≋ The Power of Fears [Video/Action for Disney Castle]

[salvagedlight]

[The communicator turns on to a scene of movement through Disney Town as Ven tries to make his way to the Castle at the center of the world as quickly as he can, his armor clanking a bit as he runs. He's wearing it because he thinks it will help protect him from whatever this Mist is doing to people, but the situation is more than serious enough that some sort of help is needed, and he's hoping Mickey will have some answers. But he's tired and worn out and not really paying attention...]

Has anyone ever seen anything like this before on your home worlds? I haven't seen something like this or even read about it in any books, so this may be something from another world that's starting to creep into our universe and if it is we're going to need any help we can to defeat this. We've got so many people from so many different worlds here there has to be someone who has any idea what this is, or some way to fight it - we all need help here, please, anyone, if you know anything, tell the rest of us. [Because otherwise they are all going to die of exhaustion in short order, and that's not a joke. But for now, all he can do is ask and hope someone responds as he keeps going.]

[He's about a hundred yards out from the Castle when it happens.]

Ventus!

Wha-?! [Ven skids to a halt where he stands, turning back the direction he came at that... far too familiar voice. Far, far too familiar, and a far, far too familiar figure steps out from an alley, striding towards him with his hands folded behind his back and a small, confident, evil smile on his face. Ven doesn't even realize that his armor is dissolving, pulling back into just his pauldron as the man gets closer and he backs up a couple of steps, Keyblade appearing in his hand.]

M-Master Xehanort!

( He'd never wanted to see that Keyblade again. )

[Elizabeth didn't think much of the mist, so had spent the time out and about, seeing the occasional Ciel being a jerk hallucinations, which while mean and made her cry, didn't make her overly scare. She believed Ciel might not say these things himself, and given what has been going on as late she started to wonder if they might be true. Since the mist wasn't bothering her it decided to pull one over on her.]

You say you want to protect him? Don't make me laugh. You're more of a bother than a help.

[She turned her head, her sword now out and ready, she wasn't sure what was going on, but she knew the mist might be having a fault at this.]

That's not true, I can be of help.

How? It's not like anything he does he thinks about you or how you'll react. Face it he just doesn't care about you, he only cares about himself.

[Lizzie shook her head, her hand gripping the sword tighter.] You're lying!

Time to face it, he's moving forward and you're too stupid to realize. He doesn't have the time to deal with a little girl anymore.

[With that she was annoyed, the look was obvious as she gripped the sword harder.]

Shut up. Shut up. Shut up!

[Holding the sword up, she lunched forwards, aiming her sword towards the mist, but not realizing until she felt her sword hit something that she realized someone was already there. Once the mist started to move, revealing the poor unfortunate soul that was behind it. Upon the realization Lizzie's look of surprise and fear were clear upon her face as she looked on at the figure of Ciel, his chest bleeding as the sword was still embedded within. She soon pulled it out, causing the poor boy to fall to the floor.]

Ci...Ci...Ciel. [She was physically shaking, the sword dropping to the floor as tears started to stream down her face.]

I-I'm sorry. it wasn't meant to happen.  [She soon started to cry as she slowly made her way over, the fear truly taking over now as she knelt by his side.]

Ciel! Please don't leave me! I don't want to be alone! [She leaned over, her crying now uncontrollable. She felt guilty and at the same time scared to be alone. It wasn't something she would have wanted at this age. Not at all.]

[Between her psychic abilities and the restless fires in her makeshift shrine, Rei had felt this darkness coming before it ever arrived. Her senses, however, paled in comparison to the actual chaos and darkness that the fog brought. So many people were hurt and suffering; she wanted to help them all, but it was a near impossible feat. Especially when she had her own fears and personal demons to deal with.

Not wanting to chance her identity being outed, she remains as Hino Rei, not calling upon the power of Mars unless it becomes absolutely necessary. It proves to be a good decision.]

Look who it is, girls! [Rei recognizes the voice as Usagi's and turns to face the source, only to freeze. It's Usagi, Minako, Ami, and Makoto to be sure-- but they have cruel looks on their faces. She immediately tries to dismiss the images, turning away. It isn't really them. They would never look at her that way.] Geez, Rei. Why do we even bother trying to be your friend?

I told you. She's so stuck up, she won't even say hi to us!

Yeah! She's such a weirdo. All she does is sit in her little shrine and probably put curses on people with her freaky powers.

[This isn't real. It's not. Rei keeps trying to tell herself that, even clasping her hands over her ears, but she can still hear their jeers clear as day. It still puts a knife in her heart, hearing all the things she's been mocked and bullied for repeated in her best friends' voices. She presses her mouth shut, staring pointedly at the ground, fighting hard not to let any tears through.]

Let's just go. We have better things to do than to keep putting up with her.

[No matter how hard Rei clasps her hands over her ears, she can't tune out the sound of their cold laughter and the sound of their footsteps walking away, leaving her alone and friendless again. Eventually, she just lowers to the ground, pulling her knees to her chest and her hands still over her ears, still trying to block out the mocking laughter she swears she can still hear. No amount of telling herself it's not real makes it better because it feels real; that sense of loneliness and rejection is suffocating.]

[bitchblade]

[ oh, hadn't this been expertly timed. masane's arrival just so happened to coincide with the noxious mist that had been plaguing the worlds for the past week or so. not that she had been any sort of aware of this, ...at least not until she'd been spat out into traverse town. ]

[ but she'd not even gotten a moment to get her bearings when the jewel on her wrist started to glow. it erupted in a brilliant crimson burst and, to protect its host, transformed her into the witchblade. it wasn't all that hard to tell that the mist was dangerous and, as such, it wouldn't do her any good to succumb to its detrimental effects. she didn't know what they were and, truthfully, she didn't need to know. she just had to keep herself relatively safe until she could make some sense of this... ]

[ as eyes of amber scanned the haze ridden horizon masane could not help but to purr in absolute delight. ] I can feel it, ooh. [ a shudder. ] So much power lies in this world. [ a metal clink! followed each and every step she took as she moved throughout town. there's not a soul in sight and yet, still, she can feel several people and creatures nearby. ]

...this isn't any fun, [ the sensations proliferating from not only the mist, but also those around her is absolutely maddening and it must be dampened. it must be stopped. it must be destroyed. ] come on out and play. [ and with a subtle tonal incline she's leaping atop a nearby roof and disappearing into the mist with a bubbly chuckle. ]

( ooc | since the mist is still out and about i thought i would throw masane out there. i plan on making the original intro post i had made up later on, after the event's concluded. feel free to assume that she's one of the things that's been going bump in the night. )

[Action] & [Video] Destiny Islands

[renkinjutsu]

[Ed would have been a fool if he hadn't been paying attention to what was going on around him. He'd seen the posts made to the network, and had observed the mist from inside the home he'd built for himself and for Winry. Unfortunately, despite knowing that it would be safest to stay inside, with any ways for the mist to get in sealed off, that's not what he was currently doing.

With a towel held against his mouth and nose, Edward is currently striding through the streets that make up the town on Destiny Islands, looking for victims of whatever this attack is. With his free hand he reaches into his pocket and pulls out his communicator, turning it on.

When he speaks his words are muffled.]

Who needs help? I'm on Destiny Islands but if anyone knows of someone in trouble, let me know. There's got to be something that we ca-- [Edwards eyes focus somewhere off screen, his golden eyes widening in shock.]

You've got to be kidding me. Al.. Is that really you? [The hand holding the communicator drops to his side, the camera swinging around in a loop as it catches glimpses of a shadowy, emaciated figure]

Why... Edward? Why would you abandon me in that place? It should have been you! WHY DID I HAVE TO LOSE EVERYTHING?!

A-alphonse... That's...

SHUT UP!

[A second figure steps out of the shadows, setting its hands on mist!Al's shoulders protectively.]

Mom... [Ed's voice cracks as he sinks to the ground, the figure of his deceased mother not even uttering a sound to cause the reaction. Cruel smiles flash over both of their faces as they begin to loom in closer to Edward.]

We can be together forever now, Edward...

[The feed cuts off, video lost in mist. Anyone to happen across Edward after this will only find his crumpled form prone on the street.]

1st Illusion ﷼ First Impression - Video/Action in Traverse Town ﷼

[gorgeous_charmer]

[Startled to find herself in some random village, Caldina bolted to her feet only to nearly crash back down into the pavement. Her legs hadn’t been ready to hold her, cuts and scrapes laced her body. She winced as she caught herself and instinctively reached out to hold on to her other arm.]

Those critters- oughta know better… how to r-really…… treat a lady.

[Despite her injuries, she tried to keep a sense of humor, as she finally allowed herself to sink back onto her knees. Her outfit was a little more revealing that usual with the gashes sometimes coinciding with the material. She was wearing a long red cape that was torn to shreds near her left shoulder and looked suspiciously dark at the end of it, as if it had been in a fire.]

Now……just where the heck am I?

[And where’s Ascot? She felt guilty for not being there to protect the little guy. With any luck… Ascot’s “friends” (his monsters) had been able to help him, or he’d managed to fly off. A strange yet hesitant creature approached her, holding the very communicator that had been recording this scene. The Moogle wasn’t sure whether to call for help or start it’s welcoming speech. Considering the way things were right now... everyone was probably too preoccupied looking out for themselves or each other. The mist was heavy now.. and the moogle didn't relish the idea of being in it any longer than it had to be.]

You’re in Traverse Town.. Miss. Don’t worry, I’m here to help.

[ooc: The moogles text is in blue. Caldina had a nasty encounter with the heartless before she got here]

[wooden_horse]

You mean I can access the entire network through this thing?

[A little boy was looking over the communicator and looking more than a little dubious]

It looks.. A little primitive.

[Compared to the type of products that they made at Kaiba Corporation. The boy probably should have been a little more surprised to find himself in a foreign land than he currently was. Mokuba wasn’t entirely sure what to make of this place…. It looked suspiciously like something you’d see in a video game, the moogles weren‘t helping to dissuade him from this idea. If this wasn’t just a dream.. Then it could have been a life like simulation... but if it was only a simulation that led to a whole slew of other questions]

.. But I’m sure I can figure it out.

[His tone was cheerful displaying that he hadn’t grasped the gravity of his situation yet. Turning it over, he briefly looked at the back of the communicator before flipping it back over and addressing it]

This is Mokuba Kaiba here, the commissioner of the battle city tournament. I’d like some answers and I would like them immediately. If this is some kind of trick it won’t be tolerated and you will be disqualified. Trust me, it’ll be easier to turn yourself in now, before my brother finds you first.
