When people run in circles it's a very, very Mad World

“IwanttofindmyfriendsIwanttofindmyfriendsIwanttofindmyfriends.”
Billy chanted as he walked through the eerie, gloomy forest. He actually wanted a lot more than that, but finding someone… finding Teddy… would be a great start.

Gert heard another voice and yelled "Marco!" hoping the other voices would get the joke and also hone in on the location of her voice.

Cassie was about to yell "Polo" in response when she stumbled into view of the purple haired girl. "Hi."

The girl looked familiar. Actually she looked like one of the runaway kids of the Pride.

[arsenic_witch]

"Hey" Gert made a small wave that was neither particularly friendly or cold.

"Your good at this game, I'm Gert. You seen a dinosaur around?"

[billykaplan]

"Would this dinosaur of yours," Billy asked, loudly enough for the two girls to hear him, "be something resembling a raptor, with brown skin and kind of bluish stripes?"

He took a few steps back as the creature in question sniffed at him.

[arsenic_witch]

Gert yelled back "Its a Deinonychus and yes! Come here girl!"

Old Lace spirted past Billy toward's Gert voice. Old Lace ran up to Gert and licked her farce. Gert removed the saliva from her face and gentely storked Lace's neck and the dinosaur gave a low growl of pleasure.

"Everyone this is my dinosaur Old Lace, Old Lace this is everyone. Anybody got an idea where we are? Or could you mind telling me who you people are?"

[billykaplan]

Billy followed the trail Old Lace left behind, finally catching up to the two girls at the deinoychus. "I haven't got a clue as to where or how we got here, but when I flew up, it looked like this place was inside some kind of dome. Might be a Mojo thing, or one of Arcade's Murder Worlds, but why either one would take us, what with both being traditionally foes of the X-Men..." he shrugged. "I'm Wiccan."

[arsenic_witch]

"I'm Gert.....and I have no idea who any of those people you just mentioned are. Well expect for the X-Men. Maybe some big evil multi-national corpration kidnapped us?"

[billykaplan]

"Which begs the quesiton of 'why would they do that', though it isn't a possibility to be ruled out... we could be dealing with something like Landu, Luckman, and Lake..." Billy said. "At least with Mojo, there's a pretty clear motive. Ratings for his interdimensional reality shows. Arcade's a hired gun, but I don't think the team I'm on has pissed off anyone who could afford to hire him, unless the Trapster suddenly came into a lot of money."

[arsenic_witch]

"I really don't remember the names of people our group fights. Descriptions seem to work fine, unless there is more then one Nazi scientist made out of bees these days"

[billykaplan]

"The Swarm?" Billy asked, slipping into fanboy mode a moment. "You've fought the Swarm? Cool." He shook himself out, then sniffed the air. "...do you guys smell something?"

[arsenic_witch]

"Yeah real cool" Gert spoke with an obvious amount of sarcasm. Wiccan reminded Gert of an Nordirc verison Victor, and she vaugely wondered if he was a robot.

"Not really. But I am from LA so smog has pretty much destroyed my sense of smell"

[billykaplan]

Billy ignored Gert's sarcasm, brushing it off with the skill of someone who'd heard the same tone often enough that it just didn't register anymore. He sniffed the air, wrinkling his nose. "Something smells like... rotting meat," he said, gagging a little as a strong wave of the stench rolled over him.

[arsenic_witch]

"Uggh it just hit me. I guess we should follow the smell to see what died."

[billykaplan]

Billy opened his mouth to say something, but ended up gagging so badly he bent over nearly double. When he straightened again, he caught sight of what was lurking in the shadows of the trees, giving off the stench. "I don't think we need to!" he announced, backing away from the shambling thing quickly as it shuffled forward.

[arsenic_witch]

Gert followed Wiccan's lead and backed away from the aparent zombie. Old Lace's let out a mean roar and hunched forward sensing Gert's anxiety

Gert spoke with an a whipsered hush with a mix of fear and humor "So Wiccan, if you have magical powers to control the undead this would be a great time to use them"

[magnetlips]

Cassie grew when she saw the zombies. "As long as I don't let them bite me, I'll be alright, right B- Wiccan?" She sucked at the code names too and until Wiccan figured out some spell to help them it looked like she and maybe the dinosaur would be the main line of defense.
