the ACCIDENTAL EXTRADIMENSIONAL TOURIST meme

the ACCIDENTAL EXTRADIMENSIONAL TOURIST meme


Have you ever wanted to travel to another planet? Another REALITY? Even if this is something that has never crossed your mind, It's about to happen. For reals. A giant wormhole has opened up beneath you and dropped you elsewhere. You have no choice in what world you're heading to, or even where you'll be landing. Luckily (or unluckily) you'll be dropped near to a resident of the world who will have no choice but to play your tour guide and help you get to know your new home.
 
How it works

1.
Post with your character. In the body include a little bit about where your character is, or what they are currently doing. You can write as little, or as much as you want! Just a simple sentence saying something like [John Doe is sitting in his office at the paper company goofing off and playing call of duty while his boss isn't looking.] is fine, or you could go into more detail and write a paragraph or two describing a key place in your world's canon to really set the scene for incoming tourists. Try not leave your initial comment blank. This meme will probably work best if you set up a scene, no matter how short.

2. Find someone else who's world you are invading and post dropping in on them. Maybe you just opened a door and found yourself there, maybe you fell into a worm hole. Either way you are not where you were a moment ago. optional: The wormhole might have handily provided you with the means to blend in to your new environment. If you find yourself hopping out into a school, you might be wearing an appropriate uniform, if you happen to fall out into a swords and sorcery type world you might find yourself sporting plate armor or wizard robes, and if you find yourself on an alien planet... well you might look just like the aliens who live there.

3. Remember that with this sort of meme it's probably best to tag outside of canonmates. But, either way, have fun and try not to kill the tourists!

[You may find yourself in Tokyo during the year 20XX, either in the middle or after a pretty weird political crisis involving phantom thieves (?) and the newly formed United Future Party. This is standard urban fare, complete with giant office buildings, a modern red light district (transvestite bars and fortune tellers included in the package), peaceful parks with lakes full of swans, and the craziest pedestrian crossing you could wish for. Also, yes, there is a high school. Several, in fact.

If you were slightly less lucky (or luckier, YMMV), you ended up in a cognitive world that looks like a lovecraftian version of the subway. Strange shadowy creatures lurk between the twisted train tracks, and your clothes are now whatever you think a rebel would wear. You also have a mask, a weapon and a manifestation of your willpower in the shape of some mythological creature/deity floating around you.]

Yunan liked visiting strange and odd places. It let him meet the most interesting people. As much as he liked to be on his own at times, sometimes he had the itch to get out and about. So he hoped a wave of magic, letting the Rukh take him where they wished.

His feet landed without making a sound, as usual. The little golden butterflies of energies flitting about his form. His long blond braid slipped out from under the hood of his forest green hoodie and hung over the right side of his chest. The hoodie itself was a bit too large for his slender frame and hung to mid-thigh over brown leggings which disappeared into brown leather knee-high boots. Reaching down he kind of fiddled with the strange buckles.

"I don't think these serve a purpose..." he muttered to himself. Then froze a moment before his hand shot up to the mask over his face. "Oh! Look at this! This is interesting!"Fingers felt along the simple leather mask covering from his nose up, feeling the vines tooled into it. Then leaned on is staff, he looked to the person he noticed nearby upon his arrival.

"Oh, hello. What world is this?"

[Tamura originally showed up in Tokyo proper, but her crazy luck decided to strike again. She was a bit too close and just out of sight when the Phantom Thieves entered Mementos, resulting in her getting pulled in.

Eh? What just happened?
