There is no road back to where you came from.

[ joji's eyes were hidden by the tint of his glasses, the otherworldliness of what he was masked. aa a former member of dai-shocker, he knew the shape of worlds and could usually feel the thinness between the worlds and how to breach them, but in this place, that sense was gone. he could still pick up on the powers of others.

the only problem was that there were too many powers. too many variables and he found his senses reeling. there was no rider, but there were others close to one and he still felt uneasy by the sheer purpose this realm gave him.]

They have cut them all off.

sam winchester ; supernatural ; 2

[allgeek]

[ Anyone who knows Sam Winchester will not be surprised to see him... well, where he is, and doing what he's doing. The scruffy brunette is hunching over a table, pen in his fingers, phone clutched a lifeline in his other hand. This is nothing new, he thinks. It's just another hunt. Another freakin' kidnapping. Sam leans back with a short exhale, running his tongue over dry lips. Yeah, this was more or less the norm. He's honestly more upset that he hadn't gotten a good look at whatever creature had bagged him than that they zapped him away in the first place. As far as he's concerned, the abduction could really be something else in disguise; a poisoning, maybe. A fever dream. Something worse or better or in between.

Is it easier to think he's imagining all this as a result of a real attack, or that this transportation to the--what is it, Grimm fairytale world?--is the reality? Hard to say when your life is such a variable mix of the two. Sam glances at the cell in his hand--useless--and then back at the notes he's compiling. There isn't a lot to discern when in a situation as confusing as this, but he has hunter's experience. He jots down little things about what he remembers of his capture and captives, of his current surroundings, of the people he meets.

It's a start, at least. ]

kairi ; kingdom hearts ; 1

[theseventh]

[ Sad to say, Kairi is used to kidnapping. She takes it in stride, determinedly hunting for ways out, not waiting for her best friends to jump onto the scene and whisk her away like the damsel in distress that most believe her to be. No. Though she sits passively at the feast, smiling demurely around at hordes of strangers, she isn't waiting. No more. She's trying to figure out what she can, to make peace with the other captives, to see if any plan can be cooked up to break out. "There are many worlds--" it's still true, though she hasn't heard of this one, not once. ]

Hmm. [ The redhead tucks a rebel strand of hair behind her ear, tilting her head at the spread of food meant for them. It's overwhelming, to say the least. Most of these people seem happy, moreso, even, to have her here, to have the band of misfits that they've somehow scooped up from across the universe. Kairi is a familiar to kidnapping, yes, but also to fighting, to pain, to loss. She knows that however benign this situation seems now, things could go wrong. People could get hurt.

Well, not if she could help it. Her fingers tingle slightly as the Keyblade comes to mind, though she doesn't summon the weapon, not yet. Kairi is the last person to start a needless fight, ready as she is to protect anyone who needs it in this scenario. Friend or stranger, none of them deserve to be prisoner here. ]

[pterosaur]

:Hnn. I've got a little, I suppose. Not that this is normal.:

[She makes a sinuous head-and-neck gesture which serves as a shrug.:

[actually112]

[Korra, you might want to be a little more careful with the fire when you're clearly from the Water Tribe.

Aang immediately notices a person displaying clear firebending skill. He's about to shrink and disappear into the crowd when he notices the dark skin, blue clothes, and distinctive hairstyle.

Of course, his curiosity gets the best of him. He slides close--not so close that he couldn't jump away if it turns out she's Fire Nation-affiliated, but close enough to be able to see that she has blue eyes on top of everything else. If it weren't for the fire, he would assume she was pure Water Tribe.]

You're a firebender?

[And of course, the minute the words leave his mouth, he realizes that they're in the middle of a war back home. A war during which many Fire Nation soldiers have invaded, pillaged, and destroyed the Water Tribes, especially in the South Pole. All the unfortunate implications of there being a firebending Water Tribesman hits him in the face and he flushes.] Uh... sorry, I didn't mean...

[Yeah, no, he's not digging his way out of this hole. And he's still forced to lean on his glider because Azula hit him in the back and that hurts, so he can't skillfully disappear and evade like he usually does.]

[akito]

[ Akito considers the proffered hand for a moment before taking it and getting back to his feet. ]

I'm Akito. And yes! I was also kidnapped by faeries for some reason.

[inconcinnus]

[ Bella gives the woman a look, curious about her wording. She half expected most of the people around to be really having a hard time absorbing the 'fairy tales are real!' part of this whole ordeal, but so far it doesn't seem like it. ]

From what I've read, I think you're right. [ She offers a small smile. ] You sound like you're used to this kind of thing.

[ Bella's just a tiny bit relieved nobody's tried to take a bite out of her yet. She half expects it when she's confronted with previously assumed imagined characters and species come to life. ]

[unclebob]

[He holds up his good right hand to forestall her running off and finding a doctor in this place. Judging from what he's seen, nobody here comes from a future advanced enough to have Terminators in them. They'd probably do more harm than good.]

There is no need. I will self-repair in time.

[unclebob]

I don't. [He pauses and thinks over his automatic response.] A boy I knew called me Bob.

I am-- I was a Terminator. Model 101. [Normally, he'd debate telling too much about the future to someone he didn't know. It could cause all sorts of bad effects. But from what he had seen, Skynet could never gain a foothold in this world. There just wasn't enough technology for them to use, even including the Station he had been hearing about.] I was made in a factory by Skynet. It's the sentient supercomputer from the future I came from.

[torc]

[ Instead of acting on the base instinct to cock her bow immediately, Guinevere quirks an eyebrow, releasing her bow to fold her arms across her chest. She keeps the cup cradled close - her gesture is defensive, it's undeniable - although she recognises that hostility will serve her no better here. From the man's obscure dress and general demeanour she'd say he's not a native of the land ...

A kindred spirit, perhaps. Time will tell. ]

I've survived far worse, I assure you.

[ The corners of Guinevere's mouth quirk up into a wry smile. It's elusive, just guarded enough, and her smirk gives away even less, but then she cocks her head just a little with ease of confidence. ]

You won't join in the festivities yourself?

[ Festivities. Yeah, forgive her for being sceptical. ]

[unclebob]

[The Terminator turns his half-ruined face when he hears a younger-sounding voice. She looks quite young to be on her own. What can he say, he's got a soft spot for kids. It's practically programmed right into him.]

No. I do not smoke.

[There's some adult human habits that he knows children tend to pick up faster than other. John could curse like a sailor when he wanted to. But smoking was a habit he hadn't realized started so early.]

[unclebob]

[The Terminator is in the Station for a very specific reason. He's searching for anything that can be used for spare parts. He's got a lot of wear and tear on him, and frankly, he's getting tired of the obvious stares people are giving him. Not that he can blame them. Having half your face torn off is an extreme look.

The fairies are completely unhelpful, as usual. The gossip of "a giant golem" seems to have reached even here. Turning away in frustration, he limps away from the counter. Maybe one of the humans (or human-like creatures, anyway) will be more helpful.

He reaches out and grabs Bella by the arm in an unnaturally strong grip. Well, no one ever said his people skills were at an all-time high.]

Excuse me. May I ask you a question?

[tiaraaction]

[Relief washes over her almost instantaneously. Hotaru is a very welcome sight in a crowd full of strangers. She visibly relaxes, shoulders slumping her mouth stretching into a pleased smile. Placing a hand over Hotaru's, she shakes her head. ]

Sorry, sorry Hotaru. It's just totally overwhelming, I got distracted trying to take it in.

[She scratches her cheek, sheepish. ] I'm glad you're here! I was so sure I was here alone, for a moment. Is - is Chibi-Usa with you?

[piratic]

[ there's many ways this could go, hook finding emma there instead of yet another stranger, coming face to face with the fact that they'd said their goodbyes and he'd been far more than certain he'd never see her again. let alone with recognition in her eyes.

but this isn't the time for that, and he somehow doubts she'd appreciate him making time for it right now either. so have him pause, surprised, and then offer her a very familiar, charming to the core smirk. ]

Of course not, love. Who better to question everything going on here than you? [ she's always got the paranoia thing going for her, something they can all use in this situation. ]

I must admit, I am a little surprised they managed to capture you along with the rest of us, Swan.

[unclebob]

[There's a slight hiss from his bad knee as the Terminator approaches the table. He's still in need of repairs, even with the patch-job the man called Joji had done on him earlier. What he needs most of all are some tools. The fairies have been decidedly unhelpful and he's given up trying to get any straight answers out of them.

He decides to approach the young man when he sees him clutching the phone. At least he knows this one must be familiar with some form of twentieth-century technology. He tries his best not to look threatening, though it's counter-minded by his very design. He asks his question in an accent which sounds Austrian.]

Do you know where I could find a power drill?

[tiaraaction]

[She looks up from the screen with wide, awed eyes and blinks. After a long moment, she realizes just how weird she probably looked. Looks now, even. She glances back down at the screen and then falls down in to the seat and let's out a big sigh. ]

They're way more advanced than the computers back home. It's like a sci-fi movie.

[tiaraaction]

I think so. I mean, they sort of look the same but they're no way as clunky! You don't have them where you're from?

:')

[rustic]

[ there's a quick glance to the injured knee, and then another few moments of consideration before david relaxes. sort of, anyway. he's still in a strange castle in front of what appears to be a robot, so maintaining some caution is just common sense. ]

Repairs aren't really my specialty, unfortunately. [ he's not totally useless, but there's no point in pretending he's got any idea where to start with something like this. still— ] Is there anything I can do to help?

[piratic]

Aye, I suppose there's truth to that. Promises of treasure and such do have a way of changing a man.

[ kinda goes hand in hand with the pirate thing he knows a little about. but despite that, despite whatever it is they're telling them, hooks steps forward with something close to a shake of his head. ]

Swayed one too many times, I'm afraid. Leaves room for plenty of doubt in a situation like this.

[lamentum]

[ it's the best for everyone. the world isn't ready for roofied stiles, especially if it turns out that all these fairies and trolls actually want to have them for desert. ]

They did, in a sack. [ does lydia like it? no, she's understandably pissed off about it. ]

Fenris | DA2

[restandbegrateful]

[ Fenris, already soundly drunk, neatly nicked the glass of champagne out of Will's hand and threw back its contents, downing them neatly.

He thrust the empty glass back into Will's hand.

You got a bit of icing. On your face. [ Made a vague motion in the general area of the offending sweet. ]

[icy]

With terrible balance, more than anything.

[ Quipping his answer, he takes the cake from her and rolls it back onto the table, out of the way. ]

JUMPS ON (also sorry for my fanart icons!! )

[toolbelt]

[ Leo has spent the past two hours trying to disassemble and reassemble the locket they gave him. Obviously the stupid thing has to have some kind of technologic background to it, considering it's been showing video all day, and magic just can't replicate that kind of HD quality, okay?

Dropping a son of Hephaestus in the middle of...fairy world is putting Leo ridiculously far out of his comfort zone, to say the least.

When the text appears, Leo basically makes a yelling noise out loud and scrambles closer to the locket, dropping his tools to respond as fast as he can. (The yelling noise is helpfully dictated as AHHHHH. ]

What? No I didn't want that, you stupid thi
Whatever. Jason! Mannn, I am so glad you're here
It's Leo!

[piratic]

[ and yet another familiar face. the attempt at bravery is almost endearing, and hook wonders how much it might falter if he were to step closer. ]

Another fine moment where the the good fall for the tricks, then.

[ he knows his allegiance has shifted and changed a lot recently, but shaking off who he'd been before, what he'd done-- none of it is particularly easy, and even less so in a place like this. ]

Tell me, just who all are from the Enchanted Forest here?

[ murder might be in the past, especially with the dark one's death, but he'd like to know if there are any others to keep an eye out for. ]

[ofloveandbeauty]

Usagi!

[As soon as the other girl is within reach, Minako doesn't hesitate to wrap her arms around Usagi. Usagi is more than her princess, she's her best friend. They have been through everything together and though Minako would like nothing better than to make sure Usagi is safe with everyone, there is a part of her which is glad she's here.

Even more importantly, Minako is glad Usagi isn't here alone.]
