Somehow, Kaessya's attacks were enough to help take down one of the giant moss creatures, and the party managed to make it through that small opening and out to (relative) safety in Luna's magic-propelled raft. After Kaessya landed on the raft, Key made a point to specifically thank her for her efforts, telling her she did good. That was… something… although, Kaessya was still a bit too shaken-up by the events leading up to this moment, so she didn't really know how to respond.
Oh, and at one point there was a big portal that opened that looked like an easy way back to Omnibus, but that window of opportunity was stolen from them by some sort of big whale creature. So… that sucked.
In the moments that followed, Kaessya kept mainly to herself — not only did she need time to calm down, but, even after reaching a state of relative calm, she still felt pretty awkward interacting with the Harbingers. So, as she kept to herself, she couldn't help but get pulled into her own thoughts, so she started thinking about some stuff. She started to wonder just how long they might be stuck in this place. Normally Kaessya was a bit more go-with-the-flow about everything, but, that sort of life philosophy made a lot more sense back when she was on Earth, where there was always plenty of food around. Even out in the rural countryside, it wasn't too difficult to fly around for a while until she found some farmer or something. Or, she could start at the nearest road, pick a direction, and just keep walking until she found some sort of civilization. Rarely was she ever very stressed about finding food. But here — she was starting to doubt that there was any sort of prey here, and there certainly weren't any roads to so-easily follow. What if they were stuck in this weird place for… entire days? Or even longer than that? What was she supposed to eat, if the only other souls around were her own party members? The Harbingers were definitely not an option, and Luna… well, if Kaessya got really desperate, then that would be her only option. But, with Luna being as powerful as she was, Kaessya doubted she would stand much of a chance against her…
Kaessya was then pulled out of her thoughts as she thought she sensed… a human soul? No, it must've just been her imagination… No, wait, maybe it wasn't! Up ahead, the group caught sight of a… rowboat in the sky (ok??), being rowed by… yes, what appeared to be a human! Oh, Kaessya couldn't believe her luck. Did this mean there was a sizable human population here? If so, then there'd be plenty to sustain her until they all got back to Omnibus! And if it was just this one guy, trapped here in much the same fashion as themselves, then… well, at least she'd have enough to survive an extra day or two, if needed.
As the raft approached the human's rowboat, Kaessya tried not to let anyone notice that her mouth was watering. She didn't even have much of a reason to be hungry, but, after briefly worrying that she might starve to death out here… well, it left her feeling pretty eager to sink her teeth into whatever prey she was lucky enough to encounter. And, she just encountered some. But! Now wasn't the time to think about any of that. Kaessya knew she wouldn't need to eat again until at least tomorrow morning, and she couldn't afford to be such a glutton when the need for food-rationing in the near future was a very real possibility. And besides, she and the others definitely wanted to keep this particular human alive for a while — as it was quite possible that he might actually be able to help them get back to Omnibus. Kaessya made a mental note to act as friendly towards him as possible, in order to gain his trust, so that he wouldn't have anything to hide from them.
Luna seemed to already be thinking something similar, and, with a friendly tone, she got right into asking for directions.
Aaaand the human turned out to be… fucking annoying, firing a… marshmallow gun? at Luna. Kaessya was unamused. Like, no, screw being nice. She changed her mind. She was soooo done with this bullshit doom land already, and not in the mood to deal with any of this guy's shenanigans. If he fired that thing again, Kaessya was about ready to fly up there, snatch it out of his hands, break it in half, and maybe even swallow one or both halves of it. In her experience, this was a pretty efficient way to both destroy an object, and intimidate the former-owner of said object.
Oh and also, there was a UFO. Although Kaessya didn't even realize it was there until she saw Luna's eyes lock onto it. Also, apparently the tiny vessel was familiar to Luna, as she soon muttered something about "the Empire" after seeing it. "…The what?" Kaessya deadpanned in response.
The human didn't seem to feel like answering Luna's simple request, though, instead rambling on with the… dumbest load of gibberish that Kaessya had ever heard. (Well, maybe not the dumbest, but possibly dumb enough to make the top 10). Kaessya made no attempt to hide her subsequent eye-roll. "You know, if we had 'warping' powers, then we wouldn't need directions, and we could find plenty of 'fresh and innocent hearts' ourselves." she snarked at the human. "Never mind how you said you'd never tell a bunch of 'witches' like us where civilization is, which makes me think you proooobably wouldn't keep your half of the deal even if we keep ours, soooo…" Kaessya gave an exaggerated shrug. If she had to listen to another sentence of this idiocy, she would probably just opt for the whole threaten-to-eat-him tactic and see where that went. If the Harbingers grilled her about it, she would just tell them later that it was an empty threat (besides, she wasn't even feeling very hungry yet). But if it turned out that she'd be trapped in this lame swamp dimension for an extended period of time? Yeah, Mr. Marshmallow Gun over here would be the first thing on the menu.
