While Qamar watched Aria describe and name each person, she ended up going on to talk with Tinarah and Chrono again. Thus, Qamar was back at step one all over again. Alone and not really having anybody to talk to. While they had now met Edna Mode, Qamar was just not interested in the house. "I've lived in a castle too long...these sorts of places have no affect on me." she commented, following Aria about. There was nobody else she cared to wander with, anyway. So she stuck to Aria for now. Though she did hear a violin getting played, Qamar saw it was Tinarah and just chalked it up to something else the girl did to help her calm down. That reminded Qamar about her meditation. And then she, somehow, remembered how tired Torrin looked. "Hey Aria...?" she started. "When we get back to a safe place with Torrin, we probably should make him...ya know, sleep?" she suggested. "The guy looks absolutely exhausted. I would be too if a blood curdling scream happened in my vicinity." she stated the last part, not knowing of the screams origin. "I wonder who made that scream anyway..."
"I knew it..." Daeni muttered, not even standing up while Cerdic got up. She only rose when the earth began to shake and darkness could be seen seeping from the cave. Cerdic was right. Daeni failed to protect and watch Mora and now this was happening. Daeni felt tears prick her eyes as she stood there, shaken. She wanted to cry, knowing Mora was probably lost. She didn't want to continue anymore. She just wanted to get away from this world and escape with their lives in tact. Who cared if their memories came back, at least they'd be alive, right? Daeni followed inside and saw Cerdic take a stance between Alder, Chrono, and Mora's now possessed body. Daeni didn't hesitate a moment, running to Cerdic's side. "Don't need help, you say..." she muttered. "Cerdic, you're not exactly acting yourself right now and I'd really like you to be your old self again! I miss the old womanizer who was always flirting and making wise cracks." Her heart felt like it was on fire from the pain she felt, knowing what was happening to Mora was her fault. "Because at least you were useful and didn't cause things like this to happen!" she yelled, running over to Mora, reaching into the darkness and trying to grab the girl's hand. "Mora! Come back, please. I'm sorry I left you alone. I'm useless...forgive me and come back to us." Her voice echoed, hopefully reaching the girl in whatever state she's in. Daeni couldn't feel her body, but she could just tell Mora was there. "It's my fault you're like this. It's my fault I can't just let people be alone. I care to much about other people and let that get ahead of me..." she said, her hands still grasping for something to hold. "Let me save you, Mora!"
Daeni looked up from Mora and saw Cerdic walk out. Having finished taking care of Mora, she stood up and looked down at Mora. "Just in case..." she said, casting a Reflect spell to protect her if anybody tries to attack her. "Don't move, okay?" she said, walking towards where Cerdic went. She could tell something was wrong with him and she was curious if maybe she could make him feel better. She was bad at it, accoridng to her track record with him, but it didn't hurt to try. She stopped at the cave entrance and thought more. If she annoyed him, he'd just get angrier and she'd get sadder. Daeni bit her lip and knew maybe leaving him alone a bit longer would be something she ought to do. She wanted to help Cerdic feel better. He looked so hurt right now because of something and she just wanted to help make him feel better. She caught wind of him wondering why he couldn't remember something. She wasnt sure what he was referring to, but she finally decided to walk over. Not saying a word, she stood beside him a moment before she sat down next to him and looked over the horizon. She sat in silence for a good bit before she glanced over to Cerdic. "Please tell me what's troubling you." she requested. "I wanna know so I can maybe try and help you. I don't like seeing you so upset..." Daeni sighed and removed her mask to take in some fresh air. "There's so much I don't know about you or the others. It's all gone and I really want to get to know you again. I want to be your friend again, Cerdic. I don't want you to hate me." she said, looking down. "Sorry if I'm being annoying right now...my track record ain't exactly perfect with you."
Qamar watched the ones walk off and she was left with the rest. She followed along to the mansion and she didn't really pay attention to what happened. She just wanted to get things over with at this point. As it was, she was completely alone with people she didn't even know a single thing about. She didn't even know their names and half of them most likely didn't care about her. She was as alone as she was when her mother died. Nobody was there that she could count on. Adalric even left her and that scared her deeply. Her heart fluttered in her chest and she looked around at the others. Tinarah would most likely never want a thing to do with her. She didn't even know the names of the rest of them. "I'm scared, Master Kide..." she muttered under her breath. For the first time since Master Kide had saved her, she was alone. Truly and utterly alone. Following behind the group, Qamar looked up at them and her eyes stopped on Aria. That girl could be friends with anybody. She was the kind of person who'd never treat you bad unless you did bad by her. Qamar was sure she hadn't done anything to Aria, so she hurried to catch up to Aria. "So um...how do these missions usually go?" she asked. "And uh, I'm gonna need a rundown of who all is in this group...I didn't catch many of their names."
"Many forms, huh?" Ananta said, tapping her chin with her fingers. It reminded her of something she was taught when she was much younger. "Kind of luck...your body changes and you can be whatever you want. Like water...never the same, always different." Ananta stepped to Steel and looked him over once more. "Wanna hear a story? It kind of is the same as yours...?" Ananta stood next to Steel and looked at the rest of their friends. "It's a story my grandmother told me many times...I'm quite fond it, honestly. It's kind of sad, you know." Ananta sighed and looked up at the sky. "On my world, there's the Mother Crystal. Within her is the souls of every living person on my world and any who've taken refuge...my soul will return to it some day, but my own soul isn't really mine. When my world was formed, it was formed by an ancient keyblade master who had reached a point where she wanted to make a safe haven for those she cared about...all her friends and those she loved. Her crystal grew into the Mother Crystal and eventually, she too passed on and became the guardian within the crystal. Her soul splintered and every few generations, a part will be placed within the soul of a newborn who will go on to save the world once more." Stretching, she looked to Steel. "But that's just a story Mothers and Grandmothers tell their children to help them sleep. It ends with us being told we're all children of the Mother Crystal, her life flows through our own crystals, and one day we return to her. It's complex after that...." Ananta shrugged. "I don't want to get into our burial and sendings. I already know I have to do a few when I get home anyway. Sorry, I rambled." Ananta knew she probably shared too much, but she just wanted to talk to somebody for once about her home. She missed it way more than she let on.
Cant wait for sign ups! :O
Every had stepped forward and agreed that just resting would be a bad idea. Qamar wanted to voice her opinion, but she knew she didn’t care where she was stuck. She just didn’t want to find herself getting bored. Especially after that last battle, she was ready and itching for another fight. Once Master Thallasa chose who would go, Qamar was a little disappointed. “Aw, man…” she mumbled, sighing. She then looked at Aria who also seemed a little disheartened. Qamar put a hand on her shoulder and smiled. “Next time, okay?” she chuckled. She watched Aria promise some hot chocolate to Torrin and that made Qamar’s mouth water. “Oh man, I want some too!” she said, excited. “That hot chocolate was really good last time, Aria!” Adalric approached Mr Incredible and spoke to him about the device. Once he asked Thallasa if he could go, she stepped up and patted Adalric on the back. “Yeah I can definitely agree with letting him go. He’s got way more stamina than even me.” she said. “And I do weekly 3k runs.” She smiled to Adalric and stretched herself. She then returned to Aria and Torrin. “Here.” she said, producing an energy bar from her pocket. “I was saving it for later, but I think you’re the one who needs it most right now. You look like utter s**t right now. It ought to help you at least feel a tiny bit better.” Regardless of him taking it, she did shove it into his hand. Whether he ate it or not was up to him. “I promise I’ll make sure Aria is safe. You have my word.” she bowed to Torrin. “Besides, I’m the fastest and strongest girl here. All I need is for her to watch my back and Aria is plenty capable of that.”
Qamar watched as two masked men came skating in and taking care of the fire. All the people that were hiding ran back out and tried to get autographs from the two guys as they approached the group. They ending up chastising them for not wearing masks which confused her. “Why would we wear a mask…?” she questioned. And then that one clown came back, laughing manically and using some kid of magitek device to...keep their magic and health from restoring. Glancing at Torrin, Qamar chuckled upon seeing him suffering. “And here I thought you’d have more stamina than this.” she said, straightening her clothes and dusting herself off from the ice. It was cold, sure, but she kind of liked the cold. Cold made her feel refreshed and invigorated. “Torrin, he’s a bad guy, it’s kinda obvious they may probably know about keyblades after all.” she stated. Thallasa had gone off to ask the heroes where they could stay. Qamar didn’t mind finding a place to take a rest, but she did look over at Aria after Torrin asked if she was doing okay. “Torrin, you shouldn’t dote on her so much. Aria looks capable enough to me.” She nodded, crossing her arms. “You...you are okay, though, aren’t you?” Qamar suddenly had concern on her face. Sure she was okay, but even after Torrin looked back, Qamar couldn’t tell how the others were feeling. Spoiler: Stats For Later HP: 40/50 AP: 46/46 MP: 20/30
Ap boost for Qamar. Now at 46 AP.
The name they give the ubereats orders. I tried uberats and they're LITERALLY JUST BARELY NOT COMING TO MY AREA.
Daeni nodded at Chrono and shrugged, not sure if he’d be happy being called Aevum. After all, he was probably the one missing the most memories of them all. Though Daeni was in a close second, even if she was remembering things, most of them weren’t even hers. As they walked back to the cave, she caught a glimpse of the cloak from earlier. “Oh!” she said, running to grab it before joining back with the others. She laid it across Mora as they walked, hoping it’d help her at least keep warm. The girl looked awful and Daeni could only imagine the pain she was in. As they reached the cave again, Daeni was wondering how’d she go about trying to fix the wound. She caught a glimpse earlier and wondered if just covering it would work. Luckily, they were back in the cave by the time Mora finally just fell off of Cerdic like a sack of bricks. Daeni put her arm under Mora’s neck and cradled the girl in her arms. She glanced down to see darkness seeping from her wound. The girl mentioned being marked by Ria and how it was finally taking its toll. Alder and Chrono were focused on the extractor while Daeni was left with Cerdic to protect Mora and watch for Ria. Daeni laid Mora down and pulled her mask back over her mouth and nose. “Cerdic, I know you like girls, but at least look away while I do this.” she teased, creasing her eyes and chuckling at him. She then pulled Mora’s shirt up, exposing her stomach. She then pulled a small bottle out. It only had a tiny amount of liquid inside of it. “This was a Potion at some point, but I used a lot of it. Heck if I know it’ll work on your wound at all. All I can do is try, right?” Daeni said, lifting Mora’s head and tipping the bottle against her lips. She laid the bottle down and then went to tearing the cape to a more manageable size. Once done, she started to wrap Mora’s torso. “I’m hoping if I cover it, it’ll at least not seep darkness anymore...but I don’t know...Mora please, stay awake, okay?” Daeni said, taking her mask back off and sighing heavily. “How do you feel?”
Qamar nodded at Torrin, knowing he had a better handle on exactly what was going on and what he could tell was coming. Suddenly, she heard screams and looked around to see people running away from heartless. “Finally, some more fun!” she boasted, running forward. While her comrades defeated their own enemies, Qamar was already confident she could dispatch of the heartless with easy. After all, she trained for this day for years. She was more than ready to dish out some hurt. She approached a defender and laid the smackdown on it, slashing it different ways and jumping forward towards a Bolt Tower once it was defeated. She hopped on the face-ball thing that the Bolt Tower shot out and stabbed it with her keyblade, a wry grin on her face. She enjoyed this as much as she thought she would. Maybe even a little more than was necessary. Either way, she landed on her feet and dusted herself off, glancing around. A neoshadow crept under her and grabbed her ankle. Qamar stared down with disgust, twirling her keyblade around and down into the dark pool the heartless was coming from. A puff of darkness appeared and Qamar had a look of pure amusement on her face. “Stupid creature…” she mumbled. The sound of a shield and clinking armor loomed behind Qamar. Zapping, crackling noises echoed around her as 3 Yellow Operas floated about, ready to strike. One even had the gall to shoot it’s spell off onto Qamar. She took the hit and looked at it, a pure evil grin on her face as she zoomed between all 4 enemies. Striking the yellow operas once each, she grabbed the head of the defender and stabbed it’s back 4 times. It finally disappeared in a puff of dark smoke, leaving behind Qamar. She raised her hand and pointed a finger at herself and laughed. “I had fun, to say the least.” HP: 40/50 AP: 0/44 MP: 20/30 Defeated: 2 Defender, 1 Bolt Tower, 1 Neoshadow, and 3 Yellow Operas. Enemies Remaining 0 Defenders (16 AP) 0 Bolt Tower (15 AP) 0 Neoshadow (13 AP) 4 Yellow Operas (3 AP) 19 Blue Rhapsodies (3 AP) 32 Icy Cubes (3 AP) So nice Sonic Blade to kill 1 defender (4 hits) 3 yellow operas (3 hits) for 7 hits.
Qamar bounced off the masked man’s green barrier and landed next to Torrin and Aria. She stood ready to continue the fight, but it seemed the clowns were all ready to leave. That one with white paint suddenly threw his bombs at them all at once. Qamar cast a reflect spell to try and shield them as she turned to Aria and grabbed a hold of her, trying to protect her. That was when she felt Torrin grab the two of them and suddenly they were at the park below. Qamar let go of Aria and checked over her. She then checked over herself and sighed. “Well, at least we got out of there….and no problem.” she nodded towards Torrin. He then went on to chastise the poor girl for helping him out. Luckily, he stopped, but that only caused Qamar to cross her arms. “Torrin, didn’t she just, like, save your asz?” Qamar asked, watching him suddenly change his tone. She shrugged and scratched her head. “He’s kind of right, though...uhhh….” Qamar realized she didn’t exactly introduce herself to Aria. “Forgot to introduce myself. Name’s Qamar. Good job with the Thunder spell. And yeah, be careful, kay?” She smiled before looking at Torrin once more. “So I wanna make sure of something first. Those guys had a weird feeling being given off. They’re bad guys though, so that’s obvious, but I don’t think my feeling was because they’re bad. Something else is playing here with them and I don’t think I like it. Did you feel anything?” she asked Torrin. “Being who you are, you felt it, right? I’m not so good at feeling that stuff…” It was true. Qamar could tell the darkness in a person IF she was close enough to them, but only like right up close to them and even then she had to be near them long enough to be so sure. “Do you think that masked guy was a clown too…?” she joked.
Cerdic’s words rang in Daeni’s ears. Sure he was right, but she could tell he wasn’t exactly happy about her being able to have these memories. Like maybe he felt like he wasn’t as useful or something. Her eyes stared at the ground a moment before he placed a hand on her shoulder. She smiled and placed a hand on his for a moment. For some reason, when he did that, she didn’t quite as mind it now as she did before. She was used to it and it made her happier. His last sentence made her smile fade a little. Just because he said she shouldn’t worry about him didn’t mean she was going to just stop doing it. She watched him walk over and offer Mora a ride on his back. “Tired…” Daeni tapped her chin. “It’s kind of like when we all just...passed out from the extractor.” She looked at Alder and Cerdic. Alder mentioned he could fix it and even mentioned something in the cave that could handle the core. That meant they’d be able to hopefully finish things once and for all. A password and a username of some sorts? Perhaps that was needed to get the extractor to work properly. She looked over to Chrono and spoke up. “Got any idea, Chrono? Or should we just call you Aevum at this point?” she asked, a chuckled rising out of her. “Sorry, sorry. Anyway, um...maybe the letters are in order of like, those pins we were wearing when we first woke up? Mine had a 6 on it, but why’d the D and A switched….? Or maybe a letter is missing…” she began to think what each letter meant… “K for Kara and 4 C’s that stand for Chrystopher, Chloe, Chrono, and Cerdic….oh you’re missing a C!” she looked at Alder as they had no began to walk back. “That’s why I was confused why me, D, was the 5th letter…” Daeni rambled a bit, probably not making sense. “Then we have R for Relli, A for you Alder, M for….Marley….X for Xen. Any body else…?”
"You need to approach people more. Make more friends.” Ananta said, walking around the general area a little, not really wanting to stand in one spot. She thought about what Steel said and she turned around and grabbed his...hand claw thing. What even would you call it? Is it a paw? A claw? A hand? Who knows. Ananta just grabbed it and shook it. “Well, if I’m only ever your only friend, you can always come to my world and live a nice life. At least then you’d not have to be subjected to weird crap.” She let go and chuckled to herself. “No matter what happens from now on, let’s stay friends.” she said. “Now, I got another question...why do you look like this?” she motioned to his body.
Qamar watched Floor 10 get cleared out and so she went down a floor. Looking around, she found two men clinging to one another in the bathroom. One had a hickie that, upon inspection, looked rather...large. Qamar shrugged and grabbed both men under arms, walking back to a broken window and hopping onto her keyblade glider. She got back to the ground and watched both men run to Master Thallasa, seeing her cure the others. Afterwards, they embraced one another and turned to Qamar. They both said their thinks and walked off, holding hands and looking happier than ever. A smile stretched across Qamar’s face. She approached Master Thallasa and took advantage off a moment’s rest. She even had time to case Cura on herself, feeling a little better. Though the smoke had gotten to her, she tossed the scarf aside and looked around at her comrades. She took note of who was there and who was still rescuing people. She didn’t see Torrin and Aria, however, so Qamar got a little worried. Gripping her keyglider, she rode it high up and started to look in the building and around the general city, wondering if maybe he had wandered off someplace. She heard explosions and glanced over to the noise source to see a man with a white face and bombs strapped to his chest. Next, a bouncing clown appeared and she could just tell those two were trouble. Not to mention the third guy who just wore a mask. Aria seemed to have made her way over and even cast a Thunder spell. Qamar chuckled to herself and decided she’d better get that jerk with the mask herself. The bomb guy would probably be handled in due time, but the mask guy looked way more threatening. Taking her chance, she sped her glider over to the rooftop and jumped off, grabbing her keyblade from the light produced by the glider. She then dove towards the masked man, aiming her keyblade at his stupid mask face. Saved 2 people from floor 9. 2/10 people left on floor 9.
Qamar stepped through the portal to find herself hopping out onto a busy sidewalk. Luckily, nobody noticed the group as they wandered through and she was thankful for that. Looking about, she noticed everyone else made it safely and she was about to ask Thallasa what they needed to do before she suddenly heard an explosion. Her eyes darted around until she saw a building on fire. Others were already running up to help. Qamar followed Torrin's example and tossed her keyblade up. She jumped up and landed on her glider. She held on tight as she zoomed up to the 10th floor and watched her comrades grab children and help them down. Having no way to cover her face, Qamar saw an older woman reaching out to her desperately from a window. Qamar grabbed the woman and had her sit on the glider a moment as she floated down to the ground. The woman hugged Qamar tightly and gave her a scarf. She smiled and nodded at Qamar. Qamar looked up and rode back up, finding an older man passed out with a young boy trying to wake him up. She first placed the man on her glider and then she held the boy tight against her body. Back on the ground, she handed the gentleman off to paramedics as the young boy hugged her, thanking her for saving them. Qamar chuckled to herself and wiped the sweat off her forehead, taking deep breaths of fresh air. Qamar went to floor 10. 6/15 people left on Floor 10.
Freaking amaury got you sick. Screw that guy ヽ(｀Д´)ﾉ
Ananta laughed at Steel, giving him a playful arm punch. "Yeah you're pretty tough and fast because of that stuff, huh?" She commented, shaking her hand after the punch. She looked at it to see a bruise over her knuckles. She doesn't even remember getting the bruise. Shrugging, she looked at Steel curiously after he asked about her turning into a bird. "I was a parrot. We helped a lion become king of his pride and defeat his evil uncle who let darkness consume him. Kaida was a bird, too. A cute, energetic bird. She sure ran around a lot, that's for sure." Ananta laughed again, remembering how quickly they ran from the hyenas at one point. A thought crossed her mind and Ananta had to ask it. "Do you mind if I ask something? Am I the only one that ever takes time to actually talk to you? I don't usually see anybody else even stand near you after we finish any world's." She asked, hoping the question wasn't too personal.
Ananta returned the side hug and smiled at Kaida. She watched her seperate Hikaru and Aux, a chuckle rising from her. Looking around, Ananta saw everyone sort of wandering about, doing their own thing. She started to wonder to herself if she ought to change clothes, too. After all, she was a master now and needed to look...more...mastery....? She shrugged to herself and looked about, thinking about it. In the end, Ananta decided to stick with what she had on. After all, what's the point of changing when she only just recently did so? Glancing up, she saw Steel hanging about by himself as he usually did. Closing her eyes a moment, she smiled and walked over to him. "I take it everything went well? You fit in naturally there, huh?" she joked. "Though I never did think I'd have to change into a bird..." she lamented about her own world. "You been okay?" she asked.
