Romulus Lupin || Assassins Chronicles || BLAME SOPHIE

[1rose4death]

He stands in the middle of the Northern District, face scrunched and cigarette forgotten in his hand. Nothing was familiar, his mind rolling through city after city after city in an attempt to pick where he was. But, it was useless. This was not familiar, not even from books or televisions.

Flicking the cigarette to the ground and stepping on it he shrugs, oh well, it was clean and relatively modern. Nothing to worry about for the moment. He whistled an old song and started down the street, wobbling a bit as his feet tried to catch up to the rhythm of the city.

"Damned place. can't get a 'old of it." The accent was warm, a meld of Creole and Barbados, "Can't get 'old of anyone come t'ink a it." So alone...but not unarmed, he'd had worse odds.

"Oh!" He came to a swaying stop, staring straight up at the sign reading 'Furman's Bar'. "Now 'is place...'as merits."

DIRK IS SO UPSET... but what else is new lawl

[the_cabby]

Dirk had meandered back to his safe place. The bar. He sat and heard the door open behind him, turning to see who came and dropped the glass in his hand.

In a rush he charged at the man and grabbed him fully, dragging him to the far end and pinning him against the wall.

"You are not here!"

Please be a dream. Please be a nightmare! Please, oh please, let this be another horrible prank by the city!

[bigbadrose]

Rose is spinning around on a stool in the bar, drinking Vitex from a silly straw and looking a lot less like she's legal age and more like a child who really shouldn't be in a bar. Oh well.

"AND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIi~~~~IIIII~~~~ WILL ALWAYS LOOOOVE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU~!" she sings along loudly with the jukebox, hanging upside down from the stool, hair still not touching the ground, and boots hooked on the bar --

And choked at the sight of a new person in the bar.

"OI!" Totally not embarrassed at being caught being ridiculous, what?

"Bit early to be drinkin', don'tcha think?!" Okay, a bit embarrassed.

Najaran | Culdcept Manga | Endish of book 5

[najaran]

Waaa! That was such a good nap! Odd, that Najaran didn't remember falling asleep... but someone told her to WAKE and she did. Odd though.... Master Horowitz usually wasn't so nice when he woke her, usually he screamed at her. 'Course usually by the time she heard him he'd been calling for a while. And it didn't sound like Goligan's voice. Almost sounded a bit like... "Kigi...?" she asked as she pushed herself into a sitting position, her large earrings swatting against her neck as they swayed.

But by the time she was sitting she knew it couldn't have been Kigi. Kigi was....

She swallowed hard and reached behind herself pulling a single card from her deck. Gargoyle. She rested it lightly against her forehead and closed her eyes. "Not gone," she whispered to the card. "She's not gone, she's right here."

She put the card back in her deck, surprised at how difficult it was. Then she looked around for the first time. Goligan would have given her a bruise for that, for not noticing where she was sooner. Alta would have given her a hard time too. Which really wasn't fair, since Ganz was usually too drunk to know where he was, and Joaquin only ever knew where he was in his book.

She sulked a bit as she took in her surroundings. Where on Rakan was she? She'd never seen any place quite like this. She groped around on the ground for...

There was no cane beside her, no walking stick. Where could he have gone? She pushed to her feet on her own, used to having Goligan to lean on, physically as well as emotionally. Where was she? How had she gotten here? Dimension Door?

She rubbed sleep from her eyes, trying to remember. She had been with Master Horowitz, looking for Zeenith Dragon-Eye... And now....

She stumbled back. "This... this isn't good...." she said softly to herself, horror dawning as she realized that she had just vanished from Master Horowitz's ship and had wound up somewhere utterly unfamiliar. And she was alone. This was not good. Not good. Her master was going to be SO ANGRY!

"IT ISN'T MY FAULT!" she called, hoping that if she was loud enough, he would hear her. She didn't stop to think about who else might hear her as well. "I DIDN'T MEAN TO LEAVE, MASTER!"

Could he open a Dimension Door and bring her back? She didn't think he had that card, but then again, she hadn't known a lot about him before he sent her off to Grubel. Her Master said that the titles and the history don't matter, that she knew him better than anyone did but...

She sniffed.

But she didn't even know what was in his deck! In his secret snack hiding places, sure. In his bathroom, unfortunately. She even knew about his Dragon Eye, now. But Dimension Door?

She clutched her hands in front of her, empty, almost imagining she could hear Goligan complaining that she was strangling him. She hadn't felt so alone in a very long time... and she was coming to discover that she didn't like it....

Newt Scamander | Fantastic Beasts (warning for Crimes of Grindelwald spoilers)

[notbigonhugs]

[A]

"I've chosen a side." Newt said softly, embracing his brother but the next thing he realized was that he was waking up. Had he even been tired? After everything that happened, Newt reasoned, he must have been, but he'd have never fallen asleep there with his brother and Jacob around to worry about.

Taking a moment, Newt looked over himself, checked for his wand, his case. Content that he was mostly intact- Niffler and Pickett seem to have been missing- he decided that exploring and getting his bearings was probably the best course of action.

"Hello- yes excuse me. Do you have a moment?"

[B - network]

[Newt took a little while to figure this out. Figure it out he did though so here he is, in all of his awkward glory, Hufflepuff scarf wrapped around his neck and all.]

Hello, sorry to bother you all. My name is Newt Scamander, I'm a- ah, I study animals. [Different as this place is, he should still be careful with the Statute of Secrecy.] The more unique the better.

I was hoping to hear about any you all may have encountered. For a book. I've been working on a book about them.

B

[younghero]

Unique animals?

[Link was excited. Finally, an interesting question!]

In Termina there's a fox with three tails called a Keaton. They're pretty nice, even if they do like to tell puzzles and riddles.

B - video

[agathaheterodyne]

[For the best he didn't mention magic, if he wanted a reply from Agatha.]

"Naturally born, experiments, constructs, or descendants of experiments or constructs?"

[The woman asking had a weasel around her neck. The mustalid in question was bright orange, had a sharp teeth that looked more at home on a shark than on a small mammal, brass bolts in its neck, and, of course, six legs.]

[The creatures paws were resting on the trilobite design locket she wore tight to her throat. On her head clinging to her reddish hair, was what looked like someone had cast some sort of life spell on a pocket watch. Its face was replaced by a single eye that was watching intently, and it had small little hands and feet at the end of limbs that were just as small.]

The woman herself had large nearly frameless glasses that made her green eyes seem more prominent, and a bit of oil on her face.]

A

[wisdominshadows]

"Yes, of course," Zelda replied, and turned toward her questioner with a polite smile. She certainly had the time to spare; aside from a trip to the library, she hadn't planned anything for the afternoon.

"Did you just arrive here, sir?"

A.

[najaran]

Najaran was also new here, and a little distressed at the absence of one of her usual companion. What was she supposed to do without Gooligan. Not only was he a friend and advisor, but he was also useful! How was she going to hang laundry without him? Or stir things?

When she heard the question, the young girl jumped a mile, spinning. One hand went behind her back as if to draw some sort of weapon, but as soon as she got a look at him, her hand came to her chest instead, as she panted with reaction. "You scared the skin off of me!"

She was of Hogwarts age, on the younger end, but she didn't look much like a Hogwarts student in her sleeveless blue and gold dress, with the huge earrings, the braided tails hanging off of the large rings that dangled from her ears.

Panting a bit, she made like she was going to lean on a walking stick with her other hand, but as there was nothing there, she stumbled. If he didn't catch her, she would catch herself, but there was very much that moment of whoa, with all expected sound effects.

A. Since you've played with Kaylin, okay to skip the whole description?

[kaylinneya]

Enter a short woman with a Pokemon on her shoulder, chewing on her hair. Her face was an open book, and it was clear that she was ****** off. She scowled at him. Why the ****s did she get all the new people? And she was sure he was new. She would have noticed someone like him. Something about him prickled at her arms.

But she took a breath and forced her face into a professional mask. "Let me guess, new here?"

The small flygon looked up from her hair, made a small "gon" then went back to eating her hair.

A. sorry, she's intentionally cold.

[memories_of_me]

The woman was outside of her diner, where she had been clearing snow from her stoop. She was dressed in clothing that was muggle in shape, but not in design. The high necked black blouse had silver buttons with etched circular characters, and that could be almost muggle, but of a high quality. The short black skirt with the silver pleats was on the border, along with the black and silver sneakers. the leggings however.... were NOT muggle appropriate. They were jet black with silver lights, a map of a foreign night sky, but slowly, gradually, and in a specific order, each star faded and died while the remaining ones twinkled with varying intensities.

Her hair was in a tight french braid that ended in a black and silver scrunchie, and despite the cold she wore no coat. She set her shovel aside at his question, and crossed her arms. "No. I do not.

B. Video

[death_from_above]

"I mean, how unique are we talking?" [Asked the orange cat.] "And will I be paid in fish?"

A.

[guru_clef]

No need for the statue of secrecy with this one. He looked like a Hogwarts first year who was tricked into ill fitting robes of the wrong color and gaudy accessories. Like the gemmed headdress that had one stone sticking out from the center looking like a blue unicorn horn.

But for all he looked to be the age of a first year.... what first year ever moved about on a floating spit of ground, complete with grass, surrounded by a pastel coloured magical sphere? He was floating a good foot off the ground, and adjusted to be at eye level as he drew close. He leaned on his staff - which was taller than he was - and nodded. "Yes. Of course. I presume you are new?" His smile was warm and welcoming, he looked like a child but... he did not sound like one. And his magic certainly was not that of a child.

[b]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I might be able to tell you a few, but I am sure you have encountered all of them and more besides/

[With a fond, friendly smile, he adds:]

Hello, Newt.

[waterwhip]

I met a bear once!

Kate Stewart | Dr Who | OTA

[scienceleads]

Kate would love to say that this was new, but sometimes finding yourself in a place where you didn't expect did come with the territory. What was new was not being able to work out where she was within five or so minutes.

Twenty minutes after beginning to walk around, she had no more information than when she started, and she was starting to get frustrated. It really was intolerable, which was why she was staring at the architecture intently, hands on hips as she tried to search for any detail that would help.

Re: Kate Stewart | Dr Who | OTA

[borntolove]

As Kate walks about lost and looking for answers she'll find a certain Time Lord meditating in just his blue pinstripe suit and pants; sandshoes off and his legs criss-cross in the snow as he's meditating and trying to deal still with the loss of The Master from this place and also with someone dying his in arms as well.

He's not sure who it is; but from within the forest can sense movement but can't place the pattern of who.

It's not one of the Weeping Angels and it's not Rose, Jack, Ianto, one of himselves or the kids.

"Who are you?"

The Doctor asks; without opening his eyes.

[reverse_the_polarity]

The small egg shaped device zipped around the corner and bounced right into the blonde's head. It tumbled to the ground, retracting it's flight arms as it did so to become nothing more than a very simple looking metal egg as if there was nothing to see here at all. Fortunately or not, it wasn't alone and the man who rounded the corner hot on it's trail very nearly stumbled into the new arrival too. Only a fancy maneuver something like a dance saved the pair of them from crashing into the snowy pavement. "I'm terribly sorry but have you seen..." His hand released her elbow as he pointed, "...that. It's first test flight hasn't exactly gone to plan."

Air Raid | Transformers G1

[prince_of_peril]

[ooc: No intention of apping for now. Just getting a feel back for one very-rusty old voice + trying things out. Also continutity is mainly the G1 cartoon, but pulling a few smatterings from the comics + later series (such as Primus, etc)]

A.

So this wasn't the biggest city Air Raid had ever seen, not by far, but it was brand-new to him, so the mech has gone exploring, checking out the various districts. The Cybertronian-sized buildings defintely catch his interest, and he pokes around them more thoroughly... disheartened to find that most are empty and abandoned. He ends up finding the Northern district very interesting. Big Ben, and the smaller-than-normal Eiffel Tower get a curious glance out of him, as he's seen the real things before on various flights over Europe, and he wonders if they were the real thing, pulled into this reality, or just copies; in the end he realizes it doesn't make much difference. Med Bay, even if it does seemed to be staffed by organics, really does feel like Ratchet would be right at home there. The Transfomer-sized buildings next to it look like they could have housed a bunch of mechs, but... like the other buildings, it seems to have been empty for ages. Furman's Bar is cool, and hey! It even serves energon! Air Raid thinks he might have heard some of the older Autobots mentioning something about a Furmans, maybe. There just weren't any here to ask...


B.

Air Raid was bored. There really wasn't much for the lone-Transformer in the city to do. Much like on Earth, every 'fun' thing was human-sized! And he really couldn't go flying off to another city, or another continent or anything... so for the moment, Air Raid was entertaining himself by flying out over an open patch of ocean, and seeing how many loop-de-loops he could pull off in a row before he got dizzy, and/or his engines stalled out. Either way ended up with him crashing down into the ocean, transforming at the last minute for a spectacular bellyflop - it created a huge splash, but didn't really cause TOO much serious damage, and he'd trudge along the bottom of the sea floor back to dry land and sit in the sun for a bit until everything dried out, and try again. Currently he was up to 16 loop-de-loops in a row, and was pulling up into number 17.

B? :>

[dimeliora]

Well, on one of her morning flights around the city - typical of Irene's regiment to get herself moving - this was... certainly new.

Irene paused, midair, almost somewhat contented to watch the show for the time being. It'd been a while since she'd seen Cybertronians about the city, even longer since she'd found another who could at least appreciate a good flight.

She perched on the beach, herself, waiting for the Cybertronian to emerge from the ocean.

"I'll give it a seven out of ten," she said idly.

Albus Dumbledore | Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

[phoenixknight]

(A)

In comparison to most people in a similar position, Albus looks downright fascinated by his new surroundings. He has drawn his wand for safety's sake, but the tip is pointed towards the ground. While he hasn't a clue where he has landed - Apparation can be so tricky (though usually not to this degree!) - he senses his life has taken a turn for the strange.

Maybe he welcomes it.

"Say, could you give me a moment of your time?" he is absolutely polite and calm - at least outwardly, "I don't think I meant to come here exactly."

(B)

Magic can be so lovely. Albus is sitting in a garden, a flock of charmed bluebirds flapping about him merrily. He raises a hand to offer a perch and one of them lands on his finger, fluffing its breast feathers.

No, Albus Dumbledore is not a Disney princess, but he does have a strong affinity and fondness for birds! It runs in his blood, you see.

"Enjoy yourself while you can, my friend." for the spell will only last so long. What a shame.

I'll give you some more serious pings too, but this I could not resist...

[thena_starling]

A.

The Ravenclaw second year was looking around, herself, wandering lost. Was this where her brother had gone? Had the cursed vaults sent her here? More importantly... "Is all of this actually still inside Hogwarts?" she wondered out loud to herself. But then she realized he had heard a voice off to the side. It hadn't sounded like her brother but...

She turned and headed towards the voice, drawing her wand as she did. She caught the last thing that he said, though. "Neither did I. Were you looking for the Cursed Vaults too?"

But how could an adult like him get into the school if they weren't a teacher? And he wasn't... was he? Odd, he looked... a little familiar... maybe? Maybe he was a substitute for Professor Kettleburn?

Leanne | Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

[song_princess]

A

The marketplace was busy as usual but there is a somewhat new face in it. Leanne was grabbing any fruit or nuts to eat before flying up quickly to eat it at a safe place. From the safety of her perch, she goes to watch people as they shop.

B

Serenes.... What was Serenes doing here? The Heron was confused at the sight of her home being in this strange world. She was exploring it, hearing it's greetings and happiness at her return. Eventually, once she enters the middle of the glade, she goes to start singing, letting Serenes echo her songs throughout it.

A

[tanks4thememory]

As a rule, Clu generally didn't eat a whole lot of User food on a regular basis. But the market also had things like tea and hot chocolate mix that Clu did like. Thus, Clu was browsing the tea selection in his circuit-laced clothing while Bit hovered in its customary place near his left shoulder. And while its program was busy doing things that Bit frankly thought was kind of boring, it was looking around for more interesting things.

Thus, it happened to see Leanne fly down and snag some fruit from a nearby stall. Oh hey! It knows you! You're that nice lady that sang to it when it first arrived and then hung out with its program some afterwards! "Yes!", it chirped, zipping after Leanne as she returned to her perch with her food. It ended up hovering in the air a few feet in front of Leanne. "Yes!", it said again, both times shifting from a faceted spheroid to a gold octahedron. There you are, singing wing lady! You sure were gone a long time!

And Bit zipping off in turn drew Clu's attention, and he followed Bit with his gaze as it flew upward, grinning when he saw what- or rather who- had caused his little friend to fly off. "Leanne!", he said. "You're back!"

Jenny | Doctor Who

[jennymarktwo]

There was something about an adventure. Jenny wasn't sure whether it was in her DNA (probably) or something that had been added, like the programming on the history of the planet she'd been born on (wrong, so wrong) and knowledge of things like how to speak and how to shoot a gun (maybe). Or maybe it was just her. But whatever it was, waking up and finding herself in a different location probably filled the average person with terror or confusion. Instead, all Jenny felt was a tight knot of anticipation in her stomach.

Maybe some people thought that there was supposed to be some purpose to a journey. Some beginning, middle, and end that had to be accomplished before being able to rest. Maybe, she thought after reading a little about this place she'd found herself, some might even think she'd reached the start of the next phase of her journey.

Ascension. It seemed the be all and end all for this place. The goal that everyone was supposed to want.

But Jenny had never been a particularly goal-oriented person unless you included the short-term goal of getting out of one trouble in order to get into the next. So she would wait and see and if Ascension or this place sounded like the end of the journey, she'd simply find a way out of it.

But first, she had to find one of those Welcome House places. What kind of direction was 'down the street from the Medbay' when you didn't know where the Medbay was? Maybe the device she'd found had some kind of map. She took it out, dropped her head to browse through the thing (she'd hack it if she had to), and started walking. She'd get nowhere by standing there and looking stupid.

Re: Jenny | Doctor Who

[borntolove]

Ten! phoenix spots Jenny from a mile away and of course he wants to run to her - expect - he doesn't know if Jenny remembers having been here before and needs to stop on a building for a moment to accept that. Furthermore - she may be from a different point on her timeline before she got shot.

The Doctor winches for a moment.

Or if he's really lucky - this is Jenny from before. Not that it makes much difference - however the when Jenny is will.

After a moment jumps off the building and materializing pink bubbles and bouncing off of those and then - running to her.

Takato Matsuda | Digimon Tamers

[dreamtamer]

On finding himself waking to a place that he didn't recognize, Takato only had one question. Could he have made it to the Digital World again? Could he meet Guilmon again?

He immediately pulls his D-Arc out of his pocket and starts frantically pressing the buttons on the device, hoping that it could tell him something.

"Come on," he mutters under his breath. "Where is the tracker? It has to be on one of these screens."

[wisdominshadows]

It isn't unprecedented in Nautilus to see people standing about, noses pressed into some device or another, but it isn't quite the norm either. So after a few moments of studying the newcomer, Zelda decides that an intervention might be in order.

"Excuse me?" she calls out when she's close enough for him to notice. "Are you all right?"

Katara / Avatar: The Last Airbender / Mid-late season 3

[waterwhip]

Action:
Two things are true. The first is that there is water everywhere. It sluices down along the sides of the streets in little burbling eddies, which would be incredibly convenient for someone with Katara’s abilities.

The second true thing, however, is that Katara is frustrated. “Just bend your powers back into reality, they said,” she huffs to no one in particular, affecting a mocking tone. It’s bad enough to find herself alone in a strange place without her friends there with her, but it’s even worse that she’s here now without the benefit of the power that she’d sweated and bled to hone. Where is Sokka? Where are Aang, Toph, and Zuko? Were they lost, too? Or were they together, wondering where she’d gone? Surely they would be worried.

Turning to look down at the little roadside stream, she gestures sharply, lifting her hand and pulling her fingers together. The water splashes, but she can’t be sure if that’s her doing or just a little surge in the flow coming from upstream.

Three things are true, it seems, and the third is that she’s going to have to bend her bending, as ridiculous as that sounds in her mind. “Guess I might as well get started.”


Network:
So, maybe this is a silly question, but are there any other benders here? Not the... the kind of bending they do here, but... Elemental benders, I mean: earth, fire, wind, or water. I guess maybe a better question is if anyone from the Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, or Water Tribes is here? Maybe even an Air Nomad?

[younghero]

Hi!

Sorry, I'm not from any of those places. I'm from a Kingdom called Hyrule. But, uh, people show up from all over all the time!

Roxas | Kingdom Hearts 2

[spinswing]

network - text

aren't you tired of being nice?
don't you just want to go apeshit sometimes?

network - video

[The feed cuts on and Roxas spends a few seconds messing with the camera before opting to put it on top of his shelf so it shows most of his body from a downward angle. He reaches off camera and then pulls into view a gallon jug of chocolate milk. Yes, a gallon.

He's a teen on a mission here.

He then unscrews the cap, silently looking directly into the camera, lifting it up to his mouth and starts chugging it. It takes him about a minute to finish it, mainly because he needs to take a few breaths in between. He still needs to breathe occasionally here.

After he's finished with it, he slams the jug down on his desk for emphasis.]

Meet me at the swamp at 3 AM if you want to fight.

[video]

[heroscrest]

[Honestly Sora's not even remotely fazed by the kid chugging a whole gallon of milk on the Network. He'd do the same. It's standard teen business, of course.]

Alright! What sort of fight? Because I think I could do pretty good in a sword fight, but if it's wrestling than I dunno... [He trails off, scratching his cheek thoughtfully before his eyes widen with realization.]

Wait, three AM?! I can't stay up that late! ...Or wake up that early! [DONALD WOULD KILL HIM IF HE KNEW]
