Jason's Room, past

Ray beamed."Don'tchu worried about that, Morgi, I can teach ya!" She hurried over to her bag, pulled out some pencils and a drawing pad, and came back, holding them aloft."Well, what wouldya like to draw?"

Stormchaser Kitchen

Rosa came, sniffing."<O Oh, that smells nice.>" She came into the kitchen, and when she saw Sen she smiled."<Oh hey, Sen! What're you making?>"

Jason's Room, past

-Jason chuckles, watching the two. He looks drawable.-

Stormchaser Kitchen, today

-Senshi turns.-

Senshi:~O..Oh! Hello, Rosa! Um...well...I just recently learned how to make...well, tea. Would you like some?~

-He sets out the kettle, along with the milk and sugar.-

Now Abandoned Illusion HQ

It seems that, even after the battle the other day when he was removed from this place, Constantin finds himself returning back to the old and now abandoned Illusion HQ, staggering around the now empty halls in a kind of spaced-out stupor.

Constantin: Blast it all...

Constantin leans against the wall, closing one eye and peering around the broken building with a dilated pupil.

Suddenly the silence is broken by a Noblewoman's Laugh, which causes Constantin to jump and go immediately on the defensive - bringing out his bagh nakh constructs and taking up a stance.

???: Oh ma petit prince, you're back! I thought we would never have a chance of finally be alone together~

A figure with long, black hair in Regal Ringlets walks out into the smatterings of moonlight filtering through the roof

Maria von Boehm: No need to be on the defensive, schön. Though I can understand why you'd would be so jumpy, even if you really shouldn't be even considering such indulgences - knowing what a sickly lad you are~

Constantin: Wait, how-

He is cut off by a sudden hug, Maria snuggling in to his clothes.

Maria: Mhmm~ You're just as huggable as I always thought you were~ Less boney than perceived.

Constantin snarls at Maria

Constantin: Give me a reason why I shouldn't attempt to rip out your throat.

Maria pouts at Constantin

Maria: No need to be so aggro, love~ But you should know that I will always be fiercely loyal to you Constantin~

A group of Illusionite stragglers start congregating in the faint moonlight, muttering and glancing at eachother as look towards Maria and Constantin.

Maria: We all are loyal to you~

Cons looks around, slightly amused and slightly bemused.

Constantin: So you all... Swear allegiance... To me? Am I hallucinating? What a dream and nightmare come true...

A murmur of agreement flows over the crowd.

Straggler #1: You had ideas, plans and visions.

Straggler #2: You could rouse people and orchestrate them effectively...

Straggler #3: You're ruthlessly efficient. That's what I admire about you, sir

Maria: See? We see you have the qualities and ambitions that some of the other members lacked...

Straggler #4: I followed Echo because she had an idea that I believed in, but she became soft and sanitized in the end. Throwing away her visions and ambitions to play cosy with those J-team assholes...

Straggler #5: We know you won't kowtow to their bogus bullshit, sir.

Constantin: ...

Const pushes himself off the wa and stands in the light.

Constantin: ... I see what you are asking of me.

Cons pulls out a small badge, and holds it up into the moonlight.

Constantin: ...Then I propose from that the ashes of the old titans, we rebuild and rise again like Ho-oh from the pyres. From this point on, we shall band together under the fires of a new dawn and work towards to goal of a brilliant and beautiful new world - one without the thieves, warmongers and deadwood that pollute and destroy it. Should it mean that we have to wipe the slate completely clean, so be it. A brave new world calls for us, and it calls to be one free of those who wish to exploit or destroy it's natural beauty - Like those violent thugs who call themselves the J-Team who justify their crimes as vigilante justice and peacekeeping. As I know some of you know all to well...

The is a deep growl from the collective.

Constantin: But alas, we are small, and we have nothing in the way of funding like the previous organisations had. We can work fast, but it will still take time before we can carry out any sort of world changing plans that we push. But from this day, we will work towards a glorious new world!

The reflection of the Flare badge gleams as a cheer sweeps through the posse.

Constantin: We refomed on this very night, as such, we begin working towards our goals if a beautiful word now. We shall start by finding a temporary spot to set up shop and begin building our organisation. So follow me.

Constantin turns towards the exit.

Constantin: We have a long way to go...

Airship

Salvador suddenly wakes up.

Salvador: No...

He rubs his face.

Salvador: Don't tell me it starts...

I'm having to learn to pay the price

Lockescape, past

Locke swallowed."Well, you wanted to see my reasons, and, as I assume you won't believe anything I say, maybe seeing them in here will change your mind."

They came up to a door, and Gilda turned to them, and said, "Brace yourselves." They stepped inside, into the realm of Fear.

The space was wide, and open, a courtyard.The shadows were all around them, they flickered in and out of shape..and they stretched...across the space, into the yard, and formed people, walking to and fro. Around the yard, wallpaper of fire adorned the place, but it moved like it was alive.

A bit far away, sat a two story house, kind of old looking, and even from here, Locke could see someone..a kid, alone on the top floor. A sense of dread filled his body."No, not this...please.."

Jason's Room, past

Ray smirked, and said "Fine, I'll show ya." She then begins drawing Jason's face, tracing the jaw, the hair..the nose..the eyes.. she gets lost, looking at his face..but that's not what she was imagining, as when she was done, she had drawn Marie's face.

Stormchaser Kitchen

Rosa smiled and sat down."<Biscuits?>"

Lockescape, past

Maria:Yeah...veeeery trustworthy...

Jason's Room, past

Jason:Eh...hehe, nice. You can draw Marie from memory?

Stormchaser kitchen

-Senshi blushes.-

Senshi:~Um well...no...I didn't know I need those...sorry.~

Jason's Room, past

-Morgi starts to scribble.- How about I draw you somethin' from my dreams?

-After a while, she produces what appears to be a long hall filled with doors.-

I think it's mah Mindscape. -She adds a woman in miko robes.- And that's Mariko.

Lockescape - past

Shinobi: A trust exercise, eh?

Tori: "Okay... This place is creepy..." -She notes Locke looking at the building, but hasn't seen the figure on the second story yet-

"What's with the house?"

-The Greninja nudges Locke slightly-

<You okay?>

Jason's Room, Past

"Oooh!" Ray peered closely at the drawing."Aaah, the secrets those doors must hold.." she then frowned."Who's Mariko?"

Stormchaser Kitchen

Rosa giggled."<I was just joking, Sen.>" She then takes a sip of the tea and her eyes widen."Thank you, Sen! It's delicious.>"

Lockescape, past

Locke took a deep, shaky breath."Yeah..um..That's the house my parents died in. He blinked, but the little kid at the window sill stayed the same. Thus, he ran towards the house.

Lockescape, past

Maria:Hey! Wait you!

-She runs after Locke, hand digging around in that bag of hers.-

Jason's Room, past

Jason:Wow...that's pretty good, Morgan. Heh...so that's Mariko. Wonder if Hikaru would show up in mine.

Stormchaser kitchen

-Sen takes a sip up his own tea, slightly surprised at how well he did. He blushes bright red.-

~Th-thanks Rosa...it's my first time making it.~

Jason's Room, Past

Morgi: Mariko is me 'n Jason's great great great...lotta greats gramma. I'm her reincarnation.

-She starts on another picture.- There's another place...

Lockescape - past

-Shinobi winces slightly at the thought, while Tori just looks a bit stunned-

Tori: "What?"

-They quickly follow Locke-

Shinobi: Are we the only ones on this team who's parents aren't dead, missing or antagonistic?

Lockescape

Locke said, without turning, "You do know that, since you're in a Mindscape, you can bend reality." Stairs fly across the area and form a step in front of him. He snaps his fingers and a handgun appeared in his hand. He held it tightly, and he quickly turned a corner, gun unsteadily pointed at flickering image of the kid.

"Turn around", Locke demanded, and gasped, as he saw the kids' face. It was the flickering image of a much younger Maria.

Stormship's Kitchen

Rosa nodded."<Awesome first try!>" She took some scones from the kitchen and brought them between the two, to serve as something to eat with the tea.

Jason's Room, Last night

Ray frowned."Wait, if you're a reincarnation.." she turned to Jason.."and you're possessed by the spirit of Hikaru.." her face paled."My goodness."

Good night guys

-Maria stops dead in her tracks, her hand closed around an object to throw in her bag.-

Maria:Ah...Why am...I here?

Jason's Cabin, past

-Jason blinks.-

Jason:I wouldn't call it possession, Kusaru was possession. Hi!aru is more like...

~A mutual agreement to coexist.~

Yeah, like that.

Stormchaser Kitchen, now

-Senshi blushes more.-

~Thank you. I was hoping you'd like it!~

Other places, now

-People exist.-

Aqua Resort

Sakura, Lyuri, Duke and Hikari are all gathered in a hotel lobby, the former drinking some tea.

"So, where do we go from here?" asked Lyuri

"Oh, oh! We could go to Hoenn! It's been a while since I've last seen dad and mom!" suggested Hikari

"Really? How are your parents like again?" asked Duke

"Well...

There's a few seconds of silence after Hikari finishes her speech, with Lyuri and Duke staring at her blankly.

"So..." said Duke, having been unable to understand a single thing

"Her mother is just like her and her father is the opposite and she really wants you two to meet them." said Sakura, nonchalantly drinking her tea.

"Oh." said Duke.

"And today's lesson is: Don't ask Hikari about her family." thought Lyuri, sweatdropping.

Jason's Room, today

-Morgi looks at her second drawing from last night. It features a red room with black and white checkerboard tile flooring, and a few comfy black chairs.-

Jason's Room, today

-Jason looks over his lil cousin's shoulder.-

Jason:So...this was in your dream too?

I'll be gone for a movie in a short bit. Though I will he back later. So I can still do this. :-)

Jason's Room

-Morgi nods.- This is the lobby. It's how ya get in. Kusaru has to take another way though, but Mari and Whisper watch it while I sleep.

I should be around unless something comes up.

-To Crochet-

So what you're saying is with this cloth mask built into the Leavanny suit I don't have to worry about having to get the gas mask out when dealing with toxins?

Crochet: -Nods-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Jason:So...that's your entry point? Interesting...kinda like the Gate for me...

-so, coincidentally, are these people!-

Aqua Resort

-Well, we have Lane training his team, or Maria doing the same in close proximity to each other. One just happens to have a Lillith and the other has a Mavel floooooon~. Take your pick.-

Aqua Resort

-Marvel is glompled!-

Joseph: Hello, Drifloon~

Tastes better on the way back down.

-Cassiopeia is also here. She looks incredibly nervous, and seems to be avoiding eye contact with anymon-

Adam: <Cassie?>
