Elliot spun around quickly, backing away from Gumi as if she had threatened him with violence. He grit his teeth and physically slapped the air as if waving off Gumi's suggestion. "I do not do magic tricks!" he snapped. His head turned to Emily when she asked if he was all right. He paused for a moment to stare, long enough that he had calmed slightly. Not that he was fully calm yet by far.

"What is this to all of you? An adventure? A... A children's epic tale? You are all as hopelessly lost as I am, kidnapped and imprisoned. I promised myself that I would never again--" Elliot stopped himself, exhaling loudly. It seemed he had almost said too much. "Some of you believe we're among fiction come to life? That is... That is lunacy, plainly. We are not fantasy come to life. We are trapped. Don't you understand? So few of you are taking this seriously...!"

After saying his piece, the boy looked away from the others, almost as if he wanted to deter the attention he had just brought upon himself.

"No. I don't see this as a game." Krystal said. "I see this as something I wish would end. I was dragged from my family back on Saurius... my husband... my one year old son... I need to get back home. So unless anyone else finally decides to stop goofing off with this "Blue Team" or "convention" or mental asylum (she shot a look at Starscream as she said that), Elliot and I will find a way out on our own. This is not captivity by anything, but an occurrence that has trapped all of us here." Krystal said this with high authority in her voice. She had heard enough from Sarge about Blue Team, enough from Gumi about a convention, and enough from Starcscream... Well, period.

Zero Two looked at Chibi-Robo. This was interesting. It was like a tiny version of a FranXX. The Globosa* of Franxx. However, Chibi-Robo was autonomous.

She stared with interest. “Hmm... You’re interesting... The Plantations don’t have anything like you.” she said

@anyone

"Well, since this little fellow over here doesn't really do the talking, I suppose I'll have to be the one doing the name-saying. This is Swindle, and I am Starscream...

... did I ruin the aesthetic of his silence?"


@Minerva @ThatAverageGuy

Nathan frowned at the armoured man, his brows furrowing.

"Commanding officer my ass, you cheap Master Cheif knockoff." Nathan scoffed, he put his gun to his side- his grip still firm.

He was still cautious of Starscream, he looked around spotting so many people.

"How the hell did I get here?" Nathan questioned.

@Crow @Raptor Jesus @ThatAverageGuy @Atomic Knight @anyone

"By how I remember things, my Groundbridge malfunctioned and lead me here as opposed to my intended destination," Starscream explains, "however, it seems that everyone came here via various different ways, so the answer of simply one or two individuals might not be the answer you are looking for."

@Space_Candy @Otto @Siege
 
"Wait, so superhero work in your world is like typical business? Easier to understand than a kingdom in charge of video games..." As Sheila walked off to deal with a trigger-happy teen, Gakupo turned back to the girls in their little corner. "You all faring well? I know things are...tense at the moment." He was nervous at the moment, but grateful he hadn't screamed wgen the gun fired. That'd just be embarrassing. And he was also worried for his sister. Gumi hated being like this in public...the last thing he wanted to do was draw attention to her.

@Josh @York @Takumi @Gummi Bunnies

"This is just a lot to handle, I think some of them went crazy." Meiji replied. Glancing to Stardust who huffed and almost marched over to Elliot to give him a piece of her mind, but the witch grabbed Stardust's arm to keep her from getting any closer to the chaos and shook her head.

"Meiji let go! That guy was mean to Gumi! I may not know Gumi as well as others but he didn't have to ye--" she stopped, glancing to Krystal for a moment.

"No. I don't see this as a game." Krystal said. "I see this as something I wish would end. I was dragged from my family back on Saurius... my husband... my one year old son...

"Sarge tried that door over there earlier, that keypad thing next to it doesn't seem to work, but you can try." Stardust spoke, slightly distracted from her initial rant by pointing to the door.

@Yun Lee @Raptor Jesus @Atomic Knight @Siege
 
"See, that wasn't so hard, now was it, Nathan?" a grin forms on Starscream's face, before he turned to Sarge.

"And when was this nutjob Commanding Officer?"

@Space_Candy @Raptor Jesus @ThatAverageGuy

“Audible gasp!”
Sarge shouted as the decepticon questioned his authority. “I’ll have you know that I’m the Commanding Officer of the Red Team in Blood Gulch Outpost Alpha, and I graduated at the top of my class in military college.

...which may or may not be due to everyone else dying in horrific accidents.”

Grif meanwhile only snickered at Starscream’s comment, even going as far as to nod in agreement with the statement. “Yeah, I find it hard to believe that they put him in charge of anything either.”

“Put a sock in it, numbnuts.”

“Permission to deny that command?”

“Permission denied.”
Nathan frowned at the armoured man, his brows furrowing.

"Commanding officer my ass, you cheap Master Cheif knockoff." Nathan scoffed, he put his gun to his side- his grip still firm.

He was still cautious of Starscream, he looked around spotting so many people.

@Crow @Raptor Jesus @ThatAverageGuy @Atomic Knight @anyone
“Woah! Don’t disrespect Master Chief like that!” Grif piped up, sounding genuinely offended by Nathan’s remark. “Master Chief has a higher rank than like, anyone in the military. The dude’s like a god amongst men.”

The steam golem looked around rapidly as the commotion started by Nathan began to worsen. He trotted over to the space in-between Nathan and Sarge, his large body acting as a wall between the two. "PLEASE INHIBIT YOUR HOSTILITIES," exclaimed Blitzcrank, "OR COUNTERMEASURES WILL BE EMPLOYED."




Acknowledging Sarge's comment, Blitzcrank responded with, "TO PREVENT DISASTER, I REQUEST THAT EVERYONE HOLSTER THEIR WEAPONS FOR THE TIME BEING. THANK YOU."

Meanwhile, Viktor merely watched, disgusted by the prevalence of human emotion causing problems.
“I don’t take orders from robots! If anything, you should put away your weaponry, ya overgrown piece of scrap metal.” Sarge rebuttaled, obviously not taking the machine’s threats too seriously.

Why couldn’t the robots here just be supportive and cooperative like Lopez?
Nathan glared at the large thing in front of him but obliged- putting the gun back into his sweater. He looked up at Starscream, puzzled at the entire thing.

"This is fucked up." He said as he stood up, dusting himself off.

@Crow @Raptor Jesus @Otto @Atomic Knight @ThatAverageGuy
“Understatement of the fucking century right there.” Grif replied dryly.​

 
"This is just a lot to handle, I think some of them went crazy." Meiji replied. Glancing to Stardust who huffed and almost marched over to Elliot to give him a piece of her mind, but the witch grabbed Stardust's arm to keep her from getting any closer to the chaos and shook her head.

@Yun Lee @Raptor Jesus @Atomic Knight @Siege

Finally! Useful information. Krystal looked at the keypad... yup. It was broken... maybe it just needed a little jolt of power. Grabbing her staff, Krystal touched the keypad with it and sent a jolt of energy through the circuits to see what would happen.

@Takumi @Everyone Else
 
"Pssssshhhhhh. That guy's just upset because we're all locked in here! It's cabin fever, I think."

Gumi smiled at Stardust and Meiji as if nothing happened. "You know, it's not like every day you find out Darth Vader and Kirby are real. Poor guy is probably freaking out!"

@Takumi
 
Elliot spun around quickly, backing away from Gumi as if she had threatened him with violence. He grit his teeth and physically slapped the air as if waving off Gumi's suggestion.

Nathan's fingers twitched, a sharp pain went through his head as he woke. He was on a cold floor, the chill going through his jacket and into his skin.
He hissed out of the pain and stiffness he had as he sat up. He opened his eyes, blinking the blurriness out of his vision. Nathan's eyes landed on several different people. No. Beings. He crawled backwards, hitting the wall behind him.

Nathan spotted people in armour, people with skin colours hues of greens and purples, 8 foot fucking robots- he was terrified, he patted around his sweater to find his handgun pulling it out and aiming it in front of him.

"Who the fuck are all of you? What are you?" He screamed, trying to sound intimidating but, his voice cracked and showed the fear he had.

"......................"

For once, Gumi had gone silent. She listened quietly as Elliot said his piece, a neutral expression on her face. No, not neutral...numb. She had gone cold.

"Gumi!" Gakupo rushed to his little sister. He wasn't surprised that she had managed to piss someone off, but for it to be Elliot, and for him to suddenly burst out like that...it was a total surprise to him. "Come on, let's move over here..." Hoping to keep Gumi out of any potential crossfire (quite a few people here seemed eager to fight when hostility reared its head, like that young man against the wall), Gakupo ushered her back to the area he'd been sitting at. Attempting to save face, he smiled at the group. "I, uh...suppose not all of us are well equipped to handle situations like this..."

Gumi sat at her brother's side, face still in the same numb expression. It was almost like she had turned into a completely different person. In a way...she had. some of the things Elliot said resonated with her, forced her to remember things she didn't want to. A person she didn't want to. And it was forcing her to put two and two together in a way she'd unconsciously not wanted to at all. This...it couldn't be what had happened to her, could it? She didn't want to believe it, and yet it seemed the most logical conclusion. And now, the one girl she didn't want to think about was the only thing she could think about. And she had no idea what to do.

"Nice to see that I'm not the only one seeing this as a discount mental asylum..."

Starscream's optics briefly shifted to Kirby, as he displayed brief fear on his face.

"Mostly, anyways!"

Starscream noticed Nathan, pointing his gun around. The sight of the frightened human gave him a bit of entertainment.

"What can I say, discount mental asylum. You humans, always so quick to point your little pea shooters around whenever you find anything remotely threatening."

@Atomic Knight @Space_Candy

@ThatAverageGuy
Nathan's eyes widened, fear striking his core. He moved back again out of instinct, pointing his gun at the giant metal thing, sweat forming on his brow.

"What the fuck are you!? Stay away!!" He yelled, this time sounding somewhat fierce.

@Crow @Atomic Knight

Shelia put one last Cigarette In her mouth before responding.
"Gakupo, right? Yeah, I'm not a schmuck. It's a job. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it. Being bad is good. I just not sure you're going to get this; Where I'm from, How can I explain this? See, the super scientist, super villains, super heroes , and secret agent game? It's....."
She paused.
"How familiar are you with unions and the concept of "paying dues. "


"This is why you don't start talking about multiverse theory. Someone always doesn't take it well..."
Grumbling softly, Dr. Mrs. slowly walked towards Elliot
"We all want to go home, trust me. We all just need to keep a level head and...."



Almost on cue, someone had to pull a gun. Taking another deep breath, she turned to the boy.

"Can you please put the gun down? No of us know what's going on, okay?'

Pausing, the Doctor rolled her eyes she look the young man up and down.

"Besides, do you even know how to use that? Wait? Is the safety still on?"
Nathan turned his attention to the girl, annoyed he shot the ceiling.

"Yes, I know how to use it." He glared, before turning back to his current issue.
"Wait, so superhero work in your world is like typical business? Easier to understand than a kingdom in charge of video games..." As Sheila walked off to deal with a trigger-happy teen, Gakupo turned back to the girls in their little corner. "You all faring well? I know things are...tense at the moment."

@Josh @York @Takumi @Gummi Bunnies
Nathan was now just struck with confusion, people taunting him and prying him. He was getting overwhelmed, and would not let his guard down, nor his gun.

"Why the fuck do you want to know?" He sneered at the so-called 'Starscream', he looked around at the others.

"Who the fuck are you people?"

@Atomic Knight @Raptor Jesus @ThatAverageGuy @Kaykay @Josh
Emily Hayes
@Atomic Knight @Space_Candy @Yun Lee @Gummi Bunnies @Kaykay @Others(?)

Emily frowned, evidently having noticed that Elliot had withheld himself from saying something. However, besides that, she did at least partially understand where he was coming off; if she were to be completely honest with herself, the place did almost seem like a madhouse at first glance. With robots, humans, and everything above and beyond or in between. Quite frankly if it wasn't for her experiences on Alledia, she wouldn't have been taking this so well herself.

Nonetheless, unlike Elliot, Emily decided to at least try and be a little more optimistic, to keep her mind in a place that wouldn't cause things to further unravel. So, when she spoke, she tried to do so in a firm, yet... Gentle tone, in an effort to keep things together as much as she could.

cSASUdI.png


"I know how crazy things look right now... But... We have to keep it together as much as possible." She said, pausing a little as she eyed another newcomer, who was quite on edge actually when he first arrived.

"Nathan", as he called himself. She kept watch on him out of the corner of her eye as she continued, hoping that she wouldn't hhave to intervene in the case things got too out of hand. For the time being it seemed things were... Relatively okay at least, though.

"If we want to make it out of this... We can't let what's happening right now get to us..." She added.

Although, it was just a few moments after that when she noticed something was off about Gumi. She had suddenly gone quiet, but... Fortunately she seems to have returned to her usual self. This time though, Emily didn't avoid Gumi outright, and instead gave her a small pat on the shoulder before she turned back to Gakupo, a concerned look crossing her face.

"Should we... Look for a way out as well?" She asked, gesturing towards a few of the group members who seemed to be fiddling with the door again.

She was beginning to think that staying cooped up in this place would spell disaster for them all eventually, given the tensions that were coarsing throughout the group every so often.​

Blitzcrank stared at the sergeant of the Red Team and said, blankly, "I DO NOT CARRY WEAPONS." Shortly after, Viktor stepped in, taking minor offense in Sarge's criticism of his work. "Overgrown piece of scrap metal, you say? Hm, I see that you have fallen victim to inferior thinking much like former peers," he said, "Appearance does not mean everything. This is no ordinary machine, I assure you."

"Regardless, if you will not listen to Blitzcrank, you should listen to me. Holster your weapon. The young man has already done so. Am I wrong to think that soldiers have a sense of honor?"
Viktor continued, his voice calm, yet firm.​

Elliot didn't seem concerned that he had elicited such a reaction in Gumi. yet he still avoided both her gaze and Gakupo's. He sulked and tried to keep his distance from the boy with a gun, though Krystal was able to pull his attention toward her. He still looked sour, though that was probably his natural look. "No one would be as surprised as me to hear me say... I can work with you if you so desire." He tried to hide it, but there was a level of respect in his voice.

Krystal's attempt at opening the door via electricity did little more than cause a light show throughout the room. The lights malfunctioned for a moment but otherwise, nothing occurred. Elliot placed his hand against the door. "Normally, I possess the ability to... open tears in space. The extent of my abilities is numerous, and yet here..." Elliot grit his teeth as if in pain. "If someone has taken my power from me, they will pay very dearly."

The boy's hands glowed a bright blue and the door shimmered. It seemed like something might occur, but all Elliot could make happen was a light show of his own. He groaned and slammed his body against the door in anger. "Damn this to hell!"

@Raptor Jesus @Yun Lee @York @Josh @Gummi Bunnies @Kaykay @Siege @Space_Candy @Everyone
 
Nathan stared at the scene clearly shocked.

"What the fuck?" He muttered, looking at the other boys glowing hands.

"Why doesn't Star-whatever just like punch the door or some shit?" Nathan questioned, staring up at the large metal man,

@Atomic Knight @Everyone @Crow
 
Gakupo watched Elliot and Krystal work on the door, and sighed. "I don't think anything we do will help," he admitted to Emily. "Unless..." He looked at Gumi...

...who had already gone to the door.

"That girl will be the death of me..."

BAM! BAM! Gumi had taken her place at the door, banging on it with her fists. "HEEEEEEY!!!!! HEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!" She smiled at the two, seeming to have no issues with Elliot at all. "I can do this for three days straight and not get tired! I bet soon someone will hear me!"

BAM! BAM! BAM!

"HHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Starscream lowers his body, his face closer to Nathan's.

"Do I look like one of those muscleheaded Wreckers to you? You can't just solve every problem by punching anything in your way, you know?" Starscream retorts, mildly angered before returning to a grin as he raises himself back up in a standing position.

"But if you truly do insist that I test the durability of our current obstacle, let's see how it fares against explosive action. Be sure to grab some - what do you humans call it - popcorn and pizza for the fireworks."

Starscream aimed a hand-attached rocket launcher at the door, preparing to fire it, likely until someone persuaded him to halt.

For once Starscream had a good idea. Krystal quickly grabbed Gumi and Elliot and got out of the way of the blast radius. "Okay, out of the way, have at it!" Krystal said to Starscream.

Peter Quill

Peter decided that he didn't really want to interact and went to go sit next to the little robot near him. He had a box of Twinkies that he had on him from home. Where he had kept it was a mystery, but that was okay. " So, where are you guys from?" He asked, unwrapping and eating a Twinkie.

@Minerva @ThatAverageGuy @Anyone
 
Nathan watched the man sit down, he seemed like the most normal person here.

"I'm from Oregon, in a small town called Arcadia Bay." He answered, moving to sit next to both of them.

"What about you?"

Peter Quill

Quill hadn't really been paying attention to kid and he turned when he mentioned that.

" Was from Missouri before I was kidnapped as a kid. Been around a few places since then. Became a bounty hunter. Peter Quill is my name. Did you mention that your name was Nathan earlier? Want a twinkie?"

"I see." So it was clear, time and space had shifted and had sent Vader some place entirely unknown to him. Though even that could bring some possibilities in its own right.

However he turned his focus back to Titus. "I imagine you will find some discrepancies when it comes to time and space. The date of which you speak of is unfamiliar to me, as it will no doubt be to the others trapped here. What we need is a cause for all of this and snuff it so that we can return to whence we came."

@CrunchyCHEEZIT @Archmage Jeremiah @Yun Lee @Raptor Jesus @Takumi
Comparatively, Samus made nary a sound while she followed Titus as he paced, her gait deft even while she walked. To his question, Samus shook her head. "The construction of this place is unrecognizable,"



"The Imperium of Man you speak of is unfamiliar to me, also," Samus added, "But if this encounter is of the same nature as my first encounter with Kirby, the answers we seek will come in time," she concluded with a brief gesture towards the pink balloon with legs in question.
View attachment 2587

Titus glanced in the direction of the small pink creature wobbling about, assuming it to be some exotic pet. Though, when Vader stepped in with his analysis, the space marine stared him down, pondering his words. In all his centuries of service, the captain did not encounter anything that would shatter his concept of what is 'real'. Even in the face of heretics, mutants and aliens that scramble to pick away at the unprotected worlds of the Imperium, the Ultramarine does not let his will be so easily shattered by their strange technology and wicked magics - as a Space Marine should. There is nothing in the galaxy that could hope to outsmart a bolt and a chainsword, for they are the ultimate communicators of the Emperor's will and fury. Titus sees himself as an instrument of that will, orchestrating the defense and protection of Mankind against the horrors of the stars.

But this. This was something that prompted the marine to question his senses, pondering if he had actually fallen to one of the abomniable daemons aboard the Inquisitor's ship and is actually standing in some bizarre, twisted perception of the afterlife. It seemed as if the Emperor would not let the humble captain rest so easy, however, because this was most certainly real, and he was most certainly a long ways away from what was comfortable.

Disconnected from the Imperium. Freed from the clutches of accusation upon his name, but yet so far from the light of the Astronomican and the beacon of Ultramar.

So far from the truth.

". . .So, it's true, then. I am alone here?"


Titus asked nobody with a hollow voice, before shaking his head and turning to Samus and Vader.

View attachment 2586

". . .Perhaps not. You two seem as confused as I, so we are in the same predicament. I don't know where you come from and whether you serve the Emperor or something else, but it seems we're all forced to expand our horizons on this day," the captain spoke in a calm, reasoned voice. This is a challenge he must overcome - the first step being to put aside the hatreds fused into his mind. The mountain rest a hand on his chest-plate, introducing himself.

It sounded like he wasn't used to introductions.

"I am Captain Titus, of the Ultramarines 2nd Company. You are. . .?"
