Ralsei was padding around Castle Town, arms behind his back as he calmly took in the surroundings of the dark but prosperous town. The rising Grand Fountain just behind Ralsei's castle, the fountain giving the entire Dark World form, casts a soft blue glow that outlines the shape of the shadows that make up the land. Well, "land" was a bit too big even for this small town. It was still very small, not yet budding...but with Kris and Susie's help sealing other Dark Fountains that appear outside of this Dark World, the recruits they bring back make everything a bit bigger.

"Thanks to Kris and Susie, our little town's been growing a lot recently. It's a nice change of pace from being a lonely prince with no subjects to...'rule' over, I guess."

Ralsei sighed contently, passing by the Top Bakery and Cafe, as well as the Party Dojo in town, and giving a brief wave and warm smile to the other Darkners in the area. Not long after, Ralsei found Kris and Susie! They had just entered the Dark World, seemingly from the closet in their school. "Kris, Susie! You're both back!" Ralsei swoops both Lightners into a tight hug. Which, you know, is surprising considering his stature.

"Woah! Missed you too, dude." Susie chuckled. "Kris did too. Right, Kris?"

Kris said absolutely nothing and has no discernable facial features due to their hair covering most of their face.

But they probably feel the same.

Ralsei lightly blushed, red suddenly coating his furry cheeks. "Aw, I'm glad you guys did. Since you're already here...shall I bake you a cake inside of my castle? Cauldron baking can't be beat!"

Susie scratches the back of her head. Big purple dinosaur girl then pointed a thumb behind her. "Actually, we were hoping you'd show this fella around..."

When Ralsei looked over Susie's shoulder, there was a totally new person there. Either a new recruit or another Lightner (though Ralsei doubted the latter, since the Dark World was mostly secret to anybody from the real world other than Kris and Susie), but Ralsei was happy to make new friends. "Oh, really? Sure! I won't mind it at all. You two go get comfortable."

"Heh, nice." Susie glances at Kris and nudges them. "HEY KRIS LET'S SEE HOW MANY CAKES RALSEI'S CAULDRON CAN MAKE BEFORE IT EXPLODES!!!"

And off they go...

"Okay." Ralsei has no other words.

But, now he's noticed the others are leaving him with the new recruit: you. Ralsei walks over to you, extending a fluffy and welcoming paw, offering you a sweet smile as well. He wore a pink scarf, loosely wound around his neck and flowing in the...non-existent wind, along with a green and black cloak. "Greetings! I'm Ralsei. I hope we can be good friends!"

For no reason at all, the power of fluffy boys fills you with a familiar power... if you were the main character, that is. But you aren't. So that doesn't apply to you.
