Aya | Green Lantern: The Animated Series - post end of Episode 19: Loss

[parameters_set]

[It takes mere moments for Aya to realize the function of the device she has and only one more to activate its video feed.]

Greetings. I am Aya of Oa and the Green Lantern Corps. I am attempting to make First Contact. This location is not in my databases. I require information.

Jaime Reyes | Blue Beetle Pre-Reboot

[beetlecave]

[Don't mind this kid. He's just casually looking around town, talking to himself.]

What do you mean we can't use that? Is it not- okaaaay...

So what are you saying? We're stuck? Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, that's a fancy way of saying we're stuck.

[Sigh. Interrupt him?]

[ooc: Christ I have no idea what I am doing. I'm still reviewing him but UH YEAH HI HAVE A BEETLE.]

Shinjiro Aragaki | Persona 3 Portable.

[adios_comma_asshole]

Tch.

[risetocaesar]

Aren't you chatty.

[Not that this is at all unusual.]

[hasthepotential]

Did you already find something wrong?

[If you think she's not pulling more outta you, buddy, you've got another thing coming!]

Minako Arisato (Female Protag) | Persona 3 Portable

[hasthepotential]

[The nice thing about this place was that it was spread out and much more open than Iwatodai. It wasn't nearly as crowded (one of the down-sides) but with lots of space to go out and explore.

Which is why, bright and early, Minako's decided to go for a light jog around the town, see who's up at this hour.]

Zachary T. Paleozogt/ "Zot!" | ZOT!

[paleozogt]

[Have curious, cheerful face staring into the watch, fascinated and pleased... and chatty.]

Did anyone else think that train looked kind of old-fashioned? I guess the city looks pretty much the same, so probably not. Wow, this is some dimensional mishap, all right.

Guess I should just sit tight until Jenny and Uncle Max find me.

So! Citizens of, um... Ruby City! What's this place like? What do people do for fun around here? Is there a crime problem?

Oops, almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm Zot!

Christine Daae | Phantom of the Opera (2004)

[lessons_from_an_angel]

[She's still in costume from her first performance, looks around the train station before lifting her skirts to avoid getting it dirty. The last thing she wanted was to ruin one of the opera houses costumes. And she wanted to hear her angel again, to know if he'd heard her performance. To know if she had done well. The opinions of the crowds barely mattered to her.]

Fluttershy || MLP:FiM

[timidtones]

Um... [There is a very timid pony poking her head out of the train. She's making no move to actually get out of the cab she's in quite yet.]

H-hello? Is anypony out there? [Squeak.]

[Why does this place have to be so spooky? Her ears fold back in a submissive sort of way as she finally raises a hoof to step onto the platform.

And then the train horn blows. Suddenly Fluttershy is reduced to a pink and yellow blur of motion as she half scrambles half flies out of the compartment and smack dab into anyone waiting on the other side of the train station platform.]

Radagast the Brown | The Hobbit

[mushroomaddledmind]

[Have a filthy hobo, Ruby City... Nah, I'm kidding. He's actually a wizard with bird crap in his hair. And that's because he had birds nesting underneath his hat. Deal with it.]

[eulogium]

[guess who's out? sitting at the edge of one of the stone buildings watching the moon. he's letting his feet dangle, looking a bit entranced.]

Static/Virgil Hawkins | Static Shock / DC Comics Pre-reboot

[bangbaby]

Toto, we are definitely not in Kansas anymore.

[Fiddling with the communicator, Virgil boots up a video communication.]

So, citizens of the future... or wherever. Anyone mind telling me what kind of portal I stepped through to end up here and which way leads back to Dakota? Manhattan? Gotham?

[badnewsboy]

Ah, pardon, but ... shouldn't you leave a little dirt for the plants?

[looking all too innocently curious while he says that.]

Hiroshi | Ao Oni (Super tentative)

[all_onis_are_true]

((Apologies for the icon-link methodology. Can't really afford an account right now.))

The boy with white hair and scarf is looking through the library, flipping through random books. Every so often, he'll grunt, put that one down, and move on to another one. It looks like he's looking for something in particular, but he's not having any luck finding it.

[hasthepotential]

[Though the mischievous streak in her is tempting, Minako doesn't slow her pace or quiet her breathing, approaching him in full jog and in the middle of some strained panting.

How odd for Ryoji to be out all alone like this. Had he been up long?

It wasn't too far out of her way to head in his direction, so she heads on over, watching to see if she catches his eye.]

[mushroomaddledmind]

[This is Radagast looking vaguely as him for a moment.]

Dirt? What do you mean?

[And then Sebastian, his hedgehog, comes over. Because Radagast wouldn't go anywhere without him. Especially since his bunny sled couldn't fit int he train.]

[eulogium]

[the curious look on his face is brief before his expression softens into a smile.]

Hello, Minako-chan, good evening. Out for a stroll at dusk? Or did you know that I wanted your company?

[a sigh escapes his lips, and his shoulders seem to deflate as the air escapes him.]

:3c best frieeeend...

[discordiality]

[Oh dear...it's a good thing that you've got such a kind and caring draconequus to help you out, darling~ He'd have caught you if not for the fact that you actually surprised him though.

He turns from the neck up, raising one bushy eyebrow.]

As your friend, Fluttershy, I feel compelled to tell you that was hardly graceful, and also...you're on my wings and that you should get off.

[It's progress. He could have done a lot worse, really!]

sssshhh this is totally me test driving her

[alotofhonesty]

[Applejack had just been standing there, staring at her surroundings and trying to figure out where the hay she was... When her thoughts were rather rudely interrupted.]

What the-! [She looked at the yellow and pink thing that had collided with her.] Fluttershy! [Carefully, she helped her friend back up.] You're here too?

oh goodness

[timidtones]

[Oh that's... a much softer landing than she had expected--]

D-discord! [pause.] What? Your-- oh no! [She half scrambles, half rolls off of her new bestest friend. Her concern for discord apparently outweighs her fear!]

I am so, so, so sorry. That was terribly clumsy of me. [She steps forward, examining his wings before fluttering up just a foot or so off of the ground.] Are they alright? I know just the fix if they aren't!

Re: sssshhh this is totally me test driving her

[timidtones]

[She's just a little reluctant to be detangled from her fearful, quivering ball of pony but...]

Applejack! Oh goodness I'm so glad you're here! Well, no not, HERE really but[whimper] I'm glad I'm not alone. [She lowers her head, and whispers.] Where...ARE we?

[alotofhonesty]

I dunno... But something tells me we're not in Equestria anymore...

[Just looking at the closest buildings, she couldn't image the kind of giant creatures that might live here.]

Re: oh goodness

[discordiality]

[Oh. Well gee. If only he could bring himself to take advantage of this. >:c]

It's quite alright, really. No harm done! [he flaps both mismatched wings and gives a smile and a nod.] There, see~? [Oh, one of these days he'll pull of sounding sincere--...nahh, he prefers the flippant tone.]

Though if you really want to be helpful, you might tell me where we are? I've been around, and I've gotta say I've never seen anyplace like this.

[He stands upright, giving the train station a cursory look. Why, it looks downright abandoned here, to be honest, and not nearly as bright as any place in Equestria he's ever seen...]

[timidtones]

[You might not have noticed when it was happening but Fluttershy is now currently cowering underneath you Applejack, in the space between your front and back hooves to be exact.

She lifts one hoof from covering her face to peer over at the now empty train tracks]

S-should we wait for the train to come back...?

[timidtones]

[The power of friendship prevails!]

Oh good, I'm glad! I would have felt just terrible if I had hurt you. [but as for the subject at hand, Fluttershy grimaces and swallows thickly.]

I don't think we're IN Equestria anymore... [the thought is terrifying.]
