The Plothook from Another Dimension

[Hurog]

Taka travels for some time before finally spotting the symbol on the card. The card slot beside the door accepts the card first try, and the door fades away, leaving behind a simple room with four beds, on one a girl sits, pointing a gun at you. (or an appropriately described strange device if taka has never before seen one)
"Who are you, and what do you want?" she asks.
(cue Asuza! Imerak, take it from here)

 

[Kafkonia]

"This, um, this is our room," Kei replies, hesitating in the doorway. He tries to nonchalantly shift his position so that Taka is standing between him and the girl with the weapon. "I guess this is your room too?"

 

[Shayuri]

"Yes," Thessaly says quickly to the woman. "Thanks...thanks a lot." She quickly looks at her card, then holds it out to compare it to Kei's.

She turns beet red. "We're...sharing a room?" Then she squares her shoulders and says with false bravado. "Well! I'm sure there's enough bathroom space, and privacy for everyone. Lets check it out!"

Thessaly starts down the hall, comparing her card image to that of each dormitory.

 

[Imerak]

"Roommates, huh?" Asuza says. "Well, I suppose that makes sense. Come on in, I don't bite often. The red-haired girl drops the gun onto the bed, where in a puff of smoke it tranforms into a small, dazed rabbit-like creature. Jeez, I'm getting paranoid... I suppose having your world blow up on you does that.

Asuza sees Kei and scowls. "A guy? But... you can't... why would they... look, just... no funny business, okay mister? Because I've got some weaponry that could use a good work-out, and perverts are my favourite target."

"Asuza Toei, by the way. Who're you?"

 

[Masquerade]

"Taka. Forgive me if I'm not very talkative."

Taka walks to the bed furthest from the door, where she sits awkwardly. She's not accustomed to such comfortable accomodations, especially when such accomodations are just handed to her.

Still, she is in a very strange situation. It wouldn't be in her best interest to be untrusting at this point.

Although social skills aren't her speciality by any stretch, Taka decides that she had best accept her new roomates as comrades and get to know them better. It would seem that she may one day - a day not that far away - be forced to place her life in their hands.

An unsettling thought. Life was much easier alone.

. . .

But maybe friends are what being human is all about?

 

[Kafkonia]

"What? I -- no -- I mean, it wasn't my --" Kei is obviously flustered, and he seems to shrink a little. Sweat begins to bead on his forehead. "They told me to come here."

Great, he thinks to himself, sharing a room with three girls and it looks like two of them are psycho. And the third one's Thessaly, and she doesn't count.

He hesitates in the doorway, waiting for Thessaly.

 

[Masquerade]

After an awkward pause, Taka decides to try to get to know her comrades and their abilities better. Teamwork wasn't her thing, but she would had to give it a try.

"Miss Toei, on your world, is it normal for firearms to turn into mammals?"

 

[Shayuri]

Thessaly gives Kei a sidelong glance, then slips quietly into the room and onto a bed near the door. Even as strangeness welled up in her again, threatening hysteria, she could take comfort in small familiarities. The chatter of nearby people. And, though she hated the selfishness of it, Kei was here too. Someone she -knew-. That alone helped a lot.

She manages to calm down and just listen to the others for a moment as she tries to decide what she wants to do next.

 

[Imerak]

"Whatever," Asuza says to Kei. "Just giving you fair warning is all. It seems like all the guys I meet are perverts." She was sure that he would be much the same, but the other two didn't seem too bad. Nice and quiet.

"Miss Toei, on your world, is it normal for firearms to turn into mammals?"

"Eh? Oh, this is Haru. He's my dumb little talking animal thing. But he can turn into a gun for some reason, so he's okay with me," Asuza says dismissively. Inwardly, she still resented Haru a little for bringing all this strangeness into her life. Not to mention he had come with her when all of her friends and family were lost, maybe forever.

"A pleasure to meet you," says the rabbit, in perfect if a bit formal Japanese. He hops up onto Asuza's shoulder.

 

[Kafkonia]

"Whatever," Asuza says to Kei. "Just giving you fair warning is all. It seems like all the guys I meet are perverts."

"And I'm sure that has nothing to do with you," Kei replies, taking a seat on the sole unoccupied bed. "So, I guess we're all stuck in this Star Trek convention for the same reason?"
