"Yes, everyone does deserve a home. That's why it's a shame that I have been given so many places of residence all over the world for free, and yet there are many other people who cannot have their own abode to call home," Kanzaki replied somewhat cryptically, remaining unclear on her exact situation, "But I have already said too much. I'm sorry, I am not... normally like this. You just remind me of someone I know," she spoke somewhat uncomfortably to Ventus, averting her gaze somewhat.

Still, the boy's comments about traveling to other worlds... mystified her. Off-handedly talking of worlds unknown to her, talk of never having even been to Earth... Who was this boy exactly?

"Do you mean to imply... you are not from Earth? But how can that be? Are you saying you're... from somewhere else?"
 
"What's an Earth?"

Aeric wasn't exactly well educated.​
 
Accelerator was about to give some mean, likely uncalled for insult, but it seemed that Raven had clarified what he meant for him. Still, that guy's face annoyed him. Maybe it was his words...

"Tch. Aren't I accompanied by the brightest group of people?" The young man grumpily murmured, deciding to go with what Fizz said at the moment and continuing through the East log for now.​

People who did not know what Earth was.

What has Stiyl gotten me into now? Kanzaki could only think as she gave a worried look, tragically lamenting her fate.​
 
The blond reached up to scratch his head, thinking over Kanzaki's words. He found himself a bit confused. "O-Oh, I completely agree, but I was talking about... you. You deserve a home too. And I don't mean free places that others allow you to stay in. I mean a real home. Somewhere to come back to with... friends or family waiting." He paused for a moment, realizing he was making her uncomfortable. "Ah, but you don't have to apologize. I should be apologizing if I'm making you uncomfortable." He grinned awkwardly before averting his own gaze. "But hey, I promise you don't have to feel uncomfortable around me. I just like to talk, maybe a bit too much sometimes," he said with a chuckle. Ven wondered who he reminded her of... A friend of hers?

Ven grinned. "Yeah, I'm not from Earth. I'm from another world." True keyblade masters were taught not to tell others they were from a different world. But young, reckless Ventus wasn't exactly best at keeping to the rules all the time. "There are actually many worlds out in the universe. I actually have a power that allows me to travel between them. That probably sounds pretty weird though, huh? Sorry if that doesn't make any sense," he told them, smiling his awkward smile again.​
 
Aeric's white eyes didn't show much, but his decaying skin furrowed in greater confusion. "What's that look for? I don't have schools where I'm from. Not that I'd remember going to one. I don't remember where I was Yesterday." The Undead muttered indignantly.

...

"Ooh. Earth is a world. I wonder what my world is called."​
 
Ashitaka just remained silent. He drew his sword, and began running ahead. He put the sword into his mouth, and drew his bow. He proceeded forward.​
 
~Rocket Raccoon~

"Egads! Is that a talking raccoon?"
Rocket snapped around furiously to see who would insult such an accomplished dignitary such as himself;
"Sure, and you're the Anchorman of Breast Cancer Weekly! Great to meet you! HEY WAIT!"

Apparently, in no time flat, the Punisher in Pink decided to frolic its way over to the East log completely ignoring him, disgruntled, he decided this time he would go over to EAST LOG FROM NORTH LOG and shoot that thing before it reproduces er... have a gentlemanly conversation with it.

Hopefully, Starlord's following him. He's always been the slow type.

~BALTO~
After searching around the ruined building he found out that there was just nothing interesting do do, so he was stumped, either stay here and do nothing, or go by the vines and do nothing...with cats. At least with cats you can have fun with, even if they are the new superior cat overlords! So, with best intent, heart, and intrest, he trotted back to the VINES in order to be met by the cat overlord once again, seeming to mind-warp a hum with his magical chair of cats.

This was, by far, the weirdest apocalypse he's ever seen.
Here he is thinking a luscious green landscape in Alaska was weird, or the fact dogs backstab other dogs.
But nope, we have Mind-warping Cat overlords​
 
"...If only you knew....How valuable the person next to you could be...." Was all Raven said to Accelerator as others began to push forward as well.

"....Lets get moving....." Was all this Blademaster had to say to the others who hadn't moved as he ran forward along with Ashitaka keeping his sword at the ready in his human hand. Raven was fast which was a good thing should combat happen.​
 
The furball shot over Balto's head, but the cats still laughed. The laughter, however, caught Zanzibar's attention and he whacked one. The pain that one felt traveled throughout the cat chair who hissed in pain. Mittens also felt it, but only slightly, as if it was a tap on the head. His Lord then pointed to the vines and the cats went over. The doc saw Serge climbed up so they would also need to do the same. Who knows, perhaps there was someone to help?

"Mittens, grab the doggie and we'll go up."

"Of course Sir!" Mittens responded and as the chair closed in on Balto, Mittens reached out intending on grabbing the dog.​
 
"Well, in any case... That part of my life is a story I'd rather wait until later to talk about," Kanzaki said, pocketing her hand. Sometimes, it was a bit awkward having a whole pant leg missing, but hey, the asymmetrical clothing strengthened her magic. Somehow...

"Other... worlds?" She asked Ven, her tone a mix of confusion and innocent curiosity. Such magic exists that could perform spells of that magnitude? "If you are from another world... Hmm, you say you are some sort of world traveler, yet you don't seem to know what's going on either. Could that also imply that... everyone here is from different worlds as well?"

"Don't condescend me, punk," Accelerator grunted, feeling as though Raven was talking down to him, "I don't need any of you. In fact, you should all be grateful I'm even here. I could be your only chance out of here," he said, apparently quite sure of himself, though despite his big words, his tone lacked any true arrogance, or even passion, as though he were stating a bold fact.​
 
"I can do that too!" Aeric's enthusiastic smile quickly faded, though, and was replaced by a bemused frown. "But they're all a lot like mine. And I'm usually there to kill someone."​
 
"What are you saying? Let's just have some fun and get moving!" Fizz said excitedly to Accelerator and Raven.​
 
Balto was too frozen at the sudden reaction of cats to even do anything until the Cat overlord picked him up, although seeing as how he's responding to the human's commands, perhaps they were slaves to man? That thought settled through Balto's head, but only briefly as he then realized he was being held by the cat, and began to squirm and wriggle his way out of its grasp, when he got high enough to where it would hurt to fall down the height of these vines, and realizing the cat was actually trying to HELP him up here, he stopped squirming and merely shot an ugly look at the cat, still at least acknowledging he hates cats:

He merely frowned to the cat, heck, he might even bite him as soon as they got up here to see it's reaction, but then again, maybe he was a nice cat, there were only tails, and tales of such creatures even existing, perhaps just now he's seeing one? Well, it's been too long for that to happen.​

The blond teen offered a clueless shrug in reply. "I honestly don't have the slightest clue as to what your world could be called. I'd probably need to know a lot more about it. But even if I did, there's still the chance I've never been to it and don't know of it. After all, I haven't been to every world there is."

"Oh! All right. I didn't mean to pry or anything. I was just curious," Ventus sheepishly replied to Kanzaki subseuqently. He didn't want to bother a person he had only just met, after all, so he would drop anything she didn't feel comfortable talking about. Nonchalantly, Ventus stretched his arms and twirled his keyblade behind his back. He still felt a little stiff after having just woken up, but slowly he felt his muscles beginning to relax again. Maybe if he was lucky, he'd find a chance to get in a little sparring practice.

"Huh, it's possible," Ven agreed, also wondering if the people around them were from other worlds. "Part of the reason I don't know what's going on is because... I've been asleep for a long time. I'm not sure exactly how long, but... uh... let's just say something bad happened... and I kinda had to sacrifice myself to save my friends. I guess I didn't die, but I did end up falling asleep. And going to sleep is the last thing I remember. So I don't have a clue what's going on." Ven shrugged. "But maybe someone from this town could help us?" He gestured to an old man who was nearby. "We could always talk to the old man over there and see if he knows anything?"
 
Mitten expected the dog to squirm and had to tighten his grip. However, as they chair clawed its way up, it stopped resisting allowing the Kitten General to look down at its face, which appeared to be one of hate. He simply meowed in annoyance. Thankfully, beyond the hate face, the mutt didn't attempt anything stupid. Zanzibar, meanwhile, was examining the dog, likely determining if it was a suitable test subject. When they finally got to the top, all three saw doors leading into some kind of building. Serge was already in. Zanzibar clapped his hands telling the kittens to go back home which they simply turned into ash. Mitten then placed the dog down roughly and went with his Lord, but not before baring its long fangs.​
 
As if on cue, Aeric, visor still up in all his decaying Undead glory, approached the old man and waved rather enthusiastically. Someone might think about putting a leash on him. "Oi! Hello! A pretty day to get lost, isn't it? Might you know where you are?"

Of course, Aeric might always just get bored, kill the man and take all his stuff, believing he can still just start everything over again as always.​
 
"AH KIN YELL LOUDER THAN' YE, YE PRANCING, BLOOGAH-BLITHING, FRAGGLE-HUMPING, PONCE! CUSTOM MADE? I 'OPE YE CAN GET YER MONEY BACK! I HADN'T SEEN A MAN SO TAKEN IN, SINCE THEY ELECTED NIXON! AN' SAVAGE?! O' COURSE I BE SAVAGE, I'M SCOT! WOT, DID YE THINK I WAS SOME TEA-DRINKING, BASKET-WEARING, PAJAMA CRACKER-CROKER LIKE THE LIKES OF YE?! LIVE IN DENIAL ALL YE LIKE, BUT I DAENNE FIGHT A BATTLE O' WIT, WHEN ME OPPONENT BE UNARMED!"

No one insults the Scotsman's bagpipe. Not even his broseph, Jack.

And then he suddenly realized that somehow, they ended up behind everyone else as he scowled and roared as he made his way for the place.

"NOW LOOK WHAT YE DONE, YE DANCING QUEEN! EVERYONE BE LEAVING US BEHIND!"

And so the Scotsman rushed off, heading for the Western Log after his first, Northern Directional Walk.

He paused before the others who had likewise headed this way and grinned.

"Sorry 'bout that. Had a difference of opinion with Mr. Toe back there and his shite ear fer music."
