What do you think of Electro Swing?

With Cherry going for yet another pound, the Murkrow had flown at her, beak at the ready. With the two strikes colliding, it was clear that they were in pain, but the Murkrow had the advantage as the second had flown swiftly towards Cherry. As the Buneary was recovering from its attack, it tried to escape from pursuit of the Murkow, only for the bird to keep up and ram into Cherry. With the dark aura that surrounded the Murkrow discharging against the Buneary, Cherry was knocked away and clearly in pain as the two Murkrow flocked towards each other, making clearly mocking "cawing" noises towards them. "Darn cheating hecklers." Jacklyn grit her teeth as she grumbled at their two on one tactics, only to then have another idea pop into her head. As Cherry stood up, clearly beaten up and struggling to keep herself in the fight, Jacklyn shouted, "come over Cherry! Jump to me!" The Buneary cocked its head to the side, but seemed to be trusting in her partner, leaping towards Jacklyn. Seeing the Buneary trying to escape, one of the Murkrows charged up a dark aura of energy around it as it went to keep pursuit against Cherry. With a smile on her face, Jacklyn caught Cherry but seemed to only hold on with one hand as she reeled her arm back. "Alright Cherry, use Pound!" Like a baseball, Jacklyn pitched Cherry forward, feet first towards the charging Murkrow. Cherry, realizing this was an all too familiar feeling, stuck her feet out catching the surprised Murkrow off guard and striking it in the chest. The strike seemed to keep the bird going, only to strike into the wall and knock it out. With Cherry landing to the ground, she simply let out a victorious, "buuuu," leaving the other Murkrow confused but still diving after the Buneary to avenge his fallen bird comrade.

Something like that. Jr. Troopa is pretty dope. I dunno, Bug/Dragon? I like bugs. I like dragons. I'd like a combination of both of them. Probably physical attacker, moderate speed and physical bulk with poor special and special bulk? I dunno.

In spite of the agony that her ears were going through, having not covered her ears to give away her own plan, Yuuka had smiled at the success of their plan. The car, which she certainly was not expecting, was certainly a good finisher against the man though, perhaps a tad excessive. Or it would have been, had the man not been able to still pick himself up from the impact. As he seemed angry with them, she presumed at least as both he and everything else around him for that matter, sounded very muffled, Yuuka couldn't help but get more excited. This was a real villain for sure! And she was in no better place to see how her fellow students, and she supposed herself, would do against such a cad. As the man charged forward to attack, Hibiki had jumped out of the way only to go in for yet another attack. Seeing the girl bare her fangs against the man, Yuuka had decided to give the bat girl an assist, rushing forward herself. Knowing her tactics and actual capabilities in this situation were fairly limited, Yuuka reached out with both of her hands. With poison coating both of her palms, the girl attempted to grab at one of the man's arms, both to inflict her own poison into them and keep the man at bay from continuing to punch a bat.

Alois looked flabbergasted as the princess told him to keep moving on. Were it so easy, he was pretty sure that he would've been able to do that easily. However, there was a beaver attacking him, and so it was not actually easy. In fact, one would even say that having a giant over sized river rat with giant teeth trying to gnaw out one's leg or the rope they were holding onto would make it quite difficult. As he was about to shout back at the princess, he looked back to the rodent. "Shiro? Beaver?" The boy looked confused as the two had apparently just disappeared from his field of view. "Well, okay..." Looking back to the girl he shouted, "fine! But put the book away. Last thing we need is you down stream and down one book." With that the boy began to make his way across the river yet again, only to now see Gunther was...talking to the beavers. "Of course he is." Alois continued his journey across the river, simply mumbling to himself. Tsetseg had been successful in her prowl, having made her way to circle around and get a flank on a beaver. Looking at them, the Locrisian hunter had turned her attention to the one that had been getting ready to strike at the Pontic boy. Seeing it begin its run up, Tsetseg began to crouch before leaping forward, trying to tackle the beaver in the middle of its charge.

As Layne had made his comment about bandits, Leon turned back saying, "there's generally a lot of gangs around this area." Pulling out a map of Aeora, he pointed to where they were, the South-western part of Aeora saying, "this is where we are right now, and," he pointed northward towards Faeus and then south eastward towards Enta. "These are the two most major centers of power. We're in a bit of a political void around these areas and they aren't nearly as supervised, so crime tends to happen a lot more. So, we should probably keep our wits about us. " The boy then turned back, seeming to still look around with a bit of concern on his face. "Wonderful," was all that could be heard from Edda, at the comment. Eventually, the group had kept moving through the road, until Rona had been able to see what looked like a scene of a crime. What appeared to be the remnants of an attacked caravan, carts and the manner either on their side, abandoned, broken or some combination of the three. While the wyvern riders seemed to have her doubts about the scene, wanting to steer clear of it, the commander pondered it for a moment. As dangerous as this area of Aeora was, the roads were still the safest part to travel on, and if there was someone in trouble, the boy didn't want to risk of the chance of aiding them. Turning to the rest of the Falcons, Leon said, "alright, there's a sign that some kind of struggle took place up ahead. Keep your wits about you since we don't know where their attackers might have gone." With that, Leon lead the group up the road, walking cautiously towards the caravan. As they got close, though, they would be able to hear very obvious sounds of things moving around in the broken carriages. Bursting out from the covers, bandits seemed to pour out of the wooden vehicles, all sneering and at the ready to attack. Behind the furthest carriage, one bandit turned to another saying, "look boss! We did it! Your trap worked like a charm." The boss, as it were, let out a sigh as he saw the group get close. "You dolt. I told you to jump out when they got in the center of our trap. Does that," he motioned over to them, "look like the center?" Before the lesser bandit could respond, the boss looked at the group again. "Wait...why is there a wyver- why is there a salam- is that three Jourans?" "Isn't that great boss. The posters only talked about one. This is like, triple the pay, right?" "No! This is the worst!" The bandit boss started to seem to go into some form of crisis, muttering to himself about only ever wanting to remain a petty thug and on the lower end of banditry hierarchy. "Ah whatever, they're already here and we're bandits so...let's kill 'em men!" With a resounding shout, the rest of the bandits cheered as they seemed ready to battle. Leon, thoroughly confused, looked at the bandits then back to the Falcons as he said, "um, prepare for combat?" Shaking off the oddity of the situation, Leon said, "our job now is to clear the road of these bandits." As he said this, Leon looked back to Edda, who seemed to be far more primed to fight the bandits than she did awkward. Handing off an iron sword to the girl, saying, "here, use this to defend yourself with." Edda seemed confused by the gesture, but took the blade all the same. "Alright, let's move out Falcons."

The chosen of Earth had mulled over the problems that seemed to be plaguing the area. The first of the issues seemed to be more monster related and while Ryia was not knowledgeable on the type of monsters involved she was definitely already feeling more comfortable with the idea of dealing with this then she had been bandits or the sun. The second problem, however, was far more unexplored territory. Obviously there was something very strange about a lake with a permanent mist field around it. Her mind could race between it being some weird freak weather, to ghosts, to of course a Demon Gate. The girl was neither sure of how long the town around it was founded nor did she know how long the demon gates around. However she was aware that it probably something dangerous that needed their attention all the same. The girl simply shuddered at the thought of having to fight in water though and was not at all keen to actually explore it. All the same, as the others before her had, Ryia bowed and thanked the knights for their aid before nidding to Pyrrahs question. Thus, the group began to walk down the road to their next destination. Ryia was more focused on her surroundings than she was the others, simply on the lookout for if any kind of monster was skulking about.

Nine smiled, only to have his own expression grow more somber as Gwen's tone did. As the two simply sat there in silence by the fire, Nine perked up at the woman's question. "Destiny huh?" The young Houndoom placed his hands onto the ground, as he threw his head back and looked to the sky above. After thinking on it for a moment, without looking back to the woman, the chaser said, "not really no. We're all individuals and all making choices, and I can't possibly think that everything I've ever wanted to or ever will do was preordained. Not even the gods themselves seem like they're that rigid in following a set plan." Leaning back forward, he looked back to the girl asking, "so, what about you?" "Aaaaaaaah!" Marie shouted out as yet another giant glob of lava was shot at her. This one, she didn't have the benefit of being lobbed out of the way by Randy. She did, however, have the benefit of a Pikachu that was quite the surfer. As a wave was conjured up, it collided with the lava plume, the water destroying the plume. The wave as well, had managed to take the girl in its current as well, though Marie found herself having a much easier time moving through the large wave of water than she likely would have the hot stone of the volcano flooring. Riding the wave alongside Keanu, the girl managed to evade the stomping shockwaves of the Heatran, striking back with a water gun of her own.

Going full meme status I'd probably just be a generic looking, common enemy. One you find lots of palette swaps of all with the same, yet still somehow slightly annoying, gimmick. Naturally I'd have a very boring, generic sounding random encounter music. Now, one a more serious note Probably would be some kind of recurring mini-boss of some kind. Still human in nature, or at least a mirror to whatever race the most common one is if not human. Probably in some kind of action RPG game. If it's a game with magic and elements and differing weapon types and styles then I'd probably start off using none of anything in my first encounter. Then as time goes on and you fight me more and more times, I basically get more and more options to do until I basically have all of them. Either that, or I basically just mimic whatever ability the player has. As for music, I dunno, I've always been into jazzy battle themes. Probably something mellow and slow in the first encounter, but gets progressively faster and with more instruments being added in on subsequent encounters.

The girl looked at the beanie her captain was wearing as he pointed it out, only now seeming to actually read and notice what was on it. Given how Masked Chopper was pretty much an honorary toon monster, given how frequently appeared alongside her captain, the choice in teams seemed obvious in hindsight. Though, that would only be if Jun knew they existed, and in spite of her goal of making it pro she knew shockingly little about the scene and teams themselves. All the same, at Hitomu's comment she said, "well at least for your first year. After that, I'll be on my own team and then well," the girl thought for a moment as she kept walking. "Oh, I know! I'll still root for you. That way, when I enter the scene and beat you I'll get even more famous," the girl giggled to herself as she said this. Looking back to him she said, "joking aside, sounds like you got a fun job lined up after you're done here Captain."

Dragging her friend along, Stella continued to listen to Kelsey as she recounted her adventures in space and combat. The girl had a brief smile on her face, though due to being ahead of her Kelsey wouldn't see it, though this didn't last long. As the girl's brief smile faded, she then looked shocked at Kelsey recounted how she almost blew up another student. Looking back to her, a stern expression on her face, the girl chided, "Kellz, what have I told you about paying attention. Especially when it comes to friendly fire." Stella had hoped some of her habits from gaming wouldn't translate over to actual mech combat, but such things seemed to die hard. Shaking her finger she said, "and you almost fell off the ship too. Honestly," putting her hand down and letting out a sigh, Stella kept walking ahead. After a few moments had passed, more subdued the girl, "but...glad things worked out for you out there."

The girl saw the faces drop of those around her as she made her comment, much to the bored looking girl's amusement. Before she could say anything else, though, the witch then boldly made her way up to Ross. The young demon hunter wasn't sure what to expect from her, but her shoving her fingers in her face and prying open her lips certainly wasn't it. Stunned by the suddenness of it, Ross gave her a weird look and then to everyone else, only to then seem even more confused as the girl mentioned her eyes. It wasn't as though her eyes weren't strange, it was just a bit strange hearing it from the clear picture of normalcy that Morgan looked to be. Looking at her, Ross just asked, "having fun there," to Morgan. After that was done, it seemed that the group had, more or less decided to go see a movie now. Looking at the lion elf, she said, "sorry, majority votes movie. Besides, I'm too young to drink anyway. Oh," as almost an after thought she said, "I'm not a vampire. I just lived under a lot of dirt and rocks for awhile." Her tone, quite like before, did not seem to change in the slightest nor did her expression. Looking to Morgan and Aurora she said, "so, what kind of movies are you guys in the mood for. I'm down for something with action." As she began making her way for the door of the room she said, "oh. Right. One of you should probably lead the way. New in town, and all." Xia looked confused at the trio of others. She didn't quite get what they were trying to say, and voiced this aloud, asking, "what do you mean by a, uh, 'other universe'?" "It's such a pain to explain..." Valerie said. "But I guess I should start with...I used to fight in the Arena, just like you, but I...wasn't the first. Before me there was this...other Valerie. She was like me, I guess, but different. More flames, that weird spear thing, and not nearly as cool." She gave a brief smirk at this part. The dragon girl only seemed to grow more concerned by this explanation, sort of grasping that there was somehow two Valeries. "She's also a lot meaner." The Valerie in front of her right now was a friendly and fun person, so if they were the same Xia didn't know why she would do something so awful. "Yeah, well...that leads into the next part. She was the most popular fighter in the Arena. She won most of her matches and was, well, like me so you know. People loved her." She frowned. "No one knows what exactly happened but she eventually got enough points to take on that big event, you know the one I mean?" Xia thought on it for a moment before her eyes brightened up saying, "oh, the one with the dragons right?" Valerie snapped her fingers. "Exactly. So she took on that event and...something happened. She got hurt. Couldn't fight. But Mauvache didn't want people to know, since she was so popular, so...she brought me here. Eventually something....broke in the other Valerie and." She gestured out the window. "That." Xia's face looked downtrodden, as her thoughts went to what the other Valerie had to have been, and what she was now. "That's...awful...Oh," she then looked back to Valerie saying, "not that you were brought here. You're super awesome Valerie, but..." She then stared at the window in concern. "Yeah, it kinda sucked. Didn't help that I'm not exactly the same as she is. So things kinda got awkward. It wasn't long after that people started to quit." Xia looked confused by this and simply asked, "well, why did you quit, Valerie?" She shrugged. "Lot of others had already. Plus I didn't really like keeping up the act that I was someone else....Even if that someone else was me." Xia still seemed troubled by the whole thing, but eventually said, "so...she can't just...we have to make sure she doesn't do this again. Right?"

Yuuka clapped at the masterful display of teamwork that she had seen her fellow students display. Between the pure strength of Herc, the showmanship of Taro and the fangs of Hibiki, it was short work to get rid of the garden variety street thugs. While the girl was feeling upbeat about the whole thing, Ms. Hitotsume had chastised bother her and Itsuki. While Yuuka was far less interested in how she herself would deal with these thugs, seeing the swift kick that their teacher had given that them, Yuuka had figured that it would be prudent to at least build up her experience right now. Thankfully, there was yet another set of people to gain said experience from. Though Yuuka had just resolved to fight herself, this thought was briefly derailed as she saw their teacher go into her hero costume, and eye appearing on their stomach as well. Yuuka let out an "oooh," as she did this, getting ready to fight. The girl was curious to see what "Demon Eyes" was all about, and watched their fight readily though had her attention drawn back as the other man seemed to goad them to battle. Itsuki seemed to want to be the first to get punched himself as he counter goaded the man, a bold choice indeed. She had an idea of what he was going for here, and was curious to see how it would play out for the boy, though he didn't seem to get the chance to try. Herc seemed to want to test the waters himself and stepping past Itsuki went to throw the first punch. Yuuka let out yet another, "oooh" as the man swiftly seemed to redirect the beetle man's fist and went for a punch himself. As the beetle man was launched by the punch, Yuuka merely muttered, "I see, I see." Were she Bruce Lee herself, she would be sure that her quirk would be fantastic against this man. She was however, sadly, decidedly not Bruce Lee - nor anywhere close to that level of martial arts prowess. She did, however, think there was something she could do here. And so, holding her hands behind her back, the girl started to form a small sphere of poison in her hand. Looking to Hibiki, she said, "oh, Hibiki, could you do that thing that you do super well?" After asking that, Yuuka lobbed the poison towards the man, the sphere exploding into a cloud around him. Though he wouldn't feel anything more than a light stinging sensation, the longer he stayed in the cloud, the more he would feel fatigue start to set in as well as the stinging sensation increase. So, she was hoping that Hibiki would be able to stagger him inside of it with her "super scream" of sorts. Yuuka only hoped that that was the only thing that Hibiki did super well, and that she did not have some latent talent at juggling or something.

Jun listened to Hitomu's story as he tried to chastise her about responsibility and all that. Of course, while Jun would've probably ignored his story, she was actually left more confused then anything else by the end of it. Making her way out of the door of his room, the girl said, "right right Captain, I'll do my best to not end up like you." Her tone, naturally, conveyed a very disinterest in it. However she smiled as she jokingly said, "I suppose I can keep my uniform in my room then." As the two walked to the meeting place, Jun complained aloud. "Man, we should really have some kind of staff bring these boxes to the gym instead, it is their property after all." Realizing something the girl said, "oh, I heard you also got accepted to a pro team. Are they a cool one? They got a cool uniform? Think they'll make you carry all of them around too?"

While Ivan seemed keen to let sleeping dogs lie, Jacklyn seemed to stay on guard. She slowed down her pace as well, keeping her guard up as the duo ascended the staircase to the top of the lighthouse. It didn't take long, however, for the circling birds to stop and, true to the girl's beliefs, heckle them. Shouting, "I knew it!" as the Murkrow flew straight towards her. Sending out her Buneary, the girl shouted, "alright Cherry, heckle them back!" Cherry was confused by the suddenness of this, but sprung to action quickly as she literally sprung to action. Leaping forward, the Buneary met with the Murkrow in mid air, exchanging a pound for a peck as the two collided. While Cherry managed to knock the Murkrow away, the Buneary was then caught off guard as the third Murkrow flew forward, striking Cherry in the side and knocking her down. Hitting the ground, the Buneary rolled before pushing her ears against the ground, launching her back into the air and back onto her feet. Both Cherry and Jacklyn seemed fired up, though the latter shouted, "hey, that's cheating! Alright Cherry, let's show these cheaters what for!" Letting out an enthusiastic, "bu!" in response, Cherry leaped forward to pound at one of them again.

Marie was, quite frankly, baffled at the conclusion that Randy had come. She didn't really think fighting the man atop a volcano while it was about to erupt was going to stop the volcano from erupting. If anything, it was just going to make it erupt faster. However, she had come into it for the long hall, and so if they were going to die from magma, might as well be as a group. Once they reached the top, Marie seemed to be equally baffled, once again, as it had appeared that Randy's conclusion had been the correct one. Stunned by this, the girl just stood there as the fight began, only to get her senses back as Randy had pulled her out of the way the attack. As the two had gotten into a bit of a scuffle, the outcome of how this match was going to begin with was pretty clear. Marie was, however, sure that she couldn't get Randy out of this fight this early. She also couldn't really tell him to stop when stopping was going to end up blowing up the whole town. So, instead Marie had turned to Keanu, who was with them now which briefly took her a moment to realize before saying, "we gotta go help him." As Heatran had let loose a flamethrower, Marie herself took in a deep breath and fired off a jet of water towards the legend. Nine simply chuckled as Lok had made his comment about tricksters, clearly offended by what he had said. All the same, the boy's attention turned to Gwen, who had seemed to have her reservations in trusting legends. Given the two's experiences, Nine was sure that they had met a total of eight legends - a fact that briefly made the Houndoom stop as he realized the absurdity of that - over the course of this past month. And of them all, he could only really think of one of them as unrepentant. There was also one other outlier, but as Nine thought of them all he said, "well, the lot of them certainly seem like just people." His tone didn't seem to be comforting nor even really directed at Gwen, more so just thinking aloud. Eventually, the group had stopped for the "night" - according to Gwen at least - and the Houndoom couldn't help but smile as the girl made her pattened style of humor in telling him to light a fire. With his kindling before, a few sparks left Nine's hand before he tapped it and set the kindling ablaze. "There you are madam," with a small mock "tada" gesture, Nine sat down with the rest of the group. Seeing that Kayla had left, he felt the urge to go talk to her, but didn't as Lok floated over. Instead, sliding closer to Gwen he said, "seems like the Chaser business follows us wherever we go." Nine's expression seem lighthearted as he said this, continuing with, "but, how was it to be home?"

With the destination decided, the group had gone on their none too enjoyable but necessary trip via teleportation. When next she opened her eyes after the experience, Ryia looked around to see that, they indeed had ended up in some place entirely different. Though they had already done this several times, Ryia was sure that opening her eyes and being somewhere new was never something she was going to get use to. All the same, the group was now at a bridge and surrounded by much more welcoming scenery then just an endless expanse of sand all around them. They were also welcomed by a few new friendly faces. The girl was, naturally, a bit on guard as the knights came to greet them, given what had happened last time. This was quickly assuaged, both by their knowledge of who they were and the antics between them, leaving the girl more confused then anything else. All the same, she managed to regain part of her composure and do a hasty bow, saying, "um, thank you...Sir...Perior." Reinaan then walked up and asked them about where the next town was, the girl seeing that he had the same kind of awkward feeling about them that she had. Looking to the knights as well, the girl asked as well, "um, yes. Would you uh, know about any...strange? Things, going on."

Jun had been making her way to the duel team's meeting spot when she had gotten a text from her captain. The girl wasn't exactly surprised by the contents of the message, though raised her eyebrow as she saw the last part of it. All the same, the girl sighed as she quickly pivoted to change directions from the arena to the dorms. She didn't really want to carry a bunch of stuff, but she was unfortunately strapped with the duty of duel team pack mule, surrogate captain and...well, there was probably some other third thing. All the same, the girl sent a text back. From: Jun To: CapToon sure im on my way True to her word, Hitomu would, after not too much waiting hear Jun's presence be announced. Without knocking on the door, the girl simply barged in and with a long exaggerated wave she shouted out, "heyyyyyoooo Captain!" Walking inside, the girl looked around to see the set of boxes that needed to be carried. Looking to her Captain, whom she had seen was in his full duel team attire - she herself in her regular clothing with an official Blue Yonder pin on her hat as the only thing to show her team spirit - the girl's eyes then darted around the room. Looking back to him, the girl asked, "soooo, who's this mystery helper of yours?"'

Ross was, at least glad to hear, that there was something that sounded like a city beyond these walls based on what Aurora had been telling her. Of course, it didn't really help her figure out exactly what it was that she wanted to do at the moment, but her train of thought was disrupted as the witch had walked up to her. Ross was fairly certain that, at least in regards to Morgan, she wasn't going to forget that her job was to fight any time soon. The girl did say something interesting in that the city probably had something for everyone and everything. It was like Space New York. After Morgan told Ross to just say what she wanted to do, with some bragging involved as well, Ross said in a flat tone, "well, I did need to get some blood to drink." Her expression didn't seem to change in the slightest as she said this and looked at Morgan, only to then say, "but I haven't actually seen a movie in a long time. Think they're showing we'd know of here?" While Xia had managed to direct everyone out of the arena, her attention was soon snapped towards the figure and the new girl fighting each other. As they were forced to the ground, Xia saw the figure looming over her and felt something inside of herself. Something she hadn't felt in quite a very long time. A feral beating in her chest, an instinctual urge that was overcoming her. As the figure had caused so much destruction, poised to murder someone else here - in her home, Xia felt a rage take over. Clenching her fist, the girl crouched down before rocketing herself towards the cloaked figure. Leaping towards them, Xia punched at them as she passed them by, the figure thought easily managed to jump out of the way. Landing on the ground and skidding to a halt, Xia kept her eyes deadlocked on the figure as she asked the girl on the ground, "are you alright?" The girl stood back up, and without responding to her question asked, "is everyone else safe?" Xia merely nodded as the figure seemed to go on the offensive again. Creating more flames, the figure shot them towards the two of them which Xia merely barreled through. As she made her way through the flames they were hot, definitely much hotter than she was expecting, but her tenacity kept her going and she simply kept charging through the flames, sweeping them away as she went for another punch. As she did though, the figure was longer there, and was simply falling from the sky, spear at the ready to brought down onto Xia. Seeing the spear come towards her, Xia had had a similar experience to this before, and simply reached up and grabbed the spear with both of her hands before the figure's dive had completed. The spear was uncomfortably hot to the touch, but the girl kept her grip on it while the figure did not. Letting go and moving to the side, the figure seemed ready to let loose yet another blast, only to have to dodge out of the way of another energy blast. Seeing Cam join the fight, Xia kept the spear in one hand as she shouted at the figure, "leave this place alone!" The figure didn't say anything, the spear vanishing from Xia's grip and into the figure's as they dragged the tip of the spear against the ground. A wall of fire appeared along the line they traced, forcing the other two combatants to stop their advance towards them. As the wall of flame died down, the figure seemed to be leaving through a window, their hood falling a bit as they did. While Xia was primed to chase, she stopped in her tracks as she caught a glimpse of the face of the figure they had been fighting. Confused more than anything else, Xia merely spoke the name aloud. "Valerie?"

With the talks having been ended, both Edda and Leon looked to Yue with surprise as she made her comment. Both, because they hadn't known she was there until now, though Leon more so because she was speaking up and Edda more so because the entire past 5 minutes had been nothing but confusion for the girl. After letting go of Rona's hand, Edda merely stared at Yue, unsure of what to make of this girl at all, but also seeming even more awkward than before. Leon himself looked to Yue, trying to think of the right course of action. As it was, Yue didn't seem to trust Edda in the slightest. Rona seemed to be wary but willing to work with her. And Layne was the one who had brought up working with her in the first place. With that in mind, it had seemed that the girl was outvoted. And, with past experience guiding him here, the boy felt more inclined to help out the lost and injured Jouran girl. "I understand, but as it is, if she's really just a lost traveler, then it's our job to help her out." Looking back to Edda he said, "we'll be sure to keep you under constant vigil to make sure you don't do anything wrong though. And I can't speak for what will happen if you really are more than just a traveler. Understood?" Her awkward look seeming to get more annoyed as she was being pressed, Edda merely let out a, "got it." Chapter 5 - Poet Date: 24th of Aeis, Year 967, Fall Time: 2:04 PM Location: En Route to Enta, Southwestern Aeora "Our task is simple. We are to escort Edda to the Port Town of Enta. It'll be a long trip, so get ready for more walking than normal." With that brief description the group had moved out at the beginning of the morning. The group had started to make their way through the country side, simply sticking to the road with little barring their path. Despite this, though, Leon still seemed a bit nervous as he seemed to be keeping constant vigil on the road. Edda, however, seemed to be very uncomfortable traveling with a large group of unfamiliar people, and simply kept her head facing down to the road as she walked alongside everyone else.

Alois had never thought this would be how it ended. Fighting on a rope, over a river, with a giant frog aiding him in fighting against a beaver. Being as close as he was to it, Alois had never felt so validated in thinking that his home really did suck. Of course, he was still safe on the rope and was glad that the beaver was no longer trying to kill him, specifically at least. But he wasn't exactly keen on the razor biting rodent to be within a mile of their rope, and still kept kicking at it all the same. His attention, however, was momentarily diverted as he felt a new weight tug down on the rope. "Wait- what - what are you doing?" Alois shouted towards Penelope, baffled both by her trying to cross at this very moment and also that she had an open tome in hand. There were several scenarios going through Alois's hand as to what she expected to do with that, with probably the best case being her wanting to whack any beaver that got close with all the weight her twig arms could muster. All the same, trying to gesture for her to go back Alois shouted, "rope is kind of at maximum occupancy at the moment." Tsetseg, however, was having quite the rough time figuring out what to do. The easiest shots to take were the beavers across the river with Gunther, but she both felt inclined to shoot them and let them be at the same time, seeing the large man talk to them. Her other options were not too great, either, as everyone seemed to be quite clustered together in dealing with river faring creatures. The young huntress furrowed her brow, and seemed startled as she heard the horse start to go wild and even more so when she started to hear a metallic clang out of nowhere. Seeing the green man walk forward banging at them, Tsetseg figured she'd assist there by getting onto all fours and slowly making her way across the ground. Going around him, the girl tried to slowly and quitely flank the beavers, and if any of them had made a move towards anyone else in their group, was ready to leap and pounce at them.

As Kelsey raised her hand for a high five, Stella met in kind, and didn't seem to pay any mind as she joined hands with the girl. Stella then felt a bit awkward about how she raved about how amazing the feeling of fighting outside was, obviously not able to share in her enthusiasm but just managed to say a, "well, you definitely looked great out there." As Kelsey turned towards the others, Stella didn't really say much, but leaned back in towards her friend as she whispered towards her. Shrugging, she whispered back, "don't know. His name's Arnold." Standing back more straight, the girl then looked to the rest of the pilots. As one of them spoke up, taking a bit to parse what she had actually said, Stella looked back to Kelsey. "Force shield?" As the older woman had also come to repair the mechs as well, Stella began to walk away saying, "yeah, we should probably leave n- " she stopped abruptly, however, as she had inadvertently tugged Kelsey's arm along with her. Looking down, seeing the two interlocked hands, the girl's face briefly went flush as she tried to figure out how long they had actually been stuck like that...in front of everyone. Darting her eyes away from her friend, Stella continued to try and drag her along, unable to actually free her now squirming hand. "So um," the girl started, "how uh...how was it out there?"

Well, I probably wouldn't be interested in either running or joining a One Piece RP given that of the 876 episodes I haven't watched any over the past decade. So, my knowledge and care of the universe of One Piece is pretty low, and no matter how "required" prior knowledge is, it's always a factor in joining those kind of RPs. That being said, the idea of an Open Seas campaign where you hunt a mythical treasure, or do piratey things with a supernatural flair to it isn't that bad of one. It's not something I'd really be interested in running myself, and if you wanted to make it open world with a consistent government and organizations across the whole sea it would probably take a lot of effort. But it still sounds like it could be fun.

Ryia followed Keres outside, before having her brief lesson on what it was she should expect from the other islands. Thinking on it, the girl thought that either of them sounded fine as a next destination to head out to. She wasn't really sure what the difference between the two islands were though, but thankfully their new chosen had come in to help make the decision easier. Where there was lots of fishing to do, there was lots of water. And for no better apt comparison, Ryia knew that in large quantities of water, she would sink like a rock. Shuddering at the thought of having to do any manner of fighting underwater, Ryia simply muttered, "farms sound much better." Looking to Pyrrha and Keres, she asked, "so, should we, um, pick Qresa to go to next then?"
