Xyla and Sora strolled down the icy paths of the famed snow city. Xyla took in a fresh breath of air, and sighed happily. "Home sweet home," she said cheerfully. "Haven't been back in quite a while! I haven't seen my parents, either. You know, my parents who live in Elrand and not Oplyse because that just makes no sense, haha, where did you get that idea, they live in Elrand, of course." Sora twitched. "Um. Yeah." They continued down the path in silence. Sora, because she was deep in thought about deeply thoughtful matters and having, well, deep thoughts. And Xyla, because she was replaying the scene of Riche putting on his shades coolly over and over in her mind.. (and trying to be aloof, of course) "You know," Sora said after a while of silently tramping upon the pure white snow. "It's great that the art shop is in such a straightforward direction. We haven't made any turns yet!" Xyla started. Or, rather, stopped. "We're going to the art shop?" "WHAT!" Sora screamed. "Well, duh!! Where are you leading us? " Xyla stared at Sora blankly. "My.. house..?" "I told you back on the ship that we were going to meet Mr. Mysterious Ninja Man Austin slash Kyousei! REMEMBER??" "Slash? THEY'RE GAY?? No, I don't remember, but...THEY'RE GAY??" "GAH!!! Just shut up and have the darn flashback already!!" [XYLA'S FLASHBACK MOMENT]"Battle, lalalalala. RICHE WAS REALLY SEXY. Get money LAter. Lalalalala we're meeting the most lalalala ninja man lalalalala Kyousei lalala," Sora said, basking in the sea breeze as she sipped some Bobas of Eternity. The sunny day made her feel energized and bubbly. "Yes," Xyla said, with evident enthusiasm, as she repeatedly applied sun screen onto her cheek thoughtfully. "Since the lala meeting's at your lalala home, you'll have to go there lalalala." "Of course," Xyla nodded, producing a pair of shades from seemingly out of nowhere. Putting it on, she stared aloofly into the blue sky, as if challenging the glare of the sun. [/XYLA'S FLASHBACK MOMENT]"WTF!" Sora exclaimed. "That's not what happened!!" [SORA'S FLASHBACK MOMENT]"That was a tough battle! I still can't believe we beat Riche! We'll go claim our money from the oh-so-sexy(not) Avlis later. Right now, we should meet the Mysterious Ninja Man Kyousei!" Sora said, basking in the warmth of the candle as she sipped some English tea, shivering in the damp cold. The untimely hurricane made her feel sick. "Yes," Xyla said, with evident enthusiasm, as she repeatedly poked her squishy cheek thoughtfully. "Since the important meeting's at your hometown, you'll have to lead us there." "Of course," Xyla nodded, taking out her reading glasses. Putting it on, she started reading the Tome of Caelum, challenging the odd grammar of the olden times. [/SORA'S FLASHBACK MOMENT]Xyla twitched. "I could have sworn... hmm... er, well, anyway. So. Where's Ninja Man?" "He lives next door to your local Art Shop! Weren't you paying attention??" Sora demanded. "Where's our local shop? Ah, here we are." Sora gasped. "You actually found the local art shop!? I thought you didn't know where it is!!" "Local art shop??" Xyla demanded, turning around. "Where??" "But tha-" Xyla twitched. "Whatever the case, my house is right there!" She pointed to a nondescript, two-storied house. "But th-" "We'll look for the local art shop late-" "NO, LOOK!" Sora yelled. "YOU LIVE NEXT TO THE ART SHOP! YOU'RE KYOUSEI THE MYSTERIOUS NINJA MAN'S NEIGHBOR!" Sora pointed to the house two doors away from Xyla's. On the door is a sign, in bright red letters: " MYSTERIOUS Ninja Man Kyousei Lives Here" ".........." " So mysterious."

Despite the fact that her gut was telling her that knocking on the door was not a good idea, Sora did so anyway.
The door swung open. Mysteriously. A few sakura petals flew out (notice they are sakura petals, not cherry blossoms), despite the fact that they were indigenous to Wendel and couldn't grow in Elrand's climate.
Xyla clapped. "Oho, how mysterious!"
Sora groaned. "You're not making this any better! And why the heck do we have to deal with some ninja guy, anyway? We escaped fine by ourselves..."
"Mysterious ninja guy, remember!" called someone from inside the house mysteriously.
"Oh. Sorry. Mysterious ninja guy, right." Sora paused. "Hey, wait! Are you Kyousei?"
There was a poof, and a man completely clothed in fashionable black that did nothing to blend in with the whiteness of Elrand materalized in front of them mysteriously. "I prefer my full title, Mysterious Ninja Man Kyousei," he whispered seriously, his hands doing mysterious hand seals.
A lone zither could be heard sounding in the distance as a cold wind swirled by.
Sora shifted uncomfortably from foot to foot.
"So, uh...you're one of the guild members?"
"Actually, I'm a double agent for the Overlord but I'm definitely going to cross him sooner or later because my love for Kata will override my loyalty to Ater and ultimately cause me to join the forces of good and sacrifice myself in some dramatic mysterious way which will definitely involve a carrot that was once a snowman's nose and the moon slicing in half in the background like in Steel Samurai."
He instantly got mobbed by lawninjas for plagarizing Phoenix Wright. Xyla tapped her cheek thoughtfully.
"Why not...a carrot that a rabbit had nibbled on instead of a snowman's nose?"
"That would defeat the whole purpose of the thing!" Kyousei responded indignantly, throwing off the lawninjas in a mysterious manner. "There's a huge difference between the two!"
"Oh." Xyla nodded. "I see, you have a point. But...with a carrot a rabbit had nibbled on, you can throw it and the parabola of the throw would be vastly changed."
"Perhaps, but...with a snowman's nose, you would be able to draw a message in the snow with your last dying breaths," countered Kyousei mysteriously. Xyla frowned.
"Hmm...but what if the rabbit had nibbled on the side of the carrot?"
Kyousei inhaled sharply, and quite mysteriously. "Why, that changes everything!"
"Are we going to stand outside in the cold talking about carrots or are you going to invite us in?!" Sora finally exclaimed, waving her arms around. Kyousei blinked mysterious in surprise.
"Oh, right. Come on in. Mysteriously."
Sora twitched. "Actually, I don't really want to come in anymore. I think I'll just go."
She walked off. Xyla and Kyousei stared after her (in the ninja's case, mysteriously), then turned back to each other and started arguing about carrots once more.
[ XD I have no idea if it really changes the parabola of your throw if you throw a nibbled on carrot or not. ] [ And. Uh. I'm going to wander the city, and more or less likely I will bump into Haku and Kai. Mmmmk? ] [ And Xy, you can deal with Kyousei. T_T; He's much too mysterious for the likes of me ]

Aizaku took the longer path that appeared out of nowhere and decided to go through for there weren't many people that took that path. And in a few days or so.... Aizaku appeared in the city of Elrand and began to search for a bank to withdraw money from.

"Her behavior is mysterious," Kyousei remarked after Sora had left. "And as I am master of all things mysterious, I most certainly must look into that. Come in, come in, no need to close the door, it¡¦ll close by itself most mysteriously." "As Xyla walked into Kyousei¡¦s mysterious house, the doors mysteriously closed behind them. "Why was there a mysterious black figure hiding behind your doors?" Xyla asked. "Is he going to go out of your house?" Kyousei glared. "YOU SAW NOTHING!" "..uh. Sure." "First things first," Kyousei said after he had poured some mysterious tea for both of them. "Why have you come to my mysterious home?" Xyla, holding her nose, pushed the mysterious tea away from her, trying hard not to touch the foul substance. It was called MYSTERIOUS tea for a reason. "I¡¦m not sure, actually," she started hesitantly. There was a brief and awkward silence. "Yeah," Xyla said, as if the Senate had finally reached the conclusion that she had absolutely no idea why she was there. ¡§I really don¡¦t know. Er, Sora probably does, and she might have told me once upon a time, but I don¡¦t think it¡¦s particularly important, lala, don¡¦t you think? She probably won¡¦t be back for some while, so, er, do something mysterious!¡¨ "Ah! I have just had a brilliant revelation!" Kyousei announced rather pompously. "Since you¡¦re here, why not learn the enigmatic and transcendental art of... becoming mysterious??" µÞµÞµÞµÞµÞµÞµÞµÞµÞµÞµÞµÞµÞµÞ "Wow! I look so mysterious!" Xyla exclaimed as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Unfortunately, Austin had ran out of mysterious black ninja suits, so Xyla had to make do with a black bathrobe. It was more her style, anyway. ¡§But first!" Kyousei exclaimed. "You must prove yourself worthy of the mysterious carrot-ninja-ness." Xyla gasped dramatically. "What sort of test must I go through??" Kyousei gave Xyla a dramatic and mysterious look. "Who is the most sacred of all snowmen with noses?" he pressed with an air of mysterious urgency. "It is Plue, most respectable of all creatures with a carrot-like nose." Xyla said. There were numerous thuds as lawninjas tried to jump through the windows and found that it was not, in fact, was easy as it looks in movies. "You¡¦re good," Kyousei smirked. "But can you answer this? What was the original color of carrots?" "Purple, as it was Caelum¡¦s favorite color ¡V though few have made the connection, carrots have been prevalent since the year 0 AC*, as it was first mentioned in the Tome of Caelum as Purrots. Due to the fact that purple carrots no longer exist, no one has made the connection between Carrots and Purrots¡K other than we of the Order of the Idolatrous Carrots, of course." Kyousei was rather shocked to find that Xyla was a fellow brethren of the OIC** as well. "But.. can you answer the final question??" he asked dramatically. With mysterious flair. "Why is the carrots we know... orange" "It all started from the great Carrot Smuggle Event of 839 AC... finding that their smuggled boxes of Purrots were about to be discovered, Group A, the watchers of the smugglers quickly signaled Group B, the actual keepers of the purrots to cook the carrots on the range and hide it among the food... Group B misinterpreted the signal as color the purrots orange and hide it among the food... and thus, orange purrots were created." Kyousei gasped. "The sacred passage from the Carrot Patriarchal Text of Eternity, word for word! If you can recite the OIC's Official Rite of Membership Passage*** so well, I no longer have any doubts as to your identity as a brethren of the OIC. I will now teach you the Art of Mysterious Ninjaness. Watch, and learn mysteriously." The student and master bowed. Mysteriously. Meanwhile, elsewhere in Elrand..... ((Yeah. I am just too lazy to roleplay. So you peeps go and rendezvous somewhere. And then Sora can come back to pick me up. And by then, I'll have been done with my training... This was so random. XD I think Sora's right, there IS something wrong with me today. )) Footnotes! -------------- * I¡¦m sorry. I have a thing for air conditioning since office assigned that job to me on Career Day. After Caelum, if you will ¡V however, since Caelum is the supreme god of all existence, there is no Before Caelum, as that is, technically, not quite possible. Therefore, life on FRP started the year 0 AC¡K ** Oh I see. *shot* I¡¦m sorry for the puns I keep spitting out! XD All I¡¦ve been doing is randomly insert puns these days.. it¡¦s not my fault.. our school¡¦s announcements paper is called the Bull Sheet. Because our school mascot is a bull. Har har har. *** The OIC isn't particularly a group of smart people. Alas.

(T_T the first time I wrote this I accidentally closed the browser. COCKBLOCKED! Sort of. Grr.)
Sora strolled along, hands in her pockets as she enjoyed the cool air. She wasn't paying much attention when abruptly a mob of lawninjas jumped out of nowhere, all of them with bumps on their foreheads.
"But I haven't plagarized anything!" she protested as they advanced on her. "Yet."
They came at her all the same. After a long and grueling fight, Sora managed to fight them off. Sheathing her longsword, she wiped sweat from her forehead, shrugged, and continued on her way.
A while later she crossed paths with a tall man with astonishingly nice looking hair. It was so nice-looking that Sora couldn't help but stare at it; it was just so NICE looking! It was worth calling shmexy. It was so distracting, she couldn't help but notice nothing else but his hair. "Hello," he greeted her. "Do you know if there's a bank around here?"
"I don't know, I just got hair - I mean here." Sora tried not to stare, but couldn't help it. "Yeah...sorry..."
The man nodded. "That's fine. Thank you all the same."
"No problem, hai - I mean sir." Sora grinned awkwardly. The man smiled, and they parted ways.
Sometime later, she met another stranger. This one was dragging along an unconscious young man through the snow. Sora stared at this man's hair, too - it was silver-blue, and merited a stare, although it wasn't as shmexy as the man who had been looking for the bank. "Hello," he said pleasantly, switching his grip on the unconscious man's foot (by which he was dragging him through the snow).
"...Hi..." Sora dropped her gaze to the comatose man. He was wearing nice armor, but his cape was in tatters, and had at one time been quite gaudily colored, but now had faded to grey. The man nodded politely. "Have we met before?"
"I...don't think so." I probably would have remembered you, Sora added mentally. "What brings you to Elrand?..."
"Oh..." The man shrugged offhandedly. "This and that..."
Sora tried not to stare at the man he was dragging, who was currently face-down in the snow and snoring. "Um...vacation, huh?"
"You could say that." The man nodded, and tipped his head respectfully. "Good day."
"Have a...good...time."
The next time she heard someone coming her way, she unsheathed her sword and ran up against the wall. When the person turned the corner, she grabbed him or her and held her sword up to his or her neck.
"All right, what's your quirky personality trait?! Shmexy eyebrows? You drag an unconscious baby around?"
"Eeeeeek!"
Sora dropped her sword in astonishment. "Kata? What the deuce are you doing here?"
Kata flailed, and tripped into the snow. "Mmmmngh," she said through a mouthful of ice.
Sora picked up her sword and sheathed it, yanking Kata up. "Why aren't you at home? Knowing you, you've probably been in like five accidents already..."
"Twenty-three." Kata smiled sheepishly. Sora rolled her eyes. "What was the sword for?!"
"I thought you were another weirdo!" Sora scowled. "There seems to be a lot of them around Elrand these days...honestly, what is the population coming to?"
Kata ignored this statement, which was what she usually did when she heard something she didn't get. "Where's Xyla?"
Sora groaned and brushed snow from Kata's arm. "She's talking to the Mysterious Ninja Man about carrots."
"Who?" Kata asked, confused (as usual).
"Nevermind! Um, what are you here for?"
"My aunt sent me on an errand. Do you by any chance know where the art shop is?"
"............" Sora began to twitch. ".......Don't tell me you need to visit HIM, too!"
"Who?" Kata stared, perplexed. Sora started banging her head on the wall.
"I - hate - plot - twists," she muttered. "Gahhhh!" Kata looked on at her for a while, but she didn't seem to be letting up, so she shrugged and walked off. "I wonder where the art shop is?..." she wondered aloud to herself, wandering off.
[ XD Those lawninjas are the one that banged into Mysterious Ninja Man Kyousei's house. And yeah. I just met all you guys, but....we'll really meet up later. XD I just wanted to do a post like this where I thought you were all insane. Which you are. Seriously. ]

Sora finally found her way to a bar. As per the usual bar statutes, there was no bartender, so Sora wound her way through the scattered tables and hopped the counter, taking out a dirty glass and rag so that when people talked to her she could be cleaning it in a most stereotypical manner.
As if on cue, the door creaked open, letting in a shaft of cold sunlight that fell on some of the bar patrons. They groaned at the light as a man made his way into the bar.
Sora eyed her newest patron. In the poor light of the bar, it was hard to tell, but he seemed to be a main character. He pulled up a stool to at the bar and sighed heavily, running his fingers through his dark hair. "A happy drink," he said, flicking a coin over. Sora whirled around and pulled out the correct liquids and mixed the drink, sliding it down the counter to him. "Nah, keep the coin. On the house," she said sympathetically, building up the usual "sympathetic-bartender" image.
The man took the coin back and drank the drink in one gulp, signaling for another one. Sora raised an eyebrow and started mixing another. "Rough day?"
"You wouldn't know the half of it." He drank this one down too, and signaled for more, but Sora was ready this time. She slid five down and put her elbows down on the table, propping up her head. "Stressed out, huh? What's your name?"
"Shinji." Shinji massaged his temples and sighed. "Gods, what I wouldn't give for a vacation. Know any peaceful places round these parts?"
Sora tapped her cheek thoughtfully, sliding him another drink. "Fata Lake's not too bad. And Rhumetown is pretty quiet."
"Thanks." Shinji yawned widely and Sora could have sworn she'd caught sight of some pointy incisors, but told herself it was trick of the light.
Only those touched by demons had those kind of teeth...
[ you can hold your alcohol, right Alex? And that "vacation" thing wasn't you being a noob, it was you looking for places to like mess with, or at least that was what I was trying to convey. And uh. Haku should be entering soon. I'll RP that too ]

Omg telepathy! When I read that I figured out what ya meant right away. (Is quite serious) Does that mean I can break off from your little "troupe"?
You wouldn't know half of how much I can take... Yes I drink, but only those little chocolate one with the alcohol inside. I SWEAR I NEVER ATE A WHOLE BOX OF THOSE BEFORE! *shifty eyes*

Shinji was downing his tenth drink and Sora was fixing another one when something banged into the door. They both stared at it (them being the only clearminded people in the whole room).
The noise was followed by a load of swearing. Sora could have sworn she heard "my bunions!" mixed in there somewhere. There was an explosion, more cursing, and the door swung open slowly (slightly sagging on the hinges now).
Framed in the light of outside was a familiar face. And another one facedown in the floor. Sora felt herself start to twitch.
She should have known. Two more main characters, she thought to herself, fixing more glasses. "Fancy seeing you...two again!" she said to them as the disgruntled celtic guardian - that is, the disgruntled man dragged his companion through the bar (knocking over a few chairs) and picked up the unconscious man, throwing him on a table.
Now even Shinji's interest was caught. He and Sora eyed the man to see if he would wake up at the impact.
He didn't.
The other man rolled his eyes and pulled up a stool at the bar. "Fifteen happy drinks. Just in case. What'll the bill be?"
"Nah, it'll be on the house." Sora turned to fetch the glasses. When she turned back, the man raised an eyebrow at her. "You sure about that?"
Sora shrugged. "Yeah, this isn't even my bar. What's your name?"
"Haku." Haku scowled. "And what a day it has been."
"You and me both," mumbled Shinji, pausing in the middle of downing a drink to say so. Sora slid a few drinks down and raised an eyebrow. "How about sleeping beauty over there?"
Haku sighed heavily. "I really don't know."
Sora and Shinji looked at him, prompting him to continue.
"It's a long story. By the gods, is it always so cold here?"
Sora shrugged. "Hey, I'm just visiting. I wouldn't know. What are you going to do with all those drinks?"
Haku finished drinking one of the ones he'd reserved for himself and toasted her ironically, slamming the glass down and taking a full one. He swiveled on his stool, stepped down, and went over to the unconscious man. Pinching his nose, he wrenched the man's mouth open and poured the drink down.
...
Nothing happened.
Haku sighed and turned, grimacing slightly. "That's what. Uh, a few more drinks, please..."

'No being on this accursed planet could be such a fabulous actor..'
"I guess this unconscious oaf isn't a brilliant Atraan actor but a plain fool..one with a very bad fashion sense.." Haku had let that slip out in a muttered tone, and some particularly keen ears had picked up some particularly key words in that statement.
After about 20 rounds of this "happy drink", there was still no sign of consciousness in the man who was lazily sprawled across the table. Sprawled in a very ungraceful position. The only reaction Haku got was a delirious smile that played across the man's slumbering face.
"I suppose the drink holds up to it's name.."
"In all my years of (counter-hopping) bartending, I've never seen someone whose had such a lack of response to this much liqour.."
"...If he ever wakes up I would like to have a drinking contest.." said the gloomy man, perhaps the only drinker who had his wits about him.
'Well. What shall I do now.. I don't suppose I can just leave him in this state..'
Haku's answer quickly came to him and he did what he thought was best in that type of situation. He slapped the man across the face, similar to how he would've been slapped if he had touched Haku's Charizard.
His face lolled about lazily. (loll'd)
Haku raised his hand again, thinking that the left side might get him a better response.
'Perhaps..he has been impaled enough for one day.'
'Oh? You think so?'
'I do recall there were some generously shaped rock that you traversed over casually.'
'I suppose more hitting wouldn't do much good..'
'They were boulders, in my book.'
...
While Haku had momentarily spaced out into a place that was unbeknownst to the the two others, Shinji had began to ponder about what this Haku had to do--moreover what he had intended to do if the sleeping man had turned out to be an Atraan.
The make-shift bartender stood there, cloth in hand, polishing a mug absent-mindedly, wondering how she got stuck with such an odd bunch, and what kind of mysterious mysteries Xyla was being exposed to and the mysterious ninja man's mysteriously mysterious house.
'Oh! Uh, Volt, would you mind sending a shock through my hand?' 'How strong?' 'Knowing this bafoon..enough to awaken the abominable snowman, I suppose. Oh, and don't make it obvious..if possible.'
Haku nonchalantly placed his hand over the sleeping idiot's heart, and he could feel the web of energy surge through his fingertips..
There was a reaction, and soon enough the unconscious figure had jolted himself up in a jerky motion, and continued right off of the table, landing on the floor and tipping over said table in the process.
His hair was standing on end, as well.
He stood up, looked around, took in his surroundings, and then proceeded to sit down and order a round of shots.
"heyyyyy...do i know u guyzzzzzzz?" he asked with a dumb smile pasted on his face.
"..." Haku was dumbfounded. "..." Sora felt that she was, unfortunately, in the presence of another main character. "State you name" declared the dark-haired man with authority, all the while not breaking his intent stare at the now-awake-yet-drunk fool.
"ohh mee? they call me keii~" "..." "..." "Keii is it..well this is truly an unfortunate day for you, as it will SURELY BE YOUR LAST-- "..." "..." AS THE REIGNING DRINK CHAMPION OF THIS BAR!"
