"I'm up for some bitchin' kitchen delights! Lead on, dudearino!" Arcana high fived Thyx because he was a cool motherfucker for suggesting food, which was absolutely the coolest thing you could find in a kitchen, aside from Arcana sitting in there eating food, wearing the world's coolest sunglasses.
She opened up the fridge, even though she knew there was nothing there, and was disappointed once again that there was nothing there. She did a Hinata-esque pose, and began heading towards the door, grabbing Thyx by the, gasps, hand, and dragging him back out of the room, off towards the elevator.
"You can have the honours, dude. Press the everloving FUCK out of that elevator button so we can get some heckin' grub." Arcana did finger guns, radiating so much cool that someone in Timbuktu fainted instantly, blown away by the cool, somehow. I don't know how. How do things work. How does words work.
is this real life

[Iso] Arcana's Room > Kitchen "Yeah!!" Thyx cheered, high-fiving with gusto. As the two arrived into the elevator, Thyx spun in place, coming to a halt and selecting the ground floor with a single powerful dab. "Whoops, wrong one, hold on a sec."And then they waited as the elevator slowly went up to the top floor, Thyx humming along to the peaceful elevator music. With all of the waiting, Arcana might have noticed there was no floor 2 listed. Weird! There was a gentle ding as the elevator arrived at the roof, at which point Thyx selected the ground floor normally. Whirrrrrr. Ding! "Heh, alright! Let's get some grub!" Thyx said, rubbing his hands together as he moonwalked out of the elevator, by which I mean he mostly just normally walked backward but in his mind he was moonwalking. "What's on the menu, budderinos?" he asked to Bunny and Cel as the he and Arcana arrived in the kitchen, addressing them with finger guns. Cel seemed a little caught off-guard, in the middle of making another strawberry sammich with the supplies she still had out. "H-Huh? Um... I could make some more strawberry sammiches, I guess?" she answered, eyeing Arcana. Hopefully she liked strawberries?!

Arcana gasped loudly. Her eyes widened, though no one could see that because her shades were far too cool for someone to see her eyes.
"Holy fuckaloni, did you just say... strawberry? Hit me up with those jammin' snacks, and deliver my tastebuds into Cool City, my new best friendo!" Arcana put her hands on her hips and grinned happily. And then she walked over to Thyx and wrapped her arm around his shoulder....!
"My friend, are you prepared for a flavour blast of cool tongue flavour? Because I sure am." Arcana shook her hair proudly, and in the most cool way she drooled slightly as she watched Cel make delicious grub.

[Iso] Cel blinked at Arcana, brain struggling to process all of her hip slang. It seemed like that was a yes, at least...? "Um... alright then, I'll make some more!" she said, quickly getting back to work. This was weird. Did Thyx... make a friend?! Well, that was good for him, but Cel couldn't help but find the concept a little surreal. Thyx, meanwhile, gave Arcana a :thyx:. The ol' thumbs-upperoni. "Heck yeah I am! Cel's awesome! Your mind's gonna be totally blown, just wait!" Thyx ensured Arcana, seating himself at the table. He immediately took a napkin and tucked it into his shirt. "Heh, check out THIS sick trick! You put a napkin in your shirt like this, and if you drop anything it doesn't get on your clothes! Genius, right?" he explained, beaming as though this was humanity's greatest discovery. "Here you go!" Cel interrupted, delicately placing a plate of several strawberry sammiches on the table. "I didn't get your name, but... I hope you like them!"

Arcana's eyes glittered as she learned about the marvelous invention of Thyx's, and immediately did the same. She began reaching for a sammich when Cel talked to her, which prompted her to quit reaching, and grin wildly. She then struck the coolest spine-bending pose she could muster, as if she was a character in a manga full of hot pretty boys, and spoke.
"Me? Oh, the name's Arcana, you silly Celly-Welly! Don't you forget it, cuz I'm basically the coolest motherfucker you'll ever meet! Besides my totally rockin' friend here, of course. His name is Thyx, and you better remember his name too, because he's got a Cool Factor™ of 100 Motorcycles Driving Through A Metal Concert Crowd! Hey, that's a pretty good album name... nice..."
Arcana picked up one of the sammiches, and took the biggest bite she could....!
"Holy pepperoni-in-a-hot-dog-bun, this shit is kickin' my ass to the Science Fair! And that's a place I'd never go because it's for nerds, which I am most certainly not!" Arcana exclaimed, grinning wildly and giving Cel a big ol' Thumbs Up.
She continued consuming the sammich, and after finishing one, she continued eating more, though being careful to leave at least one or two for Thyx. How thoughtful...! She did make a mess of the table, despite the napkin tucked in her top.
"This was such a great idea, my dude! These sandwiches are ballin' slices of kick-ass, and fill me full of powerful food energy so we can go back to doing bodaciously cool things together! I don't know what that'll be, but I do know it's going to be a hellacious Ride of the Penguins!"

[Iso] "C...Celly-Welly...?"Cel yelped as Arcana starting shouting, her brain desperately trying to catch up to her energy level. "A-Ah, yes, I know Thyx quite well, actually, so no worries there...!" she informed Arcana, eliciting a nod from Thyx. "Heh, that's right, Cel and I go way back! We're OGs for life!" Thyx confirmed, not really knowing what "OG" meant. "B-But, anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the food!" Cel continued, trying to start cleaning up the table while the other two continued talking. "Hmm... y'know, that raises a good point! What SHOULD we do today? It's so easy to make anything metal that it's hard to decide what awesome activity gets to be worthy of our coolness today!" Thyx spoke up. i just realized bunny's avatar is still here. where is he. he's sitting quietly at the table i guess? :3

Meanwhile, not too far away, just outside Castle Oress. . .
Isaac Reuben was trying to get his dad's dumb scouter on. This was the place he received it, all those years ago.
He broke like, two of them, before Cel told him he wasn't getting another one if he broke the third.
This was very fortunate. There were three members of the family, after all, and they had someone that could repair the broken ones.
The boy had spent a few nights tinkering with it, but if his father recalled correctly, he could track Oress with this thing.
Given the fact his dad must've been around eleven at the time, though, he probably wasn't completely listening. He just wanted a free scouter.
The Oress wasn't his target, today, though. This heist was for e legendary strawberry treat from Cel. A sandwich of some sort, but his father said it was more like a pastry.
Booting the scouter online, he saw two outlines. All he had to do was get in, avoid the two Holders inside, steal a sandwich from the kitchen, get out.
Easier said than done. Deep breath.
Slowly, he crept through the front door. His attire probably stuck out like a sore thumb, but at least he was quiet.
Even worse, he quickly realized the two Oress Holders weren't the only two in the building he had to avoid. . .

"I dunno, dudearino! What kinda bitchin' kinda hang outs they got in this place? They... they don't have mini-golf do they? Because everybody knows mini-golf is The Bee's Knees! If not, maybe they have a cool-ass movie theatre so we can watch classic movies like Cool Man Punch Face: The Reckoning, and Vroom Vroom I'm Running Over The President!" Arcana suggested, then proceeded to stuff more food in her mouth.
After she finished, she finally used a napkin, cleaning herself up and her spot on the table - by that I mean she swept the crumbs to the floor without a second thought. It'll be swept later, it's fine. Probably.
"Alright! What do we owe ya for that delectable lip-smackin' feast of the gods? Oh! And do you wanna join me and my bestest bud here for some super cool adventures that may or may not involve dangerous dangers and almost-certain doom? Because everyone knows that rockin' around under the threat of death and torture makes you stronger and cooler!" Arcana put one hand on her hip as she spoke, giggling and snickering. She wrapped her arm around Thyx while mentioning him, keeping her arm there as she kept going. Woah.....! "Ya see, Celly-Welly, I got an itchin', and the only thing that can scratch that itch, is doin' bitchin' cool things with equally bitchin' cool friends like you. Hell yeah."
She then gave finger guns to Bunny too, who she knew was actually the coolest one of all in the room, even though he hadn't said much. Bunny didn't need words for Arcana to understand what a cool motherfucker he was.

[Iso] Cel only became more and more confused as Arcana continued speaking, looking as though she was trying to comprehend a foreign language. What was a dudearino? Celly-Welly...? "Uhh... um...""Oh the... the sammiches are free? And... I don't like doom?" she offered, hoping she was understanding this conversation properly. "Heck yeah, there's tons to do here!" Thyx interrupting, disregarding most of the words spoken. "We've got a waterpark, we've got a theater, we've basically got anything you could ever want to party hard!" he continued with a thumbs up. Bunny, meanwhile, remained silent, as though contemplating something. Or maybe he was distracted by something...? Hard to tell... Living Room Isaac Reuben would have no trouble whatsoever getting inside, thanks to the automatic glass sliding doors being... well, automatic glass sliding doors. But a complication soon arose in that strawberry sammiches would clearly be found in the kitchen... but the scouter would indicate that Cel and Thyx were in there as well! Perhaps if he found a way to distract them he could- "SHIT! FUCK! Fucking SHIT! PISS! DICK! ASS!"Unfortunately for Isaac Reuben's innocent ears, they would soon be assaulted by pretty much every swear word in the book. The noise seemed to be coming from downstairs, in the basement, but his scouter wouldn't register any Oresses coming from down there. Castle Oress certainly had its guests now and then, but what sort of guest would end up in the basement and apparently really angry about it? Well, it wouldn't sound all that familiar to anyone in the building - with one exception - but the folks at home might have a guess!Regardless, perhaps this would provide the distraction Isaac Reuben needed! No way Cel wouldn't investigate that, despite her better judgment, and it was definitely audible from anywhere on the ground floor. Now the issue was just that the elevator and stairs could only be accessed through at least passing through the living room (well, minus the secret fridge entrance, but that would be a bit excessive,) so he'd need to hide somewhere or relocate for the moment... Like I said, though, it was visible throughout the ground floor, kitchen included. It was loud enough for Cel to hear it over Thyx and also her own confusion, causing her to yelp. "Does... does anyone hear that...?" Cel asked, hoping the answer would be no. "Yeah!" Oh. "Sounds like we've got a robber on our hands! Whaddaya say we go give 'em what for, huh? Show 'em what the Super Cool Metal Gang can do?" Thyx suggested. Bunny's ears rotated to get a better listen. He didn't move, but he did speak: "Uh-oh SpaghettiOs." :3

[Tsuki]
Perhaps it was a feeling of nostalgia, or the thought of a past love in Vitara, Tsuki had arrived at the castle. She wondered if Vitara was around still. Or if she even ever existed? She walked in through the front door, past a sneaking boy that she somehow completely missed, and into the living room, then, with the smell and sense of others in the kitchen, into the kitchen.
"The door was open, so I decided to visit. This place brings back... Memories. I was going to inquire about the authenticity of a memory of mine, but it would seem a problem has arisen?" Tsuki questioned, having seen bunny's :3 filled concern. "Ah... though in case no one here remembers me, I am Tsuki. I was... maybe? Around a while back."
Meanwhile, Xyllia woke up. She fell asleep on a couch in the living room, yeah that's it. "Ahh... I must have been tired from my long travels to get here, ara. Hm, is someone hurt, ara?" She then went to make her way to the basement to aid that which said the fuck word down below.

Isaac Reuben wasn't exactly impressed by the mysterious basement dweller's swearing technique. He could swear better than that in his sleep.
His best option, he imagined, was simply to pretend he belonged there, and make his way into the kitchen. The two Oress Holders, which he imagined were the only two 'real threats', were on the move.
As he strolled into the kitchen, he paused for a second, eyeing Bunny. He remembered how his father described Bunny. An enigma, a primal force of the universe. . . but usually, chill. Still, the energy around Bunny gave him pause. For a few moments, he stared at the embodiment of space like a deer in headlights.

Arcana was about drag Thyx along back to the elevator so they could rock out to that sweet elevator music, when the strange voice of someone who totally probably didn't belong there rang our from below. Everyone seemed startled by it! Oh no!
That included a boy in the kitchen she had never seen before. And also a girl who she had never seen before who had eaten sammiches without really asking. And someone else in the other room who she didn't know either. Arcana herself was highly suspicious of everyone, but specifically was the most suspicious of the sweary voice downstairs. And there was only one thing to do about that.
"Alright, folks! Friends! Newcomers! Weird peeps! There seems to be some weird uncool kinda shit going on downstairs... I'm so, so sorry dude - I mean, Thyx - but I guess we gotta post pone our sick date of cool hanging out times til later. For now, we are Investigators Incorporated! You two could join us if we want, but to be honest you don't look cool enough to roll with us, the Cool Squad. Anyway, we gotta go kick some ass, probably! Later, nerds!"
Arcana slid over to Bunny, and picked him up, placing him on her head like a hat. Somehow, he stayed. Then she put her hand on Cel's shoulder, and looked like she was thinking really hard about something. Cel would feel herself become utterly weightless. Then Arcana pulled her arms over her shoulders with ease, picking her legs up to wrap around her waist. She was wearing Cel like she was a backpack. She then put her hand on Thyx's head like she was caressing his cool hair. Woah. He too would feel weightless at first. But then he would also feel his body start to shift and change. Soon, he would find that he had turned into a ball. A little bit of his weight returned, and Arcana held him in her hand. She proceeded to bounce him on the ground like a basketball, and he would be surprised to find out that it didn't hurt at all! Totally metal! She then ran out of the kitchen, running past the probably very confused Tsuki and Isaac? and screamed out a tremendous battle cry.
"RAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHH! We're coming for your ass, you possibly robby and totally dangerous dirtbag!!! Fuuuuuuck yoooooooou!!!" She shouted, making her way to the basement as well, dribbling ball!Thyx along just because she could. It would probably be a really weird sight.
And unfortunately for the poor door to the basement, it had been kicked so hard in that it had managed to fly and wedge right itself into the wall behind it. O-oh.

[Iso] "W-Wait a minute--!"Before Cel could respond to Tsuki, Bunny could stare deeper into Isaac Reuben's soul, Thyx could say something embarrassing, Cel could start protesting, or really anything else whatsoever, Arcana had scooped them all up, leaving Tsuki and Isaac Reuben alone with a plate of strawberry sammiches if they chose not to follow. With that, the Castle Oress gang wound up in the basement, which was as dark and dusty as usual. There was hardly time to reflect on the atmosphere, though, considering the energy Arcana brought to the room. Which did not go unnoticed, considering the figure that narrowly avoided getting a basement door to the face. "Jesus! Piss! Fuck!" Orchid shouted, looking at the door embedded in the wall behind him. "What the fuck is wrong with you, huh?! Were you raised in a fucking barn over here?! Nice little cow teach you how to try and fucking murder people?!" he scolded, throwing his arms out as he focused on Arcana. "And what the FUCK is going on here?! What am I looking at?!" he continued, gesturing exasperatedly at Arcana's whole... ball thing. "Christ, what a fucking disaster. What a fucking entrance, huh? You know I had plans, right? There was going to be atmosphere! I had lines! And now you've gone and shat all over that so thanks, great, really appreciate it!" he ranted, turning around and taking a few steps away, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Y'know what? No. I want my goddamn entrance," he spoke up, putting a hand on his hips and bringing another to his chin. "Yeah, I can just do that, can't I...?"Cel, too intimidated to contemplate the weirdness of her current situation, stared at Orchid, eyes widening. "W... Who are you supposed to be?" she asked, gulping dryly. "Sorry, Cel, missed your chance! Don't worry, though, you won't remember the regret," Orchid responded. With a snap of his fingers-- When Arcana kicked the door open, there was no crash of it impacting the wall. There was no sound at all, the echoes of Arcana's voice fading and her mind feeling no compulsion to speak further. There was a familiarity about their place, as though they had been here just moments before, but any such thoughts were quickly swallowed up by the darkness. The group would almost feel like they were no longer there, existing as mere perspectives observing a silent room. Slowly, their eyes would adjust to what little light there was, a deep color blanketing the room. There was a figure in the middle of the room, mostly visible through the violet glow in their eyes. "How nice of you to join me," the figure said, equal parts amused and expectant. With a faint click, the lights in the room turned on, each brimming with an unnatural purple. The figure was illuminated, revealing Orchid, casually holding the door with one hand like he'd caught a friendly throw. Arcana and company would abruptly split apart, so to speak, with Cel and Bunny tumbling off of her and Thyx returning to his normal form. Thyx muttered a small "oof" and tried to recollect himself, while Cel immediately scrambled toward the stairs. "Whoa, Cel, where are you going? I haven't seen you in eons and this is how you react? Rude," Orchid continued with mirth. Without so much as a snap or wave of his hand, a barrier of purple light appeared behind the group in the stairwell, effectively blocking off their exit. Cel backed away from that, as well: she had no idea who she was dealing with, but she knew this shade of purple well enough to know that today was going to be a very bad day. "W-Who are you?!" Cel demanded, trying to hold back her trembling as she backed against a wall, slowly raising herself up. "Glad you asked!" Orchid smiled, casually discarding the door and pulling out a pair of sunglasses from thin air. While the others wouldn't have much reason to find significance in his aesthetic, Isaac Reuben had probably heard enough from his dad's experiences and Tsuki had been present for enough of Castle Oress' fiery demises to recognize who this figure must be associated with. "I'm your worst nightmare," he answered, arms spread. "...But enough about me," he said while Cel whimpered, turning his attention to the rest of the crowd. He looked them over, sort of baffled at the collection of randos in front of him. Thyx? Really? Of all Oress Holders, this was the first one he was seeing? Well, aside from Ciess, but he hadn't really seen her, so to speak. And on top of that, where the hell were the rest of them? He didn't really even detect much else in the building beyond this group, so it's not like just Cel and Thyx decided to respond. As for the others... mostly unfamiliar faces. He felt some vague recognition to mull over later, but all in all no one too mind-blowing. That was good, he supposed. Quite frankly, seeing another Black or Solana around here would just make him give up and tear the concept of existence asunder. Now he could be more in his element, more in control, less distracted by... things that no longer mattered to him. "Let's hear about you! On top of being your worst nightmare, I'm also your good pal, Orchid. I'll elaborate, but for now let's just say we'll all be spending a good, long time together. So! Let's hear some names, huh? Go around the room, give some little introductions, maybe tell the class your favorite color and what you did this summer.""Alright!" Thyx agreed, too Thyx to be concerned about anything that had happened or was happening. "My name's Thyx, and I like doing cool stuff! My favorite color is gold, and this summer I wrote a story about my Sonic character, Thyx the Edgehog! But, heh, I won't take up all the airtime here..."Orchid covered his mouth with one hand, trying really hard to not just start laughing. "God, this is a fucking trip," he said with a smirk. "Alright, good start! And maybe a little too literal, but I like it. Who's next? Don't be shy."Bunny stayed suspiciously silent for someone who was normally all over being casual in foreboding atmospheres. Cel, meanwhile, looked frozen in place, eyes darting around the room in search of an exit that wasn't suddenly blocked off.

[Tsuki]
Tsuki walked down the stairs holding a sammich that she just ate but was now no longer ate, when she saw the purple shit. And also the purple flames and other purple stuff. "... Nope" She immediately turned around and walked back up the stairs. Then turned back, and walked down and into the room proper, thusly trapping herself in as well. "Okay fine, I'm Tsuki. I doubt you'd let me just leave anyway. That's some... terrifyingly strong power I can feel from you."
Xyllia just kept watching, in both a state of being half asleep, and also what the fuck was going on?

Arcana blinked a few times. Something fishy must've just happened. But she hadn't even had a fish in her hand! Because Thyx had been a ball previously. She knew it. She thought he knew it, too. But now, he was not a ball. And she didn't remember undoing her fancy Soul Magic spell. Weird.
And now there was this jerk in front of her. This absolute fuckbag. This rude as shit motherfucker. This jackass with breakable kneecaps. He gave her some bad fuckin' vibes. He was probably far more powerful than she had previously anticipated. He was probably a threat beyond threats. The most scary person in the universe. It was a delicate situation they were in. Anything could happen. Her very actions could change whether or not they would escape alive. And so, there was only way she could properly react to such a situation...
In true Arcana fashion, she did what she did best.
Not thinking.
"Hey dick for brains, where do you come off being all scary and purple and shit? Just who the fuck are you? And why are you creepin' in this basement, huh? If you just came here to stroke your own ego you could've just booked a room and done it under the covers like everyone else. And pfft, you wanna know who I am, huh? Hah! I'd rather drink my own piss! Me and my squad don't care about you, so why don't you punch yourself in the face and drop dead, Mr. Purple Fuckboy. Then you can come back as some loser ghost, who no one will remember about, and then you can teabag your own face til you die again, you absolute kickflippin' shitfucker." Arcana took a step forward, angrily flipping the bird with both hands, smirking fearless in the face of someone who could rewrite her very existence at any time he wished. Whoopsie!
"Fuck you."
