Little Girl Lost [Active, Open]

Character(s): NiGHTS, open to anyone else (thread set-up will be similar to "party" posts, so if you want your characters to interact along with NiGHTS, please include them in the same thread ♥)
Content: NiGHTS looks for Yuna.
Setting: The entire city of Paixao, but mostly Cea de Mouraria and City Hall later on.
Time: Late morning, week six
Warnings: None yet.

NiGHTS, being who he was, seldom felt like being on any side whatsoever. On the occasions that he did, however, it was usually the good side these days (evil, as NiGHTS had discovered countless years ago, was usually strict and therefore boring) - and now was no different. His new friend, Belle, was worried about her room mate, Yuna - and although NiGHTS and Yuna had never met, he was in a helpful sort of mood right now and therefore more likely to do something about it. He'd idled these past few days after setting up an alert to see what happened, and was intrigued by the replies he'd gotten.

So it was today that he flew, searching about the city... until he came to the Cea de Mouraria. He remembered Auron mentioning it, but he hadn't quite been expecting the state it was in. Sure, the opera house was being repaired, but there were clear signs that a large battle had taken place in the area. NiGHTS pouted for a moment and crossed his arms; maybe he should have gone to the party after all.

Oh, well. He'd check City Hall once he was finished with this area. Hopefully, there would be signs of the poor girl somewhere around Paixao.

NiGHTS nodded almost absently. He technically had a father of sorts, although he had clashed with his creator several times and had helped in his destruction. He wouldn't know about what fathers, according to most mortals, were supposed to be like, but he had been content to listen to Will's stories about his dad. They'd been interesting, anyhow. "Well, once we find Yuna, you won't have to worry," he responded with a grin, and nodded again. "Belle's really interesting. She and I met at the library." And, strangely enough, Belle's purity had been like Alice's - pure and resonant. It was strange; even with the children NiGHTS had befriended in the Night DImension had fairly normal Ideyas (even if they did possess them all).

Even with Braska's attempt at subtlety, NiGHTS could see the worry and fear written all over his face. Seeing all these people worrying was... well, it was starting to make NiGHTS wonder about this girl. Whoever Yuna was, she meant a lot to these people. "We'll find her," he told Braska. "Don't worry."

Braska was doing his best to keep his feelings from showing on his face. It was at times like this--especially at times like this--that he had to stay strong. Yuna was counting on him, and, while the people who had decided to help may not be looking to him, he still felt that he had to keep his fear from showing. Maybe it was just something that remained from his time on the pilgrimage.

"The library?" Braska asked. "I should stop by there myself sometime. I have yet to visit it, and I've been here for quite awhile." It would be nice to take a day to spend some time at the library and get his mind off of things for awhile.

Braska, NiGHTS deemed, could use some cheering up. Unfortunately, NiGHTS wasn't sure how to do such a thing in a situation like this, so aside from remaining his usual cheerful self, the Nightmaren wasn't sure what he could do, aside from distracting Braska for the moment. So he nodded. "I haven't been inside there," NiGHTS replied with a giggle, "but Belle was carrying so many books that I could barely see her behind them all."

We'll find Yuna, all right, NiGHTS thought. And when that happens, Hades won't know what hit him. Besides, Hades was hilarious when he was angry.

Braska couldn't help but chuckle at the thought. Obviously, to say the young woman took pleasure in her reading would be an understatement. That or the books in there were truly something to be admired. He would definitely take a look, he decided, if only to satisfy his curiosity. "I hope she managed to make it wherever she was going all right," he said with an amused smile. "I can only how difficult that must have been."

"I almost had to carry her," NiGHTS joked, grinning at the memory, "but she was alright." He'd never seen anybody try to read and walk down stairs at the same time, at least not that he could remember off the top of his head. "She got back to her place just fine, as far as I know." And even if something happened, the White Ideya had been glowing quite brightly from within her; it wouldn't be too difficult for NiGHTS to find her.

Speaking of which... "Hey," NiGHTS replied, "what's Yuna like, anyway?" If she had any of the Ideya, NiGHTS could theoretically help track her down - but he wasn't sure he wanted to bother with explaining the Ideya.

Braska chuckled. It was good to hear that she had made it there safely. Perhaps those feats were common for her. The young woman must have read quite a bit.

A frown appeared on Braska's face for an instant as the question was asked, but was hidden away almost as quickly. He could only say what he had seen and heard of her in his recent meeting. "She is strong, persistent, and kind. She has grown up into a fine young woman, and she cares deeply about those around her," he explained, "Although... so much has happened to her."

"But that is her story to tell, I think." He shook his head and smiled. "And I imagine she could tell it better than I could."

NiGHTS felt a little sorry for asking, but what else could he do? If he learned about Yuna, maybe he could learn about her Ideya, and track her that way (she at least sounded like she had the Ideya of Courage, which would make his job considerably easier), NiGHTS nodded, not bothering to explain his plan. "Well, then, she's definitely not here," NiGHTS murmured, half to himself. "Maybe she's somewhere else."

He nodded at Braska, smiling. "Don't worry," he replied, "we'll find her!" Hades definitely wouldn't harm her, not from what he'd seen, and they were already working on finding the girl. It shouldn't take much longer, now.

Braska glanced over at NiGHTS confusedly, having heard his comment to himself. "How can you tell?" he asked. Strange... Was that why NiGHTS had wanted to know what Yuna was like?

He smiled back at the Nightmaren's assurances. "You're right. We need only keep searching." They would find her and punish the one who had kidnapped her.

"I can sense certain things," NiGHTS explained, "and right now I can't sense the traits you've described. She's definitely somewhere else." He lifted higher into the air and looked around as if he could find her simply by doing that - however, things wouldn't be that simple. He had to catch sight of Yuna's Ideya before he could track her, and as he didn't know how strong they were, he was out of luck for the moment. He'd have to look somewhere else.

"She can't have been taken out of the city," said the maren, "since there's not much outside of here." Which was boring, but NiGHTS could deal with it.

What a curious ability. He had never heard of anything like that before, but he was more than thankful for it. It would definitely be of use in finding Yuna. "At least there is that."

"You are able to sense traits?" Braska finally asked. "I've never heard of such a thing before."

NiGHTS nodded. "Well, sort of," he replied. "It's a little hard to explain." That, and he didn't have the patience right now for explaining. It was one of the things he missed about Owl; the old bird could easily explain things while NiGHTS dallied and waited for that boring stuff to be over with so he could go have some fun already.

"Anyway," NiGHTS continued, "she's got to show up somewhere..."

Braska nodded. He was a little disappointed that NiGHTS wouldn't tell him, but now wasn't quite the time for such explanations and if NiGHTS didn't want to tell him, Braska wasn't going to force him. "If you need to search somewhere else..." He trailed off, deciding to put it a different way "Don't feel as though you have to stay with me."

NiGHTS nodded, rising into the air again. "Of course!" he replied cheerfully, not caring about propriety or anything. "I was just looking for clues anyway," he continued, shrugging. "I guess I'll go and search City Hall next, unless you've got any ideas?" He cocked his head to one side, doubting that Braska really knew anything... but it couldn't hurt to ask him nonetheless, could it?

Braska shook his head. "I only wish I did. I know nothing beyond what Auron has told me. Have you gotten any information from him?" he asked. The man always had preferred to keep to himself. Auron had his reasons, Braska knew, but it could be frustrating sometimes, especially in situations like these.

"I know Auron suspects Hades as the one behind all this," NiGHTS replied. "I agree with him after what I've seen of that guy." NiGHTS hadn't attended the party, sure, but he'd kept an eye out over the journals, and Hades was definitely a shady and sinister character. "Who knows what he's really planning, but I'm sure he wants something to do with Auron." What? That was obvious, but stating it never hurt anybody - plus it could be funny.

"That is what he told me as well. I worry what he might do, though I cannot claim to understand what sort of grudge he holds toward Auron." The High Summoner sighed and shook his head. "I doubt Auron himself knows." What lengths would this God of the Dead go to in order to carry out his grudge? He wanted desperately to be able to put the pieces together, but with what he had now, it was impossible. He wondered whether or not they would be able to get any information from the god himself.

"Well," NiGHTS mused, "Hades is the god of the dead. Maybe your friend cheated death somehow?" NiGHTS had never met death or the gods thereof personally, but he knew that gods in general didn't like being denied what they felt was theirs by right. Wizeman had especially held a dislike for NiGHTS after he left the side of Nightmare to go and journey on his own path.

Braska looked away a moment, trying to figure out exactly what he wanted to say. "He is not one in Spira. Spira... operates under different rules," he finally decided. "Ones that many seem to find rather strange, if what happened with Sin here is any indication." He looked ahead thoughtfully, "I do not think we have anything like Hades in Spira. Not... quite like him, in any case."

NiGHTS nodded thoughtfully, keeping his thoughts to himself on the matter. There were such things as worlds crossing together, after all - not just here, but in the Night Dimension as well. Gods tend to think they're above all that, NiGHTS thought, keeping his expression neutral, and most of the time they're right. But this... this was going too far. NiGHTS may not care about sides, but he didn't like seeing people hurting like this.
