Main Event Right Hand of the Magic God

[Ver]

"Ah, sorry. Didn't think I'd be getting allergies here of all places," Touma said to Jotaro, brushing his nose slightly with his index finger. That really was strange, but it must have been nothing.

"Why don't you ask the man himself, Mr. Kujo?" Ollerus responded to the towering man in white, gesturing toward Fiamma of the Right, who was still in great concentration (even if, aside from his glowing hand and focused expression, it didn't look like he was doing much).

Fiamma himself, not seeming to break concentration, only spoke curtly. "A watched pot never boils, Mr. Jotaro," he said. Might have he been less focused, he might have added more snark or something sort-of-witty, but not at this moment.

"Agh, let's see..." As people came to Doppo with their own little inquiries, he could only take a breath and scratch the back of his head, collecting himself and thinking through what to say to each of them. His first target was Russia.

...

He did not want to talk to Russia any further.

Now there was Schala.

"There's not quite a lot of time for dedicated training or anything like that. You'll just have to make do with what you have and what you can do. Your entire career history with the Coalition has been leading up to this, after all, and perhaps even before..." He said to the blue-haired girl.

"... No pressure."

As for Macy, he furrowed his brow at her request for a non-lethal weapon. The ponytailed man didn't fancy himself a cool killer or anything like that, but well... If people wanted to stick to their principles at a time like this, he could only hope it wouldn't come back to bite them in the ass when judgment comes.

Gesturing toward the selection again (his arm was starting to get tired), he produced his response to Macy. "Use our weapons as you'd like. They can be as dangerous or not as you'd like. You don't have to ask me for anything, it's not a shop. You're free to look through and grab whatever interests you."

​

Luckily for Phil, Mason's attention was drawn away from his acquaintance from a Murder Game of the past. "I've been alright. Ups and downs. Got myself involved in another event, where I met Ben. Managed to bring my sister back from the dead. Business as usual." Mason spoke quickly and dismissively. He wasn't the only person to consider the end of the world as a lackluster event, due to the regularity he experienced danger.

He didn't wish to start an argument with Phil. Rather, he wished to end an argument already in progress. The experience of Civil War led him to dislike engaging in pointless squabbles, (not that it kept him from accidentally starting a few). He addressed the three women who were there at the buffet table. While he spoke, he absentmindedly filled a plate full of salty snacks, such as pretzels and chips, or whatever was available at the table.

"If I can interrupt, now's not really the time to argue like this. I've seen where discussions like this go from here. In a time of chaos, the worst thing we can do is be divided. Miss Kujo, we're very glad to have you help out. Once we're done here, then we can get you back home where you belong. And you, little ma'am," Mason now turned to Leivinia, "should probably try to behave. I don't doubt that you probably pack a punch, and you wouldn't be the first grade schooler I've seen capable of fighting, but you're still a child. Maybe you can try making friends instead of enemies? We will need to fight side by side."

@Jeremi @Kaykay @Crow @Cromartous @Lucky @FoodCourtBuffetTable

Leivinia didn't particularly react to Mason's scolding at first, simply taking another bite of her food as he went on and on.

"...Sorry, did you miss the part where they both just agreed to stick with us? We don't need to be friends. We only need to be allies. If we have the same goal and agree to both work towards it, it logically follows that we will fight side by side. But that aside," she raised a finger and pointed it at Mason. "It'd really be more convenient if you didn't treat me as a child. For my personal pride, if nothing else."
​

"Mason, something gives me a really bad feeling about how you're saying her last name," Ben whispers to Mason. He too, decides to disperse the argument, and to return everything to normal. He could feel mild tension.

"Heeey girls," Ben addresses the three girls before him - Leivinia & the two Stand Users, "the food's pretty great, huh? This place has some pretty hearty beef lasagne. I can't help but notice that we haven't introduced ourselves to one another. I'm Ben, Ben Tennyson. What're your names?"

@Jeremi @Kaykay @Crow @Alex Azure @Cromartous @Lucky @FoodCourtBuffetTable

"Great is an exaggeration, but it is passable. I can't say I've yet tried that though," she wiped her mouth, having finished the food she'd gotten for now. "You can call me Leivinia Birdway." ​

"Good to meet you, Leivinia.

I guess..."

"If our time here is limited, then I better deliver the goods to Ben, pronto," Max adds, then turns to Schala and others, "you all look like you could use some grub. I wish I had the time to show you all some of my cooking, but this place must have some pretty great food you can't miss!"

​

Macy finished up her plate of food and placed the dirty dish wherever it was proper to do so. "Thank you for the directions, Cordelia. I'll leave you with your new friend. If there's still time, I'll try to say hi again. Let's hope I can find something I can use." With that, Macy walked cheerfully towards the Armory.

@Minerva @Hahli Nuva
​

Macy quietly entered the armory and was a little overwhelmed by the large number of people and weapons available. It appeared that the blonde, bespectacled man was the one in charge. He claimed that they were free to peruse, and perhaps that applied to her as well. She walked up and down the armory, examining each of the weapons available. However, she couldn't easily find something that she liked. Firearms were much too hostile, and she didn't know the first thing about them. That was Mason's area of expertise, as were swords. Swords seemed a bit sharp, and more deadly than she wanted to be. Despite being a piece of science fiction herself, the technology closer to sci-fi was beyond her scope of understanding. She barely understood how her own body worked.

Magic weapons, however, piqued her interest. She could feel the magical aura radiating from them. A childish part of her always wanted to use magic. With her own powers of healing and making barriers, a magic weapon would match well with her magical support.

"Excuse me, sir," she asked Doppo, "This may sound silly, but do you have any elemental weapons that aren't lethal? I understand we have some kinda big fight ahead of us, but I'm more of a healer than a fighter."

Jolyne looked at Mason like he had stepped in dog shit. "First of all, it's Cujoh, get it right, second of all-" But Leivina spoke up first which garnered a supportive nod from Jolyne. "We're here and doing this. If some arguing is going to make you clutch your pearls then maybe this is the wrong place for you?"

"Mason, something gives me a really bad feeling about how you're saying her last name," Ben whispers to Mason. He too, decides to disperse the argument, and to return everything to normal. He could feel mild tension.

"I don't know a Lindel directly, but I think I heard the name twice, from someone who knows both of us and from my time around what I assume is his workplace. I think he's a doctor, I could be wrong," Grandpa Max says to Chise & Ruth.

"I know a good fighter myself for practice if you need it," Max adds as he speaks to Schala, "but I'm a bit unsure if he wants to be interrupted with his socialising over some lunch."

Ermes was the first one to respond. "Ermes Costello, guess we got to get to know what our names are if we're supposed to work together."

"Jolyne Cujoh," She said emphasizing the difference of the pronunciation between her fathers last name and her own.

[Sleepwalker]

Russia was ‘smiling’ at Doppo, as if waiting for a reply, but when he didn’t, the Russian grew bored and looked around the armoury for anymore weapons he could take. Noticing a machine gun, Russia reached out to take it, until he realised he had nowhere to put it. Pockets? Filled. Scarf? Filled. Pants? Even that was filled.

So unfortunately, he couldn’t get his machine gun. Oh well! He’ll come back with more space later. But now, it was getting stuffy in here, and he was getting hungry. He hated the feeling of being hungry, it reminded him of poorer times. Patting his stomach, he left without another word.

Where would there be food? Russia wondered. Well he heard something about buffets and...
Bingo.

Checking through all the rooms and crannies, Russia tried to look around for the food buffet table. And found an area he saw others go to before he left for the armoury. With no sense of not interrupting people, he poked his head out.
“Ah, this is’h ‘zthe food buffet place, right?”
Well, regardless, he was already walking in and looking to take some food anyways.

[Sark]

Ben shakes Toppo's hand. "My name is Ben, Ben Tennyson. The Hero of... uh... a lot of stuff is at your service, Toppo. This here is Mason. He's... handling things right now, and talking to Phil."

Ben looks to see their uniforms.

"So, you & Jiren have matching uniforms, huh? What's the job called?"

@Jeremi @Alex Azure @Cromartous @Lucky @Crow @BuffetTable

"OMDA Agent" Jiren pulled back the edges of his cloak to reveal the crest of his new organization burned into his suit, a beacon of light against the faded blacks and greys of his once red suit. The jumpsuit that had once inspired such hope and filled him with such pride was now a symbol of disgrace and a reminder of his failure... And weakness."What we were before that is irrelevant"

In contrast, Toppo's new uniform remained fresh and pressed, with its owner taking extra care of its lining ever since 'the incident' that had wedged his team apart. From then on, he had followed a simple creed; clothes in disrepair were a sign of a disappeared mind, and, as an extension of his pride, it only seemed fit to keep it in the highest state of repair. He wouldn't deface it with alien crests or petty labels; the suit of a Pride Warrior was designed to be worn with pride in mind, and any other appropriations would be nothing short of criminal. "What Jiren means to say is that we are-" He closed his throat, cutting off his mistake as quickly as he had made it "We were Pride Warriors. I suppose you could call us... Well, perhaps you could have called us Super-Heroes. Or maybe mercenaries, if you didn't think kindly of us. But regardless, we fought for what we believed to be right, good and true" A short chuckle echoed from behind his lips, which had slowly stretched to form a small smile, hidden beneath his facial hair. "In a word, we fought for JUSTICE! And how we crushed the evils of our world! We fought for freedom..." Another laugh. He was at home in his suit again. "And I like to think..." His eyes met with Jiren's, who simply rolled his into the sky. "I like to think we still do..."

"And what of you, Mr... 'Hero of Lots of Stuff'... Does that jacket of yours hold any meaning?"

"It appears to be quite pristine, my boy. A gift more than a uniform, perhaps?"

"Mason, something gives me a really bad feeling about how you're saying her last name," Ben whispers to Mason. He too, decides to disperse the argument, and to return everything to normal. He could feel mild tension.

"Heeey girls," Ben addresses the three girls before him - Leivinia & the two Stand Users, "the food's pretty great, huh? This place has some pretty hearty beef lasagne. I can't help but notice that we haven't introduced ourselves to one another. I'm Ben, Ben Tennyson. What're your names?"

@Jeremi @Kaykay @Crow @Alex Azure @Cromartous @Lucky @FoodCourtBuffetTable

"Beef... Lasagne?" Toppo breathed. "Is it some... Earth cuisine?"

"Yeah, I bet your boyfriend thinks you're a real handful," Jolyne replied before taking a sip from her coke.

A sadistic smirk that didn't belong on a 12 year old girl crossed Leivinia's face for a moment, as though someone else would suffer more misfortune for her annoyance than she herself.

"I see. If I'm going to be incessantly 'pissed off' by you thugs I really might as well hope you're as useful as Fiamma said. At the very least, a certain spiky-haired idiot can relieve the stress you two cause."

@Jeremi @Alex Azure @Crow @FoodCourtBuffetTable

"Enough" Jiren snapped, closing his eyes around the girls. He had signed on to the mission in the hopes he could help bring order to the multiverse, not to settle debates between.. youths. A child in war zones... A disgrace. Yet Jiren knew they were on the frontline for a reason, and that was the one factor that had earned them his respect. They had both earned his honesty and his bluntness, and thus they would receive his thoughts without censorship or sugar coating. "Quit squabbling. Save your breath. One of the coming days could be your last. It will be if you don't grow up fast. Can your anger. You might need it when we're being shot at by a bunch of angry Gods..."

"I'm glad he didn't cause you any trouble." Chise sighed softly as she spoke to Libra. Knowing how the older mage liked to tease others...

She turned to Max then. "A...doctor?" She blinked. Is that what he did now since she las saw him?...Was he even qualified to be one??

When Max brought up going to get food, Chise thought it over. She wasn't particularly hungry, but if it kept the armory form being crowded then sure.

@Yun Lee @Crow

Meanwhile, Ruth had sat by himself, stuffing his face as he waited for Chise to come to his location or go back to the conference room, while ignoring all of the supposed drama and squabbling going on eslewhere in the room. Whichever Chise chose was up to her really, but he did decide to throw his own two cents in-something any brother figure would do.

'You should eat while you can, Chise...' came the telepathic message to the redhead from her familiar, but it didn't earn much of a response.

@York @AnyoneElseGoingBuffet​

"I already said I wouldn't like my standards insulted like that didn't I?" Leivinia asked with a somewhat irritated tone, crossing her arms and legs. She found it slightly obnoxious that he acknowledged her request and ignored it anyway, but moved on. "In any case, it's my subordinates that hang around me, not the other way around. It seems you're at least aware magic exists, so can I assume you'd know being the leader of a magic cabal might naturally lead to such a position?"

None of said subordinates appeared to be around anywhere, though.

As Russia dropped by, the magic cabal boss simply gave a condescending look as she gestured towards the various plates the others had.

She didn't feel like repeating what she'd said to Mason to Jiren, and so simply let him speak his piece without any real response.

"Holy shit..." Jolyne replied mouth agape in amazement at Jiren. "It's one of those fucking things from that one FBI show! The grays! It's an alien, Ermes! Hey Mister Alien, you're not going to abduct us are you?"

"Whoa, shit! Don't probe us or anything!" Ermes had a double take before she leaned closer to Jolyne totally ignoring anything that Jiren had said. "Psst! Jolyne! Aren't aliens supposed to be tiny and like naked? This guy's jacked!"

Jolyne had no answer to her friend and just shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe he works out? I dunno, I'm not an alien expert!" She calmed down a bit given Jiren another look over before replying back to Ermes. "Guess we got to expect more shit like this in a dimensional gathering or whatever."

"Still though..." Ermes replied covering with her palm as she pointed with her free hand at Jiren and replied in a hush tone. "It's a gray!"

Marcus Wright and Kyle Reese Prologue

The last time Marcus had seen anything related to the multiverse was Wanda. He had remembered his world and then the multiverse adventures. He had been tight lipped about that adventure going back home, he hadn't even told Blair one thing about that going forward.

The Coalition had called everyone to a giant meeting about a huge problem upcoming. Marcus had his own problems but staying independent wasn't good enough for the Coalition at this point. Involving Kyle had its own set of issues as well.

The man had the young Kyle Reese in tow behind him and convinced him to come along for the ride.

They both went to the armory

Kyle Reese just wanted to survive his own universe and made it clear upon arrival. Marcus had warned him about the multiverse and how it was in danger and how it pertained to everyone.

Not only that, time and alternative timelines were in danger. That got his attention more than Marcus's first statement.

He had listened to Marcus's adventures in the multiverse and something about a small relationship with Wanda, something even he didn't know about.

"Marcus, I don't know about this.. "

After some convincing, the teen followed Marcus toward the armory.

Rita Hanson

Rita paused and looked over at the weapons that did elements. She looked at them for a few moments before deciding to get a few of the element weapons. She would take one that would help to wield fire, one that would help to shoot water, one that would help to use electricity. " So outside of elemental weapons, phasers and guns, what else is easy to use?" She asked, curiously, not sure what else there was to say. She took a deep breath, hoping he wouldn't be too mad at the question.

@Ver @Alex Azure @York @Crow @MelodyMeister @dark @Armory

Phil Connors

Phil was happy that Mason was distracted and he rolled his sleeve back up as he took some food and chewed on it nervously. He took a deep breath and turned to Mason, hoping that he could think of a conversation topic. He decided now would be a good time to disappear and try to find someone (outside of Kyoko and Makoto to talk too) Where could eh find someone like this? He decided to swallow his pride and look for..... but the more he thought about, the more he realized that it might be good to stay here. What if there was someone here who he had done something worse too? Someone who he had essentially killed. " It must be nice to have a sister and a brother," he replied, a slight tone of sadness in his voice. Though he rarely mentioned it, he did have a sister, but he hadn't talked to her much or his mom. Fallouts were very much a thing he was used to having since he caused them.

@Jeremi @Cromartous @Alex Azure @Crow @FoodCourtBuffetTable​

 

[Ver]

Marcus and Kyle would have access to any weapon they could even imagine having, between pulse rifles and other phaser guns to normalized ones and short-ranged weapons such as blades.

"Well, we do have close-ranged weapons, if you're okay with any sort of blades or blunt instruments. Otherwise, it may be best to consider what would be best suited for you," Doppo otherwise said to Rita with a soft breath.

"Ah, sorry. Didn't think I'd be getting allergies here of all places," Touma said to Jotaro, brushing his nose slightly with his index finger. That really was strange, but it must have been nothing.

"Why don't you ask the man himself, Mr. Kujo?" Ollerus responded to the towering man in white, gesturing toward Fiamma of the Right, who was still in great concentration (even if, aside from his glowing hand and focused expression, it didn't look like he was doing much).

Fiamma himself, not seeming to break concentration, only spoke curtly. "A watched pot never boils, Mr. Jotaro," he said. Might have he been less focused, he might have added more snark or something sort-of-witty, but not at this moment.

@CrunchyCHEEZIT @Gummi Bunnies

Try as he might, Jotaro couldn't help but catch Diego glaring at him from across the room. The ocean of animosity between the two was utterly palpable.

That bastard is going to make things difficult.

The towering man shook his head, muttering something under his breath and divering his eyes to Fiamma. "At least we know that the Arrow and the Gungnir piece are going to be in separate places. That should split the enemies focus." Jotaro reasoned as he watched Fiamma work. if it looked like he doing something useful, then Jotaro couldn't really ask more from him, could he?

He turned his attention back to the Ollerus. "If you're going to leave that piece of Gungnir here, who is going to be in charge of guarding it?"

"You should speak to Kyoko Kirigiri about that. Her organization is the one in charge of this place, it seems. Before we head out, I'm going to go wander around for a bit. I haven't had a chance to talk with anyone else. Ciao." Giorno finished as he absconded from the conversation and left the main room, leaving Jotaro with Touma, Ollerus, Fiamma and Kyoko.

The towering marine biologist decided to leave Fiamma to his work, sauntering over to the woman who looked like she was in charge.

"Kyoko Kirigiri, right?" the man asked curtly, even though he already knew he got the right woman. The man stuck out a hand from his pocket, offering a handshake. "Jotaro Kujo. I've been meaning to ask you about the defense procedures in this base. Assuming that Ollerus agrees to leave his artifact here while we're out hunting Othinus and DIO, how well can your organization defend this place if the enemy gets the drop on us?"

"Jail," both women replied in unison.

"Holy shit..." Jolyne replied mouth agape in amazement at Jiren. "It's one of those fucking things from that one FBI show! The grays! It's an alien, Ermes! Hey Mister Alien, you're not going to abduct us are you?"

"Whoa, shit! Don't probe us or anything!" Ermes had a double take before she leaned closer to Jolyne totally ignoring anything that Jiren had said. "Psst! Jolyne! Aren't aliens supposed to be tiny and like naked? This guy's jacked!"

Jolyne had no answer to her friend and just shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe he works out? I dunno, I'm not an alien expert!" She calmed down a bit given Jiren another look over before replying back to Ermes. "Guess we got to expect more shit like this in a dimensional gathering or whatever."

"Still though..." Ermes replied covering with her palm as she pointed with her free hand at Jiren and replied in a hush tone. "It's a gray!"

Eventually. . .

"Not the most bizarre thing I've seen. . ." a voice entered the conversation, denoting the appearance of Giorno Giovanna. The mafioso wore an affable smile on his face, crossing his arms and standing over the rest of the buffet's patrons. "Ciao, everyone. I certainly hope the food in this place is decent. I'd assume it's better than prison food," Giorno spoke casually to Jolyne and Ermes, indirectly confirming their blunt response to Ben.

Try as he might, Jotaro couldn't help but catch Diego glaring at him from across the room. The ocean of animosity between the two was utterly palpable.

That bastard is going to make things difficult.

The towering man shook his head, muttering something under his breath and divering his eyes to Fiamma. "At least we know that the Arrow and the Gungnir piece are going to be in separate places. That should split the enemies focus." Jotaro reasoned as he watched Fiamma work. if it looked like he doing something useful, then Jotaro couldn't really ask more from him, could he?

He turned his attention back to the Ollerus. "If you're going to leave that piece of Gungnir here, who is going to be in charge of guarding it?"

Jolyne gave Giorno a friendly wave. "Yo, Giorno. I thought the food was going to be ass, because military food and all but this is pretty decent."

Ermes slapped her belly, seemingly done eaten. "Yeah I'm stuffed! Been a long while since I've felt like this after some food!"

"Why you ask? Come to eat or just shoot the shit?" Then she gave him a menacing glare. "Dad didn't send you check up on me did he?"

Marcus and Kyle would have access to any weapon they could even imagine having, between pulse rifles and other phaser guns to normalized ones and short-ranged weapons such as blades.

"Well, we do have close-ranged weapons, if you're okay with any sort of blades or blunt instruments. Otherwise, it may be best to consider what would be best suited for you," Doppo otherwise said to Rita with a soft breath.
@Alex Azure @Lucky @dark @Armory​

Kyle eyed the armory and blinked, rather impressed on how many weapons were here. "So many weapons in one place." He was tempted to grab as many as he could carry. He did.

He loaded up on as many plasma rifles, both high caliber and low caliber. The ones he used back in the Resistance to survive. The teen turned to the others.

Marcus did the same, loading up on as many weapons as he could carry. All sorts of weapons from plasma rifles to ammo.

However, he himself was also a weapon.

"I'm quite confident in the Coalition's ability to safeguard the Gungnir tip; the Revanchist would have to practically storm this place with an army to get through us and snatch the artifact from right underneath us," Kyoko said to Jotaro in more of a matter of fact tone than a confident one, seeming to skip the formalities and pleasantries of greetings herself. All work and no play.

"I would certainly hope so. I don't need to restate how important that keeping it safe would be, after all," Ollerus said, indirectly affirming to Jotaro that he was indeed intending on leaving the tip of the mystical spear with the Coalition.

With a curt nod, Kyoko continued on. "I intend to place it in one of our... little vaults. So on top of having to storm Knowhere itself, they'd also have to find a way to bypass it when they do find it, and if nothing else, with all the members of the Coalition available here, it won't be easy for them."

"I'll warn you to not underestimate Othinus's determination, but if you truly believe your troops can stand up to her own minions, then we'll have to see about it if the time comes."

"OMDA Agent" Jiren pulled back the edges of his cloak to reveal the crest of his new organization burned into his suit, a beacon of light against the faded blacks and greys of his once red suit. The jumpsuit that had once inspired such hope and filled him with such pride was now a symbol of disgrace and a reminder of his failure... And weakness."What we were before that is irrelevant"

In contrast, Toppo's new uniform remained fresh and pressed, with its owner taking extra care of its lining ever since 'the incident' that had wedged his team apart. From then on, he had followed a simple creed; clothes in disrepair were a sign of a disappeared mind, and, as an extension of his pride, it only seemed fit to keep it in the highest state of repair. He wouldn't deface it with alien crests or petty labels; the suit of a Pride Warrior was designed to be worn with pride in mind, and any other appropriations would be nothing short of criminal. "What Jiren means to say is that we are-" He closed his throat, cutting off his mistake as quickly as he had made it "We were Pride Warriors. I suppose you could call us... Well, perhaps you could have called us Super-Heroes. Or maybe mercenaries, if you didn't think kindly of us. But regardless, we fought for what we believed to be right, good and true" A short chuckle echoed from behind his lips, which had slowly stretched to form a small smile, hidden beneath his facial hair. "In a word, we fought for JUSTICE! And how we crushed the evils of our world! We fought for freedom..." Another laugh. He was at home in his suit again. "And I like to think..." His eyes met with Jiren's, who simply rolled his into the sky. "I like to think we still do..."

"And what of you, Mr... 'Hero of Lots of Stuff'... Does that jacket of yours hold any meaning?"

"It appears to be quite pristine, my boy. A gift more than a uniform, perhaps?"

"Beef... Lasagne?" Toppo breathed. "Is it some... Earth cuisine?"

"Enough" Jiren snapped, closing his eyes around the girls. He had signed on to the mission in the hopes he could help bring order to the multiverse, not to settle debates between.. youths. A child in war zones... A disgrace. Yet Jiren knew they were on the frontline for a reason, and that was the one factor that had earned them his respect. They had both earned his honesty and his bluntness, and thus they would receive his thoughts without censorship or sugar coating. "Quit squabbling. Save your breath. One of the coming days could be your last. It will be if you don't grow up fast. Can your anger. You might need it when we're being shot at by a bunch of angry Gods..."

@Jeremi @Alex Azure @Crow @FoodCourtBuffetTable​

"I already said I wouldn't like my standards insulted like that didn't I?" Leivinia asked with a somewhat irritated tone, crossing her arms and legs. She found it slightly obnoxious that he acknowledged her request and ignored it anyway, but moved on. "In any case, it's my subordinates that hang around me, not the other way around. It seems you're at least aware magic exists, so can I assume you'd know being the leader of a magic cabal might naturally lead to such a position?"

None of said subordinates appeared to be around anywhere, though.

As Russia dropped by, the magic cabal boss simply gave a condescending look as she gestured towards the various plates the others had.

She didn't feel like repeating what she'd said to Mason to Jiren, and so simply let him speak his piece without any real response.

"O... K... you guys must enjoy your new organization a lot."

Ben seemed to be silenced for a while when the girls just mentioned that they were in jail.

"I'm sorry, still picking up names," Ben sheepishly laughs as he converses with Leivinia, "a Magic Cabal? Can't say I've heard of that concept before. Are they like cul- clubs? Yeah, I meant to say clubs."

It was pretty obvious he wasn't.

"Earth cuisine? You mean there's alien cuisine here?" Ben asks Toppo. "Just try the food here, Toppo, great stuff. Sausages, Beef Lasagne. No smoothies, but the fruit punch here's great too!"

As Jiren asks, he replies, "it's more of an outfit than a significant uniform. Granted, I do change it - three iterations, maybe more. I always say that it's the person that makes the hero, not the gadget, or the outfit, for that matter. I like to show heroism through action.

I like the sound of these 'Pride Trooper' guys. How many of you guys are there?"

He turns to the girls again.

"You guys are Stand Users and you're surprised by the concept of living, breathing aliens? Remind me to not transform in front of you."

He would forget his own advice very soon.

Ben sees Giorno.

"Hey, Giorno. How was life since the time crisis thingy?"

Russia was ‘smiling’ at Doppo, as if waiting for a reply, but when he didn’t, the Russian grew bored and looked around the armoury for anymore weapons he could take. Noticing a machine gun, Russia reached out to take it, until he realised he had nowhere to put it. Pockets? Filled. Scarf? Filled. Pants? Even that was filled.

So unfortunately, he couldn’t get his machine gun. Oh well! He’ll come back with more space later. But now, it was getting stuffy in here, and he was getting hungry. He hated the feeling of being hungry, it reminded him of poorer times. Patting his stomach, he left without another word.

Where would there be food? Russia wondered. Well he heard something about buffets and...
Bingo.

Checking through all the rooms and crannies, Russia tried to look around for the food buffet table. And found an area he saw others go to before he left for the armoury. With no sense of not interrupting people, he poked his head out.
“Ah, this is’h ‘zthe food buffet place, right?”
Well, regardless, he was already walking in and looking to take some food anyways.

"I'm glad he didn't cause you any trouble." Chise sighed softly as she spoke to Libra. Knowing how the older mage liked to tease others...

She turned to Max then. "A...doctor?" She blinked. Is that what he did now since she las saw him?...Was he even qualified to be one??

When Max brought up going to get food, Chise thought it over. She wasn't particularly hungry, but if it kept the armory form being crowded then sure.

@Yun Lee @Crow

Meanwhile, Ruth had sat by himself, stuffing his face as he waited for Chise to come to his location or go back to the conference room, while ignoring all of the supposed drama and squabbling going on eslewhere in the room. Whichever Chise chose was up to her really, but he did decide to throw his own two cents in-something any brother figure would do.

'You should eat while you can, Chise...' came the telepathic message to the redhead from her familiar, but it didn't earn much of a response.

@Anyone

"Is he the type to cause trouble?" Max asks as he walks with them to the Buffet Area, where he saw...

"Hey, Ben, sorry if I'm interrupting anything."

"Hey, Grandpa, meet my new friii-" Ben's eyes shifted from Mason to the likes of Leivinia, Jolyne & the like. "Acquaintances."

"Good to meet you all, call me Max. I see you've got some variety. Anyways, Ben, I've got you some equipment. I decided to keep it small and compact."

"You know I don't need them."

"You know, you don't bring your hoverboard around anymore," Max says as he hands a circular disk to him. "Some days you want to pick a flier, other days you might want to use this. Also everything else. Elemental Magic Blasters & Physical Blasters, designed to reduce recoil. And a retractable pole."

Max winked to Ben, "the guys said we could do whatever we wanted with them."

"Ooooh," Ben replies as he activates his Omnitrix and smacks it down. In a flash of green light, a small little being, remniscent of gremlins of folklore, stood where he once stood.

"Jury Rigg! Ahahahaha!" the little gremlin laughs as his grubby hands played with the newly-recieved weapons. "Break break break! Break break! Fix fix fix! Fix fix fix fix! Ahahahahaha!"

After he was done, the weapons seemed to look the same. Just what was done to them?

"I'm gonna looove these improvements! Ahahaha!"

Jolyne and Ermes once again looked at each other before responding to Ben. "No."

"We're gone just as soon as we wrap this up."

"It's a social call thing, you know how it is."

The other part about the aliens made Jolyne kind of annoyed. "The kid sound kind of condescending to you Ermes?"

"Kind of does yeah," Ermes nodded.

Jolyne pointed a finger towards Ben. "Not all of us are up to date with all of this bs, and second of all how the fuck do you know we're Stand users? You been spying on us or something?"

"I bet he's a pervert." Then Ben's grandpa arrived and both women gave him a friendly wave, followed by Ben changing into a little gremlin creature. "Yeah kind of looks like a pervert," Ermes said before speaking to Max. "No offense, sure it's not something you did."
