With the decision to meet up in person, Sora, Roxas and Ventus also decided on meeting in the cafeteria. Talking over snacks usually helped a little.

Roxas wasn't overly surprised that he'd arrived first, if mostly because he hadn't been far from the cafeteria when he'd seen Ven's first appearance on Cambot. Deciding he had time while he waited for the others and not entirely trusting the synthesizer, he poked about in the kitchen for a tea kettle and hopefully a pot too. And he was kind of surprised that Pinkie Pie wasn't in there at the moment, but that was okay because the stuff they were going to discuss needed to stay between them for the moment. They would likely discuss these things with the others from they're world, universe, whatever.

Tea accoutrements at hand, all Roxas really had to do while waiting for others was wait for water to boil and see what kind of snacks were available that went with tea. Maybe one day he'd ask Pinkie Pie if she knew a good recipe for tea cakes or scones or something like that. He knew one recipe for scone and it was... not the best recipe, though he was pretty sure he knew what it needed. Considering he had time to kill, he started mixing up a batch.

Ven kind of doubted that one. For one, if they were doing that, they would have brought Vanitas up at the exact same time as him. No. Break. At all.

"Yeah... but what other cause it could be, I don't know. I just got here, but this place doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense."

...And yet their universe does. What.

Well, at least it seemed like Roxas and Ven had calmed down from their ideas of a jinx. That did leave them with how any of them were showing up here in the first place, though.

"I don't know what it could be, either. This place makes absolutely no sense sometimes, but I'm sure there must be something in particular that's causing people to show up here. Something other than those weirdo scientists."

He hadn't much brought up some of the especially weird things that happened here, like everyone sparkling, or him accidentally growing to eleven feet tall. but he figured that'd come up eventually.

"We could take a look around," Roxas offered, "Don't know what we could find, but there's probably some hint somewhere... maybe the lower decks?"

Even though it was established that certain places should be left alone, Roxas couldn't really think of where else to look for such a thing as whatever might be bringing people to this place.

"If they don't want us to go somewhere, then it's probably because they have something to hide." Master Eraqus had followed that basic philosophy, after all, never letting him go off their world and trying to get Aqua to drag him back when he ran off. "Some of the stuff might hurt us, but I think we can figure out what not to touch, right?"

"Maybe we can look. I've looked around a little bit, but not much on the very bottom deck. I don't think the scientists are keeping us from looking there; it's the 'bots who were more concerned. At least, one time that 90s Kid fell down in there, we suddenly got shaving cream out of all the faucets..."

Looking around definitely wouldn't hurt, even on the more dangerous decks. Hopefully they could figure out what not to touch...he didn't think any of them were as clumsy as 90s Kid could be. The problem was, they had no clue what they would be looking for in the first place.

"Also, Phineas and me were gonna look at that time machine..." Sora mused. He hadn't seen Phineas around for awhile, though, and so much other stuff had come up that he'd forgotten about it.

"Shaving cream? Seriously?" Some of the things Roxas heard about sometimes that had happened before he'd arrived on the satellite just sounded to crazy to be real and he be inclined to stick with that line of thinking if he hadn't witnessed a few crazy things himself.

However, Sora said something that grabbed hi attention pretty quick.

"There's a time machine here?"

And Ven latched on to the exact same thing. "Time machine? They have a time machine?" And he glanced at both of them, because something clicked together in his head and finally made some sort of sense. "Maybe the time machine is what's making all our times weird. Something in it is stuck or something, maybe."

"Yeah...glittery, strawberry-scented shaving cream," Sora said. Which, considering the fact that they'd all been sparkling anyway, had just made things even more sparkly. And, as they'd all found out, it had all just been downhill from there.

"There is, but it's locked." This would definitely be an appropriate time to have a Keyblade...too bad that none of them did. "If we could figure out a way to open it, maybe we would find something that's causing this."

"I think I should be glad that I wasn't here for that..." Which was probably an understatement, but Roxas didn't really want to think of what might better describe it.

"Locked. It figures. Then again, if we all had our Keyblades, then there would something else keeping us from getting to it."

"Yeah, but then at least we could fight it. Not having them means we're stuck trying to find whatever way works, and who knows when something'll come through with that." Ven was normally the optimistic one in the group, but he was smart enough to know when to be realistic. And this whole thing had gotten out of hand really quickly. He grabbed another of the scones, because heck, he'd come from a battle for his very survival and only sort of won; he was hungry.

"Maybe we can just break it open somehow? We can get a better look at it, then see if it's got any vulnerable points."

"A Keyblade would definitely be useful here right now!"

Sora's main experience with time machines had been the doorway to the past that Merlin had created, and in his experience you could either lock or unlock those things...they weren't really something you could find a "vulnerable point" on.

"We could, but I dunno how...and what if in trying to break it, it just made the problem worse? Or did something else? I don't know how those machines are run."

"I suppose we could try to figure it out when we find it," Roxas mused, "But trying to break into it might be a bad idea."

He sipped at his tea and thought for a moment.

"We don't know for sure that the time machine is what's bringing us here. Even if it is, who knows what damaging it might do..."

"No, but at least we could take a look at it and see if there's any sort of release switch or something. I mean, I've never seen one in person before, but they have to have some way to operate it, right?" That scone was half-gone already. Energy, he needed energy. "And if we can't figure it out, then we leave it alone and come up with some other plan."

He sure hoped that a time machine would be easy to operate...especially considering his only experience with time travel thusfar had been "walk through door, beat Heartless, don't mess up the timestream." But either way, it wouldn't hurt to check it out.

He nodded. "Yeah, if we can get it open, we can at least see how it works and if something is off!"
