Further to my ongoing technical research here, I am asking for some volunteers for testing purposes.

I'm afraid that I can't offer you much information beforehand about this test since that could be detrimental at this phase of the development. Just know that it is completely safe for you to undergo this experimentation and there will be no harm or side-effects.

Let me know here if you are interested and I will send you the location to take part.

[It takes her two months to get around to playing the hologram the Tenth Doctor left for her, and even then, she's bawling and has to play it like 20 times before she can handle it. And that's even with holding Trunks' hand through all of it.]

[She can't wear the dog collar herself, though she debates it. Maybe with a cute Rose tag instead? But it's really not her. And it'd be weird...er for Twelve than it already is.]

I'm late on this, but yanno, if anyone needs this. [Plays the hologram through for them, and sucks on a lollipop, something they might recognize that version of the Doctor did a lot of. Always licking something.]

I um... TARDIS... [Deep breath.] He didn't want her be alone. Or me. So. She'll mostly just be open here at Torchwood, because I can't give up my key. I'm mostly still gonna be in the one at the University, with the Professor, but I'm trying not to just... fall back to where I was when I first lost him, 'cause it's different? Even though it still hurts. [Rubs her temples.] But he'd want me to carry on, all that.

Anyway... still accepting people for Torchwood. Scientists, musicians, cooks... whatever.

[Great, she is more a mess THIS time, than LAST time, blimey. But she lost Mirajane and Sarah Jane too, so that's probably why. And maybe part of her still thought he'd come back. Not that he's fully gone, because he's still here, it's so weird. Don't ask.]

Blimey, this is daft. Let's just talk about something fun instead, all right?

[Even though she takes down the framed mugshot and news article about them on the carousel, and grabs the dog collar, just sealing off the bedroom so it is no more.] I always used music to keep track of what universe and timeline I was in. You'd be amazed what changes, or what sticks, yeah? So everyone tell me your favorite song, okay?

Doctor, I'll be home in a bit, making... [Lasagna, cookies, pizza, spaghetti, it's all out.] I dunno, you pick.

I think my favorite song is Audioslave's Doesn't Remind Me. It was the first one I learned on bass here.

Good morning to those who were not murdered in their sleep by Mr. Mime.

[At this point, Gale was getting pretty sick and tired of hunting for these weird monsters that were around the cities. Sure, he loved the ones he's gotten so far, but he was well content on being done with it. How many do you really need? Plus he had other things on his mind anyway. Maybe that's why he kept dragging himself out, to keep himself occupied from the dozens of questions flooding his mind because of Aymeric's appearance. And now he has two of those master balls so he has to make at least one more trip out. But not today. Today he's at Garden Park looking pretty tired, and he's got a number of food containers with him. Delphox seems to be guarding them, while Gale is sitting next to them with his phone out.]

With the arrival of our... numerous new companions, I took to the library and located resources on food they prefer. [He gestured to the containers next to him and Delphox.] I've spent many an hour cooking a variety. If any would care to bring their companions to Garden Park to try some and pick some up, you're more than welcome. [A pause.] Do remember these are for Pokemon.

[He wasn't sure what else to say, but it almost seemed silly to only make a video just about offering treats to other trainers. He hesitated before shrugging.]

And for what it is worth to some, I am currently in talks for taking the "clubs" that my namesake left behind under my wing. T'is the least I can do for him, I feel.


[Fayren - Lioriley's Cottage (Private to Lioriley and Aymeric)]

[Gale had made several batches of the Pokemon food specifically for Lior, figuring she had quite a number with her between her own catches and Estinien's. And she put up with Estinien for this long, it was the least Gale could do in return. Not that he had any strong attachment to the guy (especially this one, the one from another timeline), but he had to repay Lior's kindness in some manner. Moreso since she played along with Aymeric's prank on the dragoon.

So he would eventually go to Fayren, with Druddigon and Delphox in tow helping him carry the food he made. It was... a lot... but Gale had spent quite some time in the kitchen and cooking. "Quite some time" translated into days, actually, but it's a good pastime and it meant keeping all the Pokemon fed.

Once he got to the cottage, he looked over his shoulder at Druddigon and Arden before adjusting the containers in his own arms so he could knock on the door with the back of his hand. Hopefully she was in, otherwise he'd have to either leave the food here with a note or carry it all back to Nova.]

[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.

[Rapunzel had been out looking for Pokemon and at the same time patroling for any dangers which thankfully so far so good, nothing bad. However, there was something that she had been thinking about. So she had done a little bit of research and soon she was sitting in the Guardians office with her device sitting in front of her.]

Hello from the Guardians office. Remember if there is anything happening in Attleton, please let me know. But this isn't why I am doing this today.

[She gives a small cough, getting herself ready for what she was going to say when a vine peeks out from beneath the table, slowly reaching to grab something. This causes Rapunzel to frown briefly.]

Now Bulb, you can wait until I am finished. It will only take a minute.

[She moved under the table to pick her friend up who seemed happy enough to sit on her lap until then.]

Okay... Back to what I was saying. I was looking through what has been going on in Attleton the past couple years and I noticed that a previous Guardian did something that looked like fun. It was sort of like a competition thing and me wanting to try and bring cities together and also to get people to visit this beautiful city, I thought why not run another?

It would probably be held at the Arena we have here and I figured that maybe we could do it so people can represent the city they love best. I thought it would be fun~ Though since I don't know much about these types of things, I could use some help in finding events for it. I am also going to look back on what was done then too for ideas. So let me know of things you'd want to see.

[SCOWL SCOWL SCOWL, GRUMP GRUMP GRUMP. Don't mind him, that's just his face.]

Does no one listen to the welcome hologram anymore? It's almost impossible to exit the bay without passing by it.

Who: Gwen Stacey and YOU!
What: Gwen is out and about with her Pokemon, exploring Attleton, Genessia City and hanging out in Nova City.
When: All day on the 21st.
Warnings: None for now. Might change at some point.

The first place Gwen heads to after leaving her apartment is a park in Attleton. She has her Pokemon with her, Iroh the Fennekin who is happy to sit by Gwen. She has Lin, her Alolan Geodode, Lin, who is happy to be out of her Pokeball, stretching her arms and floating around. And she has her Tynamo, Miles, floating away in a small pond. This is the one she's reading up on in her Pokedex, a small look of alarm on her face as she looks at Miles.

"My friend, you are not allowed to evolve. Like...ever. You go from adorable little shocker fish, to absolutely terrifying to even more terrifying. So stay cute. Okay?"

Gwen's teasing the Pokemon. Even Iroh can recognize when his trainer is joking, headbutting Gwen on the leg and looking up expectantly. Gwen's backpack is nearby and there are a few twigs sticking out, one of which she pulls out and tosses to her Fennekin. The twig is caught and Iroh runs a short distance away to chew on it.

She could get used to this kinda life, honestly.


Later on, she's grocery shopping in Nova City. And she is very much so shopping like a teenager whose parents instilled a few small healthy eating choices. Mixed in among the junk food and microwave meals are apples and bananas and oranges. But mostly it's junk food. The only Pokemon she has out right now is Iroh, who is happy to trot along beside her, looking up at Gwen when she reaches for anything. The Fenniken is also helping! See? Gwen has accidentally dropped an orange and Iroh has picked it up, making some noise to get Gwen's attention.

"Oh, man. Thanks, Iroh. I didn't even notice."

Someone should probably stuff a few carrots or something in her basket. There is way too much sugar in there. Way too much.

Is that S'mores cereal? Tucked in next to a box of Fruity Pebbles? Yes. Yes, it is.


[ ooc: poke me on plurk at jellybabyoftheneutronflow if you want something else! ]

action; rocky falls near amatsu ( night ) [ closed to dany ]

[ He left her a note at the entrance of her house, trying to pass unnoticed so Valonqar and Hāedar wouldn't give away his presence. Leaving clear instructions, Souji waits for Daenerys near the small waterfall. The night is ideal to fulfill his promise given the weather predictions, he decides to wait for her, but he isn't alone.

A month-year-old light brown, male wolf cub is sleeping next to him over the big wool blanket. He looks so tiny you better watch out not to step on him. Small candles surround them to make it more special, however, by doing special, the young man feels quite nervous and fidgets a little on his spot.

How will this turn out? Is this some kind of 'date' as people here tend to say? ]

action & accidental audio; the next day, leaving the fish market

[ Do you see and hear that? That's one bushi (samurai) whose running away from the market, lifting up a wolf pup with a basket full of fish hanging from his arm. A funny, distressed face is pretty visible from afar. ]

Mibu! You shouldn't have done that! How could you!?

[ And that crowd behind? Those are angry fishermen chasing them. Have a good day. ]

action; fayren beach ( later that night )

[ Despite been a few months, he feels it has been an eternity. Training under the clear night is the only thing that could make him remember he was still a bushi. Without Kamiya begging him to help with her sword skills, without subordinates to teach or even rebels to arrest or kill, Souji feels very limited in putting into practice his abilities. He had a mission and a passion and now the plans have changed drastically.

Without hesitation and without any rest, he swings his katana to all sides, giving firm and secure thrusts, moving his body as if it were a war dance. For the normal eyesight, he turned out to be very fast.

Sensing the presence of someone behind him, his voice is serious and calm. ]

You better be careful. I might hurt you unexpectedly.

[Upon his arrival, Mysterio was in full costume, looking like Thor, Dr Strange and Iron Man rolled into one. Now he appears on the network in regular clothing - a brown sweater and tan trousers - looking elegantly casual.]

Hello again.

I have had some time to to explore and familiarize myself with this world and I'm impressed with the technology here - at least in Nova City. It's far beyond what I've seen before yet it's also lacking. That's why I am going to work for and with Aster Technologies and we can combine our knowledge to do great things.

Now, I know, I introduced myself as Mysterio when I first arrived and that is indeed a name I am known by but let's have a proper introduction now, shall we?

My name is Quentin Beck.

(Action)

Romani seems to be doing remarkably well despite her situation. The very idea that if she acts strong and dependable, Cremia will appear and reward her. It helps her go on.

That, and a Turtwig.

Romani can be found marching down sidewalks like the conductor of a parade, along with a Turtwig matching her steps the best it can. But then she stops and points at a bizarre creature.

"Look there, is that a Pokemon?"

Indeed it is, but does it belong to someone? It looks well behaved.

(Video)

Sometime during the day, Romani comes on the network with a relatively harmless and innocent question.

"Hello! Romani heard stories that when a Princess sings, animals will come out and listen to her. Has anyone tried doing this with Pokemon?"

[ Hey look, it's another teenager! A totally and completely normal teenager that has managed to scrounge up some clothes that aren't just whatever the hell he was wearing under his suit. Looks like a hoodie and some kind of shirt that looks like it might be nerdy? He tried for a nerdy aesthetic, anyway, which is hard when he doesn't even know what nerd culture looks like here. He's seated outside in Nova City somewhere, trying to figure out what to do next.

Anyway. He. Waves awkwardly? ]

Hey, um. I'd ask if people really just introduce themselves online like this without making it like "Welcome to My Star Wars Vlog And/Or Podcast" but I went back and looked at a bunch of posts and I guess that's exactly what it is? Which is cool. But weird? I'm weirded out.

[ Focus, Peter. Maybe breathe a little. He looks incredibly awkward, which is still only 50% of the Awkward Peter Parker Experience. ]

Anyway, I'm Peter Parker! I just got here like. A couple hours ago? And I have one really super important question.

[ Pause. Try not to look too excited. Look incredibly excited. ]

Did I see something about Pokémon? Like, actual physical Pokémon? Is that real or is this some super convincing AR thing? Because I'm down with both but if it's the first kind I am literally going to explode.

Who: Gwen Stacey/Peter Parker, Gwen Stacey/Video for All
When: July 12th
Where: The Bay, Nova City, Exploring everywhere.
What: Spider-Teens invading your peaceful world, sorry folks!

Gwen was on her way home from Miles world. She was going to see her brothers and her father and her New York. Right? That's where she was supposed to be headed. Right back to her world, where she was the one and only Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Woman, she was Gwen Stacey, drummer in The Mary Janes. Daughter of Captain Stacey, sister to Howard and Phillip and Simon.

None of this...literally NONE of it...had anything to do with waking up in a strange pod, with a weird necklace and weird, red money in an envelope. Her knee connects to the inside of the pod, waking with a start before it's even open and as she holds her knee for a moment, eyes closed tight as she hisses slightly, she gets that jolt.

That electricity down the spine feeling of another Spider-Person around. So, ignoring her knee pain and leaving her smart-phone and other fun consolation prizes in the pod for now, she climbs out a bit unsuccessfully. She's beauty and she's grace, she almost fell right on her face. Blame some severe disorientation at the whole situation, okay? She's usually a lot better about this kind of thing.

But that buzz keeps going and Gwen is grateful she's in her Spider-Suit, webshooters fixed firmly to her wrists. Who knows who put them in this situation? Who even knows if this other Spider-type is even remotely friendly? Keeping the mask of her suit firmly in place, hood drawn up, she follows her spider sense to a second pod in the room, one that's just starting to open.

"Oh...kay. This is a little too Aliens for me. Please do not...be that." For an old, old movie, it sure still creeped her out when she thought about it.


[Video - Several Hours Later: OTA (also open for action!)]

[ Gwen wouldn't call herself settled in. Nor would she say she feels too comfortable with this situation. The only reason she delayed so long in even getting this video out is because she was waiting for the return of the Glitches. These horrible moments where, when one is in the wrong universe, every cell in ones body gets Big Mad and tries to return home. Unfortunately, they cannot. Fortunately, there hasn't been a one so Gwen Stacey, just your average teen girl in a black tank top and denim short shorts, blonde hair a bit windswepped and wavy, side shave no older than a couple days or so and jewelry in her right eyebrow catching the sun, has seated herself on a park bench somewhere in Nova City. She has a backpack next to her that's zipped up tight, a journal and pen lying on top. And there's a soda and a bag of chips nearby, both of which she picks at as she talks. It's been a long day. She deserves the snack, okay? ]

Hi, uh...everyone. I'm Gwen. I'm from New York. Loving your city, I'm sure. It's been a real pleasure so far.

[ She doesn't 100% sound like it's been a real pleasure. And she's not smiling too much. It's not a look of resignation entirely? But there's clearly some small part of her brain that has 'F*** this shit, I'm out." playing on repeat in her head.

Listen, I'm just here to try to find a job for now. I'm a trained dancer, been dancing since I was three. I play the drums, and that I've been doing for almost as long as dancing. I'm an artist, I'm super organized. I worked at a coffee shop for a few months back home, so I have experience there.

Really, really leaning towards music and dance for employment, but for now I guess I can't be too picky, huh?

Just let me know if you have anything, okay? I'll come to you for a face-to-face interview. If I'm stuck here, and I'd greatly rather not be, but if I am...I gotta take care of myself somehow, right?

[ And that's the end of her video. She's going to stop recording now, waving slightly beforehand before closing and waiting for replies. ]

[ Really, Gwen? Really? That's how you're gonna be, huh? ]

[A caped man appears on the video. His outfit is bold and bright, all gold and red and lit up from within. He speaks with a sense of urgency as if of an imminent danger.]

I want you all to listen to me. I am Mysterio, one of The Avengers.

There appears to have been a rip in time and space and I have found myself unexpectedly dropped into your world.

But I cannot stay here. I need to go back and save the Earth. This is imperative. Anyone, if you can hear me, show me the way or portal to leave this world. The sooner I can leave, the more lives can be saved.
