/s {party} {do you need it?} --> {Spira} [Active/open]

Character(s): Priere, Culotte, 2-3 more people
Content: ~~Bored silly~~, feeling a bit locked up, the siblings decide it's time to hit the newest opened world.
Setting: Half a day after this post
Time: Noon
Warnings: Possible head trauma-- I mean, shouldn't be too much. Maybe fighting depending on how it goes.

It was about time Priere stopped being lazy around the apartment and finally did something with herself. After all, she wanted to get out of here as much as the next person did, so might as well start working towards it. And anyway, it had been a while since she went off with her brother, it was starting to feel like old times.

She stood near the entrance, waiting for the rest to arrive.

Adjusting his backpack (it felt like it had been awhile since he'd had to lug his backpack around anywhere), Culotte looked around nervously at their surroundings. This place was, well, spooky. Very spooky. And it didn't help that their clothing had changed the minute they stepped into the forest from the island paradise they'd been in before.

At least it seemed the door in the tree they stood by was how they were to get to the next... floor was it? How all this could fit on a floor of a castle, Culotte couldn't even begin to figure out how it worked, but that's what heard this place was.

Culotte really was looking forward to getting home. Things made a lot more sense there.

Unfortunately, 'there was a beach' didn't help much in the way of remembering where to go. Indeed, there was a beach--and Kanata remembered this, the number of oceans he had seen could be counted on one hand--but the everything else before that was a bit of a blur. Something about climbing a castle? Doors were involved too, but that was also after the beach.

... wasn't it?

Oh well, Kanata reasoned, he'd find his way to it eventually!

And so he did, "eventually" still being an important word in this scenario. Perhaps a little belatedly, Kanata found himself stumbling through the Halloween Town door (with still no change to his outfit, much to his continuing disappointment). "Ha, I knew I'd find it!"

Priere couldn't really wait to just go into the new world, partly because waiting around was boring... partly because she absolutely hated the whole "costume" theme around here. At least only Culotte was around to see her look like a demon (Though she had given him the most "laugh and I'll kill you" look she could muster).

But waiting they did, and they did quite a bit. "Urgh... I should have known not to trust a demon..." she groaned. Well okay, she expected demons to backstab her, not be late, but who cares about the little details? She was just about to suggest they ditch the late demon when he suddenly arrived.

She had planned to rant to him about being on time... though she got distracted by the dog ears. Okay... so he wasn't kidding about the whole "Demon Dog King" thing... what was with the demons that didn't look like demons anyway?

"Uh... Hi!" Culotte greeted the late demon, looking up at him with more than a little curiosity. He was nothing like the demons Priere and him had seen. His clothes sure looked fancy and were those really dog ears? Either way, he didn't seem so bad, he was just late.

"Did you get lost or something?" Culotte asked. He could see that happening. It had been a rather weird and confusing trip so far, and they still had to go through this next door.

"Yeah," Kanata said, pausing to catch his breath--though the grin never left his face. "I forgot where it..." Pause. Well, that was somewhat true. But it was also a matter of-- "Or which door was..."

...

"... I kind of forgot where I was going. Sorry about that!" He paused and blinked, taking note of their attire. Well, there was only so much you could gather about a person over the network after all. "Oh? I didn't know you guys were demons too," Kanata said cheerily, tail wagging.

"I'M NOT A DEMON!"

Okay, that might have came out a bit to angrily, not that she particularly cared about that for the moment, but there was something really, really annoying about being called a demon (Though it was hard to miss the fact that she turned bright red in embarrassment while at it).

Priere couldn't get out of that outfit fast enough, so she pretty much threw herself through the door to the new world.

While Priere was angry, Culotte was just baffled. He had no idea how he could possibly look like a demon, although, of course he didn't even know demons could look like the one before them. Sure, this place had done something weird to their clothing, but still!

"Uh, no, we're just humans," Culotte explained, calmly, following Priere out through their door.

Kanata blinked and frowned, what was all that about? For such a minor comment, that reaction was a little extreme! Sure, Culotte's statement had helped oil the gears a little (just a little), but still.

"Really?" he asked, following them through the door. Was this that funny costume thing again? Ah, how unfair! "But you both look so convincing..."

Maybe Kanata meant that as an innocent comment, or even a compliment... but that just stung. Why were demons telling her she looked (or even 'was supposed to be') like a demon? She was never going to live that down wasn't she?

Good thing her costume disappeared right after, making it pretty clear to anyone that she was as human as you could get. And anyway, she wasn't a big fan of that previous world, without or without the clothes change, so this was a big improvement.

She wasn't quite expecting such a change of scenery though. "Whoa... it's beautiful."

Culotte really had no idea what to say to Kanata's comment, but was thankful when the costume vanished and they stepped into the new world.

Like Priere, Culotte had a similar reaction. "Wow..."

This place was, well, amazing! It seemed like it was some kind of forest, but it was nothing like any forest he'd ever stepped into. Straining his neck, Culotte peered high up into the tall, gnarled trees. Where were those lights coming from? The whole place seemed to be sparkling.

This was going to be exciting.

"Whoaa!" Kanata echoed Prier's earlier exclamation. Like dust in the wind, the exchange he had just moments ago--as well as the confusion that was tied to it--immediately left Kanata's head. How could it not, with the kind of place he just entered? It took a moment before Kanata picked his metaphorical jaw off the floor, then he wasted no time at getting a better look at things.

"I've never seen so many trees before!" (To be fair, he'd never seen many outside of pots either.) Kanata wandered a few feet away to look at and poke and touch and grab at a plant that was hanging near the path they were on. "It's all so glassy looking too! What is this?! Do you think it's real? Oh- can it be melted? It doesn't look like it would be very tasty..." There was nothing but excitement in his voice. What an amazing place!

For a moment there, Priere forgot that she was traveling around with a demon. In fact, it looked a bit more like back home, when she hung out at the orphanage. That Kanata, he was really like a little kid, huh?

"I don't remember signing up for babysitting... whatever..." she mumbled to herself. At least this wouldn't give them too much trouble, right?

"Well, if they're anything like the "plants" back in the city, I wouldn't try to eat them," she finally said to the puppy. That said however, even she was a bit curious about they were. Plants shouldn't glow like that, right?

"Any ideas about what we're supposed to do here?"

"Well," Culotte began, trying to figure out how to answer Priere's question. "We need to find a way to the next door, right?"

A door and a hallway was what they'd passed through so far, so it seemed logical this place would have one too. The trouble was trying to figure out where. The doors seemed like they could be anywhere.

"I guess we'll just have to explore."

That was Culotte's best suggestion. He hadn't seen anyone say anything about finding another door here yet.

"There's no guessing about it!" Kanata whirled around, a huge grin on his face. "We've got to explore! Just look at this place! It's amazing! Think of all the secret treasure about, the new potential villains who'll get in our way with their dramatic speeches and weird hair!" He clenched his fists together, determined and perhaps getting a little too into it. "I mean, what else is there to do?"

Kanata shuffled a little further down the path he was on, impatient and without the slightest clue or care to where it was headed. "Come on," he called back to the siblings. "Let's go!"

Dramatic speeches? Weird hair? "Erm... this isn't some play or something you know?" Priere stated to Kanata, though she was pretty sure it went all over his head. Someone had apparently read too many action books when he was younge-- wait? Treasure?

Come to think of it, this WAS an unexplored place, in an unexplored castle (or something like that, who really knew)... yes there could be some treasure around here. Sure, when she did look for treasure back home during their missions, she never found anything, but hey that just means they were bound to get lucky eventually.

"Get a move on, Culotte~" she said, running after the demonic puppy! Okay, so maybe they weren't so different after all.

Oh uh. He knew that look. It was probably the mention of 'treasure' that had made Priere react like that. It took little effort to guess that.

Culotte sighed as his big sister rushed after Kanata, and heaving his backpack a little higher onto his shoulders, took off after her.

Here they went again.

Although, even Culotte couldn't help but be a little excited himself. This was a new place to explore, after all.

"That's the spirit!" Kanata pressed forward, eager and delighted to explore and all too ready to beat up some enemies. There had to be some! Kanata thought, humming. Hiding in the shadows that flickered to and fro! Or was that just because of all the glossy plants? He paused a beat. Well, maybe if he took a better look from somewhere with...

Kanata skidded to a halt--only just now being hit with the realization: this place was confusing. If he glanced around he could see a path that seemed to twist around back on itself, another looked to lead to a dead end, a fork or three in the distance there, and even what looked like a glittering, twisted path of light up above. It wasn't even that he was worried about getting lost (oh no, getting turned around and having to try over again--that was part of the excitement!), but what if they missed something and/or went past The Point of No Return? How would they even know?!

Kanata looked thoughtfully down the path they were standing on. He couldn't see where it tapered off to, not with all these similar looking areas and branches in the way. "... uhhh, which way do we want to go first? Should we use crackers or whatever it was like in the story?"

Well looks like it's just the three of us.
