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!

Ah - ! [ What do you do with floating people.

What do you - ]

Excuse me, miss, but are you an angel? Or perhaps a demon?

[ this is probably not what you do but this is what she is doing

okay ]

[tentacletrainer]

Neither. I'm a god.

[It may not be what you do with floating people, but Rose will take it with a pleasant smile all the same.]

[puppetnurse]

[This place is magic, that's why.

But why is she so surprised??]

A-ah, I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean to sneak up on you or anything...

[monarchical]

I would ask if you were a god of darkness, but given the emblem on your attire...?

[ SAD TIMES. She could totally dig a god of darkness.

Tanaka-san... ]

[monarchical]

[ No okay Sonia you can do this, surely it's...okay... ]

Er, no, that is...my fault, I should not have reacted so...loudly.

[ But she can't help it... ]

[tentacletrainer]

Quite the opposite. I am a god of light, yes. The Seer of Light to be specific. And you're new, correct?

[Sadly she cannot direct you towards any gods of darkness. Sorry!]

[puppetnurse]

...i-it's okay Sonia-san...

[She is clearly the one at fault, it's really not you Sonia. Clearly.]

...um...like I was saying...please be careful with the ledges...you could seriously injure yourself if you continue trying to climb them!

[beforethedarkness]

[ What the crap happened while he was gone.

Really, Team Rocket wasn't even close to this active when he was there save for Bowser...

But he snaps out of it and looks at him, frowning. ]

You're not there any more at least. You made sure everyone else stayed safe?

[babel_hacker]

Yeeep. This world can bring in all sorts of people from different worlds, even different versions of the same one! It's really interesting once you get started on talking to people!

[Atsuro, chill. Stay focused.]

But what I'm saying is...well, the Lockdown might've happened differently in your world compared to mine.

[alphalemur]

As if on cue, Meelo wipes his nose with his sleeve.

"Yup!" Actually... Where had they gone?

"My sisters're all here! And Aang! He's... a lot smaller than I thought he was." He glanced around suspiciously. Aang is supposed to be several stories tall. They wouldn't have made his statue so huge, otherwise!

[alphatar]

Guh, Meelo. Not that Korra likes to do it, but she flicks her finger in the air and actually boogerbends the rest of Meelo’s snot into the grass.

"Okay, we can find Jinora, Ikki and Aang toge-"

HOLD EVERYTHING. Korra’s upbeat tone put on the brakes and she’s looking at Meelo like he’s a beached shark-squid.

"Aang? Like airbender, Avatar, your grandpa Aang?" Because that didn’t make a lick of sense, and this is Meelo after all. It could have been some kind of mistake.

[rarestcandy]

Be nice to the pixelated grass snake, Ralph. You're in his...arcade, I guess?

[What was life like, for the 'gear game characters...

Probably better than Vanellope's right now. At least Ralph is trapped in a place where she doesn't have to worry about him.]

...It's a picture!

[RIGHT?]

[rocketralph]

_{[Ralph frowns and tugs out one of the photos before turning it around to show the screen. It's very small in his hands but the thumbnail is clear. It's one of Vanellope's deep and thought-provoking 'sleep portraits'.]}

[rarestcandy]

...What, you wanna try tellin' me that's not a picture? It's a masterpiece!

[At least she's smart enough to start looking sheepish...]

[alphalemur]

Meelo caught the boogerbending and giggled, adding an airbending-fueled powersnort to top it off.

"Yup! 'Cept he looks like the statue!" So... twelve? Meelo didn't understand any of it either, Korra. "I... don't really know how he got here." Until it started to dawn on him, just then. That... was weird.

[rocketralph]

_{[The little pixel Ralph breathes out an animated SIGH speech bubble with capitol letters and all. He shoves it back into the file and keeps digging.]}

It's kiiiinda creepy to take pictures of people while they're sleepin'. Just sayin'.

[rarestcandy]

You offerin' to pose like that for me when you're awake?

[Because that would be pretty neat, too. Picking his nose with his eyes open. What a novel idea!]

Anyway, it's just for fun. No sense in complaining about it.

[If he continues his search, he'll find nicer pictures she's taken of him, usually when he's smiling, and lots of pictures of their teams. Since losing all the pictures from her first trip to Johto, Vanellope had made a dedicated effort to using the camera function whenever possible.]

[rocketralph]

HMPH!

_{[Ralph goes back to rooting through her files. Pictures, applications, folders open all across the gear's home screen.]}

My dump was more organized than this! How do you find anything?

[rarestcandy]

It's organized! I've got a system, okay? An' you're gonna screw it up, if you keep knocking everything all over the place!

[If she was still standing, she'd be tapping her foot impatiently on the ground. Instead, she settles for a disapproving shake her head.]

If you're still in there after the coding days are over? You're cleaning all that up. Could be your new home, after all.

[rocketralph]

_{[Ralph shoves an animated gif of a waving Psyduck out of the way to peer out of the clutter.]}

I'd better not be stuck in here!

[rarestcandy]

I'd take good care of you! Draw pictures of food and drag them over to you, let you wrestle with Pixelsnake to keep you strong...

[...She'd probably be a little lonely, always talking to a screen, but she doesn't stop joking. Everything would reset in a few days, she's...sure of it... She's not worried, and that's totally not why her hand phases into pixels and her chin hits the table.]

Ow! Stupid glitch...

[rocketralph]

_{[Ralph rolls his eyes but doesn't hide his worry as well as he would like.]}

Oh, yeah, a steady diet of Smeargle-Paint lollipops. I can't wait for that.

_{[The gear shakes and some of the apps tumble to the 'ground' as Vanellope takes her bump. Ralph climbs down and presses his nose to the screen again.]}

You okay, squirt?

[rarestcandy]

[Hey, she'd eat those for three months if she had to. Can't be that bad...

Vanellope rubs at her face, trying not to grimace too hard.]

Yeah, yeah... Good thing m'not carrying you around anymore, huh?

[For everything being crazy for these periods, it was never quite as fun as it should be.]

[rocketralph]

_{[Once he's satisfied that she's okay he turns and starts sifting through the mess he's made.]}

Yeah, well...like you said, it'll be over soon. Probably.

orz sorry for not responding for so long!!!

[gentlechild]

I am.

[And there's a hint of wariness in his stance as he watches Naruto. Ready for anything...]
