((Question, Why do we have to post in order? What if where waiting on someone to post a replie to your character, and they cant because they are two people behind you. Plus what if someone doesn't post? Then some of use cant post.)))

[zapdragon555]

(So sorry for the wait; I've been really busy this week. ^^;;
And that's just usually how we do it, MoralChaos. It keeps someone from falling behind.)

Clive shifted slightly as the sun came out from behind a cloud and struck his eyes. He let out an annoyed groan of protest and sat up. A hand flew to his head as a pounding headache wormed its way into his brain. Noticing the very obvious lack of hat on his head, he looked around for his missing newsboy cap. He found it a few feet away, covered in dirt and other nasty things. He wrinkled his nose and whacked the hat over his knee a few times in attempt to clean it, then placed it back on his head. Well, that took care of the sun in his eyes, and he finally got to take a good look around...

Wait. Where on earth was he? Clive honestly couldn't remember where he was last. Jail, right? He smirked. "Well, wherever I am, I'm not behind bars," he said, slowly picking himself up and dusting himself off. No, this place most certainly wasn't Scotland Yard... "This doesn't look like London, either!" he murmured, curling a hand in front of his mouth in thought. Best not to dwell on that, he figured, starting to walk off. Just standing there would get him nowhere.

(So, they're just in some fantasy city place? xD I wasn't too sure how to start~)

((Can I make a suggestion here about post order? Can we maybe make a rule that, like, if someone hasn't posted in, say, 48 hours, we're allowed to "skip" their turn? They won't get kicked out of the RP, no, but they will be temporarily skimmed over. I've done enough RPs with a ton of participants to know that systems are good, or else the whole thing gets clogged up.))

It was a fairly normal day in the Suenyan royal palace. Which was to say: The servants were hard at work maintaining the place, His Majesty King Alvaro the Second was busy chatting with his advisors, and "Archmage" Cora Dorado and Prince Jasper were screwing around with the World-Warping Gate despite being repeatedly told not to.

Wilde-tamer Mariselle Johanesdatter, who ought to have known better, stood lookout in the hall in front of the Archmage's office. She ought to, but from her fingertips dangled a stringy bathing suit even scantier than her normal attire. "Come on," she hissed. Inside, the Prince fiddled with the knobs on the machine hurriedly. Cora's eyes scanned the flickering images through the gate, each one a different world.

"No... No... C'mon, Jas..."

"I'm going as fast as I can!" Jasper replied. He froze on another image briefly, and flew away at a dismissive cough from Cora.

"Wait," she breathed. "Hold on." The gate froze on the image of a swathe of green, framed by blue and glittering silver. A tree swayed in a salty breeze.

"Smell that...?" She huffed deeply. "Smells like the sea. I think we might have a good one."

Jasper peaked over the control panel into the gate. "Oh! Wow, look at all that water! Wanna check it out, Cora?"

"You bet I do!" she said, jabbing the air with her fists. "Woohoo! Surf and sun, here we come!"

Exuberantly, she popped through to the other side of the gate. A cool breeze lashed her face, and the smell of salt filled her nostrils. And, strangely, that of farm animals. A farm by the seaside? Maybe. She stood on a rocky plinth above a calm, shining ocean, but, without turning around, she reasoned a beach must not be far off. At that moment, all that was behind her was the window back to the Archmage's office, anyway.

In the room, Mariselle suddenly ducked back in, making a frantic sign. Wide-eyed, Jasper's panicked head suddenly poked through the gate. "Sorry! We'll come back for you! Boyse is coming!" Before Cora had time to register what was happening, the window blinked shut.

Her cheeks reddened and her eyebrows narrowed. "HEY! What's the big ide--"

She spun around angrily, only to collide with a tall, wide, thick-set man of whom she saw nothing more than shining armor.

"Oof! What the--" He had a rasping voice like sandpaper. Cora bounced away with a clang, chest ringing from the contact. He suddenly put an arm on her shoulder, trying to stabilize the both of them. She looked up into his unfamiliar face with horror--this wasn't part of the plan! Though confused, she realized that his greenish eyes were assessing her--he knew, automatically, that she didn't belong here, and, from the way he gripped her shoulder, she could be a threat. He wore what looked to be a hundred pounds of metal and leather, and his muscles bulged in a thick brown tunic. She did not want to be a threat to him.

Sweating, she tried to chuckle: "Uh, sorry, I'm just a little lost--I'll be going right now, if you--"

And then the world twisted around them. The man's head swerved as, for the briefest moment, they were somewhere beyond both time and space--

And then they both fell, in a heap, somewhere on a distant city street. His armored body pressed on top of hers, but she could see well enough to know that they weren't anywhere on Earth, or in Suenya, and probably weren't wherever he'd come from.

Jasper's echoing voice rang through the streets from on high: "Sorry, Cora!" he flinched. "Boyse hit some button or something! We'll figure out how to get you out of there! I promise!"

The man hefted himself to his feet with jangles and groans. "I--what the heck just happened?" He rubbed the back of his neck and shook his knees.

It was only then Cora realized that she'd brought him with her.

"Oh... Oh no. Oh no no no. ...Mister, I am so sorry." She ran up to him with horror flitting through her eyes. "This was not supposed to happen. This was definitely not supposed to happen. I--walk with me, and I can try to explain it to you as best I can, but this was definitely wrong." She gazed around the strange, city-like landscape. She'd been to enough different worlds to know that she didn't know this one, either. "Definitely."

The strange, armored man squinted at her. His mouth moved incredulously. "...Who are you? And what were you doing at the Lighthouse?"

"Uh... Cora. Call me Cora. And I didn't know it was a lighthouse, and I didn't know it was yours--well, come on. What's your name? Let's see if we can find out where we are."

He stared at her as she began to walk off. But eventually, he seemed to give in, and shrugged. "...They call me 'Double H,' miss Cora."

She paused. What kind of a name is THAT? What is he; some kind of spy?

Then she moved forward. I get the feeling this is going to be a really, really long day.

((Long post is looong. I promise my other posts won't be so verbose; I just needed to set things up. XD))

[MoralChaos]

Crimson had woken up just a few moments ago, still wondering how she got here, and where to go to find some help, "Where is everyone? There is like no one here." She asked Edward, who she met when she woke up and found him pocking to see if she was alive. "I'm not sure, but i hope where not the only ones here." he replied, thinking of a wired picture in his head. He shook his head to remove the image from his thoughts. After a moment of walking around, finding a few people along the way, but none of them seemed liked they wanted to help. "Do you know how we got here, or where we are?" Edward asked. Crimson shrugged, "Not sure shorty, but we will find a way." She smirked, and laughed to herself. "I'm Not short! Your just freakishly tall!" he hissed towards her. Crimson laughed, "Alright shrimp, hope you dont blow your head from getting so upset." She said as she made a sad face, and ran off while laughing. "Hey! Come back here!" he shouted running after her, not wanting to get left behind.

((Okay to clear it up, I agree with Freezair there. If someone hasn't posted for 48 hours, then we'll just skip them so we can keep this running. XD Sorry I was gone all morning down town and I'm leaving soon again, so sorry for not replying. XD))

((Also, yeah Wy, you're fine. And Zapdragon, look at the first post. I added a description with a map and the place and the plot. XD))

Rufus dusted off his sleeves and scowled at the fresh stains of dirt. He could barely remember the last time he had seen actual dirt. Perhaps it was when he was back in Junon, oh well it did not matter, what did matter is that this was most certainly not the city of Edge, or even Gaia for that matter. He knew he should of not touched any of the damned scientist Hojo's machines, but the one was so interesting and the materia in it was of great value. He glanced down at the faintly shining orb and smirked. At least he got what he wanted. Pocketing the materia he looked around studied the area carefully. Gaia only knew what kind of beasts lived here. He knew he was not used to a world such as this where there is life all around, and because of this he instinctively put his hand over his shot gun. He inhaled the air deeply and the scent of decay and industry filled his nostrals. With that he grinned and began to head towards the scent. Afterall where there was industry, there was people, people that he could hopefully manipulate and use to get back home.

After wandering for several hours Rufus grew frustrated with this planet. He hated to get dirty and with every step more and more dirt got on him. The strange pollen of the world didn't help either. His skin itched and he coughed hoarsely every few minutes. This place was a worse hell than Dr. Hojo's labs, and they were designed to torture, maim, and otherwise inflict terrible pains onto living beings. He sat down on a curb and coughed hoarsely. He glared at the local wildlife. It would be an understatement to say that he hated it here. Just as he had started to relax he heard someone shout. His hand flew to his shot gun and he leveled it towards the noise. There across the way ran up a women in strange garb with a short man running after her. He smiled and lowered his gun. Good, very good. There are people here.

He went up to the two and smiled politely, as he studied them. The short man had long blond hair that was braided back and the women wore a cowl over her face.

"Hello there. My name is Rufus ShinRa. Would you be so kind as to tell me where I am?"

He gave his best smile that he used whenever he needed to charm someone over. Sometimes it was very nice having classic "pretty boy" looks, other times, like when he was trying to intimidate someone twice his size, it was not so helpful. He had hidden his shot gun back in his long coat before the two had come close enough to get a good look at him. He didn't want to appear threatening afterall, not when he needed help from the pair.

(Very, very but soo late...)

Remilia was found above the Mansion´s roof, looking at the odd, red moon. It was a silent, lonely night, and her sister has gone off somewhere, her whereabouts were left unknown. She sighed, because all of the fun was gone because of her sister gone missing. She hopped from the roof and started to fly around, looking for something else to do. She wasnt used to getting this bored; she didnt even knew where was the Mansion´s Chief Maid, Sakuya. "W-where in the world could be everyone?" Suddently, the sky became dark and she felt a earthquake, something that never happened before. She stood up and quickly flew towards a strange light. The odd light was a portal in the Hakurei Border. She smirked, shifting her hands and flew as fast as she could towards the border. It was a opportunity, a very rare one, to finally teleport to another world. Of course, she needed to make sure Reimu wasnt watching over the Border. She gave a evil laugh as she landed right in front of the mysterious portal. There were odd crystals lying on the ground, Remilia took them and looked at them carefully. "Hmm, maybe these crystals sealed this portal, but it broke, I guess Ill keep them or else someone will seal the portal again..." She said as she started to walk inside the portal.

Remilia woke up in a completely different world that she knew about. She got up and looked around, smiling. "Allright then, I guess Ill have to start looking for some fun!" She said as she found some people at the distance, that also looked confused because they were somehow teleported to this, well, unknown world...

((I'll wait to see if Jet posts before I Post. And as an fyi Wy, Jetfire goes before you. Just for future reference. ))

((Gonna go ahead and post))

Terezi headed into the city. She wanted to have some action take place, or her life was just going to be an utter bore. Terezi smiled as she sniffed. She smelt the slight tang of candy red. Her favorite color. Terezi made her way deeper into the city. She followed her nose until she found herself behind a group of kids. One was wearing a red long coat. "Ooh! Red on red! Even better!" She licked her dark lips and approached the group very quietly. She loved being an utter prankster. The male in the red seemed like he'd be fun to mess with. He had a metal arm and a metal leg. Kinda looks like something Equius would make. She mused to herself. She walked behind the blondey, making sure she was out of sight from the others and laid a cold hand on his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Hey their little man. Smelling mighty fine are we? You picked the wrong day to be in red." She licked her lips. This was gonna get fun really fast. She knew that her appearance would scare the utter crap out of all of the people in the group.

(I warn you now. Terezi is an utter creeper. XD)

(Agh, sorry, didn't know it was my turn. xD;;)

"Nope, definitely not London," Clive murmured softly, his shoes making a steady tapping noise as he walked across a street. His head was up, eyes glued to the extremely tall buildings that covered the strange city. Suddenly a loud sound of a car honking hit his ears. "Ah!" he exclaimed, leaping out of the way as several cars sped past. He quickly sped to the other side of the road, panting a bit from the shock of what had just occurred. He cursed under his breath and straightened his hat, when something caught his eye. A young lady, it looked like from where he was standing. She had on a light pink dress and hat with striking red ornaments. Well, this face certainly looks friendly enough, he thought, strolling over to her. "Hello, Miss," he said politely. "Would you mind telling m--" He wasn't quite sure why he hadn't noticed them before, but the sight of the girl's... well, wings, he supposed they were, stopped him dead in his tracks. He was sure his voice had carried to the woman's ears, but he wasn't so sure he wanted her help anymore. Well, too late for that, he supposed. This place was just getting more and more puzzling. And moreover... how did he get here? Those questions will have to wait, he thought, waiting for the girl's response.

[Freezair]

((@Aunt: If you're gonna edit a post later, maybe you should use the "Bump" button to make sure it gets seen? Only thinking. XD))

Cora strolled off with initiative down the strange city's streets, leaving the slightly befuddled Double H to follow in her wake. Cora grumbled to herself as she walked, wondering how to explain things to this unfortunate abductee. Well, might as well start from the beginning, right?

"Sorry for showing up unannounced at your lighthouse or whatever you said it was," she said. "My friends have this world-warping gate thingy, see? And we were just looking for a place with a nice beach."

Double H's face looked skeptical. Cora wasn't sure if he could look anyway else, really--he had such deep frown lines and such dour eyes. His lips twitched and he answered slowly; concernedly. "...It's not my lighthouse," he said. "It belongs to my partner and her uncle. They're going to wonder about me if I go missing, you know."

"Well, sorry, but I can't get you back there right now!" Cora tried to hold back the huff, but it puffed out of her chest. Narrowing her eyes, she saw a cluster of people forming down the street. A short kid in a red coat. A strangely monochrome girl with horns. Some kid whose fashion sense was about seventy years behind the times. "Look, maybe one of those people will have directions to someplace we can get some food or something." Cora loped into a trot, but Double H stood curiously.

She turned around with a smirk. "Look, it was an accident. I promise. Your girlfriend or partner or whatever isn't gonna miss you; you'll be back before you left.* I can give you more details if you just walk with me for a little bit. Come on, Tiny; do you want to get left behind."

He looked at the crowd with a frown. She heard him mutter to himself. "...Well, I suppose there is safety in numbers. If she means me harm, she wouldn't do anything in front of a group of strangers!..."

* ((Technically not canon in Cora's universe, not anymore, but for the sake of this RP, she can still go back to a place when she left it. XD))

Crimson laughed, but soon halted to a stop when a man in a white coat stood in front of them. Edward almost crashed into Crimson when she stopped short. "What The..." Edward paused when he soon saw the guy standing in front of them. He didn't say anything. "Um, Hi." Crimson replied and paused for a moment, not sure who he was, besides his name was Rufus. "Well, sorry to disappoint you, but we dont know either. We just showed up, or woke you that is, and found ourselves here." She replied, still not sure if they should trust this guy, and placed a calm hand on her gun, that was in a holster that was tided around her waist. Edward looked at the guy, and thinking to himself, "Why is everyone for fricking tall?". Edward soon jumped with a scram when he felt a hand on his shoulder, and someone whispering into his ear, "What the H***?! Don't sneak up on people like that!" He replied. Crimson turned around, when she heard Edward scream. "Where is everyone coming from?" she thought to herself, then she saw more people coming.

[MoralChaos]

((Bump? I think it has been 48 hours by know...)))

[auntslappy282]

((Yeah. You're right. XD Go ahead next person! I think it's Wy? Since Jet hasn't been on in awhile, so go ahead Wy.))

[Wyvern]

((Wrong. Talcen´s next. Then Jet and Me...Ill go ahead before my muse runs away...))

Remilia smiled at the fact she wasnt alone in this world-- there were others who also came out from nowhere like her.  "Telling you... what?" She said, sighing. She noticed Clive was also stuck in the same question as she and the group of people. "N-nevermind... does someone here has even the smallest idea about this place...?" She started to walk around the group, wandering. "Well, nobody knows each other, I guess. Sooo..." Maybe they just needed to find someone who actually lives in this... odd place. Of course, its not like she can go ahead and act like, well, the leader of them. She sighed, looking at the ground for a moment. She slowly walked in front of the crowd. "Maybe this isnt a coincidence... Have we been brought here for a reason?" She replied. A reason, but what? Maybe the Hakurei Border being opened suddently has to do with this... All the people coming out of nowhere, did someone brought us here? She thought. She hovered above a small building, to look around. No, nobody out there seems suspicious...

"Dont you think we should find out what´s really happening...?" She said as she jumped back nearby them. She just had no idea what to do next.

((Honestly, what´s wrong with Jetfire? Seems that we need to talk or something, its worrying me a little. I mean, that we´re slowing up without even knowing the truth...Sigh...))

[auntslappy282]

((Talcen can go ahead and go. XD My bad.))

((This is kinda usual for Jet. He usually doesn't go on for like weeks and then comes back. So worse comes to worse, he doesn't get to reply for a while. I don't know at this point.))
