The Best Thing Since World War Three

[Deleted]

| Open || Introductions and the Like |

While just about anything was better than literally being in Hell, it stood to reason Mok Swagger, a man who thought quite highly of himself, would not be satisfied to subsist as an animal for long.  It was tempting to try and fall back into his previous life of fame when he found himself freed, but instead he chose to hang back.  Mok believed he was quite clever for doing so.  Many self pats on the back were had upon his swift realization of his real situation: that he wasn't home but in some other dimension.  The part of Mok that fancied himself a scientist was fascinated.  Upon realization of the war, the part of Mok that actually knew his limitations held him back.  It was a very difficult thing for him to do, but he managed to lay low and get to know his situation for about a week and a half.  During that time, the old rock star kept to the woods because it was easy to hide.  He supposed he had to thank some ancient cat ancestor for the instants that took over, but a diet of berries and maybe the odd rodent wasn't appropriate for someone of his status.

Prepared to live like a man again, he stepped into the open.  Mok was nothing if not a master of presentation, so he was quite confident in his posture despite looking a little worse for wear due to his time in the forest.  He moved with slow, loping strides, his eyes tracking upward as he observed the building before him.  A brow quirked as he gave a conceited grin.  How quaint.  There was a creaking chuckle from his nose as he removed one of his arms from behind his back.  So far as he could gather, all that was needed to be brought into any given faction was simply to show up and express interest.  Still with his smug smile, he brought his frail knuckles to the door and rapped on it trice.

[Prince Phillip]

Phillip had stumbled onto the house in confusion. The last thing he remembered was Aurora had disappeared. They'd asked for help from the three good fairies who had also disappeared. And then he'd wound up here. Perhaps they were all here. He wondered if this was one of Maleficent's tricks. She might be gone but she could have left some trap in her palace he might have activated without knowing.

He saw a man walking to the huge house that was almost as big as a castle. A lord or a duke must live here. He walked up to the man and smiled.

"I'm new here. I still am not sure how I got here." said Phillip.

When the door opened he smiled at them.

"Thank you for your hospitality. Have you heard of my wife Aurora? She might also be going by Briar Rose." said Phillip.

Eleanor heard voices and a knock on the door. She opened it spotting a couple new arrivals. She did love playing hostess and since it wasn't her home she did have less to do. But she did like to keep the place as neat as she could.

"Hello. I am Lady Tremaine. Do come in. You are most welcome to join us." said Eleanor.

She smiled as Lucas joined them. He would make a fine addition to her family. He was a bit devios and he'd seen the jewelry he'd given to her daughter. When he answered one of the guest's questions she nodded.

"Yes. I think Lucas is right. Perhaps you'll see herself eventually. This place is big but there's not many of us here yet." said Eleanor.

Lucas walked out seeing his future mother-in-law welcoming new people. Drizella was quite fun and he enjoyed getting her expensive things. Sure he stole them from people but it was their fault for wearing expensive jewelry out in public anyway. And thanks to a little magic he'd "borrowed" from Facilier's army before leaving he made it hard for people to remember who robbed them. He wasn't starting to run out of potions though so he might have to get more creative. He smiled at the group.

"Hello. I'm Lucas Luthor. Welcome to the army." said Lucas.

He paused at Phillip's words.

"I think we have an Aurora here but I'm not sure if it's your wife." said Lucas.

[Spongebob Squarepants]

Spongebob couldn't help but be extra curious about new arrivals. He noticed Mok more than Phillip, as quite a few people already greeted him. Including Aurora herself. So, Spongebob decided to meet with the eccentric looking creature. He adjusted his water necklace cheerfully, walking to Mok joyfully "Hey there!" Spongebob offered his hand for Mok to shake "I'm Spongebob! You must be new! I haven't seen you around! What's your name?" Spongebob hoped his cheerfulness would rub off on him. He didn't mind how odd this person looked. To the sponge, everyone was a friend if you tried hard enough.

Aurora heard voices mention her repeatedly and felt compelled to come down. She asked, curiously "Did someone say my name?" Aurora looked around, seeing her husband, and widened her eyes in relief and joy. Aurora rushed over to the group, turning to Philip with evident joy in her eyes. She embraced Philip tightly, replying cheerfully "Philip! Philip you're here!" Aurora turned to the others with relief "Everyone, this is my husband that I was talking about!" Aurora rushed Philip in, too excited to compose herself "Oh darling, it's such a joy to see you again! I was so worried!"

Melissa curiously poked out to see the commotion, she also noticed a tall, slightly overweight red-headed cowboy walking over to the door. Melissa turned to him, smiling graciously "Hey there, friend, you need a helping hand?" Melissa listened as the man introduced himself as Slim and she chuckled "Yeah, I get that a lot. We have talking animals and all kinds of people. We classify ourselves as our own special club. You're welcome to stay if you need to" Melissa cocked her head to the rest "We're a small army, it's a long story, best you come inside. I'm Melissa, and you are?"

Slim was a bit grateful for the change of pace but it didn't make it any less confusing. He avoided the city like a plague, worried he was still wanted for his crimes. To his shock, anyone he came across didn't know his name let alone his crimes. He had avoided many houses as too many people were aggressively welcoming. This mansion seemed the most normal to him and despite the weird creatures, he didn't mind this place. Slim looked around and turned to hear a duck talk to him. He widened his eyes "Well hush my mouth, I ain't never seen a talking duck" He listened to her then nodded, realizing he really did need a place to stay "Yeah, if you could squeeze me in that would make my day" He followed her and tipped his hat "Howdy, the name is Alameda Slim, friends call me Slim" He looked to the small group, noticing Aurora introduce her husband excitedly and chuckled "Looks like I'm not the only new one here"
