Cinderella | Fables

[glass_secret]

[Cinderella may have fallen asleep on her flight back to New York, but she was pretty damn sure that this wasn't a dream. It seemed way too real for that to be the case. It leaves her to question how she got in this strange world.

[Her first instinct was to be pissed. Not only was she dragged from the Mundane World without her consent, but she was without her luggage as well. Her designer clothes, and weapons were nowhere to be found. She can deal without having a weapon for now. If she really needed one, she could just "borrow" from the other guy. But no woman should ever be separated from her designer clothes and shoes!

[After she calmed down from her little fit that may or may may had consisted of a ton of swearing, it was time to assess her situation. One, she was on a flight back home from a mission that was successful, so there were no immediate dangers to Fabletown that she was aware of at the moment, so that gave her a little more time to figure out how to get back. Second, she herself wasn't in any immediate danger that she could tell. Finally, after hearing her phone buzz a few times and scrolling through it, it became clear she wasn't the only from another world here.

[With that last bit in mind, she decides to make a video post, to see if a forward approach will yield some answers.]

What does it say about me when "waking up in another world" is not even at the top of my "strange shit that's happened to me" list? Really, fact that I'm here without my luggage has me more annoyed than waking up in the middle of BFE instead of in my nice cozy first class seat.

So, will anyone be so kind as to tell me where the fuck I am and how do I get back?

[Hey, there was nothing about her having to ask nicely.]

[smartassrationale]

[A response to Cinderella's question does come. Only it's in the form of a large talking cat with clothes. It's probably not the strangest thing she's ever seen.]

I can help with that. You're in Nautilus. Basically a world between all other worlds. Congrats on making it to the party.

[glass_secret]

[Far from the strangest thing. In fact it's less strange than on of her associates who is a normal size cat who wears boots, a hat, and a saber.]

A party huh? And here I am without anything to wear.

Can't say I ever heard of Nautilus before. Anything I should know about this place?

[smartassrationale]

Quick checklist;

The city is alive.

We have things called Reality Storms that affect the city and us, sometimes changing our pasts and memories.

You can now Bend reality and any special abilities you had before aren't going to work until you learn to Bend.

There are monsters in the outer areas of the city as well so be careful of those. That's the big stuff.

[glass_secret]

What I got from that is that this place is alive, and will fuck you over with storms and whatever beasties are lurking round. Sounds like fun.

Now then what is Bending exactly. I didn't have any special abilities back home so I'm not losing anything just by being here.

[smartassrationale]

Same here.

Here. [He raises his hand and pulls down his sleeve. Nothing up it. He holds his hand palm up now and suddenly a banana materializes in his hand.]

[glass_secret]

Interesting trick. So Bending is a type of magic. What's the catch? [Because there's always a catch when it comes to magic.]

[smartassrationale]

It's magic, in a sense but not fully. The catch is you're using pure will power to accomplish it. No words or wands.

Roller | TF IDW

[officerjuicebox]

[Are you used to giant robots? Sure you are. But you're probably not used to one this big. Okay so maybe Skyfire and the Iron Giant are/were bigger, but as far as Cybertronians go, this guy is probably somewhere around professional linebacker sized.]

[He's also looking a little lost.]

[More than a little.]

[Anyone want to help out the big guy?]

Re: Roller | TF IDW

[resettheworld]

[The massive robot is going to get help, from one of the smallest beings in Nautilus. A small white fluffy thing can see him from far away and is trying to wave at him.]

Golly gee! Hello Mr. Giant Robot! Are you new? I haven't seen you here before!

[officerjuicebox]

...

[What the heck is that.]

[No, seriously. That's... tiny. And it isn't metal. Or Cybertronian. At all. he has to squint down at the thing to make sure he's seeing it right.]

Uh.



Hi?

[resettheworld]

[The small thing smiles more and walks toward the giant robot.]

Howdy! I'm Asriel Dreemurr! What's your name?

[officerjuicebox]

You're also uh. Really small. Did you know that?

Roller. Hi.

[resettheworld]

[Asriel nods.]

I know. You're also really really big.

Jak | Jak and Daxter

[rightupyourtailpipe]

[It takes Jak a few hours after arriving to post a video. He's in the Western District from the looks of it, with a few KO'd spiders behind him. He isn't looking too happy as he props the lead pipe he found onto his shoulder.]

I wake up in a strange city, get attacked by giant mutant spiders, and I don't have my gun. I've had worse weeks.

The name's Jak. Where am I and has anyone seen a little orange guy? About two feet tall? Big mouth. Goes by Daxter. If you see him, let me know.

[originaldragoon]

You had worse? [She would hate to see what was like.]

I have not seen anyone of the description here, but I can answer the first part of your question. You are in Nautilus, a city that resides in between worlds.

[rightupyourtailpipe]

Yeah.

So I'm in a strange city called Nautilus that's between worlds. That bumps this up on the worst week ever scale. Still not the worst.

Unless you're going to tell me I've been poisoned too.

[originaldragoon]

No. There is no poison, so you are safe as far as that is concern. Though strange things do tend to happen around here.

[rightupyourtailpipe]

What kind of strange things are we talking about here?

[originaldragoon]

The weather for one thing. There was one time it rained candy. [That was a headache she will not forget soon.]

And there are storms that can change someone, either physically or mentally.

[rightupyourtailpipe]

...You do realize that sounds insane, right?

[originaldragoon]

I never claimed that this place was sane.

It is a city, that is literally alive, that exists in between worlds. That in itself sounds insane.

[rightupyourtailpipe]

[Jak groans.]

Okay. This might top my worst week list now. What do I do then? Anyway to get out of this city?

[originaldragoon]

Well then, you shall be happy to hear this. You can go back to your world anytime, just by going through the gates.

Also, time flows differently here. No matter how long you stay here, when you return to your world, a second would not have gone by.

[rightupyourtailpipe]

That sounds too good to be true. How does that work?

[originaldragoon]

That is were it can get tricky. By my understanding, the first time going through the gates to get back to one's world is a force of will.

[rightupyourtailpipe]

So I just have to force it to work...with my will? Like thinking really hard? There isn't any heel clocking, right?

[originaldragoon]

Why would one need to clock their heels?

But yes it is something like thinking hard and concentrating. It is pretty how this whole place works.

[rightupyourtailpipe]

I guess I'll give it a try. It sounds too easy to me though.

Why did I even wake up here in the first place?
