[ For each character, as they pass through an area—through a door, across the bridge, etc.—they'll find themselves... not where they expected to be! Instead, all together now, they're in some sort of dimensional corridor: all around them, it looks like the galaxy, if somewhat distorted. Though their feet will remain flat on the surface, as if they were walking on an invisible floor on normal Earth, it certainly doesn't look like they're anywhere normal.
In any case, within this strange place, the only direction to go now is forward. If they try to go back, it's as if they hit a wall. ]

[Whoa!
Weird.
Soo-won is admittedly going to like. Check the backward direction first, placing a hand against the wall-like structure like half a second before he impacts it before - laughing?]
Oh dear. It seems as though we have no choice but to keep pressing on. Let's take caution, everyone.
[to which he'll actually turn and if no one stops him, he's leading the way]

[ ... well! one minute you're going to grab more space snacks, and then the next, you're walking along the galaxy! that's cool. xie lian blinks down at his feet, and then his three new companions.
...and then, much like a protagonist, agrees with soo-won immediately, looking over the other two members of their little group to make sure they're okay! ] Is everyone alright?
[ muttering a quiet "how curious"... to himself, xie lian's gonna take up place right with soo-won, letting ruoye unravel a bit from his wrist. ]

[ well so much for exploring some more! of course there's obviously the moment of shock when the whole scene changes, but it only lasts for about half a second before ochako beams with delight. ]
This is so cool! It's got to be an illusion of some kind, right? How do you think it works?
[ ...she's fine. ]

[And then, of course, Chiron takes up the rear of his own volition, having double-checked the integrity of that invisible wall by pushing on it with increased force, not that it did him much good.
His expression has barely flinched during the entire shift from Space Garden to Just Space, but his eyebrows are drawn up in mild exasperation all the same.
It's fine. He is armed like always, so his voice is mild]
We seem to all be fine, yes. Though if this is an illusion or not remains to be seen.

[ As Soo-won and Xie Lian walk, they will find that the space around them seems to... shift?
They appear to be indoors now, although the aesthetic will be nothing these oldies will be personally familiar with. Ahead of them is still a straight corridor, though now the walls are opaque, white, and made of some sort of futuristic material, and the entire hallway is lit up brightly. If they look behind to where they came from, it's just another wall.
Hm. What now? ]

[ Well.
Since Soo-won and Xie Lian went and took the lead, something strange happens as they move...
Meanwhile, press f for Ochako and Chiron who took up the rear. ]

[Well then.
Soo-won will notice the lack of footsteps and look behind him - ]
Ah.
[And he'll move to knock on the wall behind them, gently at first and then with more force to see if it'll budge - ]
Ochako! Archer! We're alright!
[Might as well make an attempt at communication first before they move forward.]
More magic at play, is it...

[ - ah.
she stops short, casting a wary glance over her shoulder... and sighs in relief. of course something was going to happen, but at least she's not totally alone. ]
Xie Lian-san! Soo-won-san! [ i hope her voice just echoes through space. ] ...I hope they're alright. And that that doesn't happen again.
[ the way forward is just... space. there's nowhere else to go, so it's not like they have a choice, but it is worrying. they'll just have to be ready for... something. ]
Guess we should keep going, huh?

[Chiron's reaction is a bit more... aggressive.
Seeing as he immediately nocks an arrow and looks for something to shoot at.
... But then nothing else happens, so he continues stepping forward alongside his newest (only) companion with a nod of agreement]
Yes, let us be careful as we proceed. Please stay close to me.

[ Assuming Soo-won and Xie Lian walk ahead, they'll eventually find themselves in a room. The door through which they come from appears to be the only one, so it looks like this is their only destination.
Anyway, it's still very sci-fi-looking. Brightly lit, with white paneled walls. I'm glad neither of them know anything so I don't have to give you exact details on how it looks like because it's all new and mysterious to them.
But in the room are a few... chairs? Machines? Some kind of cross between the two? They're obviously meant to be sat in, at least, but they won't look like any kind of chairs Soo-won and Xie Lian have seen. ]

Mm, let's proceed.
[Jan's cheating because she gave ye oldes technology and honestly I respect that so much.
that said.
soo-won is going to look rather surprised at that, given that they only have one path? wow, not even the illusion of choice. once they enter the room he's going to knock against the walls as if it'll do anything, before turning to the chairs. how many chairs are there!!]
I take it that we're meant to have a seat.

[ Nothing to shoot at but space, Chiron. Alas.
If Ochako and Chiron keep moving forward, they eventually... step out of the corridor? Suddenly, they're on the surface of a rocky planet, and if they look back, their original path is gone. Up in the sky is still clear space, however, as if this planet has no atmosphere. Nevertheless, they can breathe just fine, and gravity still exists.
A short distance away, there's an organized pile of weapons. If it exists in their canon, it's probably there! ]

[ no windows, no doors... xie lian thuds an elbow into one of the walls just to check the solidity of it, but seeing as how it's a paneled space wall i'm sure it's fine.
with his fingers wrapping gently around ruoye, he walks forward with soo-won, glancing at their surroundings. wow, it's all technological as shit!
do the machines look like their parts...go...anywhere....??? like around the head or anything of that like? any counters or anything, or is it just the chairs. any sign of like, human life (alien life? furry life?) in this room ever at any time. ]
...perhaps so. [ xie lian will be the first to walk forward, then! onwards, to get a closer look at said chairs. ]

[ When they knock on the walls, they might detect from the sound that certain areas sound hollow, though the walls cannot be removed or damaged.
There are... two chairs! It's not a very big room. There are holes, ridges, and whatnot that seem like they could be concealing extra machinery parts, but who knows, really. Nothing is immediately obvious! But there are armrests.
Also, no signs of life. On the other hand, there are no signs of death either? ]

[ alright, close to space horse dad it is. she'll stick to his side, ready to defend herself if need be, but... ]
Are those... weapons? [ knives, swords, even guns... there's so many, and it leaves ochako feeling uneasy. ] These wouldn't be here without a reason. Wherever we are, there must be some kind of fight coming up.
[ in which case... there are a couple of knives with her name on them. guns would be too dangerous for someone with no experience, and the rest... well, ochako's used to fighting with her hands and her quirk, not. actual weapons. so she'll leave the rest unless chiron suggests otherwise. ]
But if these are here, there has to be someone else around, too. Do you see anything? [ where are the people who put these weapons here? ] We should be careful if we see someone, though. They might not be friendly.

[No signs of death........ yet.
Soo-won will examine the room a bit more, going back to the way they came to see if anything has changed, as if putting off the inevitable - before sighing.
Before he sits - ]
It would seem as though we have no choice but to take a seat. [and in truth, he doesn't really want to do it himself however there is an even larger part of him that plain and simple does not want to rely on an immortal being, even one as agreeable as xie lian]
If possible, we ought to engage in this one at a time rather than simultaneously. If something happens.... well, take care of Yona.
[and then without much further ceremony, he will go to sit.]

Won--!
[ STOP THAT'S USUALLY HIS JOB, YEETING HIMSELF INTO DANGER
as a certified self-sacrificer, xie lian thinks that is a terrible idea, but alright. he waits, uneasy, ruoye live around his wrist just in case, hand on the back of the other chair. ]

[ Soo-won, why.
A holographic screen pops up in front of Soo-won! Xie Lian can technically read it, but as the chairs are side by side, he might have to lean over the chair he's at to see clearly. ]
Monsters will soon attack. Your assistance is required to activate the defence system, so that they do not advance any further. Are you prepared?
[Yes] | [No]
[ Please select one, Soo-won. (Spoilers: you'll be here for a while if you pick No.) ]

[there's a brief look of exhaustion - followed by a smile. he recites the words to help xie lian so he doesn't need to look over]
Well, no problem so far, I suppose. I can't think of any way to better prepare than this.
[and he'll reach out to tap Yes hopefully that works!]

[... Hm.
Well, the sudden change of scenery is further proof for him to keep his guard up, and he's giving the rocky planet a thorough look-over for anything suspicious... which, frankly, includes the pile of weapons just sitting there out in the open.
But he has no issue with Ochako arming herself; it's why he'll stand back at attention, bow still ready to let an arrow fly at the slightly movement that isn't her.
He notes all of the weapons that are familiar to him, and doesn't touch them.]
No, I see nothing for now... but take heed of the weapons. It could be a trap.
[Sorry but Horse Dad trusts nothing]

[ ... ]
... I'm going to join you, if that's alright. [ he can't just sit by if someone's going to attack them??? hello??? he has done lots of fighting in his life but he does not know how to fight anything in space. especially with nerfed ruoye.
that gut sense of "danger something bad" he's had for the past eight hundred years is going off the rails, at the moment. but it's probably fine!
time to go sit! ]
