Backwards Town
An odd town that acts as a refuge for those who have lost their worlds. It is rumored that this world was once a city in Ivalice, however it was hit by a falling star and broke. Thus, it is the property of the Solidor family from Ivalice. Larsa Solidor rules currently. Other residents include Evily, Vlair, Yuuka, and their group. They reside in one of the hotels. Sion arrived here after his island disappeared. An overally friendly world. It appears suspended in the sky, thus making it a stop for gummi ships, and the occasional pirate.

"Hey Sion, I'm back!" Said Aurume cheerfully, poking her head through the hotel door and into the room where the keybearer still sat.
"Sorry it took so long, I had to go do something."
She glanced at Milune.
"Still not up, eh? Well, in the meantime, wanna go explore Backwards Town?"

Sion lifted his head when he heard Aurume return. He smiled upon her cheerful voice. "Well," he began, taking one last glance at Milune's sleeping figure. Looking back at the blonde, he instantly perked up, "Alright, sounds like fun." The boy stood up and proceeded to the door, grabbing Aurume's hand and tugging her outside.
ooc: I have to go for a bit, but I'll see if I can get back in about two hours?

(( Ok. ^_^ ))
"Yeeek! Don't break the tour guide!" She said jokingly when he started tugging at her hand.
"Hmm...where should we start? We could go see Evily, or Vlair, or Yuuka, or Larsa, or...hey, maybe there's even sky pirates at the port! They come every now and then to ferry stolen goods and stuff to some of the shopkeepers."
Aurume said, adding things to her list as they popped into her head. She started to pull Sion along with her and broke into a run down the Backwards Town streets.
"The possiblilities are endless, c'mon!"

Sion laughed as his 'guide' started ticking off things to do. At this point, he had to run to keep up with Aurume. "Hey, slow down! One thing at a time," he said, laughing. It was great having her around. Otherwise, he would have been sitting by Milune's bedside all day moping, even though he knew she wouldn't wake up without her heart. The boy shook his head. No, don't be thinking about that now. Just relax and have fun, he told himself.

She stopped in her tracks, giggling.
"Okay, okay!" Aurume' said, holding up her hands as a gesture for peace.
"Well, in that case, where do you want to go first?"
The blonde girl looked to him, intently awaiting his response. Even if Backwards Town was just her station for now,s he still loved the place like it was her home.
It was all...backwards and stuff.
Still, she felt a little bit guilty for leading Sion astray. She wasn't here to help him. She was here to help the Rebellion gain his friend's heart. It didn't show on her face. Aurume had always been a good actress.

There seemed to be so much to do in Backwards Town. But where to start first?"You mentioned an Evily, Vlair, Yuuka, and a Larsa in your list," he said thoughtfully. The boy assumed they would be Aurume's friends. "How about we pay them a visit?" The only person he had met so far in this new town was Aurume, and the only close friends he ever had were Kale and Milune. Perhaps it's time to expand his circle of friends.

“Well, Larsa’s our king-in-training, so he probably won’t be with the others. Unless he snuck out. But the others are probably running errands. Let’s head down to the shops, maybe we’ll meet them on the way.” She said, motioning for him to follow her.
“That’s why this place is so Backwards. We’ve got a kid ruler, and we float in the air, everything’s crazy.

Sion nodded, trailing behind Aurume. This has got to be the wierdest place he had ever seen before. "The name Backwards Town really suits this place."
Evily, clad in her usual white dress, carried a small basket half-filled with fruits, vegetables, and spices. She walked slowly down the semi-crowded streets, looking back every now and then to make sure her companion was following her. "Do you think this is enough, Vlair?" she asked, glancing over her shoulder for the hundreth time.
Vlair quickened her pace so that she was walking by Evily's side. Her gaze fell upon the multitude of food and nodded. "Yeah, it's good. Why are you making a big deal about dinner anyways?" she asked, raising an eyebrow suspiciously.
"I think there's a new guy who came here just yesterday. so I'm going to invite him and Aurume over tonight as a welcome thing." She smiled warmly continued on, humming a happy melody.

“That’s great though.” Aurume said with a grin. She continued walking for a second, then decided that it was indeed time to put the next part of the Rebellion’s plan into action.
“Hey, Sion, I’ve got an idea!” She said excitedly.
“Let’s find a pirate, and ask them if we can ride on their ship. That way, we can look for your friend.”
She was interrupted when she saw Evily and Vlair in the marketplace up ahead.
“But…in the meantime, let’s go introduce you to the group.”

Sion nearly tripped himself when he heard her idea. Really? They could search for Kale? The boy grinned widely, and he promptly placed both his hands on Aurume's shoulders, shaking her slightly with excitement. "You're the best Aurume!" he cheered.
Looking in the same direction, he noticed two people approaching from further down the street. One with long, light-brown braided hair, and another with slightly shorter black hair. He assumed they would be Evily and Vlair.
Vlair's eyes lit up when she saw a familiar young blonde up ahead. Nudging Evily with her elbow, she pointed towards the pair. "Look, there's Aurume!" She took hold of her friend's wrist and tugged her along to meet up with the girl and newfound friend.
Evily nearly dropped her basket when Vlair suddenly jerked her forward. She looked to where the dark-haired woman indicated and smiled when she recognized Aurume. "Hey!" she said happily, waving her hand in the air.

“Hi guys!” Aurume exclaimed.
“Sion, this is Evily…” She said, and pointed to the woman with the braid. She then pointed to the other woman, this one with shorter hair.
“And this is Vlair. We all live here. Hey, guys, you haven’t seen Larsa, have you? I wanted to ask him about the pirates…”

"Hey," Sion said, smiling warmly. The brunette, Evily seemed like a really nice and sunny woman. Vlair was pretty, but she also had a strong air about her. Tough but not threatening. They seemed like very good friends to have around.
Vlair glanced once at Evily before shaking her head. "No, I don't believe I have," she said. In fact, she hadn't seen Larsa for a while now. Though she wasn't worried. "Perhaps he's just been really busy as of late."
Evily nodded her head, agree with her friend's theory. Then, she remembered about her plans later in the evening. "Oh, Aurume. You weren't planning on leaving tonight, were you?" she asked, hoping the girl would say no. If Aurume and Sion got a hold of a ship and left right away, she wouldn't be able to make that welcome dinner.

"Naw, not yet. I just wanted some kind of warning so I could get ready with my bribes. Balthier almost never gives rides..." Aurume said, a little annoyed at the thought of the sky pirate.
"I've got to round up lost of shiny things to sway him...why do you ask?"

Evily smiled, obviously glad of her answer. "Well, I was going to cook up a special dinner tonight to welcome Sion to Backwards Town," she replied, pointing to the basket in her arms. "How about it? Wanna come and celebrate?"
Sion blinked once, twice. A celebration to welcome him? The boy's face lit up instantly, loving the idea of a big, homemade dinner. He could feel his stomach growling already.
