Upon hearing the cloaked man’s comment, Ryuko would quickly become flustered and bared her fangs. “Shut it, ojisan! You’re one to talk about someone being odd” she huffed. Maybe it was weird...and a little strange to sniff people, but she would not hear a word about it from that guy. He was by far more strange than her and the two memory absorbing ghosts combined. Besides, she had a reason for doing what she did- though it seemed it was just her imagination. This was just another human like them who apparently finished fighting those Hollow from earlier. Whether or not the girl would forgive her caution and bizarre behavior mattered not to her. That being the case, she wasn’t going to apologize either; if she was looking for one, tough luck! Trust was well fought for and earned for Ryuko and was not given away to some random person who joined them at their table. Considering the other’s lax attitude about all this, it seemed there could be a bit of leeway to relax...for now. Though the old man was awfully quick to invite the pretty girl to training- was he thinking of adding her to their group? Ryuko grumbled to herself and reclaimed her seat, keeping a mild gaze on this “Vanessa” with arms crossed.
She tried to ignore Xzavior’s flashy show of him conjuring another steak for himself. It was hard to admit, but that was a juicy looking piece of meat. “S-So! You said we can do training here. What kind of training are we doing? Exercising? Sparring? I never really trained before- I just hit things until they die, really. So...I don’t really know what to expect here” she admitted. Her red eyes would drift to Kuro, wondering if the spirit ever trained before. Maybe she had and could not remember, though it was just as easy to believe she had plenty of experience. From what the blonde believed to be the case, Kuro was a ghost that collected a lot of memories and experiences. How many of them were actually hers? The same went for Xzavior, though he seemed to have a better understanding than the blinded girl. Could be he was older too. “Oh! We could go to that place full of Hollows to practice later too! I know how to get in if you’re interested” the girl offered Musabori.

Although this” he holds up his arm “can make some things difficult, one benefit of it is options.” He gives a grin. He enjoys a good fight, and Kuro seemed like a fighter to him. It is then that the only other guy in the group speaks. “Oh? By the tone of your voice I would think you were planning not to join us.” He gives a grin. Finally, he turns to Ryuko. “Basically whatever type of training you want. They have quite the setup down there. And just hitting things until they die works up until a certain level yes. But against whatever ripped through the town earlier, I doubt that would work. And I for one, enjoy living. And I hate feeling outclassed. So, I plan to train and get stronger. And hollows were what you called those monsters that try to devour us right? Sounds like a fun place to practice as well.” He then heads to the room at the back, letting off a little bit of spiritual power as a way of showing what he was to the man guarding the door. He then leads them down a ladder into a massive underground room.

XXX After speaking quite a bit, Vanessa would simply listen and observe for a little while. The subject of training was the most prominent during conversation. The girl with the blindfold would provide the group with the definition of what training is. She almost wanted to make a jest in calling her Webster, but she noticed the cracked smile she gave. It was the first sign of her personality she had seen so far. The overly flashy man who looked as though he had stepped out of a Jane Austin novel wouldn't seem upset that his materialized meal might have gone to waste. Instead he had chosen to eat it for himself. His continued acts of making food and drink appear out of this air continued to fill her with awe. Though at this time she wished she had her own hot cup of tea. When her mother was still alive having a cup of tea was common in the household. The reactions from her odd encounters with the girl who had taken a whiff of her where more than amusing. The young woman would yell back at the man who had commented that it was odd. "Ojisan? He doesn't really look THAT old." she would reply with a slight laugh. Although he was clearly one of the older ones of the group she questioned if it deserved such a title. However that would not stop her from calling him that from now on. It was then that the young woman would suggest they go to a place full of hollows. "I don't know. I literally just got away from hollows. I'm not sure if I want to go back." she would rebuttal a little. As the ojisan would attempt to lead them into an underground training area, Vanessa would follow. The fact that she had given the her name to the group of misfits, and they had failed to introduce themselves as well did not go unnoticed. "So are you guys going to tell me your names... or should I start naming you myself?" she would speak in a playful tone.

Kuro"Black Angel"Tenshi --:: Blank ::--
Kuro stood up from the bar and motioned to the passage the bar-tender was reveling as the way downstairs to the underground training area. The platinum haired enigma from the Valley of Screams turned and looked around to Vanessa. "I do not have a name, just the designation Kuro Tenshi. Kuro is used for short.", she said in a tone devoid of any emotion other than calm resolve. The fact of the matter was that she was trying to grow, evolve and become something greater than this empty shell she had become in the problems with the Soul Cycle accidentally ditching her spirit into the Valley.
She then walked down the stairs into the underground of the bar where training was permitted. Granted, she was going to be training in a different way than just an acquisition of skills. Kuro Tenshi was there to learn from Musabori and the others, taking their memories and assimilating them into her own form to build her up into a creature that was of substance, identity, and personality. It was a lack of those three things that drove her own will to live. She had no other recourse to her at this point in this purgatory. Stuck between death and life. Neither corrupted, nor pure. "I will be glad to test myself against the first person who is willing.", Kuro said with a slight smile curving her lips upward.

Xzavior closed his eyes suddenly, as if hearing something that was silent to the rest of the party gathered here. A wry smile came to his lips, as his eyes opened.
”Ah! It seems I have some pressing business to attend to back home! Any of you are welcome in Northweald any time.”
Only to Vanessa he added, telepathically
”My kingdom is a place where you don’t have to hide your nature. Hollowkind is welcome there.” At this, Xzavior stood up, brushed off his suit (though there was no dust on it to begin with), and bowed deeply.
”I thank you for your company, and bid you adieu”
With this, a shining light appeared in the air before Xzavior, turning soon into a line, which soon widened into a gilded wooden door. As Xzavior opened the door, one could see a vast wasteland of endless rock beyond. Xzavior stepped through the gilded door.
The door stayed open for several seconds (long enough for anyone to follow who wished) before it shut, and disappeared with a pop

Musabori's explanation did little to explain to her how to train. But she would resent his claim that her flailing was ineffective; it worked for her so far, quite well in fact. Most Hollow couldn't keep up with her random attacks and the Hollow from earlier were no exception. If anything, she just needed to get stronger and use more force! Ryuko shook her head in response to the new girl who didn't think her name for the man was too accurate. "Give it time, he'll show his age" she teased with a smirk. Of course she knew he wasn't really that much of an older man, though he didn't seem to mind and she didn't know what else to call him. After all, he still neglected to give his name to the group which was kind of annoying to her. And it surprised her none that he showed interest in visiting the Hollow world, seeing as he craved destruction and what not. Vanessa chiming in; however, made it seem like she planned on sticking around. She did sort of insert herself into their party which was super odd and it looked to be she was following them now like Xzavior. Speaking of, the man would draw their attention and announce that he had to leave them.
He had urgent business back home, wherever that was, and hastily opened a portal. Ryuko peered inside, taking note of the landscape within that was very different from the Hollow world she'd experienced. Xzavior took his leave, bidding them farewell as the portal lingered for a moment before also disappearing. 'He called that place his home, which means it's also Kuro's home, right?' the girl deduced as she looked to her comrade. Well after seeing that bleak and drab place, she could not blame her for leaving. Ryuko huffed, not commenting on Xzavior's dismissal while waiting for her food. That's when Musabori stood and walked off, trying to lead them to the training area. As everyone got up and followed, the girl cried out "W-Wait! What about my burger?" Since everyone was headed out, she groaned and begrudgingly followed the others, not wanting to be left behind. It was a little darker she noticed heading down the steps, but tolerable.
She was behind the redhead who asked for their names before she named them herself- kinda like she did with the guy in front. Ryuko sighed before answering "Don't you dare start calling me 'Blondie', I get enough of that, thank you. Ryuko Takai or just Ryuko would be fine." The stairs took them down quite a ways before they arrived in a giant underground room. It was a massive field, almost too much space for their little gathering. "What? They just have all of this space underground?" It was almost ridiculous but at least they wouldn't have to worry about getting in each other's way. The first to step up to the plate was none other than Kuro who offered to spar with whomever with an unexpected smile. "...So we're just fighting each other? Should have known" Ryuko shook her head with a smirk. She wasn't upset with this development- this was something she could do after all. Yet, she didn't jump at the offer, waiting to see if the "old man" would accept her proposal first.
Reitsu 145 | Speed 30 | Strength 35 | Defense 30 | Stamina 20 | Intelligence 10 | Spiritual Power 20 Xzavior exits through a door that appears out of thin air, claiming to need to take care of some kind of business. He also mentions it was back home, which meant he didn’t live anywhere nearby. It also reminded him of how Kuro had appeared out of nowhere. He watches until the portal closes, then turns to Vanessa and answers her question. “My name is Musabori Kuu Shifuto.” He then turns to Ryuko. “Fighting, practicing techniques and other abilities, or just normal physical training. But I do tend to prefer training by fighting. It gets the blood going more, and is more immediately applicable to defeating enemies.” And after that he turns to Kuro. “I wouldn’t mind sparring with you. It would be interesting to see you fight.” He walks out into an open area of the training space and assumes a ready stance, raising his hammerfist arm in a blocking position.

XXX The platinum haired young woman was the first to respond to her request for the names of the individuals she was so socializing with. "Kuro... that's cute" she would reply in a somewhat cheerful tone. The group seemed very ready to start sparring with each other. Now it was just up to her to find a way to weasel out of the actual spar. Before she could get out a little 'Maybe I'll just watch' excuse a voice would speak in her mind. Upon first hearing it she felt threatened. However after recognizing the voice, and the nature of the messaging being revealed she calmed down. Although she did not hide her nature because she was afraid. She often did so because she bored, or for the simple deception. The invite intrigued her, and she would not miss this opportunity to turn this simple night out into something more. The young woman was not without her manners, and would deliver her good byes with haste. The blonde young woman would specifically ask not be called 'Blondie.' It was almost begging to be called the nickname. The older male would give his name as well. Of course she remembered their real names but it was so much more fun to tease. "Ok Blondie... Ojisan. I have to run." she would say quickly. With haste she would make her way thorough her way out before the door before it was gone.

Reiatsu 145 | Speed 30 | Strength 35 | Defense 30 | Stamina 20 | Intelligence 10 | Spiritual Power 20 Musabori looks up after assuming his stance towards … he doesn’t remember. He knows he was getting ready to spar with someone, right? Or was he going to just practice moves by himself? He turns to ask Ryuko what had just been going on, but she has disappeared herself. He guesses that she got tired of the group and left after the man in the suit and the girl from the bar had. Now the group of four has dwindled to just him. Musabori is again on his own. He decides to leave the bar, since he has no one to spar with. As he gets outside he sees smoke rising from the direction of both the cemetery and the hot springs. With his interest piqued, he heads in the direction of the hot springs to check out what has gone on there.
