Ariel stuck her head out from the training room and looked around her. It had been silent for a bit now, and she was curious as to what had happened. She prayed her fate wasn't like the cats as she called out, "Hello? Is it safe to come out now?"

"Wonderful Zah. Thank you!"
Kyocho smiled. Lifting gently on the baby made of wood from off his chest and gently rested back down on the cushion of the sofa. Needing something to do to keep his mind off Neveah. After all... she was almost the first guardian he had met in the wacko place and what if he never had met her in the first place and didn't end up staying in this maze? Would he had never met Oak?!
The elf stood up and gave his frail figure a good stretch before wandering off through the mess in hope in finding a route to the kitchen and it's goody horde it held.
Pieces of wood... wall... other debris scattered it self across the floor.
With his drab color effecting the place, all the elf could do was hope the food hadn't suffered too much. Hopefully the taste only drabbed down and was still edible.
Over a table and through a battered door way the elf finally made his way into what was a kitchen. Letting out a sigh.
"Where to start.."

Shira tried to smile at the group of what she thought were very mature children-coming this far they had to be- and had stood and walked near Kyo to begin fixing up what damage was done to the lobby. When the woman whom she'd seen earlier with the kids stuck her head out and questioned the silence, she had to struggle to keep from giggling.
"I doubt you'll get an answer from the walls outside."
Edit: With that she snagged the woman by the arm and followed Kyo out, stepping over the many pieces of overturned furniture and glass. As soon as they reached the kitchen she'd let go of the woman's shirt and looked all around the Lobby.
"Well, this is kinda my first time here so..." She picked up an overturned stoll and looked to Kyo, "Any ideas?"

"Yashima." The small fox supplied to the other man walked off. He shrugged a little bit, moving slowly after Zah to settle down and lean against his dark friend.
"Oak? Like the tree?" He blinked down at the child curiously, fingers moving to wriggle at Oak. It was a boy and he seemed friendly, if tired.

Oak's eyes began to slowly open. Feeling slightly rested up. This tree boy wasn't one for resting too much. Since there is a whole world to explore... why waste it on sleeping, right? A small smile grew on his face as he watched the colorful looking animal-man wiggle his fingers at him. A soft giggle escaped his lips as he wiggled in his seat.
Kyocho quickly stuck his head out of the once upon a time door way.
"Thank you Yashima and Zah."
The elf shouted happily then ducked back into the kitchen. Then began to scrounge up what he could find.
"Umm... could you help to find some bread and maybe some peanut butter or whatever could go on bread.."

"Siyo. Lykes Hayir." Zasalamel informed his friend, remembering how Oak had pulled on his hair when they first met. "Puhls." He also told his friend, though quietly.
He was getting as tired as the little girl he held in his arms.

"That's okay... The babies at home pull a lot too. I'm used to it." Yashima cuddled closer to Zah, his head tilting on the younger mans shoulder. "C'mere, tree-boy." His small hands pulled the child onto his lap, fingers still wriggling at him in amusement, nose wrinkling.
Zahs tired state was noticed and Oak was left with one Yashi-hand as the other went around hte drows waist. "You look like you're going to pass out, Zah."

Oak just stared up at the strange colors that made Yashi's clothing. Reaching out and grabbing some of the cloth in his hands. Oak felt the odd material it was different, but why did the color stay on... couldn't they come off? Oak pouted.
Looking back up at the face of the boy holding him. Oak stared at the colors that made up his ears, hair, and eyes. They where strange... really different, but interesting. Well enough to keep his attention pulled. Pondering on the many colors, Oak's nose scrunched up. Then he reached up with his stubby fingers and tried to grasp a lock of white and yellow hair, but with no luck.

(( Crossposted from The Battle Thread ))
Thae stared at Sicily's back. Get Inside. Find the Others. Okay, sure...that was a good thing to do. It was simple, to he point, easy to remember. Now, it shouldn't be too hard! Taking a quick look around, Thae spotted the doorway that had to lead into this 'inside' that Sicily spoke of.
"OKAY! I can do this. You can DO this, Anethae!" Thae told itself sternly. After taking a deep breath, the once-spirit brought one knee forward, as it had always done in the spirit realm. An unmoving and equally unsteady few seconds later, Thae fell flat onto its face. OKAY. So the whole walking thing again...it'd have to get used to that. Pushing itself to its feet again, it slowly took its first few steps into its second life. Having walked before, it didn't take Thae long to get the hang of it, and before long it as striding towards the door. Once it got there, it glanced back once into the Gardens, at the chaos that was ensuing.
By the time Thae stepped foot inside, its appearance was settling down from its spazztic changes. Thae's new body had settled on being female, her height around 5'7"; the same as Neveah's, though this body didn't possess the slightly elongated look the butterfly woman once had. Her hair was fire red with yellow-orange tips, settling on being brushed towards the right and layered, the longest locks reaching her shoulders. Her eyes were angled and aqua, like Neveah's had been, and, like the butterfly woman, Thae possessed small antennae-like growths that popped out three or four inches from her skull. The jewel on her forehead had a blue glow to it. Clothing-wise, Thae had doppled what Neveah was wearing; simple baggy jeans and a yellow tank top; the spirit had no choice, it had some manner of decency. Thae no longer looked like Neveah, yet she no longer looked like 'Thae', either. Thae looked like both, and yet neither at the same time.
Of course, like everyone else, her colour was being sucked out of her, and it was happening to her just as sowly as it had happened to everyone else in the headquarters.
"I need..." Thae said slowly at first, this first pitch of her voice sounding eerily like Neveah's. "...I need everyone in one room..." Now, her voice was her own. "NOW, please!" Thae had no idea how to go about this but...this seemed the best route.

The voice had her freeze for a moment, eyes wide, wondering if those shadow monsters had somehow found her hidden spot in some random closet. No? It had sounded famiiar somehow...but Nataki failed to place it. Hurriedly scrambling to her feet, Nataki crept from her hiding place, the dagger still clutched tightly in her hands, unused, and hopefully unneeded. One room? She could do that--she simply needed to find someone, and hopefully follow them.
Swallowing hard, feeling her throat crack from how dry it was, Nataki managed to call out in a fluttery, harsh sort of tone. "Hello...? Is someone here?" Where had that voice come from, anyway? The mousy woman uncertainly pushed the closet open and skulked into the hallway, wondering if perhaps it had been two people who had spoken. Peeking around the door--Nataki froze at the sight of the stranger. Wait, she certainly didn't look like one of those shadow things!
Cautiously moving forward, the tiny woman cleared her throat before squeaking, "I-I'm sorry--was it you who spoke? What happened? Where did those..." She trailed off, unsure what to call the beings. "Where did they go?" Feeling like she was jumping ahead of herself, the woman quietly wrangled her hands for a moment, briefly stopping to push those thick spectacles up on her nose, her hair frizzy and puffed out all over the place. She'd had a hard day--and it looked as though she'd just about snapped. And without warning, the woman all but broke down in tears, clutching at Anethae's arm, sobbing hysterically. "I don't want to here because of t-this mess! I want to go h-h-home!"

Ah, a person!
Anethae smiled at the sight of a person, though her smile was closer to someone having just seen something new and impressive for the first time. Thae had been in the In Between for a very long, long time. "Yeah, I spoke...I dont know what happened, but Miss Sicily is fighting those fugly nasties outside." Thae jerked her thumb towards the door as she spoke. She looked like she had more to say, but...
"AGABUHWHA?!" She cried out rather loudly when she was suddenly grabbed, then cried on. The newly living Anethae had forgotten what tears were...and so the wetness that hit her bare arms was just short of...well, disgusting. Shuddering in her disgust, the red-head pressed her finger against the other woman's forehead, pushing just enough to keep the gross wet stuff away from her.
"That's just disgus----I mean!" Thae had stuck her tongue out in disgust, but promptly pulled it back with a clever throat-clearing noise. "You're not gonna die. Just uh...we gotta stay together, yeah? Miss Sicily'll kill those big fugly nasties and you can all go home. Whereever that is, anyway. Just..." Thae had been afraid to wipe the wetness off of her own arm, and she was still pretty sure that it was somehow acidic. "Don't leak, please..."
Apparently, Thae needed help with this whole....living thing.

Both the finger to her forehead and the cleverly disguised disgust was completely missed by the slightly hysterical blonde, who, hiccuping slightly as she fought to control herself, dabbed at her eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry..." Sniffing loudly, Nataki scuttled back a pace or two so she could properly look at this newcomer, not quite sure who 'Miss Sicily' was. "One of those...the good ones?" She finally said meekly, having to dab at her eyes yet again, looking a bit more calm at least.
"I'm Nataki," She added as an afterthought, sniffing one more time and feeling downright miserable. The sticking together part would be no problem at all--the worrywart had found someone who didn't A, terrify her, or B, shoo her away, so stuck they would be until she was sent scampering off in terror by something or another. Chewing worriedly on her thumbnail, the woman uncertainly looked Anethae up and down for a moment, something gnawing at the back of her mind.
"You look--familiar." Nataki said all of a sudden, slipping the dagger in one of her coat's overly large pockets so her hands could strangle one another again. "Were you here before? I must have missed you--I'm awfully slow like that sometimes. I was so frightened, you wouldn't believe some of the people that I've seen around here--" She was babbling now, obviously unable to quell her nervousness. "--And so that's why I was in that closet--Oh, I'm sorry, I don't think I got your name." She finished, all but out of breath, wide eyes staring up at the red head.

"S'okay just...don't leak." It was gross to her, but at the same time, she figured not leaking meant bravery. Was that how it went? She'd forgotten. Anethae looked completely relieved when the leaky woman let go of her. "She's the Good...est...of the good ones!" Thae offered, as if to reassure her. Then, she was lost in the woman's babblings, and the aqua-eyed woman was left to try and sort out what was being said.
"Well uh, Nataki...Yes but No to the first question. Uhh...I doubt you mised me I'm sorry you were scared but I think its okay now strange looking people you say is that so well a closet is a good hiding place for sure and I never said my name but its Anethae but you can call me Thae if you prefer.." The newly living woman tried to answer as fast as she was being asked and talked to, but it was clear she wasn't used to having to talk that fast and listen at the same time.
"But uhm...wanna help me get everyone into a far room or something? I don't know where everyone else is, or how many of you there are."
