Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Dani :: Hawaii :: Beach]

Dani immediately felt the “beach party” become very intense from the man who fell from the sky and talking to the group to Dawn’s plea for Bobbi to be protected. She knew from her assassin games that the assassin should not show that the situation has gone tense. “Ah,” Dani responded smirking at Bobbi trying to keep the façade going, “So you managed to have people you know survive. That is good.”

Dani quickly heard someone that sounded exactly like the person that flew from the sky and mentally flipped out. “Crap,” Dani cursed at the news “Looks like this party is going to end, quickly.”

Leviathan, not pleased with the situation, quickly remarked to Dani in her mind, “Try to keep going with what Kyle is doing, try not to attack.”

“Yeah Kyle,” Dani said to Kyle, keeping with the sarcasm, “So far I am glad we are relaxing. I really hope we get to relax for a little while longer. We had to fight battle after battle after battle.”

Dani then looked at the two seriously for a second before saying “So can we go back to looking for a seashell for my necklace?”

[John.:Hawaii:.Waves]

John didn't know Kyle all that well to begin with, so when the man plummeted into the ocean, it seemed a little bit more than odd. It wasn't unnatural, he guessed, in a Kingdom Hearts universe for someone to plummet into the ocean and come up unscathed or just to keep on traveling through the ocean into one's own heart, but to see it first hand was, at the least, rather shocking.

Once he heard the message from Kyle via charm, however, everything changed.

John was not sure whether or not this replica would be as cordial as Joe's had been. He seemed to not be initially attacking, but at the same time he couldn't shake the feeling that this one was here for an actual purpose. The entire thing with Bobbi made him rather uneasy, as he was still getting used to hearing voices in his head... and it didn't help that he still wanted to focus on Amy...

Why do I get the feeling that someone's probably going to almost die again...

Because it happens too often?

...thank you Ixi...

"Uh... no problem dear." John said. He carefully placed Amy back into the waves and continued to look at the replica who had just emerged to greet the Catholic boy...

[Nick :: Hawaii :: Out in the Sea!]

Nick blinked, staring at Ajora's reactions; how he spoke to the group and how he reacted from being close to the Replica. What he concluded: the host of the revolution-minded Ultima was either very unserious and a failure of a villain or enjoyed trolling people because he's a jerk who enjoys pissing others off. Regardless of his mental notes, he couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment. He then spoke to Ajora in a low tone, in the off chance someone could hear him.

"...Really? Really? You're telling me that this is the host of the more violent Ultima? I want to say I'm a little disappointed, but on the other hand, you could just be acting like that to be an annoying b*****d. Which would still leave me somewhat disappointed. But entertained as well."

He sunk his head under the water, then surfaced again and continued to stare at the Kyle copy. "...Regardless, I know who you are. I'm assuming you know who I am? If he could sense you, she," he paused, pointing to Ajora's chest, "should be able to sense him."

[Nick :: Hawaii :: Beach]

Nick smirked, still bouncing up and down as he watched Ajora backstroke. "Alright, so we can skip the whole introduction bullsh*t that I'm terrible at unless I do it in an overly dramatic style, but I'm not here to bore you. And yes, Seymour's pulling the ridiculous spy thing. I'm bored with it, really. I mean, my powers are restricted, I'm doing my best not to get close to screw up the spy gig, and frankly, Seymour's a real p***k so I'm kind of over dealing with him."

He sighed, running a hand through his hair before following Ajora as if ready to fight him. "But my complaining is something I doubt you want to hear. So, I was thinking...What if I go with you? Chaos insists, and I need to get away from this group. So, what's your opinion on this? If any?"

[ Ajora : Beach : Hawaii ]

"Sounds fine to me, though you'd have to run it by Seymour," Ajora responded, once again casual, like having a new groupie was an every-day occurrence. "If you need an exit, I can 'kidnap' you, but if Seymour refuses, I ain't about to argue. I'm a powerful mother f@#$er, but I'm not stupid."

With Demyx shouting in the background, Ajora's ears perked up slightly, giving a soft chuckle. "The Nobody's right! If I wanted to attack, I'd have bombed you from the air!" he shouted, snickering as he did so, though they couldn't see his face; he was still backstroking. Nicholas would have been able to hear it, though- the mischievousness in his laugh.

{Kyle : Hawaii : Serious beach is serious}

Kyle nodded when he heard the other Kyle's reply. He'd figured that had been the case. Not exactly surprising. So far Ajora hadn't made a move, but Bobbi was really quite wound up. "Calm down Bobbi. You don't have a chance of beating him alone. And don't forget that we may have to deal with Azrael as well. At least come up to the beach where you'd be able to move without the water slowing you down." He said, turning his back on them and walking up to the beach, his clothes drying rapidly. Truth be told, he also wanted her up there so that he could defend her, if need be. And it would be much easier to do so without the water in the way.

When he was up on the beach, he turned and looked back at them, listening to Ajora respond to what Demyx had said. While he did understand that the Nobody didn't enjoy fighting, he needed to realize that not everything could be solved by words. Still, Ajora's response left him pondering about Nicholas again. I'm not sure if I should trust him. Defending Azrael from Demyx was...odd, to say the least. And now he's out playing buddy buddy with Ajora, who just confirmed that he was a replica.

Don't forget that he seems to be hiding his abilities. When Ajora first fell out of the sky, he jumped rather high into the air before reaching him. I'm fairly certain that none of you could do that without aid.

I didn't include that because I don't know much about the Ivalician culture or about their abilities. That may be an inherent ability, but it does warrant investigation. "Did either of you play the FF game involving Ivalicians? I didn't and I wanted to know if they could naturally jump as high as Nicholas did." He didn't necessarily want to distrust Nicholas, but he didn't want to be betrayed easily.

[Alan :: Beach :: Hawaii]

"Oh," Alan answered Kyle, "a trained Ivalician soldier can jump, like, twenty feet in the air. Wearing full armor." He smirked mirthlessly. Under the circumstances, it was hard to manage a different kind of smirk. "In gameplay, at least. Not sure how that translates to this world. I mean, in Kingdom Hearts, everyone can jump about as high as they are tall."

He gazed out at where Nicholas and Ajora were talking, wishing he could hear their words. Alan didn't trust Nicholas. He had been suspicious him from the first time Seymour had introduced the treasure hunter. That boy was perpetually glancing about, like a child who knows he did something wrong. He was showing a much greater camaraderie with the replicas than he ever did with the earthlings.

Alan stretched his arms. Why did everything these days have to involve suspicion and violence? It was so fatiguing. Right now, he wanted nothing more than a cup or a pot of coffee - especially since he still hadn't really recovered from his earlier emotional episode.
