Vix looked around at the people surrounding her. They seemed just about as confused as she was, excluding the monochrome one that had just introduced themself as Loir.
"You can call me Vix. Do you know where we are? You look like your from here." Vix asked Loir.
The creature's ears perked up, one swiveling forward, the other resting back. Voices, she could hear several, and they sounded nearby. Eve lifted her head, blue eyes coming to land upon a group further away. None of them the creature recognized, none of the scents familiar to her. Like her master and herself though, a few of them seemed to actually have 'color' compared to the bland contrast of blacks, grays, and whites.
Her wings fluttered against her back, her small form moving up and down ever so slightly as she continued to stand on Ragnor's chest. Her head turned back to look at him, noticing he had closed his eyes again. Eve laid her ears back, noticing he seemed to slip back into a light sleep. Seemed she was on her own here.
Now, she didn't want to leave him just laying in the field here, but the creature also didn't want to leave his side. The small fae-like familiar gave a soft chirrup, ears laid back. She couldn't help but feel sorry for the man, feeling that it was her fault they had now ended up in some strange, alien world. If only she hadn't tried to move that heavy box by herself…
The creature lifted her blue eyes upwards, looking over the plants that surrounded them. Yes, they were in a field, probably growing some kind of harvestable crop. They should just be like the ones in her world, with a bit of magic and a gentle voice, the plant life should listen…hopefully.
The small thing rested her paws lightly on her master's chest, a soft, green glow emitting from her form. A few words of an unknown origin were whispered softly under breath. At first, the plants around swayed, unsure, but then eventually, the grayish plants moved.
The stems and leaves entwined against one another, creating a makeshift cocoon of sorts, covering the dozing male. Eve would rather keep him hidden for the time, well, protected in a way, till she was sure these strangers meant no harm. A few well placed pats of her paws, checking the structure, then her wings lifted her upwards off the ground.
Her small form flitted closer to the group of strangers. Eve's ears swiveled back and forth, listening intently to the conversation happening. Seemed a few of these others were also randomly transported into this strange world. So far, only 2 of the individuals introduced themselves, a horned female called 'Vix', and the other, a stranger that seemed to be dressed in the drab monochromatic colors reflecting this strange place. They had called themselves 'Lior'.
As for the other pair, they had said not a word of their names. One, the young female, seemed to be in search of another girl. Then the other, a male with a dog by his side, asked the question most likely all of them were wondering. Where was 'here'?
Eve simply continued to hover in the background, listening quietly to the conversation between the strangers. More likely to learn more by listening, unless someone or something noticed her. Which wasn't unlikely, being a soft green color against a gray/white/black background.
Lior was glad to answer the question, especially since a few of the others were wondering as well.
"I am actually! Well, not this area specifically. This is a field on the outskirts of town. I can show you the way there if you want." Lior explained, not very cautious about offering such a thing to a stranger. She and the others definitely weren't from here. He was more concerned that they might need help rather than if it was safe. Speaking of the others Lior looked over at them and waved. They all seemed fairly confused, which was understandable considering he was too. He gave Vix his usual smile, though his brows furrowed in question as he looked at her.
"Can I ask how all of you got here? This has never happened during a loop before."
Vix joined Lior in staring at the confused group of people. "Honestly, I have no idea. I don't really remember too much before I woke up either. The last thing I can remember was a drinking competition against some thick headed douche at a bar." She said with a shrug. "You mentioned a loop, what exactly is that?"

"Loop what?" Isabelle looked confused. "I… was looking for Kat… heck, I got sidetracked, I should go back to trying to find her…"
Her eyes bounced all over the place, hoping to spot even the smallest of movements that could belong to Kat. "…none of you have seen a 16 year old asian girl around here? Her name's Kat…"
Adie looked around, his eyes flicking over everything and everyone and putting them into different boxes and categories. "I had fallen asleep in my bed, than me and King were here. No magic doors in wardrobes or anything, just sleep." He pursed his lips, fingers tapping on the side of his leg where he had placed it.
Lior couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at their stories. They were all so different, with no rhyme or reason for their sudden appearance. He was at a loss in explaining it when he hadn't noticed anything out of place recently. One thing he could explain was the loops, though Lior almost asked why they were confused about it. It took a moment to realize it might not be normal wherever they were from.
"The same events happen here over about a month, and once those events happen it just sort of.. repeats?" He paused, trying to think of anything he should mention, "The world here gets destroyed at the end but everything goes back to normal after. We just call them loops. I think there are about three weeks left on this one."
As he finished the short explanation he glanced up at the sky. It was about noon right now, he shouldn't be in too much of a rush. Lior had a few hours before he was expected anywhere.
"I can offer some help if needed. I haven't seen anyone besides you but I'm sure if this Kat you're looking for is anywhere she'd head that way." Lior pointed off to the left, where the forms of small buildings could be made out. It was his best guess. The town was the only location in sight that looked to have civilization, the rest of the environment was relatively unbothered.
"Oh, thank you so much," Isabelle sighed in relief, heading off in the direction Lior had pointed before stopping and looking back. She didn't know why, but she didn't have a good feeling about the town. Maybe it was filled with bad people? Who knew?
