yuri nakamura ( angel beats )

[likeavillain]

[Even though Yuri had already realized that she was no longer dead, she did find it quite strange that she was still wearing the uniform for the Shinda Sekai Sensen - that's Afterlife Battlefront - which was why she had decided to wander around aimlessly, trying to look for clues.

The more, the better.

But if she sees a person, she'll just yell out to them, her voice relatively loud and demanding:]

Hey, you! Get over here!

[Doesn't matter if you ignore her or not, she's going to find a way to drag some answers out of every single person in here if she has to...]

Re: yuri nakamura ( angel beats )

[didhishomework]

["What's this feeling I just had? Am I having some sort of flashback? After all, there's only one voice I know that's as completely demanding like that, but it's not at all the same.

Is it possible for there to be two different kind of girls that feel the urge to boss strangers around?!"

Sighing, Kyon goes to face Yuri, walking back with a face that screams "this is bothersome".]

Can I help you?

[keepsontrucking]

[Even though he was told to split up to gather information, somehow his course manages to follow hers pretty closely. It happens so consistently that he starts to doubt if it's coincidence... Nonetheless, he can't help but notice that her approach hasn't changed from old times.]

Hey, Yurippe. These aren't NPCs, you know! You could ask just a little nicer.

[Well, at least he thinks they're not NPCs, anyway.]

[wyrmsbane]

[ The small girl being called out to perks up and runs forward. ]

I'm Nowi! [ And to use a phrase she's learn here: ] What's up?

[agoodgirl]

[That dragging information out of every single person was going to have to wait for a bit of a delayed reaction. And that reaction isn't much of one considering the wait, Kotomi meekly glances over at this sudden person yelling at her. Since hiding behind Tomoya wasn't an option, she had to make some kind of statement.]

[And that statement is pointing at herself with the implication of 'are you speaking to me?']

[multiskills]

[Well then, two can play the same game. Because Ajimu doesn't seem to be able to grasp fully of her current whereabouts, even after she had experienced living for more than three trillion years. This kind of place never even crossed her memories. Although in a case, she does seems pretty intrigued with this situation.

Unfortunately for Yuri, she have her own rules when it comes to seeking an answer. She returns her yell with a soft, but demanding tone.]

What a coincidence, how about you get over here and answer my set of questions?

[Yeah, no. She won't make any single step over to Yuri's direction. Ajimu be here, standing unmoved here like a statue.]

Ran Shibuki | Aikatsu!

[spicyageha]

Excuse me! If you could, please check out the Idol Club's concert this Saturday at 6:30pm!

[ You are either in: the town square, any of the parks, petting zoo, the general shopping area, by the fountain, the theme park, or at any of the schools when you see Ran. She is currently passing out flyers for the newly established high school's Idol Club.

There's a certain kind of sparkle in Ran's eyes when you see her - she lives for performing, whether it be on stage singing and dancing or down the runway for a fashion show. She has a passion for being an idol and she wants to share her feelings with everyone! Feel free to ask her questions as she passes you a flyer; whether you accept it or not is up to you. ]

We would appreciate it if you checked us out! Our concert is this Saturday at 6:30pm, we would love to see you! [ She is very dedicated to gathering an audience for the live! ]

[angerpoint]

...An idol concert?

[He's heard of them before, sure, but... all that flashiness. Plus, it'd be pretty humiliating to get caught somewhere like that. (Even though his sister would get a kick out of hearing about an idol event, for sure.) Still, Hugh glances down at the flyer with a kind of undecided distaste.]

I dunno, it's not really my type of thing... Sorry. Ask Mei, that sounds more like her thing.

super sonico ❚ soniani

[guradoru]

a) pleasure gate:

[ So Sonico finally bit the bullet and secured her first job in holly heights! It's to help advertise and promote an arcade, so she's wearing a costume. Oddly enough, she still is wearing her headphones, but that a trademark of hers. She's supposed to hand people cards, but instead she seems a bit nervous, waffling and muttering instead of actually getting her point across. Her friends, family, and Mister Manager aren't here, and she needs to be strong for them.

She steps out, offering the business card with both hands as she bows, her eyes tightly closed. ]

P-Please visit Moe Moe Funtime Haven! We would appreciate your attendance and would like to serve you. It is a very fun place so please try it out, and thank you very much.

b) shopping gate:

[ Sonico is in a music store, going through vinyl records of classic rock bands and a few classic punk bands. She's wearing a guitar case on her back. ]

Should I get this one, [ she raises her right hand which is holding a vinyl record by the stooges. ] or maybe I should get this one? [ and in her left hand she's holding a vinyl record by the clash. ] Or maybe I have enough to get both? This place has so many good and rare things. [ she actually looks a bit flustered by this decision. ] How am I supposed to pick...

c) housing gate:

[ By one particular house, there seems to be a swarm of cats. In front of the collection of cats is Sonico crouched down near a bunch of food bowls. ]

I wish I could take you all back home with me, but for now, the least I can do is make you all a tasty meal. If you're good, I'll sing you something special, too. [ She looks really happy with all those cats, petting a few of them. ]

[wyrmsbane]

[ It's a passing flamingo Sonico greets -- well, not anymore, judging from the way it collapses after a rock strikes it hard in the head. ]

Irvine Kinneas | FF8 | hella tentative i need to canon review bad

[pulseammo]

[Bogey, ten o'clock, and it looks like a good one. Coming to this costume party was a terrific idea, Irvine's gotta say, and he looks so swank in what the package called a "karate gi" that there isn't a girl around that can possibly resist his charm. All full of that confidence, he approaches the target, who he's pretty sure is of the female persuasion, and taps her(?) on the shoulder from behind.]

Evening, miss. This dance taken?

screaming forever

[nagyka]

[ Quistis is, of course, at the costume party dressed as a Law Enforcement officer. All well and good if that wasn't the exact thing that she happened to be here in Holly Heights. Her hair is up, placed carefully in some perfect up-do kept together with precarious placement of pins, no single ornament visible some way, somehow.

The voice is familiar, but she can't quite place it. It's enough to draw out a half-amused, half-sardonic smile before she even begins to turn around. ] Pass.

[ Better luck with the brunettes in the party. Perhaps she's a little bitter you wanted to leave her with Squall and Zell still? But she's turning and immediately her eyes widen and she laughs. ] On second thought... perhaps just this once.

libra | fire emblem: awakening

[libracant]

[a very pretty priest coming out of the cathedral, single-handedly carrying a heavy-looking table with an assortment of flowers on top of it — from the looks of the church grounds, it seems that he's setting up an event of some sort]

[addressing anyone who might be nearby — he can't quite see above the rose baskets] Excuse me, please watch your step...

[wyrmsbane]

[ Quite unfortunately(?) for Libra, it's Nowi. Quite fortunately, she knows never to tackle him when he's carrying anything as heavy as this. ]

Libra, Libra, I'll help!

[ and she's going to try and help him. somehow. ]

kotomi ichinose | clannad

[agoodgirl]

[a: general about]

[This was a very strange predicament indeed. Case of small tow girl suddenly finding herself in a completely different town. Sure, she has already digested all of the forms and general information provided by this mysterious landlord, but one can excuse even a girl genius for being jut a little lost.]

[And hopefully excuse her for bumping into strangers. It took her maybe a moment too long for her to actually notice what just happened.]

I'm sorry, please excuse me. [A small bow, she was polite, though very obviously shy.]


[b: shopping gate]

[Wasn't there something she had been sent out here for? Something for her new family? Or was it for a friend?]

[Whatever the mission was, it has been put on indefinite hiatus as soon as Kotomi noticed the bookstore. She was only supposed to take a minute, but fifteen minutes later and Kotomi had established her own corner in the back of the bookstore, complete with her own pillow and her shows off. Two hours later and there were several large piles of hefty looking books. Was that one on top in advanced biology?]

[The weird looks from employees and patrons alike were dully noted.]

A

[curvature]

It's all right. [ He blinks several times since it's weird to him... ]

You really don't need to bow. [ He rubs his neck awkwardly as he looks off to the side, thinking he's the last person that deserves any kind of reverence of this kind. ]

You're lost? [ He's going to guess here--not that he's projecting or anything!! He knows his way...! ]

Wy | Axis Powers Hetalia

[wyme]

(a)

[The weekend is a good chance to finally visit the petting zoo Wy's been wanting to go to for a while. So, on one Saturday afternoon she's wandering through the zoo, frowning a little. She loves animals a lot, but there doesn't seem to be much to these ones. Not that she doesn't like the little cute ones, but where are the crocs? The snakes? The giant lizards? She heard there were two zoos in this town, and clearly she's come to the wrong one.

She's pleased when she sees a kangaroo, at least. And spends a good amount of time petting it.

But if anyone, working here or not, walks nearby then it's likely that she'll stop and call the person over with a wave and a yell.]

Hey! Excuse me! Where's all the good animals?

(b)

[At the park, Wy can be found sat in the middle of the grass, a pencil in hand and a large sheet of paper in front of her. She has a huge pile of leaves and small twigs next to her too, something she's saving for later. Occasionally, she will look up at the tree in front of her, head tilted.

Anyone who sneaks a peek at the paper will see a (rather good) unfinished drawing of a possum climbing a tree.]

a

[sod]

[He's just walking past when he hears Wy yelling at poor soul who seems to work here. Really, he had no intention staying long - he's here simply to see how this zoo compares to the one Hong Kong decided to start before he arrived - so far it's pretty unimpressive, she's right about that.

However, the way she's addressing the issue... Well, it's not exactly lady like now is it?]

Apologies, she's just a little upset.

[At least that's the worker dealt with, and where there had been an apologetic smile, Wy is now met with a stern frown.]

You are quite aware that is not the proper way to ask for directions, correct?

[RAINING ON YOUR PARADE FOREVER]

Hugh - Pokemon Black 2/White 2

[angerpoint]

[Whatever Hugh came out to the Pleasure Gate for, it was not originally to ride the Ferris wheel, but that's what's happening now. It's here, so he might as well use it for what it was made for -- at least now, he can tell his sister about riding two different Ferris wheels, and one in a totally different world at that!

But there is only one problem.]

Hey! That Ferris wheel, do you have any idea if it's a two-seater?

[For a kind of tough-looking kid with rumpled spiky hair and a ridiculous fashion sense, he sure looks excited about the prospect...]

[aspertia]

[ of course that's going to happen right now! you can't just not pass up a ferris wheel ride, especially when you're a Unovan. ]

It sure is! You can see the whole town from the top.

Karina Lyle | Tiger and Bunny

[gonext]

[Karina was feeling absolutely unsure about being in this totally different place. Not only was she given a totally different family in a totally new place to live, but things felt... far too perfect. It was something she could never imagine existing in Sternbild.

She had a driver's license as she was old enough for one, but she wouldn't dare take the car. She would have felt more comfortable with a motorbike or even a scooter if it fit the all-too-perfect look of this place she was living in. With that said, she had decided to walk down the streets, trying to clear her head or maybe make friends to help her feel more at ease about living in this place.]

[splasher]

[if karina happens to be walking down the street of houses near the 70s, she is very likely to bear witness to a door opening and a zoom of white rushing outside. the teenage boy in charge of opening said door will be squawking in distress for a moment, leaving things in a mess behind him as he rushes past the zoom of white which-- turns out to be--]

[a young cat]

[it evades its owner masterfully, leaving makoto at a loss of how to go around catching it before it dares cross the street. fortunately, the white kitten trots up to the blond girl and stops, rubbing itself against her ankles and meowing loudly to get her attention.]

Supun!

[the unamused owner calls out, coming to a halt as he, too, approaches karina. maybe it's not sternbild level of activity, but some may claim it's just as bad.]

I'm so sorry! She's been trying to get out through the door all day! ...could you pick her up? I'm afraid she'll keep running if I get any closer...

konoe • lamento -BEYOND THE VOID-

[curvature]

[ All he remembers is falling asleep in an inn--he's MORE THAN SURE this isn't the same place he woke up in. Sure, he doesn't have the greatest sense of direction, but there's no way he could have wandered this far into some foreign land. Let alone in his sleep--grumbling to himself, he squints at everything as he takes small steps.

All of these people are without ears and tails? Are they like Two Sticks/Canes/Straws/Things he has heard in legend? Then again he lost them, too...

He hasn't hit the panic attack part yet since it's only sinking in ever so slowly. Two second in he hasn't been devoured by the void and he's pretty sure if this place were cursed he would be in multiple pieces--

OPTION A
SPLAT!! Fell right on his face while he was pondering. The lack of balance is really bad.... ]

Damnit...

OPTION B

[ He approaches you with his knees in a wobbly state, but he looks quite determined. ]

Hey, have you heard of anyone named Leaks?

this is katy btw... a!

[endgod]

[ Is that a person with cat ears.

And are they falling — yep. Yep they are. Medaka wanders towards him, and then instead of lending a hand, she reaches down tugs on his tail. ]

This is a great costume!

[ Little does she know that this is NOT A COSTUME. She loves animals! Except most animals run from her in terror due to her alpha presence, so either way this is going to be amazing. ]

Hana Asakura | Shaman King Flowers

[demonsout]

A [What happens when you take one kid with a truant reputation away from his proper home and a mom that more or less motivates him to attend school at all? Said kid stops going. Instead, he uses the school hours to look around on the sly to see if there is a way to bust out or to do nothing but rest under a tree somewhere when he finds himself feeling too annoyed with his situation. So catch him, join him, or maybe bother him.]

B [As annoyed as Hana is with his earlier situation, he eventually cools and decides he should find something to preoccupy his time with. The mall just so happens to be close by, so in the after school hours, he'll be there, grumbling and checking out the places that remotely interest him. Find him anywhere where there is food, media, or other typical teenage boy interests to be seen.]

B

[multiskills]

[Courtesy of her common habit of always wanted to find a new amusement, it just happened that Ajimu spotted the new machine in the arcade... A fighting game. Well, she got to try the game couple of times just before Hana arrived, but miraculously, every challenger that sat on the other side of the machine had been beaten up horrendously. Seriously, she's like a pro already.

AND it just happens that she spots a young man, who seems promising strolling around her eyesight. With the a soft yet somewhat-challenging smile, Ajimu offers the obvious.]

I do hope someone here knows how to entertain a lady.

Tiki | Fire Emblem: Awakening

[chikizard]

a -

[ Being over 3,000 years old, finding new things to experience is a rare event to be treasured and every since coming to this world she has found nothing but new things to experience. Machines! Foods! People actually ignoring her!

It is both eerie and enjoyable for her to walk down a street without a swarm of people surrounding her shouting "praise you!" or "bless me!". She is actually more overwhelmed by her sudden freedom than any of the bizarre things around her. ]

I have no idea what to do.

b -

[ Aaand despite being in a whole new world of fresh experiences, she does resort to her favorite pasttime of taking naps.

On a bench in a park.

On a chair in a store.

Underneath a tree.

And on some random person's stoop.

Maybe she should have taken the excitement a little more slowly... ]

B

[juniorlord]

[Seliph wasn't so much excited as curious - even ignoring the (many) ways in which this was obviously different from home, there was another, more subtle sort of difference that he couldn't help but fixate on.

People spoke without looking over their shoulders.

He was so focused on that one, simple thought that he didn't actually notice the woman laying down on his front porch. And by 'didn't actually notice' I more meant 'tripped right over.']

Woah!

[And there's where we join our hero, face planted into the hard wood of his own porch. At least he didn't hit his head on the door? He sits up after a moment, rubbing his head gingerly.]

Erm. [Admittedly, this has only been his 'home' for less than a day, and he hasn't spent any time here whatsoever, so... perhaps she lives here as well?

That still doesn't answer why she's sleeping on the porch, though. He peers down at her curiously, leans over to get a good look at her face.]

Are you alright? [That has to have woken her up. He assumes.]

Kanaria | Rozen Maiden

[kanarienvogel]

[Being in a different time and place She could handle that, as strange as it was, it was still something she was more familiar with than say... given a human body. Or suddenly finding herself with a lover and children. That was a human thing, that was a very human thing to have.

Of course, if she becomes Alice, she might have to acquire a few human thing or two. But she was still Kanaria, and she had no idea how grocery shopping works beyond the basics from observation and passing mentions from her human mediums over the years. She can handle this, she is the smartest, bravest and most cleverest person she has ever known!

So, she just awkwardly dump the most familiar items she could find to the trolley.]

(Future) Trunks | Dragonball

[tochangethefuture]

[Trunks isn't an entire stranger to being displaced from home and left to figure things out - for all that his journeys to the past were deliberate, the events in the past time line had strayed quite out of hand (though there is just no way that any of them could have predicted the terror that was Cell) - but Holly Heights is... something. It's peaceful, as far as he can tell, it's not a world where he would really need the strength and speed that he is used to having, and yet lacking all of the attributes that differentiate him from the average human being is... off-putting to say at least.

Work isn't anything he's lacking at least, on call mechanics seem to be in demand, and that's exactly what's led him to this particular doorstep, to knocking on this particular door.]

Excuse me? I believe, you have called for a mechanic?

Ajimu Najimi | Medaka Box

[multiskills]

A. bookstore

[Well, this one prompt is probably a little fourth-walling but what the hell let's roll.

In a bookstore, there's one Ajimu Najimi browsing the books, and whichever she deems interesting, she actually throws it into her shopping. Ultimately, the final book that is in her hand is a Shonen Jump.]

Oh. [She flips between the pages casually, until she stops at certain stories.] Guess The Big Three is still a thing, huh? I suppose some mangas do have their loyal readers.

[And then! She promptly closes the magazine to address the person who is coincidentally beside her: YOU.] Consider me interested to ask this, are you one of those readers?

B. park

[It seems to be just yet another normal day, and even you can see this brunette acting quite average, she even dons her relaxing casual attire. That is, until you see Ajimu approach you with a cheshire grin plastered by her lips. All of sudden, her right hand, which gripped nothing just a second ago, suddenly grips a fresh and juicy apple.]

Pardon me, but care to do me a favor?

[It’s totally a normal question. At least until you sight a handgun by her left hand, which she seemed to take with the same sonic speed as her right hand’s.

She’s not going to be so blunt with it, but she needs a target practice, in short.]

C. wild card

[Come at her, fellas.]

I forgot about this... B.

[intonothing]

[It's a lovely day, in fact, and Kumagawa is taking a normal stroll albeit he's still wearing his school uniform. However, his nice walk is interrupted when he spots Ms. Najimi coming up to him. It's probably not a good sign when she's sporting such a grin as well.

Either way, Kumagawa smiles through it all.]

「Ah, Anshin'in-san, what a coincidence!」

[It would probably be a little startling for someone to see an apple suddenly materialize in the girl's hand, but Kumagawa can only assume she used one of her quadrillion skills. However, the handgun was a tad strange.]

「A favor? What kind of favor could you need?」

Bobby Fulbright | Ace Attorney

[spiritofjustice]

[Dual Destinies spoilers may follow in the comments!]


[Having to reintegrate somewhere new is always tricky. New areas to explore, new people to meet... Deciding which store sells the best food, finding out which route to work is most efficient and gauging which people could be deemed 'fellow agents of justice'... To Bobby Fulbright, that sort of thing is a very important factor in everyday life, and everyday life is exactly what he needs to get on with. He doesn't like to linger on what has been if he can help it.

As he marches down the streets of Holly Heights to explore the community, he soon finds himself falling back into his old routine. That is, to be overbearingly helpful wherever he can for the sake of justice. Guiding old ladies across the street, telling people off for littering, saving cats from trees... He stops to boggle at the IKEA for a while (good grief, they have a location everywhere, don't they?) and ends up helping a guy carry a new wardrobe to his car.

Perhaps you need assistance? He'll be happy to help with whatever he can because that's uh... That's all in a day's work for a homicide detective, apparently.]

[notadetective]

[Well here's a fine citizen Fulbright could help! Although it looks like Gregory seems to have a handle on the bag of groceries he was carrying. It is a bit windy today though and the lack of a free hand made him unable to grab his fedora as a sudden burst of wind manages to knock it off his head.

Hats could be replaced, but he's rather attached to that fedora. So he's going to turn around and hope that hat hadn't gone too far and he could put his groceries down for a moment to try and get it back.]

Tsunayoshi Sawada | Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

[dametsuna]

[Why do these kind of things always happen to Tsuna?

One moment he was just done saving his friend from impending death via a black hole thing and the next moment he was asleep in some lawn chair on some lawn in some town he didn't recognize. Great. Just great.

Well, the initial shock of being somewhere unfamiliar hasn't set in just yet; He was too worried about Enma and the rest to start panicking. So, the first thing he decides to do is look for a way out. Which may or may not involve that giant fence over there, if he could just find his Hyper Mode pills, he'd be able to blast a hole right through or fly over...

But, there's a problem.

They're not anywhere on his body.]

That's weird.. I thought I had them in my pocket... [Dear God, seriously, why do these things always happen to Tsuna?

He sighs and gives up searching himself, instead walking over to the fence and thinking. He might not be able to blast through or fly over, but he could climb, right?

..except he's never been a good climber but what the hey! His friends needed him and he wasn't the kind of guy to just leave them alone like that!]

[About ten or twenty minutes later of slipping and getting cut on this or that, Tsuna finally manages to climb over the fence, attempting to land on his feet when he jumps over but we all know how that goes. He has a face full of snow and a body covered in battle wounds but he wasn't about to let that get him down! He was finally over and he could make his way back in haste!

Goodbye unnamed town in unnamed province of Japan or something, he won't be missing you!]

...Hah?

[Wait he-- but-- didn't he just--]


What the hell?! I climbed over why am I in this place again?!?! [Okay, now the panic was starting to set in.]

[kanarienvogel]

You can't leave this plane of existence from what I have gathered, maybe.

[Hi, she thought it might be good idea to sneak up on him when she saw him flustered and talking to himself.]

lucina • fire emblem awakening

[eyexalt]

( a. ) shopping gate

[ after Lucina has calmed down a bit about being taken from her world and "settled into" her new household, she figured that it was a responsibility of hers to take care of the people living with her. she knew she wasn't under any obligation seeing as they weren't connected in any way, but it wouldn't feel right if she didn't lend a helping hand.

that train of thought is what takes her to the great indoor marketplace - or what the locals call a "mall". she'd have to get used to that term... but for now, she's looking at the grocery list she made. ]

Let's see here... milk, eggs... [ she mumbles the rest to herself before raising her head to look around for the items. needless to say, she doesn't quite know where to start. ]

( b. ) pleasure gate

[ when she found out that there was a Colosseum in this town, you can bet your butt that Lucina headed over there without hesitation. this place was devoid of fighting, yes... but the future she knew had made her wary of peaceful times. she needed to keep her abilities on the battlefield intact, no matter what the circumstances.

she might not have Falchion by her side, but she's spent a bit of money on a solid sword. traditional weapons were scarce here, much to her disappointment. she's managed to set up some training dummies, and is eager to get to training. feel free to cheer her on... or watch her inevitably break something. ]

[chikizard]

[ Tiki, too, has discovered this 'mall' and has spent some time in it when she recognizes a certain head of long blue hair. She quietly sneaks up behind Lucina and watches what the girl is doing for a moment before speaking. ]

Only just arrived and yet you are tending to responsibilities. You are something else, Lucina.
