Welcome to Medietas! Do you have an interest in joining the game? Is there an old muse that you want to dust off? Or, perhaps you're looking for a place to voice test a brand new character and would like to do so in our little island setting among friends? Well, whatever the reason, this is where you can do that!

You all know what to do! If you don’t, just follow the instructions and HAVE FUN!

How To Play:

→ Comment with the character you’d like to test drive. Don’t forget to add their name and canon in the subject line.
→ Choose a scenario, or start your own!
→ Tag around!

Possible Scenarios:

1. Getting Settled: So, now that you've arrived and wandered around the starter home you've been given, it's time to check out the rest of the islands. There's a market on Aerilon that is full of treasures. Or, you can check out Chapter Six bookstore. Perhaps you wander over to the Mean Princess facility on Mulciber. There is so much to see and do!

2. Islands: There is definitely some weirdness going on around the islands from the sidewalks that glow to the mysterious energy that doesn't seem to have any direct source. There are statues that hum softly and seem to grow every so often. And what is with these bridges? Go forth and investigate! Puzzles are FUN!

3. PARTY: Every month or so there's always a celebration somewhere, be it on Mulciber, Imber, Mundus, Eurus, and now Nidus! Eat, drink, dance, talk among the other islanders. It's about making new friends and enjoying yourself, right? Even if you have been stolen away from your home world to a bunch of floating islands.

4. Trouble!: All is quiet and calm when suddenly the warning signals across each of the islands sound. Not long after, or, at least only long enough to get prepared, a large hydra creature crawling out of the lake on Imber. Do what you can to help remove this threat before it gets to any of the other islands!

5. Wild Card: Got something else in mind and want to create your own scenario? Go for it!

Amy Pond - Doctor Who - Spoilers for Angels Take Manhattan. You have been warned.

[still_running]

(Still testing, may be dropping River to bring in Amy instead.)

5. Meet the fresh meat

Amy stepped off the boat and took was was offered to her, scowling. Strange place. Check. Strange time? Based on the buildings... probably. She could handle that. She was fine being somewhere new, somewhere unknown. Somewhen unknown. She had even missed it.

What was not acceptable was that she was here alone.

"Rory!" she called. She would smack him if this was some joke of his. But... it was more likely...

She spun, looking around, red hair fanning behind her. "Doctor? River?" Had one of them done this? Must have. "Alright Doctor. You got me. Where's Rory."

If he broke time to save her, fine. If he broke time and saved ONLY her, he was going to be the raggedy man in a whole new way.

Re: Amy Pond - Doctor Who - Spoilers for Angels Take Manhattan. You have been warned.

[crowschild]

She calls for Rory and she gets a Rory's attention. Just the wrong Rory. Turning around when he hears his name he gives Amy a bewildered expression. Did he go out with her once? He tries to remember. But why would she want to know where he was if it was a one time thing? She sounds British... when was he last there? Not that it matters. They could have met, if they met, anywhere.

"I'm sorry? Do I know you?" he asked politely, his County Cork accent rather obvious.

Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury || Sailor Moon Crystal || 2

[mercurypowermakeup]

The islands were certainly strange. Ami had spent days trying to figure out what was going on here and she couldn't find much that made any sense to her. It was a huge mystery that she needed to solve. She also needed to figure out a way to get in touch with the other guardians. So far everything that she had tried just ended in failure, but she wouldn't give up.

She couldn't let her lack of answers get to her. This place and the people here was just one big puzzle and she probably didn't have all of the pieces yet. She needed to gather more information before she could attempt to figure anything else out. She double checked her observations once again and glanced at the time.

With a nod to herself, she grabbed a notebook and pen, made sure that she had both of her communication devices and headed out. There was a park nearby and she wanted to be there as the sun set. It didn't take her long to find the park and locate a good bench to just watch everyone and everything while recording some notes.

[clumsyhero]

Usagi was off to a horrible start that morning. She had no idea how to live on her own, she'd stopped somewhere to get something to eat and found that she'd run out of the money that she'd been given using it the day before to buy sweets. She didn't know how to cook and she wasn't interested in setting her kitchen on fire with nothing to put it out. She'd gotten a job as a waitress and this was supposed to be her first day working but she was already late.

A familiar cry could be heard as Usagi took a short cut through the park. "OH NO I'M GOING TO BE LATE!" She ran, her arms flailing a bit as her path took her directly past where Ami had been sitting.

"Ami?" She turned but momentum sent her forward, crashing into the ground. She sat up, rubbing her nose with tears in her eyes. "Why is it always me. AMI!"

Network

[appearing on the network is one bespecked young man wearing mostly black. Although he is an unfamiliar face, he addresses the screen in a calm manner]

Hello, all. As none of the shops here accept gil, I will be needing a job soon. If you could all tell me of any odd jobs needed around the islands, I would be most appreciative.

You arrived with a sizable amount of gil, then, I take it? [And he mentions the currency with some familiarity.]

Sherlock Holmes | Sherlock (BBC)

[everybody_shutup]

[01. Getting Settled]

Well. Sherlock Holmes was definitely lost in more ways than the very definition of the word itself. Obviously, there was trouble grasping how he could have ended up there when he was technically stuck in his own mind, and now none of it mattered. Not really. Not when there was no way out. That was a forced fact no matter who he talked to.

So, it was all a waiting game now. Wait for more answers. Wait for whatever called him here to send him back. Wait. Wait. Wait.

Waiting led to boredom.

Sherlock would finally emerge from his starter house, dressed in a white t'shirt, dark grey pajama pants and a navy blue robe. He walked to the end of his sidewalk, glanced down and then decided to take a walk.

"For gods sakes all I WANT IS A NEWSPAPER."


[05. Wild card]

Is there someone in this unbearably boring place that has a gun for sale? A cheap one preferably.

Nothing too big. But not one of those pocket.. things.

#distractionineedone

Cobweb | Wraeththu | TAKE 2

[supharstitious]

2.
[First an unplanned boat ride (where would that even have been possible) and now a city full of...humanity. And greater than any human place that still existed. The air tastes like magic, and the bridges are built of light. It's a dream he had once, and no one understood. He's just never imagined that it could be real.

If it is a dream, it certainly doesn't feel like it. But if it isn't then what is he supposed to do now?

He stands, stubbornly, on the end of a rainbow, unsure of whether or not he should test it. Things like that could never be trusted outright. Magic is always treacherous and this magic he doesn't understand, and can't wrestle into doing what he wants.

Perhaps, though, that's the point.]

What treachery is this, then? Who whispered?


3.
[With so many humans crowded into one place, Cobweb feels...anxious. Alone. Not another har in sight. And with the close proximity to humanity...he'd never seen so many in one place. And with all of them pressing together and up against him, the escape routes seemed to be few and far between. He wasn't interested in initiating interaction with any of them. Mostly he was trying not to draw attention to himself, off in one corner, trying to look terrifying instead of terrified, keenly aware of the fact that he's desperately outnumbered.

There's something mystical in the air--something portentous in being surrounded. Maybe this is a dream. Maybe he'll wake up soon with more magic about him.

It doesn't feel like one, though.]

2

[kakkahaar_lies]

Really this was like some kind of a beautiful gift, although Lianvis was dismayed the Listeners and Seers of the Kakkahaar hadn't caught wind of anything. His hair, long in Kakkahaar fashion, pooled down at his feet, his fingers and arms adorned like the perverted little magpie he was. Like Cobweb he could taste the magic in the air, feel it crackle, subtly. And so many humans. He could do a lot of work with so many participants.

And if he was lucky, the Hegemony would never find out. Life was good.

"Cobweb, as beautiful as always. You are a sight to behold. Now, don't tell me a few humans make you uncomfortable?" They were tools, couldn't you see that? Purely utilitarian. Think of how much power he could raise with all this humans here. The thought was exquisite. Shame there were a limited number of children though.

Cassian Andor | SW: Rogue One

[itwasneverachoice]

1. Getting settled

Getting settled was easier said than done for Cassian. Never mind the fact that he didn't do settled (a life constantly fighting for the Rebellion didn't leave a huge amount of time for stopping to consider the next step), but physically he spent the most of his first two weeks there simply recovering. The fall had damaged him about as much as he'd thought at the time, but since he was convinced he was going to die, it hadn't bothered him. He did what needed to be done.

Trouble was, he wasn't sure how to live now. Jyn wasn't here. K2 wasn't here. None of Rogue One were, and it meant that he was without distraction, something that hadn't happened for twenty years, since he joined the Rebellion.

First of all, he needed a plan of attack, and that meant trying to work out what he was dealing with here. He'd been told that it was peaceful, but he never relied on anything that he hadn't seen with his own eyes. And so if you were walking around Medietas, you would see a wary looking young man, balancing precariously on crutches, restlessly walking the streets.

[democratically]

She had settled in to life here, incorporating various aspects in to it on a daily basis. In truth, there were times when Padmé wasn't even certain how long she had been here. Some days it felt like years, although she knew that it wasn't true. She had found her son, grown in to his own man, and the appearance of Anakin just recently, as well. Younger though, very young, unknowing of what lay ahead.

Yet she carried on as she always had, taking each day one at a time. She enjoyed her work at the village, and while helping children wasn't quite the same as being a Senator, she was still making a difference in her own way. On her way home, she did pause to buy some groceries, a few small items to make herself a salad, before continuing on.

It should be no surprise that he catches her attention given that he was on crutches. Pausing for a moment, she regarded him, before speaking. He did seem a little lost, or perhaps distracted, and it was clear that he was recovering from some injury. "Did you- would you like a hand with anything?"

Hazel Levesque | Heroes of Olympus

[plutogrisagris]

3.

Parties, in theory, would be fun if one isn't an awkward teen girl thrown into the middle of a strange land with none of her friends having arrived with her. Since Hazel is one of these awkward teens, she's standing near the wall with a fizzy bubbly drink in her hand, watching everyone around her with a careful eye.

/GRABBY HANDS

[yearrounder]

One day Annabeth will have to have a talk with Will about locking her out of the house. It's rude and annoying. Except okay maybe this one time is the exception as she spots a familiar face in the crowd of a party she really doesn't want to be attending but is anyway. And she makes her way closer, almost not believing it.

"Hazel? When did you get here?"

Tsukasa Kadoya (Kamen Rider Decade) | Kamen Rider Decade

[last_decade]

1. Where's my Studio?

This was an unexpected, if not entirely unfamiliar sensation of being transported somewhere without his knowledge. It happened far too often for Tsukasa's taste. However, when he flexed the "muscle" in order to trigger the dimensional rift, it didn't answer. Frowning, he tried again and nothing happened.

With a sound of disgust, he took his communicator and map from the person at the ferry before they went to the next person. "Seems like I'm stuck here," he groused loudly. People knowing Tsukasa was uncomfortable in the situation was his MO as he keyed in his communicator. "Oi, anyone listening? I need information and nothing this thing says is forthcoming."


4. Kamen Ride

Hydra huh? Normally Tsukasa wasn't in the mood to get into trouble. Far from it: he welcomed a respite. However, that damn Hydra just spilled his drink while he was having a relaxing drink on the lakefront.

"You're certainly a big kaijin aren't you?" he said, pulling out his buckle and strapping it on. With the customary revving noise, he proclaimed, "Fortunately you ruined my drink, so you get to feel my annoyance. Henshin!"

Throwing the card into his belt with a almost offhanded flick of his wrist, he closed it into place.

KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!

With a flurry of images, ten images slammed home onto him, forming into his armor. Pulling out a card, he immediately set to work. "A Oni for a giant Kaijin."

KAMEN RIDE: HIBIKI!

His form shifted in a blaze of violet energy as he threw out his arm, forming into the Hibiki Rider. "Lets go."

Re: Tsukasa Kadoya (Kamen Rider Decade) | Kamen Rider Decade

[sumofallreds]

Marvelous is actually lounging in a tree nearby when the alarm goes off. Still groggy (and partly full of grog too), he'll make his way to his feet, steadying himself on the branch.

"Great. Big, ugly and lots of heads."

He'll then spot the flare effect from Tsukasa's transformation (nothing like that vibrant pink out there). He'll groan and open fire on the Hydra's heads to draw Tsukasa's attention.

"If it isn't the Destroyer of all Worlds. Or at least King of awful last-minute plans."

Julia - Cowboy Bebop

[elusivejulia]

1.

One thing out of several that she can say about this place is that it isn't Mars. It isn't Venus although there are islands. It isn't even Castillo. It isn't like any place that she has been to before in her time on the run. A shame that there isn't a name to the place. At least not that she has found. Despite that mystery the slender blonde walks towards the market area. Despite the unknown name and other mysteries, one thing is certain that she has to eat.

She browses the selection of fruit at a stand.

Re: Julia - Cowboy Bebop

[powertotearer]

Eiji's at the same stand, picking up a couple of pears and a small package of berries.

"Okay, those should last until the pears soften up. So what else?"

He doesn't notice, though, that one of the pears doesn't quite make it into his shopping basket and starts rolling away toward Julia.

Seth Nightlord | Trinity Blood

[empressingly]

1.

Some people go to sleep and wake up in their beds. Normally for Seth that was how it worked, barring the occasional staying up too many days in a row and getting dragged from one spot to another. Suffice to say that she certainly wasn't in Byzantium and from the looks of it she wasn't anywhere in her Empire. It didn't look right, didn't even smell right. As she wonders through the streets she comes to a stop and gives the places around her another critical gaze. "Doesn't look like this is one of Mirka's jokes." She folds her arms over her chest and lets out a long and dramatic sigh. What a bother. She wasn't certain what she was supposed to do at this place. She might have been grateful for the little home if she wasn't so annoyed under the surface.

"Alright. Lets see..." She taps her chin as she works to come up with some sort of plan in her head. "Wonder if there'a jewelry store as nice as anything back home." Who was she kidding? What could possibly compare to the empire's fine taste? She chuckles and shakes her head. At least she's enjoying the window shopping.

5. Network

Okay! Time for some opinions! What's your favorite type of tea and do you put anything in it? I guess I'll be nice and start. I'm a fan of lavender tea with milk. Actually as an extra I have a brother who I'm pretty sure is going to give himself a heart attack with the amount of sugar he puts in his tea. Any flavor and suddenly it's gone from tea to syrup.

5

[powertotearer]

That does sound like a lot of sugar. I don't mind it when it's in Moroccan mint tea, though.

Oh, and if you like milky tea, have you had masala chai? It's got different spices in it. I really like the Indian style, with water buffalo milk.

Tommen Baratheon | Game of Thrones

[lioncubking]

1. Wandering the Market

It had actually been days since Tommen arrived. At first, when he was directed to the little cabin by that school, he had basically locked himself away and saw no one and nothing but the four walls around him, the few items from home that somehow just appeared, and Ser Pounce. To be fair, the strange place he had arrived in didn't seem dangerous or frightening, but when the last moments you remember from back where you belong consist of hurtling towards the stones of the Red Keep's courtyard, seconds from death, you need time to calm down.

Eventually, though, Tommen decided that he needed to see this new world he'd found himself in. This in itself was a new experience for him. To be walking around the city on his own without an escort of guards was unnerving, and yet freeing at the same time. He was a stranger here. There was nobody to impress or lead -- not that he was any good at either -- and nobody wanted anything from him. He wasn't the king here, and that was wonderful.

After a long walk that seemed to him like it should have been a lot longer, he arrived at a large marketplace and wandered through the rows of booths, doing his best to weave his way though the packed crowd without knocking anyone down or getting knocked down himself. Of course, this was something he was trying to do while staring down at the strange device in his hand that he just could not figure out. Words would scroll by on the surface, as well as strange symbols and images of people.

The jostling of the crowd didn't help this at all, and Tommen stumbled and struggled his way out of the throng, leaning against the wall of a nearby building to stare dumbfounded at the thing in his hand. Of course he'd had it explained to him. Sort of. It was how it worked that baffled him. Hesitantly, he touched one of the symbols and immediately dropped the device with a startled yelp when a loud video message started blaring. The voice was speaking of something he could not for the life of him decipher. Tommen looked around the street self-consciously and snatched the device up from the ground, smacking the thing until the loud voice finally stopped.

"Why can't we just use ravens?" he muttered at the offending thing in his hand, "At least I know how those work."

[thekittenqueen]

She had never considered herself to be a coward, but the sight of Tommen shortly after her arrival had left her reeling. Too easily were memories brought to her, nightmares that she had kept suppressed and had ignored since her recovery. She had thought a little of her husband, wondering what had happened to him after the Sept had been destroyed. She couldn't imagine that Cersei would relinquish her power, not again. Tommen would be her virtual puppet.

While she knew there was a possibility of him coming to the islands, she never believed the day would actually arrive. He thankfully hadn't seen her. She was surrounded by children, having come to play with the orphans of White Willow Village, allowing her a measure of privacy and distraction.

After several days of debating on what she should do, she mustered the last of her courage and prepared herself to face her husband, strong and composed as she often made herself appear. "Tommen?" She called softly, approaching him as he was leaving his home.

Loki Laufeyson | Marvel

[lokilowkey]

1

He was honestly a little surprised. Waking on a strange flying boat, only to be offered a phone by a stranger once they reached dock was something he was fairly certain wasn't a Midgard tradition. And then he'd questioned them and oh.

Okay.

He was somewhere new. Not that he believed everything he was told, it was clear that his welcoming committee believed it all, but was it the actual truth? Hard to say. But he was nothing if not confident in his ability to figure out what was really going on. Which meant it was time to explore.

He could be found roaming at this point, all but bouncing from place to place, in and out of shops and cafes like an exuberant whirlwind. Wherever he was? He couldn't help but be excited to see all there was to see.

Louis de Pointe du Lac | Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles

[longedfordeath]

[2. Islands]

It was too bright here. Louis' eyes had always been sensitive to the light, and being able to walk in the sun was still too much for them, although he had advanced to wearing sunglasses with the curtains open during the day. Even at night the light rivalled that of a modern city like New York or San Francisco, and he found the glowing sidewalks to be more of a nuisance than a boon.

It was for this reason that he tried to limit his excursions on Aerilon, the most urban of the islands, and why he tried to avoid the more developed areas of Nidus. Eurus (bearable with sunglasses) was where he wandered tonight, haunting the opera house like Leroux's Fantôme, watching the people on the streets come and go, strolling the residential neighborhoods and glimpsing people through their windows, going about their businesses. Occasionally he stared too long at one mortal, or listened in on a conversation too closely to the speaker, old vampiric voyeur habits dying hard.

Have Amy!

[still_running]

Amy was still trying to get her bearings. Donna had told her there were multiple of the Doctor here, but she had yet to find them. She had met a Rory that wasn't Rory, and frankly, she was getting ticked off. No Doctor, No Rory, No River. Right then, Amy was going to get to the bottom of this herself, no matter what it took, because back home there was a centaurian waiting for her. And she'd kept him waiting long enough. About two thousand and sixteen or so years, depending on who was counting and from where.

So maybe she might seem interesting to watch. A fiery redhead, just edging past prime with a determined look on her face and... absolutely no clue where she was going. But she was going to get there!

Madison 'Maddie' Rocca | Power Rangers Mystic Force

[fluidsea]

1. Getting Settled

After learning a little about the islands (and quickly learning her magic wasn't working let alone able to morph), Madison decided the best thing to do was to see if she could find her sister or any of the others despite it might be a lost cause. So she walked. And called frequently. "Vida! Sis? Nick? Udonna? I'd even settle for Leelee at this point!"

[tript]

"Sorry, I don't know anyone with those names." Trip had heard someone calling and jogged offer to see if he could offer his assistance. "But there are plenty of people I haven't met yet." He looked apologetic for not being able to be more helpful. "But if you have an idea of the sort of places they like, I can help you look, if you want."

Trip Tucker - Star Trek Enterprise

[tript]

2. Islands
To Trip, humming meant electricity, so he was trying to find the source. Sidewalks shouldn't hum, but lying on them and putting his ear to them hadn't got him very far. The statues were the same. He went all round one, before he established that the humming was louder around its head. The angle it was at meant that the best way to get a look at it was to stick his head through its arms and put his ear to its face.

It was definitely louder here and he turned his head to get a better look when the statue grew. Which wouldn't have been a problem, except that the arms stayed in the same place. It meant that instead of its arms being around his neck, where they've been before, they were around his shoulders. Which were considerably wider. It didn't seem to give him any room to get back out, no matter how much he wriggled. To add insult to injury, it was a female statue and his face was now level with its chest.

He had just enough room to take a deep breath and shout, "Help!"

5 At the Cocktail bar
While Trip was at the bar, waiting to be served he smiled at the person next to him. "Anything you'd recommend?" There was quite a list of cocktails, which made it hard to choose. "I'm not fussy."

[democratically]

It was the sound that caught her attention, turning Padmé from the shopping that she had been doing. Uncertain what the problem was, she turned away, following the noise, until she rounded a corner and saw- well, she wasn't entirely certain what she was looking at.

"Oh." For lack of anything better to say. "You... were the one calling?"

Catelyn Tully Stark | Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire

[onlyvengeance]

A. [ The festive atmosphere had reached even the streets. Strange and exotic music, at least to her ears, played on many different instruments. There were all manner of foods available, and people dressed in a dizzying array of colors and styles. It served to distract her from all that she had lost. ]

Raven | X-men, Through Apocalypse

[notsogroovy]

Getting Settled
Raven's live was always full of surprises. From the first time she could remember feeling she was different from the people around her to finding out that people had traveled through time to stop her from killing someone, the bizarre and usual seemed to be a common occurrence. So much so that her standards were growing and changing by the day. Gone were the days when meeting another mutant was a cause for celebration. Given that she'd met and helped defeat what amounted to the mutant god, not a lot could surprise her.

Going to sleep and waking up in another place shouldn't have been surprising as it was except that she didn't seem to be imprisoned or held against her will. If she'd even remembered being drugged, that might have explained something. Instead, all she knew was going to sleep in her bedroom at the school and the next, she was...here. Wherever 'here' was.

An island of some sort, she decided after leaving the house she'd been 'assigned'. A series of islands, really, all small enough that they could have been nearly anywhere and Raven would have found it hard to judge even with a map.

She'd been waylaid after leaving the boat she'd woken up on by people who claimed to be there to answer her questions, but she wasn't sure who or what she could trust. She wasn't even sure she could trust her own experiences - she'd met too many people like Charles for that to ever be a certainty - but it was the best she had. She steeled herself, picked a random direction, and began walking.

She ducked her head in one door and saw technology unlike anything she'd ever seen before. Another door held flowers. And then there were...children? Was someone kidnapping children? Her eyes flashed gold as she felt a sudden surge of anger. They looked happy enough, but it was still kidnapping. Who knew if their parents were on the island at all.

Jordan McKenzie | Original Character

[kindrake]

[Getting Settled]

Jordan was just a tensed up ball of a person when he arrived. He'd never been good with people since his powers first started showing a few years ago and was even less so since the incident that left him paralyzed from the knees down. Now, with always having to worry about Ladon and still hardly able to control his powers, he was almost always constantly on edge whenever he wasn't at the farm with the other students. He'd gotten better at keeping his abilities under control with Chara's help, but there were still times he got overwhelmed... like when he was out in a crowd, which was exactly where he was right now.

Unique Gifts, Chara called the abilities he and the other students had. Yeah, well, to Jordan, they'd always seemed more like a curse than a gift. He wished he could just turn his ability off and keep it that way. The people trying to hunt him and the other students down listed his ability as clairsentience, but Chara said he had the "Gift of Feeling." Jordan scoffed to himself just remembering the way she had phrased it.

Feeling everything, in his opinion, sucked. He had thought going to take a look at the market was a good idea, maybe try and find out more information about this place and try to get back home. He didn't know what he'd been thinking - it had proved to be a very bad and stupid idea. Maneuvering a wheelchair through crowds of people was enough of a pain, but with so many people so close to him and more than a few asking him if he needed any help, it was like their feelings were getting drained into him. He felt their concern, their pity, felt that some people just didn't even give a damn about him. He'd rather deal with the latter kind of people because that meant he didn't have to wave them away and insist he was fine.

He'd ended up tucking himself into a place that was as out of the way as he could get in a market street, rubbing his temples and squeezing his eyes shut at the headache he felt from the sheer overwhelming amount of emotions that were barraging him. He could sense Ladon's concern through their bond, but he was still paranoid that the people hunting them might be here and take Ladon away if the drake was found, so he firmly insisted that Ladon stay where he was. The second they'd gotten off the boat, Jordan had ordered the drake to find the nearest body of water big enough to conceal him (which had been easier than usually given that Ladon had somehow shrunk) and wait there, no matter what happened. If anything bad ever happened to Ladon, Jordan didn't know what he'd do with himself.

Re: Jordan McKenzie | Original Character

[element_wizard]

Being an empath with exceptionally good shields, Alec is probably a dead zone for Jordan. Currently, he wandered around the market place with his brown fire-lizard curled up on his shoulder just looking at shiny things and not particularly paying attention to anything. In fact he walked right past Jordan without noticing him.

Only when Trey trilled and then leaped off his shoulder did he turn around, cursing as the fire-lizard knocked over a few glass vases on a stand. "Buggerfucknuts," he growled mostly to himself as he flicked his hand out to the vases. They stopped in their fall and with another gesture they reversed themselves back to their original position.

Meanwhile Trey perched himself onto a nearby pole and stared down at Jordan, trilling lightly.

Gai Ikari | Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger

[do_it_ecstatically]

1) Arrival

"Huh... I thought I had dyed my hair..." Gai shrugged his shoulders after noticing the reflection of himself in the water, realizing his blonde hair was back to its usual brown. With a shrug, he noticed he had arrived at his destination. Given his map and communicator, Gai hopped off the boat to look around at his new "home".

"Looks nice enough... but, enough of that. Need to find Marvelous-san and the others! We need to get back those powers!"

4) Trouble!

"Go! Get out of here! I got this! Don't worry!" Loud sirens, ugly monster approaching everyone! Time to be a hero again! Oh, this was what he lived for, even if he was a pirate! Jabbing a finger out, he addressed the monster before him. "Alright, you wanna mess with everyone here, huh? You're gonna have to go through me!"

With that, he pulled out his Gokai Cellular and Gokai Silver Ranger Key, slotted the Key inside the device and pressed a button on it. "GOKAI CHANGE!"

[GOOOOKAIGER!]

With that, Gai's usual clothes was replaced with a silver pirate-like outfit, a helmet covering his face. And once that was done, he struck a pose.

"GOOOOOKAI... SILVER!"

Well, it's not too bad all things considered as Tsukasa watched Gai pose. "You're so into it," said Tsukasa, watching Gai from afar.

Despite loving his D-Wheel, Jack actually didn't travel around on it. Sometimes, he liked to slow down and move around on foot.

At the market was where he encountered Elena, tilting his head at her motion before remarking, "They're pretty, aren't they? The earrings I mean."

He could appreciate fine craftsmanship after all.

Jack Atlas | Yu-Gi-Oh Arc V

For the most part, after settling in, Jack could be found at his home, working on his D-Wheel, or Duel Runner as some had come to call it here. Clad in his white-and-blue jumpsuit which he never seemed to change or take off even while sleeping, Jack was under the hood of his D-Wheel, making tuning and adjustments to the system, in order to better facilitate the program since it was independent now of the City's devices.

Later on, he'd be out shopping, carefully selecting fruit from the vendors and inspecting each one. It wasn't a cautious motion, but a practiced one as he was careful on what he ate. Growing up in the slums of the City had caused him to be picky about his food, even if the King wasn't supposed to have any flaws.

A party! Jack was in his element, entertaining guests and smiling warmly at people. Raising his glass, he made a toast before noticing that maybe you've been sitting in the corner, or perhaps he wanted to chat with someone he knew from his arrival. "So! You have arrived here at the party as well?" He would ask in his usual approach.


4.

While people ran screaming from the hydra, there was a D-Wheel roaring towards the lake where it had emerged. Jack knew that Real Solid Vision would help against this threat, and he drew his card, "MY TURN! Hydra, you trouble this place no longer! I summon Red Sprinter to the field!"

A huge flaming dog erupted from a pool of light alongside Jack as he roared towards the nearest building and took a flying leap. The bike wailed as he zoomed UP the side of the building. "When Red Sprinter is the only monster on my side of the field, I can special summon a level 3 or below Tuner monster from my hand! I then summon the Tuner monster, Red Resonator to the field in attack position!"

Throwing out his hand as the Red monster appeared, he proclaimed, "I tune my level 4 Red Sprinter with my Level 2 Red Resonator! The crimson souls shall become one. All shall tremble before the king's might! Synchro Summon! Appear, Red Wyvern!"

The Red Resonator transformed into rings of light as the Red Sprinter slid into place, transforming into a line of stars equaling 6 as the monster erupted into being. It let out a roar as Jack launched right off the building's side and into the air in a dramatic backflip with his D-Wheel. While in the air, Jack threw out his hand, pointing at the Hydra.

"BATTLE! Red Wyvern attacks the Hydra!"

A familiar bright red ponytail could be spotted as Ed's scooter seemed to zoom by (abet at the pace of a Vespa). In the bike's basket was a very happy Corgi since Ein was tagging along for a trip to the market. As Ed parked the bike she leashed up Ein and the two went into the market to get supplies for the next few days. But as they left the butcher she spotted the blue and white jumpsuit as Ein made his "new friend!" arf. "Don't worry!" she called to Jack,"Ein's a sweetie! Worst he'll do is lick you silly, especially if you have bacon or bones." two of the dog's favorite treats.

Ellen Kurokawa | Suite Pretty Cure

[hearts_beat]

1) Arrival

To be quite fair, Ellen wasn't keen on the whole "being kidnapped and sent elsewhere" bit. Spending a few months being evil would do that to a person. Er, cat. Whatever. She was lucky she wasn't coming in unprepared, seeing as, hiding in her long purple hair were the two Fairy Tones needed to transform.

Finally arriving in the city, Ellen stepped out and looked around, blinking at her surroundings.

"Such a strange place. Especially with it in the sky..." Ellen muttered. Granted, things flying in the sky shouldn't be too surprising, seeing as where she lived for the longest time, but still...

2) Islands

"Wh-what in the world?!"

Ellen quickly wiped her eyes and blinked as she saw the sight before her. She was certain that that tower just grew before her eyes! Towers just don't grow like that! Not even in Major Land! Well, maybe in one of the other kingdoms. Like the Land of Sweets, perhaps?

Either way, this confused and worried Ellen - what could cause such a thing?! Curiosity is getting the better of her! She better investigate!

[au_yusei]

"So you saw that too?"

This question came from Jack, who was pulling up in his D-Wheel, the motorcycle humming before it shut down with a soft whine. Getting out, he detached the Disk from it and reattached it onto his arm. "It's the first time I've seen something like this happen."

Toph Beifong | Avatar: The Last Airbender

[platetectonics]

Arrival

Toph stumbled woozily as she hit the docks and then made herself keep moving, only partially aware of things being shoved into her hands, until she could no longer feel wood under her feet. She hated wood. So she may have scrambled a little to find anything else, finally taking in a deep breath as she finally hit dirt. She shifted slightly, eyes never focusing on anything. It somehow made her look even smaller than she was, and almost vulnerable.

Right up until she dug her toes into the ground, planted her feet firmly underneath her, and opened her mouth, anyway.

"HEY!" She shouted at the top of her lungs. It was impressively loud. "What's the big idea putting me on some stupid boat?"

Video
[The camera flicks on clearly by accident, considering it's pointed firmly at the ground and might also be upside down. There's a female voice coming from offscreen.] --n't get what this thing is supposed to be. They told me it's supposed to talk or something but I don't hear anything.

[The camera spins wildly again, for just a second catching on what looks like a small teenaged girl before landing on a pair of bare feet.] Maybe it's broken. It feels weird.

"They always put us on a stupid boat. I dunno why."

That came from Tsukasa who took a picture of the flustered girl with a slightly amused expression, not that Toph could see it of course. "You're in another world. And it's not like this place is going anywhere any time soon."

Noa Kaiba | Yu-Gi-Oh! DM - Ryslig CRAU

[noasark]

[[OOC - While fully completed artwork does not yet exist, and powers will obviously be rewritten to better suit the game setting, this image, combined with information here should paint an accurate note of how Noa appears. Naturally, he's also wearing clothes...but that's covered by narration below.]]

[1 - THIS IS NOT MY BEAUTIFUL HOUSE-]

[He wakes to the impossible.

He can still feel his scales-the four snakes in his hair hum and hiss curiously, tasting the air from the back of his scalp. As he opens his eyes to take in his surroundings however, it becomes clearer and clearer that he is not where he was before.

He wonders initially if he is in another dream-but he woke from that, he woke from the wires and the cables that struck them all, so that is impossible.

He is still a naga. He is still a 'monster'. Yet with a jolt he realizes that his crippling hunger is no longer there, not even a ghost at the edge of his mind. The boat is built entirely different from anything Ryslig had ever seen-and even then, a boat of this scale there? The only reason they went out to sea was for fishing, or to travel to the smaller islands.

They certainly didn't fly through the air.

And it is the air that leaves him choking. It is the air that leaves him slithering off the boat and onto the island with wide eyes behind chain-strung glasses, his suit top and tail-mounted cases standing out quite starkly among what surrounds him. Not that his snake-features weren't already doing that.

By the time his voice has found him, it is for no one in particular, a wavering and shaking child's voice carrying a tone that suits his age and sounds nothing at all like how he would typically bring it forth.] ....Where...

[And he chokes again, the snakes in his hair sensing his agitation.] Where on earth is this...

[2 - There's A Scientist In All Of Us, If You Look]

[The power here did not make sense.

He had worked with technology before-well. Sort of. He had been technology was more accurate.

What he worked with was more finicky than that. Sensitive circuits charmed with magic beyond his grasp, glowing with runes that hissed if he so much as considered tapping them wrong. Liewen's laptops were a mystery he had never truly solved in the end, for all the upgrades and advancements he managed to contribute somehow. Really, it wasn't hard to impress a society whose other advancements of notes had yet to progress beyond the era of the 50s. This magic seems a little less volatile toward his presence-for that, he thanks the absence of the Fog and the Fourth, the deities so viciously at war where he last was. But as for where that leaves him now?

It leaves him with a mystery. And mysteries, he feels, ought be solved.

He has a notepad with him, as well as a pencil-and as he travels through the bridges, the streets, the buildings-anything that has some sort of magical source of energy and power flowing through it-he writes. He writes, and writes, and writes more, furiously filling page after page with observations and notes, going so far as to see if there are panels or runes he can open up for study, or merely copy down. Anything he can get to-he is getting to it.

This would probably all look far less conspicuous if he wasn't both 12 years old, and half snake.]

[Mokuba is wandering around, getting himself familiar with this place, when he comes across Noa as his stepbrother is out and about taking notes. Unfortunately, he doesn't really recognize him. All he sees is a giant snake with green hair and a notepad. He just stops and stares some ways away, because that's something he's not expecting to see, no matter if he's been to another world before this one and has already seen some very strange things. His dog-sized robot Blue Eyes stops next to him and just waits, Noa not close enough for the little dragon to feel the need to do anything about it yet since Mokuba is still a good distance away.]
