“The stars here are totally different from the ones back home, aren’t they?” It was one of the very first things Aster noticed on his first few nights here. The constellations of home were familiar to him after so many nights on the road camping under the stars, but he hasn’t been able to find any of them here. He smiles over at the man next to him-- hopefully the guy doesn’t mind Aster’s chatty nature.

“I guess this is a chance to get familiar with a whole new set of stars, right? There’s probably a lot to discover... a whole sky full of patterns and constellations to be found. That’s pretty special, don’t you think?”

He’d been backed into a corner by the CPN’s, his wounds from the week prior finally getting the best of him-- though Lloyd had eventually listened to his father’s advice and allowed himself to rest, jumping into the fray like this now wasn’t helping the pain he was already enduring. His ribs ached, as did the various cuts along his arms and face that allowed blood to seep from his skin; raising his weapons defensively and planning his next move as quickly as he could.

Though, Lloyd wouldn’t need to act on his own this time, as a strong blast of magic cut through the beings before him; instinctively shielding his face from the light that came from the spell. At first, the brunette thought it might have been Kratos, or even Zelos who had found him.. but as he lowered his swords, he found a hooded figure before him instead.. and it was.. floating above the ground?

“A ghost..?!” he looked almost like the monsters back from Aselia, but.. there was still something very different about him that Lloyd couldn’t put his finger on. Still.. if this being saved him, then that must’ve meant.. “A.. are you on our side?”

“Hey, watch the-- OW! What the hell are you doing?!”

Susie wasn’t planning on going to the hospital that day, and probably wouldn’t have if Kris didn’t talk her into it-- her wounds from the fight she’d gotten into earlier weren’t that bad, and she’d taken care of worse plenty of times before. It was hard to say no to her best friend though, especially when they were that worried about her-- but Susie swore, as soon as she was getting out of the exam room she was in, she was going to kick Kris’s ass for making her sit through this.

“I thought this was a hospital, not a torture chamber! The hell’re you putting on me that hurts so much?!” with the amount of open cuts on her face and hands, the doctor that was helping was probably just trying to clean them out-- but the sensation was unfamiliar to Susie, which.. wasn’t entirely a good sign. She also hated most adults, so that wasn’t helping the poor man out very much.

“So this is the place, huh...?” What an odd building. Ed's only just arrived in the city, but a castle like this is way different from the architecture he’s seen so far. A little tacky in his opinion-- but the little girl did say he couldn’t miss it.

He knocks on the door, leaning back against the frame as he waits. He’s still not sure what he’s doing here, but he’s been on the road long enough to know he needs to chase every lead he can get his hands on. For all he knows, this guy could be some kinda phony, but he’ll never know unless he checks it out.

“Hey, does someone named Barry live here?” The person who answers the door... it can’t be him, right? He looks so ordinary. “Some weird little girl told me to meet with a scientist by that name.”

“If half the stuff she told me is true, I think we’re going to have a lot to talk about.”.

“Hey! Uh, a little help here?”

Just a few seconds earlier, Leon had been all confidence, assuring this guy that he could ‘totally make that jump’. Turns out skiing is a lot harder than he’d remembered, and he’d gotten a little too cocky with his stunts. It’s like the universe doesn’t want him to relax and enjoy some leisure time.

Luckily his reflexes are as sharp as ever, and he was able to grab the edge of the ramp before he fell-- but that still left him in a precarious position over a pretty steep drop. Don’t look down, Leon.

“As much as I enjoy hanging around, I don’t think I’d particularly care for the fall that would follow. Do you think you could lower something down...?”

“This spot appears to be safe for the moment.” It’s a small storage room-- mostly for supplies, from the look of things, but there’s no art stored in here. Hopefully for a little while, the monsters won’t find them. He stands away from the door just to be safe, regarding his companion. Hopefully this person isn’t intimidated by the shackles-- he knows they make first meetings a bit harder.

“If you’re injured at all, I have healing artes-- it might be best to rest up while we can.” There’s one more thing that catches his attention about this man, and that’s the patch and bright red robe he wears.

“...and if you don’t mind my asking, what is the insignia on your robe? I know someone who carries things with a similar design.”

What...happened?

The last she remembers, she was on the Starblaster. Taako, Magnus and Merle were fighting the Hunger, and they were ready to seal it away for good. She cast her barrier spell, and then... she’d woken up here.

What had she done?

There’s equal parts panic and relief when she spots a familiar face in Barry. Just Barry... where are the others? It hasn’t been that long since they reunited, and she’s worried he’s still angry, because why wouldn’t he be after all the things she’s done?

“Barry, are you all right? Please, just give me a chance, I-I think i can explain.”

She’d been here long enough to know how the city worked in a lot of ways, specifically that things inexplicably taken were completely out of reach and would eventually be returned. Apparently. However, she wouldn’t be where or who she was today if she’d ever listened when the advice was either “wait” or “don’t”

Besides! She knew everything there was to know about her ship and that included how to teleport back to it. That signal code was burned into her core! So what if she didn’t really know where this planet was? So what if she didn’t really have all the ideal materials or the correct power source! If everything only worked exactly one way then no one would try anything else!

So here she stood in a park on what was possibly the most ramshackle, bootleg teleporter on this side of the galaxy. Commands were keyed into the laptop and she stood on the small pad. The mast began to hum and crackle before a pulse of blue light washed out. Just as soon as the crescendo rose it was silenced, and before the look of disappointment could even hit her, it exploded. 

It wasn’t a terrific explosion, very minor all things considered. But it was enough to scatter a good portion of her away. It took her a moment to sway back onto her feet and notice that everything looked much bigger. Oh great. 

Glancing around, the closest person the less than a foot tall Emere saw was a jean clad giant. “Hey..! Hello! Can you hear me?” She started waving her arms frantically. “Can you see my phone?! Also do you have any food.”
