"...I hope so..." Grey murmured as helpful advice was given, loosening up her projections with surprising ease. They acted like extensions of her body like hands and feet, moving as easily as her regular limbs. Testing it a few times, the girl found out that they were indeed quite useful and harmless. Just in time too, considering that the small girl had just introduced herself as Anno.
"...Ara ara.~" Sidling closer to the tiny person while appreciatively nodding her head at the senshi transformation, Grey attempted to perform a glomp from behind onto the sandwiched young lady with a catlike smile on her face. The fact that she knew someone here was appealing, and that appeal rose even higher up when she found out it was her cute junior. "Guess who, An?~" Joining the group, the devil began embracing the tiny girl (and the others by default).
Hearing Moe yell out her name, the smile grew bigger as Grey felt her heart grow even warmer and by related action, the embrace intensified. "Moe Moe's here too?~" Switching tact, Grey slipped both her arms over Anno and Moe's respective shoulders to allow the stranger (who was Rain but she didn't know that) freedom from her hold. "...Uwah..." gripping the two tighter at the sound of the explosion, Grey's wings and tail reflexively tensed up and positioned themselves above the two to catch anything that might fall down (fortunately nothing).
"...A Masou Shoujo?!" Mysterious Luchador Stranger Masked Ayumu cried out in shock as he saw the senshi, barging out of his shadowy corner and standing up straight. The masked man couldn't help but ogle the person who had transformed, since he was a healthy teenage male after all. "N... nice..."

"...okay this is getting weird," John muttered, looking around. He'd heard of an Anno and Moerin, but didn't really know them that well aside from TvTropes. He checked his own rings when Pheonix began shouting, sticking a finger in his ear in the universal sign for 'You're being loud.' "No need to shout, you can use your indoor voice. And for the record, Krautman from TvTropes."

"M-Moe?" Anno was really rather surprised, after being knocked down by the tackle-hug. The presence of anyone she recognized hadn't be expected at all, but Moerin? It was really kind of a shock. But... it was the good kind of shock. Moe was one of her closest friends, after all... However, Anno couldn't help it. She flushed rather deeply red, and awkwardly attempted to hug the taller girl before... she felt yet another figure latch onto her. "Wh-wha? H-hel-"
And then yet another person hugged her from behind. "Wh-who? I-I-"
And then there was an explosion, which prompted Anno to attempt to retreat into the hugs from surprise.
Shiki inclined her head slightly. Her gaze, previously fixated on some point behind this 'Noel', now refocused on the girl herself. She had introduced herself. Shiki hardly cared particularly much; she didn't care about anyone else here at all. Her only real concern was returning home and relieving herself of this horrible, throbbing headache. However, after a few moments she decided there was not much else to do but introduce herself.
"Ryougi Shiki," she said, shortly. A second later, there was an explosion.
Shiki spun, her eyes flashing blue as she drew her knife... in time to see the light fade. It was a harmless explosion, but the origin of it perplexed Shiki. Her eyes scanned the room, regarding each object and the lines and points on them. Including a set of rabbit ears attached to a human head, briefly. There was nothing that was clearly the source of the explosion, however... The blue faded from Shiki's eyes.

Bernard stared at the group. And he stared. And stared. And stared.
"Oh, well, that makes sense." He said, shrugging. "Sounds like the plot to a fanfic... except without all the plot inconsistencies and the grammar errors and all that. Sign me u--"
"... the magical levels in this room have increased!" The Scarab yelled in Bernard's mind. "The trap! It's been re-activated!"
The
teenager took a step back as his body was suddenly covered by the Blue
Beetle armor once more. "Gah! Okay, that one kinda hurt, so could you please stop!"
"Stop?" The Scarab asked. "Who is this? Am I sharing control of this host with another Beetle?"
Bernard gritted his teeth, pointing at himself. "What? Of course not. I'm Bernard and I'm your new host!"
"Impossible. Simply impossible! My database would have taken control of your body by now."
"Well, your database sure didn't work, because I'm in command, alright?" He said, not realizing it looked like he was talking to himself. "Now, let's set some ground rules."
"My scans indicate we are on a ship, and therefore, not in the ground."
Facepalming, Bernard grumbled. "Listen! You found me, and I found you. Let's keep this relationship mutually beneficial, alright? You lend me your powers, and I'll... let you live in my head or something like that."
"The odds are tipped in your favor."
"I know more about you than any of your previous hosts." Bernard replied. "So I know how to turn you off."
"A bluff."
"Wanna put that theory to test?" He said, the Blue Beetle armor retracting back into the Scarab, as Bernard slowly reached for his back.
"Fine!... I shall lend you my abilities, and you shall lend me the oddly empty halls of your mind."
"I take offense to that. Also, no controlling me without warning or without me asking. Got it?"
"Yes."
"Then we are decided."
"What about the high levels of magical energy?"
"I'll deal with it." He said, before adding "non-lethally" in a distressed voice. Looking at August, he scratched his chin. "So, like I said before... that... it sounds cool. Do you know what powers the other guys hold? I mean, the Scarab is really afraid of- I-I mean, interested in, no need to yell at me, dude- them."

Sam made a face that looked like she was utterly failing to stop herself from laughing at August's "World has been connected" gag.
She then looked up at the ceiling in an attempt to address NAVI. "That would be helpful, thanks."
While she waited for NAVI to respond, she watched the slowly growing group hug of girls. Apparently they all knew each other from someplace? The names kinda sounded familiar, but she wasn't sure where she heard them. Then the guy in the red shirt brought up knowing them from Tv Tropes.
"...Wait, what? " Sam asked, looking at the guy. "You know them from Tv Tropes-" She was interrupted by the explosion of Rain's doll, and jumped back a little.

Everything going on was quite overwhelming, and Perrin was having some degree of trouble focusing in the midst of it. A few things, however, he was able to keep his eyes on a little longer before the next strange event occurred.
Perrin eyed Flanker wearily. He had a tendency to dislike people who thought they had what it took to be in commanding positions, but...
"Why would he want to be captain without giving orders?" Perrin thought. What was he going to do, sit in a puffy chair and not do anything? Are captains outside of Star Trek different? These questions and more filled his potentially overly-analytical mind.
And then he heard NAVI answer his question. "Ah," he said, "Alright, then."
And then the magical girl transformation. That... Was odd. He really didn't have any idea what to think about that. And then glomping. How do so many of them know each other??
Finally, he decided to just sneak into a corner, plug his ears, and wait for it to get a little less chaotic. And that's exactly what he did.

"Wait... No way.... Anno?! MOE?! VINE!!? No no no not possible, it can't be those three , too much coincidence..." White was caught suprised by the explosion too before resuming to introduce himself. "Uhum uh name's White..." He said, feeling nervous for some reason now.

It was then that NAVI had heard that Flanker offered his position as Captain. {OOC: Yeah... I'm sorry about that, I must have skimmed that.}
"Ah. Okay then... Very well. If you think you can captain, then by all means. I shall continue to construct my Avatar to act as a substitute captain." NAVI said as the avatar creation process creeped to 25%.
Nick eyed "Krautman". Neither Nick or Phoenix has heard of a Krautman. Nick has heard of TVTropes before, but only in passing. When it came to reading tragedies and all those stories, he stuck to Sparknotes instead of Tropes.
"I've been waiting for a chance to beat you up, ringed magician." Phoenix said through Nick, his voice greatly reduced in volume, as he tried to do... something. He was trying to transform into the Phoenix Phantom, but instead, he just sprouted wings of fire. "What!? I... I can't transform!" Phoenix said. NAVI soon flashed blue.
"I have scanned you to find out why your Phantom powers have been greatly reduced. It's for the same reason that the Dragon inside its Shard Holder isn't emerging fully. They seem to act as restraining bolts... If you were to emerge from this human, you would rip him apart and destroy the body housing you." NAVI said.
"You saying I'm in a Gate!? AGAIN!? BULLSHIT! I've broke out of my Gate! I don't need to do this again!" Phoenix said. Just then, another flash of blue.
"Scan complete. You happen to possess the power bend the waters to your will. This energy signature indicates that this Shard came from the Water Tribe in the World of The Last Airbender." NAVI said.

It didn't seem like he had been heard, after all. Well, that was to be expected, after all. He'd reintroduce himself later, when there wasn't a glomping spree going on. For now, he might as well figure out exactly what he could so with this keybl-
The explosion happened, causing Saxen to yelp and leap back, then wildly brandish his weapon. "Wh-who's attacking?! I'll get them! Where are they?!"
-----------
Noel watched nervously as the black-haired woman just stared at her for a moment. It was... kind of intimidating, really. She didn't seem like the most sociable person ever, but at least the woman, Ryougi, finally introduced herself.
And when the explosion happened, Noel immediately cowered with a frightened yell. Only for a moment, however, when the lieutenant noticed that nothing was falling from the sky. Shakily rising to her feet, the twin guns appeared in her hand. It calmed her pounding heart and allowed her to survey the area calmly.

She just had enough time to realise just what she was wearing as the music stopped, from the white leotard and gloves to the green sailor collar and pink bow to the green skirt. The very short green skirt.
However, before she could tug the hem of the skirt down a bit in a vain attempt to preserve her dignity, she got glomped by the brown-haired girl in glasses.
"Ummm... Help?"

Rachel quickly turned her head when she heard several names. Those were...she never thought she'd actually meet any of those people in person. However, before she could rush over to introduce herself again, she saw Ginger latch on to the newly transformed Sailor Senshi. Laughing a little, she approached the pair.
"Ehehe, maybe you should give her a bit of space." she said.

"Relax, Saxen. I have scanned the area. It is just a doll that exploded. A signature tactic of Alice Margatroid." NAVI said. Though that's all she said on the matter. No revealing if the real Alice was in the room or if it's a shard. Just that the power was similar to Alice.
"Oh! Right!" Ginger said, separating herself from Jon. She then stared at him... her... and got a good look. "Wow... You're so coooooooool!" Ginger said.

"R-right... I guess I need to think what to call myself now."
She paused to pull a lock of hair back out of her face.
"And do something about all this hair."

"Hmm...it's kind of hard to come up with suggestions without knowing what you used to be called..." Rachel stated.
After a brief pause, she continued. "As for keeping your hair out of your face...NAVI, I don't suppose there's anything on board we could tie her hair back with, is there?"

Her costume vanished in a flash, restoring her old clothes.
"I guess..."
Should I tell them who I am... Or was? And how would they react if I did?
She sighed mentally, then decided to go through with it.
"I'm..."
Then she broke her identity to everyone, looking like she wanted to go back to the corner and be left alone.

"So... aside from "Ringed Magician" from the human megaphone, any idea what I can do?"
John asked, eying the rings on his belt and taking two- engraved on the front of one was a hand, and on the other, a large man adjusting a bowtie. As he inspected the hand...
DRIVER ON, PLEASE
A strange weight at his waist caused him to look down at the belt that had just appeared. With a worried look, he began trying to pull at it. When the ring with the bowtie got close, however, it began chanting in a rather loud voice...
LUPACCI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO! LUPACCI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO! LUPACCI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO!
"Oh god what is this thing and why is it so annoying."

"That is the Wizardriver. It allows you to scan the rings and use magic based from those rings. Right now it's asking you to use a magic ring." NAVI said. On the scanner, it reads "Avatar, 50% complete".

Post by Flanker on Mar 20, 2013 16:01:22 GMT -5
Flanker
The explosion made Flanker wince and put him on edge, even if it hadn't harmed him or anyone else (or so it seemed, anyway). Whoever was responsible for it would need to be more careful in future.
Bernard's conversation with himself made the teen rather confused. Was there someone invisible next to Bernard? Or was it somehow related to the strange armour. Clearing his throat, Flanker asked, "Uh... who're you talking to?"
That's it? Surprise was plain on Flanker's face as NAVI accepted his suggestion. He was expecting it to be much, much more difficult to get NAVI to accept it, let alone everyone else. Then again, he wasn't out of the woods by a long shot. At the very least, he'd have to show he was capable, something that wasn't helped by the fact that so far all he had to show for his Shard (that crystal that hit him earlier?) was a pair of lightweight blades and that tingling sensation. It was kind of underwhelming, really.
He hoped that things would simmer down shortly, something not helped by the Wizardriver's loud instructions. If Flanker was lucky (which he wasn't so sure of), his own powers or whatever wouldn't be so... loud. But he wasn't going to hold his breath.
Emile
Biting back the urge to scold whoever was responsible for the explosion, Emile quietly observed those around him. With each sweep of his eyes, he seemed to pick up on new unusual qualities. As awkward as it felt for the SPARTAN to do so - it almost felt like a meet 'n' greet than an effort to save the multiverse or whatever the real story was - he eventually relented and decided to introduce himself, as unnecessary as it may have been rendered by NAVI's earlier selection of himself and some others to be Captain. "I'm Emile-A239."
That was as much as he was willing to admit amongst complete strangers.

Bernard raised an eyebrow. "Who, me? I-I'm talking to the Scarab." He turned around and pointed to the scarab attached to his back. "It talks to me. In my head. That's why you guys can't listen to him. But he babbles a lot too." He said, shrugging. "Is there a problem?"

Wriggling out from the hugs, Rain brushed herself down and readjusted her hat. So, Alice's powers, a bunch of people with familiar names, and... the hell? With the rapid jump backwards, the girl's hair had finally fallen into her field of view; it was purple. Undeniably, unavoidably purple. Lavender, perhaps, or lilac. "Explosion's my fault, sorry." |

White diverted his attention to Navi, more focused on learning more about his powers. "NAVI is there a training room somewhere on this ship? I would like to get better understanding about using these powers the shard gave." Fully focused on NAVI, forgeting others who were busy.

August had been to TVTropes but he was pretty sure he wasn't familiar with anyone here
"Well, it's good to see that some people know each other I guess, even if-" The explosion more or less cut August off and had him spend several minutes looking for a non-existent attacker. Just when it became apparent both from the lack of horrific death all around and from Rain's explanation that the explosion was pretty much harmless, John's hand started screaming about magical touching. August would've laughed at the sheer bizarre chaos if it wasn't so annoying.
"I think you'd better do what the AI says and give it some magic thing if you have one!" He tried his best to be heard over everything else going on but he wasn't sure how well John could hear him. The boy also noticed that someone who'd come in was more or less curled up in the corner, but he wasn't entirely sure what he could do to help. Even so he decided to see if he could make himself useful and walked over to the other boy plugging his ears in the corner
"Umm...hey, are you okay? I mean, other than being suddenly thrown into a crazy situation?"

Perrin looked up when August walked over, and unplugged his ears when he started talking.
"Yeah, I just..." Perrin began, "...I'm just a little stressed out. Never been that good with crowds..."
He stood up. "Something's different about this crowd, though." he said, "Aside from the superpowers, I mean. Everyone's presence is so... Strong."

John stuck the ring with the bowtie engraved on it in front of the belt.
Dress Up, Please.
With that, there was a flash, and John stood there in a tuxedo, obviously quite impressed as he felt the fabric.
"...I'm keeping this."

"There is a training facility parallel to the Medbay down the hall." NAVI said. Just then, a little ding was heard. "My Avatar is 75% completed... I shall summon the Avatar projector now..." She said as a loud pinging noise was heard. Just down the hall where NAVI mentioned walked a very bulky and cybernetic robot. The robot had three horns, two of them resembled a stag beetle and were silver, while the third was on his forehead, resembling a rhinoceros beetle and colored gold. The same silver and gold coloring could be found on his body, with silver dominating his torso, and gold dominating his legs. The robot moved out of the way for White to go to the Training Room.

As one of the girls who had hugged her suddenly detached herself, Anno slowly opened her eyes. The sound of the explosion had faded, at least... and the girly who was incredibly well-dressed was apologizing for it. Seriously her hat and suit was really pretty nice... still blushing from all the hugs, Anno eventually spoke up. "Um... y-you caused the explosion? And... um... there's people I know here... and... this is really really confusing..."
Shiki's hands delved back into her pockets. Her knife was once again stowed. Frustration at her inability to locate the source of the explosion and at her headache permeated her thoughts. Her gaze shifted downwards. Even without 'looking', she could see the faint lines of death on the floor. The blonde girl in the uniform had introduced herself as a lieutenant... Someone in some kind of military, Shiki assumed. For a moment, she felt a bit of amusement. She didn't seem like any member of any military.
Without turning around, Shiki spoke.
"I would think someone in the military wouldn't be such a coward," she said, bluntly. Shiki was many things, and blunt was one of them. Blunt and straightforward in every circumstance.

"...O-oh... I see..." Saxen responded weakly to the voice - NAVI or whoever. Well, now he just felt foolish, reacting like that to Alice's do-
Alice Margatroid?! Saxen finally realised, scanning the area once more. He could see Reisen, but not Alice. What? Did that mean...
Ah, a girl in a hat had revealed herself to be the cause of it. So... she got explosive doll powers. And there was a Reisen.
Well, if she's not around, I'll be so very disappointed. Saxen couldn't help thinking to himself. Even if the presence of that particular character may or may not be the best thing. Still, half the people here seemed to have powers from fiction, and the other half... were fiction. Interesting mix.

"H-huh?!" Noel snapped her gaze towards the cold woman in surprise. "Cowardly? But... it was an explosion! I-it could've been an enemy attack! And... well, it took me by surprise..." she finished quietly. Surely anybody would have been shocked at something blowing up in their vicinity, right? If anything, why would a normal (presumably) woman not be shaken by that?

"I thought people in the military were trained to deal with possible threats in a less terrified way," replied Shiki. She turned slightly, giving Noel a sideways gaze from one of her grey eyes. Her current opinion of the blonde girl was rather neutral, but she did feel the girl was a coward judging by how she reacted to things. Then again, Shiki didn't react to things in the same way many people did. But she still felt someone from a military wouldn't have panicked so much from something like that. Shiki had taken note that the source of the explosion was apparently a doll.
Well, it did not appear to be any sort of threat, at any rate. Shiki's grip on her knife, which she had maintained after shoving her hands into her jacket's pockets, loosened.
