Day 121 : [Partially closed and open]

Who: New arrivals + Old survivors
Open: (Part 1) Closed / (Part 2) Open
When: Day 121
Where: The Scrap Yard
What: Something new has appeared on the Skyway, and a lot of somethings have crash landed there. A handful of transports that were taking the experiments from Vatheon to the mainland have suddenly been spat out in to the Scrap Yard and no longer work. Confused and an eventual mad dash for the safety of the Bastion ensue.
Format: Any
Warnings: Probably violence and maybe injury

[There was a place, another world where people from many, many, many other worlds had been pulled to against their will. Unwilling experiments for a group of scientists and forced to live years in a bubble beneath the sea, they were told not that long ago that their time as experiments was coming to an end. Naturally those experiments fought back, and at the end of it all they won their freedom. Some choose to stay on the Vatheon mainland and live out the rest of their lives with people they had come to meet and love. Others decided to return to their homes to resume the lives they had lost. Either choice, they had to return to the mainland first, before anything else could be done.

But something went wrong with some of the ones being taken there. All at once their transports would simply... stop. And and bright flash of white light preceded... something like a very violent shudder of the entire world that would knock those unfortunate souls unconscious.

When they woke, they would find they were no longer in the sea that surrounded the land and the once-occupied bubble. They were still in their transports, if not a little tossed around and banged up considering the machines had been tossed rather haphazardly on top of a pile of... well... scrap. Metal, parts, some alien some not, some old some not so much. Just. Scrap.

Scrap and several large devices holding confused, possibly injured people on top of it.

The doors will open if pushed, but the front consoles that ran the things won't turn on at all.

This is your new world, transplants.

Good luck.]

[Ryu had decided to head out and explore some more, but upon heading back a new mass of land catches his eye. He's cautious, but starts heading out towards it, cutting through some Peckers that are in the way. As he draws closer, he can spot large pieces of metal, and - are those people?]

Hey!

[Well... Three of them are people. And one of them might be missed considering they're practically a small circus. What's immediately apparent would possibly be the enormous Berserker Nobody (and maybe, if Ryu is paying attention, the bloody headed redhead in its arms.) There's the Samurai Nobody as well, along with a trio of chocobo chicks of varying colors and a golden retriever.]

[Oh, and Saix and Roxas. Those two are there as well, once you get past their little troupe.]

[Saix keeps is claymore ready just in case, but he keeps leading the little group closer. Sorry if he doesn't yell back, Ryu- his head is kind of killing him right now.]

[Those lesser Nobodies are more or less people-shaped, but yeah, they do look a little questionable. Well, Roxas and Saix might not look much friendlier, toting weapons like they are.

Roxas doesn't respond right away. The boy ahead of them... he doesn't seem like he means them any harm. Actually, he almost seems a little familiar. Hesitantly, Roxas raises his free hand and waves.]

Hey!

[Ryu approaches carefully, a little startled by the threatening figures. ... But there's birds and a dog, and they don't seem to be in danger, so these people are probably okay.]

Are you guys all right?

No.

[Saix's response is blunt.]

We need a doctor, or a healer. Now.

Axel's hurt.

[There's some blood on Roxas's face, too, but not as much as on the unconscious redhead being carried by the Berserker. It just might not stand out as much against his red hair.]

Are you a healer? Is there one nearby?

I can't... heal very well. There's a hospital at the Bastion though - we can take him there.

The Bastion?

[That doesn't sound like anything in Vatheon, but, then again, they had just started to leave the city to explore the world proper.]

Lead us there, and explain what the Bastion is.

Is it far?

[Roxas steps closer, ready to follow the stranger. The sooner they get there, the better.]

Not too far. And the Bastion is... well. It's kind of our safehouse. Out here is the Skyway, and there's monsters sometimes. It's dangerous.

[He swallows a little nervously.]

We should hurry. They'll probably find this place soon, with all of the people around.

[Wonderful. The scientists were one thing. Saix adjusts his grip on his claymore and takes another deep breath. The headache seems like its fading... but only slightly.]

Then let's go. You- [Directed to the Berserker with its precious cargo.] -stay in the middle.

[They need to keep Axel's foolish head alive, after all.]

[Safehouse? Skyway? No, this definitely doesn't sound like the world Vatheon is a part of. Roxas grips his keyblade a little tighter at the mention of monsters. He's not afraid for himself, but Axel and the chocobos all need to be protected.]

We can handle monsters. Let's go.

I'll go first - the pathway won't appear if you don't have an amulet.

[Once he's sure they're all following, he heads out towards the main path.]

Be careful. We're going to have to move fast.

[Bastion, an amulet, monsters- Saix has a feeling he is going to be asking a lot of questions soon. Regardless, for now, he just follows Ryu's lead with New Moon at his side and the Berserker behind him still carrying Axel.]

Pathway...?

[Definitely a lot of questions, but that one will get at least an initial answer as the party gets moving. Roxas motions for his Samurai to bring up the rear. He'd do it himself, but the chocobo chicks are determined to stick close to their parent who's still conscious, and he doesn't want them trotting along at the back.]

[The path in front of them appears, pieces of the ground forming just in front of the party. Ryu draws his sword, and deflects a Pecker that heads their way.]

Let's go!

[He starts off at a jog, looking back a little to make sure the new arrivals are following along at a decent speed.]

[Saix is wordless and focused as he goes after Ryu. He doesn't need to look behind him to know the Berserker is following his orders, staying in the midst of the group with its large hands defensively covering Axel. With Lunatic's long reach, Saix is prepared to bat away anything that comes too near to them- something another Pecker learns soon enough.]

[Roxas isn't interested in letting anything come that close to ~~his babies~~ the chocobos, or Axel. The next monster that approaches them gets a keyblade thrown at it, the weapon swiftly returning to Roxas's hand.]

Thanks.

[The Skyway falls into the endless blackness behind them, and Ryu increases the pace slightly.]

At least you guys can defend yourselves - not everyone here is a fighter. Not that there's a problem with that...

[But it's more of a problem out on the Skyway.]

They better learn quick, or have other skills.

[Saix doesn't exactly have a favorable view of people who can't pull their own weight. He glances back at the void that's left behind them with a suspicious glare before keeping stride with Ryu. It's clear they need to stick close.]

[Well, that's a little unsettling. Roxas wonders if that darkness leads anywhere. He glances down at the chocobos near his feet, making sure they're keeping up with the quicker pace. Luckily they're old enough to have started coming into some of their speed.]

There's plenty besides fighting.

[And it's healthy to know these things, Saix.]

That's true! I help out by fishing. It's calming, too.

[Where the fish come from, he has no clue. Probably better not to question it.]

I did mention other skills.

[He says with a particularly violent pommel bash to the face of a Windbag that's gotten a little too close.]

Like an afterthought.

[He tries to look ahead, but it's difficult to say where a path that forms and falls apart as they go is leading.]

How much farther?

It should start coming into view soon.
