"Agnitio was killed in a mission offworld. My parents told me otherwise but adults don't keep quiet about that stuff.... I think it had something to do with the heartless... but I don't know." Mora let out a deep breath and said, "Old man Ryce... disappeared one day. I... don't know what happened. He just, never came back from his home up at the old castle. And we sent people to make sure he wasn't hurt or... worse... but he was gone. That's... I think that's why they asked LIGHT to come and help us." Mora answered unsure, "I mean, I know it had to deal with the machine but... I feel like if Ryce were here we wouldn't have had to worry as much... n-no offense to you guys. I just.. hm..." Mora felt uncomfortable continuing her sentence, "He was...m...more qualified?"
Hey you. Yes, you readin this. Could you do me a flavor and read a tiny Minecraft thread in the playground? ty if you did, if not take care~
So in February of this year, we opened up the Official KHV Server to everyone on KHV. So long as they let us know what their username was, they were whitelisted and messaged a little code to gain entry (since it wasn't exactly open access at the time) and for a little while there was a huge burst in activity, now it's kind of, well.... Actually, it's still active. Just not a lot of people. There's been a bit of a takeover by a lot of the RPA and some projects have been popping up depending on the will of the creator then. Sometimes there's dead spots, but overall there's generally about 2-3 people on a day with the server. Now, when we first began, there were many more on the server, so this little thread has been created to ask everyone a few questions about it, so we can get a gauge in interest. 1. Were you aware there was in fact a KHV minecraft server? Have you used it? 2. If you used it, do you still actively use it? 3. What were some of your favorite experiences on the server? 4. If you are no longer active, is there a particular reason why you found yourself being deterred? 5. Is there anything you would like to see changed about the Minecraft server? 6. Extra comments you may have that do not fit in the other areas? Overall, I've love to be able to see if we can make it so more people jump on in with all the fun. Currently, a few members have been working on making a HUGE city. And some of the more active members really like running around and showing all of our older projects to returning or new players! Thank you for reading, have a wonderful day~ -cstar
I AIN'T GONNA BE PART OF YOUR SYSTEM
Kaida kind of hesitated for a moment, not sure how she should approach this. On one hand, Aislinn had a bit of a point, it could possibly be something private, but on the other hand, what other time was there to find out was on it? What with everything being so quick. There was also the possibility the GM intentionally placed this in her bag for her to figure out. Kaida took a deep breath and clicked play on the recorder. When the recorder clicked off, Kaida held it up and commented, "O-oh... this... this is Karina's. She must have left it in here when she gave back the cloak..." Kaida bit her lip and looked over at Aislinn, turned out she was right. The blonde shifted her hair awkwardly and said, "Um, maybe uh... maybe if we see Lea again we could tell him to give it back to her cause um... I... feel kind of bad now."
For the ease of other's access (especially if they have questions about it). Character Sheet Feats List "This one guards a caravan. Not exactly one for this "politics" thing. Tttttthat's why this one punches stuff. So what would the squishy one like Purrah to punch?"
Mora turned towards Cerdic and shrugged saying, "I think there has always been a heartless problem here. So, maybe people were chased away by them? I don't actually know... there is, one book I remember... we don't have a lot of written books on our world, but I do remember reading it and it mentioned something about people splitting into two groups, one group leaving and one group staying. They didn't really like how this world turned out and wanted to move to a place that was better than them. I guess something big happened with a guy called The Traveler. He used a keyblade too, actually. Went out of his way to explore the worlds and came back with knowledge that helped shape the world into... maybe not what it is today, but led in this direction. Keyblade wielders aren't uncommon from here, well... they used to be more common. But we haven't had a keyblade wielder since Agnitio. And I was little when he was around." Mora continued walking, ran ahead a little just to make sure before she came back, "Though there was Master Ryce but, he wasn't from here, he moved here but wasn't exactly a keyblade wielder that came from our soil, ya know?" Mora looked back just to check before echoing, "...ya know?"
Kaida listened to Ananta speak, not really wanting to but being forced into it nonetheless. The girl paused and tried to explain herself, trying to say she wasn't going through loud in clear, but Kaida was definitely hearing her loud and clear. When the green haired girl offered up a handkerchief almost as if a symbol of truce (there was obviously a practical element but that didn't matter as much). Kaida pushed her hand away and said, "You're ridiculous. As if we need to think that." Kaida went to walk away and tripped over herself, as she was worked up so much, and fell a bit to her side. Her bag opened up a bit and her cloak slipped out and Kaida grumbled as she got on her knees to reorganize it mumbling, "If you want to take Aux's side here, take it, but keep me out of-" Kaida paused as she felt something in the cloak pocket and pulled it out to hold up a recorder and she closed up her bag and held it up, looking around at it and asking, "...What is this? I've never had one of these. It looks like something DJ would throw together like my watch but... wait." Kaida looked it over and said, "It's... a tape recorder. Why is there a tape recorder in here I don't own a tape recorder... why even..."
When Mora was dragged ahead, she was a bit surprised at exactly who it was that did. Not because she was inclined to believe Chrys wouldn't, she didn't know the guy, but because she thought one of the others were more inclined to so first. But soon, everyone was getting up and heading down the corridor with her. Mora let herself lead ahead so she could bring them through the tunnels without a problem. The first tunnel was a rather long stretch and in pretty much a straight line. There weren't any particular twists and turns to it, but Mora kept running ahead just to make sure the coast was clear. She heard a couple loud bangs overhead, which made her stop for a moment and motion for the rest of the group to stay still, but nothing bad came of them and she continued on her way. They soon reached another supply room that had beds in it, ready for those who wished to rest, but Mora went straight forward and said, "I imagine you guys are tired but... this isn't the time." The other side of the tunnel split slightly, but Mora led them towards the right side and said, "Left side just leads to an exit we don't want to use." and she continued. The walls to the left said were beginning to be lined with little discs that were shaped and designed very carefully. There also seemed to a spot that emitted a kind of light towards the center. They were very old and looked like they barely worked for whatever they used to be used for. Mora walked by them as if they were junk, but based on the positioning and care, it was clear they used to be something. Mora walked further and finally spoke up, "Sorry everything is so dark, I think installing lights in this place would cause problems. These walls are ancient, but it seems to be keeping the heartless out..." Mora placed her hands behind her head and said, "The things on the walls are called finders. They used to make a signal that let people know they were lost, and pressing the button would emit a light for anyone nearby. I think they used to have something that told exactly how far away the person was from the terminal but... it doesn't work anymore." Mora shrugged and said, "Gramps told me this world used to be much bigger and people would go through the mountains a lot, and kids would get lost. So they gave them these. I don't know, it sounds odd. Because we were always told to look for these tunnels if we were ever lost."
Kaida heard Ananta's response and couldn't believe the words she was hearing. The yellow haired girl turned towards her with a glare and saw her place a hand on Hikaru's shoulder, as if she was more prioritized to console him. But shile she didn't necessarily mind that fact, what she said about Aux pissed her off infinitely more. Kaida walked closer to Ananta and pushed her back a little bit so she wasn't directly next to Hikaru, and Kaida punched her square in the face. The problem here, was that Ananta was a lot tougher than she expected, and when the punch collided Kaida grabbed her wrist in pain and tried to shake it off while she spoke angrily, trying to keep tears back from her eyes, "He had reasons? I don't care if Aux was hand picked by the Conductor himself to carry out his wishes. I don't care what his "reasons" were, his reasons mean nothing. What his actions were matter!" Kaida hissed a bit as she backed away, tears pouring out of her eyes and she said, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions. You weren't friends with him." Kaida paused and felt the tears pour out more as she croaked out, "Do you know what it's like to have your best friend wish you dead? And you don't know what happened to make him that way? To have all of those years of friendship torn apart because of reasons?" Kaida felt her hands tighten, she remembered for the longest time thinking it was her fault. Like when Hikaru had been in a coma, and she wasn't there. When Aux turned to darkness, and she wasn't there. Kaida took a breath and said, "Maybe you do... but what I've taken from this is that he can't be trusted. This may be the Aux I knew, but it's not the Aux he is now. And I don't trust Aux the way he is now." and Kaida turned to walk away and left through the portal to head to Shibuya.
Take tried his best to cast aside his worries over whether or not this was going to work. He figured it'd be best if he just focused on the task at hand. When they ported, he felt the swaying of the ship. An unfamiliar sensation that almost made him dizzy on the spot. But once he looked up towards the sky, an almost child-like wonder filled his eyes as he saw... well, the colorful space around them as they sailed. Take walked a few steps forward, softly. Like he was trying to not put any weight down to alert and potential enemies as he looked out the starboard and port. He made sure to try and keep himself calm, but he was actually kind of excited over it. Take opened up his mouth and said, "This is so cool... oh man..." Take looked at the rest of his team and raised his hand up towards the sky in disbelief as he asked, "Do you guys see this? This is beautiful." He was doing his best to keep quiet but his astonishment was not easily hid.
Take listened to her explain her homeworld, he was a bit annoyed by how she wouldn't say why she was becoming a keyblade master, and her fun answer was relatively generic but he didn't know what else to expect from that. Take heard her response about the divide and conquer and when she mentioned her rank he was taken aback. A lieutenant general? That wasn't exactly a rank to sneeze at, it may not have been at the top of the totem pole but it was something that he definitely had respect for but something was... off about her. For one, her discipline was virtually nonexistent and he refused to believe that she was even in the army with the way she carried herself. Takehiko listened to her decide to go inside, and he watched her shut the door and he sighed a bit and leaned back. She didn't care about him or his past, she just wanted to talk and make sure they were on good terms. Take almost didn't like that, but he at least understood it. He was hoping maybe this would lead to a back and forth, for him to be able to try and connect with her, but she didn't. Maybe that was her military discipline kicking in where she didn't want to divulge more than necessary and kept herself from forming connections with partners? He didn't actually know. Take sat in silence for a bit and looked down at the purring Nini and whispered low, "Am I doing this whole thing wrong, Nini? Should I be trying to connect less with people in this way?" the tiny black cat didn't respond, but she did hop off his lap and walk over to the door to claw their way inside. She must have been hungry. Take understood. So the boy picked himself up and said, "Alright we'll try to get you a meal in quick before we head out... I probably should eat too anyway." and he walked back into the house with the cat in tow. Nini mewled as she sprinted across the room towards the kitchen and Take sighed and said to the cat, "Meowing won't make the food come faster, it'll just make you angrier." Nini meowed back and Take saw the whole group gathering in the living room and stopped, "Oh, you're awake, Are we already heading out?" The cat meowed even louder and Take cringed up and said, "I'll be back in a second." Take came back not long after with a well-fed and happy cat sleeping on his bag and he had an orange peeled already he was very happy to munch on with some toast as he smiled a bit at everyone and said with his mouth a bit full, "I'm all set."
There was a little too much that seemed to go on in that short time span. When this Sho appeared with a megaphone and began talking... she wasn't exactly expecting much. But when he materialized Glen out of the room for speaking up, Kaida reached out and yelled, "Glen!" but was cut off from everything when this man continued on as if nothing even happened. She closed her eyes and tried to hold back the anger she was feeling at the scenario already for losing Glen in the blink of an eye, but then the revelation of who X was happened. Apparently, it was Aux, which she honestly hadn't expected considering the build on this hooded guy wasn't exactly the same. And the second she saw Aux she was filled with even more rage, now redirected towards her former friend. But something was... wrong. Aux did not have his memories, and thus was not the Aux she knew. And when the man decided to make modifications on the deal and made Aux remember up to... some point. He knew who she was, but Kaida didn't care. She knew this was a temporary fix. If they all got out of here, Aux would probably just turn on them again, she wasn't going to trust him no matter what. Aux was ported out of there after the Sho situation was dealt with by a man named Megumi who wanted to figure out what exactly to do with him. When she heard Hikaru mention Aux, Kaida gritted her teeth and turned towards Hikaru, "Forget about Aux! It's part of the game. This isn't who he is, we all know it!" Kaida grabbed her hands and held them tight as she asked, "What about Glen? What's gonna happen to him?" she looked pained over the fact that her friend was gone, if anything, Glen was one of the closest companions she had here, he had been with her since Corona. She was sick of losing so many friends in the blink of an eye. Kaida looked over towards the portal to Shibuya as she said, "Aux could disappear for all I care. It'd make things so much easier, and probably be the merciful way to end him." she was very hostile at the idea of him, "I don't care what he once was."
Kaida heard Hikaru's surprise and raised an eyebrow before nudging him, "Of course she's a princess, come on I know you paid more attention in class than me." then Kaida realized that this might not have been something she learned through the Academy, it may have been something through the Order. Kaida shifted her hand towards her chin to think for a minute before mumbling under her breath, "Actually... you might not have known that... it might have been an Order thing, my bad." she dropped her hand and looked to him, "Yeah, she's a princess of heart... with uh..." Kaida stared for a moment before holding up her hands and counting, "Luna, Eilonwy, Kida, Snow White... wait... no she wasn't on that list. Okay back to the top." Kaida reset her fingers and counted again, "Luna, Eilonwy, Kida, Merida, Elsa, Pocahontas, and...." Kaida paused for a minute to remember who it was on her list, on the list of princesses for that time and she remembered and beamed a bit, snapping her fingers, "Minnie. Like... Minnie Mouse, the one from Disneytown?"
Takehiko took the apology fine, he wasn't exactly sure if he was even angry at that little bit anymore, but he must have been since he knew what she was talking about. If it was genuinely something he didn't care about, being reminded of it would have made him not feel anything. But it didn't matter. She kept mentioning looks on his face and he touched his own face thinking about it, he didn't exactly think himself an extrovert. Not by choice, but by necessity. He only recently started giving polite smiles to people he trusted, he never laughed, he knew his anger got out without him liking it, he never cried, he tried not to worry... but concern on his face was apparently very easy to spot and he never could quite get over it. Take thought about her question and said out loud, with his voice cracking slightly as he attempted to break the monotone, "Who... are you?" Take paused for a minute and he realized what exactly he asked and he waved his hands slightly as he said, "Like... not the basic hello my name's Illiana I mean like, who are you?" Take realized that might not have gone through and he rubbed his head in frustration over himself, "Like... where are you from? Why do you want to be a keyblade master? Um..." Take seemed to kind of stare off at the city for a moment trying to think of another question and asked painfully, like it was question he didn't exactly go out of his way to ask, but was trying to get into the conversation, "What... do you do for... fun?" He almost asked it more like he was trying to figure out of the word 'fun' was the correct word to use there and his eyes shifted awkwardly as he heard a little mewl and Nini hopped on up from their hiding space onto Take's lap and he gave her some scritches, "I uh... I'm not good at asking questions... Master has been trying to help with that... I've always kind of just... done things without question... so... it's very new to me."
Take turned his head towards Illiana when she had walked out into the area. When she mentioned his sleeping he thought about it, he didn't think he had too little sleep, he was used to getting up this early and he would have felt weird sleeping in. When she mentioned speaking about yesterday, he thought about it for a second before saying, "I don't have time to 'spare', I consider a conversation like this essential time." he spoke with a rather flatly monotone voice, one he was rather used to speaking around those he considered strangers. He shifted a bit so if she wanted to sit near him, or just lean back against the wall that she was able to and he asked, "So whaddya wanna say about yesterday?" he was not sure how this conversation was going to go exactly, so he'd rather sit back at let her have the reigns on this one.
Takehiko was up just before what would have normally been sunrise. That was normal for him, and he pretty much never changed that. The boy sat outside staring up at the castle trying to finally take in just how beautiful this place was. The way the homes were built and how softly everything just seemed to glow a bluish color. He didn't exactly see a lot of blues in his homeworld, perhaps the sky if he dared to look up at it in the day when dragons weren't constantly coming at him. Take took in a deep breath to let the fresh air into his lungs before the cold turned into warm, and he reached into his pocket to pull out a small stone that was carved into and dyed to look like a red swirl. It was not a perfect swirl, in fact the corners of it seemed to be slightly off and the swirl jutted out to make a tiny tail towards the end. He tossed the stone around in his hands a little before unconsciously bringing it up towards his heart. He held it there for just a bit before he put it away and stared at the scenery once more. Waiting for their orders to leave, or for someone else to interrupt the quiet.
Takehiko listened to Illiana speak. Listening to her attempt to lecture him on a "divide and conquer" strategy bothered him immensely. If there was anyone who knew the benefits and losses to that kind of tactic, it was Take. But what bothered her the most was when she said he 'can't hide behind Torrin and Atmos forever'. The boy paused for a minute to make sure he didn't just go and start getting irrational. But before he could even speak, Illiana had left the room. And that pissed him off even more. Take crossed his arms and murmured to himself, "I am not, nor have I ever hid behind anyone..." Maybe the stranger who jumped in to ask Atmos for training literally a day ago should try to get to know her peers first before she runs off to do whatever she does alone. Mope to herself? Meditate? Arson? I don't know, but her walking away after trying to act like she's some wise sage is annoying, and unhelpful. Take looked between the rest of them, he wasn't getting the impression anyone else felt the same way. It... made him feel weak. He didn't like that. Take straightened himself up, and his face went back to it's normal blank slate state and Take spoke in a distant monotone, one he had been hoping to abandon for quite some time, "Alright, whatever you say, Master. Can't make any promises you'll come back with all of us though but-" Take shrugged and turned around saying, "-guess there was never that guarantee anyway." and Take left the living room before anyone else could say a thing.
At even the slightest mention of food, especially what was pretty much free food, Aalis immediately ran on over towards Arian saying, "Me me me me me me me!" she was starving probably as much as anyone else here, and she was a food lover anyway. Why would she pass up a good meal? She was basically trailing Arian like some sort of puppy excited for his meal to be given, which was ironic to her considering Arian by all accounts was the puppy here but hey, she didn't mind a bit of role reversal. But as she walked close, she felt a tickling sensation and suddenly clung to Arian and started whispering, "Watermelon watermelon watermelo-" but her sneezing didn't stop and Aalis let out a sneeze. She looked around to see if there was an area of effect and was grateful nothing happened and she let out a sigh of relief. Unbeknownst to Aalis though, she was glowing a very bright blue color. Like, the aura just radiated off of her for no discernible reason. But she couldn't see it since to her she looked absolutely normal. But her next sneeze didn't seem to be happening yet. Aalis looked at Arian and said, "Hey, this time nothing major happened. This is a good sign!"
Take listened to Atmos mention going to find Tinarah and the Princess of Heart. Take kind of paused at that and thought about it for a moment and recalled Atmos telling them about Princesses of Heart briefly. They were ones with hearts of pure light, which... made an awful lot of sense at to why the Light Chaser would want them. But why? Take was not entirely sure, not could he really figure it out but when Atmos mentioned splitting up with Torrin, Takehiko stepped forward and said, "Wait, Master, is that the best idea? Wouldn't splitting us up cause us more danger, especially with less people?" the boy paused a moment and looked over at everyone else and felt his hand move up towards his chest and said, "We might not be ready but... wouldn't we be stronger together than apart? We all want to help Tinarah and the princess, I don't see why it's a bad idea for us to go there?" Take's face betrayed him more than he would like, his concern was showing more now than it had been previously and he said, "I don't want something to happen to all of us again... I don't want to run to find the new princess if we can't even protect our own partners."
