Jack had watched the others mess with the keyhole with mild curiosity. Okay, it was a little more than mild because, well, he'd never seen magic keyholes or keyblades before. But it wasn't like he could do much to help, not unless they needed someone cold. The light show had been especially interesting when the keyhole had disappeared and turned into a doorway instead. And while it might have been made of light and magic, Jack knew a door when he saw one. He didn't sit and study it for long though. Instead he got this look on his face, a mischievous look that just spelled trouble. Despite the time they'd spent together, Snowball hadn't quite learned when to anticipate Jack's bouts of trouble-making. Instead she just fluttered by his head and kept her focus on the doorway.

His focus was on it as well. Jack had always been naturally curious and there was just something about the doorway that called to him. Adventure and who knew what else were waiting on the other side. He looked over his shoulder to Snowball, "Race ya!" Snowball squeaked in bafflement as if to ask 'Wait...what Jack what are you doing?' Jack didn't answer though, he just flew towards the door with a trail of frost and snow behind him. Letting out a sharp laugh as he realized he'd completely left everyone in his snowy dust.

Should he have thought this out and possibly waited for someone to explain WHAT the door led to? Probably. But what would have been the fun in that? He was 300 years old and hadn't listened to anyone give him orders in centuries. Why should he start now? Jack was through the doorway before you could say Winter Wonderland and he burst out through the other side...and was promptly nearly blinded by the sudden light of day.

Jack stumbled back in the air, hand going to his eyes to block out the sun for a moment. "Okay, okay, probably should have expected a sun...ow," he muttered, blinking out spots and dropping from his hovering in the air to the cobblestone. Once his eyes adjusted he blinked and looked around, "Woah...where are we?" Snowball tumbled out of the doorway behind him and crashed into his shoulder with an infuriated squeak. Jack chuckled and turned to scoop her up, "You really gotta learn how to keep up, Snowball."

For all that she'd been around more than long enough to begin to get as used to the place as she was ever likely to be, Granny was still not at all pleased by many of the things that had come up over the course of her stay. Dreams or no, it wasn't right to keep a body hostage without their permission and she'd had about enough of trying to deal with things that didn't make any sort of sense*.

Honestly, the only reason she'd even known to come out to the right district to step from one world into another was because it was the sort of thing that witches were instinctively drawn. She would, of course, insist that she hadn't had any inclination to step through to another world, but she was there all the same. She refused to blink in the sunlight. The sun wouldn't get the better of her here.


*Most of which would have, if she'd found it in her to only ask, but her pride would never have allowed it.

Luna had no particular reason to fear entering the door; there were few environments that could seriously harm her, and she could hold her own against most beasts. She wasn't certain how far the same could be said for Jack, however, so she jumped after him, wings flapping to gain a little speed.

Once through, she skidded to a halt, raising one wing to shield her eyes. "Ah, sunlight!" It was just about twilight here, from the angle of the light. This was the kind of sun the night princess was most accustomed to seeing, but right now she rather felt she would have welcomed high noon just as readily. She spread both wings out to catch the fading rays and smiled up at the sky. "We never thought we should be so pleased to see it!" she commented to Jack. "This new world doth not seem so fearful."

The possibilities a new doorway provided were exciting to Xion as, well, but nearly a year of training meant she was naturally a little more cautious than Jack. They didn't know anything about what was on the other side after all, and a new world meant recon first, further exploration later.

That said, she was naturally curious, and had all of Sora's inclination to not let someone go running into the unknown without help. So when Jack raced through the door, she followed, Axel and Barkley close behind. Recon had to start somewhere, after all.

The moment she stepped through the door, she was glad of her hood. It kept the light from getting her eyes as badly, though she still had to blink a few moments to adjust. When she did, she gasped.

This was Twilight Town, but...that couldn't be. It had never fallen to Darkness. Though it was one of those in-between worlds--maybe that was why it was here in the Realm of Sleep.

Even with that thought, it took her a moment to get over her shock and smile. She'd have to go back and tell the others as soon as she could, but there was some time to explore.
