Brooklyn C.

"Get up," Brooke said harshly, thumping Will over the head with a pillow. While she didn't really need to, it lifted her spirits. It was twelve AM, exactly, and Brooke was already all dressed up and prepared. To be fair, she never went to sleep anyway. "Alex is driving Kit and Ren over here and I'm going to go get Zero. By the time we come back, be ready."

Will Deneris

Luckily for Brook, he was dressed in black boxer shorts and the blanket covered everything from his waist downwards. He was sleeping on his stomach and his eyes slid open as he felt someone whack him with a pillow. Not moving, he simply glared at the wall, knowing exactly who it was before she spoke. "How nice but I'll only get up if we're making pasta," he said, smiling as he began to drift back to sleep, probably with the intention of dreaming about pasta. "You know, Zero's probably already awake," he mumbled before dozing off.

Brooklyn C.

"He is already awake," she corrected. "Like you should be," she said, whacking him with the pillow again. "Get up you lazy sack of shit, we have to get to Japan by twelve thirty and catch the shuttle by twelve forty-five and we are getting there on time whether or not you want to go. Now get the fuck up."

Will Deneris

"Is that an opening to *not* go?" He asked, with a small yawn, half tempted to grab the pillow and toss it across the room, "cause I'll take it. Why don't we just hire some cars? Alex would be overjoyed if you did. Could probably get us there in half the time it's meant to take." Sighing, he shifted onto his back to stare up at her, "you're an annoying brat, you know that, right?"

Brooklyn C.

"You can't take a car where we were going, and for the last fucking time, get up William Deneris or I will drag you out of bed myself," she growled, smacking him upside the head again with the pillow. "Up, up, cmon."

Will Deneris

This time he deflected the pillow with his arm and glared at her. "Like you'd have the body strength for me, I think you've gotten use to the brat," he mumbled, before kicking himself out of bed, forcing himself to get dressed.

Brooklyn C.

"You act like I don't train regularly," she remarked, crossing her arms, watching him with narrowed eyes. "Hurry it up," she barked. "And like I said, if you're not out here by the time Ren and Kit get here, I will feed you to a dragon." Brooke turned for the door, opening it to leave.

Will Deneris

"I'm surprised if they'll even get here in the next hour," he mumbled, "knowing Kit, he'll convince Alex to stop at every other icecream store they pass."

Brooklyn C.

"Knowing Ren, he'll stop Kit from doing it," she said, before slamming the door behind her.

Will Deneris

A few minutes later he emerged, dressed in black pants and a white hoodie, a black jacket thrown over it. Combat boots were worn but the top of the laces were undone. He went straight for the fridge, rifling through it for food.

Brooklyn C.

"Get out of the fridge, Will!" Brooke shouted from the living room, zipping up backpacks and satchels. She slipped one on and grabbed the remaining five, holding one on her right arm and the rest on her left, the right to throw to Will. She entered the kitchen and tossed it on the counter.

Will Deneris

He pulled back to frown at her, the satchel hitting him in the chest. "But I'm hungry and none of them are here yet so I have time."

Brooklyn C.

"They'll get here in two minutes," she said, weirdly specific about it. "And I have food packed in the satchel already. Devour it know if you want, I don't care, just get out of the damn fridge."

Will Deneris

"Bossy," he mumbled, slamming the fridge shut, "I'm going to keep time, you know? If they're any longer than two minutes, I will never let it go."

Brooklyn C.

"Actually they might be less than two minutes," she said, glancing at her HC. "They're actually heading up the stairs now."

Will Deneris

"You're tracking them," he said with a frown, "are you tracking everyone?"

Brooklyn C.

"No. Only the Kye family for now. You're not worth tracking, and no one else has shown any unstable traits," she explained, stretching her arms.

Will Deneris

He opened his mouth to dispute that before closing it, not quite sure what to say to that. "I guess I shouldn't mention that to them?"

Brooklyn C.

"That'd be greatly appreciated, thanks," she said, opposed to her usual threatening. The door opened seconds later while she was rearranging the packs on her arms.

Won Hyunseon

"—can ask Brooke," Ren finished as he walked in, looking tired and annoyed.

Brooklyn C.

"Ask me what?" she said, turning around.

Kit

"If there's any icecream in the place we're going," he huffed, "we passed four, glorious, shops and could we stop at all of them? No, we could only stop at *one*, and that was only because of Alex."

Brooklyn C.

"You're lucky you even stopped at one because if I was in the car with you, we'd be taking a route with *no* ice cream shops. And most of them are closed anyway. It's midnight, dumbass." Brooke rolled her eyes and threw the three of them their backpacks. "I dunno, you can ask when we get there if there's ice cream. Not that it will matter because you're not getting any."

Won Hyunseon

"You still haven't explained to us exactly where we're going," Ren reminded, catching the pack and grimacing at it.

Brooklyn C.

"Japan, we're going to Japan," she said, roaming about the room finalizing things.

Won Hyunseon

"Yeah, I know that, but where in Japan? And why?" he goaded.

Brooklyn C.

"Not important right now. All of you should make it a point to sleep in the shuttle," she continued before disappearing down the hall to knock on Zero's door.

Kit

"You're so mean," he mumbled as he watched her disappear, "why is she so mean?"

Will Deneris

"Dunno, I think she was born that way," he said, taking the icecream from Kit's hands as he walked past him. In a moment, Will was eating it with a Kit staring at him as if he wanted to cry.

Alex Bellrose

"Really, Will," she said in utter disbelief. "Surely you didn't have to do that."

Will Deneris

"I didn't but I did. He can just get some more in Disney land," he said, a mischievous smile growing on his lips, one that only Alex could see, considering his back was turned to the twins.

Kit

"We're going to *disneyland*?" He asked, practically yelling the question and looked like a kid on Christmas morning.

Brooklyn C.

"No one is going to Disneyland!" Brooke shouted, returning with Zero who looked like he wanted to point-blank everyone with an automatic rifle. "I swear if you fucking try anything Will, you will regret it."

Won Hyunseon

"Why do I have this sudden urge to strangle Will to death?" he remarked, watching Will steal the ice cream cone.

Kye Hanbyeol

"Everyone gets a sudden urge to strangle Will to death, it's normal. You'll get used to it the longer you know him," Zero said, shrugging it off. He walked past Will and grabbed the ice cream out of his hands and ignited it in flames with a spell and let the ashes fall to the ground.

Brooklyn C.

"Well then, if we have everyone, I suppose we should get going," Brooke said, opening the door. "Come on, we need to get to the Mirror Station. Out you go, all of you."

Alex Bellrose

She stared at the ashes before looking at Zero. "That's...worse than Will," she breathed out, before brushing past them to leave, dragging a traumatised Kit with her.

Will Deneris

"She's right, what I did was nothing compared to that, trying strangling Zero," he said, making a face as he followed the other two.

Kye Hanbyeol

"It's too late in the night for the this bullshit," he complained, walking out with Ren. "They'll have ice cream there so suck up your whining and shut the fuck up."

Brooklyn C.

"Did you actually sleep for once?" Brooke asked.

Kye Hanbyeol

"I slept yesterday. Obviously not."

Won Hyunseon

"Compared to you, my sleep schedule is normal," Ren muttered under his breath.

Alex Bellrose

"Everyone's sleep schedule is normal compared to his," she muttered.

Will Deneris

"She's right. That fact is, like, old news."

Won Hyunseon

"Yeah, well I didn't know his sleep schedule was shit until a couple of seconds ago, so fuck off, will you?" he remarked.

Brooklyn C.

Brooke stopped, turning around to stare at them with a glare. "The rest of the trip better be silent or God so fucking help me, you will regret saying anything."

Will Deneris

He stared at Brooke for a moment before looking at Ren.

Alex Bellrose

"Don't do it."

Will Deneris

"Well, if he wants me to fuck off, Alex, then I better just do what he said and turn around and go back," he said, rather innocently too.

Brooklyn C.

"Didn't I just fucking say to remain silent?" she barked. She didn't make a show of slapping Will, just did it and continued walking. "All of you. Shut. The. Fuck. Up. And keep walking."

Will Deneris

He barely felt her, in all honest, and scrunched up his face. "This is going to be a boring trip, I swear," he muttered.

Alex Bellrose

"As long as there's coffee," she mumbled before picking up her pace to meet Brooke's.

Won Hyunseon

*It's late in the night to be dragged around with these idiots.* He made a face and held in colourful words.

## 02:00

Luci Simonetti

"Honestly, I'd say thanks for coming with me, but considering I kind of dragged you against your will, probably doesn't apply," Luci remarked, wearing a lazy smile as he drove the hovering shuttle through the wilderness.

Lucia Wright

"You say it anyway out of common courtesy, idiot," she retorted in the passenger seat, "you know, I told myself I would never step foot in Earth again."

Luci Simonetti

"And here you are," he said, greatly amused as he steered around trees that stretched so tall he was sure they reached the sky. "I haven't been here in ages. Seems more overgrown than I remember."

Lucia Wright

She hummed, disinterested in Luci's past in all honesty. "That so?"

Luci Simonetti

Luci paused, scanning the trees before stomping on the brake pedal, bring the shuttle to an immediate halting and making him jump forward in his seat a little. He remained unfazed. "Yeah, this way more overgrown than I remember," he muttered. "The forest couldn't have grown this much in a year. Something's up."

Lucia Wright

She peered out the window, with a frown, holding on already so she didn't move much when he had hit the brake. "Maybe they had a good rainfall this year, or some village used some real good fertiliser. Or a mage is around making everything grow at twice the speed."

Luci Simonetti

"No..." he muttered to himself, turning off the engine. The buckle immediately unbuckled itself and the door slid open. "Something's definitely up. Do you want to wait here while I go check it?"

Lucia Wright

"Have you never seen a horror film? Separating is how you get brutally hacked to death."

Luci Simonetti

"I've seen plenty of them, yes," he said, although he was clearly distracted by something. "Come if you want then."

Lucia Wright

"That's what I insinuated," she whistled as she slipped out of the car.

Luci Simonetti

He looked over a shoulder, "Actually, can you grab the flashlight from my backpack really quickly?"

Lucia Wright

On the way around the car, she did as he asked and tossed him the flashlight when she reached the other side.

Luci Simonetti

He caught it, nodding a thanks to her and turned it on, scanning the forest before them. A couple of minutes passed, and Luci was nearly convinced he had been imagining things until he heard a rustle. He glanced over his shoulder just in time to see the shadow of a mysterious figure disappear into the brush and hear the sounds of beeping. His eyes widened and ran to Lucia, grabbing her hand and pulling her away from the shuttle just as the beeping ceased and it exploded.

Lucia Wright

Her heart skipped a beat as she slammed into Luci, her eyes on the shuttle bus. "Guess we have no choice but to press on now," she breathed out. "What the fuck is this place?"

Luci Simonetti

Through heavy breaths, Luci responded, "They... take their security very seriously." He grit his teeth and exhaled frustratingly. "Shit, all the tech was in there. And so was the map. Fucking..." He glanced down at Lucia, something almost like concern glinting in his irises. "You okay?"

Lucia Wright

She dismissed the question with a wave of her hand. "Of course I am," she responded, "well, I know we're..." she recited off their coordinates and direction. "I was keeping track," she added on.

Luci Simonetti

"Well that's a start," he said, letting go of her. "Guess all we have is a flashlight and ourselves. Great." Luci took another ragged breath and began walking. "And we still have eight miles to go. Damn Miyamotos and their fucking anxiety."

Lucia Wright

"Can't say you can't relate," she muttered to herself, "and really, did you expect anything less?"

Luci Simonetti

"Yeah but I don't blow people's shuttles up on a whim," he complained, narrowing his eyes at the pathway. "Also, how the fuck did they know we're all the way out here anyway? Last time I encountered any security, it was at the two mile mark."

Lucia Wright

"Guess they've improved since then," she said with a shrug, "maybe they decided they needed better security after you."

Luci Simonetti

"Last time I wasn't breaking in," he pointed out. "TE sent me. Maybe they have improved by then. Probably have psychics stationed everywhere," he theorized, shining the light on some odd shaped bushes.

Lucia Wright

She focussed on the light before kicking a rock in the bushes direction.

Luci Simonetti

Honestly Luci didn't really expect anything to happen, but considering someone just blew up their shuttle, you could never be to cautious. Nothing happened for a nearly a good five seconds before Luci heard the creak of branches and whipped around his flashlight just in time to see a figure tackle him, knocking the flashlight out of his hands.

Lucia Wright

It took her a second of deliberation to kick into action. What could she say? A dead Luci made her life easier. Moving forward she thrusted her fist into the back of the guy's neck.

Luci Simonetti

The stranger groaned and quickly rolled off of Luci. The voice was distinctly male. They reached out a hand lifted Luci into the air. Luci retaliated by casting an air spell to blast the stranger into a tree and make him loose his focus, in result, Luci fell to the ground—fortunately on his feet. "Who the hell...?"

Lucia Wright

She glanced over at Luci, doing a once over of him, before looking back at the stranger. "Guess we find out who he is. Maybe he'll have a map, or what other defences there are."

Luci Simonetti

"Why does no one have any fucking chill in this forest?" he scowled, fixing his shirt and bending over to pick up his flashlight. He shined it on the stranger who was getting up. "Name," he barked.

Lucia Wright

Not sure what else to do, she hung back. She wasn't really a violent person, a spy? Sure, but she wasn't an assassin like Luci use to be.

Luci Simonetti

"Not authorized to tell," the figure coughed out, straightening their hood.

"Don't make me kick you into that tree this time," Luci threatened. "Name," he repeated, more demanding.

"..." The stranger remained silent but hunched over in defeat. "Victor. You're not allowed to be in this section of the forest." The person had a European sort of accent, Bulgarian, almost. Maybe Croatian. Or Russian. It had to be East European at least. And they spoke decent English.

"I will damn well be in whatever fucking section of the forest I want," Luci scowled. "Were you the one who blew up our shuttle?"

"Shuttle? No, I no blow up shuttle," Victor said quickly, raising his hands up like he was surrendering. "I see no shuttle. I only attack when someone enters my sector."

"Who authorized you to attack? Daisuke?" Luci continued, pressing for more answers. The stranger's posture took on one of perplexity. They just seemed confused.

"Who is Daisuke?" Victor asked, struggling to pronounce the name.

Luci glanced over at Lucia and mouthed, "Get behind him and knock him out. I have an idea."

Lucia Wright

She raised an eyebrow before shrugging. As she walked over, she grabbed a rock and hit the guy over the head, easily knocking him out.

Luci Simonetti

"Oooh... that's gonna leave a mark," Luci commented, walking over to the unconscious body. "Well then..." He bent down and hooked his arms around Victor's armpits, dragging him out of the shrubbery. "Let's search him."

Lucia Wright

"You can do that," she said with a wave of her hand, "I'm not touching him."

Luci Simonetti

"Oh come on, just hold him still for me," he bargained. "You don't even have to do the actual searching."

Lucia Wright

"He's unconscious, not like he's going to punch you in the face," she pointed out, "or even move around."

Luci Simonetti

"Lucia, this is a Miyamoto, you don't know what they'll do. Last time I had one unconscious I got kicked in the stomach, so I made it a general rule to make sure they can't do that when they're unconscious. Now stop being stubborn and hold him down."

Lucia Wright

She rolled her eyes before bending down to hold him down.

Luci Simonetti

"Thank you," he muttered, taking the guys hoodie off and beginning to search his pockets. After a few minutes, he pulled out a device with several buttons on it. "So he *did* blow up the shuttle," he muttered. "But is he working with Daisuke? And why would Daisuke goes as extreme as blow people's vehicles up with the risk that they'll be in them?"

Lucia Wright

"Maybe that was the point? To kill the people inside?"

Luci Simonetti

"Daisuke's strictly pacifist unless necessary," he said. "I don't think blowing up shuttles is necessary." He threw the device at the unconscious body. "Dude's right. He's not working with Daisuke. But if so, who the hell is he?"

Lucia Wright

"Maybe he's just some guy from Russia," she said with a shrug, "Russia's shady enough as it is, wouldn't be surprised if they have some project going around here or nearby. Maybe he's protecting something of the government. Or Daisuke isn't here anymore and someone else has taken over."

Luci Simonetti

"I mean... fair point, but he's telekinetic. No country on Earth is fully aware of beings with powers among them, so Russia being involved is a no-no. Other thing is probable though. I'm gonna pry into his mind, can you secure the perimeter?"

Lucia Wright

"Sure, I will take down any person I find with my out of the world fighting skills," she said, standing up, "I will also set up an electrical fence to jolt them all to death."

Luci Simonetti

Luci's body shook with laughter at the response, and it took at least a whole minute for him to calm down. "Okay, okay, don't secure the perimeter, just make sure I don't get killed while I'm doing this."

Lucia Wright

"You really should have brought a better companion, I'm not a fighter," she said, making a face, but she turned her head to watch the tree lines.

Luci Simonetti

"You got me there," he said with a shrug. "But you're useful for other things. Plus, I planned to do most of the fighting. Just sucks you're not a Dreamscape User."

Lucia Wright

She snickered to herself at that one. She figured out Alex was a dreamscape user ages ago. She'd snooped into Alex's things and overheard her and Reign's conversations enough to figure it out. The image of Alex and Luci figuring this out was a funny one. "Shame, isn't it?"

Luci Simonetti

"That's actually a good thing for everyone around you at all other times. Has anyone ever told you, you're a very nosy person?" he mused, closing his eyes to focus.

Lucia Wright

"No," she said, "to be fair, I've never really poked my nose into anything with you. You told me your business from the get go."

Luci Simonetti

"I'm not talking about me, and I don't tell you *all* of my business," he said after a few moments of silence. He opened his eyes and stood up, dusting his jeans off. "So, Daisuke is definitely still here. And this guy is also definitely not affiliated with him."

Lucia Wright

"I know more about you than you know about me," she pointed out before stretching her arms, "and who is Daisuke anyway?"

Luci Simonetti

"I really wouldn't try that theory, Lucia," he said, not the slightest bit of jest in his voice. His demeanor quickly returned to normal with his next line though, "Dude from another universe who runs a village of very fucking powerful human beings. Kind of necessary to end the threat coming upon our collective universes."

Lucia Wright

"How interesting," she said, "so basically *her* rival? Powerful and secretive. And with different genitalia."

Luci Simonetti

"You could say that," he said with a shrug. "Although as of now, they're allies. Who knows though, might be seeing a war in the next century."

Lucia Wright

"Everyone says their allies, then they stab each other in the back, never trust an ally," she hummed. "So...can we get a move on?"

Luci Simonetti

"Why the hell are you so dark and shit? Damn, you sound like fucking Batman, Jesus," he muttered, walking forward, crossing his arms. "It's almost summer in Japan and yet it's freezing out here."

Lucia Wright

"Because that's reality and...maybe it's a deterrence. Too cold, turn back."

Luci Simonetti

"We are not turning back," he muttered. "Let's go, pick up the pace, Wright."

The entry to the village was as obscure as ever, and he swore the brush around it had gotten several times thicker since the last time he had been here. But Daisuke told him to stand by the entrance, so he supposed he had to. He tugged his hood further over his head and gripped his wrist, looking around wearily. "Come on Daisuke..."

❝posted on {{{2}}}❞

He appeared out of the shadows, frowning over at him with his hair falling over his eyes. "Should I have been expecting you?" He asked, his voice quiet and smooth.

❝posted on 00:35, August 7, 2018 (UTC)❞

"Fucking..." Cali blurted in surprise and then covered his mouth. "Sorry, didn't mean to um..." He frowned, looking around. "Did you really have to do that? Why can't you guys make normal exits. And yes, I'm the informant Elizabeth sent."

❝posted on {{{2}}}❞

He watched him with almost dead eyes, though his mind was ticking inside. "Is that so," he responded before walking past him, "come. I want some tea."

❝posted on 01:15, August 7, 2018 (UTC)❞

Cali opened his mouth to respond but immediately closed it, realizing he didn't have anything to respond and followed Daisuke, shivering at the cool breeze. How had his mother truly run out of informants? This place was creepy, this dude was creepy, and he was cold and tired and kind of scared.

❝posted on {{{2}}}❞

He lead Cali into a small hut, leading him to a small table. "Sit," he said, sounding almost bored, as he began to prepare the tea.

❝posted on 01:39, August 7, 2018 (UTC)❞

"And I am sitting," Cali said, seating himself at the table, crossing his legs. "So, are you always this much of a buzzkill?"

❝posted on {{{2}}}❞

"Did you expect a club of some sort? A raging party?" he drawled, "you entered my home, you can deal with whatever side of me that you receive."

❝posted on 02:27, August 7, 2018 (UTC)❞

"No, that's not what I expected. What I did expect, was to meet someone other than Master Fu. I feel like I'm in Kung Fu Panda," he said. "I was *sent* to your home for purposes beyond me."

❝posted on {{{2}}}❞

"Surely she gave you a message of some sort," he responded. He was actually rather amused but he didn't show it. "That could be a purpose."

❝posted on 15:22, August 7, 2018 (UTC)❞

"Yes, she did send me with a message to give you. And because I'm not magical or whatever, it looks like complete gibberish," he huffed. "It's annoying being surrounded by magical wizards or whatever you people are all the time."

❝posted on {{{2}}}❞

"Maybe you should return to Earth. It would solve your problems. Visit for holidays," he said. "I don't suppose you'll be nice enough to give it to me?"

❝posted on 14:27, August 10, 2018 (UTC)❞

"Visit who for the holidays? I don't know anyone here," he deadpanned, pulling an envelope from a back pocket in his cargo pants. "Here," he said, handing it to Daisuke.

❝posted on {{{2}}}❞

"I hear there's a thing called meeting people. Cities are filled with people, I'm sure you'll meet someone," he pointed out as he took the envelope, flicking it open to read.

❝posted on 03:43, August 12, 2018 (UTC)❞

"Seems unnecessary, and may I remind you, I cannot just come and go between worlds as I please." He rested his head on his palm and yawned. The sleep he could be catching up on right now. "That's a lot coming from you anyway. You never leave this place."

❝posted on {{{2}}}❞

"So go live my nightmare," he responded, "I'm happy enough here. It's my home. Why would I want to leave? You, on the other hand...would you consider that planet your home?"

❝posted on 15:50, August 15, 2018 (UTC)❞

"I wouldn't consider anywhere my home, I don't have one," he retaliated, narrowing his eyes. "You can't just be moved from one universe to another and then suddenly feel at home. Doesn't work like that."

❝posted on {{{2}}}❞

"You think I don't know that?" He asked before hesitating and shaking his head. "You make your environment your home. Even if your family isn't there."

❝posted on 06:24, August 18, 2018 (UTC)❞

"Says the dude that lives in a secluded village," he sighed, rolling his eyes. "I was told someone would bring me back to the Mirrorworld?"

❝posted on {{{2}}}❞

He wasn't going to bicker with a child. Daisuke had certainly made the village his home, embraced it. It's not like he could bring his own family here. "Yes," he said with a shrug, "they'll be here soon enough. Time's fickle."

❝posted on 01:02, September 7, 2018 (UTC)❞

He stared at Daisuke for a few seconds, settling his expression into one of simple deadpan. Is this how everyone talked two hundred years ago? Really? Fickle? He stood up, the cape of his hood flaring up around his body as he stood and turned to the door. He had half the mind to demand a tour as he flipped his hood over his head and left, heading deeper into the village.

❝posted on {{{2}}}❞

The only thing Daisuke was wanting at that moment was, well, tea. Plus, he knew the boy would be back eventually or he'd be hearing yells saying 'I'm lost'. Daisuke had been alive for a long time and...hurrying up something wasn't exactly his priority. What come will come.

❝posted on 00:23, September 10, 2018 (UTC)❞

"Despite the secrecy, this place kind of has a sleepy vibe about it," he said, yawning a little, looking around. He headed towards a small one story building with lit windows and glanced through the window. Empty. Weird.

❝posted on {{{2}}}❞

Eventually, Daisuke finished his tea and didn't fancy another one so...he went out. It didn't take long to find California. "You won't find anyone here."

❝posted on 01:59, September 13, 2018 (UTC)❞

He nearly made a snarky comment but shruggged it off. It wasn't worth it. "Everyone's in shelter, I know. Mo-Elizabeth told me," he muttered. "I'm just looking around."

❝posted on {{{2}}}❞

Daisuke gazed at him for a moment, the mistake not lost on him, but he didn't press. It'll come in due time. "Do you usually do that? Poke around someone's home?"

❝posted on 02:22, September 24, 2018 (UTC)❞

He turned to him with the most passive aggressive smile in existence. "Do you usually hide when a harmless visitor that you know and expect and you have security checked several times comes into your home?" he replied back, in the same tone.

❝posted on {{{2}}}❞

"Yes," he stated without a beat of hesitation. Daisuke had dealt with a lot of people throughout the centuries and passive aggressiveness wasn't really going to affect him, "I was really hoping you'd write your message down on the visitors book instead of hustling me. Must not have seen it. And...why would you be harmless? Nobody is harmless. You open the doorway to your downfall if you think someone is harmless. Regardless...you won't find anything, not in these buildings anyway."

❝posted on 04:30, September 30, 2018 (UTC)❞

"Trust me. I'm harmless. I know I am. In fact, probably my only strength really," he said, muttering the last part. "And I'm not looking for anything. Holy shit, is it your job to be suspicious of everything? Actually don't answer that. I don't need anymore of your monotone bullshit. Sounding like a robot." He sighed. "Why did I even agree to do this? When she said most powerful beings in the known universes, I didn't expect anything so underwhelming."

❝posted on {{{2}}}❞

"Did you expect me to be sitting in a cloud? On a throne? Or did you expect me to have thousands of people slaving away to my needs? I don't need to be overwhelming. I like the quiet life. I live in a deserted little town in Japan...entertain me, what did you expect? Did you expect to find something akin to the Garden of Eden?"

❝posted on 03:57, October 6, 2018 (UTC)❞

"No, not anything extra like a throne or slaves. You know what? Just forget it. You're frustrating. I have enough frustration in my life," he said, cutting him off, not even bothering to listen after "slaving away to my needs". He threw his hood on, making a face of displeasure as he stared at the empty building. Almost a minute later, he had completely faded from sight, but he was unaware of it, still standing there glaring at the building.

Won Hyunseon

"I love walking in the woods in the freezing cold in the middle of night, so much fun," Ren grumbled, rubbing his shoulders. "Isn't there a faster way to get there?"

Brooklyn C.

"Sure there is," Brooke said. "It's called running." Ren grumbled something under his breath but didn't say anything else.

Kye Hanbyeol

"He has a point, we've been walking for an hour now," Zero pointed out. He was displaying less evidence of being bothered by the cold, but if you looked closely, you could see his shivering.

Will Deneris

"If Alex wasn't with us, I'd suggest we do run but I don't really think she'd be able to keep up with us," he mumbled. Will was trying (and failing) to ignore Zero and his shivering. "On the topic of the squirt, I think I actually agree with her. Disney would have been a lot more entertaining than this." Without even glancing at Zero, he slipped off his jacket, with the inside being made of sheeps wool (no animal was hurt in the making of this jacket. Will was an animal so he wasn't going to support the harm of other animals) and tossed it over Zero's head. Being on Will's body, it was already warm. Will didn't really care for the cold. He dealt with worse temperature with less clothing before.

Alex Bellrose

Alex was just following Brooke. When she was told they were going to Japan, she did the mental math and figured out it was going to be winter so she was bundled up in a coat and scarf. Of course, she wasn't really paying attention to any of them as her mind was taken up with the realisation she'd forgotten her bag. That had her insulin in it. It had been 4 hours since she'd taken her last shot, so she'd probably be good for another few hours, save they don't eat a lot. Hopefully. That was a big if. "I'd rather not run," she said. Why? Well, her blood sugar isn't going to handle that activity and two...running. Gross. "Are we close?"

Brooklyn C.

"Lemme check," Brooke said and then said right after, "But we can't. There's no signal out here." Ren sighed and tugged his hat over his ears to keep them warm. "The trams won't be too far from here. Breathe."

Kye Hanbyeol

Although he was startled by the jacket, he didn't show it and simply shrugged it on without comment. He knew it was Will's without looking and felt kind of guilty, of course, it's not anyone's fault it was twenty degrees outside. "I've never appreciated mirror travel this much," he mumbled under his breath.

Kit

Kit was happy, too happy. Bouncing along next to Will, he'd somehow gotten his hands on an icecream stick and happily licking it, not at all bothered about the weather. "I think you guys are too negative," he declared, "look on the bright side. The woods are very pretty. We have no wild animals chasing after us. It's not raining. We have pretty stars to look at *and* we're together," he chirped.

Will Deneris

Will turned his head to look at Kit with a frown. "Where'd you even get that?" He asked, pointing his finger at the icecream.

Kit

"It was in my pocket," he retorted, "it's not like it was going to melt. Why? Do you want one? I have two more."

Kye Hanbyeol

Zero looked over his shoulder at Kit, narrowing his eyes. "How did you even fit that in your pocket? Wouldn't it have melted by now?"

Kit

"It only melts in hot climates, this isn't hot enough to melt," he responded, "though one pocket does feel slightly stick. I decided not to check it."

Alex Bellrose

"Why do you guys even question things? Like do you even need to know the answer?" She asked with a sigh. There were so, so many things Alex could question but does she? No. Because it's safer that way.

Won Hyunseon

"Because we want to know why Kit does shit like this," he sighed. "Did you seriously stuff ice cream in your pocket jackets, Kit?"

Kit

"I would never do that," he said, "I get the ice creams in small packets and then stuff them into my pocket. Without the packet, it's dirty and just all around unpleasant. I am not an animal."

Kye Hanbyeol

"You're right, you're not an animal, you're just stupid. Which is harmless on its own but honestly your lack of ingenuity concerns me, Kit," he commented, sounding unimpressed.

Brooklyn C.

Brooke rolled her shoulders and paused, glancing at the ground before starting to walk again. "Almost there," she announced. "Just a half mile or so."

Will Deneris

As Alex opened her mouth, he turned his head to look at her. "We're about a kilometre away," he said, knowing exactly what she was going to ask and she closed her mouth. "At least we know with someone like you around, we won't get lost," he pointed out as he glanced to Brooke. Though, lets be real. Even Kit would be able to manage to find his way out. Alex? Definitely not. But the rest of them? Good chance they could. "I hope whatever place we go to is, like, breathtaking and marvellous. If it's some small creek with a fish or two swimming around, this really wasn't worth it."

Brooklyn C.

"Will, you know exactly where we're going. I wouldn't call it 'breathtaking' and 'marvelous' but it's something," she sighed, tossing her hair over her shoulder. "Anyone, I suggest you guys stop bickering back there and bother yourselves with walking faster."

Will Deneris

"I think Alex is walking as fast as she can," he muttered to himself. "I know but I'm really hoping I'm wrong. That place is dull and creepy. Reminds of Chenobyl."

Brooklyn C.

Brooke stopped to hoist Alex on her back regardless of complaints and continued walking, replying to Will as well. "Well it's certainly not abandoned. It's inhabitants are just... not lively. That's what we'll call it. Not lively."

Kye Hanbyeol

"Not lively is an understatement," Zero pointed out. "It feels like no one lives there."

Alex Bellrose

For once, not an ounce of complaints came from Alex, who quickly wrapped her arms around Brooke, realising this meant that she could finally relax and save her energy. "So we're going all the way to a practically deserted town?" She asked. *I want disney world.*

Will Deneris

"It's creepy and I'd rather spend every moment of my life somewhere else."

Brooklyn C.

"Y'all overdramatic as fuck. It's not even that bad during the daytime," Brooke pointed out, rolling her eyes for what was probably the fiftieth time in that small span of thirty minutes.

Won Hyunseon

"But it's not daytime," Ren said simply. "And frankly, I'd like to get to these shuttles so we can fucking sit down, thanks."

Kit

"At least we can see the stars. There's lots and lots of stars here. Usually, because of pollution, we can't see a thing but out here? We get loads," he pointed out as he gestured to the sky with his icecream.

Kye Hanbyeol

"Well look at you, being positive," Zero muttered. "Isn't that cute."

Brooklyn C.

Luckily, they had neared a white column standing above the trees, marking the location of the shuttles. It was charmed for only certain people to see it and that group was it. "Look, we're here," Brooke said. "Now all of you can stop your moaning and groaning and—"

Won Hyunseon

Ren stopped dead in his tracks, shocked. "Guys... It's been destroyed."

Will Deneris

"Yep, I'm going to keep on groaning, louder this time," he declared as he looked at the destruction. "We're screwed and you lead us to a goddamn trap. Whoeveer did this could be in the trees, waiting to jump us. I want 'brooklyn killed me' engraved into my gravestone."

Kye Hanbyeol

"Well shit, isn't this grand," Zero sighed. "I've always wanted to die in an obscure forest in Japan. Why the fuck not."

Brooklyn C.

"Calm yourselves," she sighed. "It might not be what we think it is. Let's investigate, c'mon kids."

Will Deneris

"If we're becoming the gang of scooby doo. I'm Daphne," he declared, "I look great and kick ass. The perfect Daphne. Alex can be the dog."

Alex Bellrose

She narrowed her eyes over at Will who was moving into the destruction before rolling her eyes.

Brooklyn C.

"You're definitely the dog, Will. Alex is... Alex is Alex. She's a new Scooby Doo character," Brooke said with a shrug, turning over a large piece of a broken column over.

Kye Hanbyeol

"What are you two even talking about?" Zero muttered, crouching down to clear the snow off a sign.

Alex Bellrose

"I don't like that show," she mumbled, before shifting so she could slip off Brooke's back. She rubbed her arms as she looked around. She didn't like this. "Okay but...why would any of this be broken?"

Will Deneris

"People who don't want us to reach our destination," he said with a shrug, "which I think we could all think of a good few."

Brooklyn C.

"Okay, yeah, we've ticked off a couple dozen people but—" She pulled a sheet of metal out of the snow, her hands freezing. "—who would know we were coming here? Someone must've been spying or leaking something."
