Against the Tide: Castle Oblivion [Mission]

CASTLE OBLIVION

Hey? Wasn't this place empty? Guess again. It seems that some of the wardrobe is pretty upset that it was just tossed aside! Oh, want to know the twist? They're white! Hope you can spot them against those horribly bleached walls!!

The white corridors appeared empty and silently as the entire castle lay almost abandoned. While the former Organization XIII had held the castle for some time and Sora's memories had housed some of the rooms, they were now white and empty. Everything had returned to the state they were in since Aqua had left Ventus here and created Castle Oblivion from the Land of Departure.

Within one of the white corridors sounded a breeze of wind as if something was active here. The corridor had one of the two doors open, leading into a white room with a large table and there was a fallen wardrobe as the sound of wind resonated through the room and into the corridor. Sometimes it appeared as if something was moving through the corridor. That there was yet life in the white room, it was well visible when suddenly the shadow of the fallen wardrobe, of the table fell on some movement as white robes floated through the place.

The sheets lingered through the place and were hardly visible with the bleached walls. As cloth chameleons, they flapped through the corridor and the room where the wardrobe lay on the ground. Sometimes the door opened up as something white flapped through its door and into the room.

The door at the other side of the corridor opened and, presumably, the cloth flapped on into the next room as they tried to fill the castle that lay otherwise silent. It wasn't exactly expected that there would be anyone around any time soon.

Joshua's curiosity had a hold on him. He saw a world on his travels that was not only caught between Light and Dark. but also nigh on void of activity of any sort. Of course, the logical thing to do was check it out, so there he was. The air around the front steps suddenly contained a 15 year old being, radiant white wings fading out of sight though he still felt them. He walked up to the door and pushed it open, surprised by a fold of white cloth that dropped to the floor, almost vanishing from sight.

The Composer tilted his head at the anomaly. Nothing was there to have held it up, noone was there to hold it. It was a mystery. However, his thoughts were interrupted by someone else arriving on the world behind him. He turned to face the newcomer. "Why, hello. You wouldn't happen to know where we are, would you?"

“Captain, you may let me off anywhere you wish. If this place is dangerous I do not want to put you I any danger.”

Enzeru’s words of concern were spoken as she gazed out of the window of the gumi ship, the world in front of them unusual in comparison to others she had been to. She looked back at the red haired woman whom had offered to drop her off on this stranger world after hearing rumors of it housing strange magic.

“Tch, I’m no captain. It’s a shame I got plans or I’d come with ya. Gotta go back to my home world and face the music. My boss is probably peeved I didn’t come in to work. Not that there’s much to do these days, ya know.”

The strange woman had been telling Enzeru about how she was a scientist back home. It was a bit hard to believe that a woman with such a lazy way of talking was smart enough to be an astronomer. Then again, maybe her world was a bit less harsh on such customs than others she had been to. All the same, she had been kind enough to give her a ride without asking payment or favor.

The red haired woman brought the small gummi ship in as close as she could to the front steps without landing. The raven haired mage dropped down to the ground, her soft boots making for a nearly soundless landing in even this seemingly quiet place. She expected to be along, however, someone else had apparently arrived here before she had. He turned and greeted her and inquired as to where they were.

“I only know what I’ve heard. I’ve heard this place is Castle Oblivion and that there is some kind of magic here. I was hoping I’d be able to observe it and possibly use it for my goals. I assure you they are pure in nature. Are you here for the same reason?”

Normally Enzeru didn’t just tell people her plans like this but he appeared to be a nice enough sort and it’s not like there was any stopping her when she was on one of these missions. Well, except for knocking her out or killing her again and she wasn’t even sure she could die again. Since this place was presumably dangerous, she would likely need all the allies she could get for this venture.

“I will warn you, if you are here to sight see you should be careful. I heard it’s dangerous here.”

[nexus]

a cold rush of wind streamed past Nexus and he could feel it hit it face and all over his body but not from the side like normal it rushed at him from downwards it felt off and kinda bothered him. He opened his eyes and a sinking feeling hit his stomach and in fact all over. He was falling once he started to brace himself he hit the ground and loud thud echoed but only for a moment before the once quiet world regained its silence.

Nexus rolled over and sat up seeing a familiar looking castle. He got up and completely darted past the two that had been standing near the door. As he reached the door he rubbed his chin it was on the tip of his tongue...and his body felt like he had been here but he couldnt really put his finger on it. But a name stuck out in his mind
"Castle Oblivion..." he had read that some where in both a book and..... He pulled a notebook out of his pocket and flipped through the pages. He skipped past a lot of pages before stopping and moving his gaze down the page
"Ahh! There you are.... So this is one of Azelea's area's " Before continuing he saw two people from the corner of his eye and when he saw them his mind knew that had been there the whole time.... but he was so deep in thought he hadn't seen them

"Im so sorry i didnt mean to ignore you both. Im Nexus, Nexus Velbright. Wait.... Are you guys here to help restore the world to nomal.. did Azelea send you?" his mind spun with questions but he didnt have enough time to get them all out.

Not that he minded, of course. It was one of the many perks of being what he so affectionately referred to himself as; a living battery. What would have had the average man screaming on the floor and begging for mercy, was to him comparable to sitting in a hot tub. Warm, tingly, and honestly one of the more pleasurable experiences in life. Of course, the next part wasn’t going to be so pleasant. While having super powers was fine and dandy, there was still nothing quite as unpleasant as his method of traversing between worlds. Truth be told, he was envious of people Gummi Ships, or even those who could rip apart the fabric of the universe and traverse between the worlds along the corridors of darkness. His method of travel was… far less pleasant, in comparison. Still, as much as he would have liked to lounge about the motel room he’d rented for the rest of the day, he had a job to do. After all, greed was one of the major driving forces behind ones motivation to complete work. And right now, Mark was feeling pretty greedy. Mainly because he was completely broke, and literally couldn’t afford to stay another night in the “fine” establishment he’d parked himself as for the past couple weeks, but that was beside the point. So with a cry, Mark let loose the magic coursing through his veins. The very fabric of his being – his every molecule- vibrated all at one, faster and faster until he appeared as nothing more than a blinding display of light. And with a thunderous crack, the young man vanished. Even as a bolt of lightning racing through the universe at impossible speeds, Mark could appreciate the view. Stars whizzed past him in streaks of light, worlds flashed in and out of his peripherals, and for a few moments he actually found himself enjoying the trip. Then he found himself at his destination, and the brunette prepared himself for impact. A bolt of lightning crashed into the ground not more than ten meters from the gathering of individuals. With a thunderous crack and a flash of light, Mark reappeared at the point of impact. He panted heavily, kneeling on one knee and doing all he could to focus his vision. He saw blurs of color and shape that were, slowly but surely, transforming into vaguely humanoid shapes as the seconds passed. Assuming he hadn’t completely miscalculated his trajectory, he could only assume these were the individuals he’d be working with for this particular job. Either that, or they would try and rend him limb from limb and pluck his heart from his chest like a pistachio. He rally, really[/i[ hoped it was the first one. ”So…” he drawled, pulling himself to his feet and running a hand through unkempt hair, ”Am I in the right place? Or are you a different ground of vagabonds preparing to storm the castle?” [ OC: Ugh, crap post is crap, my apologies. Sorry for the delay btw, I had a crazy weekend ^_^; ]

When Joshua had turned away, the white cloth vanished from sight. The sound of wind continued as a light breeze seemed to flow through the corridor. While the two conversed, this breeze continued even as Nexus showed up as well. When lightning crashed and Mark arrived, the breeze of wind suddenly created a howling sound as the entire walls of the corridor seemed to ripple towards the back end from where the group stood.

After this, the wind stopped and the corridor went completely silent. The white hall lay silently in wait. Whether the group continued to converse or act upon the suddenly movement of what seemed to be the entire corridor was up to them.

The other floors continued to howl silently, but this couldn't be heard on the floor that the group was at. As one went further up, there was some larger sounds happening, but as this was all not anywhere near the group, they would only learn of this later on.

Welp, I'm setting things a bit in motion. Not much yet to do since you're all at the door. I wish you all luck and I hope Riku catches his next turn. Sorry for the short post.

"If you are here to sightsee you should be careful. I heard it's dangerous here."

Joshua just leaned against the wall and smirked. "Castle Oblivion. Cheery name. Don't worry about me, I can handle myself. I'm just here for my own plans." Namely, the plan to find worlds that he could route the darkness and light through to keep the former away from Shibuya. Probably the latter, too, if he could manage it. His town was just fine without any so-called heroes and villains messing it up. The shades of grey matched the skyscrapers wonderfully.

Someone seemed to fall out of the air just then. The guy looked like he had a reason to be here, despite his odd way of showing up. He introduced himself as Nexus. Joshua walked over and held out his hand. "Joshua Kiryu. Who's this Azelea?" Yet another new arrival appeared, this time with a flair towards the dramatic. The newcomer asked if they were a group of vagabonds ready to storm the castle. The composer chuckles. "I'm here for research, not storming any castles. Why don't we just walk in the front door instead?"

The corridor behind the composer seemed to howl. Joshua turned to see the walls ripple. He got out his cell phone and held it open in his right hand. "Well, that was odd. No point in watching an empty hall, though. Let's go." He assumed that everyone else here had something to do in this castle. He was scoping it out for his plan, but having other people with him could help with that. He walked forward into the entrance hall, casting his eyes about to see what he could see.

Enzeru turned to see a young redhead was arriving now. As much as she enjoyed being around children, she didn’t want to play babysitter in such a strange and potentially dangerous place. Sure figured she would try to give them the benefit of a doubt and hopefully be surprised. All the same, she would take it upon herself to look after them, as she always seemed to do when it came to anyone younger than herself. Maybe this would help her atone for her past in some small way, or perhaps bring her closer to the answer she was actually here to seek.

“Azelea? I believe that was the name signed on a note left for me. However, I had heard about this place not long before I received it. I know it has already been asked but I feel I have to ask, myself; who is this Azelea person and why was I told to come here looking for what I seek?”

Before the mage could gain an answer another voice spoke up, causing her to jump. She had not seen them prior to hearing them speak, so she assumed he was arriving at the same time. It was weird that all these young men were arriving at the same time she was. Something about the way this one carried himself made him seem more mature than the others. Perhaps he had lived life harder or at least had some experience in fighting. He was different, but Enzeru couldn’t quite put her finger on it. However, when he spoke, she decided he needed a fact check.

“Vagabonds? I’ll have you know I was once a summoner, and highly respect on my world. Besides, you should be more respectful of your elders, former summoner or not. I‘m not here to storm any castles, unless they are keeping information valuable to me and refuse to give it up after a simple ‘please‘.”

Turning from the disrespectful young man in her presence she returned her attention to the one who arrived before her. It seemed he, too, was researching something. Perhaps he was looking for life after death as well. Maybe they could compare notes after they looked around a bit. She followed him into the hallway, her eyes open. Something about the emptiness of this place was beginning to make her uneasy. To break the ice, and the unpleasant atmosphere, she asked the question she was sure everyone else wanted to ask.

“Might I ask who you guys are?
