Open July Log

Who: Saix & anyone
Status: Open
Where: Various locations
What: MANTA board quests & general starters
Warnings: None


a) a phantom thief

[Naturally, the idea of hearts being stolen piqued Saix's attention. The reports sound a bit different than what he would have expected, though - and so he heads directly to the most recent location where the thief struck.

He can be found kneeling down next to the body, inspecting it. Breathing, living, but unresponsive. Not what he would expect to see from someone who had their heart stolen - and he should know. He sees no sign of anything that would lead him to believe this has any similarity to what he's familiar with.

So, what is going on, then?]


No Heartless, either. Curious.

b) miss praying mantis

[If he's going to remain here, Saix may as well make himself useful. He does have skills, after all, and the easiest one to put to use is also the most obvious one. He's got a claymore and he's ready to use it. While he wasn't generally out doing fieldwork back home, he did his share of fighting.

And a good workout involving some unrestrained violence might serve to clear his thoughts a little. Not that he's having feelings about any of this - obviously that's impossible. But he is having a lot of thoughts, some contradictory, many involving what he would be feeling if he were capable of it. He's rather tired of it.

So, time to hunt down a giant insect. But Saix isn't stupid, and he is new here, so when he sees someone in the same general area he approaches them before attempting to find the creature alone.]


I assume you are here for the same reason as I.

c) the wy's have it

[Saix doesn't know much about wyverns, but his working theory is that they're being pushed out of their usual area by either a larger predator, or a lack of their usual sources of sustenance. While he may not be able to fix either problem, he may at least be able to figure out which it is - and if not that, take down a few wyverns to keep them from causing chaos.

He is trying to keep himself busy, really. It helps if he can do so in a useful way.

But he's quite aware that he doesn't know the area, doesn't know the creatures, and doesn't really know the world. So he can be found moving cautiously through the foothills of the mountains, claymore in hand, alert to any sounds or movements.]


d) wildcard

[If there's anything else you're interested in doing with Saix, I'm happy to roll with it! We can plot ahead, or feel free to drop a starter and we can see where it goes.]

[ If it's any consolation, some of them aren't sure where to stand with Saix either. As far as Riku is concerned, so long as he isn't trying to fight them or pull one over on them, he's willing to give Saix a chance. His state of Saix versus Isa isn't that big of a deal if the Nobody is willing to work with them.

Riku crouches down to examine the body more closely, knowing he's putting himself in a vulnerable state. ]


Maybe it's beyond the worlds we know and that's why the Heartless haven't reach it yet. Perhaps there's someone here with the ability to remove hearts in a different way. I've heard this world's alchemy has done all sorts of things to living beings.

Yeah. I'd just learned about worlds beyond our own before coming here. It was described to me as a place on the other side of our existence.

[ He'll hold back on any other bits of information for now on that subject matter, wanting to gauge how Saix will take it first. Even if Isa has joined their group, there's still a lot he doesn't know about him. ]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was. When I first got here, there was a girl who had been experimented on with alchemy that merged her body with that of a dog.

[ It's not as though they're unfamiliar with experiments done on the heart either. ]
