"-- Ah. Understood." well, guess XD's real name would remain a mystery for now. That was all good and fine for him though, since he still was dealing with being the 'new kid' around. Then as Chai addressed him, Tabi just huffs a bit at his question. "Yes. As I said, I got swept up by... something from my reality, and I fell down in an alley. What, you got dropped down too?" he'd ask, even if he felt like he knew the answer.

His next question, though--

"What...? No, they don't, I-" he pauses for a bit. This was part of the other half of his story that he hadn't told Oron yet, and he was trying to find a way to put words to it. After about a few seconds, he resumed; "This... is not who I am. This skull is... it's special." he did not talk past that point, and he'd glance back at Oron a bit, clearly not wanting to discuss the true purpose of the skull on his head openly.

Oron leaned down, squatting almost as he had to get close to Tabi so that XD couldn’t hear the pair of them. “I think it’s supposed to stand for something but he hasn’t told me… not sure if he even knows.” The Australian muttered under his breath but the two whispering to each other didn’t seem to bother the robot all too much.

“Sooo..” The most normal looking of the bunch, the teenager laid out on the couch. “You fall from the sky as well?” That was Chai’s way of asking if Tabi had arrived from a different universe. His head tilted a little as he asked his next question.

“Does everyone in your world have cool skull heads like you orrrr???”

[world-of-funkin]

"Oh? Implants? Y'mean like, cyborg stuff? That's RAD, dude! Sorry I got ya knocked over!" he sheepishly rubs his neck at that, clearly a bit remorseful that Oron had gotten knocked over because of his lack of awareness. But this was all new to him, in his defense! Getting warped into another realm without IMMEDIATELY being assaulted/challenged to a duel by the inhabitants of said realm. He'd tilt his head a bit as Oron just stared at him.

"-- What? Why ya lookin' at me like that? Somethin' on my face?" he quips, before Oron states his question. He scratches his blue hair a bit. "Um... not exactly! I was just, y'know, minding my own business, me and my GF Ev' were just hangin' at this public park and having a good time... then just WHOOF! I get swept away and plopped down right here-!" he points over to an alley-way, not too dissimilar from the state that Oron had found Tabi in.

"I mean, this place is... cool, I guess? Not too different to my reality, but... different, still. I'm just glad I ain't dealin' with some inter-dimensional freak for once!" he laughs casually at that, before he slaps himself over the head. "Ah-! Damn, I almost forgot!" as he twirls the microphone in his hand around a few turns, gripping it and giving Oron an eccentric grin and peace sign.

"Nice to meetcha~! The name's Tyke! Singer and battle-rapper extraordinaire~! But uh, where I'm from, people just stick to calling me 'Boyfriend', or 'BF'!"

Rubbing his head, the Australian blinked at the younger man before him. His face gave a little bit of a grimace at the language being used, it reminded him of the teens back in Detroit. Judging by the outfit though, this kid must’ve been some kind of singer. Pushing himself back up, Oron brushed himself off and gave a little bit of a chuckle at the question.

“No need to worry about that, it’s an implant.” He ran his fingers through it as he grabbed the box of doughnuts that he did manage to save. Red eyes started to scan the younger one as his eyebrows furrowed.

He remembered Tabi mentioning someone with blue hair being a little bit of a troublemaker back when they had first met. This guy had blue hair, looked like a troublemaker. With a small clearing of his throat, the pilot decided to just dive right into his assumptions.

“Do you know how you got here?”

[world-of-funkin]

And while Oron was busying himself with his own worries, there was someone new yet again in his reality who wondered just how the hell he had ended up here. And without anyone to battle, to boot! No eldritch abomination version of infamous T.V/video game mascots, no ACTUAL otherworldly abominations, nothing! But hey, at least Tyke had his trustworthy mic in hand and ready for any challenge!

... Except for a large Australian man bumping into the 5'6 young man and falling OVER him and onto his ass!

"OOF!"

He'd grunt out as the larger male almost knocked him over, but he'd just grunt and shake his head.

"Ayo?! Watch it big man! You almost knocked me over!" he blurts out as soon as his senses are back in full swing, but then he observes the larger man with a bit of a quizzical look. "... Ey, you good bro? You got cables comin' outta your head or whatever."

[world-of-funkin]

"Like plunging into ice-bath to numb yourself to the cold. I get it." Tabi adds on to Oron's statement of just taking the plunge. Yes, he was right. He had worried for far too long about the 'if's' and 'but's' of bringing it up with Agoti. Who knows? Maybe if he somehow ends up here too, he'd break the ice between them... but for now, there was another kind of ice needing to be broken, as he steps inside and is soon greeted by the sight of a teenager with a... comically oversized cat... thing(?) perched across his lap, and the box-shaped robot.

That must be the one Oron talked about earlier, that for some reason hated Communists...

He'd tense up a bit at the realization that all eyes were on him right now, cornered by these three new strange individuals, but he'd swallow his fear for now and clear his throat. "Ahem... yes, hi. Name's Tabi. I uh... got dropped here for some random reason, aha. Much like most of you I guess..." he was a bit miffed at XD's overly cheery greeting, but he'd put on a weak 'smile' with his skull-face. "Ah... nice to meet you too XD." once the robot had his attention elsewhere, he'd lean over towards Oron to whisper quickly;

"Seriously, that's his name?"

“It’s only natural to feel that fear.” Oron nodded in response to Tabi’s feelings. “But in my opinion, it’s better to just take the plunge and know for certain than just sit around and wonder about the ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ if you know what I mean.” Using his butt to open the door, the mechanic stepped in and held it open for the other to step inside.

As soon as Tabi stepped in, he could see at least two strange beings and one teenager sort of just hanging around the large garage. One being was a robot, big and square with a happy face on it. The other, a cat-like creature that’s covering the lower half of the teen with his loafing, one good ear flicking as soon as he heard Tabi’s footsteps.

“Hey everyone, I… would like to introduce Tabi, the newest member of the household.” Oron closed the door gently.

Instantly, all three of them looked at Tabi. There was a brief silence but then the robot spoke up.

“Hey Tabi! Cool head! I’m XD, this is Chai and the one laying on him is Torrar!”

[world-of-funkin]

Tabi would raise an invisible brow as Shamarah tried explaining himself, but then he just straight up pulled out a coin purse filled with GOLD coins! He gawked slightly at the sight, before he would just stare at the alligator-man.

"W-Whuh-- Y-YES! Yes, that'd be enough and THEN some! Yebat, you guys have GOLD where you come from?!" he exclaims, still a bit in disbelief at what he's seeing, before he shakes his head to collect himself. "Euh, well like I said- that should be enough for a phone and a plan for one! But uh... paying physical cash isn't usually how you pay for a monthly plan. Maybe we ought to set up a bank account for you..."

Shamarah looks rather awkward as the question of money is brought up. He is aware that the use of paper money and "credit cards" is the standard here in this world; unfortunately, he has neither.

"Well, I do have money, but I'm not sure how well it translates to this world..." He reaches into his bag, and pulls out a small coin purse. Undoing the string reveals the pile of solid gold coins that clink against each other within. "...Would this be anywhere close enough? I took only a handful on my way from my world, but its all I have on my person."

[world-of-funkin]

Tabi was listening intently on Shamarah's request, but the simple aspect of getting a phone was... well, he had to stifle a small chuckle out of himself. "Hmf... really? That is all you wanted help with?"

But naturally, the smile that now slightly twisted his skull-face in an upward angle clearly displayed his tone of voice as mirthful. A happy change of pace for the young man. "Of course I can help you with that! Now there are some small stuff we need to consider though... to have a phone is easy enough. But you gotta set up a phone plan that you need to pay for. You don't look like you need the more expensive ones though, something basic should be just fine..."

"Err, that makes me think actually... you actually got money to pay for it?"

"That's... interesting." Shamarah didn't know how to exactly take this information. One on hand, as a demigod he was used to the idea of people that wanted to admire them to the point they made effigies, but the idea that people of this world world admired his species felt odd somehow.

"Anyways, there's something that I've noticed around. Something that people of this realm have, but I'm quite sorely lacking at the moment. Tell me-" he leans forward towards Tabi "-is there any way I can acquire a phone?"

[world-of-funkin]

"EYO! Whassup?! You look like you can spit some bars! You wanna have a rap-off?!"

Have an inexplicable Boyfriend out of nowhere, because he just has a habit of appearing like that.

[world-of-funkin]

While accepting the box -- and almost losing balance from the weight being shifted to his arms, but still managing to lift it -- he was just staring in awe as V explained their implants and what they did, his yellow eyes positively gleaming in adoration. So it was a two in one implant? That was even more interesting!

"You did this cover?" he repeated, just to make sure while holding up his box. "Well, got to say; you're pretty talented! I should know, music used to be my life! Was pretty big where I come from, you know." he couldn't help but to puff out his chest a bit in pride. "One of my releases got two million views after all. It was the peak of my career!"

“Nova! Well, always feel free t’ask me anythin’. Imma pretty open book.” They put down the large pile and started to scan each box. Making sure the contents were correct and the weights so whichever box they gave Tabi wouldn’t be too heavy. Still heavy, since it’s all metal, but not back-breaking. At least, that was the hope.

Once decided, they carefully removed one of the slightly smaller boxes and offered it to Tabi.

“Heh. Ya like it?” They tapped a sharp nail against their neck implant. “This is two implants in one. Voice augmentation and loud speakers with two modes: the one currently bein’ used, and one for causin’ real property damage.”

“Oh! And the recordin’ you’re hearing is from mah last music gig. I did a cover of a pretty imfamous Rockerboy’s song from ma universe. Ya might actually get t’meet him at some point. Jus’ gotta warn ya. He’s an asshole.”

[world-of-funkin]

"Well, 'furry' is just a blanket term for-" wait... he caught himself. Was he actually about to describe what a 'furry' was to Shamarah? Or would he spare himself the indignity and possible second hand embarrassment of opening that can of worms up to him? Well, he had already opened his mouth- "... People dressing up in animal costumes. At least where I'm from. And it doesn't matter if they got scales, fur, or feathers. It still counts as a 'furry'."

With that simplified explanation out of the way, Tabi then lifts a 'brow' at Shamarah wanting some help right away. "Hm? Sure thing Shamarah, I could help you out. Anything to keep my mind off things."

"Well..." Shamarah looks back down at themselves, before looking back at Tabi. "...I'd say I'm more scaly than furry? Though, there are plenty of individuals with fur in my world, and others with feathers too." The gator elaborates. This mortal has to have been from a world where alligators exist right? Do alligators have fur where he's from?

"The offer is appreciated!" There is a pause, a moment to consider an idea, before "There IS something I could use help with now, if that's alright?"

[world-of-funkin]

London Black - Real Friends

We all want anything, everything Life can be so beautiful, plentiful (We all, we all, we all) I'm not so lucky now We all need something, somebody To make us feel we're not invisible (We all, we all, we all) But that's not the way for me now

'Cause when you fall apart you'll find Who your real friends are Then those who gather 'round your light Yet run from your dark

[world-of-funkin]

'Just be honest...' Yeah, he's been 'honest' several times in his past, and look where that got him? Regardless, he could tell Oron was being honest, and trying to help him. So he did appreciate that, at least. Regardless, he'd just shake those thoughts off for now. Agoti was not around right now, so he had time to mentally prepare himself. He'd nod at Oron as he felt the vehicle slow down.

"... You're right, Oron. I should be honest. It's just... difficult. I don't want to scare him off, and last time I was honest with people... it did not end well." he explains, before he slides out of his seat and out of the car, following close-by to Oron. He was nervous again... about what the others would think of him. But he'd pull through.

“Well yeah but you’re also talking to someone who has been in a marriage.” There was a small chuckle from the mechanic as he pulled into his garage. He kept the car running so that the radio continued to play while he started to rummage through the Taco Bell bag.

“If you want my advice, just be honest with him. Relationships are built on trust and a mutual respect for each other. Clearly, your feelings are strong and they will most likely not go away so the best thing to do is just talk to him about it.” He took another bite out of his taco.

“It’ll stop you wondering about the what ifs and if he is willing to go the next step… well, you guys can start talking to each other about what that next step looks like.” Finally, he started to slide out of the truck, closing the door with his hip.

“Alright, come inside. I’ll introduce you to the others.”

[world-of-funkin]

Tabi's expression was one of disbelief in what he just heard, as he'd even tilt his head in trying to comprehend what he heard, and tried to put it in terms that he himself would be able to justify it; "So... you're from a world full of furries?" he'd ask slowly, meaning no disrespect. "Makes sense I guess..."

"Well, if you ever need help with something, I might be able to help. I'm not a tech whiz like one of my friends, but I'm fairly knowledgeable with tech."

"Oh I see." was the gator's response. Perhaps he should simply drop the matter for now? Encounters with demons can be pretty intense, he should know, and this human's face off with one did not sound like a fond memory.

Shamarah chuckles at Tabi's statement about technology. "That may be so, but if I'm staying here, I might as well try to understand what I can. Though, admittedly, some are definitely going to take longer than others." He raises finger to scratch at the side of his face in embarrassment.

"Well-" Shamarah gestures to himself. "-folks like me of course. Actually, not entirely like me. Not everyone in my realm has multiple limbs like me, some do, but not all." he explains. "I guess in a word, the people in my world are all just...animals." That felt weird to say. "We just simply can walk and are capable of speech, a feature that I've come to see isn't present in EVERY world."

[world-of-funkin]

"... Was I being that obvious?" Tabi grunts out, a bit embarrassed that Oron had caught onto him. But- "... Yeah, I do. We've... been trying our best to be... you know, boyfriends, for a bit. It's... going alright." his tone of voice indicated there were some things he left out, but thankfully Oron would not need to do any prying, as eventually-

"As alright as it can go, at least. Agoti, he... he is a great friend, like I said. But I don't know if he sees us the way I see us, you know? I... I really do love him, Oron. Whenever he's around, he makes the hell I've been through seem worth it! And like I'd endure it all over again if only for him! But he..." his head lowers a bit, a strain coming over his voice. As if holding back tears threatening to spill if he let his emotions take full control.

"He just thinks we're only friends. I've tried hinting him towards my feelings! But I don't want to do it too forcefully, or I bet I'll scare him off. But sometimes, I just... I just want to grab his stupid handsome face and kiss the ever-loving life out of him-"

Noticing the change in Tabi’s mannerisms, Oron did look down at the other with his mouth half open, ready to eat the rest of his soft taco. Oohhh, he could tell that this was more than just simply a ‘good friend’. The Australian had completely forgotten the previous conversation about the god forsaken pie, now he was entirely focused on learning more. 

“You got feelin’s for ‘em don’tcha?” He was blunt about it, not as an insult. It was part of his culture to be blunt and honest about things. “Someone doesn’t talk like that about another person without having some kind of emotional connection to them.”

There was a mild shrug from the larger man. “At the very least I reckon it’s a good sign that you're getting over your ex if you are developing feelings for a different person.”

[world-of-funkin]

"Da, I do! Those are my favorites too!" he seemed to REALLY get his spirits up now! Food does that to everyone it seems. But the mention of a Baja Blast Pie made him seem... a little bit confused at first, before it all settled into place. "... They WHAT?! NO! You are lying!" he exclaimed in a bewildered manner, even as he was handed his food and drink and he was shown the physical slice of pie, he still was in disbelief.

"What manner of insane or genius mind came up with that?!" he exclaims after a big chomp out of his burrito. "Oh crap, I NEED to tell Agoti about this! He'll be out of his mind excited when he-" Oops. Seems like Tabi's excitement got him a little too hyped up. But he didn't seem to instantly regret it. Just kinda catching himself after mentioning.

"A-Ah, sorry. Did not mean to slip like that, heh. But uh, yeah... I have a friend called Agoti, back where I'm from. He's a real good friend, too. He might be a pain in the ass sometimes... but he's loyal to a fault. And he's got real cool powers, and he is a video game whiz, and loves to skateboard, and sing karaoke, and--"

Unbeknownst to Tabi, Oron could see the bony cheeks of Tabi's skull flare up with a pink tinge the more he spoke about this 'Agoti'. Whoever this guy was... to Tabi, he was definitely more than just a 'good friend'.

“Oh they have more than just a Baja Blast. You know the cinnamon twists that they have? Some genius in this universe decided to combine the Baja Blast with the frosting and create a pie with it.” Oron was already making his way to Taco Bell before he even suggested going there. If there was one thing that could really unite people of the multiverse, it was certainly food.  Now, was Taco Bell the absolute best? Fuck no. Oron would argue that Arby’s was vastly superior in every way but who was going to say no to a burrito?

Once they got their order through the drive thru, the mechanic handed over the Baja Blast with the burrito while he quickly showed Tabi the pie.

“It looks gross but I promise you that it’s heavenly once you take a bite. One of them take out things that you close your eyes before eating.” He gave a bit of a chuckle as he bit into his chicken and cheese quesadilla.

“Alright. Home ain’t too far off.”

[world-of-funkin]

"Sorcery? Nyet. That is not common. Demonic powers though? Plenty of that. Was a demon that put this curse on me." he scowls again, but calms himself with a deep breath. No, no use losing your mind on this guy who doesn't know better. He lifts his head to actually look at Shamarah as he explains his difficulty understanding technology, and it actually makes him chuckle a bit.

"Pfft. Don't be too hard on yourself for not getting technology. Some old people of this world probably don't understand it either." he'd assure Shamarah. But he was curious to hear that there were no humans where he came from. "No? No humans at all? Then what kind of people are in your world?"

"Ah, a curse is it? So, I take it sorcery isn't something strange in your realm." So there was a version of this modern world that had magic in

The gator scratches his chin in thought "Mmmm, well yes. Significantly so. For example, my world doesn't have all this-" he gestures around with his limbs "-technology. Stuff like your phones and your lightbulbs do not exist where I come from. Also, there are no humans." He adds on as if its a sidenote. "Up until I arrived here, I had never even seen a human before."

[world-of-funkin]

"Good to meet as well, V! I've heard lots of you from Oron... well, as much as he feels comfortable sharing. Will be nice to know you more." Tabi smiles, or at least V could interpret it as 'smiling' based on the limited expressions his skull-head can make. He takes a quick gander at the large boxes that V was carrying... that sure looked heavy. He was a bit nervous for once, but he would not back down.

"Uhm... I think I could carry at least... one of them?" he guesstimates, if all of the boxes they were going to grab were that big and loaded. Still, he would not back down! As V put the boxes in their arms down, he suddenly heard music playing from them... and oh boy was that some good tunes!

"O-Oh... damn, that is good music! You got good taste V! But... where is music player? I hear it coming from you, but-" that's when he noticed that it was coming from their neck, and the black inner part of the golden V on their neck. "Whoah! You got loudspeaker on your neck?!"

@kaiju-crimson-storyandask

“Oh, y’ain’t seen nothin’ yet, amigo. It’s good to finally meet ya, Tabi.” Unfortunately, if Tabi ever wanted to find out the nature of V’s name, it would remain secret until they became close friends. They don’t exactly share their real name with just anyone.

The mercenary shifted their weight and used their chin to move a box, which was inching closer to the edge, back into place. That seemed to be the hardest part, strangle enough. Apparently the very obvious, V-shaped implant in the front of their neck was not for additional strength.

No. In fact, there are speakers on either side of the golden V. Filling in the inner part of the V is some sort of black leather-like material covering up what was no doubt whatever amount of their throat they had replaced.

“Actually, yeah. How much can ya carry without breakin’ your back? Most of this is for Oron and XD, some for Chai’s arm and his lil robo-cat friend, and the rest for me. Jus’ gotta drop these off in front’a their rooms… one moment.”

They shifted their attention towards where their and Nekuma’s room is. Their eyes glowed cyan before some music started playing. It was V’s voice singing the lyrics.

“There we go. Now we can tell where the last drop off is.”
