A Momkey walks over to PK with his arms crossed. Yo, wassup my 🅱ru- The Momkey suddenly trips on a small pebble and splits his fucking head open.

*And someone was drawn in by the light Mara not very far away was out doing some scrounging and caught a glance of the light so she wandered to the general area when she arrived she focused her attention on the portal being opened* "Well this feels like... a similar scenario to something I encountered before..." *Then she focuses her attention on PK and is quickly taken back by surprise* "Wait a second....PK? Is tha- that you what is happening?"

Hello there offic- oh no! Are you okay? As the officer splits his head, PK channels magic through him as a green light envelops the wound, trying to heal it back I won't let anybody die on my watch! You should be more careful! However, as he's healing he hears a familiar voice, turning around to see Mara, his eyes open and rush over, tackling them in a hug Dad! Where have you been! I've missed you! We have so much to catch up on! I have this crazy new power and this laser sword I built and oh! I met a ton of new people and everything is crazy!

A seemingly normal man approaches, drawn by the light if you could believe it. His large shirt billows in the night wind, not that it really matters, as he makes his way toward PK. "Say... you seem to know what's going on here... right? Is this portal a good or a bad thing?" Of course, this was simply Eiji's assumption. Any real guess as to who had the better knowledge wasn't his to make. He didn't really see the unconscious lump, but he could hear PK's words. "Die..? Who are you..." It was at that moment that Eiji saw the mass of whatever Momkey is. Luckily he only saw the mended state. "Th-That magic... will it help them?"

After getting healed, the Momkey doesn't even get up.... It turns out that he is mega schleep. zzzzzzz....

*Mara starts to blush and squirm in PK's grasp she's not even use to a simple hug which makes her so unfomcortable but she's gets up brushes off and looks away still blushing and slightly shivering* "PK huh it's really you? Dammit you Syrup Brain clunkhead how long has it be! How dare you leave me all by myself and go off doing all kinds of adventure, don't think I hav't heard your deeds and adventures! Heh...could have at least brought me along." *She chuckles but still looks away in embarrassments PK a great friend from childhood and from the news is finally here and they are having this face paced reuniting........and he's still blabbing.....just like PK*

Senri enters the area, drawn in by the odd lights. She enters during an awkward time; smirking as she witnesses PK hug Mara, misunderstandings brewing in her mind. She decided to pay no mind to the momkey in the police uniform, as police had it in for her anyway. Oi, PK! having a romantic moment there? I'll go away if you wish. She teased, more interested in what he was conjuring up as she stares at the ray of light.

[What a crazy party that was! The people of this world sure know how to have fun lemme tell ya. Kagura was having the time of his life with a bottle of whiskey by his hand. The lighs were bright and he seemed to get to a new disco of sorts.] Might as well just go, night's too young for me to waste it in a single place. [Without thinking much about it, Kagura walks towards the portal. With a hic and a laugh, he fell into it.]

PK then turns to Eiji, a new face to him, but he seems friendly enough![ Greeting them with a small bow/i] Ah! Hello there! Pancake Knight at your service! This person was just hurt! I simply walked over and healed them with Waffles! They should be okay now! As for the portal it's nothing dangerous! Its a rift to Pancake Land! My hometown! Would you care to join me? It's a beautiful place! High walls with people who just want to be of help! I can promise a feast at the castle! It'll be fun! Trust me! [i]PK then turns back to Mara and nods along, eventually shouting out to interrupt It's been a long time! I can't remember how long to be honest! Normally I would have brought you along! But I was separated from you! I'm sorry about that! I can tell you all about my noble deed when we enter the castle! PK then notices Senri and waves to them, shouting back at them Yep! Its a little romantic! But it's fine! I would prefer you join us on a trip! How does a night at a castle sound! -- As Kagura walks through the portal, he is met with a large set of walls and a ruined wooden drawbridge, the walls are covered in moss and large chunks are smashed out of it, you can barely call it a wall. As for the draw bridge its all rotten and rusted, unable to be raised as further beyond the bridge lies a town square with multiple houses made of what seems to be a thin material, easy to bust through. Multiple paths seem to lead from the square. 3 to be exact, excluding the one that leads there. To the north is the "great" castle. However how great it once was, has been almost nearly reduced to rubble. Even from here its easy to tell that its ruined. To the west lies a bunch of children that look almost exactly like PK, huddled together around a fire. The one to the east has an entrance to an old forest, with a giant graveyard, rows and rows of dead people buried under gravel and dirt. Back in the town square however, is a house in particular has a sign with a bottle on it, perhaps something of interest.

Eiji looks around a minute, then finally bows himself. "Nice to meet you too... w-wait a castle? I guess I might as well check it out! It'd be pretty rude to decline an invitation after all. Just go right on through, yeah?" Eiji jumps into the portal, unaware of what adventures await him.

A castle, eh? Senri thinks to herself. A castle probably has a lot of valuables... She could sell them, and bring some home to Mona for souvenirs. She smirks deviously, though PK wouldn't know what she was thinking. A castle does sound like a lovely sight. Lead the way, old friend~

I was not expecting this at all, what change of scenery. [Kagura chugged down his bottle before slowly moving towards the children.] I probably made a wrong turn, where the hell can I find some hot chicks in the middle of a forest or something? [The man almost trips, oops. But he keep moving forward to the west and sits down by the fire.] Hey kids! Mind tellin' this handsome gentleman where can I find some beauties?

{A short teenage girl, who wore clothes colored royal purple with hints of navy blue, and opaque black with hints of slate grey. They were normal, but they still showed a bit of a regal sense. She seemingly ignored it, but then she glanced at it as the light piqued her interest, curiosity internally overflowing.} "Well, I wouldn't want to leave her behind...but she's a big girl, she can take care of herself. So, color me interested. I have enough time on my hands." {She spoke to herself at the portal for a bit before extending her hand inside, which soon made her whole self go inside. She seemed to be a girl with mauveine purple hair, and midnight blue eyes, and she wore her eye shadow and her lipstick at a dark shade. She reached to her purse and decided to take a picture of the atmosphere before putting it back, as she didn't want to be labeled as one of those types of people.}

*Mara yells back at PK and Senri's comments still feeling a little embarrassed but more so bothered* "Eh don't you go twisting images both of you, leave me out of your romance fantasies!" *She would keep yelling but instead notices Kagura falling into the portal and instantly panics, like hell could you not have waited a little longer!" "Hey um guys somebody just jumped into the portal! The hell do you carelessly walk into a portal!" *Mara dashes into the portal to try and drag Kagura out but instead freezes up at the site of the entire crumbled scene before her. Normally someone would panic or freak out but Mara being Mara still somehow finds this place pretty interesting to a extent. She should really seek help* "Oh wow this is....Ok wait I like the look of this crumbled wall and OH the moss looks pretty nice as well gives off a nice vibe!"

Yep yep! Glad to have you onboard It should just be beyond! Try not to destroy too many walls! *As Eiji jumps through, he is met with the drawbridge, and the kingdom before him, as described above, meanwhile PK responds to Senri Sounds great! I'm glad to be of service! Dad? Are you coming along as well? *PK then sees everyone step in before him, running up to chase up to them and yells to Mal Ho there Lady! Are you coming with? I'll be glad to escort you as well! There are many sights to see! Like the great wall of our Natio- *PK then freezes up at seeing the destruction of the place, fear growing in his eyes, visible to the others as he gulps, out of character for out unshakeable shaken Knight, Um... I... I need to check something... Please! Enjoy yourself! I'll be at the castle later! If you see lightning in the sky, that's the signal. Have fun alright?!? PK then runs off summoning his persona next to him as he disappears into the distance before anyone can stop him -- As Kagura approaches the children, he can notice that they seem malnourished. Hollow cheeks, sad expression, bare bones. Barely even noticing his presence until he speaks up and turn to him, although when they see his face all of them scamper off, hiding behind a bench as they discuss among themselves. After a while the oldest one steps forward timidly and speaks up "Uhm... beauties? I think you'll be hard pressed looking for them here. You should leave! Now! O-or else they'll get you!"

Senri examines her surroundings. Seems that the party was growing. There was a few cute looking girls here, atleast, Mona would vastly enjoy it too, she thought. Seems a crowd is packing. Increasing survival chances in case PK turns out to be from a wasteland, eh? She raises a brow towards Kagura, who is clearly intoxicated. Poor guy, he was probably going to die here, especially drunk. She gives a look of amusement. Are we not beauties? maybe you should have brought another bottle. Atleast, I think these two are cute. Senri gestures towards Mal and Mara. If you're looking for a brothel or something, don't ask me. I'm hardly a local. Senri follows PK. The land where PK comes from, eh? should be interesting to see what kind of a madhouse spawned him... ...Oh. Senri narrows her eyes. Looks like this place has seen some shit. A riot? or a war? rampaging monster...? I assume it's not supposed to look like this. Senri begins to walk the streets, examining the damage, trying to gauge what could be the cause of this. She loosely followed PK's direction, but not necessarily hurrying. She should find out what's going on before jumping to conclusions.

*Mara was enjoying the strange yet beauty of the crumbled and mossed walls but she also heard what PK is saying taking the note the stuttering and him freezing up then him eventually running off with his Persona* "Huh that is strange of PK but i'm sure he's fine..... But that doesn't really sound like him honestly ugh now i'm kinda concern welp better go catch up with him." *With a little bit of concern and reality hitting her Mara stops observing the environment and follows PK somewhat concern but could it really be that bad? Maybe it's under control it is PK and his land they sound like a tamed nation surely nothing bad is happening right now? This does not reassure her*

[Kagura's drunken behavior quickly disappears, even if his cheeks are still a bit red. Well, very red. The man closes both eyes and stretches his right arm a bit.] Kid I ain't leavin' after seeing this in front of me. Tell me who or what "they" are. [Kagura gets closer to the kids and places the palm of his hand on the head of two of them.] Then we'll see who's leaving.

{At the mention of the word 'lady', she turns her head towards PK and stops herself, diddly-dallying with her hair and looking at him with an unexpressionable look.} "Hmm? And who might you be? Well, no matter, I'd love an escort anyhow, as this place seems very...exotic, by the looks of it." her voice sounded a bit deep, and a bit fancy. Though, there was also a faint echo behind it. As she saw the palace being decimated though, and how PK had immediately left as she kept blathering on, it made her sigh and flip her hair. "Gods, I do hope the place is alright. I...hope. Of course, of course." "Yes, yes, go into some random portal in the middle of nowhere, surely it'll be a peaceful and joyous experience. Good idea...great plan..." she muttered as she wandered around, the lack of escorting made her lost a bit. Maybe with the group or anywhere else, but she just went onward.

As Senri moves around, wandering the ruined streets, people seem oddly afraid of her, when they notice her presence they move faster and try to get out of her way. Children run back to their homes and lock the door, fathers shy away and try to get out of sight by covering her faces with their hands. The most odd thing though. Is that there are no women about, and they all look the same. Just like PK. Their likenesses is uncanny. As she continues an old man with a cane stumbles on a crack in the rocks and cries in pain nobody tries to help, instead they run. -- As Mara follows PK, he runs and runs, eventually stopping and racking his head as he talks to himself. "Come on PK! Try to remember! North is Pancake Land, East is Egg Land, west is Sausage Land and South is Waffle land! South it is! I hope the worst didn't happen in my absence! Please... PK then takes off again looking extremely agitated, not yet noticing his stalker -- As Kagura approaches the kids, they squirm and try to get free, cowering in fear, doing their best to try and escape. The oldest one then shouts out to answer his question. "They... They are the Guards, the Pancake Guards... They don't like outsiders. They will do horrible things to you... Even worse then spies... Please! I don't want anybody to die! Leave us and go! Before someone reports us!" -- As Mal wanders around, the town looks all the same, busted stones and destroyed houses, soon though she notices somebody in a black cloak approach an armoured man from behind, drawing a dagger and stabbing them from behind, the victim bleeds a strange orange liquid in place of blood however, as the culprit dashes into an alley

*Mara takes a sharp turn south to try and keep up with PK growing more nervous and suspicious of PK’s actions is this normal of him* “I’m sure this has to be normal right maybe everything is normal and i’m just assuming? I should probably stop chasing the dude like a creep...no this defiantly ain’t normal the sky and auras are telling me otherwise something chunky is on going.” *Mara continues to pursue PK trying to figure out if this something wrong or right* “Would be real embarrassing if nothing was wrong at all but I guess the cardio is good.”

[The rulers of this place are truly tyranic. Kagura's stomach feels sick, and not because of the gigantic amount of booze he had the past few hours. Despite this, he opens his eyes and stands up.] I'll be on my way, but you need to tell me where they are. Don't worry, I'm not goin' to report ya. [Kagura tightens his bandages and makes sure to take the dust off his cape.] I will beat the livin' crap outta them till they realize they are being jackasses.

{As she wanders around, she begins to feel bored, walking at a slow pace, strutting her legs forward though as she holds her purse. When she does find the crime scene in the middle of all this rubbish, she stops in her tracks, staring with a blank gaze as she watches the armored man get stabbed, noticeably paying attention to the orange liquid it bleeds out. Though a quite horrid and horrific scene, the girl doesn't do much but bat an eye towards the scene and stare at the culprit.} She reaches into her purse, but doesn't find much except for the normal things a girl should have, plus a pocket knife and a silenced pistol. "Really now? Must she always possess things that are of no use to me? Ah well, I guess I just have to everything myself." she says to the air, her voice being faintly heard by the figure fleeing, probably as a warning sign. {She raises one arm up into the sky, as a figure magically forms into her hands, making it's shape as a glaive made out of glass. She then coats it in a poison aroma as the glaive turns a vibrant purple and drips of toxic venim. And as such, she then follows the cloaked-culprit with a small grin on her face while moving at a surprisingly slow pace, since she wants to play cat and mice with the criminal.}

Senri continues, looking on at the population which seems to not want anything to do with her. Huh. Odd. Usually she gets funny looks wherever she goes, but never have people been outwardly scared of her. It would be refreshing... If they all didn't look like PK. It was surreal, like an acid trip. She sees the old man PK-lookalike collapse. Her first thought is to pay no mind; he had nothing to do with her. She had to catch up to the PK she knew. ...But, what would Mona say if he were here? would a Phantom Thief abandon someone forgotten by others, lying in agony? ...No. They wouldn't... Besides, perhaps he is wise and can tell her what is going on. PK is likely too far ahead to keep up to. And the fact he looked like a grandpa PK made her empathetic. She sighs, stops in her tracks and appoaches the man, attempting to held him back to his feet. Oi, you alright? Watch where you're walking. I don't know what's happening here, but I think you should head home before you get hurt again.

As Mara continues to follow, PK picks up the pace. After a short they come across a hill with a circular building in the center, pristine and clear of carnage or any sign of damage. PK then enters in through a door, Mara can see from their position that there are engravings on the walls inside. But its impossible to make out what they are in detail from far away. -- The children panic as Kagura mention that he needs directions to the guard, swallowing the oldest speaks for them again "Why? Why are you doing this? Isn't everyone just looking out for themselves? I-if you must know the majority of the guards are in the Castle. Just up ahead. Wh-whatever you are doing please don't kill anybody... Sure more can be made... But it's just not right!" -- As Mal stalks her prey, the culprit sneaks along, running down the long windy alleyways before opening a barrel and jumping inside, not moving however, perhaps hiding? Its pretty clear to Mal though where they are. Looks like a perfect chance to strike true. -- As Senri helps the poor Pancake Grandpa up, he picks up his cane and turns to meet the person who helped him up. "Ah... Thank you Panca- Wait! You-your an outsider! Are you a spy? Wh-why are you here? Please... Don-don't hurt me! I'll give you anything! You can have my pancakes! Or-or some waffles! I know a dealer! Please! I have children! Just... Don't kill me! Don't kill me... Don't kill me..." The old man then continues to mutter the words don't kill me over and over. Without stopping.

*Mara does make it to the building but before she continues the chase she catches a glmispse of the engravings on the walls in the building* “Well i’m sure this won’t take that long if PK IS safe the maybe I can spare some time. Yeah totally I can spare time. Oleum! *Mara shouts and her Derelict is summoned before her who she commands to go over to the engraving to get a better look* “Well what do you notice buddy anything noteworthy or such at all?”

Why I'm doin' it is because you kids look like you need a bit of help, who knows how many others. [This apparently drunk man turned to smile at the kids with a confidence not seen in many places. His eyes were like the burning sun, his stance was calm and collected. His carefree voice now had a lower tone, absolute seriousness.] I'll take your word, nobody is dying today. But right now, I feel like overthrowing a regime. [The man looks with his eyes for the Castle, and quickly makes his way towards it. The winds waves his cape as he makes a sharp turn.] I'm not called the "Black Knight" for anything. [The childran may only see a firm thumbs up as the sole man walks towards the Castle. Waving cape, heroic thumbs up, a powerful sword on his back and an empty bottle on his left hand.]

Senri blinks at his reaction. Just how fucked was this town? Calm down. I'm not a spy. I'm a treasure hunter, from outside this land. I came seeking adventure and treasure with an acquaintance, but it seems this place has fallen on hard times. What exactly happened here? I suggest cooperating with me. You help me, I help you, yes?

{As she sees the culprit hide inside the barrel, she snickers, her voice sending chills up the culprit's spine as it's echoes make him feel haunted as her giggling soon bursts out into laughter.} {She starts off by making dark and opaque ribbons appear around the barrel, wrapping itself around it, and then tossing it to a wall, as she then trailed her glass glaive from the ground, making a trail of purple acid follow her. "Now now, sweetie, don't be shy. There's nothing to be afraid of when I'm here. So, why don't you trust me so I can gladly send you to a special place." her voice become more and more malicious as she gets closer, the echoing shrills and drills it's way into the culprit's head. "Sadly this special place is one where you can never wait up..." the same two black opaque ribbons extend itself to the culprit, trying to jab itself inside like he did to the victim. "but don't be afraid, because you won't have to do anything bad ever again!" "So sit tight, I'll be sure to take extra special care of you." She then put her arm out and blew a purple dust at the culprit. The sparkles it makes signals it's a bad idea to inhale it. (As in, causes random mental status.)

As Mara sends the derelict down. Oleum can see the engravings clearing. As english lies on the bottom "4 nations at each direction of the world that all lived in harmony. A person called a knight. The one who enjoyed all manor of breakfast foods was said to be able to uphold the peace of the nervous neighbors. However when the world needed him most. He vanished. Then everything changed. The Waffle Nation attacked. Crippling the world..." Strangely enough, the last bit seems freshly carved, as if it was a recent event. PK stares at the wall, eventually breaking down and sitting on the floor, cradling himself as he hugs his legs, putting his face down and sobbing... -- The kids seem to be afraid of what Kagura suggests, but don't try to stop him, letting him go as they hear the words "Black Knight" shaking their head as they whisper to themselves "That can't be right. Knights don't exist...." Kagura then runs down the street and eventually meets up with a line of armoured guards with spears and helmets training on straw dummies. Soon enough one of them notices him and shouts out. His attire is slightly different as it has a feather on his helm "Outsider! What is your business here! Outsiders are only allowed with permission of an adult citizen and the king! Without the approval you will be brought to court!" -- As Senri tries to calm down the old man he eventually gets his bearings and tries to explain the past to Senri "Well... It didn't used to be like this. We were doing just fine, until a couple of years ago, Pancake Land was called to arms by their allies, rallied together against Waffle Land. The opposing nation. But we didn't expect it... Some... Terrible power was used. Their king used some strange beast and it destroyed the army. Now they have ransacked everywhere, the Waffle Army that is... They don't have the power to finish us off just yet... But I can feel it... The beast will be back soon... To end all of us..." -- As Mal decimates the barrel, destroying it to pieces, all that is left is curiously enough only wood. No body or "blood", apparently the floor under the barrel was a hidden trap door, opened and leading into a dark tunnel with a light at the end. Where could this lead?

*Mara has this info ‘feed’ through the Derelict to her to understand, she gestures the Derelict back to her side and pats it to show gratitude for it’s constant service then it fades away on cue. She then hears sobbing before finding PK this sends her back again, PK crying someone like him crying? Surly this is tears of joy or a joke right he’s not actually crying tears of grief?* “PK? Hey what’s the matter old chum I can hear your sobbing pretty loud and clear. Hey PK wh-what’s wrong someone upbeat like you shouldn’t be sobbing.” *Mara walks over to PK’s side and crouches down placing a hand on his shoulder to try comforting her friend she’s not the best at any of this emotional stuff and comforting but she hopes the gesture still helps. At the same time she’s trying to take in the information of the engravings to output any theories or possibilities of what has undergone*

{Due to showing off a bit much to nothing but a barrel, the girl is, of course, slightly embarrassed, making her throw her glaive at the trap door and pouting a bit.} "What?..No, really, what? B-but how? Ugh, me and my stupid good looks and charm. What would I need those for when I can just make a fool of myself to nobody." {She whined and grumbled to herself, and she is quite glad she's not in the face of public by now. Though, her sour mood quickly shut off as she found herself opening the hidden door.} "Though, I do wonder what would occur if I went down here, in this dark, lonely, ambiguous trap door. But, since that man can be damned to hell for doing that, I'll just do myself a favor and go in." {And as such, she proceeded to continue onward, to find where this room goes, and to hopefully kill that "bastard"...or so she says.}

A terrible power, hm...? Perhaps, if I took this "terrible power" for myself, both of our problems would be solved. At any rate, imperialism cannot be tolerated, and I don't intend to go home empty handed. This "beast" you describe sounds like it would be troubling, however... Where is this Waffle Armies base of operations? I will attain the information I require there.

I'm lookin' for a buncha bullies named the "Pancake Guards", and by the way you guys talk...I think I hit the jackpot. [The man points at the one guard with a feather on his helm using his left index finger. The empty bottle is a clear contrast of his otherwise heroic figure.] When it comes to business I just wanna have fun, when it's about permission then I say "Excuse me" beforehand. [Kagura throws the empty bottle to the ground, it shatter on impact. And his sword leaves his back, thrusting itself into the ground due to the weight of the thing. Kagura leans against this massive sword and closes both eyes.] And so... Excuse me, but I wanna have some fun. Therefore, I give myself the permission to kick your ass back into the fridge.

As Mara approaches and tries to comfort PK, he continues to cry for a bit before getting up and wiping away his tears, speaking with sad voice, barely audible "D-dad.. Don-don't call me that... I'm no Pancake Knight... I'm a Pancake Peasant. I don't deserve the title of Knight.. I left this world when it needed somebody to help them... I didn't even follow my own code of honor! I've just been playing a game! I can't save this world... I.. I should have done something more reasonable... Like baking.." -- As Mal enters the tunnel, she notices posters on the wall, a picture of PK with a crown on its head, presumably the "Pancake King" as said on the top, on the bottom lies phrases he said, they seem... Crazy though... "We will build a wall! To keep the Waffles out!" "They are taking our jobs! Our guilds!" "Make Pancake Land great again!" So on and so forth, the paper seems old however. Not recent at all. At the end of the tunnel lies a room with a torch, as she enters the cloaked man turns to her and smiles "So, you finally caught up. Now Now, we are on the same side. Outsider and spy are the same thing. Ah! Where are my manners! I am Waffle Spy, would you like some syrup? Or perhaps some waffles? I have plenty of both!" -- The man trembles as Senri mentions taking the power for her own, looking around nervously "No! Nobody can control it! Although... An outside might be able to... Do you have the power of a card? I believe they called it... Persona? Its very foreign and foggy to me... As for the base.. Nobody knows... Its just... Somewhere south. Nobody bothered to make a map as nobody knows how to read or write except for Outsiders and Elders. Even then Elders have no care for the Lands, only themselves and their history" -- The Pancake Guard with the feather atop of his helm scoffs at Kagura, looking around at his men as they form a circle surrounding Kagura as the Guard enters. "My name is Pancake Captain. I have severed for 20 years now. I'm the best of the best here. We Guards keep the peace around here. Stopping spies from killing our King. As such. I'll fight you head on myself. No tricks or fancy spells. Just fist and cuffs. Outsider to Captain. I hope you don't disappoint, otherwise we won't have some fun." The Captain then enters a combat post as he shuffles back and forth on his toes, staying light and nimble

Senri's eyes bulge at the mention of "Persona". It extends to this world as well? I believe I do... In that case, I will certainly take care of your problem, and this worlds great treasure. Senri smiled with determination. If she could gain this power, and perhaps liberate PKs home of tyranny as well, that would be a full job. I see. I just need to find where "South" is. And to do that, I must seek the Elders... Do they reside anywhere, or are they scattered? If Senri didn't know where to look, she could always go "scavenging" for information the old fashion way...

*The words PK spoke shocked her but she quickly shook it off this isn’t typical of PK to look down on himself to call himself a failure that sounds more like her then anything he would do and Mara won’t let her friend lose his moral or title* “Peasant? Baker? That’s Blasphemy you hear! The hell you talking you that you’re not a knight when you are a knight through and through. Now I may be lost on what’s fully going on but you’re a man of honour and deserve that title of a Knight damn straight our times together testify your actions so enough of these false words!” *Mara is staring intensely into PK before taking a breath in and letting out some of her tension and awkwardness with a smirk directed to PK* “Besides isn’t my role to get all sullen and sad then you come and cheer me up with your obnoxious upbeat attitude? Come on your making me look even more pathetic the more I try to cheer you up so just relive yourself already for me.”

I came looking for a coward and I find myself a man. To be honest, I was hoping I would find some sort of attractive woman along the way but here we are. [Kagura pushes himself from the sword and leaves it in place. The man takes a fighting pose, doing nothing but cracking his knuckles. He then makes some quick circular movements with his head.] I don't want a stiff neck. I'll let you know though, you try anything weird and not a single one of your men will be able to walk for a week or two.

{The girl stroked the walls, reading all of the messages on the wall, trying to make out the words as she makes a small grin, as it reminded her of the old times, before she was sent...here of all places.} "Ah, I remember when everyone was serenading these kind of messages to me, sometimes I wish I could go back, but for now, I'm just stuck in this little- " {She kept saying things to herself, reminiscing...though when she got to the room with the torch, she shielded herself from the sudden light source. It was also until then until she saw him that her mood changed once more as she pointed her glaive at him.} "A waffle spy huh? Well, one wonders...how much fun is this job to you? And second, how come you think I'll be on your side so quickly? After all, I'm better off working alone...and also I want a waffle with syrup, if you don't mind." {The distance between them was then opened back up once she asked for a waffle though. She put her glaive down and she was also a bit curious about the waffle spy. But then something crossed her mind.} "Oh, where are my manners? My name is Madelon Anécœur, but please, just Madelon will be fine. Despite what you see now, I am just a humble spirit that resides within this girl's body. Which unfortunately means that she might come back sometime soon...but that aside, it's a pleasure."

*A young man appears. About the age of 18 he seems to be extremely normal except for his eyes which were two different colors. The yellow eye however let off a feeling of magical energy as he looks around at the new environment he finds himself in* *He speaks to himself* Oh come on! Why does this stupid spell always mess up on me.

The old man's eyes widen at Senri nodding along before speaking "Yes yes... Then maybe you can save us... I have no idea what Waffle Land has in store, but I can assure you they will have lots of it! Way more then us at least. As for the Elders... They are extremely elusive. You are better off trying to find an eggshell in a mountain of batter. It's nearly impossible... The only thing I can recommend is to have them approach you. To do that, you'll need the blessing of a king. Plus you'll have to have notoriety, to be known across the land. It will be difficult... But maybe you might be a Knight..." -- PK then looks up at Mara, listening intently as his eyes sparkle, paying close attention as he wipes away the rest of his sadness, eventually looking around him yet again and noticing that the engravings haven't filled the entire room yet "Your right. I am a Knight! My tale hasn't ended yet! Dad.. I'm sorry you had to help me. But I'm good now! I will save this place! There is still time! The first step is to repair Pancake Land! Then. The World! I can count on you right? Then let's go! The Pancake King needs to know that the Knight is back though! So let's get moving! To the King! You go there first! I still need to try and contact someone, they don't like outsiders like you Dad. So I need to go alone! My Breakfast Blades will fly you to the Castle! Just hold on tight!" PK then conjures his persona and fuses them into 2 flying blades for Mara. Handing them over before nodding, stepping outside and running off, disappearing. The blades still await Mara to hang on though. -- "Even Captains uphold the Knight's code. I am an honorable Pancake Captain. I hope you do the same" The Captain then smirks at Kagura, moving in for a right uppercut at Kagura's jaw before dashing backwards a slight bit and jabbing at his stomach with his left. "Don't you worry about that neck, I'll make sure its nice and loose. As for tricks. You have my word. My army is my lifeblood I won't let any harm fall to them." -- The Waffle spy shrugs at Madelon before finding a crate and opening it, taking waffles and tankards of syrup for both of them. Throwing Mad one of each before chowing down on the Waffle and drinking the entire thing of syrup "Ah! Noting quite like it! I have no idea why they prefer pancakes, waffles are way better. Food aside, let's get straight to business. This job is a dream. Serving my Land is a honor, even if I have to stab a few backs. As for why you would help me? Our goals align. If you kill the Pancake King, the people stop being oppressed, and Waffle Land takes over. We both get something positive. If you don't like it. You can leave. I'm not going to stab you just cause your an outsider or even cause your not working with me. I've got a bit of pride." -- Regardless. A loud voice begins to rumble around the Land. A commanding voice rings out. "All Outsiders. The King requests your presence at the Castle immediately. All fighting is to stop. I repeat. All Outsiders are to meet at the Castle immediately. -- Biri finds himself at the entrance of a Castle, with a group of guards and Kagura. Dueling it out, however when the voice speaks they stop and begin to disperse. Except for the Captain

A kings blessing, and heat, hm? I can't say I'm good with authorities, but, I suppose hitting up the castle couldn't hurt. as for notoriety... Well, in my land, I was quite infamous, so that shouldn't be hard. Senri looks at the castle that stands above everything. That's the destination. Perhaps PK is there too. I'm afraid I'm not necessarily the "Knight" you're looking for. But... I'll gladly be a liberator. Take care of yourself, ojii-san. Stay indoors less you fall again, yes? Senri bowed to the old man in appreciation before heading towards the castle. A Kings blessing, and noteriety? she could probably kill two birds with one stone. She's never gotten along with the wealthy... It should be interesting how this pans out.

*Mara stares blankly as PK runs off* “The kids always seems to scurry off but I think I got his mojo back.” *Mara walked up to the breakfast blades hearing the Kings order seems to have solidified her destination but she is still at uneasy and puzzled in this current situation regardless she gets unto the Breakfeast Blades and prepares for travel at the same time she summons Oleum again* “Hey bud wanna run by me that engraving informations maybe we can come up with something?” *Oleum nods at the request and starts sharing what he found with Mara psychologically* “ Thanks Oleum keep it up maybe something new will come. Now...how do I er....travel with this?”

[Kagura takes the two hits and take a step or two back. After this he chuckles a bit before moving forward with his left fist. However, the way he hits him is rather unique, instead of the front of his fist clashing against the face of the Captain, it's the back of his hand. Immediately after, he does it again in the exact same way.] Call me "Black Knight" [The sword that was left behind standing tal was taller than Kagura himself, and as wide as the man. One can only imagine how strong he must be to swing that around. Kagura hopes these two punches are enough, but then he hears that commanding voice and he hold his head wih both hands.] Man! My head...! I think the booze is going away, damn! But...I guess we could settle this later, looks like I've been called.

{Madelon nearly catches both the tankard and the waffle, then opens the syrup tankard to dip the waffle in as she eats it slowly. She may be a bit hungry but she never had eaten any kind of meal hastily. Once she finishes the waffle, she then keeps the tankard around to take a sip from it every often.} "I do like pancakes, but waffles are also nice. Though, for the sake of this partnership, I'll just say that waffles are better." Afterwards she takes a nice little sip from the tankard. It feels a bit too fancy to be eating waffles and drinking syrup like this of all things. "Though, I'm not so sure if our goals align, after all, I just recently got here. Everything here is still new to me. After all, if you didn't tell me this, I might've killed you on the spot for making me destroy that poor poor barrel..." "Jokes aside, now I do have a motivation to stay here and actually do something to help this land. Despite how I think it being a tiny bit petty, I'm sure we can make wonders and miracles. The Pancake King, or whoever he is, will now be a new target of ours. Hopefully we do rid the oppression so that you all rule the entire land and I can have my peace, so from the bottom of my heart, I hope we can get along." {After sharing her thoughts, she puts her glaive away and extends her arm out, opening her hand to have a genuine looking handshake. A naive, look spreads across her face, and she looks like she's ready to propose a deal.}

"Then I wish you luck Outsider. May you be our liberator then." The old man then shuffles away as he mumbles to himself about the name Oji-san. What did it mean? At any rate Senri runs for the Castle. All roads shall lead to the end. -- As Kagura strikes the Captain, he falls to the floor with little resistance, nodding at his statements. Coughing a little before speaking again. "Yes. Meet with the King. There must be a reason for this. As for your name Outsider. Do not sully the name "Knight", it is reserved for the Hero that will unite the Lands. Outsiders don't count." The Captain then turns to Biri and frowns. Speaking with as much energy as he can muster "This is Pancake Land. That is our castle. The voice must have been a Pancake Advisor. Advisor to the Pancake King. Now hurry along. No dilly dallying." -- As Mara converses, the swords soon grow tired and pick her up with the tip of their blades, making them sit on the hilts as they zoom across the air. The blade carrying the derelict being slightly slower, but they eventually reach the Castle with the rest of the group. -- The Waffle Spy then smiles and begins to shake Mad's hand, however, when he's just about to he remembers the voice and speaks hastily. "Yes yes! If we had more time I would happily go through the procedure. But we are out of time. You should meet with the King now. Just remember what I've told you. You probably won't see me again. Just think about my idea. Now be off. Don't keep the King waiting. -- As the entire party converges in front of the castle except for Mad, the door opens as a long red carpet is thrown out, a sharply dressed denizen steps out wearing a robe. Presumably the Pancake Advisor as he counts the people there. "Hmm... We are missing one. No matter. Outsiders will now enter the castle to meet the King. Do not speak out of turn and listen to his demands. Or you may meet an untimely fate."

*Biri thinks to himself* Why am I here? But it doesn’t matter now, I just have to wait and see hopefully everything becomes clearer once this “Pancake King” speaks

Senri arrives at the entrance to meet the party soon enough. Despite being about to meet a king, Senri seemed to carry herself normally and without an air of elegance. This could end up going really bad. Oi, it's PK's girlfriend and the others. Everyone's gonna meet this King, eh? the king of the nation PK came from... This'll be something, at least. ...Where did that guy go, anyway? ...Oh well, it's his nation. We're just visiting.

"The Hero that will unite the Land", that sounds good. [Kagura gives his sword a very weak and quick kick. The sword then rapidly spin in the air before the man catches it with his right hand. Then, after another quick spin of the sword he places it on his back as he makes his way to the Castle.] This "Pancake King" will have a lot to answer for. [However, he overhears what the Advisor said before walking down the long red carpet. The man sighs.] Or I can just make whatever time I have be worth it. Hopefully something can be done for those kids.

"Then we have it settled then? Well then, do come back soon!" She said to the Waffle Spy as she waved back at him, walking away with a look of confidence...and also forget. {When she leaves out the trap door, she sets out to try and meet with the Pancake King. Though, as she prepared to try and sprint all the way there, she took out her glaive and tried a different route.} {She raised her glaive up in the air, which soon covered her inside a blue dome. After a brief second, she was then warped in front of the castle. She then ran up to the Pancake Advisor.} "Ah, I suppose you are the advisor, correct? Well I'm one of the outsiders missed from your little attendance, so may I please come in to meet the Pancake Knight? That is, if you don't mind..." She asked of the Pancake Advisor, giving him a curtsie with the current clothes she wears right now.

*Biri reads through his notebook getting ready to cast a spell Incase anything goes out of hand* (Mumbling to himself he waits for the King to finally speak whatever is on his mind)

*As Mara stumbles off the Breakfast Blades she talked with Oleum for a brief bit* “Owch...Hey Oleum I think I should just rely on you for transportation from now on ok. Good Botto.” *She pets her Derelict for a bit before having it fade away and approach the castle what lays beyond there is still a mystery Oleum and her are still trying to communicate any ideas but things seem so off maybe the others have a better idea on what’s going on. On cue she meets up with other but Sneri’s comment rubs Mara the wrong way* “Believe me he’s all yours if you are feeling that desperate chum so watch your tounge mate. Anyway I was following the Knight down south long story but we found some engravings on this nations background. PK ran off though to make contact with someone he said they hated outsiders though. So what about the rest of you find anything note worthy?”

Don’t ask me, I just showed up. But if you can tell me what the situation is I should be able to help some how. *Biri says this while continually looking through his notebook of spells*

The Pancake Advisor nods at the group and leads them down the carpet without much discussion. Keeping quiet as they are lead to a chamber. The paintings and regalia on the walls are scarred and burned. The only thing that seems to be in good condition is the throne. Which lies the King. A figure that looks exactly like PK. With a bright yellow uniform. Other then that the only thing that sets him apart is his face. He seems very pale and ill for a king. With many wrinkles. He then shouts out. Wasting no time. His voice is rickety and hollow. "Outsiders. Why are you here? You have all committed a crime simply by being here. You should all be executed. But I shall give you all one chance to redeem yourself. Now tal-" Just as he's about to finish, PK jumps through the roof and lands in the center, shouting to the King "Aha! No more games Arthur! I'm back! These people are with me! We are here to save the Lands! As I! The Pancake Knight and my round table!" The King, aptly named Arthur then stares down PK with disdain. Rage in his eyes "You... You don't have the right to call me by that name. You should treat me with higher respect. Exiled one. You are no Knight. You do not belong in this story. I am the King. I shall be the happy ending." "Your alot older then I remember! But I will save this place! I promise you! At least let them explain themselves! Your here to help right? Explain it to him!" PK then smiles confidently at the group. Hopefully they can persuade him.

Listen, I have no clue as to what’s going on. But if someone needs help and if it leads to saving people than that’s the job for me because I’m not just any outsider mind you.....I am Biri Tagomi the Magician, I shall fight the good fight till the day I die with magic on my side.

“Hey don’t look at me either i’m not entirely a persuader i’m still trying to figure out what is entirely going on but if you need some job done i’m all ears I guess. Besides it’s PK i’m sure you can trust your star knight or something I don’t know...i’ll just work in the corner now.” *Mara awkwardly walks off from the group still more focus on unraveling the history and meaning of the four nations. But out of all times to fall flat this was really poor*

Senri boldly steps forward. PK here has faught fate with his own hands awhile you sat here and indulged in yourself. A king is nothing without the efforts of the peasants and the henchmen that give you the food and protection that allows you to be where you are. PK has earned his place. PK isn't that smart, but his heart and will burn. Fighting alongside him against forces outside your comprehension, I know this. I am Senri Suzuko. I am a treasure hunter from another world. I am hardly a hero of justice, but I am sympathetic to people suffering under the tyranny of the elite, and by extension, my friends world. I shall assist him in reclaiming his home.

I don’t know what PK has done to fight fate but this Senri person seems to be the normal one so what she says goes for me. If PK earned his place then he earned it and he deserves its for fighting fate

The King thinks to himself as he watches over, hearing all their arguments before shaking his head "I see no reason to keep outsiders that berate me in my dream. I have been chosen to lead. So I shall. You know nothing of what I've done. Guards! Sentence the Outsiders to prison! As for the "Knight" I'll deal with you myse- ack! ACGH!" The King then cough, however it appears pretty bad, he must be incredibly sickly, coughing so hard a strange orange blood escapes his throat, what's even more strange is that you could swear you saw a 1 or 0 in the liquid, but it quickly fades... The King soon recovers though as he waves for the guards. PK making a face and looking back at the party. "Gah, please! For now just listen along alright? I'll make sure you are okay! No harm will fall on you while I'm around!" The guards then knock the party out except for PK as the world goes dark for them... [Act 1 Clear] [Please stay tuned for Act 2!]
