Emporio bites his tongue- clearly torn between immediacy and caution, as well as actually giving Kaiba some room to breathe. And think.

He ultimately lasts long enough to audibly groan a little at Catrina- This really isn't the time- before lowering his voice to something a little less dire and therefore perhaps a little more tolerable in the circumstance.

"...The fog of the woods erodes identity. That's why conversation becomes important," he says as calmly as he can. "If you're left alone with silence, it becomes easy for people to begin overlapping either with each other," the true horror: becoming Catrina, "Or with people who aren't even here."

...

It occurs to him that Catrina is moving- "Nope-" Emporio thus does the smart thing, and grabs molten wax. Not on his watch, buddy.

"Yes, I know he means this fog, it's the definition of the fog I'm--"

Kaiba has to resist the massive urge to shake his head out just to watch Catrina land in the murky drink. No. No, he's here to protect, not to harm. Protect. Protect!!

He mutters to himself ("Chocolate pudding, what an idiot.") as the "ear"-like whiskers on his head flick annoyedly.

"Great. So now, my punishment is to continue listening to all this chatter while you both cop a free ride--"

In the middle of his complaining, Kaiba finds that neither of his feet are moving now. It isn't for lack of trying though, he clearly tugs upward with his left, the muscles visibly flexing above the waterline.

...Only, it isn't water here, is it? The surface might be, but below is something far more dangerous.

"...Something's wrong."

It's not a sinkhole though. No, this is worse. But he's not going to panic, or panic his passengers. Not yet anyway.

Suddenly Row your Boat is stuck in my head :x

Alas poor Catrina, the fates conspire against her and her need for the forbidden chocolate pudding (it's definitely for the best though). Emporio has gotten a good hold of that warmed peanut butter like texture that is Catrina and Kaiba listened to his conscious.

Downside, Catrina is listening to Emporio explain the fog better and actually looks horrified for a change of pace. "Well shit! I don't want to end up thinking I'm Kaiba or worse...Nurse Chansey..."

Yep, Catrina still has much fear and loathing towards the much exhausted Nurse Chansey, truly a form of divine punishment.

The sudden stop of movement manages to halt Catrina's mouth from saying something truly regrettable...shit, Kaiba walked into the forbidden chocolate pudding...didn't he? Oh boy...somewhat useful advice kicking in.

"Okay...remember when I said lay on your back if you get stuck in a sinkhole? That's the same shit too with the chocolate pudding, just lay on your back. Emporio, game for rowing Kaiba like a boat to solid ground?"

Emporio looks down- and for the time being, tunes Catrina out. She's definitely still 'Catrina', after all.

"...That's not something we can lay back in," he says stiffly, sniffing at the air as he peers down. "...Especially not when you're with us right now Catrina."

He can guess what this is. There's a unique odor to it, albeit one that's waterlogged.

Worried, he whispers- "...How well can you move your legs..?"

This is tar.
