If a GM wants to, I'm set up for the brown cloaked figure to have a talk with Hoshi.

Bio
Not born in a log cabin, I came into the RPing venture around 2009 and quickly joined about twenty roleplays more than I should have at the time. I've been around the internet in that time span, participated in and run RPs on multiple forums, and brushed shoulders with a wide variety of players and characters. Getting to work with new people has always been part of the allure of the experience.
My interests in RPing are pretty diverse, and not genre-specific; if there's room at the table and I can think of a dish to serve, I'll cook something up for just about any meal. If you know what I mean.

Hoshi could barely contain herslf. A ship that could get off world had literally fallen from the sky. The owner was seemingly on the level. And to boot, he was able and willing to bring people with him when he left. Thoughts of the raft had all but evaporated from her train of thought as she shivered and smiled. Maybe, if they got off the Islands, they could even get their own ship; finding Tsu would be a breeze.
The one issue, however minor, was the limited seating. That reality brought Hoshi ever so slightly back down to from cloud nine. The question of who the two passengers would be bored itself into her mind. She passed a cursory glance at those that remained nearby. Taivas was a shoe-in for a spot to leave; he had only come around that morning, had no place to go or stay, and seemed intent on getting himself on his way. That left one seat for the 'Island Five.' They'd need to be in agreement on who that would be.
Like the ship not long before, Hoshi's musing dropped down to earth.
"Yeah," she said, turning to Alias, who was craddling the sudden passed-out mayor. "I'm gonna go find Levi and Lucian. Gotta tell them what's up. We'll sus out the plan later." She bolted off toward the beachfront on the other side of the Island. She dashed across the beach, ducking casually through a sword duel between a boy with spikey brown hair and another with slick, shoulder-length silvery hair, ignoring their shocked "whas" as she headed toward the dock.
She was passing by the small waterfall pond when she stopped dead in her tracks. Certain someome had called out to her, she looked beyond the pool of water, to the opening under a nearby tree. In a near trance-like state she made her way towards the opening... the "Secret Place." A misnomer, given that all of the kids knew about it and had been inside at least once. It drew Hoshi's attention like a magnet. Leading chest first, she swiftly made her way through the space between the rocks and into tight cave. She could swear she heard someone at the end of the passage.
"Hello? Lucian? Levi? You two in here?" She reached the dead end, where the old, weathered, wooden door rest completely out of place. It was the most curious thing on the island, especially given that there seemed to be no way to open it from inside the cave; most had written it off as a piece of driftwood left there to either decorate the space or spark interest and intruige; a long running prank to get people talking. Other than that, there was little else beyong the etched drawings and message scrawls on the stones left by the Islanders over the years.
Hoshi bided her time looking at the works, especially one from a few years ago: a rough sketch of herself and Alias sharing one of the mystical Paupu fruits. The fruits were said to have the power to bind the destinies of those who shared one. Levi had made the drawing about three years ago, mostly as a joke, so Hoshi had guessed when she had watched him put it there. Still, she figured a part of him was being genuine about it. She couldn't help but beam i nearnest sentimentality at the sketch. Her and Alias...
"Uh?" something behind her caught her attention. She wheeled around to an unsettling sight...

Should Zac be present for the encounter in the secret place? Maybe he senses something is off and goes to investigate?
He could also probably have an encounter of his own later that evening before everything hits the fan that night or not at all. Just kinda brainstorming, at the moment lol
Nah; Hoshi gets caught alone. I kinda feel like we should restrain ourselves from going too crazy with 'sensing' things at every turn; kind of takes the edge off of plot developments if we're all getting bad feelings about stuff. Don't want to beat that horse to death, you know? And to boot, I reckon Ansem SoD would be able to mask his presence well enough to not set off anyone's spidey senses.

They look good to me, too. Could provide an interesting dynamic.
Just my two cents, probably best to keep them off of DI for now. We'll never get off the Islands if people keep dropping in. Lol.
More orders of business:
1. my next post will send Hoshi to catch up with Levi about the ship sitch. We can use that to set up for an encounter with the guy in the secret place.
2. Between the day and when the Heartless attack, I'll do a proper Dive into the Heart.
And a question: We gonna have any adults show up to see what's going on? Lol
I'll settle on fff79a for Hoshi moving forward.
<Snipped quote by Little Bird>
Well now Lucian feels left out.
I'm down to roll with the five-man band of Alias, Hoshi, Levi, Morgan, and Lucien for the sunset convo. Everyone that constitutes the "DI crew."
Also, small nitpick, I know, but can we all post our color coding claims? Gotta find a color for Hoshi's dialogue that isn't taken. Lol
"... Feelings, strange dreams, odd figures? Particularly in the shadows?"
The beat in Hoshi's chest stuttered a second. A subtle redness returned to her face; she tried to hide it by lowering her face. She threw Alias a side-eye, hoping that he would speak before her. Her thoughts veered back to the dream she had woken from that very morning, and the feeling that Tsu had somehow been reaching out to her. She wondered if now was a good time to say something. No. Not now. If she were alone with Alias she might have opened up. But not with Zac and Taivias nearby.
"I--" she cut herself off as Alias started. He seemed to be having a go at Zac. Her eyes widened as a flash of light errupted in and vanished from her friend's hand. For a second she could have sworn she saw something in the shape of a sword outlined faintly through the flare. "Alias!" She threw a stern glare at him. "It's ok," she said, more calmly. "I don't think Zac is belittling us."
She lowered her head again, thinking for momemt. "I've had strange feelings too." She looked up at Zac. "I have been for a few days now. Like something is trying to draw me away from home." She patted her chest with an open palm. "It kind of peaked this morning. And then he appeared," she pointed her thumb to Taivias, "and then you crashed here. I reckon I might have just had some wierd premonition or something." She shrugged.
She took another long look at the ship. Damaged as it was, Zac seemed confident he could get it into the sky once more. "So, your ship," Hoshi shifted the conversation. "Does it have room for passengers? Could... could you take us with you when you leave?"

@King Kindred it's Kitsu, not Katsu. Minor gripe.
"Lawful Stupid" made me lol. Perfect.
Things were escalating quickly, to say the least.
While Morgan was busy falling down, Hoshi was transfixed on the new newcomer. "Zac," she said to herself, assuring she wouldn't forget his name. She hung with studious focus to Zac as he explained himself, and shifted her eyes from him to the ship he had arrived in as he proceeded. Hoshi found herself abashedly conflicted on how she felt about him being OK after his crash; on the one hand, if he meant them harm, then there was no way they'd stand much of a chance fighting him off if he even close to full strength. On the other hand, if what he said about his ship's energy core (whatever that was) being able to destroy the Island, then they were fortnuate that he was in a good condition to fix it before it became a problem. As he set himself to work, Hoshi released a self-soothing breath. Sound in mind, she accepted the fact that if he had intent to harm them, he likely wouldn't be taking the time to inspect his ship, and wouldn't have been open to friendly conversation.
She inched closer to the ship, trying to sneak a peak at what Zac was doing to repair his vessel. She looked it over as well, simply in amazement at the fact that such a vehicle even existed. This... this is it. Her heart started racing. She backed away just a few inches when Zac eyed the raft behind her. She too looked at it, surprised that it hadn't been damaged by any debris from Zac's wild landing. She returned a sharp, offended scowl when he commented on how ineffective a raft would be at reaching other worlds. The scowl quickly gave way to more sullen and defalted frown. "It was better than nothing," she said, dejectedly, and just barely audibly, bowing her head down. The wieght of her own doubts about the project being affirmed hurt, though only to the extent of feeling like they had wasted their time and effort on something that wouldn't have outright failed at best, or gotten them killed at worst.
"Brrrh." She shivered in a sudden cold. Raising her head, she scanned the area and immediately saw Alias dropping the ice-cold conch shell. A half-gasp, half-scream forced from her vocal cords when icy spikes pierced out around Morgan. When the blunt protrusion of ice gut-punched Alias, Hoshi sprung towards her friend nearly as quickly as the ice had formed. She arrived at his side and helped him back to his feet as he shrugged off the pain.
"He's right," she said, confirming Alias' statement to Zac. "We don't know how Morgan and Alias got here, or how my br-- Kitsu vanished. There definitely weren't any ships like yours around on any of those days though. We'd have seen something. So there had to have been another way. But," on the 'but' she looked at Alias, then the raft, then back to Alias. "You say our raft wouldn't get us far. I believe you. I... I was afraid of that." She looked longer at Alias. "Better we know now than after we've already set sail, yeah?"
