Allies or Enemies?

[Nodoka *No. 27*]

Nodoka walked around the island. She was in her school clothes, out of her pactio form. This is wierd... She thought to herself, her face hiddened behind her long bangs. Nodoka sighed quietly, making the only noise in the area. Suddenly she stopped, her telekinses was telling her that another person was within the distance. She knew it couldn't be out in the water, so she turned to look at the surronding are.

(oi... sorry for lame intro...)

[Fai D. Flourite]

The first sense that returned to him as unconsciousness receded and consciousness returned to take the reigns of control, was his sense of hearing, he noted in his still semi-conscious state that he was on the shoreline of a beach, the gulls gliding on the updrafts above calling out to each other.
Nor was it the next two senses that crept back into full function, his sense of touch and smell, his mind still a haze he idly became aware of warm velvety grit - sand, in contact with his sensitive pale cheek; he was laying face down upon his his stomach. Cool oceanic water creeping further up the shoreline caressing his thighs soaking through the durable material in turn cooling his flesh causing goose bumps to rise. The salt saturated sea breeze dominated his lung cavities making his narrow nose twitch in response.
But it was the fuzzy sense of sight that made him register that this location was the setting he last remembered occupying, blinking bleary eyed looking around in confusion for a few minutes only to be rewarded by a sharp harsh pain invading his azure orbs as they adjusted to great change in brightness.
The haze lifting from his mind like fog of a winter morning dissipating as the mid-morning sun chased it away from existence; now fully aware of himself and his environment, he rolled onto his back feebly sitting up and having to pause as a wave of nausea washed over him like the tide that lapped against shore he seemed to be stranded upon.
Dully Fai, via his own unique awareness, picked up upon of Nodoka's telekinesis signature . . .

[Xellos]

There was a snap nearby, and a distinct shift in the air in the area. A spot of darkness would have made itself apparent to Fai's senses directly beforehand.

Out of a swirling mass of shadows, a young man appeared, giving the ocean out before him a pleased, yet still curious look. He'd been all over this island already, and hadn't really seen much. Just a bunch of sand, weird trees and plants, and ocean every which way. There were ruins and a small village he'd inspected from a safe distance, but they were of little interest to him. He doubted that the villagers spoke common tongue.

"Hmn?" He turned, looking down at Fai. He had a strange energy pattern, unlike any he'd ever encountered before... He donned his usual, friendly smile and offered a hand.

"Oh dear! Are you quite alright?"

[Fai D. Flourite]

A far stronger aura signature hit Fai like a tone of bricks when a stranger materialized and for a split second his heart turned to pure ice as felt something twitch in the back of his mind but whatever the blonde had braced himself for it never came – his secret dark curse did not activate; with that realization absorbed his emotional walls were resurrected and he stood to his feet able to expertly cover all weakness.
With up turned lips to form an equally friendly smile to match this individual that had approached him so eagerly, the oddball magician accepted the offer slim white gloved hand, in his own ebony clad hand – the direct contact with the man sent a jolt up Fai’s lanky arm and back to brain warning him of the equally massive of astral energy this person or rather ‘being’ hosted, his curse may have not activated but it was close enough that it made the magician feel somewhat uncomfortable.
The smile however never wavered despite the stress, “I am fine thank you, recovering quickly enough that should not need to cause worry – but thank you for the concern anyway. It appears I am not where I last recalled being. Are you a native to these parts – perhaps you can tell me where I am exactly?”

Fai looked extremely out of place; he was dressed for a completely opposite climate, black thigh high boots and long black gloves that almost reached his armpits, the rest of his attire was concealed be a thick ivory, fluff lined coat that sported strange foreign blue patterns upon its spectacular fleece.

Fai intently examined the violet haired man whom mimicked a hauntingly familiar smile - something about him; he needed to take care around him.

[Nodoka *No. 27*]

Nodoka moved over to the area where she felt their energy. There she noticed two people, both look to be older than her. Oh... No place to hide... She thought, her eyes flickered side to side underneath her long bangs. Nodoka then looked down at her clothes, which it seemed that she wasn't the only one out of place, seeing both in different clothing than her. If only I can find my group... Maybe they might know something. Nodoka moved over to them quickly, she found more safety in numbers.

[Xellos]

Xellos cringed inwardly at the sheer amount of positive energy that surrounded this very tall man. He looked as if he had come from somewhere very cold-- dressed in such a heavy coat, and long gloves and boots... Somewhere far to the north? The clothing wasn't entirely unusual to him, and he was visited by the very brief desire to steal that coat. He, of course, suppressed it, but the thought entertained him and made the smile easier to keep.

"Well...." He mused, tapping his in thought, "I'm not entirely certain where we are, either. I'm from... elsewhere as well. It appears this place is a gathering point of sorts..." He paused, originally intending to continue on his tangent, but the sight of another person stopped him. One eyebrow vanished completely under the carefully cropped violet bangs.

"Hello, miss." He greeted perkily, that smile inviting her to come and join them, "Are you lost, too?"

[Fai D. Flourite]

With hair the colour of grapes, eyes up turned into half circle and a smile Fai recognized as one akin to his own deceptive grins; the other man was significantly at least one head shorter than he was but that wasn't exactly unusual, the magician from Celes was well aware he was abnormally tall and lanky.
Noting slyly, the gleam of desire as the stranger's eyes lingered on his spectacular plush white coat, despite the climate being rather humid due to Fai's lean build he didn't feel extremely uncomfortable under the layers; eventually however he would need to peel the extra layer off so he would pass out from self inflicted over heating. But not just yet.
The man's response caused Fai's own rivaling smile to falter as he took time the time to absorb the man's nasally explanation. So he too had ended up here with no explanation as to how he had ended up here, this situation was getting curiouser was curiouser by the minutes and it wasn't about to stop there; along with the gentleman he was conversing with Fai's attention was drawn to the third presence he had been aware of in the back of his mind, a small petite girl perhaps roughly the age of Princess Sakura, dressed in clothing that gave her away that she too seemed to be sailing in the same boat as they were; judging by her body language she was very anxious and although his unintroduced companion invited the child to them he decided to enforce the invitation with a friendly smile and nod.

[Kurogane]

Kurogane walked on the beach, his boots sinking into the soft sand. He had just finished fishing, and was at the moment, brushing loose sand particles off of his clothing. As he continued to walk, Kurogane noticed three figures. Immediately, he regonized one of the three figures as Fai, but the other two, he had not met yet. At first, Kurogane was extremely angry at the magician who would always give him stupid nicknames, but then, Kurogane just became really pissed. "You are so dead." Kurogane muttered to himself, a light smile on his face.

He cautiously walked towards the threesome, standing near the edgeline of the jungle in case on of the three was dangerous. As Kurogane carefully manuvoured through the rifts between jungle and beach, and finally was firmly on the beach ground. Kurogane made no noise apporaching the trio, his boots sinking slowly through the sand, but making no sound. By his examination, there was a girl that looked the age of Sakura, both Sakuras, and then a young boy. I definitely haven't seen those two before. Kurogane noted to himself as he slowly advanced towards the weird group.

When Kurogane close enough, he said bluntly towards Fai, "It seems you found yourself on the blasted piece of land magician." Kurogane smiled, and examined Fai from top to bottom. He was still in his magician clothes, and he seemed a bit out of wack. "Do you need some help?" Kurogane asked as he was standing right in front of Fai, his towering, lean figure above Fai's. "So?"

[Xellos]

The beach was getting steadily more crowded, and Xellos couldn't outright complain. The new arrival that knew Fai was seeping negativity, and it was counteracting the natural optimism the taller blond magician was putting off. While he had to crane his neck to look up at him, it was worth it. He was feeling better already.

And then, there was another girl. Another teenage girl. Aha. He had high hopes for this strange island now. Another party, it seemed, was forming. He'd been with a similar one before, but so far he was only seeing the faintest hints of similarity from the guys.

"Goodness, aren't' we becoming quite the little oddity?" He mused aloud.

[Fai D. Flourite]

[Neh. We have a lil problem I'm stumpled in over. This is by no means to embarrass anyone. So you shouldn't feel that way. But this topic is set before 'Lost Memories' topic and the 'Where Am I?' topic; while I figured out how to work with Kurogane's post. Sakura's has me completely stumpped because this happens before Fai meets Sakura in the 'Lost Memories' topic. I can't think of anyway around this but bring it to your attention. Please be aware I'm not trying to embarrass or hurt anyone I'm just really lost that I can't figure out what to post from my end.]

[Nodoka *No. 27*]

Nodoka smiled lightly at both of them. Then she answered Xellos question. "Yes I am." she said kind of quietly, folding both of her hands in front of her. "And I believe both of you aren't from here." nodoka said, looking down. She then looked up again to see another boy come their way. A lot of people are coming this way... She thought, keeping a look out at all three of them. Then hearing Kurogane talk to Fai, to her it seemed they have known each other. I guess we're all from different places. She thought. Also noting everyone's clothing, that it could of been from different places in the world.

((sorry I haven't been around, school and Civil air Patrol had gotten in the way...))

[Fai D. Flourite]

Fai wondered briefly wondered if he was loosing his touch, maybe that vow 'not to use his magic' was catching up with him - it was perhaps possible with a lack of using his abilities that he'd loose a some of his edge, allowing Kurogane to sneak up on him like he had - granted the man was a skilled ninja but never once Fai over looked the dark haired man's aura signature.
Easing his surprise with the reasoning over the fact he was still recovering from the 'long distance' traveling.
Smiling up at the familiar warrior stooping over him, Fai masked his weakness well - distracting him by throwing up his arms in the air and wrapping those lanky limbs around the man's unguarded neck embracing the grump ninja, "Oh Kergy! You've come to rescue me! How thoughtful of you! - My knight and shining armor!"
Fai teased mercilessly, his pale face sporting a smug smile as he acted as a helpless damsel in distress.
Deeming Kurogane had suffer embarrassment for now, Fai released the red faced man and stood back interlacing his fingers behind his head in a casual laid back action, grinning like the chesire cat from the old fairy tale 'Alice in Wonderland' he took the initiative to introduce everyone, "Ah allow me introduce myself and my friend here; he is Kurogane, also known as Kuro-pipi, Kuro-wanwan, Big Dog and Kuro-Daddy as well as many of alias' - I'm Fai D. Flourite also sometimes known as Big Cat, Fai-Mommy and some other various nick names!"
Nope Fai had no shame, it seemed.
Inclining his head in Nodoka's direction, his cheeky mischievous smile transformed to a charmingly friendly one that would easily put an angry tiger (or grump puppy) deceptively at ease in his presence, "Quite right young madam - you are a very clued in lass; I must say."
Fai praised her without mercy.
"Don't you think she is smart, Kuro-tan?"


[not my best quality post. Still sick D;]

[Kurogane]

Kurogane sighed at the amount of people that were gathered, well half-gathered around each other. One of the group members, the guy with violet hair, mused out loud that people were starting to get oddity. Well not me, but I believe the others are Kurogane thought to himself, waiting for Fai to answer him. The girl with violet hair said she was, and nodded at the boy with violet hair. This is absolutely wonderful Kurogane thought to himself exasperated.

Then, Fai was suddenly around Kurogane, his lanky arms around Kurogane’s lean body. “Hey! You ge-“ But, it was already too late, Fai started blabbing, and Kurogane just groaned to himself. When Fai mentioned Kurogane as his knight in shining armor, Kurogane burst, “I’m not your knight in shining armor!” Kurogane seethed. Sure, Fai was okay, but still his remarks about Kurogane were always annoying. Fai only just smiled, and then, he introduced both himself and Kurogane. Kurogane rolled his eyes, and once again, inwardly groaned, but Fai was as happy as ever. “The idiot.’ Kurogane muttered under his breath when Fai was introducing himself.
