(OPEN TO ANYONE!) Good Lord!

[Aya Dauzi Invargas]

Ayalan folded his arms at the complaint, as he spoke up, "Would you trust me much the same if I were a stranger in your home, with no real explanation of how I got there?"

Then he looked back and grinned, whistling lightly. "I suppose you've got an extraordinary idea of magic than a lot of people here..it's almost a form of alchemy you got going.."

He was legitimately jealous for a moment, to be able to materialize an outfit like that, must have taken skill and practice, at least in this world.

"Well, tell me about the person you're looking for, and I'll think of the best place on our planet based on her personality or usual tropes."

[Kaku Rokkakyu]

"I suppose not." Kaku answered. "My apologies." He looked rather pleased with himself as Ayalan admired his ability to change an outfit like that. "It does indeed take practice, education, and hard work." He answered. "I've studied magic my entire life. I should hope my efforts would pay off eventually."

Back on the topic, he was about to answer Ayalan when an unknown figure acrobatted in front of them both. Kaku jumped back at the unexpected introduction. "Good Lord!" He exclaimed, his ears going back in surprize. "That was a most unexpected entrance!"

[Aya Dauzi Invargas]

Ayalan opened his eyes and turned around, his brass knuckles extended out but not punching or anything, as he saw and heard the man's opening speech..

"..You want to help us, hm?" He found himself putting his hand on his hip, "Well then, I'm sure Kaku and I won't mind, but we hardly know you besides your name and profession." Ayalan was very untrusting when it came to new people.

However, he then added, "I suppose we'll just have to get to know you during our journey." He smiled and nodded, folding his arms.

[Bang Shishigami]

"Excellent!" I remark at the man's quick acceptance of my assistance, nodding my head in approval of his idea. "I shall prove myself loyal and true to this cause! Be it fighting off bandits or traversing dangerous landscapes, you can always depend on your truly!" I state while striking a dynamic pose.

"So then, Kaku was it?" I begin as i shift my attention to the cat-man. "Where shall our journey be taking us? Through the deadly lava pools of Ignis, or perhaps you require us to scour the glacial plains Ghiaccio? Just point the direction and I, Bang Shishigami, will lead the way!" I announce as I point my finger to the horizon, my mind already wandering with thoughts of what exciting places this new journey shall take me to.

[Kaku Rokkakyu]

Kaku nodded, agreeing with Aya's response, but he raised an eyebrow at the enthusiasm of their new acquaintance.

"I have reason to believe that my cousin would be in a land with water." He said. "I could very well be wrong, but being water is her element, That's my best bet." He said. "She loves drawing attention to herself however, so keep your ears open for talk of a multi colored cat girl."

[Bang Shishigami]

"Water you say? If that's the case, then I know the place we must go. From here we must travel South-East towards the off-land continent of Unda, but be warned friends, to do so requires us to traverse the sea itself, and I assure you, it will not be a simple journey. So with that in mind, we'll all have to prepare and steel ourselves against any difficulties that should come our way!" I cheer with an exuberant flare, hoping that my burning spirit will rub off on my new allies.

"With that in mind though, we'll need a craft if we are to take to the sea. Do either of you know where we might find a sturdy boat or some other sea worth craft?"

[Aya Dauzi Invargas]

Ayalan smirked, this guy was such a card.

"I've got the ability to charter a boat for the area. I suppose it'll be a long journey. Bang, though, I've a question for you."

"Ah, well, you can tone your manner of speaking down. I am Aya, this is Kaku." He pointed to the man, shaking his head, "And we will go off, it's just are you sure you're ready to travel so soon?" Aya walked along side them, going toward the southern river, "We can follow this to the south pier, and get a boat to the area. Hopefully we're not too late. It's gonna to be monsoon season soon.."

[Kaku Rokkakyu]

Kaku sighed. "Difficulties indeed..." He said, running a hand through his hair. "As if simply CATCHING her won't be enough of a hassle..."

He looked at Bang and shook his head. "I know nothing of this land I'm afraid.... Guidance is most appreciated."

He couldn't help but to chuckle at Ayalan's comment, although he did not mean anything rude by it.

"Praytell, what IS monsoon season?" Kaku asked. He was unfamiliar with this term.

[Bang Shishigami]

"A pleasure to meet you both, and my apologies if I was at all annoying," I say with a quick bow, my hands attached stiffly at my sides as I do so. "I've been told that I tend to get a little too riled up at points, a state that I always seem to enter without knowing."

Getting up from my deep bow, I notice the two have started to move and quickly maneuver behind them, listening intently to the brief conversation between Aya and Kaku. As Aya mentions Monsoon season, I nod my head in agreement, knowing full well the difficulties suffered by those at the merciless hands of the sea during that time.

Hearing Kaku's question, I feel it necessary to inform him and hastily explain. "Monsoon Season is a time of harsh blowing winds and violent storms that can ravage sea vessels with ease. I strongly agree with Aya; we need to get to Unda before that season even starts," I exclaim with a strong sense of urgency.

[Aya Dauzi Invargas]

Ayalan grinned, "Bang, how long have you been on this land? You certainly know your terms, even your nautical ones. I remember one time, I had a similar situation with a first cl-.."

Aya shut up for a moment, "Class, that was learning in nautical school, in my old teachings. It was an especially unpleasant time, but no worries. This ship I know that will be available will be piloted by only the best I know!"

He avoided any topics, ushering the rest to come along, pointing to the sign leading south. He tapped his own head, remembering all he could.

[Kaku Rokkakyu]

Kaku waved a hand. "Not at all." He said. "It's quite alright." He smiled in understanding.

He listened to Bang's explanation of the dangers of Monsoon season and nodded. "We'd best get there sooner than later then." He said.

He raised an eyebrow at Aya, as it seemed he had cut himself off. Kaku was most curious as to what he had to say now.

[Bang Shishigami]

I begin to open my mouth to answer Aya's question, but quickly find myself standing their, waiting for Aya to finish his thought before I start mine. As soon as he finished, I finally go answer his question, only to have him quickly move along and motion Kaku and myself to follow. Standing their with my mouth hanging open, I let out a brief sigh and start trailing Aya again, a little disappointed in loosing a chance to tell others about myself and my adventures. "But no worries," i think to myself. "I shall have a good deal of time to bond with my new comrades and share our tales of epic journeys and grand adventures," i assure myself, feeling my disappointment quickly vanish.

"So Aya," I begin as I walk close behind him. "How long do you think it will take us to reach this craft," I ask, my impatience starting to get the better of me as I grow progressively more excited about the whole trip.

[Aya Dauzi Invargas]

Ayalan continued walking only hearing Bang's question, he was a bit estranged by his own near slip up of facts, and spoke up, "two hour walk roughly. We'll live, it's not a bad walk, but we could cut the trip in half if we take the nearest pier, rent or buy a boat, and follow the river."

Aya had a good hold of the land, as he looked over at Bang, "So let me try again. How did you come about in this kingdom?" He was now just trying to switch topics really.

[Kaku Rokkakyu]

Kaku said nothing. He seemed to be the only one unfamiliar with this land. No matter though, as he simply listened to the conversation for the time being. He was unsure what he COULD say reguardless.

[Bang Shishigami]

My face lit up at Aya's question. "Well I was born here in Alberisato in a small village deep within the forest. There I was raised and trained in the ways of the ninja until my village met with an unforeseen end by a vicious and merciless assault. While the remaining villagers escaped to the far corners of Allorum to avoid being hunted by these mystery assailants, I vowed to become a beacon of justice and travel over the lands, so that I may stop all villains and wrong-doers, hoping that one day I may avenge my fallen comrades by bringing those who felled them to justice!" I explain with passion as I grip my fist tightly in front of me.

I glance at Aya and clear my throat quickly. "And what about you Aya. You seem rather knowledgeable when it comes to finding your way around. What inspires you to travel over Allorum and help those in need?"
