Welcome to Day 5 of Hope’s End! This is where guest writers can have their characters post to the network. These posts will be handled the same way as any other post to the network, but we'll keep them grouped together for everyone's sanity.

All guest characters arrived in Hope’s End with a communicator that resembles a Blackberry. These have text,

[The feed clicks on to show a pair of heads of black and red close together on a bed, the red shifting and slowly lifting their head. It's one of those Lavi look-a-likes. He sits up, pulling the blankets down and revealing a slightly scarred chest.]

Wonder what time it is... [Looking at his bedmate.] Flower? [Nudge] Flower, what time is it?

[There's a bit of protesting groan before one of the Kanda look-a-likes sits up a little, hair falling from his shoulders and showing a tattooed back - tribal lotus between the shoulder blades - to the feed.]

I don't know, what did you do with your phone?

I'm not sure. Think I left it in my jeans.

[He shifts out from under the blankets but all the feed catches is a bit of bare hip before he ducks down and the rustling of clothing is heard.]

Where's yours?

It's on the dresser. [Sitting up fully, revealing that he is definitely half-nude, and definitely doesn't have any tattoos or markings on his chest like other Kandas. Kanda brushes his hair out of his face before moving to lay on the bed on

in person forever!

[resiststeasing]

I told you I was cold. [Wrapping the sheet around his shoulders before sitting back up.]

/o/

[teasedtoohard]

I could've started a fire, you know. [Walking over to and pressing his nose to Kanda's temple.]

\o\

[resiststeasing]

[Leaning into.] That would've taken too long.

[Joker's blinking curiously at the faciliberry, scratching his chin with overexaggerated confusion]

Well, not to seem like the guy who hasn't got a clue what's going on, but I don't suppose anyone could fill me in on who's been working on a wild west laser? I mean, it's a brilliant plan and all, but you could have at least announced it and cackled a little bit, give me a break here.

HellooOOoooooooo? This thing's on, right, is that the...on button there? [he turns it upside down, his image spinning dizzyingly] Harley sweetie, you in here? Have you figured out the-

Oh, who am I kidding. Of course you haven't. Now get over here and let's see if we can make a bomb out of this.

[minx_of_disco]

Joker?

[You don't look like the Joker, but at the same time, you do. :| ]

[gotthesescars]

The one and only, ma'am. [He grins, and bows, though it's not his usual ironic gesture. There's something different about him, a genuine pride and maybe even gratefulness]

A fan of my work?

[minx_of_disco]

Not exactly, sweetie. I'm not sure how much you know about this place, but you're not the 'one and only' now.

You--perhaps another you from a different universe, but I'm not sure--are an ex-patient of mine. [Ex because she quit trying to rehabilitate you after you brainwashed one of her friends into massacring people and gloated about it. :| ]

[Are you guys ready for another lusus? No? Well, too bad, because sometime late at night there's a pure white dragon flying around overhead, darting around rather happily and excitedly. She can be seen rather easily, since her white hide stands out rather well, but of course the dragon doesn't know that- she's blind, remember? It's just fun to not be stuck in that egg any more!]

[palapplemino]

[Holy mother of pearl.]

[bl1nddr4gon]

[The dragon has absolutely no idea what this strange orange thing is, but she smells so interesting! She flies down to investigate, flying around right above Applejack's head and sniffing the whole time.]

[AJ stumbles back in shock when it comes closer, holy moley.]

W-Whoa there, Mister or Missus Dragon-- I-I really don'think you wanna eat me. Ponies ain't that tasty, really!

[well gosh, it sure makes sense that Maka, supposedly one of Facility's long time residents, would be standing around without a clue in the world, trying to make heads or tails of this crazy device-majigger that everyone around these parts uses to communicate with everyone. right?

right.

because that's definitely what's happening right now.]

Ugh, come on. ... Forget it, maybe this thing is completely useless after all.

[togana_keiri]

[Even though she was staying with Vriska, Maka still left on her own from time to time to explore the area. She remembered the last time this had happened, and as much as she tried not to care, she was worried about anyone potentially arriving from her world and not knowing what was going on.

But even though she'd known this was a possibility having run into the same situation the last time, she still wasn't expecting to run into a copy of herself.

Well. This was awkward...She stood from her spot a few feet away, peering at her duplicate and trying to figure out how to approach...this. After about a minute, she simply walked up and gave an awkward half wave.]

Uh...hi. Are you the one from the ship?

[skirtindanger]

[and Maka definitely wasn't expecting to run into a copy of herself, either]

...

[not that it hadn't happened before. it just, y'know, wasn't in some weird crazy desert wherever the hell this was]

Um... W, wait, is this sort of thing really happening all over again...?

I am laughing so hard at you

[togana_keiri]

[She relaxes a little at knowing this is the same Maka as the one she met previously.]

You remember this happening last time too?
