Luculent Reveries

"It's probably not the first time it happened."

Mimiru:<Downtrodden? You run a what I assume is a successful business.>

*Raven stands back and watches, annoyed at all the conversation going on that he has no idea of.*

T"I'm still not taking any. We don't even know for sure if they actually robbed anyone before us."

N"You just don't want to give me any because I have a dick."

*Nero is searching in the bushes for the key.*
========================================
Moogle<Just get this pom-pom batting psychopath away from me, kupo!>

"...Fine. Let's go find a fountain."

Mimiru:<A fountain? Why?>

"To help me get over the crushing diappointment of not being able to bat at a pom-pom.

Mimiru:<Should I be worried?>

Clegus: <What the-- do you really expect the key to be there? Let's go, guys. We still need to find Mimiru and Taiyo. Oh, yeah...>

*He bows to Raven, smiling*

Clegus: <Clee.>

*He walks towards the city*

N"Well, I don't know where it is!"

*Nero heads off to look for Donald.*
=========================
*Taiyo, Mimiru, Clee, & Raven meet at a fountain in the town square.*

Mimiru:<This weird guy again?>

"Which one?"

Raven: [Oh... it's those two?]

*Raven stares at them, not waving or anything, then looks away into the water in the fountain.*

*Nero is walks by an ice cream stand upon entering Miguel again. He notices a key glittering in the moonlight on the ground, right next to the stand*

=====

Clegus: <We wait for Nero now, I guess. Oh, by the way, these are Taiyo and... Mimi..ru, and this is Raven.>

N"I'm back, babe."

*Nero comes back, pocketing some Gil.*

N"So, what's the plan? Are we done earning Munny? Are we gonna hit the shop before we go, or just save up for now?"

T"We kind of still have to get another Navigation Gummi. But that Cielo guy's not back yet...."

N"Oh well. Things we need have a way of popping up somewhere or another."

*Cielo's Gummi Ship appears in Mimiru's hand.*

N"Kinda like that, actually."

Mimiru:<Is this a toy?>

*Mimiru pokes it.*

Clegus: <It's funny. Taiyo was acting like she had a brain before Mimiru joined the gang. Anyway, we should get going, we have Dream Cores to lock!>

???: <What, you weren't going to invite me?>

*The girl from earlier walks up to them*

???: <Heya.>

Clegus: <Um.. hi. Who are you?>

*Her Keyblade materializes in her hand and she waves at them with her free hand*

???: <Allina, nice to meet you!>

N"We can enlarge the Gummi Ship with a Keyblade, but it still needs a Navigation Gummi before we can go. New girl has a Gummi Ship with one installed, so we'll probably split into 3 groups this time. Or she can go on her own. I don't even really care."

*Mimiru kicks Clegus in the ribs.*

Mimiru:<I don't feel like spending money. Let's go with that three groups thing.>

*Clegus steps aside, dodging the kick*

Clegus: <Are you even listening? Allina and Nero have ships with Navigation Gummi, but to divide into 3 groups we still need yours to have it too.>

*Allina takes her Red Rose out of her pocket and throws it forward, pointing her Keyblade at it. She shoots a beam of light at the ship, enlarging it*

Mimiru:<Yeah, I'll take my chances being lost in space than wind up in a group with you.>

*After much bickering, the group separates into 3, disembarking in different Gummi Ships.*

~Allina, Thiera, & Raven~

*The trio skims over a small world that's mostly water, towards a serene tropical beach. Thiera holds out a hand towards Raven.*

T"Hello. I don't think we were properly introduced earlier. I'm Thiera."
====================================
~Nero, Taiyo~

N"I just HAD to get stuck with the annoying faux punk chick again."

*The pair had just been travelling in space for some time. What they now came across was not a world, but swirls of darkness & chunks of land. They were skimming past an entire mountain range that was just floating in oblivion.*

N"What in the world is this?"
===========================================
~Mimiru, Clegus~

*They were also skimming over a world that was mostly water. However, unlike the other world, they could not find a place to land.*

OOC: Atlantica is actually Tae's thing, I'm just getting us past the timeskip & world break.

"I'm not thirlled about being stuck with some psudo-goth, angsty teenager either."

=====================================================

"Why'd I get stuck with this asshole?"

Raven: <My name is Raven...>

*Raven looks out the window as he continues.*

Raven: <Where are we going, anyway?>

Allina: <T-This place... Erm, we'll be landing soon.>

=====

Clegus: <Ha, ha. Just land the ship already.>

*As the ship approaches the water, it fades away and a flash of light blinds them momentarily. When they open their eyes, they're underwater, inside some kind of narrow cave, with some light breaking in from holes on the ceiling. Clee's clothes have disappeared and he has a dark gray dolphin tail instead of legs and a black shell pendant around his neck. Mimiru transformed as well.*

Clegus: <What the-->

T"I...don't know. But there's some jungle on this island. We should land in there. Avoid any unnecessary questions."
===========================================
N"Cute."

*A massive beam of blue light shoots past them."

N"What on Earth was--? I can't control the ship!"

*Almost as if to demonstrate this claim, arcs of electricity shoot out of the controls, & they veer to the right, crashing on a chunk of land covered in snow. Nero picks himself up off of the floor.*

N"Are you okay?"

"Ye... yeah"

=====================================================

*Mimiru's lower half has been replaced with a shark tail and her top replaced with a black seashell bra.*

"Gah!"

*Mimiru crosses her arms over her chest*

"What the hell is this place?"

*Nero steps outside, taking note of a pipeline in the snow.*

N"Looks like it's some kind of steam heater...but it doesn't work anymore. Doesn't matter, look what's up ahead."

*He was pointing to a point where the snow abruptly ended & a desert began. Not too far beyond that was a massive tower floating in space, which looked like it was constructed from scrap metal twistead, heaped on, & forced together.*
==========================================
"It's the outskirts of Atlantica."

*The pair turn to find themselves face-to-chest with Euryale, in all of her undersea glory. In order to keep her assets effectively secured, she wears a bikini of sorts made of large, soft blue half-clam shells held together with ropes of kelp, which form a lacelike design. Her lower body is a dolphin-like tail, only with scales instead of blubber. It matches her bra.*

"Do you come from another world?!"

*She jumps--swims?--a bit, clearly excited.*
=========================================
*In the jungle, they find a large, partially-buried metal disc. The ship lands on it & Thiera gets out.*

T"That's odd...this place must have been an industrial city at some point. Judging from these trees, hundreds of years ago, even."

Allina: <It was a big machina city.>

=====

Clegus: <I.. guess? Who are you?>

*He smiles to her. A black glyph appears behind Clegus and Mimiru, expelling mist*

Clegus: <Not again!>

"That's a... mess?"

=====================================================

"I don't like this place at all."

*Mimiru's Keyblade appears and she readies to attack whatever appears.*

"How the hell am I supposed to fight like this anyways?"
