OPEN RP 2.0

have I mentioned Joss Whedon is a flawless human being? Joss Whedon is a flawless human being. And ftr that's him. If you didn't know.

Now that I have your attention, this is my new open RP post! Mostly because my old one was getting a little crowded and I want to play ALL THE MASSIVELY COOL PEOPLE on my muse list who I keep not playing/not even giving userpics. So this is the ~experimental zone~ where I try new people and new things.

SO! Here's how it works.

1. Pick one of your characters.
2. Post a comment with an image or a gif or a poem or nothing at all idgaf make me do all the work without inspiration if you want.
3. Put the name of one of my characters or tell me it's my choice.
4. I will respond both with the character of your choice and with someone COMPLETELY NEW AND UNEXPECTED because seriously it's ridiculous how many of these people I haven't used.
5. FUN WILL BE HAD.

Now go forth! Comment! I may be slow as balls on some of these people BUT I WILL PLOD AHEAD. AND EVEN GIVE THEM USERPICS AND SHIT. JUST WATCH ME.

[Dib's come to Maine following some rumors within the Swollen Eyeball Network about some magical activity there. Of course, he'd made sure the Earth wouldn't be in danger while he was gone. He'd made Gaz solemnly swear to call him or stop Zim WHATEVER THE COST. Okay, she hadn't so much solemnly sworn as said "Whatever" and punched him, but he was pretty sure it qualified.

He parachutes down from a helicopter he's borrowed and lands, looking pretty cool if he does say so himself. Then he peeks out from the alley in which he lands, catching sight of a man... and a dog.

Suspicious.

He bursts out of the alley, runs towards the man and stops right in front of him, looking as threatening as a tiny boy with a big head can.]

Are you a witch? Huh? ARE YOU?

[With the curse broken and magic restored, August finds himself no longer a puppet. He also finds himself with friends and family from so long ago that both know who he is and how he's failed in his duties towards Emma. But those duties are over now. She believes, she's reunited with her parents, and...

He's not sure if he can bear to be reunited with his father now. Not when Geppetto will actually know who he is.

So he does what he always does when the responsibility gets too great. He tries to sneak away.]

[Killian probably should have stopped stealing now that he's in this brave new world. Being good in a fight didn't count for much when the other side had guns, and being a one-handed man in outlandish clothes tended to make for a recognisable thief. It wasn't long before he started attracting attention of bigger law enforcement agencies than the Storybrooke sheriff's department. Perhaps it would have been helpful to understand the concepts behind security cameras.

Which is why he's now sitting, handcuffed, in an interrogation room, doing his best to look innocent.]

It wasn't me.

[As usual, there is lots of mystery and controversy surrounding David Xanatos. It's not surprising at all that he's suspected in the recent theft of files containing information about a secret government weapon project. But he's perfectly cordial to the detective sent to investigate him. Probably because he's glad it's not Elisa Maza on the case. No, he'd have acted equally polite to anyone who came to investigate him because he claims he has nothing to hide.

More accurately, it's all hidden too well for him to worry about nosy detectives coming across any evidence of wrong-doing. He leads Detective Morasca to his office.]

Would you like drinks or anything? Owen can bring you something.

[GUESS WHAT YOU CAN'T ESCAPE.

GO ON.

GUESS.

Geppetto might miss the connection when it comes to the fact that his son might have been right in front of him the whole time, but Jiminy Cricket- er... Archie Hopper... whoever the hell he is doesn't. August can barely sneak out Granny's back door before there's a ginger ex-cricket meeting him.]

You're leaving already? You haven't even said "hello" yet.

[Pongo responds by BARKING LIKE HELL, which he'd been doing since the helicopter. Who flies a helicopter into Storybrooke. Apparently... children with impossibly big heads do. Who even gave that kid a license...

Still, being a guy who got turned into a cricket and then brought to Maine and turned back into a person by a magic curse, he can't really talk about weirdness. He just shooshes Pongo.]

I'm sorry. Am I a witch? No. Of course not. [She lives in the big house down there... somewhere...] Um... Where did you come from?

[This probably isn't the right hospital to steal blood bags from.

The doctors may all be too busy (or too compelled) to notice a few teens coming in and getting a snack, but the Janitor is never busy. That might explain all the unmopped floors around the hospital, actually...

Right now, he's in the closet next to the blood fridges when he hears some noise that makes him come out.

There's a stuffed, dead squirrel on his head.

Don't comment on it. :| ]

What are you doing?

[They'd ordered take-out. It's a little risky because people always get suspicious when pizza boys go missing on their rounds, and it'll be very clear which house he went to last, but that's okay. It isn't their house.

The pizza boy's lying dead on the floor, and Spike has settled in with the actual pizza. He slides her the box.]

As much fun as hunting is, you've got to admit this is bloody satisfying.

[August has his typewriter out and is hanging out in a cafe in New York, typing up stories. Okay, so his version of writing mostly involves writing up the histories of his friends back in the Enchanted Forest more than actually making things up, but the rest of the world doesn't need to know that. It's a living.

He's taking a short break to look around when his eye happens to catch Kate's. He shoots her a grin.]

[Oh. Awkward. August freezes, looking around desperately for an escape, but none presents itself.]

I already played my part. [Or failed to play his part. It worked out in the end anyway.] This isn't my story anymore.

[Kate smiles back, and then gets up from her seat because she was about to throw away her napkin that she had used as a plate for her now finished muffin, anyway. She's still carrying her coffee -- which is, of course, her usual order of a grande skim latte with two pumps of sugar free vanilla.

She stops near his table.]

A typewriter? [She's both amused and impressed.] A laptop is more portable, you know. [She teases him slightly there, with a small smile on her lips again.]

That's none of your business. [He says it suspiciously like the fact that Archie's questioning Dib's origins is just MORE EVIDENCE THAT HE'S CLEARLY A WITCH OR SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL.]

How about an alien? Huh? Is that face a mask hiding your disgusting green alien face? ARE YOU AN IRKEN?

[Dib: Master of paranormal investigation.]

[She's a bit younger than Harry's usual clientele, but she's got money, and Harry needs it. Plus, she's a young girl who needs his help. Harry's always had what he'd refer to as a chivalry and what Murphy'd refer to as chauvinism. Whatever it was, it made it hard for him to say no when a girl asked for his help.

Which was too bad, because he was pretty sure this girl a few cards short of a full deck.]

You want me to find a way to Neverland. You mean with Peter Pan and Captain Hook and all that? [The Nevernever is easy enough for him to get to. But he's pretty sure that's not what the girl is looking for.]

[Why is Princess Etain at Winterfell? Idk she just is. And Sansa's sitting with her as a bard sings a merry ballad about romance and love and all that fun stuff. Sansa leans towards her conspiratorially.]

I'm soon to be of an age to marry. I hope it's like the songs.

[Anya's taking a working vacation to Panem. It's a land that's just bursting with slighted women and really, what more can a vengeance demon ask for? Of course, here slighted is less by boyfriend cheated on me and more my boyfriend killed my sister on reality tv type stuff, but she was hardly picky. She'd made her way to District 13 using her powers to make them not question what a stranger was doing in their midst. She wasn't a spy after all. Hell, she might even give them a little help, if they made the right wish.

Okay, so her wishes didn't usually turn out well for anyone. But they'd turn out worst for the person they were aimed at. Usually.

She made her way to the hospital bedside of one of the former victors. Johanna, according to the clipboard at the bottom of her bed.]

Hi! I'm Anya. I'm here for your Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder counseling? Please, feel free to tell me anything.

[Cora had left Killian to it, trusting in his ability to make the cricket sing without her help. Killian was fine with that. He'd always been better at getting his hand dirty.

He hasn't even started yet. He's just pointedly sharpening his hook and leaving Hopper ungagged, though still tied up ~~sexily~~. He raises his gaze after a moment and looks at him.]

You'll talk sooner or later. Question is, are we doing it the easy way? Or the entertaining way?

[There's a sigh, she feels like she is forever explaining this in order to get help. The upside is she's yet to get properly sectioned because she's gotten very good at scarpering before anyone can keep a hold of her.

The downside is she's not in Neverland. Because no one believes her.]

He's not actually called Peter Pan, you know, that was creative license at work. But yes, that Neverland.
