to glow faintly. "It's one of the easier parts. Especially with smaller mirrors." The angel informed. In a sense, it was as if she was unlocking the mirror through the encryption. It took less than three minutes to do. While Fenrir waited, he glanced over at the mirrors that were propped up and then the ones on the shelves.

Most of them only showed his reflection, but others, he could catch glimpses of humans going about their daily lives. They weren't being tormented by demons or beasts. . . They were normal. Why couldn't Aoba be like that? Why couldn't he live a normal life?

"Here you go. All nice and done. Just give it time to adjust and register. It'll probably take," She took a quick glance at the screen, noticing a farm, before handing it back. "A lot of space, so it'll take some time to adjust." Fenrir stayed calm, even more so when Jezebel didn't notice the picture clearly.

"Thank you. I appreciate it." He nodded and started to leave. The female angel went back to her large pot and then tilted her head a little. Something wasn't right about that farm. . . Maybe she was just imagining things.

They finally were at the end, and he happily moved off to the side and out of the way for Kuro to finish it up. He patted the beast's side and then sat on the ground. "That was a lot of work." He mumbled and glanced over at Dani. He was petting Dicxson and it appeared he was about to take the harnesses off. Well, until Kuro called him. Aoba's wings visibly slumped downward and he sighed. "Well. . . I can do it." He started, though it was obvious that he really didn't want to.

Dani rolled his eyes and flicked the angel on the back of the head. The action earned a surprised 'ow' from Aoba. "If you're going to lie, at least sound believable." The angel rubbed the back of his head and pouted a little, but stayed quiet. "Obviously the toy here doesn't want to. Just finish it. Besides, I already started removing the harness off of Dicxson." He rolled his eyes before walking back and doing what he said he started. Aoba's nose wrinkled a bit, but he stayed seated on the ground. Dicxson decided to lower his head and nudge the angel, pushing him forward a little.

When Realms Collide {AkiBlue & PopeAlessandros}

The muffled sounds of laughter came from the other side of the door around the same time Seishu finally set him free. The Dream Guardian sat up, letting the pigment in his cheeks fade before glancing over at Seishu from over his shoulder. "Clearly, it's time to go." He shifted off the bed, getting up and then walked over to Seishu's side in order to help him. "It's nice to know, they're all getting along so well. Just for the sake of keeping you healthy." He smiled and walked them to the door. "Heh, I'm a little jealous of all the attention you get." It was a slight tease, but in some aspects it was sort of true. The notion was quick, yet even so, some of that negative energy managed to sneak off Enasi and find its way into the Nightmare Guardian. "You're very spec-" The door opened, courtesy of Rasha, and the little ones bounced closer. "Hello you all."

Each gave their own different greeting, like a nod from Crios or a salute from the siblings and Enasi smiled brightly at them all. "Everything is all set and ready, yes?" Enasi turned his gaze to Harper who had nodded in response.

"All that needs to be done, is to create the portal. And a quick scope around. I'll do that now. Starla, Finn." The siblings followed a little ways behind the rabbit, only moving a few feet down the hall for more room. While he did that, Crios and Cho stepped forward. Simultaneously, both approached each guardian.

"I made you a small snack!"

"Last check up before you go." Crios separated the two guardians, albeit rather gently, and led Seishu back into the room. He closed the door behind them, and Enasi only assumed it was because he wanted to make the procedure quick. Crios on the other hand, didn't want anyone worrying about his extra precautions. If Enasi knew and began to worry as he got into the other realm, that would have been detrimental to his health. If any of the minions knee, they'd try and stop the guardian from going in the first place. In Crios' mind, it was a lose - lose situation. Either way, Enasi had to escort Seishu around the Nightmare Realm.

"The snack is if you get a little hungry and you don't want to eat the bitter stuff." He spoke playfully before leaning in to whisper. "And I wouldn't know if they would hospitable enough to feed you. I'm sure Mister Seishu would take care of that though. Also, it's laced with enough positive energy, just in case you get a little sick. Gotta be careful you know!" Enasi laughed softly and held onto the small bag he was given.

"Thank you Cho. I appreciate it." He smiled and looked a little surprised as Cho hugged him. With a small laugh, he patted the chef's back. "I'll be fine. I promise." He hugged him and nodded. He gave Inui and Rue hugs before they could tackle him with hugs as well. "You guys won't be coming with us this time." This made way for some upset faces, but Enasi only smiled. "We'll be back before you know it." Rasha got a hug as well before Enasi looked over when Harper walked forward. The bag was placed securely in his hood and he nodded once more.

"Alright. All we need to do is wait for Seish-" He turned, hearing the door open and Crios walking out with Seishu. "Oh good, he's well and ready to go?" He got a nod from Crios and he smiled before taking his place at Seishu's side in order to walk him through the portal. . .even if it wasn't necessary.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

"Where are those two?"

"How should I know?"

"Check from higher ground you doof." Starla searched around, trying to find Lan and Ran. They were suppose to be passing the Guardians off to them. Sure they might have been a little early, but that didn't mean those two couldn't be around. The girl huffed and continued searching. Finn on the other hand was sitting in a tree calmly, sure the two would be there soon. This was an important matter. No one would just skip out on something like this. In fact, the nightmares were probably more excited about the event then the dreams were.

It was practically a role reversal. The nightmares didn't have to worry about Seishu being in a foreign realm, but now the dreams had to. "Please stay safe. . ." Finn didn't realize he had said it aloud until Starla huffed.
"You mean, they better keep him safe. Those nightmares know just as well as us what happens when the Guardians are injured." Finn merely rolled his eyes, and looked over at the portal not too far away.

"Relax would you? We have to be calm for Lord Enasi."

The match started and Runali lifted her hood up a little more to see better. She leaned against the railing in front of her, wondering what her shipwright could possibly be chatting about to his two opponents. She could only imagine. And noticing the bottles of rum, she couldn't assume it made that much sense. Then again, Luro never really did make sense. But it made him all the more amusing. Well, at least he was being friendly. It was less guaranteed that the three would go for kills.

Something...interesting happened right after. Luro decided to fight Ryu on his own. Surprisingly enough, the one known as Bow Black even sat by to let him fight. She even looked patient. "Tch, of course he would ask to fight the fishman alone." The fight between the two was interesting enough. Besides the matches before, she had never seen a fishman fight. Although, because most of them were different species of fish, they all had different styles of fighting. Ikaros Ryu was no different, and he was the only octopus type fishman she had seen throughout the whole tournament.

Danny and Ray were cheering away next to her and she looked up when a shadow casted over her. Spotting Nolan, she gave a two finger salute. "Care to join us?" Her expression changed to a more confused one when she noticed his expression. "What's wrong? Run into some trouble? Need us to throw some rats into the ocean?" As she spoke, she looked back at the match taking place though glancing over at Nolan every once in awhile to show she was listening.

Danny overheard and jumped up, hitting her palm with her fist. "Do we need to rough anyone up? I'm all for it, especially if they are messing with our crew!" Ray's attention turned to Nolan, hearing about a potential ruffian that was disturbing one of his crew members' peace. He wasn't as animated as Danny, nor did he voice out his concern. But he did wait for an answer from the chef.

The announcer and the crowd roared and cheered as Luro took down Ryu. And then Alicia delivered the final blow. "Whoa...Two left. Come on Luro. You can win this."

It wasn't about the money for them. The StarDusk pirates came up with a hefty sum in the past few weeks. This fight was all about pride- not saying a few extra dollars to spend wouldn't be nice. "This should be a good fight." The announcer rambled on and on about the fight, reminding them of the winnings and making the crowd even more rowdy.

"You guys should really try these snacks. Never heard of some of these, but they're great." Runali noted as she bought another one of the snacks she once again forgot the name of.
