Magic Knight Rayearth | Ascot (Sorry I play him from the first half ^^')

[monsters_bff]

"Hey! Watch where you're going!," He shouted when one of the locals neglected to catch sight of this punier newcomer. The stranger didn't stop, which only served to further ruffle the boy's ire. " If you knew who you were dealing with, then you'd treat me with more respect."

"Did you hear me!? I'm talking to you".

With a huff, Ascot soon came up with a solution that drew a smirk to his lips. "I'll show you... it's time that I introduced this place to my friends anyway." Raising his hand aloft, he prepared to summon of his massive creatures. No one in Cephiro understood these beings, always calling them monsters, and being generally terrorized by them. Ascot couldn't stand people like that, but in this case he was looking forward to exacting some petty revenge for an innocent oversight. Only.... nothing came of his actions. No monster came forth... there he was just standing there in the middle of the road, completely defenseless and more importantly.. alone. The realization was slowly starting to sink in, and the prospect was crippling.

That's fine! Poor Ascot!

[guru_clef]

Clef had been coming up behind, just walking, when he witnessed that. Part of his heart went out to the kid, but he had sided with Zagato, and that couldn't be forgiven.

So before Ascot could notice him, He swung his staff and summoned Fluya. The flying fish was smaller than usual, the size of a large horse, but a familiar creature was a familiar creature. Clef sat on her back as she swam through the air to float in front of Ascot. Possibly the only time he could look down on anyone from home, physically. Especially since standing the two of them were about the same size.

"I suppose that you being here means that the Knights have one less challenge to face then." His face was hard set. "And you're not going to be able to summon your friends here, Ascot." And then the slightest softening. "They're fine, they're just not here."

His creatures are his life.. what's he gonna do now D:

[monsters_bff]

With this newfound knowledge of his inferiority, Clef probably could have summoned lightning directly in front of the boy and not roused Ascot out of his shock. That being said, when Fluya came into his field of vision for a moment Ascot thought that his summoning had just been delayed. He nearly exhaled a sigh in relief when it became obvious that that was not the case at all.

Recoiling defensively as if he expected the master mage to launch some assault of his own, Ascot tried to maintain some illusion that he had any fight left in him.

"This is only a temporary setback! The Knights haven't seen the last of me," He boldly though shakily professed. How he wanted to argue with the next thing that Clef said. If Clef was able to summon a creature, why couldn't he? Knowing that his friends were fine would have been a comfort to him but he was unsure whether to believe one of his enemies or not.

Also..... wait a minute here," Shouldn't you be stone right now?"

Suffer. Like the rest of them.

[guru_clef]

"Stone?" He asked, brows raised. "Hardly. And if I have to keep you here to keep you from harming the knights, so be it. You're newly Wakened, Ascot. Powerless. This isn't Ceiphro. Whole new world."

As if to demonstrate this, he sent Fluya back into his staff and created a shimmering sheild around him, so he could float in the sphere at the same height, completely safe. Jane had taught him spherical shielding. He... He missed her. And Nash. Whatever he had to do, Ascot could not be allowed to go back to sleep as they had. He needed to be kept here.

He rested against his staff, as if there were level ground in his shield.

"the Knights will save the Pilliar from Zagato. But you? Ascot, you are going to tell me what in the world possessed you to betray the princess. Betray our whole world."

How was he going to keep Ascot away from Link?

Shadow. He'd get Shadow to help, Shadow would understand. So the harder part would be keeping Ascot away from Zelda...

[younghero]

Link was taking Epona for a ride, trying to take advantage of the calm between Storms. He was pleased to be himself and to be the right age to ride his horse. The Hylian was a little surprised to see an unfamiliar boy looking....lost.

He slowed Epona down and made her stop, not far from the newcomer.

"Hey. Are you okay?"

[monsters_bff]

The question fell upon deaf ears. Ascot was still trying to ascertain why his summoning had failed. "This.. this doesn't make any sense. Why wouldn't he come when I called..... he always...". Also, outside of Caldina, Ascot didn't really have many interactions with those of the humanoid variety. He usually kept to himself and his creatures.

When it finally dawned on him that there was someone else there, he glanced at Link though it was hard to tell through those thick bangs of his and he replied with,"What are you looking at?!".

[younghero]

Great. One of those.

Link patted Epona's neck, sighing to himself.

"Just seeing if you're lost. Part of my job with the Task Force is to help new people."

:D

[death_from_above]

The orange cat dropped from the stone he had been napping on to look up at him, feeling almost bad for the kid. Not bad enough to keep from having some fun, of course.

"Having a problem there, kid?" he asked, looking up at him.

The cat came back 8D

[monsters_bff]

"What would you know about it?!" Aggressive and argumentative was going to be the flavor of Ascot's dialogue today. Having been taken from his own world and dropped off wherever this was was not sitting well with him.

When he looked to the source of the voice he had to do a double take. "Hey.... who said that?!" Looking to either side, all he saw was the cat.

ROFL

[death_from_above]

A huff. "Why do I get all the new people? Kid. Look. At. Me. Then do the smart thing. And feed me."

Please ignore actual icon

[papaillon]

Yes..... that kind of pain. It called to him. The portal opened, deep in his lair. A hand raised, caught a pale butterfly. He infused it with his power, then sent it to the window. It vanished. And reappeared from behind the local bar, flying towards Ascot. It landed on his hat from behind, opening a line of psychic communication.

"You miss your friends, and this world has stripped them from you. The last world no one understood them. But I understand them, and you. I am Papillon. I can give you the power you crave, turn the people that would hate your friends, even here, into them. All I ask for in return is one small favour when the time comes...."

[monsters_bff]

With the mental condition that Ascot was in it left him open to such a proposal. That being said, he had to question it a little. "Whose there? Whose... talking to me?" From where? This was getting really strange. The voice seemed so very close and yet far away all in the same stroke. There certainly wasn't anyone nearby.

"How do you know so much about them?" Or Cephiro for that matter. If this wasn't Cephiro then how could this stranger know a thing about it?

To be honest, this deal wasn't much different than the one he was already in with Zagato. "What's the favor...?"

[papaillon]

"As I said, I am Papillion, and you are Le Monstreamor. I know all I know from you. Your pain, your desperation for your friends called to me, and I am here to help. I will give you the power I promised. All you have to do is get for me the Miraculous' of Chat Noir and Ladybug. His ring, her earrings. Bring me that and I shall make of this world a place where no one will ever attack your friends again!"

Page stretch warning, mostly the same start as with Hikaru.

[agathaheterodyne]

The orange creature ran past her, skidded to a stop, doubled back, and came up to sniff him, curiously. It was some sort of weasel with six short stubby legs, bolts in its neck, and far too many teeth. The pause gave the redheaded woman chasing it a chance to catch up.

"If I find out that you're doing this to help with my training," she gasped, swooping in to swipe it up. Panting, she looked up to Ascot, holding the creature around it's middle. "Sorry about that..." Aww, he was a cute little kid. If not for the hat, she'd want to ruffle his hair.

[monsters_bff]

The creature instantly got the boy's attention. It might not be one of his massive creatures but at least it wasn't human. Plus it had six legs and long teeth, it looked pretty cool for a small beastie.

"You better watch it... I doubt the people here will want you around". He was just about to try and befriend the strange animal when the red head butt in.

Oh great. It already had an owner. Whatever. Folding his arms across his chest he tried to appear disinterested. There was enough on his plate already without some annoying girl bugging him. "Sorry about what. He didn't do anything."

[agathaheterodyne]

"Oh, good," she said, putting the creature on her head. "He scares some people. Glad he didn't disturb you. Seems to be about fifty fifty in this world, actually," she considered, rocking back. "The ones freaked out by constructs and monsters, and those who think they're cute." Something for her to think about later.

Re: Magic Knight Rayearth | Ascot (Sorry I play him from the first half ^^')

[memories_of_me]

The young woman that was passing looked to be late teens or early 20s. But her clothes... Yeah. Good luck with that. She was in black legwarmers with silver stars that actually matched a real star map. Over that was a black skirt, silver and black striped leg warmers, black high tops with silver accents. She wore a black button down blouse with silver buttons and flared sleeves. Her hair was in a tight french braid, with a black scrunchie. Someone looks like she escaped the space 80s.

Kid. A new kid. Just. Freaking. Great.

"Look. Kid. Go that way," she pointed. "Big blue box. Ask for the Doctor. Tell him..." she smirked. "Tell him Rose Tyler sent you."

[monsters_bff]

Being from Cephiro, appearances could be misleading anyway. She could be in her 20s or 1000s for all he knew. He couldn't have guessed that the star map was a legitimate one given his background but she certainly was wearing some peculiar ensemble of items. Where did she come from where they dressed like that?

Ascot crinkled his nose up at the notion of being given orders by some stranger. "The name's not kid and you can't tell me what to do." Spoken like a true brat.

"Tell 'em yourself." Even if it was a lie. Part of him almost wished he was in on the joke. He wasn't above causing a little mischief for others.

[memories_of_me]

She laughed a bit. "Alright then. If you don't like kid, let's go with brat. I can be nice that way." Nice, Me? Hardly. "And I can tell anyone what to do. Fun of being Me." No one ever said they had to obey, after all.

"And if I told them myself, they'd know I was lying. And I'd have to actually interact with them. Where's the fun in that?"

Here, have a Young!Zelda

[wisdominshadows]

"Well, maybe they don't want to talk to you," came a young girl's voice from the side. Zelda had come over to see if the newcomer had been hurt, but now she had her hands on her hips and was looking at him in irritation.

"People who say things like 'I'll show you,' are usually being mean. Is that what you want to be?"

Excellent! I'll take one!

[monsters_bff]

"They should have thought about that before they almost knocked me down!" Simple logic. Ascot turned to face he girl. If she was trying to look intimidating than she was failing. Then again so was he without his giant creatures at his side.

"I don't need a lecture." He huffed, half tempted to shove her but that just seemed pathetic. What he needed was his magic. "What are you supposed to be anyway?"

[wisdominshadows]

"There's a Storm going on, now, and lots of people in the city are affected. They probably didn't even notice you."

She wasn't trying to be particularly intimidating, actually. She didn't need to be, and usually didn't think much of it one way or another. But his attitude was off-putting, and she wasn't going to hide her response.

"My name's Zelda, and I was going to help you. But if you're just going to be nasty, maybe I shouldn't."

Think you met Kaylin in RC. JIC reminder - Trigger warnings like whoa.

[kaylinneya]

Kid. kid in distress. Kaylin did what she usually did. Shoved all of her emotional **** on the back shelf and came over to him, face open and concerned. Outside of reality storms, her expressions were only ever so gentle and unguarded when there was a kid involved.

"Hey, you'll be okay," she said quietly. "I get it. this place is **** but at least you're not alone. I'm Kaylin Neya. I'm a Hawk at home and on the Task Force here. So it's my job to help you out, okay? What's your name?"

She was in a chainmail shirt under a tunic and over a short sleeved leather shirt which was over a long sleeved shirt with buttons and the sleeves. She wore long leather pants undr and heavy boots. At her waist was a thick belt with a dagger on either hip and some generic necessities like a night stick and other such hanging from it. Her ragged hair was pulled up messily and held in place with a stick. On her face was a mark like a tattoo of nightshade, and on her wrist was a VERY expensive looking bracelet of antique gold, inset with three gems.

I did! Briefly :3

[monsters_bff]

Shaking himself out of his temporary stupor, he looked up at the girl as if he had to take a moment to make sense of what she was saying. "Alone?.... " His voice growing softer, colder. "That's where you're wrong..."

"I am alone". His friends had mysteriously abandoned him in a strange land. What he would have given to see them or even Caldina. She was like an older sister to him, one of the only people who ever had expressed a genuine concern for his well-being. Crestfallen, he wished he could just hp on a floating rock and make a hasty retreat to get some time to himself to figure this all out... but that was not to be.

"Kay-line-ya...?" He repeated it back because it sounded just too ridiculous for words. "What sort of a name is that?" He didn't want to talk. He really didn't but talking at least could help push some of his darker emotions aside, even if it was only temporary. "Ascot... and I'm not looking to be anyone's special project." The rude edge to his voice was a clear defensive mechanism. "Just tell me where this place is and the quickest route out of here..."

Cool

[kaylinneya]

"I'm wrong a lot, Ascot," who named their kid something that sounded like a creative swear word? "But not so much about this. The people here maybe weird, but they're a *.... a lot more accepting and...well.. weird... than anywhere else." She shook her head. "You can just call me Kaylin. I picked the name for myself when I was about your age, maybe a little older. And I made it my life. You're not my special project, kid. Trust me on that one. But... I want to help anyway. That being my job and all."

"This place is called Nautilus. If you have legends in your world about Ravellon, or the heart of Chaos and Shadows... this is it." And she hates it here, which is clear on her face. "And if I knew a way home that actually WORKED, I'd be long gone."
