"Hey, don't let me get in the way of your....bizarre order." Ever the sarcastic witch, she had no patience for standing in line. Agatha hated standing in line. At least in her former brainwashed state (when she been a decorated detective, but not really) She could use the excuse of official police business. "Do you need help ordering, because we need to get this show on the road." There was something off about the way the stranger was handling her sandwich order. "Salami is a good choice." Agatha faked a smile. @liiifewaster

Helena hovered near the deli counter, her crumpled list in one hand as she stared at the meats behind the glass. After a moment, she tapped near the salami, then hesitated when the deli worker raised an eyebrow. “Uh… this one,” she started, hesitant, then quickly shook her head. “No, not that. The… longer one?” She waved her hands, trying to mimic the shape. “Yeah, that looks right. Is that much for a sandwich?” When the worker questioned how much she wanted, she blinked, clearly thrown by the unexpected question. “How many is normal? Like… a lot, or just a little?” she asked, her voice genuinely curious. A sound behind her reminded her that there was in fact a line for the deli counter, and Helena turned with an apologetic shrug. “Patient please, sandwich is harder for parts than I expect.” She flashed them an apologetic smile, trying to hide the agitation at hand, before glancing back at the worker. “Just give whatever a sandwich needs. You are expert.”

"Rain?" The witch cackled. "I certainly hope not." Agatha had never liked the rain much, being nomadic for most of her life, rain meant turmoil and strife. No good for meandering in the woods or marshes. "You've lived a pampered life then?" The bar was low for Agatha, surviving on her own for centuries, the only comfort she had known was the home that Wanda had conjured for her, with her fake husband and her fake life. Not that THAT had been comforting however, as she had no control of the situation. @divincechoes

❧ open to all ❧ near the beach

Thunder to be heard in the distance as clouds closed in. It was a beautiful display for those that could appreciate the wonderment of a storm, the harshness of a tidal wave or even just the gust of a strong wind. Fall had come and gone, and with it the increase in the grey that seemed to cloud the entirety of the world around. Every now and then Bonanus felt as though there was something beyond those clouds, like she had a connection somewhere far away. For a split second, before she'd push those thoughts away. Distraction was easy to come by.

In the corner of her eye she noted movement, causing her turn to with face full of wonderment. "Do you think we'll get some rain later?" Always the rain enthusiast.

"Oh." Selina forced a smile, not wanting to be misconstrued as ungrateful, but she was tired of fish. She imagined most people here were, but at least she'd gotten EXTREMELY lucky and got bunked with a chef. Selina learned there was seemingly endless ways to prepare fish. "You spoil us." She reached out to stroke one of her cats, cleo, absent-mindedly. "Did you have pets where you're from?" Of course, conversation with Selina always came back to cats. "You would make an excellent cat mom." She laughed. "How did you get into cooking, anyway? Was it always your dream job?"

sydney was drawn out of her hyper focus as she heard her new roommate enter. cooking had always demanded all the energy she could give, not that she minded, especially making food for other people. “hey welcome back. i made fish florentine…not much out here other than fish to work with, but I did my best.” the lack of resources didn’t allow her to be as creative with her cooking as she liked, but she could get by. “made some fish patte for you cats too.” sydney smiled, petting a tiny calico cat.

"It's cold out, I presume." Dany smiled a little, not trying to belittle her new friend, but wanted to come off as "playful" or at least bring some levity to the situation. Not that Dany had ever been one to make a jest, at least not often. Not that she'd had much of an opportunity, having had a stressful life, constantly traveling, worrying about thousands of mouths to feed. She was a Queen, and she'd had a lot on her mind for most of her life. "Are you in distress?" Dany's smile faded as she pulled the covers off of herself, rising to join Ellie around the flame. "Can I help in some way?"

@rocklansd (agatha and daphne)

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Agatha was pacing the floor, practically burning a hole in the rug. "I can't make it work." It was all rhetorical of course, not caring who was listening or feeling any need to elaborate. "Just...sparks..." The witch was clearly struggling with something, wringing her hands together as she stared out the window. "Why can't we leave here?" Her tone was terse, as she addressed Daphne specifically this time. "Who are you, anyway?" Agatha surveyed her roommate, if that's who she was. "Pretty, young thing." At least focusing on this stranger, this cell mate, took her mind off of her turmoil.

[starrcrxssed]

Agatha stood and listened. He sure was a talker. "You done?" She smiled, but it was hollow and devoid of empathy. "I've been trying to fight my way out, but it's starting to feel like a lost cause." Agatha placed her hands a few inches about, swirling her fingers around rhythmically, but nothing happened. "Damn it." She tried again, but failed once more to manifest the powers she'd been drained of. "DAMN it!" This time screaming into the void with extreme frustration. "You got any better ideas about getting the hell out of here? I've got shit to do, back at the cove." @allthatglxtters

@ivycovestarters || Location: Piltover

Andras wasn't sure he'd ever been more disoriented. One minute he was a wolf, dying in the woods and the next he was standing in another world, with memories of a life in yet another different world mingling with his real ones. The fae had no idea how he'd come to be here or how he was alive, but that didn't change the fact that he was.

Wandering around this massive city, he'd found himself in Piltover, studying the machines and architecture with some awe. He'd seen other courts before, tall buildings and impressive magic nothing new, but Piltover and Zaun were both dramatically different from Spring.

Andras found himself standing in a large square just, studying a building on the opposite end and shaking his head. "It's incredible, how vastly different the world can be. If this is even the same world at all. Hard to wrap my head around."

[starrcrxssed]

"I have no idea, honey." Her tone was neutral, as she'd already exhausted herself trying to find answers, herself. Selina surveyed the man before her, sizing him up. "you've got a little bit of a temper, huh?" She laughed, unable to hide her amusement. "You're gonna teach em' a lesson then?" She found him amusing, his anger so intense. "Writing them a strong-worded letter, I assume. Words seem to come easy for you, and so intense." There was an emphasis on the last word. "I don't have any answers, but I'm just as curious as you are, and you know what they say about cats and curiosity, don't you?" @ofcelestialstories

@ivycovestarters || Location: Northern Water Tribe

.｡.:*☆ "So, what exactly is this place?" Lestat was mildly curious, to say at least. Yet, it was a surprise he was acting so calm about this all. At least, to those who did not know he'd been trashing his place earlier after waking up in a bed that was not his own. All his belongings gone. When saying he was bored about being immortal... well, let's just say, this was not the kind of distraction the vampire had been asking for.

"Also, who brought is here? Because I surely need to make this person understand they can not do something like this to me without having to suffer the consequences of it...."

[starrcrxssed]

She could see the disappointment on the other woman's face. Seh felt sorry that she couldnt provide her any comfort, but it was the blind leading the blind, as she'd heard someone use that phrase. "I've heard of it." Dany smiled a little, coyly. "But my experience with it had been brief. "Umbrella." Dany repeated,seemingly lost in thought as she considered the word. "That is that tool that stops the rain from falling on you, isn't that correct? I'm afraid that's all I know about the word."

The other didn't provide the answers she was hoping for, but she couldn't judge. It seemed the white haired other was in perhaps the same boat as her. "I'm from the united states. I haven't really had a real place to rest my head in awhile." She admitted honestly. She stayed on the move to keep up with the antics and problems caused by Umbrella. "Does the company Umbrella sound familiar to you?" She questioned a bit cautiously.

DAENERYS TARGARYEN game of thrones, 2011-2019

[starrcrxssed]

She'd been to many strange places in her young life. You could say Dany had spent most of her years traveling. Seven hells, she didn't even have a place she considered "home" after needing to be evacuated as a mere babe from the place she had been born. For all she knew, this strange new place could be as much of a home as any. Daenerys heard a strange voice calling out, and turned in the direction from whence it came to see if it was she who was being addressed. "Hello" Dany called back, listening to the rest of what this woman was saying. "I wish I knew." The targaryen shook her head, not knowing what to say to this stranger to comfort her. "I'm afraid I have no idea." There was a small sigh, as though this journey had been a mild inconvenience to the would-be-queen. "where is it you come from?" Perhaps more information would help @seccndchances

@ivycovestarters (Piltover & Zaun)

Claire dropped down from the side of the building in the under city of Zaun. She had woken up in a strange place, surrounded by strange inventions and her first thought had simply been another Umbrella trap. So she did the only thing she could do, find some high ground and search. If she was trapped in an experiment, she would not be caught off guard, not this time at least. "Where the heck am I." She questioned primarily to herself as he observed the steampunk esqe characters moving about. "Excuse me." She called out to the first person she felt comfortable approaching. "Do you know what this place is?" She questioned.

GAME OF THRONES Season 1, Episode 10 dir. Alan Taylor

[starrcrxssed]

"Used to the cold." Dany smiled. "I wish I could say the same." Being fire incarnate meant that she was weaker in the cold. Sapped of her vitality in a way. Perhaps she was just being dramatic, but Daenerys had never felt weaker. "Where I come from, it's warm all year round." Sure, she'd faced some undesirable weather on her long journey to King's Landing, but not this. Never this unyielding, relentless, sharp bite of cold. "I've seen snow...." She vaguely remembered. It held such painful memories that subconsciously locked themselves up as a coping mechanism. "Is there any way to make it....less....painful?"

@starrcrxssed // daenerys targaryen & winipa

winipa was surprised she didn't hate this as much as she would. she felt as if she didn't have time to worry about what was actually out there in ivy cove. she had thought she had caught glimpses of roan, that he had found her... especially that day in the woods. but now, in this strange snowy, icy world... she couldn't think about that. this place eminded her too much of azgeda, how was she supposed to know if queen nia was lurking around. "i'm used to cold..." the girl finally speaks, taking a small inhale of cold air. "though, i'm sure some people aren't goin to be too happy to find themselves surrounded by snow, and ice."

[starrcrxssed]

"Woah there." Yelena lifted her hands in a mock surrender. She laughed a little. "Shit just got intense real quick." She swirled her glass, causing the ice to clang around the sides. "You say this world is...fucking with you?" Slightly ignoring the part it fucking with all of them. She was more interested in the singular. The girl interested her, especially the meltdown part. "I have no idea why we're here, but I plan to make the best of it." Yelena chugged the remainder of liquid from her glass.

@tclerateiit

@starrcrxssed // yelena & octavia (piltover & zaun)

octavia was tired of this world. she was tired of the fact that things seemed so hell bent on making sure that she was never comfortable for long. she wouldn't have necesarilly classified herself as comfortable back in ivy cove, but it had brought lincoln back to her. and even though, she was so angry at him, she knew he was there. and truthfully, her anger couldn't have lasted that long. but now... she was starting to wonder if she would even get that chance too. "this whole world is fucking with me..." she mumbles, staring down the drink in front of her. "i think it's fucking with all of us, and i'm just tired of not knowing what is going to happen next. what or who they're going to take from us."

[starrcrxssed]

"It's quite overwhelming." Diana nodded, wholeheartedly agreeing. "And I've seen a lot in my lifetime." There was a slight smile behind her eyes. "Where is it you come from?" Diana could find peace just about anywhere, being hyper adaptive. She'd had to be, as she'd seen and done a lot in the past few thousand years. Long ago she'd been isolated on themyscira with her fellow amazons, but she'd evolved and reinvented herself so many times since then.

@starrcrxssed // diana prince & nisha (baldurs gate)

baldurs gate was beautiful... but it was not her home. she had begun to make a home in ivy cove, a home that was safe where she did not have to worry about death, and the loop and the gods. she had even been attempting to figure some things out with valeria. god... valeria was not going to take kindly to this in the slightest. and she had no way to get to her. stuck in this world like she was. "i've never lived in such a big city befoe..." nisha says softly shaking her head. "i have to admit i'm a little overwhelmed by it all, especially the people."
