“I’m on a creeper under one of Doom’s cars and even though I know what I’m doing doesn’t mean I want to be doing it!” Kitty groaned in exasperation as she came out from under the vehicle on a rolling piece of thin metal. She looked around at the other person in the shop. “This is not how I should be utilized as a ‘tech researcher.’” She made air quotes with her smudgy hands. “What was your original job anyway? Mine was definitely not this.”

The mutant doesn’t quite know anything about driving, cursing himself for having never learned how to do so. He relied too heavily on his powers and was paying for it now. He hates walking everywhere, but will have to adjust for now. “MY DAD always told me that it never pays to be good at something. You end up doing more work you didn’t sign up for that way — do you fix up cars?” He asks gesturing to the vehicle.

he had his mask in his hands after he found out that his fear gas prop was all kinds of real. and while reed knew he was the most intelligent man on earth (excuse his arrogance), he only had an intermediate understanding of psychology. well apparently that’s all but changed now. specifically, he wanted to push the envelope on people’s fears. he wanted to see how long they could last until…well, the end. of the effects of the gas or of themselves, it didn’t really matter. “a vampire,” he noted as he saw billy decked out as alucard. “you would do well for my next project.” reed wore the mask in his hands, his eyes glazed with glee and excitement at the prospect of taking his experiments to new height. “now hold still.”

“Excuse me?” Billy asks as his gaze looks over at the masked man. He doesn’t like the tone in his voice — and is backing up. His hand reaching for the sword strapped to his hip. It had been just a toy when crafting his costume, but now it was very much real. He had the knowledge on how to use it too — not something Billy ever had practiced before now. “I’m not afraid to use this, stay away from me. I’m not letting a time experiment on me EVER AGAIN.”

lorna was always what she’d consider fit – she’d taken up kick boxing as a teen to work out her aggression, but this seemed different. suddenly, in her lara croft costume, she felt unstoppable. she maneuvered her way through the party with relative ease and determination, as if on a mission. in a way, she was. “did anyone see where that doom guy went?” she questioned, her eyes scanning the room for him. “i’m really pretty sure i could successfully punch him in the face and i don’t want to let that opportunity go.” it wasn’t a smart plan, there would be consequences, but it felt like her damn duty to do so anyway.

His hand pushes through the long blonde locks, hating that everything about his costume has become real somehow. Billy was a vampire for however temporarily this is — he may love the stories about them, but doesn’t want to have to drink blood. HE REFUSES. He needed a distraction, moving the cape out of his way as he stands next to his aunt. “I’ll help you look if you want. We could take turns punching him — sounds pretty FUN if you ask me.”

stephen wasn’t one for parties unless they were based around himself. unfortunately for him and the entirety of the forced residents of this hellscape, it wasn’t about him, but rather about… doom. the one good and shiny thing was tony was out of the doomgeons and there was what appeared to be free food and beverages. plus stephen could dress up as gandalf. the only actual noteworthy fictional sorcerer in his book. turning sharply, he accidentally hit someone with his walking stick and grimaced before shoving a piece of cheese in his mouth, “i’m so sorry, i have to get used to using this thing, are you alright?”

There’s a serious expression forming on Billy’s face as he looks over at Stephen — not one for attending parties normally. Although when it comes to dressing up though he goes all out, which is where his costume came in from being a major fan of Castlevania. Although something happened, he felt it, and not the fangs in his mouth had become real somehow.  “No, something is very wrong here.” His voice sounds slightly different, but it’s still Billy there. “My body doesn’t feel the way it should.”

cindy wondered if doom had a list of potentially dangerous to extremely dangerous people in planet doom. she remembers s.h.i.e.l.d. owning a list like that and she had to wonder if doom had the same; and if he did, she’s sure he had that list programmed into all the robots in the city. one wrong move and they were getting thrown in jail. “you think any of the older people finally figured out how to deal with the masked dingbat? i’m not sure i can deal with the weird any longer.” she’d much rather deal with supervillains from her end of the world and not…doom. reed could deal with doom.

Billy doesn’t think that he would survive well in prison — much too soft of a boy to stand up for himself in that situation. Hopefully it doesn’t ever come down to bf places in that situation, but for now he shall not ponder it. “I hope so, but I think if they had we wouldn’t be living this way still. We might have to live like this a while longer. Do you think Earth is really gone?”

when the spell that had taken over the room had hit him, erik felt a surge of… renewed senses. his sight had become better, his hearing precise, and all of it was in the working model to make him become the better predator. raising a brow, erik scanned the room - sensing memories and reading minds until he stopped upon that of another like him. ( both familial and vampiric ) approaching with grace, he gave billy a sharpened smile as he landed his walking stick down between them. “how wondrous that there is two of us here, i always did better when i had a companion.”

The transformation happens all at once, and Billy knew that this was magic — a powerful spell. Suddenly the long blonde hair seems to appear to be his own, and the fangs in his mouth are real. There’s a new set of powers within him only to be associated with having become the vampire he was dressed up as. Billy had somehow became Alucard. He lifts his head from looking at his pale skin when his grandfather approaches. His eyes flashing a cool and collected gaze, but it widens a little seeing Erik — his family. “We are lucky to have each other in this predicament. I wouldn’t want to be alone.” He says, arms resting at his side under his cloak.

she had one arm hooked with her best friend’s. this place was making her feel uneasy. she was completely unarmed and felt completely useless. “i don’t like these things.” she turned billy around and headed back down the street. “we can just go back to my place if these silly things are going to keep us from going anywhere.” kate stopped for a minute, though, glancing over at billy. “how are you holding up without your powers? are you doing alright?”

“I’m alright with that. We can hang out at your place until they go away.” Which is probably wishful thinking at least, but Billy needs to try his hand at being an optimist. Which might not work exactly, but talking to Kate is the best distraction he will admit. “I don’t like them either though, UGH. It’s exhausting, is that weird? I never realized how much I used my powers for everyday things. I didn’t even walk places before now, Kate. I just opened a portal to take myself there. I hope the dampeners are taken away sooner rather than later.” He says as he looks at his best friend.

“It’s always the things you can’t - or don’t want to - imagine that blindside you this way.” Even having lived in a refugee camp didn’t prepare her for all this seemingly random transportation. “I’ve been displaced before, and - For me, it’s just another place where you follow the rules and do your job and hope you get out eventually. It’s the people who don’t know that I’m concerned for. Without their powers? They’re going to end up learning.”

“Yeah — it really put everything into perspective for me. I never realized how much I relied on my powers until they were gone.” The mutant misses his magic everyday, even the small things like walking to places wasn’t something HE DID. Billy would portal everywhere instead to avoid the public. It’s a wake up call for sure. “We can look out for each other — especially for those that don’t know. I’m from a different reality than this one, but have come to think of it as a second home.”

There was a frown on her lips and a furrow in her brows. The robots were definitely keeping watch on all of them—maybe even more eyes on her and Billy considering they’re super or whatever—and it was proving to be a big distraction. “If I had my powers on full, I’d be webbing them up and just—ugh.” She’s not one to depend of her powers but she couldn’t deny she had it easy when she had it. Cindy let out a deep sigh before flipping through her textbook again, procrastinating on her assignment because this was seriously way below her intelligence. God, why didn’t she just enrol in the school where Reed Richards was teaching honestly. “The Overlord is weird.”

The witch would be a threat if his powers were intact, and maybe the robots knew that. There could be something about their programming to keep an eye on those that could be dangerous. Which would place the two of them on a list — not sure did that’s meant to be flattering or not. Billy looks at the textbook, never thinking that he would be back in school, but this is better than any sort of alternative. “I agree with you there. We have to tolerate the weird for now unfortunately.” Billy wonders for how long they’ll be living this way, would it be like this forever?

the robots were getting on her nerves. not only did they look like their insecure dictator, they were employees-slash-mobile surveillance cameras and it was pissing her off. cindy can’t work in peace in the restaurant without being subjected to random spot checks by the stupid robots, apparently she can’t study in peace as well. “can’t we just bury them somewhere? ugh, i hate them so much.” she covered her face, her frustration painted all over her as she slumped down on the table.

If only the witch had his abilities than he could just transport them to another reality, maybe pull everyone somewhere away from this place, but he was powerless right now. Billy just wanted to focus on his studies, not on these robots blocking their path. He leans down, taking a seat at one of the chairs. “We could always study here, but I don’t think anywhere is safe from the watchful eye of those things.” He wouldn’t be surprised if he woke up one day and they were in his bedroom. “If only I HAD MY POWERS. I’d be able to make them disappear. I guess that’s the point of the dampeners.” UGH.

“who cares?” america answered, a dangerously serious look on her face. without her powers, america’s flying abilities and super-strength were gone. suddenly doing things like cutting wood for campfires was a lot harder than it used to be. “i was trying to surprise kate and you guys with a stupid campfire outside. but the stupid tree stumps are so stupidly hard to chop now.” 

It was difficult for everyone without their abilities it seems, different struggles being experienced throughout this city they’ve been settling in. Billy doesn’t like feeling this way, looking at his hands just for nothing to happen — no glow. He focuses on America though, not on what’s gone. “Do you want help? I don’t have a machete, but I’m sure we can make a decent campfire anyway. It might just be what WE all need, a few hours with each other. to laugh. I know that I could use a distraction.” Especially since he was having a really BAD time.

[demiurgeous]

“i can’t stand it when people prattle on incessantly.”

Billy looks up at Erik, feeling a sense of safety being around his grandfather even if the other mutant didn’t know about their connection yet.  Times like this makes him wish that he could just tell him, but regardless he doesn’t move far from being next to him — keeping a little distance of course. He doesn’t want to be weird. “I can’t stand it either. It gets on my nerves, but maybe HE just likes to listen to himself talk? I — I just wish that our powers hadn’t been stripped from us.” [ @hardasiron​ ]

[demiurgeous]

“you have gotta be fucking kidding me dude.”

“I’m not kidding.” Billy admits, almost tempted to laugh, but his heart just isn’t in it. He pushes his fingers over his face with a groan before turning away from where they had been headed. “I guess we have to find somewhere else to study unless you’re okay with being surrounded by those guards.” Which were just ROBOTS, but they surely make him feel anxious the more he lingers around them even if he hasn’t done anything. [ @mccnscindy​ ]

[demiurgeous]

“did you see his face?”

Billy smiles for what seems like the first time since they got thrown into this place. “I haven’t. I’m curious as to what HE looks like, but I know better than to even consider going for a peak. I don’t want to get thrown in — what does he call it — THE DOOMGEONS? Why do you ask?” It doesn’t seem like an important detail, respecting privacy, but this was an enjoyable amount of small talk.  The mutant leans forward in his chair, pushing an empty cup of coffee away from him.

“that’s a really weird opportunity to have.”

“I think everything that we’re being forced to do here is a weird opportunity. I never thought this would happen.” The boy wonders what was going on back in his own reality, but it’s not like Billy could check with the dampening of his abilities. He hates feeling so powerless. “All we can do is make the best out of an unfortunate situation. How are you holding up with everything?”

[ @khaavri​ ]

[demiurgeous]

“none of this could have possibly gone unnoticed.”

“You’re telling me. I would think that there’s a camera on every inch of this place observing all the moves we make. How did someone get away with this?” Billy looks over at his mother, turning away from the scene that they had stumbled upon. His hand reaches out, grabbing onto her arm on instinct. It was just graffiti, but the young mutant doesn’t want to stick around to get mistaken for being the one to do it. “Do you think we should keep moving?”
