[*~Youni~*]
"...."
[First district: Following Aerith>Hotel Cafe]
....Everything started with nothing.
and things moved with no sense ....
.... the presence of many buffering against it
.... imprinting what was missing.
Silently the girl walked along side her teacher, caretaker, whatver you call her, Aerith's hand holding her firmly was all she needed to know. It ment to follow, to not let go either. But it did not mean she could not look around as she followed. The First district was being repaired by her other mentor, Merlin- he had returned.
Good, Merlin fixed things, and would surely want to see her progress since his leave.
"Perhaps a bit to eat will do us all some good," "Besides, Youni and I haven't quite had a chance to eat, either- perhaps we could eat as a group, and then continue searching?"
Why must they eat together she wondered? Was it more efficiant? Did it make the food better?
When they sat down finally, Youni's hand s found the menu before her, and she opened it curiously.
Eating... now there was a interesting milestone.
Youni rarely ate out, infact this would be her first time at such a public place. Normally for safety sake- until she learned how to properly eat, Youni was fed personally by one of those around her.
And for good reason.
The first time she ate, was almost a week after she arrived! At first, everyone thought perhaps she didn't eat at all, but once her body adopted it's present appearance, she seemed to realized eating was important.
Important enough to try and copy.
Mimicing what she saw Cid do one night, Youni ate what she found in the fridge.... and ate... and ate...and she didn't stop until she was found and made to stop.
Again, it was her gaurdian Aerith who was the unlycky one to come upon a most grizzely sight as Youni ate so much she was throwing up what her body couldn't contain anymore! It became this horrible repetitive sight of the girl swallowing the same peice of food, only to expell it, and try to swallow again!
Aerith in her self control and saintly patience, showed Youni that she shouldn't eat more then her body needed. That she'd feel full physically as an indicator, a slight pressure inside. This was how they all descovered a most important thing about her... Youni didn't feel pain. She didn't feel discomfort, hot or cold.... like she was numb.
Youni didn't understand that she was hurting herself by eating too much- but she obey anything and everything Aerith and the others taught her.
And so they gave her measurements instead. Only one plate of food.
'Any more and you'd hurt yourself,' thats what Youni was taught.
But even with this instilled limit, Youni still didn't know when she was hungry.
She didn't feel it, so they had to tell her when it was time, least until she seemed capable of descerning it for herself.
Now it seemed another learning experiance was instore for her as she watched the strangely speaking man who took the orders from Faust and Colorai.
"What is Special?" she asked, " Can we eat Special?"
Wasn't special a word that described a thing? How where they going to eat a word?

[ ȤęҟνƴƦ ] {Don't fear the dark... fear what's in it.} [Castle Oblivion : Common Room] Zekvyr had his answer soon enough. The heterochomia broke off from the main group, and entered the shadows in the general area where Zekvyr was. The drow saw him as clearly as these surface dwellers see in broad daylight. Looking at this man's eyes already -they were rather noteworthy- he noticed how they tried to adjust to the darkness, pupils enlarging to allow more light in. "Lost your way?" Zekvyr ventured, amusement in his voice. He was testing the waters here. This mind reader by his very nature was dangerous. However, he might be very young and inexperienced. An amused voice showed he wasn't afraid, confident, even, that he could easily crush this creature. His thoughts, however... he would have to be careful not to think of this man as dangerous. That would be a sign of weakness on his part. Of course, just by thinking of not thinking of that, he thought that. He focused on thoughts of being better than this man, elitest thoughts, immediately after. It wasn't hard to do. After Zekvyr spoke, he silently moved to a different area in the shadows. He might be a mind reader, but he couldn't easily read his position.

[[Xogame]] <"Emotions are the true source of all evil."> [Traverse Town: First District] Xogame's shoes clicked against the cobblestones of Traverse Town's First District. His grey eyes scanned his surroundings, meager as they were. He could almost smell the chaotic haphazardness with which the tiny world had been cobbled together, much like the stones at his feet. Xogame ran a white handkerchief under his nose. "What a pathetic little world." Adjusting his gloves, he pulled a silver pocketwatch from his coat. He didn't know why he checked the time so often, beyond obsessive habit. Perhaps, having control over time itself, he felt a need to maintain a constant observance over it. Or maybe he just had a terrible memeory for time. Whatver the reason, Xogame checked the time thrice over before returning the watch to its pocket. Adjusting his gloves again, and then his jacket, he started across the courtyard. Perhaps he'd come here for a reason. Perhaps something interesting would happen.

[Traverse town :: Second District Cafe]
Turning to Orielle, Sou gave a shrug. "Not sure...what's the description say? Or would one of you like to inform us?" he said to her, and asked the rest of the group. "What exactly IS a Sub?"

[[Xogame]] <"Emotions are the true source of all evil."> [Traverse Town: First District->Traverse Town Second District] Xogame adjusted his tie for the half-dozenth time. He had slowly, carefully, and closley inspected every inch of the district he could easily access. More than one local had eyed him, but Xogame had no time for them. To many time was a problem, but not to Xogame. Time was his tool, his weapon. Surveying the area one last time, Xogame moved into the next district. He almost smiled as he stepped to a balcony overlooking a small fountain. The sound of water brought up pleasant memories. And then, just as they had come, they were gone. Xogame looked around again, and spotted the distant bell tower. From there it would be easy to see much of the world, he thought. And maybe he would be able to find something to interest him. He doubted it, this world seemed so very quiet, so very plain.

[Wyatt: Traverse Town: First District -> Second District]
Wyatt looked around the town from where he stood and noticed a group of people (Souzourou, Soryuju, Suzu, Orielle, Elde, Alex, and Kuumaru ) leave the first district and go to the second district. he also noticed that after the group left Merlin appeared in the district. He noticed that the old man was fixing up the district. Wyatt also, noticed another group of people (Youni, Aerith, Colorai, and Faust) enter the district from some alleyway and then watched them leave to go to the second district. However, he did not see what he was looking for.
Ok, I can see that a fight occured here, but I can't really tell if my former king was in the fight or see if he was here or not. I guess I will ask around and see if anyone saw him. So, who should I ask? I don't think the old wizard would know. He just got here. I don't think the green bird speaks my language and the guy that was on him seems to be asleep. There is someone else with the bird. He might have seen my former king, but he seems kinda protective of the bird. So, lets try someone else. How about the kids that went to the second district? I might as well see if they know something.
Wyatt turned around and started to head back to the second district. While he was turning around Wyatt noticed two poeple (Mina and Vain) enter the district from the third district door. He also, saw someone (Xogame) head to the second district too. He noticed that the guy stopped at the balcony.
Wyatt headed to the hotel to see if that is where the group of people he saw in the district head to.

{[Elde]}
"Why does fortune seem to strike the most kindhearted people? Is everything just pre-ordained?"
.:[Traverse Town: Second District Restaurant-> Alleyway]:.
Elde watched as Don Piere returned with large trays with everyone’s orders clanking around on them as he swiveled past tables. Elde didn’t understand how he was keeping them from falling off in his wild dash for their table. He watched Alex playing with the napkin boat and flicked his vision to the rest of the group with a contented smile as the crazy waiter placed the food in front of them. ((If you must post your order then do so, everyone who wants food can receive it when is most convenient xD)) This was certainly an interesting turn of events and Elde thought he might enjoy seeing where this encounter with this large group would lead.
When Don Piere had safely placed the food on the tables he stood up straight his arms folded behind him a sort of refined squint on his face “Enjoy zee food” his moustache wiggled as he said this. Elde reached down and picked up the rather elegant and tasty looking sandwich and took a bite, a smile coming to his face at the variety of flavors. Things seemed pretty good right now for the town having suffered a major attack recently. When the regal waiter moved though, Elde’s mood suddenly changed.
Without the waiter in the way Elde had a clear view of the bar with various stools in front of it which was across from the groups table. He had only looked casually but quickly did a double take when he saw a particular figure sipping a drink at the bar. Elde didn’t even look stressed at first, but then as he examined the man his eyes slowly widened and he thought he might choke on the bite of sandwich in his mouth. He slowly placed the triangle shaped piece of food down in front of him, his usual demeanor disappearing, to be replaced with a severely nervous look directed at a man with a deep brown trench coat and wide brimmed hat that hid his features in shadow.
Elde was sure someone would inquire about the look he had on his face so ever so slowly he rose out of his chair saying “Excuse me, I’m suddenly not feeling well…” in a very artificial tone of voice. He then began walking towards the bar.
Each one of his footsteps felt heavy, and the walk felt much longer than it was as thoughts raced through the white haired mans mind. ‘The clothes… could be anyone’s, its not him… is it?’ was what he thought as he finally came up behind the large man, Elde moved to sit next to him his vision circling the mans head in an attempt to make out the face under the hat. The only feature he did see was a stubble covered jaw and then a mouth that suddenly blazed white in a cocky smile. In that instant the brown wearing man flung an arm around Elde’s shoulders and stood quickly moving out of the establishment, laughing as he did so, appearing as if he was an old friend of Elde’s. He sort of was.

Solaris
Sorry......I'll be taking my leave now.
{Traverse Town : First District}
As Sol continued to pet Enyb's feathers, he watched what was going on in the area, holding his staff tightly. However, when he noticed the wizard appear and start fixing everything, he nearly dropped his staff. He had appeared from thin air, without any sign of it draining him. That was high level teleportation magic. And then he was so easily fixing everything. He knew of nobody on Crinosis who could do that, not even his parents. He stood watching for several more minutes, then letting go of Enyb's feathers, walked slowly over to the man (Merlin).
"Excuse me.... Who...who are you?" He asked, holding his staff tightly. He knew that if the man decided to attack him, he'd have no chance of winning. He was too powerful. "Um, I'm sorry for making one of the cracks in the ground. Please don't be mad!" He said, bowing his head in apology.

 [Second District : Hotel-Cafe]"The 'special' is what restaurants call something they're good at making, or something different from the normal menu," Aerith explained lightly to Youni, smiling lightly as she also ordered the same thing, and made sure to get Youni something the girl would appreciate- and then the waiter was off, getting the other table's massive order to them. That's when she spotted Soryuju, giving a light wave. He had quite the bunch today.

[ Ϩ Ѳ Ʀ ¥ Ʉ ϑ Ʉ ]
{Ignorance is bliss... until reality throws a Heartless siege at you.}
[Traverse Town : Second District Cafe]
Nomaa told the group her name, as did Souzourou (speaking for Orielle), Soryuju nodded his head, giving a light smile just as the young girl asked about what a 'sub' was.
"A sub is just a type of sandwich, made with longer bread-," he said, demonstrating with his hands. "It's really no different from a normal sandwich, perhaps just bigger due to the shape."
At that time, Don Piere brought those that HAD ordered their food, with his turkey-swiss being sub shaped- the usual, like he'd asked. "This is a sub," he explained with a chuckle, only to see someone waving at him-
Oh, Aerith!
Quickly waving back with a grin, Soryuju noticed the group she was with. An older male, Youni (he'd never actually spoken to Youni, only heard enough about her to know what she looked like), and a young girl who was... dressed like a cat.
Wait. Wasn't that blue guy looking for...?
And then Elde excused himself from the table, which shook Soryuju out of his focus. He watched the teen go over to the bar... and noticed nearby that the same blue guy was there, still looking... distraught.
... oh geez.
Figuring it out rather quickly, Soryuju also stood up. "I'll be right back," he muttered, keeping his eyes on Xifan as he walked over to the large creature, tapping him on the shoulder. "My friend Aerith seems to have found your girl- they're over at that table," he explained, pointing toward Aerith's table.[[Sort of GMed Nomaa since she said she might not be around.]]

With ease he seated himself in a far corner. Perhaps now he would find something or someone worth investigating. He was gettign tired of wandering around.

[Castle Oblvion :: Aria's Room]
Aria stumbled back at the sudden loss of her vision before letting out a low growl. How dare he... she knew she should have saved herself the trouble by ignoring the door. But how silly could Number IX be? Taking her vision was the least of her worries. Aria only smiled at Masenko, knowing exactly where he stood. She swallowed her air in careful measures as if controlling her emotions. The room seemed to respond to her own thoughts and the room briefly flickered for a moment before Masenko-Ma would oddly find himself outside in the hallway again, having been kicked out by the room itself.

NALΘ
Traverse Town ♦ District 1-> District 2 Cafe Nalo awoke from his extended nap and gently stretched out to the four corners of the district before lowering his head to stare at the mint green chocobo, still preening, and Solaris, who had now risen and was conversing with an old man in blue robes. Hmmmmm.....what now... Nalo's stomach growled and rumbled violently. It seemed his body made the choice for him. "Alright Enyb. I'm going to go get some food really quickly. I'll get you something to eat. You and I both know you need some food." Nalo hoped that Enyb would be all right here...From what's gone on here, the entire district had been annihilated, and now, it was being rebuilt. This was not a normal place. He comforted himself that most of the evils had left this place, and the Solaris was here. He understands. He seems nice. Nalo stood up tenderly, still rubbing his bruises and cuts and looked around the first district. It had almost completely vacated, but it didn't look much like any market district he'd seen. It looked more like housing. Maybe the second district will be more fruitful. He stepped through the large gates into the second district and wandered around gazing at the the plethora of buildings. A large two story cafe was just down the street. Inside was bustling. All of his new acquaintances were seated together, talking and having a good time, and still more were seated around and sitting at the bar. A waitress swept him away to a corner of the room and handed him a rather fancy menu. After gazing upon it he felt his complacent attitude fade a little. There weren't ANY meals full of vegetables. He flipped the menu over and his eyes lit up. "Fresh fruit. Yum!" As soon as the waitress came back for the menu, he ordered three bowls of freshly cut and washed fruit. He hastily handed over what meager amount of munny was left of his savings. He looked back at Soryuju and the others who had been fighting in the first district a short time ago. It looked like they had all but forgotten it.

 .:[Rufus]:. .:[Traverse Town: Third Floor Hotel Office-> Second District/Alley Cafe and Bar]:. The blonde haired man (with a tinge of orange) sat with his hands weaved in front of him, patiently waiting for the two turks he had an appointment with. He hoped Reno and Rude would arrive soon he had an important assignment for the both of them, it was no easy task to find a way to tap into the supposedly limitless powers that lie within a world. He shut his eyes in deep thought and rested his hands over his mouth. He craved that power, as his father did. It had taken a little under four years to re-accumulate the full resources of the Shinra Corporation after the destruction of it during the fall. While he wasn’t glad that it had taken this much time, he was happy that his father was now out of the way so he could bring his plan to fruition. He smirked. He felt no remorse at acknowledging the sin of greed that seemed to run in his family. To expand the Shinra Corporation, a goal beyond worthy in his eyes. That didn’t mean he was going to follow perfectly in his fathers footsteps however. Partly due to limited resources, but also because he liked the idea of setting himself apart from a man he truly could care less about now. The orange haired man placed his hands down flat on the brown desk and gracefully rose from his comfortable chair, his expensive white clothes flowing like air around him as he moved. He turned away from the desk and towards the window that had been behind moving to stand directly in front of it. His smooth features were now bathed in the warm glow of Traverse Town’s second district, rather than the simple darkness of his office. He looked out over this place that was now his new base of operations. Yes, he thought it was definitely time for the company to go in a new direction. He only knew of two Turks who had survived the fall, the others could be out there, but right now they might as well be dead. Rufus smirked as he folded his arms behind his back and surveyed the district. He decided he was going to need some outside help for this endeavor, an endeavor which would soon expand his company past its current boundaries. After all Reno and Rude were good, really good, at their job but they were only two now, things could be difficult. Of course, whoever he got to help him would hopefully never be exposed to the full breadth of his plan… they might not be so helpful if they knew it all. With that he slowly and gracefully turned away from the window. He walked past the clean brown desk across the warm shade of red carpet on the floor. He took a quick glance at the bookshelf to his right, loaded with important books and files, some from scientists on Hollow Bastion. A look to his left revealed a potted plant in the corner and several chairs for guests, as well as various miniature models of various Shinra structures and products in glass boxes and illuminated from beneath. He reached his door which was made out of a similar wood as his desk and turned the gold handle, it made a satisfying click as he closed it behind him. He was in a brighter lit hallway now also with red carpet and various rooms along the hall, reserved by him for business guests. This was a hotel after all. He gracefully trod to the left end of the hall and smoothly pushed the elevator’s button which lit up as he did so. While he was inside the metal shell he watched the numbers decrease while he thought. He had gotten bored waiting for his two associates and decided to check up on one of his many sources of income: the café’ and bar in the basement of this hotel. Maybe he would find what he was looking for. The elevator stopped with a ‘ding!’ and he exited through the sliding metal doors and out into the establishment. He saw that the area was rather busy. Straight ahead of him was the open glass doors that revealed the candle-lit tables in the alley, to his right was the bar with a myriad of glasses and bottles behind the counter which had stools placed in front of it, there were a few interesting characters over in this area, such as a large cat like man. Hm, notable. To his left seemed to be where most people were sitting, at a variety of tables more towards the center of the room rather than the booths to the far left. They seemed to be a rag tag bunch, many of them clearly not very familiar with the town, he smirked and even chuckled a little at their profound philosophical questions like ‘what IS a sub?’ he held his arms behind himself as he made his way towards the large group to gain some customer input. Done Piere moved directly by Rufus before realizing his mistake and returning to stand beside his employer. “Sir!” the waiter announced, standing erect in a stiff over dramatic salute. “Ha ha, It’s alright Don” he gently placed some munny in the waiters pocket, patting it gingerly before continuing “No need to be so formal, how’s business?” the waiter relaxed slightly taking his usual snoody posture, but not nearly as stuck up as he would appear to customers. “Very good sir, but zat is to be expected with ze destruction of our rival restaurantuh” Don said with a slight smirk. “Ah yes I heard” the destruction of the eatery in the first district was an interesting bit of news that admittedly intrigued Rufus, usually the only assailants in this town were the heartless, but the restaurant getting destroyed was a bit of luck. “That’s the way of things I suppose, but you seem to be in a hurry so I’ll let you get back to work, don’t mind me” Don bowed slightly “If you need anysing do not be afffraid to call!” with that he strolled off towards the kitchen to continue delivering food. Rufus closed his eyes and shook his head with a little smile on his, what a character, but if it made people enjoy their restaurant experience, and he wasn’t so bad. He proceeded towards the table full of travelers. He stepped right up to the table in between conversation subjects his vast charisma exuding as he spoke “Everyone enjoying themselves this evening?” he would amuse himself here until Reno and Rufus decided to find him, they could always contact him on his phone anyway. ((OH GOD SORRY THIS IS SO LONG... I figured I could flesh out the area more and stuff xP))

{[Elde]}
"Why does fortune seem to strike the most kindhearted people? Is everything just pre-ordained?"
.:[Traverse Town: Alley]:.
“Jack” Elde said firmly when they reached a secluded area of the alley outside, running water could be heard in a man-made stream close by. Elde roughly pushed the mans arm from off of him, adjusting his large collar as he did so. “What’s the big idea?” the white haired man said with a slight bit of venom in his voice. The darkly dressed man spun on one heal to face him after he had stepped a little ways away, a smile still on his face, hands casually in his pockets.
“What? Your not happy to see me? I was a big help to you four years ago wasn’t I?” he said in a deep, elegant, but mostly cocky voice. Elde snapped back quickly “That’s just it, it’s been four whole years!” Elde noted how he was acting and changed his posture slightly, placing a finger on each temple and gently rubbing for a moment before returning to the conversation with a calmer attitude. All this time, even while he had been sitting at the bar Jack had been writing in a leather bound book with that exact same ornate calligraphy pen, he was always doing that for some reason. Elde paid it no mind currently “There are a lot of things I have to ask you now that I’m older, I mean you don’t seem like just some random old dude who helps out kids on the street, So tell me… why help me and then take a hiatus for four years?”
Jack let out a small sigh and spoke in a slightly agitated voice “Still interested in wasting time I see.”
Elde’s lip curled in irritation “Only now that you’re here, I’d say the rest of my time over these four years has been well spent… thank you very much” Elde didn’t really say it smugly just sort of smoothly as he became more relaxed. There was something about this guy, Elde was almost certain he knew about his vision and memory loss so that got him excited, but he was also relieved to see someone from one of his earliest memories.
“Why help you? Hmm… your right, seems kind of strange that anyone would help a bugger like you” Jack said with a slight chuckle, Elde rolling his eyes “As for my ‘four year hiatus’ as you call it, maybe you should pay more attention… I’ve been watching you all along”
“Creeper…” Elde exclaimed quietly “Yeah a lil bit, but your just going to have to puzzle over that, because it’s not why I’m here” Jack actually stopped writing for a moment when a small beeping sound was heard from his pocket. He withdrew a small electronic device from his pocket that resembled a cell phone, except the way it lit up his jaw seemed to denote some other object. He appeared to gaze at it from under his large hat, and after a moment took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as if he was calming himself. Elde raised an eyebrow as he sheathed the device once again.
“The reason I’m here is to give you-“
“Another cryptic message?” Elde interjected pretty much seeing how these conversations were going to go
“Wow kid your pretty sharp” “Gee thanks” Elde responded blowing a stray white hair from his vision. “Before you tell me that just promise that our next info session can occur sooner”
“Sure thing kid now, what I want you to know is…” Jack seemed to step closer to speak his important tid bit. ”If your ever looking for answers you won’t find them here, they’re out there” when he said this he jerked his head slightly, motioning towards the sky “You may not find the answers your looking for while being overshadowed either and you may have to take the spotlight, or do things that might seem off putting to others, but trust me if you perhaps suddenly become more inquisitive than you are, answers about your heart won’t be found here…” he then slowly stepped back. Elde held his arms out as he exclaimed his confusion “My heart? What did that ever have to do with anything?- GAH”
Suddenly Elde felt a searing pain in his chest and head, a pain so strong that it brought him to his knees... it was a familiar kind of pain.
