Eve approach the duo, hands tucked behind her back. Brainwashing is probably difficult to pull off in the Arena, so she knows that she'll have to be patient and wait her cue. You know, food of that sort is loaded with sugar, I'd be careful if I were you!
Since she knows that such a remark is unlikely to make her popular though, she then switch subjects. Say, weren't those people back then awfully unreasonable? I don't think that an adult should be bullying a child. You could've gotten pretty hurt being thrown like that. And you too. She says, now looking at Rumia.
... Oh, and yes, Onyxis is around this pizzaplex. I do not understand how there could be so many people in it given this but, ah, perhaps the pizza is simply very good?
...
It's a place called "The Arena"; It's a bit hard to describe but many people from many worlds end up there. You don't need to fight though! It apparently used to be a more violent place beforehand. I don't know why they'd even keep it but... ah, maybe it's because it can still be a bit dangerous elsewhere.
There's no one around here, but at least it's warm and comfortable in there. Plus, if she checks (although the vehicle is fine with her staying still), there's medicinal kits for humanoids, in white lockers scattered around the place. Some are as deceptively simple, being healing needles or other soft sci-fi means of healing, while others down below are probably more in-line with her world's take on medicinal science.
The aircraft is "speaking" from an interphone booming over the door leading to the rest of the plane, and the cockpit.
Healing your leg could be difficult even with these. I can get you to an hospital for that though! What's your name? I'm Orbit.

Aniyah slumps back in her seat, slowly looking around the plane before simply letting out a sigh as she pulls her helmet off."...the Arena, huh. Alright. Name's Aniyah. Aniyah Sauto."
Her voice is more tired than anything right now. One might notice a needle in her suit's emergency port, which she slowly pulls out. It was a pretty powerful painkiller, good for her broken leg... but now that her adrenaline rush is over, the full toll of her body's various wounds and bloodloss hits hard. She slumps back into the seat, her eyes half-lidded.
"Man... I'm real damn lucky that you showed up, huh..."
aeiou: the second"... right. So, uh Gensy-what? Is that even English, lady?", Ken asks, eyebrows raised. He doesn't comment on any of the rest she says, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about it. Specifically the amnesia thing. He'd probably go nuts if he ended up somewhere unknown without his memories. At least he has those here, even if he doesn't know where the heck this Pizzaplex is.
He then looks at the direction Rumia points at and starts following, continuing to walk even as Eve catches up and starts talking to them too.
"Pfft, I can handle sugar.", he says, amused. He plucks a leaf off of a plant that they pass, pulls the 'leaf' parts off of it to leave only the stem, then puts that stem in his mouth to serve as a makeshift twig before putting his pants in his pockets.
"I'm tough, I could'a handled it.", he says. "I've been through way more dangerous things that some lame-os throwing me across the room. Heck, next time I can just do it to them! If they think they scared me off they'll be in for a huge surprise."
He then shrugs.
"I've tasted better pizza than this massive joint has to offer. Doesn't mean it's bad here, but still. At least the pizza is cheaper here than it is back home. What's with these weird names though? 'Gensy-something'? 'Onyxis'? "
He then seems to remember something and looks at the both of them.
"By the way, aren't there supposed to be entertainer robots in this place? The only one that seems to fit the bill is some purple hippo and from what I can tell the only thing he does is nag."
[["Reminds me of HER. 'Little miss church girl'. She nags all the time too, but at least that girl sometimes knows when to stop, unlike the hippo!"]]
You know Ken, maybe complaining about a stereotypical 'girls nag on' thing around two women isn't going to help improve people's opinions of you.
... well, to be fair, those were just his thoughts, he didn't say that out loud. But Rumia and Eve will still be able to hear it, as apparently, somehow, and completely on accident, he broadcasted those thoughts to them. They'll be able to perfectly hear them as if he had said them out loud.
[["... kinda miss her to be honest. Him too. But there's no way in hell I'll ever let them know THAT! They'd just mock me for it, make fun of me. 'Oh, Ken, you DO care about people other than yourself! You big softie, you! Now we just gotta wait to see pigs fly so that we'll know the world is coming to an end!' Idiots, both of them. Why are we friends again? ... oh, yeah, right. Hmph."]]
Okay, so he apparently does have some good to him, how else would he have friends at all? That good is just hidden under many, many layers of immaturity and bratty behavior.

"Oh Gensokyo's in Japan." Rumia says, thinking that explains it perfectly. As he brags about being dead 'ard Rumia nods as well. "A big elephant thing hit me once and I was fine. Though I uh... lost control I think."
She's still not quite sure when that happens but she's starting to assume any time she blacked out and woke up to a threat eliminated that it probably happened. She's not super smart but she's not that dumb.
"The pizza's nice, though I haven't had any before recently." Rumia comments. "Oh and I've seen some other gole- robots around! The gator one is my favorite. The bear looks a bit lame though."
Her reasoning of course is which one looks more like a wild animal and killing machine.
She tilts her head but declines to comment on his not so inner monologue, instead spotting the food stall up ahead and wanting to get a refill herself.

Once Emma enters the Sith Academy, she's already physically recovered from the previous fight and recharged parts of her reserve, but she's mentally not in the right place. She briskly walks straight forward in the hallway, with Laxin's presence just making her pick up the pace while possibly lapping Starbird thanks to how recklessly she's running in.

realEve raises an eyebrow but doesn't take his comment the wrong way. Because she's more concerned about his thoughts leaking. If they leak to her with no input, they could probably be leaked to Rumia. And if Rumia hears his thoughts being rewritten or going blank, she could get suspicious.
Eve goes silent for a moment, pondering about this. Her own thoughts she very usually keep shielded with generic niceties, so she isn't afraid about anything leaking out.
But she doesn't really care about him having friends. He was rude to strangers, so he still needed a brain boot.
I wouldn't know. I don't like... "pizzas". It's bad for one's health.
She then glances at him, after initially looking to the side. Onyxis is a part of this world. It's a bit scary to know you ended up here but there's better places ahead. Anywhere barren is... ah, there's no wildlife, but there are simpletons who fight to their heart's contents in these places, with expectedly tragic collateral damage! At least, they aren't fighting anywhere more civilized, I guess...
She should really go and see if she can't "fix" their brains too, she ponders. Their battles were terrifyingly powerful after all! What were the odds they wouldn't spill out into better lands?
...
Plagia flicks her fingers, and two golden hologram arrows leave the chain and sponge to form a unified price tag. Which is pretty cheap all things considered.
Well, this is a nexus. I'll take anything you've got so long as it isn't from a destroyed world, toxic, sentient or cursed. She raises her hands invitingly. But Gold Coins are.. what I'm used to, I'd say.
A lot of gold coins. Marie says to thee side, annoyed.
...
Yes! But thankfully, I roam these barren lands to help people like you. Huh... say though... any preference? The machine says, aware of her slumped state.
We run a facility for or... for humans and are looking to expand a bit. I'll drop you there and we'll give you clues on where to go, if that's alright with ya. Don't worry! We won't be trying to draft you into anything not sensible. The voice continues, and there's a shift from a professional tone to a much more relaxed one.
... Hey, say, what happened to ya to start with? I'm curious but if you just want to relax, I have huh... an array of noises played together to soothe or excite people. Huhhh, music! Yeah.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitter"Oh, Japan. That explains it.", he says. He then smirks smugly.
"Really? I can totally beat up an elephant. I've done it before."
He then nods.
"Yeah, I've seen cutouts of those robots, but the robots themselves aren't here anywhere! I asked around, they're just 'not available' right now, which is lame as hell! But I agree, the alligator looks the coolest! The wolf is a close second."
He walks over to the booth now, ordering a Fizzy Faz, and while he waits he turns back to Eve.
"So what you're saying is anywhere that isn't a city is basically a death trap waiting to happen?"
He pays for his drink, takes his makeshift twig out of his mouth, takes a large sip (he really was thirsty), then continues talking.
"So nothing I'm not used to. Until a few months ago, there was danger all around where I come from. Almost died several times."
And then he belches.
"Okay, wow, this drink is way more sparkly than I thought.", he says, apparently a little surprised he had to burp after a single (admittedly large) sip.
"Anyway, I'll be able to defend myself from anyone who thinks they can mess with me! But I guess I'll try my best to not give them a reason to do so. ... I'll try. If they start crap first like spandex boy, I'm not gonna keep my mouth shut. And if they start talking crap about my family, I'll show them what's for!"
He takes another sip, more slowly. Thankfully no belching ensues this time.

Aniyah steadies herself in the seat, listening and rubbing her neck- her implant giving a orange-red readout that seems to be 3/4ths of the way gone."Yeah, I've... got nowhere else to go. As for what happened, I think my ship came under fire from some anti-air cannons... Doesn't explain how myself and my ship ended up here though."
She looks down at the helmet in her hands, flipping it around so the back part faces her. The large 'UJC' symbol- a reminder of where the suit was from... and how far she is now. She checks both her modular weapon grips- connecting a hand-cannon styled attachment to the one clipped to her hip, and checking the one fixed to her back- a pump shotgun, with a rifle modular package affixed to the space right behind it. Good for quick swaps.
For those wondering what the weapons look like, they're all from The Callisto Protocol.
"...I should just be glad I got off that moon and I'm still alive, I guess..."
She pulls out a metal container of water and takes a sip, before shoving it back into her satchel.
"I'll take you up on that offer. I don't know nearly enough about where I am, so learning things is a good starting point for now."

"Well it was this weird elephant person who was a demon I think." Rumia hums as she gets a new soda and starts drinking it rather loudly again. "She was weird so maybe she was lying about being a demon."
"Mhm, people fighting all the time reminds me of where I come from too." Rumia says. "Just for fun sometimes, though I guess nobody dies at home... But I make sure to only kill bad people! Like that red dragon, or at least I think he died since I kept kicking him."
Of course her definition of bad usually relies on Flandre or someone else to label them.
"Anyway, what's your family like? Flan doesn't talk about her parents much so I only know like... Refia's." Rumia says, looking at Ken curiously.

"That was a pointless encounter with a pointless person."Deflecting Zeloai's redirected strike with his own lightsaber, Ben immediately sprints after the retreating Laxin like a nexu on the hunt. He comes to a stop, though, and throws up a Force barrier once the Sith unleashes a devastating wave of dark side power. Though the barrier shatters before his enemy's might, it at least manages to save his life.
"Kriff..."
He hurriedly stalks into the academy and immediately makes for the central hallway to resume his fight with Laxin, flinging the door open with the Force and flourishing his sky-blue lightsaber as he makes his entrance.
"Running away and hiding, Laxin? I never took you for a coward."

I think they all look dreadful. Eve comments, off-handedly. She didn't have much taste for automatons but they looked especially garish. And she wasn't certain that they could be counted on to handle children. Although she doesn't care enough to try to, like, whisk the Animatronics away.
She did remember helping one and then a group. Huh, how'd they fare? She should seek them out.
Well that might be true, but if you see a huge fight, you should run away. Eve knows this to be a nexus of worlds, so she doesn't take Ken to be lying, but she does wag her finger. This world would be a wasteland without its ability to regenerate. I dread the day one such fight reach the... pizzaplex. She could assign an Eve to it maybe?
The talk of demon elephant briefly get Eve to raise an eyebrow but she consider that a story for another time.
When he burps, she frowns slightly, but then simply listen to his tale, being a bit curious.
...
Oh, your vessel! Would you mind if we retrive and try to repair it later too? It looked... a bit, erm, wrecked but there's nothing that the power of teamwork, friendship and morbidly thorough experience in fixing metal things can't fix! Orbit appreciates her cooperation thus far. He wouldn't really have been disturbed if she chose to panic, since that'd be entirely appropriate, but she would have a lot of reasons not to trust him.
Maybe she's just someone trusting. Or maybe whatever she was doing beforehand means that she's just happy to have any manner of assistance.
Regardless, once she answers him, he take quiet notice of her mention of a moon. They're still a little while off the outpost, so...
I won't pry but I'm curious. It might take a little while until our destination after all. What happened on "that moon"? If you're feeling hesitant to answer that question, it's perfectly fine. Hey, you can even ask me back if you want! I'm an interesting bot.
Huhh, guy.
...
Energon just taste good too, you know? I got drunk off it with a bunch of friends once and... She suddenly cut herself off and look away, focusing back on what she was doing, despite greeting his reply with a little laugh.
When she speaks up next, she sounds a bit tired.
In front of them both is a computer with a simple interface: there's a red orb with a white arrow going upwards left, a blue orb with a white arrow going downwards right. Clicking either, there's a bunch of icons to press on. She apparently trust him to identify them, but if he put the cube down, it identify it as an Energon cube, calculate its mass and content and, after a short while, basically does the work on its own.
I wouldn't know. Hm. Basically, for it to work, you just have to touch an It's as simple as swiping right. Here, watch me. She does so, swiping right on her computer, and the machinery get to work. But before doing so, she asks for a canister full of D-T fuel, clicking on an icon for it on the computer.
It gets a bit confused sometimes without proper guidance. It's fine if you let it do the work but it can put the wrong stuff somewhere it really shouldn't.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitter"I hate running away, but... well, fine.", Ken concedes. He then looks at Rumia.
"Why do you wanna know that? Why should I tell you!?", he asks, seemingly angry for a moment before taking another sip. He seems to ponder for a moment after though.
"... Mom's real nice, she stays at home to look after us. Dad's always busy with work, he's home maybe 7 days a year. And my siblings... well, they're still little, so they slip between being cute and being a massive pain on a whim."
He squeezes his Fizzy Faz can in his hand, though thankfully there wasn't enough left in it to make it spill.
"Things got real dangerous a while back, when I wasn't able to go home for a good time. I was so worried about them that I got nightmares of bad things happening to them. Everything ended up fine in the end, but I was still-why the heck am I telling you all of this, I barely know you two!", he suddenly says.
He finishes his drink (thankfully the can isn't fully crushed so the soda still goes through), leans against the booth, then tosses it aside. It lands in a nearby garbage can, but it's not exactly clear if he cared to aim for it or not.
"Well then, wherever 'Onyxis' is, it ain't home, so I'm gonna go get myself some snacks to take along the way and then I'm outtie."
He glances at Rumia and Eve.
"You two aren't gonna try to follow me, right? Because you seem to be kinda interested in my life and that's suspicious as heck."

"Well I just thought we could be friends and friends know about each other." Rumia pouted at his initial response. "You can ask about me if you want."
It's pretty obvious even to her that he does care about his family it seems at least.
"Well if you don't want me to then I won't." Rumia shrugs. For once she's not in stalking mode. And by stalking I mean like a tiger shadowing some prey it's gonna eat not in the other meaning.
"Oh! You could maybe go to Hub Centralis! It's the place everyone goes to basically... It's at the center of the big ocean in the middle of any maps you see." Rumia smiles, pointing in the vague direction of Hub Centralis. "It might help you figure out what to do... though people also fight there a lot from what I hear..."

"That was a pointless encounter with a pointless person."I thought it'd be wise to check on you and see if that witch and her speedster brother didn't affect you in any way. Eve says, which is an half-truth, so it's partly truthful, so it isn't a full lie.
She would also just like rewriting the less pleasant parts of his brain.
Also, hm... I don't know if it's because of something else but your thoughts leaked. I could hear them. And I didn't try to. Maybe she did too? She points to Rumia. That could be something of an issue in a conversation. Or in life in general.

Aniyah lets out a quiet sigh before looking upward and speaking."Well... I was under contract from the United Jupiter Company to escort some medical supplies to a prison colony, and a lot of things went to hell. Some sort of... parasite? All I know is these strange... mutated humans overran the colony. The lockdown didn't make it easy to escape, either. Managed to snag a suit and some gear, though."
She clears her throat and spits out a bit of blood before continuing.
"The security bots were just killing anything that moved. I barely got to my ship before everything went completely bad. ...then the AA batteries targeted my ship and shot me down. One of them hit too close to the cockpit and I blacked out... woke up here. Still don't get why they needed a military grade frigate to escort some medical supplies, though..."
She shakes her head and sighs yet again.
"As for the ship? If you think you can fix it, go for it. I'd like to have it back, at the very least as a base of operations. Doubt there's anything close by in space here."
aeiou: the secondRumia's comment seems to surprise him. She wants to be friends?
"I dunno, I already got my hands full with the friends I already have.", he says, glancing aside absentmindedly. "I have a few, but they sure talk enough to feel like a group. If that's how all friendships are, I'll stick to just them. Unless you don't talk as much as they do, then I'll think about it."
He then listens.
"Hub... Centralis? Oh, it's an ocean town?"
He suddenly looks a little excited.
"Sweet! I hardly ever get to go anywhere close to the ocean! Yeah, I'm grabbing a map and I'm going there!"
He then looks at Eve.
"What? Thoughts lea-oh, goddamnit! First it was just her who heard them, but ever since that stupid lake water... oh, forget it."
The boy takes a deep breath, looking frustrated and in need of calming down. Which he manages to do on his own.
"It's alright... I have a way to deal with this... I just didn't think I had to do it immediately... I'll get to it when I'm on my way. Now I just need to find a map to the ocean town."
He glances at Eve and Rumia.
"Either of you girls have a map I can look at? Or take? Preferably the latter, I don't wanna get lost in the cold. In return I'll give you... uh..."
He glances at the backpack strapped to his back. He doesn't have much on him.
"... I have an apple. Do you want an apple? I don't have a lot of money on me, but if you don't charge me too much for it I can maybe just pay for it instead."

"Oh yeah I noticed but I thought it'd be rude to say anything." Rumia says, smiling sheepishly. She then rummages through her cloak, tossing aside her scythe which dissipates into darkness, an inexplicably alive lizard who scurries away into the Pizzaplex and some boring old lint before finally pulling out a modern looking map. Judging by the logos it's from some tourism bureau in the arena.
"I don't really use mine, it's more fun to fly by instinct." Rumia says, smiling as she hands it over. "I haven't had an apple in a while, Miss Keine used to give me them when I behaved in class."
If she does get the apple she immediately sinks her teeth into it which Ken will notice are far more bestially sharp than a human girl's would be.
"That was a pointless encounter with a pointless person."I don't need sustenance. I think you should give it to her. Eve lets Rumia handle the map part, even if she's pretty nonplussed by how messy she is.
I have an hospital in Hub Centralis. You should visit it if you ever need it. She says, pointing at herself. Don't worry. It isn't a place that any fight could ever hope to reach.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitter"Huh, alright.", Ken says, surprised that Rumia actually agreed to the trade for the apple. Though he stares a bit when he sees the items (and live lizard) that are briefly shown/escape into freedom.
He then takes the map before digging into his backpack and taking out the apple, giving it to her.
"Here.", he says, and once she takes it he takes a look at the map.
"Whoa, okay, this place is gigantic as heck. But I can work with this.", he smirks before pocketing it and looking at Eve.
"A hospital? Good to know. Hope you don't charge, like, a thousand bucks or something for treatment though. ... well, I doubt I'll need it anyway."

Vraela-Murian was about to dismiss Rainmaker's speech, before he realized that this man may be up to something. The dark mage listened to his words intently and carefully considered whether he should take the offer to help this madman kill what he considers to be influencing all creations in existence. Hmm, he does have a point. Sometimes underdogs that are placed in the most impossible situations can somehow win against all odds, and some people just appear to be blessed with the best luck. However...
"Heh, no." Murian replied with a light chuckle. "It is easy to blame all of our failures up to a handful of entities, because I've seen those who does just that. Those of faith attribute the evils of the world to 'the devil', those who swore their loyalty attribute evils and failures to all but the one they serve, and those who pursues vengeance attribute their suffering to one man they must slay."
Vraela-Murian's lips twisted into an almost uncharacteristically prideful grin. "However, I am not one of those people. I am a woman of research and exploration, and I believe in always looking beyond what's before me. You claim that 'fate' is what binds us, but perhaps you've simply fell into the common trap of confirmation bias and only looked at those who has seemingly been 'oppressed' by fate and fell into despair and never bothered to see those that have not."
The succubus lord shook her head as she crossed her arms. "You are free to enact your grand plan, but count me out of it. Fate only exists if you believe in it. If anything unfortunate befalls me, well..." Vraela-Murian shrugged with a grin. "What happens, happens. I refuse to cope by going on a crusade against something that might not even truly exist."
