Welcome to My World!

Welcome to My World!
It's a whole new world!  And how lucky, you've got a friend(?) who has the responsibility of helping you live through it.  Are you a Super Saiyan getting used to the idea of demons in feudal Japan?  Or maybe you're an angel who's making friends with a pretty sweet alien.  Maybe you just come from an alternate version of earth and need a local to help you overcome culture shock.  Thank goodness you're not alone!

Here's how it works:
1. Leave a post. 
You will be the guide to any new arrivals to your world!
2. Comment to posts. You are stuck in the world belonging to the person you've tagged. (i.e., if you tag Naruto, you'll be in his world with him as your guide)
3. SHENANIGANS.  Thread out any scenario! Maybe various scenarios!  Write an epilogue when you're done or something. Use this meme to launch a million AUs for the musebox.  DO WHATEVER YOU LIKE.

A matter of time? [Blink blink. She's pretty sure Fang's not going to just disappear back to her world, is she? And besides...]

But there's no telling how long that could be, anyway! What if it's years?

[She can't explain how else she got here, unless disappearing means waking up.]

Well I'm in quite a spot, aye?

[Fang shifts her weight, one hand on her hip.] What about this - we'll go back to where we met. That might gimme a clue.

[personal profile] buntails 2012-02-06 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[All the way back there?

It can't be helped. Usagi even manages to muster some enthusiasm.]


Alright! Maybe there's some weird alien device from your planet to take you back! [She's aware this isn't... likely, to say the least; it's mostly a joke.]
saboteuring: (i know i left it around here somewhere)

[personal profile] saboteuring 2012-02-06 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Sorry, Usagi. They're going to work off that Chocolate Thunder - if you weren't so stubborn, you wouldn't be having to go through this. Fang, however, it doesn't bother in the least. The brunette chuckles at such an idea.]

Maybe.
buntails: (usagi ♥ blankface)

[personal profile] buntails 2012-02-06 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Whoa. She hadn't exactly been joking, but it is pretty darn cool to know that sort of thing might really exist in Fang's world.]

Really?


... Really?

There are devices that allow instant travel from place to place on Cocoon - it's reserved for the military, but theoretically it can allow for travel between two planets, so it makes sense, even if it is a stretch.

[personal profile] buntails 2012-02-06 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome! Your world has the neatest stuff!
saboteuring: (you know what to do!)

[personal profile] saboteuring 2012-02-06 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Fang chuckles, and her tone gets just a bit rueful.] It's got some pretty terrible stuff too, so it's a trade-off.

Every world has good and bad. That's only normal. But we can treasure the good while we work to help each other through the bad.
saboteuring: (you know what to do!)

[personal profile] saboteuring 2012-02-07 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose you're right. [Although sometimes the world seems infinitely more bad than good. She won't mention that for the sake of not having another conversation about good versus bad. Fang is content to walk back towards their original destination - and she seems relative sure about where she's going, only slowing once or twice to catch her bearings.
buntails: (anime 月 why do i have to do this?)

[personal profile] buntails 2012-02-07 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[This leaves Usagi scurrying to catch up, occasionally running or jogging a few steps to close the gap if Fang gets ahead.]

Not fair with longer legs.
saboteuring: (quiet smile)

[personal profile] saboteuring 2012-02-07 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Oops, she hadn't noticed.] Sorry, kid. [She slows her pace just a little.]
buntails: (Default)

[personal profile] buntails 2012-02-07 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
It's alright! But slow down just a little, please?
saboteuring: (cold beauty)

[personal profile] saboteuring 2012-02-07 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Right, right. [Fang adopts a more casual pace, taking a bit more time to take in the scenery around her. She's not sure there will be anything where she first arrived anyway, so no use in hurrying, after all.]
buntails: (anime 月 writing to mamo-chan)

[personal profile] buntails 2012-02-07 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Let's see... It was right around here... just over there, that street, wasn't it?
saboteuring: (i'm trying to decide if you're an idiot)

[personal profile] saboteuring 2012-02-08 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Fang glances in that direction.] Yeah. [Once there, the l'Cie begins focusing intently on the ground as she walks - something in the air, like those gates, would have drawn a ridiculous amount of attention.

She's about to give up, to tell Usagi, nevermind, there's nothing here. But Fang stops abruptly, and leans to pick up something by a trashcan. It's similar to a grenade, but black and cross-sectioned. Actually, strangely - there are two.
]

I'll be damned. [Fang holds up the two for Usagi to see, and it becomes apparent one is a little different - one has a tab that looks almost like a tiny black motherboard, the other doesn't.]

This is definitely from Cocoon. I'm not sure what's on the other side of this gate at this point, but if it works, it should take me back to Gran Pulse. [More passerby are staring at the oddly-dressed woman, one or two tug their children along faster.]


We might wanna find a quieta corna.

[personal profile] buntails 2012-02-08 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
[They need somewhere people won't see them. Usagi, used to ducking into corners and alleys to transform, grasps that much immediately.]

Come on, this way!
saboteuring: (you know what to do!)

[personal profile] saboteuring 2012-02-08 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Fang nods, holding tightly to the strange little objects, content to follow Usagi this time.]
buntails: (anime ☽ tsuki ni kawatte oshiokiyo!)

[personal profile] buntails 2012-02-08 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a quiet side street that looks abandoned and ignored. There isn't even glass on the ground or any sign of typical loitering.]

Right in here! You can use it here!
saboteuring: (quiet smile)

[personal profile] saboteuring 2012-02-08 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Fang looks carefully each way for any other people. Satisfied, she takes one of the items - the one without the tab, and twists the horizontal sections first, then the vertical. She gives it a light toss, like one might to a rock they intend to skip across water. Instead of skittering to the ground, however, the device seems to somehow stick to the air itself. The four sections split off, and a round screen appears between them, blue with static that looks more like lightning.] Huh. Looks like it'll work.

[Fang breaks the tab of the second one, and holds out the rest of the device to Usagi. A little smile curves her lips.] If you still want to come visit some day, you can use this. I'll keep this part on me, [she holds up the tab] that way you'll come straight to whereva I am.

Might be a nice vacation for ya sometime.
buntails: (usagi ♥ blankface)

[personal profile] buntails 2012-02-08 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Eh? [Usagi looks down at her hand and the device now sitting in it as she takes it from Fang, then quickly up again to search the other woman's face.]

Really? That's possible, with this? It can bring me there?
saboteuring: (quiet smile)

[personal profile] saboteuring 2012-02-08 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
It's working now, so unless something changes, yes. It's worth a shot, yeah?
buntails: (Default)

[personal profile] buntails 2012-02-08 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Usagi closes her fingers around the device, and bobs her head in a bright smile.]

Right! Then, I won't say sayonara. I'll see you again!
saboteuring: (quiet smile)

[personal profile] saboteuring 2012-02-08 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds good. Stay out of trouble, Usagi. [Oh look she used her name.

Fang turns to the screen, easily slipping through. Before she disappears through the blue and white static entirely, however, she says one last thing:
] See ya lata!
