Down a deserted side ally Bailee appeared mid trip through a portal, catching herself on one of the brick walls before she fell. Managing to regain her balance she gazed up and down the ally with a look of open shock on her face. While she had ended her trip in the Second District, she had begun it in Twilight Town and until a few seconds ago had very much planned to have it end there. Through some form of luck, be it good or bad, she had managed to throw herself through an open portal of some sort. Bailee, however, had no notion of portals. Only that she seemed as of late to find herself one instant in one world and in the next instant another one. Taking a deep breath she calmed down a tad enough to take notice of the noises and lights coming from the open end of the ally. The first ‘portal stumble’, had allowed her to escape the black shadows with yellow eyes and the terrifying purple and black darkness that was creeping through her cul-de-sac. This time nothing had been pursuing her, and the new surroundings brought nervousness instead of relief. Then, Bailee had been only too happy to run at the first person she saw…this was different.
As she faced the entrance to the ally, she crossed her arms unconsciously in self defense and pursed her lips. She knew the signs, this was a huge happenin’ party. She would be just a pesky inconvenience really, and as the icing on the doughnut she wasn’t of the partying persuasion. At parties she was always too self-conscious join in, the idea of talking to strangers or even (heaven forbid) dancing left her knees wobbly. This indecision to approach the party goers for help froze her actions for a full minute before she managed to reason herself into taking a peak around the corner. It was as she had feared; a party.
However, with nobody paying attention to her, she felt much more relaxed then she had worrying herself to death in the ally. After all, most of the fear she had generated was all in her head. The party seemed nice, with most everyone dancing and having a good time. People were coming and going from the party which (at least she hoped) meant that it was an open party and she was a welcome guest and not, in fact, crashing someone’s birthday party (a though among many that had plagued her).
Bailee took a breath and kind of pealed herself around the corner into sight and tried to relax. Relaxing, however, when you have just inadvertently tripped into a party on another world, was much easily repeated over and over in her mind then done. A little ways away she saw a large man swagger up to a girl hugging her own piece of wall and give her a concerned look. Bailee decided that they looked nice, mostly because they weren’t hopping around on the dance floor or part of a crowd. She cautiously leaned against the wall and started to take a closer look at the party goers. It wasn’t like she was hiding anymore and, if she was lucky, someone might talk to her instead of her having to butt into someone else’s conversation. Her timid self conscious nature getting the better of her, she stayed pressed against the wall looking out at the party taking place rather than rushing in.

Angelous extended his hand and shook it. He then said, "I am sorry I got to go so, see some other time."
Angelous then left.

Getting the picture, Riku simply nodded at Aki's answer. His head swiveled from her to Gemini, an eyebrow raised curiously. It wasn't really like him to attempt chivalry, but it seemed it was going alright as of now. Gemini had stood up, something that Riku did not like at all, for not only did it suggest hostility, it showed that Gemini wasn't afraid of Riku. It was a good trait, courage, but it was one that could get you into deep trouble, especially when dealing with Riku. After all, a lot of his confidence thrived on feeling superior strength compared to others.
"Is there a problem?" He asked Gemini, making a shrugging gesture as he cocked his head to the side. Sure he was cocky, but he could definately back it up. An attractive waitress sauntered behind him briefly, and Riku was quite thirsty. Turning and grabbing a cup of punch from the tray she held, Riku thanked her as he held it to his lips, sipping slowly. As he turned back around, he awaited an answer to his question.
[Meh..shortness..><]

Wiping the last bits and pieces of chicken skin off his face, Comm looked back at the man. He thought, "So, he does know Ikaine. That means he's the one who knocked him out. Hmph, must be pretty strong to get him unconsious." Comm stopped and sat down in a nearby chair. His enormus size made it so that he had to watch his movements, for he might break the chair. "Ahh, so you're the one he was talking about." Comm gave out a faint laugh. "He's mighty strong. It must have taken a lot of might to render him unconsious. As for your question, he is good. But enough about him, what led you to the Olympus Colleseum?" Comm asked Craze, rubbing his chin with his hand.

Rayus pelted down the street, running full out towards the lights and blaring music. "Great late again, I was look forward to this too." He dodged the stragglers either leaving or just arriving to the party. Finally reaching the cross street he sprinted around the corner, his eyes went wide as he saw the large man in front of him. Using all the quickness he possesed he rolled to the right and ducked between two guests talking. Sliding on his knees he slid all the way into the center of the dance floor, the spot light stoping directly on him. " Oh no....." He moaned.

[Meh..shortness..><] Gemini gave a cocky, evil sneer. " Not at all," he said through his clenched teeth, " I just love looking at the blood of someone who will soon be added to my collection." With that, Gemini unsheathed his sword and held it up so that Riku could see. " Each streak is the mark of a victim's blood. I wonder, will your's be as BLACK as night?" Gemini chuckled a bit. He then put his sword back in its sheath. ((Blahhh, short)) |

Once she got a bit more confident with her surroundings, Selia started to move sideway, in order to get a better look at things: there were a few dancers than moved in a really good way and she liked to follow their exhibition, even if she wasn't a dancer herself and no way in the world she would dream of doing something like that. In public, no less.
The crowd, however, tended to get in the way and block her sight in various ways. Selia wasn't so high, so even the most random average height guy was a real pain when he placed before her, albeit unintentionally.
Again, the young woman had to step sideways, struggling to get a glimpse of a dancing couple that she really had begun to admire. Just when she finally found a satisfying spot, though, she felt something under her shoe, and realized she must have stepped on something, or, disaster of disasters, on someone's toe. Praying it wasn't the latter, she quickly scrambled back, turning to the possible offended person. There was only a girl close enough to be victim, looking a bit on the timid side.
"I'm sorry!" Selia immediately exclaimed, feeling a bit of a moron: if by chance she hadn't be touched, those excuse would have looked weird, but if she had stepped on her and didn't say anything she would look as a rude brat. Not the best of way to get acquainted with someone...
[OOC: Didn't know how to put that, but Baileen would be the girl XD]

It seemed the teen could pick up on signs. That was something Aki hadn’t expected. Most people could never tell exactly what she had meant by her words. She watched as he circled over to Gemini and asked him one more time. That interested her in the fact he was showing that he obviously didn’t believe Gemini or her story. However, he was getting too close. If the man wanted to, Gemini could slit his throat in an instant. And that was something Aki would not let happen. Never Again…
Aki heard the way he sneered. That was never good. Her eyebrow raised as she looked at him. Hearing his words, her eyes widened and she was on her feet. It may have been an idle threat. However, Aki had learned not to brush Gemini’s threats off. He always seemed to make good on them. Her crystal gaze found home on the blade. Her eyes scanned the steaks. How many were for Cryzor? Or Dane? The memory of the last sight of them swirled into her minds eye. Her mind had tried to protect her from parts of it. She could not remember the whole experience. However, one thing she could never shake off was the sight of both Dane and Cryzor with their throats slit and blood everywhere. The image made her feel sick to her stomach.
The feeling of nausea and sadness swept over her. It was obvious in her eyes for once. She gazed back up at Gemini. There was no point denying it. Even if Cryzor was in there, she wanted to kill Gemini once and for all. And this time make sure he was dead.

As she stood at the edge of the crowd, still glued to her spot on the wall, Bailee noticed that the girl she had tagged as looking friendly earlier was approaching, trying to get a better look at the apparent dance competition taking place at the center of the party. As the girl, who looked to be only an inch or so shorter than herself and dressed in a practical manner neared, Bailee began to pep talk herself up to start a conversation. So focused was she on finding the right words to say, that she didn’t notice in time how short the distance between them had become. As a consequence the step on the edge of her sneaker came as a shock, causing her to start a bit.
"I'm sorry!"
The girl had turned away from watching the dancers to look at her, and Bailee felt her liking for her grow at the apology. Bailee prided herself as being a very non-obtrusive person, but still liked it when she was noticed. Not to mention that this gave her the perfect opportunity. “Oh!...gosh no! I mean, it’s alright. It’s really crowded here!” She smiled, hoping it looked pleasant instead of nervous. Now that the conversation had been started, she had a much easier time trying to continue it.
“Er…my name is Bailee. And ah, I don’t mean to sound silly but…I was wondering if you could tell me where I am. I’m afraid I’m here by, um, accident.” Still nervous and unsettled by her sudden change of surroundings, the words began to tumble out of her mouth a little faster. “You see, I was in this place called Twilight Town…I wound up there by accident too, but a few minutes ago I tripped over something and the next thing I knew I was here. I don’t really know where here is, and I don’t know how to get home. When I stumbled into Twilight Town, it was because I was being chased by little shadow things. I’m sorry to burden you like this, but….do you have any idea what’s been happening to me?” Being able to finally lay out her problems calmed her down a bit, talking always did help.

Thank the heavens she hadn't look like an idiot too much and the person she had, ehr, run over was on the conciliating side. And on the talkative one as well, Selia soon realized. Not that she minded: she was a bit lost in that place and someone who paid attention to her more than the usual distracted look was a bit comforting. Usually, the young woman wasn't very outgoing, but when you are in a place you don't know and barley know why (scratch that, she didn't know why at all) any friendly approach is more than quite welcomed.
It was a pity Bailee's question wasn't one Selia could answer. She was able to talk smoothly about whatever pet disease anyone could came up with and knew the most quick way to go in prison and to get out of it as well (well, she knew the ones for her home, here they could be very well useless), but she hadn't the least idea of the circumstances of her coming in this place. Pretty ironic, really, and pretty pathetic too.
"Selia" starting with her name, she answered the girl's question with a sober expression that bordered on the irritated for the unsettling situation. "I've no idea of the hows and wheres as well. I was... well, I was out for a walk when I saw... something and when I went after it to check what it was, I simply wasn't home anymore. I wandered around for a while in the streets of this place, until I spotted many people come here and followed, hoping to find some kind of answer. All I heard is someone talk about a District and a party..."
Her story was bit shaky an had a few holes, but she didn't felt like blurting out her entire life to some stranger, as nice as she could be. Also because she would probably sound as a weirdo...

Bailee listened hopefully as the girl, Selia, began speaking. By the end of it, though a little disappointed at the lack of information, she was more surprised. It hadn’t occurred to her that other people here might not know anything about their own situation as well. However, she was more impressed with the way Selia, though lost, still handled herself with confidence. Sure, she wasn’t bouncing around the dance floor, but neither was she pressed up against a single spot on the wall hoping someone would talk to her. Bailee bit her lip a bit as she felt guilty about the extremely shy way she had been acting, and resolved to try and be more brave when talking to new people and when in new situations.
“Well, I’m sorry your lost too…and thank you for your help.” Bailee smiled, and this time it came out genuine without thought. She shifted so she wasn’t leaning on the wall for support and took a deep breath. Chances were, many of the other people at the party in this…District? Wouldn’t be able to answer her questions as well, so there was no use running from person to person seeking answers that weren’t there.
Like Selia seemed to be doing, she decided to make the best of a confusing situation. “So, I don’t mean to pry, but do you have a plan for what to do since you don’t know how to get home?”

To be honest, she hadn't though too much about her situation before, also because she would have probably went on a worrying fit if she had started to wonder on what to do and what not. She had limited to.. well, go with the flow. It was also true that she had been drawn to that event rather quickly, so it hadn't took much effort to shut up the panicking part of her bairn and go forward, hoping for the best, maybe a solution fallen from the sky.
Which, to say it out loud, was pretty stupid. No solution was going to come if she didn't look for it, proof was the fact that other people had the same unsettling experience as hers like Bailee's presence there showed. She really should start making some plans and they had better be good, even if maybe they wouldn't solve the whole ordeal.
"Well, if there is the two of us with this.. em... problem? Maybe we are not the only ones. This place attracts people seemingly, so maybe we give a check around. We can ask around to get some information. Maybe there even people who can get around places in this weird manner when they want to? If we find one of those, we can sort of... well have him spit the trick and solve all..."
She wasn't so sure about that, but she more saying aloud her ideas than plotting things accurately, so not all made sense. It wasn't like the situation made sense by itself already, however...

By now, Hayai was reading his book intently. Now he had raised the book to his face and people would pass by, seeing the cover, and laugh. He wouldn't even hear them; by now, he was in his own, little world. His shining green eyes followed word after word, divulging deeper into the plot of the story. At the turn of the page, Hayai's expression darkened. The boy rose to his feet ind cried out:
"Why Harold? Why???" It seems as though he was one of the two main characters of the story, and broke up with the other main character Karel, who was now dating the rude fellow, Dean. Though the room fell silent as all eyes were on him.
His face turned red from the utter embarrassment, and looked around. "Umm... uhh......party?" It was as if that word was magical. Everyone went back to doing there own thing, and the music filled the entire district.
"Well this book is volume one, and I finished. I don't need this anymore." Hayai threw the book over his shoulder, he was aiming for the trashcan but it struck someone in the head.
((Anyone who wants to be the one struck, go ahead. Also it seems the romance books Hayai reads are more like Soap Operas.... Gotta change that in the future.))

The idea of banding together with Selia, and perhaps others, gave Bailee a surge of self confidence and excitement. Alone her problems had seemed insurmountable; stranded on another world as she was, when previously she had not even been aware of their existence. The possibility that one of these other party goers might posses some way to move between the worlds seemed right. Though the thought might never have occurred to her had Selia not brought it up. Feeling as though she might have made a new friend, or at least a traveling partner, comforted Bailee. She very much hated to be alone and preferred the security that having another person around meant. Much more relaxed and with excitement showing in every move she made, she nodded to Selia.
“Alright, your idea sounds like a good plan. Where do you think we should start? I mean, what sort of person do you think knows how to travel between worlds?”
She took a quick surveying look around the part of the party she could see.
“Except for some of the people here dressing oddly…or with weird hair, they all seem like ordinary people to me…”

Craze looked at Comm. " I went to Olympus Colosseum to make a security system around a orb called the orb of light". "There I met Ikaine who posed as a seer".Craze then sighed. "We found the room of the orb of light, and he knocked me out".
Craze then let out another sigh. "My dog Rex who is in a hut relaxing somewhere woke me up. Ikaine and I had a battle while I was collecting data on the orb of light to make a man made one. I then knocked him out, and made a man made orb. I assume he tooked real one "Craze said.
Craze then walk around for a bit until he was hit by a book.
Craze then took the book and gave it to Hayai. "I believe this is yours" Craze said.
