Oasis Mall Grand Opening

[Mettaton]

Mettaton nodded in acknowledgement of what Springtrap had said about him being a ghost before shifting his attention to what Nancy was saying. Mall, stores, brand new... Wait, 1985? The last time he'd checked, it was sometime in 201X.  He didn't even think he was around in 1985! Slowly, MTT began to calm down. Maybe this was all just a weird dream, or years worked differently here. Either way, those numbers hadn't harmed him or anyone else. He decided it would be best not to focus on that too much.

Once again, Mettaton EX's attention was grabbed. This time, it was by Jack approaching on some sort of shiny, diamond horse. "I don't think anyone here knows where this is or why any of us are here. All I know is that it's a.. mall? Oh, thank you darling," Mettaton said, trying his best to answer Jack's question and responding positively to the compliment. Then, his gaze shifted to Butt Stallion. "I must say, that is a gorgeous steed you have there."

[Handsome Jack]

Jack watched every person who talked, listening intently before he looked around, clearly not able to hold still for too long as he shifted his weight from one foot to another. "1985? I don't think so princess, see if this was 1985, that would mean we'd be on Earth." Jack scoffed, looking around. "And Earth sounds really boring if I'm being honest, so I, Handsome Jack, cannot be stuck on Earth." 

He smirked at Bendy playing with the light from Butt Stallion before he returned his attention to Mettaton. "Meant every word of it kitten, you are gorgeous. And that is my princess, Butt Stallion. She's a pony... made of diamonds. I am that rich."

[bendy]

Bendy continued to chase the lights completely oblivious to being smirked at. Not staying still for any longer than a moment at a time. Still completely wide eyed with blown out pupils and pricked up ears. His limbs melted a bit, ending up more animal like as he kept light chasing. His hands melting to black sludge with long viscous claws. His feet ending up the same way. Melting his gloves and shoes out of existence. ... He looked oddly comfortable running around like this on all fours with his tail whipping around behind him, like a trail showing where he'd been but a moment ago. His claws were still able to scratch the floor despite being made of ink. Being caught by them or the blade on the end of his tail was going to hurt.

[Frank Bannister]

Frank had been listening this whole time. He'd entered in a darker part of the center court and just observed. He had honestly thought he had died for the third time, but this wasn't Heaven or Hell. It was someplace different. Someplace that looked suspiciously like he should be wearing a Member's Only jacket and firting with the valley girl wannabes in the arcade.

He took a note of all of the names he heard, but rolled his eyes at the man with the diamond pony. It was at this man's proclamation that he couldn't be on Earth that, finally, he slipped into the conversation.

"Who's to say this is Earth? And anyone who has ever actually been on Earth knows that Earth can be anything but boring." He folded his arms, shaking his head."Now, it doesn't matter if you can or can't be here. You are here now. I would be more concerned on why we are here than where we are." He walked over to the food and pocketed a few rolls before returning back to the group.

[springtrap]

Springtrap pricked up his ears with a mechanical whirr at the new voice in the room. Distracted from his confused musing about where he was and how he could be here. Causing the sounds of grinding gears as he turned his head to Frank as he listened. ... Well it looked like he wasn't the quiet type in here. Who knew.

He had to lift a leg to aviod the...short melted horned and tailed person in a suit?...from running into it. Spring was in a bad enough state already and not in any mood to get any worse via gooey claws. Doing so slowly and lowering his foot to the floor again as soon as he could to aviod unbalancing and falling over.

He quietly scoffed and muttered himself. Not fearing being heard when only one so far actually could.
"That's true enough.... Maybe this place will be an improvement with all the good being on earth ever did me...."

[Nancy Adams]

"I'll figure out why we're here. It's probably to shop or something. This is a shopping mall." Nancy looked at the running fountain and tried to figure out where this mall probably had an information desk. They were typically in the center court among places, but she had yet to see one. It had to be somewhere nearby them.

Her green eyes moved back to Jack. What an egotistical asshole. "Earth is not boring. Also, it was  1985 the last time that I checked and even if it isn't now, this mall looks like the ones that I have seen." She folded her arms and started to actively look for the directory. "Besides. Does this look like home to anyone other than me?"

[Mettaton]

"I'm flattered," Mettaton responded with a smile, "Although I'd have to agree with those two. I wouldn't say Earth is boring." When he said 'those two,' he motioned towards Frank and Nancy. "Even in the Underground things are changing and fairly interesting. I can't imagine much more interesting things would be on the s-" His words died out as it hit him. It hadn't even crossed his mind that this 'mall' could be on the surface. Now that it did, it, well, honestly wasn't that surprising.

"Surface, sorry," Mettaton EX said, concluding his sentence. "Jack, you said your name was? I'm Mettaton, pleasure meeting you." He held out a robotic hand, expecting Jack to acknowledge his greeting.

[springtrap]

He twitched his ears at Nancy's question and silently chuckled. His jaws clicking with every small movement they made. Lose bits audibly shaking inside him with the movements of his chest and shoulders. Raising his hand as an answer to her and signing.
'Looks like what I'd call home when I was living at least.'

[Handsome Jack]

"Well fun fact kiddo, I have never been to Earth. Didn't get a chance before it all you know... exploded." Jack told Frank, shrugging to him, leaning up against Butt Stallion's shoulder. "So this would be my first time on Earth, hope it lives up to expectations."

Jack took another look around. "Well, from my short ride, it does seem like a mall, they don't change even in space. All stores, though... didn't see any other people until i found you lot... It looks abandoned." He shrugged then smiled bright to Mettaton. "It was Jack, Handsome Jack in fact but you, darling, can call me Jack. Good name, Mettaton." Jack stood up and shook Mettaton's hand.

[bendy]

Hearing that his home had exploded sort of slightly shocked Bendy out of being mesmerised. Blinking and seeming a bit more aware as he looked up at Jack but his eyes were still stupidly wide. He was also still chasing lights but not really keeping an eye on what he was doing.
"Woah woah, wait a minute, exploded?"
Not watching what he was doing when chasing lights around a diamond pony was not the best idea. Not when running around at high speed on all fours. Is it even surprising that he managed to run into one Butt Stallion's legs head first?

That stopped him and snapped him out of it. He managed to get hit right between the horns. Dropping to the floor completely and holding that part of his head with his hands that had quickly returned to normal from being melted claws. It was a case of ink versus diamond. ... Diamond was going to win. Clearly.

He whined a bit in a childish manner as he picked himself up off the floor. Standing normally with hands and feet unmelted and no longer claws. Continuing to rub at his head as he winced. Revealing his fangs in the process. This was going to hurt for a while.....

[vigilante]

The second that he stepped into the room, Vigilante blinked at squinted at how bright it was. His ears lowered as he tried to shield his eyes with a gantlet covered hand. The troll flinched at went tense. Believing that he was caught out in the deadly sunlight of his home and was going to die. ... Only to find himself unharmed and just uncomfortable. What on Alternia was going here? This wasn't the room he was aiming to be in. It wasn't even the same hive. ... If it was even a hive. The knightshade didn't recognise anything about this place.

He peeked out through his fingers to try and take a longer look at the room. Only to find it just as uncomfortably bright and strange as when he only got a quick glance. The other living things in this room being just as strange. Apart from what was obviously a very odd pair of robots and a hoofbeast made of gemstones, he had no idea what anyone else was. Had these things kidnapped him somehow? And where was Cloak? The flapbeast wasn't on his back where he had been a second ago.

In an attempt to be more comfortable so he could get some answers, and for the sake of caution as he was taking no chances, Vigilante quickly ran to the nearest wall and went from running on the ground to running up the wall with ease. Not stopping until he'd reached the ceiling and settled there crouched upside down. One hand steadying himself on the ceiling as he reached over behind his shoulder to have his other hand holding the hilt of his sword. Looking down at everyone on the ground with his yellow and teal eyes. Still squinting at the brightness.
"...Where is this? What even are any of you?"

[Rythian]

Rythian became aware of the distant-sounding voices and foreign smells shortly before he'd fully woken. Slowly, as he opened his eyes and sat upright, he was bombarded by bright, neon lights from all around. This was nothing like the Twilight Forest, which he should have ended up in. "Zoey?" the mage called out instinctively, pushing himself up onto his feet. He was in a building of some sort, he could deduce that much, and there seemed to be others present. But among them, he didn't see Zoeya. Rythian scanned the small gathering a few times over, but failed to spot his red-headed apprentice. It seemed he was in this on his own.. for the time being, at least.

The Endermage approached the group as inconspicuously as he could, hoping to gather some sort of useful information from the ongoing conversation. They seemed to be in an argument of some sort, or at least, a disagreement about the current location. Rythian himself had to admit he had no idea where he was, or who these other people were. However, one person in particular caught his attention, who was quickly scaling the wall and afterward stared down at the group from the ceiling. His hand seemed to reach for something behind his back.. the realization made Rythian move his hand to hover over his own sword at his hip. Was there going to be a fight here? The mage decided to wait and see, first.

[Mettaton]

"Exploded? Oh dear..." Mettaton said, his words trailing off. Earth couldn't have exploded. It didn't seem exploded in the Underground, and it certainly wasn't exploded here. Well, if this place was on Earth. Which it seemed to be. Based on that, the robot concluded that he - and the Earth - couldn't be in any immediate danger. "Yes, this place does look abandoned," he agreed, looking around the room.

While he scanned the room, his gaze fell upon two newcomers. One was what appeared to be a human wearing a mask that covered the lower half of his face, and the other was an eccentric... thing that was looking down at everyone from the room's ceiling. Monster? No, he didn't look like any of the residents of the Underground. He seemed to reach for something at his back... a sword? Which in turn caused the human to move his hand towards his own sword. MTT watched the strangers curiously from where he was standing, deciding not to answer the troll's questions because he didn't really know the answers.

[Nancy Adams]

When the robotic rabbit raised its hand, Nancy smiled. "Rad, rabbit. We'll have to try and talk later." While robots never did any good for her back at home, seeing that one kept trying to kill her, there was something about this one that she kind of liked. It looked almost like one of those robots that you'd see playing music at a shitty restaurant while some kid threw up in the side. However, there was more it to. It had a lot more character and seemed to act more as though it was actually alive rather than just a piece of machinery with a smile painted on its face. 

Then Jack spoke of the Earth being blown up. Either he was a complete wackjob or he was from sometime in the distant future. ... Or both. Neither were really mutually exclusive. "I've spent a few days in an abandoned mall. This place doesn't really look abandoned." She moved over to the glistening and bubbling fountain and looked into the water. "The fountain is still on and filled with clean water. The ceiling is in great shape. The floors look like they've never been used. The lights are on. Everything looks spotless and new." She shook her head. "This mall looks more like it is waiting for the stores to finish setting up. This is just weird." Continuing to look into the water, she thought about what could be happening. 

"This must be another simulation made by that damned Canadian robot. Something bad is going to happen." Her eyes widened a little as she spoke. The expression on her face screamed 'No, not again!'. This could not be a good thing. That robot was out to kill her. 

"This is a shopping mall. I am a human."

[springtrap]

If it was possible for him to look cheerful when he was stuck as a tattered machine then he would be at the moment. Another person willing to talk to him rather than screaming and running for the nearest exit. That was nice. He probably didn't deserve it considering why those screaming poeple had been running from him but he was going to enjoy this anyway. Might as well. It wasn't as he or anyone else was going anywhere. He snorted when the ink thing that had nearly sliced his leg ran head first into the pony. Yep, that one had to hurt. He gave Nancy a thumbs up then briefly took a moment to observe the...horned person clinging the ceiling. ... Ok so that was a thing now. Bored of that he returned to listening in on the talking around him and in the rest of the room.
