Lumi stripping down to the base layers of her winter weather gear and Astraea flexing were the combined straws that broke the proverbial camel's back - Tomoe's brain shorted out, unable to properly function. She stood stock still for a moment, a very noticeable blush starting to form on her face, while her brain tried desperately to force itself back into working order.
"I-I've gotta go, I'll be right back!" The young woman's form shifted dramatically in a sudden burst, suddenly towering over everyone standing upright on the shore while her skin turned azure, her hair inverted to white, and a third eye blinked open on her head under the horns that sprouted there. Even in her hybrid oni form, the blush remained, although now it was a decidedly more purplish-blue hue - though how long anyone had to see it was up for debate, as she suddenly rocketed up and off the beach, as if gravity had decided to reject her.
Tomoe came to a stop a few hundred feet above the ground, ceasing her movement as suddenly as it'd started.. And then she grabbed both sides of her face, feeling the heat of her skin, and groaned. "C'mon, pull yourself together - this is like an actual disaster scenario, you can't be a disaster in the middle of this...!" The oni removed her hands from her face, and then brought them back hard in a dual slap.
"Alright, think. Why'd I just fly off? I can't just go back down and pretend like this was for nothing..." She tapped her chin, casting her gaze over the island laid out below her, hoping to come up with some sort of idea. From her vantage point, it was pretty easy to see that this was pretty small, very tropical-looking island; there wasn't any sign of any civilization on the island, no clearings in or fire smoke rising from the forested section, and certainly nothing visible from where she stood in the air. There was a sheltered cove a ways up along the coast from where it seemed they'd all washed up, a ton of trees, and... Not a whole lot else. Tomoe frowned, wondering what she could make up with that information - and then it hit her, and she brought her fist down against her palm. "Oh!"
She drifted down a fair bit more slowly than she'd ascended - and she didn't quite come down far enough to put her feet on the sand again, instead opting to hover about three feet off the ground with her legs crossed. "Okay, so, I totally went up there to survey the island, and it seems like we're the only people here."
