Enterprise - Hill of Origin
Oscar suggesting that they launch an attack now made Enterprise feel a bit more comfortable around him. Even if he didn't believe in democracy he seemed to at least have a good heart. But then Guzma spoke up and explained how Kaga had aided this land against a group called 'the fire nation' and that they had even secured a warship for their use...likely the one Bombing 6-3 had spotted. If Nagato and some of the other Sakura empire ships had defected, perhaps Kaga had had a change of heart upon arriving in this land as well.
She raised her hat as the shock wore off and the confidence returned to her eyes. She turned to Oscar first and spoke in an earnest tone to show her gratitude.
"Thank you, I'm glad you'd be willing to support me. But this is a new land and if what has been said is true then I'd like to give peace a chance before we risk spilling blood unnecessarily."
Next, she looked at Guzma and smiled ever so slightly.
"Very well Guzma, if you desire to seek peace then I will support you. I have no interest in continuing a war that isn't against the sirens, but I do ask that when you go to see Kaga you be careful. I do not know if she is still the same carrier I fought against and I worry bringing my name up could put you in danger."
Of course then there was Rico...who was apparently unarmed. Huh, she thought the OSS's successor would do a better job of supplying their men, but maybe they were resource strapped?
"Hmm, you're right Rico. you do need a gun, cause even if Kaga and I do not fight, if there is another hostile power out there I feel we'll have to fight them instead. I'll also need to find an engineer who can help fix or replace my planes in-case they're shot down or badly damaged."
Vampire Hunter
Chun-Li, Hill of Origin
"I think founding a school is an excellent idea," Chun-Li agreed with chaos, walking over to his group.
Juri, Wendy's
"Eh, I found it entertaining in a trainwreck sort of way," Juri said before explaining to Naga and Wendy, as she realized they would have no idea what a train is. "By that, I mean it was like watching a disaster in progress from a safe distance."
"I could probably do with busting some heads though," Juri shrugged at Naga.
Wizard Needs Food Badly
Majima nodded, glad to see the ladies seemed into the idea.
"Other things I want to do. First off, I want a no-entry list. People who have officially been banned from our faculties. If that guy who put the hole in our wall doesn't show up to fix it, he's first on that list. Also, I want that Gio guy and anyone from his "Team Rocket" watched by no less then 2 people at all times if and when they come into our turf. I've seen the look in his eyes before. He ain't going to be a problem that we can negotiate with, he ain't going to go away."
"He ain't done anything yet, so we can't preemptively ban him without a reason. But he'll strike, and I think it'll be sooner rather then later. Man hardly seemed to be holding himself together after I shot his suggestion down, doesn't strike me as the subtle type. And that is how we are going to win. Image. Gio's a thug with ambition, who ain't ready to play the long game. We turn that against him, get the rest of the city on our side, or at least convince them that we're much more preferable business partners then some wannabe thug. Then when the chips come down, we ensure they come down on our side. You two follow me?"
Naga - Around Town -> Shrine Gate -> Hell
"Excellent, then we shall be off!" Naga said in excitement."Hmmmmm, I'm not seeing them around, they must have left without us-" Naga said in boredom. She had her hands up to her face, cupping them around her eyes as if they we're binoculars. But then she cheered up. "No doubt they knew I could catch up. As always, I, Naga the Serpent, have a plan!"
She came to a stop at a certain part of the city, looking up at the large Shrine Gate.
"I'm sure we can catch up to them if we take this" she proclaimed. "I might not have a teleportation spell myself, but I've seen this enough to know that it must be taking us somewhere a good distance away, which means not only will we catch up to the expedition, but we may very well beat them to the destination and get first crack at whatever lays there in wait!"
She placed a hand on the gate, causing the portal to manifest and reveal the other side. She took a few steps so that she was on the other side, and pumped her fist in the air in triumph.
"See! Look, footprints! We'll catch up to them in no time at all, dohohoho!"
With that, Naga took off running at a breakneck pace to wherever the trail led, her 'DOHOHO' alerting things of her presence long before she arrived.
M16A1 - Leaving the Hibana
"Yeah I'm with Reiko here," M16 chimed in gruffly. "A bullet to the head can solve a lot of problems. The trouble is having too many witnesses...."
Siluca - Woods Expedition
“For now, I think it would be better if we stuck together as a group,” suggested Siluca, agreeing with Darkness’s suggestion though giving a glance at her strange reasons. “I’d rather not have anyone get lost or separated. Whether we’re looking for wolves, werewolves, or some other creature, it sounded like there were a lot of them. Even if we split up, it’s possible they might smell us.”
Junko Enoshima - Final Execution
Her days had come to an end. All her plans she had carefully laid out over the past few agonizing years all came crumbling down. All because of a loser named Makoto Naegi.
It was truly a super-super-super-duper-ultra ultimate despair worthy of all despairs.
If it weren’t for the fact her body had just been pelted by thousands of baseballs and spun around through the motorcycle sphere until she could almost feel it melting, she would have been trembling from all the excitement and despair-inducing pain she was feeling right now.
Now, strapped into the final ride, and feeling the thundering of the great crusher behind her, Junko clung to the Monokuma in her lap, making one last wave to the camera before she met her final end.
Once the belt fed her into the excavator, Junko looked up, awaiting her final and last mega-ultra despair, and the machine slammed down. The pain was instantaneous and hopelessly unbearable, just like she always wanted it to be.
Junko - Hill of Origin
But all too soon and suddenly, the pain and ecstasy came to an end, and she felt nothing.
Why did it stop there?
Junko opened her eyes and her mind whirred to life, briefly taking note of the fact her Monokuma wasn’t with her. Her surroundings were too peaceful and tranquil for her liking, though something about the city in the distance seemed strangely familiar.
A few possibilities came to mind as for her new surroundings.
One, this was the afterlife.
Two, this was a dream or the boring existence she experienced before was a dream. That didn’t seem likely. This did not seem to be a dream, nor were her prior experiences.
Three, she had been whisked off to another world by some alien supertechnology or just plain magic. That would explain the talking duck and the dragon(s).
Actually, that seemed to make the most sense, though the afterlife and other world thing could have been one and the same.
She honestly couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the chumps around her, but hey, she gave those students from the 78th class a chance and look how that turned out. Maybe she’d come to like these fellas.
Everyone she knew and loved was dead or a long ways away from here as far as she knew, so might as well learn a couple faces.
How else was she going to feel that Ultimate Despair upon Despairs once again? There wouldn’t be any satisfaction if there wasn’t any buildup, and she didn’t want to hog all that despair to herself.
So who was around? Girl who looked like she had carrier platforms on her hips, some prettyboy knight, guy with some sort of claw on his arm (she’d need to have a better look at that), lady with horns, punk with goggles, upper class duck, peg-leg guy, guy who looked like a space cadet, nature woman, that woman who almost looked like she was from one of Chiaki’s video games, etc.
Strange. She couldn’t get as good a reading on these guys as she normally could. Maybe getting smashed into a pulp must have done something to her noggin. Well, maybe things wouldn’t be so boring after all.
Now, it was up to her to make friends with everyone, learn their deepest darkest secrets, and then have them all kill each other!
But where to start?
When Junko approached the group, she made the most saccharine expression
she could possibly muster, and said, “Hey hey, everyone! So, umm, I know you’re all super-busy with whatever important stuff it is that you’re talking about, but could someone explain to me where I am? It’s really scawwy to suddenly wake up somewhere you’ve never been before, don’t ya know?”
Kawakaze - Fleeing
The fox made her way to the bottom of the hill, where she set her wave rider down in one of the flooded streets and took off along down it at full speed, making her way past the shrine that Char had set up not really knowing what it is. While she didn't slow down for buildings, she did once she started to notice people up ahead... People that did not look to be affiliated with the Ghost, or hell at least if they were they could at least be used to clarify the situation.
So she loosened her grip on the throttle, causing it to slip back forward, and the little device to slow down to a crawl, pulling up along side them. "Do any of you know where I am?" ,she called out figuring that she should get the obvious question out of the way first.
Kaga - Going to see the Scientist
"The problem is if she survives.... she has a knack for doing that" Kaga replied to the pair as she started to head off, figuring that this needed to be addressed soon, "Even a lack of witnesses does no good if she pulls that trick where she comes back from the dead again"
Char - Shrine gate
Char was about to get started on trying to find one of the scientists when he saw Naga go racing through the portal to robot dinosaur land. Before he could shout at her not to do that, she was already through the shrine gate. He just rubbed the back of his head, dreading what might be about to come haunt him.
"Oh...well this isn't going to end well, best to prepare for the apocalypse then."
Was about the only thing he could manage to say right before he saw Kawakaze go racing by his location on a surfboard. He pondered a bit if she was related to Kaga because of fox ears and tails, but her rigging made it more obvious.
"Wonder if Kaga knows another of her kind is here."
Of course this was all still something to put on the back burner while he tried to get some more weaponry made.

Military Grade Shitposter
Hill of Origin
The Viking walked up to Rico, offering a flintlock pistol. Rico gratefully took it, inspecting the weapon. Despite its rather primitive nature, it was clearly an excellently machined and made weapon of its type. Inaccurate and finicky as it was, it was better than not having a weapon. "Well... you are right, it's something. I'd ask for more ammunition, but... I feel like I'd be better off just having more than one of these. I've heard reloading these takes... a while."
Enterprise, it seemed, was backing down too, which was good. Though she seemed to agree that he needed a firearm. "Yeah. I don't know why, but something tells me that I'm going to have to spill blood here before I'm allowed to leave. Not that I'm averse to that."
Finally, a woman walked up, with pigtails the size of truck tires, and began talking in a... very strange way. A way that practically dripped with sugar. A way nobody else talked. Still, she didn't seem mean, so Rico shrugged it off. "We are apparently in some type of alternative universe that is currently... growing to maturity? I think?"
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."
Blue Diamond, Hill of Origin
Blue was alarmed. It was this early on and there was already talk of battle between the two ship women brewing. Though she would normally be content to let these two settle their differences, she didn’t really have that luxury anymore. This land, for the time being, was one they had to share. It was one in which her and Pink were liable to be dragged into whatever conflicts these organics (or otherwise) could create. That was reason enough to do what she could to prevent all out war.
Thankfully, it appeared Enterprise had already been dissuaded from the idea of direct confrontation. This made Blue relax a bit, though there was still the issue of Kaga. She seemed forceful and brash from her time in the meeting – not unlike Yellow, really- so it was unlikely that she would give up the grudge as easily. Not that she didn’t understand her grief. After all, if something were to happen to her sister… well, not much more really needed to be said.
”Do be wary,” Blue said. ”You may not wish to harm her, but that doesn’t mean Kaga will agree to a ceasefire should you two meet.”
This whole thing felt weird. It’s not as though she cared that much about these unruly humans, but one of the people chosen by the land as one of its rulers dying would surely fracture the people and the land, likely making it harder for her to return home. That, after all, was her ultimate goal. Returning to Homeworld, not playing Sim City with a bunch of organics.
She then noticed a strange girl with an unnaturally chipper smile appear on the hill.
”This land is called the Frontiers. As he said, it is one that is constantly growing. Unfortunately, that’s about all I really know at the moment.”

"Of course adults will be able to have the proper right to education. I've stated it earlier that schooling will remain free to all that wish to learn unless they're dangerous criminals who threaten the safety of the staff and children or those lazy ne'er-do-wells that want to siphon the supplies without lifting a finger." Smiling to chaos and responding to his question in kind, the woman then turned her head towards the distance once the intended passengers had a tight hold.
With a powerful beat of her wings, Astra blew up a few gusts as she moved her heavy body into the air before shooting off into the sky with speed and grace that belied her size. Whistling through the air like a knife, the keen-eyed dragon soon spotted the Big Tree as was described by the others before hovering towards the landmark and landing near the trunk.
Seated around the tree was everyone's favorite Nordic goddess of trickery, the slit-eyed woman tipsy as usual while enjoying her newfound rocking chair. Where the woman seemed to find new bottles of booze was a mystery but at the very least the deity looked at the newcomers with kindly eyes even as she waved at them. Nearby, the Pikmin were busy practicing sword forms with what appeared to be sewing needles, the flower-tipped ones wearing thimbles on their head to denote their higher ranking among the tiny plant people horde.
As the planes continued onwards, they would find the archipelagos to be rather bustling with greenery and happy people, the scenes of the marketplace having various merchants selling spices and fishermen displaying their catches of the day. The natural ports meanwhile had giant cream-stoned gates blocking access into the natural harbors, with lines of black ironclads lined up to be supplied with soldiers and rations.
◊
Strangely enough, located in the public square of the harbor city appeared to be a bronze statue of a rather muscular man showing off his bared torso, head inclined up to the skies and mouth held open in a silent roaring posture. As the planes flew over said statue, it would uenexpectedly shoot out a particular hot gout of flames from its mouth to the delight of the civilians straggling about the area, some of them even going so far as to bow down towards the figure in seeming worship.
The beams would whizz rather dangerously close to Wulfrik, hot enough to scorch the air with its energies before hitting a nearby tree and causing it to burst into flames to cast a rather eerie light on the whole conflict. The thugs seemed to welcome the Warhammer man as one of their own, mostly due to his whole hair-do and physical build being the same as theirs. The skulls were also a nice touch to their eyes.
Just when the raptors had been defeated though, a much louder screech could be heard in the distance before an explosion of branches blasted out to blindside on unfortunate mohawk. As the man was left clawing at his face to get the debris out, a vaguely big cat-shaped machine leaped out of the foliage to pounce on the man rip huge gouges out of his frame with sharp metal claws.
Letting the corpse slump down, the machine then turned its attention towards Wulfrik before pouncing at him with alarming speed and adroitness that gave the predatory felines their deadly skill. The noise would probably be a good indicator for Naga to go check things out.
"I would like to ask where I was and how I got here... but the others have already fielded that question and the nice people around here have answered so I do believe for the moment I am content." Humming thoughtfully as she looked around the area with a wide-eyed gaze, a rather shocked blonde couldn't help but let out a small gasp of surprise at just how much... land there was. And the air... it was so... strange. A lot less light than what she was used to, every breath giving her enough oxygen to almost get dizzy from.
It was clear she was not in the various skydoms given the change, and history had shown that in the past before the lands had risen to the sky, the earth was where the various races had lived. Looking to and fro to see no end to abrupt end to the horizon as evidenced by the outer bounds of a floating island, Cagliostro's intellectual curiosity was rather piqued by the absurdity of it all.
There was no hint of lies in the stragglers' words to her experienced eyes and her own senses told her that she was on the equivalent of unsullied terra firma, a lot lower in the atmosphere than she was used to. If anything, the feeling of comfort ran through her body as though it was something that had been deprived for so long without actually knowing that she needed it, a sense of natural and instinctive behavior that even her artificial body was hardwired to react to.
"...Is this Paradise? What the world could have been like before the great war had happened and the lands uplifted to the skies?" Wonderment sparkled in her eyes as the alchemist took out a quill to begin scribbling new pages into her tome, detailing the similarities and differences of her experiences due to scientific habits dying hard.
The explanation about the gestalt consciousness sounded a lot like the creation of an Astral Beast themselves, something that the girl had experience with. In a land of genesis... it fell upon herself to be the snake that tempted the mortals with the fruit of knowledge. It was a land ripe with possibilities and impossibilities just waiting to be discovered and explored! A world akin to an unlimited treasure chest! Her own personal playground!
"Yahoo!" Cutely throwing her hands up in the air, the immortal twirled on her tiptoes at not having to worry about more problematic things. Why, with her findings she could probably come back to the Grancypher with aid that would make the journey much safer for Clarisse and Djeeta! Though a stab of loneliness and pain flew through her heart at the thought of leaving those loved ones alone in their perilous journey, making use of the wish to land her back at the exact moment she left would be the ideal way to make the best of this situation.
Determination to protect mixing with desire for knowledge, the avidly curious alchemist turned her attention towards the other people to note comparisons and contrasts with the people of her world, finding the exotic factor rather appealing. There was already a surplus of information to be had simply through waiting and listening, with the girl noting down the more interesting individuals to get to know.

The meeting on the hill petered out as tensions rose. As people started leaving, Celty got back on Shooter and took off. She did not really have anything to do, so she took a slow drive around the city. It was something she started doing when she had free time. It helped clear her head as she drove through the silent city. Occasionally she'd pass someone, but the population was still small for the size of this place.
As the group gathered to explore the wilds outside of the city, the sound of a braying horse announced Celty's arrival. She drove up to the group, coming to a stop nearby. It seemed she arrived in time to catch part of the conversation about whether to stick together or not. She gave a nod to Siluca to show her support for sticking together.
Yorktown - Home
It had been such a nice, sunny day off that Yorktown had decided to take a midday nap during a stroll on a grassy hill.Yorktown - Green Hill Zone
Which was why when she popped up in the Frontiers, right in front of her sister, she was still comfortably napping away on the ground.M16A1 - Off to See the Nerd Wizard
"What, they have a neural cloud where they can store their cores or something?" M16 asked as they walked along. "Wait... how do your brains work. You guys didn't have computers back then, right?"
Kaga - Off to See the Scientist
"I have no idea what a neural cloud is... dead should be dead, but for some reason.... for her it is not", Kaga sighed before she answered the other part of the question. "We do have computers, battleships especially use them to do fire control calculations... but our brains? Our minds? They are a gift from the gods... The result of something with many names, "Mental Cube", "Wisdom Cube", "Magic Cube" no one is quite sure how they work... although research is being done into them.... At there most basic they take mankind's perception of something, and give it a physical form bringing it into reality"
1st Squadron - Fire nation
Incredibly pleased with the results of there recon attempt, the remaining planes take final photographs, and break... Speeding back to Akihabara they had found every thing they had needed and had no intent to stick around and sustain more damage.

Enterprise (Hill) - It's a trap!(?)
Enterprise was going to say something else to address the growing situation, and also the fact that she was detecting a massive amount of planes heading towards the city...and then her (not-so) dead sister appeared in front of her.
She just froze up and stared down at Yorktown before sitting down and poking yorktown's cheek to see if she was actually there or she was experiencing PTSD.
"Hey older sister, are you alive?"
Yorktown - Green Hill Zone
Yorktown sat up, rubbing her eyes as she roused herself and looked around."Lil' E? What are you - how are - where-?"
Blinking, she looked around the place. They were on a hill. There was a tree, a city - a ruined city, somehow - and people. A whole lot of strange people. She'd say they were the strangest people she's ever seen, but then again she spent her days with a group of women who had boats stapled to their hindquarters.
"Where are we?" she asked, coming to her feet and dusting off her shoulders.
M16A1 - Off to See the Nerd Wizard
"From the gods... right...." M16 wasn't exactly the religious type - what with being a whiskey-powered robot killing machine manufactured in a factory somewhere in Poland with the sole purpose of eliminating her enemies and all that - but, hey, if Kaga wanted to think Jesus was responsible for having a soul, she wasn't going to judge. Much. "But you're still from way back when, so that's all you use computers for? The military? In the future, everyone's got a computer. Tons of them. Even carry one around in their phone, they use 'em for everything. Back home you don't have every kid walking around playing games about ducks and pigs and cute girls on their phones?"
You know, now that she thought about it, the PSG1 was a lot more modern than World War II....
"Hey Reiko, you got a phone? You got games with cute girls in it?"
Lots of people in Reiko's line of work sure were hyped up as immortal, unable to be killed by anything besides time, but that obviously never panned out as they'd like it to.
Kaga wasn't one to exaggerate, though. She seemed entirely serious, and this was a world where personifications of WWII naval vessels existed for some reason that was unknown to her. Perhaps someone could really be immortal?
There was only one way to test that out. And she'd need some aid from her—okay, where had this conversation ended up?
Just in the middle of her grim thoughts about how to best shoot a boat, now M16 was asking to play video games. Reiko gave her a raised eyebrow, but she did fish a phone out of her pocket.
A silver, well-beaten flip phone that Reiko got instead of an actual smartphone. Opening it up and letting the monochrome display shine for her gun comrade, she had something for her.
"...I have Snake," she said.
Why she specified with cute girls was beyond her.
"Following you as notes on a...very clearly, boss," Ionia said, somewhat bemused. someday, he'd appreciate their music jokes. "It's all very simple. We'll make sure that if anyone does get on the list, we'll make sure the whole street finds out who. Though, one little suggestion..."
"Make that two," Aeolia said.
"Oh, really? You go first then, sister."
"How gracious. But first, I think there's one person we might not want to do business with...Naga the Serpent. Do I need to explain why?"
"Then this is where I come in," Ionia said, "But maybe, if we believe we can pull it off...perhaps we can make his simpleminded attitude work in our favor. We just antagonize him a little if he does come by...just enough to be deniable...and see if that's enough to make him break?"
And then a weird cat girl came driving up, maybe not out of breath but certainly out of wits. Ionia and Aeolia looked at each other amusedly, and smiled.
"Do you mean here, this district? Or here being the city?" One of Aeolia's hands pointed up, while her puppet's hand pointed down at the pavement.

He has no time to concentrate on it, for one man's life is snuffed out by another metal monstrosity, this one in the likeness of a cat.

Lizard Metabolism
Oscar, Binary Morality At Work, Hill
"If what you're saying is true, this still does not excuse her previous crimes. One does not simply make amends like he were to put weights on a libra." Still, perhaps the murderous rogue from Sakura Empire could be used for the greater good. If they could quench the conflict between her and Enterprise, that sheer force would find a use. "But if Lady Enterprise wants to be the better man, I cannot stop her. 'tis a great display of will, to forgive." His expression darkened. "If, however, she cannot agree to peaceful coexistence, we will have to put her down and anyone who sees fit to support her. I hope this is understood." At least the blue woman seemed to share his apprehension to the idea of peace between two women (ships) so bitter with each other.
Rico explained that his area of expertise involved a lot of firepower. Hm. It seemed the man had about as much paperwork competence as Lord Shigure, but his combat prowess could not be questioned. "I can provide you with a length of sledge, if you'd like." He suggested, trying not to roll his eye at Rico's joke about woman-shaped vessels. The dragon rider approached, offering one of these "guns" to the agent. Dwarves? "Are they located here in this realm? We could use their services if we are to establish some form of order." He mentioned to Hiccup, eye still warily regarding Toothless.
A new arrival approached them. Never a dull day. Oscar set his eye on the brazen display of cleavage befitting a street performer or a courtesan and not, if this clothing was any indication, a student. Surely others could address her. Beyond his disapproving look, the exorcist paid Junko no further attention, especially in light of yet another arrival: an alleged older sister of Enterprise (as far as ships could have siblings). A hint of irritation skimmed through his face when it turned out that she too felt the need to flaunt her goods - in her uniform, no less! - but at least the whole composition made more sense than Junko's.
"This is the Frontiers, and we have been selected by the... overseer of this realm to shape it properly." He explained, snapping a salute. "For the ideals of Reason and justice, and against barbarians who would trample on these values. I am Oscar Dragonia." Here, he offered a sitting lady a hand to hoist herself up on. "I hope we can work together for the greater good."

Enterprise - Hill
"It's a long story, Oscar just explained everything I know myself."
Enterprise gave yorktown a quick hug, She didn't want to make a scene but she was also happy just to see her sister again...though she looked somewhat different from the last time Ent had seen her.
"Anyway Big sis, we need to move. Kaga is here, somewhere in that city and my radar picked up some of her planes on the move though it looked like they were returning from a mission rather than heading out. I'd still suggest we move to a place with cover so we don't look like open targets."
The talk about her weapons and outfits could wait, right now they just needed to get somewhere a bit quieter and with something to stop any potential bombs from hitting them directly. Unfortunately she couldn't just send out a scout plane to do it cause that would risk giving away their location if it wasn't already, so they'd have to scout on foot.

Screw the Lion!
"Thanks, that's all I ask," Guzma responded to Enterprise, glad the girl agreed to give piece a chance. It was then Junko walked up. The way the girl dressed and her diabetes inducing method of speaking immediately had Guzma realize this girl aping for attention. Hell, most little kids Guzma knew did not talk like that at all. He promptly ignored her and turned his attention to Hiccup. "You think we could hire some of those dwarves to fix up the ship?" he asked as Blue Diamond and Oscar explained to Junko about the Frontier.
Then there was another blonde who seemed to be a bit.....too happy to be here, calling this place Paradise? Wow, a lot of other universes suck, the trainer surmised.
But then a third person arrived, but this one was a massive bombshell. This new girl, looking similar to Enterprise and Kaga, was the former's older sister. The intros looked to be needed for later, as Enterprise actually sensed Kaga's ships being active.
"I doubt Kaga would actually try to attack you two outright now, but you guys can crash in my ship for now," Guzma offered, "at least until I talk to her. C'mon!" he called out, waving in a direction and looking like he was ready to run.

Junko Enoshima - Hill of Origin
Bingo! Guess her assessment had been right, like usual. Still it seemed like not everyone here had a full grasp on the situation, though the ‘growing to maturity’ thing really made her gears start turning.
“Suure seems awfully strange if you ask me. I’m still trying to wrap my wittle head around what you just said. Is there someone else I could ask who might know more? Cuz this is all still vewwy confusing to me!”
Her eyes turned as she saw Astra fly up, trying to get a rough estimate of how fast the dragon was flying. There was no telling how many of these people would try to kill her once they realized she was so full of despair, but since her talent was fudged so much, she’d take what data she could get.
Seeing the other shipgirl appear before Enterprise made Junko want to poke her awake, but those dreams were quickly squashed when she woke up. Seemed these two were sisters. It was so sad and despairing that her sister Mukuro couldn’t be there with her. Or Mikan. Or Yasuke. Or just about anyone really.
Junko’s sparkling eyes would meet Oscar’s own as he gave her that dismissive look. She could feel her whole sense of self-worth evaporate as he turned his attention away from her and towards that sleepy, ugly, smelly sister. She was no Toko or Jill, but even the tiniest smidgen of despair like this was worth the taste.
All that talk of order and reason would be really easy to twist into despair. All she needed to do was make him feel that guilt when all that order came crumbling down and he’d have to kill every last person on this planet to maintain that.
“Puhu~!” she said in that same cutesy voice.
By shaping, did that mean guiding whoever else lived here like mindless sheep? She did that pleenty of times, so guess it was up to her to do it all again. Maybe not in the same exact way, but she’d figure it out sooner or later.
Junko’s attention then turned towards Cagliostro, who from what she could glimpse seemed to be writing stuff down. She said something about there being a great war and her lands being uplifted into the skies, so maybe there was something in that story that was really exciting and despair-inducing. Magic was something that was new to her after all. Cagliostro sure seemed excited, though maybe there was a bit too much hope in that for Junko’s liking. Junko was getting kinda bored and she kinda wanted to see how desolate the city was but sticking around wouldn’t hurt that much.
“Hey,” Junko said as she tried to catch a glimpse of whatever Cagliostro was writing, “watcha writing in there?”
Her eyes briefly seemed to shift when she heard Guzma mention the “dwarves” and “ship.” Was that ship the one in plain sight?
Things sure seemed tense right now. Apparently this “Kaga” person must have been the enemy of those sisters back where they were from. It was almost like everything was going to explode at any given moment now, and Junko didn’t even have to do anything!
Maybe she should follow them.
Yorktown - Green Hill Zone
"Oh? Maybe I should take leisurely naps more often if it means I can have my little sister greeting me so warmly," Yorktown gently teased and returned the hug, a small smile curling up just barely at the ends of her lips."And you too." She patted the Eagle's head tenderly
"Kaga? Here?" she asked. Her smile faded and she slightly chewed on her lip as she considered the implications. "I... I won't let her hurt you," she stated, putting a firm arm around Enterprise's shoulders. "That's what big sisters are for, aren't they?"
"Your ship?" she asked Guzma. "What do you mean?"
Naga - Zero Dawn
"DOHOHOHO!" Naga bellowed as she ran towards the source of a loud commotion she could hear. Finally getting close enough to see, she saw...."Oh..." she remarked, her tone somewhat disappointed at seeing Wulfrik struggling with a giant cat golem. "It's just you."
M16A1 - Walking Around
"Jesus, what is that thing?" M16 gawked, her eye widening in horror. "You... you poor thing. Is that grayscale? Holy shit."
Kawakaze - Asking for directions
"Here meaning this general area.... this seems like Akihabara, but this is... not the Sakura Empire I remember" Kawakaze responded, the question she was asking may have been basic information to most but the first thing on her mind previously had been to escape the impending WWII battle royal, so she continued. "To be honest I am not sure where to go from here, and am trying to figure that part out"
Kaga - Walking Around
"That.... is a phone?" Kaga queried, more impressed about the phone itself then the computer at the moment. "Where is the wire? Is it just a little radio? What is the range on it?" The fox queried more, as there was now ideas of the practical uses of such a device floating around in her head "Every kid had one" what if it was given to pilots? That would be nice, being able to contact the flight crews at a distance.... having them being able to communicate without hand signals.....
The musing was cut off though, when the first of her aircraft arrived back, turning back into a talisman for the fox to snag, and only the one at this time. "They found something..."

Enterprise - Hill
The eagle was happy to see Yorktown back, and obviously enjoyed the headpats. Enterprise meanwhile nodded to Guzma, thanking him for his offer before turning to Yorktown again.
"I think he has a mass produced ship, you know those big ones for humans to ride in. If you're worried about trusting him, he doesn't seem like the kind of guy the sakura empire would normally invoke loyalty in...and he wears his heart on his sleeve."
Enterprise started following after Guzma.
Everyone was gonna know who worked for Majima, 'cause only a Majima man could be so stylish.
The Maestros grinned and cheerfully said in unison, "Of course, boss!"
"Honestly? Expect us to start sending you preliminary designs by tonight," Ionia said.
"This is something we're actually decent at, for once. We'll make sure that you get the fanciest suit, in any case," Aeolia said.
