{Ignorance is bliss... until reality throws a Heartless siege at you.}
[Traverse Town : First District]
The group had just passed Cid's accessory shop when a bright light flashed from the courtyard below, which was in between them and the Gummi Hangar. Soryuju jogged over to the railing and peered over, spying two men preparing to fight. They seemed courteous enough, and though Merlin was beginning to walk away, he didn't seem afraid or nervous, so it likely wasn't meant to be more than a sparring match.
"Well, let's avoid them anyway," Soryuju muttered under his breath, turning to motion toward the others behind him to follow him; he made his way toward the stairs and began to walk a spacious distance around the duo. Hopefully they wouldn't get dragged in as collateral.

 [Third District : Merlin's House --> First District : Restaurant]Merlin had been about to respond when the other man, Cornelius, dashed over and interrupted, introducing himself. Merlin was a slight bit miffed at the man's lack of manners, but said nothing as the two entities began to converse. That is, until it became obvious what was about to go down.
"Yes, well, don't damage the surroundings if you can avoid it, I've already just repaired this district yesterday," Merlin said with a frown before stalking off toward Cid's accessory shop, leaving the two men on their own.

 [Third District : The Survivors' Apartment --> First District]"Hmm... perhaps Window can aid us in thinking of what it would be called?" she asked, a reassuring smile on her face as she stood, cleaning off the table from the breakfast they had finished. "Come, Youni, gather your things... I think it's time you had your own adventure."
---Sometime Later---
The duo had arrived from the Third District safely enough, entering through the doors on the side of the courtyard just a few moments too late to see Merlin stalking off. All they saw was Soryuju's group coming in their direction, apparently trying to go around a duo of fighters looking to spar. Directly across from Aerith and Youni was the Café, and Aerith could see a growing group within the main area, beginning to eat. Each of them looked familiar.
"There he is, Youni," Aerith said, pointing toward the café with a reassuring smile before beginning to walk around the duelists, Youni's hand in her own.[[GMed to speed things along; if you had something else you'd wanted to add, I can change it, just let me know.]]

[[Core]]
[[Traverse Town] .:. [First District]]
"Satisfy me? Like a scientist learning the secrets of our universe, I am never satisfied. At least not until I can find my better." Core picked up his blades and walked back over to the sword case, sheathing them before throwing the case over his shoulder and approaching Kuroda again. "I would fight you now to determine whether or not I am truly stronger, but I feel a much better strategy would be to follow you. Someone of your caliber is sure to attract enemies, and powerful enemies they would be. Who knows? Perhaps the one to finally best me in combat is a man who aims to take your life."
Core put his hand out to shake Kuroda's as he said, "Like it or not, Kuroda Takumi, you've got a traveling partner. And don't worry, I'll refrain from fighting you until I'm sure that powerful enemies no longer flock to you."

Kuroda
{Traverse Town ~ First District}
This Cornelius was an interesting fellow. He sought only the strongest of fighters, but what would happen if he was killed by one weaker than himself, by poison or some other method of indirect harm? He would die a pointless death if he chose not to fight back, as his manner seemed to indicate. Thankfully, he was choosing to not fight in the streets, as it would only serve to anger Merlin and cause further damage to the town and its inhabitants.
So he now had a traveling partner? What made the man so sure he could even come with Kuroda? Did he have some means of travel? "If you truly have a desire to come with me, then we must obtain an alternate means of travel. I would not be able to travel as I normally would. Have you some means of acquiring transportation?" Kuroda asked as he looked at his new traveling partner. It was strange. He was only traveling with him so that he could meet enemies that he would be bested by.

Mitsudo
[Traverse Town :: First District]
The dark blue clad monk nodded quietly, following Soryuju. Normally, he would have stepped in between the fight or maybe even joined in on the spar. But he was not in the mood to get another lecture from the Prince and Princess.
"Very well, Soryuju. Pray tell, what shall we do if pulled into their battle? Attempt to retreat, or attempt a head on battle? There is only two of them, but I can't imagine what their skill level could be like."
Mitsudo sighed, looking at the two men. What kind of spar were they going to have? How destructive could the two men possibly be?

[*~Youni~*]
"...."
[First district: Merlin's Hut]
....Everything started with an empty heart-
...Now the first steps into the future are being made...
..with Hope Leading the way.
Youni's own Adventure.
What was an adventure? Was the same at the dictionary terms described in the books she's read, or the more whimsical topic in which Merlin often tried to 'entertain' her with in the past. Whatever this was, it involved packing items for a long term trip. Though it wasn't hard as first perceived, for Youni owned very little. Lacking any true personal desires, she had no reason to desire things either unless they were something she was told to have. Hence her 'allotment' consisted of the clothes on her back, her belt pack stuffed with a few ratio of alchemical liquids consisting or more ethers then potions, and of course..her Leather-bound Sketchbook.
----------
It was a good thing Aerith had the girls hand during their journey to the café, because there were many distractions that could have had Youni curiously investigating for who knows how long!
Even as they approached, she was looking intently at the duelists, " They're fighting?- "There he is, Youni,"
Window.
Immediately the girls attention was controlled again, and without further distraction she followed her soon-to-be-former caretaker inside the cafe. Window was indeed there, with more familiar faces linked to their previous meeting yesterday. they were consuming sustenance, perfectly understandable.
It was when they were close enough to the eating party, did the male's name usher from her lips without provocation. Was she stating the obvious, or actually calling him? With her monotone inflection it was hard to tell.

"Attempt to negotiate, to be perfectly honest, and fight only to defend ourselves, if necessary," he replied easily enough, only to notice as the two fighters called it off, apparently coming to a compromise of sorts. Soryuju smiled, chuckling somewhat- better to be safe than sorry, anyway, right?
"Guess we don't have to worry about it. So, then, our Gummis should be right this was," he said to the group, walking toward the giant doorway into the Gummi Hanger and pushing it open. Inside, standing over a table looking at a set of blueprints, was none other than Cid Highwind, chewing at a piece of straw.

[Third District : The Survivors' Apartment --> First District]Aerith smiled as the two of them neared the Café; indeed, Window had come across quite a gathering. She and Youni calmly walked up to the group, composed of: Solaris, Window, Nalo, Artemis, Rasxa, and Vain.
"Good morning," she announced, bowing slightly as she stopped near the large table of eating young men. She looked to Window and Solaris with a reassuring smile. "It seems you have gathered a few more friends to travel with you. Have you any plans yet?"

Nalo
Nalo smiled at Aerith. He was starting to like her. She was always there with a smile. He chuckled slightly to himself, finished ruffling Window's hair and pulled up a empty chair to the table. Nalo looked back across the table and made a funny face at Youni, his left ear flopping down over his face. "Well, hello again. At least we didn't literally bump into you this time. Sleep well?"
Xεlℐzα℞
Xelizar inched his way into the first district more. He had become entranced in a prismatic glimmer in the Victorian-esque lamps that had almost forgotten why he was here in the first place. Then it hit him. His ship wasn't quite where he had left it. Rather, it had vanished entirely. He dashed over to Cornelius and Kuroda, the only two remaining in the courtyard and inquired. "Pray-tell...Do you know where my bloody ship is?!"

{Kwehkweh!(Adventure!).}
[Traverse Town : First District]
The chocobo had been wandering around the town again, gathering items. Mainly shiny ones. Shiny items were some of the best things.
With his bag full of things, the chocobo made it back to everyone at the cafe, warking happily as he arrived to announce his presence. Of course, he was quite happy with his finds, and was also wanting to know where this 'gummi' was. He was hungry, too. And where were they going after that?

[Kellan Feredir]
{...} [Traverse Town: First District] Kellan frowned at the potential fight. Why in the world would one try that? Well, Kellan could understand the thrill of the fight, but he only fought when he either had to, or for his bounties he needed to catch. Any other fighting, for sport or fun, was just...pointless. As he walked behind the group he had decided to travel with, the bounty hunter looked relatively apathetic, eyes and hair brown. Hopefully, they'd get off this world soon, so he could get back to figuring out how to find this Haruko. If she wasn't here, where was she?

[Traverse Town: First District-->Inn~Lobby] Jiraal watched the courtyard silently, he had hoped that the two men that were going to spar would put on a show but it seemed they had settle what ever differences they'd had. "Jeez this place is like a giant anti-climactic black hole..." His eyes drifted over to some man asking about a ship. "A Ship, Why didn't I think of this before!" Jiraal meant to acquire a ship, of course by acquire that meant take. He got to his feet and stretched before heading toward the Inn, he was sure that garage was some where near there... "This could be a problem..." the large group that had just entered garage could pose a threat and despite his talent he knew full well he couldn't beat all of them but as luck would have it he probably wouldn't need to. He quietly peered into the hangar from behind the group, scanning until he located what he was searching for, there was a dark corner behind a ship, it was barely visible and would be perfect. Jiraal shifted quickly to his right, he extended his left palm and created a sphere of anti-gravity before launching it into a wall across from him, almost immediately after ward he opened a rift and disappeared in it, of course only to reappear in the dark corner of the hangar hopefully unnoticed. The distraction should give him ample time to take one of the ships a escape and even if he didn't manage to get one at least he sparked a little bit of excitement.

 [First District : Gummi Ship Hangar]As the giant doors opened behind him, Cid craned his head around to glance at the visitors, his piece of straw being chewed rather vigorously as he did so. "Well well, if it ain't blondie- and ya brought friends! Headin' out again?"
Before he could even get a response, however, Cid watched as an orb of magic energy flew from behind the group and toward the side of his hangar, exploding with energy- however, nothing seemed damaged. Jiraal would find that he could damage none of the walls or Gummis, and he could not enter any of the gummis unless he owned one- obviously, the hangar was protected by Merlin's enchantments.
"What in the name of- who did that?" Cid shouted, now completely turning around and grabbing his spear rather threateningly as he glared at the group coming in- he hadn't spotted the man entering the portal because he had been behind the entering group. "Sory, that ain't funny, you know damn good and well I don't take to any foolin' around in my garage!"

"Yeah, off on another adven-" Soryuju began to say, only to have the sudden energy blast soar past him, making him grab his spear out of reflex and turn around to face the group. He didn't think anyone in their group had that type of magic- so who had that been?
"Don't think it was one of my friends, Cid," the Dragon-Knight responded, going a bit at-ease, though not releasing his spear.
