What's going on?! [Non-death QUEST]

[nascent]

The disgruntled lynx sighed in exasperation, now utterly convinced that this world was literally out to get him. He was constantly getting tossed around, nothing he did here worked, and the minute he thought he had a grasp on things everything went topsy-turvy... literally, in this case.

And now... now the queer had landed on him! He muttered his discontent loudly before giving the cross-dresser a good shove. Could things get any worse?

As he looked around, though, he realized that the answer was yes. The awkward bear had disappeared, leaving nothing behind but its umbrella. Struggling to his feet, Kassom looked all around but saw no other trace or clue.

"Gah..." He moaned. "This is just... just PEACHY! Now we've lost our guide -- the only person who can send us back where we came from! What next? Elephants raining from the sky? A giant chessboard? GRAH! I really, really hate this place."

He looked at the others while removing his shoes, throwing them heedlessly to one side. "Although I just know I'm going to regret saying this... I think we should split up. Two look for the bear, and the other person come with me... quietly." He turned in the direction that the shadow they'd seen earlier had darted off to. "It's time to hunt some Heartless."

Without another word he took off, hoping against hope he wouldn't be accosted by anymore surreal surprises.

And so Chaosin followed him.

Quietly.

With his hands held behind his back.

Strolling peacefully in his dress.

Without a word to Dante or the clown-looking thing who'd been very quiet this entire time.

Occasionally though, the sound of someone clearing their throat in an obvious way resonated from behind the hairier of the two.

Kassom spun around at the sound of someone clearing their throat... and immediately realized he should've been more specific. His face-palm could be heard throughout the forest.

He took a deep breath and calmed down before turning to look at the weirdo who'd made himself the lynx's sidekick. "Ok, square with me here. What exactly is your fascination with me?! And before you answer that, pal, understand that I don't 'swing that way', okay?"

Inside the lynx's head, a silent dialogue was going on between demon and vassal about the bizarre man. Kassom wanted nothing to do with him whatsoever... but Ilaelis made the point that the odd fellow seemed to understand this crazy messed-up world decently well. He could, if nothing else, be useful... thus why Kassom didn't outright refuse to let him tag along. Ilaelis was, after all, his boss...

Chaosin smiled brightly at the lynx's demand, like someone had just made his day. He then brought a hand to his mouth, coughed once to clear out any irritation caused by his over-the-top throat clearing(How ironic), and the took a deep breath.

"If YOU even come close to touching me I will cut you."

That was all he said. He then kept looking at the man/animal(thing) unexpectedly. Like a child waiting for a present.

A groan issued from the lynx's throat, accompanied by a roll of his eyes. Just what WAS this weirdo, some kind of gleeful masochist!? This entire misadventure was rapidly becoming a burden on his sanity... a strange truth to accept for someone who had a demon living inside his blood.

"You WANT me to..." He sighed in resignation. "Fine, whatever. I'll beat you up as much as you want -- AFTER we secure a way out of here. Deal?"

[Heroic Bilby]

"Onward, TO GLORY!" the Nobody declared, pointing dramatically toward the direction the shadow had gone before. He would attempt to do so after turning the lynx around and then putting his other arm around him as if they were long-time adventuring buddies, but whether or not he would actually be allowed to get that far with it was up in the air.
