Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

"Heh, I can only imagine how your parents are gonna react when they see how confident you've become and learn that you've set up all of your markers, like you said you would. As for me, you probably saw this coming a mile away, but..."

Future!Nicole grins at Niko before tousling his hair.

"I'm goddamn proud of you, Niko. Give your mom a hug for me, would ya?"

She flashes a smile at Sandra before tousling her hair as well.

"Same goes to you, Sandy. Keep on making me proud, the both of you."

Wanda smiles gratefully at Frigidus.

"I knew I could count on you, Frigidus! As for a meeting, well... I could send him a telepathic message about it. He can teleport, too, so you wouldn't need to worry about a long wait."

She proceeds to send said telepathic message to Ninten, unaware that he's actually outside the inn.

"Ninten, it's me, Wanda. I just spoke with Frigidus and he's agreed to restore your voice. We're at Goldshire's Inn, if you wish to meet with us now."

"Not at all. I've simply never met someone with crystal hair before. Call me Severus, by the way."

Severus extends a hand towards Vibril, then glances at Calvin.

"Hmm... I doubt even the dwarves of my realm could build such an advanced-looking automaton."

"Alright, got it. I'll wait."

Frigidus sighs in relief, before standing up from his chair and readying himself, stretching a little experimentally and breathing out.

"Just tell me when he's around, alright?"

Vibril just grins at Severus, looking a bit prideful of his "hair" and chuckling.

"Yes, my hair is pretty cool and sparkly, hmm?"

He smiles brightly, holding out his hand.

"Name's Vibril."

Niko grabs Sandra's hand, and looks surprised when he hears what Future!Nicole says. After she tousles his hair, he brightens up, happily smiling.

"Will do aunt Nicole."

He then looks at Sandra.

"Alright, let's go home."

Literally a second after Wanda sent her telepathic message, Ninten runs through the door, his groceries only barely staying in their bags, and stops at the table she and Frigidus are sitting at. His eyes are sparkling with excitement and his smile is huge. He then sets the groceries on the ground and hugs Wanda before she can even register that he's already here. He's not mentally saying anything, but his tight (but not painfully tight) hug shows his immense gratitude without an immediate need for words.

He then turns to Frigidus, looking hopeful and expecting.

"Sure I will ! Now let's go boi !"

She hold his hand and hug him before teleporting back home

Jules then suddenly appears not too far from Vibril and Severus...

Calvin notices Ninten running into the inn, but doesn't care enough to follow.

"One, two, one, two..." He mutters.

At a distance on a high elevation, there appears to be somebody in a cape, taking a look around the area.

On closer inspection it appears that the back of his hair is tied like a ponytail that flows down his neck area into a techy-looking shoulder/collar device, which is the same device projecting his cape.

He thinks to himself and gives a "heh".

(So I come here for a break. Let's see what there is around.)

Those who notice him would curiously never want to ask for his name. (Saying something like "Hello there!" or "hey, caped guy!" would be a result)

Goldshire

Asura is wandering around the town idly. He looks up and sees the caped person but doesn't say anything about it.

Future!Nicole bids farewell to Niko and Sandra, then spreads her dragon wings and flies off.

"Trust me, you'll be the first to-oof!"

Despite being caught completely off-guard by Ninten's sudden arrival and subsequent tight hug, Wanda nonetheless hugs him right back without hesitation, smiling.

"Heh, you're quite welcome, Ninten."

She glances at Frigidus.

"Good news, Frigidus: you won't have to wait long for him."

Severus proceeds to shake Vibril's hand.

"It would be difficult for me to not notice that. It's a rare occasion, meeting someone with crystalline hair."

Upon noticing Jules' arrival, he greets her with a nod.

"Hello there."

He then glances at Calvin, should the robot be close enough to hear him.

"Did you say something?"

He doesn't seem to have noticed the airbourne caped newcomer, due to being inside an inn and all.

Frigidus nearly chokes in surprise upon seeing Ninten appear out of nowhere, his mouth hanging open just a little, but the albino quickly gathers his bearings, looking serious.

"Alright, I'm ready... but, Wanda, mind stepping back a little? I don't want to hit you."

Vibril shrugs a little as he finishes the handshake, and is clearly about to speak up... and then Jules appears, making the man jump up with a yell, staring at the lady in surprise and blinking when he ends up sitting down, now noticeably tense.

"Teleportation? Ugh, I hate it when people suddenly teleport near me! For all I know, I'm about to get kidnapped!"

Niko is slightly caught off guard by the sudden hug, but he doesn't seem to mind it at all.

He is then teleported back home, map safely in his pocket.

Ninten, upon seeing that Frigidus requires a little room, steps away a little from Wanda, the table and the groceries. He nods to signify that he's ready.

"Whoa, easy there. I'm no kidnapper. Quite frankly, I have no idea who you two even are, or why I'm back in this place again."

Jules then notices Vibril's rather shiny hair.

"...Your hair looks like it's made of some kind of jewel."

"Oh, I didn't say anything..."

The caped man above would take notice of everything going on.

(This is an odd place. People of different kinds... it must be a dimensional nexus, right?)

With a faint flicker, he's no longer on the top of a tall house, instead now on the ground, looking around for company perhaps?

Either way, others wouldn't want to ask or inquire for his name in any form if they notice him.

Asura, noticing that the man is now on the ground, decides to find out more.

"Hey, ponytail! Did you get stuck here too? Or are you someone who just decided to be here?"

Seeing as Ninten had stepped away from her, Wanda nods to Frigidus.

"Don't keep him waiting now, Frigidus."

"Vibril, calm yourself. I doubt that everyone capable of teleportation wishes to abduct you without warning."

Severus turns to Jules.

"I apologize for Vibril's sudden outburst, miss. Given that I've only just met him, I wasn't anticipating it myself. As for my name, it's Severus."

He gives Calvin an odd look.

"Oh? I could have sworn that I heard you uttering something."

When Ninten steps back, Frigidus breathes out, holding out his hands and opening his eyes, a strange and bewildering aura now becoming apparent, radiating out of his body like a beacon... possibly enough to take others' attention.

"Ars..."

The aura begins to pulse and surge, and others might start to feel a bit uneasy around Frigidus, the air around him now twisting unnaturally, his robes and hair now just floating about as if he is deep within water.

"Vivonis!"

As he utters out the last words, the aura would surge and blast out, probably hitting Ninten, who would feel a bit light at first, but... he would feel something tingling around his throat, as if something missing there had been put back, and in perfect condition.

"I'm... erm, Vibril. And, yes, my hair is made of crystal."

The teal-haired man quickly bites down on his lip, quickly repressing the 'duh' sound, as well as the temptation to roll his eyes due to how plain obvious his crystal hair is.

"Who are you?"

He just crosses his arms and winces at Severus, shaking his head.

"I'm just... I'm just a bit paranoid, okay?"

"Calvin Riker."

"Jules Remington-Ankou's my name. And, well, it's just that I've never really seen someone with crystal hair before."

The caped man turns his head to the muscular guy, and replies coolly, with his arms at his side.

"Just having a holiday around here, really. Kinda here to relax from my normal routine."

He gives an internal sigh of relief.

(He called me "ponytail". That's good to hear.)

Either way, he takes a glance around, pausing his glance as he notices people in the inn. He's... surprisingly not too surprised about the man with gem hair. Considering that this guy has cape hair, gem hair isn't a big surprise for him.

(That's pretty cool. Seems to be people from other dimensions, right. Eh, got nothing against any of them anyway.)

He turns his head towards the robot Calvin and greets.

"So, hey."

Again, there shouldn't be any asking for the caped person's name.

Asura glances over at the people inside the inn before turning back to the cape guy.

"Vacation, huh? I don't know why you'd want to take a vacation in a place like this."

Ninten does look al ittle nervous as things start to twist and turn around him, but he doesn't move a muscle. He gets hit by the blast of aura and, taken by surprise, almost falls over. He actually has a bit of a hard time keeping himself balanced now that he feels light in his head.

Once he starts feeling normal again, he starts to feel the tingle and snickers.

"H-hey now, my throat's all itchy. Is that norm-"

He halts what his speaking when he realizes that he's speaking. He puts his hand on his throat as he glances down in disbelief. He tries to make a sound again.

"Aaaaaahhhhh...", he says, as if he was at the doctor's office. His disbelieving expression at hearing his voice slowly turns into an expression that's somehow even happier looking than the one from before.

"I... I can talk...I can talk!"

He then suddenly has a joyous freakout, running around the table, Wanda and Frigidus.

"I can talk! I can talk!"

He pauses for a second.

"Wow, my voice sounds scratchier than before."

Beat

"AWESOME!!!"

"Hey. I don't know what his problem is," Calvin replies, "But I guess I'll call you Kaparu."

It appears that the caped person could be aware of the nature of the place, and calmly replies with a calm gesture.

"It appears to be less hostile than where I normally work at, that's for sure."

Either way, he responds to the robot as well.

"Nice to meet you."

(That's a relief too, he called me that.)

Wanda can't help but giggle as Ninten celebrates the return of his voice, then levitates a glass of water into his hand before offering it to him.

"Perhaps this might help your throat a little."

She flashes a smile at Frigidus.

"Again, thank you for this, Frigidus."

"A pleasure to meet you, Jules."

Severus turns to Vibril.

"Don't worry, should anyone attempt to capture you, I'll ensure that they fail."
