Cole paused as he seemed to pick up something, then lowered his gaze, looking a little embarrassed. "S-sorry. I wasn't making fun of you. Your name has a melody, a music, a m-,"
That explanation was cut off when a giant and someone else came crashing through the windows, and he was moving as though to put himself between the others and the explosive entrance, one arm back and ready to draw at one of his daggers, eyes wide.
"I...I do not like these...cartoons..."
Grimlock sure sounded more like what someone would name a Stand, but at this point Hol Horse was just trying to stop thinking about that kind of business entirely.
Lieutenant Wells and the as-so-far-unnamed girl seemed mundane, so his attention turned to the talking dinosaur that he hadn't entirely gotten over just yet. He looked him up and down, looking at every inch of him as if trying to find some kind of discrepancy that would prove that he wasn't actually a dinosaur. There wasn't anything that wouldn't suggest that it was anything but real (for what measure of real a cartoon would be), even after he pulled out a magnifying glass out of thin air and discarded it in even thinner air.
His "inspection" as complete as it would ever be, he just tried to look Grimlock in the eyes and point blank ask him, "...I don't think I know what ya meant by multiverses, but if it's a place, do they have more like you out there? I mean, Officer Wells said pulled..."
Shiara stood up, dusted herself off, and looked around. "So that worked. Now, since you guys don't seem to have anything better to do, would someone tell me WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?" Upon the word what, her hair suddenly burst into flame.
Almost as abruptly, her hair went out, she apologised, and she promptly flumped on the floor in tears, crying fire.

[TOP SECRET]Plague Knight suddenly formed giant eyeballs the size of basketballs upon seeing Shiara starting to cry. The head of his staff, which he inexplicably pulled out, had the same expression as he did.
"You have tear ducts that excrete flame???" he said. His expression returned to normal and he walked up to the fire witch, keeping a safe distance away from her. "Now this is a remarkable discovery!" he said, pulling out sheets of paper and a pen. Tell me, does any of your other liquid excretions also combust into flames? Is it pure flame when it comes or does it only combust when exposed to air?"
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HITTING HELPY!!Grimlock; Dino mode
The Streets
Grimlock frowned a bit at that and looked distant. Others... He hadn't seen another Dinobot in a long while and he was so excited when he did meet one. But...that encounter didn't go so well.
"Yeah, I was pulled from my home like you were," he said. "I don't know if there're others like me here, but back where I was... ...the last one I saw, I had to put in prison 'cause he was hurting humans." He sighed. "And the multiverse is like...lots of different worlds with different people and...uh..." He scratched his head in thought, forgetting his sadness. "...I can't really explain it that well."
"You said you had a dream... That dream... Make it come true! ... If anyone can, it's you!" - N (shortened) Oh, and I'm a girl.Gon noted that Ben (At least) knew the naga girl pretty well.
"Do you know..." He pointed at it. "This thing?" The assassin asked Ben.
"It appears that you know it pretty well."

Library -> Outside Library - Can We Stop Fooling Around and Actually Do Something?
Zelda had gotten caught up in her own thoughts and worries for a while, with the result that she missed a lot of the zaniness around her. It was not until Rex and the rest of his group arrived and addressed her group that she returned to reality. She shook her head before addressing him.
"I think we met briefly yesterday, but given how different we look today I won't be surprised if you don't remember," she said to him, before giving him her usual smile and bow of the head. "My name is Zelda. It's a pleasure to meet you properly."
After that, she looked around the library. Despite all the talk and chatter about looking for the "King," it seemed absolutely no one had made any progress towards that goal. The most notable thing that had happened so far was getting hit by a car, and that hadn't accomplished much at all. There was just a lot of zaniness and arguing, to the point that it was a bit difficult to tell who was talking to who. She sighed.
"Just how long have we been trying to sort this out?" she asked of the group as a whole, "It feels like we've just been talking and arguing, but making absolutely no progress towards finding the 'King.' I'm not even sure how many of you even want to try. I'll admit I have no use for the reward, but I'd at least like to help the people who would want it." She turned towards the exit. "So I think I'll be starting on that now. Anyone who wants to join me will be welcome."
At that, she headed back outside, keeping an eye out for her harp and this time being very careful to not accidentally stumble onto the streets.
Icon by Civvi the Civilian!As Twilight feared, Bill broke free. Thankfully, she was nearby keeping an eye on him, and flew up out the window after him.
"Oh no you don't!"
She remembered a spell she had used during the conflict with Starlight Glimmer. She started firing energy blasts at Bill Cipher. If any of them hit, he would be entrapped in a crystal. (The effects of the day causing a silly effect of him being entrapped bit by bit rather than all at once.)
What is this "signature" of which people speak?Things were only getting crazier and crazier and Sans didn't even remember to introduce himself to Rex as he watched events unfold. The entrance of the orc and the other person was enough to make Sans chuckle a little bit, but Zelda was right, they really weren't doing anything and just wasting time at that point, plus it looked like a fight could be about to break out right there. Once she headed out, he quietly followed after her.
"so, can you see your harp anywhere?" Sans asked Zelda, seeing if he could spot anything on the street, "if it got sent flying away with you when you got hit, then it's probably broken by now." he commented, shrugging.
He then took a better look at the "cars" passing by, they obviously didn't have any drivers, but that made the skeleton start wondering about something.
"i wonder if we could ride one of those somehow, they would help go through the city quickly," he said as he watched them zoom past, "... although they may go a little -too- fast"
The library— Gee, fun dodges.
Bill looked behind him as he flew. To his hugely sarcastic surprise, someone was trying to ruin his fun. He tried to Bob and weave to avoid the blasts, his left leg was hit by the Crystal magic. He groaned in annoyance, flung a few fireballs at the attacker in earnest then flew out of sight.
The legend has returned.As Kouta walked into the library, he noticed that everyone else was cartoonified as well.
"Hey, what the hell's going on, we were kids before now we're weird and in graysca- what the hell going on with my voice!?" Kouta noticed that he was speaking a million words a minute and had a bit of a grainy tone to his voice. He tried coughing, but nothing happened. He looked over and saw Twilight fighting... Wait, what the crap was that? A floating pyramid with an eyeball on it? Kouta backed away slowly.
Plague Knight walked over to Miss Tairee's desk, plucked a brochure from it, and walked back to Shiara. "I believe this pamphlet will adequately explain the situation to you," he explained to the fire witch. "And this Night Watch, is it an organization or a person?"
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HITTING HELPY!!Shiara took a moment to compose herself, then smiled and took the brochure.
"Nightwitch is my cat. Kitten to be precise. I followed her here and then she ran across the road and I havent seen her since. She is about 10 cm high, black, and insatiably curious."
Then she read the brochure. Making various noises of understanding, she finished it, growled, and turned the pamphlet to ash. "So does someone want to catch me up with what is happening, and then maybe help me look for my cat?"
[TOP SECRET]"Meatbag...?" Sadness repeated quietly, then shook her head
as if to clear the thought away. "Uh. No. I don't—know what a droid is, I mean.
"And we do have spaceflight!...I guess," she added. "Some rockets fly to outer space sometimes. When she was little Riley wanted to go to the moon too. Does that mean droids are like aliens...?"
Currently writing something. Currently procrastinating.Library -> Outside (for real this time!)
Too much crazy stuff was happening inside the library again. A large two-headed being and a girl had crashed through yet another glass panel (talk about collateral damage!) and it was getting too much for her liking. And Zelda was definitely right. It was about time that they exited the library and started looking outside for the elusive King.
And so she and Fried proceeded to go outside and join her two friends. Sans had spoken about Zelda's harp, so Caro took a quick look around before saying, " Yeah, like I said before, I will try to find it too if I can."
Upon seeing the fast moving book cars and hearing Sans mention trying to ride then, she suddenly had an idea, represented by the fact that a glowing light bulb had appeared out of nowhere above her head. She then replied, " About that ... I think I might have a way to stop these things for us try or to at least get us across safely if it works."
She then turned to face the street. Under her feet appeared the same symbol that she had used to cast Dragon Soul Summon with yesterday, only this time it was colored a light shade of grey instead of pink. Kerykeion's gem-like twin cores started to glow with a light of the same color and the glowing lines that appeared on the gloves followed suit.
A large stretch of the street before her started to glow with a similar light. When the next car began to approach, she would yell, " Wrought Iron Summon; Alchemic Chain!", which would cause dozens of metallic chains to burst from the glowing ground, both from underneath, behind and in front of the incoming vehicle, all which would then attempt to wrap themselves around it in order to hold it in place.
The girl that had just bursted through one of the windows started crying about not being able to find someone called Nightwitch. Her hair started burning and she angrily asked what the hell was happeneing in this city. She also cried fire after apologizing for her outburst and Plague Knight started interrogating her about the nature of her powers and bodily fluids.
Tairee only asked Rex's question about the king's appearance with the sound of a tuba. Rex couldn't take the weirdness anymore.
"I don't even wanna know"
Meanwhile, the triangle had freed himself from Stinkfly's goo and tried fly through the window that the girl and the two headed hulk had just bursted through but Twilight fired energy blasts at him, he answered with a few fireballs and tried to escape.
Rex jumped and created his wings with a visible POOF! appearing in the air. He made the machine launch a slightly bigger than a watermelon bola to the flying triangle hoping to knock it out.
While doing this he talked to Twilight. Rex was the kind of guy that liked to show his (sentient) enemies that he barely had to pay attention to them while fighting.
"You know? He always struck me as a shady guy"

Ben crossed his arms, looking over at Gon, who asked him about Silanea. "Yeah, but I've only known her for a couple of days. And I just now learned her name. So I don't know how much I—" he started to say, when he heard the sound of laughter.
He looked over at Bill Cipher and glared. "Hey!" he exclaimed. "I told you to stay put!" He huffed a bit. "If my stupid watch wasn't on cooldown I'd be able to really give him what's coming to him." As he flew off, Ben pulled his grappling hook out of nowhere and lashed out one of the vines in Bill's direction. The vine stopped just short of grabbing the entity's leg. Ben snapped a finger. "Aww, man!" he groaned. He blinked a couple of times when the fire witch shouted at the top of her lungs, then rushed to her side when she began to cry.
"No, wait, stop crying, please...." he tried to comfort her. Then, she explained her plight— her cat was missing. Ben didn't have any pets but he was sure that if he did, he'd be so upset if he lost it. He smiled gently at her. "Don't worry. I'll help you find your cat. My name's Ben Tennyson, and I like to think I'm a hero around these parts. What about you?"
I can still hail the Horde even though the company has shamed us. Strength and Honor even if Blizzard has neither.Lune watched a fight break out between Twilight, Rex and the Tortilla Chip. Oh, boy… Since Zelda, Caro and Sans left before things were getting out of hand, Lune decided to follow suit and left the library. She was about to head out the door when a two-headed ogre and a girl crashed through the window. She ducked to avoid a fireball and walked out before something worse would inevitably happen.
As turned out, Sans and Caro were talking about finding Zelda’s harp and how to cross the street safely. Caro came up with the idea of summoning some chains to stop a book-car and hop aboard the car to get a free ride. Lune asked, “Hey, guys… Getting away from the chaos inside, like I did?”

"Uh... Rick?" Morty looked down at Rick's jury-rigged device, which was currently going haywire. "I-I think your device, i-i-it's all goin' crazy." Morty plaintively held up the machine in question, which was currently shaking back and forth violently without producing any real results. Rick rolled his eyes and mumbled something under his breath before fumbling for his flask.
"Can't say *urp* can't say I didn't try, at least. I mean, what?" Rick waved a dismissive arm at the cartoon mayhem going on in the library- people fighting with flying triangles, cars flying through the windows, ogres and snake people and whatever else showing up and not really doing anything productive. "At least, y-you know, Morty, you know, we- I- tried, right?"
"Y-yeah, I guess." Morty wrung his hands together and stared at the chaos that was rapidly unfolding behind them. "I mean, sh-should we do something here? Like, I-you, uh, you said nobody can get hurt, but maybe we should, like..."
Rick dodged a stray fireball before sitting down on the sidewalk and chugging back another shot of liquor. "Morty *urp* Morty, lemme tell you something about travelling the multiverse: it's never your problem... u-until it is."
"Boy, Rick, I-I, uh, that's your philosophy, huh?"
"Yep."
It was at about that point that a group of individuals- including the skeleton from yesterday- walked out the door, with a girl note mentioning something about getting proactive. Morty rubbed the back of his head as he watched them leave.
"Rick... I-I mean, uh, maybe this is my- our chance? I dunno?" Morty quickly jogged after the motley group, taking care not to stray too far out into the street.
"H-hey! A-are you, uh, are you gonna f-find this king... cartoon guy?" called Morty as he tried to catch up.
"Aw... th-there *urp* there we go. We got a real adventure-ing party now." Rick still sounded vaguely unenthusiastic about this whole endeavor, although he seemed willing to shoulder it if it meant getting this ordeal over with faster. "Oh boy, Morty, I bet that guy doesn't stand a chance now. We got a, a, girl, and another girl, and, uh, it's that skeleton guy, and..." Rick stared dazedly at Fried. "uh, s-some kind of, I dunno, is that some kind of dragon or something? A dragon?" Absentmindedly, Rick pulled out his broken comedy detector again, tinkering with it as he spoke.

Shiara looked at Ben in scorn.
"You are a hero? You don't seem dumb enough. Sorry. Where I am from, heroes are as dumb as a doorknob and doubly stupid. Thank you for the offer though. I would really appreciate the help."
Rummaging through her bundle, Shiara pulled out a handkerchief and blew her nose before continuing.
"I am Shiara, a fire-witch, and currently the princess in service of her royal majesty, Kazul, the King of the dragons. A pleasure to make your aquantince, Ben Tennyson."
She reached into her bundle again and pulled out a container full of fudge ("comfort food, yes!"), another with two meat pies which she put aside, and a bottle full of Morwen's cider, the best drink she had ever tasted. Then, because of ettiqute, she offered them around, with the stipulation that there be leftovers afterwards (otherwise they wouldn't replenish).
[TOP SECRET]Ben wasn't sure whether to be insulted or confused. He wasn't... dumb enough? He furrowed his brow.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Ben asked, sounding a tad irritated. "I'm not stupid. Just because I'm not an A student doesn't mean I'm dumb or something!" He crossed his arms. "But whatever..." he muttered, looking utterly baffled. When Shiara offered the food, Ben nodded. "Thanks," he told her. "I'm starving, I haven't eaten today."
I can still hail the Horde even though the company has shamed us. Strength and Honor even if Blizzard has neither."Again, where I am from, heroes are incredibly dumb and dense as a badly done brioche. Always trying to rescue people who don't want to be rescued, suckers for a sob story. Also, make sure to leave leftovers, otherwise the food wont replenish. Cider?"
Proferring the cider, Shiara was happy, kind of. She knew the situation she was in, and it appeared that someone was going to help her find Nightwitch. He also didn't seem dumb, which was a plus.
[TOP SECRET]

"I won't fight- if he won't" Silanea said, glaring past Ben at Brother Marcus. The space marine said nothing, his helmet notably still and stoic given the day's effects on it, and just stared towards the naga, ready to move at a moment's notice.
Miss Tairee looked to Rex and just gave him a shrug with a quick, "wuh wah."
