Ponysona 4, the Campaign.

"True, you got a point... And I guess I am being paranoid. But we've got Shio's voice, the one out of ALL of us who knows the most about this realm, did seem to yell at them. Therefore I assume they're some level a threat or at least something he doesn't wish to deal with. So I'm still saying it'd be better to avoid these "kids" I would assume." Zeela said with a sigh. "And you are in a non-normal realm, you assume too much to think that they're totally safe. Just cause they sound like foals. We just fought some living shadows... I'm willing to bet ANYTHING here could end up being something trying to kill us, it wouldn't shock me to find that out. We're not in equestria after all... We're in someplace else after all. A darker realm... And by the way, last time I saw a darker side of our world... I ended up betraying a god..." At this point Zeela started to cry as she recalled her greatest failure...

"Zeela. We weren't in Equestria before either." Brash comments. Though what point he's trying to make isn't particularly clear.

"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!" Zeela yells as she cried.

"More that this day of weirdness is wearing thin on me..." Zeela mutters with a light chuckle at Brash's comment.. "And the whole not really having any clue what's going on is just not a feeling I like, or handle that well it seems. Lost my eye and gained this red one because of not knowing last time..."

"Oh. I'm pretty used to not really knowing what's going on." as if on cue one of his helper bots flew out of one of his belt pouches and embedded itself in the ceiling shortly before shorting out with a sorrowful little electronic noise.

"That explains why you don't seem to bucking care that a teammates going a tad crazy, and freaking out... Hay, I'm not even sure how much sanity I had when left I got to Neghpon..." Zeela sighs.

"Well, more like I don't really know what to do about it. Shiro, do you have any tips for how I should help you calm down?" Brash asked, trying to cheer the kid up.

"My apologies for bringing up bad memories, Zeela. My bad." Icing gives a small head-bow in her direction. He disagreed with her, which was odd considering this was all a dream, usually people get along in his dreams, unless it was one of those ones... Regardless he disagreed: This world has so far shown internal logic. This was no non-euclopian realm of eldar gods. Villains were so far all black-themed, unspeaking even in their death throes, and somewhat boneless in nature, both the tentacles and the mayas. There was no reason to believe this trend would be bucked, meaning things capable of vocalization are not yet enemies.

His offer to help was out, and he would not rescind it, but he would not give it again with deference to the logic of "the guide has an adverse reaction to their voices". That made sense, and fit within the rules.

"If you need to talk it out, I've got an ear to spare. If you don't, well, I'll treat you to some iced cream when we get back. Everypony likes iced cream."

"Did you hear that Shiro!? Iced cream! Awesome!" Brash said, proclaiming his love of iced cream (and possibly sparing a thought for trying to cheer up the kid.... though.... probably not).

"Ice cream's alright... Not really a fan of it, but don't hate it either, I gotta admit." Zeela said with a shrug, she wasn't a big ice cream fan. "And I only really care for the villiana flavor, when I have some. Still it's nothing that special..."

((Now I love ice cream and Villiana Bean is my favorite flavor.... But Zeela I feel like playing off as being more having strong feeling for it either way overall.))

Zeela just pulls out her potions making stuff seeming that everyone was stoping for the moment, and she figured that it'd help calm her down... "Mmm.... This vial has fire inside of it." She mutters to herself. "And fire would be helpful to keep ourselves safe from the shadow maya things... Mmm..." Then she started to quickly work on a brew. "Well I've done crazier potions with less of any idea what I'm doing... Lets see if this flirebreathing potion goes anywhere."

George watches the start of this and starts to unpack the burn cream and some more bandages.

Shiro glances at the staircase at the end of the hallway, gulping. "We don't have much time..."

"The end of the hallway..." He turns to you, coughing. "And it's been about five."

"I'm done with my potion..." Zeela said as she then adds a drop of the Vial of Fire. "and if this works, you'll find it was a good idea to have done so." And with that she drinks her crazy potion then starts burps up fire. "See? Awesome... Wonder how long this'll last... Well regardless... Now we've at least got a minor fire power to help avoid some fights or something."

(OOC: And now Zeela has her Fireborn racial... Hope that was fine to play it off like that.)

"Talk about heartburn." Icing nods to Shiro. "Alright White, let's go then. We can scurry a bit if it starts to get close."

Zeela nods and starts to take the lead, heading off were they were heading getting ready to use her new fireball skill to hopefully scare off any more maya's away.

Brash follows right behind her... and then passes her and slows down and starts more or less orbiting her.

Zeela, wasn't sure what to think of Brash at this point... Sure she respected his combat skills, and he clearly has his heart in the right place... But he was also unable to have helped while she had her own little freak out from hearing those voices assuming them to be a threat, and nobody believed that she had a point... I mean come on, when your in a weird realm with next to zero understanding, it's better and wiser to assume the worse, assume it's a threat until shown it's harmless and friendly. To err on the side of coseon is the only right way to do things until we know more. She couldn't understand why that Ice-Cream man wasn't treating things seriously. At least Brash was trying... So she overall liked him more then she thought first of him when the had meet earlier. She felt some level of respect for him... The rest of this group, she isn't totally sure what to think of them. Other then Shio needs help and she's going to do anything she can to help keep that foal safe.

You guys walk up the stairs, Shiro shivering as he does so, and once you reach the top a large door stands in front of you. Shiro pushes the door slowly and yelps as ropes grab him by the legs, dragging him into the room and his own voice laughs loudly.
"Aw, welcome back! Tired of always being dragged everywhere? Tired of your friends pulling you one way and your parents pulling you another?

Arcana Check:

At seeing Shiro being dragged again, Zeela tries to quickly brew a fire potion to throw at the wherever the ropes were dragging Shiro too...
