[Vin is the first one to react, jumping a little in surprise at their sudden surroundings. That surprise turns into an angry frown as she looks down at the ridiculously impractical robes she found herself in. Wordlessly, she searches through the fabric, at least a little relieved to find her daggers are there, along with a couple of spare vials of metals on top of what she had.]

[Turning around, she faces the other five people, none of whom she recognizes.]

Alright, what's going on now?

[falseswordsgirl]

Yue took account of her own garments for a moment, and plainly answered the question at hand, "We appear to have been teleported to a forest and dressed in garb befitting the time period." Yue took account to find her knife, wand, broom, and card were all on hand. If she desired clothes a bit more her comfort zone she could summon her artifact. However, Yue didn't care about what she was wearing, just that she was dressed. She also did not want to guess why that would be a concern for her amnesia riddled brain

Terra looked surprised, looking around wide-eyed as his surroundings. First he was randomly transported to a city and now a forest. This time, however, it seemed his clothing has changed as well. The robes he was wearing were a black and tan color scheme and he had a breast plate over his chest. The thing that bothered him the most was that the armor he wore on his left arm had changed as well and now looked like a samurai arm piece more than anything.

He was curious as to what the full armor must look like now but decided not to test it just yet. Instead he looked around at the others, glad to see Sora but otherwise unfamiliar with the faces around him. "A mission. So has something like this occurred before for people in Chicago?" Terra directed his question at the small girl who seemed to know a bit about what was going on. He crossed his arms, "Do we know what the mission is or are we supposed to guess?" If there was a mission then the only thing to do was to complete it as soon as possible right?

Vin turned away during Yue's explanation of what had happened. The words "Japan" and "China" meant nothing to her but the part about being sent on a mission was what got her attention. So it looked like things in this "Chicago" place weren't so free after all. She glanced over at the two who had spoken so far, studying her newfound teammates carefully. The big one was obviously a warrior if that armor were any indication and the small girl had the look of a scholar but none of the others looked like a fighter (then again, neither did Vin at first glance

[The bell tolls again, and it is coming from a temple not too far into the woods. Perhaps someone there can tell you what it is you seek.]

[doomedtheworld]

[Vin glances up, tin letting her hear the bell as if it were just nearby and she glances over at her group.]

Sounds like something's going on over there. We should start there.

[eroded_earth]

[Terra turns toward the bells as well]

It can't hurt. There might be more clues as to where to find those treasures.

[He doesn't summon his keyblade just yet, but his hand tenses in anticipation of it]

*Yue nodded.*

*She briefly considered flying to scout the area. However she wasn't sure if separating from the others was a good idea.*

[Group Two: Rosette, Allen, and Sora]

[secondcity_npc]

[Some distance away, just outside the forest, a group of women approach. Perhaps they can tell you what it is you seek.]

[key_ofthe_sky]

[Sora is wandering around with his group, trying to figure out what to do when he sees the women approaching]

Why don't we see if they [He gestures towards them] know what's going on?

/stumbles in ;;;

[fightanddefend]

[Rosette's trying to get used to the clothing change - if worst comes to worst, these robes are going to be tough to run in - when she hears Sora's question, gaze following the direction of his gesture]

Good idea. You guys stay here. [Without waiting for an answer, she heads towards the group of women. Girl talk, you know. Getting there, she taps one of them on the shoulder]

Hey, do you know what's going on today?

[It's a general question, true, but here's hoping it leads to something more]

[crossgrave]

[Allen quietly presses his hand to his face. He schools his brief flare of annoyance into a polite smile and lets his hand fall back to his side. He looked to Sora.] We might want to be ready to run if this turns bad.

[He was pretty sure approaching strangers would always end badly.]
