Introduction

[You wake up in a bed.

A rather comfy bed, but as you open your eyes, you realize that this room is not one you’ve ever been in before. And even the most villainous of you should notice that something is immediately very off by how morbid your room looks. While generally clean, it looked dark and like it was a part of a very old house.

And that “Rest in Peace” throw pillow really isn’t doing the room any favors.

Meanwhile, on the dresser on top of your new notebook, there is also a message:]


When the clock strikes 13 o’clock. You must all meet in the stretching room for a special announcement.

[Well, it would be rude to refuse an invitation, right?

As soon as you leave your room, you notice a stark difference between the bedroom and the rest of the building. It looked like it hadn’t been kept up in ages, and it shows with how everything is caked in dust or covered in cobwebs. But judging by the other bedroom doors, possibly with other people peering out at the same time you, at least you’re not alone in this strange situation.

As you explore the rest of the first floor of the mansion, you’ll come to realize that, besides the bedrooms, the whole place is rather decrepit and dimly lit. While all rooms may provide a great interest in you, the the bios of all your foolish mortals might be useful to you, especially if you enjoy finding out how much your new captor has learned about you.]

That's... one way of looking at it! For sure.

[ SHE'S... A LITTLE TOO FLUMMOXED AT THIS SMALL HAPPY ALIEN TO THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY? ]
folkscallmewander: Gosh my arm is getting tired. (So how's your day goin'?)

[personal profile] folkscallmewander 2017-06-11 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
They really put in the effort in the guest rooms, isn't that sayin' something? We can't judge a book by its cover, and even if it's dark and spooky.

[He lifts the brim of his large hat.] Name's Wander, and I don't suppose you're a guest that's been here before, are you?

[personal profile] tangerinetrees 2017-06-11 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm Karolina. I just got here. Um... do you remember any kind of invitation, then?
folkscallmewander: (um)

[personal profile] folkscallmewander 2017-06-11 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
No. [Shakes his head.] Last thing I recall is settin' up camp and goin' to sleep. We mighta picked a bad spot if we needed rescuin'.

The last thing I remember is being with the Avengers after... all the stuff that happened back home.

[ Sorry, Wander, "after I fought my supervillain parents" just doesn't roll off the tongue right at the mo'. ]

It is weird to give us rooms like these if this is some kind of kidnapping.
folkscallmewander: (hello)

[personal profile] folkscallmewander 2017-06-12 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
You're right. If they did mean us harm, they'd lock us up in chains or to a torture table, and they'd be laughin' all about how they're finally gonna destroy or or somethin'. This is more like a surprise party.

[Happens all the time.]

So what's the Avengers? A motorcycle gang? A band? [He holds his hands to his chin.]
tangerinetrees: (05)

[personal profile] tangerinetrees 2017-06-12 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... sure.

The Avengers are a superhero group. They... protect Earth?
folkscallmewander: (wow)

[personal profile] folkscallmewander 2017-06-12 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[GASP]

An actual group of actual superheros?! They actually got superpowers?! Like, savin' folks is their job? Do they got secret identities?!
tangerinetrees: (22)

[personal profile] tangerinetrees 2017-06-12 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Sure they do! I... ohhhh, you're from another planet, huh! That's why you don't know! At least it makes sense why one person doesn't.

[ IT'S LIKE IF YOU WENT SOMEWHERE AND NO ONE KNEW THE BEATLES, WANDER, EXCEPT THE BEATLES SAVED THE EARTH EVERY OTHER MONTH ]
folkscallmewander: (squee)

[personal profile] folkscallmewander 2017-06-12 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I never heard of Earth! [He sounds excited about that fact.] I always wanted to meet a real superhero!
tangerinetrees: (16)

[personal profile] tangerinetrees 2017-06-12 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well if you come visit Earth when we get out of here, some of them do meet and greets sometimes!
folkscallmewander: (Whoo!)

[personal profile] folkscallmewander 2017-06-12 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man! You gotta give me the coordinates to your planet, Sylvia's gonna love it!

[He looks around--no pen or paper. Okay, he can just use his phone. He pulls off his hat and rummages through its large body. After a few seconds, he pulls his hand out holding nothing.

He stares at it.]
Huh. Never had that happen before. [He looks inside this time while searching for his things. Stuffs his hand in. Finds nothing. Wander's looking worried.]

[ Oh no, don't be distressed, little guy! Karolina thinks fast and: ]

I'll give them to you when we leave, how about that? We don't really have reliable space travel yet, I'm going to need to do some research.
folkscallmewander: (jesus christ lord)

[personal profile] folkscallmewander 2017-06-12 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
It's not--

[No. Just. Karolina doesn't have to worry about his personal things. He'll be fine. Maybe he's not supposed to get the coordinates just yet. Yeah. Yeah, that's it.]

Yeah. No need to worry! We can use old pen and paper we find in the drawers! I'll ask our host if we can use any!

[He gives her the best "I'm okay" grin and puts the hat on. Ha ha ha this is fine.]
tangerinetrees: (24)

[personal profile] tangerinetrees 2017-06-12 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah!

[ She just wants this small man to be happy, dangit. ]

We'll figure things out. No need to worry.
folkscallmewander: (Pointing behind me)

[personal profile] folkscallmewander 2017-06-12 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[She's fine, he's fine. Everything will be fine.]

Actually, I was thinkin' of checkin' out the foyer. There's some stuff hangin' on the wall, so, why not go there?

[Reading will keep his mind away from whatever happened to his hat and phone.]
tangerinetrees: (03)

[personal profile] tangerinetrees 2017-06-12 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Let's go do that, uh...? I'm sorry, I don't think I got your name.
folkscallmewander: (making fruity drinks for my people)

[personal profile] folkscallmewander 2017-06-12 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
The name's Wander. [very fitting for a traveler]
tangerinetrees: (04)

[personal profile] tangerinetrees 2017-06-12 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Karolina.

[ She extends a hand to shake! ]

Nice to meet you, Wander.
