What Magic Is This (Open)

[Perseus]

(May 26th. Afternoon. Perseus joining the army. Anyone's free to join it.)

A portal opened dropping Perseus onto the ground before vanishing. He stood up wearing white toga around his waist and a pair of sandals. He'd just come out of the bath and hadn't been able to put all of his clothes before he ended up here. He was confused as this didn't look like Joppa or any place he'd visited in his travels to save Andromeda and Joppa.

"Where am I?" asked Perseus.

He saw a house with people walking out of it as well as lion and a centaur. But the people wore strange clothing.

"Have you brought me here with your foul magic? If you think taming a couple of beasts makes you intimidating it doesn't. I've defeated worse than them." said Perseus.

When they spoke of the war and stopping it would return them home he could see they spoke genuinely.

"I am King Perseus of Joppa." said Perseus.

He glanced at Zykos and Sarafina as they spoke.

"My apologies I assumed too quickly. I didn't mean to offend you." said Perseus.

Xena was the first to walk out spotting the new arrival.

"We didn't ask to be brought here either. Well, the few not from this world. A war happened here pulling people from other times and universes. This is the future of a world we probably would never see in our lives. We have to end this war so we can all return home. But so far this war has lasted a few months already." said Xena.

She held out her hand to him.

"I'm Xena." said Xena.

XXXX

Zykos glared at the boy.

"No one controls me. I am a centaur. I have allied with this army but I am doing this because I chose to. Not because someone chose for me." said Zykos.

When Perseus apologized his anger was replaced with surprise. No one had ever apologized to him like this before. He smiled genuinely.

"Welcome Perseus. I am Zykos." said Zykos.

XXXX

Sarafina frowned as well.

"Zykos is right. No animal in this army is under anyone's control but their own." said Sarafina.

She nodded as the man apologized.

"Apology accepted. I am Sarafina. Welcome Perseus." said Sarafina.

XXXX

Nostalgia Chick and Grimhilde walked out next. When the others spoke and the conflict was resolved they both waved to him.

"I am Queen Grimhilde. Welcome." said Queen Grimhilde.

"And I am Nostalgia Chick one of the leaders of this army. Welcome Perseus." said Nostalgia Chick.

[Captain James Nicholls]

James and not far behind him was Linkara and Kiara, the three of them noticed a new person thanks to the slight group being formed. James made himself well known first as Chick and grimhilde both finished speaking. James gave a salute to the man and then he replied "Hello sir, welcome to our group. I am James. Please, I hope you make yourself comfortable here" He saw the man apologize to the more animalistic part of the group before nodding his head at Chick's statement.

Kiara nodded "What my grammy said, who's talking about controlling people. That's the bad guys job" She then smiled "But it's okay to make a mistake. You're probably new around here. I'm kiara. Nice to meet you new guy" She then turned to chick as she heard some voices in the distance not far from them. She turned to chick and whispered "Hey I think this guy is not the only one who is new, look!" She then looked curiously as the men showed themselves.
XXXX

Linkara turned to perseus and replied with a tip of his hat "I'm linkara. I'm one of the lead battle strategists and weapon experts here. You're probably and understandably confused. But I assure you we don't mean to cause any problems. If anything we wish to return you home as safely as possible" He then heard kiara talk to chick and turned suspiciously at the bushes nearby. He turned to chick and replied "Want me to scope them out to see they're not spies or something?" He then raised an eyebrow as a man in royal attire along with a man in a blue shirt and glasses rise from the bushes

"Roman, I really don't like this. Where are we? It's new and you know how I feel about new!" Patton, disheveled from also being portaled here along with roman. Unlike Perseus they were forced out the middle of nowwhere and left to fend for themselves. Still it was nice to take a walk where it wasn't raining. He then turned to see roman tell him that they needed to find someone with a phone or at least someone who can lead them to a place with a phone. Patton then spotted a group and they seemed a bit overwhelming. This whole situation normally would be welcome, since patton liked to meet people but since he was separated into his own person he seemed so focused on being afraid he didn't feel very cheerful. Roman seemed to feel just as anxious, without Virgil to guide them through their panic they had no reason to go forth and be open just yet. After all, thomas was no longer here and they were all seperated. So patton as much as he wished to ask for help, didn't know to trust them yet. He then nodded as roman suggested to hide for now but he beamed as Kiara showed herself and commented "Awwww, a little lion cub that's so cute! Oh my god! If I wasn't so afraid of getting attacked I'd hug her!" He then revealed himself, waving shyly as roman introduced him.
XXXX

Roman nodded as Patton expressed his concerns "I know my friend, I too am not very happy with this but don't fear for I am here. And as the now temperorary leader of this group I suggest we..." He then turned to see a large lion and as much as he liked animals himself, he knew a adult female lion was not one to screw with. He wanted to play smart but unfortunately smart meant not attacking and that was cowardly in roman's mind. But again. It was a lion. Panicking a bit, he pulled patton and replied "Hide. Hide you fool" He then saw the little lion cub spot them and a man hold a gun up. Knowing he could get himself and patton in trouble, roman rose up with his hands out in surrender "No please we are not spies. We are lost you see. Now I know this is hard to believe but I am here with my friend patton" He nodded as patton waved "I am roman, friends call me prince or, well, roman. Please. I assure you I wish only to be a friend"

[Perseus]

Perseus smiled.

"It's good to be among new friends. I miss my wife, my friends, and my people but it may take a while to return. This war sounds like it may take awhile." said Perseus.

He smiled at James.

"Hello, James. And I will try." said Perseus.

He turned to Kiara.

"I'm sorry me little one. I am new to this and I assumed the worst of you." said Perseus.

He smiled at Linkara.

"Hello, Linkara. Perhaps we can make some new strategies then. Your modern ones your enemies may be used to but not ones from our times and worlds." said Perseus.

He withdrew his sword as Linkara aimed a strange weapon as two men stepped out from some bushes.

"Innocent people don't normally hide behind bushes." said Perseus.

When Grimhilde threatened them to not try any funny business Perseus looked confused.

"What exactly about spying is funny?" asked Perseus.

XXXX

Xena sighed.

"Unfortunately that may be the case. Some have been here days, some weeks, and other months. There doesn't appear to be an end in sight. We do try to take some time off though for fun and to relax when we can." said Xena.

XXXX

Zykos saw the two humans and chuckled at Grimhilde's threats.

"The queen is right. We haven't normally tested strangers but perhaps we should in the future. So many of us have been kidnapped or tortured in one way or another. Who knows what those creeps could do to us or might have done to us. We may need regular check-ups to make sure none of us are giving information to our enemies somehow." said Zykos.

XXXX

Sarafina heard Kiara and stepped in front of her granddaughter protectively. She wasn't sure if they were friend or foe.

"Stay behind me Kiara. Perseus may be an ally but they could be enemies." said Sarafina.

XXXX

Nostalgia Chick heard Kiara and Sarafina.

"Sarafina's right. It's better to be safe than sorry." said Nostalgia Chick.

Nostalgia Chick nearly facepalmed at Perseus' confusion.

"It an expression. It means to not betray us." said Chick.

XXXX

Grimhilde raised an eyebrow spotting two more arrivals.

"You expect us to believe you? That's exactly what spies would say. Who would admit to spying?" said Grimhilde.

She paused at the others.

"I guess we've never really tested anyone else. So you are welcome to join us. But any funny business and you will regret it." said Grimhilde.

[Roman Sanders]

Roman was a bit stuck and worried as they started to question him and patton of being spies. Roman then got immediately defensive as they claimed he seemed suspicious because of hiding in a bush "Well what would you do if you were suddenly in a new place randomly with no logical explanation huh? Would you be so calm no you wouldn't! We didn't-- Okay I didn't know who you people were. If anything you could've been some group of enemies yourself, what would you have me do?! A prince needs to be cautious at all times in times of danger. And this certainly is a time of danger. We couldn't think of anything. With a giant lion right there. What if she came at us? Seriously when you see a lion what would you do? You'd hide too! Don't go accusing us of stuff when we just got here!" Roman then got criticized for his behavior by patton and reprimanded that these people had a right to be suspicious. And that bush hiding was a impulsive move and that they weren't wrong in what they said. Roman crossed his arms as patton explained things before he grumpily replied "I apologize for hiding I was not thinking. But I assure you I'm no filthy good for nothing spy. I'm a prince. Prince Roman"

Patton blushed embarrassedly as sarafina hid kiara and people started to get suspicious of them. Patton then saw roman get too defensive and he got annoyed. He softly hit roman on the shoulder and replied, very much like a shocked mother "Roman Princey The Third. What type of behavior is that?! I'm surprised at you" He then replied "These people have every right to be suspicious. We're not spies but they have a right to question us. They don't know who we are and since there's something clearly dangerous going on they don't know if we're spies or not. They are being just as careful as we were. You can't just act like they're the ones being rude when we just hid in a bush. I should've came up from the start. Don't be so rude roman honestly, behave yourself. Your behavior is uncalled for"

Patton then got out and went closer to the group and sadly replied "I'm dreadfully sorry. We didn't mean to act suspiciously. We are just lost and don't know where to go. We were in florida one minute and the next we're here. It just overwhelmed us is all" He turned to chick and Linkara and held his hand out "I'd rather be a friend to you guys. I'm Patton" He then turned to grimhilde and replied "Oh the only funny business I do is puns. Dad jokes are the only funny thing I do" He then turned to Sarafina and kiara and replied "Wait! You're disney characters" He then turned to grimhilde and replied "I knew I remembered you from somewhere? You're queen grimhilde! Oh my goodness how wonderful!"
XXXXX

Linkara turned to perseus and nodded at his suggestions "Hey if you have any ideas feel free to let me know. Maybe you can help me out with planning if you got ideas" He then put his gun down at roman and patton, and raised an eyebrow at roman "Listen I get you were nervous but hiding in a bush? You could've just said hello" He then smirked amusedly as patton reprimanded roman like a parent did with a child. He allowed patton to come over and shook Patton's hand "Hey like we said. Just no funny business and you're welcome to join us. We need all the people we can get"
XXXXX

James smiled back at Perseus before allowing him to talk to others. He then turned to roman and patton with a curious expression. He chuckled at patton's display and turned to chick "Forgive me but if they are spies they certainly not good ones since we immediately saw them. I'm inclined to believe them that they aren't. Even if they were hiding in a ridiculous place" James then allowed patton and roman to come over
XXXXX

Kiara allowed her grandmother to hide her but she couldn't help but roll her eyes at roman's behavior. She then carefully went near patton before realizing patton knew her name "Yeah I'm Kiara. Guess in your home I'm famous? That's kind of cool" She then turned to sarafina and replied "The captain guy has a point grammy, these guys suck if they were spies" She then turned to perseus and smiled "Ah it's okay. No harm no foul. Everybody gets used to this place eventually"

[Perseus]

Perseus chuckled.

"Well you got to admit you did look suspicious but I don't blame you for being nervous. You're in a strange land. But at least you have each other. My wife, my family, and friends are back in world. And probably have no idea where I am. Or that i'm alive." said Perseus.

He blinked in surprise at Grimhilde and Sarafina's threats.

"Well If I had a grandmother or mother as strong as you I know I'd appreciate it. I'm sure they do too." said Perseus.

XXXX

Xena nodded.

"I guess being in a war can make people suspicious and jumpy. But you probably would have hidden better if you were spying. Welcome aboard." said Xena.

She smiled at them.

XXXX

Zykos chuckled.

"Yes, welcome. Always glad to have more allies to our ranks." said Zykos.

XXXX

Sarafina smiled.

"I'm glad you're not spies. I guess we overreacted a little. My apologies, and welcome." said Sarafina.

She sighed.

"I'm sorry if I scared you. You only have to worry if you do turn out to be spies or traitors. Queen Grimhilde's not the only one who is protective of this army. I have a daughter and a granddaughter here. No one will ever hurt my family if I have anything to say about it." said Sarafina.

She heard Perseus's compliments and smiled.

"You flatter me, but thank you." said Sarafina.

XXXX

Grimhilde smiled.

"Yes, welcome. Although if we find out this was some clever trick and you really are spying on us then you'll find out why I was once called the Evil Queen."

Grimhilde turned to her and shrugged.

"If you say so. Better to be safe than sorry later." said Grimhilde.

XXXX

Nostalgia Chick laughed nervously at Grimhilde's threat.

"Hey, no need to threaten our new members. They're not spies." said Nostalgia Chick.

When Sarafina did it as well she sighed.

"Sorry about that. We got heroes, villains, children and more in all the armies. But our army is the only considered "good" despite that. The other two are villain armies. They have heroes in them that have been tricked, brainwashed or enslaved in one way or another." said Nostalgia Chick.

[Lucky]

(OCC: Hope no one minds if I bring lucky)

Roman nodded, satisfied as everyone finally believed he and patton weren't spies. He didn't really care about perseus' story as much as patton did but he DID care about being threatened. Roman paled a bit as grimhilde and sarafina threatened him and nodded softly "Noted. Duly noted. Know for a fact I have no ideas of being a traitor. That is the lowest a person can go" Then chick, linkara and xena all explained it was just war and spies were everywhere, it most likely was just a precaution and fear talking. Roman replied to all of them welcoming him "I do appreciate your kindness and hospitality. Fear not I will not take it for granted. I assure you I am well-armed and prepared to help you with any foes you have" He then pointed his finger up with pride and replied "For I am a prince of honor and chivalry. Let no threat or foe escape my clutches" Then he noticed lucky immediately and beamed "Oh my gosh. A puppy. The best thing to ever exist in all the land"
XXXXX

Patton turned to perseus and gasped in horror as he said he had no one, his family in a different land. Patton held his hands to his heart and shook his head sadly "Oh my goodness gracious that IS worse than anything ever. I'm so, so sorry. I can be your friend for sure if you would like!" He then turned to sarafina and replied nervously "Please don't hurt us miss lion, I would never backstab my friends. Which you are all my friends now I just decided that. You all seem like lovely people" Patton then noticed Lucky immediately and started bouncing excitedly "Ahhhh! A puppy! So so cute!" He then turned to kiara "Oh you're cute too but puppy! Ahhh!"
XXXXXX

Kiara looked up and widened her eyes as her grandmother threatened patton and roman. To kiara, sarafina was always so docile so it was shocking to see sarafina get aggressive or even mean at all. Kiara then raised an eyebrow at the queen also being threatening and kiara smirked to roman and patton "Man do I not want to be a spy anymore" She laughed a little as roman and patton got excited at lucky and smiled to patton as he once again said she was cute "It's fine. I don't wanna be cute. Let the dog be cute" She then laughed as lucky tripped to show that he wasn't cute
XXXXX

Linkara reacted to grimhilde and sarafina both threatening the two as fluff. It didn't really bother him as it did with chick. He found it fair for grimhilde and sarafina to threaten. He wanted to cut loose ends of spies and traitors. Especially since some did betray the army he was in. Linkara replied "It's all just precaution. You guys both aren't spies at all and it's clear you guys mean well. But grimhilde's right. We gotta be safe with this army. We're trying to prevent collateral damage. But hey. You're more than welcome to stay and join us, especially since you two clearly need to go home" He then turned to see lucky introduce himself and trip a little. Linkara chuckled before picking him up from his fall and helping him stand. He then replied "So you're lucky huh?"
XXXXXX

Lucky sniffed, sniffed, and sniffed. He could smell pepper and freckles' scent from here but it was faint and he had to keep finding it. He then noticed a small crowd, one filled with humans, a fantasy character and a couple lions. Lucky went over quickly, replying "Hey! Excuse me! Has anyone seen a bunch of spotted puppies nearby?" He then noticed roman and patton aw and call him cute. That got lucky's ego up really quick. He was no way cute. He was brave and heroic. And he wasn't going to let a bunch of humans call him cute. "Hey I am not cute. I'm fearless. I'm Lucky Radcliffe and I am amazing" He then tried to pounce on roman's leg but only tripped on a couple sticks. He was assisted by linkara and he replied to him "Yep. I'm lucky. That was a accident, I never do that. Do you know where my sisters or brothers are?"

[Perseus]

Perseus smiled.

"Well, that's definitely quite a welcome. I can understand being nervous or worried. But if someone was going to spy there's not much you could do. Except catching them later. Or having some kind of truth or mind-reading spell and giving it to everyone. I mean no offense but if someone was going to spy on you they'd probably already have spies here by now." said Perseus.

He turned to Patton and smiled.

"Thank you. I could always use more friends." said Perseus.

XXXX

Zykos nodded.

"I guess that makes sense. Some of us are new and barely know anyone. I've never completely trusted humans and had to work with them before. Looks like I'll have to again." said Zykos.

XXXX

Sarafina looked sheepish while Grimhilde sighed.

"I apologize for being overprotective. Our armies have used spy robots and captured some of us a few times. It wouldn't put it past me for them to use spies. But Perseus is right. If they were going to they would have already." said Grimhilde.

Sarafina nodded.

"I'm sorry too. Welcome to the army." said Sarafina.

XXXX

Nostalgia chick sighed glad things were calming down.

"Glad the excitement's over. Let's save the drama for the battlefield from now on." said Nostalgia Chick.

XXXX

Xena nodded.

"I agree. We can't be fighting each other when we're trying to win a war." said Xena.

XXXX

Freckles walked near the front door hearing voices and smelling something familiar. She then heard a familiar voice as she

"LUCKY!" shouted Freckles.

She rushed forward knocking Lucky over by accident while nuzzling him her tail wagging.

"You're here. I missed you." said Freckles.

She grinned.

"Pepper, Darla, Cadpig, and Rolly are around somewhere. Cruella and her two henchmen are in Facilier's army though so we try not to leave the house much by ourselves." said Freckles.

She paused for a moment lowering her head.

"Some of our siblings are in Ask That Guy's army." said Freckles.

[Lucky]

Linkara nodded as both sarafina and grimhilde explained the precautions while also hearing what perseus was saying. He then smiled a bit as freckles and lucky reunited, while patton and roman made themselves into the army. Linkara nodded to chick "Yeah let's not do the enemies job for them. Let them handle drama not us" He then watched some of the displays going on with a interested smile.
XXXX

Kiara smiled a bit at the siblings reuniting. She then turned to her grammy apologizing before turning to zykos. She went over to zykos with a small smile "Hey, as someone who's never seen humans before coming here, I get that humans can be weird and scary. But they can also be nice and fun. These people are friends and mean well. Most of the time anyway"
XXXXX

Roman nodded with satisfaction as they all finally let off on him being a spy. He then gushed in delight at the puppies reuniting. He replied with delight "Oh my royal behind this is so pure! I love, love, love this!" Roman then replied with a blush "Don't mind me keep talking"
XXXXXX

Patton beamed as perseus accepted his invitation to be a friend. He clapped his hands in delight "Oh goody! I love making friends! I always say the more the merrier!" He then offered his hand "I'm patton!" He then facepalmed a bit "Oh I said my name didn't I? I don't think I got yours though I'm ever so sorry!"
XXXXX

Lucky was a bit impatient seeing no one had a answer to his question yet. However, he sniffed again and smelled a familiar smell. His sister freckles. He looked up and saw her scream and pounce him in delight. He laughed nuzzling her back "Aw, it's good to see you too little sister. How've you been? I've been looking for you guys everywhere!" He felt a sense of protectiveness with all his siblings but he was protective of cadpig, rolly and freckles in particular. He smiled at her as she explained the situation "Well that's great that peps, Darla, rolly and cadpig are here thank goodness for that"

He then rolled his eyes as freckles explained Cruella was on a enemy army called facilier "Because of course that devil woman is. What a shock. Don't worry about her little sis, I'll make sure if she sets foot here she'll get a taste of spots" He then frowned immensely as freckles explained some of their siblings were on another army, ask thatguy's. That felt wrong and hurtful. And yet he wasn't angry or hateful he was just shocked and a bit hurt. He then replied nervously "Dare I ask who is on ask thatguy's side?"
