TEAM YZMA LOG

[recollecters]

TEAM YZMA

READY: START Team Yzma roster: Carmen Sandiego, Dave Strider, Elizabeth, Emil Vasterstrom, Juzo Sakakura, Lucy/Kaede, Penelo, Seto Kaiba, Shouto Todoroki, Souji Seta, Yato. The city's been under siege for what feels like hours. It's only on August 3rd that you learn it's been a matter of days. Monsters begin pulling Retrospec users through portals left and right, large gaping holes in reality that spit you out in any given location around the city. However, just as you think you're finally getting away, a large blue portal opens and you're snatched up. No amount of fighting and struggling will free you and soon the pressure is too great to ignore. Darkness fills your vision and the last thing you may remember is the sound of thunder... This is the Team Yzma Event Log. You are free to toplevel and thread as you choose on this log, but only team members may utilize this log.

MEET & GREET (threadjack away)

[parodeity]

[ all right, cool, THIS MAY AS WELL FUCKING HAPPEN. so after waking up in the dark and locating everyone one by one, and the whole radio thing (the twilight zone?) they finally have achieved actual light beyond dim ipod lighting probably.

dave recognizes some but not all of the people around; so that's...a thing. ]

Welcome to the Twilight Zone, apparently - uh, I do not know everyone, I'm Dave. Time's bein' weird still, for the record - does everyone have all their limbs and shit after all the fightin'? Also what the fuck.

[ he sounds calm despite, you know, everything. why this. also he's wearing his shades even in the terrible lighting. WHY THAT.

also he has a friendly ghost shadowing him still. ]

[doitrockapella]

Language.

[THUS REMARKS THE RESPONSIBLE (?) ADULT IN THE ROOM, absentmindedly, as she keeps her eyes moving from wall to wall with an occasional glance up at the ceiling for good measure.]

[mincingminuet]

[Followed by a little squid creature Pen looks at the group, already a little on edge. This isn't made any easier by the sudden lack of cell service as she jabs at her phone. The number of people in the room, the weird voice...all of that has her teeth rattling. And given that the only people she recognizes Dave, Kaiba, and Lucy...you bet she's a little twitchy.]

Ah...yeah, I'm fine. [Though she sounds a little reedy, which may be unsettling, given that she's got a small handgun strapped to her hip and an enormous spear held in one hand.]

I'm Pen. Ah. Penelope. And what the fuck. Where the shit are we?

[Sorry Carmen.]

[parodeity]

For the record, I'm goin' with "probably not Kansas".

[ thanks dave. he has no apparent weapons, but he also has. hammerspace. so. ]

[parodeity]

What the shit?

[ which swear words are acceptable here.

also spook dogg bobs happily over to carmen to smile cheerfully at her. see emote above. HE'S SO HAPPY, AND SO USELESS, ]

[doitrockapella]

[oh my god]

Try again.

[IS THIS REALLY THE HILL WE'RE GOING TO DIE ON TODAY, CARMEN. IS IT REALLY.]

[elevelvetor]

[ Elizabeth's just glad she knows some people here, hi, damn—her monster's still with her, thankfully, but it's fairly spooked and keeps making jingly noises.

Also, for completion's sake, she's dressed like this. Sans the hair/wig. Including the sword. It's cosplay until it's not!! ]

I remain unharmed, for the most part. [ Bruises.... ] Kiki's fine as well, if a little rattled. Though, I can't say I blame it...

[ This is kind of. You know. She can roll with a lot of things but this stuff isn't really one of those things? Yeah. ]

Ah, [ for everyone who doesn't know her, she's giving a small bow. A very small one. This skirt is awful. ] My name is Elizabeth Velveteen, and this is my companion, Kiki. It's rather shy and rather useless, so please be kind to it.

[parodeity]

Kiki's a cute name, still.

[ HELPFUL ]

[elevelvetor]

I think so as well, if a bit uninspired. Mr. Sauveterre mentioned that it's a Klefki. [ ... ] Which makes its name, well, key-key, as "clef" is "key" in French.

[glaciers]

I'm not missing my limbs. Two arms and two legs.

[God, what's happening. Why is this his real life now...?]

I'm Shouto... Are we seriously in 1953...?

[He's not currently on fire or iced over, but his shirt is definitely half burned off. The fate of all Shouto's shirts, it seems. He wonders if it's some kind of curse...]

[mincingminuet]

Maybe?

[Awkwardly, she stands up, leaning heavily on the spear.]

I'm not sure. That computer doesn't look like it's from the 50s...

[glaciers]

Maybe it's an alternate 50s... I don't know.

[Shouto's right foot is... icy? He doesn't seem to be aware of it though.]

[elevelvetor]

I wish they'd given us proper clothing if we were, honestly. The 50s had such adorable fashion.

[ #priorities ]

[glaciers]

Fashion...? I guess it would be different.

[Well who knows how long they'll be here, so sure, let's indulge her.]

[parodeity]

I actually don't think so. I...feel like I'd know if we were in the past?

[long_live_the_queen]

[Christ, her head hurt. Lucy was by default in a bad mood, but this wasn't helping things in the least. Her first response was an irritable snap.]

I have extra ones if you're missing any.

[There's some creepy discordant resonance coming from Lucy's corner of the room, the smell of old blood, and a slouching figure trying to stand.]

I'm not sharing.

[crushcard]

...... then why did you offer?

[ super deadpan. I'm so sorry for his general moodiness. ]

[frisyr]

[ He blinks ]

Um, okay.

[ And then he says: ]

Err, I didn't catch your name.

Re: MEET & GREET (threadjack away)

[frisyr]

Every single one.

[ He is relieved to see Dave here tbh. and also Carmen. ]

This is.... not what I expected either, by the way.

[ There's a slimey thing on Emil's shoulder, it is trying to make friends with ghosty. ]

Oh. And hi everyone, I'm Emil. Um, I think I've at least seen most of you before. I'm betting this is all being recorded...

[parodeity]

[ dave pats emil on the shoulder absently. the one that does not have a slime?

SPOOK DOGG BOBS HAPPILY NEAR THE SLIME. friends!!!!! ]

At least we're all in one piece for the time bein'.

[crushcard]

[ if this is recorded this is going to be a really great reality tv show.

not.

rip everyone. ]

I don't think anyone expected this when we were all picked up by a portal.

[ someone sounds bitter!!! ]

[tarotcards]

Can you see with those shades on?

[ gotta address dave with a most important question first but anyway, what a peculiar situation they've gotten themselves into... well, after these past six~seven months, souji is pretty used to weird so he's not fazed too much. he'll introduce himself to everyone like it's a casual summer party. ]

I'm Souji. Let me know if you're hurt and need healing. Or to set something on fir--

[ souji gets interrupted when his companion bumps him to suddenly move to the middle of the room and... attempt to dig a hole. hm. yeah. hm. ]

... Shovel-san, stop.

[ well, if anyone wants a shovel for some reason then here u go ]

[parodeity]

Yeah, no worries. They're easy to see with.

[ ......................

...................................................... ]

I mean, maybe that's one way out? [ HE'S A HOMESTUCK AND YET HE'S NOT SURE WHAT TO THINK OF SHOVEL-SAN ]

[crushcard]

[ rip shovel san your face will be missed. not. ]

...... unless you're fairly certain that setting things on fire and digging a hole when we're already underground is going to help us get out of this place, I don't think that's very useful at the moment.

[ SORRY? HE'S NOT BEING MEAN ON PURPOSE? he's just. stating facts like it is, sorry souji.......

although he's definitely not sorry, but there's a frustrated sound from where he's standing. ]

The healing's useful, at least.

[ that's not very helpful but w/e ]

[glaciers]

... That makes two of us with fire. It's probably not a good idea in an enclosed room like this though.

[Oh right.]

I can make ice. A lot of it, if we need it for anything... Or if we get thirsty.
