Mysterious World of Fandom (Main Plot)


Leon D.S. Geeste


 


Leon let out a soft hum in response to Homura's suggestion, dragging his feet as he continued onward. Kicking aside the leaves he unknowingly left a path of his trail behind. For now his mind was too consumed by the various ideas he was developing as to what their next course of action could be to concern himself with the possibility of being tracked.


 


"I don't think anyone else is here," he said, his statement vague and lacking in detail as he pulled forth the energy to state his thoughts aloud. This place seemed far too serene to be as developed as Earth, and while it was possible that the level of advancement was more in line with that of Expel he still found himself doubting it. With so many people appearing out of thin air, all of which had powers to some degree, surely natives would have taken notice by now. For a brief moment his thoughts flashed back to that of the creature they had defeated and the pink haired girl. Perhaps she was one? If not, then maybe the monster itself. The prospect of hundreds of thousands more of those things populating the planet wasn't exactly an appealing concept but it was a possibility. "When we-um, when I used to travel I would stay in caves when towns weren't an option. Not an ideal choice but having a wall to your back is nice."


 



 




A cave, huh? She had never adopted such rustic dwellings but it's not like she opposed to it. But instead of replying, Homura shut her eyes in a display of thoughtfulness. In reality, she was tired instead. Since she woke up from this morning, she's had to fight several Wraiths, got transported into another dimension, got dominated in a fight with a mangaka, got into it with a murderer and then had to see her powers nullified. At this point, camping in a cave was very welcome if only she could refresh herself. Not to mention Leon's injuries that still needed to be tended to. "If we can find one," Homura answered softly. It was a large point. What if they couldn't find any caves? Well, one thing was for sure, they did need to find shelter.


It was only a few more minutes of walking, did the trees thin out and a large shadow of a building appeared. It looked to be only three stories at first glance but it was dark and obviously miskept and abandoned. The peeling shutters were falling from the broken windows. The walls had several holes, one allowing one to see into the second story from which an unknown piece of furniture threatened to fall from. It might have been Homura's imagination but the house also seemed to be on a slight slant as well.


Homura stopped right where the trees ended to eye the house with suspicion. It was the first piece of civilization that she had come across save for the four people that she had met (two she wished she wouldn't cross paths with again). There was no way a person could comfortably live in it though and it answered their need, if only for the night. Even so, she retrieved her gun once again to be safe. 
 
Count Duckula


"Count duckula" he corrected as although he hated being a vampire he was still quiet proud of his title. he looked at the girl before saying "and your Allie" he questioned just wanting to confirm this as he didn't want to sound dumb.


@TrueBananaz @Kimona


Teddy Ruxpin


Teddy sighed and pointed to the whole map, stating "no this is grundo" he stated smiling. he was happy to be with someone who could help him, even though she didn't understand much about him.


@TrueBananaz


Casper


Casper yawned slowly stretching his arms and sitting up, but as he opened his eyes he jumped up in shock as he couldn't figure out where he was.He looked around hopefully trying to find someone to talk to, he seemed to be in a park as he was under a tree and nearby there was a playground who's paint was fading and slide was rusting."hello anybody there" he called his hands cupped around his mouth as he floated towards the playground which looked like nobody had played on it in years.


@Open for roleplay
 
"What's the matter," he teased, pushing his red-rimmed shades further up his nose, "never seen a hot guy before?"


Though the man was aware that he likely sounded incredibly vain, he didn't care. Sparklez was sure that his tone was indicative of a joke. Most of his flirtatious teasing was, anyway.

Phi laughed from afar seeing the stranger flirting with Kanji. Kanji heard her, "Will you quit with DAT!" Screams to Phi. "Jeez, Can I have some fun now and then?" Says Phi with an annoyed look.

The sunglassed man softly chuckled, amused already by the duo. "Anyway, might you know where this is...? See, um, I'm... foreign."


His emphasis on the word "foreign" was his way of dodging the confession that he was not of this world, in case they belonged here and would panic if the Captain told them.

Phi slid down the cliff. And said to the stranger, "I don't freakin know what in the hell is place either, Oh and by the way if you want know our names, my name is Phi, like the Greek Letter. And this is Kanji, like the second Japanese language."

He lifted an eyebrow, appearing to be somewhere between somewhat and incredibly puzzled. "Japanese? Greek? I'm going to assume that those are languages from your world..."


The Captain shrugged, blowing it off. "Eh, whatever. Just call me Sparklez. Captain if you're the kind to bother with formalities. I don't care either way."


He anticipated their laughter, having gotten used to it already. Though it wasn't his real name, he preferred it, despite the obligatory mocking that came with using the alias "Sparklez".
 
Rohan smiled, it's nice have formally introduced to one another, but there was something that he's been worrying him since they hid now that the monster's gone. How will they get past the trio? Will they just go through the forest and hope to find something? But if one of them's connected to the Game master, then they're their ticket out of here. . .But wait. That must mean those three have heard the Game Master's message, right?  They must've be in the same knowledge as them; everyone is their enemy.


"So, Diego, mind taking the lead for this one?" He asked, for Rohan knew his stand, Heaven's Door, isn't exactly made to fight, but rather for analyzing the enemy. But Diego's Stand, 'Scary Monsters', if he had read correctly, can turn these three into his own pawns. Cruel, but it shouldn't be a problem for him since he gained his trust. Plus, Heaven's Door's command on him is still active, so it shouldn't Diego shouldn't be able to attack him. "What should we do about these three?" Rohan pointed at the three strangers, who are still standing idly and speaking at one another.


@GinkyGotBack


Penny heard some soft voices behind her, turning around to see a small hat with the letters 'D', 'I', and 'O' on it sticking out of the nearby bush. Did someone accidentally left a hat there? Or could it be an enemy or a friend hiding there? She tilted her head a bit, for she felt like she's being watched since the beast growled.  Penny observed the bush, in case someone comes back and gets their hat.


 @GinkyGotBack@billthesomething

Diego Brando




The irises and the sclera of his eyes began moving and shifting, until they both were smaller than they had been before.  With his raptor's eyes, he could see the trio far more clearly than those with human eyes could.  A cowboy, a tall, corpse-like child and a teenage girl all stood in plain sight.  One of them was looking this way, the girl must've seen his helmet through the bushes.  "The girl sees me, but I don't think she's noticed you yet.  It would be pointless for me to hide, so I'm going to approach them.  You should try to walk around them, and if I give you a signal then that means they're dangerous.  I'll make it obvious enough that you'll know what it is when you see it." 


Diego stood up, the lower half of his body still hidden in the brush before he stepped out of it.  He began to walk toward them, the back of his right hand rested on his hip as every exaggerated step brought them closer to the group.  His eyes had gone back to normal as he stopped about twelve feet away from them.  "Hey there, over here!"  Diego waved at them with his free hand, as he glanced to the side to see if Rohan had started moving.  "Could you guys help me out, I'm in the middle of a race and I've just lost my horse!"  He hadn't exactly lied to them, but they figured they might still be suspicious of them.


Hol Horse


Hol Horse perked up his ears as he heard someone approach them from the forest nearby.  It was a young man wearing a horse rider's outfit, he had a cocky sort of air about him.  Hol Horse, who always seemed to draw strange folk to him, was immediately wary of the newcomer.  As the kid began walking towards them, he pointed at him and yelled, "Hey, stop right there!  That's close enough, ya hear?"  The kid started talking about a race and his horse or something like that,it sounded like a load of crap to him.  "Horse, what are you talking about?  There's no big race going on, if there was, I would've bet on it already!  Stop fooling around and tell us what you really want, before I run out of patience!"

"Okay... Sparklez." Phi said. "Now it looks like this 'gamemaster' is making us play a messed up game. Surviving this world maybe?" Phi continued.
 
Snake listened to them quietly. He decided it would be best to study them for now. he didn't know how to deal with tese, people? He wasn'r sure.


@TrueBananaz @BeebeTheWarrior


okay who wants me drop  Saiki Kusuo on them?


no seriously, i'm gonna drop him on you.

@billthesomething

"Gotcha." Rohan whispered to himself as soon as Diego stood up. As soon as at least, two of them got Diego's attention, he rolled into the forest and hid behind a tree and began to observe for a chance to move to the next tree. It is one of the tactics which Pink Dark Boy always used whenever a stealth-based break in was about to occur. Nevertheless, it appears that Diego was right about who saw him; the girl with orange hair, which kinda resembles Reimi if it weren't for her clothing and the ribbon, that is. However, her companions seem...Dangerous. On the other hand, her companions seemed to be a bit surprised about Diego's revelation about his race. 


"A Race? About what?" Penny asked the man who suddenly appeared. He was blonde, and was wearing a Cyan outfit and the hat she saw earlier. She was curious to know what kind of race it is. She haven't heard of much races in any of the 4 kingdoms she's in, so this knowledge is pretty new to her. "Could you tell us more about it, sir?" She requested, hoping to know what kind of race it is.

(oh can he rp with casper?)


@Kimona


Count Duckula


Count duckula looked at snake with a slight interest as he hadn't spoken very much this whole time. he was still slightly concerned about the snakes but besides that the silent person intrigued him.


@TrueBananaz 
 
"Okay... Sparklez." Phi said. "Now it looks like this 'gamemaster' is making us play a messed up game. Surviving this world maybe?" Phi continued.

"Wouldn't doubt it," he replied, crossing his arms. "We aren't the only one out 'ere, are we?"


Quickly thinking over his words, Sparklez then tacked on an apology. "Sorry if I'm pressuring you with questions you don't know. I'm just concerned and confused, like you two probably are."

Diego Brando


 


Diego grinned at her curiosity, she took to his story like a fish takes to bait.  "Well, miss, this race of mine is no average horserace.  This is a cross country race in the most literal sense!  You must travel 6,000 km with little rest for a grand prize of fifty millions dollars!  You can race by horse, train, camel, even on foot!  It's the biggest, most dangerous racing event of all time!  The race I speak of is none other than the Steel Ball Run!"  Adjusting the collar on his turtleneck, Diego smiled at her, his charm had been more than enough to woo any ladies he had to impress and he didn't doubt this time would be any different.  "Before I explain any further, I'd love to learn the name of the curious young lady in front of me.  That bow you're wearing shows such elegance and class that I simply cannot tear my eyes away.  I'm afraid I may not be able to sleep tonight without hearing it at least once."  He'd end the sentence with a toothy smile and a quick wink, 'Checkmate,' he thought to himself.


Hol Horse


 


Hol Horse was visibly shocked by the show this stranger had just put on.  'Damn, this kid's smooth, smoother than me even,' Hol Horse thought to himself bitterly, 'If this goes on for any longer, Miss Penny might be taken in by his boyish charm!'  The jealous Hol Horse tipped his hat down, shading his eyes from the sun and the boy.  "Miss Penny," he said softly, so he wouldn't hear, "You can't listen to a word he says.  You'll have to pardon my language, but I can smell the crap coming out of his mouth from here!  Everything he's been saying is obviously a lie, if there really was such a race then we would've no doubt heard of it, don't you think?  He's just trying to trick you so he can get into your head, or worse.."

"Yeah, we are confused. And heck, I didnt know who Phi is when I 'woke' up." Kanji replied. "We don't know if where are the others... Or if there are others..." Phi stated. Kanji was knitting of a small grey bear behind him.

@billthesomething

Rohan couldn't believe his eyes at the moment, it appears that everyone there is flirting with the girl! Even Diego's captivated by her mere appearance!...Or maybe it's a tactic? For Rohan had seen a tactic that involves flirting with the opponent to distract them from the situation at hand. He thought it's useless, but it actually proved to be useful for once. Rohan chuckled softly, seeing the chance to move. He dashed to the tree which is on the distance where the group hadn't passed on yet, but just the right distance where he can also observe the conversation, gathering intel for Diego, too.


"True...But you can't rule out the possibility of the event happening in the area." Penny rubbed her chin as Hol Horse whispered to her. "It is strange, however that a race is happening but the only contender we see here is stuck in a bush... Maybe his horse got scared by the growling earlier?" Penny soon turned to the stranger, who had winked at her earlier. Kinda similar to Hol's compliment. She just didn't get why do they keep doing this just to get her name...Is there something she didn't know about men? "Oh, My name's Penny! It's a pleasure to meet you too, sir...?" She introduced with her usual cheer, hoping to know the stranger's name.


"Penny...Age, Unknown." Rohan muttered to himself as he wrote the name on his notebook, hoping to use this knowledge in the future as he watched the conversation continue.

Allie Johnson


Allie nodded her head, "I am indeed, Allie." She said "Also... I'm going to call you Duckula. Titles really don't matter. I have a title but I never use it. Unless your name is Count, you are Duckula to me." She turns to Snake "Still not talking?"


@Kimona @BeebeTheWarrior


The Enchantress


The Enchantress crossed her arms as asked, "And how can we figure out where we are? I can inspect the area."


@BeebeTheWarrior
 
Standing there in silence, Kira was without thought as he stared blankly at Satori, who had presented him with a question.  Trust, he had never been able to trust someone ever since he first began killing.  His hand twitched, his fingers bending and straightening over and over again.  Trust..


"Well, there really isn't much I can do to stop you from erasing the past hour from my memory.  However, is that really the full extent of your power..?  Perhaps you can erase my memory of the past few days, weeks, years, maybe even my whole life.  And, if you really can do that, what stopped you from doing it when you first laid eyes on me, when you first looked into my past?"


Killer Queen formed behind him, it's arms crossed as it stood there awaiting orders.  "I bet you know where my Killer Queen is just from reading my mind, don't you?  So it seems like that would be a wasted effort, too."  Kira continued standing without thinking, it felt strange not to have a single thought go through his head, but was he truly not thinking?  He wouldn't know that it felt weird not to think unless you were thinking.  Regardless, Kira continued with his speech.


"I suppose I can't really trust you, unless you give me a reason that is.  If I really were to trust you and we were going to travel together, you would have to trust me as well."  Yoshikage Kira smirked at the thought of mutual trust, it seemed so foreign to him.  "If I can trust you to keep my memory the way it is, and not to tell anyone my secret, then you'll have to trust that I won't kill you when it seems most possible.  You will have to put your trust in my trust, so to speak."


@Captain Gensokyo



     Satori gave the man an annoyingly pleasant little smile. "For an outsider, you certainly are capable. Mm...'mutual trust'...it is a concept foreign to you, is it not? I understand the intimate machinations of your heart, Kira, and I know you have no ulterior motives behind your offer yet...aside from the need for my protection, of course," the youkai girl stated matter-of-factly, almost smirking.


     Yes, their presences were growing fainter by the second. Now was the time to end this charade. "However, therein lies the problem. I am sorry, Kira, but I truly have no reason to accompany you when better, safer alternatives are available. Perhaps in another life, we would have been partners. I wish you the best of fortune in your quest for survival," she said with somewhat actual genuineness. 


     "The question remains, now, 'Should I ease your pain and grant you peace from these last few moments?' Or...even possibly...perhaps you wouldn't wish to let go of the strangers you have met,"  she thought, gifting him a rather subtle offer.

Keeper stood silently, though he did glare at Diego when he began flirting with Penny, He would have tried his little intimidation tactic on the Racer, but he seemed like someone who held a tighter grip on his emotions then Hol Horse did. So he felt the racer deserved a little more respect then the cowboy did, But he looked up to the sky to see that sun would soon be meeting the hills and felt this little demonstration of emotions had gone on far to long for his liking. "Ms. Penny I believe we had somewhere to be, correct? and as much as i enjoy the prospect of you gaining more friends. I would prefer that we would reach the city while the Lord's sun was still high in the sky. Would it be possible if we could continue this little conversation while we get a move on?"

"Oh, right!" Penny nodded at Keeper's suggestion. It was indeed getting late, and it would be bad if they were out in the open for anyone else to find. Maybe she could settle this dispute of trust soon enough when they find a town. "Let us proceed, shall we, sir?" She offered with a smile, letting the group go forward. . .


@GinkyGotBack
 
Snake, almost in reply turned away from the group and looked at the woods, Wordsworth was returning. He kneelled down and reached out his arm, letting Wordsworth slide back up it, he listened to him. Soon enoughed he righted himself and turned to the others. "THis way is the best way. Says Wordsworth." He states, pointing towards where Wordsworth came from.


@TrueBananaz @BeebeTheWarrior


Saika Kusuo appeared in this world a little confused. He had been in the middle of teleporting when he ended up here, so needless to say he was more then a little surprised to find him face connecting with grass and dirt. He stood up looking around, and brushed himself off. He couldn't hear any thoughts, that was a first in a long time, soon enough though with all his looking, he located a Ghost, though it looked different then the ones he was used to, and the face he could see it was rather alarming as well, since last time he checked he wasn't a psychic medium.
 
"Yeah, we are confused. And heck, I didnt know who Phi is when I 'woke' up." Kanji replied. "We don't know if where are the others... Or if there are others..." Phi stated. Kanji was knitting of a small grey bear behind him.

"Then we might as well look, right? No one really finds anything without trying."


Unless you're lucky, he thought, but if you're in this situation, I highly doubt you are.
 

Leon D.S. Geeste


 


"What happened here?" Leon mumbled, stopping beside Homura to take in the sight of the ruined building. This wasn't the kind of refuge he was hoping for. Something that large could hide all kinds of nasty surprises. Continuing upon his earlier idea, his mind's eye flashed an image of several of those creatures they had just battled congregating around around a circular table. Wrapped around their tentacles were multiple coffee mugs for each one, recklessly slinging the black fluid into their mouths as they exchanged a series of screeches with one another. His expression turning stern Leon let out a huff of disapproval at his own imagination. This surely had to be the result of his exhaustion and injuries. There was no progress to be had in entertaining such bizarre fantasies.


 


Watching Homura prepare her weapon Leon lazily raised his hand to give a wave of dismissal toward the action. Much as he wanted to rest he knew he couldn't rush in. Not without more backup and a better state of health. This place had already challenged his expectations more than once in his brief time here. Opening his book he began to flip through the pages, returning to a spell that he had just recently made use of to a very limited level of success. Bits of decayed skin, muscle, and bone materialized a few feet in front of the duo to slowly take the form of a decayed individual. Most of its details have long since withered away, but based on its figure their remained the possibility of it having been more or less a humanoid race at one point.


 


"Let's send that in first," he suggested, slamming the book shut again. These things were expendable, so better to make use of them and make sure he and Homura could avoid any injuries. If this place had any traps or opposition inside they would certainly be able to tell based on the corpse's state once it returned. Or if it returned at all. Letting out a mournful groan, the reanimation turned to look toward the two with hollow eyes, causing the small mage to glare in annoyance in retaliation. "Shush. Get to work." Leon commanded, nodding lightly toward the building. Stumbling awkwardly as its body struggled to maintain itself the corpse turned and began hastily approaching, pausing at the door in silent contemplation for a second. Slamming its body into it to force it open rather than simply turning the knob it disappeared inside.


 



 



 
"Then we might as well look, right? No one really finds anything without trying."


Unless you're lucky, he thought, but if you're in this situation, I highly doubt you are.

"True, but if something attacks us... I-" Kanji cuts Phi in mid-sentence. "I got this." Kanji was holding a baseball bat.
