EARTH 24*(&A$%7HGKPOI

WHO: All transdimensional imPorts.
WHERE: The town of Capers.
WHEN: October 24th, noon, to October 29th, noon.
WARNINGS: Probably violence, but alert me if something else evolves and I can update this.
SUMMARY: Lachesis pulls a group of Cityverse imPorts into another world adventure -- here be the wilds of the west, and dinosaurs!
FORMAT: As you please!



You arrive at the town of Capers from one split second to the next -- from the asphalt and concrete of the City to the dusty and earthen dirt of this wildwood space. The sun is hot and the sky is streaked with thin clouds. The landscape of the town is sparse, utilitarian; you'll find saloons and dance halls, quarries and fenced corrals, the local gaol and the hanging scaffold, the shops and medical facilities (barbershop included). In fact, the logwood architecture of the buildings direct into those four major categories, and the structure of the town forms something circular, much like a compass. You might have been ported in at any of these places, as Lachesis would have delivered you at random.

The sun in the sky burns a golden yellow, peering down at you like some celestial eyeball. Almost feels like it's watching you.

You're wearing your clothes and you've got your communicator on you, but that's about it. You can still contact the Network, but you cannot leave this world. And since you look like such an outsider, it takes only a few moments for you to be ushered by local Samaritans to the Capers Town Hall. There, in his white suit and black belt, stands Mayor Eisner -- and he greets you warmly. He tells you that Capers is used to extradimensional pioneers, and he's happy to invite you into his town. But for a town like his to survive at this unilateral crossroads, certain customs must be observed -- you understand, there's a method of expectation that enables order. You might catch glimpses of other imPorts filing in, being escorted by the kindly souls they came across. Mayor Eisner asks you your name and your favorite color. He asks you if you're a spiritual individual, or more secular. He asks you about the first animal that comes into your mind.

Then he ponders your face for a moment.

Then, with a strong and genuine pat on your shoulder, he tells you who you are, in his town of Capers.

You are free to reject or accept the role, but that all comes with respective consequences.

Welcome to Capers, hero.

Spider-Man waves, trying to get her attention from the nearest rooftop. He's perched lightly on the slope; two women and a child are sitting on the peak, secured in place with a safety web-rope across their laps. The sour expressions of the women suggest they'd prefer to take their chances with gravity, but the little girl is thrilled, taking full advantage of the support to lean out and observe the chaos below.

"Yo! Peej! What do you see up there?"

"Spider-man?" she cocks her head to get a better look at him. "Besides the obvious?" she calls out and looks back down at the stampede, unable to fully believe she nearly got struck by living dinosaurs storming through the quiet town.

"I doubt the Porter wants us to play round 'em up with dinosaurs, though!"
incywincyhero: (spidey: good plan)

He cups his hands around his mouth, the better to project. "Hey, if you think you know what the Porter wants about anything, you know better than me!" He pauses, obviously about to say more, then drops his hands and waves her in closer instead.

When she's near enough that he thinks he can speak without shouting, he continues, "Can you give me a lift? It'd be easier to throw web-nets from up above. I can't web-sling here. I could hop, but I think your way'd be quicker."
boobwindow: (heh... i made a funny)

In about half a second she's beside him in the air and offering gloved hand for him to take.

"Just hold on tight," she says. She would also advise him to keep his hands in the appropriate places, but he doesn't seem like such a bad guy who would forget his manners.
incywincyhero: (spidey: eureka!)

"Just promise you won't armpit me, 'cause I hate that," Spidey says, about to take her hand. "Actually, hang on--"

In seconds he'd spun himself a little harness, like a backpack without a pack, and turned so that she could grab the handles. They were long enough for her to carry both in one hand, if she so chose.

"Does this work? We'll be more maneuverable this way."
boobwindow: (see you in the dcnu!)

"You're a regular MacGuyver, aren't you?" She had been so close to insisting she didn't smell and Spider-man had nothing to worry about should she armpit him.

From experience however, most men didn't enjoy being carried by her if they didn't know her well enough. Or they were Ted.

"I got it," she grabbed hold of both handles and pulled upwards.
incywincyhero: (spidey: leap into the unknown)

"Right." Spidey checked his cartridges. He'd restocked both his web-shooters and belt the day before arrival, but since they'd probably be here at least a few days he needed to make his limited supply last. Web-nets were high-volume, but if he aimed carefully, he should be able to make it work.

He gestured at the ground beneath, where the main group of dinosaurs had passed, save for a few of the older, younger, or sickly animals lumbering along. "These guys aren't really doing much -- we should try and catch up with the main group."
boobwindow: (why am i in this issue)

"Going to try and play round 'em up with dinosaurs?" She made a face peering down below at the other dinosaurs. Everywhere she looked, it was dinosaurs in the place of everyday animals that should have existed in this time.

"How did they even survive the climate changes in this world?" she wondered aloud to herself and sped up then, trying to get ahead of the stampede not too far up from them.
