Lost Cause

War of the Multiverse

The shouts from outside caught Lucy's attention, and for reasons she couldn't quite understand, she ran to follow them. What she didn't notice was the Smile Pact launching itself off the floor one last time and landing in her pocket.

She saw a flash of something green and purple that might have been vaguely grape-shaped as she ran. And then her eyes fell on the familiar white... thing with the red ring on its back. And those piercing, unblinking red eyes.

Of course, what she didn't see was the exposed tree-root that she caught with her foot, which combined with the already low grip her shoes had on the sandy ground to make her face-plant right in front of everyone else.

"Ow..."

So now I'm worried that any attempt I make to not be running around on my own for the entire RP is just going to wind up coming across as clinging to the coattails of a more established group.

"I think it might have something to do with this." Lucy pulled the pink jewel from her pocket. "Since I fell into the portal as soon as I picked it up."

...Wait, I wasn't wearing a skirt ten minutes ago.

At the same time, the Smile Pact jumped up off of the floor and smacked her in the back of the head.

And why is a toy Smile Pact attacking me?

Um... I'm pretty sure gravedancing like that's covered by the same "don't be a dick" rules that got said user banned in the first place.

"I guess that makes some sort of sense. I guess the whole thing about 'other worlds' is going to take some getting used to though." Slowly, Lucy laid a hand on a nearby table and pushed herself back onto her feet. And then nearly collapsed again, clearly not quite having her land legs back.

"But who's the Admiral?"

"It seemed more pink than black, but that was definitely my first portal."

"Y-yeah, I think so." Lucy pushed herself up into a sitting position. "I mean, aside from having no idea where I am, how I got here or what I'm meant to be doing."

She looked around.

"Since I'm pretty sure that five minutes ago I wasn't in a bar."

And before anyone asks, I do intend to explain why my character looks different in that post compared to her sheet.

Eventually.

Once I figure it out.

Out of universe reason is basically "stock footage" though.

War of the Multiverse

A flurry of pink petals and a slightly sickeningly strong smell of cherries heralded the arrival of the next traveller, as a portal of some description dumped a girl with short blonde hair wearing a school uniform onto the floorboards.

"Ow..." She groaned as she sat up, before a pink object dropped out of the portal and clocked her on the head, knocking her back down again.

"Where... where am I?" She asked no-one in particular. Although the fact that she was flat on her back in a stereotypical western saloon was clearly a clue she wasn't anywhere familiar any more...

• Starting World: Earth
• Backstory: There's not really a whole lot to say. Fairly normal nerdy girl, found a weird pink flower-shaped jewel thing while out on her bike, which dumped her into a dimensional portal and sent her on the journey we're going to follow here.
