Trevor was astounded at the fact that Melissa and Hana displayed this little situation between the two of them... and quite frankly, in it's own way... that Terroking Salmon did look slightly terrifying. Then again, Trevor reminded himself that he fought against the Undecided and Heartless, so compared to them... this wasn't much of anything. But between the children playing in the water and the teacher resigning themselves to float down the river, as it were... it seemed that things had gotten a tad bit out of hand. Thankfully, Melissa did try to rein it in, seemed she had a true talent and knack for this kind of stuff. "Melissa is right, so if anyone has questions, we'll be delighted to answer." Trevor said, looking at the state of the classroom. "First thing though... let's see what we can do about this mess." He glanced over at the nearby mop in the room and started to use his magic and cast it at the mop, to which it started getting up and moving around. Unfortunately, seemed like this little stunt apparently summoned other mops... which seemed to be from elsewhere in this city. He clicked his tongue, seeing the mops line up and stand at attention. "Alright, hopefully it'll just be you handful... don't need to have too many on duty." Trevor muttered, looking at the summoned mops. "Alright then, it's time we cleaned up the water here and try and get this classroom back into shape. As for the teacher... " he glanced out towards the window. "...probably best to let em vibe." And off they went! The mops went to work, taking care of the water. But to Trevor, it was strange. It wasn't like a puddle of water, but it visually got smaller and smaller. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief on seeing this... that was until the mops seemed to go towards the giant salmon... and tried to mop it. This action then caused the salmon to attack the group of mops. "Hey, hey! Ease up on the Salmon! Ease up on the saaaaaalmon!!!" Trevor shouted, trying to get in the middle of the fight. "Let Hana deal with the salmon, please!" "Whoa never saw that Monster card!" Hana said. "But they don't look as strong as my fish!" "Monster ca-... oh right, that card game." Trevor said, keeping the mops from fighting with the fish. "These aren't part of that game you and Melissa play... these are actual mops. Sorry for the confusion there!" "Oh. Well I think my fish is going to eat them. Is that gonna be a problem?" "...I'd say it's a problem. Especially since none of these mops are mine." he gulped, quickly trying to wrangle the mops. "Please for the love of Merlin leave the fiiiiiiish!" "Salmon! No! You'll get a belly ache! Wood isn't edible. I've tried."

Fen immediately looked back as she heard Rona fall from where she was. The girl could hardly go outside to check, though, as the door she had walked through slammed shut with a click behind her. Fen approached the door and attempted to open it. The door did not budge.  Still she called out, "is uh, everything alright out there?" "Uh, y-yeah, of course!" Rona answered back. "Just...seems the house doesn't want to let me in, ahaha..ha..." "Well, it uh, does not seem to wish to let me out." After a moment more, the girl will say, "I suppose keep a lookout, for now? I'll go meet up with Kasayee and see if there's any way to...I guess unlock the door?" "It's a shame I cannot join you in your quest." Fen nodded, a gesture that Rona clearly could not see, as she had looked forward to embarking on this cleaning adventure with her new companion. The girl's eyes widened as she remembered what she was here for, as she called back, "oh, and uh, I guess I'll look for what needs to be cleaned."  Fen followed after Kasayee but it became increasingly clear that, as always, the druid cared little for waiting for others. Yet she had little else in way of direction, so the girl continued after her friend -  Thud. A soft thudding resounded from the top of the left staircase, Fen's eyes immediately darted over to where the noise came from. All she had seen was a ball roll down the steps, and curious that Kasayee perhaps knocked something over went to go examine it. However, as she approached it, it was clear that the ball had already deflated. "That was awfully fast." The girl couldn't help but feel something off about this, before she turned and -  Her stance immediately became more on guard as she saw what was lying at the top of the steps. Or rather, sat. A skeleton, head resting it hand as it looked down the staircase and sat their, motionless. After a moment passed the girl said, "u-um, hello there?" The skeleton did not respond to her.  The girl looked more closely at the creature and realized that it wasn't particularly looking any which way. If anything, she thought it looked bored. The girl looked to the deflated ball in her hand before she began to cautiously make her way up the steps. Then once there, the girl let the ball deflated ball rest at its feet.  The skeleton shot up immediately before it kicked the ball back down the stairs. Its task complete, the bones immediately broke apart and fell into a pile. Being taken off guard by the whole ordeal, Fen could only bow and say, "I hope you rest in peace," to the skeleton. The girl began to make her way up the stairs again, though, remembering what she was here for and what a mess had just been made, the girl grabbed each bone and made a neat pile of them at the top of the staircase. 

As Lana's utterances had come true almost immediately, as the girl recoiled from the man and moved away from him. She had no idea what to make of him, but with a cautious if not annoyed expression said, "no problem." It wasn't soon after that Anna had made her way out and looked around for someone, coming to Lana to ask about it. "Magic chef's knife? Uhhh..." She looked back to the exit. "That guy was probably the one who just left." "Oh...he didn't tell me his story yet." "Oh, well...sorry to hear that..." The girl paused there, knowing that Anna had definitely wanted to hear whatever it was that man had to tell. However, Lana did not have the energy nor desire to go after someone to learn about their magic knife at this time of the day, but for whatever reason didn't want to leave Anna feeling disappointed. So, after a moment longer, the girl said, "but uh, I just came back from the dungeon today so I've got some stories if you want to hear them." Anna nodded. "I will get snacks." The girl let out a sigh of relief as she went to go sit down, resting her axe down at her feet as all of the sore muscles in her body had thanked her for the respite. She didn't feel as terrible as she had the first day she went into the dungeon, but each floor she went through did little to prepare her for the ones that came after. Even if her stamina kept getting better and she kept getting stronger, no amount of fighting goblins and large bull men would prepare her for mages that slung fire and shadows that she couldn't even hit to begin with. The girl couldn't help but feel a sense of dread well through her as she realized that she had absolutely no idea what was waiting for her on the next floors.  Anna came back as promised with snacks, as Lana began to tell her of the day's events, going into great detail about each and every encounter that she had had.  "...and then after we beat all of those bandaged zombies another one with a spear came out. He looked pretty fancy or something, I don't know, but don't you think it's unfair. Those guys are already strong enough as it is and this one had a weapon!..." "...and if you guessed, "lots of zombie hands coming from underground to pin you" then you're a whole lot smarter than me! I knew that hall was suspicious the moment I saw it but still! I swear that was worse for my heart then the ceiling monsters. And to make it worse..."  "...but all I'm saying is that I've never seen Ziun or Estelle make weapons from their blood and get strong enough to wrestle a bear! And like I said, this was after I was already torched! But..." "...no head really, just really long arms, lots of tentacles and a mouth like, right here. Super gross and hard as a tree. I know I've got an axe but it's like I was born a lumber jack! ..." "...it was as tall as this church and could throw around trees like nothing. And then there were these ghosts - like, spookier ones. They were all black and stuff - anyway my axe couldn't hurt them but they could sure hurt me! Thankfully the big guy was solid enough-  oh and there was also these weird skull alters all over the room..." Though her tale had turned into more of a venting session, it was clear that each and every room that she had been to had left an impression on the girl. Through her annoyance she still seemed to talk with pride whenever she managed to defeat something and still talked with awe whenever one of her teammates had done something particularly cool. And at the end she said, "oh, and because of where that big guy was, it wasn't the worst. I got paid after all. And look," the girl raised her finger, showing off the ivory band she had just acquired. "Pretty cool right?"
