[IC] Strange things are going to happen here, okay? (Crossover rp)

[Frenzy]

@mmarage

Ah-hah, the first sign of any life in the strangely empty hellhole, a faint hello with a questioning intonation. Perfect. Sirin marches on with a newfound objective to help distract herself from the little sense she could make of her present trappings. She follows the roads and turns corners to find the source of the voice, which surprisingly, was easy enough to do. She peaks around a building to see an oddly-dressed someone. And that was saying a lot. Choirmen were perfectly content to wear burlap sacks and an amalgam of red cloth. Sirin steps into view, "You there!" she calls, the ornate headdress lending much to her ability to stand tall in spite of her small physique, "Explain who you are and the purpose of this place." As she speaks, the dull breeze slowly begins to pick up.

"Huh...?" I mumbled and just stared at the girl standing before me. Well... this day just got a bit weirder. "Uh... well, my name is Joe, and this is a city, not sure where, I kind of just woke up on a bus and my phone isn't working so I can't call for help." I said, the confusion was clear in my voice and expression. Surely she would know what a city was, right...? Maybe she's just seriously into cosplay and taking the role seriously. "Er... do... you not live here?" I asked. I hoped that if she did, that she'd drop the act and help, if not... then either we have one crazy coincidence wherein we both just somehow got to this town with little to no knowledge how, or we've both been the victims of kidnapping for whatever reason and we needed to find the nearest police station because god knows what sick plans our kidnapper may have for us.

"Come on Fready was it? Let us look around. Staying in this back alleyway will not give us any answers" Waving for the robot to follow him Gaster moved back out in the main city only to see too more people in the area.

Being what he was he was reluctant to go and make himself known to the others seeing they were both quite clearly human where he was not. However standing around will get him no-where, taking a deep breath he moved up to the two he saw before him, making his presence known "Seems there is more lost here than I thought. Do any of you know where here is?" Keeping his tone friendly hoping not to alarm them by being a talking skeleton with a cracked skull and a hole in each palm of his hand wearing a long black coat with a turtle neck gray sweater underneath. Black trousers as well as black shoes.

I looked at the newcomer and couldn't help but grin. That was one costume I could recognize. "Whoa, that's a really good Gaster costume." I said, I couldn't help it. Undertale had been one of my favorite games for a while. I stopped grinning and rubbed the back of my head, embarrassed. "Oh, sorry. I don't know where this place is, I kinda just woke up on a bus a little while ago. Do... you also not know? Ugh... this is just getting weirder and weirder." I said, adjusting my glasses then crossing my arms, glancing around our surroundings. "It's like this entire city is dead. You... don't think that some weird organization or something kidnapped us for some weird experiment or game or something, do you?" I asked.

This girl and myself not knowing where we were seemed coincidental, another guy showing up also not knowing where we were, that stops being a coincidence and slips into conspiracy territory. Who would kidnap a bunch of people, and for what purpose? Why drop us in this city? Why is this city abandoned? Surely there would have been major news if a city had to evacuate, or at least some stories about a long since abandoned city, but from the looks of things, it didn't look like it had been abandoned long. The buildings didn't appear to be crumbling, there weren't any apparent signs of decay or of nature starting to take back the land, nothing. So... does that mean that the city was constructed for whatever purpose that we were brought here for? The questions just keep piling up.

"Costume..?" Gaster frowned a little feeling a little confused still but still, this human at least seems to know him from somewhere? Coming up with an idea Gaster spoke calmly while raising both hands high enough so he could see right through both holes in his palms. "I think your mistaken? Introductions are in order I think. My name is W.D Gaster, this is no costume. Behind me...is I guess a robot going by the name of Fready. @Blueflame

Lowering his hands back into his pocket as he had proven his point he waited patiently watching the human before him to see his reaction.

(sorry for the double post, the guild playing up)

[mmarage]

@Rafiel_purewing

He... had holes in his hands. Either... that's some real dedication to a character to actually chop out bits of your own hands, or maybe it was an accident that he used for his cosplay, or it's some sort of trick. I mean, W.D Gaster is a secret character from a super popular indie game, not a real person... er... monster that exists.

"Ahaha... I... ah... don't know how you did that, I mean, really cool that you did that for the costume, or maybe it was just an unfortunate consequence from something else and I am so sorry for that, but... ah... this really isn't the time to be playing around. You can't be a character from a video game, that's just... impossible. That's fiction. C-Can you drop the act? I mean, I get it, you clearly put a lot of work into your cosplay and all, and breaking character would definitely do injustice to it, but... ya know, now's not the time for that." I said, trying, and failing, to keep the nervousness out of my voice.

Could... this just be a dream? I pinched the back of my hand as hard as I could. Nope. Pain, definitely pain. Plus, if I realized this was a dream, that'd mean that I was lucid dreaming, and could shape the world around me as I pleased... and right now being in an empty city that could just have a thousand zombies just burst out of the buildings around me at any moment is definitely not the place I want to be dreaming of.

...Wait, did he say Freddy?

[Rafiel_purewing]

@Blueflame The withered form of Fready Frazbear turned his head to the ones talking. "Hi..my n..name is Fready Faz.. Frazbear. Welcome to..." Faster glanced back before looking at the human before him as he stood there in disbelief. He had hoped showing the kid his hands would be enough prove but the kid seemed to refuse to believe what is in front of him.

Shaking his head slightly, he didn't really want to prove his identity to this kid but it be better if there was no confusion on who is who. Gaster tried again being patient, he could understand why the human didn't want to believe the truth but he had to learn eventually. "Kid, try to calm down. I assure you that this is no costume. I am who I am and I can prove it to you. This place we are in is...messed up. Look kid..." Not wanting to alarm him Gaster flicked one hand, just behind his head a summoned hand appeared with a green center. With a wave Gaster created a shield before him and in front of the boy.

@Rafiel_purewing

(Alright, so long as Blue's fine with that.)

I looked between the two in utter shock. This... has to be a dream. Time to wake up now, Joe. Wakey wakey eggs n' bakey, Sal's probably pissed that you passed out in his bus and you're not waking up. SO WAKE UP DAMMIT!

I slapped myself in vain, I wasn't waking up from this. "N-Nope... not a dream." I said, rubbing my reddened cheek. I backed away from Freddy warily, I knew what he had a propensity to do. I really didn't feel like getting my body torn to bloody pieces by being shoved into an animatronic suit. "T-This... isn't possible. I mean, it can't be. I... I... was just driven here. I even woke up on the bus and everything. This... should still be my world. So... you two shouldn't exist." I said, trying to convince myself more than anything. I mean... under normal circumstances, this would probably be really cool for me... I mean, not Freddy since he's a killer haunted animatronic who'd probably rip me limb from bloody limb.

All I would have to do is walk, it'd take a long time, but... I could find someone on the road to drive me back to my place. I'd... be back to work and school like nothing ever happened. Right...? I was on the same bus... right...? I... didn't really check it... but... it should have been the same one... I think. But... what if it isn't? What if it was a completely different bus? What if I somehow ended up in an entirely different world?

I was shaking pretty badly. Why did I ever wish that I wanted something interesting to happen? I... brought this on myself. I should never have wanted anything more than my normal boring life. Now... I might never see any of my friends and family ever again. I was going to die here. I mean, if they have Gaster, and he can use magic, who knows what other kinds of people or monsters are lurking around the corner looking to kill others? I'm... I'm just an average human with a below average standard of athleticism. I'm so dead.

[Blueflame]

@Rafiel_purewing(thanks I'm good now) @mmarage
"You t_toto are b^Brbreaking the rules." Freddy said shaking slightly "Huh Huh Huh" Freddy laughed deeply "Endos^skskeletons are not allowed out with out costume_eses" Freddy said stuck in place as its eyes flicked in between them both.

[Rafiel_purewing]

@Blueflame@mmarage

Gaster eyed Fready a little before waving his hand, allowing his shield to vinish as well as the summoned hand. "I understand this is a lot to take in, It is a lot for me too. The last thing I remember was sleeping at my desk in Hotland..I woke up here and found this strange thing..So again, I will ask, what is your name? If you like...I will keep you safe while your in my presence?" Gaster offered the boy his hand to shake in friendship while ignoreing Fready a little, not sure what it was really on about with breaking the rules.

With a slight turn of his head he spoke to Fready choosing his words carfully. "There is a living soul in you? What happened? Do you understand me..?"

[mmarage]

@Rafiel_purewing @Blueflame

I looked at his outstretched hand and took a deep breath. "Calm down, Joe. Freaking out, it isn't going to help anything." I thought, I grabbed his hand and shook it. "My name's Joe, I'm a college student. I was returning home from my shift at the university's library, and fell asleep on the bus, then I just woke up in one, so... I thought it was the same one and had been driven somewhere, but... I guess that isn't the case." I said. Then my blood ran cold when I heard Freddy say those words. My grip on his hand tightened a little as I stared at the animatronic.

"That's... he's Freddy Fazbear, an antagonist from a game series called Five Nights at Freddy's. If he catches you, he'll put you inside of an animatronic suit, because of the design of the suit, it'll mangle you. To make a very long and confusing story short, there is a soul inside of it, a vengeful soul of a child that was murdered by one of the owners of the pizzeria chain." I said, glancing between Gaster and Freddy.

[Rafiel_purewing]

@Blueflame@mmarage

"I knew there was a soul in it...I can feel it. If you know anything about me then you know I am an expert when it comes to soul energys..Joe was it? I'm as much as confused as you are but I mean what I said. I ill make sure your safe in my care okay? As for Fready? I will keep an eye on it so you need not worry." Shaking the boys hand before letting go pocketing his hands in his coat pocket. "For now, safety in numbers I think? At least it be better to stick together than wondering aimlessly lost in this world. I have never been above ground before either so this is all new to me.."

[mmarage]

@Rafiel_purewing

"You are in your world at least. I am unsure if the property of a soul in your world is applicable in each world. I mean for instance, whenever I get into a fight or anything like that, mine doesn't manifest into a physical form. I mean, maybe souls are exactly the same no matter which world they come from, but if they aren't, then we may not be able to put Freddy's soul at rest. In the game, he and the rest of the children are only put at rest once they get revenge on their murderer and if you find some secrets hidden within minigames, if I remember correctly." I said, I couldn't hide the worry that I was feeling, it was clear on my face.

I looked over at Freddy. "However, since we aren't in the pizzeria, he probably can't do anything to us. He shouldn't have a supply of animatronic suits with him, unless he takes off his own, but then he would be breaking his own programming. Though, his jaws do have the power to pierce through a human skull and take a nice big chunk out of your frontal lobe. Seriously, the guy who made these animatronics the way they are is pretty sick in the head. Of course he did murder several children so..." I said, trailing off. I don't know if it would be a good idea to have a vengeful animatronic with us who clearly has some murderous intent.

[Frenzy]

Sirin huffs. So no one knew what was going on. She traces the metal of her headdress along her jawline in thought. There she was- the Archon of Song- receiving no looks of loathing from... lesser folk. She eyes the three, listening to whatever nonsense they were going on about. "Ah-hah," Sirin laughs, unnerved after hearing what Joe said about the machine-thing, "So this is a microcosm, then? Not one of us knows how we ended up here, and here he is with a little bit of knowledge on you two."

[mmarage]

@Frenzy

I looked over at her. "Well, that's because in my world, they're video game characters from popular indie titles. Gaster is kind of a secret character from an RPG, and Freddy is from a horror game. I think you might actually be a video game character as well, though I never played it or watched any gameplay, I think a friend might've told me about it and showed me a few pictures and I'm pretty sure I saw you in one, but that's about it, sorry." I said, rubbing the back of my head. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut with the information that I had. I mean, it does seem suspicious that we've all popped up here and I have knowledge about two people... well, a monster and an animatronic, that I've never met before. That could point to me having some part in their abduction if not the mastermind behind it all.

[Rafiel_purewing]

Gaster glanced over at Fready keeping an eye on him before glancing at Joe and the female as they started to talk to each other. "I am who I am, do not treat me as some creation of some game here? It's a little confusing to think I am nothing but someone elses creation and the possibility that I may not even be...'real'. The very idea of it actully is a little unnerving. I like to think of myself as being as much real as you are thank you."

Turning his attention to the girl he offered a smile after having his say, "What do we call you miss..?"

@mmarage@Frenzy@Blueflame

@Frenzy@mmarage@Rafiel_purewing
"A_araRe you new Ttoo i do not think Iⁱi have seen you here before a^atlatleast you follow the rules somewhat" freddy said stuck in place but pointing to the headdress. Freddy's head sparked and he dropped his microphone, his eyes shut closed and he appeared frozen mid sentence. Freddy started to fall towards Joe. If Joe didn't move he would be pinned under withered Freddy's weight sharp edges of the endoskeleton showing through the costume would most definitely cut him deeply.

[Frenzy]

@mmarage @Rafiel_purewing @Blueflame

She falters for a moment, but regains her composure when she looks at Gaster and Freddy. "Sirin, Archon of Song," she replies, and frowns when the mock bear points at her helmet. Oh, if only that thing could be removed without her dying in the process. "...And.. what really is that thing-" Sirin takes a quick step back when Freddy begins to fall towards Joe from something.

[Rafiel_purewing]

@Blueflame@mmarage@Frenzy

Gaster acted quickly, he pushed Joe out of the way getting inbetween fready and Joe, keeping his word. He had promiced the kid he would keep him safe and was staying true to his word. Metal scratched against bone as his coat got torn at some points feeling some pain from it. Glancing back to Joe while holding Fready off, "You okay kid?"
