Like A Comic Book City (Private Roleplay with Leeprower1012) (Trisell)

Introduction
A chameleon girl arrived via warp ring into the Mobius zone 4281 called "Tolk". She was in one of the Mebetros cities: an island of sorts very much like the state of New York. The city appeared to be pulled from just ahead of the 21st Century, with rare futuristic or technologically-advanced sections such as some holographic screens about the sidewalks showing ads and such.

She was nearby the local high school, and for the moment, nothing appeared to be going wrong.

Roleplay Start
Vane looked around, still getting used to this odd city and it's inhabitants.

(I'll reply in-character as soon as I can.  Drawing what Jensen's normal mobian appearance is.)

The inhabitance were mostly mobian, save the rare human or overlander. Bears, lizards, and meerkats were the most prominent. Vane was close enough to the basketball court for a greeting or two as the students bounced the ball about.

She watched the various groups play their game, wondering who had sent her the warp ring that'd brought her here.

One of the teenagers seemed to be approaching her from the other side of the fence: some hybrid it seemed of a gazelle and a lynx. He gave a short wave, and wore a grey undershirt, a pale blue t-shirt on top, and pale tan jeans.

Vane waved back, then looked at her hand, seeing friendliness wasn't something she usually displayed.

"Are you from a different world?" The teenager asked.

"Umm... Yes." Vane answered, even more confused at this situation which made less and less sense as it continued. "How does he know that?" She thought to herself.

"Had a feeling what with the glowing yellow light and then you just appearing there," He nodded whilst stepping out of the basketball area.

"I suppose that'd be.... Abnormal?" She replied.

"You seem a bit lost," He theorized. "What are you looking for?"

"Em... A warp ring?" She asked "Sorry, what is this place?"

"Uh, the school or the city?"

Vane laughed slightly. "The city first, then the school."

"Kary Fritz, and Kary Fritz High."

"Hmm. Umm... I'm Vane." She said, finally introducing herself.

"Jensen," He extended his hand to shake.

Vane shook his hand.

"So you're looking for a way back  home then?"

"That would be preferable." She replied, slightly ashamed at the fact she was admittedly asking to get away from this kind stranger.

"Well I'm not really sure how we'd go about that," He admitted, "but you said something about a warp ring? What's that look like?"

"Imagine a golden ring about six to seven feet tall." She said. "Sometimes they can take you from one place to another, other times across worlds."

"And the one that brought you here just vanished?"

"They tend to do after a use. Jeez! Why did I try to use a random potential dimensional portal!" She shouted, kicking the asphalt.

"I take it you're in a rush to get back, huh?" Jensen took a smell step back from the kicking.

"Yeah....sorta." She laughed in a way that showed her shame. "But I...wouldn't be against you showing me around?"

He paused at this, mouth gaping just a tad before he composed himself again. "Uh- sure!  Do... are you hungry?"

"Some food would be nice, if that's what you're asking."

"Alright, there's a pizza place a few blocks down.  Everyone's out of school so the cafeteria won't be open.  You like pizza?" He started down the street.

"Yes. it is more contemporary than what I usually eat, though." Vane said, Following him.

"Contemporary?" He half-chuckled as they walked. "How do you mean?"

"I eat a lot more noodles and things of the sort where I live." She answered. "I never really had any pizza till I went to Mobotropolis city."

"Well cool to know everyone on your world eats the same stuff as us," He chuckled. Vane could see the pizzeria ahead of them, but they were interrupted when the ground suddenly shook. A boom from the far left and screams sounding.

Vane spun to face the sound, gripping her katana but not pulling them out.

"Great..." Jensen sighed, turning to Vane. "Uh, this... happens a lot- I'll be right back," He started to run down the steet toward the booming.

Vane watched Jensen run towards the source of the excitement, then rushed after him.

Jensen didn't seem to notice Vane running after at first as they turned a corner to show a giant cement-looking monster. He was thirty feet in height with a bulking physique and tendrils on the sides of his back.

The chameleon groaned in disgust at the hideous monster.

It was at this point that Jensen noticed Vane had followed. "W- hey, this uh..." and he immediately ran out of anything to say to ward her off considering his own... being there. "So you ever fight something like this?"

"Not quite this size, they're usually smaller." She answered.

"Yeah, this is... Cementor..."

The creature roared at the two, considering they were the only ones in the area at the moment not in a building. And on that note, Jensen was now swiftly entering one.

Vane ran after him. "Cementor? That sounds like a villain from some cheesy video game."

"Not too far off," Jensen called back, looking back and forth. He stopped at two hallways. "Alright... uh... you go right I'll go left?  The place isn't empty."

She went in the direction she'd been told to.

Jensen ran the other way, and as assumed, there were people on the opposite end of the building trying to climb out the window before the monster crashed against the building.

Vane was running down the hall, when several people shoved past her, heading to the far side of the building.

A sudden blast sound came from the roof as the ceiling started to crack, people dropping to the ground in panic.

The Chameleon opened a portal above everyone's heads, hoping to move some of the rubble outside.

Some of the people looked over to her, gaping in silence. The building was shaking, and outside the windows they could see dripping cement falling down.

"WhatdoIdo?whatdoIdo?" Vane repeated in panic.

The building was starting to crumble a bit but then the cement stopped pouring, a loud crack coming from outside. The people were still trapped, however.

She whimpered, scared of what was happening.

A white-suited hand reached in from the window, forming a strange-looking slide to the exit. "Everybody out!" A voice called.

Vane looked at the ceiling, then at the slide-hand. "You heard it, people!" Moving the group to the exit.

People started rushing through the window at once, getting in each others way.

"Jeez! Single file, people!" She shouted in anger mixed with her panic.

"Hey is that a portal?" The voice asked.

"Don't worry about it!" She replied. "Single file!" She said to the civilians.

"Can you make one of those that go to the sidewalk?" The voice asked.

"Bad things happen when other people try to go through!" She stated.

"Okay, just get them through the hole okay then."

"Got it." She said, continuing to move the group.

The people eventually got outside, with Vane being the only one left now. "Alright, your turn!" The voice called.

Vane jumped into her portal, appearing outside.

A white-suited figure with pink highlights on his suit, wearing a hood with black and green stripes at the back swung around, knocking the cement monster away from the building overhead.

"This keeps getting weirder." Vane said.

The hooded fellow drew the cement monster further away, shooting small bolts of energy into him from above before burrowing inside.

Vane pulled her katana free, opening a portal to the hole in the monster. "Do you need help?"

A hole opened up in the monster's chest. "Uh- yeah, go for it," He called out before the hole closed again.

She did a spinning move, slashing repeatedly at the monster.

The Cementor hardened after a few slashes, trying to strap her arm in the cement in the process. Its head blew off suddenly, flying upward as the hooded figure popped out.

She tried breaking her katana from the Cementor's skin, since it seemed defeated.

The cement was still hardened, though depending on her strength, perhaps she could free it. The hooded figure seemed to be trying to pull someting out from the body: a glowing orb with wires attached. The body began moving again, however, closing up at the top.

Vane pulled a blade handle out at her left glove, releasing her normal katana whilst the handle surged out a glowing blade, and she began hacking her swords out.

The cement cracked open. She could see the glowing inside the monster swimming about, nearing the lower section.

"What the?!" She shouted in surprise.

"Stab the glowing part!" The hooded guy called from inside.

Vane thrust her blade into the orb, curious what it was.

Her blade stabbed through the cement and hit the orb. The hole suddenly widened from her blade's strike, the hooded man jumped outward, dragging the orb out with him. The cords were still holding on to it however, and swiftly he called out "Cut off the cords!"

She lept forward, severing the rope-like strands.

Sparks went off as the orb was ripped free of the cords. The cement around began to instantly liquify. The white-suited man dropped the orb behind himself before quickly stretching his arms around the cement to block it from covering the area.

She opened a portal, moving herself out of that slime's way.

The white-suited skinny figure teleported behind her suddenly with a "You did pretty good out there."



"Thanks?" Vane answered.

"See you around," He gave a little salute motion before picking up the orb and rushing off as the container holding the cement flickered away.

She scratched her head, then began digging through the slime, looking for her katana.

it wasn't hard to locate in the liquid cemente. Soon enough, the door from the building opened up, with Jensen looking about before focusing in on her location. "There you went."

"Where'd you go? She asked him "There was this guy that just kicked the things butt."

"Where did you go?" He asked back. "I was getting people out of the building.  Wait, what guy?"

"He was white, had a hood... That's all I can remember, it was kind of a blur." She answered. "You OK?"

"Yeah, the building shook a bit but the side I was on didn't reall- oh the police are here now," he gestured to the far back behind her.

"Then it's probabaly time to go." She said, turning to run.

Jensen nodded, running toward a nearby alley crossover to the next block.

She followed him into the alley.

They made a few turns about the area. They must had gone about a half mile before stopping finally.

"So... Where to now?" She asked.

"Well," Jensen panted a bit before answering "Do you still want to try for the pizza?  That is if the police don't find us and wonder what that was."

She sat down on the ground. "Sure? It's probably not too bad an idea."

"Cool- uh, do you need a minute to catch your breath?"

She quickly stood back up. "No, I'm good, sorry."

"No problem.  It's still close by thankfully," He smiled before gesturing over as he jogged onward.

Vane smiled before following him.

Now they were finally at the place. The tomato sauce could be smelled easily as they walked inside. It was somewhat small but tables and chairs were seen outside and inside. The menu was at the front counter with a few uniformed young adults behind it.

"Oh, gosh. I'm sorry, I.. Um.. Don't have any money.." She apologized.

Jensen chuckled slightly. "It's fine, I was planning to pay anyway.  Didn't really expect someone from a different world to pay for stuff.  Anyway, what do you want to get?"

"Just some pineapple, please." Vane answered.

"Alright, I'll get a half-and-half," He nodded. "Guess you don't subscribe to the whole 'Evil Pizza' idea, huh?" He pulled out his wallet.

"No, I guess not. Thanks, by the way." The Chameleon replied.

Jensen nodded as he ordered the food before walking over to a table: brushing off some crumbs as he pulled out a seat for her.

"Oh! thank you." She said, setting her sheaths on the ground.

"So you go into warrior stuff a lot?"

"Sometimes, I am a ninja, after all."

"Oh... coool.  Do you have the whole outfit?"

"Yeah, the mask isn't too comfortable, though, so I leave it behind a lot of times." She answered.

"Have you had to kill anybody yet?"

She shrugged. "No, I've managed to avoid that, which isn't to say I haven't seen someone die."

"Right... sorry."

Vane looked around, waiting either for the food or something to happen.

"It'll be a bit," Jensen informed. "They should have it ready in about five minutes though.  In the meantime, is there anything you want to know about this world maybe?"

"Umm.. Maybe what year it is?" She asked.

"3241," He answered. "Not sure if tht means anything though."

"This world isn't too far ahead of mine, but seems a lot more.... Futuristic." She said.
