A strange town surrounded by four gigantic white marble walls, and covered by a cloudy, rose-tinted sky. The landscape and buildings are well-cared for, and food and supplies are plentiful. But the only inhabitants are people of a variety of other worlds. It seems everyone residing in Elysian City simply appeared there at random.

No one knows how they ended up here, but everyone knows there is no way to leave. The gates refuse to open to even the strongest muscle or magic, and the walls do not seem to end. What could be going on in this city? It seems that only time will tell.

Welcome to Elysian City...enjoy your stay.

Ao no ho'i! What a terrible thing!
« Thread Started on Mar 24, 2009, 11:00am »

"Sleep" was a concept Kaimana did not have much of a grasp of. Being a Gargoyle, most of her experiences didn't involve it. Rest, for her, was turning to stone at dawn and breaking free at dusk. But here, there was no dawn or dusk. Just an endless in-between period that kept her out of the stone sleep and caused her to learn very quickly exactly what "sleep" meant.

She frowned, her tail curling at her ankles. Still no sign of her sister Nani... of her beloved mate Keilani, or even of her son Maka Koa. Fin-like wings pressed down tightly against her back, wringing clawed hands together as she shifted her feet against the ground, looking out over the lake she'd chosen to rest beside. Sighing, finally, she dove in. Stuck here she may be, but that didn't mean she had to starve.

The water was crisp and cool, after all, and the conditions were perfect for some decent sized fish for eating. If anyone happened to watch from the shore, they may catch a glimpse of the sleek gargoyle femme occasionally breaking water like a dolphin might before diving back in. She was more used to the water than the air, and this was a perfect way to relieve tension. The last thing she needed was something else to fuss over!

((Haha, okay, I'll drop him in here! ....Poor, poor Kaimana...))

"...I think I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque."

Not too far from where Kaimana was swimming, a rather curious looking figure stood, one hand on his hip, a rather thoughtful pose. Now, that might not have been what one would consider 'strange,' but the fact that he was clad entirely in black and red spandex, a mask, and about thirty different types of weaponry, grenades, and other explosives might make one wonder.

Why not be scared of him, then?

Well, he was also eating an ice cream cone. The man had his mask rolled up far enough to reveal his mouth, which was idly attacking cold, chocolatey goodness. At close glance, one might wince and back away - even from the small amount of skin that was shown, anyone could tell that something was wrong. His skin was rough, pocked, and looked painful. He didn't seem to mind, though, and was completely focused on that ice cream cone, and why it kept trying to melt down the sides and around his gloved fingers.

"You know, I think this ice cream's against you," He said. "No way, we LOVE each other!" he slurped, rubbing the ice cream cone on his cheek. He reached out with his tongue and licked off the sticky mess from the side of his face before continuing. "You know, ice cream aside, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, and I don't see any toto either." Stupid dog. With its little face... And being captured... And yapping. It was really a rude little thing, wasn't it? "Revealing men behind curtains... Nasty little SNEAKSY doggie, that one."

Finally, he seemed to notice that whatever was in the lake might not have been a big fish, as he'd previously thought. "Nessie? NESSIE?!" He shouted, waving both arms and nearly losing his ice cream cone. "Come home to me, Nessie, you and your lovely tons of blubber and mystery!" He was grinning, chocolate on his chin, words sounding, for the most part, like he knew exactly what he was talking about. "Nessie, come to Wade, and I can show you looooooO~ooooove!"

That was the strange thing about Wade Wilson, or Deadpool, as he often referred to himself. He KNEW he was crazy. And he also had a feeling that he wasn't where he should have been. "Hm. Maybe the teleporter busted again. I SWEAR if I end up pretending to be that pansy Peter Parker again, I'mma show Weasel some what-to about making bad tech."

((Bwahaha. THERE. Let the insanity ensue.))

As it was, Kaimana had managed to snare several decently sized fish and was quite pleased with her results when the shouting from the shore caught her attention. Slicking back her hair with clawed fingers, she watched the weird looking man waving about on the shoreline as if someone had just bashed him upside the head with a rock. Having witnessed this sort of event, she was quite aware of what this looked like. What was he yelling? Something about Nessie? Wasn't Nessie in Scotland or somewhere like that? At least that's what Mamo, the son of the mayor of the small human village her clan lived alongside, told the clan when he talked about his travels.

So what was he yelling about? Curiously, she glanced back. No, nothing else but her and the fish in the water, so her conclusion was that this crazy haole must've been talking about... her! She made a face, her wings flipping irritably, causing a faint spray of water. "Hey!" she called over, an audible accent to her voice. "You there! Pupule! What in the world are you on about?!"

She wasn't expecting an answer, but she also wasn't ready to get out of the water yet. The mauna clan knew and trusted humans, sure, but this wasn't one she knew well, and she wasn't about to leave her comfort zone for a human she'd never met. Part of her wished Maka Koa was here. He was so personable, and always ready to meet a new face. It was he who had befriended Goliath and his friends when they had become stranded on Moloka'i, after all...

Finally! What was it, did Nessie not have ears? Well, based on the pictures, probably not, but Wade was pretty sure that she had to have ears. Probably much like lizards or crocodiles... Just a little hole there. He vaguely wondered if she could plug those holes up when she dove underwater. "That'd be a nasty case of swimmer's ear..." You've got that right, 'Pool.

Heh, 'Pool. Like a pool. Swimmer's ear.

Ohhhhh, you. You crack myself up.

I know. <3

Ya know, someone's talkin' to ya.

Yeah, it's some fish... Lady. "Totally not hot enough to be Nessie."

"Someone's talking to me?" Looking up from his internal conversations, Wade realized that he was indeed being spoken to. From halfway across the lake. What the hell?

"What are YOU on about, Not-Nessie? Here I thought I'd be nice, have a little chat, wonder where the hell I am and if I'm about to have a house dropped on me... Good thing I don't have any ruby slippers. Left those back home..."

"Focus now. Oh, and you're about to lose your ice cream."

"Thanks."

Oh yeah, Nessie. "Well then, sweetheart, what's your name? 'Cause you're not Nessie. You're still pretty hot though. LOVE the wings." A hip thrust followed these words, and he quickly finished his ice cream and tugged his mask back into place. "So, know any of the natives 'round here?"

He would have gone into the water... But even with how crazy the man obviously was, he knew that wet guns equalled wet bullets which meant wet gunpowder, and most importantly, that meant no big booms or badabadabadabada. And oh how he loved that sound effect. "It's one of my favorites, ya know. WAY better than the sound those stupid laser guns made..."

((haha he r suuuu crazeh.))

...wait. Was this guy talking to himself? What in the... this guy was absolutely nuts! He did remind her of someone she'd met once, though... however surreal. But hadn't he returned to Odin's gathering with the other children of Avalon? "Kapua?" she questioned, swimming a little bit closer, swishing her tail back and forth. "Is that...?"

No. No, the Trickster god would have recognized her. It was she who so viciously defended the rookery within the caves of the ancient volcano on Moloka'i. He wouldn't have asked for her name, even from that distance. So she shook her head to dismiss the theory, and went with a different angle. This guy at least seemed to be as lost as she was.

"Well, if you're looking for where you are, kokohe, I have no help for you. I'm as lost as anyone else in this crazy city." She flicked her wings again, twisting them to rest atop the water like flotation devices, reducing her need to move while staying partially submerged. "My name's Kaimana. Who are you?"

((Waaaaa, finally!))

For someone as powerful as Bedlam, the most recent events had not exactly been a setback, but more an annoyance. Events unfolding outside of his plans lead to a growing frustration. It finally occurred to the boy that having sent Colonel Sparky after one of the Keys, particularly one he knew- might have been a poor choice. Oh, it had bee a fun fight to watch for a little while, particularly after he gave the man just the slightest push over the edge. But ultimately Mustang had managed to break free of the chaotic force that was Bedlam's magic.

Strike one.

To use him again now wouldn't be any fun. There was no more novelty to it- and Mustang certainly wasn't going to trust him a second time. At least Sparky was still useful in a different way though. He could guard the Key Edward had until it came time to collect it. Bedlam could almost call it a plus that the other boy had been so injured. He wouldn't be moving around for quite a while, which meant Bedlam wouldn't have to waste any extra time or energy keeping track of where he was.

Eh, we'll call that a single down the line.

It was a plus, but still the youngster had developed a foul mood. It wasn't exactly what he wanted...his plans were never supposed to go wrong. Anyway...focus. He needed to find more minions...ones that would respark his interest in this little game...He didn't trust the ones that were already here, particularly Taka...(he would have a word or two with her later...)

At least this place had been pretty well populated with good pickings for such a thing. Any goodie-goodie here would do anything to save their own tails, right? Floating a few feet above the heads of the pair by the lake, Bedlam watched with mild amusement. He vaguely recognized one of them. Though not one of the superheroes from the world he was from, the boy knew who Deadpool was. He was on the opposite side of the spectrum from the teenage superheroes that had managed to beat him before...Not to mention just from the few minutes of him watching, Bedlam could tell the guy was nuts. Awesome. The gargoyle-lady seemed pretty formidable, too.

They would make for a couple decent new players for his game. Bedlam playfully tossed a little baseball made of violet-colored energy between the pair, where it rolled somewhere between the edge of the lake and where Deadpool stood. "You guys're lookin' for locals?" He finally spoke, landing lightly on the ground a short distance away. "Maybe I can help..."

Batter up.

((Laaawl maybe the baseball stuff doesn't really do much...but Bedlam likes baseball! *flail* I spent like, hours on this, and it's not much...but at least a conversation starter? XD))

"No one has help for me, my fishy friend," Deadpool said, sounding rather deflated. "Oh, many have tried. Many more have failed. What? What do you mean they haven't tried? I'm NOT a lost cause. I'm just a little difficult." He gave a great big sniff and wiped at his nose, despite it being under his mask. "All I want is for someone to LOOOOO~OOOOVE ME!"

Yes, it was time for song. "I can't fight this feeeeeling anymoooooore!" Oh, you're an AWFUL singer. Isn't he? Pretty much. "No I'm not. My voice is just unique." Yeah right.

And then a giant grape -- No, no, that's not fruit. A ball... A purple baseball? "Gay." Still, Deadpool trotted over and picked it up, turning it in his gloved hand. He then tossed it into the air with a bit of a spin, letting the thing land on his finger much like one would spin a basketball.

He spun around when Bedlam spoke up, raising an eyebrow at the boy, letting the ball drop into his palm and stop spinning. "Yeah, we're lookin' for locals. Seen any around? I found Not-Nessie here, and she's callin' me something like Aloha --"

"Melekalikimaka?"

"No, no... Lolo? Haaaaw."

Deadpool paused for a brief moment and then eyed Bedlam with a wary sort of gaze. "Yer not here to play gayball." He reared back and hooked that ball right at Bedlam, and he threw it HARD. "And you don't look like a local to me. The locals are taller." And probably less... glowy. "Unless you know a guy? I like people who know a guy. 'Cause usually that guy's worth gettin' ta know, if ya know what I mean." He grinned behind the mask and rubbed his thumb and fingers together in that universal sign of, "Dough, bread and butter, bringin' home some bacon, I'm hungry."

Heeeey batter batter batter... And

SUH-WIIIIIIIIIIIING!

((Wheeeee! Finally!

I thinks I just must have to be in a Bedlam-y kinda mood to post for him. X3))

From the short distance away the young boy floated a foot or so off the ground, watching the odd pair converse (if that's what you could call it). However when Deadpool broke into random song Bedlam's brows rose in disgust. Just for that he had to make sure to eliminate the 1980s...Yeah...that was not okay. Anyway, back to the game...he'd take care of the 80's later.

"You ain't gonna find any real locals..." the blond said in a mysterious tone. "There aren't any." A malicious little grin settled on his face when Deadpool turned around. "Everybody here was brought here." While Bedlam hadn't been the one responsible for all of the arrivals, his tone was intended to sound like just maybe he was.

The boy didn't even flinch when Deadpool threw his baseball back at him. He caught it, bare handed, inches in front of his nose. "Do I know a guy...?" His grin only grew wider as he tossed the ball in his hand. "Ha, I'm the guy. You wanna get out of here..." He briefly eyed the gargoyle, then shifted his gaze back to Deadpool. "Or if ya want anything else, you gotta work with me." His tone was confident. He felt this discussion would move much more quickly than the last one he'd had. Of course, this Deadpool guy was more unpredictable...

But that kinda chaos was a total bonus.

"Whatta you guys say?" He tossed the ball high into the air, where it disappeared. His eyes lit up mischievously. "Wanna play?"

((Bleh. So short! I have NO idea why this took me so long to write! T_T))

((OKAY MY TURN!))

"Brought here? I hope they came with desserts. I've brought the barbecue and I don't want to have chips without CAKE. You feel me? Yeah, I thought so. Kids like cake. Especially the fat ones. You assigned foods, right? A list? You'd better have had a list." Deadpool wanted cake. He also wanted money. Money was beautiful and green and much more fun to swim in a pool full of cash than water any day. Or maybe a lake full of money, right? "Yeaaaah. That'd be hella tight."

Deadpool was pulled from his conversational thoughts by Bedlam announcing that he was THE guy. "I've met a lot of GUYS," he said, paused, and put a finger to his chin. "That sounded a little gay, didn't it?"

"Yeah, a little. Probably should re-word that. What would Bea Arthur think?!"

"That she's the hottest thing on two legs?"

"She IS, isn't she?"

"You bet your sweet ass she is."

"I like her ass better."

"You're talking to yourself again."

"Oh." Deadpool turned to Bedlam again and seemingly unaware of his rather insane charade, he held a hand out, ready for Bedlam to shake. "I can work with ya, for ya... just not under you, if you know what I mean. You throw some green at me, I'll maim, slice, dice, stab, shoot, blow up, murder, torture, drown, strangle, break, hurt, scare, and otherwise kill or steal or destroy anything you want me to. I'm your man." He gave Bedlam a two-handed thumbs-up and then pointed said thumbs at himself. "Who's willin' to do anything for a little dough? THIS GUY."
