[Into the station comes the pirate madam, confused and frustrated as ever. She stops in her tracks when she spots the young lass.]

You.
Are you from here? Wherever...here is.

Re: Jack Frost ❄ Rise of the Guardians

[nicelandmaintenance]

[Felix just happens to pause by the train station - he does this, periodically, just to see if anyone he knows happens to be there. But this time, there's someone, a stranger, but someone.]

Hello, neighbor. I can't say Kansas, no sir. This place is Ruby City - and it looks like we're all in this for the long haul. [Still, Felix remains pleasant, and steps forward, hand outstretched in a pleasant greeting. He's used to looking up at people perched high on things like light poles...buildings...]

The name is Fix-It Felix, Jr. And who might you be?

[bringsthefrost]

[Jack isn't really used to being looked at at all, let alone greeted with that kind of friendly manner. Without much of a pause, he hops down from his perch, using the hook of his shepherd's staff to bounce off the light pole before letting the wind carry him down to come to a stand in front of Felix.

He raises an eyebrow for a moment before looking behind him to see if there's anyone else around and returns his attention to the builder, pointing to himself.]

You can see me?

[nicelandmaintenance]

[Felix looks a little perplexed, but puts his hands on his hips and continues to smile brightly.]

Sure can! Are you a ghost where you come from? [He still has to look up at Jack, but he holds out his hand.]

[bringsthefrost]

[He straightens himself and leans against his staff. Felix is a little shorter than the adults he's used to seeing so it's kind of dubious belief that he can see him. He gives a shrug, reaching out to take his hand.]

Guess you could say that. Kinda have to be dead to be a spirit. Name's Jack Frost.

[nicelandmaintenance]

[Felix shakes his hand; he's not familiar with the stories of Jack Frost - they don't exist in the programming of the arcade.]

Well, Jack, it's nice to meet you. I hate to say it, but it's too bad we couldn't meet under better circumstances! [Felix looks around a bit, pulling his coat around him a bit tigher.] We're all trapped here, you see. The whole kit and kaboodle.

[bringsthefrost]

[It's kinda funny how that would usually make it Felix wouldn't be able to see him, but he guessed that came with the 'whole kit and kaboodle'. He takes his hand back and shoves it into the pocket of his own hoodie, frowning as he looks around as well.]

Great. Well I hope the others can handle things without me. [Not that they weren't before they wanted him to join up. He notices Felix bundle his coat around him a bit tighter and pulls back a little.] Sorry. The cold comes with the territory.

[nicelandmaintenance]

Oh, no, you're not bugging me! [Felix doesn't realize what it is that Jack Frost does, actually.] It just never snows where I'm from. Not in the programming and all. [He smiles, proof that it doesn't bother him at all.]

And I wouldn't worry about your friends - I was told that time stops in the places we come from while we're here. Makes me feel better too...I'd hate to think about what would happen if I were gone.

[bringsthefrost]

Programming? [Jack raises an eyebrow, but he doesn't make any other comment. He's still kind of getting used to the fact that Felix can see him, let alone what he means. The comment about it never snowing does make him scratch his chin a little.] Well there are some parts of Australia that I tend to avoid because of a certain cranky rabbit but I do my best to cover the rest of the world.

They're not really my friends. We're...more like people that share similar jobs, y'know?

[haspixelexia]

[She looks up, startled at the sound of her name and---beams!!]

Hey stranger, what's crack-a-lackin'!

[Which is to say she pretends to be her usual ~suave~ self and leans into the sphere she was making and squawks as it doesn't take her weight and falls apart. Graceful, Vanellope, graceful.]

[nicelandmaintenance]

[Felix hops over towards her, immediately reaching down and helping her up. He's smiling brightly, and turns, quickly fixing the snowman for her.]

When did you get here? Jeepers, if I'd have known, I'd have found you at the train station!

[faithinfairytales]

[henry looked around and notices belle.] It looks that way. Do you know where I am?

[faithinfairytales]

[henry nodded. he has no clue where he was!]

Do you know where we are?

[faithinfairytales]

Ruby City? [henry looked confused. he'd never heard of such a place. walking over to the man, he glanced around the station looking for more clues.] And why not?

Snow White -> Once Upon a Time

[ilikecharmingbetter]

... Charming?

[What is this place? What had Regina done now? One moment she'd been in the prince's arms as the purple cloud of magic had rolled over them and the next.. she'd woken up on a train.

Her footsteps echo too loudly as she steps onto the platform and feels the sole of her shoe slip on the icy surface. She shivers, pulls her coat tighter, and sets her jaw determinedly before calling out again.]

Red? ... Anyone?

[seamistress]

[She is just about that point when you just want to smash something in frustration. She went around town and there's nothing familiar around here. None of the crewmates, no familiar sights, nothing.
Back in the station, she finally notices the fliers. She rips one off the wall and takes a look, before she hears Snow.]

Hello?

[Well. It's the first person she sees; might as well try and get some information.]

Re: Snow White -> Once Upon a Time

[ticktockticktock]

[ And guess who had taken a bit of his time to check out the newcomers. Yep, this guy. He approached silently from behind before speaking up, his voice loud and clear. ]

Charming?

[ His tone is a jokeful one, he's really just trying to mess with her. ]

I appreciate the sentiment, but we haven't even been properly introduced yet.

[notposey]

[Fluttershy squeaks, moving back from the watch quickly with an,] Oh! Oh my!

[seamistress]

[She's...not even sure what she's looking at is real. She narrows her eyes and looks closer at the stream...]

What is this...?

[seamistress]

[She isn't sure what to think of any of this. She didn't look like a threat, so there's that, at least. But one can't really relax when they suddenly find themselves in completely unknown territory for reasons and by means not of their knowledge.]

Another world?...
What are you talking about?
Where is this place?

[seamistress]

According to some of these posters, this place is called Ruby City.
...are you alone?

[seamistress]

[She takes a moment to look at him. He looks...strange. She had never seen a young man like that. Things keep getting stranger and stranger.]

Santa?

[chanelnipples]

[Well, well, well, if there are things that will leave someone like José Castelo Branco surprised to see in a place like that, would be someone as his dearest and most adored fucking ugly bitch I'm going to rip your fucking nipples by biting them you fucking fake blonde friend, Luísa, who he didn't see for a while after a fight they had in a VIP party to see who would get the first hot punch.

But there was no need to worry now. BFFs like themselves need to be together in a place as dangerous as this one. He turns on the watch, with the most possible happy face ever! Oh, he could so sing a song right now. How they were having such a great adventure in the wonders of Ruby City.

Note: Get one billion rubies to actually make this city be a literally Ruby City.]

Ooooh darling! It has been so long! How have you been? Did the surgery to permanently remove your chest hair work?

[faithinfairytales]

[finally someone henry recognises but why is she here too?] Mary Margaret!

[bringsthefrost]

[When it becomes obvious that she's talking to him, he rises from his perch on top of the light pole and jumps down, using the hook of his shepherds staff to catch the branch of the light once and then uses the wind to slow his ascent down, landing softly on his feet.]

Y'know. Big guy in a red suit, drives a sleigh, delivers presents to kids.
