She watched as the bustle of people came to and from wondering if they were in a similar situation like herself or natives to the world."

After consistently taking a nap wherever he stationed himself for a few years, no one was keeping track of the actual number.\n\nFuro shuffled off to put away the spare parts he had claimed.

If he was risking exploring the constantly expanding town, then someone else can deal with the more tedious stuff. They were welcome, and he knew he was awesome for doing it. \n\nWhen talk of the gummi ship was shifted over to him for explanation, he perked back up into the conversation. Though, he doubted he would be anymore enlightening than most.\n\n\"Uh, Gummi Ships fly in space. That's how people get from one world to another. Something about their parts being made from meteors.

Furo's workshop had become a sort of impromptu headquarters for the boys in the last few weeks- or months? How long had it been since they'd all connected like this? He pushed the thought aside as his eyes fell on his Keyblade. Even now, it still took some constant effort to manifest. But he was certain of one thing now- this was his sword, and he was not going to let it go so easily.*\n\n*He'd invited Cid over to show off, maybe get some sparring in. Late night (\"Night\" Relatively anyway) Heartless hunts were not at all uncommon for them. It was the most efficient way to get money versus being some day laborer, and well, it was more fun. But it seemed like just hunting down whatever poor world-destroying entity wandered into their line of sight was not what was on the docket for today.*\n\n\"Slow down, n' say all o' that again, Cid. Gotta remember, I ain't exactly from 'round these parts.\" *Brad held up one hand in a warding gesture, blissfully unaware of the irony that none of them were from around here.

His usage of silence appeared to last for far longer, and as such he would run the ball launcher for an extended period.\n\nHowever wanting to test his senses further, he blindfolded himself before starting the machine. Not able to see the ball nor hear it, h figured this was the best chance he had to increase his awareness to danger. He could always feel the changes of airflow in a room and now was a good time to put that feeling to the test.\n\nHe prepared himself for the shift he knew was coming as he stood waiting in the workshop. And come it did. A small burst displaced air several meters in front of him, and something was cutting a path right toward him. He could sense it. Feel it. But could he react?\n\nThe answer was no.\n\nHe swung his practice sword at the ball he knew was coming, but his coordination was woefully lacking. He nearly spun in place as he whiffed his swing high and took the impact of the ball to his side. It stung something fierce, but he did not have much time to focus on it as he could tell another ball had been ejected from the launcher.\n\nIn fear he quickly removed himself from the line of fire with his connection to lightning. Seconds later he heard the ball rebound off something behind him, and after he was left to listen to just his own strained breathing.\n\nIt took Furo a moment to find the courage to retake his place. As if waiting on him, the launcher had yet to send another ball out. It seemed odd as he had rigged it to fire randomly and never known it to take so long, but was too afraid to consider something insidious at play.\n\nHe held his practice sword tightly and put a feeler out for the next ball. One was sent his way soon after and instead of swinging he cast reflect in a panic. The ball bouncing off his spell, but his fear of not being able to see lingered.\n\n** **\nHe continued to reflect balls fired at his person for a while until he became comfortable with the fact that he was not in any real danger. Only then did he attempt to swing at the projectiles with any with any real effort. He still reflected ones he did not feel confident he could knock away, but he was improving from how things started.\n\nAfter a while his strengthened cast of silence ended and he paused the machine to clean up. Blitzing around the shop, sans blindfold, to pick up and deposit balls into the machine, he attempted to mentally prepare himself for another round. He was willing to spend all day practicing until he had overcome any residual fear.\n\nHe cast a strengthened silence once more before restarting the launcher."

He held his tongue about lighting a pipe in this stuffy house, and was glad that he opened the windows as quickly as he did. \n\nStill he eyed his teacher as the explanation for their appearance today was foretold. The idea of gaining a familiar had never once been a concept Furo considered. The reveal of the very puppies they were searching for squashed the little excitement that Merlin was trying to build up.\n\n\"Oh, nothing much Master Merlin. We were wondering if you had seen some animals per chance. Small puppies that are white with black spots.\"\n\nThe mechanic propped himself next to the window so that he could breathe in the cleaner outside air. He watched the very dogs they were looking for running around the place, while he acted oblivious. That made three sighted with Merlin, so maybe the rest were nearby as well.\n\n\"To be serious, we are helping with a request to reunite a family of dogs. We were pointed to your place after one puppy was found, so it would be quite fortunate if you knew where we could find some others. Can you please tell us how you chanced upon these two?\""

"author": "Xion Kirisame",
"message": "\"I'm not that great at it either. I can work with it enough for appearance alterations and whatnot but mostly I just use my magic for what essentially amounts to weaponized fireworks. Forcing magic into an object is pretty simple to pull off if it's just to determine whether it's magical or not. Takes more precision to properly determine the exact enchantment specifications. I just know it's some kinda illusion or mind magic due to the weird mental image of a blue person staring back at me from the opposite side of the coin... I probably couldn't pass a basic enchantments class if I tried so I can't even figure out an enchantment as complex as that one... Frankly if you want it to stay intact, I'm not the person to hold onto it. I was serious about the volcano bit. I don't trust blasting it with magic and that's my solution to most things I dislike. If it's not vanishing in one shot, I'm not using enough power.\" *She seems to inch away from Ika though it's more likely specifically the coin.

For Twilight... For my friends... Even... `For Little Wiz and for her`...\"\n\nSunset closed her hand softly to extinguish the Firaga fireball, before referring to Darkdream Shimmer and her Heartless friend for the last bit."

It came from a hooded woman sitting at the cafe with her legs crossed, taking a sip of tea and reading from a local newspaper. \n\n\"Or is it still to make yourself feel better about what you did and your 'friends' to accept you?

Unless your willing to try and fight me yourself...\"\n\nSunset kept a glare at her enemy of sorts before a strange but yet calm red flame aura began to float around her, from her feet to her head along with the flaming aura also making a strange wing-like pattern on her back but looked nothing more than an aura image of wings."
