It can be hard enough being ejected from your own home - imagine being plucked away from your home world! This could be because of your own doing, you were too evil or too ambitious to stay, or even due to an accident. Those temporal shifts can be a little much. Whether by design or by chaos, however, you end up in the same place...or, rather, a different place. Theoretically, this world could be very much like your own, with only a few minor changes, like a purple sky instead of a blue one or lion-demons instead of tiger-vampires. On the other hand, it could be completely different, anywhere from more technologically advanced or less so or even filled to the brim with bizarre creatures. They still use cars? What are those infernal beeping devices? Why does no one have feathers or gills? Needless to say, this could be overwhelming if you are possibly powerless and definitely alone.
But you're not alone. Someone, a native of this world, has ended up tangled into this whole affair with you, whether they want it or not. You can't turn that down. They're your only ally, your only anchor in this brand new world. Maybe, just maybe, they can show you a thing or two to help you back up on your feet. Or, best case scenario, back to your home! When you're out of the frying pan and into the fire, though, nothing is cut and dry. Everything about this world may not be so horrible - it may be fun, even - and this person you've ended up with, oh, they could be worse. In fact, you may be beginning to feel at home with them.
Remember. This is not your real home. You want to go back, don't you?
And what about the other party? Of course, you may be less than thrilled that you now are playing tour guide to what seems like a crazy person. Perhaps this was out of the kindness of your heart or you may be forced to play babysitter, but it all leads to you keeping an eye out on them. They have to be lying about all this! Sure, they may talk strange, unconsciously insult you, and act like the simplest things confuse them; that has to be an act!
...still, act or not, you're starting to see that there's more to them than their goofy ways and there's more to your feelings toward them than you thought.
how to play
- Comment with your character and preferences. Don't leave your comment blank! Mention something about your character's world in the comment for the canon blind (ie, "ancient Greece" or "dystopia with kids killing kids - the Japanese version"). It doesn't have to be long, it can even be a few words! If you have any other ideas, include them.
- Reply to others. Use the RNG - or not. Whichever you prefer.
prompts
- arrival → You've just arrived...and someone has seen it. What's your impression? Good? Bad? Get the hell away from them? It may depend on why you're here in the first place.
- not so different → Huh, this could be your own home in the universe, except for a few subtle changes. But those changes stand out.
- different time → The place you've ended up is either much more advanced or much more primitive than you're used to.
- different world → They breathe oxygen? Where is their night vision?
- magical moment → See the gif. Essentially, it's that moment of interest before everything goes absolutely wrong.
- disbelief → So, they says they're an ancient Roman or a magic sky god. Did they hit their head?
- argument → No, no, no. You're not going anywhere until we get you some clothes and some help.
- forced to take them in → You have no other choice but to take this person in. You were either charged with the task or feel guilty.
- offer of shelter → You actually want to take them in out of the kindness of your heart.
- depowered → Were you a powerhouse before? Well, now you're an average joe. That'll teach you.
- misunderstanding → Here, we don't walk around in loin cloths, draw swords, or barely bathe or eat toothpaste. We also don't ride dogs, either.
- friendly fun → Being around here isn't always bad. You get to see new sights, taste new foods, and make new friends. Your milage may vary on the last one.
- introduced traditions → Time for the newcomer to show their host something from the old country, so to speak, or the reverse.
- romantic moment → Dancing or sitting under the stars or your own preference. Go wild and be creative!
- showing you care → They have helped you out a lot since you've arrived. Perhaps you can return the favor by lending a hand or solving a problem?
- the romantic shift → The typical turn of events where the two of you begin to see each other in a different light.
- not my type → Your usual type is more glamorous or more...possessing of gills, but the bond between you two endears them to you.
- jealousy → The newcomer misunderstands the dynamic that's already set in place.
- someone back home → You find yourself growing closer to your new friend, but you're already taken back home.
- confession → You both admit it's more than mere interdimensional alliances.
- smut → You've reached that point in the relationship, or you're about to leave, or you're just curious about the people in this world (remember that scene in Howard the Duck where - nevermind, actually).
- epic fight → Two worlds collide and big bads from the past are coming to threaten your temporary home and new love.
- reformed → You've learned your lesson and turned over a new leaf. As much as you can, anyway. You're more open, less cocky, whatever the case may be.
- sacrifice → Unfortunately, you won't get to go home. You selflessly put yourself in harm's way for your lover.
- going home → Time for a heartfelt goodbye. Will you see each other again or is this it?
- new home → You've learned and gained so much, you've decided to stay in this word.
- WILDCARD

RNG is fine with me!
Hakkyuu ⚔ Guild Wars 2 (oc)
Since Tyria is a pretty vast world with different terrains, atmospheres, and cultures, there's a lot to pick from if you want your character dropped into his world. There are the snowy Shiverpeak mountains, the dense, dangerous Maguuma jungle, the human city of Divinity's Reach, the recently rebuilt port town of Lion's Arch, the once great expanse of Orr, now home to only the undead, the lushness of The Grove and the Pale Tree, the arid desert landscapes of Dry Top and the Silverwastes, or any other location in Tyria.
Basically, if there's a setting type or atmosphere you want to drop your character into, I'm sure there's something to suit that itch in Tyria and I'm happy to set something up :)
Open to all prompts and OTA for gen, and m/m for shipping and smut. Hit me with any ol' thing.]
6 - Maguuma - I bet you thought I dropped this
This is most likely the first time he's been at a loss for words since he arrived. Leaning on his staff alongside Hakkyuu... and before a pack of pocket raptors. They haven't seemed to notice yet. Yet.]
You've got to be shitting me. You have hordes of undead, super powered dragons, and now you're telling me these things are roaming around trying to kill you. Can it possibly get any better?!
OMG SURPRISE DORAIN!
From their slight vantage point on a curving green root overlooking the little death nuggets, Hakkyuu crosses his arms and shifts his weight to one leg, an sardonically amused smile on his face, which grows when Dorain makes how very done he is with the situation clear. Cocking his head to the side to glance sidelong at the necromancer, Hakkyuu grins.]
Oh, you think this is as good as it gets? [He reaches out to pat the other man on the bicep in a gesture of mock sympathy.] You're so cute.
[It did cause some problems though. Confident as he was, pocket raptors were nothing to snuff at and the smile is briefly replaced with an upward frown as he pushed his lower lip against his upper teeth.]
Nah, really, it's not even these little jerks that are the only problem. They often hang out with bigger saurians. [And yes, he is glancing around just in case, then he looks back at Dorian carefully.] You gonna tell me that dealing with scattering scaled rats with razor teeth isn't your strong suit? What use are you, man?
NO ONE EXPECTS THE INQUISITION
[Thankfully, Dorian was far from a stranger to banter. Sure, he shot Hakkyuu quite the dirty look at first, but it was followed by a smirk and a light shove. It wasn't enough to send the man off the vine and into the pack, but there wasn't any harm in insinuating he could, right?]
I'm equipped enough, I'd simply like to avoid them. What Thedas lacks in these little monstrosities, they make up for in an overabundance of normal dragons. And wyverns. Many, many wyverns. [He shuddered. Little did he know their worlds shared the latter.]
So unless you'd like to see me running with more holes in my armor— no doubt you would, but that's besides the point— we best find a better way back to camp.
THEY CERTAINLY DON'T EXPECT THEM TO BE WEARING MUSTACHES LIKE THAT ONE THEIR FACE
Pointing an accusatory finger at the necromancer, Hakkyuu narrows a single eye.]
Rude, sir. Very rude!
[Turning his back to the swarm of pocket raptors, Hakkyuu swung himself down off the branch to the naturally formed green pathway.]
What, you're tryin' to say you don't think a couple of lizards to face would be an improvement? Colour me shocked.
But we get wyverns here too, if you wanna skip the mini raptors and compare their bigger cousins to the ones you get back home.
[He glances back over his shoulder, apparently unable to resist the opportunity to be crass.] And I dunno if I'd like to see holes in your armour as much as I'd like to see other holes of yours elsewhere.
excuse me i'd like to file a complaint: hakk isn't allowed to be that attractive
With how casually you speak of these creatures, either you're rather confident in your abilities... or terribly stupid. I'm not sure which is more likely. [He slows as he reaches his side, keeping an eye out at the terrain as if a wyvern would burst out at any moment.
He laughs anxiously. When in doubt, flirt.] With your looks, I suspect that latter. Only some of us can pull off have brains and beauty. Namely, me.
HR is considering your complaint and should get back to you with an unsatisfactory reply in 21 days

Well, Tatsumi thinks it looks pretty nice, anyway! He's not sure where he is, one moment he was out to grab some groceries with Berserker, the next - somewhere he doesn't recognise. Did he space out and wander into some weird part of town? ...But there definitely aren't any areas like this in Tokyo. Unless he walked into some kind of theme park, but those should have gates and fences!
Suffice to say he's utterly confused, even more so when Berserker isn't anywhere in sight and he's left standing there with his plastic grocery bags full of assorted convenience store bento boxes and instant noodles feeling very out of place. Everyone passing him looks...so fancy. No one says anything to him, though they do give odd looks now and then. He should at least get out of the street, maybe try to find a map and figure out where he is.
But he's lucky! Right there across the street, it's definitely Berserker, at least they can figure this out together - plus Berserker's smart!]
Ber-- [No, Jekyll is better in public, besides which, they're friends, he should use his name. Transferring one bag to the other hand, he waves his arm above his head frantically.] Jekyll! Over here, hey!
no subject
London is the bustling epicenter of the Western world, culture is flourishing, the global market is expanding under the Imperial grasp of London's long trading arm, and scholarly ventures are widely debated and highly anticipated.
It's a far cry from Tokyo in the late Twentieth century, and Jekyll's mind is well removed from the Grail War, the fact that he's actually dead, or that he has a Master at all. To him, it's simply another day and there's much to do in the hours before nightfall.
On this particular morning, it's a matter of house calls--a suitable distraction from the itch, as it were. In fact, he's made two stops already. The first down Carey Street, not far from the Royal Courts of Justice for a routine matter, and the second a far more flamboyant affair involving a guest in the Savoy from overseas, though that whole affair had been all a bit of an exaggeration and left Jekyll shaking his head and sighing deeply as he stepped back out onto The Strand.
It's as he's standing on the street making all the necessary adjustments (ensuring his waistcoat is smoothed out once more, cleaning his glasses, checking his pocketwatch for his need scheduled appointment, and mentally mapping where he needs to head next) that his process is disrupted. Someone is calling to him, by name no less, and it takes him a couple of moments of looking around before his eyes finally fall on the young man trying to grab his attention.
Jekyll blinks, the surprise and confusion clear on his face because, in that moment, he has absoltuely no idea who this person is; he doesn't realise that they're friends, nor that this is his Master.]
Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to appear like I was ignoring you. I was merely preoccupied. [And he smiles brightly.] Is there something I can I help you with, sir?
no subject
I'm just glad I found you! Umm, do you know where we are? Sorry, I think I got us lost...
[Wait...wait, did he speak in English? Isn't that a different outfit from what Berserker normally wears??]
no subject
Oh, no, it's quite all right. We are--[He glances around reflexively, though knowing quite well where they are.]--on The Strand. Charring Cross and Trafalgar Square are up the street, and in the opposite direction is King's College London.
[He gestures in each direction as he speaks, then looking back at Tatsumi he inclines his head to one side.]
Are you looking to get to somewhere in particular? Perhaps I can assist you.
no subject
Is there a sister university to a London based one in Tokyo? The Strand?? But he can't be too confused because Jekyll is acting perfectly normal! Mostly.]
Uhhh, I still don't know where that is. Aren't we heading home? Unless you wanted to see something else I guess, but this stuff should go in the fridge...
