Slowly, ever so slowly the realization of so many people in one place began to creep up on her. Oh, chiri tried to push it aside, there were more important things to do, but it didn't help when her breathing began to quicken. At the moment, chiri did the only thing she could do to settle herself down and shut her eyes tight. "need to help Urahara..." She chanted under her breath, in attempts to get that at a normal pace as well as her brain.
"W-with two boats, do you think we'd be able to cover enough ground?" chiri finally asked after a few minutes. She twitched slightly and placed one of her hands upon her arm, with one eye finally opening to to glance at the map and actually see where they were going and then slid her gaze over towards Neith. And then came a big deep breath to continue calming her nerves.

Itsuki blinked and looked up, sensing someone approaching him. When the girl with the beautiful hair greeted him, he wasn't sure exactly how to react. His first glance at her showed how ...timid? she was. His gazed softened out of respect and he nodded a little. "...Good day."
Oh! That's right, Kyoko was here too. Itsuki had forced himself to not think about her in order to keep serious, but now... she had said something to him, didn't she?
Once he looked up at her, he fought a blush and couldn't help returning a small smile. "A-ah... Yeah."
...Another girl? With Ardre stepping out, he wondered just why he always found himself in a room full of pretty girls. In fact, he only recognized Kyoko, which made him a little more uneasy. At least they weren't treating him like a kid...
But the other one... her appearance looked kind of familiar to Itsuki. Dark skin, red hair... What was that name she just mumbled?
So the boy blurted out the first thing to chiri that came to his mind, "Are you Urahara's mom?"

"I think so, yea. It's all I could manage to hire. I know there's a lot of islands, but a lot of them are pretty small, so it won't take much to circle them? If we don't find anyone... we just start again. Or something. But we will find them."
Neith went over to the oven, bringing out the huge pizza. "Here... eating while thinking is good. Help yourselves."

chiri made a small noise as she jumped. Woah! Someone had heard her and it was in the form of a short brown haired boy. "Ura's mother....?" Her eyes darted across the floor and then settled on Itsuki again. "Um.. no?" Wait, "maybe? I dunno... kind of? He lives with me...." How could she have mothered a teenager who came out of a necklace? Weird.
"Oo! Food!" The red head exclaimed in glee, bouncing past the small boy and towards the pizza in Neith's hands. chiri's easily distracted mind strikes again!

Huni didn't have the appetite to eat, she was too worried to even think of eating... "How many of us are going, exactly?" she asked.

Tlachta bowed again, then scuttled back to Ardre's side, her one act of boldness towards a male done for the day. She ran a hand through a hair unconsciously, almost a nervous act. So many people! And all seeming stressed. The feeling in the air was like the build-up before a storm, storms she liked, but not this palpable maelstrom of feelings. And who was the girl with the sharp looks and tongue. She looked at the girl who seemed garbed in the strange clothes of these modern times and inclined her head in greeting to her as well.

"I'm Ardre," The teen ventured, and then cast a side-long glacne at Laccie who had retreated again. "And this is Tlachta."
Ardre sniffed cautiously at the pizza, and then wrinkled her nose in an answer. "You don't have any carrots, or apples or anything?" she whispered to Neith, her favorite foods being those directly from the earth.

Kyoko just nodded at the inpolite colourful girl and her eyes went wide as she noticed the pizza. "Who in the whole wide world will eat this ?" The teen almost spit the words out and stared with disgust at the fastfood. "This is so unhealthy...don't you have anything that won't destroy our bodies ?"
Lena just stared at Kyoko and was close to run out of the building. Her daughter was crazy...but she had never expected her to be like that in public.

Huni would have rolled her eyes at what Kyoko said, even though the teen did have a point. But fastfood would only be bad for you if you kept eating it daily. Once in a while was fine, at least that's what her own doctors told her.
"Um, sorry, but if we won't be discussing the rescue mission much longer I really must be getting back home." the red head stated.

Itsuki blinked at the woman and sweatdropped when she easily became distracted. She was definitely Ura's guardian... but he couldn't deny she was a little strange. Maybe now wasn't the best time to talk to her, anyway.
At the sight of pizza, another food Itsuki had become accustomed to, the boy was about to head over to get a slice himself. However, upon hearing Kyoko's declaration against the meal, he stopped in his tracks.
"... ... That's right, its um. Bad for you." Damn, it looked delicious though... He glanced carefully at the teenage girl to see if she approved of his actions.

chiri scruntched her nose as she took a big bite of the piece of pizza she had taken from the offered plate. Geez, what was with these people?! It was free food and they had to be such snobs! "mm... cheese..." She added, one would think it was just to get more out of them, but it really wasn't. chiri ... just liked cheese.
Sneaking another piece of pizza, while still not even done with her current one, chiri glanced from Itsuki - the boy who seemed to know Ura - and then at Huni. Her mind suddenly clicked to why she had come in the first place and then shifted her eyes upon Neith, also waiting for more about this rescuing thing.

At least Itsuki seemed to be a responsible young one. Kyoko smiled friendly and nodded towards the smaller not certainly younger one. She estimated him as some kind of teenager already to prevent herself from feeling to chaotic. But as she looked at him it caused her to blush slightly again and so she just decided to stare at the stupid pizza. "Well, what's going on now ? Organisation ? Someone needs to take the control ! So...how are we going to save my brother and the others directly ? What do we need to take with us ? Blankets, food, such things..."

"Well, not all pizzas are fast food and come from a shop." Neith replied, shrugging. The girl's loss. Neith hadn't made it for people who thought food was bad for them.
"Of course we are, I was just handing out the food. The bread sometimes helps some people relax and think. " ...and it was clear who was relaxed and who wasn't.
Neith guestured to the maps. "First we need to know who goes on which boat, and what areas we'll search each day. Plus, we need a meeting spot outside the zone."

Itsuki's cheeks turned red when he noticed the girl blush, and so he turned to watch Neith instead. It was easier for him to stay calm when he had the information to focus on, but the questions she proposed made him wonder.
Who should he travel with? The only person he knew amongst them all was Kyoko, but there was more to a rescue party than who you liked. He didn't know anyone else's strengths or weaknesses at all.
And a place outside the zone? As he looked over the map, he frowned a little bit, "There isn't anything really nearby the islands, is there?" The shop would probably be too far away. And there wouldn't be many landmarks out on the ocean, either. Hrm.
"Maybe we could search one island together and designate that one to be our meeting spot?" He didn't really have any other ideas.

Huni had already asked the same question Kyoko made but did it sound more important coming from her than a guardian? Huni felt miffed at this but said nothing, instead she folded her arms across her chest and finally took a look at the map.
"Erm, I don't know much about zones and whatnot, and I'm of no use in map reading, but maybe we should divide the group into searching small and large islands? Like Boat A will be in charge of the big ones, while Boat B will look in the small ones? Since the big islands are larger there could be more people in them as opposed to the group searching the smaller islands. Personally I'd rather search the small islands myself." she added, not really wanting to say that searching the big islands scared her.
