[Have a young human woman sitting in the shade near one of the beaches in Fayren. There's a quiet smile as she looks out over the water and she speaks, voice soft and pensive.]

Of all the cities attached to Genessia, Fayren is the closest to my homeworld. Yes, the technology of Nova City is closer to what I'm used to, but the nature here is far more peaceful.

[She turns her gaze to the comm, resting her chin on a cupped palm.]

What worlds has everyone else here been to? Would you be willing to talk to me about them?


[She taps a button after that and makes the next part private to one Anakin Skywalker.]

I've been thinking. We haven't spent enough time together here. So I put together a lunch for us.

[She grins slightly and she teases him.] I found a nice spot far enough from the beaches, you won't need to worry about sand getting everywhere.

[Anakin is quick on his feet, striding from the docks as if he does this everyday. He can't allow himself to be weak or confused; he has to keep his feet firmly planted and then, in private, panic later.]

This is one hell of a welcome. [He scowls darkly and there are shadows around his eyes as if he has spent many nights not sleeping.] I'm not anyone's prisoner. If you think you can hold me, you are sorely mistaken.

[The flash of his lightsaber can be seen - his one remedy for the horror that is bearing down on him.]

[Vaggie's number gets a ping with this post. Itherael looks tense, keeping a firm hold on the Scroll of Fate. The camera picks up most of their body and wings - their device is floating a little ways before them.]

Greetings. I come with a message of truce.

[In other words, please don't hang up immediately like Papyrus warned you might.]

I am the archangel Itherael. Our mutual acquaintance, Papyrus, made mention of you, and vice versa. It is my understanding that you reacted to this with apprehension. I did as well.

Though there may be differences between our realms, it seems that neither of us have had good relation with the each other's races in the past. The angels and demons of my world have been at war for millennia. However, when I arrived here, it was made clear that grievances are to be set aside for the betterment of Genessia. This is the intention of my message: to arrange for us to meet and put into words an agreement of peace and non-aggression. We will swear not to act against the other, so long as there are no actions or schemes that would break the agreement.

...This is not easy for me. I imagine it will not be for you either. Papyrus has volunteered for us to use his home as a neutral ground, with his supervision. He will be serving a food called "spaghetti", though I do not eat, myself.

I hope to hear from you to make the necessary arrangements. It would be very, as Papyrus would say, "cool" of you. Oh, and for both of us, might I enquire as to your name?

[The emphasis on "hope" is a little subconscious; it's the main thing fueling them here. Itherael nods.] Farewell.

[Action]

[Some may see Jenny running through the streets of Genessia city for a moment before she suddenly slows down to a walk. It's obvious something happened as their's blood staining her clothes, and a cut on her hand that looks like it had been made by a knife and is currently bleeding. There's a dark bruise around her neck that almost looks like handprints from someone strangling her, and Jenny looks....upset to say the least. Whatever has happened, it obviously wasn't good.]


[Video/Private to Eleven]

[The video clicks on to Jenny's face, and she looks....upset about something, almost scared in her own way, but the most noticeable thing in the video is the dark bruise around her neck. She could try to hide it but....she sees no point since he's bound to see it once she walks into the TARDIS anyway.]

Dad....I've done something I shouldn't have. I need help. I'm worried I might do something worse if I don't ask for it. I'm sorry.....I'm also sorry for anything else I might have done this week or....how I might have been acting. Something...hasn't been right.

Hey, QT are you there?

[a pause]

QT, if you're hearing this, teleport us back up would ya?

[another pause, tapping of feet for a few seconds and then]

Listen, you ungrateful bucket-of-bolts, I can easily replace you! So hurry up and get me back on the ship goddammit! [whining] I'm sick of this place, there's no BooBies here and my career is going no where! I can't live without BooBies! Or recognition!

[okay so the teleporter is a bit slow (if he's in that timeline at least, he can't remember), but he feels it's been plenty of time now]

FINE! SEE IF I CARE! Good luck taking care of that mangy cat without me! Stupid trashcan.

NETWORK (anon text)

These eggs seem to be the cause of numerous strange occurrences and it appears to be widespread. Those who have the ability to remember or who have observed changes in others should record these events so that we can try to understand them.

In other words, what have you seen or experienced firsthand?

- Fulcrum

ACTION (open)

[Throughout Genessia, Ahsoka can be found investigating various areas. While she doesn’t believe she’s in any immediate danger, she wants to be as prepared as possible.

She wanders into coffee shops, lingers in parks, and makes her way through crowded sidewalks. Although (or perhaps because) she’s wearing a large cloak that hides her montrals, she still stands out quite a bit. She’s well aware of that, but without an established network of information or any contacts there’s not much else she can do.]

ACTION (closed to Skywalker household)

[Ahsoka had waited until she was back in her room to enjoy her chocolate. Which meant her older self ended up in an unfamiliar room with a phone, some eggs, and her lightsabers. After a quick search of the room, she looks to the phone. From her room, various network posts can be heard as she replays them, mostly those of her younger self or of Anakin.

Trying to make sense of what she’s seeing, she decides the best way to figure this out is to actually find out where she is. As she exits her room, her hands hover over her lightsabers and her stance remains cautious as she walks through the apartment.]

[Now waking up and feeling forgetfully groggy was not something odd for this newcomer to Genessia, although hearing other pod folks was. Odd that is, so Japheth had stayed quiet and inside his pod until he was sure people weren't in the bay.

And then he had to wait until it wasn't quite so sunny out to leave the bay. Which was super annoying, and then he perused the provided information he found on himself and at the welcome hologram-tourist information booth before using his fancy new phone.

So the network is going to get to hear a man's voice, who's accent is kind of hard to place, ask an important question.]

Can any of you uh... "Genessia" people? [Wait, that sounds bad. Changing his word choice.] I mean, hello? I'm new, and just wondering what can someone who is... Nocturnal do around here?

... And where I could get myself a cheap sun umbrella? [Because he doesn't want to have to hide inside shit when he has to do stuff during the day.]

[Action - Genessia City]:

[Conner blinks, eyes moving from the pamphlet ... to the announcement, and back again as the girl in white -- Weiss explains the situation. All the details from both sources line up, and Kon just sighs, dragging a hand down his face.]

Great.

[Yoinked into another dimension, no clear way of getting home, no real explanation of how he ended up here ... just the certainty that he was probably gonna be here a while.

[Looks like it's one of those days.]

[Video]

[Video feed snaps open to reveal a young man. He's good-looking in that all-American, captain-of-the-football-team kinda way - square jaw, broad shoulders that imply a muscular frame, eyes verging on too blue. He'll be unfamiliar to anyone who happens to look in, but he doesn't look as ... harried, as you might expect a new arrival to look, considering the situation he's suddenly found himself in.]

Hey, Genessia.

[Lil wave for the camera.]

Sooo ... you can probably guess I'm kinda new around here. I'm Superboy--

[Wait. Alternate dimension. Comic books have existed in the other universes he's visited so that might not sound too weird, but it probably sounds conceited as all hell to introduce yourself that way if people aren't used to capes.]

Kon. Kon works too. [Whoops.] Sorry, I kinda do the whole superhero thing back home, so starting with the codename is just reflex at this point.

[He pauses for a second, sucking in air through his teeth before:]

Gonna be honest here, I have no idea what else to say. Like, none.

[Because despite the fact that hopping across the multiverse is something he's done, this particular shindig is uncharted territory.]

I figure anyone from home who's here is probably gonna see this, but on the off-chance they don't, if any of you guys know anyone from Young Justice, the Teen Titans, the JLA ... send 'em my way if you don't mind. That'd be awesome.

Any y'know, any word on figuring out how to get home'd be pretty sweet.

[ Action; Genessia City; ]

[ Hera feels, for lack of a better term, detached from everything that's going on around her. It's not really her fault, given all she's been through lately. It might be for the best, though, because at least she's not panicking. No, in general she's feeling mostly numb. So she seemingly takes her arrival, and the infodump provided, in stride, and before she knows it, she's wandering the streets of this strange city that seems to be nowhere near Lothal or any other place she's familiar with in the galaxy.

She's stuck. Grounded. And people are staring at her like - like she's some kind of freak. Have none of them ever seen a Twi'lek before? ]

What are you looking at?

[ Her voice isn't defensive, it's mostly - dull. But there's an underlying hardness, as well. A certain amount of suspicion, like she doesn't trust anyone here.

Eventually, she finds her way to a series of shops and small cafes, and when she gets a whiff of something - baking bread or a pastry of some sort - she makes a nauseated face and turns away from the smell, her brow furrowing a little. There must be somewhere to sit down, right? Maybe she just needs to sit down. ]



[ Text; ]

I need the services of a medical doctor familiar with non-human biology. I'll come to you.

- H. Syndulla



[ ooc note: please see my ooc intro and Hera's permissions post for more info and opt-out stuff if necessary. ]

[The camera flips on to a face of what looks to be a bedouin with his eyes ringed in coal and the way he's covered from head to toe. As he looks at the device, he removes the cloth covering his face, and behind it is the scarred face of someone who couldn't be any older then twenty-one, but despite the scars, his features haven't lost any appeal. It's almost unnaturally handsome with strong features to it. The only thing that gives away that this man isn't from the desert is his bright blue eyes which aren't common in that part of the world.]

It seems my dress is no longer appropriate for this climate. You'll have to all forgive me while I adjust. It's been a long time since I was last in a city, and this one seems to hold quite a few differences from the ones I'm familiar with.

[At least from his reaction, he saw the hologram.]

I wish I could say this was the first I've been sent to another realm, however it's not, though this place seems far more pleasant then the other realms I've been in previously. Still, I suspect there is likely a catch as there always seems to be at least one in such places. I would appreciate anyone that would be kind enough to fill me in.

[His speech has been almost formal as if it had been drilled into him so hard that he didn't even notice it himself.]

[ Pokémon have taken over everything, indeed. And this video is no exception. Have a small group of them all sitting side by side.

There's a very cheerful Charmander blinking right up at the screen. Next to it sits a Noibat, also looking up but seeming a little confused, its head tilted and those huge ears tipping to the side a little. he next one is Litten, making it a point to not look directly at the camera. Slugma by its side curiously waits and the Ducklett next to Slugma already seems impatient enough.

Now what else there is, are those little makeshift-lightsaber toys each of these Pokémon holds in one way or another. They all do so quite dutifully, even if they don't know what to do with this item.

The camera remains on the Pokémon as Anakin's voice can be heard off-screen. ]

I feel like I've assembled a miniature version of the Jedi High Council. I even got Master Yoda and Master Windu here.

[ The camera settles on Noibat and Litten for a moment, then shifts over to Ducklett and Slugma, with the latter now trying to eat the toy weapon. ]

You guys can be Master Nu and Master Mundi. And then there's--

[ The camera jerks away and around abruptly, settling to show a sideways-view of Anakin's Charmander, now happily waving the toy saber around. ]

Okay. Where's that other one? It had been here a moment ago- Oh. Oh no. No, you didn't, you little-!!

[ The image shakes and moves and after a few moments of blurry action must have ended up with one of the Pokémon, because now Anakin is on the screen, cursing and shaking his right arm and more or less stomping around in circles. ]

Get out! Get out now!!

[ The Jedi gives his arm another strong shake and out of seemingly nowhere one more Pokémon appears, spinning around itself with a gleeful chuckle. There's further chuckling from the Pokémon now behind the still recording camera while Anakin scowls at Rotom. But just as he's about to scold it, the video ends. ]

[the video flicks on, a little shaky at first as if someone is quickly adjusting it-- then a young girl runs back in order to fit in frame]

Okay! I'm going to make this one start right! This isn't my first other world after all. I'm practically a sage at it!

[she clears her throat]

My name is Yuuki Miaka! Future Jonan Academy student! I am fifteen years old, a Taurus, bloodtype B! Nice to meet you!

But I thought that weird red light was going to take me home. Has everyone here been to that weird country? Also I'm looking for my friend Yui. She's wearing the same uniform as me but she has blonde hair and blue eyes. If anyone's seen her, please let me know. [she's thinking of asking about Tamahome, too. But then again he was a jerk who was probably going to leave her so who cared?

...well she did a little.

She was distracted from her thoughts by a loud gurgling sound]

Ahh I'm hungry! There's got to be somewhere to eat around here! I could eat a whole buffet!

[and she wanders off a bit before running back and fetching her camera. She's okay. Really. Just a bit hungry]

[As the video begins there is a woman sitting so that the camera captures her shoulders and face but does not reveal much else about her or her surroundings. For just a moment she takes a moment to compose herself before she begins to speak in a calm and almost regal or political tone.]

Hello,

I am Satine Kryze, Dutchess of the planet Mandalore. A few hours ago I awoke and myself a visitor to this planet and city. As such, I would like to extend my thanks to the ones who prepared the welcome that I received and the information that was included therein. As well as to my savior, without whom I would not be speaking with you now.

I understand that there is not a clear way to leave and return home, but I was wondering if perhaps there is a way to send a message. I ask that if there are any here that are familiar with the Galactic Senate, or the Council of Neutral Systems, that we have a chance to speak. At the very least there is one individual that I would like to have the opportunity to relay a message to, as our parting was. . . less than ideal. I fear what may become of them.

To the rest of you, I thank you for your hospitality and help. And I know that it may be less than ideal, but from what I have seen and heard in the few hours that I have been here, this place seems to be full of a number of wondrous things. As such I know there is much for me to learn about the customs and traditions here, but I look forward to having the chance to work with you all to ensure we can all look forward to a bright future.

Thank you for your time.

Action

[Woah. This wasn't what she had expected to happen, obviously. Not that anyone ever meant to end up here, but the part that kind of irritated her to a small degree was that however she ended up here they'd managed to grab her during a simple team practice, still clad in uniform that would probably only be familiar to anyone from her world. To anyone else it's probably just some sort of flight suit, nothing particularly interesting.

After having taken in what information she could from the hologram and the pamphlets, she's immediately launching herself into the air of Genessia City, perching on the top of a low building to peer over the edge and get a better look at the area.]

What are these two-legged creatures? [That was more to herself than anything else, but if Spitfire isn't anything, it's subtle. Or quiet, for that matter. So that was much louder than intended.]

Video

[It's only after a couple of hours that she manages to figure out how to get the device to work properly for someone with hooves. Her face is in the camera way too close before she's fumbling it around to set it up nearby so she can be seen properly and not right in the camera.]

I've got one question and one question only: where's a pony gotta go to find a bite to eat around here?

Okay, no, two questions. Is there anything restricting the airspace in this place I should know about before deciding to travel that way? I don't want to accidentally run into someone or something that I'm not suppose to. Not used to having to ask that question, huh...

[There's nothing more charming than cute and cuddly creatures, right? Including very cute dinosaurs with bright blue scales and rainbow frills. That's how Augustine feels after being rewarded with a "Pokémon" the other day.

So cue in this odd scene of this red clad gentleman feeding deliciously plump strawberries to this small, dinosaur-like Pokémon with a pink-tipped frills upon it head. The little creature has the brightest and purest blue eyes he ever seen. They shine just as brightly like the amethyst jewel upon its side. It's seated upon the desk of his surprisingly ornate lodgings upon a throw scarlet pillow Augustine given it.

The pokemon looks utterly pleased with itself as it devours the strawberry Augustine offers it in one hasty gulp. This little critter is living the frickin' life. Augustine is going to spoil it rotten.]

I have no idea what it is but I'm keeping it. [He sighs happily as he keeps feeding his new companion.] Her name is "Odette".

[Guess who loves and appreciates all things cute.]

video, or action for Attleton

[ Cassian can be seen standing in the garden behind their house, frowning at his device. ]

So it turns out the tickets were for pokemon and Attleton is crowded with wild ones again. But my question is actually not pokemon-specific.

[ He turns the camera around to show an animal which looks distinctly like a goat, just the mane of green leaves around its neck and running down its spine betrays that it's a Skiddo pokemon and not an unfamiliar goat breed. ]

This one has invited itself to our garden and won't leave. I guess we're stuck with it for however long this lasts. Does anybody know how to milk goats?

[The camera is set up to show Garrus in his hardly-ever seen apartment, looking at his new Slowpoke sitting next to him, a glazed look on its face as it just stares ahead blankly, completely unaware of everything going on around him.

”Oh, he don’t look like much, but don’t let his name fool you. This here is one of the best we have to offer! You get a slowpoke, you’ll be the envy of the town.”]

Hey.

[He stares at for a full two minutes before the Slowpoke blinks slowly and turns his head one inch at a time to look at him.]

“Sloooooooooow.”

[He stares at it a moment longer before looking into the camera like he’s on The Office. He opens his mouth to say something before closing it and hanging his head. This is is life now.]

[This is technically Ahsoka's first video on the network, but those who have interacted with her before may recognize her voice as Ashla's. And those who know her... obviously know her. In her arms is Gulpin, who she's holding similarly to a certain Huttlet.]

So, these guys are cute. I think we can all agree on that, right? But I'm sure many of you have run into a very serious problem... Just what are you gonna name your new little friend? It's gotta be perfectly suited to them, maybe have nickname potential, who knows. 

And I'm here to let you know that you don't have to worry about that anymore! I'm officially offering my nickname services to everyone. I'd say I'm pretty good at this too, whether it's droids, people, or... you know.

[Suddenly, she remembers there's something else she should mention. She's put this off for a while because it's kinda awkward, so she's just gonna get it over with quickly]

Oh, and I'm Ahsoka. I may have sorta introduced myself as Ashla on here a while back, but that's not important right now! 

[Ahsoka shoves Gulpin up close to the camera]

I mean, look at this little guy! Clearly more important! And his name's Stinky, by the way!

( Rough Starts )


Video -- The Next Morning

(The video feed cuts on to show a relatively lanky man, long of face and in need of a haircut and a shave, sitting at a table in what much be one of the Commonspace apartments, with his hands in front of him, steepled, atop the table. He looked tired, grumpy, and all around annoyed.)

Good morning. (He doesn't sound like it's very good.) My name is Harry Dresden, and I showed up last night. Apparently there's nerve gas or something in the hologram that deploys when it shorts out. That's not cool.

(He yawns.)

It also calls the cops. That's a nice welcome to the neighborhood. "Hey, we just kidnapped you, and this is crazy, but here's the police! Do some jail time maybe?"

(He rubs his face with one hand.)

Is there anywhere in this place to get a Coca Cola? (He says it very clearly and slowly, as though making sure everyone hears the proper way it's pronounced.) Anybody know what that is?
