[Rukia's been silent, content to simply listen to the theories being presented. It's frustrating, to feel like they're so close to discovering the truth, only to be uncertain. There are still many possibilities and questions to consider. Having little to offer in the cycle of souls herself...at least for now...she joins the others on the platform. She'd worry about how to get back up, but some of them can teleport and fly should the platform fail to rise again. She glances at Chappopo.]

Coming?

'I'll, um...I'll just fly above you guys, thanks! Heh heh...!'

[Rukia shrugs. Once she's standing on the platform, she looks around for some sort of trigger. There has to be some means of making it go down, right? Is there--]

[Oops, and there it goes, all by itself. She blinks in surprise, nearly stumbling at the sudden shift of gravity as she looks around wildly. How...?]

Was it waiting for all of us? It's almost as if we were expected here.
