Who: Ray, anyone who wants to join
What: Ray's feeling kind of discontent, so she takes a walk.
When: Monday, December 28th
Where: through the town and the Dark Depths

Ray wandered about Radiant Garden, wrapped in at least two layers of clothing, complete with shiny new scarf. She was hugging herself tightly in the cold as she walked, looking around at all the snow without really seeing it. Before she realized where she was going, she found herself at the Crystal Fissure and rushed through, staring at the ground with determination not to relive unpleasant memories.

She finally stopped when she reached the Dark Depths, where she looked down at the Maw. Her fear of heights had mostly dissipated upon learning to glide, allowing her to venture close to the edge of the cliff. There were Heartless writhing around below, dark blots upon blankets of white. She stared at them for a while, thinking about everything that had happened lately. It hadn't been a bad Christmas - it was her first white Christmas ever, and she'd been quite excited about that - but her high spirits had vanished again in the few following days, or she'd probably be back at home now, having hot chocolate with Rox and maybe Ari, if she decided to visit. But, well, things didn't always go as planned.

A good portion of this had to do with not knowing what to do with herself. Pretty much all she was good for since becoming a refugee was fighting, and frankly she'd had enough of that for the time being, even if she got some weird sort of elation from it. But the fact was that that was all she really did on this world anymore, and it didn't even really do much for the state of things. She'd go to Twilight Town, but she was just a baker there; they didn't need graphic designers or anything. She'd go back to Port Royal, but the crew already had suspicions about her, and that might lead to a mutiny if Ari wasn't around too - and Ray didn't want to force her to go somewhere. And regardless of whether she had family there or not, she was definitely not going back to Earth.

Maybe... Maybe it was time for an adventure. She spared a glance at her bracelet, poking out from under her sleeve. She could easily go wherever she wanted and explore the multiverse. It wasn't like they were lacking in fire or lightning mages, anyway. The refugees had plenty of those around. They didn't really need her to fight with them. Hell, maybe she'd even run into Cheryle along the way.

Pushing some snow out of the way, Ray cleared a spot and sat with one her legs dangling over the edge, the other pulled up to her chest for her chin to rest on. It was, of course, freezing, and her shivering got all the more visible, but she tried to ignore it, telling herself that she could just start a fire if she got too cold. But for now, she just grabbed a handful of snow, packed it tightly, and tossed it aimlessly. She watched it arc down, a small smile on her face, before doing it again. This time, it had hit a Heartless. She laughed as it stumbled and threw another. She was feeling a little better already.

He grimaced, just pouring more magic into the attack, letting the fire magic envelope the increased amount of water. The moment the two elements hit, there was a hissing noise as the water vaporized, and a large burst of steam filled the air between the two of them, completely obscuring the view between the two of them.

In the middle of the steam cloud, the lightning magic paused between the two of them and immediately set off a light show above the snow.

Josiah paused, blinked, and then began laughing. "Nice."

Ray made a face - that was most certainly not what she was aiming for. She shifted her weight slightly. Keeping one hand holding onto the unmoving magic, she moved the other to throw one of her own bolts of lightning at him.
