Focus Shift

Anthony was a bit surprised when Kellyn appeared behind them, but let out a huge sigh of relief; at least the tree of them were together now. But then he began to think, 'Where is Miharu and the others then?' He quickly ignored the train of thought, Miharu had wanted to split, so why should he care about them?

"To answer your question, Kellyn, and for the second time, I believe we may be in an Alternative Reality," he said monotonically, "welcome to our paradise!", sarcasm dripping from the comment.

He got up off the ground, dusting his pants off and turning to Harley and Kellyn, "Well now we have two choices,. One," he held up one finger, "we stay here, sleep out in the open tonight then move out in the morning. I have a feeling its not going to rain tonight. Or two," he brought up another finger, "we walk, try and find some sort of civilization or signs thereof."

He took a breath, "Despite spending the whole night up, I feel quite awake, but I'm up for either option. What about you two?"
 
Kellyn looked at Anthony, "This is a wonderful paradise," he joked, "It looked like Hell's Inferno was here." He sat on his knee and started to pet Bliss at least we have our pokemon and each other, except my bag and tools are gone."

Anthony got up off the ground, dusting his pants off. , "Well now we have two choices. One," he said holding up one finger, "we stay here, sleep out in the open tonight then move out in the morning. I have a feeling its not going to rain tonight. Or two," he brought up another finger, "we walk, try and find some sort of civilization or signs thereof."

"I kind of want to go with number two," Kellyn said. "I slept before all this happened and I'm very reluctant to go to sleep after seeing this Earth." He turned to Harley, "Now what do you think we should do?"
 
Miharu nodded thoughtfully. "I agree with Kris; although, since Raike and Josh used Raven and Odessa to get the clothes, we are not really sure what language the people might speak." Miharu glanced over the clothes. The colour were very basic browns and greys. She blinked as she looked carefully, and realized all of the clothing were guy's clothing.

"I hope Raike and Josh knows that the clothes that they are carrying are guy clothes only," she stated dryly. Miharu sighed, deciding to tie her hair up in a ponytail. In the next second, Miharu had a knife in her hand and held up the ponytail with the hand that did not hold the knife. She quickly cut off the ponytail and held up the lock of hair, the knife disappearing after the hair was cut. "It might not do well to try and grab more clothing, so I might as well masquerade as a boy. We can also use part of my hair for fire, or perhaps even sell it at the village. It does depends if we can actually sell it though." She pocketed the lock of hair. Sei nudged at Miharu's leg, not liking that Miharu had to cut her hair.

Miharu shook her head slightly in order for her hair to fall more naturally. Her fairly long hair now reached to the bottom of her earlobe. The hair made her look a bit like a boy; although her facial structure still looked feminine slightly. Miharu petted Sei absentmindedly, wishing she had a mirror on her in order to see how the cut looked.
 
"Who cares where Miharu is? She's just a bìtch and a half who wants her own way all the time. She's probably on her way to see her best friend Giratina and dance her happy ass all the way through Distortion World," Harley crossed her arms, huffed again and turned to Kellyn. "Hi Kellyn."

Ceri growled concerningly, looking at her with worried eyes. Harley waved it off and shook her head. It's not like there was anything wrong with her at the moment save for her wounds from earlier, she was just angry and frustrated. With mostly everything.

"I vote option two," she waved her hand about. "I am tired and I'm sore but I would much rather sleep indoors than outdoors."

Josh looked as Miharu cut her hair, she looked looked a bit more like a guy with her hair cut but if anyone looked for more then a second it would be obvious that she was a girl. Josh thought that maybe wearing the clothes would help, several minutes later after everyone had changed he realized that he had been right, she did look more like a man with the clothes on, but if someone looked long enough she might still be able to be spotted out.

Anthony was happy that the other two wished to travel rather than stay the night, he wasn't very tired and really wanted to get back to their own place quickly. He also laughed to himself at Harley's approach to Miharu, he himself had a little bit of anger towards Miharu for splitting the group, but maybe their split was for their own good? he shook his head, dismissing the thought again, if they were to find each other, then they would, Anthony decided to leave their meeting up to fate. "Okay, now that that is settled, I'm guessing we should head west into the dying sun," inwardly laughing at the pun he had inadvertently made, "unless either of you have a better idea?"

"Oh," he added, "don't worry about the dark, Pitch can conjure a fire within her mouth, it should give us enough light if there is no moon." Anthony looked up into the sky for any sign of the natural satellite. This dystopic world scared him a bit, not that he feared what unknown things would attack them from the dark, but rather because if they didn't succeed, this is probably what their own world would turn out like. At this thought he shuddered, suddenly it felt as if the whole weight of the world fell on his shoulders.
 
Kellyn looked up into the sky too. "I don't got a better idea, so lead the way. Bliss can conjure up the fire in her mouth too." He laughed at Harley's saying about Miharu, but the laughter turned a bit to worry too. Did palkia send the others here too, he thought.
 
-Raike snickered, turning so Miharu couldn't see him.-

"That does look pretty good Miharu, where did you learn to cut hair like that? But yeah, I admit I forgot to tell Raven to look for some women cloths. But we really should find food, unless we plan on going hungry tonight."
 
"If we want food we should go into town and ask if it would be possible for us to work for some food" Josh said. "I can play most any strings instrument, from what i've seen of Miharu she could take a crack a juggling, I don' know what you can do though Raike and Kris" Josh said, "but we could provide entertainment for food, or if that doesn't sound like a good idea we can probably find a farm nearby that would appreciate any manual labor we could provide" Josh continued, "Or" Josh's tone turned quite bitter, "we could steal some food to go with our clothes" he finished.

Miharu gets a sex change...​

-----​

I watched as Miharu cut her hair and put on mens clothing. It looked odd for her to change from woman to man in a matter of minutes.

"If we want food we should go into town and ask if it would be possible for us to work for some food." Josh started, "I can play most any strings instrument, from what i've seen of Miharu she could take a crack a juggling, I don't know what you can do though Raike and Kris..." Josh continued, "But we could provide entertainment for food, or if that doesn't sound like a good idea we can probably find a farm nearby that would appreciate any manual labor we could provide. Or" Josh's tone turned bitter, "We could steal some food to go with our clothes." He finished.

"Oh, I can fly, walk on water and turn water to wine." I replied sarcastically, "But, seriously, i'm not much of a performer. It would be easiest just to steal the food, even if it isn't really the right thing to do." I continued, "But, if it helps us reach our goal quicker, then we would have done more good than harm." I finished.

"We should probably try to remain inconspicuous though." I said, "But no matter what we do, it won't effect history. The almighty time paradox. Gotta love it."

Miharu shook her head to Kris's last statement, while rolling her eyes at Raike's obvious amusement. "I think we might be here for a reason; and because of that reason, I think there might be something that we have to change. I am assuming that this time period has the cloud to deal with as well, due to the dying vegetation." She could even see from hear that the trees looked to be rotting quickly. "Except they are probably at a worst state than our time right now. We probably are going to find our answers, or at least some of them, at this time, although I am not quite sure if we are to help save them. Perhaps we should put in a call through the Aether Realm to see if there are any shifters at this time. As for the food, we should probably try to the legal way at first. If we are not getting adequate enough money for food, then, perhaps, we should steal food. From the clothes, I can tell that we are in the Medieval Ages, and being caught stealing at this time period is punishable by impalement. That would not be fun," she stated the last sentence dryly.
 
Josh thought for a moment, "We need to come up with an explanation for why we are traveling and why we have no money" Josh said, "I would go with an explanation that stated we are cartographers who camped outside of town but were robbed earlier" he suggested, "It would probably be accepted, and if they figure out that some clothes got stolen it might lend to the being robbed story" Josh finished.

OOC: Cartographer is I think a term used to refer to people who made maps, which in the old days was done by mapping the land as the person traveled it, which I thought might make sense.
 
Miharu raised an eyebrow. "Robbed, but we still have our weapons?" She gestured to her sheathe and the other weapons that were noticeable. "Although we could hide them, they might still be able to be noticed and there still might not be a way to hide them anyways."
 
-Raike smirked, before crossing his arms and looking at the others.-
"I don't know about you guys, but from what I remember, from school, people always walked around with their weapons like someone in our time would walk around with a necklace or hat. And I don't think we are supposed to change something, because if we did it would create a time paradox, blah blah blah. But in the event that I am wrong I guess it would be a good idea to see if there were any shifters out there at the moment. Besides, they might have money."
 
Miharu sighed, hearing Raike not getting the issue of being robbed and still having weapons on them. "I am not saying it would be strange that we are carrying weapons, but it would be strange if we were carrying weapons with us after being robbed. People steal food, money, clothes, weapons, and pokemon in this time period. If we come up there, saying that we were robbed and we were still carrying our weapons, they would never believe us."
 
((OOC: Bunny Post XD and these are Alternate peoples ;)))

The sun began rising in the east behind them, Anthony, Harley and Kellyn had been walking all night and still no signs of civilization. They were all tired, hungry and thirsty and tempers were starting to rise as the idea of finding some sort of civilization began to diminish. Harley and Ceri seemed to be wearing it the most, Harley hanging onto Ceri's back and Ceri walking on, looking a little tired. Anthony was on the verge of giving up, Palkia had sent them to a place where they could not survive nor live.

As Anthony conjured up the courage to tell the others that they were hopelessly lost and that they were probably going to die, he noticed a dust cloud gathering to the south of them and within minutes the travelling band were upon them. Anthony waved and yelled to get their attention, not that there was anything to take their attention away from them anyway. Their Tauros drawn cart stopped in front of Harley, Kellyn and Anthony. The driver got out, followed by three other figures, the one in front seemed quite feminine whilst the others were more masculine. It was only when they revealed their faces did Anthony gasp; standing before him were Miharu, Kris, Raike and Josh, but they looked more older and slightly different that the ones they had been travelling with.

The Alternate Miharu drew a sword, as did the Alternate Raike by here side, both their swords just touching Kellyn's throat. The Alternate Miharu spoke up, "finally, we have found you, you traitor!" she spat at Kellyn, "Any last words before you die?"

The Alternate Raike then turned to Anthony and Harley, mouth wide open, "You two, you are dead! How? What?" Alt. Raike was stunned. the Alt. Kris behind them drew back his Bow and the Alt. Josh put his hand to his belt.

"What trick is this, Traitor?" Miharu again spat at Kellyn.

(Spat = no physically spitting, but saying something mean. <hard to explain>)
 
The Alternate Raike then turned to Anthony and Harley, mouth wide open, "You two, you are dead! How? What?" Alt. Raike was stunned. the Alt. Kris behind them drew back his Bow and the Alt. Josh put his hand to his belt.

"What trick is this, Traitor?" Miharu again spat at Kellyn.


Kellyn backed up, he didn't know these people well, even in their original world, but how would he betray them. "What are you talking about," he said as Bliss started to growl. "I barely know you. We met yesterday." His hands started to get sweaty and he wondered if he could get into the Aether realm if he needed to.


Bliss's growl deepened as she looked at the alternate Miharu and Raike. Both of them waited for Harley or Anthony to come to Kellyn's defense.
 
OOC: That is so awesome, i'm guessing Alt. Josh is gonna cut you down the middle with the combat knife? ^_^

IC:

Josh thought about what he had said and then realized he had mis worded it badly, but he didn't feel like arguing for the plan, "All right then, lets just go see if their is any work in the town, even if we don't find any we might learn of recent events so as to get a better grasp on what time period we're in and what we need to do." he said.
 
Anthony pushed Kellyn behind him, stepping in front of the blades, "chill guys, Kellyn hasn't done anything!" His heart was racing a hundred miles an hour, he could see that the blades were sharp and was sure that since he was dead in this world, they wouldn't hesitate killing him.

"He's a dirty Traitor!" she said again, "You, on the other hand, are some conjuration of his!" she said advancing on Anthony.

"Woah, back it up Miharu," Anthony said, "We know nothing, we appeared here yesterday! We have no clue what is going on, so do you mind explaining a bit?" he said, palms open. "Palkia teleported us from our World to yours, think about it, you do have a massive IQ."

Miharu stood frozen on the spot for a minute while she thought, "How do we know you aren't just a trap? The idea is plausible, at least in our world, by you could just as easily be a trap." Anthony sighed, if this Miharu was like the other, than reason wouldn't work, she needed facts. He let out another breath and shifted to the Aether Realm, seeing Miharu and the others follow him there.
 
Miharu shrugged. "Perhaps we should come up with a more adequate cover story first. Also, since I am masquerading as a boy, perhaps I should also change my name...Michio. My name is now Michio."

Michio glanced around, noticing that the majority had dark coloured hair; Raike, Josh, and himself, but Kris had dirty blondish hair. He also noticed that Josh and Kris both had brown eyes, although they were both a slightly different colour. "Since we all do not look similar, it would be quite strange if we were traveling together...what kind of cover story can we use...? We cannot really be family, we could be workmates, but there might be some strangeness in that..." Michio blinked, having an epiphany. "We could be mercenaries. Do 'missions' for money or that sort of thing."
