Is anyone gonna post?
For the record, the reindeer isn't helping Jared. In the post itself, the driver (who we know as Kristoff) helped kill one of the wolves, and then Jared killed the other two himself with Sonic Blade. That means the Reindeer should logically be going for a different wolf, either one of the two fighting Elim or one of the ones on Kasus. The Snowman (Olaf) isn't actually fighting any of them, instead hiding behind the sled and lobbing snowballs from behind it.
Elim, to no one's surprise, attacked first. His Fire Spell keeping at least one of the beasts from lunging before lunging at it himself with a spear, killing it with a single skewer. Serene and Simo seemed to fare well more or less, Simo managing to kill one at about the same time Elim killed his first opponent. Kasus, though, was another story. After struggling with a single beast he was suddenly being stalked by two of them and cried out for help as he attacked one of them. Jared wanted to help, but had problems of his own. Ten of these beasts had appeared in total, and with two of them now dead that left eight. Two of those were now focusing on Elim, while another two of them were the ones now surrounding Kasus. Serene had managed to kill one attacking her before going to help Kasus, all in all that left three that had yet to act.
Those three were circling in on Jared, having singled him out as the Keybearer and, as such, the largest threat to their existence. Jared could fight off single opponents well enough, but three at once was like an entirely different thing altogether. One of the beasts moved to pounce Jared, him managing to step aside enough to avoid the fangs and swing his blade through the beast's torso. The attack sent it back a bit and it reeled from being struck by the Keyblade, but it wasn't dead yet. The other two chose that time to strike, one lunging high for Jared's neck while the other went low, for his legs at a separate angle. Knowing it was impossible to counter both Heartless, Jared brought his weapon to bare against the one going for his neck, the beast instead biting the blade of his weapon. As quickly as possible, Jared pushed forward as hard as he could, hoping to push back his attacker while simultaneously moving out of the way of the other. It succeeded... somewhat. Jared wasn't able to completely avoid the second Heartless, and it was able to catch his leg with it's claw as he pushed forward into the other, which was successfully thrown back to the ground. The beast that pounced first had now regained composure and made to attack again, but would never reach its intended target.
"Hyaaah!" came a shout as the beast found itself sent crashing back into the snow. The man who was driving the sled was standing there with a pickaxe normally used for mining ice, but at that moment was used as a makeshift weapon. Caught completely by surprise, the beast was slain by that attack, leaving the other two facing a now-more-confident Jared.
Keyblade in hand, he lunged forth with great speed, with his weapon thrust forward in the process. This attack cut through one of the Heartless, but he was not finished. He repeated this attack four more times, twice on each creature, slaying them both with his newly learned Sonic Blade technique. The girl by that point had unhitched the reindeer from the sled, allowing to run forward in a charge against the nearest Heartless in an attempt to gore them on his antlers or at least trample them with its hooves. Even the funny-looking snowman decided to try helping, though admittedly the best he could do was continuously lob snowballs at Heartless, though he did at least aim for the eyes to try and blind them momentarily for others come in and attack them.

Why? Does blood automatically equal good writing or something? It's a game about Disney characters, blood and gore just doesn't fit.
"Good point," started Jared, but followed up with an argument of his own, "but the more time we spend doing this other stuff, the more likely it is the Princess will die herself. So that leaves us with the million munny question. How should we manage what little time we can spare?" he scratched his head a bit in thought, it was quite a conundrum and such things were not exactly his strong point. Still, both he and Elim made valid points which meant they had to be smart about how to use their time. Simo offered to do some hunting and in response Jared shrugged, "I guess that's a start, though I'd feel better if you took someone with you so you're not completely alone out there."
Suddenly a scream could be heard coming from down the mountain, followed by barks that sounded like they were getting closer.
Jared whirled around to face where the sound came from, now hearing the sound of things running through the snow. Then, all at once, a reindeer sped past, pulling a sled behind him. The sled had riders; a young man, a young woman, and a... snowman? In any case, Jared had to dive to side to avoid being run over. The guy driving the sled only saw him at the last moment, and tried in vain to yank on the reins, causing the reindeer to veer sharply off course, the sled sharply turning with it and then rolling over in the snow. But that was the least of everyone's problems. The sled was currently being chased, and its pursuers had now caught up and surround everyone. They looked like wolves with pitch black fur. Jared staggered to his feet and finally noticed the creatures himself. Something was... off about these wolves. They didn't seem... natural. Of course, when they got closer and revealed their glowing yellow eyes, Jared nearly jumped, calling the Keyblade to his hand in sharp alarm.
"Heartless!" he exclaimed sharply, barking a warning to his friends. Seemed it was time for yet another battle. No rest for the wicked, as they say.
Cue Music

With Vincanity gone (apparently) my characters now have no one to interact with and thus my motivation to write something is a bit down. *sigh* Hmm...
For the moment, yes.
Apologies for the delayed post, had to a take a last minute trip out of state this past Wednesday and... well, life is hectic sometimes.
"Er, that's not exactly what he meant..." Jared said to Elim, grinning despite himself at the boy's apparent lack of knowledge of snowmen, "Snowmen are... well, kids sort of build them out of snow, then use coal and carrots to give it a face, then finally giving it a scarf and hat so it appears more human. It's just harmless fun, really. No danger or fighting involved." his explanation of snowmen was basic as can be, but still served its purpose. He was walking by this point, watching Elim move further ahead. Why was he even acting as the de facto leader? Was it the Keyblade? His ability to fly the ship? He didn't really know, but somehow he just ended up in the role, and for now just went with it.
He had to admit that Serene made a good point. Here they were, thrust together into a perilous situation by the hand of fate, and they hadn't really introduced themselves yet. Fortunately, Simo and Kasus were quick to agree and remedied that by introducing themselves, while Elim did so with what Jared believed to be hesitation or reluctance. Still, it seemed he was the only one now who had to talk about himself, "I'm Jared," he finally said, "and the old man who saved us back in Lunaris was Dion, he's my... well, I guess you could say he's like a foster father. He took me in after all, gave me a home when no one else would..." his voice trailed slightly when he started thinking of the old man. How was he anyway? He'd said something about buying the others time to escape... did that mean he actually tried to fight those Judges?
Jared shook his head, wishing not to think about it decided instead to focus on finding that princess and queen, "Well, according to Hans the princess went toward the mountains when she went after her sister, so I would think that's as good a place as any to start. I just hope those Heartless haven't got to her already." having said that, he picked up the pace, starting to realize that both their targets may very well have fallen prey to the Heartless as the Prince nearly did, in which case he wanted to find them all the sooner. For now, the travel was uneventful, but by sundown the intrepid adventurers found themselves staring up at the frost covered mountain that overlooked the now-distant Arendelle.
"Well, no place to go but up, right?" asked Jared, beginning to look around for some kind of path or at the very least a spot suitable for climbing. He hadn't elaborated about his past to the others, but back home he was quite an accomplished swimmer and climber, so finding a way to get up this blasted mountain would have to fall to his shoulders as he assumed he was the one with the most climbing experience.

I've had to be out of town from Wednesday to late Saturday night. I thought to post today, but there's really not a whole lot to work off of in the IC currently.
