Princess Vivian | Sofia The First | OTA

[plays_the_mandolin]

Vivian isn't really big on the concept of cities in general. There are too many people for her to handle, too many faces and eyes and she always feels small and self conscious. Somehow an empty city is worse, so far, since she's used to having her dragon or her mother with her to help calm her nerves and keep her from getting lost. In lieu of that, she knows, she's supposed to go to the Royal Guard, but this doesn't look like anywhere in Enchancia she's ever been, or even anything like the kingdoms of her schoolmates that she's seen paintings of. The eight year old hides behind every corner before peeking out, both terrified to find someone and desperately hoping someone will appear to explain what's going on.

Her first thought is magic, of course - maybe poor Hugo was trying a teleportation spell, and something went wrong? He's a very good magician and his mistakes are pretty rare, but she remembered at school they said that teleportation was high-level magic. Maybe that meant it was too hard for even someone as brilliant as Hugo to get right. She hopes her mother isn't too mad at him. Vivian bites her lip, knowing she needs to get home so her mother doesn't worry herself sick and her dragon doesn't start snapping at people in confusion. And she would like nothing more than to throw her arms around them right now.

But this place is so big she's been walking for what seems like forever, and she hasn't seen a soul. Sure, calling out would help that, if she could manage to. Except for the fact she's quiet when everything is going well. Right now the only sound she can make is her heartbeat and quiet deep breaths as she walks down yet another street with more bizarre buildings, trying to be brave.

[theremustbemore]

"Hello!" from no soul, to a very loud one. The bright and cheerful Marin to the rescue... If she needed rescue from loneliness and confusion, anyway.

The smiling redhead was fairly new to the island, herself, but she was loving every moment of exploration and excitement.

Though she hadn't seen a place so empty, before. She was pretty relieved to see someone!

"Are you new here?" she asked. She hadn't seen everyone, but she recognizEd that confused look.

Re: Princess Vivian | Sofia The First | OTA

[eyesofthebifrost]

There is someone standing in the shadows of one of those buildings, someone so tall and still that he seems like just another statue himself. His head is turned slightly, and he is watching something in the far distance, not realizing that he is no longer alone on this street.

Finally the great, horned helm turns and his eyes pick up the tiny unknown child that is walking alone. Completely alone.

Nautilus, really? Small children are to be protected, not... there is a silent huff-sigh.

"You appear lost, little one."

Garrus Vakarian | Mass Effect

[thearchangel]

... Great.

[Well, this heavily-armored nonhuman sure looks thrilled to be here. But, he doesn't look terribly surprised, either. This really isn't the first time this has happened. He's stopped being surprised by waking up in weird places.]

Here we go again.

[plays_the_mandolin]

Vivian gave a startled shriek when she heard the voice from behind her, and ducked behind the nearest wall. There were no guards here to protect her from anyone and she wasn't terribly social to begin with. Peering around the corner, she feels like she should say something, maybe apologize for the shrieking, but her tongue is like lead in her mouth and she's left peering up a him. Some part of her wants to know what he is, but that's an awfully rude thing to just ask someone.

[Action]

[eyesofthebifrost]

Heimdall looks up from where he is reading. His head was bent so he did not see or hear the other's initial arrival. Still, the words cannot be missed.]

Who is we?

Tony Stark: Marvel Cinematic Universe (Pre-Ultron, No Spoilers)

[followingsnotmystyle]

[When the network comes on, Tony Stark can be seen looking into the screen. He sighs, reaching up to rub at his face. He looks tired, like he's been working too hard at something. With Tony, that just might have happened.]

Hello? My name is Tony Stark. And I seem to be a bit lost. It's not the first time I've woken up somewhere and not known how I got there... Probably won't be the last either. Look, I don't know what happened, but I need to get back.

I have people I need to get back to.

I'm fine. I don't need a doctor or anything like that. I do need to know what's going on so I can try to get home. Any information would be good. I also need to know where the exit is, okay?

[Truth is, he's lying. He needs a doctor and not to be left alone with technology.] If you have a lab or something like that, I'm interested in that too.

Just a hobby. Mild curiosity.

[reignbringer]

[ headtilt. he's... well. he doesn't know why he's surprised to see you here! Thor hesitates, though, because the exit is not a thing he knows how to offer precisely. ]

Welcome to Nautilus, Stark.

[ we will start here ]

[girlfriend_beyond]

You're Tony Stark?

This is Nautilus. You can get back to where you came from through one of the outer gates, but- it feels weird. And no time passes while you're here, so you don't have to worry about your people missing you.

Captain Steve Rogers|MCU|OTA|Spoilers for beginning of AOU

[waypastasking]

[A]
[A face appears on the screen. His jaw is set, and his arms are crossed over his chest. He looks none too happy to be there. It would be thee first time he woke up in a strange place, but come on ]

Really? Really? This is happening again. Can someone please tell me that this is some sort of joke that Barton came up with? Or Tony? Oh who am I kidding. Barton and Tony would never work together on anything.

[B]

Steve wakes up and knows that he not anywhere that he's ever been before. He doesn't have to have his sight to know that. He shifts and kneels, everything around him feels different. That and he can't feel the very familiar weight of his Shield against his arm or his back.

After considering his options, he decided that the best course of action was to find out where the hell he was, so he can be found making his way out of the forest.

a

[reignbringer]

[ lips... quirk up ]

They are not here to play that particular trick. [ he lifts his hands, showing them to be empty. he's also in casual clothes with his hair tied back, not wholly dissimilar to his own look at the opening of AOU ] And I promise I was not responsible for it either.

[ regret seeps into his face, then, the small smile fading ] I'm sorry.

Bruce Banner l MCU l Spoilers for end of AOU l OTA

[wearebothangry]

[A]

[The screen turns on and a rumpled looking Bruce appears. He speaks in a soft slightly frightened tone which is understandable given the week Bruce just had.]

Natasha...Steve....where am I? Is everyone okay...did we win?

[B]

Bruce was used to waking up in strange places. It came with the territory when you were on the run. But this felt wrong. One second he'd been the other guy on the Quinjet and the next he'd woken up...here where ever here was. Bruce decided the best way to figure that out was to explore and hope for the best...and no more robots..he really hated those.

A

[waypastasking]

[Steve looked at Bruce, looking mighty relieved, but he didn't know how much help he could give. ]

I am so glad to see you... in one piece.

Nautilis, and yeah we won.

[Depends on his definition of winning ]

Milton Dammers | The Frighteners | near-20 year old spoilers?

[roadmap_of_pain]

(Typist's Note: We apologize in advance, this guy is an emotional and mental wreck, thus sometimes his brain to mouth filter doesn't work. We assure you that the typist is a much nicer person. Also, I apologize for chickening out royally, the last time that I TDMed this nutter: chalk it up to character jitters!)

[Option #1]

He's settled into the Eastern district: of all the places in Nautilus, it reminds Dammers the most of Fairwater, a place that still haunts him, in ways that bring him comfort and also disquiet. He's taken to prowling its streets and byways, walking along the shoreline road, looking out over the ocean. The wind off the water cuts through his topcoat, and yet it braces his senses, obliging his mind to ignore the whispers and the bad memories that haunt its corners and corridors and to focus outward.

During one of these perambulations, he spies the towers of a cathedral. Holy ground in this strange place, or is it a trick of the powers that dwell in it? His curiosity as an investigator gets the better of his trepidation as an injured human being, and he turns his path toward the cathedral, fully intending to explore it...

[Option #2]

[He's peering into the device (not visible to the viewers, but apparently, it's a 1996-era cellphone, and he's fumbling with it.]

I don't remember having one of these devices in my pocket. Who slipped it in there? [Taps it with one index finger, tilts his head at it, peering right into the lens till you can only see one of his black eyes, seemingly all pupil, for a moment.] There's studies that claim that excessive use of these things can cause brain tumors, and that's the *last* thing I need to deal with.

[Who let Skullgrin have the keys to the Welcome Wagon?]

[smileofdeath]

[Have this big, bony face in your screen]

Hello! I am Skullgrin. Welcome to Nautilus!

Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik | Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)

[baldie]

[ A voice sounds over the network, managing to come off in a tone that registers as both forceful yet confused. There's no need to switch the video on yet. Though he's eager to show off Nautilus's future ruler, there is a time and place for that. ]

This is hardly the sort of place I expected to end up in. Nevertheless, quite a welcome change of pace from my former locale. Perhaps one of you would be so kind as to elaborate on my current situation?

[makesright]

[ j u u s t this face for now. He's trying to figure out if he knows you before he approaches.

He's sure he's met you before, but he can't... quite... place it. ]

Strongarm | Transformers RID15 - Possible spoilers through True Colors

[nosmallfeet]

Something was wrong.

To be fair, to the young Autobot cadet, things hadn't stopped being wrong since she'd first followed the lieutenant through the space bridge and found herself on Earth. This was a completely different level of wrong, however. She might have relegated the strange readings she'd picked up to a sensor malfunction, but she knew the grounds around the salvage yard by heart. She wasn't in the same forest anymore. She could see the difference in the vegetation. Subtle, but noticing the details was one of the things that separated the average students from the very top of the class. She opened her comm link, at first a little surprised by the lack of familiar radio traffic, but it didn't keep her from reporting in. Article Three, Section Four - Anything out of the ordinary should immediately be reported.

"Lieutenant, this is Strongarm. My tracking systems appear to be malfunctioning. Are you able to track my current position?" Bumblebee was usually quick to respond, but she didn't let the lack of immediate reply phase her. "If any Autobot is picking up my signal, please respond." She closed the comm and frowned. "I don't know what's going on, but I won't be shocked if Sideswipe has something to do with it."

hi hi 8)

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Hippie McAutobot here didn't usually go out of his way to explore the woods, but he was glad he'd decided to today. It looked like they had another new arrival, and he knew from experience just how disorienting suddenly finding yourself here could be.

"Hello?" He wasn't exactly sneaking up on her on purpose, but he was kind popping out from behind a couple trees. He held his hands up to show that he didn't intend to be a threat. "Sorry, but your comm signal isn't likely to get picked up."

Himura Kenshin | Rurouni Kenshin | OTA

[hitokiri_rurouni]

[A figure with thick, long red hair pulled into a pony tail, a distinctive cross-shaped scar on his left cheek, and wearing a pink and white Japanese style swordsman's gi, complete with a katana through his belt steps through the gate.]

[And stops.]

[He's...very clearly gaping around at his new surroundings. Someone help this poor guy before his brain melts?]

BC why not (Why yes, I /do/ happen to be signed in to his account 9,9)

[derpjack_ftw]

There's another who's just arrived. Well, no, that's not entirely true. Just returned. Again.

He looks around. "Wow...how long was I gone this time?"

It's then that he spots the bewildered redhead. He crouches down, head tilting in a friendly way. "Hi. You new, kid?"

Ruby Rhod - The Fifth Element.

[hotrhod]

GOOOOOOD MORNING NAUTILUS!!

I'm comin' to you LIIIIIIVE [ Echo effect~ ] from the mysterious mystery that is the city of change. Always Changing and re-arranging and confusing my mind!

Today we find the answers to the questions of WHAT. WHERE. WHO. And WHY! What is this place, Where is this place, who brought me here without a crew and Why?!

[ Dramatic pause. Cricket noises ensue. ]

No, seriously! I want an answer to that last one! Come on people answers, answers, answers, answers!! [ Finger snappy noise. ]

8D

[goodnight_vale]

[And yet, a voice does answer him!]

Oh...oh! You must be the new intern. Why it's about time that station management got around to hiring a replacement, after that gruesome incident last month.

[Still, he sounds rather upbeat about it, all things considered.]

And already reporting in the field, I see. So eager. Boy...they really don't train interns like they used to.

Shippo | Inuyasha | OTA

[foxtop]

This city could be summed up in just two words: really weird. The fact that he had no idea how he had even gotten here aside, Shippo didn't know what to make of the place outside of its being unlike anywhere he'd ever seem. At first he thought it might be Kagome's world, but it didn't look like anything he pictured where she talked about her home. And he figured he had a pretty good picture of what her world was like. So it basically came down to him wandering a strange city with no idea how he got here...all by himself. And his fox magic wasn't working. At all. Needless to say, he was a little uneasy. Hoping to find his friends, Shippo had taken token to wandering around, trying to appear inconspicuous. Or at least as inconspicuous as a very young fox demon could, peering around corners and in doorways.

[louisethezero]

Louise has seen enough strange things here by now, but it was still a process to get used to it. Seeing the small fox boy made her a bit curious. If nothing else, he looked a little lost. Someone new probably. She was still fairly new herself, so maybe she wasn't the best person to try to help out, but why not try at least.

"Excuse me. Do you need help?" she called out to him.

Vanellope von Schweetz | Wreck-It Ralph | OTA

[baronessboogerface]

[ What's this? Has something gone wrong? Is there a glitch in the system? ...why yes! There is a glitch. In Nautilus, to be specific. A glitch with big hazel eyes and black hair mussed up with bits of candy and sweets. Her name is Vanellope and she's quite curious as to how she ended up in this neck of the woods.

She's also holding her device upside-down. ]

Hey, where did this thing come from, anyway?

[ Tap tap. Tap tap tap. Hope you like looking at fingers poking cameras, because there's a bit of that for a few seconds. Vanellope quickly loses interest and looks up at her surroundings before glancing back. ]

I don't remember there being any new ones plugged in this week. What gives? [ Nevermind the fact that she somehow ended up in it without even taking the tram out. Rude.

If you want to catch her, she's probably skipping around various parts of the city, trying to get her bearings and keeping an eye out for any hazards. Hey, at least it isn't as dangerous as Hero's Duty, but one can never be too careful outside of one's own game. ]

Satoshi Mochida | Corpse Party

[reluctantlead]

[Anyone ever wonder what Nautilus would be like if, say, it had a seventeen year old Japanese kid fresh out of a dimension full of horror and death stumbling around? Because that's what's happening.

This particular boy is walking around in what appears to be the southern district, and he looks... well, puzzled would be putting it mildly. Scared to death would also be putting it mildly, because at this point, he's just expecting another trick. Any second now, this relatively peaceful forest will fade away into a dream. Any second, he'll find the corpse of another student, or worse, one of his friends waiting for him and staring up at him with those dull, glassy eyes.

Maybe he would even meet their ghosts, usually drifting a few feet away or so, always in pain, doomed to forever suffer that pain, and then the sky would blacken and he would turn around and he would see Heavenly Host Elementary looming against the clouds and - ]

YUKA!!

NAOMI!!

[He surges onward through the trees. Panic is already settling in on this one. HAVE FUN.]

[timeography]

At the same time a eighteen year old girl is also looking around, she's less horrified than confused.

She's being a lot more quiet while she looks around. She's hoping to find that deer she found before. It had lead her though the storm and to the lighthouse yesterday, maybe it would lead her out of this place if she could find it. Instead she heard the voice of a boy yelling.

She turns to try and find the boy only to have him barrel into him and knock her down.

"H-hey..."

Skeletor | The New Adventures of He-Man | OTA

[denebriated]

[Just when you think things just simply couldn't get worse, the Universe apparently takes it as a challenge. Careening out of control through space in a pod that was clearly built for one occupant but was now forced to hold two very unhappy travelers- Well, that was pretty bad.

Now replace space with a city, a cramped pod with a kitschy bar stool, and minus one unwilling compatriot. It sounds better, doesn't it?

Except its not. All of Skeletor's powers are gone and the free ice-cream float he is currently holding does not make up for it in the least. Needless to say, he is one cranky skull-faced ex-sorceror.]

Are we related?

[smileofdeath]

[Well this is different!]

Hello! I am Skullgrin! Welcome to Nautilus?

Uncle Chuck | Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Sonic, post-reboot)

[tinkerhog]

[Option A]

[The video turns on and shows a rather old looking light blue hedgehog. He shares a striking resemblance to Sonic. Perhaps they are related?]

Hello? Can anyone hear me? I don't seem to be where I was, and I haven't the foggiest idea where "here" is. I do need to get back quite soon, especially before dark.


[Option B]

Uncle Chuck looks around his surroundings, watching out for either allies or danger. He last remembered trying to do some research in the world's current situation. He felt concerned about Sonic, due to him having been exposed to some of the Dark Gaia energy samples. He told his nephew to go see a doctor, but as usual the boy was being stubborn.

He hoped trying out the communicator didn't turn out to be a mistake. He wasn't quite as young as he used to be and he had nothing to defend himself with.

A

[mon_dieu]

[Wha... Once he gets over his surprise, he tries to be formal and polite.]

Sir Chuck! I am surprised to see you, but also glad you are all right.

King Shadow | Archie Sonic Comics (Pre-Reboot)

[oneyearconquest]

Option A

[Water and chaos energy were what had surrounded him last he knew. Then he opens his eyes and finds himself in a barren wasteland. The ground is black beneath his shoes and the sky above bright red. Two moons hang in the sky, one normal and the other in the shape of a heart with a bite taken out of it.

Shadow stares up into the sky as the video watches him without his knowledge. He frowns, though that's usual. What isn't usual is the crown on his head and the cape he brushes behind him.]

Hmm...no. She didn't do this. Where am I? Chaos control? No. I would have felt it. How did I get here? Suspended animation again?

[He looks around before his red eyes find the communicator at his feet. He reaches down to grab it, ending the video as he does.]

Option B

Remaining where he appeared would only allow his enemies to find him. Shadow moved through the wasteland he found himself in, passed buildings and a pit of corpses. This place truly was a disaster. One, perhaps, he could use. Yet in the distance he saw civilization. He moved from the west into the central plaza and came to a stop beside a circle of arrows and what seemed to be a dome in the ground.

What was this place? He looked to the North, South, and East. Where was he to go from here? Where even was this place? Finding someone to explain would be necessary. His hand moved to the crown on his head. It was still there. It would give him away, however none could stop him. He wouldn't fall victim to the Guardin's daughter so easily again.

Information had to come first. He began to search out another living soul in this place. They would give him the information he sought. One way or another.

A

[mon_dieu]

[Was that... Shadow? He supposes it could be worse, in regards to people coming here, and maybe he can bug Sonic a little. But why was he wearing that unusual outfit? He tries to send a message back.]

Shadow! Shadow ze hedgehog, ees zat you?

Jazz || Transformers: WfC/FoC/whatever that continuity name actually is

[grapplingpoints]

[ well what's a 'bot to do when pretty much stranded in unknown territory... pulling one of his partner's stunts and keeping out of sight would probably be the best course of action. too bad Jazz is just a little big for that. is this the planet on Shockwave's charts? possibly. hard telling without good intel, you know?

the radio silence is just a little unnerving, to be sure. there's not even one peep from anyone - and his partner at least likes those one liners and quips enough that Jazz never has to suffer silence for too long.

there's nothing for it, really. for the moment it seems better to just drive in vehicle mode than to test the strength of those buildings with a grappling hook. it looks like there are some larger buildings in the distance so that's where he decides to head for. ]

yeah that one

[automobileenthusiast]

[Jazz isn't the only one on the road today. Apparently the flashy sports car coming up behind him is in some kind of ridiculous hurry, seeing as it just swerved to his side and started passing him. After blaring the horn, of course. Sure, Knock Out could say "hi", but somehow being totally obnoxious was more fun.]

Amy Rose | Sonic the comic/Fleetway

[arrows4thorns]

A small pink hedgehog could be seen wandering around the foggy streets of the northern district, she looked confused, as most new arrivals do.

"Okay, I'm pretty sure this wasn't where I was meant to end up." Amy muttered as she pulled some kind of comication device off her belt. "Tekno? Are you sure you sent me to the right zone? I don't see Sonic anywhere... Tekno?"

Amy shook the device a few times before sighing and cliping the device to her belt again

"Looks like something's blocking the signal."

There wasn't much she could do about that, Amy and Tekno had been using the Eternity Ring in an attempt to find Sonic after they had lost contact with him, and now the same thing had happened to her. It didn't look like she had much choice but to try and find her own way home. And So, Amy started exploring the city. If she was lucky she'd find Sonic on the way.

[mon_dieu]

Due to the fog, Antoine couldn't see Amy just yet, only a silhouette. But he did hear her voice, and as Zones tend to work in funny ways, it sounded remarkably like the little Amy Rose he knew. Another ally! What good news!

... And she'd bug the hell out of Sonic. Even better news.

"Bonjour, mademoiselle Rose!" He called out, heading for the shadow and the voice. "Another proud Freedom Fighter comes to Nautilus!"

Manic Hedgehog | Sonic Underground

[drummerhedgehog]

Changes of scenery were becoming a regular thing as a proud member of the Sonic Underground, but this was not that. The scenery was nice, if you liked trees and big gates, but something was definitely up here. He'd gone to sleep on his bunk in the van, now where was he?

Manic would've probably thought it was a Dr. Robotnik trap, if it weren't for the fact that he never worked that way. If he'd been captured alone, he wouldn't have been dropped in the middle of nowhere, he'd be on his way to being roboticized. It felt more like an Oracle test, but the Oracle didn't seem to keen on just dumping that kind of thing on them. The only time they'd seen him since day one was when they'd gone looking for him. So while it felt more right than a trap, it didn't feel right.

Deciding that he wasn't going to figure anything out just standing there and wracking his brain, the green hedgehog started walking, deciding that away from the gate was his best bet. Maybe he'd run into one of the locals.

[mon_dieu]

Normally Antoine would have kept on walking - he was late to a bending lesson with Tails, and he didn't want to disappoint the boy - but something about this young man gave him pause. It was probably the fact that he was a hedgehog - and only a few worlds had hedgehogs like he knew.

Plus, he recognized that confused look all too well. It was a newcomer. May as well spare a few minutes being polite, Tails would understand.

He cleared his throat to get the boy's attention. "Bonjour, monsieur."
