York was quick to note the odd amount of titles that Roland seemed to carry for being a simple looking cowboy, but figured this was neither the time nor the place to be questioning oddities. That in mind, he merely reached into his coat pocket and flashed his badge at him once his introduction ceased. [color=708090]"FBI Special Agent Francis York Morgan,"[/color] York introduced himself as before tucking away the badge back where he found it [color=708090]"but please, just call me York, everyone else does."[/color] He added as an addendum before moving to start following Roland. At least, he was, until he heard Ken fall out of a tree not too far behind him. York paused in his stride to follow Roland and quickly shifted gears, heading over to investigate the noise. Best case scenario it'd be some kind of game and him and this cowboy fellow wouldn't have to starve to death. Worst case it'd be something decidedly more hostile than Roland was to him. York took his chances and approached the downed boy. He looked him over briefly, concluding he was of eastern descent, but decided against assuming anything else. [color=708090]"I can't place where he'd fit in either Zach. Definitely not in a Western..."[/color] York muttered before helping Ken to his feet. [color=708090]"Nasty fall you took there kid. My recommendation would be not to climb any more trees."[/color] York suggested simply. ---------------------------- Kieri's attention was dragged away from Darth Vader's face by Ainz's words. She had been unaware that the skeletal man had been scanning her, eyeing her, and if she had been she'd probably be even more terrified than she was right now. As it was, she sat frozen as Ainz held out a hand to her, though she did wince a bit. Ainz was standing right next to Darth Vader after all, and when he held his hand out...Well, that had not gone well for Jasper. She clenched her hands into fists, barely even noticing as Harvey abandoned her and squirted himself into the portal, only daring to even breath again when Ainz lowered his hand. She listened to what the skeleton had to say afterwards, briefly weighing her options. On the one hand, getting the collar off would be absolutely spectacular, and pretty much all she had wanted to happen ever since she woke up. On the other, Ainz apparently was intent on making Kieri his ally by force. This was something that Angels were familiar with, but that didn't mean it felt good to be on the receiving end. On the other...If she did refuse, she'd incur the wrath of two hellish looking beings. In the interest of self preservation, Kieri nodded slowly at Ainz's words. Jasper had forgotten about Harvey during the formation of the portal. While her initial thoughts had been Blue Diamond coming to pick her up and take her back to Homeworld, she dismissed that thought outright once the portal formed. If it was the work of Blue Diamond, it would've been a teleportation [i]pad[/i], not an arch. Homeworld hadn't used those things for centuries now. Besides, in hindsight it would've been Yellow Diamond coming for her, not Blue Diamond. Before Jasper could really investigate who was responsible for tossing her into this mound of Earth and accost who was responsible, she caught Harvey...She honestly wasn't sure how Harvey was doing that. She assumed that those of his kind would have to store up water in order to do that, but she didn't see any source of H2O around. Still, she decided not to dwell on it-her target was getting away. [color=FFA500]"Oh no you don't!"[/color] Jasper said with a snarl, charging after Harvey and diving into the portal after him. The portal seemed to flash purple with each person going into it before returning to its original electric blue light. -------------------------------- "What do you think it is General Shif T.?" Asked Blot T., scratching his black spotted mushroom hat as he poked the portal that had just appeared in town square with a spear. It was probably the best looking structure in Toad Town, considering the the misfortunes that had befallen the town recently. Building were smashed, craters had been made in the pavement, and the castle...Blot T. didn't even want to look at the princess' castle across the lake. Not since Bowser had gotten a hold of it, and then some. "Beats me," Shif T. finally responded, narrowing his eyes at it and quirking an eyebrow "but we have to assume that it's something to do with Bowser. They know we're here, after all." "Yeah..." Offered Cat T., rubbing underneath her nose as her red curls bounced with each movement she made "so should we stand guard in case anything comes through?" Shif T. paused at this. He turned to face the dozen or so toads that had accompanied him on this impromptu reconnaissance mission. He maybe three or four more troops back at the base, at best. Could he really risk leaving someone here if this was a King Koopa plot? Before he could truly dwell on it however, the portal's purple glow changed to an electric blue glow, and out came Harvey and shortly after Jasper. Jasper spotted the fish man quickly and moved to pick him up again, rage in her eyes and her motions...Until she noticed the twelve spears that were currently pointed at her person. Jasper towered over the toads before her, and she knew that she could probably crush them all easily if she so wanted, but...She had been having a long day. She could use her entertainment. "State your identity and purpose, now." Shif T. said simply, his squeaky scratchy voice trying to sound intimidating almost sending Jasper into hysterics by itself.
