A pause lingered on the two. Clark closed his eyes as Azura shared her feelings on the situation
"Yeah, It's best not to think about it."
As Giorno sighed, Clark smirked. Looing at duo, Clark lightly back up
"Giorno and Touma, right? I'm glad to work with you. I'll be honest, I was sort of just drafted in to this whole "war" thing. "

Another pause.
"I just don't want anyone more to suffer. I've failed enough."
Clark sighed before his eye's bolted towards the little girl.
".....Is that a twelve year old?"

Gentaro approached Biscuit with a shocked look on his face.
“You’re 57!?” Gentaro shouted, before his face lit up with happiness.
“AMAZING!! What kinda cream are you using? My friend Miu would love to know that!”
Azure KiteKite inhaled a sharp breath. Still a bit tense, he couldn't help but flinch into a cautious stance as he saw the other's aura. He reminded himself that he was an ally, and forced his body to relax with a deep inhale.
He shook his head dejectedly. "No... Aura... My Aura... is... a pretty lady..."
He raised a hand above his head by a few inches, humming silently to himself. "This tall..." His hands then trailed down his back, trying to mimick Aura's flowy, cascading hair. "...White hair."
This isn't going anywhere, is it?
He dragged a hand down his face and slumped down into a disappointed heap on the ground. Who could even say Aura was still alive? He wanted to act, and he wanted to act now. He was getting antsy from standing around, but he was stuck here with no clue where to start. "Ne'rmind..." he grumbled.
His head had started to hurt again. It was frustrating! He'd never felt so debilitated before.
"How... can I find her...?" he finally asked, "I need to...!"
"How... can I find her...?" he finally asked, "I need to...!"
Mason Moretti
@Minerva @mintyy
"Yup. A banner of hope. We all come from different places, but some of us know each other. I'm sure we can work together, and..."
As he spoke, a cacophony of voices bickered back and forth nearby. Angsty teens, cold-blooded killers, terrifyimgly innocent little girls. Mason's smile looked a little more strained as he tried to block it out. He thought, "I'm used to these adventures having a motley crew, but it sounds like we're going to tear each other apart before we even begin."
He took a deep breath and released all of his tension in a sigh. "The multiverse, yeah. Big stuff, but we can save it."
Hearing a familiar word grabbed his attention. He looked towards this kid that walked up towards the group. "Aura?" he asked, "Do you mean like this?" He held out his hand and it began to glow with a small purple light. It was a piece of his aura, his very soul, and what fueled his abilities.
"Or... does Aura mean something else where you're from?"
While others seemed to be used to the concept of the multiverse already, Mason got the feeling this was one of this kid's first adventures beyond his home world.
Triss thought back to Caer Morhen and the Witchers. To Yennefer, Dandelion, and Geralt. They were all dysfunctional, but they managed to fight and be heroes in their own way.Mason Moretti
@Minerva @mintyy
Mason was at a loss for words at first. He could feel this kid about to fall into despair over his lost friend. He understood how difficult it would be to deal with such a loss. Very gently, he knelt down to lay a hand on the shoulder of a slumped-over Kite. It was clear that Billy's initial explanation didn't quite cut it for Kite. Mason tried to find the words to explain the situation, but none would come.
Instead, Mason found words that might comfort Kite. "I know you need to find her. I know you want to keep her safe. That's what we're going to do here. We're going to save everyone, everywhere. There's a big bad guy keeping her trapped in one place. We're gonna beat him, and save everyone, including Aura. Stay by me, and I'll make sure you get back to her. I promise." Mason stood up and offered a hand to help Kite to his feet. He knew he was making a big promise. He couldn't even be sure that they would succeed, but he knew that having hope would be important for everyone here.
"I'll try to keep you safe, but... can you defend yourself?"
Gentaro got a light slap on his forehead. "I already said what I did! Training. T-R-A-I-N-I-N-G! And don't blabber on about my age like that! Saying it once is more than enough. I'm a fragile and beautiful princess!" Now that they mentioned it though...A hand cupped under her chin Biscuit gave everyone in the group a good hard look. It looked like she was the only Nen user among them.
Maybe it was best to keep that a secret for now then as she continued on with the conversation. "Training I might add that only someone with my caliber is capable of. If you want to bask in my cutesy glory then I'm perfectly fine with that~!"
@Atomic Knight @Ver @Yun Lee @Capri @Everyone
Touma would be familiar with the murderous stare of a woman as Biscuit glared at him.

"Don't you know it's really rude to ask a woman their age? But...if you must know I'm 57. I haven't trained for 40 years for nothing you know!"
@Ver @Anyone
Cullen gave Jianyu a bit of a smirk. "Yeah, it helps a bit."
As for Biscuit, Cullen could not care less about what she had to say. "The grown-ups are speaking, okay?"
Billy just shook his head once it seemed tensions had calmed down and put his attention toward Emily. He regarded her for a moment, realizing he didn't recognize her.

"With the power we have?" he repeated. "No. Not at all. But that's why I think what we do next really matters. My power was drained gathering all of you, but if we can lower Revan's hold on reality, then the Demiurge's power will grow in turn. That means pulling more people out of their loops. Do you... understand? Because honestly, I'm not even sure I really understand."
@Yun Lee @Jeremi @York
Slightly embarked, Clark blushed
Oh. Sorry, Ma'am. You're looking great for your age"
Shaking his head, Clark turned back to Giorno. There was something about the young man that had Clark's interest peaked. Maybe it was the way he held himself? As Giorno stared Clark down, smirked as the man turned away. Clark called towards him.

“Ow!” Gentaro muttered as Biscuit lightly slapped him.
She explained that it was... training... that got her those youthful looks.
“What sort of exercise removes uh...” Gentaro said, pausing to try and calculate the math problem 57-12, “Fourty-five! Yes! What sort of exercise removes 45 years from your face?”
Gentaro got a light slap on his forehead. "I already said what I did! Training. T-R-A-I-N-I-N-G! And don't blabber on about my age like that! Saying it once is more than enough.

"A toast to the end of all tings... a touch too macabre for my liking." Sinestro hummed from his chair. "Still. I suppose we're all beyond judgement now."Siegward of Catarina

The rustling of plate and chainmail reached attentive ears as an onion-looking knight arose from the ground, clearing his throat and yawning. "Ah... that was nice little nap." He stood up fully and stretched his arms before looking around. "Oh! Well, if I knew I was having company, I would have prepared some soup!" he exclaimed sadly. "Hmmm... actually I'm afraid there wouldn't be enough for everyone..."
He gazed up at the fluorescent street light, squinting as he realized how bright it was. "What..." he muttered.
The mild quarrel happening nearby reset his train of thought, causing him to rush over. "Now, now! There's no need for violence!" he said worriedly, rummaging through one of his pockets.
"How about a nice toast?"
"Curious..." Thaal hummed to himself. "The Multiverse is even larger than I might have imagined..." He rolled his fingers as a miniature, hard-light dragon danced around his hand."No, not in my world. Magic is more common, one of my siblings can turn into a dragon." She answered simply.
"A toast to the end of all tings... a touch too macabre for my liking." Sinestro hummed from his chair. "Still. I suppose we're all beyond judgement now."
"To hopeless wars!" He raised his hard-light tankard high. "To unimaginable odds! To fighting unwinnable wars--"
"And to cheating, so that we might win them regardless..."
"Curious..." Thaal hummed to himself. "The Multiverse is even larger than I might have imagined..." He rolled his fingers as a miniature, hard-light dragon danced around his hand.

"I'll try to keep you safe, but... can you defend yourself?
"Indeed. If you need any help learning, I'd be glad to teach." Triss said, offering a smile.
"Really?" The Yellow Lantern hummed in disbelief. "You slept through all... I see..."Siegward of Catarina
@Jeremi @Capri @Sark @anyone
The Unkindled suddenly felt sick to his stomach. He gulped and scratched the back of his helmet. "To the end of all things? Hahahahaha..." he laughed nervously before speaking somberly, "That's... that's not what I meant at all..."
He then gazed upon Sinestro's power warily. Siegward had never seen such a skilled pyromancer before; nobody could control flame enough to put it to shape like that. Even the best pyromancers would end up burning themselves alive if they tried.
In any case, the word 'multiverse' further put a bad taste in his mouth, and he didn't feel like drinking at the moment. It triggered vague memories of being transported to another world by the God Hand. Surely that couldn't be happening again. After all, the group wasn't in a hellscape, they were just standing under a mundane light!
"Pardon me, sir, but I'm a bit lost here... I just woke up from a nap, so I was little absorbed, you see..."
Lucifer said:Lucifer stared for a moment as someone woke up from a nap. Honestly, most of the time he could care less about new people. " Excuse me, is that some more alcohol you produced out of your pocket? My own supply is running low, would you mind sharing some of yours?" He shook the flask to demonstrate it was 1/4 full.

Thaal pursed his lips and tensed his brow. Now this man truly was a curious creature. At least he'd called him 'Sir'. At last. Someone who knew his place. He lowered his voice so that only his immediate 'allies' could hear him.
"In short, the lives of everyone you've ever known and loved rests in the hands of our enemies. The world you once knew had been wiped from existence. Only this... rock remains. The random hand fate has selected us to try to restore things to the way they once were. As for our present company:
He pointed towards Jianyu. "She's worth keeping an eye on. Emotional. Reckless. Threatened me within the first 2 minutes of our arrival. In fairness, I was interfering in one of her many rock-headed spats with her fellow survivors."
He pointed towards Biscuit. "Bipolar. Two faced. She'll scream at you one moment and smile at you the next. Watch your tongue around her."
He pointed towards Cullen. "Venomous. Bullheaded. A little too similar to Jianyu, though I doubt either will ever admit to it."
He pointed towards Wiccan. "He's our self-appointed leader. He seems to know the most about what's going on out of all of us. Or, at least, he has shared the most out of all of us."
He nodded towards Azura. "And this woman is part dragon, or so she claims."
"And I am Thaal Sinestro. Master of Fear and Order. And, perhaps, one of three stable souls present. In summary, we're a band of misfits with clashing personalities and a lacking history of working well with others. As of this moment, our odds of success are slim, and they're growing slimmer with each passing argument. Welcome to the 'Resistance', Savior of the Multiverse. And who might you be?"

Clark's compliment seemed to have cheered Biscuit up a bit.

"Thank you for the compliment! But please don't call me ma'am. Biscuit is alright, but you can also call me Bisky! I'd actually prefer that."
"Training of the body and mind, of course!" Biscuit replied in a cheeky fashion. "If you have the drive you can do anything really."
