{ Kyle : Mirage Arena : Second Floor Halls } "I'm okay," he groaned, not actually moving at all except to keep his face off the floor. "Just a sprained ankle, I think. And a bruised dignity. And shattered family honor, maybe? Definitely a broken sense of pride, at minimum."
He paused.
"Yeah, no, I can't think of any more," he said, weakly chuckling as he rolled around onto his back to sit up, reaching for his left ankle. "Why is it always the left one..."

[Noelle : Disney Castle : Mirage Arena] Noelle snickered as she knelt down next to Kyle, "Dishonor on YOU, dishonor on YO COW,"
She plopped herself down next to her friend and tilted her upper body to get a good look at the ankle, "A little cure spell should probably do it . . . Always the left one? So you've injured it before right, back home?" "HEY EVERYONE! DO YOU WANT TO MEET MY GOOD FRIEND CAPTAIN MORGAN? COME TO THE LIVING ROOM!""Buh?"

{ ATE : Good Friend 'Captain Morgan' : 7 }
{ Kyle : Mirage Arena : Second Floor Halls } Kyle's body lightly tensed at the sudden, echoing yell, but only in so much as he was quickly alert in case something was going on. When he registered the message, he rolled his eyes.
"Ah, Feather, I'd recognize that voice anywhere," he said, chuckling to himself. "Anyway, yeah. Left toe twice, left ankle at least one time that stands out but who knows how many in sports... and my fingers, too, actually."
His expression darkened, eyes narrowing. "Why does God hate my left side?"

[Noelle : Disney Castle : Mirage Arena] Noelle snorted at Kyle's dramatic change in expression and tone, casting Cure on Kyle's ankle (and briefly debating on getting the whole left side for good measure). "Or, alternatively, God loves your left side so much he'd like it to join him sooner than the rest. I think I saw an anime about that once, but it was an arm, a leg, and one whole brother. But anyway, in all seriousness, I take it you're right handed, so the stronger and more coordinated side of your body isn't getting injured because-stronger-and-more-coordinated. Meanwhile, your left side can apparently rot in hell."

{ Kyle : Mirage Arena : Second Floor Halls } "Whoa come on my brother is in a god-thing stasis don't joke like that," Kyle said, looking completely shocked but laughing simultaneously.
He twisted his ankle around, counterclockwise, clockwise, counter again, doing all the various points and stretches. "Good as new. You're like an angel," he said, grinning up at her, though that faltered somewhat as another look of confusion crossed his face. "Which really just throws a wrench into all this divine interaction talk. What role do you play? Interloper?!"

{Delia : Paris : Hati’s Mansion} "Delia, sweetheart," the ebony-haired girl said in response to Ashley's question, "I'm always lurking around the mansion, I've got all the whispers on Hati's dealings--you probably never even saw me."
Delia was faced away and didn't see the light blush rise in Ashley's cheeks, but figured her comments might get some sort of similar reaction, as they always did. Everyone had a thing for Hati, and if they said they didn't they just didn't know they did yet. Hati seemed to have that way about her. Delia was far from jealous, that s**t was gross.
"Sure thing," Delia said in response to Ashley's latter remarks, "I gave Hati a heads up once I'd identified you, she'll be ready to chitchat by the time we get to the tea room. Don't tell her I told you, but your sudden appearance sent her into a frenzy trying to prepare for company, she cares about that s**t. I hope you like tea because, as I think I told the other fella here not too long ago, she's a slut for tea. Also, enjoy it, she treats her guests better than they usually deserve."
Delia walked in relative silence as she lead Ashley the rest of the way to the sun room where she'd taken Saint and where Hati had later also entertained Adam. She pushed the heavy door open and held out an arm to gesture for Ashley to go in. Hati smiled up at Ashley from the plush red couch she was seated at before a low tea table set for afternoon tea, minus the teapot itself. "Hello, dear. Please, come sit with me."
Today Hati was still dressed rather comfortably--leggings, bare feet, and an elegantly-made, expensive looking shawl--but her makeup and hair were impeccably done, as usual. The candelabras that had been around the room the night before were no longer there, as the midday sun pouring through the glass ceiling and walls of the sun room was enough to light everything well. If Ashley bothered to look out past the glass walls she would see the manor's beautifully tended and designed gardens, something that Hati had without-a-doubt done herself.
"I hope Delia didn't give you too much trouble, I think I've imparted a bit too much sass into her personality."

[Noelle : Disney Castle : Mirage Arena] Noelle's eyes lit up at Kyle's reference, a look of excitement flashing onto her features. So he was also a Night Vale fan? She was happy to have another Night Valian in her company, there was so much creativity and delightful weirdness in it to talk about.
"Now I'm not saying my real name is Erika or anything . . ." She laughed, trailing off as she stood and held her hand out for Kyle to take, "So what's the deal with you falling on your face anyway? Where were you in a rush to? Or . . . skipping? To? Were you skipping?"

{ Kyle : Mirage Arena : Second Floor Halls } "That is a thing that may have been happening, yes," he replied, diverting his gaze momentarily out of an at-least-mild sense of embarrassment. He was usually better at catching himself, was the issue. As he took her hand and stood up, his eyes lit with excitement. "But I was just coming back from showing Merlin and Yen Sid!"
He lifted up his arms vertically, palms toward Noelle, and in a brief but familiar flash of light, a pair of ornate gauntlets appeared on his hands, covering his arms from finger to just below the elbow; in the center of his palms were brilliantly glittering gems that appeared to house cosmic phenomena.
"Class change!" he said, eyes lighting up. "I think! Maybe. I was meditating and dived--dove--dived down and got the pedestal and three lines and everything. Sorcerer! Thing. Which... is a class I don't know anything about, actually."
His gaze drifted off past Noelle, the smallest sparks of concern and confusion playing in his eyes. "Is that a thing? I mean, it's a thing, I got it, but... I don't know what that is. Just some vague messages from the light shard thing."
He paused and snorted, the concern displaced--masked, more than anything, as she could see in his eyes--by momentary amusement. "Vague yet menacing."

[Noelle : Disney Castle : Mirage Arena] "Oh wow!" Noelle said softly at the appearance of Kyle's newly discovered hearbound weapons. Those were cool.
"Well, I mean, it's definitely a thing if its been assigned to you by . . . whatever gives us these things. I think when we're given a class it's kinda meant to be vague, though." She mused, taking one of Kyle's armored hands and turning it over to look at it, "I mean, not one hundred percent vague, like for me you'd think 'Witch' would be pretty clear. But like, there's a lot to discover about it through discovering yourself, right? It's all very philosophical and whatever, but worth the work to figure it out. If it were all spelled out for you from the get-go, you'd never improve or grow, would you?"
Pangur Ban meowed impatiently from Noelle's bed, breaking her chain of thought. Noelle looked through her open door to the fluffy white kitten and smiled, "I'll be back in a minute! So bossy. Anyway, did you wanna check out whatever Feather's up to? They said Captain Morgan and I'm thinking drinks might be involved."

{ Kyle : Mirage Arena : Second Floor Halls } Kyle hmmed to himself as she spoke, staring down at the gauntlets. He had general ideas, it was true, particularly with what he'd been told; that didn't diminish the anxiety settling into his stomach.
Noelle's cat brought him out of his thoughts, and he couldn't help but grin, fake cat or no. Then the topic turned; he was more thankful than he'd expected. "Yeah, sure, though I'd prefer Kraken myself. Or a red blend. Should probably get food first, though, hahaaaa..."

{Steven : Mirage Arena : Stables} "You certainly don't look like a female dog," came the familiar voice... yet still the voice of a stranger, "Then again, what do I know? I'm just the local pariah."It wasn't clear when Steven entered the stables, but his naturally quiet footfalls were enough to glide him up to her chocobo's stall and settle next to the pillar alongside it, he was glancing over the name plates passively, his expression lazy.

'Kweh!', the chocobo replied in a friendly greeting as his wings flapped.
She turned faced Steven with a nervious smile, "Oh my gosh. You have an uncanny knack of startling me when you enter."

{Steven : Mirage Arena : Stables} The young man cracked a grin, but otherwise seemed distracted, his eyes rested on one plaque in-particular. His grin lowered into a neutral, disinterested stare, "My apologies."The plaque read, 'Jessie'. Louis had supposedly claimed a chocobo for his own and named it. More irrefutable proof that Steven could do little to argue- not with others, but himself. This particular revelation left a sore spot in his chest. Louis even stole this from me...A deep breath and his attention returned to Dawn, "Normally I wear keys on my belt loop to make noise."

{ Dawn : Mirage Arena : Stables} "Makes total sense," Dawn said with the same nervous smile. Her eyes followed after the direction that Steven's went. The smile faded when she looked at Jessie's name plate. The girl took a few Gysahl Greens and walked over to Jessie's stall and held her hand with the food to him.
"Hey Steven," she said after a period of silence her eyes remaining on Jessie, "I need to apologize to you.

{Steven : Mirage Arena : Stables} Steven stared at her, both puzzled and surprized. With all the masterful skills he had with the english language, he wove a reply so eloquent and sublime the muses themselves would swoon upon hearing it- or not, "Huh?"
