"It's no problem at all...errm, Vegetto's wife." Cuki bowed her head in respect. "Maybe with you around he would have a bit more respect towards others. But let's all head inside so we can rest up and make proper formalities with one another."

Cuki left without waiting for a reply.

With all the group coming to terms with one another, relationships forming, and friends reuniting caused a small pain in Cuki's chest. She didn't understand the cause but sighed as she rubbed her head, still uneasy with the fight from earlier. She carefully made her way past everyone without uttering a word and opened the door to her apartment. Her gaze remained low and her spirits seems broken but she stretched her body in hopes no one would notice. 

As she entered her obviously bigger apartment she noticed a small child-like doll sitting on the coffee table. Cuki tilted her head and walked up to the toy and picked it up. The doll was very light, had long purple hair, a large pink and red bow tie on her neck and a lengthy flowing white dress. To top it off, the doll wore long white socks and black spots that would represent her shoes. It was cute for what it was.

"What this doing here?" Cuki said while checking the doll out. "I don't remember this doll in my house..."

Cuki turned to the group and wiggled the doll.

"Any one of you own this doll?"
 
Snow said "I don't know, but I know that I need a way to heal my family and purify Slayer. Otherwise he will just try to kill us all. It's not easy honestly, keeping him in check, but I have managed it, albeit at a high cost unfortunately."
 
Bernkastel stared at Kassava and Whis for a few moments. "...Husband? You mean you're married to this brute?" Bernkastel's aura in her eyes died down as quickly as it appeared. "Hm, I was a moment away from obliterating him where he stood after opening his mouth once more to mock me. But since you have intervened on his behalf, I will forgive his outburst just this once." Her eyes narrowed for a moment. "From the way you speak, I take it you two were watching the fight from afar then?" Her voice leveled out but her tail's tip flicked back and forth irritably, as she was still irritated by Vegetto's insubordinate behavior. "It's the first time I see anyone recognize each other here in the Vortex. Not even I would expect this odd event to occur... I wonder why?..."

She turned her gaze to stare at the doll. "It certainly isn't mine. Perhaps it fell in your apartment during the collapse and failed to go back to its original location when it rebuilt."
 
Kassava frowned instinctively at Cuki's response, straightening herself back out and watching her depart back into the apartment building. Her attention turned to Bernkastel, straightening herself out and following after her into the apartment building with the other two in tow.

"I am. We arrived in this realm about an hour ago, although I can't remember how exactly."

Her pointed glare returned as she turned her head towards Vegetto, who glanced away.

"But yes...we were watching him make a fool out of himself earlier. He tends to be a little selfish sometimes, and has a problem with common decency towards others when he doesn't get what he wants."

Whis glanced upwards, his face mostly flat but curiously staring up at the walls around and speaking with a warm, flat tone.

"This world is rather strange. I can feel a very peculiar air that hampers my own magical capabilities."

Once the others had made it to the apartment, Whis' eyes followed Cuki as she picked up the doll, while Kassava turned her had back to Bernkastel.

"Anyway...I'm sorry for his brashness and I'll make sure he doesn't act out again. My name is Kassava; I am the god of time for our universe."

She extended out her right hand with a small smile.

"Pleased to meet you."
 
More and more people appearing in Reality Vortex is causing the voice to become excited about the dimension. What really got to the voice was the bold statements from Bara and Brachi about finding a way to escape this place. "You might as well give up that pipe dream. Your friends are pretty much gone, but that motivation of yours. I can't wait to see the look on your face when...." the voice realized that everyone was heading towards the apartment complex. "H-hey! Don't ignore me!"

When Kassava offers confusion about how she has transported this place, a sentiment that all the newcomers are wondering, the voice simply chuckled. "Well, who knows? The best answer is that it simply grabs things and drag them into this world at random. Why it does it? Haha.~"

"Slayer? Sorry kid, but we got bigger problems than your friend here right now. And if you haven't heard, no one can die here anyway." Spina responded to Snow, but he seems to be agitated at Kassava, Whis, and another newcomer's arrival. As everyone headed towards the apartment complex, Spina simply stood there, checking out their appearances for a brief moment.

"Should not be surprised that Vegetto's world has a Whis... but God of Time? Just what this world needs, more damn Gods.." Spina looks up at the sky for a brief moment. "Now, there are nearly 10 new arrivals, all of them that happens to have some link between one another. This is rather strange and the voice seems to know more than he lets on. My options are pretty limited right now." He decided not to move from his spot for now and sat down. "The voice and Bernkastel... they're up to something."
 
"Looks like this little one belongs to no one." Cuki stared at the doll and shrugged. "I guess it will pay for a cute decoration." 

Cuki placed the little doll back on the table where it flopped over, unable ti sit properly. It confused Cuki because it was sitting perfectly fine when she found it but she left it alone and decided to keep herself away from the group. Her eyes scanned everyone in the distance she kept herself at and her frown only became more visible as she gazed at everyone. She silently slipped into a room which was mostly full of training equipment and yoga mats. It was only a single room but it looked about as big as an entire gym. 

Everyone seems to be connecting with their friends and loved ones... Cuki walked around the empty room. Yet my memories still remain hazy. Why return home if I don't remember anyone. It's the same as being here... 
 
The lich thinks "This group may be amusing to watch for a bit." the lich teleports with the voice. The lich summons a book and starts reading it as the other start to speek.
 
"Hoho, a god of time? Quite an ability to master." Bernkastel shook Kassava's hand politely. "I am Bernkastel, the Witch of Miracles. Pleasure to make your acquaintance." She walked over to examine the doll curiously as she spoke, fidgeting with it idly. "Yes, everyone's in quite a gloomy mood after that ordeal... I could use a pick-me-up myself. What to do now..."
 
Kassava nodded lightly as she shook hands with Bernkastel, letting her arm fall to her side once Bernkastel started inspecting the doll. She soon placed her hands on her hips, glancing around the apartment room with a frown.

"I suppose it has to do with that Doom guy. He did seem practically invincible."

Her head turned back to Vegetto, who leaned up against a nearby wall with his arms crossed in front of his bare chest. She looked him up and down once, sighed lightly, and narrowed her eyes.

"It also probably has to do with you being an ass to everyone again."

Vegetto scoffed.

"You're really just going to keep bring this up, aren't you?"

Kassava kept her glare.

"Yeah, I am. You fought like an idiot out there, and you nearly got everyone killed just because you couldn't wait for a few hours to get out of here."

Vegetto narrowed his own eyes.

"It's been a whole day, and I didn't tell you where I went. Why wouldn't I be worried?"

Kassava mockingly rolled her shoulders.

"I don't know, maybe because the universe isn't going to end if you're gone for a day?!"

Vegetto kept his glare strong, uncrossing his arms.

"That's not what I was worried about."

Kassava scoffed.

"Tsk...right, you didnt care about anyone else's safety. You just wanted to get out and didn't care who you pissed off to do it. So...now that we're all stuck here together and you won't be getting home to train anytime soon, how about you start being a little courteous to others and apologize for your recklessness."

Vegetto frowned.

"You seem to care a lot about what others think of you-"

Kassava' stern voice interjected before Vegetto could finish.

"And you don't seem to care enough. Now go on."

She nodded to the door where Cuki disappeared into.

"You can start with her; you probably made her cry with your loud mouth earlier."

Vegetto remained silent for a moment, his glare meeting Kassava's in an intense exchange for a few seconds. After a small silence, he finally strode closer to the door but came to a halt before reaching the hallway.

"I wasn't worried about my training or getting home. I just...wanted to see you again."

Kassava paused for a moment, before waving her right had forward.

"Yeah yeah, whatever. Just go apologize already."

Vegetto only moved forward after the command, heading up to the door while Kassava turned to her side, letting out an exasperated sigh and pinching the bridge of her nose with her right hand.

"Kami...what a pain."

Whis kept a small smile.

"He really did miss you though. I suppose being recklessness in concern for another is somewhat improvement."

=====================

Vegetto glanced down, reaching out and gently knocking on the door with his right fist on the knuckles, his dual voice flat.

"Hello? Are you in there...umm..."

He paused for a moment.

"...Cuki?"
