Mukuro Ikusaba | Dangan Ronpa [MAJOR SPOILERS, HOLY SHIT THIS GIRL IS BASICALLY A WALKING SPOILER]

[shslpawn]

[If there was ever a girl who looked like she might be questioning most of her life choices while walking around Johto, it's Mukuro. She doesn't look lost really, or even particularly confused as to how she got here and why a Pawniard is trotting along beside her.

More than anything she looks...aimless, taking in the new sights with no change in her expressionless face. In her hands she grips a thick blonde wig, rolling the hair and netting between her fingers in a way that almost seems anxious.



And thus the parade of children from murderschool is nearly complete.]

[struck_out]

[Leon's working a shift at the Pokemart; if Kirigiri is right and if he wants to stay, then he's really going to have to get into this Pokemon biz. But in order to travel and be the very best, he's going to need cash.

It so happens that today, he's been tasked to give out pamphlets to the crowd. He's not the most enthusiastic employee, but when it comes to girl customers? Well, he's smooth enough to convince them to buy a Potion at least. It's right as he's waving off a giggling girl that he happens to spot someone. At first the face isn't recognizable without the pink hair, but as she gets closer he can't help but feel that he's seen her before, somewhere.

Oh well. Semantics.]

Hey, what's a cutie like you doing wondering around with that look on your face? Need some help?

[Leon used FLIRT!]

[freshprints]

[And then suddenly there commenced the BATTLE OF THE PEOPLE WITH EXPRESSIONLESS FACES because here is a Kirigiri, flanked by a Houndour and with interest abruptly piqued not so much by the girl, but by the wig in her hands.

It's only after she gets a little closer that it occurs to her, the fact that she does know that face — albeit only from pictures she'd come across while ransacking her fa— the headmaster's office.

That— that shouldn't be.

But it is, isn't it?

(If she can get a look at the hand, she'll be sure. Unless of course there's makeup involved.)

And maybe there's a risk involved, but she's never hesitated to commit herself to risks before, not when the pursuit of truth was on the line. So she motions to her Houndour and walks over confidently, positioning herself to intercept the girl's path, forcing her to notice and acknowledge her presence.]

Mukuro Ikusaba.

[Let's see how she reacts.]

[shslasshat]

[Togami observes her from the safety of the patio of a cafe, peering at her over the top of his white-framed glasses. His Sableye is sitting on the table sniffing at a bowl of poke-kibble.

When he's satisfied with the identity of the misplaced-looking girl, he folds his gossip magazine primo literature up and stands up.]

Come, Minicider.

[The Sableye is happy to follow, shoveling the entire bowl's worth of kibble into her pointy, gaping maw so that her cheeks puff out comically as she toddles along in the tall blond's shadow.

He puts on his most charming smile as he approaches, his posture oozing confidence and grace, as if he neither knows nor recognizes her. Of course, that impression will change as soon as he opens his mouth, and out comes the language that he knows they share.]

Salut, Ikusaba. Ca va?

[ardent]

[Ishimaru almost doesn't notice her; honestly, he takes notice of the Pokémon before he does the girl leading it. It's...unusual, to see walking Cuisinarts wandering around like that, and it's not a species he's familiar with besides. So he just kind of tips his head a bit at it, and then the thought that obviously it must be trained clicks into place rather easily, and then his gaze is taken by the wig and the girl carrying it and the overwhelming sense of "...Oh."

Oh.

He remembers her face, though he doesn't really remember seeing it in person; he knows he must have, he just associates it with Enoshima, but there's enough cognitive dissonance there for it to not register at all. This is a stranger, someone he'd seen in a photograph once and momentarily mistook for Celestia Ludenberg until he'd realized that no, no, Celes was right there; someone he doesn't recognize but brings a feeling that he can't shake, an awkward sense that he should.

More than anything, she causes something highly unpleasant to flare up, emotions-wise; he can't really place it, but he's not exactly at a point where he really cares - he's a bit too busy trying to figure out how he should react. Should he ignore her? The "correct" thing to do would be ignore her or treat her like a totally random civilian, right? He shouldn't know who she is at all, not if she's taken from anywhere around the time of the killing game; just the same, doing that doesn't strike him right.

What Mukuro Ikusaba has done is unforgivable; just the same, Naegi had said that she was one of their own. As little as he agrees with that, he can't quite dismiss Naegi's words, either, especially since he'd been so determined about it...

...All right, look, there's no sense in pretending, he's too blunt for that anyway and he can't lie to save his life.]

Ah...Mukuro Ikusaba, isn't it?

[Let's see where this goes.]

Sheriff Woody | Toy Story

[strangelittleman]

<sub>[You know, it is SUPREMELY weird being barefoot.]

[Woody has literally never been barefoot before.]

[His boots aren't supposed to come OFF.]


[To anyone around, there's a lanky fellow in cow-spotted chaps, old faded jeans, and a yellow flannel shirt, standing there with his hands on his hips and glaring at what's in front of him: a very happy Ekans, coiled in a tight little curl.]

[There is a boot sitting on its head.]</sub>

Oh, ha. Hah. Hah.

_{[He'd tell it to hand it over, but it doesn't have hands. >8(]}

[hardhat_truckie]

[Well, good to know that he's not the only boy from the south here. Engie tips his hardhat off at the cowboy.]

Howdy sir. Havin' some trouble with that snake over there?

do you mind getting 4th walled, or shall I refrain?

[neededlassie]

[Did somebody order a small child?

Who you're...actually taller that. Well this is a reversal.]

...Is it yours, or do you need help?

SINCE YOU DON'T MIND FOURTH WALLS

[nasa_dreams]

...No way.

[tentacletrainer]

[[She honestly had no idea what to think about the sight in front of her. She's trying very, very hard not to laugh though. And after finally get that under control, Rose approaches.]]

I see you're having a bit of a snake problem, sheriff.

[quickattackjack]

<sub>[Jack senses a bit of tension between this trainer and his (Jack assumes) pokemon as he passes by. He wonders if the man is new.]

[Jack keeps a straight face but the Murkrow perching on his shoulder bursts out into harsh, cawing laughter at the scene. The old man reaches up a hand to clamp her beak shut.]</sub>

Is everything alright?

Touko Fukawa | Dangan Ronpa, potential spoilers?

[sneeze_trigger]

[Now that she's calmed down (read: no longer having a partial melt down because Mom was nice to her) Fukawa is taking a moment out of her so far monotonous day to search for Byakuya-sama. All the while trying to lose her shadow, a Sneasal with especially sharp talons that is giving passersbys very disapproving looks for whispering.

She's trying not to think too hard about how she doesn't know what's going on, that part is almost normal at this point. The explanation however doesn't make even the smallest bit of sense. At least be more creative in your obvious storytelling.

As she walks people part to let her pass, her aura of loom reason enough to get out of the way if you weren't already downwind of her. If yiu were well the sour smell of BO would do it too.]

[struck_out]

[It's a good day for Dangans, ain't it? Leon's just off for his lunch break and is checking out a hotdog stall. Should he get the coney dog? Or just a regular hot dog instead?

Important decisions that require much thought. He doesn't even notice Fukawa walking down the street.]

1/2

[shslasshat]

[oh jesus]

Inui Sadaharu | Prince of Tennis

[idata]

[Not a lot to say when you suddenly find yourself in a world full of mysterious creatures. Well not for this guy at least. Inui let's his hands do all the talking as he scribbles notes into his notebook. There is no real equation to explain how exactly does one find themselves from Earth to here but it doesn't hurt to have a reference to look back on.

That is until his pencil decides to break on him.]

--!

[And there is no extra pencil to be found.]

...

breaking my hiatus a little because hiiii

[backtobasics]

[Did someone need a pen? Shiraishi offers one.]

Hello, Inui-kun.

Rao | Okami

[foxypriestess]

[ What has two thumbs and is incredibly asspained about losing her powers? This gal. The demon lord of Ryoshima Coast should not be stuck being a mere mortal without limitless powers. It's making her seethe with rage and she simply can't wait to flay the person responsible alive.

However, as it stands, throwing a hissy fit is not going to solve anything. She's in a foreign country surrounded by strange contraptions so she is going to make full use of the form she's currently stuck in. She's already played the role of an innocent and kind priestess for some time and she intends to maintain that façade for the time being.

Say hello to this newcomer, Johto. You'll find her wandering around the streets of Goldenrod (or inside the Team Rocket HQ), looking rather lost. ]

What a strange land this is...

[tentacletrainer]

It's surprisingly easy to get used to. [[The reply is from a girl behind her, who was previously window shopping. She's always willing to offer help when someone new arrives.]]

Natsuki Shinomiya ☆ Uta no Prince-sama

[apego]

[Anyone can tell you that one of the essential things to keep in mind when you are suddenly in an unfamiliar place is to keep your guard up, watch where you're going, and most importantly of all, don't lose anything.]

Elizabeth?! Elizabeeeth?! Where did you go?!

[...this should probably be in some sort of guide-book, no matter how obvious it is. If anyone has any spare time, please do help out this new person in figuring out where they've apparently misplaced... an Elizabeth.]

Come back, Elizabeth!

[Time to file a missing person's report... or Pokemon. Who knows. It's a mystery.]

[manfulness]

[Kuwabara has no idea who Elizabeth is, but he's sure he can volunteer to help out. He wastes no time in walking over, waving a hand to the dude in distress.]

Need help findin' someone?

Yukio Okumura | Ao no Exorcist

[in_praetego]

[ He's not lost... he's got a map. He's never lost when he has a map. But then there's this whole... Pokemon deal. He's only heard the principal rambling about them whenever a new game releases but then that's expected of him but for them to be real? That's something new entirely.

And you really can't dismiss the fact that there's a Happiny that's following you around and balancing what looks to be a loaded bento box on its head. It's not just loaded. It's huge. Like... four stacks huge but the Happiny seems to be fine.

Her trainer however balks at the sight. ]

Airi! You really didn't have to bring all that food!

[ To which the pokemon can only pout. It's a scolding look, almost chastising. There's a sigh in response. ]

I won't forget to eat. I promise. But that's really too much for just the two of us.

[ But the Happiny seems... happy enough. Now what to do with all that food... ]

I CAUGHT ME A FOUR EYED NARWAHL

[pinnedbangs]

[Oh look, it's some nerd talking to a pink pokemon. Nerds usually had pink pokemon, now didn't they? And, usually, they had a tendency to avoid eating because they were busy being smart.

But that nerd looked kinda sorta like -- ]

Yukio?!! [WAIT NO, THAT'S NOT THE IMPORTANT THING] Your pokemon is the cute pink one? The happy one?! [THIS. THIS WAS IMPORTANT. THIS WAS AMPLE TEASING FUEL.]

Sayaka Maizono | Dangan Ronpa

[struckfirst]

Oh no, Ippi! What did you do?

[And over here, ladies and gentlemen, we have one extremely distressed young woman crouched over a Starly, with a backpack on one side of her and a rather chagrined looking Wigglytuff on the other. The Starly crumpled into a heap at her feet is noticeably battered, with several bruises covering its tiny body - looks like a certain giant pink bunny rabbit got just a tiny bit overzealous while trying to protect its new trainer. What Maizono is supposed to do about this, she's not entirely sure; she was already freaked out about waking up in a strange place, especially when she so distinctly remembered bleeding to death in Naegi-kun's bathroom, so it would be an understatement to say that she isn't feeling emotionally equipped to handle an injured animal right now. Still, she can't just leave it. What if it dies?

The Starly flutters its wings and chirps weakly. Trembling and pale and overwhelmed by everything that's transpired within the hour since she arrived here (where ever here is), Maizono takes a deep breath and forces herself to calm down, her jaw tightening. Okay. Okay. She's got this. Everything's fine.]

Don't worry, little one. It'll be okay. I'll help you. Just - just give me one second...

[Her voice is as firm and as steady as it possibly can be under the circumstances, and as she offers this bit of reassurance to the Starly, she twists around and wrenches her bag open. There should be some kind of first aid kit in here, right? After all, there's got to be some reason why this thing is so heavy...

As Maizono begins searching through the contents of her bag, her Wigglytuff, Ippi, stands at her shoulder and regards the Starly uncertainly, seeming caught between feeling guilty and feeling a little indignant. Sheesh, trainer, you sure have a way of thanking him for saving you from that thing. Who cares if it was only looking at you funny?]

LOL DANGAN RONPA SPOILERS ERRYWHERE

[freshprints]

[If you were to ask Kirigiri to name the classmates occupying the top three slots on her top secret "Murderschool Shit List" Sayaka Maizono would assuredly be among them — third only to the mastermind and Celestia Ludenberg in that respect. The mastermind is a given, of course, so there's no competition whatsoever for that top spot. And Celes-san beats out Maizono largely for the fact that she consciously attempted to sell out her classmates through schemes and lies for the incentive of money.

But Maizono's decidedly up there, and she won that distinction by being first — first to crack, first to kill, first to prioritize her own life and her desperation for the world outside above that of someone else. She'd been dead before they'd all found out about the extent of the supplemental rules of graduation; maybe it would've changed her perspective on doing it if she'd known that the rest of them would have to die if she'd succeeded.

That was where Celes's sins outweighed hers. But to have done what she did (and more importantly, to have used Naegi-kun's feelings for her as a means of setting him up as a scapegoat)...it's something that sits wrong with Kirigiri, and it's not something she's going to easily let go anytime soon.

And maybe that shows as she approaches Maizono with her Houndour in tow — bold, no-nonsense strides that take her right up to Maizono with little fanfare — and it's then that she sees the whole picture: the injured bird, the looming pink rabbit, and Maizono in fits.

Maizono in fits is never a good thing.]

Maizono Sayaka-san.

[No "hello", Kirigiri? No, of course not.]

[blutundeisen]

Oi, oi, oi!

[This guy's pacing back and forth, growling a little with annoyance. A Starly is perched comfortably atop his head, fluttering his wings slightly to keep his balance whenever the man he's using as a seat makes a particularly sharp about-face.]

So it keeps coming to my attention that none of you people out here in the wonderful world of Pokémon know anything about my Awesome Self! Well kesesese! [Believe it or not, that odd hissing sound is a laugh.] I'll do you all the favor of telling you my life story, which is super-cool and not at all pathetic! Right, Fritz?

[The Starly extends his wings with a pleased chirp, claws tightening lightly in the man's hair.]

For those who haven't heard of me, I'm the Mighty Prussia! Worship me! Praise me on your knees!

DAMMIT, JADE.

[hagyjbeken]

[That voice.

That laugh.

There is only one person she knows of that would be that obnoxious and loud about not being known. Thus the brunette can't help but wander towards the source of the voice, a Ponyta following at her side.]

Mighty, huh? Last time I checked you weren't all high and mighty about anything. But, hey, maybe someone will take some pity on you in this place.

Kick Buttowski | Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil

[nostuntdouble]

[His feet were dragging as he trudged around Cherrygrove.

He can't find a bike shop.

He can't get a skateboard.

The weird animal following him around can't even really help with stunts! You can't ride a Zangoose, even if you're almost half it's size.]

This place is stupid. What kind of town doesn't have a bike shop? Or a mall? Or...or anything?! This town doesn't have anything!

[It took a few minutes to get the clerk's attention in the sorry excuse for a store in this town, and then a few more to get him to stop insisting he go back home. That you're only supposed to go on Pokemon adventures when you're ten.

He is ten, thank you very much! But even then, all he got was a handful of Pokeballs.

Which he wasted trying to catch a Pidgey, but he was apparently a little too vigor with his throwing and just ended up pelting the poor bird with it. That was probably a laugh for anyone who got to see it.]

[blue_distance]

There's no pool, either.

[time to commiserate]

Mark Allan | The Spectactular Spiderman

[moltenman]

[A young man of about eighteen named Mark Allan, was visibally annoyed and a little worried. Considering the last place he was at was locked up at the Vault in Ryker's Island he was downright suspicious how he got here in the first place... A female Pansear just walked ahead of him while he thought about the situation.]

Oogami Sakura | Dangan Ronpa | SPOILERS

[notsodelicateflower]

[It was strange, really. Remembering your own death, as if it were a dream. Really, it certainly seemed that way when she woke up in the strange bed. The strangeness continued with "Mom" and the little blue bipedal dog, but it was friendly enough. Tea was definitely the best option here. She could clear her head and figure out what to do next.]

Golbez | Final Fantasy IV/Dissidia

[cladinthedark]

[It had been practically a blow to the gut for Golbez to hear someone referring to themselves as his mother. He elected to humor the poor, obviously deranged woman and accepted the device and small, apparently blind dragon that she had said belonged to him with courtesy and hidden bewilderment.

Once outside, he took a few moments to familiarize himself with the landscape. A small, peaceful hamlet, there was nothing here that seemed to pose a threat to himself or his new... pet. This was good, he could use a break after what he'd just been through.

He'd begun to explore when he saw something utterly bizarre out of the corner of his eye. Specifically, for a brief moment he thought he saw himself. Turning towards the figure, however, revealed that there were several differences between him and her, most obviously, well... the fact that the other person was a her. Also the scar on her face and the outfit, plus her hair was, on reflection, a bit lighter than his.

Still, an astounding likeness. Enough so that after a few seconds he realized he'd been staring for far too long, and turning away at this point would just be rude. So he decided on the next best course of action. Stroll up and initiate a conversation.

... Something he was kind of terrible at when he wasn't doling out bits of wisdom or dramatic speeches, honestly.]

Greetings. Are you a native to this place?

[... Okay, he really hoped that hadn't made him sound insane.]

[OOC: Alright, I don't know if you're canon-familiar, but Golbez here is an enormous (like seriously eight feet tall according to Dissidia), bulky, long-silver-haired badass mountain of a man who is a super stoic and almost never socially interacts unless he's doing something important. This has lead me and my friends who are familiar with both canons to create the running joke that in an alternate universe, he's Sakura's father.

Yes I know it's a weird reason to throw him at you but I just couldn't resist.]

whoops I forgot my steve account was LJ and didn't want to make a new one

[moonlightsonata]

[It's some kind of B.O.W.... maybe. She thinks so, because that tends to be the go-to explanation when new forms of life pop up out of nowhere to follow her around. But this one, it doesn't seem hostile, in fact--]

[--it just cooed at her, and landed on her head. It's a blue bird of some kind, with white, fluffy wings, and it's knocked her hat off and is happily sitting there like it owns the spot it's now occupying.]

[Maybe it actually was an animal. It's not like she was a zoologist, and the thing certainly didn't appear to be exploding into tentacles and fangs. And hey, it was pretty cute. Really cute, actually, like a stuffed toy. So she reaches out cautiously to touch, maybe pet it, but looks around for people to ask about this strange, new animal. Or potentially (though looking unlikely at this point) dangerous biohazard. Whichever.]

Timmy Turner / Fairly Odd Parents

[pinkhatwishing]

[Timmy was sick of walking and to be honest the whole thing was a little overwhelming. Despite looking Cosmo and Wanda were no where to be found and in place was his pokemon Cleffa that followed him around. He had to admit it was pretty awesome to have the pokemon follow him around but at the same time not having Cosmo and Wanda was a major bummer for him in the strange place. He sat down on the ground with a sigh, Cleffa bouncing around him with excitement]

This stinks.

Timmy Turner / Fairly Odd Parents

[crackpotcrocker]

[Crocker finally had enough; the man could no longer take being inside any longer! He was going to go crazy! Well, crazier. Changing into his Rocket uniform and mask, Crocker and Growlithe head out towards Ilex Forest. However, a familiar voice makes Denzel's ears twitch. Could it be? No, it couldn't possibly - Turning around in the direction of the voice.] It is! Turner.
