Party

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

There was an earthquake? What the hell?

Lucien peered over the edge of the balcony and stared down at the dust filled lobby. Men and women yelled as they tried to get to safety and loud explosions filled the room. Everything was thrown into a state of chaos. Was the Don? Were those the others?

“OH MY APPLESANDMACARONIPIE DID YOU SEE THAT?!”

There was no mistaking it, that was the little trickster. So, they were through playing pretty ladies, yeah? Lucien looked to Boris, then to Dylan, an idea forming inside his head. It was time to ditch the noble and help their friends. Still, he had to wonder, why were they calling off the undercover mission? Had something gone wrong? His head was filled with questions, but he had no time to entertain them. "Oh Boris! I think I forgot something in the dungeon. Do accompany me, I'm scared to death." He gave Dylan a wink, linked his hands with both Dylan's and Boris' then whisked them away to the dungeon.

"I think it's behind that horse, please go and have a look." He wasn't being very ladylike, but the stunned Boris who was too gentlemanly for his own good, stooped down beside the horse to check. Lucien took the opportunity to grab the handcuffs of the shelf and swiftly cuffed his cousin to the wooden horse. "Oh my, I'm so sorry, but Diane and I must depart!" He gave the man a horrid wink, he was no longer in character, not at all. The summoner quickly ushered Dylan out of the room before bolting the door shut.

He let out a nervous laugh. "You saw what I saw, yeah? It was them." He grinned at his friend, the Pride sure was amazing. "Hey, hey, Dylan...if you were some rich jerk, where would you hide a bunch of women?" With most of the guards rushing to the first floor, the other floors would be probably be easier to search. "Now's the perfect opportunity to look around, yeah?" His grin widened, the thought of running around like secret agents made him very excited.



There was a loud rumble then silence.

"What on earth?" Xan stared at Thunderhawk for a few moments, wondering if perhaps something had gone horribly wrong. Mordie didn't seem too worried and mentioned something about earthquakes. However, Xan thought it was something bigger. The metallurgist hopped off her stool only to be yanked away by something. For a moment there had been no one, but in the snap of a finger Aria appeared. "Aria?" Before Xan could say more, a familiar looking bag was pushed into her arms.

“I’m going up while everyone’s mostly distracted."

"Distracted? Aria, distracted by what?" Xan's voice grew concerned, but before she could hold Aria in place, her friend dashed off, stating that the others in the lobby would probably need assistance. "Assistance?" So the others were inside? What happened to playing it safe and warding off suspicion? "Aria, wait..." Before she could protest Aria was gone. Going solo didn't sound like a good idea, especially not in this situation, but the only thing she could do was trust her friend. "Be careful too," Xan muttered before she rushed towards the entrance. What she saw froze her in place, it was the pride, duking it out with security.

Oh...that's why her stuff was in the bag. She'd have to thank Aria later on. The girl rushed back to the counter. "Henrietta, I think you should take a look at the lobby." She didn't pause to explain to Anthony and instead found a place to change out of her dress and into her guilder clothes. The girl rushed past Mordie, hoping that she wouldn't be recognized and skidded to a stop when she got into the lobby. It was chaos, everywhere.

To her left a bro kicked a security guard in her face and to her right more screams erupted.

She weaved her way through the crowd, tripping one of the guards who chased after a bro with a baton. What had happened in the span of a few minutes? Well, all hell broke loose, that was what happened, unfortunately.

"Go up?! I can't see any stairs goin' down!"

Up? Wait wasn't that Syed and his partner? The boss? "The stairs are that way!" She yelled, Xan didn't quite understand what was going on, but if the pride has suddenly decided to blow their own cover and charge, then it had to be something big, right?

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Collaboration between Orpheus, Crescendo, and Fox



"What's next?" Serenade stared at the dazed humans and at the unconscious Hakuren. "Well, we have we came for, so let's head back. You all deserve a good rest and we need a little break too, don't we?" She raised an eyebrow at her fellow guides. After the Shakespearean and their run in with the Siren, they needed some time off. Hopefully the next item on the list would be something easier to obtain. Something like a donut from the ice cream mountains? Now, that would be a trip she wouldn't mind taking.

Harper reached out to pick up the list. There were only eight items left, but the next item, getting it would definitely be a challenge.

The Living List

Well. They didn't look so bad. At least nobody was missing an arm; considering the reputation of the renegades the humans had faced, you'd expect that the guides would've found them piled on top of each other in a mangled heap. Ha. Songbird rolled his eyes. Maybe he was overreacting. This certain batch did look like wimps, though. Honestly.

His gaze raked the entirety of the scattered group and although he was duty bound to help the human who was most in need (Duty. Pfft.), he let that certain prerequisite slide in order to keep an eye on the slightly wobbly Jasper. He was not carrying Hakuren. Who knew when the little snapper would wake up and regale him with theories and the like? As if that wasn't reason enough, bringing Hakuren with him would ensure that Dissonance would stay by his side to pore over the human whom she thought looked cute (or whatever. Bunnies have weird tastes.) and Songbird wasn't ready for that... And he never will be.

"You all look like..." He started to expound on the fact that the humans appeared as if a gore worm ate them then spat them out, but realized Serenade might chew his face off if he made so much as a snarky comment. "Ugh. Item get. Great. Let's get you all out of here. A certain someone obviously wants to do said action," The item hunter tilted his head towards Jasper and then headed after her to the entrance of the cave. He really didn't care about the other humans as of yet. Yeah yeah, grill him for the lack of commitment, but it's not like anybody paid him any attention (asides from the occasional odd look) and a nobody's affection can't be bought, yo.

"What does it say?" Serenade approached Harper and noticed how the boy looked a little worried. "Is the next item something bad?"

He was exhausted, and after all they had been through, how could this be any worse. "That depends, are dragons in Nowhere bad news?"

"Dragons!" Dissonance hopped up with a grin. "Are we going to meet their riders too? Sis, sis, it's been so long."

The white rabbit's sudden exclamation attracted his attention and Songbird spun around, his eyes wide at the mention of the very word. "Dragons? Are you kidding me? They're ador- I mean. They're very friendly," He muttered, scratching his ear and blushing. Apparently someone had a crush on said creatures.

Serenade chuckled at Songbird's reaction. "The dragons here are like giant puppies. Harmless, really. You can ask Songbird all about it, he's been places."

"Oh, I see. I guess this is alright then." Harper let out a relieved sigh before Serenade motioned for him to get going.

"Martini would you mind helping with Haku?" Serenade assisted a fallen Leila and watched as the other guides helped out with the humans. The mermaid brought to life one of her bouncy bubbles and soon enough Haku was floating on a giant bubble. Dissonance followed after him and the two left the gave.

"C'mon Ace, Leon." Cello looked a little shaken but he gave them a grin, grabbed them by the wrists then dashed past Songbird and out the cave. Brandy lingered behind and made sure that none of the humans tripped on their way out. They were a little wobbly after all and he had to make sure that no one would get left behind. The queen would be rather upset if they lost even more humans. They had lost a handful back at the Shakesperean already, but this time they were lucky.

"Good job, everyone." Serenade stared at the docks in the distance and nodded her head. "Now let's go home, you all deserve some rest."

Home, this wasn't it. Maybe to the nobodies, but the humans, they had a long way to go.

Songbird grumbled something unintelligible and looked to the distance. Maybe he'll ask the Queen to let him go once they arrive back in the castle. These activities sure aren't helping him any with his usual job.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Kei-chan, Kathi-chan and I are currently working on the collab that will end this chapter ^^ but we won't be starting the next one till tomorrow or Saturday.

Guys your next posts can be reactions to our post, or you guys can time skip three days forward (in human time xD) and do whatever in the castle. As usual, the humans will be getting a break. They'll be feasting, resting and attending some more of the queen's parties.

Edit: Posted (^w^)/! Chapter two has ended.
