jotaro watched luca's stand closely as it spoke, interested in how it seemed more direct than its user somehow, much like how his star platinum was more expressive than he was. star platinum itself de-manifested soon after luca's, seeing that neither of these people seemed very hostile. "no, it's fine. since stands are just your consciousness, they do tend to... say or do things that you wouldn't do yourself. sticking together..." jotaro was quiet for a few moments, going over his- or his lack thereof- list of options in a situation like this. he could be alone and possibly be ambushed, or treat these people like allies... luca was right, there was strength in numbers. he nodded. "i think sticking together would be good. i'm not going to treat either of you like friends, but... you both seem strong." jotaro's mouth moved, something resembling a very slight and barely noticeable smile being made.

Phantasma || Nonbinary || 15 || Tags; Nero

Phantasma breathed in the cold crisp air from the snowy area then finally puffing out a small cloud. They were in awe of how the place looked, amazed and fascinated seeing snow itself. They haven’t seen snow back home ever, just the usual old sunny days and very rare rainy days too.Though they don’t really count volcanic ash as snow. The teen snapped out of their sight seeing moment as their partner made a comment of being watched. Right. The people might be hidden in the snow blended with the surroundings around them. Phantasma eyed their ghostly partners and did a small nod signaling them to go ahead and scout the area.

“Hopefully they are friendly people--oh you look pretty cold. Sadly I don’t have extra clothes on me.” Phantasma said looking at Nero with a grin. “Don’t think they’d fit you anyway but who knows.” The kid did a small shrug, turning their attention to what's in front of them. Snow falling down gently coating the already white blanketed land making it look like an endless tundra. They felt a bit cold though it didn’t bother them much apparently their body is used to the cold or more like a cold dead body as they were told by their friends especially one that is partially dead.

Phantasma looked up seeing their ghostly friends coming back ready with new info to share with the duo. One of them was looking around frantically as if something was going to happen at any moment. “You guys are definitely surrounded. We aren't very sure if they are friend or foe but we know they have no ill intentions towards you both as far as we know from this moment.” The ghost explained in a near panic manner. Phantasma raised an eyebrow at this. Interesting. One wrong move and they might be deemed an enemy and perhaps might have to fight the natives. The kid tapped their chin with their book in deep thought on what to do next.

Nothing just a blank slate. “Do they have weapons?” The ghost shook their head. “A few but it seems they are familiar with magic so don’t underestimate them.” The kid’s eyes lit up in curiosity causing the ghost to shoot a don’t-you-dare look to Phantasma. “Well I can’t do anything or else I’d make things matters worse.” Phantasma said plainly with a shrug. Like always they do make things matters bad or horrible somewhat of a curse as they would believe but who knows. “It’s your call Nero.”

**** Luciela ****

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

It seemed the man wasn’t too concerned with her slip up but she couldn’t decide if this was a good or a bad thing. He wasn’t one of those secretly dense types was he? She could sense at least a bit of unease but his gaze gave her a bad feeling. It was as like the spark of rebellion she saw in her previous subjects’ eyes. Lu’s instincts told her he was more dangerous than he seemed but she couldn’t see how. Perhaps she was underestimating him a bit too much. At the very least she needed to keep her guard up for a sneak attack. He might be hiding his true strength through some sort of trick. She tried not to dwell on these thoughts for too long and reveal her growing unease. Lu’s true feelings tended to leak through when she wasn’t focused on hiding them.

Luckily, Lu was given a perfect distraction when she was asked about her sudden conclusions. ”Well, I guess you say that.” she replied teasingly, mirroring his amused tone. When he accepted her handshake he seemed to go about it cautiously, something that gave her an ego boost. A devious grin slithered onto her face disguised with a satisfied nod and the shadow of her cap. Her eyebrows rose when she heard his name and she couldn’t help but respond, “A bit boring if you ask me...”Her eyes grew wide as she realized her slip up “Ah! Not that that’s a bad thing! It’s uhh, nice and simple.” she spluttered, a nervous laugh punctuating her attempt at a recovery.

Lu cleared her throat struggling to regain her composure, “Will is fine then, right? You can call me Lu .... or actually Luciela is fine.” She wasn’t completely familiar with how she was supposed to present herself without coming off as arrogant, like she usually did. Unfortunately she wasn’t able to let herself be called Lu by a human whom she had no respect for. “Anyway, shall we follow the river? Or maybe we can follow the path I had stumbled upon over there?” Lu pointed back into the trees towards the direction she came from. No matter his answer at this point, Lu just wanted to get moving. She mentally tormented herself after the slip up and needed to change the subject before she embarrassed herself again.

Johann
Tags: Hiccup, Zenitsu, possibly Toothless

Johann felt consciousness return to him swiftly, the fog of the Dream fading away to-

Wait. When did he ever fall asleep?

Sitting up, he glanced at the terrain around him. Trees and fog as far as the eye can see. Rather well lit as well, even with the moon as full as it is, and much less pale to boot. Much warmer colors. And, now that he thought about it, warmer in general. Looking up to the moon, he was forced to cover his eyes as light poured through the gap between his hat and mask, eventually abating enough to let him see-

That was the sun. The actual, radiant sun, if the heat and light was anything to go by.

Slowly he got to his feet, keeping a hand in front of his face to abate the slow burning feeling in his eyes as he stood to face the sun. Searching his mind, he remembered returning from Yahar'gul after facing that....thing, whatever it was, to check on Arianna's condition and then....nothing. Just blank space, up until now. Scrunching his features, Johann brought a hand to squeeze his temples, trying to focus, to push through the nothingness occupying his memory. However, such a reverie by a barely heard noise; a warble, of all things.

Unhooking his Saw Spear from his belt, he crept through the underbrush, keeping as quiet as possible as he approached the noise's origin. Once he arrived in a small clearing, the suns rays mostly blocked by the thick canopy above, the sight before him rankled the blood and confused the mind in equal measure. He watched in silent fury as the beast ahead slip upwards into the trees at the young man's prompting, before returning from above just as quickly. Rankling blood due to the mere presence and scent of the wretched beast, as he felt his grip tighten on the Saw Spear's shaft. But confusion tempering a hasty execution due to the....inconsistencies. Even outside the absurd notion of a wretched beast listening to a man, this beast was....off in appearance. Beasts were not known to have bat-like wings, nor were they known for the possession of scales, either. And, even in the mad chance that the young man had somehow formed a compact with the wretched beast, that still did not explain why the obviously frightened youth was still in one piece. Beasts were not known for their restraint. His mind wandered back to the words of an old Powderkeg on a clocktower; a talk on the nature of wretched beasts.

Taking a deep breath, Johann watched as the wretched beast trotted away. Saw Cleaver still in hand, Johann stepped closer, stopping at the point where human eyes could see him in he murk, though not without a thin covering of mist covering him. Angling his head to keep his eyes covered by his hat, he spoke

"A curious beast, that thing. Scales and wings....quite unusual for something more fit for fur. But abominable by its nature, nonetheless." He then raised his head, staring directly at the young man. "So tell me, what would drive a young man of sound mind and body to cavort with such a misbegotten abomination?" with a certain hateful emphasis placed on the last two words.

If it hadn't been evident before, it was clearly evident now that he was the oddball of this small group. Genji was no stranger to such a thing, but it wasn't something he had needed to deal with in quite some time. In a way it was actually awkward for the cyborg. There was no way for him to relate to either of the teens before him nor was he sure what to even say to them. Both of them clearly had more in common with each other than he had with them and it only made it worse that they seemed to both be much younger than him despite Jotaro appearing to be much taller. Everything pointed to him not belonging in such a group. Besides, it seemed neither was paying much attention to his presence anyways. He could easily slip away without being noticed, but he figured that would only cause him problems in the long run. The last thing he needed was one of their "invisible" companions coming after him or something like that. For now he would simply have to accept his situation and push forward. Letting an undetectable sigh escape his lips, Genji turned away from the two for a moment in order to observe their surroundings while they spoke. There was no reason for him to butt in on their conversation either since it didn't seem to involve him. He did however take note of the newcomer's name before focusing his attention elsewhere. Much like before, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. If he was honest, everything seemed far too peaceful. Maybe he simply wasn't used to such things given his line of work but then again such peace had been a normal occurrence during his time in Nepal. There was something different about his time there compared to this place though. He couldn't put his finger on exactly what, but he had a gut feeling that it was true. Before he could become too engrossed in his own thoughts, Genji was pulled back into the conversation happening behind him when he heard Luca mention that he was not a stand user. Looking over his shoulder, the ninja cocked his head ever so slightly. "I may have no stand, but I do think a spirit dragon is more than enough to compete with them," he remarked. His dragon may be visible to others, but he still knew it was powerful as well. He was certain it couldn't actually fight the stands themselves, but if it could he was sure that it could easily hold its own.

Pushing that thought aside, Genji allowed himself to turn entirely around to face both teens once more. It was clear that they had come to the agreement that they should travel together although Jotaro also made it clear he wouldn't see them as friends. That was entirely understandable. He didn't see either of them as friends nor did he think he would. He was simply willing to work with them even though he felt as if he was nothing more than an outsider to them. Deciding not to focus on that too much, the cyborg found himself curious at the next words that were spoke. "You both seem strong." He felt that was something one couldn't assess upon simply hearing ones name or even their appearance. He could understand if he thought Luca was strong because of his stand, but the same could not be said for him and he had only just mentioned his dragon. Either way he supposed it did not matter. Giving a curt nod of his head, Genji looked away once again. "I'm fine with that being the way we go about this. Working with others simply to get a job done is nothing new to me," he replied. There were plenty of people whom he had not enjoyed working alongside in the past but had done so because they had the same end goal. This was no different. "If we've come to an agreement then I suggest we keep moving and try to find some answers about this place." It felt strange to him to be acting so seriously, but he was the adult or so he assumed. Taking the lead would only be natural. Besides, he wished to return home sooner rather than later. His absence would probably cause unwanted worry among his teammates. He didn't wish for them to spend too much time fretting over such a thing. Deciding not to focus on that, the cyborg gestured in the direction he had been looking. "This direction seems to be clear so why don't we get moving?"

It came as no surprise when the stranger reacted negatively towards her mistake though she did thing it was awfully aggressive of her. Still Makoto knew she needed to be careful of what she did next. Hiding was useless at this point. Even if that had been her plan briefly it was only to assess how the other would react before she exposed herself. There was no need for it anymore especially with such aggression. Staying hidden away would only make things worse for her and that was precisely what she wished to avoid. Of course she was no stranger to being the target of angry beings, but that was not what she wished to do here without her teammates to back her up like they always did. Taking on those aggressive shadows was only possible because of the others. She doubted she could do such a thing along nor did she wish to try. Pushing that thought out of her mind, she was prepared to reveal herself and start with an apology before she heard 9S's voice. It was clear that he was trying to cover for her. It truly took her by surprise. He had no reason to do such a thing nor did he need to reveal himself yet here he was doing just that. I reminded her greatly of how Joker acted. He was always putting others before himself and taking the fall for those around him when he saw it necessary. She supposed it shouldn't have come as surprise though given how he had reacted to her being a human and all. It was clear he thought of her kind very highly so perhaps that was why he was doing such a thing. Either way, she refused to let him stand alone. It was her fault that they had gotten into this so she needed to take responsibility for it and stand beside him. Before that, Makoto turned to face Johanna. The persona hadn't moved from its place and was clearly awaiting any orders that she might give. Moving a hand to her face was enough to get her point across to her companion and within seconds the mask returned to her face. Now that her persona was returned to her, she could make her move and join 9S though she wasn't sure what she should say. He had already apologized for her and asked important questions as well. There wasn't much else she could do.

Giving a shake of her head, she knew she couldn't think like that. She had to admit it was her fault not his. That was what she could do. Finally climbing to her feet, Makoto slid out of the bush and quickly brushed herself off to get rid of any leafs or twigs that might have managed to stick to her outfit. With that done, she knew she was in full sight of both her newly found comrade and the stranger as well. "Actually, I should be the one apologizing," she admitted as she moved over to 9S's side. Stopping next to him, she turned to look at Blake with a rather neutral expression upon her face. In a time like this she figured a more gentle expression would have been better, but she decided acting more natural was fitting. She didn't want to come off as forcing herself to appear kind or something along those lines. "I didn't mean to startle you like he stated. I was simply trying to see if it was safe to approach you and ended up falling into a bush." It was embarrassing to admit such a thing, but it was the truth although she decided to leave any mention of Johanna out for the time being. There was no reason she needed to speak of her persona unless she knew for certain that this girl was willing to work with them. Hopefully she wouldn't become too hostile given how their meeting was taking place. If she was in the same position as them then she assumed she might be more open to the idea, but there was no telling if that was the truth or not. For now she would have to wait and see what the other would say before making she came to any kind of conclusion.

indent hiccup hadn't been expecting to hear another voice so soon, he assumed that it would take a while for him and zenitsu to meet someone else in what he thought was probably a pretty large forest. initially pleased -- albeit still surprised -- the chief had a smile on his face when he turned to face whoever was talking, but the friendly expression faltered and soon vanished when he actually saw who was speaking and realized what was being said. laughing nervously to try and steady his nerves and to buy time to figure out what to say in response to the stranger's observations and questions, hiccup's gaze flickered towards the weapon and his own hand shifted to prepare to grab at his own concealed weapon. that was the benefit of his retractable sword: most people thought little of the cylinder that was strapped to the viking's calf until he actually used it. while his first interaction with zenitsu was thankfully not a hostile one, hiccup couldn't help but doubt that whoever this other man was likely wouldn't be so easy to encourage peace with: the brutal appearance of the weapon was enough to unnerve him. there was also a strangeness about the way the stranger spoke, his vocabulary and the clearly hateful tone of his voice. "we're not looking for trouble." hiccup began, asserting his peacefulness and willingness to talk, "we're just trying to find a way out of here, is all." the chief continued, gesturing towards himself and zenitsu when mentioning the group. as he spoke, hiccup also took a step forward defensively, shielding the teenager with his body and tensing. his eyes tracked the dragon who had been continuing to bound through the forest, leading the way to a destination unknown to the dragon rider: hiccup wanted to keep a mental note of where the night fury was in case conflict did occur. "i don't know what your problem is, buddy, but toothless isn't a 'misbegotten abomination'." with a poor attempt to mimic the stranger's voice, hiccup finally straightened his posture and returned the stare, "he's my friend." delivering the statement with a sternness in his voice, he narrowed his eyes, "just put your weapon away and we won't have a problem."

as the interaction continued, toothless came to a halt from where he was leading the way, a confused rumble in his throat until he turned to see what the hold-up was when realizing that he wasn't being followed. backtracking, the dragon stopped when he saw what appeared to be a confrontation to him, pupils narrowing. slowing his pace now and stepping carefully to avoid revealing his position, toothless circled around the group so that he would emerge just behind where hiccup and zenitsu were stood. the dragon stalked forward with wings folded but raised in a display of intimidation, a snarl quietly beginning in his throat. he made no move to pass hiccup, though, remaining behind the rider.

indent it relieved the elf to see that the alarmingly serious nature of chisa was short-lived and, if she had to hazard a guess, not as common as his more cheerful -- and preferable -- side. as she followed him she studied the surroundings they passed curiously, occasionally slowing down to peer at local flora which caught her eye before hurriedly catching up with her travelling companion. she didn't want to stray too far from the only person she met in this unfamiliar place, even if chisa was equally as confused as she was. "i'm from a place called the realm." she began to explain, her voice thoughtful as she figured out where to start. she had traveled a lot as a paladin and she had seen many places that were ravaged by the magistrate's desperate attempts to gain control. "there are all types of places in the realm: from enchanted forests, freezing glaciers, tropical beaches -- all sorts of places!" voice raising an octave as her excitement grew, she waved her arms in a wide gesture to try and emphasize the size of the realm and the varying locations it boasted. with chisa apparently not seeing trees much, she could guess that there would be many places she had seen that would pique his curiosity -- although he was already an awfully curious person.

indent "in fact, there's a place in the realm kinda like this!" ying continued, gesturing to the surroundings trees, "that enchanted forest i mentioned? the trees are much much taller than here but still -- its pretty similar. there's magic everywhere there, you get to meet all sorts of people who use and enjoy magic!" a frown steadily crept onto her face, "some people aren't so nice, though. the magistrate. they raid and destroy places, they don't want magic to be accessible to everyone, they want it all for themselves. it's their fault that there's fighting and that there's innocent people getting hurt. i'm part of a group who are fighting to stop them." noticing her digression, ying cleared her throat and laughed, shaking her head, "that's enough about me, though! what about you? where are you from -- why don't you see trees much? it doesn't sound like a very nice place."

The ground beneath her feet was unfamiliar.

That much was the first thing she noticed. She wasn't sure where she was...but it definitely wasn't the Sanctuary in Rhode Island or even Belle Reve Penitentiary.

What she did know was that she still felt the hunger in her veins. She had no idea how long she'd been unconscious, if she had been at all, but it felt as if it had been ages since her last fix.

Rising to her feet, she noted that her legs felt heavy, as if her bones were full of cement. It took a lot of effort just to even move, but when the appearance of dancing lights caught her attention, she felt she had to follow them, to see if they could provide her with the warmth she craved...

『𝐣𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐲』

As the power of the Echo had dissipated, Jade began to slowly regain her sense of vision. Strangely enough, it seemed the Hyuran man she had been talking to had... vanished? It was probably for the better, though, as she was currently a bit of a mess right now. After that distressing vision, she simply stared blankly at the ground below her as she started to feel the sting of hot tears welling in her eyes. But in one swift motion, she pushed her glasses up and wiped her sadness away with her sleeve. No. Jade had to be strong. She could not falter in this time of uncertainty. Besides, Hydaelyn had decided to abandon Her daughter numerous times before, and Jade had managed to scrape by just fine. After all, that's what heroes did, right...?

Jade struggled to her feet from the kneeling position she had previously been in, knees still somewhat weak from what she had just borne witness to. Despite the loud ringing in her ears, she pressed onwards down the path, clutching onto her cane for dear life as she attempted to stay upright. Her tail practically dragged behind her, clearly expressing her incredibly dejected mood. As she sauntered down the cobblestone trail, Jade could not help but let her mind wander aimlessly. Where were the Scions? Were they thrust into this strange world as well? If so, where could they possibly be? This forest seemed impossibly vast, judging by the fact that when she looked out upon the horizon, all she could see was a sea of trees and a thick haze shrouding them in darkness. It would be nigh impossible to find them in this maze of foliage...

Her idle musings had been interrupted by something shocking: voices in the distance. Jade's ears immediately pricked upwards, picking up on the sound. As such, her interest was immediately piqued, and she began to walk slightly faster down the pathway in order to investigate. While she could not see through the fog before her, she seemed to be going in the right direction as the voices drew closer and closer. Soon enough, she could make out figures ahead. One of them seemed to be a Hyuran man (or boy, judging by his relatively small stature) and an... incredibly short, scruffy-looking Hrothgar? Jade squinted to get a closer look, not realizing she was beginning to draw closer. Suddenly, the sound of a stick cracking beneath her heel loudly announced her approach. Oh dear.

Well, she never was good with stealth, anyway...

˙ ˙ "A quick trip to the moon, indeed," the Doctor muttered as he began observing at his new surroundings. The gravity seemed similar to Earth's and the air, though damp and foggy, was certainly breathable. Around him, there were large, towering trees, as well as other plants. The only signs of a potential civilization were lanterns and a winding cobblestone path. Even Harry mucking around with the helmic regulator wouldn't cause him to be here without the Tardis or his mates. On the other hand, his plight likely wasn't caused by the Time Lords. The Doctor could hear a few birds chirping and, if he wasn't mistaken, rushing water. Not having a particular destination in mind, he started following the mysterious path, hoping to find answers.
