JTTM: We Are (All) Travelers

[VitaVitaAR]

Anno was only partially paying attention to what the AI was saying at this point. She was more focused on the two people covered in blood at this point, with wide-eyed shock. They... well, they didn't look injured, given that they were standing up and talking, but it was more blood covering them then Anno had ever seen in her life. How were they just talking like it was normal like that? How were they okay when there was so much blood?

Anno slowly edged towards one of them, the girl, and spoke.

"A-a-are you o-okay...? Y-you've... s-so... much blood..."

---

Shiki eyed the bloodied people as they rose for a moment. Though the blue in her eyes had faded, she could still perceive the lines of death. She turned away. Her head throbbed, and her eyes narrowed. By this point, she would've simply killed the AI, but it seemed that it held the key to her return to her home. It was irritating, and her headache did a lot to make it even more so. All these people around her, this situation she didn't care about, and yet was forced to involve herself in... there was no end to the depth of Ryougi Shiki's irritation.

For now, she stood silent near the panicky girl in the uniform, eyes narrowed and hands thrust into her jacket's pockets.

[Vinestar]

"I'm quite fine, thank you very much." Grey responded to the AI, Anno, and Falkon with a bemused smile, lifting up her shirt to show a wound free stomach for a brief moment. "Whatever had happened to me after the accident has healed me, I suppose. Though I will need some new clothes." The long haired woman said cheerfully while before propping herself up and balancing on two legs once more. Still, the revelation of what had happened to the group had shocked her. They were all transported onto a space faring vessel, and that the Multiverse was real. They were to fight too.

In the past, Grey had always wanted something more... fantastical than real life. She wanted to do things that weren't possible, to be a hero, to wield powers that no normal human could. And now she could scarcely believe that she was thrust in such a situation. It was much too vivid to be a dream, all her senses told her that it was real. The various individuals arranged about her- some of them were indeed characters from fiction. Others, she did not know. Still... she was able to participate in something grand.

For a moment, delusions of grandeur flitted through her head. Still... doubt soon followed. Would a previously regular college student be able enough- even with her newfound power? Why her? There were many more people that should have been able to do something. But still... She wanted to do it. Despite the risk and dangers, Grey felt that she had to do it. This was a literal chance in a lifetime... "I'll play along for now, eheh. I could go for a bit of excitement." Pausing for a moment to try to prop up her bloodied fellow, the woman introduced herself to the rest of the people while she worked. "Anyways, I'm Grey Hogane. Nice to meet you all."

[Deleted]

"The your recommend is good enough. at least we will know the options for leader." White said to NAVI when scanning started. "Suprising...." He muttered to himself when light hit him and other three people.
"I'll pass, I may have Revan's abilities but my personal opinion is that someone else leads."

He turned his attention to the bleeding people. "Is any of you unable to stand now? I can help you to get to medbay if you are unable to walk." He offered while scanning wounded with his eyes.

He noticed Noel's distress and focused on her for a short moment. "If you are on the mission, learn about your current situation before you continue your mission. Lost soldier is doomed to fail mission unless she/he keeps her/his cool and gathers enough information to continue." He said sternly before returning his attention to wounded.

He felt how Shiki emit anger from herself with waves. "how worry some..." White though with glance.

[dblade26]

"I'm August and thanks um...Grey, right?"

The blood-soaked boy in the long black jacket said as Grey propped him up after his unfortunate face-plant. He was too busy taking in all of the sudden news to be even close to embarrassed though and far from being freaked out by any of it he thought the chance to travel a multiverse made up of all the world's fiction sounded like an interesting experience even if it might have a lot of downsides involving evil and the most unspeakable horrors ever imagined by the human mind.

"I'm not really sure how much help I'll be with the whole 'catching an incubator and fighting evil' thing but I'm...not exactly injured. I mean, I'm pretty sure I died before I showed up on this ship but honestly now that I'm here I feel better than I ever did when I was still alive back home! Oh umm, speaking of which could someone hand me that cane right over there in the blood puddle? Unless Ms.Grey feels like supporting me for however long it takes to get my legs working again."

On that note his whole body was already feeling pretty incredible, like he could run for miles if he had to as opposed to his usual state of being barely able to walk or breathe properly let alone stand.

"So if we're going after some bad guys and an incubator I'm guessing we need to do some introductions, maybe figure out what powers and stuff we have between us?"

[EldritchMermaid]

"Well... I guess you already know what powers I have... As for my identity I'm keeping those cards close to my.. chest..."

At the mention of that she absent-mindedly poked her new... assets, before mentally slapping herself.

Pervert.

[Tachi]

"I'm Rachel, it's nice to meet you all." The pyjama-clad girl muttered, her gaze focused on the medals she'd acquired. "And I guess I've got Kamen Rider OOO's Driver...not sure how much use I'll be with just these though, ehehe."

At Jon's introduction, Rachel looked up and adjusted her glasses. "Well, I guess I kind of understand that, ehehe." She stated, looking the recently-genderbent member of the group over. With the recent events, it would probably just feel odd calling her by her actual name anyway. "Um, is there anything you'd like us to call you until you feel comfortable sharing that sort of thing?"

[EldritchMermaid]

"I... I'm not sure..." She muttered. Part of her just wanted to go sit in the corner and cry.

[Rain]

"Umm, you realise that you're covered in blood?" Rain asked, having lost interest in the long explanation after stating that, yes, the captain would have to know what they were doing. That was all that she cared about. The long rambling about whatever-the-hell the AI was going on about could wait.

So she returned to a common occupation of hers: stating the obvious.

---

Reisen frantically shook her head--her, a captain? That was the worst idea! No-one ever listened to her in Eientei, and her only military experience had resulted in desertion and being stranded on a different celestial body! "I-I would rather not be a captain; anyone else would be more suitable."

[Falkon]

"Um... I'm Perrin." Perrin said, "I don't really know what my power is, but... I can feel everyone in here, if that makes any sense?"

He turned towards NAVI, although he couldn't really keep his eyes off the apparently completely-healthy-yet-blood-soaked people. "So... There's an incubator somewhere on Earth, and you expect us to just walk outside and find it? Can't you just scan for it and beam it in or something?"

[The Big Bean]

"Sure, sure, I believe that."

Bernard nodded and nodded as his friend continued to talk about the recent meteor storm over the phone. "Listen, dude, it's fun, yes, but what if those meteors hit somebody?" Bernard said. He had been walking back home when his friend called to tell him the news, so there he was, one hand inside his jacket's pockets, the other on his phone, staring at a sign and waiting for the bus. Flinching as his friend responded with "don't be a wet blanket", Bernard sighed. "Alright, alright, I got it."

However, at that very moment, something fell down from the sky right in front of Bernard. A small, blue, scarab-like creature. Bernard raised an eyebrow, momentarily blocking his friend's voice (now he was talking about Incubators or something like that) and grabbed the creature, a grin appearing on his face. "D-dude!" He yelled, interrupting his friend. "I just found a life-like replica of the Scarab from the Blue Beetle!... I know! I just found it! Dropped from the sky! It looks just like it looks in the com--"

He was interrupted, as the sound of his friend's voice was replaced by static. "Hello?" He said, looking at his phone and raising an eyebrow as the screen was displaying static too. "What the--" He looked at the other hand and noticed the Scarab was gone... and that it was walking up his arm. "HELL?!" Bernard started to shake his arm, but when it wouldn't go off, he quickly removed his jacket and shirt, throwing it on the ground. It wasn't on his arm anymore. "Where... where the hell did it go?!"

The answer came in the form of a bite, as the Scarab attached itself to Bernard's back. "HOLY SH--" He yelled, falling on his knees as he started to feel an immense ammount of pain. The Scarab was slowly attaching himself to his spine. "It can't be! It's the real deal! Holy shit, I found the real Sc--" More pain, more yells. Bernard saw some blue letters on his hand, all of them written in an odd language. "Okay, okay, I get it, it hurts, now can you please stop?!"

The Scarab didn't respond, and Bernard started to pant as blue armor started to come out of the creature on his back, spreading itself all over his body. His hands, his arms, his legs, his feet, his face... everything was slowly covered by Blue Beetle's armor. He blinked, his sight changing as suddenly, he could feel electromagnetic signals, lifeforces and more. Information blinked across his face, prompting Bernard to fall on the ground, yelling. "Somebody! Take it off! My head, it hurts! Somebody--"

But nobody came, as Bernard disappeared in a burst of green flames.

-------------------------------------

In the bridge of the Nadesico, there was a yell as even more green flames dropped the armored human there. Bernard, noticing the pain was slowly subsiding, got on his knees, patting his head. Still wearing armor... no, it has to be a dream... it has to be a dream, this... this is impossible!

That was when he heard another voice on his head. A voice coming from the Scarab. Fusion complete. Initiating analysis of surrounding area.

"Woah, woah, hold up dude! Let's just, calm down and TALK--"

Bernard didn't get an answer, as his body suddenly stood up, revealing he was standing inside a... spaceship? And there were people around him, different people, people he'd never seen before... and suddenly, even more information appeared on the screen in front of his face, as the Scarab started to analyse everyone in the room. And the worst part about it? Suddenly, Bernard could understand it all.

But while some people were identified as human, some gave off abnormal mystical and magical signs, which apparently scared the Scarab. Magical creatures detected. This is a trap! Destroy the entire area, destroy them and escape!

"Woah! NO!" Bernard yelled as his hand transformed into an energy cannon. "No destroying! Stop it! Drop it!"

Magical creatures are obviously working with the Green Lanterns. Recommended course of action: obliteration of this entire sector to cover up our tracks. Warning. I cannot access my more powerful weapons. It must be because of the magical creatures!

"Stop it NOW!" Bernard yelled as his hand turned back into normal. He let out a sigh, raising his hands. "Sorry... folks... I... uhm... I seem to... well... I'm the Blue Beetle." He said, a weak grin appearing on his face. However, said grin disappeared as he suddenly ran towards one of the metal walls and headbutted it, his head creating a hole in the wall.

This is not the exit. The place has been reconfigured by the magical creatures. Leave!

Bernard hit his head against the wall again.

Leave!

Again.

Leave!

Again.

The magical creatures have weakened me... I have lost my ability to open doors!... I must know more about them...

And with that, Bernard removed his head from the wall, spinning around. "Check, please!" He said, falling on the ground as his armor retreated into the Scarab, revealing that underneath it all was just a normal shirtless teenager. "I'm fine!... n-no need to rescue me... oh, l-look at the pretty little birds..."

[StarSketch]

NAVI managed to start answering questions while Sam was still in range. The minute the AI confirmed there was already a Medbay, she stopped waking away. Sam turned back around to face the group, watching them introduce themselves to each other. She wasn't sure what to do, or if she really wanted to help with the whole "travelling the multiverse thing" but.....

Maybe it would be fun?

Well, it's worth a shot...Sam though, walking back to the group.

"Uh...Hi." she said, looking a bit awkward as she spoke. "I'm Sam. No idea what my power is."

She then turned towards the sound of what appeared to be someone trying to ram his head into a wall.

"What the-" Sam said, watching Bernard pass out onto the floor, and drop his armor.

Guess we've got another one.... she thought, going over to Bernard.

[VitaVitaAR]

"... Y-you're... o-okay..." Anno was somewhat relieved. It seemed like both the girl and the boy who were covered in blood weren't actually injured. Which was... surprising, given just how much blood there was. For a few frightened moments, Anno wondered just where it had all come from. At least before she fell completely silent once more. She didn't know what she could even begin with in regards to this situation. The new arrival who smacked his head on the wall a bunch of times left her with even less to say. Aside from staring in mute shock at the dazed armored man.

---

Shiki raised an eyebrow at the dazed figure on the ground. Her impression of the figure was that he was a fool, at least initially. However, her eyes picked up two separate sets of lines of death... They flashed blue once more. There was something inside him. Something alive, or at least in a state that could be considered life under some definition. Perhaps 'active' was a suitable term. The mechanical thing was attached to his spine, and was also the source of the armor encasing his body. Shiki slowly raised the knife. The erratic behavior indicated that the mechanical thing could be attempting to control the man. If this meant it would attack, Shiki would cut it apart.

[Vinestar]

"I'm quite alright, eheh." Winking at the smaller girl, Grey patted August on the back as he continued talking. "Ara ara, I'm too young to be called Miss." Resisting the urge to ruffle the boy's hair, the previously human entity glanced about for the cane. Spotting it and trying to figure out how to get at the object, it came to her surprise when something black unfurled from behind her to snag and hold the staff in its coil. Tracing the dark connection to the general vicinity of her hip curve, the woman blinked with surprise. "I didn't realize I had a tail." Apparently because she had desired to help out the boy, her new limb had acted accordingly.

Gently putting the cane back into August's hands, the reincarnated Devil also found that batlike wings had sprouted from her back like a projection instead of a real limb. "...I don't want to accidentally hurt anyone..." Her cheerfulness checked by the display of other people who wasn't able to control their newfound powers, the Asian stepped back from her charge with her new shadowy attachments defensively folded about her like a cape, a sadder smile on her face. "I can't risk it..."

While the shenanigans were going on, an hunched figure was hidden in one of the darker corners of the room. Whoever it was had on a starch white school shirt, black trousers, regular walking shoes, and... a strange horned mask. "What did I get myself in this time..." The mysterious stranger known as Masked Ayumu muttered under his breath. One minute he was relaxing at the local Maskdonald's with his friends, the next he was warped to this new place full of strangers a nd anime characters.

[The Big Bean]

Bernard slowly got up, using the (quite big) hole in the wall he created as support. "Hello, folks." He said, waving to the rest of the group, visibly tired. "I swear, it may look like I'm mentally challenged, especially after..." He awkwardly glanced at the hole in the wall. "... that... b-but I can explain! My name is Bernard... and I just found this thing laying around in the ground." He turned around and pointed at the Scarab on his back.

"That's Khaji Da, from the Blue Beetle comics. It's a living alien that... uhm... kinda fused itself to my body." He then pointed at the hole. "That was him controlling my body and trying to leave. You see, he's a bit... scared of magic. One of his biggest weaknesses is magic. But, rest assured, that will not happen again, because next time, I'll be prepared, and I'll stop him before he causes any real damage... to the ship and to you folks."

He smiled, nodding. "But let me ask just one simple thing." His smile disappeared as he finally looked around, worried. "Where in the world am I?! How did I find the Scarab? How is it real?! Who are you people?!" He then calmed down once more. "There. Just wanted to... get that out of my system."

[Tachi]

Noting the sailor senshi's expression, Rachel frowned. She moved towards the magical girl and hugged her, patting her on the back gently. She wasn't sure how helpful it would be, but it was all she could think of to comfort the girl at the moment. However, something, no, someone caught her attention.

Over Jupiter's shoulder, she spotted a person on the ground in the foetal position. She called out to the blonde woman. "Um, miss? Are you alright?" From this angle, she didn't seem to be injured at least.

[EldritchMermaid]

Slowly, the new Sailor Senshi actually did break down, crying softly into the older girl's chest.

"I guess... the life I knew... it's all gone and I'm never going to get it back..."

[Mahou Moerin]

It took actually being directly interacted with for Moerin to break out of her angst coma. She'd been so convinced about what she thought was about to happen that she hadn't been paying attention to anything that had been going on. None of the explanations, or the introductions, or even how suspiciously familiar her current environment looked. But when the younger girl had questioned how she was, she suddenly realised that... She was fine. She was still... Well, not "human", but... Humanoid, she supposed. Which was good enough for the time being.

"I... I'm... I'm fine, really..." she said, getting to her feet awkwardly, an embarrassed smile on her face. "Um... So, uh... What's going on? Where are w-"

And then she noticed it. In the hand of another nearby girl. It looked like... It couldn't be, could it? Then again, she had precedent to believe it might be, what with being a magical girl herself and all... With lightning speed, she reached out and snatched up the golden pen that Jon had been holding.

"Oh... Oh my, this is... It really can't be, but maybe... Ooh..." She twirled the pen about, eyeing it from every possible angle. At the very least, if it wasn't what she thought it was it was a very well made replica. Still, there was one way to find out...

"Hey, could you do me a favour?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with fangirlish glee as she tossed the pen back to its owner. "Could you... Could you raise it into the air and yell "Jupiter Power, Makeup!"? I just... Want to test something, eheheh~"

[EldritchMermaid]

Slowly, she disentangled herself and managed to fumble the catch, before picking the pen up off the floor.

Looking a bit sheepish, she slowly held it up and mumbled her way through the catch phrase.

Nothing happened.

[Mahou Moerin]

The older girl stared at Jon in disappointment, before giving her a hearty slap on the back.

"Oi, speak up!" she said cheerfully. "Have some confidence! It probably won't work if you're not loud enough, anyways..."

Moerin hoped that the reason it hadn't worked was because she'd been so quiet. After all, she still wanted to hold onto the hope that the pen was what she thought it was. It helped that the girl looked rather similar to Makoto, the only real differences being how she was dressed, how she wore her hair, and a slight difference in height. So of course, it had to work and the only reason it didn't was because she was so quiet, right?

[EldritchMermaid]

"R-right..."

She cleared her throat, and thrust the pen skywards with a bit more enthusiasm.

"Jupiter Power, Makeup!"

And then everything went crazy.

[StarSketch]

"Uh...Long story short, we all got superpowers, and apparently every fictional story is real or something. And this damaged ship is supposed to take people through the multiverse to do...something."


Sam then noticed Jonathan (or whatever we're calling her this time around) transforming into Sailor Jupiter.

"What."

[Tachi]

Rachel stepped back a bit as the Sailor Senshi thrust the pen into the air. Well, the blonde girl seemed to be okay and with any luck, the transformation would distract Jupiter from what had just happened. She looked on in awe at the younger girl's transformation and applauded.

"That was awesome!" she said, smiling. It wasn't every day she saw a real magical girl, after all.

[Krautman]

A man with blonde hair, a red t-shirt and jeans, and a very confused look on his face had poked his head around a corner. A series of rings hung from a belt at his side- with very large stones. An oval-cut ruby, demimonde sapphire, triangle-cut emerald, and cushion-cut topaz on his left hand. And of course an obvious spot where a shard had entered.

And then Jupiter's transformation happened.

And then he turned around and began walking away.

"Nope, uh-uh, nope, no way. Gonna find a nice padded room and sit down."

[VitaVitaAR]

"... Um... um..."

So much was happening. So much confusing, odd things were happening. Anno was at a complete loss. Though... there was a bit of excitement. If all these people had been given some kind of powers, didn't that mean she had powers as well? Or, at least, possibly did... not that she could figure out what they were. That was the hard part, really. How did you use powers if you had no idea what they were? And... there was more important things to be concerned about, like what was happening with the other people around her... Anno took a deep breath. Maybe... maybe she should introduce herself?

"U-um... w-well..." she took another deep breath, "M-my name is... is Anno, and, u-um..."

Anno trailed off and stared when one of the people in the group, a girl she hadn't noticed before, turned into one of the Sailor Senshi. There wasn't much else she could do but stare with mute shock at that point.

---

Shiki lowered her knife. It gleamed in the lights on the ship, and the blue faded from her eyes. If the man wanted to continue to harbor that thing, then she would not cut it apart. She glanced around the room. Her head throbbed, and she felt little more than irritation directed at everyone and everything around her. ... Well...

There was a fair amount of bewilderment at the transformation of one girl into a magical girl. Shiki was familiar with the supernatural, but the existence of magical girls was not something she was aware of. In fact, Shiki thought this situation was completely absurd, moreso then it had been before the sudden magical girl.

There was but one thing she could say.

"This is just ridiculous," said Shiki, placing her knife in her jacket pocket and turning away, facing the uniformed girl once more. Really, this was entirely because the uniformed girl was in the direction opposite of the absurdity behind her.

[Flanker]

Flanker


As he noticed the pools of blood (and the people sitting in them), Flanker recoiled slightly and diverted his gaze, unwilling to look at it any more than necessary. True, he was better than he was as a child, but it still wasn't something he was 100% comfortable with. Thankfully, NAVI intervened to provide some (well timed) exposition.
The confirmation that this was, in fact, all real, hit him like a hammer blow to the gut. Going back a step, he tried to fight the trepidation inside of him. He was, perhaps, on the cusp of something truly wonderful and fantastic... but at the same time, it was all so much to take in on short notice. The notification about how long it would take to repair the ship was good news, in a way - he wasn't sure why it made his spirits lift slightly.



Then NAVI "ordered" them to help retrieve an Incubator.



"I see..." said Flanker. He paused, and then said tentatively, "I might be scared, and I might not be very strong or anything, but the multiverse is more important than anything like that - even if I can't do much, I'll help track down this thing. Unless Emile wants to do it, I'd like to offer myself for consideration as Captain. No orders, though. None. Zilch. Nada. We're all equals here, right? And anyway, I'm sure none of you would want to listen to some teenager who's never fought a day in his life or that you've never met before."



He suddenly felt rather exposed - why did he have to open his great big mouth and say stuff like that? In a more withdrawn voice, he added, "You can call me... 'Flanker' for now." It would be weird to use his 'proper' name around these people he had never met. Admittedly his alias was kind of lame, but it was serviceable for now.



By now, his skin was tingling extensively, almost as though he had a severe case of pins and needles. The uncomfortable sensation prickled his body, but Bernard's rather... interesting entrance distracted him. Pointedly ignoring what else was happening, the teen tried to shake off his pins and needles. He then walked over to Bernard and said, "Hi there. I'd explain just what the heck's going on here, but I think that NAVI will do that for me, right...?"

---

Emile

"Captain...?" Surprise bled through the SPARTAN's voice and filtered into his stance as NAVI highlighted the potential Captains. He had been deep in thought since then, or at least as deep in thought as he could get with the fact that new things were seemingly happening every few minutes. As much as he hated to admit it, it appeared that this ship - whatever it was - might well be his only ticket back to Reach and the remnants of Noble Team. Just hang on...


"Thanks, but no thanks. I've got no experience with commanding something like this." Emile said. He had no desire to bite off more than he could chew, and tackling such a diverse and bizarre group of people (not all of whom would accept his authority) was beyond what he wished to deal with. Getting back to his own universe was paramount.

[dblade26]

August leaned on the cane as Grey gave it to him, feeling relieved by the familiar feel of it in his hand in the middle of all this strangeness that was going on with a Multiverse and someone turning into a magical girl straight out of Sailor Moon before his eyes, not to mention the other person going crazy over having The Scarab in his body and the now almost trivial fact that he'd probably died earlier today. Still, he wasn't sure if he felt overwhelmed or totally excited by this new, potentially crazy direction his life (or afterlife) was taking. At the least Grey seemed pretty nice, even if she was treating him a little bit like a small child.

August blinked out of his musing state when the girl even shorter than him reminded him he was covered in blood. "Well...thanks for your concern, but yeah obviously I knew, totally! I was disabled not blind ehe. Too bad though, I really liked these clothes. But It's not like I was totally oblivious to having a doll perching on my hat. I mean, it's kind of cutesy and all but isn't it inconvenient for you to have to carry something like that on your head all day? It'd probably give me a huge neck-ache to try that."

He frowned when Grey shrank back from himself and the others. "Hey, I'm sure you'll be able to control your powers just fine. You already seem to have the hang of that tail."

He frowned even more at how confused Bernard and the guy in the red shirt were. Feeling like he needed to do something to lighten the mood, he threw the hood up on his jacket so it covered his face and seemed more like a cloak, stepped into the dark puddle of blood then did his best 'mysterious sounding voice' while flaring his coat outward "...This world has been connected...so um, Well basically all the worlds you've ever seen in media are real and exist in a big Multiverse, so now you've been brought to this ship, potentially to fight some Multiverse conquering bad guys who want to destroy all you know and love if I've been paying attention. And no, you aren't crazy, the world's just turned out to be a bigger place than you expected."

He'd have to keep a close eye on this Blue Beetle guy too. Having an artifact of doom fused to his back made him one of the most likely to succumb to brainwashing and try and kill everyone.

[Roxas]

In the midst of gazing at the giant key as if it were a priceless artifact - which it totally was - Saxen heard a rather familiar name, and curiously turned his head. It wasn't the name of a fictional character that he had to try and speak with later, but...

And someone else introduced themselves too, tentatively offering to be a captain. Saxen knew that name as well, and couldn't help but stare blankly. He was beginning to guess just who everyone else could be... well then, in that case...

"Uh... I'm Saxen," The young man said, though he wasn't sure if anyone heard him. He had a habit of being quiet when he wasn't being an idiot. "So... yeah. Hi."

He couldn't help but crack a smile upon hearing a rather familiar line. Which really got him thinking; if Heartless were also a thing... he was gonna have so much fun level grinding.

------------------------------

At the words of the helpful young man, Noel was beginning to calm down ever so slightly. She wondered if he had a military background as well, since he seemed to know quite well how it felt to be on an important mission. though to be fair, it was a lot less stressful before this whole... multiverse thing happened. And even if she could make it back, so much time would be wasted...

Come on Noel, don't think like that! The lieutenant tried to encourage herself. If Makoto were here, she'd probably just have fun. And Tsubaki... uh... well, if we were all together, it wouldn't be so bad... au, I wanna see them-

Her attempts to boost confidence failing, Noel sighed, finally noting that someone seemed to be staring at her.
With a nervous expression, Noel stared back, a little unsure of what to say. Well, greeting were usually the thing you said first, so...

"U-um... hello," Noel started nervously. "Uh, I'm Lietenant Noel Vermillion of the NOL. P-pleasure to meet you."

[Mahou Moerin]

"...I knew it! Eeeeeh~!" Moerin bounced excitedly on the spot as the transformation sequence began. It was more amazing than she thought it would ever be, although she was a little confused as to where the music was coming from... But still, this meant that she knew a real life Sailor Senshi!

...To think there were other kinds of magical girls out there... Maybe she made a really big mistake...

Before she could think too much about it and make herself depressed again, she heard a nearby girl identify herself. And... She knew that name. It can't have been a common name, so it had to be the girl she knew. It just had to be...

"...ANNOOOOOOOOOOO~!" she squealed, rocketing towards the small girl as she launched a tackle hug. "Anno~! Anno, it's me! It's Moerin! Eeeeh, Anno~!" At least it took her mind off some rather dark thoughts. And besides, she was small and tiny and cute, so she couldn't really help but hug her friend like that.

[Psyga315]

"Very well. I'll try my hand at captaining, for I have knowledge of the multiverse. I'm going to work on my avatar in the occasions that I wish to accompany you." NAVI said to the four who rejected captain hood. A small window opened up which showed her going through multiple pictures of women with short hair. Most of them shared the common trait of pale shades of either blue or purple and maybe a school uniform. Some of them were recognizable, like Rei and Nagato. However, the process was halted several times, though it seemed like NAVI was more occupied with other things rather than being distracted by the people. It seemed to be happy to answer the questions they gave.

"I can't triangulate the position of Nanabey, the Incubator. She seems to be running from something. I can only find a good place of where she is, but I can't exactly transport her over without trying and failing. The better choice would be to teleport people over and have them get Nanabey." NAVI said. Then Sam said how she doesn't know her powers.

"I can be able to scan you and see if you've taken in a shard, then I can recognize your power." NAVI said. And soon, Jon transformed into Sailor Jupiter. Music began to play. Nick looked around to see where the song was coming from.

"Oh, sorry... I was going through my MP3 files..." NAVI said with a slight giggle. Whatever was going on with her studies, NAVI seemed to change more and more with each passing minute. Ginger, however...

"OH! MY! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!" Ginger said as she glomped Jon. "YOU'RE JUST LIKE HER! Omigod omigod omigod omigod omigod!" She said, smothering her face onto Jon's shoulders. Soon, Nick saw the man with the rings.

"... No way..." Phoenix said. Soon, Nick moved against his will towards the man with the rings. "HEY! RINGED MAGICIAN!" Nick said to the man in Phoenix's voice. NAVI sighed

"This is going to be a loooooooooooooooooooong day... Avatar's process is ten percent completed..." NAVI said.

"I... have a doll on my head?" Rain asked, reaching up and pulling the thing off. It was light, being a simple cloth construction that appeared to be full of some sand-like substance. This was also the first good look that the tiny girl had gotten at her hands since this whole business began, and she was surprised to see a whole bunch of rings on them.

And then she accidentally channelled magic through the things, sending the doll careening off to hit the ceiling, and jumping back in shock, wrapping her arms around the hugging girls without fully taking in who they were. That doll... what...

It then fell to the ground and exploded above everyone's heads, fortunately doing no damage but making a loud bang.

Reisen, staring in confusion at everything going on, easily recognised the bang and its likely source. Cautiously, the rabbit began looking around for golden hair and a shining book, where those dolls were, Alice couldn't be far behind... maybe she'd run out of Eirin's dream pills and had been looking for more? That would explain why they were both here...
