The Soul Labyrinth

(Okie Doki)

The figure observed the hall. “Excuse me miss, but do you know where Desmond went?” He asked Hinata before stuttering “Uh…sorry, you probably don’t know him…” he murmured to himself but loud enough for her to hear.

"To be honest, I've probably met him, I should probably know who he is, but right now, I'm just enjoying my Apathy and smoking some hella good cigars." Hinata let out a puff of smoke, which twisted its way towards the figure. It danced around him, almost forming the shape of a human, the dissipated.

loki snickered at Cassius's anger out of habit of loving other's anger

The jacketed figured did not want to interrupt Hinata, so he went up to the second floor of the hall. He saw the crescent moon symbol and the music sheet on the floor. He knelt down and examined them. So he really is back… he thought to himself as he walked around the second floor.

Hinata let puffed again.
"I should go see the others." She stayed seated.

Tolkalee walked into the Central hall with Cassius and Loki, spotting Hinata and Adara almost instantly. "Hey," he called to Hinata.

"Hey." It seemed as if she really wouldn't have to get up. This was good, since she wasn't sure how she would get up. She smiled.

Cassius looked up to the second floor to spot a figure. He tapped on Tolkalee and pointed to the figure. “Should we…?” He whispered to Tolkalee.

Hinata slowly dragged herself up. Her Apathy was wearing off, and she was starting to regain some emotions.

Tolkalee looked at Hinata. "Do you know who that is?" he asked jerking a thumb at the figure up the stairs.

"Nope." Hinata brushed herself off. She exhaled, and a puff of smoke wound around Tolkalee like it did the newcomer. It too soon dissipated.

Tolkalee chose to ignore the smoke and looked at Cassius. "I think we should go see who this is," he said walking towards the stairs. "Excuse me sir, would you mind telling us who you are?" he called to the figure.

The figure jumped at Tolkalee’s call and immediately used his ability. His hand had a green aura around it which resembled a sword. He turned to slice Tolkalee out of fear.

Hinata snapped out of her stupor.
"WTF?"

Tolkalee didn't flinch except to bring his sword up and stop the weapon near his throat. "Geez, jumpy much?" he said looking past the swords at the figure.

Hinata turned to the figure.
"Well, that was rude."

The jacketed figure noticed Cassius behind Tolkalee. The aura made blade disappeared. “Friend of yours, Cas?” The figure asked as Cassius nodded and shrugged. The figure bowed down. “I apologize for my actions”

"Don't apologize. I usually react the same when someone comes up behind me," Tolkalee explained letting his sword down. "Plus all my friends react like that. What's your name?"

Hinata rolled her eyes. This place had some strange inhabitants.

The figure hesitated to tell Tolkalee his name. Cassius noticed this. “His name is Arthur Halton, he’s usually nervous to tell people his name ‘cause he always says that he doesn’t meet up to people’s expectations when they hear the name” Cassius told Tolkalee.

"Fair enough," Tolkalee said. "I'm Tolkalee."

Cassius smiled a little when he saw Arthur shook as Tolkalee introduced himself. “Another thing you might want to know about him is his ability. His ability is Excalibur, it basically explains itself” Cassius said to Tolk.

"Name's Hinata Hayashi. I know how it feels." Hinata shrugged.

Cassius realized something. “By the way, why are you here?” He asked Arthur. Arthur turned to Cassius, “I was looking for Desmond…”

"Oh, well he just left. We were all headed over to Matthew's home to plan out our next move," he explained. "You're welcome to come with us."

Arthur shook his head. “I was just making sure he was safe…I was usually the one who took him around places but we got separated along the way…if he’s got company then that’ll be just fine…” he said to them before slowly walking back downstairs.

loki walked up beside Tolkalee seemingly confused "Who? Sorry to interrupt if i did"

Hinata shrugged.
"I honestly need a nap."

"Oh i think i have one" Loki pulled out her bag and pulled out a map "Here"
