Going to see Kaosu (inn people)

[Schala]

Schala walked with her allies. The forest was really dark and a bit scary, but at the same time the trees were very beautiful. Fairy lights sparkled in the mist.
The way she could see was by a magic lantern she had bought that never went out. Ozma was leading her, but she thought of herself as the guide of her other companions. The forset, though beautiful, did bring Schala some fear, but she herself was courageous enough to face any fear. She did not let it rule her life.
Following Ozma, Schala mainly concentrated on her companions' welfare and the beauty of the forest. She was fearful and at the same time excited. She was going to meet a goddess!

[Augen]

Yuugenmagan floated silently behind the prophet, attracted to the light but at the same time trying not to bump into anyone or anything. Her abyssal eyes spun around the group, ever alert at the thought that they could be attacked at any time. It was important that they keep a close watch on their surroundings... This place was not safe at night...

"Are we there yet," Yuugen asked, for about the fifteenth time since they left the inn.

[Five-minute Cat Nap]

Shiro followed the prophetess, his knives, though concealed, at the ready. This forest was boring, creepy, and disturbing. But really, mostly creepy. As Shiro padded through the forest he began to focus on other things. One, of course, being the candy that Ozma had vaguely semi-hinted that he'd get after this adventure. "Caaaandy!" Shiro murmured, imagining gooey taffy, or chocolate bars, gumballs, or sugary-crystal hard candy.

[Genshuku]

Ozma led the way, like Ozma said she would.

It was nice to not really have to be the caretaker of all these people, and could focus on remembering which way was which in this forest. Of course, the sheer power level of all the people inside made it far easier to locate it. All she had to do was avoid taking a wrong turn.

Candy Lover Shiro would probably be pleased to know that he could get candy in the shops, but probably didn't have any credits (it's a shop exclusive thing) to buy any. So she decided not to mention it.

Yuugenmagan was getting...well, annoying. Really, really annoying. But it wasn't as bad as Kaosu. She had been giving the answer of 'No', but now she could not give that answer, because they were actually here.

"Yes, we are here. Now stop asking."

And here they were, Kaosu's castle. Rather large, but probably larger in the inside. It looked imposing enough, open door and all. And on the door, a message:

----------------------

'Welcome. There is not much to say, but here is the rundown: The grunts in here will not try to kill you in any way. If you ignore this, then you will certainly pay for it later. There are locked doors, and the keys are hidden inside this castle. Those that hold them will be blatantly obvious, and you may beat up the one holding them (but again, refrain from killing them). I await the heroes of the land to make their progress through here. Good luck.

-- Kaosu'

----------------------

It was glowing too, so it was nigh impossible to miss.

Inside there was a main hall, which had a room to the left and a room to the right, and a royal looking door straight ahead. The royal looking door had a single keyhole.

The door to the left was labeled as what it was: Shop. It also had a little message underneath that, for those that got close enough to the door to examine it (or the far-sighted*). And, there was a few voices coming from there as well. Sounded like....well, almost like a lecture.

-----
'Yes, we sell to you too. We sell to anyone. But leave your money at home, we have a different method of pay. It still involves currency though, don't get any weird ideas.'
-----

And to the right, a door labeled 'Mess Hall'. Quite simply so. But, there was quite the noise coming from that general direction. Perhaps the buzz of activity? There was no one in the hall, so it might be the buzz of activity.

....And there was someone sitting to the left of the entrance door, dressed in a black kimono, had blue hair, and had some weird thing that those that knew what a Satori was would call a 'Third Eye.'

Shouki** knew they were not with Drake's group, and continued to sit. He'll be here eventually.

*(No points if you know who I'm talking about.)
**(Still waiting.)

[Schala]

Schala gazed at the castle walls. She had a feeling of fear and anticipation at the same time. How should she introduce herself to Kaosu?
As she walked, Schala practiced curtsying and saying, "Greetings Kaosu-sama. My name is Schala." Was that not good enough? She worried. She knew it was very unwise to anger a god.

[Augen]

Yuugenmagan looked around, examining the room curiously. "... This is it? I thought it would be a lot more chaotic and hellish. This is actually quite relieving." Her abyssal eyes opened and started to focus on each of the doors, and then on the sign upon the shop door. "Hmm..."

[Five-minute Cat Nap]

Shiro looked around in glee at the Castle. "Ooooh! This place'll be fuuun~!" Shiro stated, the area looking quite interesting to him. "So many places! So many people! And oh! Candy! Mmm..." Shiro's voice dropped off, as he imagined the sugary goodness. Suddenly he was wrenched back to reality by stepping on a sharp stone. "Now that wasn't fun at all" Shiro exclaimed, pouting slightly as he removed the stone from his foot.

"So we get to meet Kaosu? Oooh! The Goddess of Chaos seems like she'll be really, really cool!" Shiro spoke. Of course all the demons didn't look to interesting, after all that message thing said they wouldn't attack. Hehe! We get to beat people up for fuuun!~ Shiro thought, a devilish smirk appearing, and his ears twitching back and forth.

[Genshuku]

"Of course, before you all meet her, you have to GET to her. And that will probably be the bulk of your stay."

And that was true. Ozma was usually right, after all. But Ozma found something quite unnerving. Why was there no grunts out and about? Normally, they would have been all ov--

Shouki interrupted Ozma's train of thought. Normally, Ozma being a being of chaos, this would have been rather hard to do. But, the thought was so strong it stood out amongst all the other thoughts, and thus decided to answer the question Ozma was thinking. Due to being a Satori, this was quite possible to do.

"The place was recently attacked by a time-stopping maid and someone else with a passionate urge to kill youkai. It would make sense that there would be no one out and about, either they're dead or in recovery and far away from anyone else."

And she was quiet once again. Ozma however, was now going to be pretty busy. So she talked, half to Shouki and half to herself.

"Hm...I see. They're probably taken care of now, so I'll just go ahead and set things straight."

Now, Ozma talked to the group, having to make a slightly earlier than normal quick farewell.

"It seems things have happened in my absence as usual so I must be off."

And with that, she teleported away. She probably could have simply did that earlier, but she had her own reasons not to.

And Shouki spoke again. It looked like she was bored with waiting, yet also content.

"The god of chaos is probably not one for formalities. Formalities are an order thing. And if you beat up everyone for fun, little kitsune, it'll end badly."

Mind-reading is so handy.

3 doors, one appears to be the main door (but is locked), one where a conversation is coming from (Shop), and another where louder noises can be heard from farther away (Mess Hall).

Better pick somewhere to go. Sitting around won't get much done.

(I recommend you read everything my posts have to say. Tl;dr is silly in an RP forum.)

[Schala]

Schala turned toward the shop door. "I sense they are talking about something important," she said.
She turned to Shouki. "Should we go? I'm a prophetess, so I sense that the conversation may need to be listened to. On the other hand, I sense something is not right...what to do? Oh, my prophecy power is so useless!"
She just wanted to speak to Kaosu, but the main door was locked.
"Let's search for the key," she suggested. "I sense that we will find it. Never fear, we shall speak to the Goddess of Chaos. Do take my advice, Shiro. Violent acts will only end in ruin."

[Augen]

"Hmm... A shop? Maybe they sell the key," Yuugenmagan said, obviously not thinking very logically... Of course, it didn't seem like logic would be of utility in this place. "But they said they don't take money... What are we supposed to pay them with?" She pondered for a moment before getting dizzy and rubbing her head. "Nuuuuu... I can't figure it out..."

[Five-minute Cat Nap]

"But that message there says some of the grunts have the keys!" Shiro stated, pointing back at the message. "So we just got to go around until we find that one, and beat him!" Shiro exclaimed, swishing his tail. "Oh! But the shop is good! Hope they sell candy!~" Shiro spoke loudly.

"No use sitting around! Let's go go go!" Shiro shouted, running up to the shop door and opening it. S'too bad that lady left us, she knew the way around here. Shiro mused. Shiro's hands switched, whereas before they'd been swinging around, now, he kept his left hand swinging and moved his right hand from the door's handle to one of his knives.

[Genshuku]

Shiro's Point Of View*

As Shiro opened the shop door, the talking pretty much stopped. There was 3 people here...or rather, there was 2 again. For a second, one could have seen someone with black armor and hair, but that went away pretty quickly, like it was never there. It...well, felt odd, weird, that kind of thing.

What Akkei did to suddenly vanish was conceal herself in an illusion, and teleport out, about at the same time. Back to waiting duty at last. A nap to look forward to before the inevitable interruption, quite possibly by that kid and whoever he brought (hopefully he brought someone).

The female shopkeeper greeted the new customer (with the amount of credits he had, he could probably grab a few inexpensive things):

"Welcome~"

She knew his hand was on a knife. But if she explained that if he for some unknown reason threw it directly at her she would be able to catch it and make him an unrecognizable paste on the ground in a matter of seconds, it might scare him.

So did (and so could) the guy, but he remained silent. It was easier, he was getting paid. Balances off the stuff he had to do that wasn't shop related.

----------------------------

Everyone Else's Point of View*

Shouki would have went with, but she was going to go with the group of people who's probable leader saved her life from a giant embodiment of darkness eyeball thing earlier. If it wasn't for her own ability

"I would go with you, but I'm waiting for someone else. I agreed to go with him. Searching for the key would probably be the best bet. Good luck with your quest."

Her third eye blinked. What it was thinking, if it had an independent mind, all a mystery.

...It seems Shiro ran off. Ho hum. Go get him, or let him get into bad situations and die?

The choice is yours.**

*(When one becomes too far away to no longer be a single unit, multiple sections result, dood.)
**(Who's writing this thing anyway, dood?)

[Schala]

Schala was disappointed when she heard Shouki wasn't going to lead them. After all, she seemed to know the place better than Schala did.
"Any ideas?" she asked. "Yuugen? Shiro--"
Shiro had run off!
Schala raced to him. "Shiro! What are you doing? We need to find the key!"
She hadn't forseen anything-yet-but Schala knew it was unwise to wander off.
"Shiro, get back over here! We can't have you getting hurt!"

[Augen]

"Hmm? Well, if they don't sell the key, then I guess there's only one other room we could look in," Yuugen said, pointing torwards the mess hall. She paused for a moment... And then her stomache started to growl. Which sounded a lot different from a human's stomache growling. "... Speaking of which, I'm kinda hungry... Do they have anything to eat," she said, walking torwards the mess-hall and looking inside.

[Five-minute Cat Nap]

Letting go of the knife, Shiro turned towards Schala. "But they have candy for sale! Sugar and Sweets! Caramel and Chocolate! Nuts and Nouget!" Shiro exclaimed, his face turning and his eyes wide. As his mouth began to moisten, Shiro swallowed the spit, before turning his attention back to the other two. Hearing Yuugen's stomach before recalling Schala's query, Shiro decided to comment.

"Woahhhhh! That sounded really wierd!" Shiro stated, looking at Yuugen. "Getting food from the mess hall? Ahh... but I guess a candy chaser is fine!" Shiro finished off speaking with.. towards... Yuugen. "Finding the key? We jus' gotta get all those demons in the mess hall angry enough to brawl it out! Then once they're all unconscious or weak from the fight, we go in to check 'em!" Shiro spoke towards Schala.
