The Dating Sim

"Somnis is this the car driving Puppy you were talking about? My goodness too cute!" Morgan hugs and cuddles Dogachu. "Aww so fluffy and soft and dat face is way too adorable. Ohhhh I could just cuddle you forever."

The Cat Snakes hop out of the bag and just stare at each other and then look at Morgan and cross their arms.

Tab speaks up after looking at the group. "...Everyone's involved these days. I'm Tab. Now to make things simple and trustworthy, I'll let you know that we're here tonight to rescue a friend of ours from the other world. He was deliberately kidnapped and is trapped somewhere underground. We appreciate you showing us this new portal, but don't get in the way of our rescue mission. Unless you want to help. And, uh... do you need to walk your dog home or something?"

"Oh come on Tab look at the floofy mcwoff face how can we say no to that?" Morgan is busy snuggling Dogachu. "Besides he can drive cars so the other world is probably nothing for him. Besides its not like I ever secretly snuck in Bret or Meg before. Doggie woggie woffie woffie."

Julia speaks up aftwewards. "As Tab said, we are here to save a friend. You might also notice that Lance is with us today. That's because I switched place with him to save him from whom we thought was the murderer, which was in fact you trying to save him from us or something...We might have gotten a bad start, but I'm willing to see past it. After all... the friend we're trying to save did worse than throw sandwiches at me."

Oh no, why would they bring him back here? I put him there to keep him safe. Now we all might be in trouble.

Somnis picks up a cat snake and sets it on her shoulder while petting it. "I don't know if I can trust you. I know that there are murderers among you. I heard them talking about when they planned to kill Lance. I overheard their conversation. There was two of them, but...there might be more. All I know is that there are traitors in your group. Zack is definitely one of them. There was a girl too, but I don't know who she was." Somnis looks at both Morgan and Julia.

Those two...they're the most suspicious. Especially Morgan. I saw her kill Solaria in my dream. I can't explain that to them now though. They'll think I'm insane. But I know that's what I saw. And my dreams were always right before.

"So, that's what I know. I won't cause any trouble, but I will be watching you all very closely. I know one of you is the murderer." Somnis then breaks the serious and tense air by cuddling the cat snake on her shoulder and making happy sounds at it.

Lisa crosses her arms and looks the group over. "Alright, I guess we should head in then. Be careful. We don't know what's in this portal."

Everyone heads through the portal and into the other world. This place is really hot. The rocky ground beneath your feet feels especially warm. There are lava crags in the ground here and there and a large volcano stands above the party. "...That must be where we're going." Somnis takes the Cat Snake off her shoulder and hands it to Morgan. "Here, put him somewhere safe. They can't use Soul Keys like Dogachu." She then tosses Dogachu's Soul Key to him.

The others all activate their keys as well. Laura's hair turns white and her eyes turn gray. Her clothes change into a black and white checkered jacket with a white shirt and black pants. Two gauntlets appear around her hands as well. That's likely her weapon.

Tom's clothes change into a black and green cyber pattern shirt and pants and his sunglasses change to include some sort of scanning function. A handgun materializes in his hands.

Fox suddenly gains nine fox tails and his clothes shift to become red and white with a flame pattern. He's still got his red fur hood, but his clothes have changed color. He flicks his wrist and a shuriken pops out of his sleeve, into his hand.

Raine's clothes change into a beautiful red and green dress with roses on it. She even has a rose in her hair. A watering can appears in her hand as well.

Avel's lightning pattern clothes look mostly the same, but the lightning bolts become actual electricity that bzzts around him. A bow appears in his hand and appears to be electrically charged.

Lance's clothes shift into an entire suit of knight's armor and a lance and shield appear in his hands.

Mattea's clothes change into a fancy and stylish dress with an ornate design. A purple, spiked whip appears in one of her hands as she walks along.
