If they were going to figure out where then asking the...um...girls from before might not be such a bad idea. Though Zephyr kinda had a bad feeling regarding what could happened. Least regarding one of them. However it could be beneficial to keep that in mind if they couldn't find something else here. "That could work, bu there might be something else we're missing here. Maybe we could try to lure him out somehow. Assuming the girls from earlier can't tell us anything." Zephyr suggested.
Damn, the idea that the shows would have some sort of helpful idea proved to be a waste. There had to be something that they were missing from that riddle that would tell them where Jack the Ripper was. As it was right now, he couldn't think of anything. Relief was felt upon learning that he had found the right person, certainly saved him a lot of trouble if he had run into the wrong person by mistake. "Just wanted to make sure that I had found the right person as my partner." He nonchalantly said, sitting in an open seat.
Happy Tay, are you happy now
As time continued to march onward, the others of the group eventually all gathered around Dreamer and the cornerstone. At last they could start getting some form of answers to his actions and words as promised by the man himself. The silence lingered before it was it was broken by Dreamer himself, focusing all attention onto himself and then he greeted them all. It was a an odd greeting given the current situation they were in, you know being in the realm of darkness, not having a keyblade, being completely and utterly lost in the dark (pun not intended) on this whole thing. Even the pose that Dreamer had taken hadn't really help with making it any less odd and clearly uncomfortable for him. Moment passed and the awkwardness for Dreamer came to an end where another set of voices spoke. Now entering the fray were two mouses that had apparently appeared from Dreamers coat. They introduced themselves as Bernard, the male looking mouse, and Bianca, the female looking one. Don't expect an explanation on just how it was that Kel knew the difference between the two mouses beyond their outfits and voices. Actually that is a good explanation, let's go with that. Upon being asked the name of their group was, Kel was just surprise on that fact that they actually had one for all of them. He'd been here the longest, excluding Hikaru, and not once has he heard anything about a name. It was later revealed that their name was SoS or Servant of Sanctuary. There was a name that Kel hadn't heard before, despite not recalling seeing anything like that on the letter that he had gotten from Yen Sid quite some time ago. The following information was nothing sort of telling them that despite them being trapped here and powerless that there was at least someone going around doing something to help. Not exactly help them, but help with whatever the current situation outside was. Beyond that there was one other thing that stuck out to him in everything in what Dreamer had told them and that was the fighting of their inner demons. It wasn't something that Kel was looking forward to doing, even less so in his current mental and physical state. If it was up to him, he'd do what he's done this entire time and avoid it. Avoid it for as long as possible. After what was assumed to be an attempt to motivate everyone into springing to action and life....nothing. Not Surprisingly no one sprang forth and charged towards the castle. It would actually be surprising if anyone actually did that. The lack of action clearly did not do well to boost up his spirits and there was much that Kel could think to say. Even at the mention at Dreamer's brother who, despite not even knowing that he had one, still couldn't form any words to say. His mind was too focused on other things to actually think of something to say. His inner demons or rather his past mistakes were waiting for both within the castle walls and at his actual home. Neither of which were ideal to the young keyblade-er former keyblade wielder in what he would like to experience. When he tuned back in to what Dreamer had been saying and caught only the last bit of what he had said. Strong hearted, protect those who couldn't protect themselves. Both things Kel wish to be, both things he did not see himself as. A strong hearted person wouldn't hesitate and freeze up in dire situations, situations that could easily be protecting someone that couldn't protect. That was more so what Kel saw himself as. He didn't forget what it was that he told Dreamer in respond to his question the first time they'd come across him. I want to be someone who people can go to for help with no second doubts or hesitation. Someone who can actually help solve problems and not make them worse. That's what I want out of my life. He meant what he had said back then and still wanted to achieve that goal so even in his self loathing mental state, he was curious as to how the castle would aid in that. Therefore there was really only one things that he could do to find the answer and that was to enter the castle. Doors upon doors greeted Kel as ventured further into the castle. Each door looked similar to another beyond one different that was shared among them all. Each door had a name as well as a number above them. Looking past all of the names he eventually found a door with his name on it. VIII. That was the number that was paired with his name. Not sure why that particular number was connected to his name, but at least it was better than XIII. He wasn't sure how he'd felt if the number generally associated with bad luck was connected to the door his name was placed onto. On the other side of this door was to be his inner demons and he certainly wasn't looking forward to facing them. This, unfortunately, was the only way that he would be able to get his keyblade back and actually regain all of his lost abilities. As far as golden opportunities go, this was one of them and not one to let slip out of his grasps and yet there was still hesitation in his actions. The likely culprit behind this hesitation was the fact that Kel knew exactly what his inner demon was that would be waiting for him on the other side of the door. Once again it would be an obstacle to him and once again he was completely unprepared to deal with it. It was like nothing had chance since he left him home (insert however long it's been in rp for the characters) ago. Moments turned to seconds, which turned to minutes before Kel did something. A deep breath to ready his nerves as Best he could before finally reaching out, taking firm hold of the door and opening it. VIII A Wavering Heart The Story of Kel
That wasn't what he meant by his suggestion, that wasn't what he meant by that at all. "Easy there, I didn't mean that we should start dragging around a dead body around with us." That really would've ended badly for them. He then placed his hand on Roderick shoulder with the hopes of calming him down. "What I meant was what would a killer do in this situation, putting ourselves in their shoes in a sense." Hopefully that explanation would clear up the misunderstanding that had occurred, still it wasn't the easiest thing to ask someone to do. Getting a closer look at the body could help to some extent, thus Zephyr took the first step into the fountain. Roderick might ave been onto something with his shoe hypothesis earlier so he decided to look there first and the corpses high heels. Now having received his meister parings Kuro began the task of looking for his new partner. Not having any idea what his partner looked would make this a difficult task, but fortunately he was told where to find his partner. The information given led him to the library which he found someone that he presumed to be his partner. A girl, sitting by herself reading a book. "So, you wouldn't happen to be Blake would you?"
Zephyr sighed upon getting to the fountain and it wasn't because there was another riddle there waiting for them, but the corpse of yet another person. Mixing together what the riddle had said and that was irritating to say the least. As for the riddle itself, what Roderick had said did make sense and he was fully prepared to go with it. But in this rare case Moksha actually had some input on this riddle, little input, but input nonetheless. "Maybe it's referring to where one puts the body." If the last line was referring to the corpse then they needed to find where one would dispose of it.
After the women had taken the money from Roderick, the duo hailed a cab and gave the driver the name of their destination. The actual ride to the palace wasn't that much of a long one and fortunately they had enough money to cover the cost (We're just going to assume that Roderick paid cause I've made no mention of how much money Zephyr has on hand). "I really hope whatever clue is at the fountain isn't another riddle." Zephyr said, sighing as he exited the cab.
Name: Kuro Age: 19 Appearance: Spoiler Personality: Ridiculously chilled and laid back. Usually just goes with the flow with what's around him as oppose to straying off. Well unless it's necessary to do so anyway, which is rare for him so he barely worries about it. Why did you become a Miester: He was bored so why not Backstory: Hmm, let's see. It all started with a very generic character with very little motivation got bored and decided to do this on a whim. Yeah that's it. Very generic and such. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah. Other: Discord ID: N/A
Once more they had come across another riddle next to the corpse and unlike last time where Zephyr had a lucky guess, this time he had no idea just what it was that the riddle was referring to. Fortunately Roderick was able to figure out something. "If that's what you think the answer is, then go for it." He said encouragingly.
The current situation at hand took a turn for the worse at the mention of another dead body. Zephyr followed behind Roderick and laid eyes on the second corpse they found. "Damn." Was the first and only thing that he could manage to say.
No, no you are not
Zephyr had been primarily focused on trying to find anything that stuck out as suspicious to him and work off that. So at first he didn't notice the woman approach them. Upon feeling the finger drag across his face, and subsequently jumping a bit at the sudden sensation, he finally noticed the woman presence and was certainly caught off guard upon seeing how little she was wearing. The usually calm and collected Zephyr was at a lost, both mentally and verbally. During the time she was speaking with Roderick, the now red face teen was looking for something to either take his mind off the current situation or at least change the topic. At first he thought there was nothing that he could use in his favor, but hearing the sounds of crying changed that. Carefully looking past the scantily clad woman, he saw another one crying. Odd, but it was just the thing he needed to get out of this situation. Clearing his throat, he finally spoke up. "W-what's wrong with her?" He motioned to the crying woman behind them.
Sure, show me what you got
Upon arriving at the beacon Kel's attention was focused on the castle before them. Something like that seemed to be out of place here, though that could be said about a lot of things. Hearing what Dreamer had said about the castle had brought more questions to his wondering mind. Just how was this castle supposed to help them face their 'demons'. It didn't particularly sound pleasant at all and to be honest, he just wanted some answers to his questions. "How is it supposed to be our salvation or demise?" Kel asked, voicing one of the many things that had been swirling about in his head. Judging from their current situation, salvation could be both getting their keyblades back and getting out of here and demise would be either being trapped here forever or well...death, but could this castle really do all of this? This was a lot to consider with so little to go off of. Kel sighed as he looked around, there were still some of the others missing and it wouldn't be until they had arrived that Dreamer would shed some light on their predicament. Speaking of which, something clearly happened to Steel judging from how he looked and the fact that Karina arrived shortly before him. Well, that must've sucked for him.
The only thing that Zephyr could tell for certain was that it had an affinity for red lights. Every step they took was illuminated by the red lights, fortunately that didn't affect their ability to look around for something that stuck out.
The taxi had taken them to the London Eye to which the duo had gotten on. If not for the fact that they were looking for a serial killer he would've taken the time to actually enjoy that fact that he was on a giant Ferris wheel right now. Alas they had a job to do, speaking of which he should be keeping an eye out for anything that looked like a clue while they were up here. Zephyr assumed that the giant body of water was Thames and it was certainly larger than what he had thought it was. That and there was one more thing that had caught his attention, a bunch of red lights grouped together. "Hey Roderick, know what exactly that is?" He had this hand motioning towards the bright lights outside. Man this was an odd combination of 'being a tourist' and 'being on a manhunt'.
You had me at Bionicles That aside, looks I need to refresh myself with the Bionicles world cause it's been awhile since I've last thought of them
It had been a relief to hear that his guess had actually been the right answer for it also meant that they could leave this bloody alleyway now. "Sounds like a plan, but where exactly is it?" It wasn't much of a surprise that Zephyr had no idea where Thames was, this was the first time he's ever been to England after all. So hopefully Roderick would be the one who knew where it was.
Noted, fortunately I have a back up image that I'll edit in after work.
