Jesse could only stare, Reuben oinking away in his lap.

This living room was fancy.

Like, REALLY fancy- fancy enough to be in some rich person's home. Stained glass windows, glowstone lamps, red carpet, bookshelves, several armchairs, and several couches. There was also a small glass coffee table in front of this machine on the wall, which looked like it was made of some sort of glass.

Jesse spotted a girl with long black hair that dangled down to the middle of her back and a golden pin keeping the hair out of her eyes, which were, oddly enough, the exact same color and shape as Jesse's. She wore blue dungarees and a white t-shirt with red sleeves. Her mouth was hanging open as she looked around.

In the corner of his eyes, Jesse could see Axel and Olivia sprawled on the floor, and Petra crouching on the floor with her jaw practically hitting the floor.

The girl spotted him looking at her and turned to look at him more clearly, her own eyes slightly wide. "Uh... hi. Do you... know where we are?" she asked, tentatively, still crouched on the floor.

Jesse shook his head. "No... I don't think we've met?" He trailed off questioningly.

"Oh," and she shakily got to her feet and walked over, before she stretched out her hand to shake hands with him. "I-I'm Jesse."

"Oh, wow, that's my name," Jesse said, grinning slightly at the girl.

She let out her own little laugh, green eyes crinkling up the way his did whenever he laughed or smiled. "Wow, coincidence, huh? D'you mind if I call you Jace? You know, so it's less confusing. Like, 'hi Jesse, I'm Jesse'." She said this in a hokey voice that made Jesse laugh. "Not at all. Hi, Jesse- my name's Jace. Pleasure to meet you."

"Likewise," she joked back, before crossing her arms and looking around as he got to his feet. "Do you know how we got here? I was just kinda minding my own business, and then- poof!" she waved her hands a bit. "I'm here."

"Yeah... I don't know how we got here either..." 'Jace' hummed thoughtfully, crossing his arms and narrowing his eyes at the floor. He heard a crash from behind him, and twisted around to see-

The two of them exchanged faintly shocked looks.

The Ocelots were in a heap on the floor, trying to disentangle themselves from their little pile. Lukas stood a little off to the side, looking shell-shocked and not helping because of his shell-shocked look. Behind them was a young woman who looked remarkably like Jesse- the girl, not Jace- with long black hair and green eyes, wearing a fancy-looking gold dress and hugging a little white chicken with a crown to her chest. A man with darker skin and an outfit that looked like he was part of some sort of guard was scrambling to his feet behind her, and a little off to the side was another man, but this time with messy blonde hair and a gray shirt.

Off to the side of them was a girl with rose-red hair and glasses, her own green eyes wide as she stared at the group who'd landed in a heap in front of her- A boy with blue hair, a girl with a blue and white striped shirt and brown hair, another girl with bubblegum-pink hair and clear blue eyes, a boy wearing an orange cat hoodie, and a man with darker skin, black hair, and a pair of red glasses. They were having better luck than the Ocelots at disentangling themselves.

A bit behind them was a woman with dark skin and long white hair that was twisted into braids, her gray eyes wide with shock as she stared around at everyone, hands tightening on her brown robes and her aviator-sort of hat, goggles pushed up so that they rested on top of the hat. Behind her was a man with a shock of white hair himself, black glasses perched on his nose and a brightly colored purple suit. Not far behind was another man with white hair and green robes, and a woman with a shock of pale blue hair and blood-red robes. Now that Jace looked closer, she had murky cyan eyes.

Not far from this group was a girl whose size gave AXEL a run for his money with brown hair and a green jumpsuit, and another girl in a green jumpsuit, but with blonde hair and blue eyes, beads clicking around in her blonde hair. Behind them were three extremely burly people that were MUCH bigger than even Axel. One had darker skin and a black-themed outfit, another had a shock of neon pink hair and way too much eyeliner, and the last one looked as though he'd had his face put through a meat grinder or something.

"Magnus?"

Jace heard Axel give a high-pitched sort of gasp, and twisted to see-

His eyes widened at the sight of Magnus the Rogue in all his green-armored glory, his trademark black mask covering his face. He blinked at the sight of the brown-haired woman next to him, who was gaping at him in pure shock. "Ellie?" He twisted to see another man with diamond-encrusted armor. "Gabriel?"

"Soren?"

Soren, Magnus, Ellegaard, and Gabriel all gaped at the man with long black hair and dark blue eyes who was staring at them as if he'd seen a ghost. "Ivor?"

"Wow," Petra breathed, snapping out of her shocked pose, "wow! The Order of the Stone? What are they doing here?" Unbeknownst to her, she'd just voiced Jace's own unsaid thoughts.

"And how do they know this 'Ivor' guy?" Olivia wondered as she got to her feet.

There was a collective clearing of throats, and they turned around again to see all of the various groups staring at each other in shock, confusion, and suspicion.

Jesse cleared her throat authoritatively, making everyone look at her and making her shrink back a step. "Um... hi. Maybe we should clear some stuff up...?"
