"I'm fine," She mentioned to May after a second, taking her hand and standing up, looking aroudn the room. "I'm just... confused..." She looked around the room. "...Who is that?" She asked, even MORE confused- pointing to Jes. "He's SO TALL!" ...Of course, most people were tall to her, but he stood with more than two feet towering above her head... The rose-haired girl turned to look at the humorous android. Tilting her head, she analyzed the figure. Certinally humanoid, at least few centuries old if the rust on the framework was accurate. "I'm not quite sure..." |

Shaney looked around at the strange cast of characters he saw. One had metal all over them, one had a VERY unnatural hair color (at least what he was used to) and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
"U-um...hello?" He said softly to no one in particular.

"Huh..." Rose paused, and looked to the boy nearby her. "Hi!"
Max was currently going around the room, looking for people. It was true, none of them here were people he knew... and they all seemed by themselves, some scared, but none looked all that harmful...
He found himself standing in the middle of the room then. Casting one final glance to everyone, he sighed, made himself as tall as he could, and tried to keep his voice steady and confident.
"Everyone!" He said, projecting his voice as loud as it would go without him yelling. "Please. Does ANYONE know why we're here?" He paused for a second. Who was he kidding? NONE of them knew... "A-anyways. It doesn't look like there's really a way out. Or anything like that. Maybe we... maybe we should introduce ourselves to one another?"

Pipi turned from her contemplation of the metal man to look at the boy in the middle. "Ooh, that's a good idea!" she said. "My name's Pipi. And that's Jes. I don't know how he talks or anything, but he seems nice. And I don't know her name-" she gestured to the little girl- "but she seems nice also. I don't remember how I got here or anything. I remember I was carrying ingredients home, and then I remember waking up here." A look of horror suddenly came over her. "I hope I didn't drop them in the middle of the street!"

"I'm...I'm Annie," she said in a voice just loud enough for them to hear it.

Saeren stood the closest to them, so she figured she might as well introduce herself. "I am Saeren Tatsuya, Princess and General of Eyllisathem," she introduced herself, looking around the room at everyone else.

"Um...I'm Shale Tellerman." Shaney said in a volume similar to Annie. "No one here...knows the names Shane or Brianna, do they?"

"Quite a motley bunch, aren't we all?" Jes noted, a whimsical chuckle accompanying his tinny words, "Though I should think I'm the strangest of all. In fact you might say that I'm one of a kind. I'm the only J.E.S.T.R model that you'll ever find."
He looked around, gears whirring softly as he turned, "It's quite a predicament we find ourselves in. My only question now is where to begin. If freeing ourselves is our biggest need, where should we turn to accomplish the deed?"

Shaney felt a little uncomfortable with the constant rhymes, so much so his mind raced to think of limes. Why of limes? It's simple you see, the rhyming is trying to take over me.
But, anyway, Shane looked around, hoping he could possibly get used to seeing these strange people.

"Well, outside and inside are generally separated by a wall," said Pipi. "And there are lots of walls here. So if we get rid of the walls, we'll be outside!"
((GAAAHHH that made Incarceron and No.6 all come into my brain at the same time. Weird, man.))

"Why not start with a door?" asked Annie. "They have to have made a door, otherwise, how would anyone get inside?" It made more sense to just look for a door, even though there had been no indication that there was a door to get outside. "Maybe it's hidden..."

A glint seemed to show up in the Jester's eye. All of a sudden it almost seemed as if the strange robot knew more than he was letting on.
"Perhaps you're getting close, my dear." he said, a cheerful note in his tinny voice, "Go a bit further and the answer is clear."

"The answer?" said Pipi. "You mean this is like a riddle?" She contemplated that for a moment. "Cool! Open all the doors, everyone!"

Max listened to them all.
"I don't think there are doors here. Unless there are some on the ceiling- but that's too high up for us to get to, by the looks of it. Maybe we were brought here by magic?"

May blinked as she slowly scanned her surroundings. "I believe there is only one door, actually." she said, rather quietly. "At least visibly...

"Magic?" asked Annie. "There's no such thing as magic."
So walls and a ceiling, what else makes a house?
...The Floor.
Annie started looking at the cold floor she woke up on. Yep. It was still a cold hard floor, accept one corner where there was a red rug. Annie slowly walked towards it and stepping on it, which made a creaking sound. Annie pulled the rug out and stared right at a wooden trap door.

Saeren smirked, looking at Annie. "That is where you are wrong..." she said. "Magic exists everywhere, if you know where to look."

"Miss, no offense, but I'm ten," said Annie, "plus, my mom and dad told me magic isn't real." She opened the trap door, and was looking down a ladder made of cold iron that went down to a cobblestone floor.

"Of course there's such a thing as magic," said Pipi, curiously following Annie. "Oooh, a trap door. Cool! Uh... should we open it?"

Saeren resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Humans could be so single-minded... She walked over to the trap door. "We should make sure it's safe," she said, producing a fireball in her hand and letting it drop down in the trap door.

Annie jumped back when she saw the fire.
"Wh...how did you...?" She looked at the strange woman before her, her jaw open wide, staring at her in aw and amazement.

The fireball seemed to trigger a chain-reaction. There was a click, then a thunk, then a series of noises indicated a great many chains were being pulled together. Then a rumbling as if walls were being pushed apart followed by the ominous and loud creak of metal most commonly found in a ship graveyard and then what could only be described as a small sonic boom.
There was the sound of a sword being drawn.

Saeren's eyes narrowed. She stood up quickly, and her fists engulfed in flames. "Really wish I had my sword right now," she muttered.

A glint seemed to spark in the old construct's eyes as it stared down the shaft. Perhaps it was simply the glinting of the fire's light off the metal man's optics, or perhaps it was something more. Either way, a low tinny chuckle began in the jester's throat.
"It seems you've discovered the first of your tests." he said, "You'll have to survive to continue your quest." the lights in the room suddenly went out. All that could be seen now were the red lights, glinting from the Jester's pin-lit optics, "I hope for this first one most survive this at least. For now, why don't you go ahead and meet the beast?"
The lights were gone in an instant, and the metal man with them. A light, tinny chuckle could be heard from above as the man disappeared that echoed into the darkness.

Rose gave a small scream as the lights went out. That wasn't supposed to happen! Max froze up, and readied himself. He remembered what Angus and Andrew and Sam and Adam had all taught him.
Fight. Maybe make a speech. Be brave. And never give up.

Saeren growled. "I knew something seemed off," she spoke, looking around the dark room. Her dragon eyes allowed her to see perfectly. The beast. He had mentioned a beast. That bastard! There were children here! "Stay close," she said to the others. "Those who can fight, protect those who cannot."

Annie's eyes seemed to widen at this chain reaction. "Oh no." She cried. Then, as Jester spoke, she paled even more....and then the light went out. She crawled away from the trap door and huddled against a different corner. She couldn't see a thing, but still shut her eyes tight.

Max nodded. Rose found herself doing such too. She tried to find a small alcove, a place where no one could see her, that she might transform...
...She settled for a corner, mumbled, "Wings of Love! Transform!" There was a small flash of light that had covered her body. It faded away now. But she was alarmed. Instead of her usual outfit as Cupid, she had on ribbons... what was going on? Her powers must be interfered with here...

They needed to see, for one. Saeren created a large flame that lit the room with a warm glow. She looked at the others, seeing the fear in many faces and the determination in others. "Do no fret," she said to those who were scared, "No harm shall come to you."

May was remaining close to the others in the group, staying out of the way as she had barely any knowledge on how to fight.
