With a somewhat limited vocabulary, Reiner put forth his best efforts into understanding the opinions being presented. After hearing them (and ultimately understanding only about eighty percent of them), he nodded. "Okay. Okay, fine. So we are not dead or in some other realm. We are in a, eh, physical plane, yes? We have just been moved. I can handle that. I do not understand it, but I suppose I do not have the evidence to reject it.
"However, I do not think we can just wait around for something to happen." He gave another quick look around the room. "We all arrived at the same time, did we not? So no one has been outside of this room? Of course, if we were brought here- well, if we ended up here- it was probably for a reason. But that doesn't necessarily mean that whatever is going to happen is going to happen in this room, does it?"

(( Assumed that, but still nonetheless. ))
Mana's attention was brought to the rest of the group as Arkaya's commanding voice easily turned her head. Of course some of what she said was too complicated for Mana to understand. As the talk continued, it still wasn't making clear sense to her but finally some one said something she could follow on.
"I'm with what that guy said," finally speaking up towards the group and motioning at Reiner. "There's clearly nothing to do here but pointlessly talk about what we don't know. So let's explore. I mean, even if doing so tells us nothing more on our situations, it's a hell of alot better than wasting time debating on...this," as she simply gestured to the whole of the group now.

Deivet hand reached up and gently held the necklace around his neck. "So magic. I've never even heard of magic strong enough to transport something from far away or from another time to somewhere else. I've heard talk of the idea of teleportation - but that's just fiction. Every person that has tried it has failed."
He shakes his head, "I wouldn't know if my body has changed much - it feels quite the same. I'd have to test myself to be sure that there wasn't any changes." If that's true. They might not have magic. Or even know what an Anrevent is. Might be why none of them even tried magic - even a simple cantrip.
"Exploring would be a good idea. See what we have to work with, and what may be a reason as to why we are here." He then begins mumbling to himself, "If only I had my belt on me."

Jake, who had walked over together with Mana and listened quietly interjected "I say we try locate the head-honcho of this happening. After all, no party this far out and expensive can be organised without a leader of some sort. Whoever brought all of us here likely is said person, or at least close to them." He said, then, while padding off his clothing, added "I think the one with the most gold and glitter on their suit is a safge bet for guru."
He did, of course, not find what he had, subconsciously, been looking for, the little plastic zip-loc bag that usually held his stash of marijuanna along with his papers. On a sidenote, his zippo was gone. At this realization Jake actually figured out what this strange, longlost feeling was he had been experiencing: He was completely sober. This did absolutely not fit with the theory he had formed, despite all that the others had said, that this was the result of some manner of widely overproportioned narcotics bender. Jake gave a mild curse under his breath "Gaia-dammit those moochers must've pinched my dope!" he said to noone in particular.

Jake's comment prompted Arkaya to glance over her garb, she was probably the most glittery and bejeweled one out of all of them curiously enough. She stowed the pet theory aside for the moment to address them again.
"Before looking for this alleged leader, assuming of course they even have a single, corporeal form, I propose we work out a plan of diplomacy. Force isn't an option with something as hypothetically powerful as our abductors," yes it was horribly redundant and obvious, but she had a feeling some of these humans were rash, stupid or some combination of the two with maybe a dash of ego.

"Attention," a figure called at the front of the room, up on a raised stage. "Attention! Can I have your attention, please?" He was tall, blonde and handsome, in that rare Fabio way that so few men could pull off without looking like sissies. He was one of those few. He had broad shoulders outlined squarely by his pressed blue dress uniform with golden buttons and his voice rolled over the crowd, which hushed as instructed, all the countless eyes in the room turning to him.
Once the last of them settled down, he began again. "I want to thank you all for coming here this evening. I know that the importance of this night goes far beyond these walls and affects all of you, throughout the land. However, I hope you'll all understand if my family and I hold a special place in our hearts for this evening all our own. After all, the woman returning from her pilgrimage tonight is your queen, but she is my wife and the mother of my children, and we have missed her greatly these last two weeks."
The crowd applauded sympathetically to this, the emotional trials of their king and royal family, if he were literal about the mentioned woman being queen, but he held up his hands and motioned for them to let him speak further.
"But this of all nights is not one for melancholy, my countrymen," he told them. "Why should we parade about with our faces long as if tonight is the night she is taken away? No, I say, tonight is the night the Songbird gives her back! So rejoice! Drink your fill! Toast cakes to one another! Tonight is more than just a party. It is a celebration for your beloved queen!"
This time, the room erupted in applause, and he let it, encouraged it before bowing before them and seeing himself off the stage once more.

Everyone seemed to be rooted in place for whatever reason, maybe their brains were addling on the wrong subjects, "You wanted the leader yes?" She bunched up her garbs and started to make chase after the man, "Opportunity is walking away, we best not lose him."
It contradicted what she said not minutes before, but diplomacy was for when they comfortably arrived at information, not when it was stepping away from them.

"Right!" Mana snapped out of her daze and followed after Arkaya. She'd actually been admiring the man who had just addressed everyone in the room, it not being often that such a perfectly handsome man such as that appeared before her from out of thin air.

Reiner found that the man's sudden appearance was way too convenient, but at this point, a plain explanation of affairs was much welcomed. Not that his speech explained much that meant much to the young man, but it was a start.
He shrugged and huffed a quiet "fine" and followed the females.

"So we've got a more proactive group this time," said a sullen child behind Nayra. The adorable munchkin in the silky green grown already had something orange smeared across her face, and she was sucking on her fingers, eyeballing the laden tables she had likely just come from. "Not that you'd remember anyway."
She gave her palm one long lick with her stained tongue, and stuck out the same hand for the other girl to shake. "My name is True, yours is Nayra. Are we going with them?"

Nayra shied her hand away from the raggamuffin's for obvious reasons. "What an odd child you are ..." she noted as politely as she could. "If you know so much, though, perhaps you know why we are here?"

True gave Nayra an odd look before dropping her offered hand. "I don't remember it too well, and we didn't get very far before interest died out." She stuck out her bottom lip, frowning up at the blue-haired girl. "I know a little OOC information, but, not enough to get us any further. You have an unusual symbol on your forehead, by the way. Insert baffled touching of said forehead, now. After that, I think we just wait for the Queen to make her entrance. She's wearing a mask, because her encounter with the Songbird was so taxing, or something, I don't remember. And then the king comes over and tells you that you're betrothed to some fat kid, something like that."

At the mention of the forehead, she started to reach up to touch it, but as the girl mentioned it, she stopped, not in an effort to prove her wrong, but simply because it wasn't necessary. She listened it through and nodded. "You are, indeed, an odd child. A clairvoyant, perhaps?"

"No," True contradicted, shaking her clean tresses. "That would be awesome. I know a little bit of the plot, but beyond that, I'm pretty useless. If I remember right, I don't think we can even use our powers here. Not that you have any, uh, yet, but," she shrugged her pale shoulders, "Some of the other PCs do. I just never figured out how I got so CLEAN, and what the bird did with my other feet. Like, seriously, I have a belly button and everything. Check it out!" True 'checked it out' herself, fascinated by her bared midsection. "Chronologically speaking, I haven't had a belly button in three years. Or toes! You have toes, right?"

Jake stood next to the arguing Nayra and True, staring at the girl blabbering on asnd on with all those strange acronyms. He stepped close to True and crouched so they were on eye-level. "Hey there kiddo..." He said in a slow voice. "Don't you think that a child your age is a little young to get all up in daddies medicine cabinet?" He inquired, believing True to be on some manner of narcotics high.
