Jade!

[Obviously this is Jade's fault. ...Maybe not fault; this is nicer than his cell, if not utterly confusing.]

I know you're here! Come out from... ...space!

[This is really confusing. The identical floor and surrounding environment is disorienting, but there are buildings, and... a chair? It's attractive, but not so much that he doesn't

[This is Asch's welcoming face as his ears are treated to the fabulous whining that is Dist the Crazy.

It's not too long after that when he spots the rogue scientist trying to be... well, a rogue. Asch is occupied with reading some files, and he doesn't even give Dist a cursory glance.]

[fontechno]

Oh... look who else is here.

[How can you not notice that hair? Sorry, Asch, you can never, ever fade into the background.]

[promisedsomeone]

[It's like pulling his gaze from these files is a laborious effort.

Also he is totally not stalking you in his home reality right now in an attempt to figure out whose side you're on. Nope. Not at all.]

You're late.

[fontechno]

Late? What is that supposed to mean?

It's like all of you people got together and put up a secret clubhouse in the Fon Belt.

[promisedsomeone]

I have nothing to do with them.

[It's a curt dismissal. Dist may be his elder, but he's not Asch's leader by any means.]

Jade was here before, and Emperor Peony arrived a little while after me.

It isn't a secret clubhouse. It's an involuntary experiment. You of all people should be able to appreciate that, even if you enjoy thinking of things in childish terms.
