Ricky flicked off Keren as she elbowed her way past him. Had she been a dude, they'd be in a brawl. But Ricky was raised right (mostly). He knew better than to hit a woman.
And suddenly --- the Gemini twins emerged. And most importantly, they brought booze and were singing Ke$ha. Finally. Someone that Ricky could actually trust to be a leader.
"Yo," Ricky called to the Gemini twins, making his way to them, his eyes fixated on the bottle in the man's hands. He was longing for alcohol, having only been teased with the taste of a shot of whiskey on his tongue before disappearing. "Is that beer?"

Natalia tried to remember the events just before falling asleep, but no, she hadn't heard anything. Her CD-player had been blaring 90's music, and her room window had been open. A busy street ran beside it, blocked only by a short piece of yard and shrubberies.
"Sorry, I got nothing. My CD player was on. I had my Window open though," she gave Virgo an expression between appologetic and 'I tried.'
Then came the Geminis. Oh god. They were doomed. If this wasn't a dream - which it was - and they had to rely on these guys? They were so doomed. Natalia might have been wearing this face; gonk

Aya didn't care if the girl - Virgo, she called herself? - was irritated with Aya's questions. Being yanked out of her apartment didn't stop Aya from being a reporter. Being at the -- the edge of the solar system, crap, seriously!? s**t. Well, being there (here?) didn't stop Aya from trying to get as much information as possible. When she got home, she would have a kickass article, with more information on these terrorists (senshi, they were calling themselves?) than anyone else ever had. God, and this girl was just giving information away. Aya had to bite back a snort. Easiest mark ever.
"My apologies," Aya said, smiling like the cat that got the cream. "I must have missed that part."
A little too busy jotting down things like The Surrounding, Virgo - Zodiac, captain, Innocence wtf?, and senshi. At least everyone else was repeating the information so that Aya could be sure she wasn't missing anything.
Fluffing her shortish hair, she joined in the 'where were you when xyz happened?' game. "Aya Ito. I was brushing my teeth when I started feeling dizzy."
And thank any gods out there that she'd dropped the toothbrush and grabbed for her PDA instead, thinking to dial 911 if she thought she was about to pass out - imagine if she'd been here with a toothbrush instead of her precious smartphone!
"I didn't see or hear anyone behind me, and the security in my apartment block is pretty high - I don't think any normal burglar could have gotten in." Unless they were invisible and could teleport. Crap. Aya was talking to some magical girl terrorist, after all. Maybe that was entirely possible.
The drunken pair didn't go unnoticed, or unmentioned in her notes. Drunken magical terrorists, she typed. Just what the city needed.

"Well, maybe just work on HP buffs. And we have stamina- Oh s**t!" Checking her pockets and yup. "I left the health potions at home!" Heal potions, energy drinks, same difference. Her pockets lacked their usual weight. She knew she forgot something. Figured that when she'd need them they would be at home. "s**t. s**t, ******** Anders. I'm sorry man." It had been her turn for the drinks and she'd left 'em. Hawke, not the best all the time.
Suddenly, half naked duded in Space Fade? Hot damn Hawke may not have a way to Dragon Logic that but oh if her 16 year old mind didn't stop and fritz out while going 'ABS'. "If that's a spirit of the Fade it must have been the spirit of sexy." Or Lust. Did it matter? Nope. Hawke saw Abs. And Abs were never a bad thing. Not when you were 16. Then a girl showed up. She was all pretty and ethereal and Woah. Okay. So Dragon Age logic was kind of being taken out back and shot. How to work with this? Anders voted spirit and he was the mage, meaning he got +10 lore. Or something. But the girl, Virgo was going on about being as Soldier, Captain, Six of Twelve, and Innocence. Whispering into Anders ear Hawke made a guess. "I'm just going to go with if the Spirit of Innocence and the Spirit of Justice had a love child..if spirits can have kids or something. She kind of reminds me of Andraste?"
Still, Virgo suddenly got Hawke's attention. "-so I can call on you again later if I need you."
Did that sound like a quest offer? "That sounded like a quest." Eyes lit up as a grin was given to Anders. Her hand shot up and she waved going up to Andraste-Spirit-Virgo. "Angelica Hawke Jones! With Anders Lewell! We were off on a quest to save Kirkwall. LARP style."
The sudden arrival of the totem pole had Hawke spinning on her heel and then just kind of look at the one singing. "Spirit of bards?"

People were crowding around Virgo now, which was understandable - through it made Joshua cranky. As all hell. He didn't like this, and tried to squeeze himself out of the gathering bodies
Personal space, people ! God Damn It ! Being in ******** space was no damn excuse ! Seriously.
He didn't care if he smacked anyone on the way out. It was possible this happened.
"It was very faint... I have no idea what it was." He told Virgo, apologetically.
Then the Geminis came, and he found himself really, really wanting a beer now. One hand went up to rub the bridge of his nose.
Half the people here were morons.

Amy's eyes widened as she turned all her attention to Joce. "Wow, I figured that I was just pushing myself too hard when I felt something like that." It was a little common for her to go overboard when running. At least at night she didn't have to fight with the unforgiving sun. "I...I guess that sick feeling was from this."
It was something she initially had brushed off so easily when first arriving on the rainbow road, but now she worried a little more than her brain could handle. The newest pair (plus one) additions with Virgo were a healthy distraction. Pity that Regina's alien theory kept getting kicked down with each new arrival.

It seemed that everything was happening at once. Raven glanced up at Jett, and after listening to both him and Darwin tell of their tales of the evening, she also added her story.
"Hello, I'm Raven Moore, I was practicing my handstand and back handspring...I thought I fell over, but when I did end up opening my eyes, I found myself here..." She said to Soldier Virgo.
When the two Gemini Twins came up she stared and shook her head. "All right. Where are all of these people coming from? And why can't we just leave with them? Can't you guys take us home?"
She used her free hand to smooth her hair back, getting just a little on edge. Sure. Things were fine, but then these costumed people started showing up, and it just...she didn't know what was going on. With slight hesitation, she proceeded to take Jett's hand as well, letting out just a slight sigh. He was so much taller than her. He could keep her safe.
Huh. Just when things started seeming a little normal again. Her grip on Darwin's hand tightened.

What the heck was going on here. She knew it. She knew it. She was going mad. People dress up in clown suit acting like they know they know the place. She was just talking to Jett and boom. Man she must of really hit her head hard coming her, well hopefully. That would be the only thing that would explain it.
"Jett! Jett! Who are these strange people." she said grabbing his hand holding him close terrified.

“Senshi of Duality, bitches” Andeon corrected Hawke, “Sailors Alpha Gemini Beta Dual Zodiac Optimus Prime what?”
As usual with the Gemini twins, it was impossible to tell if he was trolling or just intoxicated.
“Well,” Andeon began, as though slightly insulted that someone would dare even ask if he had beer, “It's magical beer.” Jazz hands happened on the word magical, and Snuzzles mimicked by clicking his hard little legs rapidly against the ground. It looked strangely like tapdancing.
“El Ca-pee-tan, isn't there a rule against whining pussies at the Surrounding? ”

Eliza shook her head wild hair tumbling about. She frowned her face up thinking, "I do not remember any footstep or anything like that. Only thing I've heard here is lots of talking and music like noise, but it doesn't last."
Her head cocked to the side looking at the tumbled pair and she smiled at the the Gemini's. "Hi," she said, the odd looking girl rocking on her feet, eyes wondering.
"So, Ms. Virgo. If you send us home, how do you find out why we are here and don't you wonder if we might just come right back. Nothing stopped us the first time right. Maybe we are suppose to be here, like just this once. Um maybe."
She looked to the Gemini's but her smile faded away, "that's not very nice."

Something smacked into the side of Fritz's head.
"Ow."
Fritz rubbed at his cheek, not particularly bothered, and a glance sideways told him that one of the guys was attempting to disentangle himself from the ridiculous amount of people milling about.
"Bit too crowded in here, isn't it?" Fritz said to him with a rueful laugh, shaking his head.
That drink in one of the twins' hands was starting to look very good.

Felix turned his attention toward the blond girl in the eccentric outfit. She introduced herself as ‘Zodiac Captain Virgo,’ evoking an incredulous look from him. Whatever she was the captain of, he figured it had a zodiac theme—though he imagined that the captain would have been someone like Aries. Most people pegged Aries as captain-like. He tried not to sigh exasperatedly at Layton’s comment. “You don’t need to be nervous. She doesn’t look angry.” Not that angry, at least. To his delight, the ‘captain’ began to divulge some information. This wasn’t a dream. They weren’t dead. They were, indeed, in space.
Senshi. “What’s a senshi?” He mused aloud as Virgo instructed for people to come forward and say their name and what they were doing prior. Figuring there were plenty of people to keep the girl busy, Felix opted to stay where he was.
Then he heard someone—two someones—singing Ke$ha. He couldn’t stop glaring at the Scottish-dressed pair as they arrived, one of them toting a bottle of beer. “I hate that song.” Felix kept staring at the male Gemini and silently noted how much he hated the guy.

Keren luckily did not see Ricky flick her off - otherwise there might have been a full-court brawl, or, barring that, a bunch of really nasty posts about it on her Livejournal. Virgo's refusal to take her home this instant, coupled with sarcasm, already had her in a snippy mood (Keren gave cattiness - she didn't like to receive it.) but the arrival of a pair of drunks and what looked like the mutant offspring of a cockroach and a miniature poodle was what really put her over the edge.
She wanted to go home now. Keren sniffed loudly, pouted, and clenched her fingers tight against her biceps. This was some horrible, cosmic joke and if she couldn't wake up from it then you could bet that she wasn't going to be a happy camper about it.
"My father is going to sue all of you," she complained loudly.

"Following? No... No I don't remember anything like that. "I remember the heart pounding thing thing though." She added. "....now I'm remembering the time my cousin Nancy described having a migrane..." She added, in a manner that wasn't exactly as under her breath as it might have been.
"...Two drunken stooges and a... thing...." She was pretty sure she'd seen pictures of the vaguely crab like Snuzzles, some kind of freakish deep sea thing... the sort that vacuumed unpleasant things off the bottom of the ocean, the way these two seemed to have been vacuuming booze.
If these were really terrorists, she was starting to question how effective they could possibly be. At least the booziness made her feel a little better about being in an old t-shirt and pj pants. It also made the 'smelling like chocolate' thing sound even better... especially compared to 'stinking of booze'.
"Oh my god would you SHUT UP?" She added, in another burst of heat, glaring at the whiny basketball b***h. The sort of girl who really really gave Crystal a bad taste in people's mouth. If the school ever needed money, clearly they could line up a bunch of the entitled, superior students for a dunking game. They'd make a fortune on all the people who wished they'd go soak their heads for a few minutes.

"Did not really think to check. Got a coffee right after work, closed my eyes, and hello im suddenly seeing stars." And rainbows.... for that matter. Though she had to admit, under different circumstances she would have thought the place pretty. "Though i am still not 100% sure i am not dreaming this up." She was still wearing the scrubs that she had gotten the coffee in, was that a clue this was NOT a dream?
Turning around... with the show that was now backing the way down the road, she was still not sure. Was the circus coming to town early?
Where the hell were these people coming from? Just what lay at the end of that long and twisty road?
Looking down at the man, whom was wearing a skirt... kilt? ...No looked like a skirt, she smelt something on the air.
"... are you trying to pickle your liver and brain?" She said, glaring for a moment. She hated alcohol and the amount of patients she saw each day because someone was stupid and got wasted. Then just as quick, she slammed a hand over her mouth and backed up further in to the crowd. Whoops. She had a hunch pissing off the man in the mini skirt would be a BAD idea.
