Ginz had liked the experience of getting there with the help of Sev. She knew it was unlike like that she'd travel like that again, so she enyoued it all she could. It was too short.
She looked around Tabloid Town, expecting to see something or someone (the ninja, perhaps?) waiting for them, but the place looked like usual. It just didn't feel like usual. Ginz decided to look around and see if she could find something unusual and hope that Ikkin or someone else got information from others.
She had only walked a short distance when she found Kat, inspecting the place with a spyglass. It seems someone else had thought of searching for clues.
"Hey Kat! When did you become a detective?" She smiled at her. She wanted to be in a good mood and not to worry about all the suspicious events. It was hard, but she would try.

"Rider?" she asked. "Do you have any idea what's going on here?" [glow=red,2,300]"None whatsoever." ((And this, my dear RPers, is what we call a rut! Where are the ninja?))[/glow]

"Well, even if you don't have an idea do you at least have orders Cap'tn?" Keng asked Rider, hoping to get out of chores for a little while longer. "Scout around? Stick togeather? Hold tight? Or should we just go sharpen our blades?
((*tries to climb out of rut*))

The air a few feet away from the group (Kat, Ikkin, Rider, Ginz, etc.) shimmered, and Fj0rd stepped out of it.
"Good," she said. "I'm glad you could all make it. Where are the Knights?"

"Mind telling us what this is about?" Ikkin asked Fj0rd. "Or, are you just going to make us all wait until the Knights get here?"
When the ninja seemed disinclined to respond, Ikkin continued. "You might be waiting a while, then. I had Sev check on the Knights a short while ago, and apparently Shino told them that he'd handle the situation by himself. I have no idea why he'd want to do that, but since he's one of the highest-ranked knights, I imagine many of the other knights will listen to him. I'm just glad I received my invitation as a Mage, and Sev got one as a Pirate... otherwise, I never would have even known anything was happening."

Ginz turned around to see Fj0rd had arrived. She got closer, as she wanted to hear the conversation. She let Ikkin do the talking, but listened with attention.

Or should we just go sharpen our blades? ((*tries to climb out of rut*)) [glow=red,2,300]"Stick together and keep your wits about you." Fj0rd teleported before the group. Rider's eyes flashed upwards, and met the sight of the three faerie Meepits. She fingered something in her pocket, and her eyes locked on Fj0rd's. All this in as much time as it takes to blink. "I'm glad you could finally make it as well, Fj0rd," Rider said in her best syrup-sweet voice. "Now what would be so important as to interrupt my game of RCP?" [/glow]

"It would be better if everyone were here," Fj0rd said mildly, appearing to disregard the rest of Ikkin's monologue. She looked around, made a disapproving noise when she saw there were no chairs in the immediate vicinity, and perched instead on a crate sitting nearby.
((edit: >O How dare you post while I'm typing. I must append it.))
"As I said. Let us wait for the Knights." Fj0rd raised her eyebrows slightly, watching Rider.

What a shame, thought Shadow disappointedly. That we should all have to wait for a single person in order to satisfy our dread curiosity.
Shadow emerged from Ikkin's shadow, taking on her swirling shadow-mist form.
"Fj0rd," she said tersely. "The majority of us are here. Tell us what you mean to say or allow us to go back to our peaceful existence. The fact that you have called the pirates here as well has aroused suspicion and I would not stay if this were to cause another conflict."
Shadow bowed respectfully but did not return to Ikkin's shadow. Her eyes merely glowed a little brighter against her misty form, her fingers rested a little closer to one of her many poisoned daggers.

Fj0rd smiled. "I did not call the pirates here. I asked them--might I add, very politely--where they were going, and they were kind enough to respond. One might say it was pure coincidence we met. Yet here we all are, regardless." She shrugged.
"In any case, I will to wait for the others to arrive. You may leave if you wish. There is nothing keeping you here, you know, just as there was nothing which made you come."

[shadow=purple,left,300]"Ninja. Typical of them," said Kat, shrugging. She focused her spyglass upward before telling Ginz, "Nah, I can feel something's amiss. I know strange auras when I feel them. And this one seems like...well, it's not pure magic."
As she squinted through her spyglass again, she saw the air shimmer briefly and found herself staring at the face of Fj0rd.
"Why do you come alone?" asked Kat curiously. "Where are your troops? And if you wait till everyone else comes, we'll all start gathering cobwebs and dust. We'll fill in everyone else."[/shadow]

[glow=red,2,300]"Fj0rd is right," Rider said, choking on the words. "We shall wait for the knights."
Curse you, Fj0rd-san, if you have anything up those black sleeves...[/glow]

"What is this," Fj0rd said, "Twenty Questions?" She smiled faintly. "You must be truly intrigued to be so impatient. Or is that you have somewhere--better--to be?"
((edit: Gah. Ninja'd by a pirate.))
She nodded at Rider. "Thank you."
