. . . Well, I suppose I don't have any better ideas.

He started doing that

He didn't really seem to be finding any way out.

In fact, it almost felt like he was going deeper, not towards the surface.

But it was hard to tell.

They stopped. Could I dig out?

How should I know? You're the fox, not me.

The voice paused.

I'd say . . . no, though. We're probably way too deep for you to just dig your way out.

I don't think we're going to get out of here like this.

I . . . honestly have no idea. I don't even know if there IS a way out of here.

“I think you’ll find directing things at me is more difficult than you’d think.” People were beginning to leave the party, since Rebus had declared it over (and because withergeists had attacked). 

The zombies disappeared, and some drinks rose out of the floor. A wall dissolved, and Shoe moved towards her - or perhaps she moved towards Shoe - as the floor shifted. “The endurance test is over - you have a few minutes to rest,” Rebus said from all around. 
The laser was quite effective, clearing the zombies with very little effort. After a few minutes, though, one zombie appeared with a polished shield. 
“Good. I shall return.” Rebus then disappeared, leaving behind a teleporter so he could come back, or get Mr. Whitlock any needed supplies. 
Rebus sent Lady Bug the core section of his soul. 

Wow. I wish I could draw like that… (too weird would be a problem, but it didn’t occur. Too hot would be less of a problem, considering that Rebus can choose how he looks) 

I think canonically Rebus needs glasses if his technology is shut off - they look good, though I’m not sure they fit with the image he’s trying to create (if he wasn’t trying to be villainous and larger-than-life, he would wear them). 

Relatedly, his posture there matches either completely comfortable and not feeling a need to pretend, or luring people into a false sense of security. During the Dr. Rebus plot he’d basically appear exactly as he is there, but right now he’d be more confident - coat or cape more open so it can billow dramatically, hands out of his pockets so he can bask in applause and attention (not sure how to describe that posture better), and either standing straight with his head back or lounging against something. 
Color scheme is mainly greyscale, with accents of either orange, purple, or green. There’s usually black, grey, and white patches arranged to look dynamic - going longways, with diagonal boundaries between them. 
The teleporters (and most other small devices he has) are sleek and futuristic -  some of the devices (the portal gun and turrets, namely) in Portal are pretty close, though they’d be in Rebus’s color scheme. 
Rebus’s eyes are orange, as might be expected. Gear he’d definitely have is pretty much just a teleporter and a laser - everything else can be done by utility fog, or can wait for the utility fog to construct it. (Utility fog itself is basically invisible, though Rebus often has it light up when he’s showing off.) 

When the zombies eventually caught him, they dissolved and a wall opened, revealing a similarly tired Beosta. (See above) 

Yup. Rebus wanted to test each person’s combat ability individually, so they’re in different arenas. 

"How peculiar. Why do you suppose that is?"

While he spoke, Bacon Narrated his conversation partner's hair to be neon green.

Cricket sighed, drawing Savior Complex and Moment, with one in each hand.

A strange human made out of cookie appeared next to him (Yes he did just leave Utility (@Through The Living Glass) and Bacon (@xinoehp512). He can't cookie clone yet). "Hello! Do you want a cookie?"

Bacon blinked, then sighed. 

" Another one bites the dust," he lamented. "Pretty soon I'll have no one to talk to at all!"
