(Also, can I make another character? I had an idea.)

I.. I think we have enough characters now. I'm already having a difficult time trying to keep track of them all.

When comes to major characters, I agree. However, we do need some more minor characters to be apart of the environments for just a little bit. Also, I might actually add more to my most recent post, but I'm still waiting on other people.

"..I believe I could use some recuperation time." she said still trembling slightly at what she just did, "And we should see how Sir Buddy is faring. He may have wondered where we have gone to."

"Ok then. Let's go see what Buddy has gotten into now." replied Zeion. He pulled out the crystal and opened another gate. "After you."

[I say go ahead and make another one though don't go overboard or anything. I do agree with Odds in that the some of the groups are hard to keep track of though if you can keep things clear I say go ahead and make another one though don't go overboard or anything.]

"It's a bit of a shame we have to wait to do the next stage, but ah well. Come now, he should be around the taverns by now. Knowing him, he's already done what I'm dreading."

Rend sat in the middle of Forwart, confused and unaware of how he had gotten there, terrified by the carnage around him. Bodies lay strewn about the streets, dismembered, visceral horrors against the contrast of the bright, futuristic city. Buildings around him lay in Ruins, though the reason for this was unknown to him.

Rend's lack of memory put him on edge. Had he done this? Was the blood of each of these people on his hands? He was unsure, but in the case that the terrible fate of those around him had been enacted by his own hand, he made a silent vow to himself to, at the very least, honor those he had killed with a proper burial.

He walked through the streets of Forwart in the apparent direction of the havoc, picking up body after mutilated body and slinging them over his shoulder with only honorable intent.

Not Really.

So I intended this to be a Spoony-in-the-funny-picture-thread-esque joke, but after re-reading this, I really like it... If Khaaan's story is really just going to disappear, maybe I'll stick with this. Maybe.

(IMPORTANT NEWS again:Alright, maybe I'll go ahead and continue to participate, but ONLY if it picks up speed, allowing me to finish my part quickly.)

Ray got up from his seat as quietly as possible and smiled at the man he had met only a few hours ago, who was now passed out on the bar countertop.

"Whoa, Ray, you're not just gonna leave this guy here, are ya?" the bartender asked with a tone bordering on annoyance.

"No sir, I'm just stepping out for a minute. I'm amazed at how little alcohol it took to down this one." Ray replied with a chuckle. "I doubt he'll wake up anytime soon, but on the offchance he does, just keep him here I get back. Won't be a few minutes."

"...better not be."

"Thanks, Jack." Ray smiled and turned to the door, which was suddenly blown open with such force that the doorknob was crushed against the wall at the end of it's swing. Into the tavern stepped Roil, looking surly as usual. With a wave of his hand, the door slammed back shut, almost closing before falling completely off it's hinges. Every eye in the tavern was fixed on Roil, save for those of Freed, who still sat, unconscious, on his barstool.

Jack, the Bartender, stood wide-eyed across the bar counter. His face turned bright red as the mug in his hand shattered, spilling it's contents all over the floor. He opened his mouth, clearly about to scream, when he was interrupted by Ray.

"JACK! Jack... This one's with me. Don't worry, I'll fix your door. I promise. And you know I always make good on my promises. Absolutely no cheddar out of your pocket. I'll even buy you a mug to replace the shrapnel all over your floor. I promise you, Jack. Give me an hour and I'll have it done."

"You had daisies well better, Ray. I SWEAR TO THE GODS, I'm gonna LOSE IT the next time one of your friends trashes my establishment. First that little blonde girl breaks my TV and scares off half my customers with her little... HAND BUZZER gag, and now this..."

As if on cue, Ruin stepped over the wreckage of the door and into the bar.

"What the hell happened here?" she asked, then paused a moment before glancing at Roil. "...nevermind."

Jack stared at Ruin, the vein on his forehead looking as though it was about to burst, then simply walked into the back room of the bar.

"ONE HOUR, JACK! AND WATCH THIS GUY FOR ME THANK YOUUUU!" shouted Ray before turning back to Roil, who had only just acknowledged Ruin.

"Oh. It's you. I nearly missed you due to the fact that nothing around me is scorched." Roil said, teasing her.

Ruin jabbed back. "Hey, didn't you leave Windmon like... two hours ago? I mean, I knew you were slow, but really?"

Roil glared at her. "Brat."

"DON'T YOU CALL ME A BRAT, YOU FAIRY!!"

Ray began snapping his fingers in their direction before the two got out of hand and broke something else.

"AH AH ah ah ah. Both of you, outside."

They glared at each other once more before stepping outside, followed by Ray. Once outside of earshot of the bar patrons, Ray stopped and looked at Roil, then motioned at the door with a disappointed look.

"C'mon, man, really?"

Roil raised his eyebrows apathetically. "Whoops."

"I have to fix that! Jack lets me stay upstairs for free as long as I break up any fights that happen in the bar. If all the fights that happen are my fault, what do you think is gonna happen?"

Roil yawned in response, and Ray sighed.

"Well, you get to help me forge a new doorknob now."

"What?? B-..." Roil was interrupted as Ruin chimed in.

"Rage! Raaaaageyyy!"

The kind smile returned to the face of the man known to his comrades as Rage as he knelt down from his height of almost seven feet so he was eye level with Ruin. "What's up, girl?"

"Hey, has Raze showed up yet? He said he was gonna meet me here."

"I take it that means he found you both then! That's great! I'm afraid I haven't seen him, though. Maybe Reave knows where he is? I'm surprised she hasn't shown up yet."

A look of pain shot across Ruin's face and her gaze quickly became fixed on the ground.

"I need to talk to you, Ragey..." She glanced at Roil, then back at her feet. "Alone."

Rage caught the serious tone in her voice and stood to address Roil.

"Roil, go get me a chunk of decent metal for a doorknob and some hinges. You have twenty minutes. When you return, you'll cool off my metalwork when I'm finished."

Roil groaned and turned around as dramatically as possible, then walked into the streets of Mangaton. Once Roil was a sufficient distance away, Rage turned back to Ruin with a sympathetic smile.

"Hey, are you okay? What's going on?"

After a moment of silence and a few tears, Ruin proceeded to tell Rage of Reave's fate and the occurrances thereafter. She then presented the items she had found at the scene of the clash: Reave's teardrop pendant necklace and ruby ring. Rage took the ring from her and stood, turning it in his hands several times, feelings of sorrow rushing over him as he examined the small, round ruby held tightly in it's once silver clasp. The had been burned and blackened during the incident, but the ruby itself held onto it's color and shine.

"I gave this to her..." Rage though aloud. He knelt back down holding the ring out for Ruin to see. "See the flame marking on the gem? I made this ring."

Ruin burst into tears, now knowing how badly she had hurt Rage. Rage had always cared for her. Always watched out for her. And how does she repay his years of kindness? By killing his best friend. Rage was the only person she had ever seen make Reave truly pop flyin'. When he wasn't around, Reave was always so serious, but the moment Rage entered the picture, she would lighten up. Even smile. And now she was gone, and it was all Ruin's fault.

She fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face, and Rage quickly wrapped his arms around her.

"Ruin..." Rage whispered to her. "Ruin, you did great. Your investigation was wonderful. We discovered a fake key. That means we're one less fraud away from collecting all seven." He placed his hands on her shoulders and held her in front of him, then took her right hand and gingerly placed Reave's ring on her middle finger and held it up for her to see.

"I want you to have this, Ruin." Rage said with a teary smile. "And every time you look at it, I want you to think of Reave, okay? I know how much she meant to you. She meant everything to all of us. Even Roil. I know he'd never admit it, but I also he cared about her just as much as the rest of us." He hugged Ruin again and they both began to sob. "She cared about you, Ruin. She always wanted to protect you. And I know she knows this was an accident. I know she doesn't blame you. Just... remember her, okay?" Rage looked into Ruin's eyes, his ever-present smile still on his face. "Can you do that for me? ...for her?"

Ruin nodded, her eyes barely able to stay open through the tears, then fell back into Rage's arms. They sat in silence for a few moments before Rage stood, wiping his face.

"Come on, girl. I'll buy you dinner."

Ruin smiled a half-smile and placed her hand in Rage's and they walked back toward Jack's tavern.

CLEARLY THERE IS SADNESS IN MY HEART TODAY. Not really, I'm just posting sad things for some reason.

Anyway, now that all six Reapers have been introduced, I'm going to upload bios for those who are confused. Expect them soon, probably tonight.

Also, I'm not sure how clear I made it, but just in case... "Ray", from the beginning of Verom's character Freed's story, is the same person as Rage. He just uses the name "Ray" to avoid the suspicion that would come with having such a strange name as "Rage". He also has more "human-sounding" names he uses for the other five Reapers in public situations, but that's another post for another time.

Sweet, people are staying! On that note. Where the HELL did everyone go?

"...so you see, coconuts are the worlds greatest boon. Now, let's go get Buddy. He should be just inside this bar. Aaaaand he has a bag. Probably full of toys. DAMMIT. So, Buddy, how much of our gold did you spend?"

"Well, we had some. We don't any more."

"And how do you propose we eat or sleep? Not all of us are ragdolls, we need food you know."

"We're ex-circus preformers! We can get together SOMETHING."

"Dammit Buddy, y u do this?"

"Come on, let's entertain!"

"You suck by the way!"

But Buddy had already left the bar, to put on a show.

"Renna, are you okay by yourself while we make some gold? You do look a bit tired."

"I believe I will be fine, just need a little rest. Though I think you are a bit harsh on Sir Buddy, I mean some of the toys seem like fun." She reached down and grabbed one from the sack. She pulled the string from it's back ad it began laughing and burst into flames though it did not burn. "... Though I could be wrong. I shall go rest now but I will be here if you need me, for whatever reason."

"Hello again. Glad to see you're not busy."

"Is that a sick joke? You know damn well I'm not busy. Kinda stuck in this cell, if you've forgotten. Shove off. I have no interest in your games now."

"Now that's not very nice, is it? I came here to fix your current situation."

"...Alright. You got my attention."

"I knew it would. How would you like to get out of this dirty cell? Get to know the wonder of the outside again?"

"Do you have a point you want to get to?"

"You mage types are so impatient. But that's what I liked about you. You know what you want. Yes, I do have a point. I want to help you get out."

"And why would you want to do that?"

"Because it amuses me. Nothing more. I am going to take off those pesky little magic inhibitor bracelets, stylish as they may be. The rest, is up to you. Whether you escape, or end up with your head on a pike, not my problem."

"Hmm... And what do I have to do for you?"

"Ah, here we go, the part I want. It's simple really. IF you get out of here alive, you make me a body in that nice little dimension you have. I know it's there. I watch over that other little imp friend you have as well. I'm tired of being uneathreal. And your dimension is a perfect place for one like myself."

"Fine. If I escape, it shall be done. Now, the bracelets?"

[Two things, one, I did not mean to make the mage so penis shaped. How the hell did that even happen. Two, I got the message it was okay to make another character, so long as I did not go overboard. If I stepped on any toes here, I'll get rid of her.]
