Making their way to the Food Court Area, Neku and Haru sat down awaiting some of the others. Eventually, everyone arrived including Roxy and Dora. Roxy however, still being shaken by her experience in the Water Park, with Toshiro looking to her with a raised eyebrow. "The fucks up with her?"

"She looks like shes just seen the devil personally." Dennis quivered. "Id be just as shaken if I was her quite frankly."

"...Please save the biblical talk for later. Yknow. Not here." Dora said bluntly, as Toshiro raised an eyebrow. "Huh, also done with his shit like me. Noted."

Neku looking around to survey the area, took note of everyone now here all except Nick who was at one of the food concession stands with Ayumu.

"Uhm..Could I just- have a Lemonade? Please?" She asked nervously, as Nick slammed his hands down on the counter determined. Startling Ayumu.

"...Can you tell me. ABOUT THE CRAZ•E BURGER?!" Nick shouted determined and ready for a challenge, as the robot on the other end spoke nonchalantly. "The CRAZ•E Burger is not for the faint hearted, and consists of two glazed doughnut buns, with a juicy burger patty in the middle. With cheese and bacon to match. This dish is most popular in America as a fair food."

"....What is wrong with Americans?" Nick asked worriedly.

"Everything." Evelyn called out, as Nick sighed. "One order of Poutine if possible?" The Robot complied. "This one is. On the house. Until. Monokitty and Monodog further establish use of your. Credits."

"...They- change the currency system or something?" Neku raised an eyebrow in confusion. Looking back to the others, he did a headcount. "13- ...fuck, wheres Kai?" Haru scratched her head in confusion. "Did he wander off?"

"Im here." Kai assured, approaching slowly before sitting down properly in one of the chairs. "Now. Shall we start our discussion of our finds? I have something important to attend shortly after this."

"Something more important than the personal safety of us all?" Dennis said, staring blankly and unsurprised.

"...It has something to DO with that." Kai spoke rather annoyed, as Aaron continued the conversation. "I say we trust in what Kais got in mind! Just a gut feeling hes onto something!"

"Consider it an observation on my end." Dennis spoke. "Anywho, I suppose I'll begin with my groups finds. All we found was a bunch of food stands and rides everywhere which wasnt much to go off. ..How useless."

"You finally say something I agree with?! What a fucking shock!" Toshiro said baffled as ever.

"We-well its not completely useless!" Ichigo attempted to reassure. "Rest assured, my partner Kenshiro and I managed to find many spare parts from the rides that have since been left to rot, and perhaps we can use them for an invention!"

"Aside from that though, yeah nothing really of use." Ryu spoke disappointed. "Though, Ichigo. Im curious what you might have in mind. Didnt you try making a radio or something?"

"...An attempt, yes, but! Fear not, with the new spare parts! I should be able to make something to get a signal out!" Ichigo said enthusiastically. "..If- all goes well, all things considered."

"Kenshiro think things will go well for himself and Friend Ichigo this time!" Kenshiro said enthusiastically.

"If it helps any, all my group found was. ...That very strange stageplay with a very creepy animatronic of me and- ...My characters friends on the show I run." Evelyn groaned. "Thank god I have nobody around to rub that in."

"It was rather uncanny." Milo admitted. "Then of course we found a Petting Zoo, all of which-" Ayumu interrupted. "Nick upset a family of Geese."

"I- I DID NOT!" Nick shouted in confusion. "They upset me by hissing at me for no reason!"
