(OKAY GUYS. Just a quick few things I forgot to mention. Please follow this rp so that y'all will know when a post is made, and also if someone doesn't post for a while just let that person know. On with the rp!)"I hope you all amuse me..."Roxas was already up in this fine morning in Asnia. Usually his brother woke up first, however the sounds of his father working always woke Roxas right up. He wanted to see the cool new weapons that were being made. He swung around downstairs, said hi to his mother, and ran right outside to greet his father at the forge. "Hey dad!"The father chuckled, and showed Roxas a rather fancy looking sword. "This here is made out of Orichalcum. Pretty deadly. Why don't you call your brother down to see?"Roxas chuckled, and slipped into the front door. "NERD-""Roxas!" The father scolded."...Ventus! Dad wants you to wake up and come downstairs!" he turned right back around. He expected Ventus to be up anyway... he did after all, put a spider on his pillow. If Roxas had a watch, he would check it. "I give it three seconds." he mused to himself. 

 

Meanwhile, another page in a storybook was currently scrambling to get ready for his own day. This man was Corvo Attano. He was to adopt from an orphanage that day; and unfortunately he had just gotten back from a rather deadly contract he just completed. Escorting a messenger through a dungeon. How bad could it be? He currently was living in an inn, however for legal purposes he bought a little cottage like home next to the inn and some farmer and her magic student son. One of the maids was fixing him up."Corvo, you look like a mess."I know, I know." He ran a hand through his hair. "Look, I gotta go. See you soon.""Corvo!"He turned around. "What?"

The maid sighed. "You have blood on your face." The man sighed and just licked his thumb to wipe the blood off. He just then hurried out the door to go to the orphanage. He didn't want to be late. 

"Alright. Well, let's head over there now, he must be worried all by himself. Plus, I don't want marluxia stopping in for the night before he heads back and finding him by chance." He glanced to Roxas. He looked a bit shook up. "You okay bud? If you need, you can stay here. Tails and I can go get him."

Komaru and Makoto

 

Komaru smiled sweetly at Clementine when she asked and hugged her gently.

"Of course I can Clementine! We're friends after all, right?" Komaru asked. Makoto smiled warmly at the sight.

"It's been a while since she's been so friendly with another girl..." Komaru said to Black.

[Kirby Contray]

 

     Kirby, with his head still tilted, continued to stare at the fools as they spoke. He shifted his eyes before looking at them again. He slowly raised his hands up and covered his hair.

     "Pooooyooo?...", he answered shyly, shaking his head. Trying to act like his hair wasn't pink. Are they working for that kidnapper? He wasn't all that sure. And...what boy with blue hair?...

Clementine nodded excitedly. She was happy to have another person to call a friend.

"Yeah! Friends!" She said. "It's good too; now I won't have to play with Black's hair anymore!"

 

Black gave Makoto a small smile. "Yeah..." He trailed off for a moment, just downright happy that Clementine had a girl to talk to. "Her only friends was me and our friend Silver. I'm so happy she has a girl to talk to now."

 

Silver could tell that Sonic and Link was talking about him. Silver shot Sonic a glare, knowing Sonic was probably talking of some silliness. His gaze softened when he looked to Link.

"I'll be okay." He mouthed. "I just got a lot on my mind."

 

Meanwhile Roxas shook Marluxia out of his mind. He needed to snap out of it.

"Huh? Yeah- I'm fine! Let's go get Kirby. I don't need to stay here." He rubbed the back of his head.

 

Vanitas grumbled and roughly took hold of Dawn. He wanted to get this over with. If his two friends saw him now they would probably laugh.

"Those assholes... Thankfully they're not here." He thought. "Reala might've joined in out of pity. Shadow? He would just shake his head and laugh his ass off on the inside."

"Alright" Vanitas began. "But only so we could blend in with this wretched crowd.

"Okay, good. Let's get moving then." Del led the trio down the street to the inn. As he opened the door, he saw to people approaching Kirby. "Hey, who are those guys?" He started jogging now to get to Kirby.

~Sonic/Link~

"Sorry," Link mouthed back. Looking towards Black, he sighed. "You know, you remind me of someone I once knew. His name was Mido. Ever met him?"

Sonic looked to Makoto and spoke.

"So, how long have you two been in town? Are you here just for the festival?"

 

~Miles/Zorn/Thorn~

"He doesn't know the Blue Boy!"

"The Blue Boy, he doesn't know!" The two heard footsteps quickly stampeding in the scene. Turning to meet a group of people, the two panicked for a second, before regaining composure.

"That's our friend!" Miles shouted to the two, obviously guards. The Red of the two quickly jumped back to the boy, grabbing his harms, pushing them behind him.

"The boy for info."

"Info for the boy!"

 

~Dawn Estheim~

The orchestra began to play a waltz that was most familiar to her, one that she heard back home nearly every day. It was Vexen's favorite.

  And off they were. Dawn couldn't help but remember all that she had missed back home... imagine if they knew that she, their own maid, was dancing to a waltz at the Afterlife Festival! How happy or distraught would they be? Distraught to find that it was with a Dark Mage... Happy to find that she herself was happy.

  "Are you alright?" Dawn asked, the Waltz still ongoing. Vanitas seemed to had been acting funny since they had arrived.

(hey shard who got grabbed?)

(Kirby, sorry )

"Hey! dont touch him!" Delsin stopped running and pulled out his knife. "Let him go, or ill use this!" He didnt know who these two were or what they wanted, but he wasnt gonna let them hurt kirby. 

[Kirby Contray]

 

     Kirby shook his head in response to the two. No, he didn't know. He really didn't. Then suddenly, his friends came inside, and his eyes sparked with excitement and his mouth hung open with a big smile. But that all went away when the two fools pulled his arms behind his back.

     "Ow!", he yelped with a grimace. What are they doing?! He really didn't know anything! He looked at his friends in plea and struggled to get out of their grip.

Del didnt know what to do. He didnt know what to say, and wouldnt be able to understand these two and their yoda asses anyhow. His mind was racing and he had only one idea. He didnt know if it was smart, but he did it anyway. "Let go of kirby!" He lunged at the one on the right with his knife to put him to sleep. He hoped this worked.

Komaru and Makoto

 

"Yeah... It's great for her to have a friend too... We're basically the only friends each other has." Makoto explains, but his elbows on the table, smiling at Komaru and Clementine.

"Yaay!! We'll be best if friends Clementine!" Komaru said sweetly, taking both of Clementine's hands, giggling.

Del didnt know what to do. He didnt know what to say, and wouldnt be able to understand these two and their yoda asses anyhow. His mind was racing and he had only one idea. He didnt know if it was smart, but he did it anyway. "Let go of kirby!" He lunged at the one on the right with his knife to put him to sleep. He hoped this worked.

(The yoda part killed me)Roxas, trying to back Delsin up, he lunged for the other guard like a panther, all while yelling in anger. "Tails!" He yelled. "Get Kirby!"Meanwhile Clementine nodded excitedly. Now she could do so much things with her new female friend, like play games and whatnot. "What do you do for fun?" She asked. Suddenly, her mother came back, with trays of food. She placed it all on the table."Now I'm just gonna get ya'll plates. Clementine, help me won't you?" She handed Black a plate that was covered with some cloth."And this is the cake for you and your family."Clementine sighed, and nodded. "Okay..." She headed into the kitchen with her mother to get plates.Black shrugged his shoulders. He never heard anyone by that name. "Nope!" He said. He accepted the plate with a smile. "Thank you." He looked back to Sonic and Link. "How do you both know Clementine?"Vanitas meanwhile grumbled. "I'm fine. I just don't dance much." He proceeded to lead Dawn in the waltz, surprised that he still remembered the dance. Maleficent chirped happily.

~Zorn&Thorn&Tails&Cabbages&Kings~

The Hunter's - oh, who they guessed was a hunter- was successful in his lunge against the Red One, but the Blue Quickly tapped into his place, dodging the Youngers jump. Tails tried to fetch Kirby like Roxas had commanded, but the Blue had greater speed than he- surprising for one so small and old as he was. Still, Tails didn't hesitate to jump at him, grabbing his arm, trying to it away from his friend.

"Magic is banned here, Hunter! Know that, you do! You're next after the blue boy!" He released Kirby, and picked up his Red friend, leaving hastily from the Inn.

"Kirby, are you alright?" Tails looked to the group. "You guys, too?"

 

~Sonic/Link~

"Well," Sonic started, "I met her earlier today. She was being bullied by these kids that I didn't know... they took her hat. I made them give it back, and I helped her find her parents." Link smiled at the thought of Sonic helping the little girl out when they weren't around. It added to his trust that he didn't have initially.

"I'm just Sonic's friend. I've never met her before."

Sonic continued to listen to Makoto, whom he had a strange interest in. Something about him was different than the others at the table, something he couldn't put his eyes on.

 

~Dawn Estheim~

"No," Dawn began again, shaking her head at his protest, "there's more to it than that. You've fell silent so often today..." Dawn followed after by doing the same for a beat. "Vanitas... what is your plan, anyways? I know you've told me before but... I wanna know for sure."

Delsin huffed. They did it. "I seriously cannot understand a word they say. Nice job guys." He patted miles and roxas on the back. He wanted to congratulate them on their teamwork, but he though he should make sure Kirby was okay. He crouched next to Kirby. "You okay buddy? Did they hurt you?"

[Kirby Contray]

 

  What was that all about?! The weirdos! Rubbing his arms, Kirby walked over to Delsin and the others.

  "Mnh. I'm okay...", he said to them. "U-um...is the kidnapper gone? 'Cause I kinda, sorta, really wish to go to the festival with you guys...heh heh...", he chuckled. In all honesty, he wanted to forget about all of the trouble he was thrown into today. Right now, he just wanted to be with his friends. It still was odd though, how the kidnapper knew his neighbor's name...

Edited March 8, 201510 yr by Hargleblargleboo

"Yeah buddy, hes gone. we can go to the festival now." Del turned his head to the others. "Sound good to you guys?"

Roxas sat up and rubbed the back of his head. From the dodge by one of the guards Roxas had faceplanted in the ground. Surprisingly however, he wasn't even hurt.

"Yeah, let's go!" He said. He was extremely excited to celebrate the festival.

 

Meanwhile Black smiled warmly at what Sonic said. He was grateful that the blue haired boy helped his dear friend.

"That hat means a lot to her." Black said. "Thank you so much for getting it back."

 

"Can't I think in silence?" Vanitas asked with a grumble. He kept getting agitated, but somehow the dance eased this agitation for a bit.

"My plan," he started. "Is to get the information that I want, and perhaps stir up trouble along the way. I want to find out more about anchient curses, and a certain substance in particular known as 'Black Matter." There was another thing in his plan, however he didn't really feel like saying it. "Also, with these fools persecuting Mages I thought I would be fun to mess with them..."

Komaru and Makoto 

 

Komaru turned her head to Makoto with a wide, warm smile which made Makoto smile.

"It's great that you finally have a friend that isn't me sis, I'm proud of you." Makoto said kindly, ruffling Komaru's hair.

"Yay! Big bro is proud of me!" Komaru called out, hugging into Makoto, Makoto just laughed and hugged Komaru back with a warm smile, he turned to Black and smiled too, pointing at Komaru.

(Sorry for not typing too much this round, I'm kind of sick so my minds all... bleh )~Sonic/Link~

"Silver?" Link commented. "You haven't said nearly anything."

"No problem, man." Sonic responded to Black.

 

~Miles Thompson~

"I just realized..." Miles slapped his face. "The people I stabbed at one of the bases.... They might remember what I look like. If those two fools go and file us down, we're gonna be in trouble. Let's get the masks first and then go."

 

~Dawn Estheim~

"Oh... right." Dawn was a bit down because of Vanitas' harshness. "Well..." She continued, "I haven't seen any reason not to look now. We had our dance, short as it was."

"Okay sounds good. lets go get them." as they walked, del started to think. He wanted to get roxas' father back as soon as possible. They had been distracted with other thing for a few days now and he didnt know what could happen to him the longer they waited. He knew they had to go to the festival, for kirbys sake, but they needed to get moving. and soon.

[Kirby Contray]

 

     "Yay! Let's go get the masks!" Kirby happily followed the others. "I can't wait to see what your festival is like!" Then, he heard Miles comment. "Oh. Uh oh. Uh... I'm sure we'll be okay as long as we stay together... I hope.", he said the Miles. He didn't want anything bad happening to his friends. "Oh, also... do you think we'll find Roxas' dad soon?...", he asked rather innocently. 

Edited March 13, 201510 yr by Hargleblargleboo

Del heard kirby practically read his mind. "Yeah bud. were gonna get him back soon. but lets go have fun at the festival first." del said with a smile.

"We will." Roxas said suddenly, immediately. Deep down he had fear that they wouldn't, but Roxas would never admit that doubt. He told himself that they were going to get his dad back, no matter what.

"Let's just get those masks. I call the coolest one." He tried his best to change the subject.

 

Meanwhile, Black smiled at Komaru and his new friends. He looked down at the plate in his hands, and sighed. "Sorry guys. I gotta go and eat with my ma' and pa. I'll see you all later!" With that, he bid farewell and left.

 

Silver almost jumped at the sudden mention of his name. "Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine." He uttered. He heard Black mention his mother, and Silver realized his own mother must be worried sick. He ran his and over his face.

"Ugh..." He said to Link and Sonic. "My mother hasn't heard from me over these past few days... She's going to get sick from worrying too much..." Maybe he could ask a courier to send a short memo to her. Maybe it could even read 'Hey, mom! I'm not dead in a ditch- I'm just hanging wih a bunch of strangers I just met after I almost got arrested. Tell the neighbors I said hi!'

 

Lenora suddenly came back in with Clementine. Both were holding covered trays of food. They set it down on the table and Clementine left to get some plates and utensils. She came back not too long later, and set up the table for everyone.

"Hope ya'll hungry!" Lenora said with a grin. "Ya'll gonna be fat once you leave this house!"

 

Clementine giggled and sat next to her new female companion.

"Are you excited?" She asked

 

Vanitas noticed right away Dawn's negative disposition. Vanitas crossed his arms, and gave Dawn a look. "Something is the matter." He said. "What is it?" He didn't really want to show that he truly cared, however having a partner with a bad morale is the worst thing to have.

~Link/Sonic~

  "I'm sorry, Silver. As soon as we do... the thing... we'll take you home."

  "Sonic, you should go get those masks..." Link coughed towards the Blue Boy, who smirked in response, holding up a bag, patting it softly.

  "Already got them." He passed the Blue capped mask towards Sonic, the Mummy mask to Link, and kept the Wolf mask for himself.

 

~Miles Thompson~

"I hope you like these masks." Tails, now back at the house he'd left them at, took a look at the Keaton mask, putting it on with a grin. "Go on, dig in! See what you like!"

(I can't remember what masks Tails picked out already so just go wild with your imagination.)~Dawn Estheim~ Dawn sighed again, something she seemed to be making a habit of.

"Vanitas..." She looked at the mask hiding his face. Pulling hers off her own, and lifting his, she spoke. "I..." Dawn waited a few seconds to give herself some time to think.
