DE: Throwback Friday

[bjornwilde]

 Stealing a topic from years ago, originally presented by gone_byebye :

Your character opens the door to leave Milliways only to find out that, for whatever reason, it doesn't open onto their world but instead dumps them into someone else's for a time. Kind of like the Stone Angels plot from a few years back only no angels involved. Where do they end up and how long do you imagine they last before either escaping to Milliways or deciding 'ooh, mama/papa/mitotic or other parent of indeterminate sex/gender like'?

For some reason, I can't shake the idea of Autor ending up in Ellen's world and getting eaten by the first creature he sees.

[bjornwilde]

And in my head it is a suspiciously innocent looking thing, like a bunny.

[herr_bookman]

Oh, goodness. That would be fitting.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

That can be arranged! With as near of a miss from the creature in question as you like.

[herr_bookman]

*grins* He'd be traumatized - but that's never stopped me before.

It would be interesting for Selina to end up in Jay's world, or any of the DC comic-verses we have represented. I think she'd adapt pretty quickly and do well enough. Girl is a survivor.

Quinlan would adapt to just about any world as well, though he would never stop looking for a way back. I think a world where he had to not be jedi-like would be the hardest for him to adapt to.

Ethan is another survivor but I think Ellen's world would seriously mess with his perceptions of the world. I need to dust him off and bring him in.

Tybalt would have a hard time in any high tech world that used lots of iron. He has enough trouble with our world's technology. Cars are not his thing. To be fair, he was born centuries before the internal combustion engine and cars have claimed far too many of his subjects.

Andrea would adapt pretty well also. She had fun in Ellen's world if that is any indication.

Hank McCoy (whom I actually have an answer for this time) would likely do very well to see the Marvel Comics X-verse and the affect his counterpart has had on the world.

I can totally see Jay ending up in Cat's world and bailing her out after the GCPD caught up with her. And accidentally calling Jim Gordon Commissioner.

If she ended up in Jay's world, he'd make sure she was set up and meeting the right people to make sure she survived and prospered.

[bjornwilde]

Or bumping into wee Bruce and Alfred.

And now I'm kind of picturing wee Selina meeting grownup crime boss Selina from the recent issues of Catwoman. I'm honestly not sure what my Selina would think of herself.

[runningred]

Yeah, I can't see that going will. Although I think he'd get on well with Gotham!Alfred. I'd love to see how he deals with Fish!

No, I think Jay would make sure to keep Cat away from Sel. World shattering paradoxes and all that.

I'm not sure where my pups would end up, but I'd love to see how some of the pups from darker, grittier canons would react to being plopped down in Equestria without warning.

Amascut would, if there is no way back, promptly set to taking over or setting up monster/demon/vampire/mutant or just plain racist hunting/slaying organizations and then continue on to setting up political powderkegs all over the place. Its a bad idea to place her in a world with nukes, because nukes remind her of her dad and she misses him, I think. Longer term, she'll start scheming against whatever elder gods, greater powers, or one-above-alls that may exist. Thankfully for whatever world she gets thrown into, her corner of the multiverse gets priority, so if there is a way back, she'll take it as soon as she finds it and she'll spend at least part of her time searching for one.

Fairy Fixit would probably do well in any universe except where magic (or pure free-flowing life force as canon might be slowly revealing) is strictly verboten. In some universes she might have to go into hiding, especially if there is Final Fantasy VI style magitek present that she might be crammed into to serve as a power source. Ugh. But, she'll find some way to be useful.

And honestly, if a way back to Milliways or Zanaris doesn't present itself, she'll MacGyver her way back as one of her projects to keep herself busy, given enough time. She definitely has time; Zanaris fairies are very long lived.

Yugo would last a pretty long time no matter how dangerous the world is, and he'd mostly just do what he does normally: Sell flowers and help people.

Sherral would immediately start searching for ways to utilise the world's resources in order to accrue personal power that he can take back to his own world. I'm not saying he's power hungry or anything, but I am saying we can never allow him to be within fifty feet of red lyrium.

Wan would just - do what he usually does. Befriend people. Throw fire at things. Drink tea. Try to help out. He's fairly adaptable.

[aberration]

I did do this with a character once. It ended with him communing with wolves. Anyway.

But if I were going to drop Asami somewhere, it would be some super high tech futuristic time. I've thought about what a far-in-the-future sci-fi version of the Avatarworld might look like, or it could be some other universe - unsurprisingly, given all the thematic connections Avatar has to it, I could see her easily fitting into the Star Wars-universe.

Will thinks communing with wolves sounds pretty good, tbh, so maybe I haven't changed much.

Though FYI if anyone ever wants to follow Marceline back to Ooo this is an open invitation because regardless of who it is it would be hilarious.
