{Demyx .:. Hawaii .:. Mothership .:. Sleeping Quarters >> Halls}
Demyx wasn't quite sure what to make of Dawn snagging Anthony's shoe, until she laughed and ran out of the room. He chuckled and shook his head, deciding to go ahead and follow her into the hallways of the ship as Anthony gave chase. Demyx went at a much, much slower pace, watching the two disappear down the hall. He remembered his way out--he wasn't that much of an idiot--so he let them get ahead of him. It wasn't like he would get lost anyway.
He made it to the entrance not long after Dawn had ducked behind Kyle, though Demyx was much farther down the hall at the time.

{Bobbi (and Michelle) .:. Hawaii .:. Mothership .:. Halls}
As Dawn shot down the hallway, followed by Anthony, Bobbi blinked for a moment and shook her head. Michelle murmured slightly in her half-doze, and the Archer started walking towards the entrance to the ship again. Demyx eventually caught up and passed as well, but just gave her an odd look. He didn't even bother to offer to help Michelle to a bed, the jerk!
~:You're doing well enough on your own,:~ Shiva pointed out.
A gentleman would still ask, Bobbi grumbled to her summon, but didn't really dwell on it. It wasn't like Demyx was the most chivalrous Nobody out there, and Bobbi wasn't about to try to make him act like someone he wasn't. Or even wasn't anymore, or whatever. Instead, she made sure Michelle wasn't about to run into anything, and walked past everyone else out to the Red Rose.
"Meet you guys on the Rose," she said as she passed by.

[ Ajora ; James ; Replica Procession : Castle That Never Was : Altar of Naught -> Where Nothing Gathers ]Ajora snorted at Nicholas' comment, especially the title 'Lord'. As much as the idea of being so-called enticed him, he would be foolish to lay such a claim to those in his current company.
As the three in front of him (Elleon, Louis, and Nicholas) all parted to let him pass, he made his way down the wide staircase, which twisted to circle the large platform they were originally on. As he did so (and assuming the others with him followed immediately after), the ten enslaved Replicas all turned simultaneously and began to walk, each step in unison, behind the group, following them down the stairs.
The procession didn't have far to descend (only going 90-degrees around the Altar) before reaching the large arch-- beyond it, if they looked, they would see into Ruin and Creation's Passage, a grand hall with hovering platforms leading down to another doorway. Ajora, however, had no intention of taking the scenic route; strolling into the archway, a Corridor of Darkness opened, taking all who entered through the Darkness...
---
... and into a large, circular white room with no visible entrance or exit. Known to the Organization as Where Nothing Gathers or, less formally, the Round Room, the only things in this room were 13 large white thrones and a massive round table in the center, bearing the Nobody Crest. While normally, the thrones had varying heights, since the Organization's collapse, all of the thrones were equal in height, at ground level.
Each person would have appeared out of an individual corridor beside a throne, separated from each other by a few other thrones so as to make it easier to speak to one another. The Enslaved Replicas appeared around the rim of the room closer to Ajora, merely standing in the shadows.
Ajora, upon entering, took off his black suit-esq blazer and threw it across the back of his throne, leaving him in his black pants and a silky-maroon long-sleeved button up. As he took a seat, he casually crossed his legs and, while waiting for the others to take their seats (if they wanted to sit closer to one another, well, who the hell was he to stop them?), waved one hand back and forth while glancing boredly at the round table; as he did so, a thick veil of viscous Darkness covered the table entirely, blotting out the image of the Nobody Crest.
"With the Organization's collapse, I figured it would simply be wasteful not to put such a fine room to use," he explained, smiling to his companions. "I hope you find the accommodations to your liking? I am trying to be an adequate host."

[Nicholas :: Castle That Never Was :: Altar of Naught -> Where Nothing Gathers]
Nick quietly walked out of the portal and stared amongst the thirteen thrones, taking a deep breath. One week ago, he wouldn't have pictured that he'd be in the Kingdom Hearts universe, visiting places that he had only seen in the games and on Youtube...Yet here he was. He looked to Ajora, then took two steps and leaped up into the air and over the table, landing to Ajora's left.
He gave a straight faced look to Ajora before taking the throne to Ajora's left and taking a seat. "Oh yes, Ajora, these accommodations are quite nice. I am curious, though. Are more people going to join us? Or is just the six of us who get to partake in this tea party?" His foot subconsciously began tapping against the floor repeatedly; an old habit he had never quite broken. But it wasn't just that. The Dark Knight honestly had gotten a little impatient, but not from Ajora's antics. Those were thoroughly entertaining. He was tired of waiting to attack the goody two shoes Earthlings. Chaos had f*cked up his first chance; taking over his body to enact his petty revenge without any sort of plan to win. Strength in numbers won the day, but round two would be different. Nick planned to make sure of that.

{Kyle : Hawaii : Mothership}
"Eh. It isn't too bad. There's quite a bit of bad, but there's a fair amount of good too. It all evens out pretty well." He replied to Zidane as he got the pat. An amused eyebrow was raised as he watched Anthony chase after Dawn. Soon followed by Demyx. Seemed like it was about that time.
With a grin, he patted Zidane on the back before starting to walk, turning backwards to look at him. "Adventure time awaits my friend! And trust me, you'll love the airship. It's pretty freakin awesome."

[Joe: Hawaii: Mothership]
The male blinked at Mathy. Perhaps his summon was temperamental? Not like Joe could really tell, but Mathy at least seemed to be ready to go. Joe had been born ready...well not really. But he was tired at staring at his plate, anyway.
"Sure." The male stood up and pushed his plate away. "Let's go."

[[Louis : Castle That Never Was : Where Nothing Gathers]]
The Devil's Vanguard stepped out of his portal at the same time as Nick, watching him leap across the room and sit next to Ajora. He said nothing to his antics, instead his mind drifted slightly to a small sentiment, "In a castle that never was... over a city that never sleeps nor wakes... gathers those who should never have been born."
"I see you have yet to get over that habit of yours," Mateus mused in the back of Louis' mind, obviously prodding Louis for a reaction.
Louis took a seat on the throne closest to where he'd emerged from the dark corridor. Rera, the large crystalline heartless, loomed behind Louis with only a quarter of its body covered up by the throne, "No, I haven't.. and it isn't a habit. It's an art."
"Your fascination of words is useless. You'd do better to pay more attention to those around you than putting them together with the surroundings in fanciful ways."
"Do not patronize me Mateus. You know as well as I, I am only passing the time before everyone is seated. My mind will be on the others when the time comes. Until then, allow me my sentimental moments." The Avatar of Corruption leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest, still staring at the others from behind his helmet's concealing mask.

[Anthony ~.~ Mothership ~.~ Halls of the Ship]
At some point, Anthony had managed to get back on his feet and hurried after the girl. He turned the corner just in time to see Dawn run and hide behind Kyle V. "Alright, you," he said, slowly walking up to Kyle and Dawn, quickly and politely waving at Sayrike to not be rude. "Give me back my shoe!" He attempted to juke the tessen-wielder by moving one way, then another before he rushed around the swallow-wielder, slightly shoving him to the side, and reached out to grab Dawn.

[ Kyle : Hawaii : Halls of the Ship ]
Before Sayrike could respond, Dawn ran up and behind him, asking that he 'hide' her. For a moment, Kyle was worried... before he noticed her holding a shoe. His eyes narrowed as he looked at her, clearly somewhat frustrated.
"Look, can this wait? Sayrike and I-" he began before Anthony walked up. Kyle rolled his eyes and was about to tell Anthony about the Dress Sphere's properties before Anthony jumped around, first one way, then another, pushing Kyle off to the side.
Already pretty tired and worn out from the day, not to mention the stress of the conversation that had been rudely interrupted, Kyle was just an itty bitty bit ticked off.
"EXCUSE ME," Kyle shouted, his nostrils flaring as his shoulders bowed up subconsciously, not caring all that much that Anthony could probably beat him with an arm tied behind his back. "I was TRYING to have a conversation. If it's so big a deal, why don't you just summon your damn shoe back to you?!"
.:My, someone's cranky tonight-:.
It's RUDE and INCONSIDERATE and-
.:All in good fun?:.
Kyle sighed before Anthony or Dawn even had a chance to react, rubbing the bridge of his nose. Shaking his head, he spoke to the group before walking off down the hall, the entrance just a few meters away. "Look, sorry, just... Sayrike, let's go, the others are probably waiting anyway."
.:Hmm...:.

[ Riku : Hawaii : Upper Halls of the Ship ]
Riku couldn't help but chuckle as Jenny found Noelle, standing near the corner to make sure they didn't forget which turn they needed to take. "Well, at least you weren't too far off the beaten path."
"Found Noelle, we'll be down in a few minutes."
"Alrighty! I'm off to make sure the people in the mess hall know we're leaving."
"Good call, Sora, we'll see you in a bit."
"Shall we be off?" Riku asked the three girls (Dani included) while jutting his thumb back toward the staircase. "Getting kind of late."
---
[ Sora ; Beatrix ; Yuffie ; Cloud : Mothership : Mess Hall ]
Sora burst into the Mess Hall with a grin, looking around at everyone still there. At the very least, there was Matthew, Joe, Beatrix, Yuffie, and Cloud.
"Hey, guys, the Red Rose is waiting outside for us!" he said, looking at the half-asleep Yuffie with a reassuring smile. "You can get some sleep on the way to Port Royal- you're comin' with us."
"What of the king?" Beatrix asked, immediately narrowing her eyes at Sora suspiciously. She had her goal, alongside Leon and Cloud- why were they suddenly changing?
"Weeell, we're not sure where he went yet, but the Council-lady sent some scouts who should be able to tell us some time tomorrow afternoon," he explained, scratching the back of his head. Yuffie and Cloud had already begun walking out of the Hall, heading toward the Rose. "So Leon and Riku decided to help us in the meantime!"
"I see," she replied, and said nothing more as she strolled out, leaving Sora scratching the back of his head.

[Elleon ~ Castle That Never Was ~ Where Nothing Gathers]
It took little more than a moment for Elleon to realize where they were. She smiled and quickly took up her own throne, the one closest to her, giggling a little. When she sat she put her back to one of the arm rests and draped her legs over the other one.
"You sure know how to pick a rendezvouses spot, Ajora." The Replica sighed contently, lacing her fingers behind her head and lounging. "A glass of champagne and I'd be set."
[Noelle ~ Hawaii ~ Upper Halls of the Ship]
Noelle's eyes lit up when Jenny and the others came around the corner. She slow-mo ran over to them dramatically, arms outstretched toward Jenny to embrace her like a long lost sister.
"You've foooooound meeeee!" She exclaimed, "My savior! I could kiss you--MUAH MUAH MUAH!"

Sayrike::Halls of the Ship Kyle voice some of the worries Sayrike had held for the past few days as well. How many others like them were out there? What if...what if someone she knew had survived, and they were in trouble right now? The tension fell between them as they both considered the possibilities. As soon as Sayrike opened her mouth to talk, the swallow-wielder resumed. Well, there it was--the choice. Should she stay, or not? Did she want to live with this degree of danger, chaos, and emotional drain, every day? Would she be content to go to Disney Castle, to help the refugees there? Dang it, he's right. I don't know if I could be safe alone anymore. Anonymity was the only thing going for me, but I think I've lost that by now. I'm not sure if I'd actually be chased after and targeted--I mean, I'm small fry--but can I take that chance?
Ugh. I suck at making decisions.Dawn and Anthony chose that moment to bring the conversation to a screeching halt. Sayrike couldn't help but chuckle at the playful antics of the two of them. However, Kyle didn't seem to be in the mood for this, and he snapped at the pair, suddenly chilling the atmosphere. The masked girl kind of bad for them--they were just having fun--but she could also understand Kyle's irritation. People dealt with stress in different ways, and Kyle seemed to have stress in spades. Before Sayrike rejoined him as he walked away, she gave a light, reassuring smile, trying to soften the blow of Kyle's anger. "You heard your father. You two play nice now, all right?" she said quietly to Anthony and Dawn, plucking the shoe from Dawn's grasp. "Besides, it's my turn. See you guys in a bit." She winked (and made sure the white eyespot on her mask mimicked the action) and then jogged away to catch up with Kyle, all the while suppressing her grin (and fully expecting Anthony to call back his shoe in a moment). What was life worth if not for moments like these? After that little exchange, she didn't know what to say to Kyle that might ease the tension, so she let the silence pass for a few moments, falling into step beside the swallow-wielder. "You know..." Sayrike began slowly, "we can't know if there are others out there. We can't save everyone. We're not omniscient. But...we can look out for the ones we're with, and we can be our best for them. That's what I have to keep telling myself. Can't think about the 'mights' and the 'maybes,' otherwise you'll just go crazy." It was true; how else was she supposed to not think about the endless possibilities of who else might be out there, who else might be saved? "I mean, if anything, we're supposed to be fighting for those moments of happiness, right? Of stealing shoes, of dining with friends, of singing on ships..." The look on the Councilwoman's face as she thanked them, the look of relief on the faces of the Hawaiians (however tinged with worry and fear they might be), watching the daily activities and struggles of the people in Port Royal...it was worth it. Right? As much as I would like to go back to observing from a distance, it seems like I've attracted a different experience in my life. And who am I to fight it? she thought to herself, giving up in mock resignedness. "So, you know, I'm willing to lend a hand, if you need it. You shouldn't be piling all of the responsibility onto yourself; you'll grow grey hairs and die an early death," she playfully scolded, waggling her finger at him. "And don't feel responsible for me; I'm a grown up--sometimes, haha--and I'll give you my help of my own free will. So if something happens, don't blame yourself, okay? And if you ever want another silly opinion on something, I'm your girl." Sayrike flashed another small smile to show that she didn't hold onto guilt or anger too easily, and Kyle was forgiven.

[Alice :: Castle That Never Was :: Where Nothing Gathers]
As Alice entered the large circular room, it took her a brief second to recognize where they were at as a large portion of Alice's memories resided in Jenny's childhood years, where the mage's darkness was so easily stirred up. The animator paused for a second as people began taking their seats and when she realized that they were all sitting in no particular order; she claimed a throne that was not only closest to her but also to Ajora's right.
Any other occasion and Alice might have smiled wryly at the uncanny arrangement but today, Alice's thoughts were solely on what was to be discussed and thus, she spared no voice in admiring the location nor the company.

[Jenny :: Hawaii :: Upper Halls of the Ship]
"I FOUND YOU~!!!" Jenny shouted after Noelle, a big grin spread across her features as she returned the gesture of running in slow motion and taking up the agromancer in a big hug. It seemed as if it had been a long while since the mage laughed, genuinely laughed; but there she couldn't help but feel the giggle bubble out of her throat in merriment.
There may have been rough situations; no doubt that there would be more further up their path to bringing back their home... but Jenny felt, at that moment in time, that if she were with the others then everything would turn out okay.
The flautist gently tugged herself away from the hug and turned to look at Riku, a faint blush painted itself on her cheeks as she flushed in mild embarrassment. "Right. We should get going before they end up leaving without us!"

[Zidane :: Hawaii :: Mothership]
"Say no more!" Zidane replied in pure excitement holding up his hand as if motioning Kyle to stop, "you got me at 'adventure'!" The genome smiled as he began to bound down the halls of the Mothership before skidding to a sudden stop. Then with a certain sheepish grin, he turned to look at his new friend before his hand reached up to scratch at his head. "I'll uh... I'll let you lead the way."
