[Joe: Hanger]
Joe let out a sigh as the ramp opened up into a room with giant doors. Yay, more reveals! Only not so much but he felt like he could deal. Probably deal with a little someone playing with his cape, too.
"Hey, Mathy? Why are you playing with a potential choking hazard?" He let out a sigh as he looked over his shoulder. "Everything okay?" He seemed kinda out of it...which made Joe worry a little. Worry enough that he completely missed the new person that he should have spotted...but that could have been the tension of attention possibly being drawn to the group with him as leader. Ugh...oh well, he'll do good. Or try to, anyway.

[ Kyle, Sora, Riku : Disney : Hangar ]
"Hey Zell and Red!" Sora shouted with a grin, waving to the two as he jogged down from the ramp ahead of the rest.
As Kyle stepped off, still humming to himself, he glanced at the trip waiting for them. He'd felt pretty bad for Nanaki and Zell, having been cooped up waiting for them for so long, but Port Royal and Atlantica wasn't really the world for them. The other fellow, though, he didn't recognize. He'd asked about introductions--meaning he'd expected some--and as he walked up, he realized Zell was introducing the lot of them--was he an Earthling? His clothing could have been from Earth, but it was fencing gear, so maybe not.
"Yeah, I'm Kyle," he explained, walking up with the group as Sora hugged Zell, lifting him off the ground. He held out a hand to the taller male (mentally grumbling about being shorter than someone else again), offering a handshake. "Yourself?"

[ Joe : Hanger ]
Joe immediately flinched at the sudden slap on the back. It wasn't like it hurt much, it was the principle of the thing. Zell messed with his bubble. No one messes with his bubble unless he allows it.
'This is exactly why I didn't like you in VIII.' he thought taking a deep breath. There was no way he was going to remember any of that.
"...Thanks Zell." he said in as deadpan a voice as he could manage. "I feel like we're all best friends already."
With that he turned his attention to the curly haired man in armor who was apparently named Kyle, taking his hand in the shake.
"My name's Joe. I take it you all are the Earthlings I was told about?"

[Matt :-: Red Rose :-: Exit Ramp]
Matt jumped at Joe trying to get his attention, unintionally tugging on the cape in the process. He let go of the cape and instead clasped his hands together. "Who, me? Totally fine. Nothing going on at all!" he said, rattling off the words faster than he usually spoke. He straightened up to try and prove his "point," causing his vertebrae to pop as if he'd been hunched over for a very long time. "Absolutely cool."
"Smooth."

[Kyla: Disney Hangar: by closed Doors.]
To her relief, no one other than Kyle ever acknowledged her presence. She didn't have to talk to anyone at the moment and just float on with the flow. Walking in step behind Kyle she felt Matt at her back and stuck her nose into her book.
Whistle making herself as quiet and unnoticeable as possible Kyla too the reprieve to regarded the new location. Her hand began to glide back and forth noting the shape and vastness of the Hangar port- the trains docking and of course- the new face. Another Joe?
This would be interesting when it time to fight, how would you call out the names? Joe 1 and Joe 2?
Maybe they could adopt a nickname system like Axel had. Joe Fearless and Joe Newbie?
Kyla’s eyes flickering to all who has gathered thus far. Bobbi, the main Canon cast, Kyle, Joe, Matt, James who was looking... different- new clothes? Upgrade possibly? [ note taken] Dawn was there conversing with Noelle who looked as tired as she felt- it wasn't the body, it was the eyes. Even with all the energy provided by the corner stone you couldn't force rejuvenation into the heart and soul if they were sick, and Kyla couldn't’ look at her beyond that skipping back to other people
.
Dani caught up, bringing up the rear- darnit, why didn’t Kyla think to do that? As they walked down the ramp introduction were had, people met and made up and she teetered to one side and broke off a bit looking around the location more closely. Approaching the large doors she reached out a hand to touch the hard surface like checking if it was tangible. Sometimes it was the only way to let the change of location sink in- just touch it- make sure it was real.
“…hmmm…” Whats up? Why were they shut in like this?
turnign to look at the clustered group again she would give a smile if the "new" Joe looked her way with an approving smile before looking back to her book and jotting down more details about his appearance.
He was an impressive height with a structured build, something that pronounced power. His blonde hair was in the red toned spectrum. Eyes.. errr... not close enough to tell, especially with those glasses in the way. His outfit looked like something useful for movement and versatile combat. Melee?
She dated and signed the entry for him before listening on for further details.

[ Kyle, Sora, Riku : Disney : Hangar ]
"Ah, another Joe, that'll be fun in a fight," Kyle said with a chuckle under his breath as they shook hands. Afterward, he reached into his cloak and pulled out a closed medium sized leather bag, big enough that it could hold a few apples or oranges. He held it to his side for the moment "Yeah, that would be us. I take it you're another one here to help?"
"Heya, I'm Sora!" the teen said with a grin, attempting to introduce himself to Joe after putting Zell down, only for Riku to put a hand on his shoulder.
"Pretty sure he knows us," Riku said. It wasn't out of arrogance. It sounded more like a simple statement of fact; all the other Earthlings had been familiar with them, he doubted this guy would break the trend.

[ Joe : Disney : Hanger]
"You know, I keep hearing about this other Joe, you'll have to introduce me so we can work out a system. Anyway, if I can I'd like to help in..." He paused for a moment "...Whatever it is you're all doing. I genuinely have no idea what the hell is going on, so you'll have to fill me in on the specifics."
Joe turned his head to the two Keybladers. It was both weird, and he had to admit it, really cool to be standing in speaking distance of two of the heroes from one of his favorite video games. They were shorter than he thought though. Now that he thought about it, pretty much everyone was was shorter than him except that dark haired guy in the hoodie.
Well, he could preen over his luck in the genetic lottery some other time, now it was time for small talk
"He's right, I'm familiar with both of you. You're both kind of famous in certain circles on Earth."

{James : Red Rose : Exit Ramp --> Hangar}
James nodded his head in silent agreement to Sora's statement and Riku's response. He couldn't really think of any other reasons why the Cornerstone would have gotten so much more powerful since he was last there.That had still only been a few days ago, though with all that the lot of them had been through, it felt like ages. With as often as their days ran together though, it didn't surprise the corsair one bit that he was losing track of time. He fell silent and listened to the few conversations that were still going on until the hatch opened and revealed to them the large hangar the Red Rose had landed in. He looked out and saw the train had apparently returned to this hanger as well. He smiled lightly at Zell and Nanaki and immediately became curious as to the presence of another, apparently Earthling.
The corsair had noted, but had made no real reaction to the fact that his attire had changed. It was still similar to what he had worn before but the coat had become more of a vest, a bit more practical than the long sailing like coat he used to wear. His tricorne still remained on top of his head, helping to hold back his long hair which he was determined to get trimmed in the near future.
'Surely he isn't the only reason we've been called back here,' The corsair thought as he made his way down the ramp towards the familiar canons and the new guy.
The young man, dressed sort of as a fencer was notably a few inches taller than the corsair, not that that bothered him any. He smiled at the young man and held out his hand in greeting. He was named Joe apparently, and his thoughts regarding the complications that might cause in combat were shared by a few of the other earthlings as well.
"I'm James, and don't worry we'll be sure to bring you up to speed when we have the time," he stated.

[ Kyle, Sora, Riku : Disney : Hangar ]
"That confusion will probably stick around for a bit," Kyle responded with a laugh. "We're all still figuring it out, to be honest. Some of us were gathering knowledgeable entities, others were trying to track down King Mickey, whose gone missing..."
"Both ended up in dead ends this morning, though," Riku chimed in with a shrug, having previously nodded when Joe acknowledged him. "So we're hoping Merlin brought us here to give us a new lead or something."
"On another note," Kyle spoke up, lifting the leather bag and opening it for Joe. He couldn't actually see into it, and when he put his hand into it, it would feel much, much bigger than it looked. "These are the dress spheres Merlin made for us. Magical clothing that helps suit whatever world we happen to enter. They also come with these charm bracelets--" he motioned toward the one on his left wrist which easily had a dozen or more individual charms. "--that, long story short, act like telepathic walkie-talkies to the rest of us. And, if the trend is to be believed, the sphere should also help awaken your summon, since up until this point, every Earthling has had a summon of some sort."
"That was, admittedly, a lot of information," he said, laughing a bit sheepishly. "Just grab the one that meets your hand, pull it out, and focus on it. Should activate easily enough."
He didn't say what happened when the dress spheres activated--how they usually gave off a fairly small dose of the element of the summon within, such as his own sudden flash of light. He didn't hold it back maliciously; it was just useless information for the moment that he'd explain afterward. He'd overloaded him with enough as it was.

[Joe: Disney: Hangar]
The monk raised an eyebrow as his cape detached without any pull on his neck,...well both of his eyebrows cause he was never really that good at quirking just one, even though he liked to believe he could.
"Uh huh. Sure. Now do you want to tell me what's really going on? Or make me drag it out of you? I'd rather the first." He cracked his knuckles, popping them loudly. "But can do that latter in some form or fashion." He grinned at Mathy, the cape having just fluttered to the floor reappearing on Joe's shoulders like it had never left.

[Matt :-: Red Rose :-: Exit Ramp]
Matt returned Joe's curious look with one of his own. "Joe you already had me fight you to try and make a point, and last I checked I came out on top then and have since gotten like 20 different skills from our group." Matt shifted his weight to one side, trying to look more casual. "If you're really curious though, my night was spent listening to the screams of an eldritch hell beast on repeat as I had a staring contest with another being inside Ajora's aura." As Matt explained what was wrong, his voice cracked ever so slightly and his hands clenched eachother they started shaking.
"But you know, nothing big, I'll be fine."

[Elleon ~ Paris ~ Beauvais Manor: Study]
Elleon shrugged as if to say 'it's your funeral.' She took down a note to keep her thoughts organized. For the time being she was mostly unaware of Ashley's presence, though she did faintly notice the addition of another dark presence. She wasn't concerned about it--if there was a rat she'd fish it out later.
"Delia knows where this . . . island is. She can take you there, that way we keep your location the utmost secret. No maps, no traces. Delia will be available after lunch, so you have time to make preparations." The blonde told him, tapping her nib on her paper lightly.

{Bobbi, Demyx, Zell, Red XIII .:. Disney Castle Town .:. Hangar}
Zell grinned when the new kid thanked him, and clapped him on the back again. "Any time, buddy!" He then turned his attention to Kyle, and eyed him up and down, waving absently to Sora as he did so. "Nice duds, Ky--urk!" He'd been caught off-guard by Sora lifting him bodily from the ground in an enthusiastic greeting, but he laughed just the same. "Oof! Hi, Sora!"
Bobbi giggled at Sora and Zell, then turned a conspiratorial grin on Kuro. "Another Joe? Man, soon I'll know as many Joes as I do Jameses. Also known as too many." She would have said more, but Kyle and Riku kind of took over getting new-Joe up to speed, so she hung back a little bit and kept her silence. She'd noticed Kyla isolating herself from the group a little, but decided not to join her. If she was still upset, well, Bobbi had already said everything she'd needed to, and the last thing she wanted to do was intrude and possibly make things worse. Besides, Kyle was handing the newbie the bag of dress-spheres, and Bobbi's attention was immediately caught and held. Nothing caught her interest like design, particularly character design, and she was itching to see how the magic would mold this new Earthling to the new world.
It was moments like this when she envied Kyla's pictomancy.

[ Joe : Disney : Hanger ]
'Crap. They don't have anything either.' Joe thought. He was really hoping that they had some sort of lead he could go off of or something that could help him in rationalizing this mess.
If disappointment flooded his thoughts, his face didn't show it, and he stoically looked on as Kyle explained the whole dress sphere thing to him. Well, that explained where everyone got there duds. And why that guy's cape just magically grew back.
"Alright, seems simple enough." he said, sticking his right hand into the bag and grabbing the first orb that found it's way into his hand, pulling it out.
The sphere was about the size of an orange and felt like a glass marble. On the inside, it seemed to pulse with a distorted and flux-like level of energy that flickered occasionally into the shape of blades.
Alright, he had his sphere, now all he had to do was focus...
...
...Focus...
...
...Focus...
"You know, I'm beginning to think I might of picked a-"
Before he could finish the sentence, the sphere exploded outward in wave of gravitational energy that swirled around him in a distorted spiral of energy. As soon as it appeared though, it vanished, leaving him visibly flustered in his new set of clothes.
"-dud. I hate my luck sometimes."
Joe took a moment to give his new outfit a quick once over. It was like his old outfit in a basic way, but the overall design was sleeker, newer, and more compact. His pants fit much more snugly now, seemed to have mail sewn into them, and he felt the tug of suspenders on his shoulders, his hands were now covered in dark grey leather gloves, and his fencing jacked had now acquired a nice set of chain mail that covered the right side of his jacket, sword arm included. Overall, he liked it.
"Not bad. Chain mail's a nice touch, adds a fun asymmetrical quality."

[ Kyle, Sora, Riku : Disney : Hangar ]
Kyle blinked, taking in the transformation. Okay, definitely a fencer of some sort. He'd bet the man had a rapier or other duel-esq weapon. More interesting, though, was the sudden appearance of what Kyle assumed what Joe's element--a sudden gravitic burst.
"Huh. Gravity?" Kyle said, curling his lips as if to say 'not bad'. "Neat. Don't know any gravity summons off the top of my head, so I wonder who you got."
That part was a bit of a lie. He knew one. He just hoped and prayed it wasn't that esper.
"So, don't suppose you know why we've been called here, just to get locked in the hangar?" he asked, looking toward the large door that Kyla had just approached, to no avail. "Or did you mean that, too, when you said you had no idea what was going on?"
