a mingle to kick things off

[devoursall]

Monobear has been kicked, the mock murder never happened (edit: or did it...? Your memories might seem a little jumbled...), the first round of refugees has been picked up (sort of), and GETHOMEQUEST 2014 has begun.

IT'S TIME

TO

MINGLE

setting info is here but feel free to make up your own shit, driving this hopeboat is a group effort

[GETHOMEQUEST 2014 SUUUUCKS]

[Really though, what's... going on... The Monobear symbols that were formerly painted on the walls of the ship have been replaced -- by huge bows and heart stickers. The whole place is decorated like it's a little girl's princess-themed birthday party.]

...What.

[devoursall]

What what?

[HERE SHE IS SHE IS HERE kinda tilting her head at the wall. squinting. What's got you in a twist li'l cooker of food?]

[ice_in_shibuya]

Yo, K-bro!

[Beat comes jogging up, board under one arm]

What the HELL happened?!

[icebutnice]

[Oh.

Hmmmm.

Uh.

UHHHHHHHH.]

....What the math is going on here?

[uncoverthetruth]

"What the math"? That's a new one.

[KEIICHI IS KIND OF EXTREMELY FREAKED OUT but he's going to smile at you nonetheless, Simon. That is, after all, the best way to deal with weird situations -- make jokes about them.]

[spacetimeapplications]

I don't know, but I kind of like it.

[devoursall]

[Well that was anticlimactic.

...

brb biodome. She's gonna go hide in the trees and make loud predatory breathing noises at anyone passing by.

Also herd chickens maybe. Cute little morsels. c: ]

I assume they met on the island?

[t_forthemonarch]

[He's wandering through the biodome, hoping to talk though all these weird uncertain memories with his glorious winged brethren, when he hears something. He startles, looking up to find that dinosaur that's inexplicably been hanging around.]

What the Hell, man? [Seethe] You nearly gave me a heart attack there.

[scallopstrategist]

[Jay might be used to large predators back home, but that doesn't make it any less jarring to hear noises like that in the biodome. His hands immediately go for his pockets, reaching for something-- but, oh. It's just Maw.]

Don't you have anything more productive to do? [His posture relaxes, but his hands don't move from his pockets.]

Jimmy Two-Shoes (SHSL Positivity) | Jimmy Two-Shoes | Round 1 | ANYWHERE YOU WANT FRIENDS

[awesmazings]

[...Well of course Jimmy's going to be pretty momentarily-confused by the sudden "hey I'm suddenly not in Miseryville anymore...AGAIN", but it doesn't take long of just getting to see Monomi to calm his initial nerves. It also doesn't take him long to remember his status as part of the Future Foundation, after surviving the last mess of killing that went on.

Though this is....definitely preferable in all aspects. It sounds like things got stopped before they could go bad, so he's thankful for that, if anything. Still, if they're not going to be back home again for a bit, he'll just use this time to keep an eye on things and make sure things don't go bad, if he can help it. ....That, and these new students could probably use a bit of reassuring from ol' SHSL Positivity over here.

...Also, apparently we're in space now? That's pretty dang rad if he says so himself.

Jimmy can be found just about anywhere, exploring the area with a careful air that he definitely didn't have the first time he experienced this. One of his arms seems to be lined with friendship bracelets, though they aren't the ones from the first week....they were digital and prone to disappearing, you know. These seem to be the real deal and replicas of the old ones, and he hasn't taken them off since they were made. He'll be happy to talk to anyone, and try to help anyone who's completely confused out of their minds.

...He does seem to be looking for something, though. Or someones, rather....seeing his fellow Future Foundation members again is definitely one of his top priorities, here, as well as those classmates who just chose to go back home without taking on that responsibility.]

CAN WE BE FRANDS

[bornoflove]

[Well, currently Homura is just...very, very, confused.

So naturally this would be someone for Jimmy to speak to! She looks like she needs the positivity.]

Jumba Jookiba (SHSL Experimental Geneticist)| Lilo & Stitch | Round 1 | LABORATORY

[prefersevilgenius]

[Jumba Jookiba, your supervising teacher's assistant, representative of the Future Foundation, and a former student from that one class that got SHSL Despair out of the computer simulation, has been let out of the brig which he'd been trapped in when Monobear took over the space station and is busy doing Weird Science all over.

There may be some experiments around. Jumba definitely brought plenty aboard, although he's not sure where Hope's gone to.

Depending how Ri wants it, Pleakley may be there too. He wasn't a member of any of the classes, but Jumba totally dragged him to the DRP world after the first round ended so he could help with the reconstruction.]

[devoursall]

[She thought she heard something banging around down there aside from the loud engine things.

Anyways.]

What are you doing in here, sm- [....] not-so-small thing? Is it exciting? Is it delicious? I must know! [She swears she's trying not to knock anything over but catching an empty test tube rack or two on her tail is inevitable.]

Kirei Kotomine | SHSL Exorcist | Fate/stay night | wherever, man

[blackmass]

[No matter where Kirei went--and he was exploring the station thoroughly--everything was so bright and friendly.]

[Ew.]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[You know what's not bright, but actually pretty friendly? Veronica.

And she's wandering down the hall opposite to you. She'll pass without a word, only giving the man one glance which should be enough to showcase her stitched face before she continues on.]

Homura Akemi | SHSL Time Traveller | Puella Magi Madoka Magica

[bornoflove]

[This...was impossible. She knew this. She knew this and yet--she was here. Her wings sagged.

Was this hell? But did that mean the ship was hell? Or was this something else?...She died, she knew she died, and yet--

Needless to say, she's quite stunned. And very confused.]

[uncoverthetruth]

[You're not looking so good, Homerun. Which is understandable; the WTF factor on this ship is high. Out of nowhere, Keiichi walks up and begins talking like he's known you for ages.]

Is this weird or what? I'm not sure what's going on...

Veronica Madaraki | SHSL Bodyguard | Round 1 | Anywhere~

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[......Goddammit.

This wasn't home. This wasn't anything like home at all. Where the usual old wooden walls and well kept furnishings mixed with the clean tiles and stainless steel of a surgery room was instead large and rather pink metal walls with pictures of... Miss Usami?

What was she doing now? Was this another computer simulation? Veronica didn't remember the other Foundation agents saying anything about this, and they wouldn't do something like what they did twice, not without permission at least.

But even so, Veronica Madaraki found herself in some kind of space station and, after quelling her panic, cleared her thoughts and started investigating this new life of mutual... hope? She was relieved to find her weapons, her real ones, as well as the two, real bracelets she had been given by the end of her adventure. One from a friend, the other from her girlfriend. As ready as she'll ever be, the bodyguard set out into the station to search for any of her friends, fellow agents, family, and possibly an exit.]

[devoursall]

[There is a giant lizard blocking the hallway to the biodome. It's facing the other way.

There is an odd, muffled noise coming from somewhere behind the scaly back. It sounds like...chickens. A fair number of chickens.]

Cyntha | SHSL Heroine | Fire Emblem: Awakening | Kitchen

[thejusticewagon]

[Did the trial happen? ...didn't it happen? Cynthia... has been getting conflicting memories.

Nevertheless, everyone seems fine so it's clearly nothing that any of them would need to worry about! ...but after yelling about some pastries Cynthia has sort of felt obligated to provide them as part of a "wow something weird is going on but at least we're okay" celebration. Rhubarb pies, made with her mom's secret recipe!

So, she has all the ingredients ready, and just needs to take care of

....

the silverwear. Is it there? ...is it there after having been stuffed down Dan's pants? Unwashed? Did that actually happen in reality?

...Anyone who walks in will find the ingredients on the table and Cynthia looking at a silverware drawer in trepidation.]

Re: Cyntha | SHSL Heroine | Fire Emblem: Awakening | Kitchen

[spacetimeapplications]

You okay there? [Have a Betty looking curious.]

Betty Grof (SHSL Space-Time Expert) | Adventure Time | Mock Trial | ANYWHERE

[spacetimeapplications]

[okay wow what

everything is pink

this is new]

At least the bear is gone.

[uncoverthetruth]

[Piiiiiiiiink]

Fingers crossed, at least. This could be a trick, but if it is, he went pretty all-out with it.

Jay the Unseen (SHSL Spy) | Mock Trial | Tales of Legendia

[scallopstrategist]

[Friendship? Hope? UGH, GROSS. Jay refuses to drive this hopemobile, someone else take the wheel.]

[Yeah, no, Jay has been remarkably hard to get a hold of ever since Monomi took over. He wants nothing to do with this vessel driving through space, supposedly powered by friendship and hope. I mean, sure, he's secretly more than a little relieved that the murder thing is a bust. (But wasn't there already a murder, complete with investigation, trial and grisly execution? No, that probably wasn't real. Homura's clearly alive and well, and there's no mess in the hallway.)

... but that doesn't mean he actually wants to be friends with any of these weirdos.

Unsurprisingly enough, Jay will spend most of his time in the library, reading. But he's also got some nervous energy to burn--so he can also be found hanging out in the gymnasium performing gymnastic stretches. Splits? No problem! Cartwheels? Please, he could do that in his sleep. He's very physically flexible, which is a little ironic considering how inflexible he can be in his logic.]

Lysandre (SHSL Leader) | Pokémon XY | First Round/Mock Trial

[holocast]

[This isn't the first time he's awakened with no idea where he is and his memories incredibly hazy around the edges; either way, however, once he's settled down a bit Lysandre seems to be finding this place far preferable to the last, even if it does appear to be another murdergame setup.

It's in space, yes, but at least that's interesting, and somehow Miss Usami managed to not screw it up this time, and now here he is and here are a bunch of other people he knows and a bunch more that he doesn't, and he's...

...Actually, he's feeling kind of wary about distracting himself with his Pokémon like he often does in unfamiliar places. Huh. That's...strange, but you know what, he's going to just kind of pretend there's nothing unnerving about that at all.

He's most likely to be found poking around the holodeck because oh my god of course he is; he's not allowed in the simulations alone, obviously, but the machinery itself is fascinating enough for him and he may be taking notes on all of it like the tremendous nerd that he is. He's not anywhere near opposed to actually entering the simulations if approached, and if anything he kind of really wants to just to see what they're like because apparently his luck is crap even in mock-rounds and of course the hologram specialist gets left out of the damn hologram simulation because he drew short straw.

Otherwise, he can be found easily in the library - I mean really, this stuff is fascinating, and even if he doesn't necessarily understand why he's here of all places that doesn't mean he's not going to take advantage of it. In the most asocial way possible, but hey, at least he's not hanging out in any sort of pharmacy this time because he's rather aware that people tend to die whenever he hangs out in the pharmacy during the week.]

holodeck

[devoursall]

[yo weren't you dead

I've sniffed a lot of corpses in my day but I am pretty damn sure I sniffed yours at some point

lemme just

sneak up behind you and stick my nose in your ear to see if it rings a bell]

Tohru Adachi (SHSL Gopher) | Mock Trial | Persona 4 | ANYWHERE

[foolreversed]

[Huh. Well okay. That's pretty weird all things considered.

He's gonna go exploring then. See if there's any other new... surprises]

[uncoverthetruth]

[Where did that sticky-backed bow come from? Who knows, somewhere on the walls, it doesn't matter. What does matter is that Keiichi's holding one and he's just stuck it on Adachi's suit.]

Morning.

Madison Montgomery (SHSL Witch) | Round 1 | AHS: Coven

[yourpiecenow]

[holy fucking shit she does not like being dragged away from things.

and unlike everyone else who is apparently cheerily writing off this fucking catastrophe (she's looking at you fat alien) Madison Montgomery is Concerned. because there are faces here she does not recognize. worlds she's never seen. and Monobear kicked or not, the bear was still fucking here, and that was not a thing she thought would happen again-- at least not so fucking soon.

a young woman in a crisp, professional-looking black skirt suit is chain-smoking next to a window. if you have an ahoge, you might want to keep your distance. she shoots on sight.]

[awesmazings]

[Please to be not shooting this ahoge, he promises he comes in peace.]

...Hey....Madison?

[Even he knows to be cautious at this point, because let's face it who wouldn't be after nine long weeks of murder island.]

It's me, Jimmy!

[He even offers her a small wave. See, you remember him, right? Class protag, nearly got himself executed, all that jazz. You kicked him too, that was good times.]

Sienna "Squigly" Continello (SHSL Opera Singer) | Skullgirls | Mock Trial | Anywhere

[daisypusher]

[Man, that is a lot of pink. Both her and Leviathan are confused as hell with everything that she doesn't even know where to begin with the questions.

So the zombie girl with the bone dragon in her head is just going to wander around. Not the strangest thing to see, right? Right?]

the library

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[The space station's library didn't serve that big of a purpose to Veronica. She never spent that much time reading books, nor did she really want to. A few of them were interesting though, so maybe if she found the time...

That idea had gone away as she saw Squigly. A zombie? Ghoul? In a space station of all places?

Drawing a sword, she advanced quietly on the monster.]

Sam Erstwhile (SHSL Book Collector/Thief) | OC | Round 1

[primordial]

[There's a young man just wandering around, looking incredibly lost. Honestly, this is not how he planned his morning, that's for sure. He makes quite the pathetic figure, what with the slouched posture, the unruly mop of hair, and the loose clothing. Occasionally, he'll shake his head and mumble to himself, frowning at the pinkness around him.]

Ugh...where am I? W-what the hell is all of this?!

[Approach him? He seems like he wouldn't hurt a fly...but appearances are very, very deceiving...]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Lalalalala, just turning a corner, trying to enjoy her current situation now that some of her friends are here and...

...Dammit.]

Goddammit.

Heloise (SHSL Mad Scientist) | Jimmy Two-Shoes | Round 1 | LABORATORY OR ANYWHERE

[sweetlynasty]

[Two possibilities come to Heloise's mind after, for the second time, suddenly ending up in an unfamiliar place and then soon after being greeted by Monomi - there's either nothing to worry about, the Future Foundation have called for Jimmy's help as they said they might and she's been brought along (which, honestly, she prefers... not that Jimmy can't handle himself, she'd just rather not have him going off to alternate dimensions alone, yaknow?)... or things are about to turn very, very bad in about a week.

Luckily, from what Monomi explains it's sounding more like the former, and even though the rabbit can't send anyone back home at the moment, for now they can enjoy a nice, relaxing, safe vacation on a spaceship.
Yeah, SPACESHIP. She also can't help but think that's kind of awesome especially since SWEET MISERY IS THAT A LABORATORY?
SHE IS GOING TO DO SO MUCH SPACE SCIENCE.
Well, when she's not hanging around with Jimmy or exploring the rest of the ship. Maybe they'll even run into some familiar faces... after all, it might be nice to see them under some pretenses that aren't murder island.]

Re: Heloise (SHSL Mad Scientist) | Jimmy Two-Shoes | Round 1 | LABORATORY OR ANYWHERE

[prefersevilgenius]

[GUESS WHO'S ALREADY IN THE LABORATORY?]

LITTLE MAD SCIENCE GIRL!

Princess Anna | SHSL Little Sister | Frozen | Anywhere

[loveisanopendoor]

[Given pretty much, well, everything that happened, Anna isn't quite sure what to believe anymore. One second, she was in Arendelle, looking for her sister. The next second, she was on a weird island in the middle of nowhere without a clue as to what happened. Then, just as fast, wait, nope! That was a simulation, we're actually in space! And check it out, we're being forced to kill each other! And someone's dead, and Homura totally did it! Wait, nope! That didn't happen either, they're just in space and being held captive by that bear, only...nope! Everything's pink now, what the heck is going on? What does she believe?]

...I'm so confused, but, uh, hey, at least it looks like everyone's safe...

...R-right? Did the trial even happen?

[And Homura? Is she okay? What about Lysandre?]

Re: Princess Anna | SHSL Little Sister | Frozen | Anywhere

[spacetimeapplications]

There was a space-time anomaly! [Wow, Betty sure sounds chipper about this.] So it did and it didn't. As far as I can tell it un-happened! Hopefully that means that Dan's silverware theft did too! [Because ewwwww.]

Experiment 727 (aka Hope) | Round 1 | ANYWHERE

[hopebwinger]

[...So being locked in a quadruple re-enforced broom closet for that long really leaves an adorable abomination against nature restless. Once Monobear took over the ship, Hope had been uncerimoniously locked up and despite her abilities, escape wasn't something that was going to happen.

Hope can be found eagerly exploring the ship, sticking her twitchy little nose everywhere it doesn't belong. To the mock trial students, she'll be helpful and eager to make friends and most round 1 students will be tackled to the ground and aggressively bunsnuggled. There is no escape from this, just accept the love of this overzealous rabbit thing.]

Re: Experiment 727 (aka Hope) | Round 1 | ANYWHERE

[prefersevilgenius]

727! [Obviously some mysterious time traveler must have let her out when they caused the time anomaly? SOMETHING LIKE THAT, idk.

Anyway have Jumbahugs.]
