He could understand why the directions were quite vague. From the sounds of it something seemed to be lurking that might cause problems for the natives thus giving out too much information clearly was frowned upon. Maybe it was possible that they were constantly being watched or something along those lines. He understood the reasoning behind it all. "They may be vague, but I think it was quite obvious that there's a reason for that. I mean the way he acted clearly hinted at that so what we got was better than nothing," he mused with a light shrug of his shoulders. He was sure that she should have noticed such. Even he had and he wouldn't consider himself the brightest of people. Pushing the thought off, Rin allowed himself to look around the village for a moment as he noticed that the natives had stopped staring and gone back to to their everyday lives. It was clear they were no longer interested in them which was nice. Having so many eyes on him had made him quite uncomfortable even if he didn't want to admit it. "Anyways, I'm not sure staying here would do us much good right now. If we still have several hours of day left then searching might be our best bet. Plus like you said, we can always back track if we need not to mention that we could always find a village that is closer to the temple to stay in if we need." Even if it might be dangerous to push on, the half demon saw no reason to hang back at the moment. Wasting time didn't seem ideal even if it would be easier to find shelter in this place now that they had been deemed worthy by the chief.

Giving a flick of his tail, he took a few steps forward hoping that the girl would follow after him. The longer they wasted in this place, the less time they had to search. Honestly, he wanted to get going so they might be able to avoid needing to fight at night. He knew how things got for him at night. Demons always became stronger. That included himself. Of course such could be seen as a good thing, but he could always quite easily lose control over his demon half if he wasn't careful and becoming savage in a place like this seemed less than ideal. Pushing the thought off, Rin knew he couldn't be thinking of such things right now. He knew he had to believe that he was in control. He couldn't start thinking he would lose control otherwise he would. Staying positive about it all was all he could do.

Hearing her question, Gold couldn't say he was even sure if the berries were edible for Pokemon, yet he made no attempt to stop Pibu. As far as he was concerned berries back home weren't harmful to humans, though some of them weren't all too common to eat. The effects that they had on Pokemon simply just didn't work on humans anyways, but some of them just weren't all that great in taste. "Well, back home some of the berries Pokemon eat are eaten by humans, but I'm not sure what these even are so I don't know if they're actually safe," he said with a light shrug. He could expect to know what foods in some new land were like. She should have known that. It wasn't like this world had much similar with his own home and he was sure it was the same for her. Yet the berries could be useful. "Even if they're safe for Pibu that doesn't mean they'll be safe for humans, but there is only one way to find out." Plucking a berry from the bush, he held it up to examine it quietly. It was rather small and appeared to be quite similar to a razz berry though it was much redder in color. If it looked like a berry of his own world then maybe it would be so bad, though razz berry's were too spicy for his liking.

Without thinking more into it, Gold slipped the berry between his lips and closed his eyes as if he was expecting the worst. Instead he was met with a slightly tart taste. It was definitely different than what he had expected, but he couldn't say it was all that bad. Actually it was better than what razz berries tasted like. "Well, they don't taste all that bad and I don't feel anything after eating one. Maybe they really are safe," he said as he opened his eyes once again. Maybe he should have been more careful with each such a thing, but it was too late for that now. Plucking another from the bush, he turned to Mythra and held it out with a faint smirk on his lips. "Why don't you try one? You are some all powerful being right so what's a little berry going to do to you? Maybe I should have thought of that before I ate it."

Hajime Hinata

Quietly following behind her, Hajime approached the statue. It was a strange object to be standing in a forest like this, but he couldn't say it was the weirdest thing he had seen around. He had seen plenty of weird things back on Jabberwock Island. This actually oddly seemed natural in a way. Pushing the thought aside, he stopped as Saber began to examine and stood in silence with his arms crossed over his chest as he studied it. He couldn't say he could place exactly what was being depicted in it, but it looked humanoid of sorts and it clearly wasn't something that had been made recently for it showed plenty of wear and tear plus mother nature seemed to be claiming it for her own. Moss grew at its base and vines were draped over the figures upper body. It made him wonder how long it had been left to sit and if people actually came to see it at all. Given its shape, he kind of doubted the latter. Snapping from his thoughts as he heard Saber speak up, he quirked a brow. She couldn't read it? He was sure he wouldn't be able to do so either. It wasn't as if he was fluent in all too many languages besides Japanese and English and even then his English wasn't exactly the greatest. Then again she had said it was written rather small, not necessarily in another language. "Hm, I could give it a try, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to read it either."

Dropping his arms from his chest, he took a step forward and looked down at the slab. It was exactly like she had said. The text was written rather small, but even more concerning it seemed to be written in a language he couldn't exactly place. It certainly wasn't Japanese or English. Perhaps it was a native language of the island? It was possible. He couldn't say he necessarily had the knowledge to know. If only Sonia was around. She might be able to place it and decipher it. The princess did know over 30 languages. It was a feat that greatly impressed him. That wasn't important now though. Letting a soft hum escape his lips, Hajime ran his fingers over the symbols before him as if trying to find another way to read it. "Well, I don't think-" he began but he was cut off as the statue began sliding from its place to reveal a suspicious staircase underneath. It almost reminded him of Monokuma rock. Lifting his hand from the slab, he glanced at Saber. "It seems we found something that might be important. Might be best if we look into it with caution."

The knight's eyes widened slightly as the statue moved away, revealing a narrow staircase that seemed to lead into a tunnel of sorts. "What did you do?" she inquired, eyes still fixed on the passage. After a moment, she waved her question away. "Anyway, that doesn't matter. We should check it out, but I just can't shake the feeling that the writing on that rock means something important...possibly even a warning." However, Saber didn't feel like finding other people that could read the script, so she just shrugged and slowly lowered herself down onto the first step. Each one was quite tall, far apart, and narrow to boot, so she had to tread carefully. What kind of creatures were these steps meant for? It doesn't seem like a regular human would be able to easily go up and down this staircase. The underground passage clearly hadn't been used for a long time. There was ivy covering the carved stone walls, and the steps were coated with fragile spider webs. After minutes of going downwards, Saber finally felt a change in the texture of the floor. She glanced over her shoulder to make sure Hajime had followed her and realized that she could no longer see aboveground. The knight turned her gaze back towards the dark room in front of her. "Mind giving me some light? I can't see."

”Mmhm,” The blonde hummed while she scanned her eyes over Blue and raised an eyebrow which made it quite clear she didn’t agree with him saying that he didn’t look “that bad”, ”totally, yeah. Not bad.” Beatrice rolled her eyes and scoffed softly while she pulled her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them. When Blue explained how he hoped that she wouldn't see him in the state he was currently in, the girl chuckled and shook her head, ”I’ve seen worse than a rash and...uh,” - she paused, looking at the inkling and searching for the correct word to describe the appearance rather than dripping - ”and, uh, melting. This isn’t going to be permanent, right? With all the dripping.” Beatrice asked, tilting her head before offering a smile, ”I don’t want to walk around with the Wicked Witch of the West.” She joked, hoping to lighten the mood after she noticed that the Inkling’s voice wasn’t as energetic as it usually was, only afterwards did she realise perhaps he wouldn’t understand the reference but she could always explain it if she had to, so it wasn’t too much of a bother for her.

The vague explanation wasn’t the most helpful response ever, but at least it was something, right? Either Blue didn’t understand it or he didn’t want to explain any more of it, the skinwalker assumed it was just because he didn’t understand it because she couldn’t see why he would avoid explaining it. ”Well next time we need to do something around water, I’m fine with being the one going in.” Beatrice decided. Seeing the Inkling’s reaction to the water, she preferred to avoid letting him get wet again if it was going to cause him to have rashes and in general make him uncomfortable. Then came the question of where they should eat. Beatrice’s eyes scanned over their surroundings, it seemed nice enough where they were, plus they would be able to see people coming towards them but there were also disadvantages since people could probably also see them. Going back to where their original rendezvous point was quite the opposite; they wouldn’t be able to see people coming but other people may not be able to find them either - that was both good and bad depending on whether or not the other people were hostile or not. There was also the risk of those creatures attacking again, too.

”It might be best to just eat it here,” Beatrice decided, turning to focus on Blue again, ”I mean, we are both here anyway, right? And we can see if anything is coming.” She explained, giving a small shrug of her shoulders, ”Like those creatures that attacked earlier.” The skinwalker continued as she glanced at the fish and the birds that were caught and she felt bad for not catching as much as Blue had, especially considering how the water affected him.

”Don’t worry about it, if there’s a problem I’m sure we could sort it out together.” The Ferelden king offered a smile alongside the reassuring words, hoping the mood could stay light-hearted. Taking the role of a leader was certainly a strange feeling despite the fact that he was technically a leader anyway since he was a king, but that didn’t mean he was used to it yet, he rarely took over, after all, and preferred letting others lead him. Except for when it was something he wanted to do or something he was planning, he also wouldn’t mind leading if it reduced the risk of somebody else being harmed. He was used to risky situations involving bandits, monsters, assassins, etcetera, so he didn’t mind that much if he had to lead people if those threats were present. He didn’t think there were any bandits or assassins in this foreign and strange island, though, it seemed almost dead anyway, but he could not be sure about there not being any dangers nearby. There were no darkspawn, that was good, but there were many other possible monsters that Alistair was not capable of sensing like the darkspawn during a Blight. Dragons were bad, for example, but he couldn’t sense those (although they were pretty large and loud so it was going to be easy to see one of those coming for the duo) and he also couldn’t sense people like witches even if he used to be a Templar in training. There were a lot of risks that Alistair would not be able to predict. He didn’t voice those concerns, though, deciding that there was no need to and he wouldn’t want to start scaring Makoto or anything like that.

Alistair shifted his head to look at Makoto when he seemed to be confused at the mention of darkspawn, tilting his head curiously; he could not recall ever meeting somebody who didn’t know about darkspawn. ”Er, yeah, they are bad. Really bad. They’re probably like...the biggest threat I can think of? And they smell bad.” He chuckled softly after making his last comment, ”They’re not that bad in small numbers, but a whole horde of them is a different story.” Alistair continued to explain, shrugging, ”Don’t worry, though. They’re not that difficult to fight and kill if we do end up running into any. I doubt it, though, they’re usually underground.” Alistair hoped his words would be somewhat reassuring for Makoto, ”We’ll be alright, I’m sure of it. A couple of bad things doesn’t sound so...bad?” It sounded better in Alistair’s head.

He looked forward once again when Makoto pointed out that they had appeared to have company, ”Hm?” It didn’t take long for him to also spot the figure that his companion had pointed out and upon closer inspection there appeared to be more than one figure. Frowning, Alistair reached his hand back to grab the hilt of his sword in case these newer people proved to be dangerous and in general a problem for the two of them. Drawing his large weapon, his gaze shifted to Makoto, ”Maybe you should stay behind me in case there is a fight.” The king advised, ”Hopefully it won't come to that though.”

tekhartha zenyatta • twenty • omnic • tag; otome

Zenyatta slightly nodded his head when Otome motioned to him once she mentioned his name, however, he remained silent for the time being and decided to allow Otome to continue explaining the situation to Hiro - it became clear to the omnic now that the two of them were obviously friends of some kind, not to mention they were also both Octolings. That made Zenyatta wonder if there was anybody he knew that they could come across. Perhaps other people who were from Overwatch could be found? Or other omnics? The floating monk voted against pondering on that for too long, he wouldn’t wish anything ill of those he knew (although he supposed this situation was not too terrible, it was simply waking up somewhere unfamiliar) and he was sure he would be able to return home soon enough. Did he simply disappear? Or was he still asleep while in this land? He doubted the latter, he was quite sure he was functioning properly and “awake” if you will.

A slow and quiet hum was coming from the omnic while Otome and Hiro spoke, allowing the two to continue their conversation without being interrupted by the healer. However, once Hiro turned to him and spoke Zenyatta bobbed his head politely, ”It is a pleasure to meet you too, Hiro.” The fact that the second Octoling appeared to be confused by the mention of humans did not surprise Zenyatta considering Otome’s initial reaction earlier. It certainly increased the monk’s curiosity when it came to the Octolings’ home and their world in general, all the speak of humans and how they were apparently extinct was strange to listen to, of course, considering Zenyatta often worked alongside humans and could not picture a time where there were no humans left.

”Otome is correct. Where I am from the human population is still very much alive and thriving. There are also no species quite like the two of you where I live - although, I do quite enjoy the company so far as we all could learn something from one another.” The female Octoling’s description of humans also piqued the omnic’s interest. Kid form? There were more than two forms for Octolings, then? How many were there? How long until their continued to the next form? How did it work? He assumed it was like the process of humans growing from infant to adult and wished to ask for more information, however, he figured that now was likely not the best time to start inquiring about Octolings despite the company; they were more focused on getting to the village, after all.

”We should still exercise caution, though.” The floating omnic pointed out when Otome said that it would be okay, while Zenyatta hoped it would not end badly, it wasn’t smart to start making assumptions loosely based on what Zenyatta had said before. While most humans he had met were quite pleasant people, there were still criminals, there were violent people, there were prejudiced people and the list could go on. However, due to how Fumihiro appeared to be nervous about the encounter Zenyatta did not want to scare either of the Octolings, ”Humans are generally peaceful but they are also...unpredictable at times.” The monk explained.

fenris • late twenties • elf • tag; ciel

”Hmph. I suppose you are correct, titles do not matter here.” The tattooed warrior grumbled, noticing how Ciel narrowed his eyes after the handshake. Fenris cursed softly under his breath, it was obvious, then, that he reacted poorly to the handshake but he was not going to be explaining why he winced unless he was asked, he wasn’t fond of the idea of a complete stranger knowing how sensitive the lyrium tattoos were. Shaking his head, Fenris decided to focus on what the boy was saying and couldn’t help but notice how whenever he smiled it looked like it was forced and the elf struggled to understand why Ciel felt the need to be feigning interest and friendliness. He voted against voicing his confusion, preferring to let it go unsaid.

”Do not say things you do not believe.” Fenris’ voice was blunt as he focused his eyes on Ciel, ”I would prefer you not liking me rather than pretending that you do.” The warrior continued while he cast his gaze elsewhere and he eventually began to walk without much warning. The fact that the two of them were stood out in the open bothered Fenris, he believed that they should have started walking and exploring the unfamiliar land and search for other people and preferably natives of the land - it looked unlike the dream he had before; it was darker which prompted the man to believe that something bad had happened. If they found natives, some questions could be answered. ”If you wish to accompany me, I will not stop you. If we are able to find others here, we could perhaps find out how to get back to our homes.”

Avelina the figure immediately vanish from view in an instant like a flash of lightning. "What just happened? Could he have been a ghost? I don't know much about this island, so it could be haunted. Even though I have never seen a ghost before," she thought. "Well, I'm alone now. I should definitely go see if there's anyone else here," Avelina quietly told herself. She decided that it would be a good idea to start looking for people in the forest. "Hopefully I'm not going to run into any more ghosts. I don't enjoy talking to mirages," Avelina thought as she began walking into the woods.

"Those sound like good ideas. Any thoughts about where we should start looking?" Le Pingouin asked Kazuichi. "So the evil teddy bear he dealt with is named Monokuma. I hope Kazuichi knows how to defeat him, since I've never heard of Monokuma. It's probably not going to be the same way as Despair Bear. In summary, I need to defend Kazuichi and myself from anything not friendly, make sure neither of us get controlled by Hawkmoth, and try to get back home," he thought. "Is there any special way to get rid of Monokuma? My friends made a contraption that unwound our evil teddy bear. Although it took us a while to do that. Any button to turn him off or a flash drive? I can understand if you don't like to talk about it. My experiences with supervillians aren't exactly something I enjoy. Some of my friends temporarily got turned into ice cream on one occasion," Le Pingouin explained.

"No, you don't have to worry. It'll stop eventually. It's just what happens when Inklings are exposed to water. I mean, ink doesn't really mix well with water and all that so this just kinda happens," Blue said, trying to ignore what she had called him since he wasn't even sure what it was. Even if he didn't know who or what it was, he assumed that they probably didn't have a very appealing appearance. Pushing it off, he knew once everything dried it would return to normal, though the rash might stay for a bit longer than that. As long as it didn't bother him, he didn't really care all too much. Dropping his knees from his own chest, Blue reached for his shoes and pulled them back on. "But really, I'm sorry if I look like some wicked witch or whatever it was you called me. Must not be something pleasant if you're comparing it to me." Sure he had an idea of what witches were, but they were from fairytales and other fantasy things. Was it possible that they too existed in Bea's world? Such a thought was biazzare to him, but from what she had told him, her world was quite different than what his own was. Times with humans must have surely been crazy. It was no use in trying to comprehend any of it. It would never make any sense to him given that he would never live in a human world.

Hearing her suggest that she was fine doing anything involving water, the Inkling gave a small shake of his head. Sure, it came as a relief that she would say such a thing, but he felt that he still needed to try and sound as if it was alright. He didn't want his fear becoming obvious just like that. "You really don't have to. I'm just fine dealing with water even if I get like this," he said. It did pain him to lie, but it had to be done. Whatever it took to hide things, he would do for now. If he had to reveal it at some point he would, but until then he would have to play it off as if it were no big deal. "It may make me kind of uncomfortable, but I don't want to be useless, ya know?" Those words couldn't be any more true and they surely had plenty emotion behind them. It was more than clear that the Inkling didn't want to feel useless. The feeling was awful and he wanted to avoid it at all costs. In that moment, he realized a frown had formed on his face and he instantly forced himself to perk up. A faint smile crossed his lips and he lifted a hand to rub the back of his neck.

"Anyways, eating here is fine then. I'm starving anyways," he laughed, attempting to play off the brief moment of sadness he had shown. Looking at him now it was hard to tell he had even been down in the last few minutes. The beaming smile on his face made it seem that he had been happy as could be. Glancing over at the fish sitting beside him, the Inkling gave a small shrug of his shoulders and reached for one. "Well, if we're not moving then let's eat up. Have as much as you want. I caught plenty." Picking up one of the fish, he held it out in front of himself for a moment as he debated how he would go about eating it. There wasn't an easy way to avoid eating the bones and such. Then again, he was sure such wouldn't bother his stomach all that much, yet he hesitated to do so. He didn't want to just swallow a whole fish in front of a girl. That was kind of embarrassing. Lifting the fish up to his mouth, he decided to take a bite from it, attempting to avoid any places that he knew would have bones in them. Swallowing the first bite, he glanced at Beatrice. "I'm sorry if there are bite marks on all the fish. It's the only way I could catch them." It probably was best that he didn't mention that the all the fish had been in his mouth at some point, but it was too late for that.

Makoto Naegi

♦ 17 ♦ Male ♦ Danganronpa ♦ Tagged: Alistair ♦

It was a relief that these darkspawn he spoke of didn't seem bad in small numbers, but he still couldn't help but worry. It wasn't as if he would be much help if a fight did break out. He'd only be a liability. Not only was he weaponless, but even if he did have a weapon he'd probably be relatively useless. He wasn't necessarily trained with anything since he was an average kid. Pushing the thought aside, he knew he couldn't be focusing on such right now. He needed to pay attention to the figure that was standing before them. He couldn't say he could place who it was which was no surprise. He doubted there would be anyone in this place that he would actually know. However, the newcomers presence oddly made him feel uncomfortable and as Alistair drew his sword that feeling only grew. Hearing the king speak, he gave a small nod of his head and stepped behind the much taller male to assure that he wasn't an easy target for whatever was approaching them. Staying out of the way really was his only option to begin with. It would assure them the best chance of making it through a fight without any major problems. He couldn't help but feel curious about the approaching figure though. Peering around Alistair, his eyes were immediately drawn to it, but the sound of a new, yet familiar voice was quick to draw his attention away.

"Well, well, well if it isn't Makoto Naegi," a feminine voice laughed out, instantly catching Makoto's attention. The teen's eyes were drawn to a figure that had begun to approach them from behind and his expression instantly dropped. This couldn't be happening. He had to be dreaming. There was no way he was seeing her. Feeling his hands begin to tremble slightly, he quickly tried to calm himself. This was no time to get worked up over simply seeing her. He tried telling himself that, but his concern only grew as he saw the familiar black and white bear peer out from around the girl's legs. They were still alive. Junko and Monokuma. As much as he had been telling himself that this wasn't a Killing Game, he was starting think he might have been entirely wrong about the situation. "Puhuhu! Your face says it all. You've fallen into despair just at the sight of me. And here I thought you were supposed to be the Ultimate Hope!"

Junko's laugh caused Makoto to step closer to Alistair. He wasn't necessarily afraid of Junko, but rather concerned on how she was alive and what she was planning to do. Deciding not to address her yet, he turned his head to look toward the king, figuring that he should warn him about the other unwanted guests though he was sure he had heard them by now. "We have more company and it's not something that should necessarily be alive anymore," he mumbled. He had seen Junko die before his own eyes after the final trial. There was no way she could have lived after such. The fact that she was standing before him made him question what this place even was and how it was possible for her to still be standing.

Looking around as the boy posed his first question, Kazuichi couldn't see anything that might directly lead them to answers, but he could see a forest in one direction and a cliff in the other. Both seemed like locations that might be worth searching for answers. He didn't really see anything that might. "Well, there either that forest over there or the cliff in the other direction. Not sure how useful they'd be, but it seems that they might offer something," he said with a slight shrug of his shoulders. The forest seemed like the most obvious spot to search at the moment but he assumed that was where the most dangers might be lurking and as far as he was concerned he wanted to avoid any kind of danger since he wasn't much of a fighter to begin with. Actually, he was sure he'd flee if a battle of sorts came up. As much as he hated admitting it, he knew he how cowardly he was in the face of danger. Even the class trials showed just how scared of such things he was. It certainly was hard to tell such by the way he looked. Most would think he was someone to get into the middle of danger yet he tried to avoid it as much as he could.

Pushing the thought off, Kazuichi heard the boy ask about Monokuma and a soft hum escaped his lips. "Well, I'm not exactly sure. As much as I wanted to take Monokuma apart, I never got the chance to, but he's a machine so there has to be a way to turn him off," he mused. Maybe if Monokuma did show up he'd have the chance to take him apart and see what he was made of. The thought actually excited the mechanic. Then again he was aware that there were multiple Monokuma and they were said to have a bomb inside which he didn't want to set off. Even with that danger in mind, he still hoped to try and toy with the plush machine if he ever could. "But I do know that Monokuma is relatively harmless if you don't attack him. He has a bomb inside him that he can detonate whenever he wants and there are multiples of him so he can just come back brand new." Then again he didn't see any signs of the presence of the robotic bear. He figured it would have at least been obvious if he was around yet there was absolutely nothing at all. Monokuma certainly wasn't one to shy away from making his presence known and bothering people. That was what he was good at.

He wasn't even sure what he had done other than run his fingers across the words, but it didn't seem like she was waiting for him to answer anyways. He guessed it didn't matter. That was fine with him. Glancing down at the slab once again, Hajime took one last attempt to read it, but it was to no avail. No matter how long he stared at it, the language was nothing he had seen before. It was possible that it could contain a warning, but part of him felt that it was only saying what might be laying before them. Either way, he was sure they were lacking important information. They'd find out soon enough. Stepping around the slab, he noticed that Saber had already descended into the passage. For a moment he hesitated to follow. It was clear that the staircase wasn't all that wide. It'd be a struggle for him to move. Letting a soft sigh escape his lips, he had no choice but to accept such and follow. Stepping down into the passageway, he felt as if the walls had closed in on him. His shoulders were practically rubbing against the walls as he moved, making it rather uncomfortable for him. After a few more steps, he froze as he heard the statue overhead slide back into place and cut off the only available light source. "What the?!" he breathed out. Had it been a trap? It was possible. If it was then trouble might be laying ahead for them. That only made him more uncomfortable with the situation.

Closing his eyes, he took a moment to compose himself. Thinking negatively wasn't going to get him out of here and it wouldn't better the situation in any way. Besides, he had never been one to think in such a manner so why start now. Opening his eyes once again, Hajime began to proceed down the rest of the stairs with caution. With no light to guide him it made the task a bit more difficult, but he would get by. Finding himself at the bottom, he no longer felt as if the walls were closing in on him. It was clear that the room had widened even though he was essentially blind to his own surroundings. Hearing Saber's voice, he lifted his head in her direction and quirked a brow. How was he supposed to give her light? He couldn't create such a thing and it was clear that he wasn't going to get it from anywhere else. "I can't give you something I don't have," he remarked.

Lifting up a hand, he began to feel for the nearest wall. As he hand rested against it, he followed it in silence. It was the safest way to move forward. After a few feet, he felt the wall run out, indicating a turn in it, but instead of following it, he stepped blindly from it and proceeded into the room. Taking each step with caution, Hajime could feel his heart racing in his chest. What was he even doing? He couldn't even answer such a question, but as he took another step, a flash of light flashed from in front of him. Just as quickly as it appeared it began to spread. "Torches," he mumbled as he finally could see what was lighting the room. How it had happened, he wasn't sure. It certainly seemed like something right out of a movie though. Before he could even think to address Saber, his eyes were instantly drawn to a large object that sat on the far side of the room. It almost seemed like a tomb of sorts. Had the stage been of the one inside it? Either way, he couldn't say it made him feel at ease. On the wall behind it was a sign with what appeared to be the same language written on it as the slab had had. "Well, none of this seems good."

Despite the words that both Otome and Zenyatta spoke, Fumihiro didn't feel any less nervous about confronting humans. Even if they were relatively peaceful and even looked kind of like his own kind, he didn't feel that he should brush his feelings off so easily. The would only create an opening for being attacked and he didn't want that. However, he was fine going in with an open mind. He wouldn't assume these humans or whatever they might be were friendly nor would he assume they were violent either. It was best to form his own views once he came in to contact with them. He was sure that was the best way to go about things in this situation. For all he knew whatever they might come in to contact with might not even be human. Pushing the thought from his head, Hiro noticed that they had already begun moving toward the village. Giving a panicked twitch of his ears, the Octoling trotted after the two in an attempt to not be left behind. The last thing he wanted was to be left alone in a place like this. "I'll take your word on humans," he said softly. It was clear that his words lacked any confidence behind his words. He was sure that it was evident that he wasn't a hundred percent behind what he had been told, but he wasn't going to voice his concerns.

Instead the Octoling began thinking of how he could change the subject off humans as they walked. The last thing he needed was to continue thinking too far into the subject. That would only make him more nervous. Instead, he needed something else to get his mind thinking about. Letting a soft hum escape his lips as he thought, Hiro found himself becoming lost in his own head. Maybe he should ask if they really thought they would get useful information out of going to the village or something along those lines. He wasn't even sure. It seemed like a kind of stupid question to ask, but it would at least shift the focus off humans directly. Snapping back into reality, he looked toward his two companions. "So, do you think this village will actually have useful information or is interest in the village the only thing that is drawing you to it?" he asked. The question was entirely stupid now that he thought of it, but he couldn't take it back. Mentally he slapped himself for asking such a thing. He was sure he looked like an idiot by now, but what could he do.

Saber - Female - Straight - Fate/Stay Night - Heroic Spirit - Location: Underground Chamber - Tags: Hajime

Saber proceeded cautiously into the middle of the room, careful to watch for any traps. Suddenly, she heard a noise that resembled rock sliding back into place and flinched. Well, there goes our exit. Where are we, really? she wondered. Hajime had wandered to the other side of the room. Something must have been triggered, as suddenly several torches were lighting up the room. There were several strange objects stacked in one corner, along with a case that looked eerily similar to a coffin of sorts. Her companion was already there, staring down at the coffin in thought. Shaking her head to get rid of any disturbing thoughts, Saber walked over to the coffin silently. There were several intricate locking spiral designs on the sides, and the top was carved with a large insignia. However, the most ominous thing about it was probably the writing carved into one of the walls. Saber assumed that it was the same language seen on the stone slab next to the statue. Who's in that coffin? the knight thought as she moved cautiously to dust the coffin off. However, the moment she placed her boot on the coffin, the lid slid off.

Saber jumped back quickly and stared at the coffin, ready for a monster of some sort to jump out. As the lid fell to the floor loudly, she chanced a peek at the coffin. Luckily, there weren't any strange dead bodies inside. She sighed in relief, dropping her guard a little and moving a bit closer to the empty container. A small piece of black paper was pinned to the coffin, and there seemed to be more writing on it. Saber watched the paper suspiciously for a few moments before picking it up and soon realized that this was in a language she could read. The knight scanned the paper, her eyes widening more and more as she read through it. It was a translation of both messages she and Hajime had previously found aboveground and on the sign here. She had been right: the messages were by no means friendly to them, the "outsiders". The note went on to explain what exactly this island was before it ended suddenly. Was the writer of this note killed when they were found with this in their possession and then brought down here to rot away? Saber snapped out of her thoughts and motioned for Hajime, who was scanning the room for anything else that was suspicious, to come over. "I think you may want to see this," she called.

Ciel grimaced slightly. He doubted his brother would've been so cold even if he was still alive and after all they had been through previously. "I do not...dislike you. I come from a place where one must be alert at all times. One moment you might be the richest person in the world, and the next moment, the poorest. Anything can happen on the streets. I can see that you appear to understand this concept as well." Well, I don't dislike you for now, he added in his thoughts. Ciel had made many mistakes in the past. Many of his subordinates had either betrayed him or sold him out, and it was all because Ciel had put his trust in them. After the last time, the boy had vowed never to trust easily again. The elf man might seem a little gruff in manner, but he did seem like a nice enough person. Besides, the navyette needed to get off of this island as quickly as possible, and if he'd be able to do so by collaborating with the elf, then why not? Ciel thought over the elf's final words for a moment, then followed. "I suppose it would be in both of our best interests to help each other as of now. I will accompany you for the time being. I trust that you don't mind it?"

Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Saber moving toward the coffin yet he stayed where he was. His entire body was frozen in place. He wasn't even sure why. A coffin wasn't the worst thing he had ever seen in his life. Hell it was far better than seeing an actual dead body. Just the thought of such caused unwanted memories to resurface. He could recall each of his friends' deaths; Byakuya being brutally stabbed, Mahiru being killed by a blow from a baseball bat to the head, Ibuki being strangled, and the last just went on. Within a span of a couple weeks he had been exposed to eleven bodies of his friends. It haunted him yet there was even worse. Looking toward his feet, he took a deep breath as he shook the images from his mind. Thinking of them now would only hurt him. Lifting his head once more, he noticed Saber had arrived at the tomb and was quietly inspecting it. He was about to move over to join her, but as he saw her accidentally push the lid off, he stopped himself. He half expected something horrid to come out of it, but to his surprise nothing happened. It was odd. Of all the things that were happening in this chamber, he expected the worst case scenario. Perhaps this was only a trap for such. It certainly seemed like it. There was no turning around now though. They had no options other than to look around and figure out how to escape this place.

Hearing the knight speak, Hajime snapped back into reality and gave a small nod. He could see that she was now holding a letter of sorts and guessing from her words, he could assume that it was something they could actually read or at least she could. Pushing himself forward, his body felt heavier than usual as he moved. Why do I feel like this? Is something about to happen? he thought to himself. It was concerning, but he decided not to voice it. Instead he moved over to his companion in silence. Making it over to her, he looked down at the note in her hands. Allowing his eyes to scan over the words, he could say he was surprised by them in the slightest.

"This island was once a beautiful place of paradise. All those that lived her were in peace, but all that changed when it appeared and took control. None of us had seen it coming yet we were all in danger of its rule. Some immediately joined him in fear of their own lives while others stood up to resist. They risked their own lives to bring peace, yet it was all for nothing. This island isn't dying, but rather its influence has brought a sense of darkness over us. Of course plenty of things have died at its hand, but live is still sustainable on this island, at least for now. It's hard to say how long that will last.

However, legend has it that outsiders are the key to our survival, but even it knows that. It fears no one even those from other worlds. It will do whatever it must to prevent its reign from ending. Some have even said it is willing to pull outsiders from their homes to see if they could defeat it although it seems to plan to torment them more than anything else. It controls various different things. It has altered some of the island's wildlife to be far more hostile and they will attack those that venture out of villages, but they do not seem to enter any civilization. It also can create illusions. I haven't a clue what they might be but some rumor they are of close ones to those involved and they can be seen by all. But that's not the worst of it...."

The letter was ended there and it made Hajime wonder what the writer of it had intended to add, but there wasn't enough to go on to guess what it might have been. He was sure that with an ending like that the writer must have been killed. Perhaps this was built for them by the natives that were still against whatever "it" was or maybe this was a trap by "it" to lure them in and kill them off like the messaged suggested. It was quite plausible. That was what worried him most. Staying silent for a moment longer, Hajime peered into the casket to see if anything else had been left behind. At one end he spotted a pair of pistols. It was an odd thing to find, but he grabbed them nonetheless and instantly checked to see if they were loaded. It was clear by the way he handled them that it wasn't his first time dealing with such a weapon, though it had more so been Izuru's doing than his own yet the things that had existed with his other self still lingered inside him. Once he confirmed that both guns still had bullets in them, he turned to Saber once again. "I think we can trust what that note says but," he began as he pushed the safety lock on one of the pistols and reached around to secure it along the waistline of his pants. "I also think this was a trap. Our only option is..."

Before he could end his sentence, he heard a grinding sound on the other side of the room. Whipping around with one gun in hand, he pointed it in the sounds direction half expecting a monster of sorts to be coming at them, but he was only met with a gaping hole on the opposite wall. It seemed another passage had opened for them. Lowering the gun, he let a soft sigh escape his lips and allowed his body to relax. "It seems I was about to make a wrong suggestion. I suppose going deeper into this place is our best option. It might be our only way of getting back above ground." Even if it was their only way of escape, he was almost sure that it was going to be dangerous, but it also might hold more information. Now with a weapon, he didn't need to feel as helpless, but that said weapon being left only made him suspicious. It only seemed to hint at something being in this place waiting for them.

At the welcome sound of a familiar voice, Pidge whipped her head down to scan the ground surrounding the tree, eyes suddenly locking onto a mullet. "K-Keith! Oh, thank god!" Relief was evident in her voice as she spoke, not only for the familiar face but also due to the fact that she hadn't seen the boy in a very long time. Sadly, not the ideal place for a reunion, but it'll work.

When she heard his shocked question, she was abruptly reminded that she actually had no clue to how she even ended up in this predicament, something that frustrated her and confused her greatly "I have no idea! Real question is, how are you here?" the fact that they somehow ended up on the the same planet, despite being many galaxies away, made absolutely no sense. But alas, that question she was determined to answer "Climb on up here! I'm trying to find out exactly what planet we could be on." Pidge yelled down. She knew it'd be a long shot that she'd recognize their surroundings, but it wouldn't hurt to try. Besides... in a weird way, this planet reminded her of earth, despite the fact that last time she remembered, she had never been anywhere close to her home planet. Oh well, wishful thinking m.

The gentle crashing of ocean waves and the iconic pink of cherry blossoms gave Yuuri an immense sense of peace, a familiar scene that greatly reminded him of his hometown. The dream was wonderful; a beautiful island, void of any worry, and the joyful laughing of a child brought a smile to his face. He was quite disappointed when everything started to darken and the tell-tale signs of reality pulled at him, grounding him back into his bed in Saint Petersburg.

But the darkness stayed. He didn't sense the comfort of his fluffy blankets, nor the presence of a certain silver-haired man next to him. His body felt heavy, and the ground felt... Grainy? He suddenly jolted up, his eyes snapping open then quickly shut again as wind hit his face. With a groan, he slowly opened his eyes again.


This wasn't the apartment. This was... "A beach?!" He exclaimed loudly, jumping up in panic. "What... How?!?" This certainly looked like the cloudy beaches of Saint Petersburg, but this was different. A certain, deep, sinking feeling told him that this was a place he had never been before. "Is anyone here? Hello?" He called, utterly bewildered and hoping there was just some sign of life nearby.

Goro Akechi//form//persona-using human//Persona 5//location: field//tags: Rutile twins

((I apologise for my inactivity! I started up school and a job recently and I haven’t had much time to get on here))

The strawberry blond was glad to see the two in front of him start to smile, and though it was done so a bit nervously, Akechi would take it. It appeared that after a short while of panicking- as anyone would probably go through in this situation, Akechi admitted- the Rutile twins seemed a bit more comfortable with the fact that he wasn’t hostile. Still, the so-called ace detective stayed mostly still with his arms at his sides in case something else did end up spooking them.

The information that they told him made Akechi’s brow furrow. It was a possibility that they could have been knocked out and ditched here but Akechi found that pretty unlikely. Not to mention he arrived in a similar way. He unconsciously raised a hand to his chin thoughtfully. “I thought it was just because I was dead, but the same thing happened to me...” He commented quietly, seemingly unaware that he was speaking out loud.

He glanced back up to their faces when he noticed their visible discomfort at his gaze, arching an eyebrow in question at their response. “Well, I have to admit this is my first time meeting someone like you. You don’t seem like anyone’s subconscious, which means you aren’t something I know as a shadow, and the only living gems I’ve seen are treasure demons. Those are just... floating crystals. Anyway, are you from Earth?” It seemed like a strange question considering Akechi didn’t really believe in aliens, but perhaps there was something in a different dimension.

Sagittarius//form//centaur-constellation//location: beach>forest//Tags: Reuben

Sagittarius felt relief flood into him at the other man’s words, even though he himself didn’t sound that confident. “That’s an interesting concept- almost like regeneration, kind of. Celestials do that sort of thing all the time so I wouldn’t be surprised if Aquarius did it.” And with that the centaur was boasting another grin. Of course a zodiac embodiment wouldn’t be easy to get rid of.

The next statement caught Sagittarius off guard a tiny bit, though his smile didn’t move from his face. “You mean there’s only one of each representation of key? Perhaps we really are different sorts...” That had to be the explanation- unless one of each twelve forms of the zodiac agreed to lend their powers to humans. The half horse didn’t know all that much about them so Reuben’s guess was as good as his. “And you need one of those keys to be a celestial mage and they are all currently being used?” Sagittarius confirmed. He was quickly distracted by the wave of the wand though, and clasped his hands together at the sight of the butterflies. “Oh, that’s amazing! I know a few illusions with light and stars, but that’s about it, and they aren’t exactly my strong point. Moving objects seem somewhat challenging though, with living things being harder to do.” The centaur stopped where he was to look around at the false insects before glancing up to the mage. “It doesn’t seem like they can touch anything though. Can you create some sort of illusion that feels like it’s at least touching you? Like a trick of temperature or something?”

Midna looked away from the waves, and her eyes took to the cliffs. The cliffs were topped with cherry blossom trees. As her eyes scanned them, she saw a figure. Piqued with interest, she floated slowly up the side of the cliff. She looked up at the figure, who was facing out over the beach, but didn't seem to see her. Midna reached the top and approached the person. The figure took in a breath through their nose, then turned to better face them. They looked confused, but less surprised than Midna thought they would be.
"Well, seeing as you know I'm here, I might as well introduce myself. Otherwise, it'd be a little bit odd, wouldn't it?" Midna waited for a response. The stranger said a delayed "Y3S." "Well then, my name is Midna. I would ask you yours, but we just met." Midna crossed her arms. Now that she had a closer look, the stranger wasn't any species that she knew of. They looked slightly Hyrulian but they had grey skin and horns on their head.

Rutile Twins - Sexless - Gem - Location: Field -Tags: Goro Akechi
The Rutile Twins had only heard about Earth from Steven. That's all they knew about it. "Earth? No.." right began. "Steven lives there, but.. No, we're from Homeworld," left continued. "Not Earth," right finished. The Twins wondered if Akechi came from the Earth he asked about. He looked like Steven, so they wouldn't be surprised. "You aren't from Homeworld, probably," left guessed. "You don't seem like you would be," right pointed out. Akechi's question of Earth made them wonder what earth was like. Was it anything like this place? Was it like homeworld? They didn't know. "Do you know what Earth is like, though?" left questioned and right finished, "Lars is supposed to take us there. Maybe "was" now.."

Terezi Pyrope - Female - Troll - Location: Cherry Blossom Forest -Tags: Midna
Terezi was looking out over the beach, when they caught a whiff of someone. They turned to face the person. With another quick sniff, they managed to make out what the person looked like. They were unusual, nothing like she had ever known, but Terezi kept an open mind. The humans had been a lot different too. But Terezi wondered, had this person been there for a while, or had they just come. They did nothing to justify how long they had been there, but offered up their name, upon noticing they had been noticed. Terezi agreed to hear her name. According to the person, their name was Midna, hinting to Terezi, that they were probably a girl. Midna revealed that she was curious about Terezi's name, but didn't require that of her. Terezi, just for politeness revealed her name.
