[[Riku : LoD : Tea House]]
Looking at Alan with a slightly quizzical look, Riku remembered that it might not be obvious to someone unacquainted with the state of the world. He replied, or went to getting out what he could before the three buffoons made their appearance, "Well, looking for King Micky is our current goal, but the underlying reason would be to-"
It was at this point his conversation was cut short and he had to focus his attention on Chen Po, Ling, and Yao for a moment. Once the situation had quickly resolved itself he returned his attention to Alan, "Well, basically, we're trying to fix the worlds and put them back to the way they were. If anyone would know how to do that, King Micky would, and I think that's why he's gone missing again."

[Axel: LoD: Firework Yard]
Canvas - song for both posts
The nobody knew he was pushing the guys buttons, but perhaps it was for the best. This guy needed to snap. He was going to eventually, judging by what exactly it was that was making him so miffed. Better now, then say in the middle of a fight, frankly Axel didn't really want to have his a** handed to him all because Blondie felt like having a meltdown at a worst possible time.
He didn't really resist the guy as he was shoved back against the tree, he just gripped his hands over Clouds incase the mentle case dicided to start ringing his neck. Better to be safe then sorry. Besides, having an all out brawl may not shine well with Leon if he found out- then again, he didn't really care. The only sign that any of this event was sinking into the nobody at all, the fact he had dropped the mocking smirk, revealing his blank emotionless expression that trully belonged to any nobody. He let the verbal lashing sweep over him like water on a ducks feathers.
Nothing... Nobody... no Heart...
Then something along those insults freaked the guys in reverse, causing him to let go. His mortified face, his trembling white knuckled hands, gripping hsi sword.
..a Nobody wouldn't understand....
"You're right." he replied, dropping the facade, his voice cold and hollow, empty like the shell he trully was.
He started to walk slowly towards him, one step at a time, like you would approach a frightened animal. Cause thats what Cloud was to him right now, some really agitated creature that could either attack, or run at any moment. He had to re-establish something more balanced, or things could get a hell a lot worse.
" You're right."
Step.
" It shouldn't be my business, but it is."
Step.
"I AM nothing."
Step.
"I am a Nobody."
Step.
" I have no Heart."
Step.
"So then.."
Step, the last one, close enough, he would be able to grab Clouds hand if he tried, but he kept it hanging by his side.
"Why- do you think I want it back so badly?" Axel's bright green, hollow eyes started right into Clouds, like he could see everything Cloud had, that he was now missing. Like the light of his tormented heart sparkled like some bright shiney thing behind his eyes, and all Axel could do as bask in it. Pining for his own.
"I can- wont- will never- understand, until I get mine back. I did everything wrong before to get it. I'm not making excuses for what I did, but as upset as you are, thats how hollow I will continue to be. I am not Zack. And I never will be if furtune smiles and brings it back to me- but you know, if it wasn't me, it was going to be someone else who would remind you. Eventually, our darkness always creeps up on us. It's enevidable. It's not all about YOU. You're not the only person who's lost someone I'm sure. Be greatful you can feel the grief that loss deserves. Stop whining, and face it. Because you can."
[Kyla: Land of Dragons : Tea Shop]
Yes, Cory was such a confusing topic, even for her. Their first meeting was aweful, traumatizing, and yet- everything that followed created such mixed feelings.
She would simply shrugged, but there was a shadow passing behind her eyes. She seemed to agree but perhaps half heartedly.
"Perhaps....I..dunno. " When she realized that made no sense, she tried to put into words but it was just too difficult. "... maybe he was simply unable to help himself. I... I can't be sure. Cory is an enigma. He's dangerious, yet he comes across to me as someone who simply knows no better. That maybe a naive way to put it but- there have been times..."
'..thanks... for believing me'- Cory said before pulling her into an embrace. There was a sense of desperation, relief as well.
' I give this secret to you- in case... incase I go too far. Use it against me'
' You- with me!' They persued the blue haired lunar bezerker over the high towers of Beast castle.
'... can't keep yourself out of trouble..' She watche din horror, his sacrifice for her life.. like a silent apology, taking a bite out an apple as he fell.
This was the side of Cory, she wondered... had anyone else seen? What did it say about her, if she did not acknowledge it? Like it or not, in a twisted way, his display of mixed actiosn and emotions painted a very disturbing anf familair person in her hearts memory. And as such... she couldn't bring forth the hate that some people believed he deserved.
For better or worse, Cory had sucessfully sewn a seed of doubt inside the girls heart. Leaving him forever in the grey and Kyla at a loss.
"...I have no right to say. Not any more." she muttered under her breath, as she turned the page of her sketchbook, closing that part fo the story concerning the battle in Agrabah. The pages that followed depicted the market place, where they stocked up on items. The moment on the stairs where Maggie declared she would be Kyla's friend, dispite the pictomancers past reluctance to build any relationships at that time. Thinking back on that as well, Kyla realized how much she'd changed in sucha short time. Before now, no one was allowed near. No one.
It was only when she crossed the threshold of the establishment, did she realize they'd arrived at their destination, and silently scoulded herself for getting so oblivious again.
Tea- thats what she needed! To wet her whistle, to sink further into her memories, while still being alert, and tell more of the story for those who needed to catch up.
But there was so much choas, Kyla hoped she was abel to chronicle enough and keep things accurate.
The Tea shop was everything she ever dreamed of! the furnishing, the flowers, the aroma of the brewed herbs wafting from it like a whole new atmosphere!
When Kichi and Alan started thinking of ordering teas, Kyla's eyes roamed to the tea pots and kettles. A small squeek of delight shone behind her eyes. Ever since she wa slittle she always wanted a real Chiense Cast Iron Tea pot! It was on her to-do list of her life! If she ever came to China.
She was about to pick up one very intricate looking green pot when Chen Po, Yao and Ling appeared. At first it seemed their maybe trouble, but it then resolved, thanks to the kind hearted Chen Po. Gosh she loved that chara- er- guy. " It would be a delight. Hero's of China." she replied, establishing the fact she knew they had saved the capitol with Mulan in the original story. KH universe or not, that story hadn't seemed to change if Mulan was in the Palace. Kyla thought, if they could show proper respect, using knowledge the locals would probably know, they would perhaps blend in more. " To share your table would be an honor."
When the woman came over to take thier orders, Kyla spotted one she reconized, and asked her. " Long Men Xi Zhu please?" Also known as Imperial Gate Pearl, A blooming Tea.
The tight bud of leaves that would house a delightful flower display when dropped into a clear pot of water. As it would steep, the knot of leaves would bloom, releasing the delecate flower display underwater- mixing jasmine, herb, and whatever flower within into a complex yet wonderful tea. It seemed like a good choice for this rare occation.

[Alan :: LoD :: Tea Shop]
Alan sighed slightly as Riku responded, and took a long sip of tea (delicious, by the way. It had a surprisingly complex flavor that was sharply sour at first, melting into a smooth sweetness as it spread over the tongue). "In other words," he said, "you don't really have a plan, and you're looking for King Mickey in order to get one. But, you've made some pretty serious enemies, haven't you? Like that man in ice armor. That seems to imply you've been doing more than flailing about ineffectually. For that matter, who are Kyle and Ultima? I heard them mentioned during the . . . exchange." Alan couldn't shake the feeling that Seymour was hugely important. He would have to track him down later.
Alan's attention was briefly subverted when Kyla's tea arrived. He loved watching the process of a tight ball of tea unfurling, like a flower in the spring.

[Timmy : Hook's Ship]
The boy's fun was put to an end with the entrance of a battered Cory flying through. He chuckled a bit at Alice's jokes towards Cory, but then she left. "Aww, what a bummer! I was just starting to like her moves..." he let out a sigh until he heard his name being called for.
"Coming down sir!" He jumped off of the pole and landed on the deck and ran over to Cory. He looked and the battered and beaten down Cory and just couldn't help but think to himself about how funny of a sight it was.
"I don't mind the practicing of drive modes and all, but I personally don't see any reason to practice it right now. And I think you should run along now and heal yourself first. I'm not your little servant boy after all" The boy turned his back to Cory, grinned a bit and began to walk over to a barrel so that he could sit on it.

[ Sora : Forest ]
The Magnega spell finally faded as the hearts of the Heartless floated into the sky; having been killed by the keyblade allowed them rest, to return to limbo and await their bodies and souls. Sora plopped on his feet, glancing as Joe finished off the Neoshadows with Sylph (two of her- neat!) aiding him.
"Man, those summon things are cool. I gotta figure out how to get one," he said, grinning as the final Neoshadow was slain (though no heart was freed, sadly). As the eerie shadows were finally gone, the Chocobos returned, warking happily. "Well, get one again."
With a nudge from Destati, Sora looked to the horizon (what little he could see of it), seeing that the sun's rays were almost completely gone. "Guess we better get back and get some rest before morning- we should have another name by then, I hope..."

The rogue grinned at Timmy before replying, "Heal myself? Psh. I injured myself to prove a point to a bunch of pompous spell-casting fruitcakes. And besides that, entering a Drive will completely heal both participants." The ronin held his hand out for Timmy to grab before adding, "And besides that, it takes a lot of time building up Drive energy. The sooner we practice, the sooner I can start refilling my reservoir."

[Joseph: Forest]
Joseph panted as he finished off his heartless, Sylph desummoning herself as he smiled and laughed. The adrenaline was still pumping through him, making him want to move and jump and fight more. It just made him so excited. Of course, getting rid of that excitement was going to be difficult, but not impossible.
Actually, he had to take a minute to even remember wha Sora was talking about with a name. When it dawned on him, though, he mentallly smacked himself. Duh. The list of Wise People.
"More than likely. Let's go."
With more energy than probably necessary, he hopped onto Izza and smirked at Sora. "Race ya back." And he was already nudging Izza towards the train, the chocobo going at a hardy trot.

((Ah Kyla! That tea is from my home province! XD!!))
[Alice :: HT :: Underground Bar]
Alice stared straight ahead of her, the irises of her eyes taking on a darker red hue as her eyes narrowed. The subject of her stare was the bartender whose already distorted face seemed to shrink back. His bulbous left eye seemed to twitch under Alice's gaze.
"Yes. Chocolate milk. Is there something lacking in that deformed skull of yours that there's this misunderstanding taking place?" Alice asked with a snarky tone with an underlying tone of annoyance.
"B-b-but... we don't have milk."
"Oh?" Alice responded with an innocent look, her eyes widening slightly before it all fell with her sly smile. She placed her bare hand on the counter and leaned in, immediately melting away at the scarred wood. "Then... I suggest you remedy that... soon~" Alice muttered under breath dangerously, she was in a foul mood.

[ Kyle : Training Car ]
Kyle was about to answer Dawn when Louis said his piece, and though Kyle disagreed with the lack of tact (he tended to avoid personal confrontation if at all possible), he secretly agreed with pretty much everything the guy said. It was all very tactical, strategic- something that came second-nature to the somewhat-neurotic host of Ultima.
"Food sounds like a good idea. I'm in the mood for a pizza, to be honest," Kyle muttered, bending over 45 degrees backward in order to stretch his back somewhat before making his way toward the exit of the training car. "Besides, it's probably only been about 5 minutes in the real world. We should probably go and check on everyone else, see how they're doing..."

"Hmmm, you bring up a valid point. But why not just save the energy for Driving for when it's more important than just training and healing. As you can see I'm perfectly fine! Should I take it that you actually need me? Need my help to get something done?" the boy was starting to enjoy his chat with Cory.
"NO! NO! That just won't do now, will it Cory?" The boy began to laugh at the situation. "Besides I changed my mind. I don't like the concept of Driving one bit. Not one bit. Also looking at that beaten form of yours is such... an eyesore. Now go clean yourself up." The boy raised his hand and began to gesture Cory to shoo.

[Cory .:. Hook's Ship .:. Deck]
It was low at first. Hardly audible, really. But it was clearly visible, the shaking of the shoulders as through through rapid hiccuping. Then came the low chuckle, cracked and psychotic while still remaining no louder than a whisper. It slowly began to build in decibels, like a far off muscle car quickly approaching. Very soon, the laughter was in full force as Cory summoned the Revblade to his working hand. "My my my! It would seem the kitten has become a puppy! But puppies still have only bark, Timmy. Beaten form? I can't use my left hand, and you refer to it as beaten? What a load of s**t!"
The renegade dug deep, but there was nothing to dig into. He was completely drained of mana. However, to him that simply meant fighting at his base physical power... Which was still amongst the most impressive throughout the Earthlings. He managed to slip his limp and injured hand into his pocket, pointing the Revblade at Timmy with a grin one could only call manic. "Alice seems to have found a way to get you stronger, Tim. So much that you seem to believe I am a joke in my current state."
Cory rushed forward, fighting for the first time in ages without his Will as he shouted, "Fact of the matter is, fighting me when I can't burst is the only possible way for you to stand a chance! This is perfect!" The ronin swung downwards at Timmy, the roaring of the Revblade accompanied by manic laughter.

ɀ·ვ·ს·მ ჱ ღ Disney Train | Dining Car :.
"Ugh..."
"... Thanks Cap'n," Zeba noted, looking the Cyborg in the eye and nodding appreciatively. Though that was far from the truth, just like it always is. There was no hint as to her to real thoughts, just like it always is.
"Ya know, sometimes people piss the hell out of me. For frick's sake, I know there's no point lying. S'not like it's gonna achieve anything. So I wasn't. I wasn't lying. And for @#$%'s sake, why the hell do adults always look at you with pity whenever something sad happens? Who the hell gave them the right to pity you? Or to assume how you feel? Just 'cause I'm young and someone just died doesn't mean I'm all depressed inside. I understand that it's sad and respect that it's sad, but honestly? I barely knew her. And that doesn't even really matter. Even if I did know her, I wouldn't be sad at all. If everyone here died, I don't think I'd honestly be sad.
... Val, do you think that makes me disgusting? Me not giving a @#$%?"~"... Zeba, I... ... ...."~"Never mind that, ha ha. Let's go find the others and get this show on the road."
Snorting aloud, Zeba sat up and grabbed the bowl, nodding again to Silver and Zell as she headed out of the Dining Car, though not before calling a, "Hey! Nana!" as she spotted the beastly scholar. Grinning at the red feline as she passed him, the ninja took herself and her bowl full of goodies outside of the 'food place' and down the direction that she believed to be the Training Car. Well, she had a 50/50 shot.
"... Sometimes I think that if I had a Replica, deep down, we'd be exactly the same," she allowed herself to state, though the notion had crossed her mind several times before. Regardless of that, she expected no answer from her summon, and not surprisingly, she didn't get any.
But that doesn't mean it didn't hurt.

[Timmy : Hook's Ship]
Timmy was very unimpressed by the ronin's attempt at being maniacal and simply yawned at his words. He summoned forth his shields before Cory took the swing and angled one shield so that the blade would only graze and slide right off. Unfortunately he still felt the blade's vibration, but because he didn't block it head on like an idiot, it was only enough to send a somewhat numbing sensation. Giving Cory no time to react Timmy drove his foot into Cory's side and sent him into the railing. He then cast a magnet spell at Cory attempting to pin him between the spell and railing.
"You are pathetic Cory! You think you can be bigger than life, but you are nothing more than a joke!" the boy shook his head in disappointment at Cory.
"Bursting is just a cheap parlor trick! And I'll show you that even a puppy could wipe the floor with your pathetic a**!" The boy let out a thunderous roar, similar to a dragon's, and was being covered in a green light, then purple light and a red light at the end. As electricity jumped off of the boy's body he glared at Cory and with a grin he dropped several thunder spells on top of Cory.

[Cory .:. Hook's Ship .:. Deck]
The railing was suddenly splintered as Cory took off again, having swung backwards with the Revblade almost entirely out of instinct. The thunder spells came crashing down on the railing as the ronin closed the gap again, still smiling at his apprentice. Swing after swing, the Revblade came crashing down at the defender without pause in between. Close quarters combat was Cory's forte, after all, and the speed and power behind each strike were both faster and stronger than what most Earthlings were capable of.
"Pathetic? HA! I am bigger than life! I am bigger than death!"

[Dawn : Training Car -> Dining Car]
Dawn flinched outwardly at Louis's words about the outcome of the battle. She barely paid attention when his voice came out less serious. Dawn was looking away from the group as Kyle said something about pizza.
"Hmm, that does sound good," she said in a soft and miserable voice. Without looking at anyone she started to walk towards the door, a little faster than she intended. Dawn stopped at the door for a brief moment. And looked at them with a small smile, "I'll see ya there."
Then she left.
Dawn walked into the Stable Car and spotted Zeba as she was heading to the same place she had just left. Dawn smiled softly as she passed the girl saying a soft 'Hey.' before she left that car as well.
The smile fell as she continued a slower pace as she walked through the Sleeping Car. Her mind going over everything Louis had said. It wasn't as if the fact that she was the reason she and James lost wasn't going through her mind already.
~'Don't let what he said bother you too much. As you said before you are not a fighter.'~
'Yes, but, it is true. I didn't think or plan before I rushed in. I left James on his own. If it was a real battle, we both would of died.'
~'Now you listen to me. It was as Flasher said, this was a training exercise. You are supposed to learn off of it. Not beat yourself over the outcome. You just know what to do for the next time. Sides, in comparison to the rest of them you were fighting against, you are still a rookie. You are inexperienced that's all. It is not your fault that you have hardly any experence in these areas. You are learning. That is the point of practice. And if that moron can't understand that, I'll peck him on the head myself, till he gets it into his skull!'~
Dawn felt her lips twitch slightly, in an almost smile as she got into the Dining Car. She made her way over to the kitchen portion where Silver and Zell were. Her mouth was feeling rather dry. She wanted something to drink. Juice or a soda perhaps.
She opened the refrigerator, after moving her way past Zell. Inside was appeared to be a bottle of cream soda. One of her favorite drinks. She picked it up and opened the bottle and took a sip.
"Wow!" she gasped, it was one of the best cream sodas she had in a long time. She pressed her finger to her lips, then after a few moments she took a larger drink. As she was drinking it down, her stomach let out another grumble, louder than the first. It wouldn't of been hard for Silver or Zell to hear it.
