"Even random chance has a few rules to it. Even if it doesn't seem like it." the multicolour haired female nods
She drifts over to a seat, sits. Crossing her legs while the tip of her tail crashed her hair and her glowing red/Amber eyes look at you both.
"Well there are rules but no two sets of rules are the same. It all depends on the world you end up in. Most of the isekai I know off, there tends to be just the one isekai, but there are once where a whole class can cross over. But I have never come across one that has humans from all over the earth come to the same world at the same time, So I have now clue what will happen."
Her tail points at the other two, one after the other.
She looks at her tail like it has a mine of its own.
"Ooo your right tail"
She looks back at the two of you.
"I used to be human but when they let me pick your race, I chose this one Oni."
Her tail reaches up and tops her horns.
"I got a tail, horns, claw like nails and a BIte!!"
She flashed her vampire like teeth, and snapes there in a bit like motion.
"You seem to have picked other races to, so come on, spill the beans, what did you pick?"
"Hmmm, I'm not sure, I believe the toaster called this a 'Ganzi'?
What ever that may be. I just rolled some dice and picked what it landed on." she shrugs as she takes out her (returned now?) set of dice
She jumps up a and walks around Jadis, looking her over.
"You know my head is all full of things I did not know before"
Her hand moves and she said a magic word and a small flame come into being at the end of her finger. She clenches her fist and it winks out of being.
"Like Magic, and somehow I know that a Ganzi have mind and body mutations caused by previous generations exposure to chaotic energies. Your hair changing color, is one such mutation. I get mind because of my evil outsiders blood in my veins. You get yours because of the taint of chaos in yours. Nothing wrong with that, law and chaos are just the ends of the same line."
She dose a spin.
"You are are more to the chaos side, and I think"
She spins around Joseph
"Joseph I think may fall closer to the law end."
Then she stops and bows,
"Myself, I am I think more in the middle."
Then she walks back to her seat, and takes her instramnet off her back.
"I wonder who will come next, before we go..."
She bows her head at the end.
"Have you ever seen the Becket play, Waiting for waiting for godot I did once while on a school trip to london. I feel like we may be like Vladimir and Estragon. Waiting for who know what?"
She stands and says stepping quickly from one side to the other playing two parts in two voices one high one deep.
"Let's go."
Steps and faces where she just was.
"We can't."
Steps back
"Why not?"
Steps back
"We're waiting for Godot."
Steps back, Then turns to the two and bows, saying.
"We always find something, eh, to give us the impression we exist."
"Dwarf," McCoy finally says after thinking it over, "Like in that Peter Jackson movie . There were others shown to me but this looked the most human so I went with it. I will say that I feel.. incredibly healthy." He does quiet down as the singing goes on.
"Let's the chaos begin it seems. Cause I'm sure where ever we land it won't be all roses and mattresses. New people in a new land. This will be quite the adventure. Let the dice fall where they please"
She pulls her instrument around and says.
"Every good isekai anime needs a good song to start each advanter, so I have this in mind. I hope you like it"
"Well, I hope Mildred makes it." He says.Unsure if there is anything else TO request.
"Well, I hope Mildred makes it." He says.Unsure if there is anything else TO request.
Almost on que a plain figure appeared in the waiting room. She looked very familiar to Joseph and already a litter different. Tall gangly and pale her sking was an almost greyish tone. Her long hair up in a simple bun. He clothes were covered in blood for a moment. Long ears became very obvious. He could Hear Agnes explain to Mildred that she needed to fill out these forms for rebirth into Melvaun on NPC status. He didnt hear the question from Mildred's mouth or the reply from agnes as Aiko began to sing and play.
He gives a waves to Mildred, wishing he could hear what was said, but is glad that his patron appears to be a being of his word.
She sits and waits, after all the shock of becoming a tranmigrator. It now just seemed they where waiting at the Dentist. She got up and looked for a Vending Machine to get a drink and something to eat.
Finding a Vending Machine she got some Holy water Sodas pops, and what looked to be dinosaur cereal bars. Talking them back to the others she handed them out.
"Well it seems we are waiting while the paperwork is being done.
So snacks."
"I've already had some. Be patient though and I'm sure we'll get a move on. We were technically dead i think and that can't be rushed."
Your search through the infanite hallways for a vending machine didnt take long, though you did pass by three seperate water fountains. The machine looked old and delapitated almost like on old machine from the 60's or early 70's. The coin slot was too slim for any of the gold coins you were given and seemed too large for your earthly money...
She looks at the thing, there was an isekai with a person reincarnated as a vending machine. But he looked a lot cleaner than this one did.
Then a thought struck her, there was something in at and other good isekai that they may have here as well.
"I wonder" She thought to herself.
"STATUS!, status window? status screen?"
All good isekai have the status window trope, telling the isekai'ed there states skills and abilities in the new world they found themselves in. She wanted to know what hers looked like,

A hazy Blue background popped into your view Aiko though to anyone else nearby you looked like you were awekwardly staring into nothing.
White lines forming a box were marked with the words Attack,Skills,Item,Magic, and inventory
"ARRR! great"
she looks over here states abilities,
"By your reaction, it seems that worked" she then does the same waving her hand infront of her
"Yes and its fascinating, I have a magic skill. Which I kind of know, like the memories where always there, but I know I could not do magic before today. I can heal others with my songs. And my Class in Bard. Which I did put down on the form. But it comes with a load of cool thing. Like"
She held out her hand and said some odd words, and a Gitar come into being in her hand.
"How cool is that!"
She looks at her own stats and glances at Aiko, with a whistle then laughs "Now I get the toasters comment. I'm some kind of offshoot of a paladin. Chaos Knight. I will get some magic later it seems, as mine says 'currently locked'. And... Oh, right, gun. That's this bad boy on my back... And let me see.... Random stuff will keep following me... Nice. Eager to see how that plays out. This is gonna be a wild ride"
"That's so cool, I have a load of skills in knowledge, and I wonder what LUCK does?"
Smiling over at Jadis
"That's so cool, I have a load of skills in knowledge, and I wonder what LUCK does?"Smiling over at Jadis
Her finger flies over an invisible screen then she shrugs
"Not sure what a lot is, but I'm pretty sure mine is NOT that. And no clue. These numbers mean nothing to me, unless you know more of this than me, I have no clue what some of these things mean"
A natural follower, McCoy tries his own, and looks at his 'stats', "It's official, I'm a dwarf. I knew it but good to have it in writing."
"O I deal know, in isekai window is where you spend experience on things like skills and magic. Also you can have stars or classes, Seems this world runs on classes And they give you things. Like a sword Saint would be good with place, a water mage knows water magic, a tamer, tames animals or monsters. Then each job or class lets you spend XP on cool things that class can do."
She says strumming her intament.
"There is the one isekai, where our hero is a Crafting, and can make just about anything so long as he can touch it."
She says with a grin, checking herself.
"Some of the isekai stories have a hero with a Gacha skill, craftting skill."

A giant question mark hovers over your screen if you focus on it it explains the thing in question like a tutorial....
A loud "DING" sound occurs and a golden placard floats above Jadis's head for a moment that reads...
Achievement unlocked . . . . Ask and ye shall recieve
It slowly fades away.

A natural follower, McCoy tries his own, and looks at his 'stats', "It's official, I'm a dwarf. I knew it but good to have it in writing."
As you all are sort of gathered in the hallway, you see Mildred suddenly walking down the hallway. She almost bumps into you.... She stumbles when she notices you....
"Mister McCoy? Oh no! you died? Im sorry to hear that. "
"I'm surprised you recognized me, Mildred." He says, "Yes, I'm afraid I did. I should never had that sushi on the way to be a witness on your behalf. How are you doing?" He inquires.

She beams almost proudly its a bit strange in life she was well a half a foot shorter than you.. in death she is suddenly much taller almost a foot you would gather.Her skin had been pale, stretched thin over her tiny frame, bot it was a cool dusky gray, over a healthier much taller frame.
Despite the changes to her features you just Knew It was her.
"We died! Derrick and I. It was strange we were drving home and he... he got cut off and lost his temper and he swerved... we hit a telephone pole i think. I didnt see him here so thats wonderful! Im free... finally free!"
Joseph actually smiles "Till death were you parted it seems. I'm glad you're free." He sees if that screen thing can read her race and class if any. He's not sure how this works.

"A dusk elf? Oh I'm learning so much here. Your new society is matriarchal? Now that seems a true balance to past wrongs. You look lovely, Mildred." He assures her, "And I'm happy for you."
And you, Bureaucrathel my god, have kept your end of the bargain. Even if it kills me again, I will serve as I promised.

"Humm I think I just got an Achievement for asking a question. Cool it seems you can get XP from more than just killing monsters. I wonder if there will be Adventures guilds where we are going. I would love to become and S rank Adventurer"
"S Rank? Such a strange term. Can't say I know too much about these things. But did hear there are different types. Like metal ranks or alphabet ranks. Sorry can't remember the details. I did have friends who played and watched these things. I did not. Was more out doorsy. Firing range etc. not infront of a computer" the now ganzi shrugs
Aiko skips over and around Jadis, again she seems to be working under less gravity and others. flouting a little as she moves.
"In my brothers Isekai comics and cartoons, they had the Isekai'ed getting Ranks as Adventure and you get a token saying so, like a mettle bage. Which you show to get into cities and towns."
"Oh, Jadis, Aiko, this is Mildred," He makes introductions out of manners.
She skips over to Mildred, Then stops bows and takes her hand shaking it vigorously.
"Nice to meet I'm Aiko Nakajima, Can I ask have you been isekai'ed as well?. O here is a tip, if you say the words, STATUS WINDOW, you can see what you are and what you can do. I'm an Oni, I can't use anything but light weapons and Armor. But I have claws and a bite. I also have something call resistance to stuff but I don't understand what it means. O! and A thing called luck. Which seems to change things good or bad."
Then she stops understanding this new body kept overreacting, It was fighting with her Japanese sensibilities something fierce. Then. she bust out with an evil sounding laugh.
"I best keep this overreacting to when I really need to do it, when it can be sued to inflict the most harm on those who would oppress me."
She laughed evilly to herself again. She had a hole new identity to make for herself. Then took in Mildred.
"Grey skin, pointy ears like mine but bigger, dusky eyes. Let me think"
"Some Kind of elf, I would say, and use to the cold or dark with pail skin like that,but thats all I have form just looking at you, Mildred"
"Welcome to the party Mildred, how ever crazy this may end up" she greets her with a smile
She looks at Mildred and Joseph, Then pulls her odd looking instrument off her back. Tweaking a things things, smiles and says.
"This is for you two"
"Lovely song," The dwarf admits and almost blushes, but then when Mildred mentions Momomancy...
Somehow he knows, "Ah yes, Matron of Second Chances and Healing. A goodly goddess. I serve Bureaucrathel Lord of Forms and Fates myself." He he remembers which office belongs to Momomancy he gives her directions then adds "I am sure your new life will be so much better."
As she finished her song her head stayed bowed, holding her instrument. Then there is the pitter patter to tears hitting the floor. As she instaspetivily remembers the sadness of her own demise. A wasted life ruled by others, Then her silent crying stops.
"Never again!!"
A fierce thought, like the wash of flame crossers her mind. In this life she will make her own way, she will never be that weak useless office worker again. She would never bend the knee again. And if this world saw her as Evil for that, then so be it.
Standing back up, she dismissed her instramanet as she went to Mildred hugging her.
"A new life and a new beginning"
She said to the woman so much like herself.Then she let the woman go but kept hold of her hand. Saying now with a smile of hope.
"We will change our karma"
Then she showed her to the office of Momomancy with Joseph.
"Go on, she is waiting"
She heads back to the others. Stopping she hold her hand up.
"Can you feel it, any moment now our adventure will start and we will leave the direiry hole of a waiting space."

She heads back to the others. Stopping she hold her hand up.
"Can you feel it, any moment now our adventure will start and we will leave the direiry hole of a waiting space."
The last thing she remembered was the sound of drums — not war drums, not festival drums, but the deep, resonant pulse of a heart too large for one world. Dramalith had whispered her name into the circuitry of fate, and the universe had answered with a trapdoor.
No warning. No ceremony. Just a sudden absence of floor.She fell.
Through clouds that shimmered with cherry blossom data. Through layers of reality that flickered like broken holograms. Through memories of Japan — her grandmother’s laughter, the scent of plum wine, the neon hum of Shibuya — all torn away by the wind.
30,000 feet.
She screamed once, then sang. A techno aria, half defiance, half prayer. Her oni horns glowed with refracted starlight. Her bardic implants pulsed with emergency harmonics. But the ground was coming fast.
And then — a jolt. A divine deceleration. Petals exploded around her like airbags of grace.
She hit the earth just outside a crooked old farmhouse, her body crumpling into the dirt like a broken marionette. 1 hit point. Enough to breathe. Enough to hear.
A creak. A rocking chair. A voice like whisky and weathered leather.
“Everything okay over there, miss… that’s a long fall.”
She blinked up at him — a tall, greying Scottish terrier dogman in a straw hat, his eyes twinkling with the kind of wisdom only found in retired heroes and stubborn farmers.
The wind carried the scent of hay, cherry blossoms, and spoilers.
Welcome to Melvuan.

"Lovely song," The dwarf admits and almost blushes, but then when Mildred mentions Momomancy...
1d20+5
Somehow he knows, "Ah yes, Matron of Second Chances and Healing. A goodly goddess. I serve Bureaucrathel Lord of Forms and Fates myself." He he remembers which office belongs to Momomancy he gives her directions then adds "I am sure your new life will be so much better."
The Arrival of Joseph T. McCoy, Inquisitor of Bureaucrathel
“…and that, Mildred, is why you never sign a Form 27-B without a certified notary, a witness, and a goat—” He began explaining when the floor disappeared beneath his feet.
WHOOSH.
The sky tore open like a misfiled affidavit. One moment, Joseph T. McCoy was mid-exposition, The next, he was plummeting through a chute of cherry blossoms, divine red tape, and the faint scent of moonshine.
30,000 feet.
He didn’t scream. He grumbled. Something about “improper celestial procedure” and “falling outside of jurisdiction.” His beard flapped like a battle standard. His holy symbol of Bureaucrathel glowed faintly, issuing a divine sigh.
Below him: a crater. A dazed Oni bard. A rocking chair. A dogman in a straw hat.
And then—
WHUMP.
He landed squarely on Aiko with the grace of a filing cabinet hurled from a courthouse window. The impact kicked up a puff of cherry blossom petals and bureaucratic confetti. Aiko groaned. Joseph blinked.
“Well now,” he muttered, adjusting his hat. “That’s what we call a Section 12 Unexpected Reentry Clause.” He wasnt sure how he knew that...but he was positive it was true.
From the porch, the dogman raised an eyebrow, pipe now lit and rocking chair creaking.
“Ooph, another one? I don’t believe I’ve seen two reborn souls appear so close together in time.”
Joseph squinted at him, then at the sky, then at the Oni beneath him. his status bar grew fuzzy when it refocused i read 1hp. that was a heck of a fall.
"Oh... pardon. I'm not sure how I got here, but there's a lot of that going around. Tell me I didn't die AGAIN?"

"Welcome to the party Mildred, how ever crazy this may end up" she greets her with a smile
The sky hiccupped.
Not tore, not opened — hiccupped. A divine burp of fate, and through it came a chute unlike any before: spiraling, looping, twisting like a roller coaster designed by a mad god with a flair for drama and breakfast metaphors.Enter: the Ganzi.
Her hair shimmered like static. Her eyes flickered with divine firmware. Her holy firearm, etched with the sigil of Toasteron, God of Righteous Heat and Breakfast Vengeance, glowed with radiant crumbs. She screamed — not in fear, but in delight. The chute twisted, looped, and launched her into a final plummet.
30,000 feet.
She slowed abruptly, petals and sparks trailing behind her like a divine wake. And then—
WHUMP.
She landed squarely on the Oni bard, who was already groaning beneath a dwarven bureaucrat. The pile of heroes shifted. Aiko wheezed. Joseph muttered something about “stacking violations.” The Ganzi rolled off, coughing up a cherry blossom and blinking at the dogman farmer.
He rocked once. Twice. Lit his pipe. Then slapped his knee with a bark of laughter.
“Three? Three heroes all at once? Somethin’ major must be happenin’!”
Smoke curled into the shape of a question mark. The wind carried the scent of prophecy and burnt toast. Somewhere in the distance, a divine kettle whistled.
The Ganzi stood, wobbling, her gun humming softly. She looked at the farmhouse, the dogman, the pile of heroes, and the sky she’d just ridden down like a divine theme park.
“Toasteron sent me,” she said, voice crackling with static and faith.
"THAT was awesome. Wonder if it will happen again, best coaster I've ever been on, ever" she looks at the pile of bodies beneath her and the terrier in the chair, a grin on her face "And hello to you too, sorry about the entrance. Even though it does appear you have seen such things before. Call me Jade" she does a bit of a bow, then reaches down to help her fellow arrivals up from the ground
