Tavern 1 - Supplies

Hunk picked up a pitcher and inspected it, it was perfectly normal drinking water. He took a swig and then said. "Congratulations, you have one good use at this time."

He continued, practically gulping down the pitcher as if he were a man dying of thirst. His mind was already working on what benefits she could bring, but her incredible stupidity seemed to outweigh any actual use.

"If only you could cure physical fatigue and exhaustion, then you may actually be helpful," Hunk commented, he was goading her. The evaluation had only just begun.

Saria - Tavern 1

"Can't say I've heard about that tournament, Mai," Saria answered with a shake of her head. "Or almost any of the other names mentioned thus far."

Thus the video showcase began, along with an explanation of what they were looking at. It... did not sit very well with the Vouivre, whose expression soured bit by bit. It all just sounded... a bit too familiar for her liking, and not in a good way.

"I have two questions. First... what is it that they actually wish to accomplish by creating the Tyrants, on top of attempting to make them intelligent yet completely obedient? And second... what is your personal stance on this scientific research field as a whole?"

Daisy Buchanan, outside and used to be near a moth

Daisy listened carefully to Bucky's story about how he's trying to escape these miniature planes and how he believed that they had something to do with a group called HYDRA. She never heard of such group before but from what Bucky said about them, they apparently did quite horrific things to the point it gave him... Shell Shock. Wait was Shell Shock usually for soldiers? No, HYDRA made him fight a lot, so it probably counts.

She thought about whether or not destroying the planes would lead to HYDRA tracking her down because of it. Eventually, she came to a decision.

She took off her heels and threw them at the planes, hoping to hit them. If HYDRA makes her a target for that, she'll just run away to another place. That's what she did when she ran over Tom's mistress, Myrtle.

Galo and Lio, prepared to finally leave the vicinity of This Goddamn Tavern

"Alright then! So you're heading to the Arcade too? Sweet! That makes three of us! We can go together!" Galo said excitedly to Akechi, but then Lio stepped in front of him, and flashed Akechi a brilliant, charming smile.

"Excuse me, but me and my partner and have some things we need to talk about, so we're just going to leave you be for a few minutes, but we'll be back in no time, I promise." Lio said warmly, then just as Galo was about to protest, he took his partner by the hand and led him away from Akechi, to the back of the tavern where he hoped they wouldn't be overheard.

"Hey, what was that for?" Galo groaned, although he didn't sound truly offended. It was hard for him to be genuinely upset with Lio, he was usually only mildly annoyed at worse. "We were just starting to make friends with that guy!"

Lio let a long sigh that was probably meant to convey annoyance but ended up carrying a hint of amusement despite himself. "Galo Thymos, you really have no sense of self-preservation, do you?"

"Nope!" Galo boasted proudly, giving Lio a thumbs up as he grinned so brightly it could have lit up a dark cave. "I won't let anything come between me and saving the day! Not even fear itself! I've got the burning soul of a true firefighter!"

Lio chuckled, smiling widely as well. God he loved Galo. "As impressive as that is, Thymos, this is unfamiliar territory." His expression seemed to harden, becoming more serious. "We need to be on our guard. We can't just befriend anyone who crosses our path. We have to be careful, and I don't trust that guy we just talked to as far as I can throw him."

"You could probably throw him pretty far. You ought to give your own strength more credit." Galo said lightheartedly, causing Lio to stifle another laugh.

"That may be true, but I still don't like him." Lio said between giggles.

"Lio, you can't just not trust someone because they give off bad vibes!" Galo began. "I mean cumon, you spent most of your time burning down buildings! But you never actually killed anyone, and you fought for the greater good! But the edgy aesthetic and, yknow, the whole burning down buildings thing, it totally put everyone off! They hated you! But I thought there might be good in you, and I tried to find it, and look where we are now!"

"Behind a tavern in a weird city in the middle nowhere, who knows how many miles from Promepolis?" Lio scoffed.

"No! Well, yeah, I guess so, but...that's not what I meant!" Galo groaned. "What I meant is that we're together! We're buddies! We've got a bond, we'd never abandon each other! I'd go to the ends of the earth if it meant helping you...and I know you'd do the same for me. So please, just give this weird guy a chance! If it turns out he's evil like Kray, we can totally kick his ass! But maybe he's not, and if he isn't, he could turn out to be an ally for life. Do you understand?"

Lio paused, seeming to think about this. Then he sighed in resignation, looking away to try and hide his expression, one of happiness, love and admiration for his partner. "Fine." he said in a tone that was probably supposed to be serious but came out sounding quite lighthearted. "We'll give him a chance. But if he does anything to hurt you, he's gonna know what it feels like to be burnt."

"That's the spirit!" Galo said enthusiastically, jumping up and down in place. "See, you're getting it now! Just, uh, if he does turn against us, try and remember that whole 'no killing' policy you made for Bad Burnish. Got it?"

Lio nodded.

"Alright then! Let's get this show on the road!" Galo declared, taking Lio by the hand and heading back out towards Akechi. "Cumon Lio, let's show this guy we're worth having as travel partners!" He approached Akechi, giving him the thumbs up. "We're all ready to go!"

Sayaka

On the road next to Shantae

As she heard Bucky declare that he came in peace, Sayaka vanished the swords in front of her. It seemed that he wouldn’t kick her in the head, at least not immediately. She was desperately trying to make sense of what the man with the metal arm was trying to say.
According to him, the cult at the bar was trying to force him to hurt people. And they were sending the airplanes to chase him. Then, did HYDRA force him to attack the boy with the stool at the tavern? Sayaka saw Daisy try to drive away the planes by throwing a shoe at them. Perhaps Sayaka shouldn’t have put away her swords.

Tavern 1 - Operational Discussion

Hunk took another heavy drink of water. "Lirus, don't know about that. As for facing them, the trick was to only face the currently most aggressive ones, the rest can be avoided, Tyrants hold top priority. Two to three action express rounds to the head can stun them for a short amount of time," he explained to Chimneyfoot.

At Mai. "No tournaments or towns I'm aware of, but my knowledge is limited to needed operations, and to ask someone to record the name of every state and city, and every activity, is an impossibility anyways."

To Sarius. "Ask the numerous militaries across the globe, such as the United States, what they seek to gain from the Tyrants. My bet is a soldier that can be dropped into any scenario and then proceed to complete tasks without question. As for personal opinions, Umbrella has funded numerous other non military research. Medical fields have advanced significantly and even vaccines against many non mutative diseases have been found thus improving general health. Adravil, Safespin, Aqua Cure, to say nothing of the first aid spray."

Hunk dug into his rucksack and pulled out an empty aeresol can and tossed it over. "Closes wounds within seconds and has a painkiller, I had to scavenge and save what of those I could."

Tavern 2, just outside

"Wait, wait!" Cheetor padded after the armoured girl as she set off down the street; given his own speed, it didn't take long for him to catch up. "This is unknown territory-you can't just walk off alone." He thought back to the first few days of the Beast Wars, when he'd been in charge of renaissance-and winced a bit at how many scrapes and near-misses he'd blundered himself into whenever he charged off alone. Well, if nothing else, there was no teacher like experience.

Then Brigitte pointed out that nobody seemed to know what city this was. "Maybe they abandoned it," he suggested. "No cars on the road, no ships in the sky..." He looked around at some of the buildings, made out of actual bricks, of all things. "... and nobody's built stuff out of bricks for meta-cycles." He paused and realized that he had no idea what humans built their homes out of, then grinned awkwardly. "Uh, I mean, no offense if you do, of course."

This didn't entirely explain why hundreds of humans-a part of him still couldn't believe that, actual living humans-aliens, and a single Cybertronian had been warped in here, but he had to start somewhere.

Tron/Gustaff

Oh, I assure you, madam, he's quite well-trained, and well-groomed come to that.

"I don't have time for pets" Tron huffed dismissively. that was what all dog owners say isn't it? Just before their back is turned and they start biting, then it's all "oh, goodness, that's never happened before. I can't imagine what's gotten into him!"
But whatever, she didn't like dogs, and dogs never liked her, if this pet owner didn't like that then that was his problem. But as long as she stayed in the Gustaff there was no sense getting hung up on the dog when there were bigger issues at hand.

"I tried contacting my Servbots on the radio and all I got was static too. Either we're out of range or something's blocking communications" She added as Bridgette tried to contact someone and a bystander mentioned his phone not working.

If you guys are looking around, I did see a weird building from the air earlier. Big, never moves, painted like some child's toy?

Tron just blinked inside the cockpit at the weird statement, buildings weren't supposed to move in the first place after all. "That does sound kind of suspicious, checking that out might be more helpful than trying to triangulate where we are based on where we all came from since we don't know how we got here"

Stocking - Outside, En Route to Arcade

As Stocking returned the handshake, Enty would be able to tell that the angel's dainty hands were deceptively strong. Humming, Stocking considered this new information. "Hm. Guess that's better than nothing. Very well, let's go then."

Nodding to Akechi, she made to follow him to the arcade, pausing briefly when the two flamboyant (and frankly adorable) men approached them. She seemed almost amused at their antics. When the pair went off to talk, Stocking fiddled around with a pocket hidden inside her dress, and retrieved a lollipop, which she unwrapped and began to suck on.

"I am curious what kind of magic a human can learn." She casually chatted up Akechi. "Almost looked like some kind of demon summoning-"

Then Galo and Lio returned, and Stocking gave them a cute little smirk around her lolly. "Y'know, if you're worried about us finding out you're gay, don't be. I'm bi as shit, and if anyone's bothered by that I'll kick their ass."

She briefly looked towards their hands, which they'd been holding as they walked over. "Also, if you are trying to keep your relationship on the DL, you should probably be a little less obvious about it."

What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

Nia, City Streets: The Bucky Stops Here

Seeing the situation deescalate (minus the part where that girl in blue pulled out her swords for a moment), her body loosened up, but only slightly as the soldier told his story. What she can gather from his explanation, it sounds like he wanted out of a war, and this HYDRA group wouldn't let him. She can feel something in her heart, yet she can't describe what it was. Sympahty? Sorrow? Pain? Horror?

The titan-less aircraft called "planes" are a cause for concern, but so far, they haven't shot at them. But that wasn't enough to dissuade some from attacking them or attempting to in some cases. Seeing as she's now on Team "Not Destroy the Planes" she shouted at them, "Oi! Cut that out!"

She'd wondered what her team would do in this situation Of course, her first thought went to Mòrag since she's the most familiar with all this military stuff, so she tried to channel her as best as she could, "Look pal. I don't know who any of these people are beyond "not from my home." I'm willing to bet the same goes for you and everyone here. I doubt any of these HYDRA bastards followed you here. Whoever they are back at the pub probably tried to calm it down, no doubt from some blighters." Her mind went back to Miss Screams-A-Lot and that Blue-haired Baby, but she continued, "Besides, if they wanted you back, they would have shot us as soon as they could."

In her mind, she crossed her fingers to hope that her interpretation of the Special Inquisitor's diplomacy would do the trick.

Donnie, Geeking Out

HYDRA? Deep freeze? Project Insight? What? The more Bucky talked, the more confused Donnie became. What was going on? Did these...HYDRA guys kidnap everyone? If they were the people back at the tavern...well, no, those people had been just as confused and scared as he everyone else had been. They probably weren't whatever HYDRA was.

"Yeah, the, uh, cat-eared girl has a point," Donnie said, absently tapping his wrist. "It's probably not them. Also, what is HYDRA, what do you mean by deep freeze what's Project Insight why do you have a robot arm wait you have a ROBOT ARM?!"

And just like that, any danger was forgotten as Donnie zoomed up to Bucky, grabbing his arm to inspect it and grinning ear to ear. "I've never seen anything like this! We have prosthetics but none of them are this advanced, how does this thing work? How was it built? This could revolutionize the field of robotics!"

Despite Donnie's...disregard of personal space, it was clear to everyone (Bucky hopefully included) that this was more due to overexcitement than any actual malice.

Outside Tavern 1 -> Inside Tavern 1 -> Outside Tavern 1, On The Way To The Arcade

"Oh!" Enterprise remembered something important just as Galo and Lio broke away from the group for a minute. "I need to grab my things; left them inside. I'll be right behind you!"

Spinning on her heel, she headed back into the tavern and made a beeline for her bag at the bar, pretty much ignoring the rest of the room as she was lost in thought about the uneasy feeling she had suddenly gotten from Goro, not to mention the feedback from her planes exploring the interior of the Arcade.

No way! That's an actual Replicator! she crowed internally, grinning hugely. I never thought I would see something like that in real life! Wooooooohooooooo!

Slinging her bag over her shoulder, she held her opposite arm out in the classic falconer's pose and called to her bird: "Grim, come!"

Having relented in his efforts to drink the holy water that Trevor claimed was poison, Grim Reaper was rather put-out, and so was glad to see the return of his Mistress, quickly flapping off the wood and heading over to perch on her arm. "Were you a good boy while I was away, Grim~?" she cooed, beaming at him.

The bird chirped and bobbed his head in confirmation, looking briefly over at Kobeni in particular. "Is that so?" his Mistress said, quirking a brow in faux-skepticism. "Well then, I think you deserve a treat~!"

Treat?! Grim tweeted several times in enthusiasm.

"By the way, you all," Enty added to those who were gathered talking and drinking, "I don't want to ruin your conversation or anything, but I found something interesting! Some of us are going to head to the massive building outside with the eye-searingly bright paint. I think we may be able to find some answers there... hopefully. So, feel free to join us there whenever you feel like it!"

That said, she turned again and headed right back out the door, just in time to hear Stocking's commentary to Galo and Lio. "Oh, you are?" she said to the lads with a happy smile. "Good for you! Sorry, I didn't even realize, ha! Of course, I don't have any problem with you, either. God knows we have plenty of same-sex relationships in the Navy, heh!"

While she talked, the miniature runway she'd left nearby began hovering again and maneuvered over to her side, whereupon she set her bag down on it and Grim hopped off her arm to sit on it as well. Then she quickly fished out her keys and headed over to the side of the building to retrieve her motorbike. In short order, she was astride her bike - which hummed fairly quietly, being electric - and pulled back over to the rest of the group.

"Okay!" she cheered. "Now I'm really ready to go! Sorry for the wait! I've got room for one more on this thing, if anybody wants to ride with me! I'd offer to let you sit on the runway and be carried, too, but my planes may need it to land on, so..."


Within the Walls of the Arcade

Considering their commander's fascination with the Replicator, one of the trio of planes broke off from formation on command and carefully landed on top of the "Prize Counter" to monitor in case anyone else made use of the device in a way that could be learned from. The other two aircraft moved higher up and began doing circuits around the inside of the building just to keep an eye on things in case they saw or heard anything of interest.

Narancia ran out the tavern door with fierce determination in his eyes. If people can enter this city, then there's gotta be an exit as well! I'll find it and get back to the others, and if anyone tries to stop me, I'll shoot them full of holes!

He stopped in the street and looked around uncertainly. "Okay, but where...?," he mumbled, and turned to Robo-Ky. "Uh... hey, robot man? You got any ideas?"

Outside

No sooner did the planes arrive, a man in black came to a sudden stop and then start talking about Hydra and not wanting to go back to them. Buzz unlike the others, was processing what the man was saying and doing but before he could approach the man, Sayaka start summoning her swords from the ground, Daisy was throwing a shoe at one of the plane cameras and Donnie was now going up and close and examining Bucky’s arm. Nia shouted at them to stop what they were doing and proceeded to talk to the man. Buzz could only facepalm in irritation: “What did I just say?” He muttered under his breath to himself, he approached the man, but not before he frowned at Donnie: “Donnie, please step away from him, now’s not the time for that. We are trying to calm down him down not make him uncomfortable.” He said sternly telling off Donnie. He turned to the man: “I don’t know what this HYDRA is, but I’m fairly certain that even they would be confused about this place if not frightened. It’s a perfectly normal reaction to all of this, but if you stick with us, I’m fairly certain we will find out the answers to our problem very soon. We really aren’t your enemies at all.”

After Shantae turns back, Kirby introduces himself to her.

"My name's Kirby! I'm from a place called Dream Land..."

After the turn of events, Kirby remarks "I don't think i ever knew things like that!" He refers to the planes from earlier. "Airships, yes, but..."

"What's a HYDRA, anyway?"

Shantae the half-genie hero - The streets

Shantae tensed up as soon as the mysterious individual explained his situation. He was being tailed by the metal birds? She had to stop them! She put on a determined look and began to sway her hips, intending on starting a transformation dance, but stopped and shuddered as snow began to fall from the sky. She knew transforming into a harpy with this much ice in the air would royally mess up her flying.

Instead she focused on the nearest plane, concentrating her mana. "Storm—" she started to shout, before both Nia and Buzz scolded the group, telling them to cease their fire. Shantae raised an eyebrow, looking back towards the two.

"I've never heard of a hydra before either," Shantae said. She turned back towards Bucky. "Look. Tempers are flaring, and people are jumpy, I've noticed. We're all confused and scared. So let's just calm down and get to the bottom of this. My new friend Teemo here's already drawing a map of this place. So hopefully we can figure out our bearings," she explained. "If we keep looking around, maybe we'll find a lead. Maybe if we find the local ruler's palace, the palace guards might be able to explain where we are."

Outdoor group, under planes

Bucky was clearly rather startled at how immediately some of the folks he'd run into reacted to try and fight against the seeming drones when he blurted out all he could. Even the nice looking woman who seemed like she didn't have any degree of combat training was throwing her shoes at them. She stood a good chance of getting herself killed with that degree of reacting in the face of violence, but he had to admit he respected it.

The fact that it seemed to suddenly start snowing would have had a lot more of his attention, if not for the fact that when it happened, at the same time, Bucky suddenly had a strange, sentient turtle kid admiring his arm, and a small pink ball of some sort speaking to him.

Fortunately, the shock of everything seemed to stop him from any further violent reactions.

"You don't understand!" he insisted, though with a bit less panic and a bit more of a determined air to get his point across. "Not ten minutes ago, Captain America and I were fighting on the helicarrier, he was trying to stop HYDRA from using their ships to kill millions of people! He won, everything was crashing and I...I was...realizing everything, and...and then I was here, and that woman...she called me 'Soldier', she called me what they called me, and they were able to do something to me, make my body stop moving, they usually need the...th-the words to do that, and they froze me and it...all of it is HYDRA! And those things, those were following me all this way no matter how hard I tried to shake them!"

He didn't pull away from Donnie's inspection on his arm, just looking more desperate to make the others understand.

With Bucky & Co.

The planes barely reacted to being assaulted, simply pulling some slick aerial moves to artfully dodge the incoming shoes and so forth. Ironically, it was the humble, frightened Frosmoth whose actions did the most to dissuade them. Ice and planes definitely didn't mix well, so the plane that had been looping near Donnie and the ones circling higher up quickly merged into a single, larger triangle formation and began soaring away, back in the direction that the ones that had initially been following Elephant Shantae had come from...

Mai, Inside Tavern 1 to Outside Tavern 1, Following Enterprise

Mai seemed to think over what Trevor said for quite a while before coming to a horrible conclusion about holy water.

"Eww, TMI!" Mai shook her head, grossed out. With Trevor guarding the bottle opener with his dear life, Mai put her pilfered bottle of alcohol back into her clothes.

"The tournament airs on TV around the world," Mai clarified before looking at Trevor and pointing at the VCR set up, namely the screen of it. "Before you ask, that is a TV."

Finally, Enterprise had entered back in to retrieve her pet bald eagle, Grim. Apparently, they might've found something which got Mai to stand up, ready to leave with Enterprise. Between Hunk showing them a Zombie Apocalypse and Trevor's implications about holy water, she did not want to be in this conversation anymore.

"I'd love to continue to chat and drink with you guys, but I do want to get back to South Town," Mai waved goodbye to the lot of them. She couldn't be wasting time here when there's a possibility to figure out a way to get back home to Andy.

Daisy Buchanan, Outside and Under planes

As Daisy picked up her fallen shoes, annoyed at the planes dodging them, she heard Buzz and Nia call ceasefire. She nodded and puts on her shoes. By then, she noticed it'd been snowing and she extended her palm towards the snow, letting the snowflakes land there.

She watched Donnie admire Bucky's arm and Kirby approach him. She listened to Bucky's story, noting his desperation.

Definitely a shell-shocked solider, albeit she can't say that last word within Bucky's earshot. Daisy's definitely smart enough to know that won't be a good idea.

"Well, Sir," Daisy said. "I would normally suggest running away, but I think you did enough of that already. That and when I ran away from an... incident and moved to Chicago, I ended up in this place as well. I suppose we have to solve our problems together."

Daisy paused for a moment before glancing into Bucky's eyes. "And more about my move to Chicago, when I walked inside my new home, I ended up in a speakeasy. My husband was nowhere in sight and I ran around looking for him but I couldn't find him. So, yes, I do at least understand what you're saying and I do relate to your confusion."

Kobeni - Tavern 1 - Logic!

At first, Kobeni cowered then felt eventual relief at the Water Goddess' divine judgement! Then... "What are- I mean- N-Not... really..." Kobeni... pauses for a moment, upon the comment if she would jump at a fire at the goddess' command. The Vampire Hunter has a point. S-she doesn't necessarily need to stick to Aqua, does she? And-

Ah- Feeling Grim Reaper freeing himself, the girl then watched him(i-it's a he, right?) return back to his owner with a bit of a dejected look, waving at it goodbye.

Then came Trevor's delightful comment about 'piss holy water' and how fortunate it is that Kobeni didn't swallow, which cause the Devil Hunter to almost retch up.

"P-p-p-please don't say it like that..." Kobeni instinctively covered her mouth. Was it really piss water? It... it doesn't taste like piss. But- But then again, she never really knew what that taste was like... and...

W-wait, why is she in this train of thought?!

"Bleeeeee-egh!" In-between the graphic display of Hunk's Zombie Devils in video form, their discussion about zombie virus outbreak and that line of thought, it's a good thing that Enterprise then told them all that she found something that could provide answers(the one thing Kobeni and many others are looking for), to distract her from excusing herself into the bathroom.

"... U-um!" Kobeni tries raising both her voice and hand up at the nearby bar-goers. "I-I-I think it's clear that we... d-don't actually know what's going on. I-I thought it was because of Aqua-san, then T-Trevor-san's Infinite Corridor theory sounded p-plausible, but... you aren't r-really sure too, are you?"

"T-that's why, um-" she thought about heading out with Enterprise outside too, but... she-she probably has loads following her already... I-I mean, why wouldn't she?! And there's... likely no room for a scaredy-cat like her...

Even so!

"I-i-if any of you are going there later... then please let me follow, too! I-I promise I won't freak out!" Maybe.

Heck, even if it's just Aqua that's willing to take her on, Kobeni takes what she can get!

Nia, City Streets: Where's a Personal Heater When You Need One?

Nia was too into the situation that she noticed the air around her getting colder. Seeing the snow drive off the planes, at least one part of the problem's taken care of. The fact that he told what he was doing before he got here helped her understand what he's thinking. Being unable to move your body as it just follows a command just sounds... horrifying. And from just a few words too.

A soft shiver came from Nia's mouth as she tries to bundle herself up, "Let's go with the girl in the purple hair said and move on. Preferably before my arse freezes out here."

"I treasure every day with you, darling." "No need to be so sappy, love." "You know that's how she is, Nia." - AU!Pyra, Nia, Mythra

Teemo outside

"Well if you where crashing then how come you suddently appeared in a tavern? For the other stuff with how many magic we have seen paralysing someone doesnt seem so fishy, it would be weirder if someone recognised you considering no one knows each other when we arrived here and about the word thats pretty common word to define someone and with your physique you look strong enough to punch a house down."

Teemo spoke his mind about what bucky just told the group in his opinion this poor guy is clearly shellshocked so he made his best to try to calm him by explaining that its very unlikely he is in the warzone.

"Wait why is it snowing?"

Teemo held his hand as some snowflakes acumulated into it. Odd snow doesnt happen this abruptly.

"Oh yeah like Shantae said I've been mapping our steps so far its pretty small all things considered but you start from somewhere!"

Aqua - Tavern 1: Aqua and the Axis Cult

"Hmmph... of course I can...."

Aqua crosses her arms and looks grumpy.

...and then bored. This sciencey stuff that the guy and the tall dragon lady were talking about seemed kinda boring.

"Heal!"

A wave of blue light shoots out at Hunk to wash away his exhaustion.

"Ha! See!?" She holds her chin up proudly... then sloooooowly turns her head towards Saria, shrinking a few centimeters. "Um...." "That counts as asking! ...right....?"

She pales a little as she looks over towards her follower... trying to follow a group somewhere else?!

"Excellent! Onwards! Your goddess commands it~! She twirls her staff above her head. "All who join me on this adventure will surely have my divine protection and providence behind them!"

Donnie, a Cold-Blooded Animal In a Snow Flurry (what could go wrong?)

Unfortunately, the man hadn't answered any of his questions, Buzz told him to cut it out, and it was now snowing. Donnie overdramatically sighed and stepped back. The science would have to wait for another day, he supposed...

Preferably a day when it was less cold. Wow, the temperature had dropped fast. Donnie shivered and rubbed his arms, trying to warm himself up. It wasn't working. He was still cold. Very cold. Why couldn't the mutation have made him more resistant to cold?

"A-agreed," he said, teeth now chattering a bit. "L-l-let's go. P-p-preferably indoors. Before my shell f-f-freezes off."

"Look inside yourself and to the stars; there, you will find your answers."
