The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Ha, why exactly am I being thanked? I didn't do anything. :P Though, people may need a warning when you arrive.

Pirate Age

I was hoping someone would approach the NPC. Well, unless Groth does it'll, I'll be the one to do so. No worries, I can make it work.

Those tests are inevitable, but we'll get through them... at different times. Considering mine are around the end of November, beginning of December ish.

Note: Prince's post was a small jump in time that his character walked inside the tavern. To add more to react to and such.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

For a few minutes, Ace decided to sit up in the tree and watch one of the large screens. It was partially because it did kind of hurt to fall in a tree. The medics came in to make sure she was alright, and ended up taking her on a floating stretcher. Ace was fine, but they wanted to be sure. Seeing Ri win made her frown, but she sighed. "Oh well. Guess Lavi will have to beat her next race." She saluted Jay and Lavi as she hopped off the stretcher. The medics managed to bandage a scratch on her leg before she ran off.

"That's one strange human."

"They're human. What do you expect?"

The redhead hobbled to her friends, draping an arm around Riley and Toby. "That was amazing!" They walked off to the museum and Ace laughed. "You three had some crazy flying going on. You nearly killed a couple of people, but all in all, fun!" They met the other group, paint stained and all. With a teasing grin, she looked at Jasper. "The color suits you. All of you at that." She laughed and took her hat from Japhet, settling it back on her head. "Thanks for watching this."

While they all regrouped to talk about their time together. "I was so close too! I could've had a hoverboard to keep. Stupid EMP dart fried the system." The sudden yelling made Ace turn her head. Seeing the terrified nobodies made her raise an eyebrow when the Lieutenant stomped forward. "Someone's a tad feisty..."

Next thing the group knew, the soldiers were telling them that the USB thing was stolen. Whatever it was, it was important to them. "Way to go guys. Our job just got more complicated." She grinned and stretched her arms over her head. "Play time is over then. Know who stole it? And where we can get some weapons...since Inadi is the only one that got to keep his staff. Which is still not fair." She huffed but pushed it aside for the time being. They wouldn't let her keep a weapon anyway. Something about being 'too dangerous'.

The letter they pulled out was all crumpled and hard to read thanks to the green crayon. "Have tea? Do you think they'll have cookies too? I mean...even though they'll probably attack us. Again." Ace then tilted her head as she read the instructions. "These are the same hood wearing guys that keep trying to stop us right?" She shrugged, not caring either way. "Alrighty people. We can't just stand around here. Let's go get the UBS- er, USB thingy. Information thing." As usual, she planned to bound forward, until she realized she had no idea where they are going.

"Soldier guys, lead the way! We're wasting daylight!" They had finished their games after all. If they were planning on sitting around after, Ace knew she'd get bored fast.

Something then dawned on her. "The dark side? You mean that place we were in that was dark all the time and had dead things and a witch and a haunted mansion and various other things that might freak the others out if I keep talking about them? That dark side orrrr is it somewhere totally different?" Either way, going to somewhere with the tag of 'dark side' sounded as if they'd need weapons. And having her amulet again sounded like a fun deal, unless they came up with something even more interesting.

Everyone's so busy lately. That sucks. But thanks for letting me know.

Never Ending Battle ~ PopeAlessandros x AkiBlue

"Young Lord, it's time for you to get ready. The Emperor himself sent us to make sure you got ready." Two servant women slid open the doors into a large room. Around the room, designs were painted on the walls. As a whole, it was a large mural of a serene garden. There was a tiger in one section hidden in the grass, and that was the one thing that stood out in the peaceful garden. One wall, the wall aligned with the door was the only wall that hadn't been given some sort of flare. One of the women, the more pudgy one, stepped forward and opened the red silky drapes that shielded the bed. "Come now, we've made your bath already. Wouldn't want it to get cold now, would we?" She looked down at the lump under the white blanket and smiled a little when it shifted slowly.

"Alright, alright," A yawning voice came from under the blanket. When it was removed, it revealed the jet black mess of hair, making the servant smile more. "I'm up Kaede, I'm up." A hand ruffled the hair and the prince slowly sat up.

"Just as always. Why is it that only during important events must you stay up so late and sleep in?" The woman known as Kaede pulled the rest of the blanket off of the prince and as he sat up, she pushed his sandals where he could slide into them. She pulled a plush robe off of the end of the bed and held it up for him to put on. "Come on now. You're expected to be on time Hironori." The prince sighed and nodded to Kaede. She was basically his maternal figure when his mother died. Before his father remarried, Kaede took charge in order to help the Emperor. When he got up, Kaede gestured for the second lady to begin cleaning up the room while she made sure the prince didn't take his sweet time.

Only a week before, he had been given the news that he would be married off to a so called war hero. It was all so sudden. First he was living a rather normal royal life and then all of a sudden, he was being reminded and retaught the royal manner and the skills to be a good Emperor over and over again. "This is for your own good. You must know these things when you take over the kingdom with your spouse." His father would repeatedly remind him of his new responsibilities making him sigh.

Hironori, or Hiro as he liked to be called, would then speak up about this marriage he was being thrown into. "Don't you think it's a little unfair, or at least odd to be married to someone you don't know? I understand it's a tradition. . . But what if we aren't compatible? What if he- I don't know- is just a brute!" He never approved of war and the idea of marrying someone that only lived for killing wasn't very. . .ideal. Then again, Hiro wasn't expecting to get married so soon. He thought he had plenty of time to at least. . .live a little. Every time he brought up his distaste, his father would remind him of the tradition and Hiro knew he could do nothing about it.

And a week later, there he was, getting ready to meet the man he was to marry. "What if he's. . .horrible? Or didn't realize that he wasn't marrying a princess or something?" Hiro was ignored and was tossed a towel to dry off. "It's possible. . ." Kaede passed him, looking for his formal attire while he continued to complain.

"A tradition is a tradition young prince. You know this."

Hiro sighed as he slipped on his haori and hakama. The haori was a deep red color with hints of gold designing it. He put on his sandals, prepared to walk out, but was stopped by his servant. "Wait, wait." He raised an eyebrow, but noticed the golden clip in order to pull his hair back from his face. "Let them see your eyes." He smiled and hurried off to his parents as they prepared to leave for to greet Hiro's betrothed. One of the servants mentioned preparing a large breakfast for the guests, so Hiro didn't bother rushing out to grab anything to eat. Instead, he slipped right at his mother's side as they began to walk out.

"You're late Hiro."

"The door hasn't opened yet." He smirked and kissed his mother's cheek and walked out the door with his family. As they walked out, the first two people looked rather old to be married to him, but seeing another step forward, Hiro couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as the male known as Moranaga Akito looked at his parents, and then to him. He raised an eyebrow, giving a look of curiosity. 'He doesn't look like a brute. . . He is rather cute actually. That's two things I can cross off the list.' His attention turned to his father as he stepped forward with open arms and a welcoming smile.

"Welcome to our home. Your new home as well. Come, come it's still early, we have a feast prepared!" He was cheerful as ever, gesturing Akito to follow the royal family while the servants took care of the others. Hiro followed quietly, walking alongside his step mother. She looked up her son and smiled to him.

"Give him a chance, please? At least do it for your father." Hiro nodded and followed them, staying quiet for the most part, at least until they sat down to eat. He was sure his father would start up a conversation to make the male talk.

The Power of The Fallen ~ PopeAlessandros x AkiBlue

Aoba gave a sigh of relief and nodded towards the assurance. His cute little baby animals would be safe. As much as he trusted Dani. . .he didn't trust Dani. He confused the angel a lot with his bipolar personality. Nonetheless, as Dani grumbled and walked away, Aoba humbly apologized. Dani didn't respond, but he also didn't growl and grumble, so, Aoba took it as an acceptance unless otherwise stated. Right after, Kuro lead him out of the barn and back into the sunlight. As he was scooped up, he immediately clung to Kuro. Even though he knew Kuro wouldn't drop him and he could easily catch himself if that ever happened, the feeling of falling was less than pleasant.

When they were down, he nodded to Kuro. "Clothes first, then. . . You know, we still have to fix the door." He reminded before taking another glance at Kuro's clothes. "Clothes first. Definitely." He nodded and walked out towards the store. For some reason, small children and dogs were all extremely friendly to him. It made him smile as he would wave to a child or pet a happy dog. He also noticed Kuro keeping his distance and the odd looks that he was given from older humans. And then, when they were walking side by side, he noticed that they both were given odd looks. Not to mention weird looks from the teens. Humans were really judgemental apparently.

Aoba brushed off the thoughts as he walked into the much cooler store. For a few minutes, Aoba followed Kuro around, wondering what he would get but afterwards he wandered around look at other clothing. The fallen angel had to admit, some of the clothing styles in the store were quite. . .eccentric, to be nice. The odd patterns and colors made his nose wrinkle, but he didn't want to come off as rude so he set them back where they belonged. "Hm? Oh, alright." He walked back to Kuro's side, looking at the clothes he was standing in front of. Aoba examined each shirt and then glanced at Kuro as if picturing the items on him. "I don't know, these don't really seem like something you'd wear."

He gave a small shrug and pointed to the shirt in Kuro's hand. "Not that one?" He scanned around the store again. Aoba pointed to a pair of shirts that were slightly darker in color compared to the ones they were near. "How about those?"

The women working in the store watched the two. There were others in the store, only a handful, but they still decided to keep their space. Aoba didn't pay much attention to them, at least not until one older male cleared his throat, trying to pass the two. "Excuse me." The fallen angel looked up and quickly moved out of his way and right after, he went about helping Kuro.

When Realms Collide {AkiBlue & PopeAlessandros}

Enasi giggled lightly and ended up kissing the male back. He raised an eyebrow towards Seishu's comment after pulling away, only to notice his hair draping and curling around him. He gave a small grin and lifted his hand to run his fingers through his curtain of hair. It was something he found very nice. It was so soft and white, and for some reason he preferred it to be so long. Without much thought, he spoke up, still running fingers through the white locks. "I think all of you is beautiful, not just your hair."

He looked a little confused as to why Seishu pulled away, but instead he watched him. His wings opened up, but instead of flying into the sky, lights took refuge in them. The sight alone was stunning and it made Enasi more curious as to what was going on. He was about to step forward, only to find himself being pushed onto a large plush. He looked down at it, pressing into it much like a cat would before crossing his legs and sitting down.

Fine, I'll wait and watch. Either way, I'll get my answer.

He blinked as he noticed the wardrobe change. And for a moment, he couldn't help but stare, even if it was only for a short amount of time. Seishu began to dance and Enasi gave a look of surprise realizing he was putting on a show. The dance mesmerized the red haired male. Enasi watched in awe. A light blush dusted his cheeks when he made eye contact with those silver eyes. He averted his gaze and watched as the wind blew through the field of flowers. As Seishu danced, petals of blue and gold floated in the wind, moving around Seishu in a fluent movement.

This is definitely a dance I could not join him in. . . If anything, I'd much rather watch than participate. . .

Pirate Age

Following the wave of the crowd, Runali and Risa stepped back to create a path for the mystery person. They were at the end of the newly created path, so they got to see him off- and hear some very useful information. "The Glimmering Tin Tavern, huh..." Was she really going to see who this random stranger turned out to be? It was possible.

"You couldn't possibly want to go there. The man just killed someone! Are you insane!?" Risa pointed out the damage the stranger had caused. She further pointed out how terrified some of the others looked.

"Well. I'm a pirate. So...it's an occupational hazard." Risa merely sighed at the strange comment. How in the world did she get tangled up with some pirates. Then she thought about her quite 'majestic' fall from the sky and rubbed her shoulder. "Found that tavern you were looking for Luro." She mentioned, even though he would probably end up following Risa if she didn't tag along with them. She had a slightly smug look on her face as Ray mentioned it right after. Before she could go, Runali turned to Nolan and Danny trying to save a dying man. "You two," She called out to them. Her voice was empathetic, but the look she gave was blank. "You can't save them all. We're pirates remember? And that's not our business." She gave a final nod before following Luro and Ray to the Glimmering Tin Tavern.

Before they could go off too far, Risa mentally whined but hurried with them. "You guys don't even know where that is. I'll...I'll show you a shorter way to get there." Something about the StarDusk pirates made her want to stick around. It was that, or Luro's odd eye contact every time he spoke to her caused some weird hypnotic delusion that she had to stick around him until he said she wasn't needed. She changed their course, heading East as the Rookie Judge went forward. She whistled as a vehicle came close, resembling an open shuttle bus. "It'll get us there faster than on foot." The driver oddly enough was robotic, fixxed so it only tipped it's blue metal hat at every stop and drove off after a few seconds of waiting.

"This definitely beats walking everywhere." Runali stood on the bus, holding on to a railing. "Why hasn't this tech been shipped to different islands yet?"

Risa had taken a seat, watching as they admired the sites. "Well. As my father told me. It has to be approved useful by the government. When it is, we have to show their teams how to make them and- well it's a long process, but it's slowly coming around. How do you guys think those communicators got on to the ships?" The captain had seen many of those devices before, but she never felt the need to get one for their ship. Maybe they would one day. Maybe they could even add it with the repairs to the ship.

It took no more than five minutes to get to the Tavern. "I don't think I really want to go in there.... They're normally full of drunken riled up men." As the captain hopped off the bus she walked past and casually pushed Risa along with them.

"Don't worry. If anything happens. Luro can be in charge of protecting you." Risa didn't know why this caused a faint blush to appear on her cheeks, but she followed the crew in nonetheless. "You know...the last few times I've been in a tavern, a fight broke out." Runali crossed her arms. "When I met Kai there was a bar fight, and even that time on Hara island- oh if I never mentioned that one to you guys. Heh, I may have started that fight. Let's hope that isn't some curse of mine."

When the crew entered the bar (unless they decided to venture off elsewhere), there was a handful of people inside, drinking away and being rather loud. But that was normal for a drunken group of people. The captain plopped into a seat at the bar, ordering a drink. She didn't drink very often, and all the rum and sake and other various drinks on the ship was left to everyone else. Now, they were left to wait for this mysterious person. It left Runali wondering in amusement, why the three of them specifically were so interested in seeking out this Judge- knowing little to nothing about him.

Soo, I'm going to be busy today. I'll have a post later today. You have my word.
