Oh, a ch - ild.....

Well. This just became the strangest occurrence in my life.

[Which for Crocker was saying a lot. Considering, he's body swapped with a few people, became a comic book super villain and an evil warlock. Chased a pink internet virus, saw a dinosaur transform in a dog. Not to mention things he doesn't even remember. Oh, and seen an alien. A green squid like one.]

You must be this Dib child, I've heard so much about. [Cue look of child hate]

Oh, I'm terribly sorry, Red Mist. [ She holds her hand at ready, the two fingers pointed over her shoulder as the blue lightning lights up all around her. ] But it's time for you and all the rest to go back to sleep!

[ On the last punctuated shot, Azula flings her hand out and sends the lightning shooting at him. ]

[ What do you do? You run right into him because you aren't looking where you're going. It's almost like running into the side of a bale of hay, a really big bale of hay, and Jack would know--it's happened to him before. ]

[ He backs up, rubbing his nose, and gets a good look at--oh. Oh. Well then. ]

You're joking.

Well, maybe not you, but somebody's joking. I don't know where this is, or what's going on, but this all has to be some kind of big, cosmic joke.

[ He frowns, up at the sky, at where he imagines the Man in the Moon would be, laughing at his own punchline. Because that's just how the Man in the Moon is, Jack thinks. He probably laughs at his own jokes. And if this is a joke, it's got to be one of his. ]

What? Coming to Nautilus? Yeah, most people say that. It IS pretty strange but things start to click after the first month or so.

That's right. Uh. Who are you?

[with a shriek and a flail of cape, Red Mist narrowly misses the lightning by flinging himself down to the ground]

What in the goddamn bitch FUCK, Azula?! I thought we were cool! Call off the fucking Thor fangirling!

Edited 2012-12-09 05:21 (UTC)

No. I'm talking about you, child. That Manchild back home has done more things with - FAIRIES! Being in this so called Nautilus place is almost normal. [Don't mind the man as he chews on his pencil like a psychotically before groaning]

Denzel Crocker.

Me, with you? A filthy commoner?

[ She breaks in a series of high-pitched, open-mouthed giggles. ]

Don't make me laugh!

Wait. Me? You're in Nautilus, with Bending and reality storms and you think I'm the strangest thing around?! How does that even make sense?! It's not like I'm a different species! We're human! Pure fleshy meaty human!

Right. Okay. Mr, uh...Denzel Crocker. So you're...what, exactly? From some sort of weird world like Nautilus?

Commoner?! I'm fucking richer than you, bitch!

[yanking out his guns, Chris points them both at Azula]

Just don't even fucking try that shit again! I mean it! Fuck!

YES! It's makes perfect sense! [There he goes twitching again]

Still - F!.... Mmmm... Awkward... I don't seem to have my big red marker on me....DARN IT! [Since he was completely planning on drawing an 'F' on your forehead Dib]

Well... [Trailing off, and just rolls his shoulder, he does look he could be Crocker's son]

That's Mr. Crocker to you.

[There's a beat as he looks straight into Dib's eyes. Which Crocker's blue eyes do swim with a large amount of insanity and lack of sleep but that's besides the point. With a hint of evil.]

Where I come from, I've seen my entire world change into a comic book.

And chainsaws transform into balloons.

[Now, Denzel could be making hockum up but maybe Dib will see the same glimmer in Crackpot's eyes that he has in his own, quest for the truth?
Considering all that crazy Crocker just rambled was in fact the truth.]

Edited 2012-12-09 05:57 (UTC)

[Frowning. Crocker does seem a little out of whack, but Dib's too self-secure to see any resemblance between them]

That sounds like some unusual paranormal activity, Mr. Crocker. Possibly the work of some all-powerful Deva, they're sort of jerks like that. But chainsaws into balloons? That sounds more like magic than anything science can currently produce.

What kind of evidence is there? Do you have one of the balloon-chainsaws? Although it probably..just looks like an ordinary balloon, but maybe there are some residual effects...!

[Funnily enough, Ginko isn't a stranger to strange places. But he usually remembers getting there. This place, this forest? He doesn't remember how he got here at all.

He's standing somewhere in the middle of the forest now, looking up at a tree and trying to identify it. If he can just figure out where he is...]

This is strange.

[He thought he knew the forests better than this.]

Look I know it's the work of magic. You don't have to tell me it's not child!

[There's a beat. That was the automatic reply to say the least. To everyone. Especially Turner.]

Deva? [What's that and are you going along with this?]

[Denzel is silent as his brain really needs to process this. 13 years of a child lying to his face about magic and the rest of them laughing at him about it.]

Did you... Did you just say magic?

It's Dib. Actually. My name is Dib. Why is that such a hard name for everyone here to remember?

And a Deva's kind of like a very powerful reality bender. They do weird things sometimes because they think it's funny. It's a little annoying, to be honest.

Magic. Right. Or paranormal activity, poltergeists, but it's almost definitely magic. Yep.

[Danny had been taking a rest from flying practice in a tree, but he hopped down from his branch when he heard Ginko's voice.]

Nah, it's pretty normal compared to what you usually get around here. Are you new?

[The sudden voice didn't alarm Ginko, but the sight of the voice's owner did surprise him a little. White hair and green eyes, just like his, belonging to a boy who had to be no more than sixteen--though this one had both his eyes. Still, he'd never seen anyone but him with white hair... Ginko raised his eyebrows a little.]

That depends. Where am I?

[Approaching from behind Jack, Ginko moves quietly through the forest--not because he's trying to sneak up on Jack, that's just what he does.

But hey, a person. Just what he was looking for.]

Excuse me! I think I'm a little... lost. [It hurt to have to admit that, dammit.] Could you tell me where I am?

[ The voice from behind startles him, and with a jolt he topples backwards off his seat. A dull thud leaves him upside down, pale fingers still clutch his staff as he stares at the newcomer. ]

I, uh...

[ It's kind of like looking in a mirror. An upside down, age-progressed-five-or-ten-years mirror. Not for the first time, Jack wonders what he'd look like if he could age. Maybe a little bit like this man. He rolls over and climbs to his feet. ]

You're...in the woods. [ An unhelpful quip. Jack grimaces. ] And, while I'd love to tell you where these woods are, I actually...don't...know.

[ He says this last with resignation, his shoulders slumping, frustrated. ]

Edited 2012-12-09 08:25 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. [He hadn't meant to do that :(] You o...kay...

[White hair. He hadn't seen that before, with the way the kid had been sitting. The kid looks nothing like he did at that age, but still... white hair. Ginko can't help wondering if this kid ran into a Tokoyami too, though he doesn't seem to have any obvious signs of that, other than the hair.

But back to the more important subject, which is that they're both lost. Ginko sighs, looking around at the trees again.] Great.

...I guess we'll just have to start walking until we find somewhere we recognize, or someone who can help.

[ She recognizes that voice. ]

Tenzin?

[ Jack looks around. It's nothing but forest, and he has no idea which way they'd go anyway, but figures, if this guy's gonna walk, he may as well follow and see where they end up. ]

I dunno, I mean, I was having a blast sitting around in the woods drawing stick figures in the dirt...[He rolls his eyes.]...but I guess we could go with your idea, too.

[ He's still staring at Ginko curiously in the meantime--the man can't be human, humans don't have white hair (except old ones, and he doesn't look that old), but more importantly, Jack has learned by now he's invisible to humans. Leprechaun? No, he's pretty sure the Leprechaun has red hair. Cupid? That doesn't even make sense. ]

...Are you the Man in the Moon? [ The question is abrupt--so abrupt, Jack is almost surprised to hear it come out of his mouth. ]

[Ginko snorts.]

Don't be a smart-ass.

[But the command is delivered in an almost absent tone of voice as he rifles through his pockets--he's not even annoyed, not yet anyway. His search eventually produces--yes!--a single cigarette, and... no matches. Ginko sighs again, and jams the thing in his mouth out of habit. The taste is better than nothing.

...and then he stares at Jack, utterly perplexed.]

...No.

[Time to pick a random direction and start walking. If Jack comes with him, he'll add,] Besides, the moon's supposed to be a woman. Where'd you get that idea?

[This is... definitely not Blithe Hollow. He's... not having a vision again, right? It was too sudden a change, and now that She was asleep...

Another forest. Well, New England was full of those. But he's never seen a tree with arms before. And the plant life here is so varied and strange...

Where IS he?]

[Gives a laugh] Interact with people that's rich. [Considering he interacts as little as possible]

So, you're saying my Conscience mind is here in this parallel universe rather then my own.... Wait, now that I'm here my own universe would be the parallel universe. [Twitchy eye twitch]

And this may just answer - STRING THEORY! And why you're not aware of every probable outcome consciously. Though in a world where magic and fairies exist -

Does magic exist here?

[Denzel watches and his eyes grow wide like when Turner just has something appear]

Focus, will and psychosis?

No, thank you. I don't drink. [Or smoke or do anything like that. Too stereotypical for any of that.]
