The landing was rough, but Etoile had managed to stick it, being a cat and all... though she had no idea where they were now. It looked a little like space, from the times she and Lepus had gone into space, but then it wasn’t space, or not exactly. Instead of stars, bottles hung in the air, and a mysterious feminine voice was saying something or another about having to pass trials if they wanted to live, and that they had until sunrise. Well, that was pretty rude of the voice, forcing them into doing tasks right away. They had only just gotten here, after all, and now a mysterious voice was trying to threaten them? There were larger bottles floating, too, with scenes depicted in them, apparently the bottles the mysterious voice spoke of. So all they had to do was break the seal, clear the trials, and they would be free, right? The voice also spoke of one last trial after that… but the kitten glossed over that part.
Looking around the gathered crowd, Etoile felt immense relief to see Lepus and Bernard were still nearby, which was good, because the tiny Mauvian certainly didn't want to be alone! At least, she didn’t want to be alone here, wherever here was, because Etoile still didn’t really know. Bernard was suggesting they find a way out, which sounded like a good plan, and Etoile was about to suggest that maybe they visit one of the bottles, in that case. Suddenly, before they could do anything, though the voice was saying something about punishments and gluttons (not her, or at least she didn’t think the voice was talking about her), and a giant... giant scaly monster suddenly appeared, seeming to be very very angry... and very very hungry, apparently, judging from the rampage it was going on.
It became very clear that finding a way out was very imperative now more than ever, if the carnage was any indication. However, ultimately a hungry monster was much faster than two cats, one being kinda fat, and a chibi senshi, despite any magically enhanced speed, as it soon became very apparent. Before her very eyes, Etoile watched as Bernard moved in front of her and Lepus to defend them, only to get eaten, a rather horrifying sight to see in itself. However, Bernard's noble sacrifice seemed to be in vain, for before she could make an attempt at getting away, the scaly monster spotted her. There was no time to react before the giant monster snapped up the kitten in its jaws, easily swallowing her whole; Etoile apparently made for a tasty snack as well, as it became immediately clear to her. Her last thoughts were that at least it was relatively painless, and she didn’t get chewed into many tiny pieces. Hopefully Lepus wouldn’t mourn her too much.
In conclusion, in the end, apparently, talking kittens didn't make for good wolf food, but they did make for a treat for a dinosaur.

Corrupt Mab
As she looked around for a likely target to use her new magical dynamite in a bottle against, other people were also engaging with the mysterious mini-bottles. And the large ones too, but it was the mini-bottles that seemed to be the most...random and interesting. Of course, some had nasty surprises too...such as the one that brought that ******** disembodied voice back.
And let a goddamn Jurassic Park refugee loose.
Mab's eyes went wide with terror - no one within their right mind looked at a twelve meter tyrannid and just thought 'Oh, what a lovely ******** day' - and made a strangled noise as he watched the beast eat a senshi. In one ******** bite, blue-hair was gone. Nothing left. She wasn't even a meal, more like a goddamn hors d'oeuvres with how quickly the beast was seeking out more.
"No. No. Nono. Nononononono." And then the massive prehistoric nightmare fuel made real turned it's terrible head towards Mab and roared. She was absolutely frozen, her limbs locked in fear; by the time movement was possible, it was too late.
The corrupt senshi of spindles disappeared into the belly of the beast.
Strengite returned back to the first, the central, bottle swearing and dripping wet. She was soaked and royally pissed. Even after sinking that damn boat in the sea bottle she still ended up in the water when her own crew of invisible ‘people’ tossed her overboard. The only reason she survived was by thinking of this central bottle.
Her cursing took on a whole new level when she saw the giant dinosaur headed right towards her. “You have got to be bloody kidding me!” Her curse was rather mild considering what she was saying when she first came back but now it was tinged with fear. The large lizard was carnivorous and was looking for some human to munch on. And Strengite appeared to be in the freaking menu!
She scrambled away as fast as possible, stumbling and sliding as her heels sloshed and squished. By the time she glanced behind the T-Rex had raced past. It was chasing the other unfortunate fools who were trapped in the bottle with her.

Chibi Super Lepus - Entering
Apparently, Lepus' group had arrived at a bad time.
She'd just barely had time to listen to the disembodied voice talk about the trials they needed to pass, before apparently they were being punished, and someone let loose a t-rex in the middle of the weird place they had arrived in. Well, that was just great, now wasn't it?
Before Lepus could attempt any sort of heroics and grab the two Mauvians accompanying her so they could make an attempt to escape to safety, the 'gluttonous' (more like 'murderous') predator swallowed up her two feline companions, first Bernard, who had stepped in front of them, then Etoile.
Lepus, of course, wasn't about to stand for her companions being eaten, and while she should have waited around to realize that death wasn't permanent, decided to get mad at the giant dino instead, except before she could exact any kind of revenge... she was crushed, stepped on like some kind of bug.
It wasn't really the blaze of glory she had planned on going out in.
If Aogashima had been a particularly superstitious person, she might have found it to be bad luck to be caught in the middle of not one, but two bad situations. She was about to head after Chambersite into one of the bottles that he had suggested when suddenly a giant dino was let loose and causing general mayhem left and right. Some people were lucky and got away, while others weren't so lucky.
As it was, Aogashima was among the not so lucky... once again, and was eaten by the dinosaur.
[Lieutenant Strengite] [Inventory: Super HP potion]
Stengite absently bumped into one of the randomly floating bottles and to her surprise it started to spit out mist that rapidly shrouded her form briefly. It dissipated as fast as it appeared and it just left behind a confused lieutenant. A cold, wet, annoyed, and confused lieutenant... but a rather unimpaired one.
"Well that made perfect sense," She said quietly only to pause as she realized what she said. She knew what she meant to say but that wasn't what she said at all. "It all makes sense." What the hell?
With a flash of an idea Strengite tried to make a statement, "I voluntarily jumped off my boat, that's why I'm bone dry." Ahhhh.... that entire thing was one giant lie. Could it be the mist caused her to lie? Did it ultimately matter? Its not like she was dealing with anyone or had to converse with anyone. It would just be a problem if she was stuck this way but for now she would deal with it.
What was her other options? Nothing... so nothing to do but live with it. "Lets stay! I've got nothing to do and no where to go!"
She didn't think the Central Hub would be any different than when she last left it. But oh, was she wrong. Still appeared, and the air around her trembled as something monstrous was tearing through the Hub. The corrupt's eyes widened as a T-Rex rampaged through, and oh, of course, it was heading her direction. Self preservation kicked in, and Stillwaterite dove towards the nearest bottle, not caring which one it was.

No time. No time. No time. Acubens emerged from the graveyard at a dead run and made for the sky bottle. The only thing that stopped her was the massive dinosaur standing between her and it.
No time.
She kept running. She had to. With a cry of exertion and a swift leap, Acubens tried to dodge the t-rex, but to no avail. Her last cry was a mix of rage and anguish.

Lieutenant Aventurine is ENTERING
In the time he'd been in the sky bottle, things in the central hub had changed. He had last seen a giant ship barreling their way and then nothing.
But this time there was a dinosaur.
Eyes widened and he looked around, almost frantically, irritation still a strong, hot feeling in his belly before he reached for the first bottle that he found.
He survived, but had no idea what he'd be getting into.

No time. No time. No <********> time.
Acubens arrived on the scene to a monstrous roar and she leapt, this time without looking, towards the sky bottle. She didn't have time to look. She didn't have time to do anything except act.
This time, with more agility and speed, she dodged the yellow teeth of the beast and landed squarely on the Sky Bottle
The ******** t-rex just ate his ******** cousin, and before he even had time to freak out about it, it was already staring at him, a long lock of silver hair dangling from between its ******** this place. ******** this war. ******** it all, ******** it hard, "******** - "
Ah, so leaving the graveyard took him back to the place with the nice bottles and all. Malaise contemplated whether he'd find the prince here again, or something else - turned out to be something else. A dinosaur of all things. A tyrannosaurus to be really specific. Which would have actually been fairly awesome because hey, how often did one encounter a very vivid over-sized dinosaur?
It would have been more fun if it hadn't promptly stepped on him, though. Not much fun in that.
