The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Glad to hear everyone approving of the marking plan, Ace happily accepted the stone that she offered. As they went along, the red head would stop every so often and put three diagonal scratches on the trees, but upon Brandy suggesting that it would be of no use, Ace chucked the rock a few feet away. Well that really sucked. The best they could do is to keep walking and home that they hit something that looks different.

Lesley must've not heard the memo because he came up to Ace a little after and gave her a trident before scuttling off for some unknown reason. His scream was enough to get her gripping Songbird's arm even tighter. "S-so, how was it the last time you were here?" She asked him as she tried to get her attention off of their whole situation.

Meanwhile, she started to feel like someone was following them. Huddling even closer to the white-haired guide, she shrunk herself against his arm like a little girl walking through a fake haunted house with her dad. Suddenly, she felt a cold breeze against the back of her neck, almost like a freezing hand swiped at her, but ran away. "AH!" Her surprised shout was shrill and her hands automatically grabbed the back of her neck. She scrunched her face at Hakuren who noticed her expression and explained it wasn't him. "Yeah right!" She pouted with a grouchy expression. Behind him, she noticed a tree with three gashes on it, but it was directly on the path. "Uh-umm guys? Tell me that tree was there before.." Asking this, she never remembered a tree being there, especially one with three gash marks.

As everyone was inspecting the mysterious tree, a rustle behind them caught her attention. Squinting a bit at the bush, she was about to ignore it when the same cat that ran past Ace popped out and bared its fangs at her. This was her last straw, her heart stopped for a millisecond before she ran farther up the path, getting stopped by a dozen hands that grabbed at her arms and legs, halting her from moving. Eyes closed, the let out an ear-shattering scream, tears beginning to well up. Little did she know, she just stumbled into an area full of dark vines and webs.

Yayyy! So we get legit relationship building time? Ok, ok. Let the friendship making continue! Will post tomorrow hopefully. Night all :)

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Looking up at him like a lost puppy with some puke spit trailing down her chin, she cringed and shrunk away from him as he tossed his head back and began to scream. Observing him in fear, she couldn't help but jump a little when he abruptly stopped and gave her a death stare. She honestly couldn't blame him and was relieved when Ace came and helped her get cleaned up. 'It was his fault to begin with. Asking all those weird questions...' The albino was trying to justify why she had ended up doing that. It wasn't like she could help it in anyway, plus she had no control over Lesley's hand, so why didn't he just move it? But to no avail, she still felt very guilty for doing that and decided to apologize to him until the dragons announced that they were going to receive blessings.

Taking her spot in the forming human crowd, she was about to open her mouth and say sorry when Lesley neared her, but he just gave her a smug look and stomped off. She couldn't blame him really. Even she would feel the same way if someone threw up on her. Once the clouds were lifted and the healings were received, she finally had the chance to feel somewhat happy again. Taking a quick glance at Inadi's arm, she was pleased to find that it was all fixed up and healthy again. But her pleasant feelings were cut short when the Grandma dragon started to yell at her. Backing away for her own sake, she held her breath the entire span of the scolding and was thankful towards the other two dragon couple for stopping her.

The dragons went on to explain how hard it would be to actually eliminate the witches and Harper decided he would openly throw everyone into the bloodbath. Jasper felt like she was going to collapse right there. They got the Dragon's Laugh alright, but what was the use if they were just going to die on the next mission. It was obvious how powerful the witches were. Even dragons were no match for them. The Living List stated it and there was no returning to Earth if it wasn't complete, so this was it. The start of another journey.

Time resting in Sol was more saddening than fulfilling. There they found out what had become of Vince and during the funeral, Jasper basically zoned out and wasn't willing to mentally accept any more human fatalities. Not that they were close in anyway, just the fact the people just kept dying. Coming and going. She thought, 'When is my time to go? Could it be during this quest?'

---

Aimlessly walking through an eerie forest where most just disappeared forever wasn't exactly the most enjoyable thing. Their compass had also stopped working and their map had been swept away, never to be found again. Jasper didn't dare trail along the back, she made sure she was fully surrounded at all times, mostly near the guides who were far more skilled than the others. Someone had also mentioned to them that Songbird and Avian had been to the dark side before so she took some comfort from that. The creepiness doubled when everyone realized that they were all basically wandering around in circles. This was starting to really give her an unsettling feeling. What made it even more irky was that Ace was skipping along happily in front chanting some children's Halloween song making this the perfect setting for a horror movie.

Hakuren suggested her as possible sacrifice and she didn't even bother objecting. Right now, death sounded better than continuing to go on this ridiculous quests, continually putting her life on the line for a shot at getting home. "Marking the path sounds good.." she agreed in a whisper, like unwanted listeners were eavesdropping on them. The forest was so dreary, yet alive. Scuttling here and there. Shadows dashing among the trees every now and then, making her yelp and latch herself onto Songbird's sleeve. Usually she would hate to make physical contact, but in times of intense fear, it didn't really matter. And he probably had way more experience in this part of Nowhere more than anyone else besides Avian.

In any other setting, she would have suggested splitting up and seeing where each one would end up, then call on the others if one found a different path, but that plan was just not the most ideal thing to do and would put every pair in grave danger. Upon seeing a sharp stone on the ground, she picked it up and offered it to Ace, "You can use this to mark the tree bark."

DUNDUNDUN.. witches. Yeah, Fox. Dat surprise was totes awesome -_- Dem wotches sound OP. We should have dragons with right? Muahhahhahaha. I call ripping it out of their chests! *flails hand up in the air*

Jasper: *attempts to yank Kimchi's arm down*
Kimchi: *swats Jasper's hands away* Stahp it gurl. Dis is for your own improvement. I really think physically ripping a witches heart out with your own hands will only serve to make you stronger. Don't worry! (030)/
Jasper: *worrying and on the verge of crying*

Mehheheheh. So the surprise isn't all that bad (just wants to torture my own character)

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

MUHAHAHAAJAJJAJAJA. Nothing better than adding more wood to a raging fire. Take some upchuck LESLEY! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Nuuuu Foxeh WHYYYYY *tumbles down to the kitchen to ravage the pantry* Anyways, I hate surprises. More evil forces coming our way isn't it? More charactering tormenting? It seems like your surprises mainly consist of those things

"More Fox surprises? NUUUUUU!!"

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

As she moved on to take care of Ace, the girl was trying to reject her examination at first, but gave in eventually due to Jasper's insisting.

"Maybe you should relax. You look drained- oh look, and you're necklace is drained. I don't think it's a coincidence. Take a break for a moment."

She was glad that the others showed care and concern over her just as much as she felt the natural obligation to baby them all because of the power she ended up with. Nodding, she was definitely planning on getting a good rest after all this was over, but she had a feeling they would be on that mountain for a lot longer. Fighting a pair of old hags maybe? Hopefully not. As the dragoons and their guides had said, "They can kill you with a snap of their fingers." That being told, she realized that it wouldn't be much of a fair fight if they just dropped dead the moment they initiated a confrontation.

"You could always eat the witches you know. Quick and easy kill. And a lunch! It'll save the nobodies having to deal with their creepy witch magic. Annnd, you guys won't turn evil again! See? Perfect plan!" Ace suggested.

Jasper almost laughed. It sounded like a pretty decent plan and it would for sure save them a whole lot of trouble.

She moved onto Lesley who held somewhat of a cross face towards her though she mostly tried to ignore it.

"Don't worry dear. I'm in tip-top shape!" he chimed.

His sudden change in aura made her jump a little and she let out a short, nervous laugh. Cringing and shrinking into herself as he began to snake an arm around her shoulders, she stood as still as statue as he began to rotate her body. At first she wasn't exactly sure on what they were looking at, but as he flicked a hand towards Inadi, who was currently sitting on a rock inspecting his spear, she looked at the boy, but was rather confused as to why Lesley had brought him to her attention.

"A handsome man isn't he?" Lesley suddenly said.

Jasper reddened a bit and tensed up as she examined Inadi from head toe. I guess you could say that she was checking him out. She never particularly noticed whether one person stood out in front of the other in terms of attraction since she never really established her 'ideal type' due to her recluse personality on earth. But she didn't think Inadi looked undesirable either. 'Wait, why is he asking me about this again?' she thought as her puzzlement grew.

The pink haired man seemed to peek down at her face for moment before returning his gaze to Inadi whilst continuing his questioning. "Fancy him at all? I mean, how couldn't you? He's so unknowing and to himself. Doesn't his mystery just reel you in?" The man then proceeded to lick what seemed like drool from his lips before gulping.

Jasper blinked rapidly and sweat drops began to bead out on her forehead along with her hands which were beginning to feel clammy. She felt his burning, inquiring eyes on her so she tried to look focused on staring at Inadi instead, too nervous to meet his speculating sight. Pulling slightly at the collar of her shirt, which was starting feel like it was choking her up, Jasper cleared her throat, "Ah-ahem." Her eyeballs were still examining Inadi and possible answers to his questions were racing through her head. Just thinking and trying to figure out how to respond correctly was getting her all riled up and paranoid. What if she responded weird and he started to think something that wasn't exactly true?

Meanwhile, Inadi seemed to have caught on that a couple of stares were being directed at him as he launched curious peeks at them from time to time. This only served to freak her out even more as the racing inside her head began to speed up, making her feel dizzy and light headed.

"Uh..uhhhh..uhmmm. W-wuh-well.." she couldn't even speak straight as she felt as if she was about to topple over like a domino. This kind of intense interrogation, especially about 'crush' related type things, mixed with her innate paranoia and indecisive behaviors made for the perfect concoction on giving Jasper a hardcore mental breakdown.

She never saw it coming. Next thing she knew, she was bent over throwing up on Lesley's out stretched hand out of feelings that somehow morphed into pure fear at a point in time of which she had no knowledge. To be honest, she couldn't even remember feeling nauseated first. She only knew that she had just involuntarily began puking on this poor man's hand. Stomach convulsing as it emptied and let out nothing but air, it seemed like Lesley had frozen into place out of shock because he didn't move his hand away until she had finished, his cupped hand dripping in unnamed, half digested food.
