Ginevra Weasley | Harry Potter

[memoriaflame]

Well, something was not right. That was all Ginny Weasley could figure out about what had just happened to her. One minute she was in her home, the next she felt the corners of her mind fading to black and a feeling of being pulled along like in a dream.

Now, she was in some sort of bedroom she did not recognise and wearing a...toga?

Not being one to be meek, she got right up and marched outside, looking for whomever or whatever had brought her here. It was only then she realised she did not have her wand on her person.

"Bollocks."

[losthere]

"Yeah."

Cloud's just coming around a corner, flower vase under one arm, letter in his other hand, and there's really nothing to do but agree with her voiced sentiment. He sounds just about as dryly thrilled as mud, which is to say not at all. His shoulders move, a vague shrug.

"You stuck here too?"

[memoriaflame]

Ah, someone else who looks and sounds as irate as she felt right now. The timing of this little abduction here just sucked, everything was starting to fall in to place and now this.

A little smile for the other in greeting and she nodded.

"Looks like. I'm Ginny, new abductee to wherever we are."

[losthere]

There's a slight gesture with the letter in his hand, more unintentional than anything else.

"Paper says nexus thing," he hadn't really read it well and that meant even less attention than usual to instructions. A pause and, assuming she's upset about the same thing he is, he adds

"Says to find the elders to get our things back."

Another pause and finally it kicks in. He gives a nod.

"Cloud."

Lydia Martin ♕ Teen Wolf

[lefthandedgenius]

[If there was one thing that Lydia has grown wearily accustomed to, it's going to sleep in one place and waking up in another.

At least this time she had her clothes on. Well, she had clothes on, but the linen toga she was wearing definitely wasn't hers. A cursory investigation of the room provides no further clues (though the flowers are pretty), and so she carefully pries the door open and sticks her head outside, looking this way and that down the hall and its rows of pods.]

Hello?

[losthere]

[Cloud, just in the process of letting himself out of his own pod, complete with glares at it so it knows just how much his disapproves, glances over at the voice. He's got an abused letter in one hand and an awkwardly held pot of lilies under his other arm and it would be hard to look more uncomfortable about wearing a toga if he tried.

he doesn't even have the right underwear on...]

I'm guessing you're new here too.

Cloud Strife / FFVII(Dissidia-verse)

[losthere]

A skirt?

Seriously?

Random exhales through his nose, knit brows and tugs at the hem of his toga seem like intelligent reactions to wearing a skirt.

Something shimmery.

...it probably doesn't help that it feels vaguely familiar.

oh you're so cute, Miss Cloud...

The sooner he finds these Elders the sooner he can get his clothes back.

He hopes.

Letter in one hand, lily vase held awkwardly in his other arm, Cloud's headed down the hallway, glaring at doors and looking for the way to the temple.

[maytheforce]

Anakin was angry. Very angry. Whomever had brought him here had separated him from his wife and they were about to feel the wrath of a very angry Jedi who already had major anger management issues.

That and he kind of missed his Jedi cloak, this dress-thing just did not feel quite right.

As he turned the corner, his dulled senses warned him just in time that someone was there. He pulled up short and looked piercingly at the newcomer - who was also in that dress.

"You." Well, he could never really be accused of being top of the class in manners or charm. "Why am I here and where did you put my wife?"

[losthere]

He's already starting to walk around the almost-collision at the corner of the hallway. Someone heading in the opposite direction isn't going the way he needs to go so it's walk-around-and-keep-going. The strident 'you' gets a side glance as he goes past.

He never had reacted well to authority figures, even self-decided ones.

He's not entirely a jerk however, just mostly one so as he keeps walking the direction he was already headed, he says

"Letter I woke up to says it's a nexus thing and the elders have our clothes.

..."

A shrug. Cloud's reading comprehension sometimes suffers when he's distracted, like waking up in a new world in a dress.

"-maybe your wife too."

[maytheforce]

"So you were brought here as well?" not that an apology was forthcoming from the Jedi.

"I'll come with you." Someone had not bothered to read their note, instead just barrelled out in a bad mood and wondering why his wife was not next to him.

Kotoha Isone | Yozakura Quartet

[lautsprecher]

[ The first thing to greet anyone listening in on their NCD is the weary sigh of a young girl. ] "Is this thing on?" is a question I shouldn't have to ask. Then again, cell phones don't normally charge themselves on solar power like this so who knows how it works...

[ Better safe than sorry. There is an impatient tapping on the other end of the line; a pen against the surface of something wooden. ] Listen, I appreciate the hospitality, and the costume's unique, but this reads too much like some weird sci-fi story for me to swallow that easily. The beginning of all worlds... Source of all the universe's energy...

Where are we supposed to be, in the middle of the Big Bang? [ She'd be laughing, but she doesn't think it's too funny! ]

[wrenchmyheart]

[A very confused looking young woman comes on to the image screen, not sure she has even got the working of this right.]

I think it is on, can you hear me?

...what is a Big Bang? Is there a bomb?

[lautsprecher]

I can hear and see you just fine. [ She wasn't sure who else she was expecting to answer her, but that kind of question wasn't part of it. ]

Huh? No, there's no bomb, it's... You've never heard of the Big Bang before? [ Kotoha is genuinely surprised. ]

[wrenchmyheart]

[That gets a small, brief smile in greeting that at least the machine was working. Winry was itching to take it to pieces and find out how it worked, but she had to get home. If she wasn't there when the boys came back...]

No, I haven't. What is it?

Kaylee Frye | Firefly

[hot4engines]

[When the video feed clicks on, a pretty brown-haired girl can be seen, though before she speaks she seems to be tapping the screen, looking at the device's settings. Kaylee finally sighs.]

You know, at one point if I were to ever wake up wearin' nothing but a toga, I'da thought alcohol woulda been involved somehow. Not "congratulations, you've been chosen to help save the world". Worlds. Whichever.

Anyone else listenin', or am I gonna jaw at myself all day?

[golden_hawke]

-=Hawke has no concept of 'devices.' So it's on, recording his every move and he's seated on his bed cross legged, naked as a jaybird while touching and handling various knick nacks and toiletries as if he's never seen them before.=-

[hot4engines]

[WELL, wasn't that a nice sight- Kaylee could definitely appreciate a pretty man.]

Well, hello to you, too! Wasted no time gettin' rid of the toga, I see.

[golden_hawke]

-=And apparently, Hawke has no idea about these devices. He hears the voice and he drops it to look around. A moment later he realized where the voice was coming from and he lifted the device again to peer into it. At first he's too close and then he pulls back some.=-

Toga?

You are not in there, but somewhere else?

-=He's more trying to get confirmation that he understands how the magic box works.=-

[secretways]

Well now, that sounds like an interesting evening to have. [Have a smirking male on your device's screen.]

[hot4engines]

It's definitely in the top 10 weirdest. Probably number one, now that I think about it.

[secretways]

It certainly is out of the ordinary, but I do enjoy a little unexpected surprise sometimes. [The timing of this whole thing sucked but his ruse could stand to be delayed a little while as he worked out how to either enslave this realm and become the ruler here or simply abandon it after he had had his fun wrecking the place and causing chaos.]

What is your name, girl?

Hawke Starfyr || Original

[golden_hawke]

Hawke seems to be the only one not impressed by this toga...thing. He doesn't even bother to adjust it properly and it just hangs over his shoulders, providing the world a show. Hopefully people wouldn't mind. He's very easy on the eyes and sporting only a few scars and one tattoo on his left breast.

While he looks through the halls, his eyes look annoyed but should anyone stop to stare at him for any length of time he straightens and practically throws back the rest of that toga/robe and then bows. "Hello. I am called Hawke. I am...lost. Can you help me?" He sounds extremely polite, and vaguely Russian.

[secretways]

No, he was not the only one. Loki felt somewhat a fool in this garb, wanting his Asgardian threads back. He had a very simple style and this was not it.

"Perhaps," he replied, already looking to manipulate the situation if he can and not bothered by this Hawke's reaction to his attire.

[golden_hawke]

He took note that this other person didn't offer a name. Either he was overly protective of his name or he didn't understand what was polite. There was a momentary pause before Hawke spoke again.

"Do you know where we are? Do you live here?"

[secretways]

"I do now," he admitted. "I received the note regarding the Elders, did you not?"
