(My dad is on a trip for work, and the kids were all sad before I offered we have an invisible dad, one of my characters. I let them choose, and, you guessed it, they chose Austyn. I don't think they properly understand how childish and completely irresponsible Austyn can be.)

Churrio dutifully teleports everyone to Ritkle, the first place that popped into her head. She looks around and studies it. "I think I missed where we were supposed to go."

Austyn pops to himself in a minutes, shaken with the best death experience. The first thing he said, was if he could join their game. "Is it Nine? Golf? Lucky duck? Go fish?" He lists a few more card games he knew, some probably having different names than what people were used to.

Azrail hugs Will close, shaking his head at the creature. With a small frown he glanced at Will, was that he hadn't been there at the time to help heal him and keep him from this fate. He didn't suddenly not like Will because appearances has changed. He gets to his feet, holding Will. He tried to get away from the creature, at the same time moving in the direction they needed to.

(XD, invisible dad. Maybe I should choose one for myself when I feel like murdering yelling at my dad. He frustrates me and I think it's a toxic relationship ='/)

"East," West growls in their own tongue as Zio translates for him.
Zio looked around, realizing this probably wasn't the place to randomly appear in. She hoped none of the guards had seen her or the others. She deffaintly did not feel like fighting.

Rin yelped, "What the hell! Did I make him a card game master. My healing powers are so amazing he knows even more then before," He said as Tippy sighed, not trying to point out their powers did not work like that.
"Go fish," Pinky says helpfully as she glanced at Barks, who was still mumbling to himself.

The thing watched him leave, disappearing. Will suddenly opened his eyes, letting out a startled gasp. He looks around before he realized his scars where showing. He yelped again as he scrambled to find his bracelet, panicking a bit, it wasn't on his wrist anymore. He touched a scar on his face briefly before closing his eyes, hoping this was a dream.

(I was preparing german pancakes that don't actually come from germany, and I was heating up the butter when my sister came in and gasped, "Is that-" I answered butter when she said german pancakes.(also, give midnight a hug for me.))

"Oh! Great!" Churrio brings her portals to life again and teleported everyone to the East.

Austyn giggles, "No, I just know a lot of card games." He grins and sits down between Rin and Tippy. "May I join the next round of go fish?" He asks .

Azrail readjusted his grip but doesn't let go of Will. He wanted to tell him that it was ok, he didn't care how he looked. Instead, he just continued on, holding Will carefully to make sure he didn't fall.

(Oh my, story time *sits down* what is german pancakes? Pancakes that are german xD. And I'll give Midnight a hug for you, although I won't hug her toooo hard or I might squish her xD)

Zio nods and looks around as they are teleported. Their in a forest, near a volcano. They looked up at it, West following their gaze and confirming this was the place.
"Well, he is in there," Zio said pointing to the volcano.

"See, magic doesn't work like that," Tippy said quietly before nodding to Austyn.
"Of course you can! If you think you can beat me, the mo-"
"I win," Blackout cut off Rin smacking his pairs down on the table, "Nice try Rin!"

'Azrail' He signs doing every letter at a time so he slowly made his name, 'What happened... my scars' he looked panicked, looking around as if trying to find something to hide them.

(This amazing thing is a german pancake. We have a special family recipe that we use all the time and I'm sure it's not different from any other. We like to create our own topping, cream cheese and yogurt whipped together - by hand mind you, it's hard to make so dad usually does it - but it tastes absolutely wonderful on top - add nutella. The best time to watch it is when you just pull it out of the oven and the edges shrink in on themselves. (It's the best time because we all get to impersonate the german pancakes and pretend we're all melting.) We also make this avocado drink that I have no idea how it's spelled? Dad got the recipe while on a mission to I forget where. We add more sugar than the original recipe calls for since it calls for none. And yes, we do not want to squish the adorableness that is Midnight. *wastes all energy in talking about this*)

"Aha! Yes! I got it." Churrio crows, seeming rather pleased with herself. "So, are Will and Azrail supposed to be here too?" She looks at the volcano and can't help but start to wonder what type of volcano it was.

Austyn claps his hands and bounces on the edge of his seat. "Good game! Now you all can watch me best everyone no problem." He giggles, not really actually thinking he would win but it was quite possible he could.

Azrail gently pats Will's head before setting Will down, making sure to keep a firm grip on him to make sure he doesn't run away again. He hesitates before releasing his grip on Will, deciding that he can't keep Will from doing what he wants. 'It's ok. That weird guy stole your bracelet and smashed the stone that was creating the illusion. It's ok.' He repeats. It was ok. It had to be. Azrail didn't want to loose Will again.

(That sounds good! *Sees nutella* Um... I'm allergic to nuts Scout xD, wouldn't be that amazing if I died from it xD. That sounds cool, sounds your family is close! I guess I should try german pancakes, they look good! Edit: I gave Midnight a hug and Oreo too (just because =3))

"I think so, but I'm not sure if they are here yet," Zio said looking up at the volcano with a perplexed expression, "Let's worry about South first. Will, Azrail and Ri... well I guess not Riley because who knows where he is, they'll be fine."

"Hm, you can try," Pinky said with a smirk, "It's kinda easy when Barks tells everyone what his cards are."
"Barks does not, Barks good child," Barks said before muttering to himself again like he always did.
Rin smiled, "I will win this time! Nothing will stop me," He dealt out the cards, Tippy picking up the cards with a bored expression on his face.

Will was still shocked, then finally the fear set in. His dad wasn't going to be happy. He started trembling a bit, realizing what was going to happen when he got home. He watched Azrail as he signed that it would be alight, but the feeling of dread twisted his stomach in knots. He nodded though before realized the ice was starting to creep up his fingers, now his fingers where half frozen. That in no way made him feel any better.

(You don't have to add nutella on the german pancakes. XD don't want the kiwi to die. Yes. The two adorables have been hugged. *nods happily*)

"Right. They'll be fine. Will won't be an ice cube and Azrail wouldn't have died from who knows what. Riley left us, I'm not talking about him. He can go die all alone in the most painful way possible." Churrio says, fluffing her feathers.

Austyn laughs as he collects his cards and looks at them, "If Barks does tell what his cards are, even in accident, I promise I won't use that against him."

Azrail wished he could do more than just assure Will. And even what he used to assure him was folly and could easily be proven wrong. He noticed the ice and glares at it. Why don't you just stay away, evil ice. Be gone stupid curse. Why can't Will have something go his way for once. He takes Will hands and attempts to warm them up as well as heal him, for a moment fearing that if his fingers were this bad, his toes probably wouldn't be much better.

(But if I do OoO, no more kiwi! They are fluffy and ready for more hugs xD)

"I'm sure they'll find it in time. I'm a little mad at Riley, but he is scared of fire and this is fire central. Maybe it would be better if he didn't come anyways, now at least he won't be in the way," Zio pointed out.

"I say use it against him, not like it's easy to understand his muttering, Pinky and her all hearing ears are too powerful," Blackout said sarcastically before asking Austyn if he had a six, "Plus I only have one ear so I can't hear as well as others."

Will, who is not a mind reader, was surprised at how angry Azrail seemed at the curse. 'It's fine' he tried to sigh before realizing he couldn't bend his fingers, the joints where frozen.
"It'll be find," He said yelping as he pulled his hands away, the frozen parts hurting as Azrail touched them, though they where growing number by the second, "Let's keep going!"

(No! The kiwi must live forever! If they are ready, we must continue the hugs. xD Also!!! There's blue sky! The ground is still ashy, but there's blue sky! Somewhat)

"Whoever is not mad at Riley may raise their hand and then I will proceed to tell them all the reasons why we should be mad at Riley." Churrio says, determined that Riley was not good and no one should like him.

"Go fish. But that would be rude. I mean, he can't help himself. So I say don't use it against him. Not his fault, I'm sure." Austyn says, waiting his turn so he could ask Rin for a nine. "And I'm sorry about your ear."

Azrail nods and storms forward, an almost visible storm cloud fizzing above his head. He was upset that he couldn't heal Will. He was feeling a bit like a terrible friend since he couldn't do anything but watch as his friend turned into a human popsicle. And it wasn't fair! Both of their lives had been so hard it didn't have to get more complicated.

(I am not immortal xD! Hugs all the way *tackles every living thing with hugs*! Congrats, my sky is still smoky and no fun =P)

Zio sighed but didn't raise her hand. North shrugged and muttered about how there was good in everyone. Of course Zio didn't translate, just looking at the challenges ahead, not what lay behind her.

"Every weakness is made for a reason. And don't apologize, I started the fires, I scarred myself," Blackout said as he watched Rin hand Austyn a nine, "I'd rather not tell the story. Let's just say those people got what they deserved.

Will followed hesitantly. He kept glancing at his scars as if they weren't supposed to be there. He was mostly panicking at the fact he was both freezing and his scars where showing. He tried to not let his scars follow him, following Azrail as fast as he could. He hoped they would get the heart of fire soon.

(Gtg!)
