Kareena: Welcome aboard!
Kareena: I can't wait to get started!
Kareena: Luckily the location of the first clue is really close by! We can even sleep in the room tonight! I can't promise that's how it will be for the rest of them but...Hey! At least it starts off easy!
-kareena pulls out her vellum map once more-
-well, it's less a map and more a piece of a map-
-on it is the room, drawn with charcoal, a sketch of the forest, and a drawing of the lake as well-
-the lake is drawn in such a way that shows the general topography of the bottom of it, with an x sitting square in the middle of it-
Kareena: We're going swimming!
All our wishes can come trueI am, as my people called it-
The Zenith Of All Ahxenites.
The most powerful of them, and the one that will never be surpassed by another of my kind.
This is important because... the prophecy, shared by all our ancient civilisations, said that when I would be born- Ahxen would fall.
No-one knew when it would happen, but everyone knew what the signs would be.
And it just so happened that my birth was what they believed.
The beginning of Ahxen's Doomsday.
Naturally, as most life does, they tried to figure out a method of survival. Averting catastrophe.
Kill me as a child, so I can't become strong enough to destroy the world. That failed, so my childhood was a life of luxury and appeasement.
I won't destroy the world if I never want to, can I?
Yet I learned of the prophecy, because of how everyone looked at me in fear. It made me wonder why.
Then when I asked them of what I could do to ease their fears... they told me to leave.
Just in time for the sun to strike them down while I was away.

-They can stay here for the night...? Good... Ai can go tell Misaki that someone needs to make sure Young Aichi is taken care of...-
-...And she can say goodbye to everyone...-
-...Wait, swimming?!-
"I-I'm not a good swimmer...!"
-Aww, crud. She's nervous now.-

-...That's horrible.-
-Killing Xenos would have done nothing. The prophecy stated it was his birth, not his growth, that spurred the events into motion.-
-Even if they by some chance killed him, the prophecy would have continued, assuming it was true.-
"...They should not have done that."
-...Absolutely redundant to say, but it's all he can say at the moment.-

The damned queen and the relentless knight.Kareena: Alright! Oh, and one last thing...
Kareena: where I come from, it's not too unusual for people to burst into song at opportune moments. Don't worry if you don't know the words, the background music will still kick in.
-cricket chirps-
Joker: ...I'm sorry...what. (now he looks just, SUPER offended...and disgusted)
Voltaire: Hey! I can play an instrument!
Joker: Do not encourage her
Kareena: Really? Awesome! Well then I think we should give our new crew mates here a little example!
-oh my god...you start to hear PIANO from somewhere-
-Joker looks terrified-
-Blade smiles slightly, and Kareena gives a big grin-
All our wishes can come trueAnyways, 108.
Now that I've depressed you with my origins, I need to go get myself a pizza... probably at the mall.
So Ciao!
-he casually starts walking off, immediately descending from the roof in the quickest way possible: jumping off of it-
-landing on the ground gracefully, though with a little bit of dust kicking up-

-...People randomly bursting into song...?-
-Ai doesn't really like the idea of singing in front of people... Eep!-
-W-Whoa, wait, an example?!-
-She looks nervous now.-
"I-I don't know if I'm up to this...!"
-She does like to sing, but not in front of people!-
-...Homura, Sayaka... is that a female Aichi?!-
Cannot recall if either of them met Ai.

Outside (Near The Woods) (Reborn Aichi)
-He's still looking around this strange place, having calmed down a bit...-
-...It's so odd... There really was all sorts of food in the refrigerator, there was an endless hallway filled with rooms upstairs...-
-It's dumbfounding to him, but surprisingly he's taking it very well.-
-For now he's getting a good idea of the outside area... Since it seems he's going to be stuck here...-
-...He hopes Big Sister Suiko, Big Sister Kourin, and Big Sister Rekka aren't worrying about him...-
-But still, even if he's worried about that, he seems to remain strangely calm for his age.-
-A lot of kids his age would probably freak out.-
-He's always been like that... Able to take weird things weirdly well for his age...-
-...He doesn't even understand it himself... He knows he should be freaked out, but he isn't...-
-That's what freaks him out. The fact that he's not freaked out.-
-...? There's someone coming out of the forest...-
-He simply watches from a fair distance away.-
-The red-haired girl can see a small boy with blue hair not too far off. He's just looking her over.-

-ITS TOO LATE AI THIS IS HAPPENING-
-Voltaire starts playing a tune on her demon fiddle instrument-
Kareena: Light at the end of the slumber
life at the close of the sleep
facing the world with a hunger
clambering out of the deep
-she hoists up her backpack of items and starts marching towards the lake, with Blade and Voltaire quickly following behind-
Kareena: Blank slate, a trip to begin
look to tomorrow
clean plate, a fresh little wind
a road top follow!
-she has a really nice voice honestly...it's sweet but it's clear there's some real power behind it-

-Whoa... She's a really good singer...!-
-...Ack! They're going without her!-
"A-Ah, wait for me...!"
-She's about to start following after them, when she's approached by Sayaka and Homura.-
"O-Oh, um... No, I've been here for a while..."
-Since March...-
-...Ack! She's got to catch up!-
"I-I'm sorry, but I'm with them... W-We're about to go try to find some treasure..."
-She starts trying to catch up with them.-
-She's not particularly fast though.-

Outside (Near the Forest) (Reborn Aichi)
-Aichi kind of lowers his head at being acknowledged.-
-...She wants to know if there are any mechanics around here...?-
-He doesn't really know... He only showed up here today...-
-He's also rather shy (and quiet) so all she gets is a head shake in response.-
-Nope, the boy hasn't seen any mechanics.-

Backyard -> Woods
Sayaka: Treasure? Homura, you think she's got a treasure map?
Homura: A map, at least.
(The two end up tagging along after the Wulf Gang via Ai. Then Kareena finds them.)
Homura: (greeting nod) Hello, Ms. Kareena.
Sayaka: Uh, hey. (seems kinda nervous/awkward for a moment)
Homura: We were told you were looking for treasure of some kind?
Front Yard
Girl: Aw... (emerges from the tall grass - she's wearing a green and white dress, which doesn't really fit the decor of her safari hat) Maybe I could call someone from a phone? Is there a phone inside I could borrow?

-Ack, she didn't mean to make them stop for her...-
"I-I'm sorry..."
-Ai then gets a sheepish expression.-
-Now that they've stopped to let her catch up she can try to explain some...-
"Kareena is leading us to find some treasure from her world. She even has a map!"
-Well, Ai seems to believe in the map at least.-

Outside (Near Forest) (Reborn Aichi)
-Um...-
"...I-I just got here a bit ago..."
-Holy crud, quiet child. That was very quiet (On par with Young Aichi when he's at his quietest (Barring special circumstances)...-
"...W-We can check..."
-He didn't see one, but that doesn't mean there isn't one...-
-After all, if there is one then he can try to call home...-

Sayaka: Ooooh! Sounds mysterious.
Homura: Where did the map come from?
Front Yard
Redhead: (slight head-tilt to her left) Oh, you don't know? Well, let's go check then! (goes up to Raichi, takes his hand and sorta guides/drags him towards the house) What's your name?
The damned queen and the relentless knight.Kareena: It's my father's map, he was a famous pirate! You're welcome to come along and help us find his trove!
Kareena: Everyone gets an equal share at the end of the trip, I just want us all to have fun!
Kareena: According to the map, my father hid his treasure somewhere in this world! I think he probably didn't know this wasn't part of Fantasia, but here I am anyway!
Kareena: The second part of the map is at the bottom of the nearby lake! I...don't know how we're gonna get there, but nothing will stop us!
Voltaire: I'm Volta, this is my Uncle J, we came along for the ride from Gotham. Like a greed demon and a prince of crime is gonna turn down treasure!
-greed demon? I suppose that does explain the horns and golden/purple eyes-
-Blade just tips his hat to the two-
All our wishes can come trueOutside (With Kareena) (Ai)
-Aichi nods along with Kareena until she hears the 'greed demon' part.-
-Voltaire's a demon?!-
-That makes her more nervous...-
-But she simply tries to keep it to herself and looks over at Homura and Sayaka.-
"I-I'm Aichi Sendou... or, um... I've been going by Ai here..."
-Yep, another Aichi... Although she's the second oldest one you guys have seen (She's physically 17, but she's still around Amnesiac Aichi's height).-
-She gives them a small smile.-
"W-Would you guys like to join us?"
Front Yard -> Front Door
Redhead: Ah-ah-itchy-tat-sue-nay-gi, huh? That's a mouthful of a name! (Did she seriously just mush the entire thing into one long word?) You can call me Val.
(They reach the front door, and Val reaches up to open it before stopping halfway, her free hand curling into a fist and her face curling in wonderment.)
Val: Hmm. I should probably knock before just going in, shouldn't I?
Backyard
Homura/Sayaka: The lake?
Sayaka: We were just about to go there ourselves, actually! Wanted to test out something.
Homura: Quite convenient.
(Kareena's man-tourage introduce themselves, to which the meguca greet back after a moment to digest their appearance.)
Homura: (polite greeting nod) Homura Akemi.
Sayaka: I'm Sayaka Miki. I guess you guys are with her, huh?

The damned queen and the relentless knight.Kareena: Awesomeness!
-she crosses her arms and shakes both their hands at once in a very Wonderland-y way-
Kareena: Welcome aboard the crew of the Wulf Pack! That's out team name!
Kareena: We're all friends here!
-Blade steps forward and hands them both a flag/bandanna. The flag is black with a pink pawprint on it and crossed bones underneath-
Blade: This is our symbol.
Kareena: I came up with it! Joker let me trace his paw as reference.
-she smiles at the chimera-joker-
-he just looks at the ground-
Voltaire: yeah, we're with Kareena. Don't mind Uncle J, he's just grumpy about being a kitty cat.
Joker: No, I'm grumpy that I have to be a nice kitty cat.
Voltaire: ..yeah, that. We're bad guys back where we come from soooo...it's a bit of an adjustment.
-Volta shrugs-
Kareena: You ready to be pirates?
All our wishes can come trueIn Front of the Room (Reborn Aichi)
-Blink, blink.-
-What the heck did she just do to his name?-
-...-
-...It doesn't really matter...-
-He gets a sheepish expression not unlike his older counterparts.-
"...N-Nice to meet you... Um... Just call me Aichi please..."
-When they reach the door he gets a bit of a perplexed expression upon being asked that.-
-He met a girl named Lily in there, but she was the only person he saw... also he appeared right inside...-
-It's clear that this place is extremely weird right from the start...-
-...Although, thinking about it... He shouldn't have been snooping around to begin with...-
-This place has to belong to someone, and he doesn't want to be rude...-
"...Y-Yeah... We probably should..."
