Beetlejuice | Beetlejuice the Musical

B.)

"This is the straight up the weirdest thing I have ever seen. And that is saying something."

The demon was fairly irritated by all of the feathery idiots in his airspace, and so, he was complaining to the nearest individual. "If we were to just set all of them on fire, I think we'd end the problem fairly quickly."

[unfavorableinstigation]

Nita's side-eye was hard to express in words.

"It won't end the storm, and more importantly, Nautilus does not take well to murder."

She would have said, "It'd be both gross AND petty," buuut she could sense those things didn't matter to this guy.

"That, and they'd be back inside a week, and real mad at you."

[creepyoldguy]

"Pretty sure they didn't like me to begin with," he pointed out. "And he should have thought of that before he summoned a demon."

Beetlejuice would cheerfully admit to being both gross and petty if asked.

[unfavorableinstigation]

"He's actually done that before," Nita pointed out.

And that just proved her point.

"Though that was a long time ago."

[creepyoldguy]

"He's a slow learner, then," he grumbled.

"And what kind of bargain-bin-discount demons were they, anyway?" Beetlejuice huffed dismissively.

[unfavorableinstigation]

"I don't know if 'slow' is the right word..."

Nita snorted.

"His name was Beelzebub."

Presumably the name would be familiar to him, but Nita had no clue. Different worlds...

[creepyoldguy]

"Wait. The guy from the Queen song?"

This place was so weird.

[unfavorableinstigation]

"I mean, technically?"

How had they changed conversation topic this fast? Nita had whiplash...

"He seemed familiar with a pair of brothers with the last name Winchester; don't suppose you know of them either?"

At least none of the cupids had taken notice of these two just standing around talking.

Zelda | The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

[wisdominshadows]

Chinese New Year Storm

Zelda opened the letter cautiously, prepared (she hoped) for anything... though to be honest, she wasn't expecting rupees. She held them in her hands, frowning slightly.

"Forgive me, I don't mean to offend- but is there a reason for these? I didn't think the shops about here took currency."

Cupid War Storm

"Oh, not again!"

Zelda had no idea where that came from, but for the moment she didn't care; the arrows shooting about her were a far more pressing concern. For the moment she dodged, tucking herself under a nearby bench.

No time to relax now- if she was going to get out of here, she had to think quickly.

Ax Esgarrouth Isthill | Animorphs

[ax_esgarrouth_isthill]

(Don't know if the mods will allow him to come in able to communicate or not, so state which you choose in the subject line please. See... he doesn't exactly have a mouth.)

He didn't look like anyone in the city. At all. He looked like someone started with a blue and tan deer and then let their imaginations run wild. His back sloped down to a tail that was pure muscle right up until the sharp blade at the tip. He held that tail so that the blade was over his head, ready to move in any direction at any moment. Where a deer would have a neck rose what could have almost been the upper body of a centaur, still in blue and tan. His chest made it clear he was a youth, but not a child. Closer to being a teenager than anything else, if human standards could even be applied. His arms were smaller and weaker than a humans. Each hand had seven fingers. His neck was normal enough but the head that sat upon it was anything but. It was more oval than a human face, for one. Also, he had no mouth, at all. Where his nose might have been were just three thing vertical slits. Above that rested a pair of eyes, watching and alert. Above that rested, on thin flexible stalks, another pair of eyes. Those, at the moment, were looking around every direction possibly.

See, this was one very freaked out alien. He couldn't find his prince. Couldn't find his Shorm. He was on an alien world where the grass tasted different, unsure if the Yeerks were here or not. Unsure how he got there. Utterly alone. More alone than he'd been in a long time. And his attempt to find a native creature to acquire had... not gone well. Not knowing if that giant spider had been sentient was a regret. given that it was now dead. Of course given how it attacked him, it could have been a controller. Which meant that looking like himself was a bad idea. But his attempts to morph into a bird had also failed.

So mostly the alien was trying to hide in the trees and look inconspicuous. But where blue and brown might have naturally hidden him on his world, or maybe not... blue didn't hide so well here....

It's been a long time since Tobias has seen an Andalite. So long, that he actually has to come in pretty close to recognize his uncle, fluttering in for a landing on a nearby branch. <Aren't you supposed to be off hunting a blade ship?> he whispers, preening the feathers on one wing.

He hasn't even bothered trying to morph since arrival, so he has no idea that he's stuck, again. Not that he particularly minds, just yet.

Attempting the proper thought-speak brackets, wish me luck!

[ax_esgarrouth_isthill]

Ax's eyes swiveled rapidly until he found Tobais. He took what felt like the first breath in all the hours he'd been here.

He gave a relieved smile with his eyes and lowered his tail slightly. Then Tobais' words caught up with him. <That was not the mission. Do you know where this place is or how we have come to be here? > He asked. He suspected the Ellimist, of course, but would much prefer proof before he said any such thing...

You did it! :D

[bluetailedhawk]

Tobias stops preening to look down at Ax, carefully considering the question. <Well... there's only a couple beings we know of that can pull this off, but it doesn't seem like their style at all. What is the last mission you remember?> because historically, when they've time traveled they all went together, from the same time and place.

If they were from different times, then this was almost certainly someone new. And new always meant danger. He fluffs his wings out, ready to take flight at a moment's notice.

Thanks to you!

[ax_esgarrouth_isthill]

<We had just attempted to communicate with the homeworld with the device that I built with some help from Marco's father.>

His tail moved back into place, having the same sense of wrongness that Tobais seemed to have. <Where are the others?> That he couldn't contact his prince was disturbing, though having Tobais there he was a little less alone, and felt more confidant. <I suspect they may become trapped if they are here and still in morph, however as they have not answered my thought-speak they might be in their human bodies for the moment.> That was the thin hope he clung to.

[bluetailedhawk]

That was... years ago. Tobias shifts anxiously along the branch, and when Ax suggests the others might be trapped in morph, he flutters down to the ground, landing a few feet away. For a few seconds, nothing happens.

Then, Tobias flutters his wings again. <I can't morph,> it's a terrifying prospect, but little of his fear makes it into his voice. <And I've got more bad news -- we're from different points in time. I'm from several years in your future.> He wasn't sure how many, exactly, because hawks are notoriously bad time-keepers.

[ax_esgarrouth_isthill]

<I could not morph either.> That was something he had not quite wanted to admit. Especially not to Tobais. For many reasons. But Tobais was also the one being he trusted most other than himself and his prince. < What is gained for anyone by taking us from different points in time?> he wondered, and then a though occurred to him. He kept his stalk eyes scanning and focused his main eyes down on Tobais. <If you are from a time ahead of me, you more than anyone else would know one thing. Did I go missing during that period for any span of time. I have been here for approximately six and a half of your hours. The others might not have noticed if I was gone for that long, but you would have.> Because of their bond. And because his scoop was so near to Tobais' meadow as the hawk flies.

[bluetailedhawk]

Tobias shuffles his wings against his back and considers the question carefully, head tilting a bit as he watches a mouse dart under a bush. <Not that I can recall, but sometimes time travel messes with memories.> And sometimes you come back to the moment when you'd left. <Either way, we'd better figure out why were here, and what brought us.> He was just glad it wasn't another Sario Rip. He could die happy if he never went through another one of those.

Well, okay. He could die less unhappy.

C.

[dandelion_trainer]

Ava heard the call to Wake. "Master....?" she asked, answering it, of course. She came to.... in an odd field. This wasn't Daybreak Town or any of the dreaming worlds she knew of. "Where... am I?" Moire importantly, she had been called. She got to her feet and brushed herself off as she looked for who could have called her. "Master? Is that you?" Or.. could it have been... "Ira?"

[djbubbles]

Nino was out as usual. The others were still discussing with that Ursaems guy about what to do about Isis' influence and how to restore the Waking Cycle, so he was mainly waiting on that.

He wasn't expecting anyone new since new people had stopped coming many months ago. So at the moment, he's distracted by listening to the music in his headphones. Not noticing her in the slightest.

Perhaps she should either get his attention somehow or at least try not to bump into him.

[dandelion_trainer]

"Oh!" she said, seeing someone she didn't know. She started to speak but then realized... she had no sense of him at all. Her sense wasn't perfect, of course. None of theirs were or they could have found the heart that bore the dark Chirithy, but usually she had some idea if someone at least had potential to be a Keyblade wielder. But she... had no idea.

She stepped to where he could see her for sure and waved a hand. "Um, excuse me, hello?"

[djbubbles]

Nino stops at the handwave and blinks. He lowers the headphones and looks up, realizing he doesn't recognize them. Well that's a good sign considering that there was barely anyone left at this point.

"You new here?"

[dandelion_trainer]

"I... suppose that I must be. I am not sure where here is, though. I am Master Ava. I thought I heard my Master calling me to Wake, and then I was here... Is this where he has gone to?"

[djbubbles]

Yep thought so, though he was already sure she was new.

"This place is called Nautilus. It's basically a world that connects to other worlds. We've been brought here to save other worlds, though it seems things are coming to a head, and you're the first new person in months to end up here."

At this point, he's given the basics to newbies so many times, it's standard. He's been in the city for years at this point, though he has yet to reach 18 sadly won't happen as things will end before his birthday.

[dandelion_trainer]

"The world that connects..." And they were here to save other worlds. "The Darkness is coming then?" she asked softly. "Or... or is... are these worlds... the worlds after?"

[djbubbles]

"Not exactly. There was an evil lady named Isis who tried to mess with things in order to make her 'perfect order'. She was eventually stopped, but the damage was done and many worlds would develop something called Flaws. It's when a part of the world gets corrupted and starts messing it up, and it requires Angelii and Ashura to go fix it.

Now it seems that her shards of glass are close to ending the creation of new worlds and achieve her 'perfect order'. The Deva and everyone else is still trying to figure out our next move."

It's not the best way to explain it but at least it gets the basic idea out.
