[hasteful]

[time to enter the dungeon!

which is to say that when the princess is suddenly turned into a diamond and the necklace rests upon buzen's collarbone, he looks more than a little bit surprised. he lets his hand curl around the pendant before looking over to sophia]

—I think she's with me now. Are you gonna be okay, Sophi-chan? We can see how far we get if you want me to pick you up and carry you both through the catacombs...

[humainity]

How unusual... I've seen Desires turn into jewels, but I didn't think humans could do that.

[ Mysterious, and she is absolutely fascinated, getting far too close to Buzen's collarbone before she rocks back on her heels. ]

But I'll be fine. I'm quite capable at combat, so I won't fail in the mission!

[hasteful]

[it's not like he minds!! inhumans and their poor sense of personals pace - but even as she rocks back on her heels, buzen will reach out to gently touch her shoulder to make sure she doesn't stray too far. child that he feels oddly responsible for!!]

That's a good attitude - alright, let's make sure we protect her well, then!

I don't think I'm supposed to take a combat role, which is kinda new... but I can at least dodge out of the way, probably.

[ It's 8 AM in the morning at the Hummingbird Suite. Do you know where your Childe is?

Currently, he is making the fluffiest pancakes ever. What better way to say hello to your new roomies than to make them food, right? Plus, he was craving pancakes anyway so it's a win-win situation for him.

He has a nice stack of fresh pancakes on a plate ready to be devoured, but he seems busy with making more... ]

[humainity]

[ Sophia isn't accustomed to sharing space with others quite like this, but she is trotting over to invade his personal space immediately and watch him. Because he's cooking! She's only seen Joker cook and none of that had been this, so pardon her for being absolutely curious. ]

They're so fluffy...

[lackluster]

[ Childe is just about to flip the pancake he is currently cooking when Sophia's voice catches his attention. ]

They're supposed to be, or else I haven't done a very good job of making them. How many do you want?

wow it's hoppin' in here, also action

[lockedon]

[ He takes the quest less because he has any particular interest in babysitting (in fact, the opposite is true, he has no interest in babysitting) and more because he needs to get a feel for the place(s) he's found himself in. Also, turns out books can only teach you so much about animal behavior.

(when people start texting you to look at their dogs but you know NOTHING about animals!!!)

He's crouched a couple feet away from one of the baby wind whales right now, a checklist in his hands as he watches it roll idly in the grass. ]

Do you know anything about whales?

[ Are they really flying blind right now? ]

I'm not popular, just demanding--

[humainity]

[ Sophia is helpfully sitting there with one of the baby whales snoozing and stretched across her lap, which means she isn't moving anytime soon unless it's bonked into by another baby whale or Eustace decides to be loud. From her general observation of him, however, he's not a very loud person. ]

Blue whales can get to approximately 100 feet long.

[ Is she helping?? ]

[lockedon]

[ That's....hm. Is she helping?? He looks back at his baby charge. Tries to imagine it at 100 feet long. Frowns. ]

Are those similar to these whales?

[ He has never seen a whale in his life, all his scant knowledge is from books he'd barely had time to skim through before arriving here. ]

action!

[defendure]

[ Since it's the weekend and they made plans...have an Izuku! He is unfortunately wearing a shirt that says "DRESS SHIRT" on the front although it is by no means that. And a cardigan on top, which is slightly nicer...? Anyway, let's say he picked her up already and he's now showing her... ]

So, this is an arcade! There's several around but this one is my favorite. [ According to his fake memories, but he finds he agrees with them. ] It's got some old school games you don't find in a lot of places, but also some newer ones...and there's some attached things too! Like laser tag. And a bowling alley.

[humainity]

[ Sophia is vaguely confused by the shirt that says dress shirt that is... not... but it's fine? It's fine. It's a shirt.

Outside of Dodo, her hair has formed slightly more Sensible braids (as in they actually look like they're connected) and she's dressed in a hoodie that falls past her knees but also shorts underneath so it's fine. For now, she's listening to Izuku with an air of bright fascination. ]

I've heard both laser tag and bowling are good recreational activities, because you're also moving your body. It's... loud, in here.

[ All the machines going at once... ]

[defendure]

[ Izuku's hair looks as messy as ever...alas no magic can save him.

He nods along, happily. ]

If it gets to be too loud, just let me know! Or if there's anything in particular you wanna try. I'll show you my favorite arcade game first if you're okay with it? It's a tie in to a franchise I watch here...

action; ON world(??)

[humblepie]

[I'm still not sure if the jewelry can be ON or OFF, so we are shoved into the ON for now because of the Big Quest.

Riku has been given a bracelet, and then that very same bracelet has somehow suddenly been snatched away. He's not sure how long it has been missing since he's only just noticed in the last five minutes the lack of something around his wrist.

A bit worrying.

Carefully, he starts scouting the nearby area in the city, wondering if it had slipped off.

Little does he know, the leather and gemstone has zipped away from him and appear in Sophia's possession. The gem swirls, dim and slightly grey like a storm cloud. Fitting considering what bleeds through into her is confusion and worry.]

[humainity]

[ the realization that Sophia has acquired a bracelet happens rather swiftly, if only because Sophia has a bracelet of her own. And now suddenly both wrists are sporting one, but the gem on the one on her left is swirling slightly. Out of curiosity, she brushes her fingers over it--

And yelps a little as that worry and confusion seep into her. The confusion is understandable, but now it's doubled, and... worry? Why is she worried? What does she have to be worried about? As an AI, she's come to process and understand the emotion a little more for the sake of other people, but she's also always tried to grasp the source of it.

Here, she has no idea. ]

What... is this?

[humblepie]

[Surprise! Emotions!

For now, no one else seems to be around, and especially not someone looking for a missing bracelet. The color of the gemstone swirls. The more time that passes, the heavier the worry shifting through becomes. It overtakes the confusion and just exists as a ball of tense, firm anxiety.

Along the top of the gem is a hairline fracture... That's nice. For as much crap as he gives Sora, someone could stand to take a little more care of his belongings. (Not that he was aware hurting it meant hurting himself.]

[hexensabbat]

[Hopping between the ON and OFF worlds comes very naturally for both Ringo and Sophia, for obvious reasons.

So they're taking on yet another quest today (Ringo's preferred method to kill time), when...

... The way the ON world loads feels... wrong. Janky, even.

And she's sure she sees some sort of glitch flicker across the screen. Wuh-oh.

Once they're all loaded in:]

Did you see that?

[humainity]

The disturbance in the code? Yes, of course.

[ A firm nod. ]

The loading process took exactly eight seconds longer than usual. I suppose it could be due to increased volume on the servers, but...

[ The glitching is concerning. ]

[hexensabbat]

Yeah, maybe... seems like there are new people around.

But... feels like they'd have plans for an increased load with software like this. We should log out and in again and see what happens.

2.1 quest; action

[ohthehumanities]

[FLIES INTO YOUR ARMS

Kaveh doesn't do that to Sophia, of course, even though he should because she deserves hugs. No, instead, they're here in Avisle City--Kaveh's got one hand on his hip as he frowns down at their camera, now that Lila is out of their hair after delivering their quest instructions.]

An enchanted Kamera, hm...? [It's not spelled with a K in this world, Kaveh]

[humainity]

I don't understand on what basis this is meant to rank beauty. From everything I've found on the internet, that appears to be a heavily debated topic.

[ A very serious, solemn nod. What does this camera know!!! ]

[ohthehumanities]

[I forgot to mention that Mehrak is probably floating behind him; but since he's new, it probably isn't doing much, looking like it's in a sleep state more than anything.]

Well, you know, I have always believed that it's possible to form an objective basis for standards of beauty, even taking into account personal taste--but this is not how you find a partner for someone! Magic and technology are vital aspects of life, but we'd have to know a great deal more about how this thing functions before we could deem it an adequate judge, and even then, we're hardly qualified to play matchmaker.

[Like, sure, the initial spark of attraction is important... BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE ROMANCE THAN THAT]

can you even misfire on these phones, this is a misfire now

I'm not sure I understand your request.

cat quest time.

[verselet]

[V likes cats, of course. Vergil, maybe somewhere deep, deep down, probably likes cats, too. Shadow might have been wrought from old and terrible nightmares that accosted the man for so many years, taking the shape of a demon, but it's still a cat. A large cat. V has taken a fondness to it, and it's hard not to transfer that same fondness to a retinue of housecats. Ten of them, who mewl and meow and chirp and yowl at the presence of two strangers in their house, here to take care of them.

He has so many rubbing up against his leg at once, leaving tufts of fur stuck to his black clothes. A few sit on the couch, or from their perches in a cat tree, staring warily. No doubt his companion--humanity's companion, as he understands it--is going through the same experience.]

Well.

[His eyes slide over to the... litterbox nearby. Oh. Oh god.]

...Where to begin.

[humainity]

[ She is absolutely trying to pet three cats at once. ]

We should clean their litterboxes and replenish their water sources first, for maximum comfort.
