The In Character Character Game: Part III

[Thomas Hobbes]

"Ah. I failed german, that might explain it."

 

[ThoughtBubble]

Daniel nods slowly. "If that's it, we'll begin looking for your pilot now." He heads for the door, listening for any other info.

 

[Pyrex]

The guy in the bubble knocks on the force field a couple of times.

*knock, knock*

"um, hello?"

 

[Dalamar]

"So are we dragging the guy along or not?" Wille asks and points his thumb towards the bubble boy.

 

[ThoughtBubble]

"So are we dragging the guy along or not?" Wille asks and points his thumb towards the bubble boy.

Daniel looks back over his shoulder. "Yeah. That was the plan."

He shrugs and, walks back over to the bubble. He taps the bubble twice, and in the same honey coated voice he uses to talk to puppies, he says "Hello there. Hi! Hi!" He waves at the bubble, trying to catch the resident's attention, again, in the same manner you would a puppy.

Looking back at the group, he smiles comically. "I say we name him Goods."

"Just by reputation," says Thomas quietly. He glances at the boy in the bubble and clears his throat. "I think we agreed we'll take the, er, slave with us." Sleazy immoral little gasbag thinks Thomas uncharitably.

"Excellent!" Watto clapped his hands and fluttered about a bit. Tapping a button on his belt, the force field shut off and the collar glowed once again. "Bring back Speed! Or bring back my slave. If the slave is damaged you have to pay...one way or the other." He smiled but somehow that smile was less than comforting.

In fact, everyone gets the feeling that they aren't quite alone, but there doesn't seem to be anyone or anything else in the room but them, Watto, and their new acquisition.

"Be on your way now! I give you all information you need already. Hurry back!"

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

"I say we call him by whatever he says his name is," says Thomas, frowning. "Look at the way he's dressed- unless there's some obscure line of fiction featuring fairly normal looking people, that's not one of Barney's new introductions to the biosphere. As in, a person like you or me." He shrugs. "Let's get going."

He shakes his head and helps the man to stand and offeringhim the outermost of his jackets- it's cold out there. "Howdy. I'm Thomas. What do they call you?"

 

[Pyrex]

Still looking disoriented from the drugs, he stumbles clear of the forcefield towards Thomas and looks around for his jacket. If he doesn't see it he'll take the one Thomas is offering.

"Thanks, I'm Mike. What's going on?"

 

[dream66_]

What's going on is tough to explain, Mike. Nice to meet you by the way, I'm Diana. Basically Barney the purple dinosaur has made fiction come to life, and it's not a good thing. Gandalf wants us to stop him and his hypnotic singing before the entire universe breaks down... or something like that. Just follow these guys, you'll catch on.

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

Thomas gives Diana a small smile. "Let's not freak out the norms. You've got to break him in easier than that." He turns back to Mike. "As you might've gussed, there's some wierd stuff going on. I just came to, myself, although in nicer conditions than this. You ever heard of fanfiction? This seems to be like that, with crossovers galore. We've got Gandalf and Saruman on our side, plus a couple of others I don't recognize. When I met up with them they had just come from Diagon Alley from Harry Potter, and they were talking with a video game commando character called Solid Snake." He points surreptitiously at Mario. "And don't look now, but I think that's Picachu."

He shakes his head. "Sorry. I was going to try to take it slowly. So anyway, Barney the Purple Dinasaur, a man in a foam suit from a children's television series, seems to have fubarred reality, hence all the cross-polinization. I think he's questing for supreme power; I'm fuzzy on the details. But here we are, on a mission from a character from Star Wars to find an anime character from an 80's TV show.

"Hope you're good at rolling with the punches..."
