Stuck In The Wrong Place

[dammitmasa]

Same Old People, Wrong Destination

Today you get a message from the Malnosso. They’ve found a way to send you home. You’ll remember Luceti, but it’s a one way trip. You’ve said your tearful goodbyes and prepared yourself for the inevitable return home. One moment you’re in Luceti, the next you’re not.

But nobody ever said the Malnosso ever got everything right. Sure, you’re not in Luceti anymore. Yes, you’ve lost your wings and barcode. But this isn’t your world. It’s some other world and now that you’re cut off from the Malnosso, you have no hope of ever getting back home. Which means that wherever you’ve ended up, you’ll be spending the rest of your life there.

On the up-side, you’re not the only one stuck here. Someone else from Luceti, also alien to this world, is stuck with you. With the common bond of being strangers to this brave new world, it’s inevitable you’ll stick together. But for how long?

Considerations

1. You can go to any other world you want! It just can’t be one either of your characters are from. You can make up something like a fantasy world, something from a sci fi, or something just like the modern world. Or you can pick a canon neither of your characters belong to.
2. Ideally they should both be from different canons altogether. But this isn’t required!
3. There’s supposed to be no way back. Even genius characters ought to find it impossible. But does that mean all hope has to be lost? For those who have been gone from Luceti a long time, it might be fun if they were given a chance to go back to Luceti and be trapped again.
4. For an optional extra level of complexity, give consideration to your character’s appearance or to their abilities. Will they stand out in this new world? Will they have to hide what they can do? Or will they even be able to use their powers if the source of their powers is gone?


Prompts

1. Day One - You’ve both just arrived on this world and by chance, you run into each other. Two heads are better than one. Now you just have to figure out what to do next.

2. One Week Later - You’ve been in this world a week. Things are starting to sink in. So is the idea of being stuck here. It’s time to start thinking about the long term.

3. One Month Later - Now that you’ve both been here awhile, you’ve learned the ins and outs of your new home. You’re making a living and getting by, but you still think of home.

4. Six Months Later - It may not be home, but you’ve learned to be comfortable. By now, your relationship with your fellow Lucetian has certainly evolved as well.

5. One Year Later - It’s been long enough that you sometimes wonder if you ever did live in a place like Luceti. So what’s life for you like in this whole new world?

6. Other - Don’t be limited by the above. This could be two weeks later or twenty years later! Of course, you can always time skip once you’ve established what you want to do at one time period.

[ There's an instant pout, although it's more playful than really upset. There have been two other birthdays, and holidays she'd never heard of until Luceti or this place, and Ikki's learned that Masaomi is prone to teasing, especially when it comes to presents that she wants to open or see. It's almost requisite. ]

Masaomi! [ HONESTLY. ] I'm ten! It's my birthday! That's why there's all these people and all of those streamers and that cake.

That's true! There was also that rather impressive show you made against the leader! [we should decide who that was whoops He rocks on his feet, keeping an airy expression on his face. Years ago, it would have looked more childish than it does, on a 22 year old it almost looks silly. Okay no, it looks completely silly and Linda rolls her eyes from his heels at it] I have to say, I think Rinchen stole the show this time, no offense to Soren meant.

Soren'll get a chance later! Everyone worked really well together, but you're right, Rinchen did super well against the types he was up against! [ Blue? Ikki catches the eye roll and giggles, but doesn't point it out to Masaomi. He's probably aware. He's eye roll worthy a lot of the time.

Soren supposes Rinchen did really well, especially since no offense was meant, but dude. ] ...And you're changing the subject!

Whaaaat, can't a man be proud of his "little sister's" first achievement?! Would if I only had a camera, right? I think I saw a reporter or two in the crowd, but no one we knew. [And he crouches down to her level, grinning. Blue (even though he looked a little like Green, that's so weird) wasn't an easy match by the looks of it, but she finished it like a pro]

If there was a reporter, you can check the local paper tomorrow. [ That's what she'd done on occasion, for his matches. The people here are really into gym battles and everything pokemon related; Ikki's got a collection of articles that interested her or mentioned either of them or their friends from this world stashed away. ] And thank you!

[ It hadn't been easy, no, but she'd had more on-the-job training (so to speak) than most children her age in this world. And she'd seen Masaomi in countless gym battles, always taking note of what worked and didn't because he'd point it out to her and go over it with her after.

Pokemon trainer school had nothing on him. ] I think once it's less crowded I'll let everyone out for cake, 'cause they earned it.

...We're going to need a bigger cake then, considering Chodak. [He's still changing the topic, but crouched as he is now, he actually is serious about that, looking around at all the refreshments and cake and etc out now. Tenten over there is busy silently pushing some hummus on a rockstar (well, wannabe) he made back in Johto. Knowing how into red meat that guy is, he can't help but be amused, though he's only viewing it out of the corner of his eye, his attention still on Ikki]
