Darius's eyes widened as they reached Halloween Town. White seemed to lose control of the motorcycle he used and before he knew it, they were both careening out of control! "W-WATCH OUT!" he shouted but it had been too late. No matter what White tried to do, the bike didn't seem to correct itself.
Next thing he knew, the pair of them collided with something and ended up airborne. Landing in a heap, Darius cursed. Painfully, he pushed himself up off the ground and looked around. "White? White!" he called.
Staggering to his feet, he clutched his sore arm and found the bike. It was, somehow, still in one piece. Luckily, they didn't hit whatever they did hard enough or they would be dead. Looking around, he soon found White about ten feet away from where the bicycle was.
"White!" Hurrying over, Darius knelt beside where White had landed. "You alright?" he asked him. Darius had yet to really take a look at the area they landed in. After all, he was more preoccupied with his new friend's condition.

White was just fine. But that didn't mean his pride wasn't hurt. "I swear this bike is out to kill me." He said to Darius when he joined him. Looking over to his bike he was glad it was in one piece this time. It would have sucked if he had totaled it again. Most likely there would be someone who could repair it in this world if he needed it. But those kind of repairs were expensive. He didn't have that much money.
Looking around he took his first look at this place that they called Halloween Town. He had never been on this world before. To him it seemed dark and gloomy. They seemed to be in some sort of back yard. In fact White noticed a dog house. Just what was a dog house doing here?! Especially when their was no house in front of it!
Crossing his arms he checked his kantana. It wasn't broken or anything, that was good. "Wonder what were supposed to do here. The note said to come here. It failed to mention anything about what we should do once we got here."
Deciding it might be best to just leave the bike here he turned to Darius. "Let's see if we can find someone who can find us some place to stay. This world seems a bit more advanced then Never Land. Thankfully at that." With that he walked towards the only exit he saw. He figured Darius would be right behind him,
----------------------------- Mr. Thomas was the innkeeper of the Sleeping Ghost, the only human inn of Halloween Town. And it was utterly busy. He had more people coming and going this last week then the entire year. Half of that was because of the festival. The crowd from that wasn't anything new. But the death of a keyblade master had brought the police of the town to investigate.
Honestly all of this was a bit annoying. He had to tend to their needs, close half of his rooms, and at the same time keep the humans who were here till the end of the festival happy. It was quite annoying. "I did not come back to life to wait on people like some servant." Mr. Thomas thought to himself.
Almost immediately another voice sounded his head. "You don't have much of a choice in the matter Mr. Thomas. Mother made you swear you'd protect me till I die." Mr. Thomas didn't freak out like a normal person would if a voice suddenly spoke to you inside your head. This was nothing new for Mr. Thomas. He was quite use to the telepathic messages between himself and his Master.
Mr. Thomas had acted as innkeeper here for ten years now. Ever since the death of Mistress Violet. She had been the one who brought him back to life, and infused the power of a crystal into him as well. With that he had become more then just a dead skeleton. He had gained his powers and forms once more.
His name had not always been Mr. Thomas. That name had changed with his rebirth. And so his form had changed as well. At the moment he was a mummy. But as soon as they left this world that form would need to be changed as well. Currently his young master was in her room practicing her magic. She was preparing. For what... was confusing.
Mr. Thomas had the gift of prophecy. At random times he was gifted with certain images of the future. However more often enough they were so confusing that he could make no sense of them. His young master though was clinging onto a set of images that had recently plagued Mr. Thomas.
Said images were as follows: two shadowed figures striking down a possessed Jack Skelington. An image of Mr. Thomas and his young master reaching out their hands to said shadows. Shadows and their duo battle various foes in other worlds. Each image was different but whoever these shadows were, they were about to join them.
Mr. Thomas handed a filled drink to a customer. He had been currently serving the man. There was one image though that bothered Mr. Thomas. And that was of the young master bleeding from a hole in her head. He had not shared that image with the young master. But he would be annihilated before he let her die.

Darius, watching White get up, sighed to himself. The two of them came out of the crash landing alive and in one piece. That was good. Darius wasn't sure what to do here if either of them had gotten severely wounded. Of course, he'd try to heal either one of them but his healing powers only went so far.
Now, finally taking in their surroundings, Darius raised an eyebrow. "Well, if this isn't the most gloomiest place I've ever been to?!" he stated, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. The place looked rather depressing. On top of it all, it held that eerie feel to it. Maybe because of how gloomy the place looked? Darius wasn't sure but he knew it made him a tad uneasy. Unlike Ivory before him, Darius was more accepting of the world.
He looked back over at White finally when he spoke after inspecting the odd looking doghouse nearby. "I guess all we can do is explore. Maybe we'll find something then?" he replied with a shrug. Darius hadn't any more clues than what White had. If Ivory was really here, Darius had a feeling that she would be very uneasy...maybe even scared here.
Blinking, he was torn out of his thoughts about his twin sister by the sound of White's voice again. Glancing over at him, he heard him state that they should probably find someone here to lead them to an inn for now.
"That's a great idea! Just hope it's not as depressing as the place outside." With that, Darius followed White.

The depressing just continued when they entered the Town Square. While it was somewhat "festive" dressed up with streamers, floating jack-o-lanterns, it still remained gloomy. The town square was filled with people coming and going. People of course meant more then just "humans."
White could only stare as a skeleton walked next to a mummy and a very odd looking dog. There were some humans mixed in, but the majority of them were creatures that were odd to be alive. "For some reason I have a feeling that humans are not the dominant race here."
You could plainly see why this place was called "Halloween Town". White had no idea though where to find an inn. He decided his best bet would be to ask a passerby. "I'ma ask one of them if they know where an inn is!" He told Darius before running up to a short man with vampire teeth.
"Do you perhaps happen to know where the inn is?
The short vampire looked him up and down. "You be wantin the Sleepin Ghost. Tis down that road there." The vampire pointed to a road down the way. The road was filled with houses and large buildings. "Happy fest." He said to him before walking away.
Returning to Darius he said. "Down the street. Why don't you lead the way." White pointed to the street he spoke of.

The further they got into the town square, Darius couldn't help but stare at those passing them by. There were normal people like them, dressed in costume but then there were...beings he really couldn't describe. They seemed dead yet they were up and walking about. Just what were they? Were they maybe the locals of this strange, depressing world? Or did they die and not know it?
"Did we...die?" he said to White, looking around uncertainly. As if to confirm it, he pinched himself. "Ouch! Well, guess we're not but...they look it."
Hearing White's words about having a feeling the dominant race wasn't human, Darius nodded in agreement. "You could say that again."
He watched as White decided that he'd ask someone about an inn. Seeing him approach a short figure with vampire fangs, Darius listened to them converse. An inn was further toward the town, it seemed. By the time White came back over, Darius nodded. "I guess that would be more of a logical place to put one."
When White suggested he lead the way, Darius furrowed his brows at him questioningly. Why did he want him to lead the way? Oh well, he wasn't going to argue. "Um...okay, if you want then." With that, Darius started heading down the street in the direction White had pointed out.

White let Darius take the lead and spent some time really taking in the place. This way he really didn't have to worry about where they were going. It was a bit selfish on White's part but he wasn't trying to be a leader. Naturally he had a leader's personality, but that didn't mean he always wanted the part.
So he settled for taking in more of the landscape. As they continue their walk down the street, White noticed that more and more humans were gathered around this area. In addition he noticed some very odd festivities occurring. For one there seemed to be some sort of carnival that people were attending in the distance.
And now that he thought about it, White remembered a large platform in the main area, but no one had been standing on it. He wondered just what it was for. "I wonder what "festival" their celebrating." He said aloud to himself.
As they passed another building, White noticed a sign that said "Happy Halloween". Perhaps it was their national holiday. That would make sense why they were celebrating it. After all this place was called Halloween Town.
White almost ran into Darius when they suddenly came to a stop. If he had said something he must not have heard it. It seemed that they had arrived at their destination. They were in front of a three story building made of wood for the most part. On the board above the door were the words "The Sleeping Ghost"
Even as he read it, a couple of chatting women walked out. They gave the two of them a wave as they headed out into the town. "Let's just hope they have some rooms left. I wonder if they normally have this many people here." With that he headed inside.

Darius certainly noticed the carnival taking place. Just what in the world were these beings celebrating? It was clear they stumbled upon the place during some kind of yearly celebration or something. What it was, he didn't know until White pointed out the same question. The two of them finally came upon a sign saying 'Happy Halloween'.
"Well, that answers that."
Finally coming upon the inn that was mentioned, Darius stopped to examine it. As he did so, he glanced over his shoulder hearing White's scuffled footsteps. "Found the place!" he told him.
Looking back toward the inn, some women came strolling out of the building talking amongst themselves. Darius wondered why they waved at them as they passed but politely returned it. Hearing White's words, Darius nodded. "I hope so too. Wouldn't want to sleep outside in a place like this. No telling what we'd find out here."
With that, Darius headed inside after White. As he did so, he looked around curiously. He hadn't witnessed Halloween much like the people here were doing. Ever since his parents had died, he and Ivory had been raised by the orphanage back in their home world. "Place seems pretty busy."

Busy was right! To White it seemed like they walked right into some sort of resturant. There were people crowded around tables talking, eating, drinking, and just plain being merry. No one even seemed to notice the two newcomers.
Glancing around the room, White laid eyes on the man behind a bar counter. In addition to liquor there was a set of what was obviously room keys. The man though was no man at all. He was a mummy! The only spot unwrapped were its eyes, which were dark green in color, and a missing strap around its decayed mouth. It was actually a very fearsome looking creature.
"Guess that's who we ask about the room. This place is way to creepy." The last comment was more to himself then to Darius. Taking the lead, he walked over to the mummy. He was busy cleaning a glass with a towel when they walked over.
"What can I do for you two?" He asked nonchalantly.
White didn't hesitate to speak up. "Were looking for a couple of rooms if possible."
The mummy shook his head. "Were out of single rooms. All I got are doubles. And I can't give you each a double to yourself. Since tomorrows the last day of the fest were expecting more people tonight and I need to get as many people in a room as possible."
Well that was a bummer. White didn't mind sharing a room with Darius, but he had no idea what Darius felt of it. Since they really had no other choice, White just nodded. What else could they do? "Alright we'll take one."
The mummy turned around and grabbed a key that read 105 on it. "Here's the room key. It's 70 munny a night and that includes breakfast and dinner. Room is yours so long as you guys can keep payin." White reached into his pocket and pulled out 70 munny and handed it to the man. He figured if they were here for another night Darius could pick it up.
After getting the key he walked towards the hallway. As he did he turned to Darius. "Next time you pay for the inn." He told him with a smile.
---------------------------------
While the two teens walked towards the door that would lead them to the rooms, a man in a hooded cloak stood alone at a table in the corner. Since his hood was pulled up one really couldn't see who this man was or what he looked like. One arm rested on the table while another clutched a cup.
Raising the cup he brought its steaming liquid up to his mouth. The man took in a whiff with his nose before opening his mouth to blow on the steaming liquid. However the chill that came out of his mouth was beyond something a mere human might of been able to do. In fact as he blew on the liquid the cup and the liquid froze in a layer of ice.
The man sighed and placed the frozen cup on the table before standing. Making his way unseen in the crowd he exited the Sleeping Ghost. When he touched the door handle it froze when his skin touched it. That didn't mean anything to him though as he simply pushed the door open and exited.
Standing in front of the inn, he pulled off the hood of his cloak to reveal a very pale man with blue spiked hair. His eyes were as blue as the sky and lips purple as if it were zero degrees outside. His name was Jack Frost. And he had come to turn Halloween Town into a Winter Wonderland.

Darius couldn't help but stare at the receptionist once he finally spotted him. The guy was a mummy but that didn't make him any less intimidating knowing what he was. Darius had never seen one before so it was no wonder that he'd be staring at him. When White spoke, Darius barely even nodded in response as he kept his eyes on the mummy. Honestly, he wasn't sure if he would ever get used to this world. Ivory would've had a heart attack if she got stuck here.
He almost gave a start when the thing actually spoke to them when they walked up to him. 'Get yourself together, Darius!' he told himself. Regaining his composure, he listened in as White exchanged words with the undead inn keeper.
According to the mummy, he didn't have any single rooms and only doubles. Darius, unlike White, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at that. Right now, he was sort of too tired to really register anything. After what they went through in Neverland and their crashing, he was a bit tired.
By the time they got their room, Darius was about to rummage through his pockets to get some munny. However, White beat him to it claiming that next time, it was Darius's turn to pay. "You know, I was in the process of doing so or at least paying half."
The two of them walked off down the hall, Darius hadn't even noticed the figure in the hood as they went. "Thanks though, White. Owe you one, man...Still find it hard to believe if Ivory would be in a place like this though."

White nodded at Darius's comment. It was hard to imagine anyone wanting to be in a place like this in all reality. But White didn't want to voice that aloud. Not when someone might hear them. He didn't want to offend anyone. He was just getting used to this "strange" town was all. And that wasn't going to happen in a matter of moments. It would take a little time.
When they got to the room, White found it satisfactory. It was normal enough at least. No creepy ghosts or coffins or anything like that. "At least the room's normal." He said. Just where were they going to find information about Darius's sister?
Sighing, White lunged onto one of the beds. "I have no idea where to begin to find someone in this place." Maybe Darius would have an idea.

Once they got to their room, Darius looked about in surprise. Well, the rooms were definitely normal in appearance. Was it because this place had to accommodate for other races? That could easily be the case. In a way, Darius was glad for it.
Walking in, he took in the sight of the place. Nothing at all seemed strange. He could find himself relaxing now as he turned to White, who began to talk again.
Before he even spoke, White had leapt onto one of the beds. "I guess we could ask around. Someone who knows the ins and outs of this place. Maybe that inn keeper will know something? It's not like my sister and I are that different, being fraternal twins."
Of course, this was all mere theory. Darius wasn't sure how long it would take to find information on his twin. He hoped it would be soon though. The idea of seeing his sister again got him pumped up a bit. Maybe for sure, he'd find her this time!

White liked the idea of asking about the inn keeper. Since he was a local he would probably have a good amount of information about the goings on in the world. Of course they would have to ask the right questions. "I think we should go over what we know first. Then once we figure out what we need to find out we can go ask the inn keeper."
But the question was... what did they know. "We both have different objectives. Your trying to find your sister and I'm trying to find that committee. However it seems that your sister somehow got involved with the committee. Or maybe it has something to do with that girl? Maybe she met your sister somehow?" In all reality White had no idea what her involvement in this was.
The girl they had met before hadn't taken the time to elaborate on anything before she left. "I think we should ask two questions. First if they saw someone who matched her description. She sent us here so maybe she is here. At the same time we should ask about your sister too. I don't know what she looks like so you should handle that question." That was all he had for the first questions.
"Secondly we should ask after any Keblade Masters. If one was here they could tell us more about this committee. Maybe even where to find them. And I think it would be good to ask after any strange looking people. These people seem to work in the shadows. If something weird has been going on in this fest I bet theirs a chance they are behind it."
That was all the ideas he had. If Darius had any sort of ideas, White was all ears for them.

Darius agreed that they should discuss what they know before running about asking questions. The last thing they needed to do was miscommunicate and end up somewhere weird. He listened as White discussed what their objectives were. Honestly, if Darius was searching for his sister, he was looking for this committee as well since the girl from it knew something about Ivory. How, he wasn't sure but he had to find her in order to get more information on his sister.
"Right, that girl knows something about her...that's for sure. How though, I don't know but I hope she's alright...my sister, that is." The last thing he wanted to find out was that she was dead. Ivory, after all, was his remaining family member and the weaker out of the two personality wise. It was easy for her to accidentally get caught up in a sticky situation like that committee.
When White suggested the kind of questions they should ask, Darius nodded. "It's not hard to figure out what my sister looks like. She has the same hair color and eye color as me. It's just, she's obviously a girl and I'm not."
Everything White came up with, Darius was perfectly fine with. They were the kind of questions he'd ask if he had known about the keyblade weilders and the strange activity. "Um...how would we know which kind of strange activity though? In case you've noticed...this place itself isn't exactly what you'd call normal."

White understood where Darius was coming form. "Well I don't think we would no. But maybe the local town's people would. That's what I'm hoping for anyway." White didn't trust his own skills to compare what was weird for this world compared what was weird to them. In all honesty everything seemed weird at the moment. This whole town was right out of a horror story.
Climbing off the bed he stretched his arms. "Let's head to the common room. We mine as well start with the inn keeper. Maybe he can give us some other people to ask about. Besides he seems the most friendliest to humans on this strange world."
Picking up his kantana, he strapped it to his back. He figured it would best to be ready for anything. Who knew what danger they might find in this strange world. "You ready?" White asked.
-------------------------
In the basement of the Sleeping Ghost, a girl of thirteen stood hurdled over a desk. The room she lived in was the size of most of the rooms of the inn. The only difference was that her room was very lived in. Her bed was made and laid against the back of the room. Besides for the made bed though, the rest of the room was a living mess.
There were plenty of clothes crowded around the room and a table that was cluttered with papers, bottles of liquids, and strange looking contraptions. Everything had a sort of haunting look that went in line with every citizen of Halloween Town. However the girl who stood by the table was very human.
Dressed in blue shorts and a black tunic her short cut hair could have passed her off as a boy from behind. Her skin was an olive color and eyes the color of green emeralds. There were black bags under her eyelids, a result from staying up since the day before.
She was a skinny thing with a small hint of muscle on her bones, but no fat. In one hand she held a clear vial with a green liquid inside. She tilted the vial, pouring a drop of the liquid into another vial that held a deep black liquid inside. When the green liquid touched the black, a poof of smoke sizzled from the black liquid.
A smile crossed her face as she slowly placed the vial back on the table. Picking up the black liquid she very carefully walked over to an opened chest in the other corner of the room. When she walked over to it, she looked inside it. The set of bones that sat in that chest seemed to call to her.
Slowly, the girl began to pour the liquid onto the bones. "Be carefully."[/color] A voice, not her own, inside her head said. The girl pushed the voice back ignoring it. She knew she had to be careful. She didn't need Mr. Thomas to tell her that.
As the last of the liquid poured onto the bones a rattling sound came from them. The sound grew louder and louder until the girl was forced to take a step back. The skeleton rose with new life. The girl watched with wide eyes as muscle and skin seemed to grow form the bones until a naked man stood in front of her.
Well he wasn't a man exactly. He was part man, part beast. Part tiger to be in fact. The man's hands were sharpened like claws, his eyes yellow and slanted, his teeth all razor sharp, his spine more flexible, and finally his body was filled with muscle. The girl smiled at the creature. "Welcome back Mar...."
The girl never got to finish her sentence as she felt a psychological pull from the creature. It was trying to break her control over it. She had expected it, but not for it to be as powerful as it was. The creature stepped forward towards her threateningly. The only thing that prevented a full frontal assault was that she was sending waves of power against the creatures mind.
Swearing aloud her eyes squinted as she tried to focus. The creature was much more powerful then her abilities called for. She hadn't used enough of her blood for control of the creature. She had spent weeks bleeding herself for the necessary amount that the spell needed. And it still wasn't enough!
There was a feeling of worry from Mr. Thomas, but she forced that to the back of her mind. She had to keep focus! Otherwise the creature would tear her guts out! She continued the psychological battle, but it was not going her way. She had no choice. She couldn't stand against it much longer!
Letting go of the control, the creatures head snapped up as he raced towards her. The girl brought up her hands and dark energy shot from them. As they collided with the undead creature it's skin and muscles began to wither away. Just as it was about to reach her it turned into a skeleton. The creature dropped to the floor a skeleton once more.
All of that hard work for nothing! Arya sighed. She was exhausted! The girl just made it to her bed. Soon as her head hit the bed she fell asleep. She knew she was going to hear about this later from Mr. Thomas, the inn keeper.

Darius listened to what White had to say. Like him, he didn't really know how to ask about any strange activity. Maybe, if they're lucky, the locals will just come out with it instead of them having to ask. After all, to them strange was normal here for the locals. None would understand what Darius and White meant by their idea of strange. "Guess you're right."
When White climbed off the bed and stretched, Darius listened to what he was saying. With a nod, Darius agreed that heading off now would be a good idea. Better to get some answers now before they'd have to hit the hay later.
"I don't know but as long as we get some answers before hitting the hay."
He blinked when White asked if he were ready. "Of course I'm ready. Ready for anything!" he stated. With that, Darius headed out into the hallway. He had no clue as to what was taking place down in the basement of the inn. He wasn't even aware of the things that were to take place in this world. All he knew was something pertaining to his sister lay here somewhere. The problem was actually finding the trace.

White followed Darius into the hallway and down to the common room. It was just as lively as before. Regular customers were going in and out of the inn while others relaxed in the common lounge. Some sipped bowls of soup while a very "skeleton" looking band played on a small stage. And they were literally just that, skeletons.
"That's new." White made the comment in respect for the dead looking band. The mummy that was the inn keeper was busy talking to a couple of customers. "Darius why don't you start with the inn keeper. I'm going to go talk to some of the maids. Maybe they might know something about strange events."
White figured they would make the best of their time by splitting up. Leaving Darius to head over to the mummy, he went over to some of the servers. They were a mix of humans and other creatures, like were-wolfs and other weres.
He started with one of the serving girls. She was a pretty thing, probably seventeen. Dressed in a white shirt and a skirt, White noticed the odd cat tail running from between her skirt, and the odd whiskers on her face. Definitely a were-cat. But boy was she pretty! White couldn't help but stare.
When she came over to him though he snapped inappropriate thoughts out of his mind. He had a job to do. "Excuse me. I've heard some talk of some strange events going on from some of the other locals here. I'm a bit of a thrill seeker and I'm wondering if you heard anything about them?"
The girl stared at the sealing in thought. "Are you talking about the abandoned mansion? There's always weird things going on there. Jack's blocked the way though, so no one else goes there."
That was a great place to start! White smiled. "Thanks!" She gave him a nod and a smile before walking away.

Darius took a good look at their surroundings. Just as before, the lobby area was packed. There were maids tending to whatever needs the customers had. The Inn Keeper appeared to be busy talking to a couple of customers. There was bound to be someone here that might know information on his twin sister. If she had stayed, there was a chance she might've come to this inn before.
Taking a glance at what White was talking about, Darius gave a nod in agreement. "Definitely haven't seen that before." In fact, it was disturbing in a way to see and yet, not quite.
He looked back over at White when he suggested that Darius should talk to the inn keeper while he spoke to the servants. Not thinking anything of it, since he was focused on their objectives, Darius nodded. "Alright, I'll take care of the inn keeper then." With that, he turned away from White and headed up to the service desk. While the inn keeper was busy speaking with the other two customers, Darius patiently waited for him to finish. He didn't need to start any waves by being rude.
While he waited, Darius's eyes scanned the room. He saw White talking to what looked to be a seventeen year old girl with a cat tail and ears. It looked like she also had whiskers. Darius couldn't help but pass her a glance of mere curiosity. Unlike White, his thoughts never went toward anything else other than the fact she had a tail and ears before his eyes wandered back toward the desk and inn keeper.
Seeing as he was finished, Darius approached the desk finally. "Um, excuse me...sir?" he inquired. It was hard for him to keep a straight face on even now. It wasn't easy to get over the other's appearance but once he would talk, Darius was sure he'd get over it soon. "I've a question. Have you happened to notice a girl with long, black hair and pale blue eyes? No taller than say...around five feet and no older than eighteen? Goes by the name Ivory?" he asked him.

The look that Mr. Thomas gave Darius said his thoughts. He looked at Darius as if he was an idiot. "Sorry sir. But I've been seeing a lot of people this last past week. In fact I can say that at least five different people could possibly fit that description that I can remember. And of course there are those I can't remember."
Mr. Thomas wasn't trying to be mean to the kid, but he was trying to make him realize that he wasn't really paying attention to that sort of thing. Besides the description that Darius said wasn't too descriptive. "Is there anything special about this... Ivory that you might remember?" He asked the stranger.
As he posed the question, Mr. Thomas turned to a man who had just walked up to his bar. Mr. Thomas reached under the table and pulled out a bottle of red wine and poured it into a glass. Handing it to the man, he took the munny he left on the counter and added it to the jar. Mr. Thomas was also the bartender as well as the inn keeper.
While the stranger was about to answer, his companion from before joined him after talking to one of his servers. "Better keep my eyes on this one. I don't want any of my girls falling for these teens." Mr. Thomas had seen the exact kind of look that White had given his serving girl. And he was not about to let "that" happen.
White turned to Darius and asked, "Any luck?"

Darius sighed when the inn keeper answered him. He should've known that the guy wouldn't be paying too much attention to those that came and went. There were far too many people as it is to keep track of. Why didn't he think of this before? Now, he just looked rather stupid talking to the inn keeper. Bringing a palm to his forehead, slapping it, Darius felt like a total idiot. Well, it had been worth a shot.
The inn keeper went on to ask him if there had been anything special that he remembered about Ivory. Well, as far as he knew it, the only other things special about Ivory was the fact she wore armor like he did and had a black dragon wandering around after her now and then.
As he went through what was special about his twin in his head, he watched as the inn keeper filled someone's glass full of some kind of beverage. Judging by the color, it looked to be some sort of wine.
"Well, Ivory is my twin sister...we're fraternal twins. She is sometimes seen wearing a black dragon-like armor? Sometimes a large dog sized dragon, black in color, follows her around? Has a passive personality? Probably looked fearful if she came here?" Poor Darius was just tossing things out hoping for some kind of trace. If not, he would just ask for the other things White wanted and try to not feel disappointed.
"...Sorry to bombard you with so many questions. My friend and I are searching for her while searching for anything odd. There's a committee we're trying to find and think my sister's with them. Have you seen any keyblade wielders in the past few days?" He really had no idea what White was doing in the mean time, his back was turned to him so he wasn't aware of Mr. Thomas's first impression of them. Darius, where he was into women, wasn't the type to go skirt chasing. He was too focused on trying to find his sister too.
He looked over his shoulder at White when he suddenly arrived. "Hm? No, still in the process of asking questions. You?" he inquired.

White only grinned in response to Darius at first. "I got a lead from one of the servers, but I don't know if it will pan out. What has our friendly inn keeper had to say?" He said, almost as if the inn keeper wasn't there.
The inn keeper had poured another customer a drink when White had answered Darius, so he had not heard the quick conversation between the two. When he returned he turned to Darius to answer his question. "Well dragons aren't a thing you'd normally see in this kind of place. I haven't sure as hell seen any around my inn. But if someone did, they are likely not to forget."
"As for a committee I don't know about that. If your looking for a keyblader though you might want to speak to Gerard. He's a keyblade wielder, but no one has seen him since the first day he checked in. He's vanished." Of course Gerard was dead, killed by Smiles. But no one knew that. Nor who Smiles even was.
"What about the haunted mansion. One of the servers said that some strange things have been going on?"
The inn keeper's eyes narrowed. "Now you don't want to go there. There's a reason its blocked off. Strange things have been seen there. Its supposed to be abandoned but its not. Best to stay away. Besides Jack has his dog guarding it."
White shot Darius a look. They had to check it out. It was the only real lead they had. There had to be something going on there. How they were going to get by this "Jack" person's dog though, he didn't know.
He looked over to Darius to see if he had anything he wanted to add.
