plane crazy (1 - video)

[takesyoubytheheart]

[The video flickers on, but since Mickey is not looking directly into it, it can easily be assumed it was turned on by accident. He’s tossing the starfish communicator up and down, out of bored agitation. As with most newcomers, he's wet, and not happy about his situation. He's looking around as he talks, trying to find the man whom he assumes is responsible.]

Aw, c’mon, Yen Sid! I know ya gotta be around here somewhere! We were just talkin’, I need ta know about ta do about Sora and Riku! Ya can’t just drop me off somewhere without a clue! I know ya can hear me! Why, I oughtta –

[His eye then catches on to the fact that the video is on. it's not entirely unfamiliar technology, but that is a long pause he takes as he thinks about what's going on. He blinks, and then his eyes dart around before he grins sheepishly at being caught ranting.]

… Huh! Well. Whaddya know. [Then he’ll clear his throat, trying to be a grown-up. Emphasis on trying.] H-Hiya! Don’t suppose anyone out there knows a fella named Yen Sid? Tall, human, big beard, never smiles? I’ll even settle fer the name a’ this place… and what this thing is… and why I’m all wet… gosh, I could really use a lot of help fer this one. I don’t even know where ta start!

Hm… Minnie’s always goin’ on about the right introductions… guess that’s a better start than nothin’. My name’s Mickey Mouse! Who might you all be?

[Your SFC screen now shows an alien vampire duck.

Of the scary and grumpy, but yet somehow oddly charismatic persuasion.

Either way, it's clear that it's somebody from whom you should not expect a particularly warm welcome.]

I have never heard of that name, Earthling.

Welcome to the city of Vatheon.

Video.

[takesyoubytheheart]

[... What is he even looking at. You're... gunna have to give him a minute.]

...

[Okay, minute's over.]

Huh. ... Vatheon? I've never heard of that world before. [A pause. He's here for some reason, right?] ... Is there any kinda trouble goin' on here, mister...?

[tempted to say 'mister duck' but there's a vague notion you're not related to a fowl tempered wizard.]

Video.

[warrior_king]

[Not related, no. But give him any picture of Donald and he'll notice the extreme physical resemblance with a certain superhero he knows, after which he will proceed to curse at the sky and at those damn Galaxy Guardians, before he remembers that Superduck saved his life not once, but twice. And that Superduck is really probably the closest thing to a friend he has.]

I never had, either, before my arrival here a few weeks ago. I have not been here long, but what it seems to be is an underwater prison to which individuals from different worlds are abducted. Even so, it is strangely comfortable and welcoming of its many guests.

You belong to Earth's mouse race, correct? I met someone similar to you not long ago over this network.

Video.

[takesyoubytheheart]

[He 'hmmms' this over a bit, still as puzzled as ever.]

A prison? But I ain't a bad guy! I'm one of the heroes! Who's in charge around here? I'm not doin' the time fer not doin' a crime!

[he'd make more angry rhymes, but fortunately that last part catches him.]

Someone like me? Whaddya mean?

Video.

[warrior_king]

Roughly your build and height, but female. I believe she wore a crown.

As for who is in charge here, that is what I am trying to find out as well.

[Not necessarily for good reasons.]

[Video] Bugs is going to be SO CONFUSED!!!

[hecklinghare]

Well, well. Look what da coral dragged in.

[Bugs is sticking half-way out of his rabbit hole, leaning his elbow on the ground and looking at the SFC with such a smirk.]

Never woulda guessed dey bring you here. How are tings on your side a Burbank?

[Video]

[takesyoubytheheart]

[Hello, oh fellow accented one, you're getting a small look of confusion here.]

I dunno where 'Burbank' is, but mind tellin' me how ta get outta here? I'm startin' ta think there's been a huge mix=up.

Re: [Video]

[hecklinghare]

Uh...out in Califor-ny-ay...but uh I'm gonna tink you ain't ever hoid a that place either.

[Weird...okay. Roll with it, bunny boy.]

Eh, sorry, doc. Ain't no way out of this bubble. C'ept up to da island but der ain't no way off of there. We're stuck in a baaaaad contract.

I don't even think your studio can getcha outta this mess.

[Video]

[takesyoubytheheart]

So we're stuck in a bubble... stuck on an island... stuck in a world I ain't ever heard of.

[Needless to say, this is a pickle. He puts as he thinks.]

Just what's goin' on here? If there's trouble here, I'll help out, but I sure woulda liked bein' asked first!

ACTION BECAUSE WHAT-ELSE WOULD I DO.

[faithqueen]

[Instead of replying by Vid, Minnie's made her way to where Mickey is. She'd rather see him in person than anything, and fuss over him.]

Oh, Riku and Sora are just fine, Your Highness. [Hi, have a smiling queen. Who looks extremely relieved to see you.] Though, I do not think that you can blame Yen Side on this, dear. Vatheon seems to have mind of it;s own when bring people here.

BEST RESPONSE

[takesyoubytheheart]

[slfkdls;dlf where did she even - he almost jumps out of his gloves.]

Minnie!

[he runs full speed at her, ready to bombard her with questions - the biggest ones being WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, WHY ARE YOU NOT SAFE AT HOME, WHYYYYYYY - but, well, royal protocol and all. He manages to screech to a halt in front of her, giving her a quick look over. She seems unharmed... phew, what a relief!]

I... I heard that this was a prison, and magic coral, and... Do ya have any idea what's goin' on?

[His hands are literally shaking, as all he really wants to do is hold her and never let her go, but he is A) wet and B) stupid royal protocol. But give him time, that too will break.]

YUP~! Enjoy the fussing.

[faithqueen]

[Just that ever present smile. Oh Mickey, why are you so cute. Though, she will take one of those shaking hands and give it a squeeze. And then tug! We are going to find you a towel, no protests.

This is Mninnie: Fuss mode. Deal with it, husband.] Oh, I would not say that it is a prison, more a kin to a vaction.

[Forced one but whatever.] Well, I do have some idea, but... you need to get dry first, dear. We wouldn't want you catching a cold now.

[Like I said; Fuss Mode.]

[takesyoubytheheart]

[And with that touch, he is instantly relaxed. His muscles loosen up, his agitated expression becomes one of bliss, and he is even smiling in a droopy content manner. All is right in the world.

... Well, not really, but close enough.]

Aw, I'm fine! It'll take a lot more than this ta slow me down.

[And he gently squeezes her hands in return. There's really no protest, he's following her loyally. But a man needs to have his stupid pride.]

Where are we goin'? Cause this place doesn't seem like a vacation... I'd go fer more of a beach than the whole darn ocean.

[See? Funny. Joke. Don't fuss so much!]

[limitless_land]

[The thing about being assigned to patrols in the central quadrant is that you're almost always nearby when new people arrive. It almost always means that you'll be doubling for "welcome committee."

...Okay, so he miiight have sped up a bit on his usual route when he recognized that light before that familiar voice that once reached out through the darkness to guide him spoke up unknowingly on the network. The voice might have added even more due to confirmation, though. 'He's really here-?'

So his curiosity got him to start a video feed while he headed in the direction of the familiar presence. Have a curious young Keyblade wielder staring at the screen, head tilted slightly as a faint smirk crosses his lips.]

...What about me and Sora, Your Majesty? [Yes, he really did catch onto that part first.]

video;

[takesyoubytheheart]

[Okay, what is this - he was told this place was a prison, so why does everyone who most certainly do not belong in prison wind up here?]

Riku! Yer here too?

[There's a strange mix of happiness at seeing his good friend, and sheer worry, because Riku is supposed to be at Destiny Islands, not Island of Creepiness and Bad Things. Did something happen to him? But it's so good to see him! But - auuugh.]

I'll explain things as soon as I can, but... what's goin' on? Are ya okay? Yen Sid didn't send ya here, right?

video;

[limitless_land]

[If it were possible, there would be a question mark floating around his head.]

Yeah. [He pauses, trying to read the expression on his friend's face. Somehow, it's a lot easier than before--probably because of a lack of cloth around his eyes.]

I haven't seen Yen Sid since before I left to find a way of my own. [A beat.] You're in Vatheon. A nexus that draws people to itself from other worlds and times. ...What all did the others say to you?

[Because he does not have the opportunity to look through the feeds due to who is following him...]

video;

[takesyoubytheheart]

[what was with that cloth anyway - I mean he paces back and forth, trying to connect the pieces in his head.]

I got told about the name a' this place, and that it takes people in... A prison, or a vacation... Somethin' about magic coral... curses, and tattoos that let people give ya stuff fer free... it all sounds like one crazy dream! Like everythin' I knew about world travelin' just went out the window!

[Video]

[flyingdreams]

Oh, another large mouse!

[Video]

[takesyoubytheheart]

[What a pleasant surprise! Though he doesn't notice the size difference at first.]

So you've seen the 'other' large mouse? Mind tellin' me where she is?

[Video]

[flyingdreams]

Oh, I'm sorry, I don't actually know. I only saw her once or twice, I'm afraid.

Ah, but how rude of me. I'm Mrs. Brisby.

[Video]

[takesyoubytheheart]

[He frowns for a moment, but then just as easily brightens up.]

Aw, it's okay, we always manage ta find each other. And it's nice ta meet ya, Mrs. Brisby!

video;

[destinates]

I don't think I've heard of anyone named Yen Sid.

You're in Vatheon now, what we're talking on is a Starfish Communicator, and everyone ends up wet when they first get here. At least, as far as I know.

video;

[takesyoubytheheart]

Thanks for all the answers! From the sound of it, Yen Sid ain't anywhere 'round here... which is kinda good, since I've been accidentally blamin' him fer this.

video;

[destinates]

I think we're all a little confused when we first come here, so I think it's okay. It's not like we were expecting something like this to happen.

[Heck, she thought she was dead when she first got here.]

video;

[takesyoubytheheart]

So who might you be?
