BUT WHERE ARE THEY [Open]

[unrecovered]

Who: Anyone who wants to look for keyholes
What: Time to split up and find the mysterious migrating keyholes.
Where: Every World
When: Half an hour after this post
Warnings: Depends on who shows up and what goes down.

[We're gonna skip the meeting; for now, each world has its own subthread. The mods will keep an eye on them and let you know if you find the keyhole and/or drop hints as to its location. No tagging order.]

[A note: Wash will probably have recommended that people stick to searching the worlds they know best. Feel free to utterly disregard his advice.]

More than fashionably late, but can a Xion join in?

For Xion, Twilight Town was home, so of course she would investigate it's missing Keyhole. Today she'd brought Barkley and her new Juggle Pup, Flipper.

The old mansion was one of her first stops, too, but she arrived after the others. Seeing Eraqus already there, she hung back at first. Then Barkley nudged her forward and, well, she had an idea about the answer to Edge's question. "It's where we first found the Keyhole."

Sadly for Edge, the melodrama didn't leave much impact on Eraqus. He was about to answer, when he noticed Xion's arrival, and she answered Edge's question for him. He turned back towards the mansion, and nodded.

"Even if it's not seen now, there may be clues as to where it's gone, or if it's still hidden here," Eraqus said, determined. "We need to find them as soon as possible."

The point wasn't to impress with melodrama. The point was to live it! He shot Xion a charming look by way of hello hat would have been a charming smile if he didn't routinely wear a mask, then turned back to face the mansion -- with another snap of the cape. "I thought it was suspicious. It's so out-of-place it begs to be investigated."

He motioned to it for the benefit of everyone before leading the way to the gates.

Unfortunately for Edge, melodrama tended to go over Xion's head no matter what it's purpose. At most, she was somewhat reminded of others she'd known who'd enjoyed showmanship. She did smile back at him, though, before hurrying to catch up. "We investigated it before; that's when some of the others found the Keyhole."

She hadn't been part of the group, but she'd heard about it later.

Eraqus sighed at the dramatics, but didn't pay them much mind, and walked up to the mansion entrance. It remained as quiet as ever, but that didn't mean there wasn't something going on here. Gengo shuffled along behind him, watching carefully that he didn't accidentally bump into Xion or the other two's Spirits.

"Keep your eyes and ears alert." Not to mention their hearts...if something big was here, they would probably feel it there first.

Xion nodded in response to Eraqus's words of caution. Eyes and ears she could definitely keep alert. Heart was another thing where she was concerned, but all that time spent in the Organization made her fairly alert to sudden appearances made by nasties.

It also meant that by now she was switching into mission mode. Summoning her Keyblade, she looked around as they approached the mansion. "We should probably start at the top floor and work our way down, or start at the basement and work our way up."

The less time they spent backtracking over ground already covered, the better.

"Do we split up to go faster or do we stick together for safety?" Either way worked for him, and he was honestly doing his best to assume that Xion could handle herself. He was more used to girls who supported from the back with magic, rather than those who joined the warriors up front... "Spirit support ought to be enough for trivial Nightmares, but there is a chance we'll find one of the large ones."
