Yoko
The hot spring room is a medium sized with a large steaming hot spring in the center. Directly in front of the door, there is a set of stairs leading down into the slightly moving water. Even though the room itself is filled with steam none seems to escape into the main hall.
Iris
The banana tastes how you would expect one to taste and does not appear to be made of any material you would not expect one to be made out of. After you concentrate for a while you turn to see a corner of the room now contains an oven with a stove unit on top and a short shelf with a rice cooker resting on it.

Shossk doesn't bother searching this room. He turns around, notices the door to the hot spring room had been checked, and instead strides over to one of the glassy-screened contraptions, the one with the coin symbol.

The banana checked out, and so did the option of creating a kitchen in case anyone preferred to cook their own food. Iris sat upon the chair for a few seconds more as she finished eating her banana, pondering over whether or not she should imagine more food into existence for the others. By the time she was left with but a peel, she had concluded that as she knew practically nothing about their individual tastes, especially that of the least human of them, it was better if they came in and imagined their own food.
Tossing the banana peel into the infinite wastebasket on the way out, Iris stepped out to see all the doors but the field door opened. The door that had an onsen symbol looked like it contained some sort of cloud, a result of all the steam that did not drift into the hallway, and she could see tiny peeks of the contents of the other rooms through their open doors (OOC: I'm assuming that's how these doors work). Of what she could see, nothing contradicted what she expected from each symbol.
Despite all doors being open now, only Shossk was to be seen, fiddling away at one of the computers. How ironic that Iris had left the computers to be handled by the more technologically inclined of the group and yet the lizardman, who looked like he had stepped out of a Dungeons and Dragons game, was the first to inspect one. Well, if even medieval high fantasy man was on it, Iris had no excuse to hold it off any longer. Iris stepped to the most interesting terminal in her opinion, the one with a simplified version of AL's face. She... uh... fiddled with it and stuff.

There's even an onsen in here... Yoko walked down the steps leading into the onsen until she was on the last step that wasn't submerged, then lent down to get a closer look at the water. Carefully changing her grip on her Remoraid, Yoko took off her right hand glove and stuck it in the water to test the temperature, expecting it to be warm.

Layl wiped away the final tears from her eyes, nodding to herself as she accepted that it would take too much time to stop at every Keyblade. She stood up, patting herself off from the dirt from the floor. Layl looked over at the fox...she couldn't just keep calling it that. It needed a name, and with that color scheme it certainly reminded her of heartless...but what do heartless remind her of? The night and shadows, for the most part. So, how about...."Nacht?"
The fox's ears perked up and it turned it's eyes towards Layl's face, it seemed the little one had fallen asleep waiting for Layl. She smirked at the little thing, kneeling down and opening her arms. "Come here, Nacht!" The little kit ran over and jumped into her arms, snuggling closer into her grasp. The kit had a look on it's face that showed some amount of satisfaction, as if it was saying 'finally'. Layl let out a laugh at the little fox's cuddling, it's fur tickling her. After a moment of content with the fox, letting the sadness fade away, she stared around the room. It couldn't be the actual place, this wasn't the battlefield she had left behind. She stared up at the sky, wondering if she would see Kingdom Hearts in the sky as she called out "Al? What is this place?"

Shossk
The device’s round screen sits atop a circular pillar about 4 feet tall that appears to be connected to the floor as if it had been molded from it. The top is slanted at a 45-degree angle that faces toward the center of the room. Upon or perhaps inside the apparatus’s vitreous surface a multitude of colors seem to flow rippling and shifting seemingly at random. Within the cascade there are several dozen tiny objects that seem to move with the current. There is one that appears to be one of the summoning spheres, another seems to be a bottle that is grey and purple in coloration, a deep green cloak, A box with a red cross upon it, a large canvas tent, a pile of herbs, A small red capsule. Even as you watch new symbols swim into view and old ones you hadn’t focused on vanish into the cascade. All of them seem to face you as they dance, seemingly waiting for your input.
Iris
Iris steps up to another of the pillar devices. This one also swims with ever shifting color but it bears only one image within, the smirking face of AL. When she presses it a highly synthesized and gravely variant of AL’s voice emerges from within the machine. “Yeah? Whadda ya want?”
Yoko
The water is indeed warm, perfectly invitingly so. It seems to pull at Yoko’s cares, leeching them from her body.
Layl
A series of images flash through Layls head. A pair of people facing off in a red rock canyon both them and their companion creatures locked in combat, another image shows someone stretched out resting enjoying the cool breeze in a land of rolling green, a group of people splash water at one another in a refreshing lake as someone in the background going for a long swim, someone stands somberly in front of an empty city, an athlete navigates a complex obstacle course, a quiet figure meditates in an endless field of white and many others.

Shossk has to hunch over to get a clearer view of the strange pedestal. The items swirl about, Shossk recognizing the provisions and travel supplies. He glances towards the 'AL' pedestal as Iris walks in and starts fiddling with it, eliciting a verbal response. Turning back to his own screen, Shossk decides to try the same.
He takes a large finger and pokes the deep green cloak.

Once the cloak is pressed all the other images flow off the screen and a new batch flows on. All of them appear to be clothing objects of some sort. They function much as the previous batch did, objects that are ignored will eventually disappear to be replaced by new ones. Shossk notices that a deep red arrow has appeared in the lower left of the screen, no matter how much it is ignored it does not move.

Being the only non-moving object on the screen and thus drawing the most attention, Shossk pokes the red arrow.

All of the objects on screen except the green cloak once again flow away and are replaced by the original batch. The red arrow can no longer be seen.

Shossk blinks, then pokes the green cloak again, presumably bringing the selection of clothing items into view. He then pokes the green cloak a second time, ignoring the red arrow.

The green cloak expands until it almost fills the screen, underneath it there is a paragraph of text. On the right side, a number appears as well as a strange symbol of the letters AL with a dash through them. Directly below the screen, a thin hole opens up in the pillar.

Shossk leans in a bit closer, eyes scanning the text with no understanding. Lianna had attempted to teach Shossk so that he would at least be able to read Common, but there had been little progress beyond him learning the difference between letters and numbers.
So instead, Shossk looks down at the new hole in the pedestal. He draws an arrow from his quiver and attempts to insert it into the hole.

Layl held her head with one hand as the info pours in. It will take sometime to get used to that. So, this was a place where people...imagined their surroundings? Layl wasn't really sure but she focused on the rolling hills and lakes from before, adding in a beautiful white castle with many towers in the background, and the night sky illuminating it. She needed to be sure after all, and imagining scenery could confirm that. She waited a moment, focusing on the image and making it clearer in her head before opening her eyes expecting to see some change.

Shossk
The arrow enters the slot about 3 inches and then stops, you feel it hitting a wall no matter how you fiddle with it.
Layl
The scene goes dark as the keyblades melt back into the ground below. One by one stars begin to pop into being high above, slowly at first and then in a great torrent of light washing across the sky. Finally, a crescent moon spins into reality high above. The flat dryness slowly begins to bloom as green buds sprout and spring into full turf. She can feel the ground shift and change as hills and valleys form. A slight trickle of water can be heard as the lakes flow back into place. A grinding of stone signals the castle coming into being far off, after a short while the windows flare to life showing its location.

Not seeing a way to progress any further with this pedestal, Shossk moves over to poke at the pedestal with an image of a summoning stone on it. Perhaps this one won't require the user to be literate.
He leaves the arrow sticking out of the coin pedestal.

Right now, there was a lot of things Iris wanted, and presuming this was some way to communicate with AL, then there a whole flood of questions she wanted the answer to. However, she didn't get ahead of herself. After all, presumptions weren't always right. She asked, "Let's start with, what do you do? And by you, I mean this terminal with something like your face floating in it."

Oh wow, that's really nice, Yoko shivered in delight at how perfectly warm the water was, already feeling her worries wash away just from having her right hand in the water. As she watched the water ripple ever so slightly she contemplated going for a soak to help clear her mind, and the longer her hand stayed submerged, the more inviting that idea became. She glanced back at the door as she bounced the idea around in her head, and ultimately decided to go for it. She took her hand out of the water and straightened herself up, then walked back to the door and closed it. They wouldn't mind if I soak for a few minutes, right? Pushing how the others would feel about her going for a dip aside, Yoko turned back to the onsen and walked around the room to see if there was a place she could store her clothes.

Shossk
This pillar's screen looks similar to the last one, except it has only two images on it. One is a creature similar to the fox creatures that two of your teammates received, it has orange back fur and tan belly fur with black stripes. The other image is a large red cross on a white circle.
Iris
The voice continues with its heavily processed tone. "This Kiosk is for questions and requests." The face icon on the screen swaps with one that has a petulant frown. "Is that all ya wanted? If so then scram."
Yoko
The door clicks shut as Yoko closes it. When she looks to her left she sees a short row of storage lockers she must not have noticed before.

<So it is questions, huh?> Iris confirmed as she thought, her foot tapping idly. So many questions, but she did her best to limit herself. What did she want to know first? Well, it was obvious, <Are my friends okay?>. Yep. That was the most important, but also the least useful as a question, in some aspects. She didn't mean the other humans and their Pokemon. She believed they were fine. She had to, or else she wasn't sure if she could perform acceptably. However, it was so much harder to believe that her own Pokemon were fine. In her world, it had always an unspoken rule that Pokemon followed wherever their trainer went, unless arranged otherwise.
On one hand, Iris found asking about her friends to be utterly useless. She didn't trust AL enough to not give her a false sense of security, a fake image.
On the other hand, she was dying to know a hint, a clue, something. She would have attempted a divination, even if she didn't have anything of her friends, but she knew that she could only divine so many times in one day. It would be best to wait until night to divine about the condition of her traveling partners.
It would have been a lot more useful to ask about a way back or about the mysterious door. However, in the end, Iris asked, "How are all the people who were stranded on the island with me doing? All the kids, adults, and their Pokemon? Did they make it back home? Do they remember anything about what happened on the island? Most importantly... where are my Pokemon?.. and while I'm at it, this Pokemon you gave me... what is it?". Well, that certainly was a mouthful. Iris didn't mean for it to be that long. It just kept on growing once she started.
