[ Kyle : Shipwreck Cove : Black Pearl ~ Brig ]
Kyle had carefully made his way through the lower levels of the deck, twisting and turning with the halls and leaving small puffs of Cosmic Dust behind. He wanted to be warned far ahead of time if someone was, in fact, coming his way. He'd left a large portion of the dust back in the cargo hold with Dawn to insure she did, in fact, remain. If she so much as budged toward the exit, he'd feel it.
Of course, the strain of it was beginning to give him a headache. He'd deal, like he did with all his normal tension headaches. He had to get this done, and he preferred to be alone. If anyone began to walk the halls around the brig, Kyle would feel them and have ample time to respond.
Entering the brig, he looked into the only occupied cell, a look that was caught somewhere between sorrow and sympathy etched into his face. Slowly, knowingly, he walked toward the cell, and fell to one knee.
"Calypso," he said, kneeling before the heathen goddess of the seas, his head bowed. "Before my friends and I leave, I would like one final audience with you, if you would be so gracious as to lend me your ear."

[Joe: Shipwreck Cove: Black Pearl Deck -> Dock]
The male fighter sighed as Dawn left to head on down, scratching his head and still wet hair. Really, he was tired. It'd be nice for a break while they discussed their meeting behind closed doors.
Joe jumped off the ship and onto the dock, forgoing the plank to get off, and immediately noticed a number of pirates glancing in his direction, murmurs and whispers floating in the air. The hell? Did he do something wrong by jumping off or something?
[Azrael: Hawaii: Lugae's Lab]
The male had taken to the corner of the lab that Noku was in before, lounging against the curled up weretiger like one would sit in a beanbag chair. He didn't care that Ajora and the what's his face that ignored him for Ajora left. Not really. But now, maybe he'd finally get some time to relax without people yelling and laughing and screaming near him.

[Nick :: ??? :: ??? >>>> ?????]
Nick blinked as Ajora left into the Corridor of Darkness, then reappeared with no shirt. He raised a brow, then grinned maniacally as he took off his helmet and tossed it to the ground.
"Oh, so silly. Overthrowing a kingdom? What's next, Ephidel? Going to bring forth the dragons to take over the world?"
He backed away a few steps, then dashed towards the portal and launched himself into the air. As he flew through the air, his armor became more like a wetsuit, black as night except for the glowing green Chaos seal on his back. His legs, meanwhile, shifted into a black shark's tail, and he flew straight into the Corridor.

[Anthony ~.~ Shipwreck Cove ~.~ Docks]
"Don't look now," Anthony said as he walked onto the docks and up to Joe, "but I think you've already made some friends." The knight teased the other as he chuckled and pointed at the pirates who were staring and murmuring amongst themselves, most probably at the group's odd attire. Or perhaps it was more so the ship they all walked off of. The Black Pearl is as notoriously well known in this world as Charlie Sheen is back on Earth. "Let's go say 'hi,' or whatever it is pirates say to greet one another. 'A-hoe,' or something like that." Immediately after, he realized his mistake and he shouted in defense, "No wait! I didn't mean 'a-hoe!' I meant 'ahoy!'"

{Kyle : Hawaii : Beach -> Inside of the ship
Well, I feel a bit silly. Did not mean to have that overheard.... He thought as his face flushed a bit in embarrassment. And then they came upon the dome. The giant, blue dome. But it was what lay underneath that really got him. Holy s**t....
"Well...I guess I owe you an apology.... Not as shabby as I thought...." He said, sounding a bit far away. He was a bit in awe at the moment. Not at the blue dome. It was nice and pretty and all that, but it wasn't incredible and huge. Well, not compared to the rest of it. He could feel how far down the ship went, the earth sending him back a clear image of the monstrous ship.
"How in the world did you park this huge ship here? Like, how?" He asked as he followed the commander into the ship.

{Hawaii .:. Beach --> Alien Space Ship} Bobbi looked around as they entered the ship, and let out a long whistle. It was way bigger in person that it was in the movie, assuming this was the same ship. She didn't remember seeing this part, but then again, she didn't really remember much of "Lilo and Stitch." She was actually awed enough by it that she couldn't come up with anything to say, just stared around herself with wide eyes. ~:It is a little big, isn't it?:~ Shiva asked, sounding much less impressed than her summoner was. I seem to remember there were a few aliens so huge an average-sized human male only came up to it's knee. Or waist. Don't remember for sure. Anyway, they need the space.~:Ah.:~Demyx stared around at the interior of the ship as well, impressed by the size and how well-hidden it was. He was just as curious as Kyle how they had managed to get this thing buried underground and still keep the camouflage up.
"Man," he said, half whispering. "Size really does matter."

[Tia Dalma ~ Black Pearl ~ Brig] Tia Dalma heard Kyle come in but did not turn around to face him. She was angrily boring a hole in a wall with her stare, arms crossed over her chest. How dare those insignificant humans lock her away? If she were in her right form . . .
"I be nat able t' escape your counsel," She spat angrily over her shoulder, "Speak as ye wish an' be on your way!"[Gibbs .:. Noelle ~ Shipwreck Cove ~ Docks --> The Magical Mystery Tour . . . of Shipwreck Cove] "Alroight then," Gibbs called, indicating that they were moving on, "Onward! We can't have any of ye gettin' lost 'round here so ye best keep up . . . or else be shot. And Oi aint gonna be pullin' bullets out of anyone's arse, tha's for sure."The first mate of the Pearl lead the group of earthlings on, passing the docks and guiding them around the less-than-stable looking corridors of Shipreck Cove. Most everything creaked as they walked and all of the former ship boards the edifice was constructed of were either molding, growing some form of moss or spores, or covered in nitre. Noelle felt safer and safer as they continued along. First they came to a store room of sorts which Gibbs motioned into. "This here is th' rations store room--all drink and food supplies go to and come from 'ere." He told the group. Noelle poked her head around the corner warily and noticed something significant. There was little else besides barrels of rum in this large store room. Sure, there were some larger cupboards and shelves with some food ingredients on them, but other than that there was an abundance of rum. "Drink is the curse of the land," The agromancer murmured, recanting an Irish proverb she'd heard from her very Irish family, "It makes you fight with your neighbor, shoot at your landlord, and miss 'im." Gibbs gave Noelle somewhat of a triumphant grin, "O'course, rum's been savin' lives as long as a man's been able t'drink it."The small blond rolled her eyes and followed after Gibbs as he began moving on. The next room they came to was the galley and mess hall with a few pirates playing a game of dice. ( "Come 'ere to get yer slop. An' I do mean slop, just don't tell th' cookie I says so.") After this he lead them to the armory, ( "Keep away wit' the open flames, we've rebuilt this room a hundred times.") the main sleeping quarters, ( "Beware the bed bugs . . . because they be real around 'ere.") and yet another armory ( "This one 'as only been rebuilt twice . . . typically the drunker bastards can't make it all the way up the stairs to this one."). "And tha's the most of it." Gibbs finished, bringing the simple tour to an end. "Just keep outta people's way and ye should be safe . . . enough."

[ Sora ; Kyle : Shipwreck Cove : Tour / Docks ]
Sora followed along with the group silently, taking in the sights of Shipwreck Cove. He couldn't help but be awestruck; they had their own personal pirate fortress, complete with armories, bunks, and giant stone walls. Add to that the fact that all the building were made of scrap from old ships...
"This place is so awesome," he said with a wide grin, looking around at the others. A few of them had gone of on their own, such as Kuja (he'd decided to stay on the ship, since that's where they'd end up returning to anyway; "Besides, why would I want to be surrounded by even more pirates? Disgusting.") and Joe. Kyle had never even joined; Sora looked over one of the balconies and saw him sitting on the edge of the docks, looking out toward the opening in the large stone walls.
"So, when do you think we'll be splitting up?" Sora asked the group behind him as he turned to face those that had decided to come on the tour. "I can't wait to see how King Triton's doing."
---
Kyle kicked his bare feet back and forth through the water beneath him, causing small ripples in the port's sea water. His arms were crossed as he sat on the edge of the dock, and though he was facing the exit, he was looking down at the ripples in the water.
He'd made his final plea with Calypso. There was nothing more he could do to ensure she would stay with them after all was said and done; she would be a free goddess of the seas again. Honestly, he couldn't see her putting herself back in human form so soon after gaining her freedom... but they needed her, or so the list said.
What was the list? That question had been bugging him for awhile. What powered its magic? How did it know who could and couldn't help them? Hell, how could a sheet of paper know how to help their specific instance in the first place? But King Mickey had apparently given it to them, and it hadn't exactly led them astray yet.
Still, what would happen if they couldn't get one of them? Would the list stop? It was already highly likely that Calypso wouldn't be joining them, and then there's the issue of the King of Atlantis. They would have to alter the course of the story just to help him survive. And they didn't even have a good clue as to how to reach him. The only thing they had to go on was the word of Celia, the assassin, who had said the city lay directly beneath Atlantica. So how would they get to it? Were there secret caves? They couldn't exactly teleport...
Cross that bridge when you get there. You can do nothing, so stress is pointless.
Still, he could do something about Calypso, and he had- but would it work? And, even more frustrating, why did he seem to be the only one who bothered? To his knowledge, this list was their best hope at finding a way to fix Earth, and yet he seemed to be the only one actively trying to recruit their current target. Did no one else care? Did they just think of this as some adventure?
It doesn't matter. As long as we follow the list, as long as we can get them all together... even if I have to take the list and do it myself.
Kyle felt a slight tug at his heart but ignored it, thinking it nothing more than a flux of anger or blood pressure.

[ Ajora : Atlantica : ??? ]"Well, we've taken care of any guards around the perimeter," Ajora mused aloud as he looked over their target. "Pretty easy, wouldn't you agree? Triton's getting lax in his old age."
Ajora's entire torso was bare, save for the three Command Seals of Ultima: two covering his outer-upper arms, and one covering the majority of his back. His lower body, however, had been transformed to suit the environment, and matched his personality a little too perfectly. His mer-tail was jet black; he had two pectoral fins on either side of his hips, and one larger fin on the bottom. These fins were mostly average sized, with the middles filled with crimson streaks; however, each of the cartilage spines that made up the fins jutted out a few feet farther than the fin itself. They appeared much like sinister tendrils, pitch black with a very thin line of crimson from base to tip. Since all three fins had these extended tendrils, his mer-tail seemed like an ensnaring menace.
Overall, his form was reminiscent of a black betta fish.
"Still, he's got the Trident, so we'll need to be careful," he continued, biting his thumb nail as he contemplated the scenario. He and Nicholas were floating in the sea a little more than one hundred feet above the sea floor, gazing at the rear of Triton's Castle. There were no buildings in this area of Atlantica, giving the two of them more than enough free space. "I'll send in the Lackey, see if I can just sneak it away from him. Prepare your own, in case that doesn't work; we'll have to force it out of his grasp one way or another."

[Dawn : Shipwreck Cove : Docks]
After spending several minutes below the deck of the ship, thinking and contemplating things, Dawn was discovered by one of the pirates who went in the cargo area for supplies. He immediately shooed her out and forced her to leave the Cargo Hold.
Dawn let out a soft breath as she paced on the deck. Her mind wondering back to her previous thoughts. Of everything she had been through the last few days. She had spent 4 days previously, wondering a bamboo thicket. Cursing and blaming herself for her failure. She had been unable to protect Shalynn, Eli and Krystal. Three children who were her responsibility were gone forever. The only thing that was keeping her going now was the faint hope of getting them back. A hope that was very weak. So far she had been unable to help anyone. She had been unable to help aid in keeping anyone safe. Dawn was unable to keep James from being taken away.
~'You got some blame issues. Has anyone ever told you that, Sunlight? How many times have I told you that was not your fault?'~
She let out a sigh as she shook her head. When Dawn wasn't paying attention, one of the pirates that were walking by to work on the Pearl shoved a jug of some sort into her hands. She blinked as she looked at the bottle then the man who simply continued walking. She didn't have to guess twice at the smell, it was something alcoholic. Dawn only rolled her eyes as she looked at the deck. That was when she noticed that Kyle was sitting on the edge, also deep in thought as she was.
~'The ship has brought in a ship of shipwrecks to Shipwreck Cove, I swear. You know what you people need? A good smack on the side of the head. That will fix you all up, I am sure.'~
Dawn rolled her eyes at Garuda as she approached Kyle, "Surprised to see you out here," she said her voice sounding rather timid, "Do you mind if someone joins you? Unless you are still dealing with personal matters and prefer to be alone."

[ Riku ; Seymour ; Cloud ; Alien Police : Hawaii : Beach ]Cloud walked in silence as the group moved forward, contemplating his response. "I think Mickey's led us into something these kids can't handle yet. They're too green."Seymour merely sighed at Quina's response, deciding to merely move on in quiet instead of continuing with the pointless banter. The creature didn't even understand friendship? That was a practical staple in anything with a heart these days. It was like talking to a toddler who hadn't learned his first words.As the group navigated the large halls of the massive ship's interior, the commander couldn't help but chuckle somewhat darkly Kyle's question. "Didn't park it," the commander replied, shrugging slightly. "A little over a month ago, there was this weird meteor shower- most of our sensors were overloaded, so we didn't get much intel on what happened, but one minute we're floating through space, next minute we've crashed on this hunk of rock and can't get the engine running.""The weirdest part, though, is that the engines appear fully functional," he continued, and finally the group turned a corner to face a doorway a bit larger than most. "We've made all possible repairs, done all the scans we can think of, and still we don't know what's preventing them from working- ah, here we are."The commander had just placed his hand into the scanning panel next to the door frame, and within moments, the giant metal doors slipped open, revealing a large, circular command center. The room was easily 20 meters in diameter, with monitors completely surrounding its surface area. Dozens of aliens, many of separate species, hovered around on floating chairs, maintaining their individual monitors. In the center was a large captain's chair, which faced four noticeably-larger screens on the opposite wall of the entrance. "Your Honor," the commander said, standing at attention as he neared the chair. "The attack on the village was taken care of by an additional group of Rangers. They know the mouse that came by earlier but claim not to be the reinforcements."The chair swiveled around slowly, revealing the Grand Councilwoman, her eyes glancing over the group with interest. "Dismissed, Commander Zulgan," she said with a polite nod to the large lizard-humanoid; he saluted her before walking out, leaving the group with her. "So, you're not with King Mickey's reinforcements, then?""I'm afraid not, Your Honor," Riku responded, taking a step forward as he spoke. He was always quick to catch on to the cultures of other worlds. "We're actually trying to follow his trail. However, if he promised you reinforcements, then you obviously need help- I can't speak for the rest of them, but if King Mickey promised you aid, I'd be more than willing to do what I can.""Any help, small or large, would be much obliged, considering we're preparing to fend off an invasion," she said, standing up from her chair to her full height- which was actually taller than Seymour himself, at nearly eight feet. "But something tells me you didn't know about that, did you?"

[ Hades : Underworld ]
"Later, toots," Hades waved off the Replica with a smirk. "Just gimme a ring if you're interested in makin' a deal."
Turning his attention to Cory, he gave a nonchalant shrug. "Couldn't hurt. They're always getting into scuffles, and until you stop being a combat liability, you're pretty useless to me. Question is, will they even let you in? You've flip-flopped on those brats so many times they probably have whiplash."

[ Kyle : Shipwreck Cove : Tour / Docks ]
Kyle lifted his head at Dawn's approaching, craning his head just barely over his shoulder; he never made eye contact, but at least noticed her moving his way out of his peripherals. Now that business was over with, he couldn't help but feel bad. The girl had been through quite a lot since joining their little troupe, and he'd hardly done anything but make it worse.
"Sure, take a seat," he said, patting the spot beside him a couple times before crossing his arms again. He kept his eyes on the water. "Sorry about earlier. I just... I get very goal-oriented. It's nothing personal, I promise."

[Dawn : Shipwreck Cove : Docks]
Dawn shrugged as she put the bottle she had carried on the dock as she sat down, crossing her right leg in front of her while the other was pulled up so she could wrap her arms around it. As much as she'd normally enjoy putting her feet into the water, she had already had her toe nibbled on by a fish. Then she fell in and turned into one. Dawn rather keep her feet out of the water and avoid anymore problems. Or in her case, another panic attack.
"It is fine, I have been through worse," Dawn said looking down at her reflection in the water, "We all have our reasons for doing what we do. I personally needed some time alone anyway. So I won't let it bother me, if you won't."
Though she was careful to keep her voice monotone, her reflection showed the strain of her thoughts she had carried with her from the ship.

[Joe: Shipwreck Cove: Docks]
The male had passed on the tour, instead wandering on his own and getting annoyed with the stares and whispers. So much so, that a small bit of wind seemed to be leaking out of him, stirring the air around him.
"Okay, WHAT is wrong with me?!" Joe yelled, fed up with it all after returning to the docks, when one brave, foolish soul stepped forward.
"...Are ye a mermaid?"
The wind died, Joe staring at the man that said the question. Did he just...FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
"MerMAID?! ARGH!" The male reached up and tore open the front of his shirt with a loud rip, showing his bare, hairy chest as wind seemed to erupt from him. "CHEST HAIR AND NO BOOBS. BROAD SHOULDERS. I'M A GODDAMN MAN! MALE! Jesus just because I like guys and have long hair, I AM NOT A WOMAN!" And with that, the male stomped off, reached the edge of the docks, said a small "Excuse me." that was clipped to Dawn and Kyle, and dove in, his head poking out of the water as his face was held in irritation. "Not a damn woman...."
He didn't care that the pirates thought he was a mythical water creature. The thought didn't even cross his mind. Needless to say, a sore spot was struck.
