The girl stood still as she looked around. Thinking. Just where was she? It definitely wasn't her room. First a bright light, then her body was changed from a guy to a girl. Just confusing and more than a little weird. It was best not to think about it for now... Wait. How was she supposed to introduce herself now? She couldn't just go up and use her old name, that would be weird. She didn't know anyone here... Maybe she could try to pass it off? No.. That wouldn't work at all. She sighed. Okay, just look around and try to get your bearings. It was the middle of the day, there were a set of stairs nearby that probably lead somewhere. Opposite of that was a path between the buildings that turned into an L-Shape some 30 yards away. This all felt familiar but at the same time she was sure that she hadn't been here before. |

Jasmine flexed her fingers as the last Heartless faded away. Fighting straight on was a major weakness for her and in this vast and different worlds, rely completely on her stealth would not work. Radiant Garden had some weak Heartless and the security system that was set up helped even the odds when she was out numbered. Still a real thinking opponent will be vastly different than the animalistic Heartless. For now though Jazz considered it a good start. With that taken care of Jazz started walking, looking for someplace to grab a bite to eat. That is when she spotted a girl just standing in the middle of the street by herself. Jazz was experienced in watching people from all her missions and training, she could tell right away that she was lost. Normally Jazz would ignore her but she knew that Kara and Naito would help this girl, so she would do it for them. "Are you alright?" Jasmine asked, potentially scaring her, as the Shadow Burst made no sound as she walked up behind her. |

(The following takes place after "Water Dancers" in Birthday Writings. For the record, in the statement below, "pies" is pronounced "pee-ezz.") "Necesito veinte postes de diez pies cada uno, y one log three feet thick, per favore." Greg was at a woodworker, trying to figure out his equipment that he would need. Unfortunately, as per usual, he was having less than high success rates in talking to people. Sighing at the look given, he decided to draw it. Motioning to the Moogle before him, he motioned as politely as he could for a pencil and paper. Drawing twenty poles on the paper in a row, he made a motion with his hands for ten feet, then wrote down the picture of a much thicker one, making motions for three feet in thickness. As the Moogle grumbled at how hard this was, he heard a familiar voice. She was far away, but he could hear it faintly. Putting down more than the appropriate amount of munny in order to satisfy the woodworker, he jogged off toward the Borough, where he knew people tended to show up, if not right in the middle of the marketplace. "Hello?" he asked in his ever-shifting accent, coming through. He was in his normal clothing, his swords concentrically sheathed on his back, his Tian shield folded as an arm guard around just one arm, its purpose not fully noticeable. He saw the petite girl and his brother's girlfriend, and waved. "Jasmine! It is good to see you." With that, he looked to the newcomer. "Néng gào sù wǒ nǐ de míng zì má? I am Greg."

The girl jumped once as she heard the voice of a woman behind her. A quick turn brought her around to viewing a woman about an inch taller than her with... Are those tails? Was this cosplay? Ugh, didn't matter someone else was coming cl-... Okay, that's a different language. What was it? Did they say their name was Greg? Too many things going on. "Uhhhhh..." Perfect. A great start in this place. "Where am I? It looks ki-" She covered her mouth at the realization and couldn't even begin to understand what was happening to her body, let alone what the hell was going on outside her body. "Oh god my voice is higher pitched too!" Edited by Millie Sentinal, Jun 16 2016, 09:59 AM.

"Hello Greg. It's good to see you too." Jasmine said as she gave him a small smile. She liked Greg even if he started speaking in languages that Jazz had never heard before. It made talking to him difficult sometimes but it didn't seem like it was something that he could control so she didn't hold it against him. Still the issue was the girl who started to seem like she was panicking a bit. The fact that she said that her voice was high pitched too instantly made Jazz concerned. Something potentially changed this girl and the thought of that brought up memories for the Shadow Burst. "Hey it's alright." Jazz said as she put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm Jasmine and we're here to help. Now take a deep breath and tell us what's wrong." |

It was good to know, from the sound of her, that Jasmine was doing well. He would have to ask about his brother soon, but that could wait. Greg just walked closer, trying to give a reassuring smile to the newcomer. From the sounds of things, she was going through some significant bodily changes, whatever the case was. "Miss, please stay calm. We're here to help." |

The girl took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Though the fact that these two got closer didn't particularly help in those matters.Still another deep breath and she was able to push down her anxiety. "I don't know if you will believe me or not, but, I'm a guy... At least, I was..." She was confused by everything around her still. Just what could be going on, and why was it going on? "Could you maybe...Tell me where I am...? It kinda looks familiar..." |

Well that was a bit more than Jazz had expected. From what she had learned people being changed due to the Convergence wasn't too uncommon but this was the first time she had heard about someone out right having their gender changed. Still she empathized with her as Jazz understood very well how scary it could be when your body is changed so drastically without your control. Thankfully it didn't seem as painful as Jazz's own change. "You are in Radiant Garden. I don't know where you are from but it is very likely you are in a completely different world now." Jazz said. It would be best to just let her know right away about her situation. "The Radiant Garden Restoration Committee headquarters is nearby. We can lead you there and they might be able to help you." |

Greg frowned somewhat at the scared comments from the teenaged girl. Or...well, he wasn't about to prescribe gender to someone who had their change. He knew personally what it was like to have that happen. ... Don't ask. Letting the comments sink in, he decided to be gentle about how he spoke. For sake of clarity, he decided to use "they" as his go-to genderless pronoun for the newcomer. He knew that this was likely to be a shock. Considering their reactions, they appeared to be External. He decided to ask both of his questions, one at a time. First he went on to the subject at hand. "I know that this may be a shock to you, usted, pero please understand. This is not fake. This is real. I am very sorry for what happened to you, but we need to get you to the Committee in order to sort things out as much as possible." Then on to a touchier, but just as relevant question. "For sake of clarity... do you prefer to be referred to by feminine or masculine pronouns? I can use either." |

"Radiant... Gar- Kingdom Hearts?" She let that sink in as Greg explained that this wasn't fake at all. A small sigh, closing her eyes so that she wouldn't let any of her emotions show at this moment. The confusion in her eyes was not something she wanted to share. So, she was in a video game... Was this some shitty fanfic? It had to- No, she was real, she was sure of that much, even if her gender did change... Which brought her around to the topic that the man brought up... What pronouns would she use from now on? She opened her eyes again... Yep, still standing in the middle of Radiant Garden, that wouldn't work after all. She had tried it multiple times now. Another sigh as she made a decision. "I guess... I'll use the feminine pronouns, easier for everyone that way." Now... She just had to come up with a name to share... Might as well share her old name... "Well, since you shared your names with me, I guess, out of politeness, I should share mine... Or at least my original name.I'm William." |

It was good to see that she was calming down a bit now though Jazz was still worried for her. After all something like having such a drastic change to your body was not something you could brush off. Unfortunately there was little that Jazz could do other than just offering William as much help as she can. "It's nice to meet you." Jazz said with a small smile. She wanted William to be as comfortable and calm as she can be. After all panicking never did anyone any good. "Now like I had said earlier we are near the Radiant Garden Restoration Committee headquarters. Since it seems like you are from the Realm of Reality then they should be able to help answer any questions you might have." "if you want we can lead you there. There is a good chance that Heartless might attack." |

Greg nodded to the suggestion she made about pronouns. Much easier for many, yes. Though still using the name William would be awkward, he did not push that at the moment. Instead, he looked to Jasmine, then back again. "She's right. They could show up any time, and this is a key location for it. Although the defense systems are probably still active, we will want to make sure you can be safe." The angel put a hand to his viking sword, just in case, but did not draw it nor the smaller blade within it. He knew better than to strike first or be too ready for a strike. It would just scare her. So, in order to keep them safe as he could, he took up the front of the group, starting walking. William could ask anything she wanted, but he would not press any issue at present. |

"Of course the Heartless are real..." William groaned as Greg took the lead... And to her knowledge, she had no way to defend herself. She looked at Jazz. "Realm of... I'll just wait to ask further questions... Not the best to do so here in the open... I think?" William knew where she was headed, but this place looked much bigger than in the game... So she was still staring a little in disbelief. Then she looked down at her clothes... Kinda... Baggy now, weren't they? Oh well, William could probably buy new clothes soon. "I need a new name... I think..." |

Jasmine walked after Greg, making sure to keep William in sight just in case. Until she was able to defend herself it was best to not let her out of sight for a moment. A protection detail wasn't something that jazz really ever had to do before but it was certainly nice considering all her past work. "If you want to have a new one you should go a head. It would help to avoid questions." Jazz said as she picked up William's comment. Jazz herself never changed her own name after her changes but there was no one that had ever really asked for her name until she met Naito. William however would be able to dodge questions and people would assume she was always female if she had a more feminine name. |

Greg nodded to the assessment made by Jasmine. "If you wish to choose un nuovo nome, it is best you think on it." The angel gave a reassuring smile, however. He did not want her to feel unwelcome, and this kind of transfer could be disturbing for some. Most, really. Nonetheless, he was prepared if a Heartless attack were to occur. Not that he wished for it, but he knew better than to assume that they were safe. In fact, it seemed that at least low-level Heartless were highly likely to attack a newcomer. As a precaution, he looked over at William. "Please do not be alarmed, but I am going to provide you with a small protective measure." Muttering under his breath, he waved an arm toward her, a sphere of heavenly blue energy forming around her. He had modified his usual Guard spell in the way he typically did, allowing for attacks to shoot out of it, but not inward. This was different from his more generalized version, which served as a kind of temporary restriction on movement altogether. As he gave the spell, he allowed a halo of golden light to appear above his head. The halo disappeared after he was finished casting. "That spell will protect you from outside attackers. It will not last very long, but should last for several minutes, enough time in case we run into trouble." He didn't bother to mention he was an angel. If she wished to know more, she could ask, but he knew that it was best to get off the streets. |

She glanced around her... idly going to try and poke the little shimmering light. Her hand passed through it rather easily. Well, that was good and all that. So this was a guard type spell or something? It seemed that it was cast at just the right time as a small warping noise rang through the area. Several Shadows and Soldiers. William gulped as she watched them. One thing Heartless liked was new prey, even more so one that couldn't defend herself. Her eyes darted between each of the Heartless before her, their janky movements causing her to loose track of where she was looking at times. Did... She have anything to fight with? |

Great, Heartless. Jasmine was hoping that they could get to the headquarters without running into any Heartless but that did not seem to be possible now. Her hands started glowing with energy as she got ready to fight. Her claws normally are best used to assassinate, thankfully since she knows Metal Claws it would make cutting through the Heartless much easier. Of course there still is a major issue. Jazz glanced back at William. While Greg did set up something to protect her, Jazz did not want to fully trust it with her safety. "What is the plan Greg? Do we fight or run?" Jazz asked as she looked between the Heartless and her allies. |

Greg did not even sigh. He expected this kind of situation, after all. Still holding Bifröst, he did not draw it as a burst of electrical energy sent a Shadow into the air briefly before it collapsed, getting its composure back. The defense system was online. "The door is going to be locked until we clear out the area. Even if we could hypothetically get in, they aren't going to open it." Raising his free hand, he fired a bolt of white-blue light, which struck a Soldier mid-leap, sending it sprawling back over a Shadow as it descended into the ground to scamper over to them. With only the briefest of consideration, he unlatched the mechanism inside of his blade, unsheathing Tendou, the hachiwara blade within. He needed speed, not power. As if in reference to this, he slashed hard at a Shadow as it came close, three strikes quickly dispensing with it in a burst of smoke. By then, another Soldier had come, leaping at him. Wings of energy erupted from his back silently as he took to the sky in turn, grabbing the creature out of the air with his momentum, to its surprise, and slicing straight into its neck with the blade before letting go and hovering in the air above momentarily. Offhand, he wondered what kind of technique Jasmine would use. He was primarily using a defensive fighting style, as was hid idiom, but perhaps, given her life, she would use faster, more direct fighting? Or perhaps she would use similar tactics. It was hard to tell. |

William tried her best to try and stay away from the Heartless, though that was pretty hard to do when they had basically surrounded the trio of... Well, William wasn't a fighter, but the others were. She would jump out of the way of lunging shadow that had come in from the side. Adrenaline pumped through her veins as a Soldier spun its way through the air in a flying kick that glanced off her, most notably the shield that Greg had summoned up around her deflected the blow. She spun in place and tried to kick the rather close Heartless in the back of the head, her attack phasing right through it. The soldier still stumbled a bit, but otherwise wasn't phased by her attempt to harm it. She silently cursed and began backpedaling away from her adversary. |

Greg was right in that Jazz would fight much quicker than him but it wasn't exactly direct. Even after all the time she has had to teach herself to fight directly all of her previous training was very visible in how she fought. Her style was focused on hit and run style tactics. She would strike at a Soldier and when it went to strike back she was already gone, having moved on to slash her claws through a Shadow. It likely isn't the most efficient style but for someone like Jazz it was a good starting point. Still when William was in danger, Jazz immediately focused in on the Heartless that was threatening her. Thanks to using Metal Claws, Jazz was able to cut through the Soldier with a couple of slashes. "Are you alright?" Jazz asked. |

Greg continued his assault against the Heartless. He favored a defensive, reactionary strategy himself, and as such was keeping the Shadows and Soldiers at bay with minimal effort. The group was not too difficult, as there were not many of them. A starter's group, but given they had a starter with them, that was not much of a benefit. It seemed that Jasmine's style befitted an assassin. Fast, from points of weakness rather than head on. He would have to take that into account moving forward, but he knew better than to look too far ahead in the midst of combat. Seeing another wave of the energy platforms come up to hold back the Heartless, he moved over to the two, keeping ready as they came close again. He knew that the Pureblood Heartless such as this group were not sapient, and so he would not give away too much if he spoke about his plan of attack. "If we want to disperse this group quickly, I think we need to use different tactics. Jasmine, please see if you can get around them, to attack from the back. I can keep attention toward me and stay here with William while you give sneak attacks." As if in reference, he sent out another of his blasts of light, this time destroying a coming Shadow as another dodged by sinking into the ground to slither over. Seeing it pop up behind William, he engaged a mechanism in the armband he was wearing, letting it unfold into the form of his shield, complete with the face of his "parent" Martel herself. Blocking the strike as it came in, he bisected the injured creature in the next strike before going back in front again, at the ready. If he was in luck, his displays of holy magic would draw far more attention than Jasmine's own dark-based ones. |

William was practically useless, but she knew she couldn't fight these things, her only chance to survive at this moment was Greg and Jasmine. Still the surprise when Greg cut a Heartless in two behind her was good enough to make her begin pivoting her head once more to make sure no more could try a sneak attack. "Thanks... That... Would have been bad..." She gulped... Then realized that pretty much all the Heartless were gone except a few stragglers. Best to forever be on guard though. Never know if some thing bad could happen if your guard is down. |

With just a few Heartless left Jazz didn't feel the need to close the distance. Better to stay close to William just in case and finish the Heartless off from a distance. With a soft mutter that William probably wouldn't be able to hear, a black orb appeared in her hands and she shoot the orb of shadows out at the Heartless. Black Disruption wasn't her most used spell but it was a solid one as it was her main ranged attack. After a few blasts she turned to look at William as the remaining Heartless were something that Greg could finish off. She looked her over for any injuries and Jazz was glad to not find any. |

Greg did indeed not have any real trouble with the remaining Heartless. Using their own momentum with their jumps, dives into the ground, charges, et cetera, he quickly dealt with all of the remaining members of this group. As the last one dispersed in a bursts of shadow, he looked over at William and Jasmine. Making sure everything had been taken care of, he folded his shield back into a gauntlet formation, and put his smaller sword yet again within his larger one. "William, are you alright? That should be all of them for the time being." |

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." William said as she watched the remaining Heartless be destroyed by the powerful fighters. It was amazing really, how fast they were defeated. She sighed in relief. "Thank you." With the Heartless defeated she could only see one destination from here. Merlin's house. "So... We're headed here?" She asked as she offhandedly waved to the house in question... It was safe after all. |
