The cat troll sniffled a bit, hoping her apology would at least be accepted and he could forgive her. He was talking to her, and she smiled a bit at his words. She wouldn't take him up on the punching bag offer though, but then suddenly he hugged her.
Her cheeks took a light green tinge as she was hugged, and she awkwardly hugged back, honestly taken by surprise. "Oh! Uhm... th-thank you...!" she said, tightening her grip around his soft body. His warmth and texture were oddly comforting. "I'm just glad I didn't hurt you too much..."
Nepeta looked to John. "Oh! Right! You two... whose names I appurrently never caught! This is John Egbert! John, these two found me in here when I woke up!" She lowered her arms, her jacket sticking lightly to Wax's body, revealing, ghoulishly enough, what appeared to be a lateral scar going all the way around her neck. What could have made that? It looked disturbingly smooth.

Five feet tall and never had a hug until now. It felt... nice. "Heh," he sighed, happy to see his would be cryo maker wasn't cruel at heart. That's when she began to introduce the boy to them, and them to him. He looked kinda... cool, really. Blue fit him.
Wax looked down as Nepeta got off of him, then became slightly disturbed at something. "What the..." His flame shrank a small amount, mimicking a heart sinking. It looke like she was cut... But with what? And why was she-
Wait, it's dimensional island. The place isn't supposed to make sense. I mean, there were water powered golems, weird white guys without arms, and Robot bar keepers. Asking Just wouldn't be appropriate. The wax sticking to her jacket began to swivel, move, small movements like tentecles putting the jacket back on her.
"Where are my newly made manners?" he chuckled, shifting his Wax into place. Strangely enough, a second right arm began to grow under his first, being outstretched to Nepeta, while his real right stretched all the way to John. (he doesn't know John's left handed. XD) "The name's Waxevius Lantern, King of the Ignewax."

John jumped a bit at his abrupt introduction, then broke into a grin. "Uh, hiya!"
He looked back to Nepeta briefly, and winced a bit at his discovery, idly fingering his own neck on impulse. He covered up the gesture by adjusting his hood's collar before anyone could notice.
He was about to ask about it, but then Wax introduced himself, and he quickly decided to ask later. "Aha, Ignewax? That's what you guys are called? Neat!" He noted the outstretched hand and awkwardly reached out with his dominent hand to grasp it reversely, but gave the handshake all the same. "Haha, sorry I'm left-handed, bit of a reflex."

"Well, it's nice that we're all... getting to... um..." But she trailed off awkwardly as she subtly caught sight of that scar. She knew there was something far from normal about that scar; heck, it didn't look like anything from a wound that could be lived though... How in the world could she have gotten a wound like that? But Paula didn't have the heart to ask.

Nepeta casually readjusted her jacket. Either she'd forgotten about the scar because it didn't hurt anymore, or she was trying not to dwell on it. Whatever caused it was probably an unhappy memory.
She giggled at Wax's molding ability, shaking the second right arm. "Glad to meet you! I'm Nepeta Leijon, in case I didn't tell you before!" She gently wiped her tears that had been forming, accidentally getting some of Wax's... well, wax on her cheek.
She turned to Paula. "Sorry I ran away before, I was... just... a little upset with myself!" she apologized. "Thank you for talking to Waxevius in my place."
She straightened up a bit. "Now I think I have a question that's on all of our minds! Where are we and how did we pawssibly get here??"

Feeling Johns left hand, Wax grinned. "Adjustable." His hand began to mold, turning into a left hand to shake John's. After introductions were all said and done, he shifted his form back into his basic shape, wiggling a bit.
Then Nepeta asked the question. "Well... We might be here because we chose to be, or because we accidentally fell into a dimensional vortex that lead to here. Either way, we're all here, but..."
"...sorry, I don't really know much more than that." Trailing off from the others, he moved to the side and began doing something with his hands. Like he was molding something...

"Accidental sure sounds about right for me and Nepeta!" John spoke up once he withdrew, noting the goopy wax that stuck to his fingers. Idly, he wiped it off on the walls. "Your, um, subjects, I guess, told me we're in a crossroads between dimensions. So... does it have a name? Dimensional Crossing? Land of Portals and Caves? Or something?"
He looked to Nepeta. "Oh, uh..." he gestured to his own cheek. "You've got a bit of wax on your face, there..."

"Dimensional Island," Paula finally said when she finally found her voice again. "The place is called Dimensional Island. My friends and I tracked an old enemy to the island when he resurfaced some time ago. Then Ness recently disappeared, and I separated from the others to find him." Frowning, she glanced aside a little adding, "I still haven't found him yet..."
Smiling a little and looking back at the others, she then said politely, "My name's Paula, by the way. Paula Polestar."

"Oh! Hee hee! Thanks!" Nepeta wiped the wax off and gently added it to Wax's body. "Well we're not going to find furry many answers if we stay deep in these caves! We should purrobably go out and explore around the island!"
Nepeta smiled, and when no one in purrticular was looking, she went around a shallow corner and started scratching a doodle into the wall.

This wasn't so bad, he was actually having fun here, among all of these... other beings.
It made him wonder why he disliked humans so much.
"Well, don't forget that these caves are pretty much ours," Wax noted, still working out something in his hand. "We've been sliming around for about six months in here, and our flames keep the place well lit. In fact, how about I come with you guys?"
Turning his focus back to his hands, he smiled and looked for Nepeta. "Hey, cat girl." he called, slithering over to her. He had a chance to see the doodle, but didn't think much of it- unless his troops saw it and started making a fuss. "Listen, i have a few things to say... First off, if you like the caves here, nothing's keeping you from moving in with us. Second..."
A sly smile worked its way onto his face, as he showed her a tiny, strange object shaped like a bulb. "I want you to have this mini Ignewax wick." Closer inspection showed it looked exactly like Wax's, just... about an inch long. "It can help give you your own pet version of us, if you w-"
And then a pack of Ignewaxes ran in, the same three John met. "BOSSSSS!!!! You're alright!" they cheered, slathering the walls in joy.
(btw, the ignewax themselves are about 2-3 feet tall, probably just 2, and wax is 5 feet. they're pretty dang tiny...)

==> Be the other guy
You are now the other guy. You are TAVROS NITRAM, to be exact.
You are also A BIT SURPRISED. One minute you were rolling through the halls, exploring where you could, and the next you've found yourself laying flat out on your back on ground that was SUSPICIOUSLY DANK and RATHER MOIST.
A few feet to your left is your FOUR WHEELED DEVICE, toppled over onto it's side, one wheel spinning silently. It looks like you're going to have to start the long, arduous task of half dragging, half crawling over to it because after an UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT you've needed it to get around.
You grunt as you sit yourself up, planting your palms on the ground and attempting to scoot yourself backwards. You're beginning to feel A BIT NERVOUS, so you call out into the darkness that really isn't that dark for you.
"Uh, hello?"

"Oh, Dimensional Island! Okay, that makes more sense," John nodded. "And nice to meet you, Paula!"
Just then, his little candle buddies from earlier rushed in, sweeping under his legs to reach their lord and master. Watching them celebrate, he grinned in glee. For another dimension, this place wasn't half bad!
He then straightened up when, amongst the jolly cheers, a new voice echoed across the walls. "Huh?" It sounded a bit meek, like the owner of the voice was in trouble.
"Wait, hang on, guys--" He waved at them to try and get them to quiet down, gesturing down the tunnel before entering it. "Sounds like someone else might've fallen in!"

Paula gave John a thoughtful thank you nod at his hospitable words. Her attention was diverted to the three ignewaxes as they greeted their leader. She couldn't help but quietly giggle to herself; those candle creatures were kind of cute.
But then she heard the new voice just as John did. "I think you're right; whoever it it sounds nervous," she mused.
Reaching out with her powers, Paula picked up the newcomer's aura. "He's young... about our age... I think he's something like Nepeta... And he's feeling kind of anxious..." Inhaling a little before breathing out, she concluded, "That's all I can tell, really..."

Nepeta turned back to Waxevius, her doodle more apparent with his light: it was a doodle of her and John, holding hands, with a question mark drawn in between them. John's hood tail and her own tail were loosely entwined.
"Oh! Thank you," she said gratefully, inspecting the bulb. She pocketed it and bowed lightly to him. She hustled to go with John and Paula, following behind John obediently like a kitten.
Then she heard the voice. It sounded... familiar...
"I... I think it's a furriend of mine... pawssibly..." She stared into the darkness, glad for the minute night vision her eyes afforded her.

Hearing what everyone else heard, Waxevius got a bit serious. "Considering he doesn't sound like he's very confident, he might be in trouble this very moment. ...hold on, we don't even know what other cavern he's in!"
His tiny troop of three- who already had an idea of their boss's change of heart- looked at eachother. "Maybe the others can lead us to him?"
"With any luck," Wax huffed. "He might be somewhere easy to get to." A small look of disdain gradually entered his face. "Hopefully he's not in our main quarters... the others might not know what to do with him!"
