Gon, inside the radio station
Gon heard some explosions and other stuff when he got inside the station, thanks to giant Morty busting a hole in the main entrance. He nearly tripped thanks to one of them explosions...
What the?
He looked around to see if giant Morty was around since he didn't see him get in the fight. Well, he would if he didn't pay attention to the fight going on courtesy of Ghostfreak since he was looking around the station. Not like that he met the person... Besides, he did hear some of the other people fighting. No doubt they can handle GF for the meantime.

Rick shrugged when Gon objected. "You gave me the idea, man." He mimicked Gon as he walked through the large hole left by the passage of an angry Morty. "'Don't make him go back to a place where he doesn't want to go'... so I did."
He poked his head into the devastation, watching as Morty picked himself up from the debilitating electrical blast, picking bit of burnt skin off his body the way you might brush off an irritating gnat. As Two's body died and flickered away, Morty roared again and grabbed the nearest thing in the room to use as a weapon, which, in this unfortunate instance, happened to be the prone form of Caboose.
Rick shrugged.
"You probably don't know this about me but I'm what you might call a *urp* 'results-oriented' person."
Wading his way through the detritus of the radio station, Morty hefted his new bludgeon into his hand and advanced furiously on Zs'Skayr. As he did so, he ignored the conga line of purple mushrooms that danced in through the windows and the top-hat wearing crocodile who was making a very persuasive argument in favor of having Morty eat his own face, instead roaring an inarticulate challenge that didn't need any amount of multiversal translators to get the basic gist across: come on if you think you're hard enough.

THE SLORG!
"All too easy" the ghost said, hopping onto Lewis' extended hand, then made a jump and climbed his sleeve to get up to his shoulder. It remained in silence for a little bit after that. "... I think the female ghosts have nicer equipment" it then commented, as if thinking out loud.
"If he gets either of us, we'd rather you do what it takes to stop him anyway. Better to have to come back to life then let him get away with his plans" Thomas' changed voice responded to Ben. "Now, do we know where to look for him?" the young wizard then asked.
"How about where all those flying things are?!" Louie's Steven Stone voice said, his breathing a bit heavy as he was running.
The not!Legion stopped walking, but otherwise didn't make any sort of body language response to Rex, and just stood there in the same somber, brooding pose. "... Do I, know you?" it asked in its synthetic voice, vaguely sounding like multiple voices speaking at once.
Meanwhile inside the radio station, Kelsey didn't even look at Makoto. "If you're gonna fight, then act like it and stop complaining!" Kelsey yelled, already back to running towards Zs'Skayr as fast as she could, despite hobbling on one leg limping a bit. "Don't you walk away from me!" she growled, grabbing a piece of rubble from the floor and throwing it at Zs'Skayr's back. The malfunctioning of his powers was worse the closer she was to him.

"Wha?" Rex said. He wasn't sure if Yael was pulling his leg or he really didn't recognize the guy that he had tried to kill several times before.
"Ahm Wrecks" he slurred, and pointed at his jacket. "See?"
Radio Tower- You Wanna See a Fight???
This girl had some serious nerve running in and blowing everything up, and then accusing other people of not fighting. Now it was a complete mess in here and Ghostfreak was going to escape. This shouldn't have happened at all...
"Complaining?! I could've had it under control, but then you"- Makoto cut herself off with a growl, her attention shifting completely to Kelsey for a second. "Stop getting in the way!" Captain Kidd finished charging up a Ziodyne and fired again with a second loud boom, but Rean and Ghostfreak's small struggle was enough to move them both out of the way- just barely. The bolt of lightning streaked out the doorway and landed much closer to where Rex and Legion were, scarring the ground.
Captain Kidd then turned to face Kelsey as well, picking up on Makoto's annoyance with her as a reason to attack. While she was used to controlling both herself and Anat's decisions in battle, this Persona was feeding off her emotions faster than she could rationally react to them. They didn't connect as well, and so Captain Kidd did what Makoto wanted in the heat of the moment instead of what she knew she should be doing. It grinned and charged at Kelsey with a Megaton Raid, trying to ram her at full force with the brunt of the pirate ship it rode.

Dark Sun, what choices have I...?
I noticed something as the action figure climbed up; the prosthesis had no tactile sensation. Not that that was surprising in any way, it didn't look like it would, I just hadn't given it any mind before. It was kind of unsettling to notice.
As I stood again, Cascabel let out a little chirp, looking at the little unit now on the opposite shoulder from it. I rubbed a finger under its chin. "You had an okay time at least, right, little guy? Don't know if just a pot of berries is enough for you like that."
It did a tiny shrugging motion.
"Great...must be a pain suddenly having to learn to walk, huh?"
The dedenne whined.
"Well, bet you're glad for this, then. You owe me ten seconds of being cute."
An eye roll.
I took again to aimless meandering, trailing off for lack of anything to add. For a while, there wasn't any sound that I bothered to notice, before the toy soldier started talking to itself.
"...Yeah, I have no idea what that one's supposed to mean," I commented. "Something about me, or?" I started reaching for my phone, and noticed..."Huh, y'know, I still haven't checked this place out. Might as well pass through while I'm here..."
I gave it 40% odds something would go wrong per usual, but ambled into the arcade anyway. "I'm sure I won't be long, just browsing."

Gon, Rick clearly misunderstood him:
“Hey...” Gon didn’t like how Rick used his suggestion. “You could have used a better way instead of making him charge like that...”
Gon shouldered the carbine when he saw giant Morty charge at Zs'Skayr. He aimed and waited to get a good shot in.
THE SLORG!
The ghost glanced at the arcade as Lewis made his way to the doorway, and commented in an almost disturbingly enthusiastic way, "almost counts in horseshoes AND nuclear strikes!"
There weren't actually many people in the arcade at the moment; those who were there were probably Fanboys, with some particular attention around a few of the arcade cabinets. The most popular at the moment was one I Wanna Be The Guy cabinet, in which a few spectators were watching a very skilled player making his way through the levels.

Just as Herc was heading for the doorway, he could see inside where Caboose was the same muscular boy who had crashed through the wall which he now had a better look of was actually a buffed up Morty pretty much picked him up and started charging with him towards Ghostfreak as he if were a battering ram. While he was worried about Caboose’s safety considering that Morty was using him as a weapon against the alien specter but he also kind of relieved that he didn’t get have to drag him out at all. Because considering Hercules was now in Phil’s body right now it would probably take forever for him to get him out in one piece as his trainer wasn’t the strongest of beings and then a thought just surfaced into his head.
“Oh gods, if Ghostfreak sent that message to the entire city and if I remember right, Miss Tairee sent Ben away from the Library and that will mean…” He then gasped as he put two and two together. “That will mean that Ben will not have heard that message and know about Ghostfreak searching for him!” He then cried to himself
He then realized what he to do next, warn the City Knights as well Ben that Ghostfreak was nearby he then stopped heading towards the radio station and turned in the other direction towards the Library. Last time he checked both Thomas and Louie were outside so they would be the nearest to get in contact with.

After another brief pause, Cole abruptly straightened a bit, recognition dawning. "You're the one who knew Sawyer! You talk funny, I remember that." He looked up to Arcade, then held up the candy bar to offer it to him.
"My name is Arcade, actually," he corrected, annoyed, then added, "wait, what about my pants?" He wasn't sure what was more obnoxious, being called that when she knew his name, or the fact that she thought his sexuality was that important.
Cole seemed to recognize her in connection to someone else, which was good. At least he seemed more comfortable afterwards. Also, he offered the food she had given him to Arcade, which was a little confusing. Maybe he just didn't want it, which was fair enough.
Whatever the reason, he didn't need to ask or anything. He simply took the candy bar and held onto it, turning his attention back to Shenhua.
I say that aloud too sometimes, just: "man, no life."

"Aiya, you laugh at every person bad English?" Normally, Shenhua would issue a stern warning to an offender, but Cole - she recognized him now, the same way he recognized her as a friend of Sawyer - was just a kid. No need to get uppity with him. "And I know name well, yes? I just find funny."
"As for pants, rainbow is gay symbol." The maid shrugged, her tone suggesting that this was something incredibly obvious. "Pride parades full of rainbow clothes."

"It's just that it's strange that you talk that way, since the city usually fixes it so that everyone can understand each other. It didn't for a little while yesterday, but the rest of the time it can. I don't understand why it's not doing it for you."
Cole seemed quite legitimately confused by this, but also remained leaning against Arcade's side, as though a bit hesitant to get out of arm's length just yet, still clutching at the plastic bags and his jar of hazelnut.
Snowy
"Ugh..." What was he thinking, trying to punch that guy?
...Oh, right, he wasn’t.
He fumbled around for Alisa’s ARCUS, hoping that there was a Tear or some other healing Quartz loaded in there. But before he could open it up to check, he finally registered Makoto arguing with the brown haired girl. And the skeleton pirate thing was fully trained on her. What the hell was Makoto doing?
"Makoto....? Makoto, stop!" Rean shouted, though it was already too late. The pirate was already charging the other girl.

Dark Sun, what choices have I...?
I hadn't actually played a video game in a long while, thinking about it. Hell, I hadn't seen one in a while, unless you counted meeting video game characters in real life. Was about as decent an excuse as any for dicking around in this place.
There was a small crowd gathered around one of the cabinets. Too far away to see, I crept a little closer, trying to get a better view of the action.
Ok, I knew I'd seen this game before. Some kind of rage game? Even when I had the internet to turn to, those kinda blurred together in my head. VVVVVV? No, the graphics were different...wait, no, I Wanna Be the Guy. Yeah, that was it. It was weird seeing the thing on an arcade cabinet, but I figured that was just how this building worked.
Looked like the guy was on a roll. No wonder there was a crowd, between that and the game's, er, reputation. "Man, how long's he been at that?" I thought out loud.

"Why would we need a symbol?" Arcade asked Shenhua, "it's not that important." It always seemed to him to just be a part of his personality. There was nothing really to be proud of. It was like if he was proud of being blond.
Since Cole still seemed to be slightly uncomfortable, he placed a hand on his head. It was nice to be able to actually ruffle his hair. It was the Remnants's go to affectionate gesture, so that was basically what he thought of when thinking of familial affection.

"Well, not big deal. You can understand, yes? Good enough, and people back home underestimate for it. Think me's a stupid Chinky." Shenhua's grin seemed slightly feral for a moment - if nothing else, the maid's face was really good for pulling these out - before she shook her head with a chuckle. "Then they get kukri to face."
Arcade seemed to be genuinely confused about the notion of gay people having their own symbol. Now that she thought of it, he was from the radioactive wasteland. Perhaps people simply didn't give enough crap to care for orientation in a post-apocalyptic world. "They think so. Need a flag to rally to when other peoples hate them, yes?"

Cole made a bit of a face at Shenhua's response, clearly not sure of it, but he seemed to be curious about the topic between her and Arcade, tilting his head.
"Back home, my friend Dorian's father wanted to use blood magic on him because he only liked men, and his father wanted him to like women so he would have children that would be powerful mages. But no one else really minds it. People are still supposed to get married, and have children, to make their families, but no one cares who you want to sleep with."
For the Horde!
Ben looked up in confusion upon Louie talking about flying things.
"Flying things?" he asked. "What flying things?" He started looking around, then looked down at the walkie talkie again.
"Listen. If you guys have anything with fire, or light, he's—" he started to say. "Wait, he looks different now. Uh. Stay on your guard! If you see him, nail him!" He then looked at Eve. "Eve, are you gonna be all right? We should get you something to defend yourself." He dug into his bag, then grabbed one of the phasers from his bag, handing it to Eve.
"It's set on stun," he told her. "I think."
Ghostfreak glanced over at Kelsey and growled.
"If you don't cease your prattle, I will tear you apart with my bare hands!" he snarled, still moving to try and get away. The chaos that was being caused by the people trying to pursue him was starting to amuse him and he smirked a bit as he moved.
I can still hail the Horde even though the company has shamed us. Strength and Honor even if Blizzard has neither.
The conversation about Shenhua's speech patterns wasn't too interesting to Arcade. He'd seen more than enough quirks throughout his life to not even really register that there was anything too strange about her.
"Hatred like the Legion?" Arcade asked, "they would kill anyone homosexual. They only wanted people who would contribute to the Legion. I'm not sure what blood magic is, other than magic, but it sounds like a similar situation."
I say that aloud too sometimes, just: "man, no life."
THE SLORG!
Kelsey was just reaching down to grab another piece of rubble, and turned her head to yell a reply at Makoto; but whatever Kelsey had intended to yell did not come out in time before Captain Kidd slammed into her.
A thirteen year old body isn't exactly the most sturdy one, and Kelsey was pushing the limits with multiple injuries already. The body of Hermione Granger hit the floor and rolled a couple times, then laid there in a broken heap before vanishing a few seconds later.
The effects she was having on electronics did not dissipate immediately, but it would only be a few more moments until everything that didn't break could start to reset back to normal function.
Outside, Yael finally shifted his head up slightly, as if to look at Rex more directly. "Oh, Rex. Hello" Yael said in a deceivingly calm voice that did not match the simultaneous action of shifting the rifle forward. He then held the trigger down, unloading a full auto stream of futuristic weapon fire into Rex's torso at point blank.
Leaving the situation, Hercules wasn't headed for the library or to intercept Louie or Thomas just yet, since the city shifting meant that the radio station wasn't in the same place compared to the library as it was before.
One of the Fanboys at the edge of the group glanced over to Lewis, then leaned over, holding a hand up to help keep things quiet for the one playing the game. "A couple hours now. His death count still hasn't gone over two dozen" the Fanboy informed Lewis simply.

"Well, some gays want to marry other gay, or just live together, yes? Sure, some end up play pretend not to get scorned by crazies, but some don't want to." She said. Arcade mentioned something about a Legion who apparently killed every gay person they could get their hands on. "No outright kill, though those happen too. More about tormenting, yes? Public opinion powerful weapon. Out a gay kid in school and watch their life go shit in a jiffy."

Prison Cell
"And you're not predictable? Every time one of you do-gooding stiffs gets the slightest advantage, you like to lord it over like you're doing now. I've killed your man, I've wrecked your cell, and I'm going to continue to cause trouble for all of you, even if all I can do is irritate you ingrates. Now, unless you have a proposal on how to get me out of this cell, then I doubt you have anything to say to me." Riddler told Nails, actually somewhat comfortable with the militia member's new form. Monroe was from his time, after all, and though it was weird being talked to by her like she was a cop, it was nice to see a familiar face in an unfamiliar world.
Dark Sun, what choices have I...?
"Wow," I mumbled. "Never met anyone who could do something like that without at least five hours of honing their reaction time. This guy's a normal dude? Er, by most human standards."
Maybe he'd done this before. Some people had that kind of time in their lives, after all, otherwise there wouldn't be let's plays of it. Maybe he'd been practicing for the past few days, even, it's not like a lot of people in this town had anything better to do.
What was nearly as fascinating, I thought, was that someone had been around long enough to keep track.
Something soft brushed against my chin (as opposed to my palate, my mind couldn't help but note), and I noticed Cascabel too was trying to get a look at the display. Though, it seemed more of a 'what is this thing with the moving pictures' sort of fascination than the 'holy shit I'm watching some kind of gaming legend' everyone else was having.

Chinese Maid, Grocery Store - Old Faces
The kid seemed to recognize her. "Maybe we met before." Shenhua shrugged in response, opening her candy bar and getting to munching on it. The bear in rainbow pants recognized her, and his word choice in turn helped her recognize him.
"Aiya, you Mr. Gay Physician! Been a while!" The maid grinned, then looked once more at his choice of pants. "Wearing fitting pants, I see. You been doing good, yes?" The identity of a kid was still up in the air though, though Shenhua had a suspicion.
