[ She's positively amazed by this place. In her time, even Ylisstol's bazaar and marketplace aren't as packed with shops like this—and that's saying something, given that this isn't even that huge of a city. It's all very foreign, no blacksmiths or old-fashioned tailors or apothecary or anything of the sort, but other things instead. Now that she's gotten used to the shock of being here, she's very curious, in spite of herself.

Fortunately for her wallet, she's a very frugal person when she needs to be, so for the most part she only window shops, much to the annoyance of eager shop clerks. Every so often she lifts up something—a gown, a figurine, a toy—and murmurs in wonder to herself before placing it back down again. Thinking of how much her family and friends would like this and that.

Unfortunately, she gets a little too absorbed in her wanderings and turns a bit suddenly without thinking, colliding with whoever's standing behind her (that's you!) and dropping her things on the ground. ]


—Oh, I'm sorry. Are you alright?

[ Morgan's pretty fascinated with this place, too. He's gotten lost in the various bookstores already. He should have told Lucina he'd gone out, but it slipped his mind. So it's actually funny that he runs into her. He ends up dropping several books he's gotten. ]

Huh? Lucina! It must be fate that we ran into each other. Well, our mother wouldn't call it fate. More like a predictable outcome because our interests crossover. [ and he helps pick up both their things. ] Looks like you got some stuff here already.

[ She's a little surprised to see him, even though it's only been a matter of a few hours—after a pause she crouches down to gather up the rest of the stuff on the ground and hand Morgan's back to him. ]

A little. [ A faint, slightly sheepish smile. ] I was mostly in search of some new books, but there was so much else too look at.

[ A pause as she dusts her hands off. ]

Sorry about your things, by the way. I hope nothing was damaged...

hey hey, fellow citizens. how about you tell me about "happiness"? have you found it yet? was it hard?


OPTION B: (ACTION)
[ there's a public menace idiot in the mall.

yes, that one. the one with his nose smashed flat against the freshly polished windows of the toy store, watching the model trains shoot around and around their tracks. he'll be leaving all sorts of prints over that window, his breath fogging the glass in his excitement. now, it only takes a split second of him glancing to his right -- and out of the corner of his eye, he's spotted you. (shia labeouf) which means you're screwed. sorry, no take backs. he's beckoning to you, and pointing at those stupid model trains with a shit-eating grin on his face. ]


Hey, hey! [ he's calling you now, you have no way out ] Wouldn't this scene be better with a damsel in distress tied onto the tracks? And a hero to save her!

They didn't take too much of a fall -- I'm sure it's all fine.[ it's good to see her happy, and while he's usually upbeat, he notices her good mood. ]

Only a little? Then I guess we'll have to do more shopping together. Mother and father think we're quite the dynamic duo on the battlefield, and I guess some tactics there can be applied to shopping, right? I'll have to look over my notes-[he instinctually reaches for his notebook but realizes he doesn't have it. ] Oh whoops, I forgot I left my notes back home. [ he laughs it off. ]

There we go. Where are you off to next? [ he's gotten his stuff in order now, holding onto his bag. ]

[personal profile] skiodis 2013-11-25 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Nico's naturally wary of cellphones so he's not touching that thing with a ten foot pole, thank you very much. It's lying on the sidewalk, having been thrown as soon as it was discovered in his pocket. If your timing is right, you might walk by just in time to see the young demigod run right into a wall in the shade of the house and fall on his butt, confused and agitated.

Otherwise you might just happen to ask him why he's thrown his cellphone away.]

[he's just an innocent bystander, beckoned by this snake. as far as makoto is concerned, this is a kid excited about toy trains or something.]

It might be? [if the hero saves her, that is] But I guess it doesn't come along with the set. You could probably buy other toys to go with it and play that out.

--ah! That one shoots up real smoke...

[now he's entranced by the trains going on and on]
morujiana: (yes..)

[personal profile] morujiana 2013-11-25 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Morgiana was definitely there in time to see Nico slam into the wall. Her lips curl into what could be considered an almost amused smile but it goes away just as quick as it came. The fanalis makes her way over, bare feet tapping against the ground. She crouches at his side, red eyes staring at him intently.]

..Are you okay? [She wondered why he even decided to go right for the wall like that. Question of the century.]

[ you're doomed, makoto. ]

Don't you think! The train would go "choo choo", and the damsel would go "aiiieeee save me, Mr Hero"!!

[ giddy laughter! at least he's not smearing his nose all over the window like he had been. ]

Ah ha ha, ohhh. What a laugh. What sort of heroes do you like, mister? There's so many, I understand if it's hard to choose. But! What if you were the hero! How would you save Miss Damsel, hmm? Think quick though, I bet she doesn't have much time.

option a; (action)

[Not many would choose to come all the way out to the farm when it's a pretty decent day. There's plenty of other things to do, surely, yet the allure of something akin to the countryside is too much for England to ignore. It feels like home, in a way, or at least it did until he ended up in this situation.]

Baaaaa.

[The call of sheep is all anyone would be able to hear at first, even as England lays on the floor. However, it is because of that, that he is difficult to make out underneath all the sheep that have decided to make friends with him.]

Mgh... Get off, you bloody wankers--

[There's a loud BAAAAA as he tries to nudge one sheep aside-- spoilers, it's not really working all that well.]

This is all Wales' fault, I'm sure of it.

option b; (video)

[It's just one of those days where despite having a satchel to keep all his belongings in place, he still can't find his phone when he's looking for it. Sadly, it's also because of this that the video starts up as he pokes around for it.]

I just had it a moment ago--

[Another scuffle as he pulls out a book, and more light feeds into the bag, then finally!!! The phone is free! Upon seeing that the video has already started he clears his throat, coughing into his hand lightly, and glances away.]

My apologies. Though I had intended to do one of... these anyway. I haven't been here long, but I wondered if anyone had any decent recommendations of reading material?

[ She's nodded distractedly to most of this while rearranging the few books and other things she's picked up in her bag. It's not to say she hasn't been listening, but she does seem a little taken aback at first, glancing up. ]

Er, well... I haven't really been buying anything. Just looking. It's probably not much fun.

[ Not that she means to blow him off, necessarily, and catches herself after a beat. Turning her head this way and that, she picks a direction and nods toward it. ]

That way?

Walking over, he offers him his hand.]

Euphemia li Britannia | Code Geass

[personal profile] confelicitous 2013-11-25 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
option a;
[There's a princess in your midst, Altaciere High, and one that is determined to fit in to the rest of the crowd. Somewhat.

Okay, so her giant ballroom gowns and bright pink hair don't exactly help in that regard, earning her many curious looks from the local kids. But one thing that Euphie's realized is that a number of them are (fairly) self-sufficient, something she unfortunately isn't.

So, in an attempt to become a little more normal, a little less princess-like, she's doing some very brash things like experimenting with cooking recipes. Locked inside the Home Ec. room after classes, Euphemia's been flipping through books trying to find the perfect, and simple, baking recipe. Even if she has a mother-figure here, she should try and help out a little.

...

The mixing and the preparations go in order, and aside from making a mess with the flour and eggs, the batter looks okay and everything makes it into the oven. It's only when the timer is halfway done, that she starts to smell something burning...]


Oh... oh no. No, no! Don't burn on me!

option b;
[So this whole living like a normal teen thing has been working out well over the past few weeks. Euphemia's learned a few things, gained a few friends and acquaintances, and even got a small part time job. The Library honestly looked like it needed a hand or two the few times she's dropped in, and Euphemia's been finding herself adapting to the needs of the job fairly quickly. It wasn't like issuing out orders or going over concerns of certain peoples, but that was okay with her. She could live with this job.

Sitting at the front desk, she's shuffling and sorting around some recently returned books. At the sound of someone approaching, she looks up, a quiet smile on her face.]


Good afternoon! Do you need help with anything?

I think so. [a compact smile] But I guess she would try to appeal to anyone around...

[he looks back in time with the questions, which he considers. though perhaps not too seriously.]

--well, I do like heroes from video games, and those in manga who fight for their friends.

[still, the answer is vague]

Eh? Me? ... Wouldn't the most logical option be to untie her from the rails and move her away from the train's path as quickly as possible?

kyouko sakura | madoka magica - the different story

[personal profile] phantasmata 2013-11-25 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
option a (for action!)

Kyouko knew this was bad. It broke at least one rule, she was sure: Thou shalt not steal. She would be in so much trouble if someone caught her, and her father would be disappointed. But she was hungry, and going into that house and stealing someone's food seemed even worse, even if it was supposed to be her house, according to the papers she'd found. Obviously there had been some sort of mistake. She hadn't lived in a place that nice in a long time.

So, she decided to climb an apple tree. Whoever it belonged to wouldn't miss one apple (or two), she thought, and once she got them she'd just climb down and make her way out of this backyard. No harm, no foul. If she could get her Soul Gem to work, she could manage to...well, she wasn't sure. Finding Mami seemed to be the most logical course of action, and surely the other girl was looking for her too. She wasn't even sure if Mami was here, and that was a thought that was a fair bit too terrifying to entertain. Being trapped in some weird place, in some weird house that wasn't hers, her only means to defend herself wasn't working...and then her senpai missing? It sounded like something right out of a horror movie.

Kyouko did not indulge in many horror movies (she wasn't allowed to most of the time), but she knew enough of the ins-and-outs to know that the line of thinking she was headed down led nowhere good. It was best to focus on the tree. She climbed carefully, but awkwardly — Kasamino City and her lifestyle afforded few opportunities for things like tree-climbing, and without her magical girl powers she would be in a bind if something were to happen.

A stray gust of wind cut her thoughts off abruptly. She lost her balance, and for a brief and dizzying moment, she was certain she would fall, but she grabbed hold of a nearby branch at the last moment. She breathed out slowly, said a tiny thank you to whoever had been looking out for her just then, and continued to climb. The apples were so close, and she only needed to reach out.

She hadn't thought about the climb down yet. She didn't really want to.

There's some punkass kid climbing your apple tree, citizen! What will you do?]


option b (video!)

[There's a burst of noise over the network, like someone has their dumb face way too close to the phone and is breathing into it. And someone does have their face way too close, because all you can see on the screen is one giant eye. After a moment, there's a sheepish:]

Sorry!

[Silence. Eventually, the girl pulls away from the screen, and clears her throat in a deliberate, serious way. She looks no older than fourteen or so, and has very long, very red hair. She may look pretty familiar to some, but the polite way she speaks isn't.]

I wasn't sure if these thing really worked... [She rubs the back of her head.] But now that I know, this is way more serious than I thought. If you can hear this, while I'm thankful for the home and the food,

[she bows her head slightly] I already have my own family to go home to, and my mom and dad will be upset with me if I'm out this late.

[She still hasn't really swallowed the idea that this isn't some sort of weird mistake.] Um...I know this is a strange question, but is there some sort of...magic doing this? [...] Eh, I know that sounds weird! [Flapping her hands!!] But this sort of thing is familiar to me, so I'd really like to know. Thank you.

[Familiar. Right. Out of sight, she stares at the ring on her finger. Still no reaction...she couldn't summon her Soul Gem at all.

That was worrisome. What kind of Witch was this? She hunches her shoulders a little, sinking further into her slightly oversized sweater, and mutters, not expecting an answer:]


Senpai, are you here too? I saw your name on this phone. If you are, please answer right away. Something weird is going on.

[personal profile] ex_revise122 2013-11-25 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Well, sure. If by "logical", you actually mean "boring".

[ kano that's not very polite. neither is pointing your finger directly at his face. ]

But! We're not talking about you as Mr Mundane, mister! In this scenario, you're superhero. And what do all your heroes have in common? Ah, I'll tell you what the answer is: they're spectacular! Try again, now. If you had only once chance and you could do something spectacular, with no limitations, how would you rescue her? What if you could fly, or had super strength! [ so chatty... ]
craterface: WHY-HY-HYYYY!?! (I'M STUCK IN A CUTSCENE!)

Ruby Rose | RWBY

[personal profile] craterface 2013-11-25 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Option A
[Oh no, oh nononono, OH NO. This isn't where she should be, nor is it definitely the right place. Well actually, the houses looked pretty nice, and the inside seems pretty comfy- but now's not the time to dwell on it!

Ruby's pretty much running all over at this moment whilst hollering as loud as she can.
]

Yaaang!! Blake! Weiss! Can you hear me?! Jaune! Pyrrha! Nora! Ren! Are you here too? Um, uh...if you're here, just break something, or make an explosion- actually, on second thought, don't do that!

[And in an instant, she trips over a loose rock. She may or may not have crashed into someone;either way, Ruby is face-flat on the ground, and heaves out a pained groan.]

Where are you guys...

Option B
[Ruby's found out about the outside gates! And somehow, after an attempt to climb over it, she's gotten her cape stuck on one of the gate spikes. At least she still gets a good view of the neighborhood, somewhat.

There goes that chance of getting to freedom.
]

Erm, don't mind me! I'm just...making myself a swing, is all.

[And she flashes a nervous smile. God, she really hopes this day ends early.]

Aqua | Kingdom Hearts

[personal profile] keytoblivion 2013-11-25 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Prompt A - Video]

[It's strange to consider that one man is powerful enough to not only pull her out of the Realm of Darkness but also to render her of her magic and take the Master's (now her) Keyblade away; and even though so far it doesn't appear like she absolutely needs either in this world, after all the time in the Darkness the lack makes her feel uncomfortably vulnerable.

The loss of the wayfinder hurts even more; even though she's back in the Light - from the looks of it at least - because that is the connection to her friends, to Terra, to Ven, to Mickey, to all the people she met over the course of her journey.

There are so many people here though, at least that is what she gleans from her inspection of whatever network the device in her hands is connected to and if there's so many people here, then maybe there is reason for hope, maybe one of them has seen...

She presses her lips together before she activates the feed, and though she might seem just a little haunted, the look on her face is determined.]


Hello everyone... my name is Aqua. I suppose I should start by expressing my gratitude to the Landlord; I'm truly glad to be back in the Realm of Light after being trapped in the Dark for so long. There is someone I'm looking for though... a young man my age named Terra.

If anyone has ever seen him or heard of him, here or elsewhere... please let me know. Thank you.


[Prompt B - Action]

[Well, it is Christmas time and even while held in a strange world without her abilities, there are certain traditions to keep to and that is why Aqua has been keeping busy in the kitchen for the majority of the day already, humming songs under her breath while she works on yet another batch of Christmas cookies (there may or may not be a finished batch sitting on the counter and waiting to be decorated).

Housemates/friends/guests are certainly all welcome to help/watch/try sneak away a cookie under her nose! Keyword being try.]

[ So, this was kinda like a sphere. It played video and sound just like the ones back in Spira. But... this wasn't a sphere. It was a two way sphere. But, then it wasn't! It was a clunky rectangle device that Rikku had grown to find not too bad.

She was pretty tech savvy so when she finally figured out how to make a video, she wasn't shy in the least. The Al Bhed girl needed to get answers very soon. ]


Rana fa ku...

Hiya, everyone? I'm not sure if I got dropped off at the wrong town, but this isn't Luca or Besaid Island. Kinda hoping to get directions there if anyone knows the way!

Maybe you've seen a brown haired girl or a really tough white haired girl looking for a girl named Rikku? If so, yup, that's me and I'm fine! I need to get a hold of them soon!

[ She's waiting. ]

( B - Action )

[ Only Macalania compared to this place right now. As the snow was beginning to fall and there was a thin blanket of snow outside on the roads, Rikku was friggin freezing! She needed to buy clothes, obviously, to prepare her for this type of weather.

So, there's a girl scantily clad walking towards this "mall" place, all by her lonesome. She's freezing, give her a ride? ]

aoba seragaki | dramatical murder

[personal profile] intonation 2013-11-25 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ that shiny new convertible sitting in the driveway of aoba's new (hopefully not permanent) home has been gathering dust since his arrival. aoba hasn't really taken much note of it since the beginning considering that he doesn't know how to drive, nor were cars commonly used back home... but in a fit of restlessness spawned from being continuously foiled out of finding a way out of here, aoba decides to make use of the one key he hasn't used on his ring yet.

it uh, doesn't go so well. which is why he's standing sheepishly on the side of the road with the car (in a ditch), thankfully unhurt... though the same can't be said for the convertible. smoke is rising from under the hood, and the bumper? it's the proud owner of a new, large dent. rubbing the bridge of his nose, he sighs. ]


Crap.
