 "Oh no!"
Alice squeaked that out as the monstrous man expelled a black breath, from which even more of those creatures appeared. The same ones that tried to nibble on her! Well, they weren't very nice! Not nice at all, really!
"Why must you be so mean? she inquired, watching with fear as the cards were shredded by the Shadow Heartless that erupted from the ground. "What have we done to you? I know the Queen can be a bit mean at times, but I'm sure she means well!"

Zigmund
[Traverse Town> Second District
Zigmund closed the door behind him, definitely wanting privacy for this.
He took in what the man was saying, satisfied at what he had heard so far.
"You haven't. On my old world and in my past life, I was a researcher for the royal court. Some of the scientists their had been researching the heart before the kingdom fell to these heartless,so I have some knowledge on how the heart works."

[Ölüm]
(Unfortunately, there is not a fleck of remorse within me.)
[Traverse Town : First District => Alleyway]
"What, more ranged attacks? Is that all you peons know around here.
Ölüm decided to move quickly else he may be drowned and blown to bits in the same instant. Not wanting to sacrifice finesse for survival, he gracefully did a back flip onto the balcony of a building behind him. Then, as the two attacks came his way, Ölüm dove through the open window and ran through and dove through the window on the other side, which unfortunately was closed. The window shattered and he suffered several cuts, but what he wanted to achieve was a success.
The two attacks slammed into the side of the building and destroyed the frontal wall of it. The rain in first district now started to flood the area with the liquid poison as the rain began to dissipate.
Ölüm found himself in an alleyway and noticed that at the end of the alley was a waterway of what he assumed was connected to the water source in Traverse Town.
Oh, this is too perfect...
He had read that spies in ancient and medieval times would poison the water supply of a city in order make the city submit to a foreign invader, or just to create havoc for an enemy... Ölüm enjoyed the latter of the two motives wholeheartedly.
Quickly, he ran over to the other side of the alley and looked at the gold mine of death that rested before him. With a quick clap for joy, Ölüm stuck his arms into the water and flexed them. Little poisonous needles found their way out of his veins, but all he needed was a p***k in order to let out the liquid poison, which was, in essence, his blood. The poison raced out of his arms and acted, once more as an independent entity as Ölüm found himself too weak to control the poison any longer.
Multiply and conquer my beauties...
A dark portal opened up behind him as he fainted and fell back through it. It closed when he had fallen all the way through. He laid there unconscious on the floor of his room in Castle Oblivion. The blood loss had been far too great for him to take, but now that he was in nature once more, he could slowly regenerate himself for the next mission.
His room was nothing like the traditional set-up the others had. It consisted of a small field with a tree in the center. The field had tall grass in it, and Ölüm lay there peacefully as he slowly began to regenerate.

[Traverse Town : First District]
He nodded toward the man with the blades (Elde) with minor thanks before listening to Aria. Soryuju gave a look of exasperation as she responded- black hair, the same name; could it possibly be his brother? If so, what was he doing with these monsters who attacked for no apparent reason? She'd said something about him being 'pleased' with their 'progress'. Were they all partners? Cohorts? That didn't make sense- the Vereor he knew had trained alongside him to uphold the peace, not destroy it!
"Now, tell me- who is he to you?" he asked, his arms slowly beginning to regain feeling. "How do you know him?"

{A heart shed for power is the only heart of worth.}
[Traverse Town : First District]
Upon Zigmund's reply, the Dusks spasmed once more before disappearing into voids of black and silver.
"That is good to hear- the search for truth is an honorable one if there ever was one," he replied with a brief chuckle. "And he who holds the truth, he who owns knowledge- he is certainly the one with power. So, would you say you were questing to obtain such power with the knowledge you would possess? Or are you merely researching for the sake of researching?"

[Traverse Town :: First District --> Castle Oblvion :: Aria's Room]
Aria merely narrowed her eyes at Haruko, she didn't understand why Vereor brought her to the Conclave in the first place. She turned her attention back to Soryuju, though not before casting silence on Haruko, taking her voice. Ahh... the sound of silence. She pretended to not even hear Number VIII and opened her mouth to speak, still wondering if she should mention that Vereor... his brother, was right in the very square with him.
"He saved us." She answered with finality before she summoned a dark portal in the ruined ground and fell through. The hole closed up in swirls of black and purple before dissipating all together.

Zigmund
[Traverse Town> Second District
Zigmund sighed at Vereor's question "Before I became a Nobody, I researched ways to power, machines, computers, various technologies," he said in a tone that sounded both angry and regretful. "But I was foolish. For all my great intelligence, I never thought of using my knowledge for my own betterment or strength, even as I was mocked by my piers."
"Those days are over now, though," he continued with a smile "Even if I still do research on whatever strikes me, I now see the true strength in knowledge, and I know that in a universe as vast as this, I have the right to obtain it."

{Ooo goody what are we torturing today...} [Traverse Town; First District] Haruko at the momment was sad when she realize she couldn't speak at the momment. However, when Aria left... the spell went away. She was way beyond pissed and just wanted to sit in her room for awhile. She then summoned her heartless of torture (aka a heartless guillotine and the weel of death) by a mere snap of her fingers. She then decided to head home and then formed her dark portal. She then stepped in and dissapeared before anyone else could spot her. --------------------- [Castle Oblivion; Haruko's room] Haruko landed right inside of her room and instantly threw her ring across the room. Luckly it landed on the dresser but she didn't want to think about the Conclave at the momment. She soon went outside to her weird balcony that her a dark curtain around the outside so that way she had some privacy and no one knew when she was outside. She sat out there and eventually slept on the balcony thinking why she was in the Conclave and giggling about torturing Aria to death.

{A heart shed for power is the only heart of worth.}
[Traverse Town : First District]
"Such ambition- it seems we share a common goal," he replied, once more turning to the window. It was no longer raining now... and in the courtyard, he spotted Aria leaving through a corridor of Darkness. Across from her, a blond in familiar clothing, a familiar spear on the ground next to him... a familiar spear for a familiar boy from a familiar world.
It seems Oresia shines upon you, brother, as always.
"The people who were attacking this place are gone now- back to our headquarters," he explained, craning his head around just barely to get a look at the male in the shop, his hood still hiding his face. "We seek knowledge and the power it holds, and you have intrigued us. The offer I spoke of earlier- we would like you to join our ranks. Far wiser for us to work in tandem, no?"

[ ȤęҟνƴƦ ] {Don't fear the dark... fear what's in it.} [Wonderland : Bizarre Room -> Queen of Heart's Courtyard -> Castle Oblivion] In like fashion to his last few exits, Zekvyr once again found himself in an unknown and random area. He had walked through the small door this time, after a brief conversation with the door nob, and now he was in a Courtyard of sorts. And he wasn't alone. Willing his clothes to change color to match his surroundings, the drow immediately faded into the shadows, nearly invisible to anyone, even if they were looking right at him. It was made all the easier by the presence of heartless. They added to the darkness, created more shadows for him to move in. He spotted Fal'navi immediately, and the girl, who could only be Alice. She was backing away from him, and also trying to avoid a group of cards. There were several other beings in the Courtyard, one with a very loud, very annoying voice screaming for an execution. To top it all off, Fal'navi had summoned even more heartless to keep the cards at bay. This provided even more cover for the clever drow. The noise of the Queen drowned out his footsteps. The darkness of the heartless, and his camouflage clothing and naturally dark skin hid his form. Fal'navi might have seen him mere seconds before he grabbed Alice. Alice didn't see him at all. He grabbed her from behind, reveling in her sudden fear, and Fal'navi's incredulous look (will edit if that's not kosher). Their eyes met. Zekvyr gave him a wicked smile, opened a dark portal behind him, and disappeared into it, Alice in tow. He made sure to shut it after he left.

Her words seemed to sap the life right out of him, his eyes wide as he went over what she told him. He made no effort to stop her, not even a reaction to her leaving. His brother... saved them? Those vile people, who caused so much harm to this world with but a passing thought? Why? Why would he...
She's lying. She has to be. Why would she tell the truth?
Shaking his head, he frowned, realizing that the rain had stopped, but only after flooding the entire lower region of the First District, including the now-destroyed diner, at least for 3 to 5 inches. He shook his head, hoping to throw the negative thoughts away before turning to the male who stood near him (Elde).
"We need to get everyone up to higher ground!" he said, looking around to the others while grabbing his spear and attaching it to the latch on his back. Most of them seemed to be doing alright, but...
"Hefin!", he shouted, running over to the male who was currently lying down, almost unconscious. With the poisonous acid up to past their ankles, Soryuju knew Hefin wouldn't last long in the liquid. So, kneeling down, he tried to lift the man with all his might up to his feet, though his own legs were starting to burn pretty badly due to the acid. "Come on, you oaf, we gotta get to higher ground!"

Zigmund
Traverse Town> First District
Zigmund contemplated this for a moment. Vereor's offer was defiantly good, but if everyone was as ambitious as he was Zigmund would be watching his back regularly. Still, these people had knowledge, were powerful enough to leave most of a district in ruins, and if he rejected, he would probably be executed right here. Resolving himself, Zigmund responded
"A single piece of machinery is merely a scrap unless it works with its counterparts. The mightiest cannon is nothing without every piece it has, working in tandem. In short, I'll join you."

[Fal'Navi] "...The shadows beckon." [Wonderland::Queen of Heart's Courtyard >> Castle Oblivion] Gone. In one swift move, his prey was taken from him, taken away by that bloody drow in one fell swoop! He was the commanding officer in this mission, not that stupid monkey! How dare he not do his mission! The Wrathful Dragon was angry, and the Drow was most definitely getting a can full of whoop***. Fal'navi opened a portal back to Castle Oblivion, and upon arriving, yelled something very loud and very simple. "ZEKVYR! YOUR HEAD WILL BE MINE, DAMMIT!"

.: Traverse Town | Second District -> First District † ________
¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ [Bollocks.] Storming back out the Hotel door, Orielle - now fully armed - ran back towards the First District. She didn't pay too much attention to whoever was still in the Second District, but did notice out of her peripheral vision that the number had decreased a bit.
Shoving open the gates (the glossy adhesive was gone?) Orielle glanced around the First District and gaped at what she saw. The sickly green fog that had completely clouded her vision before had disappeared, providing her with a clear view of what had happened.
All the glass was shattered and lay glistening on the cracked pavement, which was, funnily enough, entirely blanketed with a translucent mossy liquid.
Gawking at the very, very peculiar sight she'd never thought she'd see in all her years, Orielle heard people moan and cries of worry, both of which made her stomach squirm in and unfamiliar and somewhat painful fashion. "KAZANMACHI?!!" she called, standing between the gates she was holding open with her hands. She really didn't want to step anywhere near the green... WHATEVER. "KAZANMACHI, GET YOUR SORRY A** OUT HERE RIGHT THIS MINUTE OR SO HELP ME, I WILL BOOT YOUR BE-HIND RIGHT BACK TO ARCHADES!!"[Absolute bollocks.]

[ ȤęҟνƴƦ ] {Don't fear the dark... fear what's in it.} [Wonderland : Castle Oblivion : Kitchen] Placing Alice gentle in a corner so that she was facing the wall, he put a finger to her mouth. He whispered, "Shh," into her ear, and then released her. So far, she hadn't actually seen her captor. He wondered if she'd be too terrified to turn around. Things were certainly about to get interesting... He had just gotten her situated when Fal'navi arrived, screaming a challenge. Zekvyr leaned back against a wall, seemingly unconcerned. "Upset?" he mocked.
