"Octo Towers is a literal tower going straight into the "outer atmosphere?"" Shen huffed, trying to look down the window below. "It's good that I'm not afraid of heights. Unlike my daughter, she's really afraid of them." He joked, laughing slightly. Looking down onto the chrome plated buildings below. "Why is everything made out of chrome? The people who built this didn't get their inspiration from some cheesy children's show, did they?" Shen asked, still looking down at the streets.

"Bleh... I was hoping that they stopped doing rave parties after DJ Octavio got captured." He grumbled, annoyed. "Plus all these metal buildings, its just very bright." He looked back at Octovski, "do you guys have really, really thick curtains? Because I have a feeling I'll need some."

Laura struggled as Zerul tried to pull her away from the nice lady. “Enuh! Get off!” she cried.

But it was no use—he was stronger. Laura moped on the floor where Zerul had dragged her to.

No matter his intent, Laura took Zerul's words harshly.

M-Meanie…
she muttered underneath her breath. She began to cry softly.

Zerul sighs. "Im not trying to be mean i was just looking out for our new caretaker" He thinks for a bit. "Would getting you some candy calm you down?"

Tyler watched the scene unfold before with interest, not sure whether he should laugh or not. Replying to Sue he says, "I would be glad to stay with you. Better than being in an orphanage." Turning to Laura he lifts her off the ground and places her in a chair. "C'mon now Laura." He says wiping away so of her tears on her face, "You know he meant no ill intent."

"Don't worry about it." She, reassured him, "The building has special insulation that drowns out noise, and the curtains and blinds are enough to keep the light out... Granted, some like to keep those things out of the way just so they can throw their own rave party... But even then, you won't hear a thing." She said as an increasingly large building started to come into view.
Pretty soon, they were flying inside the building through a specially designed Sky-Tram tunnel, eventually docking at the designated station. Suddenly the doors slid open as the robotic voice once again appeared over the intercom. "Thank you for flying with us. Have a nice day."
Exiting the tram and assisting Shen as well, she begins to head towards the entrance to the 332nd floor.
"This way, come on!"
The Sky-Tram station wasn't all too impressive, one would call it the equivalent to a modern day parking lot with a train station inside, just without the tracks. However, upon entrance inside the main building, the lobby that greeted the two was astounding. One could compare THAT to a modern day 5 Star hotel, except far more high-tech and advanced. Following a long orange carpet, they eventually reached a receptionist desk.
"Hello. What can I do for you both?"
"We're here to retrieve the keys to Mr. Shen's room, please."
"Just a moment."
The receptionist typed on her key board wildly and a set of robotic arms slowly descended from the ceiling, searched through a cabinet, and retrieved a small light-blue cube that was then placed neatly on a flashing target on the receptionist's desk.
"There you are," said the receptionist.
Dr. Octavski took a look at one of the sides of the cube.
"Room 2482368.8 huh? That's a nice room. Anyways, I'll lead the way, just follow me," she said while walking towards the elevators.
Just as soon as she pushed the call button, the elevator arrived. As the two stepped into the elevator, Dr. Octavski made sure that Shen was taking note that she pushed the button for the 13,567th floor. "Did you catch that?" She asked just as soon as the elevator suddenly dashed upwards in such a way as to not injure its passengers. It only took three minutes to reach the proper floor. "Once they learned how to make elevators faster, lines were a thing of the past," Dr. Octavski explained to Shen as they finally reached his room. The hallways were grand and there was a utilities room just next to the elevators. It was packed with snacks and other important utilities that might come in handy. Dr. Octavski pushed a button on the cube that caused it to light up brightly for a moment as a small attachment slid out. She placed the attachment to the corresponding receiver on the door. They stuck together with magnetic force for a moment as the sound of locks turning were heard from behind the door. Finally, the door swung open to reveal an apartment the size of a high-end suite. It was already furnished, contained 5 rooms, large master bedroom, a Jacuzzi/hot tub, and a large TV accompanied by a livable living room. "Well, enjoy it. If you need anything, there should be a booklet next to your bed that should detail the help desk's number. If anything goes wrong, I'm in apartment 4669235.2 on the 14,000th floor." She said, leaving the apartment and Shen to attend to his business. There were some shuffling noises outside followed by robotic sounding movements, but it stopped after a short period of time.

"Children, please, calm down!" Sue said, trying to console everyone. "Well, I suppose it's settled then," Sue said once the chaos began to die down. "Follow me children." Sue said as she led each of them outside and to a fancy-looking vehicle. She placed her finger on a fingerprint scanner which immediately recognized her finger. The door slid open just as quickly. Sue swung herself into her car and pushed a button which slid open the rest of the doors. There was a seat for everyone. Once everyone was inside and buckled, the doors slid closed on their own and Sue pushed another button. This time, wings slowly emerged from the sides of the car and the multi-core engines began whirring. Soon, they too were airborne as Sue began to set a course for home.

Tyler looked around in the flying machine, which full of complex machinery. Looking outside, his eyes shined at the sight outside the car, as it was New Inkopolis in all it's glory. "Hey Laura, Zerul! You gotta look outside!" He exclaims, excited.

Zerul sat in the middle of the three. as they were flying Zerul stopped looking outside of the vehicle. It reminded him of re-entry. He didn't know fear back then. but now...now he was afraid. it didn't help that Tyler was wanting him to look out the window

Laura had started to doze off when Tyler exclaimed to look out the window. It took a moment for her to realize what he had said.

Leaning over to the window, Laura gazed out at the city's imposing skyline, from top to… bottom.

She quickly sat back in the seat and shut her eyes. Ehh… I looked down… she muttered. Her discomfort with these heights was plastered across her face.

"It's beautiful, is it not?" Sue chimed in as the flying car continued to chug forward.
It was about a fifteen minute flight before the sounds to the roof a garage opened. Slowly, the flying car descended into the garage of what looked like a rather large home. Lights were flashing at the very bottom, directing Sue with her landing. Eventually, she as the car landed, the doors swung open. Sue helped each of them out of the car and directed them to the entrance. There were far too many doors to count in the garage, so it was slightly confusing.
"Don't worry, every door but one is a closet." Sue said as she opened the door that led into the house. As soon as they all stepped inside, a small robot came around and removed each of their shoes and placed them neatly on a rack hidden behind the wall. The room itself, was clearly meant for laundry. Though, the washers and dryers in the room didn't look like anything they were used to. Each machine was filled with a myriad of different buttons that were each labelled for a different function. When Sue opened the door to the main building, it was a sight to behold. In the future, it was considered standard living, but in modern day standards, this was a futuristic paradise. Sue led each of them upstairs to the guest bedroom, which looked rather fancy. "I'm sorry that it's not much, but I sincerely hope each of you enjoy your stay here." Sue said as she pushed a couple of buttons on a console mounted on the wall that lowered two extra beds for the children to choose from. "I'm going to go attend to my business. It's a bit late, so... You all should go to sleep. I'll be back in the morning to check on you all." Sue said as she closed the door behind her, leaving the children to decide on beds.

Tyler looked around the place with interest, as it looked like a futuristic paradise. "Goodnight." He tells Sue when she heads out.
Turning to the other children he asks, "
So which one of us is going to share beds?"

((Whoops! Forgot to mention that there was already a bed there. That's one bed for everyone.))

@VeryButter
Without warning over New Inkopolis Tower, another wormhole opens and carries Magabelle along with it. She tumbles out and just as fast as it opened the wormhole closes. Magabelle finds herself landing in a giant pile of confetti tossed out from the rave parties. She's not badly hurt, save for a few paper cuts here and there. Some patrol bots noticed the events that just unfolded and quickly went to Magabelle's location. There, they checked up on here.
"EXCUSE ME, MISS. ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" It said with a classic robotic tone.

Magabelle groaned in annoyance, sitting upright in the pile. What on earth...?

She looked up at the robot, her eyes widening. What the heck? "Uh, I'm...fine." Magabelle glanced around at her surroundings. "Where am I?"

Zerul was happy to be on solid ground. though being so high up wasn't helping. He looks around there new living place. he walked around and touched the various electronics. If someone was paying close attention they could see what looked like wires appear from his arms and connect to the device before disapearing again. "This place is quite interesting. but you missed the bed over here Tyler" Zeurl points to the bed that was behind a devider. "Speaking of which...i think we need to use this devider to sperate guy from girl. this way things dont get awkward."

Shen turned around, eyes narrowed as he became suspicious of the robotic shuffling noises coming from outside his room. His suspicion slowly abated as he turned to look at his room. His eyes began to hurt as the raving below on the streets and in the buildings began to get too bright and he drew the curtains over the window. "Gah... And I thought they would've stopped by now..." He muttered, walking away to view his empty apartment.

"What to do..." Shen wondered aloud, walking around the apartment. Looking around as he wandered, pondering on the next thing to do.

Laura stared at Tyler in disbelief, failing to notice whatever had caught Zerul's attention, let alone the fact that anything had. When he pointed out the third bed behind the divider, Laura breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yes… Thank you, Zerul.” she replied. Laura turned to Tyler for a moment. “You're lucky that there are three beds, because you just volunteered to sleep on the floor.” The glare Laura gave Tyler was enough to make anyone know they were in trouble.

"Oh. Sorry." Tyler mutters, now having another muscle spasm under Laura's glare. "I'm... gonna go brush my teeth." He says awkwardly heading to the bathroom.

Zerul watches Tyler leave and sighs. "Its going to take a bit to get used to this new life....hopefully we can find a way back....i guess basic introductions are not going to cut it if were going to be living together like a family...I'm going to wait till Tyler comes back then we will talk more about who we are and where or when we came from."

“You're right…” Laura replied. “I'll relax while we wait.”

She headed over to the bed behind the divider, and jumped backwards onto it. It took a moment to get comfortable—once she did, Laura closed her eyes.

After laying down for a bit, Laura spoke up from her place on the bed. “Hey Zerul. Thanks for pointing out the third bed. I was ready to knock some sense into him with a good slap across the face.”
