Halsei: <Costumes? Drinks? Uh...>

They seem more confused than anything at the moment by the sudden shifts in tone and topic, but continue to try and act innocuous as this is happening.

Pollen: <Well, duh! Who else would I be talking about?>

-grumpily- <Our little "drama club" just up and ditched us, and we had half the team we should've for trying not to die in a freaking hell-dimension.>

(-airquote motions with whatever passes for fingers on a bee fly-)

-mutter- <While we're talking about forgiveness, I'll need some pointers. It's been bugging me.>

Megan:

-...-

Vee: <So, comin' back t' the salien' point here, should we be doing anything about the fact yer soul's been cleft in thrain or what, Ever?>

Megan: what

Pippy: <We also need to find a better wall to shoot ourselves at.>

<Through. Just to clarify.>

-Logan and Megan were totally here with Pollen's patron moon Legend the whole time, Logan in their stolen Mobius Employee uniform and Megan in inexplicably inconspicuous full scale mail, glancing around like a confused, terrified baby Buneary-

Megan: -clutching her trident to herself like a Vaporeon stuffy- Why is no one noticing us

Vee: -resting her chin on Megan's head and otherwise wrapped around her neck like a scarf, curls up a little tighter to remind herself Megan's still alive-

Logan: -eating a [Pop-Tart], to Ever- Neat trick.

-and they grin at Pleth-

-Mod-

Megan: -stifled yelp- Never mind this is not better

-and she hides behind Logan, who is a foot shorter-

-Logan puts on their most winning smile and moves up-

Logan: -cheerfully- Does something seem to be the issue?

Stormchaser, Megan's room, whenever

Ever: Drama...club?

-they frown, trying to remember Megan's other mons-

...Oh. Right.

Well, uh, the thing about forgiveness is it's cyclical. It's hard for you to let go of a grudge, because you yourself want some kind of external castigation for what you did. But the sooner you let go of that need, the sooner you'll be able to realize that your teammates almost certainly did what they thought was best at the time, and are quite likely no more capable of turning around now than you were.

Stormchaser, hull, whenever

Ever: Nothing to be done, really. Just keep an eye out for someone like me, but in green.

...Not Brie, to clarify.

And I suggest using a forest. Plenty of obstacles there, less chance of running into pre-existing dimensional nonsense.

Muninn: <Don't act like you know.>

Ever: If you knew what I know at any given time, Muninn, you'd still be alive.

Mobius Ship Cafeteria, now

Ever: (still in that expressionless tone) You should see what I can do with a pack of cards.

-Pleth elbows them-

Pleth: <No making us look bad in front of the ranger!>

-she winks at Logan, which is kind of weird since she lacks eyelids-

- Ever meanwhile, shifts back as Logan speaks, while Brie cautiously reaches for a ball as unobtrusively as she can-

-PEFE!Every doesn't really do anything. She's mostly here to poke around and pick up some things, anyway-

Mobius mobile base, cafeteria

-Channah is examining some strange food items and ignores the mod-

Mobius Base, Cafeteria

Milagros would jump at the sound of the moderator's voice.

Mobius Mobile Base, Cafeteria

-Ian's body stiffens, as if standing at attention-

Me: -whispers to Mahina- Um... Mahina...? If a high-ranking member of the Mobius Society were standing right behind us... you'd tell us, right?

mobile carrier cafeteria

-Kat, who was in the middle of stuffig her face with food...

...Continues to do so. Cady and Lila casually turn around.-

Cady: Is something going on?

Mobile Base Cafeteria

Mobius Moderator: ...Do you all know where the bathroom is? I just got transferred here.

Cosmic Latte Cafe

Robin: Gaius... How... I thought you were dead!

Gaius: So did I! There were Risen everywhere and you were an evil dragon god and then that Zinnia girl saved me and mentioned something about space and time travel and me being in a weird pocket monster world now but didn't explain any of it.

Robin: ...I guess... I could?

Gaius: Try me, Bubbles.

-Robin sits down. There is an akward silence.-

mobile base cafeteria

Cady: Looks like we're in a similar situation then. A lot of us are new around here too.

Kat: Yeah!

Mobius Base, Cafeteria

Milagros: Mmhm.

Mobile Base Cafeteria

Me: That's right!

-...-

Pollen: -grumbly- <...mrrrrrglrglrgl.>

<Okay, I get what you're saying.>

-ugh- <And I have...stuff, to work on, and now I know it's all connected.>

-pout- <But I'm still mad.>

Lapis: -makes a stabby motion- bWAH!

-and repeats it, going in a circle- bwah, bwah, bwah

Pollen: -folding her arm-things- <Yes I got that.>

Pippy: -to Muninn- <...ow.>

-consolingly, which this Ever doesn't seem to be- <...hey, at least you seem to've got a second chance, right?> ^v^

Vee: <Noted!>

-sparkly-eye'd, grinning gleefully- <An' then do we smack 'em unconscious an' stuff 'em in a bag?>

Pippy: -makes some appropriately conscientious-objection noises-

-and waits for a reply-

Megan: Oh, forest! Then we just have to turn around...

-Megan starts pulling more vials out of her pockets-

Megan: -muttering- okay, maybe the ungalvanized stuff...

Logan: -sparkling magnanimously- Certainly!

-shaking their head- I swear, this ship changes its hallways every time I come through...

-and they walk off in a random direction, hoping to intuit where a bathroom would be based on a little familiarity with the Stormchaser and its spacial weirdnesses-

-alternately, they're just winging it, and hope to zap this Moderator into paralysis in the first conveniently shadowed alcove they come across-

Megan: -staring- ...

-...probably not-

Mobile Base Cafeteria

-Just takes a bagel-

After all the trouble they've given us for the past almost two years this is the least I could take from them.

Chateau

-To the maid-

The best Halloween parties are surprises.

Someone better be willing to do a sneak attack if necessary...

Stormchaser, Megan's Room, whenever

Ever: It's okay that you're mad. You can tell them that, when they're back.

But if there are other feelings, you shouldn't keep those down either.

Arc: <Mine!>

Ever: Whose?

Stormchaser, Hull

Ever: -wry grin- That is precisely what you should do, Vee, yes.

Muninn: <Good luck with your experiments!>

Ever: Muninn, was that a sentiment I heard?

Muninn: <I always support the advancement of science.>

Mobile Base, Cafeteria

-Confused, the Moderator follows Logan-

-They seem to be headed to the conference room-

Cosmic Latte Cafe

Gaius: So let me get this straight. After nearly everyone died some dragon from this world saved your soul by mostly separating it from Grima's, you've been running around here dealing with your regrets and also befriending the local people and collectible murderbeasts, and suddenly people from our side of the multiverse have been falling out of the sky en-masse as the aforementioned collectible murderbeasts for reasons not related to either of us.

Robin: Yes.

Gaius: -sighs- Hoo boy.

-He sips his salted caramel mocha frappuchino-

This is more sugar than coffee but it's just what I need right now.. Anyway first off can I see one of those collectable murderbeasts?

Robin: They're called Pokemon, and hold on...

-sends out Winston-

Winston: <...Friend of yours?>

Gaius: ...Gotta admit that's the weirdest sheared sheep I've ever seen.

Winston: <HEY!>

mobile base cafeteria

Lila: <I think we should follow them.>

Cady: Come on Kat, someone's showing us where the bathrooms are!

-They follow Logan and the moderator.-

Mobius Cafe

When the mod revealed what he was there for, Colton couldn't help but chuckle. When the mod walked off, he couldn't help but chime "have a nice day".

Chateau d'Avarice

Rage and Love shifted uncomfortably as the party spent more time blocked off by the maid. Mercury and Camazotz alike screamed at him to do something, but he couldn't bring himself to do anything too forward.

"Do you want to keep your mistress waiting?" He muttered, loud enough the party could hear it but not loud enough the maid could discern what was said.

Pollen: -stare- <...other feelings?>

-by that tone of voice, one would think she hasn’t consciously felt anything other than rage for some time-

-...-

Lapis: -holding out her hands, like “come on”- ...bwah.

-...yeah, I wouldn’t trust that tone-

Vee: -utterly thrilled, grinning- <Got it~>

Pippy: <Thank you very much!> ^v^

Megan: -vials- —ten, eleven, twelve...

-rummaging- ...maybe a couple more.

-trying to balance them all in her arms- And here...we...

-with some expertly disguised wall-sourced trepidation, the vials uncork themselves and the trio are doused in immaterial aqueous energy-

-this forms into what looks like the lineart layer of a spaceship, if the reference material was sourced from a cat blog for crossbreeds between submersibles and UFOs-

-notably, they’re facing ‘’away’’ from the Stormchaser and into the forest around it-

Megan: -at least mildly concerned- Go! :D

-and the shape collapses in on itself, and they’re gone, in a ripple of space and spray-

(-several seconds later, a ‘’thump’’ sounds somewhere in the deep brush-)

(-they’re fine-)

Megan: -worriedly, trying to peer down the hall after them- ...should we...keep going?

Vee: -eyeballs Green!Ever, plottingly-

-the Moderator's guide walks on, confident and sure-

Logan: -internally- fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

-externally- I saw one somewhere around here...meetings, you know. Always drag on forever...

-they try to find a corner to lead them around, not headed to a potentially busy and distinctly un-toileted conference room-

So, what made you want to transfer to this floaty piece of our new universe?

-at the same time, in the blind spot created by their person, they try to pull out their Styler and draw a Sign◊, very small, on the leg of their pants-

-easily- Tired of old scenery?

-attempting to conceal the whoosh of suddenly displaced air with a passing vent-

-not especially noticing that their distraction had picked up a tail-

-their distraction’s distracting, so they might take that as a good sign, if they weren’t, well-

-distracted-

Mobius mobile base

Channah: -notices the Styler and huffs quietly- ...?

Mobile Base, Mahina's Group

-Logan discovers there are no corners-

-The entrance to the conference room is looming closer and closer, ominously-

-There is also no sound coming from within-

Cosmic Latte Cafe

Gaius: So are they all freaky sheep or...?

Winston: <You take that back!> -crackles with electricity-

Robin: Winston no. Uh, no. Some are dragons, like I said - I train dragons and Winston here can be a dragon in his alternate form. Others are ghosts, fairies, bugs, plants, on fire... Basically they usually resemble an animal, plant, inanimate object, or even kind of food but can use elemental powers and-

Gaius: Woah, wait, back up, Bubbles. You said some of them look like food?

Robin: ...Yes why?

Gaius: ...Do any of them look like sweets?

Robin: ...Yes?

Gaius: ...

-leans forward in his seat- Can I see?

Robin: -sighs and pulls up a picture of Alcreamie-

Gaius: ...

-gives an extremely uncharacteristic squee-

It's ADORABLE

-Winston headtilts-

Mobius Mobile Base Cafeteria (before following the Mod)

Me: -whispers to Cady- I don't know... I have a feeling that we might be being led into a trap...

Mobius Mobile Base Hallway, With Mahina's Group

-Ian follows Mahina and the Mod down the hallway to the conference room-

Me: -thinks to self- Hearing boss music is something that would usually happen right around now... but... Why do I NOT hear boss music?

-no words to work with-

Logan: ...

-urgency increases-

Logan: Did I come from the wrong side of the ship? Well, it should be through this way.

-and they (uncap the end of their Styler) usher the Moderator through the door of this surely unoccupied conference room-

Addie: -on Logan's shoulder, scampers to the shoulder closer to the Mod-

-glances back at the party-

Mobius Base, Mahina’s Group

Milagros would follow at the back of the group, slightly nervous. Lance, dressed as a Mobius grunt like everyone else, would catch up with the group too.

Mobile Base, Hallway

-Pent remains quiet as Lily lets out a Magnemite and gives it the phone-

Lily Thane: Gonna have to resort to my usual for daydrinking but m'right. Pan, remember to use Facial Recog so my face doesn't end up all blurry.

-She smiles towards the phone being held by the Magnemite as she stands next to the entire group-

Lily Thane: On three; one, two... Three!

Mobius Base, w/ Mahina

Colton also hung to the back, looking around at his surroundings in curiosity, also somewhat focused on keeping his illusory getup tangible.

To others, it would appear as though he simply had his arms crossed behind his back. In one hand was his phone, which wasn't on but was being nervously flipped around.
