Saria - Leaving Tavern 1

Saria stared at the empty spray for a few moments, and afterwards just handed it back over. It didn't seem like Hunk's response had fully convinced her, but fortunately she did not press the issue any further. She could tell the man was not in the best state either way, and at that point it was probably better to save strength.... ooooor Aqua could just heal him out of nowhere, that worked too.

"...I'll allow it."

The arrival of Enterprise and subsequent announcement that she would be moving out to find answers in some aesthetically deficient building out there. And a few of the others seemed intent on leaving. Of course, she had no intention of staying behind herself.

"I'll be heading out as well," the Vouivre confirmed with a nod, standing up and already making her way outside, shield in hand. "I think I've had enough time to get most of the shock and confusion out of my system, so I may as well go out there and seek some proper answers alongside everyone else."

Galo and Lio, Somehow Still Not Having Left The Tavern's Vicinity Yet And Having Just Had Something Very Interesting Said To Them

"WHA HUH WHA HUH WHA?!?!" Galo gasped, his jaw dropping an almost cartoonish amount as he nearly fell over backwards, his face blushing so red that his entire head resembled a beetroot with blue hair. "I mean, uh, uh uh uh....I didn't think, but, I guess...I mean...uhhhhhhhh...I haven't really had much time to think about it, but...I mean..."

Lio had a similar response, his eyes bulging so wide they looked like they were about to pop out of his head and roll around on the ground, blushing so fiercely it seemed like all the blood in his body had gone into his head simultaneously. And was he...smoking? Yeah, that was definitely a bit of steam emanating off of his body, but Lio was so flustered he didn't seem to have noticed. And at his feet, if someone looked closely, they might be able to see small superheated pink flames licking at the ground...

"WHAT?!?" he yelped. "I mean...Thymos...I...he...we...we're not a thing! Yet! Not yet! I...I do really like you, though Galo, I can't deny that, I just...ARGH! We don't have the time to be thinking about things like dating, dammit! I never did! We've got bigger fish to fry, just like we did before we ended up in this place! I..I want to figure this out eventually, but we have to get out of here first! Do you understand?"

"Yeah..." Galo said, still blushing intensely. "I guess..." He didn't seem as determined to figure things out later as Lio was. Part of him wanted to have this conversation now, to explore the feelings that the words "you're gay" had caused to erupt inside of him with ferocious strength, but he didn't want to risk upsetting Lio. He could ask him about it later, right now there were other things they had to do. He turned to Enty. "Sorry, I'd love to, but...I don't want us to leave each other behind. We're stronger when we're together! We're going with that other guy, right Lio?"

"Right." Lio said, still blushing considerably but trying his best to put on a look of determination and pointing towards Akechi. "What Galo said. We're heading to the Arcade with him. I do appreciate your kindness, though." He flashed Enty a charming smile.

Heading to the Arcade

"Damn, he's taken..." said Akechi in a mischievous tone after watching Lio pull Galo aside and then return. What this was supposed to imply...use your imagination.

He looked to Stocking. "Well, you aren't entirely off-base." It appeared to be in response to her comparing his power to summoning a demon. "The sorts of beings we deal in tend to take the forms of beings from mythology, including, yes, demons. It's only to be expected in a world shaped by cognition. Although, I don't think most people call 'him' a demon often..."

There was a pause, as if Akechi was focusing on something. But after a few seconds, that dark suit from before appeared again, and he smirked as if reassured of something.

"So I can summon it at will...that could have been inconvenient. In any case—"

He stopped walking, lifted his hand to his face...paused, as if very briefly debating something in his head, and again raised his mask into the air.

"To me, Loki!"

The figure from before appeared again, but this time stuck around long enough to get a proper look at. It was a strange, angular thing, patterned near-head-to-toe in dazzle camouflage, with a pair of horns extending from his head. The figure was perched casually atop a long, red sword, a pair of dreadlocks the length of the rest of its body draped down behind it. It was hard to tell if its feet were hooves or just wearing ridiculously high gold heels.

It turned its head to look at Stocking, and if she looked closely she'd notice it appeared to be...grinning?

After a few seconds, it disappeared, replaced again with the mask. "Any questions?" Akechi asked, in a teasing way; from the look on his face, he already knew there would be several questions.

Within the Arcade

Somehow, the metal rack turned slightly in Enty's plane's direction. Somehow this made no horrible metal screeching noise, or a noise at all.

"Ah, yes. You belong to the ship woman, correct?" said the rack. Its voice was masculine and clearly synthesized, though not entirely devoid of emotion. "The replicator is free for all to use, though is configured for only snacks. You are also free to use any of the consoles and tables about the Arcade, at your leisure."

More visible at this distance was a nameplate on the counter just in front of where the rack was standing. It was hard to read from this angle, but did have a short word engraved on it. T-E-S...'TESTER'?

Frosmoth fam

"Yeah, that's right!" the Frosmoth yelled at the absconding aeroplanes. "Get lost! I may not know what you are but I can still Blizzard you into oblivion! Bye, you weird...metal bird...things."

He remained in midair for a few moments, returning his attention to the rest of the assembled group. They seemed more preoccupied with the frightened man with scruffy hair than with him, though, which he seemed to find reassuring. He descended again, though not completely, watching them.

"Yeah, what the pink thing said. I've never heard of a 'HYDRA' in my life. I've heard of a pokémon called Hydreigon, but I don't think that's related...

"Um..." it said sheepishly. "If you guys aren't dangerous...can I follow you? A-at a distance."

Stocking - Outside, En Route to Arcade

The pairs' reactions caused Stocking to involuntarily let out an unladylike snort. "God, you're both adorable. If you ever feel like trying to sandwich a lady between you, call me."

She winked at them teasingly. Then she turned back to Akechi, watching him summon the creature from before. "Cognition means thoughts, right? So that thing is... what, your imaginary friend? You must have a weird-ass imagination."

When Enty pulled up on her bike, Stocking raised a hand. "Dibs." Striding over, she hopped onto the bike with casual ease, taking a seat behind Enty and wrapping her arms around Enty's midsection. Honekoneko was sandwiched safely between the two women.

"Let's get a move on." Stocking said, "I can feel my blood sugar decreasing by the minute."

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

Sayaka

On the road next to Shantae

When Daisy was throwing her shoes at the planes, Sayaka was thinking about how to bring down the planes, as her skills were geared towards melee combat, and she wasn’t able to fly. Thankfully, because she had to stop and think, this bought enough time for her to read the room and decide that she probably shouldn’t attack the airplanes. Perhaps some problems could be solved by having a conversation, after all.
Then, it started to snow. She stuck her tongue out and tasted it. It really was snow, the same as it was at home.

On The Way To The Arcade

Enterprise's eyebrow rose at the display of Goro's Persona, though she looked thoughtful afterwards. "I suppose something shaped of cognition isn't completely out of the question, technologically speaking," she said with a shrug. "KAN-SENs like me are formed from the interaction of a ship hull and the memories of humanity associated with said ship via application of a Wisdom Cube. Which, for example, means I was formed using a relic of the original aircraft carrier USS Enterprise CV-6, and have the memories of the people who were aboard me while I was a ship. Thanks for sharing, anyway, Goro! It's very interesting!"

She shrugged with a smile, then added to the Promepolis pair as Stocking climbed onto her ride, "Oh, don't worry, I'll drive slow enough that we can go together!"

"I have some food in my bag if you want some to tide you over, Stocking," she offered at the candy-haired lady's comment about blood sugar as they began rolling at a steady but fairly slow pace down the road toward the Arcade, the airstrip with the bag and Grim Reaper atop it floating along with them and keeping pace. "I was on a road trip, so it's just some basic snack food, though. Trail mix and granola bars and that sort of thing. There's some meat, too, but that's for Grim..."

Enty trailed off as she used her plane at the Arcade counter to read what she could of the nameplate labeling the monitors on the shelf, her blood running cold and body suddenly tensing. "For... for my eagle, Grim Reaper..." She swallowed. "Well, the good news is, there's a matter replicator in the Arcade set to make snacks - you know, like from the Star Trek series? - so you should be able to have whatever snack food you want when we get there! Ha ha!" she capped off the 'good' news with a laugh, but it sounded incredibly forced.


Within the Arcade

At a new command from Enterprise, the pair of planes doing laps around the space dipped down and passed by the counter the other plane had landed on, trying to get a better view of the nameplate belonging to the rows of monitors.

Brigitte Lindholm - Default armor - Leaving the area of the more grim tavern - Walking with dinosaurs living history.

"I'm not helpless, and I'm not alone now," Brigitte said in response to Cheetor rather simply. She overheard the supposed witch girl mention a building not moving as if that was some kind of notable trait, but the squire engineer didn't think much of it; if they really were all from vastly different places, perhaps that girl came from a place where buildings moving was normal. After all, Brigitte didn't see any buildings moving right now.

As she kept walking, Brigitte thought to strike up some conversation with this feline Omnic thing. "... So, you said you've been to earth, but you're not from earth? And you kept talking about this 'Cybertron' like we're supposed to know what that is," she started, then remembered something else that was a little worrying to her. "Plus you seemed rather surprised about us humans being... Around, at all."

Shantae the half-genie hero - On the streets in the cold

Shantae watched as the planes began to leave. She shook her head, looking unsure, but relieved that they had made their way away. She looked right at Bucky, sighing.

"No, you're right, we don't understand," she told him simply. "I don't know who Captain America is, I don't know what a helicarrier is, we still don't know what HYDRA is, and I'm beginning to have the idea that none of us are where we're supposed to be. About fifteen minutes ago, I was chasing down my arch-enemy Risky Boots on the back of a giant bird in the middle of a cyclone, I was pulled off the bird's back and fell into sea," she explained. "If I hadn't found myself here for whatever reason, I would have most likely drowned."

She looked up at the sky, shivering again from the cold. She clutched her arms to her body.

"Now, I'm with the others. Let's find the palace or some other source of refuge. Frosmoth, you can totally come with us!" she said, moving down the street to both find a place with guards, and to get out of the snow. "My name's Shantae, and I'm a guardian genie. What's your name, mister?" she asked Bucky, walking and talking.

Trevor Belmont's Great Exodus From The Tavern... - Tavern 1

How's that for a karma: making your pet monster so smart, it begins to question the "pet" part. Trevor's lips quirked up slightly as he downed the last of his can. "Give it time; nobody said they're supposed to get it right on the first attempt." A beat. "Especially if they're going to be vomiting plagues on the side now and then."

Still, Hunk was pretty smart, goading Aqua to be useful. And hey, here were the good things his shadowy superiors did. Trevor eyed the little bottle of a "healing spray" with a raised eyebrow. Could have started with that to soften the blow, and yet he didn't. Honestly, Trevor wasn't sure if that was a display of integrity or utter arrogance. Speaking of integrity, Enty returned to fetch her eagle - and let them know of some mysterious building outside. Supposedly, answers could be found there.

...perhaps it was about time he stretched his bones. "Mhm. What does TV stand for?" Mai would not answer that question, leaving the tavern first and, well, he definitely sat here for long enough. Perhaps Aqua's presence was more bearable in rooms that didn't have such good acoustics... especially if both her and Kobeni wanted to tag along. At least they had Saria with them; Trevor did not feel responsible enough to manage two of these problems at once while on the move.

"Well, might as well go. One condition:" Here he pointed a finger at Aqua with a grumble. "try to speak as little as possible. And don't use your weird goddess magic on people without permission." Technically, it was two conditions but maybe Aqua was dumb enough to not notice.


...Right About Now - Outside Tavern 1

Well, Captain Enty had the right of it; it really made his eyes scream even from that far away. Also, the sky was blocks and it was colder than he would have liked. Grumbling, Trevor adjusted his coat. A few familiar faces were making a commotion nearby or getting ready to leave - he spotted Enty and Stocking leave on some kind of a... machine? More importantly, Chestnut was over there, too; showing off his... weird... demon thing?

Well, either way, best not to tempt fate. "Let's keep walking." Here, he pointed towards the nightmare obelisk up ahead. So far nothing's tried to eat his face yet, so he was cautiously optimistic that this wouldn't be the case... for now...

Tavern 1 - Mission Start

Hunk said nothing to Aqua before refocusing on everyone else as it was time to get moving. "Right, answers will be useful."

He put his helmet back on and followed everyone outside.

Outside Tavern 1

The state of the city and the sky was... unique, Hunk focused ahead and into the city. "A proper scouting of the city will be needed later, if we can find something like a police department we could fortify it as a base of operations," Hunk noted.

City streets

"Cybertron's my home planet." Cheetor explained as he sniffed the air, his olfactory sensors trying to find any kind of familiar scent in the air. "I was on Earth-prehistoric Earth-for a while, hence the fur coat..." he trailed off for a moment, as he tried to find the right way to explain the last few years of his life to the girl. "... well, we won the Beast Wars and saved the timestream. In the end. I think."

Cheetor gave the feline equivalent of a shrug as Brigitte asked about what he'd said back in the bar. "The Elders on the High Council said Earth was off-limits. Quarantined, or something. Where I'm from, in my time, nobody's seen a human in at least three hundred stellar cycles, so I guess we all just thought you guys had gone... but then, I don't think this is my time." He walked for a few moments, trying to piece together just where, or when, he'd wound up-when he flicked his eyes up to the sky, the unnatural clouds raised more questions than answers.

"Okay, your turn. Back there, you called me an 'omnic'. What's an omnic?"

The Robot without a Head

Before he could go and keep an eye on the determined kid, he had to say his goodbyes to the rest of the people still in the tavern, he open the door before turning back to the people “Anyway, I and the kid are going to go to see if we could try to find his stand friends, wish us luck” he says walking outside and closing the door after some time, the door reopens “And if you want to find us just look for a robot that looks like me, you can’t miss my good looks” and with the door is once more closed.

He turns back to Narancia who was asking him a question on where to know, Robo-Ky who knows as much as Narancia on the layout of the city, doesn’t know, and he wasn’t willing to go and pulls his head off again and so with quick thinking he had an idea “Let’s just walking around, we could find one of our friends or someone like us” he said spinning around, one of his hands coving his eyes and another pointing, he stops the spinning to point at one of the random streets “We go there” he said removing his hand coving his eyes and walking to the area.

Galo and Lio, Still Outside The Non-Grody Tavern

"Wait...you want us to team up with you to make sandwiches? Or do you mean you want us to make you into a sandwich?" Galo asked Stocking, looking at her in confusion in response to her proposal. "'Cause sorry, but me and Lio aren't magic! Or science wizards like Lucia. If she was here, she might be able to whip up some kind of science potion to transform you into one in an instant, POOF! She's not though." He sighed a bit at that, seeming a bit homesick for a moment, before returning to his previous goofy expression. "Anyway, I'd love to make some sandwiches with you sometime! That sounds great!"

Lio, having actually realized what Stocking meant by her statement, buried his face in his hands and groaned loudly at Galo's response.

"Galo, that's not what she meant..."

However, before he could explain what Stocking had actually been trying to say, Galo was distracted by the sudden appearance of Loki.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!?" Galo yelped, recoiling for the second time in a minute.

"Galo, language!" Lio cried as he removed his face from his hands, then he saw Loki too. "GYAH! WHAT THE FUCK?!?!"

"It looks like if you fused Mad Burnish armor with a zebra..." Galo muttered in amazement, still with an utterly bewildered expression on his face. "What is that thing?"

With the street group

Bucky watched as the strange drones took their leave, and he sighed, his body language visibly relaxing as they were gone. The others were talking about how this place likely didn't have HYDRA in it, and that none of them were in a place that was familiar.

He didn't quite know how to explain that he had never been in a place that was familiar ever that he could recall.

"HYDRA has its talons everywhere...in every level of every government, in high places in international businesses...you have no idea how far their reach spreads."

Still, at least the immediate danger seemed to be over, and he surveyed the bunch of people he was with. Several of them seemed to be uncomfortable with the cold and snow that had sprung up from nowhere, particularly the green child with the strange purple gear. Funny, some of his equipment actually looked more like pieces that Bucky had seen in use from members of his squad, but...it had never been purple before. He liked it more than the standard military flat black, at least.

On some level, there was a vague inkling that he should have a coat to take off and offer someone smaller, skinnier, during the cold, but he shook that off immediately. It wasn't like he'd ever been given a coat for a mission.

Still, he moved to walk with the rest of the group, seemingly utterly unconcerned with the cold around them. It wasn't until the woman with the strangely skimpy clothes...why were so many of these people so underdressed for this weather?...introduced herself as Shantae, and asked him his name, that his expression of concern faded into something more...confused, enough for him to stop walking.

"My...name...?"

In front of Tavern 2 >>> City Streets

Beginning to explore

"Uhm," mumbled Narancia in agreement. He followed Robo-Ky down the street the robot suggested, a bit cautiously. He was on edge, and wasn't yet sure if he could trust this guy at all, even if he was a cool robot.

Narancia continued down the street, staying on his guard. His mind was occupied by concerns about his companions. They've gotta be freaking out about me...

* * *

A restaurant in Venice, some time ago

A long-overdue flashback

The members of Team Bucciarati sat gathered around a table outdoors, over a lush lunch of shrimp and wine. The smell of Adriatic suffused the air. Mista, Abacchio and Narancia were enjoying the meal, chatting about nothing in particular. Bucciarati remained quiet and reserved, not touching the food, and occasionally saying a few words to Giorno, who stood off to the side.

Despite the casual atmosphere, Narancia couldn't shake the feeling of unease in his stomach. Just a few hours earlier, they had been loyal members of Passione. The organization's boss—a man whose face and real name were an uttermost secret—trusted them with a vital mission: to safely deliver Trish, his daughter, to a secret meeting place. They fulfilled their mission, protecting Trish from being captured by a rogue group of assassins and transporting her across Italy to a secluded island church. At the time, Narancia had been relieved that their mission was over, but also a little sad to part with Trish, whose company he'd gotten used to during their journey.

Then it all took a turn for the worse. Soon after Bucciarati had entered the church with Trish, they had found him near the building entrance, battle-scarred, barely alive, and carrying an injured Trish. To their shock, their leader revealed that the boss had no intention of reuniting with his daughter, but rather planned to kill her in order to erase any trace of his true identity. He then announced that he and Giorno were going to turn against the boss, no matter what the risk, and gave his men free choice whether they wished to join him. Despite some hesitation, nearly everyone decided to join him, although Narancia only made his decision at the last possible minute.

Now, the remaining members of the team were trying to figure out their next move, and anticipating the attack that the boss was surely planning to launch against them. Passione was filled with Stand users who could be sent to hunt them down; it was only a question of what form the attack would take.

Abacchio was the first of them to ask. "Bucciarati... what will we do next?"

Bucciarati remained silent for a moment before answering. He started by briefly recounting his encounter with the Passione boss, and his terrifyingly powerful Stand which rendered the boss essentially impervious to all attacks.

"However... that all changes once we pin down his identity!," Bucciarati continued. "Once we know his face, we can attack the boss himself and assassinate him! We must find the boss's identity at all costs!"

"But... how will we find that?," Mista asked anxiously. "The boss has erased all traces of his life!"

"Trish!," Abacchio chimed in. "Trish has some hint! Everyone's been going after Trish, and the boss was trying to kill Trish, too!... Am I right?"

They hesitated. Narancia felt that he had to protest. Trish had mercifully been unconscious throughout the whole ordeal, unaware that her own father had tried to kill her. He didn't want her to become any more involved.

"I... About that...," he began—

—but did not manage to finish his sentence before something weird started happening...

* * *

City Streets >>> In front of the Arcade

Narancia was jolted out of his thoughts by a new sight. As he turned a corner, ahead loomed an imposing, gaudy, domed building. Somehow, Narancia could tell this was an important place.

"There!," he shouted, pointing.

"Oh right... TV is short for television," Mai frowned a bit trying to explain the concept of a television to someone from the Middle Ages. "Uh, it lets people view other places from the comfort of their homes, mostly for news, sports, and entertainment."

"Everything was this blocky, though." Mai glanced around the area eventually even upwards towards the sky. "Even the clouds. This place is already weirding me out."

Daisy Buchanan, Outside - Frosmoth Gang

Oh no. Daisy was being too initiative. How is she supposed to pull off her "Beautiful Little Fool" facade around the people she's accompanying now?

She shivered as the cold is taking its effect on her. She's only wearing a single layer under her pure white dress after all. Said dress isn't suited for the cold to begin with as well.

As she thought of something idiotic to say, she heard the shaggy-haired man respond to Shantae asking for his name with confusion.

Does he not know his own name?

"Oh sir, do you remember your name?" She asked. "If so, I could give you one if you want."

A Walk in the Unknown City.

As Narancia followed Robo-Ky, he was walking like it was any other normal day. Despite being kidnapped from his home, he knew that they were good, a robot and a stand user, the two of them can take on anyone that could try to mess of them, he was calm.

His head turned back to Narancia to see him, busy with something in his head “Hey, you good kid?” He asked to him before he looks to have snapped back, it looked like it worked, he smiles to himself as his head turns back to the actual cause of him snapping back, he stops looking at building, he whistles from the sight of it before walking back to cover of the corner.

Robo-Ky felt something from this building and it seems like the kid is thinking the same thing too, “Alright kid” he turns back to him “I’m going first to check it out, watch my back and ready your fighting ghost stand in case of anything that could happen beyond this corners” he walks out of the corner his hands behind his back before jesting to Narancia to follow “Behind me” he said to him as he walked on the street of the arcade.

"I-it's- um- I-Imagine a boxy device that shows a series of moving pictures t-that gives off the illusion of motion..." Kobeni herself tries to explain what TV is- Though Mai's answer is probably the more easily understood one.

"L-like what the soldier showed, on the VCR..."

Once they were outside, Kobeni sticks closer to the group and Aqua, having already retrieved her knife beforehand. At spotting a large group and a very obvious Devil(Akechi's Persona) manifesting itself in their midst, Kobeni yelped, shudder before sticking ever-closer still- putting Trevor and Saria in-between her and said 'Devil'.

... And pulled Aqua towards her side as well with hurried step. "A-Aqua-sama, um, please stick close..."

- Almost as if trying to stop her preemptively from trying to do anything.

Trevor Is Outside, Which Means A Lot Of Things Given A Proper Context - Outside Tavern 1 (w/ Hunk, Saria, Aqua, Kobeni, Chimney?, Mai)

He recalled that phrase from earlier, "police department". Last time Hunk talked about it, it was about his insider and eliminating witnesses. Perhaps that would be best avoided for now - although an idea of finding a place to fortify was sound. And hey, the Beautiful Mai Shiranui was here, she and Kobeni both explaining the concept of television to an unwashed barbarian like him.

Still, it sounded like a scrying mirror, except a whole lot more common. Technology... eyes wandering over to the bedazzling wonder over there, Trevor's eyes narrowed. "It looks like black magic, but it lacks the aura of it - and the kind of magic that lets you summon a personal pet demon like that would be thicker than tar." Well, others were talking with Chestnut easily enough (or expressing awe with that nightmarish zebra hanging near him), so it was safe to assume things were under control.

"Now, let's just go right that way and cause exactly zero incidents." He grunted, pointing with his beard towards the nightmare obelisk (also known as the Arcade).

Getting out of this grody-ass tavern

"Yeah." Lachesis nodded at Tron. "We were thinking of looking at that, but then I saw that guy's...'Stand' thing. Might as well look at it now, if you're all going to."

She stood straight and walked outside, a handful of people following after her, who in turn followed after Brigitte and Cheetor.

"We have garbage from Earth fall into our realm once in a while, but not a lot of humans. I think there are ways of getting to Earth, too, but I don't know what they are. Probably takes Titan's blood or something..."

Leaving Tavern 1, silly Kobeni, Loki's arcana is Justice

For an instant, Akechi gave Stocking a look that might have been exasperation, it wasn't clear. In any case, it was gone pretty fast. He continued walking. "They're more 'projection of the subconscious' than 'imaginary friend.' An imaginary friend would be created consciously." He spared a weary glance at the party of people joining them from inside, the frightened Kobeni in particular. "Loki is what we call a Persona: an aspect of the self given physical form, with a contract to fight on your behalf. Have you heard of Carl Jung? His writing should give you a rough idea, give or take a few details."

He seemed about to ask Galo a question of his own, before noticing the shift in Enty's tone and body language. "Did you spot something troublesome?" Akechi asked her, raising an eyebrow.

The Arcade

Enty's planes would see that yep, that nameplate said 'TESTER' alright. The rack faced forward again. "That is indeed my name. An unfortunate coincidence, knowing the circumstances of your universe. To clarify, I did not create this City; I am merely supervising it."

As for Narancia and Robo-ky, the nearest entrance happened to lead into the console wing, where the woman in black from earlier was playing some sort of visual novel involving monster girls.

Frosmoth fam

"'Government'?" The Frosmoth tilted his head, as if this was a foreign word to him. "M-maybe he doesn't have a name. Maybe people just call him 'human;' a lot of pokémon go by species names like that. Oh, wait, but I heard once that almost all humans have names, sometimes even two names. Unless my friend was wrong...?"

He looked between all the humans and human-looking beings present. "If that's true, then...what are all your names?"

Nia, City Streets: Insert Niame Here

Seeing as she might be stuck with these people for longer than she wanted to, she might as well introduce herself to the group, "I'm Nia. The last I remember before I ended up here was me and my friends (and a few others) preparing to meet up with the Praetor." She took a moment to pause before adding, "The Praetor's the head of the religion and a ruler of his own nation back where I'm from. Hated the bloody place, but I had to be there for a friend's sake. As for why... it's a long story and I'd rather tell it when I'm not getting bleedin' frostbite."

"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

Galo and Lio, recovering from Loki Induced Shock (TM)

"Sorry, I've never heard of this Jung guy, and I've never been much for reading. Not unless it's firefighting manuals!" Galo said, trying to put on a smile as he began to recover from the shock of seeing Loki. Lio, however, seemed a bit more shaken.

"A projection...of the subconscious? An aspect of the self given form?" he muttered, looking confused and somewhat rattled. "I've never heard of anything like this...this Loki entity...do they wield fire?"

Internally, he was shocked at how much Loki resembled the armor of Mad Burnish, something Galo also seemed to have noticed judging by one of his earlier comments. He wondered if this guy was a Burnish, and this being he called Loki was created using his...what was it Deus had called them, Promare? Yeah, that was it. If that was the case, he either didn't know how he was really doing it or was hiding it, the latter of which Lio considered quite reasonable. If that was the case, making up all that shit about the subconscious and projection of the self was quite impressive, although from the sound of it he'd gotten the idea from some kind of book. Maybe looking at that book sometime would be wise, if Lio ever got into a situation where he could relax, although that barely ever happened...

Teemo Outside with the moth gang.

"Oh yeah I dint introduced myself properly to the rest of the group, my name is Teemo, bandle scout and I was doing..."

Teemo remembered that he just took out 3 contrabandists before with his poisoned darts that wouldnt give him too much of a good image to these people he just met.

"Scouting, you never know when a enemy would show up."
