A pod hisses open, ejecting a blast of mist as the Doctor slithers out ( ... )

"Excuse me," Zouichi says, vaguely surprised by the appearance of a young man covered in alien gunk. He looks more or less human, but Zouichi can't really be sure from his readings. The important thing is that this person also looks disoriented, and perhaps knows more about the situation than he does.

"Do you need assistance?" he asks.

"Yeah, sure, could use some -- whoa," the Doctor cuts himself off as he throws out a leg to take a step forward and somehow ends up veering again into his equally slimy companion. It's been awhile since his steering has been off like this. He throws out a hand to balance himself on the other man, his hand squelching on what's probably a shoulder. "Thanks. Probably just need a few minutes, I'll be fine."

He starts to take another shaky step forward, determined to start walking, and ends up having to use the young man as a living crutch. The Doctor suddenly sticks out his hand. While he's here, he might as well get to it, "I'm the Doctor, by the way."

It's not the first time he's been bowled over by someone taller than him. Yuuno flails a bit, then crashes to the ground. He pushes himself up, rubbing his head. Great, if he didn't have a headache before, he certainly did now. He groaned, looking back.

"Are you okay?"

And here's someone who doesn't seem to have noticed she had just burst out of her pod! The strange gray-skinned, horned girl was fast asleep, and looked quite content laying in the puddle of slime that burst out of the pod when she did.

... Someone better wake her up, before she misses something.

Despite being guided along by her dog in an attempt to avoid any of the other people in the caverns, Jade never noticed Terezi.

At least, she didn't until she tripped over her.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to trip over you!"

Terezi may not have noticed falling out of her pod, but she definitely noticed that jab in her side as Jade tripped over her. So she sat up, ignoring Jade for a moment as she shook her head and caused pod-goop to fling about, and took a deep breath through her nose, trying to figure out just where she fell asleep.

... Wait a second. This definitely wasn't the asteroid she and her fellow trolls have made home.

Huh.

"Umm... are you okay?"

Jade had to make sure, she hoped that she didn't hurt... well, whoever this was! In a way, the troll girl looked like someone else she had seen before, too - at least, from what she could make out. Maybe it was the weird horns and the skin?

Hana was not happy. Far from it. Frankly, he was pretty pissed off.

Or at least, he thought he was.

Ignoring the fact he was both nude and covered in... something, he cast his gaze about in a vain attempt to locate exactly where the disembodied voice was coming from.

"But where is 'here'? Where is everyone?" As if it were going to answer now after failing to do so several times before. Of course, it didn't. And subsequently he got irritated when it didn't.

Slamming his fist into the wall he shouted. "I wanna know what's going on!"

He couldn't deny though, something inside him was stirring.

Well...that got her attention off her own unhappiness for a moment.

Shuffling a little closer she spoke up softly, "Um...dude." She pointed, "I think everyone is that way. That's where everyone keeps walking anyway."

She herself was not yet apart of that everyone. Frankly her world had been rocked for the third time in less then a day, she wasn't ready for another shake just yet.

Hana turned to look at the younger girl, then in the direction she was pointing, distrust on his face. "But what's that way?"

"I dunno." She shrugged, "Clothes maybe? Or a towel at least." She was still covering herself not that there was much to cover. "I don't hear any screaming yet."

Was that a joke? Alright it's official. She's lost her mind.

Even beyond the strange feelings, Arf's first concerns were the disgusting smell and taste around her. She immediately began to shake around a bit, trying to get off whatever the strange substance coating her was. She really needed a bath. She really really needed a bath.

But no, that wasn't what was important right now, was it?

She glanced around a bit nervously, wondering what had just happened. While she heard the voice in her head, her instinct was nearly to just disregard it. It sounded pretty ridiculous, whatever it was. She'd never even heard of anything called the Ohm before, and all that talk of being Chosen sounded like the pitch for some weird scam. She had to focus on what was more important. This definitely wasn't the Infinite Library. She didn't like this at all, whatever it was.

As Arf considered her situation, there came the tapping of a foot. Rapidly. Like, really fast.

Standing nearby? A four-foot tall blue (and annoyed) hedgehog.

"So, I'm guessing you're in the fog about all this, too, huh?" Sonic said, crossing his arms

She looked a bit startled that someone had managed to sneak up on her for a second, but she was hardly being that alert at the moment.

But she was also a bit grouchy after waking up.

"Hey, stop making that much noise! It's annoying!" she grumbled, referring to the foot tapping. In reality, it really wasn't that bad at all, the entire situation just irritated her a great deal. But as she realized she was just channeling her frustration a bit, she quickly backed down.

"Ah, sorry," she mumbled, crossing her arms a bit sheepishly. "I didn't mean to snap at you, it's just... ugh, I don't have any idea what's going on either. It really pisses me off."

Sonic's tapping ceased at once, mostly after she apologized.

"Eh, it's alright. I understand. Glad to know, though, I'm not the only one confused." he said, grinning. He held out a hand in greeting. "Th' name's Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog."

Merlin woke disoriented, not knowing - where were his clothes?! - anything about where he was or what was happening. How had he gotten here? He wasn't supposed to be here, wherever it was - he needed to be back home, at Camelot!

||You are here.||

Merlin spun around wildly at the voice. He looked wildly into the strange chamber, feeling somehow even more exposed even though there were others like him, stumbling blindly. "That doesn't tell me anything!" he yelled at the voice, still unable to place where it was coming from.

||You have been Chosen to accomplish a Great Purpose. You have been Chosen to help fight the Ohm, a race of insectoid beings that are the destroyers of worlds.||

"Chosen?! But I already have a purpose!" Merlin kept looking around anxiously. Was the Lady that was speaking invisible somewhere, watching them? Or was she using magic to speak from afar? And she said he'd been chosen - he'd already had one destiny thrust upon him. He didn't need another one. "I need to get back home ( ... )

Eventually he'll come into view of another figure about to make an up close and extremely personal encounter with the cleaning tentacles

The Doctor blocks the way to the closest set of them, his back to Merlin as he studies the vines. Are they part of the ship? Part of the crew? He's already tried talking to them but they don't seem to be responding back, so part of the ship seems much more likely. The Doctor strokes his chin, staring at the tentacles. The tentacles quiver back at him invitingly. Almost friendly, he'd say. They most certainly have that look like they just want to do their job and get him out of the way, especially with so many people coming out of those pods.

He can't say he agrees with all this stuff from Stacy about destiny or being "Chosen" (whatever that is supposed to mean). Strangely enough these "Ohm" don't register for him either. A race he's never heard of. It happens. Not often these days, but it happens. He'd very much like to get a better look at this ship, not to mention the Ohm. But those cleaning ( ... )
