Paprika: Not sure about scallops, but Melyssa had informed me about grilling littleneck clams with bacon. Basil, why are your spraying yourself?

Basil: Are herbs not produce?

Paprika: No, but bell peppers are. *Basil sprays him*

"In the schools of Japan, the students become the custodians."

Platinum: Whatever you say, Shang Tsung. I hear you like to experiment on people, have I got the perfect mon for you. *grabs the man in the golden garbs* Step into my lab, yours reminds me of a haunted house. *gags, drags Shang off*

Johnny: *guiding Thyme* You can cite both the Netherrealm Studios, and Warner Brothers for the Kombatants. And...you are clear.

Thyme: Weird question; Does your car have a name?

Johnny: Sonya. *chuckles* I'm just kidding. *nudges Thyme*

Cumin: So, Li Mei is technically the cop of Outworld. You know if she drinks coffee, Kitana?

Kitana: Not really. Again, I am truly sorry for attacking that green figure. I didn't know he was your caretaker.

Cumin: *places her upper hand on Kitana's shoulder* Apology accepted. Basil approached you first, and they can be arrogant. Where did you learn that "Kiss of Death?"

Kitana: It was a Fatality moves, used as a last resort.

Gladys: *opens the double door* We've managed to stop the vomiting. Tsumiki had to place Basil in a medically induced coma to halt further deterioration.

Liu: I have reassured Gonta Gokuhara I do not intend to harm his bug friends. Mind if we take you back home, Cumin Cinnakin?

Cumin: No, and lose the "Cinnakin," my sibling and I have a strained connection with our first caretaker.

[They all leave the Infirmary. A strong aroma of taco meat greets them as they enter the Skits.]

Belladonna: Look, *jabs a talon at Liu and Kitana* Fire and Acid.

Snapdragon: Belladonna, they feel bad.

Cumin: Li Mei was a teacher?

Johnny: Woah. Don't know who this Masaru is, but they sure got spunk.

Snapdragon: Tanya a bodyguard?

Kitana: She comes from a long line of bodyguards, born from the first daughters of each family.

Snakeweed: *points at a female humanoid in purple, contrast to Kitana in blue; they silently hiss*

Kitana: That is Mileena, Empress of Outworld, and my sister.

[The older Residents instinctively turn and bow at Mileena's direction.]

Mileena: At ease, Otherworlders.

[From a distance, Byakuya beckons Cumin to him, she skitters to him.]

Byakuya: *gritting his teeth* What have you imbeciles done to Mintkin?

Cumin: They've taken in a toxic substance, it was an accident.

☆ Mad Hatter day
☆ German-American day
☆ Noodle day 🍜
☆ Smile day 😃 😁
☆ Manufacturing day
☆ Plus Size Appreciation day
☆ Badger day
☆ Body Language day
☆ Coaches day

Belladonna: Miss Mileena, can we see your smile?

Mileena: I must warn you, young ones, my infliction has greatly affected my physical appearance. *lowers her purple mask, revealing a widespread mouth filled with rows of jagged teeth*

[The Elder Memories are awestruck.]

Belladonna: Whoa, you've got us beat. *taps a tooth spike on the side of her left jaw*

Mileena: What's with them? *points at Genesis, who is reaching out for her*

Synth: *picks up Genesis, props them on their hip* Do not mind Gen, they have not seen such alluring eyes. Are there more?

Mileena: Yes. Baraka!

[A muscular humanoid male, bald with a similar assortment of teeth as Mileena, stomps their way, growls at the Elder Memories.]

Genesis: Eef! [Teeth!]

Synth: Yes, teeth. Mind if we ask of your infliction?

"Tarkat."

Snapdragon: They pour tar on cats?

Belladonna: No. My guess is it grows sharp teeth and splits the mouth.

"It reduces those affected to mindless beasts. How are you not afraid?"

Snakeweed: *thoroughly examines their extremities, shrugs*

Snapdragon: We all weird here.

Belladonna: And we've seen your story, where the Empress of Edenia had gone out of her way to extend her compassion to the Tarkatians.

Snapdragon: Liu made it better.

Belladonna: This may not be his timeline, not entirely. Right, Mr. Watteye?

[Watteye fidgets with his hands, turns away from Baraka, and nods.]

Orla Copperclaw

The pygmy Neuronake with the fascination for bells (No, she is not my half-sibling). She is red with tinseled stripes, and green eyes, wields a scepter in one upper hand, and a tambourine in another.

On her spare time, Orla embeds her bells onto the necks of tinseled Spigons (kind of like Memoria, except less limbs).

She had taken in the Musician who plays rock. She contributes to their disarray.
