t's a dark night, and the sounds of feet in the darkness are further dampened and hidden by even more magic, as they are lured away by the soft sounds of dreams that are too good to be true, leaving the Town much, much emptier than when it began.I'm not leaving you Damian. We'll search together.
[ spoken in firmness, her brows furrowed down the same in an even line. he didn't really think he'd get off that easy, did he? ]

I would hope you would, or I would be very let down! ...And eaten. [ aha. ] I never stopped believing that rescue would come though.
[ she was trapped in isolation and dire circumstances for much longer than a few sunrises and sunsets. and everyone would have to eventually realize something was odd about the mass disappearances. a mix of logic and faith. ]
Actually, you do all seem rather worn out for a group that wasn't dragged across the ocean by beasts. Did something happen in the town during the kidnapping?

Am I? ...Truth be told, I've never done this before. I did once have a friend who used a spear as her weapon of choice. I was just emulating her.
[ mipha had so much more strength than anyone ever credited her for. she tried to channel some of that. ]
Are you alright by the by? The sirens didn't rough you too badly in the kidnapping I hope.

No? [ interesting... ] Are you willing to give more details to a curious mind?
[She gives a little half-smile at that.]
Oh yes, we'll give them a firm talking-to. Honestly, the nerve of them all.

I don't think it was foolish. Usually when you're drawn into a situation like this by outside forces, you tend to be provided with something.
But who knows? It might be that this was the only power whatever brought us here had. Or it might just be that we're being tested.

[Maribelle wipes some sweat off of her forehead. Using magic takes a toll on her, but she's trying not to show it.]
Wait, before we do, are you hurt anywhere? I can heal you if need be.

[... Aw, Lupin. Minato's right there with you.]
Yeah... I don't know what rhyme or reason they used to pick who to take, but... somehow, people have definitely been kidnapped or something. I don't think the people who are missing would have left without saying anything.
[...]
We'll find them. I feel better knowing that you're here still too.

Finicky, huh.
[ that's a funny term. but he does as they ask, and then giorno crouches before him. ]
Whenever you're ready. [ and that's when -
a second figure appears beside giorno, settling beside him in the same pose that he's making, crouched before cairn as well. ] It'll look awkward, I guess. If you're married, now's a good time to inform them I'm taking you home.
[ he's kidding, of course. but with cairn's permission he'll take them into his arms and lift them home, like a child. and his stand will help make sure that they're not too heavy for him to lift by helping as well. ]

[ it's a slow process but it doesn't take long. in the space of a few minutes her skin is good as new again, and giorno touches his handiwork with light fingers to make sure that it's fully healed. ]
Ah, that looks good.
You can look now. [ giorno's eyes quietly scan the rest of her for any other injuries that may seem threatening. ]

Whoa, so you've been here a bit longer than me.
[Not by much more than him, but it's a pretty good indication how long they've all been away from their homeworlds for.
He kicks a rock and moves some dead pieces of wood, collecting what he can in his arms.]
Hmm. You think it's some sort of pattern? I'm glad we got patrols set up.

[ he's keeping an eye on people who need some healing, and others who are vulnerable to the call of the sea again. giorno frowns as he approaches him, thinking he might be one of the latter; he's got his hands shoved into his pockets as he approaches him. ]
Are you alright? [ a pause. ] You're not planning to go back to them, aren't you? Because if you are, I'll have to knock you out right now. And I'd like a better first meeting than that.

[The grabbing hands and unfamiliar face has Sora staring at the other with wide-eyed confusion.]
Who are you...? What are you talking about? They'd never hurt me.
[For the moment Michael has Sora's attention but he's still got that lifeless look in his eyes like he's really tired.]

[Oh. That's a little less serious then.]
So awhile now. [That was back... during their second month? It blends together a bit, especially without any real calendars or schedules to follow.]
You guys were friends before you got here?

Mm. [He nods. He does feel a little better now. He'll go meet with his friends later, and try to put on a smile and a brave face. It'll be a little easier than before, he's pretty sure.
And that's really what he's thinking Guren for, more than the vials.]
...You really do think of us as family, don't you?

I started in Flavo, from my house, and my neighbors.
[Akira starts a bit, because while the words are considerably more gentle this time around, isn't that what Arsene said to him the first time? Do you regret it?
And at that, Akira can't help but smile a bit, just an upturn of his lips. They really are the same, and maybe he's right, both times: it might have led to a bad outcome, but it was still actions he took to help others. Even if bad things happened, isn't it better to try at all?]
...Yeah. Maybe I'm just thinking about it too hard.
[He's been doing a lot of that these days. He should really go back to trusting his instincts; they've helped him get this far.
Still...] But I should be more careful... I think I'm going to give Akechi a heart attack.

Well...
[ She trails off uncertainly, since she's not completely sure about that. This is much more survivalism than she's really used to. A near-empty town was difficult, but it had supplies, if nothing else. It wasn't easy, but with everyone's hard work, it was comfortable enough. Here, though? She's a bit at a loss, so she shrugs. ]
I'd be lying if I said it was easy. But I'm not really any worse for wear.
[ Which is good enough... ]
...If I can ask, how did you get captured? Did you happen to hear something drawing you in, by any chance?

[It is definitely mourn-able. But Keith is definitely planning on improvising something so yeah, let's go find sticks.
And other things.
Keith takes the offered hand and stands.]
Yeah, sounds good to me. Let's see what we can find out. Better to not wander alone anyway.
