Kaida's eyes widened when she saw Aux summon out his keyblade and she quickly grabbed it and looked him straight in the eyes and said at a hostile whisper volume, "Have you gone insane? Why are you summoning out your keyblade and looking ready to attack this thing? There's a little girl right there? Are you gonna try and hurt a little gir- actually. This is in perfect character for you I don't know why I'm confused." Kaida let go of his keyblade and said, "Put that away." she turned towards the direction of the blue alien and observed before she responded looking at Stratos, "If you wanna walk up to her and start talking, go on ahead. But I think it'd be better to wait until he's not immediately near her and swipe him then. What I'm saying is we're probably gonna be in for the long hall."
Take was a little more amused than he probably should have been how this Kronk guy seemed to just do all of the work for them. A shame, he didn't seem like all that bad a guy. He kind of wanted to learn a little more about Bucky the Squirrel. But then as they seemed to wrap stuff up, there was a giant hat. When Torrin asked who would even wear a giant hat, he thought a little about it and snapped his fingers and said, "That giant heartless with the red eyes could. Anyway yeah, let's do this." The boy ran forward and quickly decided to go and use some magic this time. He cast one of the more recent spells he learned, Fatal, and let out a bit of a gasp as he felt himself be drained before he charged on in with a couple of broad slashing attacks.

When she heard Ananta's voice and tensed up as she felt the green haired girl clawing her way into this situation and it made her pissed the blonde stopped short in the middle of her walking and she turned to Ananta and said with a low voice, "Get away from me. Stop talking with me with this familiarity. We're not friends, I've made plenty of give to make you feel comfortable. But the closest I consider you is something like a co-worker." Kaida finished off her ice cream and wiped her face and threw the flower Ananta gave her back at her, "Give me space, or I'll forcefully make my own space." Kaida began her power walk to leave when she ran herself into a taller woman that looked like a local, the woman looked a bit frantic and simply said, "Watch it." while Kaida held up her hands and apologized and backed away. The black haired woman walked her way over towards the direction of the old lady. Following her was a little girl with a red wagon filled with a bunch of randomly assorted items which kind of looked like she was preparing for a performance. And sniffing around her was... a blue dog. In that moment, Kaida realized their target objective was here. She let out a sigh of despair and took twelve steps back over towards Ananta and said, "We'll uh... we'll talk about this later..." and she made her way back towards Stratos and Aux and said, "The coincidence fairies hath arrived..." and she pointed as casually as she could towards who she assumed was Stitch.
Kaida rolled her eyes at Aux's bewilderment over the winging it thing and she said, "Look, even if we didn't. What would we have to go on half the time? It's worked out fine most of the time. Also, I'm pretty sure we covered this in Pridelands." Kaida thought about the comment Aux made and licked her own ice cream cone and held the other one back towards Aux and said, "Come on, Aux. She even managed to grab cookies and cream flavor. Your favorite." she waited a long moment and got annoyed by his attitude and growled out, "Unless you're just really liking turning your back on everything you love lately." she realized how hostile that came across and her eyes widened and she looked away, eventually holding the ice cream out for Stratos to take since Aux had not yet and she sighed and reached into her bag and pulled out a map of the island and looked around and said, "The shelter's not far from here. So I'll get a head start... unless something happens otherwise..." and she folded up the map again and walked to leave.

When Ananta placed the flower in her hair, she shifted it back so she could see what it looked like before putting it back on and saying, "Thanks Ananta. That was sweet." she took a couple licks of her ice cream and watched Stratos recoil back from the cold and giggled and said, "Be careful not to eat it too fast or it'll hurt. I think Aux called it a brain freeze once?" she looked as if to try and confirm with Aux before she felt her mood set off again. She listened in to Ananta talking her clothes and sitting down, while Stratos made a comment about the outfit not blending in most places. Then she heard Aux yell about something being small and blue and realized he was already on the hunt. Kaida looked over at the others and said, "Maaaybe we should... help with that." and she tilted her head in the direction of Aux while she started making her way back slowly, holding the ice cream in both her hands. As she walked up to Aux, she reached up and placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "Aux. Chill. What happened to you being the calm one?" Kaida looked at the old lady and said, "We're looking for a small blue..." she remembered them saying it looked kind of like Steel, but she couldn't imagine wolves were walking around everywhere here so she added, "...dog?" "We don't usually sell yule logs this time of year, dear." "No. Dog. A dog." "You want a hot dog?" "A SMALL AND BLUE DOG!" Kaida finally yelled out ending up giving into the frustration as well.
Kaida stared at Stratos for quite a bit of time as she began to process that he did in fact, not know what ice cream was. It almost seemed strange that he didn't know, even her world for all it's shortcomings and what she would deem backwards lifestyle still had ice cream. Granted, it was usually a thing that was thrown out for birthday celebrations and things of the like. Realizing an opportunity for someone to try something new she was pretty sure they would like, Kaida's eyes found a person touring around with an ice cream cart and she grabbed Stratos' hand and began pulling him away saying, "Okay I know we should probably be looking for that alien but it has been a long boat ride with a lot of emotions and I want you to experience the joy of iced cream." when she got to the cart she let go of his hand and looked at the ice cream and was sad there was no pistachio and said, "I'll take the mint chocolate chip then. Um..." she looked over to Stratos and stared a long moment and said , "You seem like a vanilla kind of guy." she paused a minute after saying that and realized how that sounded and clarified, "L-Like the flavor I mean."

Kaida watched the had bobble a bit and listened to his questioning over what a honeymoon is and she shrugged, "It's something that was done on my homeworld, but apparently in some places two people who love each other get married. Some places have celebrations after the wedding where the two basically go on a trip alone together to celebrate their union." Kaida put the bobblehead back away in her bag and continued explaining, "A tourist trap is a place designed specifically to lure visitors in. They hike up prices of items because people will pay more when they've got all the energy around it. They're not... inherently bad. But one opened up on Central Haven for a little while and I gave up so much money to it because of the ice cream they imported in... mmm... ice cream..." she looked around to see if maybe there were ice cream stands nearby that she could buy some. Kaida had no idea what kind she would get, maybe this time she'd have pistachio. As she looked she commented, "It's such nice weather for it. You better at least know what ice cream is."
Purrah heard the voice of someone following her and seeming to speak directly to her, which she found curious. When they said they hoped she knew where she was going the catfolk looked in their direction and said, "Thissss one runs away from riot without a place in mind." but it did not take long for her running to end with a destination regardless, since she heard a noise of alarm that ended up drawing her that way just because she felt a safe enough distance from the other craziness, but she still had her personal mission in mind. As she listened in towards the interaction the cat was disgusted by the idea of... well she didn't know if he did anything wrong in accordance to Thrune and she didn't quite care. But just going straight to killing someone was crossing the line for her, and with a wave of emotions on her mind, slight inebriation, and probably a healthy dose of stupidity, the catfolk ran on in for the fight at the Dottari and slammed her fist into his face. Purrah attacked the Dottari. Did 9 damage Spoiler: rolls Attack: Roll(1d20)+4: 11,+4 Total:15 Damage: Roll(1d6)+4: 5,+4 Total:9
As the core hit the ocean, it seemed to quietly sink for a few seconds before the water above bubbled and there was a sudden shaking of everything. It almost felt like a smaller scale earthquake hit the area, and just as it did, the cave that everyone had worked so hard into clearing out was caved in again. It was quite fortunate everyone had been out by that point, though they probably could have dug themselves out once more since it just seemed to be the entrance that fell. Mora walked with the rest of them and was able to stand up a little straighter and without support anymore. She looked at everyone and smiled a bit and said,"I know it you guys kind of kicked off this mess, but you guys did end up coming through and getting everything fixed. All of you." she emphasized that point as she looked over at Chrono and then looked to the rest and said, "Thank you for saving my home, and thank you for saving me. I wish we didn't lose so many along the way but, I'm glad this did not turn out for the worst. And I've got a cool new weapon out of it... wait..." Mora backed up a bit and tried to summon out her keyblade again just to check, and it did appear once more, though it appeared out of a darker aura than a spectacular light. But Mora didn't pay that too much mind as she gave it a couple of swings. A little blue bird with the golden eyes flew quickly over and landed on Cerdic's shoulder with a suddenness that would probably freak out the man, but more birds could definitely be heard chirping now, in fact there seemed to be a lot more sounds from nature now, like there was life in the world again.
Kaida bought herself an orange and began pealing it then and there and grabbed a couple of potential extras for later. As she got herself a couple of orange slices she walked back over towards Stratos and whispered, "I feel like Ananta is very clingy and I don't know why... did I miss or do something?" she went to grab another slice and eat it but paused midway and rolled her eye, "You know, besides being in mourning? It reminds me of when she was trying to calm down Karina and was failing." Kaida ate the slice finally and chewed for a bit as wondered if perhaps Ananta's crystal sun somehow made it so she could not understand that hugging and trying to include them in things when they needed space was a bad idea. She also just... didn't know Ananta well enough to fully feel comfortable with home friendly and familiar she acted. Wanting to change the subject before Ananta somehow heard her, she looked around the place at more of the fruit, "Also someone said something about 'enjoying my honeymoon'. I don't know what's up with this place but I think we're in a largely caluclated tourist trap with the intent on exploiting an icon of the indigenous population... or it's... just a vacation spot and I'm overthinking it. But there's a lot of this thing called "hula"." The blonde then pulled out the bobblehead she bought from the store and showed it to Stratos while it looked like it was dancing, "It's fun. And kind of adorable."

Kaida did not like Ananta getting all up in her business the second she began to back off. It was most definitely because Kaida was clearly intending to fade into the background again to be with her thoughts. Having an arm suddenly wrap around her making her feel like someone was forcing her to be at their speed angered her a lot more than words probably could have described, at least not in PG language. But she also was not in a fighting mood, so as soon as she had to chance to keep away from Ananta, which involved her going and trying on new clothes, she separated herself and got a good look around at what the deal was with this world and try to get a good idea on where they should perhaps look. The shop was filled with knick knacks and t-shirts and it was at that moment she realized exactly what this place was: a tourist trap. Kaida shuddered a bit at the idea of it, but got a look at some of the postcards and got a nice look at some of the scenery and need-to-go locales. There were some mountains, volcanoes, lots of beaches. There were a lot of photographs of these dancers in leaf skirts and there seemed to be some sort of gimmick with what seemed to be tropical flowers. The girls in the leaf skirts were all over the place with head bobbles, calendars, t-shirts, mugs, key chains, snow globes (which to Kaida seemed rather ironic because of a tropical setting), license plates, there were even some dolls with the same design. It was frightening how much they were pushing this one thing that she wondered if it was someone who was famous on this world, or some sort of traditional clothing? Kaida picked up one of the bobbleheads playing a tiny guitar and watched it bobble back and forth as she realized the instrument was playing over the radio of the shop in order to set the mood. She giggled a bit in amusement at it. She kind of wished she could show Hikaru it, maybe he would have found the whole thing as amusing as she did. As she placed down the bobblehead she moved around the shop to look at some more stuff and found a map of the island and decided to go and pick that up and she saw the clothing section of the area and decided to give it a look. It was that same floral deal. Kaida had no idea why this was a thing, but looking around at the other people walking around, it must have been what at least tourists wore. That's how they could pass off. Kaida took off the extra belts on her shorts to make them look like normal shorts in the store and she looked around for something else to wear. There was a pretty nice sundress type thing that was white with floral patterns. Kaida liked it very much and remembered how long it had been since she wore a dress and got a little excited at the idea of it. She tried it on, and it went just over her shorts, but if she jumped it rode up a bit and her shorts could be seen. So she went with that look and bought herself one of the flower necklaces and placed it on. She also got herself a couple of those flower necklaces for the others. When she walked back over to the group she put the flower necklace on Ananta, then Stratos, then Steel, when she turned over to Aux she just kind of held the necklace out to him and then walked away again to look at other stuff. People probably thought she was snubbing him or something, which she totally was but the reason she ultimately did not try to put the flower necklace on Aux was because of how much taller he was than her. She would have had to have pulled him down and she was most certainly not in the mood for it. Kaida looked around for other stuff in the store to keep trying to figure out what was up with the place but it seemed a lot of the focus for this place was the beach and the ocean. She also began picking up on a few things, for one she was pretty sure most of the people here were not locals, they were also tourists. The locals were the ones they seemed to itemize with the leaf skirts, which Kaida finally found the item name to realize it was something called a "hula skirt" and that the flower necklaces she gave everyone were called "leis". Kaida decided to go ahead and buy one of those bobbleheads out of amusement, maybe when this was all over she could have it around as a souvenir. It fascinated her enough. She walked up to the cashier on the other side of the store this time, to keep just the slightest bit more time from looking at Aux's face or being pulled into Ananta's unwelcome grasp, and once she checked out, the cashier said something about enjoying her honeymoon? Kaida had absolutely no idea what he meant by that, did she look like she was on a honeymoon or something? She barely even thought about the odd things people did in other homeworlds. Once Kaida was done shopping she indicated to everyone she was going to wait outside and she left to sit outside and look at the rest of the shops. It was more of less all of the same with a few other stores mixed in. Kaida noticed there was a farmer's market type thing across the street that was selling fresh fruit and vegetables and just looking at it made her stomach growl. She took a deep breath to control herself since she wanted to wait for the others, but she could not resist the growl for long and she walked her way across the road to get herself some fresh fruit. Particularly eyeing some apples, though she considered getting an orange instead. Food.
Zelph felt Tellia's hand and could tell how her discomfort was, he nodded and gave her hand a gentle squeeze before beginning to head out the the room and soon the house with her. Once outside, Iridia looked and saw they were out and she made herself fly up to Hedgrit's bag again and slid herself inside and curled up at the bottom. The color in her wings turned to an orange and she stared off a bit, she did this usually to let the others know she was resting because of her magic, but she could help if there was emergency. So far there was only one time her wings turned "red" to signal she needed complete rest and couldn't help at all, and that was the third day she joined Zelph and Tellia, when she was very weak. She knew Hedgrit was a lot more recent and she explained her coding at some point to him, knowing he probably was annoyed it had to be explained but she gave him ale so what was he to do. Zelph looked at the dwarf and said, "Family's all gone. I took what was salvageable."
