First Run - Hi, what the hell?

[speeding]

Okay. So.

• Magical journal? Check.
• Shower has been had? Check.
• Actually not-goopy clothing that still doesn't really fit? Check.
• Waking up in the most insane excuse for a social study without any memories or, you know, clothes, and being told the low-down by some poor girl who looked like she was going to faint? Double check.
• Getting practically manhandled around to god knows where without anyone telling me what the hell this is about and ending up writing this next to an endless rack of lady's high heels? GO TIME.

But seriously, magical journal, what the heck is going on?

Uh, and if these things work the way I'm told they are supposed to-- Hello there my fellow lab rats. I guess welcome me to the maze? And, you know, direct me to the cheese and not the sparks.

The name's Dash, by the way. As in dashingly handsome, or dashing to the rescue. You know, I’m good with either.

god I feel like a dork talking to a journal.

Boy did you pick a bad day to show up.

There's some kind of big storm brewing so unless you want your stay in the sphere to be very very short, I should hope you got shoved down to the Wilderness.

[speeding]

Oh wow, hey, they do work!

Yeah. Um. Wilderness? Looks like the biggest shore warehouse ever from where I am sitting.

I mean, I guess they say shopping can be like a jungle, but this isn't quite what I expected.

[distant-dragon.livejournal.com]

Yes, they do.

The Wilderness changes from time to time, depending on the sort of mood it was in. A few days ago it was all dinosaurs and the like.

You get used to it.

[speeding]

Okay. Dinosaurs to shoe stores? Either you've been smoking something funny didn't they warn you not to take the mushrooms the caterpillar offered? or this place is weirder than previous speculations led me to believe.

Which would be like, whoa weird.

Got a name or should I call you Mysterious Guy/Gal Number 1?

[distant-dragon.livejournal.com]

Option B. So far I've seen a city, a giant boat on an ocean, the dinosaurs, a shoe store...and there have been more but I tend to not go downstairs very often.

Guy. My name is Drake.

[thewindslast.livejournal.com]

You're not talking to it, you're writing to it!

[speeding]

Yeah, see, if I were just talking to it I'd only be crazy.

Instead I'm writing expecting people to write back.

And it worked.

Or maybe I'm still crazy.

[thewindslast.livejournal.com]

Not unless we're all crazy!

[speeding]

Hey, not discounting that. No offense but I just got barfed up from a cocoon and told that was normal. I'll get back to you on my opinion regarding the relative sanity of people around here.

You know, when I have an opinion other than "What the hell?"

So you got a name or shall you be Mysterious Guy/Gal Number 2?

[thewindslast.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the cocoon thing was really, really weird. I'm still trying to figure that one out. But this place is fun, so it's okay.

I'm Arrow! Oh, and I'm a guy!

[shiro-yasha.livejournal.com]

Hmm, if it's cheese you're after, then just go to the market.

Ladies shoes is something else though. If you go shopping with a woman too often you'll just end up blowing all of your hard earned cash on something useless, so you should just become a shut-in.

OH GIN, YOU NEVER, EVER FAIL TO MAKE ME LOL

[speeding]

Hey there's a market? With things other than shoes? Rock on!

Okay and to the rest of that? I'm going to have to say:

... wut?



You'd be Mysterious Guy/Gal Number 3 I take it?

Ehe, I do my best :]

[shiro-yasha.livejournal.com]

Jump/Gintoki, the yorozuya. I don't do that, so don't ask.

Shut-ins might be the asscrack of society, but their lives are pretty care free, so why not?

[speeding]

Uh... Jump/Gintoki? Hi. Nice to pen-pal with you.

What's a yorozuya and what am I not asking?

... 'Cause I have a pretty good hunch I am totally not fit for the shut in life. Care free suits me though--why not wild and care free?

[shiro-yasha.livejournal.com]

Oh, we're already at the stage of being pals huh? I'm not going to share food with you though.

Yorozuya is a yorozuya. Don't ask about that. You know, that.

If you want to be wild and care free then you'll still have consequences, like coming home too late or worrying about Jenny. Shut-ins don't have such worries.

[unlostsoul.livejournal.com]

Not to be curt or anything, but you should probably be dashing your way down to the Wilderness, new guy.

Most important thing to learn about the 'sphere is it likes to screw with us for shits and giggles, and it sounds like there's a major screwing with on the way.

So welcome to the fishbowl, blah blah, get yourself to safety, have a nice day.

[speeding]

Hi, nice to meet you too, Mysterious Guy/Gal Number 4.

I think I got hustled to the wilderness a while ago--I mean, assuming that Drake guy was correct and this giant shoe warehouse is what you Tree People call a wilderness.

Yeah, I am totally getting the whole messed with thing.

Dude, stressed much? Or are you always this tense?

[unlostsoul.livejournal.com]

Sorry, sorry. Busy day. The manners are slipping. I'm Want. TELL YOUR JOKE NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE.

So, you're down there already? Good. That's good. I mean, admittedly, I am a little high-strung some of the time, but I'm totally justified this time.

Get one of the old-timers to tell you their war stories from the last escape if you don't believe me.

[speeding]

Yeah, I forgive you. This time.

Joke? Me? What makes you think I'd Want to?

So, nice to meet you Want-the-only-sometimes-really-high-strung.

Ask about war stories from the las great escape. Gotcha.

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

yes. he so totally is

[speeding]

Good to know.

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

Wow, you totally chose an awkward time to plop your way into existence, New Guy Dash.

[speeding]

You, I've been getting that vibe just a little. I'm kinda hiding out in the way beyond of the shoes to keep out of people's hair.

That makes you Mysterious Guy/Gal Number 5?

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

[ ooc :: circles the word "Guy" in the above post ]

The name's Throne. And based on the way you talk, I'm going to go out on a limb and say preemptively please keep the toilet jokes to a none.

[speeding]

Throne.

Got it.




What, not even one? Stingy.
