Who: 47 and OPEN
Where: Some arcade somewhere in Genessia
When: Wednesday Evening
What: 47 takes advantage of the relative anonymity his costume gives him to have some fun.
Warnings: I can't think of any? Will add them if they come up.

[For those who hadn't seen Rose yet: she looks like a traditional gargoyle: stone, grey skin, bat-like wings, red glowing eyes, but for blonde hair, and her ability to speak in her mostly usual voice.]

They say you're not to keep wolves as pets.

I mean, first off, yeah, it ain't right to coop the wolf up inside, for sure, who wouldn't get stir crazy like that, yeah? But even beyond that, they'll never be domestic. You never know when one might turn around and bite ya, no matter how much you try to feed it.

I was always more a cat person myself. Had one as a kid. Even got a flap in the door on the Powell Estates so she could come and go as she pleased. I know what it's like to need to wander.

I didn't get a new one when she died. Not 'cause it hurt too much, I don't think that should ever make you stop from making new friends, [A VERY STERN LOOK AT THE CAMERA. Brought to you with all the subtlty of engraving it on a rock and throwing it at the Doctor's face.] but 'cause I was fourteen, and ran away at sixteen, and then when I came back I had to work off debts, but basically, I didn't intend ta stick around there very long, or even as long as I did.

[Pouts a cheek to the side, which looks hilarious coming from a gargoyle.] Fer awhile, I thought... outliving your friends, because of a really long life, must be like that. You never forget or stop loving your pets, and how close or important they are to you is just on you and them and whatever yer relationship together. Some people wouldn't let themselves get that close to pets, knowing they're gonna die sooner 'n not, but [Another stern look at the camera. SO SUBTLE ROSE.] I know my friends enough to expect better than that.

[Glances off sideways.] Somewhere along the way I started thinking of myself like a pet dog. I forgot that wolves can make humans or even domestic animals their pack mates, but you still mustn't think of 'em as tamed. It does 'em a disservice, but they can also bite even friendly hands. Never docile, are wolves, yeah?

[Action]

Setsuna knew something was wrong as soon as she realized she wasn't in her room, the unfamiliar ceiling of the Bay staring her in the face. The unfamiliar weight over her stomach drew her attention, the young girl sitting up to sort through the box. She didn't seem to be in any immediate danger, indeed she still had her nodachi with her as she rifled through the boxes contents.

A part of her had wondered if she had somehow ended back up in Mundus Magicus, but the pamphlet quickly quelled that thought. Slipping the pendant around her neck, she made her way out of the Bay, bridging the long span of water in a single leap as she inspected the area around her, as well as the hologram awaiting her.

[Coming into view as the camera snaps on is a young girl with black hair pulled into a ponytail with a sword handle sticking up out of her shoulder. She's dressed in a school uniform as she looks into the camera.]

Ah, hello. I have read the pamphlet about this place and have seen the hologram. I have to wonder if anyone has seen any of my companions from my world here?

I suppose it would be best if I introduced myself. I am Setsuna. My companions are from a place called Mahora Academy where we were students once. I suppose the name Ala Alba or White Wings would also work since that was a name of our group.

It is nice to meet all of you.

[The streets of Genessia city are crowded with monsters, now visible in the feed because Scott had accidentally dropped his communicator during a scuffle with a ghoul.

Let it not be said that Scott Summers is a man who doesn't know how to adapt. He's taking full advantage of his new incubus form, using wings as sharp blades to stab and cut through his enemies or to lift himself in the air and get some extra momentum before a punch. The resulting dust cloud after he dispatches a banshee obscures the presence of a Wendigo. The beast takes advantage of that to deliver a vicious backhand, sending Scott flying hard into a nearby wall.

Scott stands up, swiping his hand below his nose and wiping away blood. He doesn't have super strength, never did, and he knows that a Wendigo is too strong to defeat with simple punches and kicks. Frowning, his brown eyes glint red for a moment. A second later, Scott's charging straight at the Wendigo, who tries to cut him with his claws when he gets near. He deflects the attack by leaning backward, sliding quickly along the ground and between the monster's legs to end behind him.

The Wendigo growls and trashes as Scott grabs him by the fur on his back, extends his wings and takes flight, lifting the angry beast with him. They are now out of frame but the growls of the Wendigo can still be heard, sounding further and further away with each passing second. Scott's voice is distant too but he can be heard casually asking the monster if he knows how do eagles eat turtles.

Nothing happens for about five seconds.

With a yowl, the body of the Wendigo comes crashing into the ground, exploding into a pile of dust.

A nearby mummy looks up in confusion, only to end faceplanting on the ground too when Scott drops from the sky like an angry god. He's standing on top of the broken mummy with his bat wings extended when he notices the dropped communicator.]

Oh...

[Waking up in a pod apparently did not take Anna by surprise. In fact, she didn't seem shocked at all that she was just taken somewhere she'd never seen before. She actually seemed quite calm as she appeared in the feed. Once she spoke, the British accent became pretty clear.]

Well, can't say that this is something I expected to wake up to. I guess I just need to find my way back.

[But before she gave much time for anyone to tell her otherwise..]

I've already been brought up to speed by the hologram and the pamphlet. I guess it's nice to have an upgrade. [Gesturing to the phone for a moment.] I know that -- as of right now -- there is no known way out of.. uh... [She paused for a moment] Genessia.. was it? [Oh well, continuing on.], but this isn't exactly my first rodeo when it comes to supernatural forces. I'll find a way out.

For the time being, I need to find a place to stay, but more importantly a job; Have to pay for a place and whatever I'll need here somehow right? I'm not sure what you have in store for me, Genessia, but preferably something to do with investigations would be best. The agency that I worked for dealt with a lot of the supernatural causes that others turned a blind eye to. Back where I'm from, people don't take supernatural instances so well, so it's better not to rile up people where I don't need to.

But I suppose beggars can't be choosers, so I guess just getting a lay of the land would be best for the time being. If anyone has any useful information that I should know about this place that hasn't been covered already, please let me know. Until then, I'm off to find a job and a place to stay.

[And just like that she's gone.]

[OOC: Any halloween stuff will probably have to be after when I have an idea of where she's going to live.]
