Main Event Calamitous Reprise

Peter Parker-MCU

" Oh, that's good to know. What monster parts would I need to make the Special Elixir?" He asked, curiously. He tilted his head at the other and waited to see if Kassidy could talk to the girl.

Peter Parker- Amazing

Peter took the pumpkin from Olkin and just raised a confused eyebrow. He wasn't sure Olkin understand what on the house meant. " Wait, who or what's Brook?" He asked. Had the man literally made him pay to do him a favor?

@Yun Lee @Olkin's Pumpkin Patch​

Dell shrugged. "Anything, really. All monster parts wotk in elixirs."

---

"Brook! You know, that goofy skeleton with all that hair? Who sang and got slapped by Lasli when he asked to see her panties? That bonus pumpkin's for him!"

@Lucky​

Peter Parker- MCU

" Does anyone have any monster parts on them? I tried to pick some up, but someone else in my group got them first and I didn't want to argue with them."

@Crow @Yun Lee @Cooking Pot

"Huh, that's odd, usually I'd be able to talk to the fairies, perhaps the fairies of these realms use a language different from the ones back home."

Kokkoro continues on, still talking to Peter's Fairy.

"It's a shame, really, would be nice to know more about you before we part ways by obligation, but I suppose we will part with neither of us knowing anything about each other."

In response to Peter requesting for some Monster Parts, Kokkoro took out the pieces of would show Peter very familiar-looking horns and teeth. It seems that they were the very ones he had failed to claim dibs on!

"Why do I have a feeling that I know this someone else?" Kokkoro simply smiles while saying this.​

@Yun Lee @Lucky​

 

[Takumi]

When Peter would basically thank him for not leaving him Azel gave the young man a slight smile.

"It wouldn't be right to leave a group memeber behind. Besides, you kind of remind me of my younger siblings." he responded.

@Lucky

Celica became calm. She swung her sword again in attempt to hit the ninja and defeat her.

At the question of Mother Mila, Celica smiled. “Yes, I am Celica, priestess of Mila.” she said calmly and happily.

@Yun Lee @Atomic Knight @Siege @Space_Candy

Selesia drew her sword and slashed it in a swift motion. Of course she could fight, it had been an earlier lapse in judgment that she didn’t. This seemed to be a similar situation as to the one with Sota.

“I am Selesia Upitiria, I fight the Avalon Brigade and defend my kingdom with Charon.”

Silque clasped her hands together and smiled. "I am Silque, I am also a Priestess of Mila." Silque greeted.

------

With the groups finally meeting up, and being able to go seperate ways Silque followed Teruteru to the cooking pot along with Azel. Standing more to the back, Azel simply placed his hands on his hips with a raised brow. Cooking...sure was quick here.

"Ultimate Despair?" Kaito was confused, but then turned his focus to Prime. "What the Hell should Dell apologize to you for?! You're the one attacking others in this group! You better-"

"I'm sorry."

Kaito stopped midsentence, looking at Dell with his mouth hanging open. "You...what are you-"

"I'm sorry, Superman. Really." Dell picked up a slice of fruitcake and walked up to Prime. "I didn't mean to insult you, I want to get you and everybody else home, too. But we gotta work together in order to do that, not attack each other, yeah?" He extended the plate to Prime. "Here. Consider this a peace offering."

"...what the Hell just happened...?"

"That little orb of yours is a fairy, Peter. Use it with monster parts to make a special elixir."

@Josh @Lucky @Otto @Ver @CrunchyCHEEZIT @Crow @Atomic Knight @Jeremi @Gummi Bunnies @Donder172 @Takumi @CookingCrew​

As Superman made a scene, Azel watched like a hawk. Assessing the situation, he was ready to intervene and stop the deranged sounding male if any serious infighting went on.

"There's quite a few children here among most of us here, it'd be best not to try and fight in such a crowded place." he spoke up. He didn't know how many here were actual children in their group, but there were at least two among less experienced fighters and generally short people. It wouldn't be good to fight amongst themselves, he had better things to get involved in than petty fighting.

@CookingCrew

 

[Donder172]

"Yeah, what he said." Dell stood beside Darius, crossing his arms. "We can't get home if you're all going to fight like children."

Kaito sputtered. "B-But he-"

"That was between him and Thor, Kaito. And Thor doesn't seem bothered. You shouldn't be, either." Sighing, Dell extended his hands. "Here, why not give me that meat and rice, huh?"

Kaito sighed, still on edge, but relented.

"Meaty Rice Balls, anyone?"

@CookingCrew​

"They have a point." 47 reinforced before taking a meaty rice ball. "Thank you." He said before eating it.

"That's right! Keep walking, loser! Your hair is stupide….just like you!"

Shouting at Thor, Clark was caught of by Darius's rebuke.​

"The hell do you think you are?! Do you know who I am?"

Like a mad man, Clark grabbed Darius be the collar, lifting him of his feet slightly as he starred the man in the eyes. Darius would match eyes with Clark. Hurt, anger, pain and other deep coded feelings would be as Clark put him back on the ground. He was stopped in his track. He turned to Dell. Even more anger.

"I am not a child! You're the child! All of you are! You don't know who I am, do you?"

As much as the young man proclaimed he was no child, he was acting like one. However, he clearly wasn't stable. Ripping of his torn shirt, the symbol carved on his chest was clear.




You see this? Don't you morons know what this symbol means? What I am?"

Taking step back, he made his message clear.

"I am truth. I am justice."

Pausing, he was for the first time truly calm.

"I'm Superman. And I want out of here and want my powers back. I want a lot of things, but first....."

Turning back to Dell, he glared.

" .....I want an apology right now from you. I really hate bullies."
@Atomic Knight @Alex Azure @Lucky @Takumi @Space_Candy @Donder172 @Jeremi @CrunchyCHEEZIT @Gummi Bunnies @York @Yun Lee @otto​

47 was no psychologist, but it was obvious the man was not mentallity healthy. Regardless, his demands were absurd, but not something for 47 to intervene in. Darius seemed to be a capable man, but 47 was ready to intervene should the situation deem nessecary.

 

[Siege]

By this time, both Shallot and Akuma had gone to the High Spirits Produce area.

@Yun Lee

 

[Josh]

"You see this? Don't you morons know what this symbol means? What I am?"

"I really don't."

"I am truth. I am justice. I'm Superman."

"Oh, is that so? Sounds impressive! First, a super chef, now a super man. Isn't this an impressive gang?"

" .....I want an apology right now from you. I really hate bullies."

"Alright, well, let's--"

But then Clark didn't get an apology. Instead, Darius and Kokkoro tried(?) in their own way to diffuse the situation, but the young swordsman figured he ought to pitch in with his two cents as well. Never hurt to give things a different approach, hmm? After all, when it came to Luke, sometimes the best way to reason with someone was to placate them first, even if it was less than ideal.

Stepping in front of Kokkoro and Darius, standing between them and the so-called Superman, Guy faced the taller man, clearing his throat before speaking.

"Now, now. Let's not be so hasty. This is all just an awful misunderstanding, but we're all mature people here, and it would be great if we could treat each other with such respect, hmm? Especially since we have this lovely opportunity to get to know each other, and realize just what a big deal you really are! So let's put this nastiness behind us, forgive each other, and have a laugh over a meal. What do you say, Mister... Superman?" Guy inquired to the man, balancing plates of cake, honeyed apples, and meat rice balls in his hands.

This really was like dealing with Luke all over again. But escalated to a thousand.

@Yun Lee @Josh @Otto @Crow @Atomic Knight @Alex Azure @CrunchyCHEEZIT @Space_Candy @York @Donder172 @Jeremi @Gummi Bunnies @FoodPlace​

Starring a hole into guy, Clark seem to gaze at the man for a while. Something was going on up stairs, but he just seemed menacing.

"Thank You. I don't want the cake, you can have it."

Maybe that wasn't the response Guy was expecting, but Clark nodded. Taking the plate, he paused, glaring at the morons around him. Standing up, he started walking to a small group of trees. As Clark moved away, motioned to Guy.

"I'm You coming with me or not? If I stay here, I'm gonna get someone's blood on my food."

@yun lee @Lucky @Otto @Ver @CrunchyCHEEZIT @Crow @Atomic Knight @Jeremi @Gummi Bunnies @Donder172 @Takumi ​

 

[Hida Tomonatsu]

Celica nodded. “Thank you.” she turned to the shrine. “It reminds me of the shrines back home. All it needs is some care.” she said calmly and quietly.

Selesia would look back at Asher and Impa. She walked over. “We need to find out what brought us here, right?” she said. It sounded like she had familiarity in this department

Jin cocked a brow as Celica spoke, confused by her first statement, "Why thank me, when my words and blade have done nothing for you?"
​

"I shall take some for Master and his newfound friends," Kokkoro says as she takes a few slices, "I will be back very shortly."

---

"Master, here's some cake. Do share them with your friends if need be while waiting for your full course meal," Kokkoro says as she appears beside Yuuki, "well, I will have to continue cooking, as such, I will see you later. I hope you appreciate our combined efforts."

She leaves night immediately.

"..."

Yuuki, upon seeing Nogi Wakaba, decides to offer her a slice of the fruit cake. He looks around, wondering where the others are, an expression of confusion present.

He peers over the goddess statue to see Jin with someone else he didn't seem to know. He seems hestitant to approach them.

@Kaykay @Lucky

@Minerva @Hida Tomonatsu

---

"Hello all, I have returned as soon as-"

Seeing the full scene of Superboy Prime & Thor ready to duke it out, Kokkoro says, "please stop. I wish to continue cooking in peace and do not wish to use force on anyone here, unless neccessary, of course."

Looking at Guy for a while, she adds, "a message through the stomach should help."

Kokkoro looked at the honeyed apples.

"How lovely. By the way..."

Kokkoro took out some slime fragments from the previously defeated slimes.

"... do you know any dishes that can be made with these?"

@Josh @Space_Candy @CrunchyCHEEZIT @York @Crow @Atomic Knight @Alex Azure @Ver @Yun Lee @CookingCrew​

Before he could receive a reply to his question that would clear up the priestess's misplaced gratitude, the ronin noticed something out of the corner his eye. The mute young man who had traveled with them, Yasu as Jin had taken to calling him, was watching from afar, fidgeting in place. For a moment, he wondered why he was doing so, worried it might be an attack... before noticing how nervous the boy seemed, unlike any assassin he had faced.

So he was simply shy or unsure of himself; sad, but correctable. Raising a hand and using the fingers to beckon him over with a nod, he made an attempt to give the boy the chance he needed to step in and speak if he wished.

The fairy wouldn't respond to Kokkoro. "Fairies can't really talk," Dell said with a chuckle, returning to his seat by the fire now that the Superboy fiasco was dealt with. "If you really wanna talk to one, you wanna visit the Fairy Fountain in the forest up on those cliffs."

"........." After a brief period of silence, Kaito got up from his seat and began heading towards the Shuteye Inn, taking his serving of riceballs with him.

@Crow @Lucky @Ver @Josh @York @Donder172 @Atomic Knight @Gummi Bunnies @CrunchyCHEEZIT @Takumi @CookingCrew

"Why, I saw him-"

"Olkin!" An old woman's voice rang out. "I need your help setting up these futons for our guests!"

"Coming, dear!" Olkin gave Peter an apologetic shrug and rushed off. Oh, well...

@Lucky

---

High Spirits Produce was a small shop with limited wares, but it was charming enough that that was okay. The old woman running the place smiled at the two. "Welcome! What can I do for you nice young men?"

@Siege​

 

[Jeremi]

Darius
@Atomic Knight @Alex Azure @Lucky @Takumi @Space_Candy @Donder172 @Jeremi @CrunchyCHEEZIT @Gummi Bunnies @York @Yun Lee @Josh @CookingPot​

It took a lot of willpower not to respond too violently toward Clark's sudden and physical response. Soon after his collar was grabbed, Darius shoved the lunatic away. By now, he seethed with rage and was about ready to snap. This man really was acting like a child. "Never heard of you," he scoffed, "and this 'truth' and 'justice' you speak of is all nonsense. Calling yourself 'Superman'? You're delusional. Physical strength means nothing if your mind is glass. The only apologies that will be given is from you. We are fighting a war here, and right now we don't need anything more slowing us down."

Darius, too, had disagreed with the decision to camp out, but hadn't contested it since there was nothing that could be done about it.

"If you want to return home, then keep your mouth shut and don't cause anymore trouble-- I'm on my last straw here."​

At the sound of war Fred's face scrunched up thinking back to the time he was a soldier in the war against the tree people. "I'm not signing up for any wars," Came his reply. "We're here to get home to our families..." He faltered for a moment. "But I figure that's going to end up being a lot of fighting, so maybe we shouldn't fight against ourselves?" It was more a question then an answer.

Linkle too chimed in between bites from the cake that Teruteru had made. "Yeah fighting with each other is totally pointless guys! When that happens you're just making it easier for the villains! That's why we stick together and kick butt!"

"Fufu. I am unsure if that is friend or foe, Master Guy, but it seems that he is friend to you. It would be a good idea to spend a bit of time with him.

That being said, I think we should all take a break from the stoves for now. A bit of outdoors should soothe us all."

Kokkoro stretches as she moves away from the fires.

"I will take note of that," Kokkoro replies to Dell, "but before that, I will need to do something."

Kokkoro grabs trays with the various foods, preparing to head out.

"I will now deliver these food items to others. I might need a bit of assistance, there is plenty of food to give to plenty of people, after all. Bring the food to your friends, and let their friends pass it on."

Kokkoro prepares to head out and find Yuuki at the Goddess statue, with food in hand.

@Josh @Lucky @Donder172 @Ver @York @Gummi Bunnies @etcetcetc @CookingCrew

---

Yuuki proceeded to approach both Jin & Celica as he waves at them and offers them the a slice of the cake each. Afterwards, he looks up, pondering about the statue before him. He stared up at it in awe despite not knowing anything about it, but he knew very well it was important in some form or way.

"..."

@Hida Tomonatsu @Minerva @Yun Lee @GoddessStatue​

 

[Ver]

Guy maintained his intent gaze toward Clark. Though Guy's gaze weren't quite as intimidating as Clark's own, maintaining a mask of politeness and civility, there was certainly something determined fierce in his eyes. Like a look of burning resolve behind the pleasantry of mild personalities. Such was Guy Cecil.

When prompted to follow around Clark, bolstered by Kokkoro reinforcing the idea, the blonde could only let out a lightly exasperated sigh, scratching the back of his head.

"Ah... Perhaps you're right, Kokkoro. I'll... keep that in mind."

With Clark rejecting the offer of food, Guy simply decided to bag it for now, stashing it in his bag for later, having already had his fill, even if his actual eating time was short-lived.

"Yes, that would be quite... problematic, wouldn't it? Let's hope things don't come to that," Guy said to Clark, resting his hands on his hips, "Where are you going though? Perhaps it'd be best if we socialized with the other people in this merry party, hmm? The inn, the goddess statue, one of the neighboring houses? So many to choose from, wouldn't you think?"

@Josh @Crow @Atomic Knight @Yun Lee @Others​

 

[Kaykay]

Wakaba had pondered where exactly to go in the village, and why a young girl was calling a man master in this day and age, when said man suddenly approached her with cake. She was surprised at first, but shook it off and spoke after a brief pause.

"H-huh? Oh, thank you..." she trailed off at the end, not being able to recall his name. "...for the cake." So instead she just took the offered slice with a slightly annoyed expression. Though, it was more meant for herself.

Noticing he seemed to be peering over at Jin and some woman she hadn't been acquainted with just yet, she once again fell into thought. She had never been good at approaching people herself in the past, but in more recent times she was more comfortable with it. Or at least, she liked to think so. But before she could think of any advice or help to give Yuuki, Jin had already beckoned him over. Once again, she was overthinking things, and things happened while she was busy thinking.

Hopefully this wasn't going to become a pattern.

Sighing and scratching her head, Wakaba decided to follow him towards Jin and Celica as well. She stared at the goddess statue for a little while. She didn't see much from gods other than the Shinju. Deciding she'd stared for long enough, she waved to the two who were already there with a light smile.

"Hello again, Jin-san. And...?"

All these names were going to be the death of her.

@Hida Tomonatsu @Minerva @Yun Lee @GoddessStatue​

To say that Jin was a little uncertain about the slice of cake would be an understatement. From what he had seen, it had been prepared by another member of the ever-increasing caravan of wanderers and vagabonds who had been brought here. Even if it had been fixed by one of the village people, he would have been leery of the dish, and without having a village elder looming over head to keep them in line, he couldn't help but feel uncertain about eating it...

Until a low, pained growl escaped his stomach, reminding of his hunger from the road and making him relent. With a sigh, he took the offered plate and eyed the strange spearing device the others were using similar copies of to eat the cake, watching how they did so. Finally, after a little fumbling to mimic the others, he managed to cut off off a piece and pop it into his mouth, savoring the natural, delicious taste of the dessert. It was... incredible, to say the least of it. However, his face remained stone-cut as he chewed and swallowed, nodding with a hum to Yuuki afterwards, "Thank you, my friend."

"Wakaba-san, this is Celica-san, a priestess where she comes from. Celica-san, this is Wakaba-san," While the ronin was more adept at introducing individuals by letter to each other, he could make a show of it in person as well. It almost certainly came off as culturally abrupt and insincere with how quickly it was done with, but he was always one to quickly dispense with formalities such as this in favor of business. Sadly, given that Yuuki had not spoken yet still, he simply assumed that they knew him already and allowed himself to focus upon the task he was going to follow through on, "In any case, I have business to take care. If you all will excuse me."

Thus with a polite bow of his head to each of them, the samurai walked away, heading to the general store. It was time to unload the stones and monster parts he had collected, and if the night was still young... A flower will certainly enter into full bloom if his luck was good.

Reimu had been taking a nap in the inn, it took her a while to get herself together. Placing her bow and arrows on the bed, Reimu took her windcleaver and went out of the inn. In the village, Reimu was looking through the stores, but nothing got her interest, and the large group that had crowded around Superman? She didn’t want to get in such frisky business, Reimu loved a fight every once in a while, but in such a place? She wasn’t stupid.

Taking a peaceful stroll around the village, The shrine maiden stopped at the goddess statue, and stared at it intensely.
“Strange statue, if it’s what I think it is, it’s a goddess statue, right?. Where I come from there is many gods...I’m nearly certain this one’s real, perhaps.”
Of course, this was based off of her experience, where most gods were real, and that she could meet them. Of course, this was Hyrule, not Gensokyo.

“Strange statue, if it’s what I think it is, it’s a goddess statue, right?. Where I come from there is many gods...I’m nearly certain this one’s real, perhaps.”
Of course, this was based off of her experience, where most gods were real, and that she could meet them. Of course, this was Hyrule, not Gensokyo.

As Kokkoro walked on, she would meet Jin on the way.

"Thank you."

That was all she said to him as they crossed each other's paths - no pauses in walking from her.

She soon came near the statue, where she saw Yuuki with a few others.

"It seems that I am interrupting something, Master. And hello again, Lady Reimu, enjoying yourself?"

"!!!"

Once again, Yuuki spoke not a word as he was mildly astonished by Kokkoro's appearance - as well as the trays of food she carried.

"The cake was just appetizer. I brought the full course."

There it was - Energized Honey Apples & Meaty Rice Balls - more than enough. Placing the trays on the floor, she gestures towards them.

"Dig in, everyone. It'll turn cold eventually."

Kokkoro notes what Yuuki, Wakaba & Reimu were looking at.

"A goddess statue, but what does she embody? It's interesting to learn about what different kinds of cultures worship, now isn't it? Fufufu..."

She turns to look at Wakaba, Celica & Reimu.

"It was rude of me to not introduce myself. I see that you have been acquainted with my Master, Yuuki. I am Kokkoro, but one of you already knew that. How may I address you?"

His eyes only flickered to the girl for a moment, his expression frozen in a stoic glimmer. Why she had thanked him, he was not certain; why anyone was thanking him today seemed rather strange. However, he did not question it. She had her way to go, he had his, and he did not aim to slow down for anyone else. Instead, he simply hid his head once more under his straw hat as he walked, approaching the general store without a moment to spare.

"Of course, come in!" Lyn would find the small house had three futons set up for their guests. "How have you been, dear?"

Lyn took the liberty to take a seat at one of the Futons and relaxed a moment before answering her question. "I've been better... Just straight up vanishing and being placed in another place that I know nothing about was certainly quite strange... I was in the middle of celebrating my friend's new role as ruler of a city called Ostia and then I just... vanished."

“Oh, I know that voice. Who’s the master then?”
Reimu turned around, and it was hard to tell if she was annoyed, spacing out, or had no reaction.
“How come I keep seeing you, Kokkoro? Yeah. I’ve met Taoists, Buddhists, and a couple of Shinto Gods, like the Moruya Shrine ones. Does this god exist, or is it based on blind faith? Thoses gods that leave their believers hanging are really quite rude, like my own god, who might not even exist.”
Reimu sighed and looked curiously over at the food, before taking an energised honey apple and smiling.
“Uh...Thanks, I guess, for the food. I’ve had rice balls, but it’s not common I’ve eaten honey apples, in fact, never at all. So where did you get these? You said appetisers before.”

"What can I say, Lady Reimu? I get around," Kokkoro responds, "only the ones who worship them know the answer. I've only ever seen the goddess that my village worships, Ames, in my dreams and statues. She is the one who guides our people, and she has chosen me to guide Master. Without her, I probably wouldn't be going around Astrum, doing..."

A lot.

"... a lot."

Yuuki watches, eating the meaty rice balls and listening to the conversation about. He glances at Reimu for a bit, seeming to nod before returning to his regular activity.

"Look at you, Master, eating messily like Pecorine," Kokkoro laughs for a bit as she picks some rice off Yuuki's mouth with her fingers.

Turning back to Reimu, she says, "I got the food from Impa's, right over there. We were busy cooking up a storm in the kitchen with the ingredients we had. If only there was use for the Octorok tentacle I acquired earlier."

The fairy wouldn't respond to Kokkoro. "Fairies can't really talk," Dell said with a chuckle, returning to his seat by the fire now that the Superboy fiasco was dealt with. "If you really wanna talk to one, you wanna visit the Fairy Fountain in the forest up on those cliffs."

"........." After a brief period of silence, Kaito got up from his seat and began heading towards the Shuteye Inn, taking his serving of riceballs with him.

"Why, I saw him-"

"Olkin!" An old woman's voice rang out. "I need your help setting up these futons for our guests!"

"Coming, dear!" Olkin gave Peter an apologetic shrug and rushed off. Oh, well...

High Spirits Produce was a small shop with limited wares, but it was charming enough that that was okay. The old woman running the place smiled at the two. "Welcome! What can I do for you nice young men?"

@Siege​

"We're just browsing." Shallot told the lady as Akuma did just that, browse the shop.

Wakaba nodded as Jin introduced her to Celica before waving him off as he moved on. With the group gathered by the statue growing ever larger, she decided it was as good a time as ever to introduce herself. She cleared her throat and then straightened her back before starting to speak.

"My name is Wakaba Nogi. Nice to meet you Celica-san, Reimu-san, Kokkoro-san, Yuuki-san. I guess if you don't mind, I'll take one of both the apple and riceball."

She started eating both of them, watching the others as she did. She still hadn't figured out why Kokkoro called Yuuki master, but perhaps that was none of her business. They seemed to get along well enough. At the mention of the kitchen she looked in the direction of Impa's place, a slightly concerned expression settling on her face. Were they going to be okay cooking for this many people?
