When she caught up with The North Crew, she saw that now there was two more paths to decide to go...GREAT! She floated over to the center...decisions, decisions. Luma came from behind her, pointing towards the East way, Rosalina looked at her little pal."Are you sure Luma?" Luma shook it's head, following the man with the Anchor, Rosalina went North-East.
It was dark inside of the tunnel, but when she got to the other side, Rosalina noticed a small little village...oddly quiet. She twirled to the others in her company. "I'm Rosalina if you didn't know. Sorry about not introducing myself earlier...just so much commotions and what not. So do we explore or keep moving on?"
Ellie sighed deeply as soon as her eyes opened. The feeling of grass on her cheek and the smell of dirt when waking up had become way too familiar. She turned herself around, lying down on her back with a loud groan, then turned her head in a few directions to look around.
The wide variety of people, creatures and any other classifications made it clear enough what kind of situation she was in. "Oh. That's fuckin' great... This crap again"she complained to herself as she pulled herself up and dusted her clothes off.
It had been a good seven years since the last time she ended up in one of these sick games, but she wasn't at all happy that it happened again. Before anything else, she took off her backpack and grabbed a few items: a pistol, which she slid under her belt behind her, a switchblade, which she hid in her right pocket, and a cigarette, which she placed between her lips and lit with a lighter she also kept in there. A puff of white smoke escaped from her mouth a few seconds later as she sighed with her eyes closed. "... Right. Let's see what's up this time."
Putting her backpack back on her back, she backed up for about a second, took in her surroundings and finally decided to go to the west, where she eventually walked into a small town and started to explore it. "I swear I've seen this place before somewhere..."

"Usually? So does that mean you can come back from the dead?!" Hanji said this rather excitedly as Levi went to approach the music playing figure, making sure to stay out of Yuno's way. The last thing he wanted to deal with was a crazy brat.
Ri looked around at the seemingly quiet town as the group she was with arrived at the area, after diverting their path from the north to the east of that original path.
It was a setting that was more familiar in its theme to her, so she felt more calm here, natural, and she felt like trying toinvestigate the area for any clues it might be hiding. Ri looked at the others, but didn't consult with them or ask their opinion on her action, as she walked around to look for any clues.

More trees. It brought back some grim memories for Kazuma Kiryu, of bringing bodies to the forest, planting them as if they had committed suicide instead of being murdered...
But he did not let those memories affect his action here and now. "We should see if there is more to the forest", he said to the rest of those with him as he boldly walked forward, deeper into the east area.

Watching in slow realization as the axe was sliced clean through, the head of it landed on the ground just as Ed's feet returned to the soil. This seductress was tougher than he thought! No doubt she was a master in the art of whack-fu passed down by the Rebel Robot Rangers who were also mutated. But Lothar would not be so easily halted! He'd fight on to the very end! But as Ed prepared for another charge towards Yuno, he felt something warm and wet land on his cheek. Looking over to see what it could have been, he'd see his fingers laying on the ground nearby with blood dripping out.
This was enough to knock Ed out of his hallucination and actually seem legitimately concerned about the severed fingers. Looking over to where Eddy and Double D watched with their jaws dropped in awe, he waved over to them.
"Guys! I'm shooting ketchup out of my fingers! Is that bad?"
"GOOD LORD!"
Rushing over to Ed's side, Double D quickly set about picking up the fingers and pulling out a spare roll of bandages. He'd began wrapping up the fingers as much as he could.
"This is insane, Eddy! This is far more complicated and serious than a mere Dungeons and Dragon mishap! She used a katana to sever Ed's fingers! Bone, tendons, sinew, you name it! In such a precise manner as well. Aren't you feeling any pain, Ed?!"
Ed waved it off as he took his fingers and slipping them within the sleeves of his costume, he'd push them back out. Upon exit his fingers would have been reattached good as new leaving Double D quite baffled. "Ed, but how did you do that? That defies the law of physics as we know it!"
"Double D, how come the light in the fridge stays on if no one's in the kitchen with Dinah?"
"..What-Ah!" Double D was quickly shoved out of the way as Eddy looked Ed over to make sure he was okay. "Sheesh Lumpy, you better watch out. That chick could have done a real number on more than your fingers. I feel bad for that scarecrow looking guy who she's going after next. But I bet if he's capable of going one on one with her, we could earn some cash!" "Sure am, Eddy!"
As Eddy and Ed began to form yet another scam, Double D brushed himself off and hurried towards the dancing entity. Judging by the piece, this creature had a special affinity for the flute. Something Double D could respect despite not being musically inclined himself. For what was society without fine music to keep everyone's nerves calm? Perhaps he could shed some light on what exactly was going on and why him and his fellows were subjected to being in the same company as a sword wielding psychopath.
The creature itself stopped upon Yuki addressing it. Lowering the flute, the creature finally turned to face him and well it wasn't exactly the prettiest of mugs. There were two beady glowing orange eyes, thick lips of a dull-brown color, and the rest of his face appeared to be hidden in shadows despite being near none. It tucked the flute away before leaning forward as if to get a good look at Yuki. This analyzing took over a minute and upon completion, the creature leaned back and gave a giggle.
"I'm glad you're not one of those grown-ups! I hate them! All they want to do is ruin my fun! You can call me Skull-Kid!" The questions Yuki shot his way though got Skull Kid scratching his head and tilting it sideways out of confusion. "Nope! Never heard of them! You're in the Lost Woods which is where I live! I don't really get too many visitors so it's nice to see that so many of you came! I saw what happened with your girlfriend by the way! I know I'd be scared if some big green guy came lunging at me but she broke his weapon in two like it was nothing! Would you like to stay and listen to one of my songs?" He asked as he pressed the flute near his lips again only to notice Yuno sprinting towards him. Lowering the flute, Skull-Kid began to shake in fear as he lowered the flute and turned to leap into one of the higher tree branches so that she couldn't get her hands on him!
"I-I'll help if you guys need it! But I'm not coming down until she goes away! She's not even a grown up but she's scary all the same!" He would have tried using his slingshot on her but after seeing how the ork fared, he doubted it would have done her any good and might have only incited her. But Skull Kid wouldn't have to wait for long as two chains with the Flames of Ares hissing off the blades attached to them slammed into the ground in front of her as Kratos turned his attention towards her.
He had made an effort to ensure that he harmed no more children. For after what he did to his own daughter, there was even a limit for Kratos and that was robbing a father of his kin. But this girl had made short work of the disillusioned one adorned in green paint without so much as any show of effort on her part. Therefore she deserved enough recognition to be treated above a mere child's status. Her clear instability would not be tolerated any further when it could put the three children that were following him around or even his own life in any immediate risk of danger.
Ripping through the earth as he dragged the Blades of Chaos back, Kratos stood directly in Yuno's path. The same blades that had been forged in the lowest depths of Hades and permanently branded/chained to Kratos's arms as a former sign of loyalty to Ares. Now it was just a grim reminder of what Kratos had done and the mistakes he had made.
"The one who's fingers you severed. That display of finesse and your lack of hesitation shows skill beyond the years of any mere child. Which is why I'm putting a stop to you right now, girl. Before your insanity becomes a risk to all of us." The demi-god was fully aware of how hypocritical this made him look when Zeus had killed him for almost the same reasoning. But whereas it was merely done on the hunch that Kratos might attempt to overthrow Olympus, Yuno's mental stability clearly didn't seem to be glued together properly.
Slipping out of the tree as he hung off it by his legs, Skull Kid used one hand to keep his hat on and the other to hold his flute. "Oh, so one of the grown ups and the scary girl are going to fight, huh? Shame really. I don't like seeing this forest damaged if I can help it! It just seems like that even within this forest I can't find solitary away from grown ups causing problems.." But deciding to try and make the best out of a bad situtation, Skull Kid began to play on his flute once more. Only this melody seemed far more urgent and distressing as if to indicate that allowing this to continue could only cause further issues down the line.
Watching what appeared like it was going to be an intense battle, Eddy snickered and climbed onto Ed's shoulders as he waved his jar around. "Get a chance to ride on the Ork's shoulder and watch this amazing fight unfold right before your very eyes!"
"But with leverage!"
"Only for twenty five cents!" Eddy didn't really mind making a profit off this because it wasn't like people were really going to get hurt, right?

Ri stopped for a moment, as she heard someone speaking to her. She turned around, almost surprised that someone would think to approach her, and speak to her now as she was starting to walk into the village to investigate.
She thought for a moment. She preferred to be anonymous here, but for her to insist on staying as such now would be rude, and in a situation where she might have to rely on the trust and assistance of others, rudeness was not the best way to allow those other qualities to occur, after all. So she stopped walking, and turned to the stranger to speak.
"You do not know my name because I did not mention it previously. Ri Boon Hui. You can refer to me as Ri." She looked at the stranger, she seemed quite regal in stature. "And what is your name, madam?"

As some in the West may walk through you can notice that there are a few outside roaming around and even an outdoor market it appears. Along with a house with a bee on it, and a place that appears to be a bar. There is also an old man standing about who looks a bit friendly and seems to be looking around for something or someone.
Explore more of the town
Go in maybe the Bee home
Go in the Bar
Leave town and see what is near by
Talk to the old man

Ri wondered what Luma meant by his words. She nodded to Rosalina, though. Speaking to both of them, she stated what was on her mind. "Thank you, Rosalina and Luma. We should explore this area, it might tell us where in the world we are located now. That would be valuable information for us all, would it not?"
He just did his absolute best to ignore the sounds of...dismembered fingers hitting the floor, the splash and squelch of blood. He shuddered at the very thought. Violence never really suited him. He could do it and he had...the games necessitated it. But here? This wasn't part of the game. He wouldn't be winning godhood here, unable to bring back anyone he saw die or killed himself. So if someone actually died here...that'd be it. Kaput. Dead. Gone.
Or so was his thought right up until the guy just...sorta regained his fingers. To say this caught him off guard was a surprise and his jaw dropped before he shook his head and turned back to the new arrival flute player. And it was...different looking. And staring. For a long time, almost a straight minute of silence broken only by his own voice.
"Ummmmmmmm......."
"This is awkward, what do I do?" He muttered quietly to himself. Come on diary, give me something to work with.
He was right about to flip it open and check when the creature finally spoke up. "...Well yes, Skull Kid. I'm no adult. And me neither, is why I asked." He nodded. "So...the lost woods, huh? I guess the lost woods wouldn't inspire many visitors to come. Willingly at least. Still not sure exactly where but it's good to have a name at least. I would love to!" He affirmed his consent. Good songs were always nice. His diary buzzed however, indicating a change...and he was barely able to read it before it came true.
She skidded to a halt, having been about to use twin knives to just scale the tree to kill the individual who dared try to take her precious Yuki's attention from her. She was all he needed! Any and all others were just useless distractions! But her thoughts were not yet translated over to actuality with her muscle movements, because yet another one decided to butt in!
They really did come out of the woodwork! Ugh.
"Crazy? I'm not crazy! What's crazy is this world and all the people that refuse to allow me to be with my beloved in peace! He promised me! And nothing can ever break a strong enough vow of love. Our love is eternal and special! Someone like you will never get in the way of that. That's a promise."
He just gulped. "...Yuno..."
"If you want to stand in the way of true love...you'll pay the price."
He took one look at his charging partner, the musician playing on his flute, the others actually trying to place bets on this slaughter. This was craziness. Apparently Yuno was not the only one off here. And that guy was built like a bodybuilder, all muscle and tank-like. Could she even take him down if she tried? He didn't want to find out. Time to change the future.
"...No. No. This has to stop." He found his voice, raising it up and speaking loudly across the area. "Yuno, stop! If we keep attacking before we even know what's going on, we'll never be able to make friends and figure this out."
She faltered in her step, slowing to a halt, blade mere inches from Kratos. "But Yuki, I'm the only friend you'll ever need!"
"If that was true, you'd be able to know what this place is and or how to get out of it, wouldn't you? But you don't."
"...Well..."
"Do you?"
"...No." She admitted after a moment's consideration.
"Then let's just calm down, hmm? Put the sword away. From a...boyfriend to his girl."
"..." She beamed. "Alright. For now. Because you asked so nicely. And because you're you."
"Good." He approached, giving her a hug. And in the midst of it, injecting her with mild tranquilizer to put her out for a little while. He caught her when she began to fall back. "Sorry Yuno. Just for a bit." He turned to the others. "There. She's no threat now. Can you please try to not aggravate her further when she comes to? My bladder will thank you." He lifted her up, walking back to the flute player.
"You said something about helping us, yes? How?"
Or so was his thought right up until the guy just...sorta regained his fingers.
