There's something strange, a sudden change
Around, all across the sky;
A change of scene as The Machine
Goes wild, and no one knows why

Everyone will say it's a great display
And we brought it for you
Cynthia and Lance set off Nukes From France™
Now you know what to do:

WE'RE KICKING OFF A ROUTE FOURTH WALL
BRING EVERY JOURNAL, ONE AND ALL
HAVE A PARTY, BREAK DOWN ALL THE WALLS
'Cause it's our game's anni-ver-er-sa-ry
And we're, so ha-a-a-ppy!

_{[!!!!!! Ralph pounds against the screen. He is so, so very tiny.]}

KID! GET ME OUTTA HERE!

[thermals]

[For a while Tobias just stands there, growing increasingly worried due to the fact that he seriously can't demorph here.

Then, a thought occurs to him.]

A...actually....could you answer a question for me?

[rarestcandy]

[Yes he is. Were she not so confused, Vanellope would take the moment to gloat about how she was the giant of the two, now. Instead, she just gives the 'gear a feeble shake, almost like she expects Ralph to fall harmlessly through the screen.]

Why'd ya go and get yourself stuck in the first place?

[...Also some silent prayers that he won't go through her picture files. So many ones where she made it look like Ralph was picking his nose while he slept...]

[awesmazings]

...

I guess that means I have nothing to worry about with this last trial then.....right?

[rocketralph]

Wh--HEY! Watch it!

_{[Ralph goes tumbling and clings to one of the wallpaper icons for dear life. He's only got one after all!]}

This isn't pinball! Look, I don't know what happened, one minute I'm mindin' my own business and then zap! This is too freaky for me. A game inside a game...and there are probably games in here. I'm gettin' a headache just thinkin' about it.

[shinobee]

... Lee. [It is unmistakably Rock Lee. And as per the rules go, their eyes have kinda met. They must battle!]

You realise I will not go easy on anyone, even a comrade. [Shino pulls out a pokeball of his own.] Because only then can you call it a true battle of hard work and youth.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[She nods.]

The person behind all of it was a computer AI emulating Junko Enoshima, who was the mastermind of the first murder game. She took control of the system and tried to kill everyone.

[It's probably going to be a long explanation. She glances at the bench.] Uh, do you want to sit or...?

[rarestcandy]

Oops!

[OKAY, no more shaking. In fact, she's heading into a cafe so she can set him down as a table and make herself comfortable in the booth.]

I think last year a thing got sucked into the 'gear. He kept being shot out, though. You don't see any portals that are like This Way to the Outside World, huh? Or like zappy tracks or somethin'?

[rocketralph]

_{[Ralph shakes his head in a very simple, jerky animation.]}

Nothin' like that. Just a bunch of tubes and...cats. A whole lotta cats.

[nolongerafashionista]

[Well there goes that theory. She isn't sure if she's disappointed, but it doesn't really matter much either does it? Following his gaze she watches the birds pass over them, of them only one looked vaguely like anything she was familiar with back home.]

Right, The Ellimist...

[The Who now? Tobias what are you talking about? They haven't met anyone calling themselves "The Ellimist". But the way he said it and acted leads her to believe she wouldn't like them anyway if they do meet it at some point in the future as part of their battle of the Yeerks.]

[rarestcandy]

...Cats.

[Look, the tubes she can kinda understand, but what.]

[awesmazings]

[He nods, shakily moving to sit down. Hopefully they're not screwing up the space-time continuum by doing this or something.]

[niceguypose]

Shino-Kun. [His eyes narrow in a hawk-like manner.] If you had stated anything other than that, I would have lost all respect for you. [Whenever he remembered he existed, that is.]

Please, let us begin! Go... Youthful Fighter Karp-chan! [And he tosses his first pokeball, releasing a Magikarp.]

[thermals]

[Look, he has seen some things. Also, he hasn't yet realized that you may or may not be from the same point he is, oops.

Tobias turns around again, looking down the Route for any strangers who might happen to be standing around. For the moment, it looks like they're totally alone.]

Alright, show yourself. I'm sick of you messing with me, alright? First you trick me when you gave me back my morphing, and now this? I saved those Hork-Bajir, just like you wanted. What else do you want from me?

[Tobias snaps as he turns his attention to the sky again, speaking to nothing.]

Red | Transistor | Anywhere!

[vocalost]

[Maybe dragging around a Honedge like a stick used to mark her path wasn't the most respectful thing to be doing, but habit coupled with the disappointment that it wasn't him make her a little less mindful of that fact than she normally would be. As Red enters each new route and city, Honedge in tow, her head tips to one side, almost like she's listening intently for something.

Which you'll find is exactly what she's doing, and she starts humming not along, really, but a tune that complements the BGM. Oddly, it's these moments of humming that Red seems more quiet, bringing the Honedge closer and smoothing a hand across the feathers of her other companion, a whistling Chatot.]

[saxsongs]

[Ren's happy to see that the Pokémon are happier when seeing their trainer. It's been a bit hard, especially with Chasse, to get them feel like home.

At the comment he shakes his head.]

It's nice to see you too, Miss Farron. [After months, this is how you greet him? Geez.] I ran into some... trouble. It's not that bad.

[saxsongs]

Hey. It's been a while.

[It really has been. It's not like they had seen one another that much before Sasuke disappeared, so yeah.]

[heartofmetal]

Not for me. I'm from the future and I even know how you'll end up being, Envy.

[And that's definitely not in a jar...]

Re: Envy | Fullmetal Alchemist manga/BH | any city!

[nomansbosom]

[Best thing to do when finding a jar with an angry, trapped, green thing? Squat down and tap the glass a few times.]

Hey little dude, you okay? You stuck?

[That's a legitimate question, right? The jar MIGHT be a really badly-placed house for this thing. He's seen weirder.]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Veronica didn't really think about that kind of stuff anyways. Considering she thought Jimmy only had amnesia... eh, it probably wouldn't do anything.

She sat down next to him, Murkrow fluttered to the ground in front of them to watch.]

You guys were supposed to override the system to turn the program off, but she tried to trick you by coming in disguised as Naegi Makoto. Sonia saw through it though.

More people were needed for the override switch, so me and another member of Hinata's group went in to help you.

[soggypastry]

[Yes that is how she greets him. Odin's having more luck as Thundaga lets him nuzzle her--who knows how long they'll have. may as well be niceish--but Chasse...well. He's a heavy bear. Lightning gives him a good shove...though all that does is make him turn, one giant arm still looped around her shoulders. No, he's not letting her go anytime soon! Even if this world rips her away, he's going with her!

Or, you know, going to try.]

What sort of trouble? Did Team Rocket come after you again?

[Ren she knows your track record don't even try and say it's not that bad!]

Ling Yao / Greed | Fullmetal Alchemist | Anywhere, OTA

[greedsking]

1.

[Watch your step because whichever route you may be on, you might step onto a guy who seems to be lifeless at first... but then you can hear his stomach growl. Help a guy out?]

2.

[You may run into a guy who's actually enjoying his life to its fullest and just getting everything he wants... and that's a lot. Gotta catch them all... right?]


(ooc: Replies for #2 will come from kingsgreed even if they can switch in either threads.)

[saxsongs]

[Good luck, Chasse. Good luck.

Ren looks rather sheepish. There's still no fooling Lightning, huh?]

Well... more than that actually. I spent a month as their guest because... well, to put it simply: I'm an idiot.

[Like you didn't know that already.]

[soggypastry]

[No fooling her, and no escaping the flat look that takes over her face. Some things never change, do they?]

What did you do this time? Give someone another tour they didn't approve of?

[No comment on the idiot bit. She knew that one a long time ago.]

[saxsongs]

[Well, she hasn't heard yet that he's evolved from an idiot to a big idiot... at least according to a few of his friends.]

Oh, repeating the same mistakes is not like me.

So hopefully I'll never ever be blackmailed into turning myself in again.

[So he kind of went in without a fight. Haha... ha...]
