What's this, what's this?

Characters: Anyone who wanted to go explore the mansion
Content: Exploration!!
Location: The abandoned mansion
Time of Day: Whenever
Warnings: None

There have been rumors of it being haunted. There have been suggestions that what's inside might not be what people remember. Which is correct?

No one can say for sure, and the mansion certainly isn't about talk. The only answer to questions is waiting inside.

So come, step in through the crack in the wall. Explore the forest and what lies beyond. The answers have to be there somewhere after all.]

That actually had been rather impressive, the way the remaining Nightmares were destroyed. It kind of made Emizel consider after they finished exploring that maybe he sure consider some new Spirits, although he still was concerned about having too many. "Good work.."

Once Emizel made it to the top he glanced around to be sure no more Nightmares were going to pop up, and paused. "To the right, you said?" because if so, he carefully wandered in that direction.

At the appearance of the Me Me Bunnies, Xion had her Keyblade held at the ready, prepared to fend them off. Jack fended them off before she could even try to attack one or do anything else to back him up, however, leaving her blinking in surprise for a moment. Then, she relaxed her stance and smiled. "Yeah, thanks."

Even that moment's delay had given Emizel a head start to the top of the stairs. She hurried to catch up. "Yeah, it's the door on the right."

Jack couldn't help himself and scratched at March's ear. The bunny might be a pain sometimes but darn if she couldn't kick some serious butt. Jack hovered for a moment before following Xion and Emizel towards the door on the right.

"Well, let's see what's behind door number 2."

This is a wide open room, distinguishable as a library only by the bookshelves that line the walls, filled to the brim with books and, in one corner, a golden vase. In the center of the room, there is a small, rectangular table with a strange symbol drawn on its surface in chalk. The symbol looks to be incomplete, however.

Nothing too out of the ordinary here, though.. wait a second. Emizel hurried to the table as soon as he saw something white on top of it.

"Another one?" Good thing this room wasn't as trashed up, making the table much more accessible than the last one. Although, he sort of look disappointed once he leaned down noticed that it wasn't complete. "... It doesn't look finished."

He straightened up again and surveyed the rest of the room. There must be chalk in here too, if they could find that it could be an easy fix.

The room really didn't look much different, though the vase was something new. It was nice to see it wasn't a mess.

'It wasn't when I saw it here, either, but this is the same place I saw it in the Twilight Town that was awake." Xion followed Emizel to the table to have a look. If it was here, too, why was it on the table downstairs?

Following Emizel's gaze, she guessed what he might be looking for. "I don't remember there being anything to draw with in here, but we can look."

Another one? Jack stepped forward to examine the table as well. He pursed his lips in thought. Why would there need to be two? And why was one table broken and the other completely intact. Was the symbol so important that it needed to be drawn on two tables? Xion didn't even seem to know what the missing symbol would be so what COULD it mean.

"But we don't even know what to draw...do we?" Jack ran his hand over this drawing too, studying it closely before looking up. He could see Emizel was searching for something, chalk apparently. Jack glanced around too but nothing jumped out at him.

Emizel stopped looking and glanced back to Jack and the table.

"... We could only fill in the lines," he didn't really sound so sure either. It did also seen weird that whoever drew it didn't even bother to finish it. Considering half of the mansion was wrecked, maybe they were in a hurry?

"I think there was chalk on the first floor." Except, that meant having to go back down to get it.

In the waking world, the only symbol was the one on the library table--the other had just been broken. Not that that explained why it was there in the first place, or why there were two, here. Xion sighed. While she did sometimes like investigating things, there were too few clues here for comfort. She'd definitely have to ask some of the others later.

"The symbol for Nightmares is the only I can think of, but I'm not sure. I guess we could try just filling it in...Do you want to go back for the chalk?" She did remember seeing some down there.

Jack rolled his shoulders. "I'll get it. I can fly right past the Nightmares if they're back and be back quick as a flash." He started for the door again. "You two wait here. C'mon March, Snowball." His two Dreameaters bounded over to him. Snowball looked eager to fly and March waved an ear at Xion and Emizel.

He left the room before they could argue. It wasn't hard to drop back to the first floor and go back to the room to collect the chalk and he returned a moment later, tossing the chalk over to Xion. "Catch."

Good, now with the chalk they could doctor the symbol up. Emizel walked towards the table just to examine it again. Only thinking this through even more... yesh, it kinda looked more complicated than he thought. Or so, until he cocked his head to the side to look at it in an angle.

"... Wait a minute.."

He bent over the table again. It's doubtful getting closer to the symbol was going to help, unless maybe the missing lines had simply faded away. Emizel still wasn't sure what he was looking at. But one thing he did know, it looked like it was constructed in three parts, sort of like the one downstairs.

"I see circles," he lightly traced where one looked like it should have been with his finger. Considering the image appeared symmetrical, it's easy to assume the other sides probably had one too.

Seeing Jack take off so easily, Xion felt something she thought was annoyance at the fact that she'd never made it to Neverland. Both Roxas and Axel had learned to fly there, but she never had, and it looked like fun. That was another thing they'd have to do once everything got settled; go to Neverland and fly together, the three of them.

She caught the chalk easily, and walked over to the table to look at the symbol again along with Emizel. "Yeah, three of them."

Though she wasn't good at drawing, she could trace lines. Carefully she reached out with the chalk and began to trace over what had already been drawn. Maybe it would help give her an idea about what was missing.

Jack followed her over and studied the drawing again. "Well, it's a place to start."

He leaned against his staff and watched Xion draw in the circles. As soon as she finished Jack looked around to see if anything would change or provide a clue for their next move.

It didn't seem like anything happened. Well, there was no way it was going to be that easy. But now what?

Emizel hummed quietly while he stared at the symbol some more, now that the circles were complete. It did sort of looked a little bare, or was it supposed to be like that? Without any clues... this was a little difficult.

"... Maybe something goes inside them," if it was like the pictures downstairs, they still had no clue what the last one was.

It was a place to start, and Xion hadn't expected anything to happen until all the circles were filled in. Overall, her tracing job wasn't as neat as the drawing downstairs--the lines were a little crooked in places, and didn't stay the same thickness--but it was at least recognizable as circles.

If it was the same as the picture downstairs and the one Xion had originally seen on this table, she knew what to draw in two of the circles. She might be a poor artist, but recon missions were good practice for remembering things well. Slowly, she filled in the Heartless symbol, then the one for Nobodies, then paused.

What went in the last circle...

"It's gotta be another symbol related to the first two, right?" Jack suggested, pointing at the blank space. He wished he knew more but of the three of them Xion was the only one who seemed to have prior experience with any of this. "Any ideas?"

... No, he still had nothing. Although that didn't stop him from checking the room again a little more.

"You'd think there would be another clue somewhere.."

"It probably is, which means it might not have anything to do with the nightmares. They're not really related to Heartless or Nobodies." Xion sighed. So much for hoping something might come to mind.

She took a quick gland around. "Maybe there's something in the other room?"

Oh right. There was another room up here wasn't there. Jack looked around the room but nothing jumped out at him here. "Well, it wouldn't hurt to check out the last room, right?"

He nodded towards the door, "Let's go."

Oh yeah, there was still one more. Hopefully that's exactly where they needed to be.

"Yeah, let's go check that."

That decided, Xion led the way down the hall to the last room. If things were the same as in the waking world, it should be like the room where she'd spoken to Namine. Time to open the door to see.
