"Ha! Lux so owes me 30 bucks." Her immediate reply was one of amused triumph, one that soon gave way to a more annoyed grimace. "I know, right? Tell me about it. Big brains think they could just treat us like their playtoys, for their little experimenting or whatever the frick they're trying to do here. Lock ten pounds of crazy in a five-pound box? That'll work sooooooo well." Jinx glared over vaguely in their direction.

"I don't care what First Star thinks about slaughter, they've totally earned it." She growled under her breath.



"Don't eyeball me like that, I will kick your butt to the next galaxy over."

Pointedly, Setsuna turned her gaze away from Jinx virtually immediately after the request. But this was clearly not out of a feeling of intimidation, but more likely her desire to fulfill the wishes of others. Threats probably didn't have an effect on her.​

"Why not?" Cagliostro asks Zerberus, "I'm sure that if eeeeveryone listens and shares their opinions, you'll have a better idea of what a better poem should be, isn't that right, Ouroboros?"

"..."

Do I need to state that plushies can't talk again?

"Here we go," Cagliostro utters underneath her breath as her eyes temporarily shift towards Blake and Jaffar. "This is going to be fun. A shame I can't partake."

Cagliostro turns back to Zerberus with her usual sweet smile. "Do you reeaally want me to tell you how I feel about it?"
"Well... s-sure..."

Zerberus looks at the little girl for an answer... he did feel like he was going to get a bad one though...​

Senna frowned, feeling a bit bad for Setsuna based on her reaction. "I just wanna say... you should be proud of yourself! You say this guy doesn't want you like that, but you still work hard to be his sword. That's pretty noble if I do say so myself!" she told Setsuna, giving the other female a pat on the shoulder.

"Oh lay off, would you?" Senna grumbled, shooting Joshua a look. "He really is just a friend. What exactly do you want me to admit? If you knew him, he'd tell you the same thing," Senna replied. In truth, she had to wonder if Ichigo even remembered her. Senna knew she had been a being made up of memories, so after disappearing it was likely those around her had forgotten her.

"Gee, I don't even have a place to wander. Must be fun," she replied to Joshua, while she rocked back on her feet. "But hey, I can use a sword myself! You'll have to show me your skills sometime," she said with a smile.

While also watching what Lucio was up to, Senna replied to Miku. "That's nice of you to say. I just believe... the world is a great place! So I think even in the bleakest of times there is always something worth keeping your hope up for." Senna smiled. "It's a miracle I'm even alive right now. That's one thing I'm thankful for."

To Shirou she spoke.

"Oh hush!" Senna exclaimed, childishly sticking her tongue out at Shirou. "I'm not being cold, it's just the truth!"

"Hi, Alice, I'm Senna. Just as Joshua said, if you want to learn more about any of us feel free to ask! Not much to do in here but talk right now anyhow, right?" the soul reaper questioned, shrugging her shoulders casually.




"Well, hey, you seem like a pretty nice guy so everyone is just trying to help you out!" Senna said with a giggle, actually very amused by what Lucio was trying to do in particular.​
"Heh, whatever you say."

Shirou chuckled as she stuck her tongue out at him. Spirited kid.
"Ha! Lux so owes me 30 bucks." Her immediate reply was one of amused triumph, one that soon gave way to a more annoyed grimace. "I know, right? Tell me about it. Big brains think they could just treat us like their playtoys, for their little experimenting or whatever the frick they're trying to do here. Lock ten pounds of crazy in a five-pound box?

"I don't care what First Star thinks about slaughter, they've totally earned it." She growled under her breath.



"Don't eyeball me like that, I will kick your butt to the next galaxy over."
"Hey, you might actually be doing her a favor if you kick her out of this little cage, huh?" Shirou shrugged, a smirk on his face.​
 
"Well... s-sure..."

Zerberus looks at the little girl for an answer... he did feel like he was going to get a bad one though...​
"Are you certain that your heart is one that can handle criticism? Are you certain that the words that will emerge from my mouth will not harm your soul?"

Cagliostro's voice was now rougher and had a 'cranky' feel.​
 
"Last I saw of her before ending up here, yes. She was doing fine, taking a moment to enjoy herself for once since war broke out," she replied. She missed the other, as well as the rest of their army. She made sure not to let her face betray her and give off a sad expression. The last thing she'd want is for those scientists to see her so down since waking up in this dumb cell, and she didn't want Joshua to be concerned.​
"Always war... seems to be all there is right now, no matter where I go," Joshua sighed, recalling the present conflict in his own world. Pulling out a golden coin, the myrmidon rolled and flipped it between his coins to pass the time as he spoke, "The nation I've been working for has gone on a warpath, starting conflicts with old friends...Don't think I'll keep with them much longer."
 
Linda looked over at Ada. "So, how do you play the game you are doing with your hands?" She asked, looking over at her. She needed something to do in her spare time.​
 
Linda looked over at Ada. "So, how do you play the game you are doing with your hands?" She asked, looking over at her. She needed something to do in her spare time.​
"Cat's Cradle? You never played it as a child?" Ada said. She unwound the string from around her hands. "It's a simple game." She began retying the end of the string. "It just involves making shapes while not breaking it when we pass it between us."
 
James Proudstar - Warpath

Warpath simply stared at Palpatine for a moment. One hand reaching over to the Arkham Knight, lightly swatting the back of his armored head.

He first spoke to Palpatine.

"I am sorry sir, but I do not know much at all. We appear to have all been snatched up from our various worlds by these Scientists," he said, pointing at the spot in the glass where the scientists can be seen most clearly, "Perhaps you could try and reason with them? Though personally, I am doubtful."

His long arm, if the Arkham Knight hasn't at least looked this way, gently but insistently grabs up an armored arm and pulls him back.

"Arkham, please quit playing with that crazy woman and come meet this fellow over here,"

Palpatine, with his extensive skills of watching people, can see that Warpath by his body language was startled to see the older man.​
"Hmm.." Sideous let out a sharp hum as he began to run through what Warpath had told him, reading between every line and analyzing each verse "Perhaps you are correct. I always knew there was life beyond my universe...that there was something larger at work". Perhaps for the first time since his arrival, Palpatine was being totally honest; how blind must the Republic have been not to venture off into Wildspace before, and finally expand the boundaries of their Known Galaxy to their very limits. Then, and only then would they be able to truly comprehend the majesty that was Reality. It should have been done decades ago...centuries ago. How he had wished he had known the true size of his world before enacting the Grand Plan...

"I share your doubts too...The captors really take suggestions from the captives- and I speak from experience" Withdrawing himself from his thoughts, Sheev thrust out a welcoming palm towards Warpath "I'm sorry- I didn't quite catch your name..."
 
Penny took the flask back, scowling at Eliot.

"Don't drink it all before we find out if there will be any to replace it with! And I don't know, the last thing I remember was we were drinking at Brakebills, and the next thing I know, I was here. I'm not sure if I'm angry or happy that Quentin isn't here, but I do know this must be all his fault. This better not be a Fillorian Deathtrap..."

He'd put the flask away, and look towards the Devilish Man.

"How about you? How you wind up in this place?"
Lucifer looked over at the two men when they posed him this question. "I honestly don't know how I got here. I just know that there was a flash of light and then I was here. Wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened to me. But hey, doesn't matter, I am actually kind of surprised they managed to capture so many of us. There's definitely something strange afoot," he said.
"Cat's Cradle? You never played it as a child?" Ada said. She unwound the string from around her hands. "It's a simple game." She began retying the end of the string. "It just involves making shapes while not breaking it when we pass it between us."
Linda looked over at the other woman. "Nope, I have never been shown this game as a kid. Then again, I didn't learn much about other cultures until after I got my job," she admitted, listening to what the woman was saying. It seemed simple enough to her.​
 
James Proudstar - Warpath

Watching Palpatine for a bit as he thought allowed James to get himself together. It appears that imagination really was more interesting than he figured. If he got back to his world, he was going to find Director George Lucas and smack him hard across the head. It appears that folks here seemed calmer now, that's good, he wanted to fly under the radar for now.

"You can call me James sir. I have an interesting question, somewhat philosophical. I feel at some point, our captors are going to require something more of us. Already it seems like folks are dividing into something like three groups. Those more morally inclined, those more neutral, and those with a more self-interested nature. Now, many aren't going to show their true nature just yet. As someone who borders on neutral and morally inclined, what would be your advice for our situation?"

James was calm, watching a couple of the others, very much wanting to talk to Kent and happy that Arkham was calmer now. Interesting one of the loud girls fell on her ass trying to activate her powers to make a doorway. He fully understood the multiverse theory since the X-men have been down that path before. After a moment's hesitation, he held out his hand to the older man.​
 
"..."

Riesbyfe had been left to ponder Road's words. Her claims of the multiverse theory, one that she was no stranger to the concept of, were quite interesting, as were her words, but perhaps that explained some strange gaps in logic, such as the existence of someone like Alucard, and those strange little monsters that Road had mentioned before. However, perhaps more pressing than that, this all meant that if Road's words held true, then this situation was worse than they'd realized, enough that Ries had already lost much of the will to react to the fight Road had initially intended to pick with her.

Not only was Riesbyfe in a world not her own then, but so were all these other people, taken here deliberately, most likely by those enigmatic scientists. The knight could only furrow her brow. Attempting to make sense of this as she was wouldn't get her anywhere, as they had little facts to go off of. Waiting and seeing wasn't something Ries especially liked doing, but without her weapons, there was little to be done here.

Truly, like a rat in a cage.

"... Such a simple way to look at things, but I suppose aspiring champions of justice will always be needed. Those who are able to fight as well as they can dream, and not," Riesbyfe sighed in response to Clark as the woman crossed her arms. She had nothing to say when Clark later went on about the ethics of "killing" to Road, as Ries had no desire to debate about anything like that, especially considering their circumstances were wildly different, no doubt.

Admittedly, however, she did raise an eyebrow when Clark mentioned being called some sort of "alien" or "freak," which was odd, as he seemed otherwise completely normal, hero of justice ideals aside. She'd have to inquire about that later at a more appropriate time, though whenever something like that would come wasn't something the knight would be able to predict.

Turning to Alucard with that, Riesbyfe tilted her head slightly. "Belmont... That name means nothing to me, unfortunately, but with this multiverse theory come to light... If some black magic more powerful than what I could ever have conceived is at work here, then perhaps the reason I haven't heard that name is that it simply does not exist where I come from. In turn, I don't suppose terms such as True Ancestor or Dead Apostles mean anything to you then, Sir... Alucard?" She inquired, seeming to suddenly take a slightly more civil tone with him.​
 
Zerberus did not like the tone of Cagliostro's voice and was now getting a little ticked off....he sighs

"Yes, I can handle it. It's not like it's the end of the world"
 
Penny frowned in response to Lucifer.

"I don't like being abducted. I also don't like the fact that there are so many of us, and from what I gather, none of us have any idea as to what is going on... If I get out of this alive, I am definitely throwing Quentin through a wall."

He looked to Eliot.

"You and I shouldn't even be here, the others should... Maybe they drugged us to avoid this."

Penny's definitely not in the best of moods.​
 
... to be forgotten in history is a greater failure than being heralded as 'good' or 'bad' and remembered for it, as people put it, but fear not, for it is a common fate, so don't take it to heart...
Zerberus did not like the tone of Cagliostro's voice and was now getting a little ticked off....he sighs

"Yes, I can handle it. It's not like it's the end of the world"
"If you say so..."

Cagliostro begins.

F8IQZXA.png


"I cannot like it, or dislike it, for that matter," Cagliostro says, "it isn't anything that pleases me or anything that displeases me. Let's just say that... it is akin to many, many other poems that have been written and forgotten. I've heard some say that a poem reflects its writer. This poem doesn't stand out from the pool of words and writings...

... to be forgotten in history is a greater failure than being heralded as 'good' or 'bad' and remembered for it, as people put it, but fear not, for it is a common fate, so don't take it to heart...

... maybe it does stand out in your eyes, or the eyes of others. As it stands now, it doesn't stand out to me. Maybe it wasn't too good of an idea to ask a cute, genius, beautiful alchemist about poetry, now was it?

Zerberus, was it? I was about to say one more thing, but who knows, diamonds can't be born without pressure."


Cagliostro's voice was reverted back to her cuter, more bubbly voice as she returned the sheet of paper to Zerberus.

K6DFcKT.png


"You're welcome! I'm glad I could help out~! Teehee~!"

She skips away. If he were to ask of her name, she would respond...

"I'm the number one cutest, genius, beautiful alchemist, Cagliostro~! Don't forget that~!"

"Yes, this 'multiverse theory' would provide answers for many of my questions." That he could admit. That uneasy feeling had not yet subsided. "No, I am afraid those terms are not familiar to me." He had read the Bible before, but if she was from another world, the contents would be different, he guessed. That Noah girl that had spoken earlier as well, he could only assume from what he knew where he came from.

"I may not know what your world is like, but I appreciate the existence of your Church. At least our worlds have something against vile creatures like demons that roam the world of men."
 
Naomi watched silently, observing the people around her. Princesses, alchemists, myrmidons, and more surrounded her, making her think.

"These are certainly things that I'd never see in Portland," she thought to herself, "and some of these things seem entirely impossible altogether. Is it possible that we're no longer even on the planet Earth? Well, I shouldn't completely remove that possibility, but I don't exactly have proof either."

Her train of thought became derailed with Joshua's words. The train finds itself a new set of rails as she asks Joshua, "What nation, exactly, are you working for?"

Even as she is talking with Joshua and Azura, her eyes dart towards Zerberus every few seconds to make sure he doesn't cause too much trouble with the alchemist.

"My name is Doremi! It's nice to meet you!"

Meanwhile, there seems to be a glint from Jabber as he intensely stares at Little Guy.
Navel smiled and introduced himself, "I'm Inspector Navel. It's not the most popular name on the playground, but Dr. Kimishima calls me 'Little Guy'. I suppose whichever one you wish to use is alright by me."

Navel's nerves stood on end with how long Jabber was staring at him. Eventually, his gaze fell upon Jabber, forcing him to acknowledge the Riolu. "I suppose you're a little guy as well. What's your name? And... If you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you two?"
 
Jabber, noticing that Navel was talking to him, hid within the crowd of people again, not wanting to talk with him just yet.

dQgvog2.png


"Was someone there?" Doremi would say, not catching Jabber in time. "Anyways, it's nice to meet you, Navel!"
 
Jabber, noticing that Navel was talking to him, hid within the crowd of people again, not wanting to talk with him just yet.

"Was someone there?" Doremi would say, not catching Jabber in time. "Anyways, it's nice to meet you, Navel!"
"Huh? There was just somebody else here...

"Anyway, it is nice to meet you as well, Doremi. You're a great dancer and musician. I have a question, though, if you don't mind.

"What...

"Exactly...

"Are you?"
 
"Huh? There was just somebody else here...

"Well... haven't you heard of a Pokemon before? I'm a Meloetta to be precise, but my name is Doremi. It's based on the musical scales!"
 
VeQGmq9.png


"Well... haven't you heard of a Pokemon before? I'm a Meloetta to be precise, but my name is Doremi. It's based on the musical scales!"
One could almost hear the gears in Navel's head as they ground to a halt. "What is a Pokémon?" Navel thought to himself.

He wasn't one to jump to conclusions or concoct outlandish theories; his job dealt with simple, precise facts and figures. His job was to analyze evidence. However, there was definitely a speck of imagination that sat within his head.

From the Pokémon's mention of its own existence as common knowledge, Navel drew a conclusion. "I think that we both must not come from the same place. With the collection of people here, it seems people are being brought from all over. The question is, all over what?

To answer your question, I've never heard of a Pokémon before. You Pokémon definitely seem interesting...

What's the chance that you've never heard of what a human is?"
