Chell frowns slightly when she hears the light say her name, tilting her head quizically before carefully walking over to the tree and looking around it, spotting a small... candle thing... with a strangely familiar hea- CUBE!
Chell tackles the candle... and grabs it in a hug, twirling around exuberantly while smiling broadly.

Sure it was talking but maybe this world had trickier Poes. Well at least Chell, was taking the threat seriously and why was she hugging it? "Cube?" Midna sputters, dumbfounded. Chell had to know the sprite or else she wouldn't be hugging it. She looks around but doesn't see anyone else new. "So...it's not a Poe..."

Luckily both Chell and the light have the foresight to be close to the ground before the tackle hug, and Chell rolls on the ground with her hug-partner. It's a small candle with an adorable face, and it's little flame is in the shape of a heart. When the rolling stops, it beams and smiles.
"HiChell!YoulookweirdbutIknewyou'dbeherecauseyourmycompanionandwegottasolvethispuzzletogetherlikealways!Yaaaaayhugs!"

Chell laughs as Cube chatters on a mile an hour, happy to be reunited with her best friend. She gets up somewhat clumsily, still holding on tightly to Cube, not willing to let it go anytime soon. She beams at Cube and gives him another squeeze, before nodding. Together, they'd solve whatever puzzle they had to, she knew this for certain.

The Companion cube candle chatters on a mile a minute about his adventures on the island after portaling in after being dropped into the furnace back during your first run of Apature.
(Chell got her first companion! Litwick Male, Level 5, whatever nature and ability you'd like! 1/10th hp remaining after Midna's blast)

Could this body even manage sarcastic clapping? Oh, how Hura missed being able to clap sarcastically. Or at all. It didn't even have to be two sets of clappers, but self-accompaniment was always a fun effect... Just, blasted stubby arm-things. How did this creature even survive?! Your head wasn't supposed to be this freakishly huge.
Anyways, what was going on again? Right, fiery creature, knew Chell, and... Well, it might have been able to natter on faster than even he! At least Chell had knocked him over, too. Ignoring that one of those was spiteful, and the other was a hug. Oh, well~
"Hee, hee! It looks like you made a friend, bunny! Aren't you gonna introduce us?" Oh, how much more dramatic that could have been...!

Too enthralled with her...friend. Midna crosses her little arms. She answers Hura with a small amount of venom sneaking into her words, "If her shouting is anything to go by it's name is Cube. Seems a foolish name to me for obvious reasons. And this is hardly a puzzle Cube. Whoever stole us has some grand plan to use us and I doubt puzzles factor into it." She still didn't have a good idea why they had been taken but really, who grabbed people to do puzzles? It just didn't make sense.

"...Cube? Well, maybe cubes are really strange in their world; like cylinders. Oh, or maybe he was a cube way back when. I'm pretty sure those candle things are supposed to melt...", Hura replied, his volume dropping toward the end. After watching the newly reunited duo for a moment, he asked, "...ah, so~ Do we just let them, do their thing...? Or let'em catch up when they're done? I get the feeling that Cube can go on for hours if it wants to."

"Chell hasn't had any issue with keeping up with us before. Let's keep moving. We're wasting daylight."

Chell simply lets Cube talk, a content smile on her face as she listens to his adventures. Once he's finished, she turns to Midna, still smiling broadly. "I'm sorry for that outburst, it's just... Cube was the only real friend back at... where I was before. We met up when I was still under full control of ... her, and he helped me out. We got... split up some point later, but I came across a few like Cube... they didn't last long..." She looks down for a moment, before looking up, happy and determined. "But now we've found each other again, and we're not gonna be stopped. We're gonna make whoever brought us here regret the day they took me."
Cube, meanwhile, is following Chell's expressions along, looking down when she does and twirling around in joy when she looks all determined. Then, he seems to have had enough of that, and floats up to Midna. "Hi!I'mCube!What'syourname?AreyouafriendofChell?You'resosmall!Areyougoodatjumping?Chell'sareallygoodjumper!" he talks excitedly, at a rapid pace, as Chell simply looks at him smiling fondly. The poor thing had been an inanimate cube for who knows how long? Let him speak now that he could.

Midna couldn't blame Chell for wanting to keep thing hidden. The explanation was good enough but it still didn't explain Cube's odd name. She pulls a slightly unsettling grin, "Whoever did this will pay. But we do need to get..."
The words have hardly passed her lips before she is bombarded by a veritable cascade of verbal queries. The smile drops from her face as they just keep going. "I am not normally this short!" She snaps at the tiny candle, "I mean I was but not," She takes a sharp intake of breath. Hadn't she felt bad about striking it earlier? Right, focus. Home. She grits her teeth, "Sorry. About that and before," Midna can hardly force the words out but keeps going, "I'm Midna and, since we're all trying to escape, I guess that would make us friends." She pauses, "Right...wasting time. We should head out. Unless someone else wants to jump out of the trees..."

The trees don't respond. In fact, they can't! Why, would you ask? Because they are PLANTS?
Hahahhaa. No.
It's because the trees are no longer there, silly!
None of you remember the transition, in fact it seemed like on instant you were in the forest, and the next you weren't! It seems the grassy plain you were sleeping in is still there, but now a very small circle in a black void. The island is gone. EVERYTHING is gone.

"What on Earth..." Frank takes a moment to gather his wits in the impending gloom of darkness all around them. He tries to pinpoint anything in the bleak landscape that is different from anything else, including overhead. "I don't suppose this is the work of your new friend, Chell?"

Plodding out to the edge of their little patch of grass, and peering curiously over the side, Hura let out a long, overly dramatic " HMMM!" while staring at the abyss. Would it stare back? Was it, perhaps, an illusion caused by one of his many, many... manymany many enemies, come to devour the great Hura in their weakened state? Probably not, woulda been easier to just eat the little bug outright, Hura figured. So, nothing to fear from the blackish expanse surrounding them. Probably. Of course, if the perspective offered by such a pathetic form led to a misjudging of the distance to any edge of the plain beyond which was a deep, dark mystery, well~ He could make do staring out into the space that one couldn't jump in unless they were a fluffy angry bunny friend.Occult Education, go!

Chell merely shakes her head, pushing Cube behind her as she walks closer to the edge and looks down. Focus: 4TiVXq4E4d6 4d6

The sudden change in scenery catches Midna by surprise. Not so much the view itself, just the sudden switch. Her small face scrunches as she tries to figure out just what happened. Annoying though he was, Cube didn't seem like the type to suddenly warp them to, well, anywhere. She goes ahead and quietly asks the obvious, while studying the almost familiar void, "So where are we now?"Focusing! MTF_fAXl3d6 3d6

"It would appear the host of our game takes offense to outbursts or happiness." Freya sighed.
She beat her wings and shook her head. "There's not going to be any scouting from me here. No air to fly with."2d6

"Clearly, whoever brought us here is immensely powerful. Whenever they arrive, be on your best behaviors. No need for one of you to feel the need to rebel and get us all killed." Frank gives Chell the sideeye.
