The well timed announcement had provided a solution to the food problem that was slowly becoming more and more of an issue with each passing day. He took one last look at what they did have as to make a mental note on what to look for on top of anything else that actually was edible. The edible part was a bit tricky if you just assume by what they looked liked. Making his way onto the Galanor, the first thing that Allec did was to look for the food and food related items. After walking around a bit, found some crates labeled as Truffula Fruit, two crates to be exact. It never did hurt to have some fruit around and there was likely something that he could make something with said fruit so it was just a matter of finding out what. Well that and finding a price that would be suitable for them
Psst Hi
Psst Ghost
It was odd hearing that his name was unique though he wasn't exactly a good judge of that. Hearing her question, he started to think of a short way to explain why they were here. Well short and that would be easy to understand. "Hmm, well the short story is that the world we happened to be on was swallowed by darkness and the next thing we knew we were outside in the darkness." Kel paused his explanation to motion to the door and noticed the other person now standing by the door. Just where did she come from? He'll question that later, he still had some explanation to finish. "From there we followed a beacon that lead us here to get our keyblades back. That pretty much sums it up."
"Well that's that then." Zephyr said sighing. For all the trouble that he'd given them with those damn riddles and the trail of corpses, they were able to beat him with little trouble. Excluding the cut on the side of his face, not that it was really much of a injury to begin with. "I guess this is the part where you eat the soul." The reaction that Blake had gotten from Kuro was a simple thumbs up. No enthusiasm or any such thing, well that was outwardly shown anyway. On the inside he was curious about the mission that they had decided to go on. In contrast his partner was already starting to get pumped for it.
Flee to the bunker young sardothien
Both Aislinn and the other guy had walked into the castle, leaving Kel to close the door behind them. It was weird being called sir, especially from someone older than him. "You can call me Kel if you want." He figured that would at least make it less awkward when she choose to address him. Though she did bring up a valid point in her question. He didn't have time to notice it at the time, but looking around now he saw a couple of things that stuck out to him. Beuce had a new multi colored arm, Karina was basically naked excluding a cloak and some random girl was sitting on top of Glen after presumable kicking his ass. The last one wasn't all that surprising, but the first two most certainly were. "It's complicated." He said to Aislinn, wondering just what had happened while he was in the door. Then Hikaru joined up, quickly asking if everyone had gotten their keyblades back. He knew that he'd gotten his back, but what about the others. He didn't know for certain and had no idea what about the others.
The girl known as Aislinn had a lot of question for him to answer, which was understandable given the circumstances she now found herself in. Before answering her question however, there was one thing that he needed to do first. In the distance behind them Kel had noticed someone else watching them. It didn't look like he was continue to walk towards them and just stood there. "Hey guy standing back there, I know your back there so no point in just standing there!" Having effectively called the guy out, Kel turned his attention back to Aislinn to address her questions. "It doesn't sound as absurd as you think. This is the realm of darkness, which as I as I know this castle is the only building here. It might be better if you came in here as opposed to standing out there." He replied. There was a lot of unknowns in regards to what lurked in the darkness aroudn them and beside the cornerstone of light, this castle was relatively safe for the most part.
The Ravioli has come for thee, submit and be joinfied

While being able to avoid the swipes of Jack the Ripper's claws, he wasn't able to fully avoid the killer grabbing onto his arm. The intention behind this attack was clear and this could work out in his favor. By quickly moving his head to the side, he was able to avoid a direct hit from the claw, but it still did graze him. "The only one going to die is you." In Jack the Ripper's last attack, not only did he pulled Zephyr closer in an attempt to kill him, but he also impaled himself onto Zephyr's sword. The blade dug deep as what would likely be a fatal blow onto the killer before Zephyr kicked him back.
Silence was Allec's friend as he looked through the food that they currently still had in stock. With it being a few weeks since they had last traded for some more food, they were slowly starting to run low. Not enough were hunger would be an issue, but there would be less creative dishes from him...which was saying something given that a good chunk of the food he worked with was alien. By this point though he was used to the difficulty of making food, he wouldn't be a good cook otherwise. "Guess I'll start thinking of something to make." His eyes scanned the various ingredients in their respective means of storage as he tried to come up with something. It was better to take it one step at a time as oppose to trying to figure out the final picture first.
Username: CrownMoksha Name: Reitan Samidare Age: 19 Magic type: Extrokai Power 1: Flame Cloak - By focusing on the blade of his lance, Reitan is able to conjure up flames that cover his weapon for extra versatility and fire power. Power 2: Storm Cloak - Following the same concept as Flame Cloak, a strong wind flows around his lance's blade. While it grants some offensive capabilities, it's better suited for evasion and defensive tactics. Power 3 (if applicable): Inferno Storm Cloak - A combination of both Flame and Storm cloak after using both to their full potential. The wind powered flames cover both the weapon and the wielder's arm, thus why complete mastery of this is needed. Harm may befall both the user and those around if if they are not able to control the flames. Appearance: Ask and you shall receive Occupation: Blacksmith Weapon: A Lance he forged himself.

Jack the ripper was fast, there was no denying that, but his movements were still within his capabilities to read. As he side stepped to get past them, Zephyr spun on his heel to avoid having his back facing him. Once moved out of the line of the attack, Zephyr proceeded to block the attack with his weapon. That maneuver was followed by Zephyr quickly pushing the claw away to quickly go in for an attack of his own, a slash aimed for Jack the Ripper's chest.
Now assuming that the only one who could see Tarzan was just Kel and no one else, he had no idea how his attempt to hold him back from going and doing whatever it would've been in response to the swinging wooden swords. It must have looked odd enough to focus all attention onto him for all eyes were on him now. This was awkward. As all fell silent, the first thing that was heard was a very awkward chuckle from Kel. "Hey everyone, how's it going?" He said that as nonchalantly as possible to hopefully counteract this awkward situation he now found himself to be in. All fell back into silence when a single gesture forward from his father was made. Well crap, Kel certainly didn't think that this would end well. Before stepping forward, he motioned for Tarzan to stand still before heading forward. All eyes remained on him as he strode towards the fenced off ring, the surrounding crowd back up as to make a path for him to proceed. With each step he took his nerves only grow stronger. His nerves were at their worst when he was standing right before his father. Now his father wasn't exactly the most high ranking person, nor was he a general of Everton's army or anything else that would cause him to be intimidating just by being in the same place as him. Part of the nerves that Kel was experiencing were a mix of the fact that his looked up to his father and how the primary reason everyone knew his father (and by extension could recognized Kel when they saw him) due to the fact that despite having no high rank in society or whatever because he always seem to know just how to help other with whatever troubles they needed, even if it was something that one wouldn't expect he would know how to do. That happens enough times and people start to respect you. Anyway now standing before his father, nerves going at full force, he waited to hear just what it was that his father had wanted to say to him. Due to expecting his father to verbally say something to him, the pat on the shoulder came as a surprise to him. "Glad you could make it to the demonstration." His father's words confused him, just what demonstration did he make it too? The two in the center of the ring had even cleared out of said ring to make way for someone else to step in. Amidst all of his confusion a fair amount of the people around him had turned to look at him once more as his father stepped into the ring. "Alright, shall we begin." That was when it finally dawned on him what this demonstration was. It was an exhibition match between himself and his father. Fuck, he was royally screwed. It's amazing how one ass kicking and rile up a crowd. There were a majority of people rooting for Kel's father to win and a smaller amount of people cheering for Kel since he was clearly the underdog in this situation. As for Kel himself, he was currently struggling to get back onto his feet after getting his ass kicked by his dad with a wooden sword. No mercy was shown to him despite them being related, which was fair and all, but at least give the man a handicap. The blue hair teem managed to get back onto his feet and saw his dad looking towards him. There was a smirk on his face as his held one arm behind his back, granting Kel a handicap of sorts. A little late for it so it wasn't going to help much for him right now. His grip on the sword tightened, he'd never been able to beat his father before and there was no reason think that he would be able to now all of a sudden. A good part of Kel wanted to just give up right here and now, just run from his problems like he's so used to doing before. However, that was when a voice cut through the cheer and I guess jeer of the crowd around them. "You can do it Kel!" "Never give up!" *Incoherent grunting* Kel knew those voices, one of which being a lot more obvious than the others, they were the voices of his closest friends. Whenever he was in need of encouraging, at least one of them would be there to provide it for him. Their words granted him with renewed strength and determination. He was still going to lose this fight, but there was nothing say that he had to go down easy. A smirk of his own briefly appeared on his face before Kel charged forward for round 2 with his father. Cue timeskip to the end of all this cause there was no way I would make the deadline A lot had happened since Kel was, again, beaten by his father in one swift blow. The power of friendship only carries one so far when they don't have any actual fighting abilities due to heart resets. However that wasn't the reason behind his current condition. Stepping out of his door, covered in various sorts of scratches and actually bleeding form a bite mark that was on his shoulder. Yeah, he got real mess up during all that and it wasn't even from the his inner demon. It was all worth it, partly cause he's been in worse shape than this, since he had finally gotten his keyblade back or rather, called forth his own. Kel had started to venture away from his door right as there was knocking on the main door, which was already odd. He'd thought that everyone that was supposed to be in here were either in her already or still in the doors, granted he had no idea just how he had been in there so it was possible that someone had gone outside while he was in there. Whatever the reason was Kel walked up towards the main door and opened the door for...some girl he didn't know at all. "Um, and you are?" She had a keyblade on her which added another layer to his 'who are you' question. This wasn't the first time he'd seen another keyblade wielder appear out of nowhere, but it had still been awhile since the last one. To anyone who cares, this is what his father looks like
It's fun to watch the discord of others
Now being face to face with Jack the ripper, Zephyr was disgusted not so much by the fact that he had just eaten a soul of yet another person that he probably killed, but the fact that he was standing in front of someone that could kill so easily, with no second though. That was what disgusted him and the fight was about to begin. Zephyr quickly caught Roderick's weapon form and avoided the initial attack from Jack the Ripper. "Then leave the fighting to me." With one quick adjustment of his footing, Zephyr stepped forward and slashed at the killer. @KHGrl15 pooooooooooost
They may not have been able to get an answer from the girls, Zephyr had come up with an idea on where to go for the riddle. Once they weren't given an answer from the girls, he walked over to Roderick. "I think I may know where we need to go." Of course he had his doubts about his idea, but it was better than doing nothing. They were still on the trail of a serial killer after all! This time it was Zephyr's turn to hail a cab, this one driving them to the dump. Paying the driving and exiting the cab, Zephyr started too look around. It was his idea that had lead them here and now that they were, he had no idea just what it was that they were supposed to be looking for here.
Having stepped through the door Kel had expected to see nothing but darkness. Darkness and the inner demon in question that he would be going up against. To a lesser extent he figured that he would be inside a building of sorts, not exactly sure on the kind of building that he was expecting, but something, anything really. Instead Kel found himself to be on a hill, next to a single tree over looking a castle town of sorts. Kel knew exactly where it was that he was,both the tree he was standing next too and the castle town that it was overlooking. A gentle breeze blew past both him and the leaves of the tree as the realization sunk in. He was home, back on Solucia and there was a lot of uncertainty swirling about right now. On the one hand he was kinda glad to be back home, especially seeing that nothing had really changed. The other hand however held the reminder that he was supposed to face his inner demons. That caused a hint of concerned to surfaced. This wasn't going to to be fun, but least for the time being he could enjoy the breeze. The breeze had come to an end and right as Kel was about to venture forward, the rustling continued in the branches above him. Puzzled by this, Kel looked up as the rustling continued and grow violent. Suddenly it cease with no explanation what so ever. Something like that wasn't just going to be ignored like it never happened, thus Kel moved so that he was standing underneath where the rustling was occurring. Moments passed and nothing happened other than a faint rustle to signal that there was still something there. With all the rustling that was going on up there, Kel could tell that it wasn't you average tree bound creature above him. Silence once again took place in the branches above and Kel was tempted to start chucking rocks up there to either get what was up there to come out, or cause it to fall out of the tree. Either way he was going to figure out just what it was that was resting in that tree. Kel had taken another step forward, preparing to get an answer to his question when the sound of something breaking was heard, causing whatever was on the branch to fall down and land right onto Kel. Unfortunately Kel had little time to react to the sudden force landing on top of him, disorientating him for a couple of seconds. Gradually his head stopped spinning and the world slowly regained its focus, the process of doing so revealed just what it was that had fallen from the tree and landed on him. "T-Tarzan!?" Not sure just how or why but it was indeed Tarzan who had fallen from the tree. A lot of question were being raised right now and none of which would be answered, well answered in a way that Kel could understand it. Cause last he check Tarzan didn't exactly speak normally, he spoke in grunts and such. Speaking true to the form Kel was greeted by various grunts and such. Either Tarzan was happy to see again or confused as to where the heck he was, we're just going to assume the latter. The grunting soon cease and the ape man move to be standing next to Kel, allowing the teen to actually stand up on his feet. He really wanted to know just Tarzan got from Deep Jungle all the way to here on Solucia and he wished that Tarzan could provide those answers, but he wasn't fluent in ape speak so finding that answer wasn't going to happen anytime soon. The duo were now making their way through the castle town of Everton, the streets bustling with people going about their own business and in the middle of all that, Kel was wondering just how it was that no one was questioning why there was a half naked ape man walking besides him. Suspiciously looking at everything and everyone they walked past as well. Tarzan had been like that since they first walked through the castle gate and into the walled off town. All of this had to be a huge shock for Tarzan and it was just a relief that he hadn't completely flipped out and started going all over the place in a panicked frenzy. Eventually they left the general market area and started towards the center of town. The crowd of people died down as they progress, which must have made Tarzan feel better cause the mass amount of grunting that he was making earlier had died down by a lot. It wasn't so much annoying to hear as it was just plain confusing to try and figure out just what it that he was saying. Before they could progress any further through the now empty streets, the sound of wood hitting against wood caught both their attention. Tarzan was confused as all hell, clearly shown by the frantic looking around and grunting that he was doing. Kel on the other hand looked around as well, though in a much calmer manner compared to Tarzan. The narrow street that they were walking down had opened up to a plaza and in the middle was a ring of sorts. In the ring were two people swinging at each other with wooden swords. They had arrived at the outdoor training ground and apparently it was in use, something that surprised Kel. Usually it was the indoor was that was use as this one was more so just for showing off. Kel didn't think much of this just by seeing it and was prepared to continue on walking about. Tarzan on the other hand, something triggered, seeing the wooden swords hitting against each other case a reaction that will not be described because Mok doesn't know what to put there as it was, thus the ape man headed towards the ring all hooting and hollering. Having noticed this, Kel quickly grabbed on to Tarzan's arm and tried to hold him back. At this moment he remembered that no one had really bothered looking in the direction of the two while they were walking earlier, but as to whether that was because of them ignoring them or because they couldn't see Tarzan. However they still could see Kel, shown because of what happened next. "Kel!" Shit, He knew exactly who that voice belong to. Out of all the people that could've noticed him trying to hold back an ape man (which he was still doing) it had to be his dad.
Having officially back tracked back to the alley in search of the girls from earlier. Ideally they would have some form of insight to the riddle that they had either not thought of themselves or managed to miss. That's also what Zephyr was doing in his head, rethinking the riddle and trying to see if there was another way to interpret it. This was one of the things that he hated about riddles, there's various different ways that they could be taken and yet there was only one answer among those various ways.
