"Huh? Where the heck am I now?"
The little bunny girl known as Almond looked around and saw nothing but metal and grey and dark all around her, along with the familiar sight of metal bars.
"Wha... what?"
Almond looked at the voice's source, a man in weird, shiny armor, wearing a helmet and carrying a weird weapon, who looked at her and then followed up with a, "Wh-who or what are you? What are you doing in that cell?".
"Well, I could ask you the same thing! And ugh, while you're at it tell me why this place stinks, gosh at least the ship had the nice ocean air."
"Uhm..."
Almond looked at the guard and gave him a nice, hard squinty stare. "Well what are you waiting for, I haven't got all day you know!"
Instead, the intense stare of a little bunny girl who appeared out of no where and was possibly a hallucination proving too much for him, the guard went to find a superior.
Moments later, two armored men entered the cell room and made their way to the otherwise empty cell.
Almond's look of 'this-is-not-satisfactory' had not left her face in the time that she had been waiting for the guard to return, although it had become less intense. "This is so booooori-" She noticed the guards return, "Oh, you're back, and you've brought a friend. Are you actually going to say something this time? Or are you going to continue acting like you've just seen the Nightmare Knight? Is your friend better at least a little better at talking than you?"
The guard from before kept quiet while his superior began to speak, "My my, such a rambunctious girl, tell me miss..."
"Almond."
"Miss Almond, however did you get here?"
"Well I don't know where here is so I can't answer that question now, can I? All I know is that one moment I was waiting for the chance to make calamari out of this loser called Spashmaster and the next I'm in here and Mr. Uhm over there is freaking out and running away."
"You are on the Perseus, little miss, above Steelport. Does that mean anything to you? Where did you come from?"
"Which Kingdom is that?"
"I beg your pardon?"
"Look buddy, I would love to play twenty questions, but I have a brother who sort of falls apart at the first sign of bad stuff who needs his sis around somewhere near the Ripple Kingdom, so if you could get me out of here so that I can make sure he keeps out of trouble that would be great."
"I am very sorry but I can't quite do that. I don't think that there is any Ripple Kingdom."
"What are you talking about?"
The other guard spoke up, trying to rationalize this whole thing, "You.. you are a rabbit! A talking rabbit!"
Almond squinted and frowned at the guard, "Is that a problem?"
This back and forth continued forward and back, with Almond being as obnoxious as possible in the face of the unknown and the guard being very confused at what she was saying and being generally off-put by her being a small bunny rabbit person in a dress.
However, it was cut off by a loud noise going off, and the guards' communicators crackling to life ordering all free crew members to go to the briefing room. As they couldn't quite leave the newcomer alone, the superior to ceased his questioning and left the original guard alone with Almond, to keep an eye on her.
"Uhm..."
Before he could continue his stuttered attempts at speech, the guard found that Almond not only had a flipping sword hidden somewhere on her, she also just sliced up his weapon in half and had the tip pointed at his face.
"Alright Mr. Uhm, I don't think that I need to explain what you've got to do for me. Let me out."
Persuaded by her blade, the guard opted to not only let Almond out of the cell, but also to tell her the fastest way to get off of the airship.
As the guard's face met the flat end of her sword, falling to the ground, Almond couldn't help but smile at how awesome she just was.
