~*~The Merry Magical Mob~*~
Lyna crawled her way back onto the porch, and thought of making a grab for her staff and retaliating, but... Shantotto (who was most certainly not as cute as she looked) clearly outmatched her. Even from that one spell, she could tell that if the two of them fought it out, it was clear she would be the one left with zero life points after it was all over.
...Besides, the others didn't seem to take kindly to Shanty's show of force, and she didn't want to stoop to her level anyway. She was better than that, after all.
"Fine then, Shan-tot-to," she said, putting an oddly venomous tone to each syllable of the other girl's name, "I was just trying to be friendly, that's all. You could've just asked nicely if you didn't like the nickname."
Mask Donald heaved a sigh and flopped down in his chair. He was very glad that was averted, since magical cat fights usually resulted in massive property damage. Note to self, be on guard around hot headed people. He carefully set down the chalice since it was still another person's property and waited for his coffee like nothing happened.

Caillou sighed as he sipped on his tea. "All of us have been picked for... something important, and you guys are spending your time fighting each other!?" The adventurer said, aggravated. "(I wonder if Moja knew what he was doing when he picked all of us.)"

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!He knew. He knew who she was. For a moment, Sheik stepped back, his blood-red eyes wide in shock -
Then he heaved a slight sigh of relief when he realized that none of the others had noticed the words of the blue being concerning his true identity. It would be problematic, to say the least, if all was uncovered. For now, she would maintain the façade. Looking up, he saw that the rest had already entered the trees, following Moja, and the Sheikah ran after them, footfalls light and steady on the foliage that covered the bed of the forest floor.
Magic… we are all beings of magic. Could that be the reason?
He had finally caught up to the group.
The situation he walked into seemed to be the aftermath of a heated altercation. Already he could sense the animosity in the air. The Sheikah stepped forwards onto the porch, with a small sigh and an expression of I knew it would come to this in his eyes. He fixed all of them with a cool gaze.
“I agree with Kribnefka and Caillou. It would be most advisable if we all cooled down,” he said.
"If we are to work effectively as a team, the first thing we must do is learn to understand each other. To get along."
“Now. Tell me, what happened here?”

"Glad to see some cooler heads prevailed." Mask Donald said, appreciating the others. "I suspect this isn't the last time such an event will happen..." He muttered for a bit, idly swinging an onion in his hand in an odd mimicry of a certain meme on the internet. He was somewhat of an otaku, so it wasn't out of place with his character, to be seemingly unconcerned whilst caring at the same time.
Always be ready to do the unusual and unexpected.Atrocitus had silently refused to even set foot on the porch of that floating house, annoyed by the sheer ridiculousness of its very existence at this point. He did overhear much of the conversations going on at that point, and judging from their thus far, he could easily tell that these nitwits were just as diverse and clashing in personalities as him and the other New Guardians.
Though only about a quarter as potentially useful. One of them, Lyn, seemed far too innocent for the possible trials ahead, the supposed "doctor" is an arrogant bitch, this Mask Donald person is likened to an idiot, and the lizard person immediately lost all trust with the Red Lantern at the words "God of Deceit". The only people that might prove worthy of respect were Koragg and Ermac, but the former was far too caught up in his own drama to see the bigger picture while the latter was merely a pawn.
His thoughts were interrupted when the sounds of conflict occurred when Shantoto suddenly attacked Lyn just because the girl gave her a bad nickname. The Red Lantern face palmed. The lack of utter lack of discipline was immediately apparent right there. Luckily the conflict was resolved peacefully, with that Sheik person coming in, thus preventing him.......
From.......intervening......
And.........
Screw it.
The floating house suddenly jerked to a stop, as if hitting something hard and immobile.
That something use Atrocitus' boot. He leaned forward towards the group, his demonic, yellow eyes looking upon the entire group with a gaze that could pierce through solid steel.
"I am willing to work with all of you for whatever task that was required to rip us all from all our various worlds, possibly universes, in order to accomplish," he said with both great maturity and a barely contained murderous intent all at once. "However, if there is any more conflict that erupts into violence for either trivial or no reason at all.....I will TEAR OUT THE RIBCAGE THE ONE THAT STARTED IT!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!!!!!" he suddenly yelled.
The then shoved the house away a few feet with immense force like a small car collision.
Atrocitus then continued to follow Moja in a huff, his immediate anger subsiding for the moment.

DAMMIT MARK, STOP HITTING HELPY!!The man held up a hand at the offer of a drink. "Not now, thank you. Perhaps later, when all this is settled."
He turned to Shantotto and Lyna, regarding each of them in turn. "I sense a certain amount of animosity still simmering between you. It is not my place to judge - but let me say this."
"If this rivalry continues, our future efforts will most certainly fall apart, no matter how hard the rest of us try. We are a team, all of us - so it would be most advisable to cool down and make up." His voice was level and soothing, and he remained standing, waiting for some sort of response. Despite his cool appearance, however, on the inside his mind was working furiously, thinking of some way to help them make up if this measure failed.
This probably won't work. What will I do next?
Then, completely unexpectedly, the house flew backwards with a jerk, causing him to fly backwards into a shelf with a surprised grunt. Instinctively, he held out a hand, hoping to steady the structure before someone got hurt -
Slowly, the building ground to a halt before righting itself.
Sheik raised an eyebrow, lowering his hand and getting to his feet. "Well."
"It seems that Atrocitus isn't pleased with your behaviour. I will go speak to him." He walked to the door, an expression of complete calm on his face, but not before turning to the two and giving one last reminder.
"Consider my words. After all, he does have a good reason to be annoyed at you - though the action was probably unnecessary." With that, he threw something at the ground - then promptly disappeared in a flash of light and a puff of smoke.

Magic
Caillou continued drinking his tea when suddenly, the house flew backwards a bit, knocking Caillou down to the floor and spilling his tea. This did not help his mood. He had half a mind to go out there and spray a Sparkburst in Atrocitus' face when he stopped them. However, the red lantern then made an angry rant over the stupid behavior that happened in the home. That guy needed to calm down. "(That's not the way I would have handled things, but I think it got the point across.)" He thought, rubbing his head and getting back up and sitting down. "I'll... take some more tea."
He took the time to note down his observations of his fellow magic folk. Shantotto seemed to be a reckless, rhyming, arrogant witch who got annoyed over trivial things. Then again, someone as short as her being unreasonable was to be expected. Best not to irritate her. Lyna seemed rather airheaded given how she instigated the fight in the first place. Though she seemed innocent. Koragg seemed to be reasonable, but was waaaayy to attached to the ancient code of honor or some crap like that. Plus he seemed to be way too aggressive. Ermac... was strange to say the least. Caillou needed to observe him, or rather them more. A hive mind it seemed, but a reasonable one though. Donald seemed to be one of the cooler heads in the group, if a bit awkward and creepy. Kribnefka was strange, and almost had Caillou's trust, until he mentioned that he was the God of Deceit. "(I need to be careful around him.)" Didn't seem that deceitful though, but it pays to be cautious. Now Sheik was someone who had his respect. He was rather level headed and seemed to know the consequences of things, and thought things through. Caillou was glad to know that not all of the group members were idiots or unreasonable. Atrocitus though... yeah, he needed to learn how to CALM THE HELL DOWN. Angering him was an inevitability, considering how everything seemed to make him berserk. Scratch that. He seemed to be ALWAYS berserk. Caillou wondered how the group would get anything done.
"I think someone needs to learn the definition of anger management." Caillou remarked as he waited for his tea.

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!When Sheik teleported right next to him, Atrocitus was completely unfazed. "You agree with me that this so called 'team' is severely lacking discipline, then?" he asked the ninja. "Those fools needed a sharp dose of reality, and better for it to come now rather than in the middle of battle. And if you're here is reprimand me for kicking that house, then save your breath. It was either that, or outright burning it down......"
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HITTING HELPY!!"Aiya... My sixth sense tells me people are already likening me to an idiot." Mask Donald said, hanging his head in shame. Nevertheless, for the luxury of my happy days, I must put up with them. He took some tea and sips it through the hole in his mask. Whilst he had been judged, he had also learned the temperaments of everyone else, being a lot smarter than most people took him for. He knew now what to avoid, and how to act. He was always perceptive of things outside of the romantic spectrum. In fact, the mask preserved his goofy image by not revealing his sharp Eyes of Gold...

Always be ready to do the unusual and unexpected.Koragg gave everyone he saw a quick scan. The kid seems to be fine. He then looked towards the ninja. Had they formed an official team, no doubt that he would be leader. Though he wasn't as brash as the Red Mystic Ranger that he faced. Speaking of red, Koragg looked towards the red ninja. Another strange being. Always refers to itself as "we" and not I. A quirk he would worry about later. Mask Donald was the weird one to Koragg. He didn't make any lasting impressions on him to make sure of it. The dinosaur he knew not to trust. Lyna and her pet, like the kid, were fine. Then there was the angry man. Who ever this guy was and what kind of magic he had confused the hell out of Koragg. When he tried to sense his magic, all he could hear is the angry screams of thousands of people. Not the most pleasant of sounds. This was one Ragtag Bunch of Misfits Koragg got himself into.
Indeed, Sheik had reappeared next to Atrocitus, walking alongside him coolly and with even strides, undaunted by his fearsome appearance and looking straight ahead. “Perhaps you are right,” he said slowly. He had to deal with this in a way that would not offend him. He seemed very easily offended. “Their actions had proved aggravating, and you wished to make a clear point – that such petty behavior was unnecessary.”
“Am I right? It certainly seems that way.” Sheik paused for a moment, before continuing. “Whether true or not, it does not matter. I would like to let you know that I take no sides in this matter. I merely do what is best to keep the peace. Which brings me to my point.”
“Kicking the house may have seemed necessary to you, but to the rest your action was disconcertingly disruptive and petty. They will find it hard to work with you from now on.” He stopped again, taking a deep breath, before proceeding to make his next point.
“I sense great rage in you. Anger at the very heart of your being. I will not ask you to tame that rage, for I know that you cannot. However, I do ask you to limit such destructive behavior in the future. They already distrust you. Another outburst like that would shatter our team completely. Please. Use words, not violence to get your point across – if such a point must be made at all.”
“You do not have to heed my advice. I force it on no-one. However, it would be best if you did – for the sake of our team, and the sake of our mission. None of us can do this alone. Not even you. Moja himself made that very clear. Consider my words.”
With that, the Sheikah took a step back, before disappearing in another flash of light and smoke, to reappear in the house. He hoped he had gotten his point across. Hoped.
Ermac would hear a voice in their collective mind. "You must excuse my behaviour," it said. "I did not have time to speak to you - the being known as Atrocitus is very short-tempered, it seems, and would not appreciate interruption in any form. But if you must know, I have absolutely no inkling of what a "ninja" is. I am the last of an ancient race, guardians of the Royal Family of my land - the Sheikah. I have trained in their secret arts. That is all I am."
"Tell me. What are these ninjas like?" To the rest on the porch, it would seem that Sheik was merely standing still, looking at nothing in particular, eyes far away.

"It doesn't." Sky told Suzaku. "We've been taken to some place and we're going to work together..."
He summarized to the Japanese before he heard Spider-Man's roll call.
"Allow me to introduce myself. Sky Tate of the Space Patrol Delta's Earth Branch." Sky then executed the SPD salute, clenching his right hand into a fist over your left shoulder before he moved it over where his heart was. "Police officer cadet assigned to the anti-Troobian Empire task force."

"Ninjas are warriors," we informed Sheik, "specializing in stealth and kombat. Some are assassins. Others are mercenaries. A few, such as ourself, are warriors for the forces of good. Some ninjas have powers beyond mere men, while others are merely so skilled that it appears they can move in a blur and swap places with logs. We, for one, are a telekinetic, teleporting, hado-energy tossing ninja. We're sorry have to say this aloud where it looks like we're babbling whilst you ignore us, but for all our power we are not telepathic."
J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!Sherlock scowls slightly at the ask for a roll call, but the man seemed smarter than average, so he obliged, "Well, my name is Sherlock Holmes. I'm from England. I'm a Consulting Detective with the London police force. You, you're an American, from New York, if I'm not mistaken. You're married, right?"
Spider-Man squees. "I fell for a Sherlock Scan! This day just became amazing! I always knew Sherlock was good but that's amazing!"
Sky raised an eyebrow at Spider-Man.
"Well if you were assigned to the task force, you'll realize that the Troobian Empire doesn't want peace, except for the complete subjugation of the Earth. My other job, aside from conducting anti-Troobian investigations and arrests, includes the monitoring of lawful alien immigrants living on Earth."

"We do not like being called Ermy," we said, "but we don't attack people for not calling us Ermac." We levitated her higher still. "Now. Put. Her. Down. "
