The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Okay, posted a short reaction post :D

Guys, since we'll be focusing on character interaction for the next few cycles, the posts don't have to be lengthy, and like I said, (^w^)/ feel free to trigger new scenes and lead us along. Best of luck to everyone still taking exams! It's been kind of quiet lately :C but I'm guessing it's cause all of us are students. Do drop an OOC post if you guys will be skipping a cycle, that way others know not to interact with your charas at the moment and so Kei-chan and I can NPC them for ya~!

Happy Saturdusk, guys ^^

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

A tiger and a wolf Harper kept his distance and stood between both Haku and Jasper.

"Um, do any of you know how to ride a horse?" He let out a nervous laugh, riding those giant chickens would probably be just like riding a horse, right? He stared at the Chocobos timidly noticed Inadi. The boy seemed very fond of the chickens and most of them seemed fond of him too. They kwehed and flapped happily and one even jumped out of its stable when he mentioned something called Gyshal Greens.

Harper laughed, despite their sizes they were adorable balls of fluff. He couldn't help but noticed their really sharp beaks and intimidating armor though. "They seem to really like you!" He stated with a smile. "You're Inadi, right?" Harper timidly approached one of the Chocobos and it flapped its wings happily.

Meanwhile, the Chocobo beside Inadi ducked and scooped the boy onto its back. It looked very happy.

Harper slowly began climbing his own mount before giving the guides a smile. He felt uncertain, but at times like these, smiling was all he could really do. The chocobo was actually quite easy to ride, all he had to do was pull the reins in a certain direction. He guided his mount so it would trot towards both Jasper and Leila. He gave both girls a smile. "It's not that hard, promise." Then he heard Ace and Riley shouting and he laughed.

When they weren't fighting for their lives, Nowhere was a beautiful place.

"Excuse me, Avian, Victoria. So this dragon? Could you give us some tips." He made a sour face. "Have any of you fought dragons before?"

"Hehe, we should race these things! That would be so fun! Too bad we can't get rides like those."

Riley grinned at Ace then at both tiger and wolf. "Yup! But I'm not complaining, these giant chickens are adorable and they look great in armor." He gave the Chocobo a pet on its head then grinned at Ace, Lesley, and Haku. "As for a race, let's do this! I mean, if we're going against a dragon we need to be fast." She was grinning deviously like a cheshire cat with a naughty plan. "I bet I can make it to the end of the field before you guys!" Riley tapped her foot against the chicken's side and it dashed off like a bullet. The girl squealed in joy until the chocobo tripped on a rock and she was sent flying.

Her squeal turned into a yelp and she found herself on a bed of flowers. The sky above them was a bright blue and the sun was shining. The Chocobo approached her but she didn't get up and instead started to count clouds. "This isn't so bad! Lesley, get your butt here! I think I those clouds are made of actual cotton candy!" Aside from Vince, she knew Lesley the longest. He was fun, "Gosh, you guys are slowpokes."

"Maybe we should go look for them." Xan suggested, but before the girl could say anything else Atlas made an appearance.

Neither Dr. Dream nor Marcus were with him, but that wasn't the most alarming part. He looked weary and had a bruise on his cheek, there was blood on his clothes too, none of the blood was his. The magician looked lost, expression one of disbelief and eyebrows knit together in frustration. He began sputtering curses beneath his breath as he paced around the town square.

Thaum's square was empty now, aside from a few vendors and the Pride.

Lucien stared at the magician then at his friends, where were Marcus and the doctor? "Hey,Atlas, yeah? We're here."

Atlas straightened up at the sound of his name, he hadn't noticed the pride until Lucien called. He eyed them one by one before letting out an exasperated sigh. "Gods," he didn't know what to say, so he stuffed his hands into the pockets of his bloodied coat and focused on Lute.

"What happened?" Xan asked, "where are Marcus and the doctor, are they aright?"

"I don't know," he muttered beneath his breath. Atlas looked away and kicked at the ground.

Why hadn't Marcus and the doctor returned? Why was Atlas covered in blood and why did he look so nervous?

Lucien looked at the blood and noticed that the only injury the other guilder had was a bruised cheek. "None of that blood is yours."

Xan arched an eyebrow at the declaration. "What happened?" She repeated, this time sounding less sympathetic and more serious.

Atlas straightened up and made his way towards the Pride. "What if I told you a man made out of cheese ambushed us?"

The metallurgist narrowed her eyes at the man, this wasn't the time to joke around.

The magician scowled. "We got into a fight with these things, and after that, some bear with a hammer hit me on the head. When I woke up...Marcus and Dr. Dream were gone. I swear to the Gods--to Dyn." He hissed. "I am not lying." The man focused his eyes on Lute. "I'm not fooling around either. It sounds crazy, but I swear, it's the damned truth."

Thaum's Square: A few hours later...

Soon, Dr. Dream, Marcus and Atlas would arrive. They would talk a little bit more about the mission then travel to the mountains, there, they would meet one of the dream eater's victims. The morning had been fun filled and cheery, but things were about to get serious.The pride regrouped in Thaum's square, right beside a giant and beautiful fountain. The night air was cool and silver stars were strewn across the beautiful night sky. Thaum was quieter at night and less people roamed the streets. It was prettier too, the streetlamps casting a warm glow around the square. It made everything looked grand.



"They should be arriving soon, does everyone have their equipment?" Xan asked as she rummaged through her bad for the second time.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm ready!" Lucien mumbled through a mouthful of hash browns. He looked like chipmunk, storing food in his cheeks for the winter. Food vendors pushed carts along Thaum's square. Street performers often did their little shows by the fountain, so tourists and vendors made it a point to gather at the square after sunset. Lucien flitted from cart to cart, buying as much street food as he could. "This is just grand," he took a bite out of a candy apple and cradled a box of 'em in his free arm. "Can you believe it." He gave his friends a dopey looking grin and bounced in place. "They sold me the entire box for a great price." The summoner hugged the box of candy apples to his chest before holding it out to the others. "Hey, hey, you guys should try these. The hash browns are quite wonderful too."

The metallurgist took a candy apple out of the box. "Thank you."

"You're welcome!" He left the box with his friends then rushed towards another food cart that was passing by. The other cart was selling dumplings and they had soda too! Lucien returned with a can of strawberry soda and a giant grin. "So where are they?"

"They should be arriving soon." Dr. Dream said to regroup before before seven, but It was seven thirty now.

They waited and waited. Lucien sat on one of the benches, stuffed, and Xan looked around, growing impatient.

Out of the corner of his eyes the summoner noticed something strange.

"I'm late, I'm late for a very important date. No time to say hello, goodbye, I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!" A white rabbit with a pocket watch in his hand began weaving his way through the crowd, careful not to get stepped on. A white rabbit was talking! What did these people put in their food? "What the heck..." Lucien leaped to his feet, causing a few of the passersby to stare. "Guys, did you see that?!"

The square began to grow emptier, and they waited for another hour. However, Dr. Dream, Marcus, and Atlas never arrived.
