The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Good evening guys @___@

I just got back from the school activity and it was horrible. 10 hours of fieldwork in a field away from civilization. We helped host a soccer game and the kids were adorable but now I just want to crawl under the covers and die. I feel so bad for how inconsistent I've been this week, I'm terribly sorry. I hate how we've had event after event at school...stupid February. *Rages* We've been having make-up class after make-up class thrown into every possible free time as well due to the teacher leaving next week for two weeks. So at least when he's gone it'll be an awesome two weeks, but while he's here ;A; ahahaha.

I won't be posting tonight, but I've decided to ditch everything tomorrow and just stay in my dorm room. I'm going to finish all my papers, my midterm projects and definitely catch up with everything tomorrow. I'm really, really sorry but I'm just gonna finish a birthday gift for my mom before I go crash and burn.

Have a great weekend, guys.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Posted ^^

Make sure to read this post well, I included things about the siren and a timeskip for everyone. Green feel free to respond to the post Rabbit and I left for you, but before you end it, I'll want a timeskip on your part too, if possible xD but if not then you can skip after that.

The guides will be bringing all the humans together during the next cycle and after that the investigation will begin >8D and huehuehue.

It won't be much longer till Kathi-chan, Kei-chan and I, introduce you to Them ;)

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Okay, Mandu and I are working on a collab post xD for you.

For everyone in Yonder, I've posted and your next post can either take place the next morning or it can be a response to my last post and a timeskip to the next morning. Whatever floats your boat xD as long as you include the next morning, I'm cool with it.

For Oblivion and Aki, I'll have your post up soon :D Ace and Leon will arrive at Yonder in this post.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

In the town of Yonder...

He was angry, not just at Hakuren, but at the Mayor, at the queen, and maybe even at Nowhere itself.

The way the place defied everything he knew about logic, science, physics just got underneath his skin. He wanted to go home as soon as possible, and Jasper with her glassy eyes and shivering frame looked like she wanted to go home too, but they were powerless. They couldn't go home, not until they collected every item on the list. "If you know this is real," Harper inhaled sharply before finally snapping, "then act like it! Some of us, some of us aren't suicidal like you and I...I can't be as brave as you!" He exploded before allowing Maritini to pull him away. It had been a long day and they were tired and cold and crabby. Maybe, tomorrow would be better.

Songbird took charge of the others, shoving them along grouchily, but Harper didn't feel upset or intimidated. He was extremely grateful that the bird was doing what he did and he was glad that the guides came when they did. Drowning would have been a horrible way to go and if they had died, they wouldn't have the chance to go home.

"Hey, Martini...thanks for everything and I don't know if asking is alright, but," he walked alongside the mermaid who floated on her little bubble. "What happened to the batches before us, why aren't there any other humans...did they go home?" In the pit of his stomach, he doubted that they did, but it was nice to hope.

Not too far ahead of him Dissonance dragged a soggy Leila and Hakuren along. "Hey, don't be so mean, Haku. She looks frightened already!" The white rabbit gave the boy's cheeks a hard pinch. Maybe that would teach him to behave. The white rabbit was still bouncy and happy, but it was more in an attempt to keep the mood light. She sensed that something was wrong, but wasn't the type to admit stuff like that, so she did what she did best and grinned.

"Oi Song!" She yelled, "Don't get lost in the fog, we'll be at the cabin." And with that said she hopped alongside Martini as they made their way to the cabin. As soon as they arrived Dissonance began ushering the humans towards the bathroom. There were only two bathrooms, one upstairs and the other one down. However, there were several showers separated by stalls. Harper stumbled into one and took a warm shower before he got changed. When he was done with everything he collapsed onto the couch beside the fireplace and closed his eyes.

"Tomorrow, we'll figure out exactly what happened. Sis, is probably going to talk to the mayor and maybe find Mado too." Dissonance grinned cheerily at everyone in the room. "We'll get to the bottom of this, so don't worry about anything you pasty-skinned humans." The word pasty-skinned had become one of endearment and Dissonance did care about them, despite her brash decisions and silly shenanigans. It had been two weeks after all and she had grown rather fond of them.

"Okay, get some sleep, humans. Tomorrow, we become detectives!"

One by one everyone began falling into a deep and fitful slumber. In the darkness of their minds in a realm between waking and sleep they saw her, a distorted reflection beneath the blackened waves. The blood red moon was reflected on the water's surface and peppermint stars shimmered in the construction paper night. There was the chanting of several citizens, torches and pitchforks that were raised high into the sky. A sad song and then a scream. The Nobodies dreamed about it too, but it was blurry and told in nothing more than fragments.

The dream came to pass and morning came.

On the road to Yonder...

Ace was very enthusiastic about Nowhere and it brought a smile to Cello's face. He had been a guide for as long as he could remember, but he never got tired of the amazement he saw in the human's faces. Most of them always talked about how fantastic Nowhere was, but despite that majority of them always wanted to go back. It didn't make any sense because if Nowhere was grand and far more magnificent than the human realm then why did they always want to leave? It always made him curious.

If humans always wanted to go back then earth had to beautiful in one way or another. If it wasn't then they would have stayed without a fight, of that he was sure.

"Heh, I'm glad you like Nowhere so much." Cello stretched like a lazy tabby, the stars shimmered brightly in the sky and the town of Yonder became visible in the distance. "Man, I wish I could visit earth. I bet it's much prettier than you humans make it sound, I mean, you guys always want to go back..." before he could say more he was interrupted by Ace's question. "We'll be there real soon, kiddo. That's the town of Yonder." He pointed to small town in the distance. It was made up by clusters of wooden houses and looked so old in comparison to the city they had come from.

“Used to? Is he one of the humans that went along on that mission with the star? I’m assuming he didn’t survive that encounter, hmm?” Leon's question reached him, but Cello didn't really know how to answer that one. It was a supposed to be sensitive topic.

"Well, you can say that. Nowhere can be dangerous too, well, I bet earth is the same way, yeah?" Cello grinned. "And sure, fair is fair. I'll ask you guys about your world and you can ask me about mine, I swear, I know this place real well." And with that they walked on.

Timeskip...

After much walking the two found themselves in a small and cheap looking hotel called Spouter inn. The wooden floorboards creaked with each step, the food smelled stale and the corners had molds, cobwebs and the works. The nobody in charge was a large cockroach named Skeet, he had a long mustache and ice-blue eyes. His assistant was a rat named Tomlinson who seemed to know Cello. The two weren't on good terms, but Tomlinson was civilized because Cello and the humans were guests.

"Sorry, we'll have to spend the night in this place." Cello mumbled. He was bundled up in a sleeping bag in front of the fireplace, not too far frome Ace and Leon. The place had run out of rooms, but it was the only one open so late at night. "G'night, kiddos." Cello rolled onto his side and closed his eyes. Like the other humans Ace's and Leon's dreams were also plagued by a distorted face that screamed from beneath the blackened waves.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Oh and Green, I'm fine with Mado going after the mayor, but Two and Serenade are definitely tailing after her. You see, I plan for a timeskip soon-ish xD

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Kimchi! D: WHY are you so lucky?

Come here and sing, please! <8D for me and Kei-chan. Come hereeeeeeeee. And awesome posts, guys. Silly, Haku xD and Mado is so threatening.

I'll have a post up in an hour or two. Three at most, but definitely tonight :D thanks for all the patience you guys have shown.

And ooh, a random dot. How mysterious. It's nice to meet you Anonymous and thanks for the bump, I guess xD

Have any of you guys seen Donnie Darko xD I think I've asked this before, but no one answered.

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

The beaches, the shiny attractions, the pretty girls, and all the food! Everything was just amazing.

Lucien found himself captivated by all the sights and sounds and people. At one moment he'd be starring at a man in a fancy wig, walking around with his pet dog then at another moment he'd spin around and find himself enchanted by some lady in a summer dress. This place was heaven on earth and he looked forward to every minute he'd be spending at Los Paraisos. Well, goodbye sleep! Lucien began coming up with some sort of strategy. He'd make sure he tasted all the food, went on all the crazy rides, swam in the beach, and maybe he'd meet someone new. He grinned from ear to ear, people here looked like they knew how to live life to the fullest, and he liked them already.

The summoner trailed behind everyone and was dressed for the occasion. He was wearing a dark blue, long-sleeved surfing shirt, a pair of white board shorts ,and slippers. He also had a pair of sunglasses perched atop his head. He was a hundred percent ready to hit the beach and ride some waves. Well, he didn't know how to surf, but everyone who did it looked pretty cool, so he figured he'd give it a shot too. Might as well try and if he failed, oh well. No harm in some good fun.

Then Dylan asked the question that sent Estelle bouncing up and down in glee. “So what are you guys thinking? Water park or beach?”

“Water park! Water park! We are going to go to a water park!!!” Their leader had declared.

Lucien pouted childishly. "Eh, there's no place like the beach, so if you guys need me." He flashed a bright and cheerful smile. "You'll find me there, riding the waves and turning heads!" He laughed at the thought, with his horrible balance, it was unlikely, but a guy could dream. Before the summoner could say more, Marcus interrupted their leader and reminded them of the mission. Lucien froze, he had nearly forgotten all about that.

"Oh yeah," he deflated like a balloon. Well, at least they'd have a lot of time for fun in the sun after the meeting. A bus came to pick them and their luggage up and they passed an array of restaurants and casinos. He must have thanked Tiberius mentally about a hundred times during the bus ride. The summoner shuffled out of the bus with everyone and watched as it drove off. He wasn't being his chatty self, but was instead sightseeing, allowing his senses to have a feast of their own.



What was taking Aria so long? It had been almost half an hour since her friend left for the washroom.

Xan stared impatiently at the half-empty glass of lemonade and the breadcrumbs that remained on Aria's side of the table. They would be meeting the others soon and Aria sure was taking her time. The young woman let out a sigh then took a sip from her glass of iced tea. Los Paraiso was beautiful, but they had to remember that they were on a mission, not a vacation. Xan finished the rest of her drink then got up from her chair. It was time to go looking for Aria, if they stayed here any longer they'd be late.

Unlike Aria, who was all dressed up for the meeting, Xan wore a simple, white summer dress that went down to her knees and a pair of sandals. However, the dress had unusually long sleeves that went up to the palm of her hands. They were just long enough to cover the prosthetic because she wasn't exactly fond of the stares it would earn her. She made her way to the washroom only to find out it was empty.

"Ari? Are you here?" Silence greeted her and she sighed, so that's how it was...well, she was used to it by now, but it still got on her nerves from time to time.

She made her way towards the flying Albatross, if Aria wasn't there then she'd show up eventually, right? Sure, her friend wasn't the most responsible person around, but she wouldn't just ditch the new guilders for a bottle of wine or two. Wait, would she? To be honest, Xan didn't really know. The two of them had skipped out on missions in the past due to Aria's coaxing. The older girl would always make promises on how'd they'd get to it later...but sometimes she never would.

Xan entered the restaurant and looked around, eventually spotting both Thunderhawk and Aria at the bar. Slowly, she made her way towards the two. "Good evening, leader and Ari." The former's name was spoken in a grumble, but she wasn't exactly mad. She took a seat beside her friend, "According to the schedule, they should be here soon, huh?"
