[Does he mean the panda, or the...sentient cherries...]
Anyway. What do you think of all this, Kakyoin?

[ Monomi doesn't know much about nuclear power.
However, grinding up children to use them for such a purpose?! TRULY EVIL. ]
H-HOW DARE YOU MANIPUWATE CHILDWEN FOR SUCH A DASTARDWY PWOT?!
[ BOY IF SHE HAD HER MAGIC STICK RIGHT NOW YOU'D BE SOWWY, MISTER. ]

[Well, this was a beach. But it wasn't the beach she had landed on just a few hours prior with Jasper and that other Gem. She scowled at the water and turned back to her display.]
Hmm, maybe I crashed farther then I thou-AAAAUUUGH!!!
[Aaaaand there's the wave. Peridot gets about two seconds to notice it before she's hit in the face with a wall of water. It sends both her, and her Nosepass, flying back until the wave finally recedes, and she's face down in the sand.
She coughs and sputters, picking a stray piece of seaweed off her visor with two floating fingers.]

[pandas don't eat cherries, jotaro]
I'm not sure. I want to say this seems far too convoluted to be the work of an enemy, but...
[but ha ha death 13 sure was a thing, huh kakyoin]
It's unclear. We should be cautious for now.

[Another wave hits her this time, but with much less force. Just enough to splash her with a face full of more seaweed.
And as this happens, Peridot might be able to catch a hint of a watery, vaguely familiar-sounding laugh.]

And Hierophant Green?
[As he carefully watches both the Cherubi and the Pancham playing in the sand for any sign of a reaction at the mention of Kakyoin's Stand.]

Fine--I checked that much as soon as I got here.
[he is NOT FALLING FOR THAT TWICE]
What about Star Platinum?

What about Star Platinum?
[The ten-year-old girl noticed her a while ago, but is only now close enough to hear her distressed voice.] Ma'am, the children should be fine!
How dare I? Well, it's not so much daring as it is doing. I dared you to do nothing!
[ He's not one of those gangly youthes who runs around playing "Truthes and Dares", Monomi! ]

[The Ponyta reacts to the stranger's voice before Hans does in that she turns around and lets out a soft nicker before carefully hiding herself behind one of his legs, as if that'll be able to ensure she'll be unnoticed. Hans doesn't move at first, his shoulders tensing at the change in temperature. His breathing is slow, showing in short bursts of steam that all but confirm who's speaking to him.
Who else could it be, calling him by name?
When he finally turns his expression is hard, eyes hooded as he faces Elsa. For him, he'd seen her last just a few hours ago. It hadn't been months, but it was enough time for him to mull over how everything went wrong. And when he responds, his tone isn't friendly.]
And here I thought this place was miles from Arendelle.
[It's not even a question, not really. Just more of a bitter observation. It's clear that she's not someone he'd been expecting to see.]

Fine.
[...]
So that should settle it.
[A beat passes, following that somewhat cryptic statement, but then all of a sudden there's Star Platinum, erupting from near Jotaro's shoulder to swing a hammerpunch at the Cherubi —
Which, thanks to the Stand's unusual speed and precision, stops centimeters from connecting.
...That's one way of finding out whether the adorable little cherries can see his Stand or not.]

[ Anywhere ]
[ This isn't where she should be.
Which is odd in and of itself, because she shouldn't be anywhere but Rapture. Rapture, where she had gone in an attempt to make things right. (Nevermind that "right" meant murder, but the thing's been done and can't be undone.) And the second oddity of the day? The little bird-type creature on her shoulder. Elizabeth has to wonder if some aspect of their personality is taken into account when they receive this... Pokémon. She doesn't exactly have to wonder how a psychic bird fits in with her personality.
Seems like she can't escape the bird motif anywhere.
Well. Nothing to do but to go ahead, right? Elizabeth's no stranger to physical exertion, but this feels different somehow. There's no rush, no desperation in each of her steps.
And there's no one at her side, other than her Natu perched on her shoulder. Luckily, the blood on her face has been wiped clean, but she wishes she could say so for her clothes. They're still ripped and dirty and bloody.
At least she'd gotten out of there--somehow--before the Big Daddy had turned on her.
It's not long before she finds someone else, and she clears her throat. ]
Excuse me. I assume you're as lost and confused as I am?

[Jimmy might not be the one you wanted to ask to battle, Perry; particularly not when he's got a Manectric walking beside him that is practically clearing his waist, staring down quietly at the small duck in front of him.
Meanwhile, Jimmy's used to this by now. A year of being here has taught him that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, and whatnot. So he's just been enjoying interacting with all the newcomers, if only for a little while.
Case in point.]
Hey there! I'll battle you, if you want!

[ He looks shifty enough to send off warning bells and he's talking about harming children, which CLEARLY MEANS he's an evil villain! ]
You'll pay for your cwimes!
[ Which may or may not have happened? WHATEVER. DETAILS.
And then her magic stick is in her hands and. Huh. How did that happen? WELL. That doesn't matter! Hope he's prepared for the rabbit woman to run in circles around him, because that's happening granted he's not quick enough to escape. ]

[Honeyed Soul had just about every sweet and savory treat you could imagine. That is why Beezy is there, along with his Munchlax, both of them eyeing the rows of cakes, and sweet bread, and chocolate.
Someone should probably stop them before they eat the entire building. They'll try it.]
[The routes]
[This world was interesting to Beezy... at least until he got bored with it. Sure, there was one sun instead of three, and the sky itself was blue, and there was no lava oceans or sandworms.
Weird. But still pretty cool!
It was perfect weather for a nap, too. So, it's likely that you'll see Beezy along one of the routes, curled up against a tree, snoring loud enough to wake the local Pokemon.]

Haaaa?!
[ Oh. Oh, small sweet child, bless your heart. Monomi sniffles and wipes her eyes, peering at her through her fingers. Not having soft, pink, adorable paws is weird. ]
B-but if I'm not there to pwotect them, how will they survive that evil Monokuma--?! It's... it's too tewwible!

[Aside from the drop in temperature, nothing else bad happens, thankfully. Elsa's fists are clenched so tight she's sure her nails are drawing blood, and her stomach is twisting itself into tight knots. But she keeps her ice in check.
Not because she isn't scared. Oh no, she definitely is. But because she doesn't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing just how scared she is. That desire definitely overrides any and all of the fear coursing through her.
It also helps that she feels a warm softness rubbing against her leg, and a low, threatening growl coming from Fenrir - her Growlithe - who has more or less plastered himself to her side.]
This place is miles from Arendelle. Miles away from any of the known lands, as far as I can tell.

While you're here everything in your home world stays just the same! When you get back it will be like you never left!
[Ah. It's this place again.
He's pretty sure he remembers this place, much in the way that one tends to remember a dream an hour or so after you've already woken up and gotten started on your day — as something distant and faraway, something that felt vivid and clear at the time and in the immediate aftermath, but gradually began to run into faded uncertainty at the edges like a watercolor left out in the rain.
...Hopefully Ax isn't getting himself into trouble again. The woods aren't really a good place for a weird-looking blue horse with stalk eyes and a scythe-blade tail — not because someone is likely to scream alien so much as some ten-year-old will probably get inspired and try to catch him instead. Again.
That said, he somehow knows this is all temporary, and that makes it...refreshing. The urgency of being away from home is alleviated with the knowledge that he'll be back in an instant anyway. And the background music gets a little old after awhile, but it's definitely better than the sound of war and death and screaming.
He wanted, once, to be an average kid again. For all of it to be someone else's problem, even just for a little while.
There's no telling how long this respite is going to last, so he might as well make the best of it.]
Hey, uh, excuse me. I don't suppose you know where I can catch a Pikachu around here, do you?
[LOOK THIS IS POKEMON WORLD AND MARCO WOULD HAVE A FIT, THAT IS AS GOOD A REASON AS ANY TO CATCH A PIKACHU]

[...and a Cherrim about to burst into tears because WHY THIS, FRIEND]
[And this is a teenager that has just seen death about to punch him in the shoulder.]

[OHHHHH HELL YOU IN TROUBLE NOW, CHERRIES. How quickly that punch turns into snatching the little Cherubi up off Kakyoin's shoulder by the stem, dangling it at arm's length between two meaty fingers.]
It saw Star Platinum.
[this is gonna get super awkward super fast if it turns out that everybody can see stands today, hoo boy]
Whatever it is, it's probably responsible for bringing us here in the first place.

[Another one of THESE happening while he's on the job. He's just gonna ignore the dinosaurs, space aliens, and glittering dimensional rifts being torn into the very fabric of spacetime around him as he skulks down the alleyway in his Rocket uniform complete with dinky little eye mask and hat. The wrecker is glad to be back at full power and it makes him ache to know that it won't last.]
[At least it'll make stealing Pokemon easier?]

What the-[And then another wave. When that's over and done with, she's frantically wiping and picking at the seaweed on her face. Ugh, Earth germs.
And then she hears it. That voice. Well, a voice. One that sounds vaguely familiar.
Nope. She can't recall.]
