Chris Traeger | Parks & Rec

[quiteliterally]

[Chris is jogging by you in compression shorts and a compression top. It's about 90 degrees and it looks like he's been running quite a while. But he's not sweating, at all.

Then he calls out to you, calmly, like the beautiful gazelle person he is, and like he's standing completely still.] Good morning doesn't sufficiently cover how beautiful it is today. Fantastic morning to you. Splendid morning! Whimsical morning.

And a perfect morning to you, too.

[viced]

[ He doesn't like exercising. Actually, the guy is almost exuding so much enthusiasm it's making Mitchell sick, but he's goddamn well trying to force a smile at the ray of sunshine still jogging down the street. ]

I don't know how people like you can do that. [ He points, indicating the whole parcel. Cheery. Morning. Running. Eugh. ]

David Wong | John Dies at the End

[bratwurstcalling]

[You're walking to the local Walmart. Grocery store. CVS. Whatever. It doesn't matter. The point is you're headed there because you need to run some errands and you've just passed a cart corral when you notice something. Someone.

David Wong, ladies and gentlemen. He's cowering behind a row of carts, sweating profusely and grunting awkwardly to himself. Somewhere in there, he lets out a nervous fart. When he notices you looking at him, his eyes go wide and he lunges forward, arms up defensively.]

Don't. Move. It'll see you---

[clammedup]

[Well this is unexpected. Harry was on his way to pick up some milk and suddenly there's this sweaty man lunging towards him saying 'don't move.' Poor Harry was simply bewildered.]

Ah, what exactly will see me?

Maximus Decimus Meridius || Gladiator

[gluteus]

[Hi CNC have a very confused roman gladiator in full armour wandering around the city with no idea how to use the bizarre piece of something in his hand.]

in media res because fight me

[waiting]

This, buddy, is a hot dog.

[ Who knows how they even ended up here, standing beside a hotdog cart, while Bradbury holds it out to Maximus reverently like he's offering him manna from heaven. ]

And you can't say you've really experienced the City until you've had one of these.

Elizabeth | Bioshock: Infinite

[recurring]

[Yeah, she's wandering around the park. Someone doesn't look like she fits in this era.]

[shipper]

[and someone else doesn't look like she fits in this planet. they match! sort of. either way Nepeta is seated on a bench as Elizabeth passes by, pulling the last twig out of her hair because even she has some standards of presentation. when she sees Elizabeth her eyes light up and she smiles widely, calling out:]

Ooh, your dress is so purretty! I've nefur seen one like that here.

Adrian Monk | Monk

[cursedwithagift]

[he never actually made it out of the Porter building. he's too busy rearranging the welcome pamphlets and throwing out the ones with bent corners]

[buoyancies]

[ dear god please app him

have a bouncy japanese girl in some sports outfit kind of eyeing him, munching on a donut. then: ]

Uh, hi! Do you need some help?

Ursula Zandt / Silhouette | Minutemen

[contours]

[ It is certainly a new and interesting situation. That is all the judgment she cares to pass quite yet. She double checks that her bootlaces are tied and her hat is tucked under her arm where it is harder to see and sets out for the apartment she has been told to go to.

It is very likely it is a trap, but she is good at traps. And it is the only thing she has to go on. ]

[retropolis]

[ It just so happens Nelson -- in costume, of course -- is passing by the Porter building around this time, on his way back home a patrol, or a case, something. He almost doesn't notice her at first, either, but when he does double-take he still thinks he's seeing a ghost.

He really should be used to this, but he isn't. He just stands there and stares. ]

riful of the west » claymore

[fillets]

[ yeah okay so there's what appears to be a preteen girl walking through Central Park barefoot. eventually she comes to a stop at the banks of that one lake that dick Illidan turned into the Well of Eternity a while ago and just... stands there, hands clasped behind her back, with a studious expression on her face that suggests this is quite possibly the most fascinating thing ever to happen, anywhere, ever. ]

Really... this is all too interesting.

[cryingontheinside]

It's not really all it's cracked up to be. [He teases!! No really he doesn't give a fuq about this place.]

April Orenski | Forward Unto Dawn (Halo)

[axia]

[ She's stuck on Earth, which wouldn't be so bad - she's never actually been to Earth, not yet, grew up on colonies and jumping from ship to ship and place to place as her parents transferred - except that it's 2013. It's 2013, they haven't even been to space yet, she's traveled in time and everything's old and slow and she has traveled in time, what the hell is this?

Get it together, Orenski. She takes a couple deep breaths in and out and sends a message out to the network while sitting in front of the Porter building. Just in case something's a trick. ]

This is Senior Cadet Orenski of Hastati Squad, requesting information from any UNSC staff present and available.

Also requesting verification on timestamp provided. Is 2013 accurate?

John Constantine | Vertigo/technically DC/whatever

[smokingmirrors]

[ Whatever the City's anti-smoking laws are, he's very likely to be ignoring them. ]

[ankhs]

[ and she's sitting next to him, knees pulled to her chest and watching him contently. she'll wait for him to acknowledge her before she says something.

big smile tho ]

Q | Star Trek: TNG

[dejaq]

[You wanted to get out of the MAC? That's cute, really, try again. Cause some douchebag from the Q Continuum is blocking the doorway, ranting to just about anyone about this place turned him human, do you know how insulting that is, he's Q for crying out loud, not some lowly human, just what does this Porter think she's doing, and so on and so on.

Obviously while he's grasped the human concepts of 'breathing' and 'comfort food', he hasn't grasped the concept of 'not being in the way' or 'common courtesy' (and probably never will.)]

[aggressiveapathy]

[Who needs demi-god status when you have a raccoon army? April doesn't often go to the MAC, but when she goes she wants to get out of it as fast as humanly possible. Which is more than enough justification for her to have two raccoons start hissing at the man-thing in between April and freedom.]

Oh my god. Pool boy. Move.

meenah peixes | that one fucking webcomic

[tyrians]

[ there's a dark skinned girl with long blonde braids just kind of standing around in front of the porter building. she looks pretty normal albeit her ripped up clothes that are definitely ~*fashionable*~ to her (including those pink kicks), that pisces symbol on her chest in the same colour, and uh. the shark teeth in her mouth????

anyways she has a bag of something shiny and is rummaging through it and yes that is a gold trident in her hand. ]

[hexappeal]

[Zatanna doesn't seem to think the girl is threatening (despite the teeth), even bending her knees just slightly so they're closer to standing on the same level. Not much, though.]

Do you need some help with something?

Tigger | oh come on

[tidoubleguher]

[You're walking down the street. Or sitting and reading at a park. Or maybe you're browsing through groceries at a Kroger. You know what, it doesn't matter where you are because out of the corner of your ear, you hear a small growling sound.]

Rrrrrawrrr...

[Now what could that be? Surely it must be the wind or something. It possibly couldn't be a wild animal at the street/park/Kroger. Oh, but it is. It's the most fearsome wild animal of all (at least, he thinks he's the most fearsome wild animal of all.) A few moments pass after you hear the growl.

...

...

...

And then suddenly OUT OF NOWHERE, you've got a foot of hyperactive stuffed tiger barreling at you with enough force to knock you to the floor. You've been bounced, bounced by a Tigger who looks very proud of himself at the bouncing.]

Hullo!

SHRIEKS

[neptunia]

[ and guess who got rightly bounced. somehow?? she's laying on the ground now, blonde hair around her and staring up at him. she blinks for a second, gill slits exhaling and then: ]

Tigger?

harvey bullock | earth-1

[bullockhead]

[ What the fuck am I doing...

This fellow in a trenchcoat might look very put-together, but also a bit lost -- he blinks around like an excited and perplexed child and uses a building's reflection to fix up his hair. He hums New York, New York a little idly and finally looks at his communicator with some confusion.

Hmm.

Back to primping in the reflection because he has no idea what to make of this. ]

ana kravinoff | marvel 616

[kravenapproval]

[ There's a young girl in furs and leather sitting atop a taxi cab, squinting around and snarling. She's holding her dog tags in one moment and the next moment throwing them into traffic, and then turns her attention to the communicator. She seems to be trying to pry it open with a knife, ignoring the cab driver's requests that she get off his roof. ]

[profanities]

[ and there's a ten year old girl watching her, licking an ice cream cone with her hair in pigtails. she's wearing clothes in pink and her expression is incredulous and i don't have fucking icons of her outside of costume so just dwi ok cries a lot.

anyways, she watches this weird ass scene for a moment before ]

What are you doing?

chronos | jlu

[chronosyoudidnt]

[ OKAY FINE.

When he stands in front of the Porter tower he's very hunched, looking frightened; he's got his costume on but it's in not-too-great condition and he has stubble along his face. His eyes are enormous. ]

Look! Look, everyone, it worked! Here I am!

[ He holds out his arms proudly, a little delirious. ]

Oh, what a simply marvelous day. A marvelous new day. Someone tell me, please, where is Big Ben these days? What's the date? I have to know.

[liverletdie]

[ Oh.


It's him. The time guy. ]

Oh look, it's you. Don't you have a way to tell what day it is?

[ Bitter? Of course not. ]

Will Graham | some show about an infamous literary cannibal

[herpestidae]

[Don't you want to go poke the guy shaking in the middle of the sidewalk like he might be about to have a nervous breakdown? You know you do. Will takes out a bottle of pills and taps a few out, swallowing them dry.

Nothing like this had happened before.]

[ropedin]

[ For some reason (mostly unbeknownst to anyone, he actually backs into the vicinity of the guy, probably taking a few steps back from something that disgusted him.

His cape curls away, and he turns to look at the pill-popping newcomer. He can't tell if those are prescription, or not. Which means it's likely that they're not. At least in HJ's eyes. ]

What are you taking?

[ He wasn't expecting "LSD" for an answer, but he was listening to see how he answered. Sorry, Will. ]

Kade Kilgore | Marvel 616

[futureminions]

[Welp, would you look at the twelve year old dressed for success. He's just walking the streets like he owns the place. Like, oh you've been transported to another world? No big deal. This kid is literally not phased by anything. Even the stares he gets from all his fancy-pants clothing.]

miss fuckin america | marvel

[patriota]

[ there's some hispanic chick flying down from who knows where, hovering a few feet above the ground. she's got her jacket hood up and she looks muy unimpressed with what is going on. she looks at the dog tags in one hand the communicator in the other. ]

Tch. Been there, done that, holmes.

[ she shoves the dog tags into her jacket pocket and scowls. ]

Whatever. Definitely isn't Earth-616.

[tesselate]

Man, if you keep this up, I'm going to start thinking you're following me around.

[BUT SMILING SO BIG.]

In a good way.

E.N "Emanon" | Memories of Emanon

[emanon]

[ She's just going to find a nice little place to sit and light up a smoke, as if this was just something that didn't matter all that much. To her, in all honesty, it doesn't. Life goes on right.

So she's just chilling as she puffs some smoke. Like, probably right next to you. ]

Faith Lehane | Buffyverse

[sideless]

[ Faith is decidedly making her way through whatever crowd is on her way to the Porter building, a bottle of something that looks like rum in one hand and the other...well, the other balled up in a fist.

Yeah, she had her fun, but now it's time to end this. ]

Fuck this shit, I'm punching my way home.

[ What? It usually works. ]

i don't know what season she's from but still HERE HAVE A VI LOOKALIKE

[egohalfempty]

[ The sad little redhead sitting at her computer doesn't look like she's going to be any help with this "punching home" plan, but hey, at least she seems sympathetic. ]

I don't think it works that way.

Unfortunately.

Not that I... really have the upper body strength to punch my way anywhere, but–

Princess Kidagakash | Disney

[kwahmtehredsehnen]

[ Kida can be found wandering around the city. Sometimes she stops and she pushes roughly at the buttons of her new device, sticking her tongue out a little and trying to figure it out. She only just remembered how to use the pads at home.

She doesn't get this stuff at all. ]

that one protagonist from that one show about killing vampires and destroying hellmouths

[defending]

[ Buffy is accosting some "evil looking creepy guy" in the park. Unfortunately for her, he's actually just homeless and she is falsely accusatory of his motivations. But she's had a bad day. A really bad day. Why not take it out on some poor guy that just happens to look like a Kurt Kobain impersonator? He's skulking! It's nighttime! He must be a vampire. ]

Let's try again. From the top. I said - [ She grip him by the shirt and lifts him at the collar, well above the level he'd need to keep his feet on the ground. ] Tell me who you work for. Really, it's a simple question. All I want is info. I'll even let you live.

[hexappeal]

[The only vampires in the City are dudes this gal really likes. Who knows why she's out here alone at night? (Hint: she couldn't sleep and could use some fresh air and maybe a taco after inhaling that air...)

She's seen some weird things in the City, but her missing assistant and friend (frassistant, if you will) beating on some homeless dude wasn't one of them. Zatanna just waltzes on up and gently taps her shoulder, assuming there must be a reason for this display.] Need some help here, B?

Lee || Fallen Angel/DC I guess??

[liandra]

[ There's a red cloaked figure perched on a building at the dead of the night, and it's watching you.

Yes, you. It has been tracking you down for a while, from a distance, bidding her time. Rater than make a move she decides to stalk some more. Because a bright red cloak is totally stealthy, yep.

Although she maybe wants to be noticed.

Actually, Lee doesn't care whether she has been noticed or not; she hasn't made her mind of what to do next. Other than stalking, that is. ]

Daniel "Oz" Osbourne | that werewolf from some vampire show

[laconichowls]

So. There's a penis on the moon now.

...Interesting.

[sideless]

...huh

I thought I was seeing things.

[ She isn't even going to say hi. ]

Dawn Summers | the show that's about her sister

[knowsaboutviscera]

[Dawn is just wandering around the City, having a look at things. As you do when you just got here and have no idea how or why or how to get back where you came from.

She's also half-mumbling to herself in irritation. Surprise dimension-hopping? Not as cool as it sounds.]

Why don't they ever give you a warning about these things?

[hexappeal]

[Zatanna isn't so much looking at things as wandering around. She has given herself the day off of work, so it's all hanging out and messing around and snacking whenever she sees a place that catches her eye.

She nearly walks right on by Dawn until she hears her speak. The voice is strangely familiar. She knows it from somewhere, but she can't quite put her finger on it. When she turns toward the one the voice came from she stares for a minute and points a solid second or two before snapping her fingers together and speaking.] Dawn! Buffy's sister, right?
