The Omniverse...
An Amalgamation of concepts that stemmed from mankind.
Possibilities and different outcomes dictated by the mind
Many Ideas turned into worlds; many worlds then bear inhabitants
Unaware of the truth behind their existence who hides behind the mask of 'Gods'

However, these ideas are all colliding; the boundaries between Reality and Fiction breaking
Mashing and Mixing together into one.
All fades into black
All ends alone.

The lone tower which lies in the center of it all finally opens it's imaginary gates,
and as the void consumes the exterior, so too, shall seal their fates
All that's left, and all those that are left,
are bound together in what feels like an eternity of dread.

Those survivors, whether willingly or not, now embark on a lifelong quest.
To find the truth, to fix it all, to Return Home...
Those Goals only have one path laid in front of them;

  • O Stars, we crave your guidance now!
    We grow more and more mad within,
    The more we explore, the less hope grows
    Ad Nauseum, we walk beyond Madness' brink

    The destruction of all worlds. Some remember it to be sudden, others remember it to be slow and unforgiving. You saw it with your own eyes; the sky tore itself open, tearing down reality itself as everything touched by its auroral light faded into nothing. Again and again, reality tore itself. Consuming everything until it eventually consumes you.

    Nothing was safe, engulfed in a wave of colors.

    Waking up, you find yourself being greeted by mossy green walls, marble Floors decked in checker pattern, faint yet noticeable signs of bloodshed visible by puddles of dried blood. Yet, on the palm of one of them, particularly a child with white hair and a hint of radish green, there was a little, squishy object that feels like skin and reeks of blood.

    Prison Realm​

    Some kind of box with eyes. The pupils absent mindedly glance around, as if scanning the area for something to stare at. They kinda look like the eyes of an Abstracted–if Jax ever saw one. Putting the box aside for now, the pair now has three paths to trek if they even want to move; north, south, or westward. The path northward appears to have strange roots growing out of the floor and the walls. Might be something worth investigating rather than wandering aimlessly.

    Once lost shall they realize too late.

    Nothing was safe, engulfed in a wave of colors.

    Yet, like waking from a nightmare, you can feel the warmth of the sun shining down your face. Though as you open your eyes, you find yourself in an unfamiliar landscape. Your immediate vision is blocked by the shade of strange trees. Trees whose leaves come in a variety of colors.Branches were those of glass. It's like what Newton showed with light refracting into colors through leaves.

    Rousing from your slumber, you find that along with the bizarre forest of glass like trees and colored leaves, you find yourself in certain clearings with several strangers. . .

      Ruby Rose
      Interaction: @NyxieRina (Poco)​

      Laying on a bed of roses, a young woman draped in a red cloak groaned as she sat up. Her red hood furled over her face as she glanced around, confused. Ruby rubbed her eyes, trying to adjust to the sudden increase in brightness. It was the middle of the night last time she recalled, and now, the little red riding hood finds herself in an unfamiliar forest, atop a bed of flowers of the same color. There was but one thought on her mind:

      'Where am I?'

      She wondered this as she glanced around, finding that the woman in red wasn't alone in this endeavor. A crowd of 10 or more seemed to lay there, unconscious for who knows how long. Most of them were human. All but one. As she got up to observe the other people, she found an outlier among the bystanders she saw in this clearing with her; a skeleton in a tuxedo and a sombrero. Was it a beast? A monster from her world? It certainly didn't look like it. Though as she approached the creature, she found it awfully…Cute. Like a plush mascot of a local carnival.

      Interaction: OPEN​

      For the first time in her life, Aijo had seen a threat coming at her so quickly. Yet in the same vein, it was the first time she couldn't do anything about it but marvel in awe as the colors washed over her vision just as quickly. She was at her studio at the time, overseeing the recording of yet another pop idol's song under her own production. Perks of being a producer, one might say. However, her recording has been cut short by the sudden wave of light. When she came to, the black clad woman got a slight glimpse of the multicolored forest she had found herself in. Granted, blindness does not mean total darkness. It's the inability to see clearly at all; and in her eyes, everything's too bright. She could hear the rustling of the leaves pronounced by the breeze brushing past her and those around her.

      Around her?

      It took her a while to get her bearings, but the sound of the breeze had triggered her senses and allowed her to visualize her surroundings. Now making it clear that she's not alone in this forested clearing. Most of them are human, one of them's some kind of sheep, and the other's a rat. Hearing that there were animals in their midst made her shiver a little, raising her hand off the ground as if quickly realizing there could be droppings.

      --{[Intergalactic Prodigy]}--
      Interaction: @Crow @LuckycoolHawk9

      The last thing Ben remembered is everything going wrong. The Annihilarrgh had been set off, and there's only one Alien he knows of that could potentially do it; if she could convince herself to do it. Though knowing her track record, Ben would've gone against it, but what other choice did he have? The last thing he saw before everything went black was the visage of Alien X standing there, unmoving and uncaring as he normally knew her to be. What he thought was the end of everything, turned out to be the beginning of a grander adventure for Ben Tennyson. As he woke up in what appears to be some sort of stone ruins overgrown with strange fauna. Trees of glass bearing leaves of various shades of colors. Prismatic, in a literal sense.

      Getting up, the young man found himself in his usual black polo shirt and magenta slacks, but now with the addition of a white coat and a corsage on his right pocket. On his left hand was his walking cane, Avalon. The Omnitrix; symbol of the Galvan Genius, remains glowing bright pink. It means that everything's intact here. Including the white and pink Omnitrix on his wrist, flashing between pink and green. The latter meaning recalibration; from Ben's experience, at least.

      There appears to be many people that are brought along with him. Most of them are as humanoid as they come, from all ages and time periods, no less. He's seeing children, pirates, and intergalactic bounty hunters, probably. It takes a lot to surprise Ben, but to see a lot of them knocked out and brought unknowingly like this is pretty surprising. Not to mention the ones at his feet.

      "Huh…?" Ben's eyes widened in a soft gasp as he saw familiar faces. Faces so familiar, they might as well be his own. Two of them, in fact. From the hair, the way they dressed, and even the curious watches on their left wrists. "Are those…Me?" He asked with a gulp, taking a step back and plunging the bottom of his Avalon on the ground for support. Briefly shuddering, his expression soon shifts from bewilderment to slight admiration. "At least we got the same style." He chuckled a bit, spotting that both of them have an Omnitrix of their own. Prominently green ones, unlike his Pink. It's fine though. Green's a nice color, too. "And what do we have here...?" He crouched in front of the one with the black shirt, comparing his omnitrix with his own. They're eerily identical. Save for the green one's sharper, hourglass shaped face cover in contrast to his Chaquetrix's softer, more flower like face cover. In fact, it's more reminiscent of the Galvanic Emblem.

      Hayato Ichimonji
      Mention: @Gotham Knight Todd

      After being freed from SHOCKER's control, Ichimonji Hayato was collecting his thoughts by riding around in his shiny new motorbike, The Cyclone, when he was suddenly knocked out in a flash of light. There was no sign to avoid, no sound to listen for, just straight up a flash of light.

      Yet, as suddenly as he is knocked out, Hayato is awakened just as suddenly, letting out a gasp as he sat up in alarm. Looking around on what he can tell to be the middle of a field of gem-like wheat under the shade of a glass tree, he discovered that his ride's not with him. His beloved motorcycle gone missing.

      "Tsk…Aw man…" The man visibly groaned, clad in what seems to be an armored bodysuit, a red scarf and a trench coat. "I liked that bike..." He sighed, picking up the dark green bug-eyed helmet with a silver stripe in between the lenses as he got up, scratching his already messy brunette hair. It doesn't seem like he's alone on this farm. 10 more participants are just waking up with him. A lot of them seem human, but then you get the pink puffball and the oversized penguin. "What is this, some kinda circus…?" He pondered to himself, wondering why such a large crowd had gathered here. Call it a hunch, but Hayato feels as though these people aren't normal. Augments sent by SHOCKER, perhaps?

      No. They look too…Peaceful. Too human. Too robotic. Too…Out there, even for SHOCKER's outlandish standards. There were rumors that one of their augments can detach his head from his body as a bat mutant thing, but that guy died before Hayato was even augmented, so he never found out who or what it was. Freaky. The only one he could consider an Augment would be the man in the red mask. He looks like another Batta Aug, except without a Typhoon nor any features that distinguishes the Batta Aug from any other.

      'Better watch out for that one', Hayato thought, as he dusted himself. There seems to be two laid out paths he can take; one going north, and the other going west. Not wanting to incur anyone's wrath, the journalist began making his way to the northern path, tucking his helmet under his arm as he attempted to sneak off of the still waking pact. Though the crunching made by the leaves were already too obvious.

Northwest>> Magic Forest

Prologue:

Leonidas blinked as soon as he was tossed aside by Apollo like some rag doll making his fight practically useless unless wait… he could beat him. Just had to move to the right -

The soldier pulled himself up and as quickly as the crowd of Spartans cheered for Leonidas, he disappeared in a flash… The world was gone… Something else was in play here… This wasn't the gods or humans doing.


—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Magic Forest:

Leonidas fell into a magical forest, frowning, pulling the cigar out of his mouth.

"Wait, where the hell am I? What happened to the tournament grounds?! My MEN!

He growled, looking around at the area around him.

His eyes moved to a red-cloaked stranger "Huh? Who .. are you?"

Seems like he was the first one up for now.

He guessed she wasn't a Spartan, to say the least of it.

Magic Forest>>Southwest

Prologue:



I waited to touch what was seemingly my freedom from Hell going to Purgatory. But that was not to be as the world, my world ended in a flash. No Rapture, no flash but being dragged into another area or realm where I had no idea where I'd go or where to. "BEATRICE!"



Magic Forest



I landed in this grassy forest much like the beginning of my home journey. Deja Vu was a funny thing sometimes, right?



I had Beatrice's cross and Death's scythe still in my possession. That was at least good news.



"Where…where am I?" The Crusader stepped toward the pink suited man.



"Who are you?!"



Dante looked over at his cross.

Jack Sparrow

Jack Sparrow with all his luck and grit was passed out drunk when his very world ended. Perhaps that was the reason he survived or mayhap a more insidious reason. Nevertheless he was passed out drunk.

"Yo ho ho, a pirates life for me!" he grumbled under his breathe. Then he jolted awake! "I'm up! I'm up!?"

Jack Sparrow would look around, confused.

"Oh bloody hell! Where in blazes am I now?!"

He would peer around the floor, "I appear to be a pickle!"

Supergirl

It's not the first time her world and home ended! Kara Zor-El was familiar with losing all her people and being powerless to stop it. What she wasn't familiar with was being superpowered and unable to stop it! But no one was able to stop it. When the great void shallowed her world, she knew then that it would be the end. But just as quickly as the world ended that it just stopped. Or rather she Ended up somewhere else. Someplace else. She was a Superhero, she was overly familiar with stuff like this. So it didn't take too long to adjust to her sudden displacement. The question still remained: where WAS she?!

She was suddenly aware of several individuals around her. She went to one of them at random and asked, "does anyone know where we are?!"

  • El Mariachi - Poco
    Interaction: @ThePotatoGod (Ruby)

    Sprawled on the forest floor was a bright yellow skeleton wearing a black mariachi costume. His left hand was clutched around a bright pink guitar, which had similar decorations to the one painted on his skull.

    Suddenly, the black pits of his eye holes lit up with twin pinpricks of white. The lights moved as if simulating a blinking motion before the Skeleton slowly sat up.

    "What happened?" Poco asked nobody in particular as he fixed his sombrero. "Did something happen to the respawn generator?" The last thing he remembered was being in a Gem Grab match with his fellow entertainers against the Stunts family before a bright light suddenly consumed the arena. It was an unusual occurrence, but he had no reason to worry that anything was wrong. Nothing bad ever happened in Starr Park.

    Until he did have a reason to worry.

    Instead of seeing his fellow Brawlers and some staff in the usual arena waiting room, he was in a forest with strange people he'd never seen before. They weren't dressed like the usual staff members of the Park. maybe they were new Brawlers? But the administration never introduced 10 new characters at once!

    He turned to see a girl with a red cloak approaching him. Perhaps he can ask his questions there? "Hola, Señorita." He greeted. "Do you know where we are? I seem to be a bit... lost."

  • Champion Ranked Trainer - Flora Escarlata
    Interaction: OPEN

    Some distance away from where the Ben's were, a young girl in an orange uniform stirred. She stilled for only a second, before flinging herself up with the panic of a student who missed their alarm.

    This was Flora Escarlata. She was a Champion-ranked trainer in both her home region of Paldea and acting Champion in the BB League of Blueberry Academy. But that wasn't important right now. What was important was the state of her friends.

    The last thing she remembered was meeting up with the 'Zero Team' (her friends in Naranja Academy) before going to Kitakami on her friend Kieran's request. She was just deciding who her team would be when Penny screamed. She and her friends looked up to see the sky break open, like the Time Machine in the Zero Lab and the world crumble around them. In the chaos, she and her friends got separated running from the cataclysm, with her clinging to Meatball's scales as they ran for their lives.

    And now she was here.

    Where was here? Was this, the distant past, like where the Paradox Pokemon came from?

    Where were her friends?

    There were other humans here, she could see that clearly, but no one was wearing anything she recognized. Not a single uniform nor Pokeball among them.

    Wait- her Pokemon!

    She quickly glanced at her belt and sighed a huge sigh of relief. All seven Pokeballs were there and filled. At least she wasn't completely alone.

    Flora grabbed the Pokeball closest to her side, a dinged-up Pokeball with a scratched-on 'S' on it. Meatball's Pokeball.

    She sent out the Koraidon without a word, waiting with bated breath to see the state of her friend.

    Meatball looked a little shaken but otherwise fine. He visibly lit up seeing his trainer and he went to lick her face. "Rhagi!"

    Flora just wrapped her arms around Meatball, clinging to the last thing she saw before that terrifying event. She was tankful that at least he was fine.

    It was a touching scene, but one that they couldn't stay in forever. Someone should try and talk to her first, assuming they arent afraid of the scarlet dragon beside her.

  • The Self Made King = King Dedede
    Interaction: @LuckycoolHawk9 (Kirby)

    A big blue penguin wearing expensive red robes lay flat on his face. He stirred, slowly lifting his head and putting a gloved hand to it. "Ugh. Boy, that was a headache if I ever had one... What even hap-"

    He stared in shock at the weird menagerie of people in front of him. Considering he came from such a multi-species planet like Popstar, that sure was saying something. But who were these people? Where was here anyways? Why was he laying in a forrest?

    It took him a moment to remember exactly what happened prior.

    "Auugghhh..." King Dedede groaned as he realized his predicament. "I hate extradimensional stuff." He flopped his head back to the ground.

    Yeah, that seemed like the most plausible explanation to him. Sky breaks open in weird colors, things start getting sucked in, and now they're in a place they don't remember being in again. This was like the Forgotten Land all over again!

    Ironic, since the last thing he remembered was preparing a picnic for the Star Allies that was to be held in the Forgotten Land.

    ... Maybe he was getting too blase about this.

    ... Nah, he was just fine.

    With that denial in mind, King Dedede sat himself upright and proper. He was a King. While he didn't mind being goofy, he had an image to show after all!

    As he did, he noticed something REALLY important, and something that would make this thing WAY better than the mess that was the Forgotten Land.

    "Kirby!" He quickly made his way to his little friend. Despite the circumstances, he couldn't help but smile as he tried to help the little bugger up. He'd spent months the last time something like this happened looking for the little demon, knowing his sheer power would be enough to help get them outta this mess.

    Not that he was just gonna sit by and let things happen!

    "Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey!" He sang, poking the little guy to jostle him awake.

 
A time before the end...
As the end came, nobody would be prepared to fight against it. Nobody could've. A flash that neither darkness could've predicted, nor the light had ever experienced. It was an unprecedented tale that caught all unaware.

And yet, neither force of will nor bravery feared it. Neither backed down, but instead tried their best.
One sought to survive what ended everything, while the other sought to undo the end.
To none's success.

One cannot flee the end of the world.
One cannot save a story burnt at both ends.
And so, both fail.​

The air, the earth, and even the water blue
The nature we ascend to feels ever so true
Yet, one unnatural element surfaces.
This land's terror one must face.

A magical fantasy, or a terrifying fate?
Once lost shall they realize too late.

Kamiyama Touma
The Brave Swordsman

It is the calm of the world that awakens the novelist. The sudden change from the world's end to what feels so calm...it's unsettling.
He gets to his feet as he looks at the others, trying to find familiar faces. But let alone finding a friend, those around him are all strange.

Some at least were human, even if his instincts said something was off. But what can he say about the puffball and penguin?
Regardless, the novelist can't just stay quiet. Not now without any clue of what's happened so far.

So, he gives a cautious smile with raised hands. "I don't presume any of you know what's going on and about that light disintegrating things, right?" Supergirl's panic proceeds to lean that assumption as true, but he keeps hope regardless.

Ken Kendraki
Local Dog

The child would stand to his feet swifter than the others with a bristled tail, and immediately surveys his surroundings, glancing and skipping over most of the others...before pausing on Kirby for a solid second of confusion.

Despite...or rather because of the large group of people, Ken is on his feet immediately as he silently begins making his way Westward. (He licks a tree and visibly dampens when it turns out to be just glass)
 
The Hand of Death Awakens
"Funny. Too much to drink, too little to die."

As the man woke, he looked around him: There were trees as far as the eye can see, the bright sun resided in the sky, still watching over all things, and an interesting variety of life laid there with him.

"I've seen weirder."


He got up from where he was, and checked his person.
Cain still slept in his pockets, and yes, Cain still had his food.
"All is well, buddy."

Now, he was deep in thought.
Was he still drunk? Or did his feet somehow take him elsewhere while the rest of him was still passed out?
Well... He 's had his fair share of liquor over the years, and none of them ended in his vision whitening, much less him waking up in such a peaceful place... but there were perhaps worse places to find oneself in.

While the rest were still fast asleep it seemed, another was making his way to the north, attempting to make no sound as he did so.
It was an impressive attempt for what appeared to be an idiot, but it was fooling nobody.

He decided to follow behind the man and see where this leads.

{Slide=Josuke}
It was a day much like any other. That mess with the rock humans and Wonder of You was finally over. His goal of protecting Holly Joestar was met. Just as he wanted it to be. He had even started to build a relationship with her, as well Kyomi Kujo, the mother of Josefumi Kujo, one of the two men that had created Josuke Hagishikata. The other being Holly's son, Yoshikage Kira. Admittedly, despite having a combination of their looks and Josefumi's old stand Soft & Wet being his, he still did not feel like he was either man. He was his own person, and a Hagishikata, even if only by adoption. And well, the Hagishikatas needed all the family members they could get. Several had recently died during the fight against Wonder of You after all. Trying to attack the stand user directly and receiving a fatal calamity instead. Yikes.

College was going smoothly, so he supposed. He was not sure why, but medicine had been what drew him into the study. Perhaps some parts of Holly somehow existed in him despite him not being a legitimate person or descendant of hers so to speak. He shook his head, trying to clear it. Dwelling on this would never do. He had to focus on the here and now. It was time to live life in the moment, and make plans for his future. It mattered not who he used to be, but who he was now. And he had a lot of things to do, get through college, plan for afterwards, build his future with Saburo. They had both wanted that for quite sometime. Even before the entire mess with the Rock Humans actually became known. Though he was unsure if it was healthy or not, he did not care.

"So Saburo, how am I doing with this whole date thing?" Josuke asked casually as the two walked through Morioh's summer festivities. "Sadly I can't really count the battles we fought side by side as a date. That just is not a healthy thing to do after all. I figured the first attempt could be here at the summer festivities." Sure, maybe Josefumi had taken Saburo on great dates, but he was not Josefumi. He really was not, he did not understand what was going on for his own part of it, he was nervous even trying to figure out this entire dating thing. He took a deep breath. He wanted this to be perfect. Just to show Saburo he cared.

Of course, he never could figure out just if any part of the old people existed in him. As far as he could tell, it only went looks and stand deep. Not anything more than that. He just knew that there was some sort of special way people actually acted and did things on dates. He didn't even have hazy memories from the two who created him. He really did not. He sure did not know who he was yet, despite having started to develop his own personality and ideals. That much was for sure.

"Sorry, I know this is not-what is with all the screaming?" Josuke looked around, people were running, screaming, crying, pleading, and yet no obvious signs of attack, stand or otherwise. At least not until he looked to the sky. His eye bulged as he saw the colors that were shooting down from the sky descending on them. This was the absolute last thing he wanted to see. Somehow a calamity was occurring somehow, despite having them seemingly killed both Toru and the Wonder of You. How? He had no clue. Maybe they had somehow survived, but wouldn't it have taken longer to recover from multiple hits with Go Beyond? What even was this damn thing!?!

"I thought we killed Toru and Wonder of You!?!" Josuke shouted as he moved his body to try and protect Saburo from the fast approaching colors of the heavens above. This calamity, it made no sense for it to happen.

"Hold onto me tight!?!" Josuke shouted to Saburo as the colors began to engulf them.

Josuke let out a shriek of agaonizing pain. He squirmed and whimpered as he tried to resist the power of the colors around him. He felt blinded, and it was like something was screaming in his ears. He was gasping and squirming, panting hard as this was going to suck for him. He was panting and squirming, trying desperately to escape, trying to get to Saburo, trying to make the world not spin so much. He felt like he was completely and totally lost.

He slowly lost even more consciousness as blackness took over his eyes and his body went limp. He wondered if this was the sweet release of death after the agonizing torture of whatever the calamity was. That is all he could really tell. He was breathing very gently gasping as the world finally faded.

The next thing he knew, he was waking to a pleasant breeze. The sounds of leaves rustling had his eyes open slowly. They had survived the calamity? And what happened to the carnival, and all the scared people? He had no clue to this sort of thing. He stood up and looked around. This wasn't Morioh, it was a forest of some sort. What an odd place to wake up in after the attack. He wondered what he could do to try and get home….wait? Where was Saburo. He looked around desperate to see where his boyfriend was. What the hell was happening? How had this happened? Had they been seperated? Had Saburo even survived? He looked around hoping to find a way to find to either Saburo or Morioh to continue his search. After that, he could try to find the rest of the Hagishikata household, and Yasuho. Then they could figure out how Toru and Wonder of You survived and launch an operation to kill them once and for all.

He looked down beside him. His eyes widened when he saw Saburo right there. "Saburo!!!!" He bent down and picked the still unconscious male up and looked desperately around for help. He saw a young woman and ran in her direction.

"I am sorry to ask, but can you please help me!?! I have no clue where I am, and I think my boyfriend might be hurt!" He pleaded.

{Slide=Jason and Richie}
Jason smirked as he walked down the streets of Gotham. Duffle bag swung over his right shoulder, his young son's hand gently squeezing his left hand, with his husband and loyal servant Kyle on the boy's right side. Keeping little Richie right between them. He had to admit, he was not sure marrying Kyle and raising the son of people who broke his rules of no drug selling to kids was a good idea, but it felt good to be the man in that way. A perfectly obedient husband doing just as he bid, and a child that for the most heart was well behaved and loved his "mommy" and daddy. He probably should have asked Kyle if Richie calling him mommy was okay, but he liked the look of embarrassment that was on Kyle's face, and encouraged Richie to keep doing it while using his eyes to refuse Kyle any say in the manner. Yet Kyle seemed to love both Jason and Richie despite this. Good. It meant he had even more control.

Of course, Richie would not notice anything bad. The boy was too happy to have his parents' undivided attention and to be out walking with them. The family dog, a Great Dane Ironically named Tiny was leading them a little. The boy was enjoying the day they had out. Just them and him, like he wanted.
He knew his parents were busy so they took turns watching him, but he wanted both mommy and daddy home and with him. He was a bit selfish in that way, but he wanted time with them. And he didn't hesitate to make it known, sometimes even throwing a tantrum, though that seldom ever worked to keep the leaving parent home unfortunately. He usually just wound up ignored and then on time out. At least if he broke something during the tantrum he got a time out.

Of course, Jason kept an eye on the people around them. He did not want to be caught off guard. By either an unwelcome visitor, he it a bat fury or some sort of homophone that did not like the fact he and his husband where the ones raising little Richie. He looked up tot he sky when he noticed something quite odd was happening. There had been some odd shadows and colors around them on the sidewalk as the trio walked through the city and that had somehow grabbed his attention. The colors descending, it was not anti matter, what the hell was it?

"Richie, Kyle! Get behind me!" He shouted as he pulled the boy and man closer to him, letting out a sharp whistle to get Tiny to them as the colors continued to spin down on them. He bent down as he glared at the approaching colors. "It's going to be okay. I'll protect you all. I promise." He whispered trying to be comforting to the boy and dog more so than Kyle. He knew Kyle could protect himself, especially now that he had the ruthlessness that had to exist to keep people alive in this world, thanks to Jason and his training of course.

"No! No it's coming!" Richie screamed and tried to pull away from his parents to run the way the rest of the people were around them as they panicked and tried to escape whatever it was that was washing over their world. The boy was clearly terrified. Of course, it seemed neither of his parents were letting him go during this. No matter how much he screamed and cried and tried to pull away and run for his life away from the scary evil sky colors.

That is when they were engulfed by the lights. Tiny seemed to vanish, but Jason had no time to call for the dog to try and ensure it was okay so his husband and son would not be too panicked. The pain started immediately. He grabbed Richie's hand even tighter as he felt the pain rolling through him, he swore the three screams blended as one, and he could not see where Richie or Kyle were. He just heard them screaming and pulled Richie closer. He didn't feel any resistance, had Kyle released? Not good, he wanted them as close as possible.

It seemed Richie's screaming stopped not long after, and the colors were slowly fading to black in Jason's eyes. He no longer screamed or had any pain. He half expected just to be woken up by a warm wetness in the safe house and have had that all be a nightmare. But, no such luck. Instead he was awakened by crying and a small little force shaking his body with determination. He at least hoped this would be still in the safe house. But from the sounds and pleas in his son's voice, he doubted that was the case.

"Daddy! Daddy! I can't find mommy or Tiny! And I can't tell where we are! Wake up daddy!" The boy pleaded as Jason groaned and slowly sat up, quickly getting into his dupplepack, he got Richie his Teddy bear and sippy cup.

"Here Richie, let these calm you down, sip." He gently instructed the boy as he guided the cup to his lips and had the boy sip a few times before he held the cup and bear close to him. "Just hold Oswald close." Jason instructed the boy as he picked him up. "We'll find mommy and Tiny. You have my word." Somehow, he doubted the dog had made it here with them, but that should calm Richie down for now. "Now stay quiet, Daddy has a job to do in finding your mommy." He turned to see a man heading somewhat to the North, safety in numbers there. He hurried over to the man.

"Wait! Please I need some help. It seems my son and I have been seperated from my husband. Could we travel with you and maybe ask your help finding him?"

  • On the garden outside of the manor, Shujinko, Retsujo and Yuri Yaoi sat around the table having tea prepared by the servant. During this time, Retsujo started rambling. "I'm telling you; that Ricky Sparks guy is really my type. I mean, the face, the hair and even his chiseled body got me so rizzed up, you know? If only I could be with him instead of that bitch ass Laury Laundry. Ooooh if only you could have let me strangled her." She said. Shujinko took a sip of his tea and he seemed to not care about his sister's rambling.

    "Let him go, Retsujo. If he wishes to be with someone, let him be." He said. "But he was manipulated by that arrogant bitch! She bribed him into being her boyfriend so that she could get all the attention she wants. I can't stand those type of people." Retsujo spoke. "M'lady, I'd say you do what your brother said." Yuri Yaoi said "There are a lot of men in the world that can make you happy. Money could only end in disaster, I tell you."

    "Oh whatever, I guess I'll have to do things my way then." Retsujo said as she took a sip of her tea. "Well, don't be too rash about it. You know that you're prone to trouble." Shujinko replied. "I know, I know, that's why dad had to assign you the responsibility to look after me. Seriously, I can take care of myself. I don't mind Yuri protecting me, but you? Of all the people in the world...." Retsujo responded as she and the others took their sip of their tea.

    And then everything went white.

  • The servant woke up in a daze under the shade of a tree. They looked around their surroundings to see that they're in the forest. "Where am I?" They asked as they stood up and dusted off their clothes. "M'lord? M'lady? Where are you?" They tried to call them out, but there was no response. Yuri Yaoi has grown worried.

    "Oh Lord, please have mercy on them wherever they are. I do hope they're okay." They prayed before taking note of the people around them, mostly human but there is one that is not. "For now, I'll have to serve them until I get back to my masters. Lord, please protect them." They thought as they wait for them to wake up.

  • The sunlight shone on the faces of the Kanou siblings as they awaken from their slumber. "Where are we?" Retsujo asked. "Well, first of all, can you get off of me?" Shujinko asked. Retsujo was confused at first before she looked down and noticed that she was laying on top of him. "Oh shit!" She yelled, clearly embarrassed as she hastily got off of him. After they both get up and dusted off their clothes, they looked around and notice that they're in a forest along with other people with a few of them being animals and non-humans.

    "Say, Shujinko..." Retsujo said "I don't know about you but, do you feel some sort of, I don't know, deja vu?" Shujinko looked around his surroundings before he turned to Retsujo and said "Sort of. I don't know where w are or how did we ended up here, but one thing for sure; it feels like we know of this place, just not like this." Retsujo turned to the other people and said "Looks like Yuri's not here. I'm sure they're doing fine, but I can't help but worry about them."

    "We'll eventually find them. For now, we should stick together and find out how to get out of here. Retsujo, let's wait for the others to-" Unfortunately for Shujinko, Retsujo couldn't wait as she went over to one of the people still unconscious; a red-and-white-skinned demon. "Oi! Wake up!" Retsujo yelled as she proceeded to, without warning, kick the unconscious devil in the nutsack. "RETSUJO! WHAT THE HELL?!" Shujinko furiously yelled.

Magical Forest >> Northeast
Burt Vaughn
"The White Devil"


The mink slowly regained consciousness, his senses adjusting to the surreal surroundings. As he opened his eyes, the vibrant hues of the glass-like leaves danced in the air, casting a kaleidoscope of colors over the unfamiliar landscape.

The air carried an otherworldly scent, a mix of enchanting fragrances that seemed to defy the laws of nature. Burt blinked, taking in the bizarre forest that surrounded him. The branches of the glass trees sparkled with a peculiar radiance, refracting the sunlight into a mesmerizing array of colors.

Sitting up, he felt a strange energy coursing through his veins, as if the very essence of this magical land had permeated his being. As his gaze wandered, he noticed several other individuals emerging from their slumber in the clearings nearby. Each of them seemed equally disoriented, their expressions a mix of confusion and awe.

The strangers varied in appearance, representing different races and beings from the countless worlds that once existed. Burt could sense a shared bewilderment in their eyes, a silent acknowledgment of the inexplicable journey they had all embarked upon.

A sense of duty resurfaced within Burt. Memories of his alchemist creator and the pursuit of truth flooded his mind. With a firm resolve, he rose to his feet, his athletic limbs adapting effortlessly to the strange terrain beneath him.

Amidst the subtle sounds of the Magical Forest, Burt's attention was drawn to a sudden commotion. The voices of what seemed like siblings, engaged in their own dynamic banter, reached his keen ears. Turning with a curious expression, Burt observed the siblings with a quiet fascination.

The clash of the male's composed demeanor against the female's impulsive energy seemed to create a mini-drama within the larger narrative of the group. His gaze lingered for a moment, the subtle curve of his lips hinting at a faint smile as he recognized the unique dynamics unfolding among the survivors.

As the girl approached and kicked the red and white skinned demon, Burt decided to approach the boy. "Sibling issues eh," he remarked upon appearing at the boy's side. "Oh forgive my manners, the name is Burt. You two made quite an entrance there so can't help but notice you both. Anyway, you seem to know what's going on. I believe I heard that you're expecting to be joined with others?," he probed, his voice sporting a calm, yet curious tone.

Jaune arc, The Rusted Knight
(Magical Forest>>>Northwest)

-------------
Jaune groans as he wakes up "Ugh, What...What time is it....?" Jaune gets up to his feet and looks around and sees the strange forest is surrounded by glass-like trees with leaves of various colors. The air felt different, and while everything looked different but still felt familiar. As Jaune observed his surroundings, he noticed other individuals in the clearings "More people... In the Ever-After? No...It's a dream....It has to be...Right?" Jaune rubs the rust off his Crocea Mors to no avail as it long since rusted ages ago and barely fits him nowadays "This is just a dream. A trick from that damn cat... and I should wake up now..." but he continues to walk through the clearing, drawing closer to the strangers "Yet...why do I feel this is real? Is it because I want it to be real so badly?" He asks himself as he slowly draws ever so closer to these strangers, his heart racing with the slightest glimmer of hope.

The former Spartan king instinctively lifted the cigar and let some of the ash fall to the ground.

"Now, who are you two anyway? Any idea where we landed? "

Leonidas, the former Spartan King raised an eyebrow as he looked in between the smaller girl and what seemed like a more armored man from a different time.

Well, wasn't this a fine mess to find himself in. Caught in a forest which looked to appear straight from a land that appeared unnative to Teyvant, surrounded by others who seemed quite the oddballs, to say the least. From the Knight in Rusted Armor to the young girl adorned in a witches outfit.

This was an utterly unprecedented turn of events for the Eleventh, and yet why did he get the strangest feeling of nostalgia in such a foreign place? Especially while looking at the young girl clad in red, and the man covered with clearly outdated armor and tools.

Well, interactions were well on the way now, with the man with an imposing bulk and a shield that somehow appeared more ancient than the ones Hilichurls started to bark out his confusion. He might as well gain some control of the situation- even if he was constantly seeking a good fight, even he had some restraint.

"I doubt any of us are going to know that answer, seeing the general confusion among us." Gesturing to the group in total, he continued speaking towards them all. "Alongside our completely different attire. As of now, we have no idea on our location. The best course of action would be to split into groups of three to four and travel through- unless you all would rather sit and pray to an Archon for a solution?"

Hah, it looked like all those public speaking classes Pucinella had practically forced him into doing were finally paying off for a purpose other then inspiring new Fatui recruits.​

Malenia

Location: The Magical Forest – Northwest Quadrant.
Interactions: @ThePotatoGod, @SorryTM, @Foxes81_of_Anime, @NyxieRina, @Topless, @Kirie98, @dark, @Sun_Lord, @Crow.


A blinding flash. Light that burned more insidiously than even the Rot, and on a far deeper level too. These were the very last things Malenia would ever experience (or so she thought), and it gnawed at her to no end, even in her unconscious state. No one else had been present with her in Elphael when the end of all things had finally come. Her knights had been tending to their patrols, leaving her to linger for a time within the hidden grove in which she and Freomund had first consummated their love, and her brother busy dealing with a minor blood feud between two noble families down in Limgrave that was slowly yet surely threatening to tear the region apart. Her daughter, meanwhile, had been outright obsessed with beautifying the newest cities to emerge across the width and breadth of Caelid's wild expanse, when she wasn't delving into whatever abandoned ruins she could find anyway (or attempting to make entry into the Eternal Cities in search of ancient treasures). As for her consort, he had departed Leyndell several weeks prior to uphold his yearly meeting with Miriel. Her son, too, had also been at a great remove, though it was his absence in light of the end that pained her the most. He was due to return from his voyage to the Land of Reeds by summer's end, and now, so far as she knew anyway, he never would.

She wished she'd had more time. Wished she could see them all again. Wished she could have held her son, witnessed her daughter smile, and kissed her lover one last time before her entire life was so cruelly and coldly taken from her…

The Empyrean let loose a gasp as she jolted back to consciousness.

So, she hadn't died after all. Funny. She certainly felt as cold as a corpse right now, and not just emotionally. Indeed, her whole body felt as though it had been assailed by the most insidious frost. It was strange, honestly, given the altogether pleasant location she appeared to be in. A forest of some kind, with trees and warmth and sunshine for as far as the eye could see. Not that she could see anywhere other than straight up at the moment, but still. Steadying her breathing, she waited patiently for feeling to return and, after a minute or two, found that she could move again. Sitting upright, the Blade of Miquella quickly found that she was not alone. In fact, there was a rather eclectic smattering of people sprawled out around her. Some were as insensate as she had been, while others were fully awake and had already started to mill about or check in on their fellows. All of them, however, bore absolutely no resemblance to any group she had ever seen in the Lands Between. At least not where attire and, in some cases, weaponry were concerned.

Still, they didn't seem hostile. If anything they looked just as confused about this whole situation as she was.

Reasoning that one of them might be able to tell her more about what was going on, and seeing no better course of action, Malenia carefully got to her feet – slotting her blade into its socket such that the false edge rested against her arm with the point angled upwards, high above her head. Reaching down to retrieve her helm, she paused as the topaz embedded within her wedding ring flashed the sunlight. The slightest pang of guilt surged through her heart, but she shoved it down. Buried it. Shameful as it made her feel, and as much as she might have wanted to take a moment to grieve and process, there were far more important things that demanded her undivided attention right now.

Placing her helm atop her head as she rose to her full, towering height, she approached the group.

"If this Archon of yours is anything like the gods I know," she began, coming up behind Childe like some specter of death. "Then I would sooner slit its throat instead."

There was an awkward pause as the vehemence in her words was slowly drained away by the oncoming silence.

"That aside, I agree," she continued, crossing her arms over her chest. "We'll cover far more ground that way. Although…"

She cast a glance back at those that had yet to awake.

"We should probably wait until everyone else has come to, that way no one is left behind."

    "Woah, it can talk…" The girl in red gasped as she heard the skull plush's voice, crouching a bit to look at it eye to eye as it–or rather, he asked if she knew where they were. "Nope. This definitely doesn't look like anywhere I know." She shook her head as she glanced about some more, her hood unfurling to reveal more of her face; youthful, rounded features with silver eyes, short black hair with red highlights. "I was actually going to ask if you did, but I guess not." She scratched her cheek a little, letting out a nervous giggle. It was around this time that more and more people began to wake up; most of them appeared to be experienced Huntsmen from the looks of their equipment. One of them appeared to have neglected maintenance due to constant battle–at least, that's how it seemed due to the rust.

    The man with the red scarf and red hair appears to take charge of the situation, the former asking for people to group up in teams of 3 and 4, while the latter suggested waiting for the others to wake up. The point they're making is all the same, however–no one truly knows where they are. That's concerning. Especially for Ruby's family since, as far as they know, she was just out visiting her mother. Taking out her Scroll–a rather thin, futuristic looking cellphone, she would attempt to make a call to her family but…

    "No signal…I guess we're somewhere remote." Ruby mutters to herself, pocketing her Scroll onto her skirt pocket. "Well…Since we're gonna be stuck with each other for a while, uh..." She lets out a nervous sigh and turns to the others, "I'm Ruby. Ruby Rose." and promptly introduces herself in a concise manner. Still not used to having to deal with people, but it's something necessary.

    Wincing a little at the sudden noise, she saw a silhouette of a man in what appears to be a sailor's outfit approached her and pleaded to help him and his friend. The silhouette appears to be colored gold in her eyes; hearing a familiar pitch that certain people can comprehend.

    "I'm not sure where I am either, but can you bring me to your friend?" Aijo asked the desperate man, "I need to see how badly he's hurt." She says, though she doesn't know much about first aid, Aijo can tell how hurt someone is thanks to her unique talents.

    "Huh... You don't know who I am?" Ben practically perked up hearing that. Then again, there were certain parts of the galaxy where Ben's name probably isn't as widespread. That's to be expected with fame, I guess. "I'm THE Ben Tennyson." He introduces himself with a hand on his hip. "Though if you're wondering where we are–you're asking the wrong guy."

    Interaction: @Gotham Knight Todd (Jason Todd) @Woop (Kamiyama Touma) @Mr_Meekins (The Hand of Death)

    "Hmm…I dunno. Can you?" Hayato audibly hummed as he turned around to face the man who approached him. Surprisingly, that pleading voice belonged to the Augment looking man he wanted to avoid confrontation in the first place. Taking a good look at him, it's obvious that he's not with SHOCKER. Otherwise, he would've been tackled right then and there. No, just by hearing the way he spoke, Hayato knew for a fact that he's soft and kind–like the first Batta Aug–Hongo. "I'm not exactly someone who likes traveling with a pack. Especially not with those I can't trust with my life." He placed his free hand on his hip, eyeing the man that approached him. He seems battle ready, but Hayato could hear how much he hesitates. But then again, such hesitation could probably be a trick. He did see a child staring at them; particularly, at the man in the red mask.

    Soon, he picked up on a particularly interesting query; something about a light that disintegrated things. Which, funnily enough, matches the description of what he saw before he got knocked out of his Cyclone. Maybe there's some merit in sticking with the crowd, but…

    "Look, you're free to follow me all you want. I don't exactly care. Just don't expect me to be some knight in shining armor. 'kay? See ya." Hayato turned around and waved at the Red Hood before proceeding northward, putting on the helmet he's tucked under his arm just for convenience.

    Exploration

    The paths were walled up by either crystal-like crops of wheat, or glass trunks of trees that grew too close to one another to even attempt to thread on. The combination of which creates a sort of hedge maze hallway sort of feel.


    • If the Todds or anyone else were going to follow Hayato northward, then the pair would come across a corner, where the path shifts westbound. Hayato could be seen peeking around the corner as if to check for any hostile threats himself. However, after a brief pause, there was nothing, and the man in the biker suit would continue onwards. Hayato doesn't like how the air of this place feels. It's too intense, in spite of its glittery appearance. It's almost like it's taunting him in a way.

    • The lost hound continues westbound, only to find himself with another choice to make. Continue west, or turn 90 degrees and head north. The breeze brushes past Ken's ears. They feel a little dusty.

    "Cut that out. You're not an actual cat. Well, I guess you kinda are now, but still..."

    She looked around to see unfamiliar faces.

    "We have little time to mingle with them. We should leave. They are likely but adventurers finding their way."

    The cat pulled at her cloak.

    "... fine, I suppose I shall mingle with them. But if they're the Church's little roaches... well..."

  • Josuke sighed as he looked down at the sleeping young man. He was clearly injured, unlike Josuke. Josuke had made it out of that with very little injuries in terms of how badly hurt he was. But Saburo, he seemed to be a bit worse off than he was. Maybe Saburo had tried to run and been seriously hurt. Probably by other people who had been fleeing and desperately trying to escape the coming end of the world there. Or at least that is what it seemed, and wherever it was he and Saburo had been dropped, definitely didn't even feel like earth. The wind was wrong, and there was this constant feeling of being watched by someone…no…something.

    Josuke hesitated for a few seconds, but slowly he leaned down and placed Saburo on the ground in front of her. He hoped the other would awaken soon and that these injuries were nowhere near as serious as they looked from the outside. It was the only thing that might bring him even some comfort as they moved forward.

    "I apologize for my ride behavior before. I am just worried about him. I love him, and how we got here definitely is not something that would bring us here injury free. How is he looking?" Something told him that he could trust this person, for some reason. Perhaps it was just the benevolent energy that came off her. Perhaps it was the fact he sensed she was likely a stand user. This was far from ideal but it seemed maybe they had found an ally already. Good.

  • Jason sighed and rolled his eyes when the man said that. Of course this is how he was going to be. Such a brat. Someone that made him think of his former mentor. In more ways than one and in this case definitely not anything positive. The broody loner type that thought he was better than everyone. This guy was definitely going to push his buttons. For now, Jason would play the role of the worried family man, once he had Kyle back he could refocus on becoming the man who would get them out of here. The ruthless individual people that he had become that wrung in Gotham's criminal element and made the place known as crime alley far safer. Him, not Batman.

    "You are a dick. If you don't want to help just say so. And fine, be that way. Just don't come crying to me when your stupid ass gets in over your head." Jason told him as he sat Richie down and got his guns out. He looked down at the still scared boy. This was terrifying for the kid he knew, but he needed to keep Richie focused on surviving. That much was for sure.

    "I know. This is scary Richie, but I need you to follow me. Stay close, no running off on your own. This place, we know nothing of it. That makes it very dangerous for us. Head my every order and we'll make it out of here kid. I promise." He gave a stern look to Richie.

    "Yes daddy." The boy watched as Jason put his red helmet on from inside of his pack now, for some reason he was already in his usually vest and cargo pants with his leather jacket, which told Richie that meant daddy was all business.

    Jason began to lead the way down the forest path before they. Staying alert, hands ready to draw both of his guns just incase they had to fight here.

    His eyes watched the biker as he tried to flee. They would follow him mainly because it might lead to where his husband was, and also so he could mock this dick if he got what was coming to him in the form of being beaten up by whoever or whatever was in this tower with them.

    He primarily followed in silence while Richie was humming a little tune, occasionally having to be pulled back behind Jason as they walked, he knew the boy was trying to stay calm. But it was for the best that he never actually put himself into any danger in this situation and that he behaved. So Jason could focus.

    "Perhaps you should have brought a weapon biker wannabe." Jason stated from under his mask now, voice disguised by the machine he kept in his helmet, though he was sure the man suspected who he was.

    Jason peeked around the corner, not seeing anyone but drawing his guns just incase. "Be on your guard. Something is not right here." He told the man as he started to walk around the corner.

    "Whatever this place is, it is not safe."

Poco wasn't too offended by the girl's statement, he tended to get that reaction from those who haven't seen him perform or fight.

"So we're both lost. It seems like the others are too." He mused, noticing the other humans stir. "That's concerning."

He tried to think if there was any other place in the park that resembled this place. There were other forest-style attractions in the park, but the visuals were all wrong to be any of the three. He was really lost. It's been ages since he was ever anywhere outside of its walls. What was he going to do now?

Well, he could introduce himself to the group. He got up and tried to look presentable given the circumstances. "My name is Poco, I am the lead performer of the Starr Park Mariachi Bandstand." He sketches a quick bow. "It's nice to meet you all, though I wish the circumstances were better." He chuckled a little awkwardly.

"Now, is anyone injured? I could heal you up before we try and explore." He offered. He didn't have any injuries, but the others may not be as lucky.

  • So, Jax had been left in charge of sweeping up after the group's most recent activity. Yeah, even though they do fun stuff, there's still cleanup.

    "Jeez. How exciting is this, amirite?" he moaned with apathy, addressing a lone gloink who happened to be nearby.

    Then a rift opened up spontaneously and zapped him into another reality, and the broom fell to the floor. In a brief moment of silence, the gloink vomited up a couch and then rolled away.

    Somewhere, in a checkered hallway with a mossy green wall and puddles of dried blood, Jax appeared out of the rift, noticing that he wasn't holding a broom anymore.

    The hallway stared him down like an endless dark abyss, mysterious and vast in its grandeur, seeming to stretch on forever. Catching himself distracted by the crisis, he snapped out of his befuddlement when he found that others were present with him. He wasn't alone. The thought was more comforting knowing he found himself in yet another inescapable fun house with other unfamiliar people.

    Other than that, he noticed the cube covered in eyes on the floor. The floor covered in blood. Now that... that made him nervous.

    "Ohhhh, great! Another mindf@!#. At least I don't have to sweep the circus anymore! Yup, that's the least of MY worries now!"

    "Right, random strangers I've never met before?"
    he mused, addressing the others with him.


  • "Moxxie!" Blitzø yelled in terror as he ran for his life to push his friend out of harm's way. He was too late, however. Whatever the hell was happening in Hell had already gotten to the little guy.

    "I don't feel so good, Mr. Blitz..." were Moxxie's last words as he pressed his hand to Blitzø's cheek and slowly started dematerialize away, swept into the sky in a mass of granulated particles.

    "No... no, Moxxie no! Why! Why is this happening! What the f@!#'s going on!"

    Blitzø stood on his knees, staring deeply into the ruin of his world. As if things were terrible before, the thought of everything being obliterated into nothingness right in front of him shocked him to his very core. He'd never known hopelessness like this before. It was like everything he'd existed for this whole time was being plucked away in an instant and for what, he had no idea.

    Maybe it really was that time. The end of the universe. Stolas had prophesied it many times, but Blitz always shrugged it off as folklore. Now it was really time. After watching Loona, Stolas, Millie and Moxxie disappear before his very eyes, after narrowly escaping every attempt by the cosmic unknown to eradicate his being, while buildings crumbled around him and bedrock broke apart and floated into space, he was finally ready to give in. He couldn't go on any longer. He had nothing else to go on for. Everyone he cared about had been taken away. Everyone except for him.

    Blitz threw up his arms and cried, "Fine! Get it over with you all powerful asshole! Take me! Take me with them! I... I don't have any fight left..."

    He broke down, dropping on his hands to the ground and sobbed until the ray of almighty light from above shot through the atmosphere and blasted him to smithereens, wiping the last demon out of existence.

    Well, it only seemed that way, until existence gave him a surprise wake-up call moments later.

    Moments later....

    "OWWW! SON OF A W#@&%! WHOOOOOO THE F@!# DID THAT?!?!"

    Blitzø's eyes popped open and creaked into a pained squint as he looked around to find whoever just punted him in the family jewels.

    Was he really only dreaming...? Was he still alive in hell all along? He pulled out his RUBBER DUCKY and intended to pull a trigger, releasing a hail of bullets into the unlucky son of a bitch who kicked him, but instead all he got was a useless SQUEAK as he squeezed the toy, much to his chagrin.

    "Oh, you eat my slimy red... where in the great shining purple t@!&$ am I?"

  • The last thing Terezi remembered before waking up in a totally unrecognizable place was getting caught in a beautiful cascading event that overwhelmed all of her senses. She was in the middle of playing sports with her friends when everything seemed to suddenly go quiet, as if the whole world had disappeared in a split second. There was no anticipating it.

    For a while, in a moment that seemed to stretch on for eternity, she floated there, peacefully, a cacophony of colors caressing her nose as it filled her lungs with a feeling of total tranquility. She was in utter awe, like she'd fallen into the arms of a mother she'd never known.

    Just as suddenly as the event started, after floating in that in-between feeling, she felt corporeal again. It felt like waking up from a long dream. But she had no idea what to make of the situation. Her nostrils were already picking up on new scents, new people that surrounded her, a new landscape, and she could feel the influence of the mind web coming back to her as she took in her surroundings.

    "Who the f@!# are all you people?" she spurted, half awake and groggy from the transition to the new universe. She sat up, rubbing her head from the grogginess and let out a deep YAWN!

  • It's with the immediate disagreement and parting of ways that the novelist would grimace.
    Clashing personalities might be good for a tale, but rarely does it ever result in much besides sharpening edges in reality.

    Regardless, it does seem people have settled to go north, and even if things will likely go south eventually, Touma cannot stand aside on his own when others could need a hand.

    And so, with a questionable worry in his stride, he walks with the group northward as he glances around with a habitual notebook in hand.

  • As the others take their paths around, Ken would be...jumping.

    Upwards yes, but one would have to stare high into the sky as a wall continues to pillar up high into the sky before he falls back to the ground without nary a puff on the landing.

    The child would sneeze with visible vitriol though, as his attempt to cheat failed, and he'd continued westward.

    The first thing the woman did after reaching Saburo was sat down in front of his unconscious body, placing a few fingers on his wrist as she grabbed and exposed his hand. Naturally, she was checking for a pulse; the natural rhythm everyone gives out. Though she could hear his heartbeat from afar already, being this close allows her to essentially diagnose anything off with his body. Any wounds, cuts, constrictions, internal fractures–stuff that would disturb a heart's rhythmic beat. Aside from the fact that his silhouette, like the man who called out to her, was also gold, the man's body seems fine.

    "He'll be alright. I can still hear his heartbeat." Aijo lowered Saburo's arm with a nod, glancing back at the sailor fellow. "He's just unconscious, that's all. As far his body goes, there doesn't seem anything out of the ordinary. Bloodflow sounds normal. Airflow, too. No cuts where those white blood cells are needed." She blurted out, realizing how bizarre that may sound to someone like Josuke. "I, uh...I have really sensitive ears." She said, before mulling over what Josuke said, "Oh, can I just ask if you know where we are?" She asked, "I distinctly recall getting knocked out during a recording session, and I'm pretty sure this doesn't look like anywhere I know."

    "Paradox? Who's that? Some kinda Time Walker like Gwen is in the future?" Ben would ask his Green counterpart, who seems to be used to all this multiversal nonsense. The closest thing to something similar was Time Travel thanks to Future Gwen that one time when he was a kid. After that, he never got involved with time travel again. But if this Green Ben was right, then this Paradox character must be an invaluable ally to his world--or rather, the multiverse as a whole. "Looks like I'm missing a whole lot of adventures with this Paradox character. But I digress." He turns to the rest of the waking crowd, "Looks like a round of introduction's in order. I'm Ben Tennyson. And these two...Are also Ben Tennyson." He introduced himself and his two dopplegangers to the others. "It's a multiverse thing."

    • "Don't need one. My fists are enough for the job." Hayato bantered as someone caught up to him. Glancing a bit, he saw the same brown coat that bothersome Red Mask was wearing, so he pretty much knew who was with him. There's also a third, but he didn't bother checking who it was. As long as they didn't get in his way, it's fine. Continuing to the west, it didn't take long until Hayato heard the first sign of trouble.

      A hiss.

      Bursting from the crunching fallen leaves were masses of smoke, taking shape as it hardens into a small group of creatures; massive rubix cubes, randomly having eyes on each side's 6x6 cubes. letting out a low growl appeared before the group. Its sides slide about and rotate along its own body around as if trying to solve its own self, letting out crunching noises as their eyes become fixated on the group. Clearly registering them as threats.

      "…Think your guns can handle that, chief?" Hayato scoffs as he unclips his trench coat, unveiling what appears to be a mechanical chestplate underneath. There's four of them, all of which are blocking split paths that go in every other direction. The way they're lined up at the moment; Hayato might be able to force the battle into a single hallway if needed. "Henshin." Clenching his fists, he uttered a codeword familiar to Touma as the man the trench coat lowered his stance, raising his forearms perpendicularly to one another as a loud click can be heard, followed by some kind of echoing whistle that allowed his helmet to finally latch onto his chin. Securing it for good.

      The helmet's eyes glow crimson as Hayato stared down the eyed cubes, all of which beginning to approach the group!

    • As Ken follows his heart and continues westward, he would soon be blocked by a cluster of trees. While still made of glass, the sheer volume of trees growing in that one spot is too large for even a drop of rain to pass through it. No point going through there.

      However, Ken would soon discover that it curves northward, which contains some kind of lone chest nestled above a bundle of sticks, formed like a nest.
