{Auron : Mothership : Mess Hall -> en route to Red Rose}
Auron had simply been relaxing in the mess hall. His focus not at all on the Earthlings as they split off to do whatever they wanted. It was obvious they were all tired, in need of rest. Some of them definitely more than others. He sat in quiet meditation in the mess hall as it slowly cleared out for various reasons until Sora returned. At the announcement that they were heading to the Red Rose.
"So, it's time to head back to the other ship is it?" he asked no one in particular as he rose to his feet.
His massive katana was then slung back onto his shoulder. He then quickly began to make his way toward the exit of the Mothership without another word. There time on this island was over, now they needed to return before morning to prepare for their next battle.

[Noelle ~ Mothership ~ Upper Halls]
When Jenny turned to look at Riku, Noelle did the same but still remained close to the flutist. She was having fun and wasn't going to just stop so easily. The agromancer made a face at Riku that said 'You're just jealous of our love,' but the expression quickly fell when Jenny suggested they get a move on. Noelle clung to Jenny in mock despair, making the two of them nearly unstable enough to fall over.
"No Jenny!" She exclaimed fretfully, "Don't listen to what he says, he's trying to steal you away from me! He just wants you all to himself, but I won't have it! His words are false! It's all a plooooooooooooooy--yeah, let's get going, I'm sure everyone's getting impatient."
Just as soon as Noelle had begun her melodramatic, desperate fit she had regained her composure like it had never happened. "Shall we?"

[Matthew :-: Mothership :-: Mess Hall -> Outside]
"Alright then," Matt said, then got up a grunt. He extended a hand to Joe to help his friend up, when Sora had rushed into the room and announced that they were going to leave. "Well, I guess it's a definite now," he said with a chuckle.
Matt wondered what the Red Rose looked like. He was fairly certain it was from Final Fantasy 9, but he had never gotten very far in that game. 'Ah well, what are the odds that I'll miss a giant airship landed outside?' he thought.

[Jenny :: Hawaii :: Upper Halls of the Ship]
As soon as Jenny realized that Noelle was clinging to her, the mage quickly became flustered; her face painted a shade of pink. And when the Agromancer began her exclamations, Jenny only became more perplexed; quickly looking between the keyblader and her friend all the while stumbling over her words.
"I... I... I'm sorry Noelley!" Jenny professed, her tone matching Noelle's in equal anguish. She swiftly turned back around and embraced the agromancer, "You know I could never leave youuu-!" Then the musician blinked a couple of times; dropping the charade as quickly as Noelle dropped hers; albeit not as gracefully. She straightened out her hair before offering up an apologetic smile. "Right, Red Rose... let's go!"
.:I can't believe... I'm stuck with this idiot for the entire ride.:.

[Anthony ~.~ Mothership ~.~ Halls of the Ship]
Like a child being scolded by his parent, Anthony lowered his gaze to the floor as Kyle expressed his annoyance. He hated being yelled at. It didn't matter by who. Sure he was older than Kyle and with his new abilities he could punch the swallow-weilder through a wall, but the idea of him disappointing someone else gripped at his chest and filled him with guilt, even if it was an innocent mistake. Though he should've known better. This is serious business after all.
Sayrike's playful words slightly cheered the young man up, though when she took the shoe, he couldn't help but smile. He decided to do what Kyle had instructed him to do, which is to "summon" his shoe back to him. Immediately, with a bright glow, his shoe had returned to its rightful place around his foot. The knight turned to Dawn, victory expressed through his features. "HA!" he exclaimed, suddenly feeling silly again as if the whole thing with Kyle scolding him hadn't happened. "What now, sucka? You can't take my shoes, or any of my other articles of clothing, 'cause I could just summon 'em back!"
Anthony, deciding to punish the girl for taking his shoe, wrapped his arm around her neck and pulled her in close to his chest, then began to initiate a noogie, grinding his knuckles on top of the tessen-wielder's head. "This is for taking my shoe, you muncher!"

{Bobbi (and Michelle) .:. Hawaii .:. Red Rose}
The airship was very, very easy to spot once she got outside of the alien mothership. It was this massive wooden thing, you'd have to be blind and crippled to miss it. Someone had been considerate enough to let down a ramp and leave the hatch-door-thing open, so Bobbi led Michelle right on in, and began looking for somewhere to go flat for a bit.
I miss the train, she found herself thinking with a twinge of nostalgia. It hadn't even been a day since she was last on the train, sitting in the dining car drinking tea with Kyla, scratching and petting her chocobo Xabier in the stables, hanging around and chatting in the lounge... She stopped dead in her tracks as a realization hit her.
I'm homesick for a magical Disney train?!
~:What about your real home?:~ Shiva asked, which started Bobbi walking again. The Archer thought for a bit, analyzing her emotions. Walking had always helped her think. She did miss her home, her family, the friends who hadn't made it. She missed Omaha, the familiarity of the Old Market and downtown, the parks, the theaters, the shopping malls.
Of course I miss home, she said to Shiva after awhile. But... it's different than how I miss the train. Back home, I was pretty much useless. All I did was work whatever jobs I could get my hands on, the only impact I made in the world was whether or not I saved my plastic grocery bags. Here, I feel... needed. I know I'm making a difference, and the best thing is, I'm making a difference just by being myself, not pretending to be something I'm not. For all that my home was all about freedom, I feel more free now than I ever did. Free to make a difference, you know? I was one of billions of people, nothing I did would have ever made a difference. But now? Dammit, I'm helping save the world! It's awesome, and win, and liberating! Back home the only things I really had to be proud of were my family, friends, and the fact that I was able to live alone and take care of myself. And some silly medals for my art back in high school. Now, I have that and so much more!
Bobbi could feel Shiva digesting her words, and decided to shut up long enough for Shiva to translate the flood of information into something coherent. It also gave her a perfect chance to find somewhere to let Michelle lay down. Which, now that she was paying attention instead of thinking, was relatively easy to do. She managed to get Michelle settled into a nice comfy bed, tucked in, and it took all of half of a second for Michelle to fall back into dreaming. After her friend was taken care of, the Archer felt a severe need for cleanliness. A shower would be nice, a bath would be better. She was starting to hurt from the fighting earlier, despite the healing.
She caught herself wondering how much weight she had lost as she went to find somewhere to clean herself up.

{Demyx .:. Hawaii .:. Mothership .:. Halls >> Red Rose}
It was fascinating to watch the Earth kids interact with each other. The emotions were so open, so volatile, that it gave Demyx a perfect chance to study them. That was what anger looked like, and shame, and mischievousness, and...
What was Anthony doing to Dawn?
"You kids are weird" the Melodious Nocturne announced as he walked past. He reached out to ruffle Anthony's hair, ignoring the fact that Anthony was taller than him. "I'm going to follow everyone else, you two coming or you gonna keep flirting?" Demyx grinned playfully, wondering if they'd take him seriously or not. He was sure Anthony would wind up being flustered, and Dawn would just laugh and more than likely play along.
Heeey, I wonder where Lexaeus and Axel are? he thought, staring around at the people filing out.

[ Ajora ; James ; Replica Procession : Castle That Never Was : Where Nothing Gathers ]
"Only the six of us, I'm sad to say," Ajora responded to Nicholas, frowning slightly- as if he were truly sad to say it. Or maybe a bit disappointed?
Before he continued on with an explanation, Alice caught his eye as she came and took a seat to his right- and the look of disappointment immediately faded away, replaced by a wistful smile. However, Elleon's remark broke him of his reverie, causing him to laugh. "Ah, yes, a good glass of champagne would be delightful right now... or a bit of vodka and tea."
"Going back to Nicholas' question, however, I've only brought along those I either trust or those I trust to value survival over petty differences of opinion," he explained, crossing his arms over his chest with a slight sigh. "A few of the others would sooner die than second guess their methods, and others still would rather betray an ally if it meant achieving a personal goal sooner rather than a little later. And of course, the neophytes are just newborns, so I've yet to gauge their actual worth..."
He mused for a second, an odd look in his eye as he stared at the veiled table before shrugging, looking back around.
"I've invited you all here because I would like to form an... well, I suppose an 'official' alliance," he said, tilting his head to the side somewhat, trying to think over the best way to word his thoughts. "With recent events, I've come to see things on a larger scale than before. This new understanding has made me value the aid of you all to a new degree."
"I thought it best to meet here for obvious reasons. Round table, chairs of equal height and ornamentation-- you five, I see as equals in determination and drive," he said, glancing now at his 'allies'. "We may not share goals, but we share the drive to see them through, and they are not so contradictory as to forbid collaboration. And I fear that if we do not work together to at least some degree, we will be wrought to nothing by the Fiends and their masters."

[Az: Castle That Never Was: Where Nothing Gathers]
The male let out a chuckle, deep and throaty. This was all just way too grand for his tastes. It was time to make the place at least a little less stuffy and a little more...comfortable.
Azrael found his seat and lounged back in it(Larxene's old seat, as directly across from Ajora as he could get), his boots propped up on the table and his cig in his mouth, another on standby in his ear. His foot bounced to no particular beat, and his fingers played with his lighter, the plastic and metal turning and moving in his hand.
"We get it. Blah blah blah 'trust you as far as I can throw you but let's work together'. Pretty much all got that, hence why we're here. Wanna get to the point, my dear, so we can do something more productive than dance with our words?" He looked to the others, before shrugging. "Unless, of course, everyone else would like to d**k around. Then I'll just nod off till we get to something meant for me."

[[Louis : Castle That Never Was : Where Nothing Gathers]]
In comparison to Ajora, Louis sat 3 seats to his left, Saïx's old seat if he recalled correctly. He sat quietly, listening as Ajora began. An alliance, that sounded strange to Louis. Could creatures with hearts of pure darkness hold any true alliance? The arcanist found the logic flawed. Normally an alliance began with a common goal... instead, they all had different goals and only darkness to unite them. Drive alone uniting those of different intentions? Is this a case where means justifies an end?
Louis dismissed the thought for the rest of the address, which was followed up by someone who had long since found his way onto Louis' nerves. Joe's replica, Louis barely managed to cooperate with Joe himself; his replica was proving to be even less compatible with Louis as every second he spoke dragged on. Still, Louis remained quiet, only to let out a elongated breath, too quiet to overhear.
"Insolent wretch... he would be dead where he sits if the choice were mine."
"Then let's be glad it's not. Annoying as he is, we've yet to see his worth, and why Ajora would tolerate him being here."
Looking back to Ajora, Louis waited for him to continue, hoping he would ignore the wind user's replica and move on.

[Dawn : Mothership : Hallways]
Dawn had been having fun with avoiding Anthony. Up until Kyle snapped at them both. She simply remained silent as she looked down. Shrinking back into a state of negitive emotions of shyness, regret and uncertainty.
"I'm sorry," she mumbled to both of them even as Sayrike took the shoe away and tried to lighten the mood.
Dawn remained where she was, looking sadly to the side not saying anything- until Anthony grabbed her and started giving her a noogie. Causing he whine and flail trying to get free. Demyx's comment only made her flail more, and her face turn red.
"Hey let me go!" she whined as she tried to free herself, "Wha ahhh!"

{Kyle : Hawaii : Mothership -> Outside Red Rose}
Head cocked at an angle, Kyle watched with amusement at Zidane's obvious, somewhat infectious, energy. He suppressed a laugh when the man turned back and went after him. "Then let's go!" He said as he started jogging off, passing Dawn, Anthony and Demyx on the way out.
Soon enough they were outside and staring up at the airship. He was quite glad that it was fixed. He really liked the ship. "Now how's that for an airship?" He asked his newfound friend, grinning all the while.

[ Kyle : Hawaii : Halls of the Ship -> Outside the Red Rose ]As Sayrike spoke about reasons to fight, Kyle's fingers seemed to rapidly move about, as if eager to grab something, but only for a moment or two- unnoticeable to anyone looking up toward his face.
Why I fight...
An image of black wisps and tendrils flashed through his mind.
However, she moved on, offering her aid-- which he found to be a relief (they could use all the help they could get)-- and even so much as offering to be a shoulder to lean on. He had to restrain from scoffing under his breath at the latter part-- not because it was her, but because it was him.
"Thank you," he said, nodding as they neared the exit of the Hawaiian ship, being bypassed by a few others. "While we're on the subject of asking for help, there is something else I wanted to talk about..."
He hesitated, remembering his time on the Dutchman, their escape to the Pearl, and the battle that just took place on Hawaiian soil.
"It's Louis. He's... I think there's something affecting him, likely without his knowledge," Kyle explained, going past the sliding doors as they opened up and once more stepping into the Hawaiian forest clearing. He glanced up at the large airship-- the Red Rose, what the other group had been traveling on. "We all remember watching his display with Jacob while on the Dutchman... but after we got back onto the Pearl, something strange happened."
Kyle paused in the clearing, preferring the wide open space to the corridors of either ship. It's not that he was claustrophobic; rather, he far preferred to see as much around him as possible, both knowing that he was free to move in any direction as well as knowing who and want was near him at all times. He noticed Kyle M and Zidane in the clearing, as well, but they were a bit closer to the ship, still out of earshot.
"Once we got out of the Negator's range, he went unconscious. After waking him up, he... he didn't remember anything that had happened," he explained, turning now to look to Sayrike with narrowed eyes, though they weren't directed at her. They were simply furrowed in deep thought and analysis. His voice was only loud enough for her to hear, and if anyone attempted to near them, he would have lowered it to a whisper or shut up all-together. This was not a conversation for others, hence why he turned to face her- so he could see anyone exit either ship out of his peripherals. "His last memory was of the moment right before the Negator showed up."
He paused for a moment to let that fact sink in. Sayrike had, so far, shown a knack for intelligence, so he hoped she'd catch on to the implications.
"And then, that scene during the battle... the dark armor, the red eyes, the sudden ruthlessness," he continued. "Something's happening with Louis, and I'm afraid my trust in his dark abilities is beginning to waver. Do you know anything that might help me understand what's going on with him?"

[ Riku : Hawaii : Upper Halls of the Ship ]
Riku raised an eyebrow at the two women, his jaw going just slightly slack at the scene that unfolded. When the two of them finally decided to get going, he caught his jaw and began to scratch the back of his head as he turned to walk back down the stairs with Dani.
"Right, well," he said, clearly not sure what to say. "The two of you can share a room in the Rose if it's that big of a deal, you know."
---
[ Sora ; Beatrix ; Yuffie ; Cloud ; Seymour ; Riku: Hawaii : Outside the Red Rose -> Red Rose ]
"Wooooow, now that's an airship!" Sora said as he walked out of the Red Rose just behind the others, his jaw dropping as he looked up at the Red Rose. Cloud and Beatrix didn't seem to hear him and continued toward the ship, going up the entrance ramp without hesitation.
"Yeah, it's pretty cool, I guess," Yuffie said, walking backwards and looking at Sora with a nonchalant grin, as if she wasn't so impressed. "You comin' or what, squirt?"
"He likes to over-react, give him a bit," Riku said; he'd led Dani, Noelle, and Jenny downstairs and assumed they'd follow him out of the ship, as well. He threw a smirk Sora's way as he stopped next to the fellow Keyblade Master- one Sora would immediately understand. "Come on, Sora, let's get going."
"Alright, last one there gets the others ice cream!" Sora said, grinning as he and Riku both bolted without hesitation--
Leaving Yuffie in the dust.
"Hey, no fair!" she shouted, dashing after them with her heightened speed. "I wasn't ready!"

[Nick :: Castle That Never Was :: Where Nothing Gathers]
Well, someone's clearly competing with Elleon to win the 'Biggest b***h among the Replicas.'
The Dark Knight snickered to himself, tapping his fingers in a simple beat against the arm of his throne, pondering upon who had sat there. He began counting in his head what he remembered of the thirteen members and where they sat before reaching the conclusion that he sat in in the seat of the Whirlwind Lancer, Xaldin.
Fitting that you sit in the wind user's seat, isn't it, boy? A low voice hissed inside of his head, Nick continuing to stare blankly at Ajora.
Almost as fitting as an out of control loudmouth to be my summon. Nick replied curtly, before exhaling and looking at the others among them before returning his gaze to Ajora. "Well, Ajora, you know that I'm working with you from here on, so...Yeah."
