Aaera squinted in thought for a moment to remember, then said, "I was at the very back of that cave." She pointed. "I followed your body heat out after I woke up."

"Sounds like... some kind of portal. We should go and take a look at it," Damon said. He then remembered the last thing with dragon wings that he had seen. It had been some manner of actual dragon, as he recalled. It had also liked carrots. Without trying to think it over any more than this, Damon added, "Would you like a carrot?"

"I would love a carrot, thanks!" said Ailm excitedly. Before anyone could reply, the boy of sponge-based powers ran back into the cave in search of the dragon girl's portal.

Damon started to reply, "Well, I don't h-" before realizing that Ailm was entering the cave. To his discomfort, since Ailm had been his primary source of sight, his vision rapidly decreased in quality as they became further apart. Damon followed Ailm into the cave for that reason, somehow unable to process that he could look through anyone else, and by the time he realized that, he was already too far into the cave and too curious to bother going back. What was going on with him?

((I finally joined. Aren't you guys proud of me?)) Celi opened her eyes, blinking. Ok, so she was lying in on hard rock that poked into her back-ow let's sit up, that's better- and there is also rock above and all around her. Obviously she's in a cave and it probably isn't nighttime because otherwise it would be extremely dark and right now it's only mostly dark. There were voices coming from outside- something about a carrot?- so she crept towards them, trying to discover what they were. Probably some people who she defeated before... but then again... probably not. Their voices are nothing similar and hey... their voices are also getting louder where can she hide? Um... stalagmite? Not the best, but she'll manage. She hid behind the stalagmite, observing the young boy who came into the strange cave... whoa is that a snake? It... it has a top hat on. That's a cool snake.

Aaera stops moving. "There's someone else here..." She turns toward the inside of the cave and pointed at a stalagmite. She took a step towards it, nervously touching Jillian's hand almost by instinct.

Hissing in frustration, Celi stepped into view. But wait... the dragon-girl (again, interesting) apparently didn't know ahead of time that she was there... so she's a captive, too? Or at least a victim of someone moving them into a cave... Despite her confusion, Celi spoke in a carefully controlled tone, designed to reveal nothing about her emotions. It really just sounded bored, though. "I have a few questions and will ask them all at once. You can reply to the best of your ability afterwards. Where are we? Why am I here? How can I get home? Are you my enemy? Are you the type of person who would say 'yes' to the previous question if it was true or would you say 'no' to trick me? Are you being truthful about any of this? Also, why are carrots relevant in any way whatsoever? Oh, and since I know that the dragon-girl isn't my enemy, so I'm asking her this. The enemy questions can apply to the others."

Ailm, annoyed at the fact he was not being trusted, began rambling in reply to the girl's questions. "I am Ailm. The ugly snake thing is Damon and your friendly neighborhood vampire is called Jillian. We are not your enemies. We don't know why we are here or if we can go home. We are on a planet far away from the ones where we live called La Troupe ((exactly what was it again, Georgia? Xelda?)), a magical world where..." Ailm stopped. How had he known all that? It was like what happened with the cubecat; towards the end, the words just began to flow out of his mouth, beyond his control or, more importantly, his knowledge.

Aaera raised an eyebrow at the newcomer and said, "That's quite a few questions. I don't know much since I just got here, but here's the gist of it: None of us are entirely sure where we are. None of us have any idea why we're here. None of us are from here. None of us know how to get home. None of us are your enemies. None of us would bother trying to trick you. None of us have any reason not to be truthful. And none of us know why carrots are relevant. They're just delicious. Now it's my turn to ask questions. Who are _you._ Are _you_ our enemy? And how did you know I wasn't your enemy but not the others?

" " Ailm gave Aaera a look. Before anyone could say anything else, a blinding purple light filled the cave. Intrigued, the boy ran to find its source. Behind the cubecat's giant corpse was a tablet of crystal. It was similar to the one in the podium at which Ailm had woken up next to Damon and Jillian: circular, about four feet across. This one, however, was currently glowing purple. Ot continued to grow brighter and brighter until a small figure rolled out of it and the light vanished.

((Geoff's here!!! )) "UNGHHHHHHH ... Ahh... That was a good nap..." Popo yawned sluggishly. "Wait... Where am I? Why is it so dark? Nana? Condor? EGGPLANT!?!?" Popo shouted frantically. He stared up at the human boy, "HI! IM POPO, I LIKE EGGPLANTS!!! Its dark in here, have you seen my sister Nana? She looks like me except a girl, and whats with that weird snake thing, its pretty scary looking...." Popo then proceeded to hum a small tune and occasionally murmer the word "eggplant".

Celi ignored the crystal and answered the dragon-girl's questions first. "My name is Celi. Whether I am your enemy or not is entirely up to you. And I knew because you appeared nervous and would not be if you had been a good enough fighter to have/been a part of a gang who drugged me and took me here. Those would be my enemies, you see? I guess the vampire-looking person would probably not be my enemy either, but that does not matter currently. And Ailm, one question and a thought: Is the dragon-girl giving out her name, or does she have one? Also, my thought is that you know an awful lot to have randomly wound up here. That is all. Now, let us examine this mysterious crystal and continue our mysterious quest to do mysterious things and learn so that everything is so much less mysterious." She walked over to the tablet and nudged it with her foot. She also glanced briefly, annoyed, at Popo. He just has chaos written all over him.

"..." Ailm stared blankly at Popo. "Hello, I guess, Popo, I'm Ailm. Welcome to our party. That ugly snake guy is Damon, who I have the strange urge to insult in a way that goes against my cutelike personality." Out of the corner of his eye, Ailm watched the new girl poke the tablet as if it were a dying bug. "I'll just let the others introduce themselves," Ailm declared finally.

"Do I really have to introduce myself to a son of Chaos? Obviously you can't be Chaos himself, but you might as well be. Lower your voice, Popo, by about 10 billion notches. Also, don't freak over your sister, it's only logical that we'll find her seeing as everyone who is turning up seems to turn up around us, unless, of course, there's another unit of people... hm... I did not think about that. Still, it's convenient that dragon-girl and I turned up just when the group of people got here, after killing this cube cat, of course. Oh, and I'm Celi. Please... don't bug me."

"How'd you know we killed the cubecat?" Ailm asked, surprised.

"Because it's dead," Celi explained as if that cleared all of the confusion up.

"No, that's not what I-" Ailm facepalmsighed. This second batch of characters definently had a lower overall IQ than his had. "Yes, Popo?" Ailm asked.
