The Satellite had certainly turned strange this week. Now, any characters wearing their now outfits were liable to suddenly find themselves in strange pocket dimensions...ones full with the most random of encounters!

Comments

Sora, Minako and Hope

[optimistickey]

Sora was still a bit confused about the purpose of this sudden armor and sword...it wasn't like anyone had spotted any dragons or the like on the Satellite yet. Still, it wasn't like he could wear his usual clothes right now, or like he didn't know how to handle a weapon. So, he may as well use the armor for now. Although he was used to having a lot more freedom with his clothes.

Sora began to wander down to the recreation deck, ready for anything that might spring out his way.

[lastresort]

The Satellite had saddled Hope with white and red robes (with cat ears sewn into the hood) and a rod adorned with a Moogle. He wasn't sure what to make of them, other than to be rather put out by the adorableness of them.

[verygassy]

And, well, something does spring Sora's way. And Hope's.

"HEY GUYS!!"

Suddenly Minako pops out of the ceiling, wearing the white armor of a paladin, though her belt is a loose jewel chain for some reason. And, of course, a freaking giant sword that looks like it weighs too much for her to hold is strapped to her back.

"We're all dressed up like cosplayers!" At this, Minako clapped her hands. "So that must mean...we're live-roleplaying!! Eeeeee, so fun! I wonder what our quest will be~!"

Maes, Kotetsu, and Xion

[polaroid_papa]

Maes was curious about his new get-up. Nothing else really seemed to have changed aside from his appearance and new found ability to play the banjo. He was currently strolling around, plucking away a tune, and looking for someone to mess with.

After all, things were pretty dull for now.

[eyeofwildtiger]

Kotetsu had no complaints about his new getup. It reminded him quite a bit of his hero suit. The fins, or whatever they were, on the helmet were a bit annoying and he was thankful that Barnaby wasn't aboard to see them.

The weapon was new, though. He'd tried swinging the lance around in a couple different places and he'd already broken a chair or two. He paused at the sound of the banjo and looked up.

"Well, that looks lethal."

[skysmirror]

Xion's clothes had changed quite a bit, and though she'd gotten used to wearing so much white relatively easily, the armor was something else. It had taken her several tries just to put in on right. At least her weapon was similar enough to what she was used to. It hadn't taken long to adjust to the new sword's balance and weight.

She smiled when she saw Hughes and Kotetsu. "Actually, I knew someone who could control water by playing a sitar."

Demyx could actually be a dangerous opponent when he put his mind to it. Which wasn't very often, but the risk was there.

Roxas, Ventus, Aqua and Iron Liz

[thirteenth_brat]

If there possibly were things hanging around to fight, Roxas really did want to find a better weapon. The staff he'd found along with the robe really was a stick, though he had to admit it had good heft to it and given time, he probably could gain some skill with it. The problem was that he might not have a whole lot of time for such practice. It was with this in mind that he wanted to head to the weapons deck and look for something else.

He'd also experimented with magic a bit and come to realize he was limited to healing and defensive spells. While Cure and Esuna were familiar enough, he only knew of Protect and Shell from having heard of them. At least he knew what they did and so sort of knew what situations he should use them in.

[salvagedlight]

Ven, rounding the corner, had to pull himself up short from smashing face-first into Roxas - which was a good idea because a full set of armor compared to a cloth robe was kind of unfair. Not to mention the armor had lots of curly spikes. All in all not too good to be running into people in. But with a quickstep he managed to avoid it by basically jumping to the left.

"Sorry! It's kind of hard to hear other people over the noise this stuff makes." Indeed, even someone who had armor of his own (normally) and was used to wearing it could still have problems with his hearing when it was all clanking together. Not to mention the scarf and the long trailing cape - who did, that, really? It was completely impractical.

At least the sword was pretty nice, and it felt good to have a real weapon in his hand again, even if he did insist on using it backwards. "Where're you off to?"

[thirteenth_brat]

No, getting bowled over by someone in full armor wouldn't have been fun. Not that Roxas is fragile or anything, but it would still have hurt a bit.

As to Ven's question, Roxas looked at the stick wrapped in a vine staff he was carrying before replying, is a mildly pouty tone, "Going to the weapons deck."

Isa, Namine, Robin, and Wally

[thewallman]

Slow.

That was the main thing on Wally's mind as he trudged grumpily down the hall in his only clothing option - armor. True, it wasn't as heavy as it could be, but it certainly wasn't light enough to let him go at top speed. But he had to admit, it didn't look half bad. The red and gold suited him, but it was all sharp angles and unnecessary embellishments, like the cape... thing that flowed behind him. He had a helmet, too, shaped like the head of a dragon, with glimmering gold eyes and frills - fins? - sweeping back on either side of his head.

And then there was the spear - or more accurately, Wally decided, a glaive. A red and gold, double-bladed glaive, nearly as tall as he was... that he had no idea how to use.

Wally had actually left it behind when he's left his room the first time. The armor was bad enough, but a glaive? How would he even use something like that on the Satellite? What would he even have to use it against? There was a reason he didn't have these things as Kid Flash. He wasn't exactly a weapons master; that was for Rob and the Bat. Wally... When you got right down to it, he and Uncle Barry just ran fast. Really fast.

He'd only left his room for about a minute when he discovered the answers to his questions, immediately ran from them, and went back to get the thing.

So now he was left aimlessly wandering the halls on his own, holding the glaive loosely in one hand. Those... monsters were out to hurt people, something the Satellite had never done before, in Wally's experience... mostly. It disoriented them, but for the most part, the place was safe, until now. They had to contain the monsters as soon as possible, and while he hadn't encountered them since he'd grabbed his weapon, there had to be more out there.

Maybe he was scaring them away with the stupid armor clanking with every step he took. He may never have been a ninja like the Boy Wonder, but he appreciated stealth now and then, and now would definitely have been one of those times. He sighed and walked on.

[gettraught]

Even the Boy Wonder was having trouble with this lot. It wasn't that Batman didn't believe in armor, specifically - it was that he believed in modern, high tech, kevlar-and-industrial-plastic type armor, and Robin's gear was even more flexible than his father's was. But he'd found his jeans, hoodies, and Robin costume completely gone that morning, and in its place was just a set of dark, pointy armor that fit him suspiciously well. He couldn't find his sunglasses either; at least the helmet concealed his face. And that was the only reason he was wearing it, as it felt too tight and constricting despite being the perfect size for his head.

Did someone manage to sneak into his room at night without him noticing and take his measurements for an SCA reenactment thing?

He was also carrying a red lance that seemed... kind of possessed. Like it wouldn't mind drinking the souls of its enemies, maybe. All right yeah it was stupid to think of a weapon that way, weapons were equipment and nothing more, but it felt like that. His eskrima sticks and various Bat-gadgets had also disappeared, so he'd taken the lance with him when he left his room. Whatever was going on, he had a feeling he'd need it.

"Wally? Come on, where are you?" Forget stealth, there was no way he could do that in armor.

[colorbymemory]

Namine wasn't used to any kind of armor at all, so it was just as well that her clothing was a little simpler. Though there was a little more of it than she was used to--only her face was visible, and that only if you looked closely under the hood. It was actually kind of nice, not feeling so exposed.

Especially this week, when apparently there were monsters wandering the satellite. Thanks to Roxas and Aqua offering, she'd learned a little magic so the staff she carried wasn't totally useless. That said, she was still vulnerable to most attacks and that made even just trying to go to the cafeteria more of an adventure than she would have liked. So she found herself moving very quietly, trying to get the attention of the others without alerting any monsters.

Sasami, Twilight, and anyone else who wants in

[sailormagic]

Twilight didn't mind her outfit at all, considering it was a near-replica of her last Nightmare Night costume, save for the beard and the bells. Accurate as the bells were, they did tend to jingle a lot, so she wasn't too disappointed when they proved to be gone this time. Still, she knew Rarity hadn't made the costume for her and ponies tended not to wear many clothes, so to find this set literally draped over the door to the media deck was a bit disconcerting. She'd tugged it on herself and gone out to find out what was happening.

[saint_sami]

At that point, Twilight would find a familiar face passing by herself. Though her robes were odd and a little awkward, Sasami had found some measure of enjoyment with this.

"Twilight!" she called out, noticing the pony. "Is that what you got? It looks nice!"

[milliondollarpipes]

"'Least someone's enjoyin' this." Harvey passed by, grumbling as he went. He'd left off a few of the sillier parts of his outfit, like the cloak, but he still felt ridiculous. "Seriously, would it kill this place to let us dress like normal people for a week or two?"

He strummed a chord on his...lute, or whatever the hell it was, frowning at the sound. "Didn't even bother tunin' the instruments first." Now how the hell did he do that...he started fiddling with the knobs experimentally.

Team Dear God Why (Rarity, Epsilon, and Squall)

[sailorgenerous]

Rarity couldn't say she was too happy with her hooded white robe; it was rather simple, and white with red accents was not a color scheme she ever would have chosen for herself. For now, she was on her way to the theatrical deck to find something to spruce it up, give it a bit of flair. For now, she wore it in her trip down the hall - if she was going to bring it with her, she might as well get a feel for how it moved.

The staff that came with the outfit came with her too. It was entirely too nice to leave in her room.

Best team ever

[fearmylaserface]

Hey, Epsilon wasn't exactly any happier with his silly black mage hat. It was ridiculous.

Then he saw the pony in the robe. "At least I'm not the only one looking ridiculous."

[fatedcircle]

Squall, at least, was relatively alright with his armor. True, it was heavy and not nearly as comfortable as anything he would have preferred to wear, but there was something that felt almost... right about it all the same. Honestly, the strangest part of it was the sword he'd been given. It wasn't that he couldn't use them, really. More that he couldn't help but reflexive check for bullets that weren't there.

"Most people are."

Link and anyone else yet lacking a party

[shortpants_knight]

Being presented with new armor and a new sword was a little odd. To be honest, though, Link couldn't really complain about the sword. It wasn't the Goddess Sword, but it was definitely better than the one he'd taken from the weapons deck. The armor left a little to be desired. Then again, he was more accustomed to using a shield than to wearing heavy armor.

His only reason for heading out at the moment was just to head over to the cafeteria and see about lunch. He'd taken the sword with him on the off chance that there was a valid reason for its appearance.

[crafty_punk]

"This feels too damn familiar," Kanji muttered to himself. It reminded him of the places inside the TV world. He got the sense that there was something around.

He hadn't been equipped with a weapon, but he could always improvise. He also knew there was strength in numbers, and Link was the first person he spotted.

"Yo," he called.

Laaaate

[shortpants_knight]

Link wasn't quite sure what to make of the situation either. At least, there didn't seem to be much going on at the moment.

"Hello," he replies as Kanji approaches him. Come to think of it, he wasn't sure he'd actually spoken to Kanji yet. Had he really only seen hin in Cambot posts?

Team Aminal (Big Macintosh, Amaterasu, possibly Perry and Pinkie?)

[sailoryup]

Big Macintosh was uncertain what precisely he was supposed to do. The armor was heavy and hard to move in, and it itched like crazy. And what was he supposed to do with this sword? Swing it around in his teeth?

He had a bad feeling about what it all this was about, too. He didn't want to fight something again, especially with the wound on his flank just a little ways away from being completely healed.

He peered out of his room anxiously, slowly taking a step forward. Maybe he could find somepony to explain what's going on to him.

[yabigfurball]

Amaterasu was also still getting used to this armor...she was never used to wearing something this heavy; it seemed almost detrimental to fighting. At least it was nicely made, though. Her sword was currently sheathed over her back, although she wasn't sure how she'd use it without her normal powers. True, she used glaives often enough, but like her reflectors and rosaries, those didn't usually depend on something like holding it in her teeth.

While wandering the halls for someone who could explain it all, she came across Big Mac. He looked like he was a little confused about the armor, too. She offered him an encouraging smile...whatever it was, she felt he could handle it.

Team Danville (aka Phineas and Perry)

[howserendipitous]

Phineas had played a few RPGs in his time- which usually was interrupted by inventions or ideas on how to improve said game. Not that he didn't like them, that was just kind of what he and Ferb did.

So really, who was he to turn down a kind of opportunity like this? He was wandering around the halls of the SoL, grinning all the while. "This is so cool, huh Perry?"

[ttlynotanagent]

Perry had seen Phineas and Ferb play enough RPGs to get the gist of what was going on. True he was usually called away for a mission at some point in the game (usually before Phineas and Ferb started messing or modifying it) but he still knew the basics of how these things worked.

Besides, an adventure with Phineas? Why would he turn that opportunity down? He had to enjoy these moments while he could since he still didn't know how OWCA was going to take all of this. But, that was future Perry's problem.

He offers a small smile and nods. He wonders what they'll encounter out here.
