[willworkforexperience]

Oh, oh geez, oh noooo, okay-

[This part sounds like it's coming out of a bullhorn (because it is)]

Everyone please be aware that the door is up and functional -one way only- and will remain so for the rest of the weekend

Gosh I sure hope that the invitations made it okay.


[ooc: 4th wall! Here is the deal with this post - I am turning off notifications so if you want to chat, threadjack, harass, stalk, be a nuisance and your character doesn't have anyone in the city they would do that with, or you want to talk to other 4th wall characters, do not hesitate to use this post. Network, voice, text, video, action, everything is welcome, but I do suggest that if you have a character in-game you make a post instead of a top-level comment! Pass it around, give it to your friends, anything goes so if you have OOC preferences please label them in your comment. HAVE FUN, GUYS]

Julia Sagorsky | Boardwalk Empire | OTA

[andhunting]

[A woman is wandering around the square, immaculately dressed in clothes that will seem old fashioned to most residents of the City. She's keeping a close eye on a boy of about 7 years of age. Friends of Jimmy Darmody may recognise the boy as his son.]

Re: I already feel the feelings

[trenchknives]

[He barely notices the woman, because his eyes are on the little boy. Older than he'd last seen him, certainly, but he'd know his son's face anywhere. Time has passed for Tommy, obviously, time that Jimmy wouldn't have been there to see, but he's here now.

He approaches as quickly as he can, limp more pronounced than usual -- the weather's been bothering his leg lately -- and calls out.]

Tommy!

Ruby Flint | OC | OTA

[glamorsongstress]

[Ruby's initially excited by the sudden influx of people into the City, but then decides to just ignore them and not get her hopes up. It's not like anyone she knows will show up, she tells herself, more to avoid disappointment than because she believes it a complete impossibility. She'll be found around the City during the day, or at Lucky's in the evening.]

Re: Ruby Flint | OC | OTA

[princessstabbity]

[Ceilidh came into Lucky's with Theo and a few other people. She's a bit hopped up on sugar currently and bouncing around. When she sees Ruby she bounces over to her with a smile.]

Hello!

Merlin | BBC's Merlin | OTA | /MAKES DO WITH NOT THE BEST ICONS RAWR

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Wow, it still looks the same.

[ It's been a while since he was here last, he can tell. It's been a while back home, too. He's surprised by how nice it is to see the City again.

That's why he spends all day just wandering. Stopping by in shops, and cafes and restaurants for food, bars and pubs or whatever you like to call them for a drink (maybe he's entering your business), just for the sake of it. All the while he looks for familiar faces to say hello to.

At one point, he stops by a big house - his old home - and after a moment's hesitation heads for the door and knocks. His hand is itching to open the door, but he doesn't actually know what's changed and if anyone still lives here at all.

By the end of the day, he'll have walked across the whole city. Night's fallen by the time he drops down on the edge of the fountain and takes a breather. ]

Re: Merlin | BBC's Merlin | OTA | /MAKES DO WITH NOT THE BEST ICONS RAWR

[charring]

[Guess who just thumped down on the fountains edge with a very familiar dragon in her arms? She's just waiting patiently for him to notice her. Affinity, however, is not. She's tugging at his sleeve, grumbling and growling playfully. Hey, Merlin. What's up?]

So what do you think? Think we can sneak home with you?

[So much for waiting. She's never been good at that, anyway.]

Ceilidh| OC | OTA

[princessstabbity]

[There's a small red haired little girl running about today getting into everyone's business. She's friendly and talkative. She's got a princess doll with her. The doll has a sword and the clothes are covered in... blood?

At times she does appear to be trailed by an adult.

But other times she's just off wild.]

[notfuckingcasper]

[Nothing out of place here.]

Watch it.

[With the zooming around he means.]

Spock: Star Trek IV; voice + action

[onedamnminute]

voice;

[ Spock shuns the city's communicator, and instead opens his own to a wide band frequency to offer a greeting. ]

I would be grateful if someone would care to direct me toward an individual in a position of authority.

[ And then on a closed, emergency Starfleet frequency a hundred years out of date. ]

This is Spock, formerly of the Enterprise. Request further information, orders. Spock out.


action;

[ Spock can be found nearby the fountain tinkering with his Starfleet communicator. He's still dressed in this flannel monstrosity, though the band has been lost and it's drenched from top to bottom. It's fortunate for the sunshine. Were it earlier in the month, he would be shaking by now, unaccustomed and unprepared for the tumbling temperatures.

Also he was just in San Francisco Bay, clinging perilously to a crashed Klingon Bird of Prey. Don't ask. ]

— action

[rear]

[ the fact that he's been here before should bother him, but it doesn't. the fact of the matter is that admiral james kirk has been through stranger in the past twenty-four hours than he did the last time he found himself on the city's doorstep. and at least this time this place has the decency to ask before ripping him from his-world-but-not-his-time. it was a complicated matter, likely less complicated than the goings on here, but a matter he would rather get back to seeing to than wandering around aimlessly, unsure of whether or not he wants to run into his younger, alternate counterpart again.

because that had gone well, as had— wait, is that spock? his spock? ] Oh, thank God.

[ speaking to the other spock hadn't gone too well, either. both men — himself and spock — had seemed vehemently against the mere idea of him for reasons he both understood and not. it was the strangest thing, but he supposed being aware of him and then meeting him was much the same for them, too. jarring, at the very least. ]

Let me guess; you took a wrong turn at Albuquerque?

Angela Montenegro | Bones | OTA

[artsyfartsybaby]

[You know, she's gotten used to coming and going in this place, but the infant she's bouncing on her hip isn't quite feeling the same. He's cranky and it's past his naptime and the stroller Angela is battling with just doesn't want to flip open. And you know what? To hell with the stroller. Tossing it to the side, she plops down on a nearby bench and lays the kid across her lap, stomach down, patting his back as he continues to fight sleep.

Maybe if he falls asleep fast enough, she'll have time to socialize with some familiar faces. She sure does miss having free time.]

[whitetwoguns]

We'll I'll be a monkey's uncle.

[She's a grown woman and they do have babies. Somehow she does it just so---easily and gracefully. How was she ever not no one's mama?]

McCoy // Star Trek (TOS) // OTA

[countrydoctor]

[It was sure nice to actually walk through a door this time. Usually when these things happen, Doctor McCoy finds himself yanked away from sickbay for no good reason. He had time to change into civvies and everything.

The good doctor alternates between wandering around the center of the City and making a nuisance of himself at the hospital. There's been a Starfleet presence in this place for years and all they have to show for it is a dermal regenerator that that curly-haired Chekov made out of scrap? It's appalling.

He'll stop pestering doctors if they scare up some whiskey.]

/dusts this account off just for you ♥

[symbiont]

[ there's a functioning transporter and an array of other installments and in projects in progress, but of course, emony is blissfully unaware of these facts. all she knows is that she received a rather intriguing invitation to a far-off land and ever the adventurist, unable to resist curiosity's temptation, decided to take a trip to the other side.

of course, she didn't anticipate being unable to return or being hit with a rush of memories from when she visited this place once before. how it managed to stay separate from the rest of her lifetimes worth of memories is beyond her, but at least she isn't wandering about as aimlessly as the rest. and there's a least one familiar face to be spotted in the vicinity of the hospital. ]

Just can't stay away, can you?

Ikuto Tsukiyomi | Shugo Chara

[deviantstray]

[And here's one annoyed cat boy walking around.]

So I'm back to this place again.... This place just loves to mess with you, doesn't it....?

[And with that, she's going to just go to somewhere secluded and play his violin.]

[sitaronthewater]

[He hears the sound of an instrument and is immediately drawn to it. He follows the sound to the person that's playing it. Then he sees the hair and the face and- oh, okay, need to wait until he finishes the song. But he's kinda bouncing on his feet in wait.]

Seccom Masada-sensei || Yume Nikki || OTA (text/action;)

[thepianoman]

[This is definitely not his spaceship, Mars, or Madotsuki's consciousness. This isn't natural. He studies the device in his hand, not understanding what's going on at all. Where is he? Why do things feel almost... wrong in a way?

Masada fiddles with the device a bit more and manages to get a message across the network]

S.O.S. Destination unknown. Send backup ship immediately to current position.

[For now he goes to find a bench to sit on, get weird looks from people (because he's a really tall, body suit wearing, mouthless, googly eyed alien), and figure out that he's in the "real world."]

clary fray ; the mortal instruments

[cupio]

[ At first she's confused, her hand on her angel blade on the tip of her tongue before she pauses. She recognises this place, she spent a year here after all. Clary may have changed ( her runes are on show for all to see, her clothing is a bit more versatile ) but this place hasn't. So she places her stele inside her pocket and leans against the fountain lip.

She had friends here, but she doesn't know which of them are still around. ]

[daylighter]

[Simon, on the other hand, has no idea what's going on. He's looking kind of bewildered and honestly wishing he had his glasses so he could clean them and see if that made anything clearer. But he recognizes someone, at least.]

FRAY!

[And he's coming on over to her, looking vaguely worried.]

Zeke Svoboda ;; OC ;; Open to Alll

[offtouch]

Um.

[Wide eyed. Looking around. Backback on. Headphones off.]

Help-?

[knighttimeremix]

[Headphones? Nice touch. Backpack's a little bit of a stretch, but ok, you can make that work. We could still pull this off. Would be better if it were bright pink or something.

Suddenly Dave is there right on Zeke's side- or was he there before and he just didn't see him??? Nah, jk, he just appeared there now.]

I heard someone call for a knight to rescue them?

Death | The Sandman | OTA

[highcostofliving]

[Don't mind her. She's just taking a stroll about staying under the wide, dark shadow of her umbrella. So nice to see so many familiar faces for another time that isn't coming or going.]

[perfectgentility]

[Do excuse the roaming anachronism.]

Pardon me, but we've met, have we not?

Mr. White (Larry) | Reservoir Dogs | OTA

[whitetwoguns]

Fuck me. This again?

Voice

[trenchknives]

Shit, Jesus fuckin' Christ, is it really you?

Miles Morales \ Ultimate Comics Spider-Man \ OTA

[spiderkid]

[He was supposed to go through an interdimensional portal to the universe the giant purple guy came from. He was supposed to end up somewhere near the Baxter Building. He was not supposed to end up... in the City? Suddenly months of memories come flashing back to him.

At least he avoided landing in the fountain this time.

Well, now that he's here, might as well have a look around. Already prepped in his Spider-Man uniform, he takes to the side streets, back alleys, and rooftops of the City, looking for crime to stop or anything that just generally looks interesting.]

[bookbending]

[Jinora's on a rooftop near the main square, keeping an eye out for her family while avoiding the crowds. Roofs are usually pretty quiet. Not a lot of people run around on them, except for--]

Miles?

[She's hesitant, just in case it's someone else in a costume. It could happen.]

FINNICK ODAIR | The Hunger Games | Open!

[killerstyle]

[THIS SURE IS A HANDSOME DUDE CHILLING DOWN BY THE BEACH/FOUNTAIN/LOCALE OF YOUR CHOICE.

APPROACH Y/N?]

[desiredhertobetheirqueen]

[THIS SURE IS A QUEEN LOOKING FOR HIM OUT AT THE BEACH. APPROACH IN 5....4...3...2....1.........]

Finnick?

Finnick!

Hiyori Tamura | Lucky ☆ Star | Open

[doujin_dork]

[She hasn't been back here since- well, she left. She's been going around rather quietly, seeing if there's anyone that still remembers her, and it's a little bit exhausting. She decides to prop up on a bench in the Square, drawing pad out, sketching.]

Sergeant Angua | Discworld | Open

[badhairlifetime]

[Of all the days she had to get stuck in the City, it had to be near the full moon. Damn it. On Friday, she can kind of control it, Saturday, she's had to go and Change, and remember the back entrance of that butcher, and hope she still has some currency back at her old place so that she can repay him. Sunday, she's alright, and can be seen on the outskirts of shadows, strolling- no, patrolling around for anyone that strikes a chord.]

[OoC: You should probably decide which day you run into her.]

Captain Hammer | Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Pre-Penny's Death) | Open

[amansgottadowhat]

[His side of the conversation comes in loud and clear over the network, unaware that it's recording.]

Well, well, hello there, miss, might I say, you're looking lovely as ever- Oh, I'm sorry, we haven't met before? Hello, my name is Captain Hammer. Why, yes! I find it delightful enough to laugh at, myself! Ha ha. Of course, just do be sure that we meet again before I get to leave.

[anunluckypenny]

Captain Hammer?

[Well. That's... a thing. It seems polite to say hello.]

Captain Hammer | Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Post-Penny's Death) | Open

[amansgottadowhat]

[GROSS SOBBING]

[OoC: Always wanted to do this to him. This can be the last day. Assume he went back on Saturday night, came back like this on Sunday morning.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Guess who's here to comfort you, Hammer.]

Aww, what's wrong, big boy...?

Lady | Devil May Cry

[solinvictus]

[This have better be temporarily, City, Lady was doing relatively well up until now. This is so not even funny. She's not even sure if it's worth being exasperated.]

Great. I suppose I should be a little happy I didn't walk into an exploding building twelve or something.

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Guess who's walking along and immediately stops when he sees Lady? It's her sassy gay friend! He's almost afraid to approach her but... she'll probably beat his ass if he ignores her]

... Lady?

Scott McCall | Teen Wolf | OTA

[wolfteen]

[ This city isn't entirely unfamiliar to Scott. He remembers spending the odd day or two here before, so he's wandering around and looking for people in particular.

His best friend, to be exact. He knows Stiles is here, and he's already trying to pick up on his scent. Combined with everyone else's, that's not exactly easy, but he starts at the fountain and works from there. ]

/edits 8 billion times sorry scott

[studmuffin]

[ He's on his way back from the pharmacy with his sleeping tablets secured in his backpack when he notices him. He'd see that uneven jaw anywhere. The last time Scott was here - well things didn't go very okay and he's maybe still a little wary of that so he doesn't run and fling himself at Scott like he should.

( Like he wants to, because the nightmares have been so bad and he's been so lost and when was the last time he got to be with his best friend? )

Instead he calls out, an amused but not quite tilt to his voice. ] So you're a bloodhound now.

Henry Letham | Stay | OTA

[practicingforhell]

[There's this guy wandering around the City. He's wandered around it before and not just on visitor days, but who's left from so many years ago? He's rocking the hobo look and asking anyone who'll stop and listen if they've got a spare cigarette. And a light. And maybe some change.]

Commander Chekov | Star Trek TOS (circa The One With the Whales) | OTA

[inwented_in_russia]

[One minute he's searching the streets of twentieth century San Francisco for directions to nuclear vessels; the next Chekov's in a very different city, and Uhura is nowhere to be seen. His communicator isn't working, either. Typical.

But Chekov is not a Starfleet Commander for nothing. He sets about searching for one of these network devices the locals keep mentioning, certain that he can find the right frequency to hail the rest of the away team.]

[rear]

[ the last time he'd stumbled across a chekov in these parts, it had been... well, quite the experience, that's for sure. chekov had been, by far, the easiest to speak to out of the members of his crew that came from that godforsaken alternate timeline that had his other self all riled up. the young ensign had answered his questions without protest, spoken to him without hesitation or malice — quite refreshing after the lack of warm welcomes that he received from his other self and the other spock. but this chekov is his, just like spock (and bones, though bones was cheating and hailed from some time earlier than the rest of them). ]

Chekov! What on Earth are you looking for? Hopefully not the Enterprise. [ because she's gone and that nuclear vessel is back in the 1980s. ]

Dave Strider | Homestuck | Open; tell me if I shouldn't use the font

[knighttimeremix]

[A young man stands on a short building, today just so happens to be the day where nothing he does really matters, in the scheme of things. Although, he does seem to be quite relaxed, despite the (broken) sword slung over his shoulders. It's hard to see if he's looking at anything, due to the sunglasses on his face, and the pokerface, also on his face. He is on his iPhone, clicking, he posts to the network.]

what up whose life needs bettering by my presence

Doc Brown | Back to the Future | open forever.

[what_the_flux]

[ Doc is back in the City this weekend, but he doesn't arrive in the DeLorean - instead, he's in a freaking flying train that touches down in an empty spot of street just off the square.

The door opens - folding both down and up, revealing steps that Doc himself steps down (without the family) and glances around in excited interest. It's been quite some time since he was last here, but his travels do have a habit of making time more flexible than it is for most. ]

[candothat]

[Naturally, Chekov is all over the flying train, scanning it with the tricorder he'd been attempting to use on the door. All scientific pursuits are put on hold when Doc steps out.]

Doctor Brown! [Best science buddy! There's some excited flailing as Chekov makes his way over to give Doc a hug.] You have a flying train!
