Arcana grabbed Thyx by the hand, and dragged him to the elevator, in a totally-cool-and-definitely-not-at-all-awkward fashion. She hummed a little of Africa by Toto as they rode the elevator up to her floor, which was coincidentally floor 69. Nice.
She placed her hand on the door and stared at it intensely. And from sheer willpower alone, the door unlocked itself out of fear. But actually it was because she had simply used her powers again. But Thyx wouldn't be able to tell, because it was a dang diggity cool trick, dammit.
"Hey dude, this is my room. I hope you don't mind the mess. Because cleaning is for losers, y'know? Go sit on my couch, I'll fix you up a drink."
Inside the room was a lot of weird furniture, most likely from Arcana's powers, but Thyx wouldn't know that, psshhht. Instead, it would probably look like some really cool abstract, avant-garde art shit. Hell yeah.
Outside this initial room, there was a makeshift music studio, a bathroom, and finally, Arcana's bedroom. Since the door was closed the only way to tell it was her room was that it said "Arcana's Room - KEEP OUT!" in big lettering on the door. It was ULTRA COOL.
"Make yourself at home, hunk."
She continued preparing a drink that would either taste amazing or taste like whale piss mixed with strychnnine. But it was a chance Thyx was going to have to take........................

[Iso] Foyer "Don't worry about it, buddy! I'm sure you'll find another way to aid your people that doesn't involve a battle royale to the death!" Bunny assured Xylia with a comforting smile. Which was the same smile as his usual smile. :3 "Maybe you should try-" :3 Bunny was cut off by the sound of the doors sliding open, so buttery and smooth that it caressed his ears like a gentle lover. He turned around in slow motion, eyes (metaphorically) widening as he saw Vers standing there. :3 "Vers! You're back!" Bunny cried, tears (metaphorically) welling in his eyes as an orchestra played from somewhere unknown. He hopped back onto the couch and leapt off of the armrest also in slow motion, attempting to throw himself into Vers' surely loving arms. :3 Kitchen Cel seated herself at the Lizard Table(tm), tilting her head curiously at Altuun's response. "Huh? Yeah, I guess that'd make Violet a goddess!" she responded, "And what's so weird about that? It's pretty normal for gods to interact with people, isn't it?"She kneaded her skirt. This was a bit awkward. "Um... isn't it...? I know, like, a whole bunch of gods... a lot of them tend to hang around this Reality..." she spoke up again, more quietly this time as she looked up in thought. Arcana's Room "W-Whoa! I didn't know this place had so many floors! Or that you lived here!" Thyx commented in awe as he walked out of the elevator, looking around the room. "Wow, this place is TOTALLY METAL!!!! I bet you could make some sick jammage here!" he gasped, focused on the music studio as he hopped on the couch. So many wonders! So many wonders!!!! So many details.

With his battle-hardened Vers Reflexes (TM)*, Vers caught Bunny almost effortlessly. It had felt like years since he'd been back in Castle Oress - back during the previous Competition, if his memory was right. But this was where it all began, so it was only fair that he stopped by here.
"Of course! I wouldn't miss out on coming back to hang with my favorite people, would I?" Vers said, before resting his free hand on top of the couch, crouching slightly, and vaulting over it. Landing with a practiced thump as he had so many times before, Vers grabbed the remote, and turned the TV on.
...
...
...
What, you actually expected him to do anything serious here?
*Note: Vers Reflexes trademark is still pending.

After a brief pause to collect her thoughts, Altuun shook her head in response to Cel's assertion regarding deities.
"As far as I am aware, that's definitely a statistical anomaly. Seems to me like that would cause an untold amount of issues... but again, I digress. We are new to this entire multi-planar travel thing, after all. On that note, do you think that any of these aforementioned deities might happen to know where Violet or her father happen to be? Violet always kept her magical aura kinda... suppressed, I'm going to guess, but a full-fledged god might be easier to track down."
Altuun sunk back into her seat for a moment, warily eyeing the strawberry sammich in her hand for a moment before taking a bite. And then another, and then the sammich was gone.

[Roz] "Now, now, Altuun," Suzume interjected from the seat she had taken sometime during Cel's rambling, "It's not as if it's completely unheard of for godlike beings and higher powers to mingle with mortals where we come from, is it? Though I would hope that tracking down Violet's father would be simpler than contacting the Mother Crystal, and that he's more amicable than a primal."Suzume was actually rather excited at the prospect of meeting a god from another world, never mind the fact that Violet had been a demigod the entire time! Just another step towards unraveling the mysteries of the universe... and their missing roommate. She caved and snapped up one of the little treats before her. As she ate, she idly turned her gaze towards Cel for a moment before speaking, pondering the path ahead of them. "Tell us, Cel, does Black visit often? If that is the case, it might be safer to just wait here, rather than dash off into the unknown in search of an entire pantheon of strangers to question." Perhaps she felt changing her tune on staying was the better decision, tactically speaking. Although it was more than likely that she just wanted more of the sandwiches.

[Iso] Foyer Bunny would have shed a manly tear at that moment if not for his perpetual :3 face. Instead, he settled for seating himself next to Vers on the couch, and by seating I mean leaping up in the air and performing a variety of twists and flips before landing in a completely still sitting position. :3 "I knew you wouldn't forget about us! Though it's kind of a ghost town around here... I mean, up until this thread opened, anyway. It's just been me, Cel, and Thyx for a while, though that's cool because they're cool! But I guess this isn't the hottest place in town unless there's some murderin' goin' on..." :3 As per usual, the TV only showed YTPs and videos of similar shitpost quality. Will they ever get that fixed...? Kitchen Cel listened curiously to Altuun, honestly kind of baffled at the idea that she was baffled. Knowledge of Them and Their personal involvement with the Test Reality was such a natural part of her life that she had never stopped to think that other people had different experiences with deities. She supposed if they hadn't been in this weird inter-dimensional mess for long that was more explainable, but it was still surreal to think about. She then turned to Cel, unconsciously nodding along slightly as if she had any idea what a Mother Crystal or primal was. "Umm, well... sometimes? It was a while since I last saw Black up until recently... I saw him hanging out in a field not too far from here just the other day!"...Cel you're painting a really weird picture of Black here "So, I'd think that he'd probably still be somewhere in the area, and maybe he'll even stop by soon! I dunno if any of those deities I talked about would help out, though... they're not actually omnipresent or anything, and I don't have direct contact with any of them... though there is a reality-bender just a few blocks down who could probably pinpoint his location if he doesn't show up!" she explained. "Hm, though..." Cel put a finger on her chin, looking up in thought, "Bunny is right there in the foyer and he tends to mysteriously know a lot of things for some reason... if you asked him, he might know more! He's the rabbit with the little 3-shaped mouth!"Y'know, this is a really goddamn weird setting if you think about it.

"Eh, that's to be expected. People only really tend to want to go where the action's at, after all. Personally? I'm fine with just chilling around here. Maybe do some retrofitting around the castle to improve quality of life up in here."
Vers stretched, and leaned back into the couch.
"You know, if Opine ever does throw me into one of those damn Competitions again, I'm probably not going to bother with the fighting. I can't speak for my brother or Exuro, but I think I'm getting tired of all this fighting. I'd rather just spend my time building cool things."

Altuun nodded along when Suzume started to speak of their... particular dealings with higher being back home, her expression doing a fantastic job of hiding the amount of internal screaming that she was currently experiencing. From what little Violet had mentioned, the less known about your home star around these places, the better.
"Bunny, hm? I suppose there is no harm in at least inquiring, provided your... musically inclined acquaintance has finished his serenading by now. The rabbit with the three face, got it," Altuun mused, pausing to snag another of the strawberry sammiches to munch on while she attempted to process the mix of weird field god dads, numerically-faced rabbits, and reality benders. Violet is going to have to some questions to answer, to say the least.

Suzume narrowed her eyes at the suggestion. "... We're going to ask a rabbit where a god is, then? A small, fuzzy creature is going to help us track a deity?"
A chill briefly went down her spine as she considered how dealings with small, fuzzy creatures usually went down back home. As she considered... Moogles.
Hopefully this Bunny wouldn't quite as inclined to play hide and seek as they were before offering anything of use.
"Oh, fine, I suppose it couldn't hurt to try," she grumbled, crossing her arms.
She nodded towards Altuun, who was undoubtedly still in the middle of processing all of the juicy information they had just learned... and the sandwiches, of course.
"Well, whenever you're finished stuffing your face, I suppose."

[Iso] Kitchen "That won't be necessary." :3 Suddenly, Bunny appeared in the doorway, looking magnificent and important despite being a tiny bunny rabbit. He hopped over to the group, jumping up onto one of the chairs. Cel didn't look too alarmed despite how quickly Bunny appeared, presumably used to his antics. :3 "Vers mysteriously vanished, I guess, so I'm here now!" he said casually, taking a strawberry sammich. He never opened his mouth, but it was eaten nonetheless... :3 "I might just be a cute lil fuzzy bunny, but I'm a pretty worldly fellow," he informed the two with a nod. "I'm buds with pretty much all the deities around here. In fact, me and Black go wayyyy back! We're total bros. Anyway, if you're looking for him, I think he's over in The Park. Just got a feeling, just kind of a Black place to hang out, y'know? It's a couple blocks down from here, so if you go fast you could probably make it before he goes anywhere else!" :3 "Wow, Bunny... that's super specific!" Cel commented, in awe as though she simply assumed Bunny's prediction was right. "It's a gift." :3

Altuun once again opened her mouth to respond, but was quite abruptly cut off by the sudden appearance of Bunny. Once the aforementioned three-faced rabbit had finished his alarmingly-convenient exposition, she glanced back over at Suzume for a moment and shrugged before snatching one final strawberry sammich from the tray.
"Well, so long as there's no inconvenient hoops to jump through, I'm all for it. And you, Suz? If he doesn't know where Violet is, at the very least there are a few... questions that I'd like to run by him," she stated, tail flicking ever so slightly as she pondered the thought-- a surefire sign that Suzume wouldn't like what she was currently plotting.

Although she was relieved that the rabbit was quite unlike the moogles back home and wasn't going to make them rush off to fetch pointlessly well-hidden snacks, or play hide and seek in exchange for the information they sought, Suzume still narrowed her eyes at Altuun's implications. "I can't say I follow... less so that I can't make a guess at what you're planning, and more that I'd rather not see you reduced to ashes by an offended God of Secrets. But yes, we may as well try asking if he's truly so close by."
Suzume stood up from her seat and began making her way out. "I suppose we'll be off then. Thank you both for the information and hospitality," she said, turning around at the Kitchen's exit and making a light, respectful bow towards Cel and Bunny. "Perhaps we'll visit again sometime after we've tracked down Violet. Or if Altuun fancies a snack on our way back from the park."

[Iso] Kitchen "Oh, don't worry! I know he's a god and all, but Black is a really nice guy! He'd never hurt anyone if they wouldn't hurt others first!" Cel assured the two. "And feel free to come back any time! It was really nice meeting you! I hope you find Violet soon!" she said with a wave. Bunny too waved... with his ears, anyway. :3

[Iso] Arcana's Room Wow, this Arcana chick sure was cool! Thyx needed to step up his game! "Heh... you got that right! You know what's really metal? Nutrition!" he said, combing back his hair. "We've got a pretty sweet kitchen downstairs on the main floor! It's stocked with all kinds of good stuff!"...That wasn't really "cool," but being helpful and promoting bodily health is cool to Thyx! Also he didn't actually know if there was anything in the kitchen other than Cel's many strawberry creations, but anything Cel made was probably good stuff!

"Oh, don't worry. I hadn't planned on asking anything too unnerving. Just a little scientific curiosity, that's all!" Altuun reassured after rising from her seat and joining her companion at the exit to the kitchen. She mimicked Suzume's bow as well before turning to exit the kitchen. Polite lizards!
