The Doctor stares out at the foggy plaza laid out before him, eyeing the vague shapes of buildings rising up in the distance. He glances briefly back at the building behind him, with its massive doorway (it makes him uneasy; what would need such a large entryway?) before he starts walking in a random direction. Better to discover where he is himself, instead of staying where he'd been put.

He might find where they put the TARDIS, too. Whoever 'they' are.

"Hopefully this is the right direction..." Then again, if he doesn't know where he is, wandering off can't get him any more lost, right?

[bombsasgreetingscards]

"The 'right' direction," he nearly laughed as he stepped out from behind the very same portal, "Since when does direction concern you?"

The Master took in the sight of the man before him, amusing though it was he was still careful not to come too near.

"Though it does explain how I happened to arrive here... Whatever did you do Doctor? Did one of your charming little devices backfire on you?"

[borntolove]

Ten, meanwhile, is sitting on a low lying building roof and hands crisscrossing - points in two directions.

"I've often when lost - going in all directions helps."

There's something whimsical about those brown eyes. Meanwhile, he's surpised self you showed up in the blue outfit and not the rainbow.

[proud_corazon]

Miguel is drawn toward the voice. It's not like he's lost exactly. He has Dante with him after all, but it's been getting kinda lonely in the fog, so it's nice to hear someone else. He follows the voice...and sees a guy he doesn't really know. He must be new or new ish.

"Um... hola! Are you lost?"

[bigbadrose]

"That depends on where you want to go," Rose answered quizzically.

Then wrinkled her nose at the coat. She recognized it of course, who could forget? "Back to the circus? I'm sure the clowns are lost without you." She couldn't resist.

"Rose Tyler," she offered a handshake. "Welcome to Nautilus. No clowns here. Yet. You can be the first." BEING MEAN.

[agathaheterodyne]

"Right direction for what?" A friendly voice asked from behind. The woman in the long green dress and oil stained white pinafore was holding a large metal wrench od an odd design over one shoulder. Some odd sort of weapon looking thing was attached to her hip with a hose to something glowing on her other hip. The oddest pair of creatures - one an orange weasel with six legs, bolts in its neck and sharp teeth, the other looking like an animated pocket watch with limbs and an eye for a face - were riding in her pockets looking out at the newcomer.

Momiji | Fruits Basket 2019

[forgottenbun]

There's a young boy with blonde hair running around Nautilus.

(No, not that one.)

This boy is practically vibrating with excitement as he goes into stores, trying on hats, and sampling different types of candy. As he spins around he nearly runs into a passerby, but, manages to hop aside at the last second, narrowly avoiding a collision.

"Oh! Guten tag!" He's all smiles, giving a small wave to his newest friend.

[enchantressofore]

"Guten... What?"

Why Nautilus had decided it would be amusing to not translate that was anyone's guess, but the small red head seemed surprised at the blond boy immediately in front of her in the East District. She blinked a few times at him, staring before slowly trying to speak again.

"Uhm... Hello?"

Was that what that meant? Nehra she didn't know...

Re: Momiji | Fruits Basket 2019

[kaylinneya]

Kaylin blinked several times at the child. Mostly at his use of words that sounded... familiar. But that she didn't quite... and then her brain got past KID and caught up. German! Right! the school storm where she learned all those neat new curse words.

Kaylin was always a bit of an odd sight for those who first saw her. Despite being an adult, she was short foot nothing. Her messy rough cut hair was twisted into a fast and sloppy bun that was somewhat held in place by a gnawed on stick. She wore a white linen shirt with buttons at the wrists to keep the sleeves closed, a leather jerkin, and a chainmail shirt under a blue and grey tabard that showed two soaring hawks - one picked out in gold thread, one in brown and gold beads that clearly had been added on after the garment was made. Her pants were the same kind of leather as the jerkin, though roughly mended to fix a gash under one knee and another along the other thigh. All of her clothes looked like it could use a good wash. And somehow even the chainmail looked wrinkled.

Her boots were thick soled and sturdy, and there was some dried blood under the laces. The belt that held the Tabard in place also held a dagger over either hip, two pokeballs, a small pouch, a water skin, a night stick, and some small lengths of thin rope. The belt itself had several artificial notches cut into it, though at the moment it was closed in one of the natural ones. She wore on one wrist what looked like a very expensive bracer of antique gold inset with three gems. And on her face was what looked like a delicate tattoo of deadly nightshade - a flower in bloom - across one cheek. Sitting on the shoulder furthest from that mark was a tiny flygon, that was in the process of chewing on her ear.

Because she was looking at a kid, there was a softness to her expression that adults rarely got to see. "Enjoying your day out?" she asked with a warm smile.

Time to really confuse the kid.

[death_from_above]

The orange cat in the tree wasn't Kyo. But he was watching Momiji carefully. Normally he'd death from above, but this kid looked like he might break of Spark landed on him. So instead the cat stretched and dropped into the path before him just outside the candy store.

"Don't suppose you got any fish in there?" he asked, leaving the opening for the kid to make a swedish fish joke.

That... very much was NOT Kyo. But it was a talking orange cat.

Re: Momiji | Fruits Basket 2019

[agathaheterodyne]

Agatha jumped out of the way as well. Thankfully she wasn't carrying anything this time.

"Oh, sorry," she said, thinking. "English, French, Latin...?" She was pretty sure from the limited sample that he was speaking German, but... she could be wrong. Germanic for certain though. Oh why hadn't she paid more attention in world linguistics rather than sketching out plans for inventions that back then never would have worked?

A small creature was perched on her shoulder, an orange weasel of some sort with six legs, bolts in its neck and extraordinarily sharp teeth. It skittered down her side to get closer to Momiji to sniff him.

Raphtalia | The Rising of the Shield Hero

[slavecrest]

{ooc: SUUUUUPER tentative but! }

Wake. She thought it was Naofumi calling out to her to wake her up for another day of training, but when she rubbed her eyes as she woke, she froze, realizing it was -not- a familiar place. Not in the least. The unfamiliarity sent chills through her, as her first thought was confusion: Where was she?

Her second was of panic. She didn't see her Master. He would be angry, wouldn't he, that she wasn't at his side? Oh no.. oh /no/. Even if he was a much nicer master than her first, he could still be very very angry. So anyone in the neighborhood (or in earshot) would see a small half-raccoon girl of about ten, with a slave collar and iron shackles on her wrists and ankles, quickly making her way through the foggy plaza, looking increasingly worried and anxious as she picked a random direction and proceeded to walk. "..Master..? Master Naofumi...?" See, she's a good girl, she's actively looking for him, she's not running away..!

Re: Raphtalia | The Rising of the Shield Hero

[younghero]

Link turned when he heard a girl's voice, and nearly stopped dead in his tracks. What had happened to this poor girl?!

"H-hey, do you need help?" He asked gently. While he was technically thirteen now, Link was small for his age, and even with the sword and shield on his back, could easily have been mistaken for someone much younger.

Oh no this is breaking my heart already...

[enchantressofore]

Was that a child?

A short red-headed woman stopped, seeing the girl (... With rounded ears and a fluffy tail? All right then) looking lost and alone. She frowned, worried, before approaching. The garb on the girl might look somewhat familiar, almost peasant's garb, but she also carried a sword, shortbow, and quiver on her person. It didn't take long for her to get close enough and stop some distance away, crouching down a little so that she could meet the girl's eye.

"Is everything all right? You seem lost, miss."

She couldn't have been very old -- Maybe around Link's age, but at the same time this girl seemed so small and scared....

I should not be doing more threads but ffff!!! Sweet baby!

[song_princess]

She can hear the scared voice of the girl and something was pulling at instincts. Leanne looked around and saw the sight of Raphtalia in the slave gear and her heart just shattered. The bird mom goes to land softly near Raphtalia and goes to softly coo at the young nestling.

"Are you lost little one? Do you need help?" She coos and holds her wings in a submissive position to make herself look approachable

Totally canon-blind here, but had to reply with Mama Leia because awwww, baby! ;3;

[motherofresistance]

Leia had been on her way to the med bay when she spotted the little girl. Though a good bit lower tech than the restraints generally used in her galaxy, the collar and shackles as well as the girl's obvious anxiety and the fact that she was looking for her 'Master' added up to only one thing in her mind; the girl was a slave.

She squelched the surge of anger and outrage such a thought produced, pushing those feelings to the back of her mind. They would likely only frighten the girl, especially if she thought they were directed at her. She could be angry later. Instead she allowed compassion and concern to take the fore as she approached the girl.

"Are you alright there, little one?", she asked.

Re: Raphtalia | The Rising of the Shield Hero

[kaylinneya]

Kid. In trouble. She saw that at the same time she took in the rest. She was trained to see everything, so it wasn't that she missed the shackles or collar, and she didn't miss the non-human aspects. And she very much did not miss that she was calling whoever the ****s she was looking for master.

But she was still Kaylin, and she was moving even before thought caught up.

Kaylin was always a bit of an odd sight for those who first saw her. Despite being an adult, she was short foot nothing. Her messy rough cut hair was twisted into a fast and sloppy bun that was somewhat held in place by a gnawed on stick. She wore a white linen shirt with buttons at the wrists to keep the sleeves closed, a leather jerkin, and a chainmail shirt under a blue and grey tabard that showed two soaring hawks - one picked out in gold thread, one in brown and gold beads that clearly had been added on after the garment was made. Her pants were the same kind of leather as the jerkin, though roughly mended to fix a gash under one knee and another along the other thigh. All of her clothes looked like it could use a good wash. And somehow even the chainmail looked wrinkled.

Her boots were thick soled and sturdy, and there was some dried blood under the laces. The belt that held the Tabard in place also held a dagger over either hip, two pokeballs, a small pouch, a water skin, a night stick, and some small lengths of thin rope. The belt itself had several artificial notches cut into it, though at the moment it was closed in one of the natural ones. She wore on one wrist what looked like a very expensive bracer of antique gold inset with three gems. And on her face was what looked like a delicate tattoo of deadly nightshade - a flower in bloom - across one cheek. Sitting on the shoulder furthest from that mark was a tiny flygon, that was in the process of chewing on her ear.

The woman slowed so as to not scare the child as she approached. "Here," she said gently. "I can help."

Aqua | Kingdom Hearts 3 (spoilers?)

[betheirwayfinder]

[.one.]

Why was she waking up? Hadn't she just woken to the sound of the ocean and the feelings of sand under her fingers? And now, here she was again, waking from a dream she couldn't clearly remember. Except this time, she isn't on the beach, there aren't familiar, friendly, faces around her.

So she did all she could do. She got up and started to explore, steel boots tapping on the ground as the bluenette tries to get an idea of her new surroundings.

[.two. network.]

Hello. I'm Master Aqua- well, I suppose it's just Aqua now.

[If she seems tired, it's because she is. This is all a lot of take in after ten years of sitting on the Dark Margin. Or had it been more?]

I'm a Keyblade Master but I can't use my magic or Keyblade anymore. I'm still combat trained though, my Master trained me since I was very young. If anyone needs help like that, I'd be glad to offer my skills.

Otherwise, I don't suppose anyone here knows about Keyblades?

SQUEEEEEEEE

[guru_clef]

[Clef almost never checked the Network, but this time he was glad that he had.] "Keyblade? Do you know of Sora?"

One

[kaylinneya]

Kaylin was patrolling, an odd looking dragon pokemon on her shoulder. She saw the woman and frowned a bit. She would have remembered hair like that, especially with those weird clothes. Which meant... "Let me guess, you're new and you're lost."

Bill Potts | Doctor Who | Spoilers for season 10 | Very tentative, new voice.

[tears_of_hope]

First Waking

"Yeah yeah, hold on, I hear you. Wake. Got it. Thought I was supposed to be the one showing you around this ti...." the words died in her throat. Bad choice of words, that. Worse was that she couldn't see Heather. Anywhere. "Wait, where'd you get off to?" She asked, frowning. "Where is this anyway? Not any world I've been to yet." She picked a direction and started walking. "Heather?"

Well, she could walk and she'd find Heather, or be found by her. Either way, Bill was glancing at every body of water, even a puddle as she went. Might as well explore while she looked. S'what they Doctor would do if he was alive, right? If he were here. She meant. Course he was alive. She refused to believe otherwise. Where there were tears, there was hope, right? That was why she didn't stop the tear that rolled down her face as she walked. Well, that and it would make it easier for Heather to find her, wouldn't it?


B. For those in or around the Tardis

Exploring hadn't turned up Heather. It had turned up many bodies of water, all sorts of beings, those nifty teleportation pads that really should have come with instructions, and then.....

A familiar blue box.

Alright, so it looked a little different, maybe. But who knew, different could be good, right? So long as different didn't mean Missy answered the door, Bil could accept different, could embrace different. If it meant the Doctor was alright, she could accept a lot of things.

She found her legs racing up the stairs till she got to the box, tears spilling down her face. NEver much appreciated crying before. Downright loved it now, headaches and all. She pressed a hand against the door, then leaned in close, trying to listen. Not that it ever helped. Not that she'd admit to ever having tried that before. But... it felt... the same but different. She wasn't sure different how. But... she'd find out. Not what mattered. What mattered was that the Doctor was okay.

She pounded on the door. "Doctor! Doctor let me in! I knew you couldn't be dead, not really. Not you! Let me in Doctor! We're not dead! I've got the most amazing thing to tell you too! And have you seen this world yet? Doctor?" He had to be there. Let him be there! She pounded again. "Doctor? Nardole?" Did the Doctor get Nardole? Must have done. "Will one of you let me in already?"

Hello :) also choice B

[borntolove]

Somehow or another, Bill got herself to the East District more specifically, to the Jedi Temple. Most likely by complete mistake found the teleportation pad on the Beach that led to the Tardis that stood on the doorstep of the Jedi Temple.

Meanwhile, Ten wasn't in the Box but rather had just come from a Jedi lesson and heard the pounding on the door of the Tardis and creeping closer - listening to what was being said.

And felt his hearts and lungs pause for a moment. Feeling the dread sink in. He could just run away; she might not know this face.

But there isn't anywhere to run too - he is standing behind her. Watching her from behind pound and talk through the Tardis door.

Hands in his pockets and his brown coat flaring in the wind with the ocean behind him. She may feel as if she's being judge with the look on someone's face behind her.

Re: Hiro Hamada | Big Hero 6

[thehirohewanted]

Hiro is familiar enough with portals. Less creepy voices in his head, but honestly, with the last few months he's lived, he's willing to roll with it. Try and figure out what it all means.

At the very least he's not being immediately assaulted after his kidnapping.

If it was a kidnapping. Really, the strange portal thing might mean this is just some weird accident. Though he'd THINK there's be scientists or SOMEONE around when activating strange portals.

And it is very strange.

"There has to be a power source somewhere," he says to himself, looking all around the area. Sometimes even climbing up the sides to try and find some kind of access panel. What are safety concerns when you're trying to figure out how a thing works?

OMG! :D

[tadashiishere]

Safety concerns should always be concerns, at least in the opinion of a certain healthcare companion who, as luck would have it, happened to be passing near the gate. And when Baymax detected the familiar life signs, he approached closer, emerging from behind some rocks to see his friend Hiro doing something that he probably shouldn't be doing.

"Please exercise caution," Baymax said in his familiar soothing monotone. "A fall from the height of the gate could lead to bodily harm."

Katenka || Original Character || OTA

[trinkat]

1. Arrival

While she's seen rivers and the like out the window of her wagon, Katenka has never been allowed to venture out towards them. She cannot swim, after all, and the twelve year old is not particularly athletic looking. Still, she can't help being drawn to the beach in this strange place she's arrived in, breathing in deeply the smell of the salty air, the thick humidity of summer. Carefully, the light haired girl walks towards the ocean's edge, mesmerized by the sight.

So lost in her thoughts, she almost doesn't notice the other person on the beach. When she catches sight of them, she straightens up as if caught doing something wrong, expression carefully neutral. Smoothing out her dress, she speaks politely, with a New England accent.

"Pardon me, I didn't see you. Would you happen to know where we are?"

2. Search

When it hits her what she's lost, Katenka drops all decorum and begins running around, lifting up her skirts to keep from tripping on them. She had it when she arrived, she's sure of that. Did she drop it? Did she put it down? It scarcely matters; such powerful magic needs to be kept away from unknowing people who might misuse it, accidentally or otherwise. Panic starts to rise up in her as she bolts through the city streets, retracing her steps at a brisk pace, a blur of white clothes and white hair and wide eyes.

The second she finds someone, she forgets entirely her own lack of speaking skills and anxiety and grabs ahold of them by the arm, face a portrait of fear. "Please - have you seen a box? A black wood box, with golden snakes painted onto it in spiraling patterns? It's very important!"

3. Network

H... hello? [When not on the spot or motivated by danger, she finds speaking is difficult, but the little radio she's found intrigues her, and she fiddles with it. This place is vast, bigger than anywhere she's ever been before in her life. Now that Katenka has found her hard-fought for freedom, she finds it more confusing than elating.] My name is Katenka, or Trinket, if you prefer. I, ah, I don't know where I am. I need a place to stay. I know that's a lot to ask, but please, I need to stay out of sight. There's... there's someone I need to stay away from who might have followed me here, wherever here is. Please, can someone tell me where I could go to stay safe?

[Unaware she's on video, she doesn't know to hide the fear or tiredness in her face and eyes. She's obviously younger, maybe twelve years of age, with a tension to her demeanor that suggests this is just as serious as it sounds. For a moment her eyes glisten as if with tears, but she takes a deep breath, collects herself and hits the off button on the video.

Time to get moving. If no one else will save her, she will save herself. She always does.]

Network

[tadashiishere]

[Katenka will find her message responded to in video form by a pudgy, white, and strangely adorable robot. He gives her a little wave in greeting.]

Hello, Katenka. I am Baymax, a personal healthcare companion.

There is a Welcome House in each district where those who are newly arrived in Nautilus may stay free of charge. If you can tell me your current location, I can direct you to the nearest one. I will also send a map of the city to your communication device.

Or alternately, you can come to the medical bay located in the Northern District. Unlike the Welcome Houses, we cannot provide permanent accommodations, but it is a safe place to stay on a temporary basis.

Sasuke Uchiha | The Sasuke Uchiha Show -- I mean Naruto

[beforethedarkness]

[[OoC: Will probably be re-posting this in the July-August test drive when it goes up, we'll see how well I re-connect with Sasbrat here. ]]

A. Action - Bending Training, East District

Katon: Goukyakuu no Jutsu!

It all began when he learned what Bending was. While it seemed strange to be able to create literally anything from it, Sasuke was able to get a grasp on it quite easily. After all, it basically mimicked chakra -- it was inner energy and will, which meant he could train it as he had in the past.

Unfortunately, with the requisite hand seals and his energy build, the fireball produced was... Less than impressive. It was barely the size of a baseball.

He gave a frustrated growl, taking a breath before trying again. It was almost like when he was a kid, trying to learn that technique for the first time again. His chakra reserves were low like when he was a kid too, which was all the more frustrating -- he didn't know if he could train up quickly, especially with the ever-present thought of a certain someone arriving there in Nautilus as well.

So, he practiced. Exhaustively, he formed the hand seals required for the technique. Snake, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger. Gather energy, breathe out. Still the size of a baseball. He'd try again. Again, and again, until he could say he regained his old strength and beyond. At least here, he didn't have to worry about the curse seal taking over his chakra.

But, the boy possibly failed to see just how exhausted he was getting for his efforts. Maybe it's something someone should point out to him?

B. Network - Audio

I need to know. What are the chances that certain people would appear here?

[ A pause, and he adds onto it. ]

And... If there's a limit on who can appear.

A

[ace_of_hearts]

Ace watches for a long time from his perch on a rooftop.

Finally, he gets impatient, jumps down, and with a single hand lifts an entire flaming sun above his head. Some day, someone will teach him not to use a cannon to hunt rabbits. But since he usually goes after whales with nothing but his bare teeth, that'd be why they haven't gotten that message through to him yet.

"Don't let it fizzle out so quickly. Build until it's almost out of your control. If you try to keep it contained, you'll always be more scared of it. The fire can't scare you, you have to be part of it. Chaos and all."

(Audio)

[operaghosted]

[Soft velvet tones with an under current of anger, grace audio channel tonight.]

I must confess, I find your city's so-called "Paris" district to be an atrocity. A Paris without her Palais Garnier, is an insult to all of France, let alone Paris.

That garish tower needs to go, now.

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[papaillon]

"I assure you, the so-called hero, Ladybug and her tagalong sidekick try with disgusting regularity, heedless of those who might be hurt in its destruction. But on the other hand, it does seem as though this place has a liking for Parisians. With Bending, I am certain that the Palais Garnier can be rebuilt for you, my new friend."
