The Thieves' Museum (Open) - :) Easy to join for new members

(Alright! Although the question is, if Shining's on at the moment...)

(Bye!)

Kazuya folded up the piece of paper and shoved it into his pocket, opening the door with his other hand. It lead out into a hallway, with numerous other doors, some of which were half-open. Had others appeared here, too? That was the most likely explanation. The blue-haired teenager whirled around at the sound of footsteps. There was someone else- they looked a lot like Kazuya, although their clothes and headphones were different. Then again, there weren't any headphones like his own cat-ear-like ones. "Excuse me, but who are you?" he asked, crossing his arms. This person didn't seem like a threat, but Kazuya wouldn't let his guard down just yet.

(Quick post before I head out)

"I'm Kazuya Minegishi. Did you recently arrive here as well?" Kazuya asked, deciding to get straight to the point. No sense in wasting more time than he needed to. He closed his eyes for a moment as a voice echoed in the back of his mind again, but it was still too faint to understand. That was worrying. If he couldn't contact the Bels, then he'd be at a disadvantage. Kazuya sighed and opened his eyes again. "And I doubt you know, but do you have any idea of where this 'Sable's Life' could be?"

Minato took a look to the left then the right, before looking back at Kazya. "I-I think I arrived recently...." He questioned his own answer. He wasn't even sure what this is, let alone how he got here or for what purpose. All he remembered was gently closing his eyes on the school roof top that faithful day.
everything after was nothing more then an illusion, an echo of the past false reality -
Sop too see someone interacting with him, was this still so much a dream.
He tilted his head now wondering if this sables life. another incarnation of Nyx... the thought crossed his mind. He shook his head after a brief moment, "n-no- I'm sorry..." He suddenly apologized . He felt bad in a sense but I another he was skeptical of this being a form of reality.

Lelouch nodded at the thought. "Right now it might be for the better that we avoid conflict. If we find others though, maybe that'll provide us use. "

Minato was clearly unsure, and he had no desire to hide it. I'm the most of his doubt, he was still clearly skeptical about all of this. He shifted his head giving Kazuya his attenrion. "Very Well..." He nodded in agreement.
He would pair up with this individual until this illusion became nothing, it was surprising to be interacting in this case.
Yet e could hear that voice from before telling him this was real, that these were souls whom were in trouble. He leaned a bit to his left looking past Kazya, "the way I came led to the least visited portion of this place. It's unused and perhaps not worth looking into." He Shared what he did kmow. But still, was this truly different ?

"Understood." Minato nodded, turning towards the given direction. His gaze looking towards the halls ahead. He followed silently after Kazuya, keeping close but still enough to keep a small gap. His attention was much less on his surroundings and more on Kazuya, this was just driving his skepticism through the roof.
And yet he remained in silence, hands in pockets, posture leaning back as he pressed on after Kazuya. For a brief moment the cape did draw his attention, just like that such an idea slid to the side.

Kazuya picked up a rubber ball as he passed its pedistal. Who would put a simple red ball on a pedistal? This museum raised more questions than answers. He tossed it from one hand to the other as they continued down the hall, but he suddenly slowed down to a halt as a glass wall appeared to their right. It looked like someone or something had broken a hole in it. The paper had mentioned this, but it was still an odd sight in person... "Someone must have been here before us," Kazuya guessed, absentmindedly tossing the ball between his hands as he spoke.

some BODY

"I guess s-" Quote began, but he paused at the sound of something moving. To be exact, it was the sound of an item being moved out of place. He whirled around, about to scold Kagura for breaking the rule about touching random items, but was left speechless as the painting vanished. No other effects beside some smoke. It just... vanished. "Wha- where did it go?"

Akira nodded in excitement, "With our combined efforts i'm certain about the goal at hand. And if it ends up being a trap-we can just fight our way out." He added with a pinch of salt. There was something about traps that he had grown mildly amused too.
He looked towards the main hall, once they lef the velvet room, this outfit/these chains would be gone until the next time he returned. Since his arrival here after the turn of events, it felt like any chance of hope was at a full loss. This was his opportunity to gain back the momentum of time.

((Waiting for Mint, too! ))
((Oh and Mint after finals next week, i'll give ya a quick description of the velvet room etc.))

Minato slowed his pace as they neared the glass wall which divided the hall up ahead. He couldn't help but raise a brow in confusion to the wall before him. What sort of intention is this? He silently approached the glass wall and placed a hand on it, the glass was exactly what it was, glass. He ran his hand against it until he reached the hole. Careful not to cut himself, he ran a cautious hand along the hole, No doubt about it- He turned his head towards Kazyua, "This was obviously done by force. The intentions very, but it wasn't done in a strategic manor-desperation perhaps." He observed, then backed away from the whole, returning his hands into the comforts of his pockets.

(Give me a sec. Catching up on what I missed.
And that would be awesome. I lost the picture you posted ages ago. (Which also reminds me, Embra needs to be poked again.))

"Well," said Sally rather pessimistically. "We're likely to run into danger no matter who is leading. But if you don't want to, that's up to you." She looked around again, eyes running up and down the piles. She turned a corner without looking where she was putting her feet and suddenly she felt like she was walking over gravel. She looked down, backing up again.
"My," she muttered. "This looks interesting. Something or someone has been this way before."
Spread out before them were small, shattered pieces of green jade. Near one pile lay a discard sword. Sally's eyes swept the area again, noticing the fallen and spent bullets, the gun, and the knife. Her Watch stills kicked in and she grinned a little. "Something attacked a group here," she pointed to a couple drops of blood near an old row of shelves. One shelve had been yanked open, as if someone had been looking for something. "Three people were here. Don't know how long ago, it's a bit hard to tell."

(Wanted to bring up the statues again, but really that was the group that ran into the most of them. Three, in fact. Jade tiger, Onyx dragon, and granite rooster. Got to do something with that plotline, so those three are as good as any.)

"Quite lucky, actually," said a new voice. Conan, who had been about to scold Zoro, turned instead. His mouth gaped as his view was impeded by a hologram. It looked kind of like a living shadow, only with really, really odd eyes. "Honestly couldn't resist jumping in," said Sable. "Especially since you were heading the wrong way." If you could call it pointing, that's what Sable did. The shadow pointed roughly in the direction of the right hallway between the items. "Give or take, that door appeared about five dozen feet that way." His voice held some amusement. "You wanted to find it again, didn't you?"

Newt was hoping the same thing. He repeated the summoning charm under his breath and waited, scanning just above the junk piles to see where they would come from. Once again, the blades came from the direction that both the book and the knife had.
Newt didn't try to catch them this time, he just dodged. The blades embedded themselves in the floor and Newt turned his attention back the way they had come. "Why are all the missing items coming from the same place?" he wondered. That was a thought... he was missing his case. What if it was where the weapons and the book had been? "I... I think I'll need to find wherever those came from," he said to the other two.

Shining and Hime:

"I'm more than ready to go," said Kid, nodding. He looked between Akira and Aizen, then turned and started walking back the way they had come. He wasn't sure about his traveling companions. Akira seemed okay, but Aizen still...felt wrong. It had been a long time, from his point of view, since they had first started working together and still he couldn't push the uneasy feeling away. Was it still all in his head? Just a second ago, when Akira had been in the cell, he had been sure of those feelings, but now he was back to square one again.
He looked back, hand on the door out of there. "I really hope it isn't a trap. I've had enough of running into those so far."

Kazuya raised an eyebrow, but quietly followed Minato. Those words seemed to imply that there was more to his companion than Kazuya thought. He kicked aside a few stray shards of glass as he walked through the hole. A gleam farther down the hall caught his eye. Was that... ice? He bounced the ball off the floor and caught it before heading to check the ice out.

At least, that was the intention.

"What the-" Kazuya had barely gotten the words out as the ball shot upwards and past his open hand. It began to bounce off the ceiling, floor, and walls at a speed that a rubber ball certainly shouldn't have. He stepped backwards to avoid a blow to the head. "What is this?!"

(Lesson One: don't touch stuff in the Museum)

Minato was waiting on the other side, but he let Kazuya take lead as before. In his usual silence he followed after, his eyes looking up ahead. I-Ice? He thought to himself, he leaned now forward from his usual back posture to get a better look. Once he assured himself it was ice, he returned to his free fall back posture.
The ball bouncing out of control caught his attention, he quickly stepped further back, his eyes following the ball rapidly, the expression in Kazuya's surprise caught Minato's full attention. Perhaps the situation was not as bad as it appeared, but that alone triggered the young man to react.
He also further back from Kazuya , careful not to get slammed by the ball's speed, he shifted his feet firmly on the ground, then pulled his hands out of his pocket. With his hands he shifted in position downwards as though he was holding a sword. (But he wasnt!)
He carefully watched the ball bounce repeatedly on the hall, it's speed is what made it a hazard. After a few repeats he clutched his hands as though grasping a weapon, then slid forward swinging his hands in a leftward motion.
"Universe Arcana!" He called out.
In the instance his invisible blade made contact with the ball, there was a dim outline of a sword in Minato's grasp.

The ball was cut in half, no longer retaining its round shape, the halves of the ball slid against the ground at a rapid speed leaving a trail of burn marks.

Minato let out a breath,leaning back then returned his hands back into his pockets. He looked over at Kazuya with his emotionless stare.

Seeing Kazuya calm in general brought relief to his expressionless face. His eye glimpsed towards the burn mark, then back at Kazuya. When confronted on the question, Minato blew the hair over his right eye towards the side, to see Kazuya directly with his two eyes for a brief moment.
In that instance his two eyes fully met Kazuya's, sorrow and regret were clearly in his gaze.

"I-I am human.." He calmly stated at first, but instantly trailed off. "I think I still qualify to be human?" He now doubted himself, he shifted his head towards the right thinking this question firmly. "At one point in my life-I harbored the embodiment of death" He paused shifting his head towards the left, "On the other end, I became the seal between the embodiment of death and the voices which carry grief and sorrow..."
His head returned directly to eye Kazuya, though he hid his right eye undernieth his hair, he could still see the other man before him clearly. In most instances he wouldn't bother sharing the complications of problems, but then again this story would sound like rubish childsplay. It did-reconsidering what he just said, he himself agreed that this would sound like a blasted fantasy if he told himself.
In silence he remained calm, bracing for the reaction Kazuya would give him, he would roll with the answer.
