What if your characters suddenly... 2

"He's probably hiding in a corner somewhere. I'll go find the coward." Zerrer resumed his normal form, grew wings, and leaped through a window, shattering it. He flew up into the air. Obviously he didn't know the meaning of incognito.
----------------------------------------------

David had no luck. He could not find anybody who could spare him money, so he gave up and called Alex.
David: I'm done with my homework.
Alex: I'll be there in a few minutes. *Click*

((She really liked the idea of me putting her in an RP))

Kay suddenly burst outside, screaming her head off. "WHAT THE HELL? WHAT THE HELL? WHAT THE HELL?"

Closely following her was KC11, who was now in her dragon form. KC11 was also screaming her head off.

"WHAT THE HELK? WHAT THE HELK? WHAT THE HELK?"

Both dragon and girl suddenly crouched down on the ground.

"Okay Kay." said Kay. "You've just been staying up a bit late. That's all. You're seeing-and hearing-things."

"It's just a dream, it's just a dream." said KC11. "If I click my heels and say 'there's no place like home' several times, I'll be back in Draycon Valley!"

Both paused. KC clicked her heels. Then, both raised there heads.

"YOU'RE STILL THERE!"

"I'M STILL HERE!"

"NOOOOOO!!!!!"

Alex showed up at David's house a few minutes later, the same time Zerrer flew out of the sky.

Alex: Agh! Who's he? Why does he have wings?
David: Um....
Zerrer: I am Zerrer Kov'ag, creation of that coward over there.
David: Hey..
Alex: Zerrer? From the book David is writing?
Zerrer: I suppose so.
David: Yeah, I lied. It wasn't my homework I was doing. I was tracking him down.
Alex: You lied to me!?
David: Umm... *Winces* Yes...
Zerrer: We need to find a way to get me back where I belong!
David: Just go back the way you came.
Zerrer: ...
Alex: ...
David: Nah, that won't work. It can't be that simple.
Alex: Nothing's that simple...
David: What I need to figure out is if anybody else had this happen.
Zerrer: Yes. Kazumaru was there.
David: Anybody else?
Zerrer: There was Kazumaru's creator..
David: Author. Not creator.
Zerrer: ..and some other girl, saying something about a goddess.
David: You two just talk while i check something. *Runs to computer, logs on and checks several accounts.*
Alex: How've you been doing?
Zerrer: Just fine, thank you.
Alex: ...
Zerrer: ...
David: *Rushes back* Kazumaru and Shaon. Shaon's character is Paranesia, goddess of illusion. Where were they?
Zerrer: At the southern-eastern peninsula of this continent.
David: Florida. Will you fly us there?
Zerrer: I can only carry one of you....

Now that's he's safely doing nothing in the middle of a field...

Somehow, inexplicably, despite all that's happened, Cirr falls asleep for three hours before being woken up by a draft coming in through the landing window.

Upon waking up, Cirr leans on the desk and scrutinises the group Skype chat so far, before typing out a response, despite Wolf and Shaon having been Not Avaliable for quite some time.

[5:02:32 AM] Cirr says: Yes I'm here someone respond now please anyone
[5:02:40 AM] Cirr says: weird stuff is happening
[5:02:56 AM] Cirr says: like in that thread in the archives of Blackstar

Argh why does this have to happen to ME

After staring desperately at the screen for a few seconds, Cirr frustratedly rips out the plug to his computer from the wall socket. Wait. That was a stupid idea. ...I'll deal with it later!

After throwing on a coat and shoes, and walking fast to the middle of a nearby field, he sees 501 staring up at the night sky, motionless.

"Oh, hey, human. Don't you have a name or something?"

Cirr hesitates. don't give him your name don't give him your name "Yeah, it's... uh... Baron. My name is Baron."

501 tilts his head to the side, much as a curious bird might. "Huh. Strange name. Anyway, why am I out here again?"

Cirr places his hand to his forehead. "Listen, 501. There's something I have to tell you. You're..."

501 leans closer.

"You're a fict... a victim of a prototype Neomeme time displacement array! I know this because that's why I'm also here. Baron " think of something argh " Named at your service!"

501 tilts his head a little further. "Baron Named? ...Well, I'm 501, but you knew that already. Tell me, Baron, I was... wait. I can't remember what I was doing." 501 clamps his claws to the side of his head. "I can't remember what I was doing! It was so clear and distinct only moments ago!"

Cirr nods a little too eagerly. "Side effect of the, um, temporal... readjust... ment... thing. So, um, you can fly, right? Can you, I dunno, carry me--" oh yes because I'd love to be shredded in midair "Wait. Maratix has really advanced warp stuff, right? Any short-range stuff? Like, across continents and such."

501 eyes Cirr warily. With 501's eyes being a constant blank and slightly shiny glowing yellow, this doesn't cause much change in his fixed expression. "...Yeees, but it's cutting edge. Bleeding edge, even. Mostly prototypical. Far too new to be used safely. I mean, I'm mostly metal, and you're mostly meat. It's incredibly likely only one person out of two people will step out at the other end of the tunnel through Bluespace, and, unfortunately for you, it tends to be me."

Cirr nods thoughtfully, adding the odd "uh-huh" here and there. "What if you had two of them?"

501 looks taken aback. "Er, well, I guess it'd work for sure, but the costs-"

Cirr waves his hands. "Forget about the costs! You already have two of them!" He then stops, looks slightly shocked and annoyed and pretends nothing has happened.

501 edges closer. "...how do you know I have two short-range vector clamps on me, Baron?"

oh damn think fast think fast

"Err... because you just said!"

501 pauses and shrugs. "...Well, you're right on that one. But let me tell you this now, Baron. I don't trust you. In fact, I don't think Baron's even your name! But, okay, here's a short-range vector clamp. ...Oh, and it's programmed to self-destruct if I transmit a remote signal."

Cirr nods and flinches slightly at the last thing 501 has to say. "Okay okay okay, how does it work?" ...A REAL FUNCTIONING VECTOR CLAMP?! THIS IS AWESOME!!

"Well--"

"Wait, don't tell me." If I could somehow magic 501 into existance maybe I can make this doodad work by force of pure will alone!

"...Why are you staring at that thing like you're trying to use it through force of pure will alone?"

Cirr ignores 501 and, inexplicably, he suddenly and wholly understands the device he holds in his hands. With the world roaring and wooshing around him, Cirr suddenly finds himself where Shaon and Wolf are, a few random leaves falling to the ground around him.

Hands clutched to the vector clamp, eyes slightly glazed and staring forwards and unfocused, all muscles tensed, Cirr slowly opens his mouth.

"...so... awesome... no words..."

A few seconds later, 501 teleports in in a much similar way, staggering and waving his arms about. "Where am I? Why are there what I presume to be books everywhere?! WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!!"

Cirr slowly falls forward and flat onto his face, still frozen in a mixture of both shock and awe at experiencing Bluespace warp travel. "mmf mmmf! mm teef!"

501 looks over to Kazumaru. "Oh, finally, a vaguely familiar face! Labguy, where are we? What's happening? ...Did you bring me here?"

Zerrer:...

Alex: That's exactly why he should stay! You might drop him, and then you will die also!
David:Grr.. But you might drop her, and then i'll have no inspiration!
Zerrer:...
Alex: Okay, you win. If anybody responds to this topic on this site I'll call you. Here's my cell.
Zerrer: It's settled then?
David: I guess so.
Zerrer grabs David and flies into the air.

Shaon · Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2008 11:50 am Post subject:

Time went by quite quickly.

All Shaon could do was blink as a random being and 501 appeared.

"... Great. I should just pawn you guys off on A -- sorry, Cookie."

She stood up, dusting off her shirt, and walked towards the exit.

"Come on, time to head off somewhere to sleep."

Zerrer · Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2008 12:24 pm Post subject:

Zerrer and david were flying when Alex's phone rang.
David: Hello?
Alex: Someone called and said that he saw who you were looking for.
David: Who was it?
Alex: Luke.
David: Okay. Tell him he should look for anything else abnormal.
Alex: Okay *Click*

((So I'm assuming that David and Alex have posted a topic asking if this has happened to anyone else?))

Kay and KC ran into the house.

"Okay." said Kay quickly. "I'm going to try and get you back into your world. I think that if I roleplay you, you will be sucked back into your world to do your action."

"What does roleplay mean?" asked KC.

"It means... well, you know how sometimes you used to pretend you were a squirrel when you were younger?" asked Kay. "It's kinda like that. Only in this case, I'm pretending to be you."

KC scratched her head. "I think I kinda get it.... but why do you have to pretend to be me if I exist?"

Kay sighed. "I don't know! All I know is that you need to go back to your world before my parents find out there's an easily pissed off dragon shapeshifter in the house!"

"I'M NOT EASILY PISSED OFF!" Yelled KC.

Kay rolled her eyes and ran into the computer room, shutting and locking the door behind her.

"Well, what do I do?!" shouted KC through the door.

"I don't know!" yelled Kay. "Just get something to eat while I roleplay you!"

Quickly, Kay typed on the blackstar forum. She had KC doing a simple action-flying about the Dojo in search of prey. She typed up a short post and hit send.

A message came up on the screen.

"Character not found."

"Character not found?" thought Kay. Of course. The server couldn't find KC in its world, and therefor couldn't show her doing the action.

"Wait.... there's a topic here..." said Kay, looking over the rest of the forum. "Looks like other people are having the same problem as me."

She quickly typed up a message stateing thus:

Hello all.

My name is Kay. I am having the same problem that is mentioned in the post. My character, KC11, has suddenly appeared and is currently raiding my fridge. If anyone can help me send her back, please go to Valken Valley, California.

(No, Valken Valley is not a real place, as far as I'm aware. I'm just saying I live in Valken Valley for purposes.)

Kazumaru · Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2008 3:38 pm Post subject:

Kazumaru waved to 501. "'lo, crazy robot thing. 'lo, guy beside crazy robot thing."

Wolf dashed off a sloppy Polish salute to the two newcomers. "Hi, 501. Hi, Cirr. Must say, I didn't expect to hallucinate you two." He stood up.

Kazumaru scratched at his neck. "So... uh... have you two seen anyone else?"

Zerrer · Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2008 4:11 pm Post subject:

((That's exactly what we did.))
David got another phone call while flying over Texas.
Alex: Someone called Kay had the same thing happen.
David: Where?
Alex: Valken Valley, California
David: Zerrer, start going west.
Zerrer: Yes, sir *Putting as much contempt as possible into his words.*

Swix · Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2008 5:25 pm Post subject:

Swix was up when she shouldn't have been again, ie in the middle of the night when everyone else was in bed. She was reading some of the more recent posts in the roleplay areas of Blackstar, but when she turned around she nearly jumped out of her skin. What had been air directly behind her now housed a figure with a pair of large, half furled bat like wings and a draconic tail.

"Arh!" Swix squeaked, before clamping her hands over her mouth "Mm mmmph mmmp mmph..."

"Okay" said the figure, looking at her with slitted yellow eyes "I know I look kinda scary, but there's no need to scream like that"

"...Blue?" Swix asked, after removing her hands from her face 'Please tell me no-one heard that'

"Yep. Hey, you're that girl-" "Swix" Swix interrupted before Blue could get anything else out.

"Swix?" Blue repeated with a curious expression on her face "I'm sure it was something else last time. So... I take it I'm in the 'Real World' again?"

Swix nodded, over the shock of having a character she usually only saw in her dreams standing in front of her for the second time. "Yep, errr, are you the only one here?"

Blue looked around the completely empty room with an exaggerated air "Well, I can't see anyone else around" she answered, I can't believe this person is my 'creator', what a silly question to ask me "Besides, how would I know?"

"Uh, right" Swix answered "In that case, go sit in the living room and... watch t. v. ... or something. Just be quiet and try to make friends with Sassy. I know she doesn't like people who wear hats but I'm not sure about people who have wings and a tail"

"... Sassy?" Blue asked, she was certain that there hadn't been anyone of that name there last time, so who was this 'Sassy?'

"Yeah, Sassy" Swix answered, rolling her eyes and pointing at the sofa in the other room "she's the dog sleeping on the furniture"

"That a pretty stupid name for a dog, you know" Blue said, forgetting her manners in the surreality of it all and causing Swix to stare at her.

"... I know, we got her from the R.S.P.C.A." the human replied, before adding "and didn't Father Mac teach you better manners than that?"

"You're right, I apologise for my comment" Blue said, bowing slightly before making her way into the living room.

Swix then turned back to the Blackstar site and checked every area of every forum until she came across Zerrers message and KC11s reply. She frantically types on the keyboard to leave her own post.

Zerrer · Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2008 5:36 pm Post subject:

Halfway to california David got another call.
Zerrer: Who is it this time?
David: I don't know. *Answers*
Alex: Someone else responded, named Swix. they said this happened before, though.
David: What character does she have?
Alex: Blue. What an odd name.
David: Ask Swix where we could meet.
Alex: I'm on it. *Click*
David: It was Alex, saying that Blue is here.
Zerrer: Who's Blue?
David: oh yeah, you never met her. She's a dragon mutant thingy.
Zerrer: Oh.

J.J. was at home, drinking a root beer and doing some light programming work on his website. Two birds in two cages decorated the corner of the room. J.J. was doing his normal routine.This became boring, so he decided to pay Blackstar a little visit. One topic popped up that was somewhat interesting.

He read the posts and scoffed. J.J. thought they were crazy, so he thought he'd be clever and let them know that he didn't believe any of them.

Then it happened.

A flash of blue occurred, followed by a loud shriek. The stench of ozone was detectable. Behind J.J.'s chair, a feathered nightmare stood over him, clacking its beak hellishly.

J.J. fainted. Ensichrys bent down. "Oh dear. This poor man has gone unconscious! I hope I didn't do this." Ensichrys looked at the bright computer screen that cast a small blue light on his face. He read J.J.'s post. "Oh my, that's MY name! But how could this child possibly know me? Where am I?"

Ensichrys read the posts above and did some more research on the rest of the forum- albeit with much difficulty due to his taloned fingers. "This is just so bizarre! This man knows everything about me! He speaks as though he were my creato-" Ensichrys' mouth dropped open. His nerveless hands let go of the mouse and keyboard. This man's username? It was none other than Chronos- his true creator.

Ensichrys was shocked beyond belief. "Is this... my creator's true form?" Ensichrys' voice was breaking. Suddenly, the dark skinned man rose, brushing long, wavy, black hair from his face. "Ensichrys?!"
