Inadi felt Jasper's hand run along his cheek and he felt a wave of relief come over him. Shooting his glance to the side he was able to watch the girl lean in to give him a hug, His hysteria bouncing through his head at an alarming rate still, yet he felt many of his nerves settle and fears become less controlling of his mind. The girl held him for a short amount of time and then went back to mingling with everyone else at the table. Still hanging his head slightly, Inadi slowly put his glasses back on his face and went back to looking over the table.

It seemed that everyone agreed to travel with the hooded figures. Not one person abstaining from the idea of joining a group that had at one point or another tried to kill them all. Had used them to gather items that would take them back home and leave the rest of them to rot in the vast emptiness of Nowhere. It was amazing how one bit of information changed the tune of the entire group. And the two biggest examples of that were himself and Riley. He and the red head had laughed at the initial offer and were now suddenly a part of the band wagon. Thought to be fair Inadi took a majority of the blame on that one since he had made such a scene deciding to go with them.

After seemingly hours of denying the treats at the table, Inadi caught a whiff of the cupcakes that were spread about the table and immediately scoffed. Much like the dinner back at the Queen's once they returned from Sol his appetite for sweets was minimal if nonexistent. The whole table and not one fruit bowl with apple slices or anything even close to that. Picking himself up off the chair he began walking back towards where Harper sat as he didn't even shoot a glance over at the treats he blew by on his slow pace.

Finally stopping near Harper, the man put a hand on the other's shoulder, hoping to get his attention. “Well we have onl so many things left to find on the list there Harper. Any chance that it is going to tell us exactly what we will be looking for next or do we need to wait for that bloody list to tell us on its own time?” Inadi said, his eyes still a bit red from his previous cry he had only a few short moments ago.

Inadi wanted to just forget the fact that he couldn't remember his parents. But if he did, how much more would be lost? At this rate he might become a bunny guard before even the New Year's Eve that the figures said. And the thought of that only made him that much more nervous and shaky. The had that still rested on Harper's shoulder was clamming up and a slight twitch was there towards the last few seconds as he eventually pulled away. Looking back over to Kain, which he left back at the chair he was in not too long ago, Inadi looked back at the crowned leader of the group. “And I know we aren't going to get it now but I'd like to start preparing for the trip.” Inadi finally explained, hoping that the list would already show what was next for the group to find. The sooner he had something to distract his mind and make him think, the better off he was in an emotional state. Mentally however, that would be another kind of thing all together to decide.

Looking back over to Riley he gave her a slight shrug of his arms and then dropped his eyes. Again, he felt so bad about changing face in the meeting that he felt like some kind of coward. And he owed everyone in the group an apology for not being able to stand up to the hooded figures in the end. It just felt like perhaps he was all talk and no action. A real leader wouldn't have just backed down from the claims. But instead Inadi folded like a greased up lawn chair. Bringing his eyes away from Riley, the disappointment he had in himself still resonating strong, he brought his gaze back to Harper, wondering if the list was showing anything. And sure, the hooded figures had mentioned that the next item was someplace they knew, but all things considered Inadi would rather get the news straight from the horse's mouth. Plus, that lack of trust and tension were still swimming around his nerves .
I'll be getting one up today after my paper route and I am looking forward to the move. :)
And there we go. I realized that I rarely even mention Inadi's past in any of my posts and I figured it was about time that came back to bite him in the ass. If I need to change anything please let me know and I will get on it immediately.


Toby's explosion of agitation did nothing to Inadi as he fixed his glasses. The boy had just joined them and had little knowledge of these people in the end. They were just as dangerous as anything else in Nowhere, they just preferred to hide their faces for the most part. Letting a quiet sigh he turned back to Harper who was questioning the group again for their reasons for wanting to help them and join forces to find the rest of the list.

The mention of losing memories went right over Inadi's head as he simply thought it was a way for the hooded figures across from them to change the subject off of their past actions. But his eyebrow was finally raised and his nerves put on lock when they told them the fate of human's who failed to finish the list. They became bunny guards?! The same they had seen for so long in the Queen's castle every time they were there for a feast or to learn of the next thing on the list? Those guards?!

Inadi quickly shook his head back and forth trying to make sense of it. It seemed too outlandish to be true, but then again the Queen had never fully explained what happened to those who came before them and those who failed. And she even said it herself that they had gotten the furthest than any other group in the history of Nowhere. And yet every single time they came back from a successful fetch.....she would hold a dinner for them and keep them at the castle longer than she probably should if she knew they were turning into bunny guards.

The pounding in the man's head became heavy as he forced himself to stop thinking about the guards. If you lost all your memories you would turn into one of those guys right? Inadi began quickly going through his mind to try and remember all that he could. His first thought was back to his book he was working on back home. Thinking back to the title of it, it was.....it was......Inadi suddenly shot his look up across the table, but he was not looking at anyone. His eyes went wide as he realized that he couldn't remember the name of the damned thing he was resting his whole life on. He wanted to be a great author! That much he remembered. But how could he become that if he didn't even remember the title of the first book he was writing?

Instead of his title he decided to start thinking back to other things about it. The genre. Surely he remembered the genre of it. It was a romance novel if he thought back....wasn't it? No, no it couldn't have been. Inadi hated those kinds of stories. Maybe it was a science fiction novel? Or perhaps it was some kind of adventure book. Quickly realizing that he didn't even remember that made the man shoot out of his chair and walk away from the table and into the cover of some of the trees of the forest behind him. Hiding his face in his hand to keep everyone from seeing his frustration and stop the pounding of his mind. Looking back at the hooded figures, Harper, Ace, Riley and everyone else made him only quicken his pace.

His breathing became much heavier now that he was alone. How could he forget those things? Simple details that shouldn't take more than a few seconds to sort out. And here he was struggling to figure them out. Thinking back, he couldn't even remember the name of the coffee shop he went to when he wanted to find a place quiet to write away from his home. His mother always bothered him about it because of how much hot chocolate he would drink since he couldn't stand the bitter taste of coffee. She told him it would rot his teeth faster than anything. He could see her now saying it to his face....

Inadi's breath caught in his chest as he realized a terrible truth. He COULDN'T see his mother's face in his mind. He remembered her, her name and what she would say. But suddenly the face of the woman who brought him to this world was just a giant white silhouette in his mind's eye. Feeling his hand twitch on the grip of Kain the boy began trying to think of his father. The man who always told him that the writing was a great idea....or was it that he thought it was better for him to find something else to do with his life? Inadi quickly grabbed Kain and swung violently at the trees next to him, the clanking of the steel on the wood and the slashing of the air as in his rage he missed on more than a few swings. He couldn't remember his father's face or what he was like towards him. He had spent so much time focused on just the situation in Nowhere, he rarely thought back to his life back home since they arrived back in Sol practically. And it was clear what the affects were now.

His rage subsiding he looked up at the tree he swung at and saw cleaves in it that went deep and scattered randomly along the trunk. Feeling a strange moistness on his face he reached up to realize he had been crying all the while he was lost in his rage. Quickly wiping them away, he could not see the redness in his eyes or the shine on his cheeks. Coughing to clear his throat, he looked back at where the group was and felt a pang of disgust strike him. Walking back slowly, he eventually returned with his glasses low on his nose and his eyes closed slightly, as if he was trying to hide them from everyone.

Shooting glances at all the others at the table, he couldn't help but wonder just how much they had all lost on their journey. He had only recently joined and he already was losing so much. He hardly talked about his life back home, and now thinking back to how the others would mention their past selves he now saw it as some kind of therapy to keep those thoughts fresh. Then his eyes fell on the hooded figures and the scowl returned to his face.

“No matter where we go now....we've been used by someone. The hooded figures used us to complete the list so they could go home. And the Queen,” Inadi said as his head shook with frustration. “The Queen has been using us to practically entertain herself. She knew we would turn, and said nothing of it to us. And all those feasts. Maybe that was her way of trying to keep us here longer so we would lose our memories.” Inadi said looking back at Harper and then to Leila, as he knew she was very scared of the whole idea. None of them wanted this, but this was their life now. It was either go home, or stay here forever as something they weren't.

“Well I'm sick of being someone's pawn. I'm no tool to be used for someone else's desires,” He said with a defiant look in his eyes. Turning to Lesley and seeing his arm again only brought back the memory of what happened in the cabin with Avian. Back then he said that the human's shouldn't trust the Nobodies. And now learning about the Queen.....he knew he was right. Turning to the hooded figures and walking towards the group, he stopped near the one called C. “But you give me one reason or one idea that says you aren't as true to your word as you say, I'll be sure to laugh when the train door closes and you aren't on it.” He told her with a scowl as he went back to his seat. He pulled it out and looked over to Harper and then to Riley with an ashamed look in his eye. At the start of this he seemed like the one human who went in here with the least open minded about this group. But learning how empty his mind actually was, he saw that he needed to change.

He began dragging the chair over towards Jasper and slowly sunk into the chair. His eyes began to burn again, but he did what he could to keep it in. A few slid out, but with his head as low to the ground as it was, it was difficult to tell. Looking out of the corner of his eye and seeing Jasper was similar made him even more upset. “Pick your head up. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Not like me...” He told her as he began desperately thinking back to his mother. He tried remembering if it was her or his father that wore glasses like he did. But still, both figures just stood as silhouettes in his mind. The glasses on his face suddenly grew heavy, and they felt like they burned at his skin. Another tear streamed out and landed on the lens. The weight and lack of footing it had on his face made the pair fall from his face. In his desperate searching of his mind, he refused to even acknowledge that they had fallen. But staring at them with his clouded vision only reminded him of the shaky memories he had of his parents. He picked them up slowly, but merely rested them on his knee, his eyes burning even more than they had prior.
Jeez. Gonna put Inadi on a spot here. Will get a post up tomorrow but I will definitely look to try and find a way to shake things up just a tad. :)

Also Fox, what in the world does the Patron of Silliness thing on Iwaku do? Is that important?
Got a post up as well. The tension here is becoming very, very enticing. Inadi desperately wants to let his frustrations out. Haha! I love these moments. XD


Looking back at Ran falling over and try to play it cool by crossing his legs didn't fool Inadi at all. Letting Jasper and the rest of the group lead the way inside he went back and picked the man up with a quick pull of his sleeve. Looking back at the bush he rolled out of he couldn't help but chuckle to himself. “If you start to itch make sure you get some kind of lotion or something on you quick. Ivy is never a fun experience. Trust me on that,” He joked as he led himself and Ran into the room with the other Nobodies. “And to answer your question, the plan is to watch and wait. Hopefully they leave themselves open for an opportunity to get our things back.” Inadi whispered back to him as they both ended up inside the cabin.

When the hooded figure known as Luke got his attention to eat outside he took that as his cue toe enter. Walking in and listening to the still arguing Nobodies about the group's initial fear of trying out the treats allowed him to pick up a seat near the table and waited for the events to really kick off. And kick off they did, at least in his head. As soon as he did he saw Mr. Cuddles walk out from the back of the cabin. A scowl appeared on Inadi's face to hide the hurt he had in his heart. Harper placed a hand on his shoulder and Inadi returned the gesture with a nod. “I figured as much.” He whispered back to the boy as he waited for the bear to state his case. Riley seemed just as hurt as he did, though she made it far more obvious than him. The bear dropped the cakes on the table in a rush, and one almost bounced out of the tray and onto the carpet. Looking up at Mr. Cuddles, Inadi forced a smile on his face. “Seems you still get too excited as usual. You always seemed to drop at least one or two of those things on the floor when someone ordered a dozen.” He joked as he pointed in the direction of the cupcakes.

When the bear threw his arms out for a hug, didn't move from his seat. The harsh words from Riley that made him walk away made Inadi disappointed. Not in the girl, but in himself. He had to agree and realized that many memories he had with the bear had to be brought into question now. Looking over to Riley, Lesley and Leila, Inadi could only shrug to them. “Traitors are usually the ones you least expect them to be. That's kinda the point of treachery.” He said, sending those verbal daggers in the direction of Mr. Cuddles, though he never looked him in the eye when he spoke.

Other Nobodies arrived and Inadi couldn't help but think he wasn't the only one who was going to end up being hurt by the end of this little meet and greet. So many of their former allies showed up that he had only heard about from the others and now they were revealed to be assisting the bastards in the hoods. Made him wonder what else was being hidden underneath their very noses over the last few months.

Finally the leader of the group arrived at the head of the table. Inadi recognized her immediately and gripped his spear tight. They continued trying to play coy and it only increased the annoyance in his mind. Then the question arose. And Inadi couldn't help himself. His laugh joined Riley, though his was more of a deep throated chuckled as he hid his face in his hand, his glasses shifting in the process. Looking over to Riley he shrugged at her. “And to think we thought this would be a serious sit down. In the end I suppose it was worth a good hike and nothing more.” He joked with Riley, his mood becoming far more enjoyable over the good humor he was just given.

The idea of joining them never even once crossed his mind, and their reason to ask made him even more apparent of their true purpose. They wanted to go home just like the group did and they were going to use the list for themselves. “So you bring us all the way out here to ask us to help you in a cause we are almost done with ourselves because you want the same thing we do. In that case this meeting wasn't made out of sheer curiosity,” Inadi said as he stood and looked over to Luke and the woman at the head of the table. “It was made out of desperation because you know you are going to lose.” He said as his smile disappeared and a serious look showed. Turning his head to Mr. Cuddles and the other Nobodies made his head shake.

Quickly pulling out a piece of paper, Inadi threw the newspaper headline on the cupcakes and stood as still as the trees did outside. “Was I just a way for you to get the Queen off your trail? Or was I just a way for you to get information about the list back to these guys so they could try to cut us off and beat us to the punch?” Inadi asked while his eyes began landing on the other Nobodies in the room. They all probably had done something similar to that. He and the rest of the humans trusted these people at one point, and here they were dining with the ones who had tried to kill them before. Some even making the food. Looking back up at Mr. Cuddles, Inadi slowly slid back into his chair with a smirk on his face. “Whatever the case is, let's just say I'm done feeding you information bear. You've been caught reaching into the cookie jar one too many a time there Yogi.” Inadi jabbed as he went back to staring at the deserts in front of him, each one making him more upset than the next.

Looking back to Riley again he shrugged. “Do you think we give them a little more time to plead their case or should we go help Japhet take out that stupid turtle dragon that brought us here. I think Kain wants to get into a little bit of a fight,” Inadi joked as he laughed to himself. Turning his head to Harper he smiled at the boy sitting next to him. “Though to be fair it might just be me.” A big toothy grin showed up on his face after that. Inside, Inadi wanted nothing more than to just tear the room apart with his frustration. He wanted out before he did something stupid that put the group in danger, and he did not want to start something they were not prepared for. Jasper's uneasiness coming back into his mind, he waited for Harper to continue the discussions. He just hoped they weren't for too much longer.
Oh man.......

Got the post fixed and will definitely continue to try and find ways to connect with other characters.
Shucks my bad Esp. I'll be sure to fix ASAP and I'll definitely look to be more vigilant in my reactions and other posts in the future.
