Winds Blown Differently

Blake unsheathed the 4 foot blade, which had a dark glow to it. "This should be easy."

Adalade said as she sat down, "I'm Adalade...."

<That was directed towards Adalade?>

Zero swallowed and felt his hands move to the door frame, his tattooed arms glowed slightly against the light. "My name is Zero Shinkō, I'm a...I was a gladiator, I've killed more men than I care to count, and I just finally managed to escape that old life, and I need a place where I can escape battle and live in peace" he said, for some reason just saying that felt like a challenge, but he didn't want to lie to this girl, probably because she was far too cute, probably because he knew he wouldn't be able to keep it up. "I seek sanctuary, if that's at all possible"

Minato laughed boisterously, "Y-you're kidding, right?" He faked wiping a tear from his eye as he looked between the pair, "Follow me, we'll go to the training room. No need to bust up the kitchen."

Ven looked at Minato with a tense scolding in his eyes, "Play nice. They could be your new allies."

Minato rolled his eyes, "Got it, chief." He said sarcastically. Minato's aura changed again, this time to Magician, a casual arcana, "I don't suppose, Doc wants to tag along?" Minato said inquisitively shooting Julie a winning smile.

Yukari walked up beside Adalade with a medical stand and the IV, "I know that you might not like needles... But, in your state, it's the only way we can get you something without killing you. Now, this might pinch a little..." Yukari held Adalade's hand steadily as she inserted the IV, "Now, stay still for a moment while I apply some magic. It'll speed up the process." She said sweetly as her hands began to glow a warm green hue.

Namine casually tucked her hair behind her ear and nodded, "I'll introduce you to Ventus. I'm sure he won't mind you staying at least for a short while." She turned her chair around and wheeled away from the door, "Follow me." She requested gently.

Julie said,"How about no." Blake grinned."Just wait..." I'm gonna kick your ass.
Adalade winced a bit when the needle entered her hand.

The homeless boy wandered after the blonde haired woman, flicking the door shut with his ankle. "Ventus?" He asked curiously.

"Jesus, touchy, touchy. I just wanted to talk." Minato laughed as his Arcana became the Chariot. He led Will to the Training Room and opened the control panel.

"I'm feeling lazy so we aren't going far." He activated the console and the room became Memory's skyscraper and the plaza that surrounded it. Minato slung the Corpse Rod over his shoulder as he smirked at Blake, "Let's see what you've got." Music began to pump into the room as Minato waited for Blake to make a move.

Blake rushed towards Minato, jumped into the sky, and he put a downward thrust... right beside the blue haired man. He vaulted forward as he crashed into a window. He let his body go limp as his soul parted with his body. Suddenly, every window then shattered, the shards forming into a large ball... which flung its way towards Minato.

<Im gonna start a community server in Minecraft on the 360. Anyone wanna help?>

<I'd love to, but my controller is a bit retarded, we'll have to see>

<..."Mettle", Halcyon. Not "Medal". "Test your mettle". I'm sure that people test metals and sometimes medals, but I doubt that was what you meant.>

Aleri's grin shifted from one side to the other as he tore his gaze away to look at the newcomers. "Are you two residents of the house down there? And do you know if they'll rent rooms?"

Rexial, however, put two fingers to the bridge of his nose. "Now, that was just bad. If you have to make puns, at least make them good. And since you apparently DO have to make puns, do 'em right."

<Woops, happens. XD>

Minato simply shifted his Persona to Abaddon and watched as the glass harmlessly shattered against his skin, "You're going to have to try harder than that." He laughed casually as he waited.

Blake then turned into a dark puple liquid, flowing his way behind Minato, and slicing his back with the now six foot katana.

Minato laughed as if he had been tickled, "Pitiful..." He snapped his fingers as his Persona became Alilat, he froze the liquid and swung through it with the Corpse Rod smashing the ice he created.

Nowi shook her head. "No, we don't live down there."

"We've been watching 'em, though, just to make sure they won't turn us down. Or turn us into corpses, and it seems like they do in fact take lodgers, and not just their lives!" Henry cackled again, though he ignored Rexial's criticism.

Nowi looked at Henry, surprised. "When'd you find that out?! And why didn't you tell me?!"

"I thought I sent one of the ravens. I didn't have the CAWs to tell you."

"Oh, is THAT what that bird was trying to do? I just shooed him away..."

"Oh, well that's your own fault!"

"I can't talk to birds, dummy!"

Blake reappeared by Minato, summoning a Dremora Lord. "Lucky shot." He then went in to do a low slice, and faked out at the last minute, slicing high.

Minato casually batted the young man away with the Corpse Rod, "You're good enough. Not as good as I was hoping... But, good enough." He hit the wall, dismissing the scenery, "Come on, we're going to go back to the others. I still have to test your friends. Hopefully, they're stronger."

"Oh?" Aleri raised an eyebrow. "They do that a lot? Hm... well, if you're thinking of asking for a place to be, the four of us should all go together. I believe they're less likely to turn down a group of four."

"And strength ain't lacking between the two of us!" Rexial asserted with a lightning-jab at the air. "If they try to off us, they're not gonna find it easy. And if you mean they like to test their guests' strength, so much the better!" He paused. "...You can talk to birds?" He looked at Aleri questioningly.

"...Admittedly, a spell to translate bird-speak into common language would be rather difficult. It's a particularly tricky language to work with..." He shrugged. "And you don't look like an expert on translation spells, so I'll assume that your ability is innate. What are your names? Mine is Aleri."

"An' I'm Rexial! Pleasure to meet you two."

Zero walked through the house, taking in the detail of each room, once almost asking 'where are your cells?' But managed to remember in time that the people that lived here weren't prisoners like he was. "Where's this Ventus guy?"

"My apologies." Namine laughed airily, "Ventus is my husband and leader of THTNW. You came at a good time. There are a lot of new people arriving." She smiled gently as she entered the kitchen and was greeted by a calm hello from Ven.

"So, another new recruit?" Ven said quizically, "What's your name?"

Yukari removed the IV and patted Adalade on the head, "Now that I've got you stabilized, you can get some food in your stomach!" She smiled as she set a simple sandwich down for Adalade, the portions being just enough for someone who was malnourished to handle.

Blake said,"Fine. Word of advice: DON'T try anything with Julie or else I'll shove this katana down your pi--nevermind, threats will get me nowhere. I'm sorry, I've been going through some stuff..."

Adalade ate some of the sandwich. After she swallowed <giggedy>, she said,"What is your name?"

Minato paused for a second dismissed the Corpse Rod then laughed, "Yeah... If you thought what I was saying was me coming on to her... You're sorely mistaken. I can read people... Robots, on the other hand? Way too difficult. I'll find my women elsewhere." He smiled cockily as he gave a nod of admonishment, "And yeah, don't threaten me. You REALLY don't know who you're f**king with." He said flatly turning and walking towards the kitchen.

------------------------

"My name is Yukari Takeba. It's nice to see you finally have the energy to talk." The young woman smiled kindly.

"Zero Shinkō, I'm a escaped gladiator seeking out a place of peace" the boy replied. "And what do you mean recruit?" He asked.

Henry's almost-creepy smile turned into something more like a grin...but not quite there. "Henry. Dark Mage...um, Sorcerer. From Plegia. And yeah, I can talk to birds. Mostly ravens. And crows."

The girl spun around. "Nowi!" she exclaimed. "Manakete."

As Fifeyux walked into the kitchen, she was followed closely by Diryax. Making her way to the back window she stared out towards the forest and sighed, "Looks like he's at it again...."

Having worn himself out against the tree, Lenox turned and slumped againts the tree, emptying the bottle.

Fifeyux fixed up a plate of food and handed it to Diryax saying, " Take this to him would you dear??

Sora: Huh? *looks out window* Oh, right...Leon. He's been like that ever since Marluxia through Xerna to somewhere. Really wish I could help somehow.

Riku: *sigh* Might be easier if Captain Asshole out there would get off his ass for something other than fighting random newcomers. I swear, if I got the chance I'd strangle him. As it stands, though, there's not much we can do. Sorry.

Sora: Don't worry about it. I'm gonna try talking to him. *jumps out the window...the CLOSED window*

Riku: *facepalm*

Skife finished his chips, and set his sights on the House. He jumped from the tower, hitting the ground and creating a crater. He walked slowly towards the house.
