[ Action, 627 Topper ]

[ Uh yeah, so Steve is waking up next to a drone for the first time and falls out of bed because hey, wasn't he in 2012 a second ago? And wasn't he, you know, taller? He's going to do the right thing this time, which is not freak out and tear a hole through the wall, probably because it would kill him to do so.

Instead, he will walk downstairs and snoop around and-- there's a picture of him on the wall, smiling, with his 'wife' and two kids.

He sees a rotary dial on the phone and he picks up to call numbers he remembers from 2012. And then numbers he remembers from 1943. And then zero. And then hangs up and goes to rifle through anything he can find in the shoeboxes of the downstairs closet to tell him where he is and why he's there.

Have fun waking up to your new dad sifting through files all over the kitchen table. ]

[ Action, around town ]

[ He doesn't believe this for a second. But this isn't just any sort of thing; he's small again. Someone's trying to make him forget. So he walks around town, because the one thing he needs right now is to get out of town. ]

Excuse me. Do you know the way to the train station?

'Town' because neighbors don't go in peoples houses dATS CREEPY

[originalnumber]

A VOICE FROM BEHIND-!

"Unfortunately, if there is one, it is likely not functioning."

Oh hello blue guy. If he's not taller than you, he's probably hovering to be at eye level.

However, at your current size Steve? You're probably his height without the hair.

lmao idk steve thinks he's in someone else's house...

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ He turns around quickly, and-- okay, if someone's trying to pull the wool over his eyes, they need to do better research on 1950s America. ]

Uh.

Are you... from here, then?

[action ; around town]

[littleredwolf]

I beg your pardon, ser, but I've never heard of any such thing.

Re: [action ; around town]

[pursuitofcappiness]

...Are there buses, maybe?

[action; around town]

[allwehad]

[Margot is on her way out of the comics shop when she's stopped by the question. The look she gives him is pitying.]

No. Sorry. There's not even a train station here; if there were, I'd be on the first one out.

Re: [action; around town]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Have you... been here long?

Around town

[theverymodel]

Outward transit unavailable. Very peculiar.

Re: Around town

[pursuitofcappiness]

...So we have to walk to leave?

Around town.

[heartisabattleground]

[Hey, you just stumbled into Sora swinging around his keyblade. When the man asks him the question, he slings it over his shoulder.]

You mean from Twilight Town? Nope, there's none here.

Re: Around town.

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ He holds up his hands when Sora does that, puts them down when he sees Sora's not going to harm him-- but uh, what a weird... stick... ]

Er, really, any train station will do-- how do people leave the town?

Around town

[redwhiteandhero]

No train station, buddy. They got us stuck in this place somehow; you're not gonna get out that easy.

Re: Around town

[pursuitofcappiness]

Why... don't they want us to leave?

action;

[companioning]

[Inara blinks, looking slightly confused.] I'm sorry, I wasn't even aware this town had one.

Re: action;

[pursuitofcappiness]

I... guess it doesn't. I just assumed it might. Do you know what the next town over is?

[ action ] hello I'm a horrible person

[spellbent]

[ Warren turns around, actually looking over Steve's head a moment before he realizes he needs to look down ]

There isn't one.

[ action ] HAHAHAA

[pursuitofcappiness]

--You. What does HYDRA have to do with this?

action!

[soulless_soldier]

[The person he's stopped is a short tomboy with a flat expression, who shakes her head.]

There ain't one. Lemme guess - ya just woke up here?

Re: action!

[pursuitofcappiness]

I did. Does this happen a lot?

[action: around town]

[wolfishsurvivalist]

Train station?

[Her wolf ears twitch, her head cocking as she turns to look at Steve. For a moment she seems completely frozen in surprise, then her tail wags as she relaxes. She pats the front of her nurse's gown before shaking her head, looking stumped as she leans on her cane.]

I don't think there is one, I'm sorry.

Re: [action: around town]

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ Nods ]

Thanks for your help.

around town

[snacklist]

[Because the best thing for someone new here, would be to see an eight foot tall suit of armour clanking down the street, right? And even better would be if that suit of armour then spoke in a prepubescent boy's voice, right? RIGHT? Today is Steve's lucky day...]

Um... no, I don't think there is a train station around here.

Re: around town

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ Good thing Steve's seen armor walking around. But not with that voice ]

...

[ CRANES HIS NECK WAY UP ]

Well, thanks anyway, sir.

[ Sir?? ]

[bye_to_yer_head]

*Luckily for Steve his grouchy neighbor at 625 Topper street is out and about as well. And by out I mean he's in his front yard shooting arrows at his picket fence. He barely glances up at the newcomer before nocking another arrow and sending it dead center into a fence post.*

There ain't one. Far as I know anyway.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Have you been here long?

[ He assumes this guy's "trapped" here as well. ]

[Around town]

[noluckduck]

[Normally, Clover would have started by repressing her laughter at the sight of a grown-ass man with arms skinnier than hers, but the question stuns her enough to delay her utter lack of proper manners.]

... Y'know, now that ya mention it, I don't even think there's one of those in this town.

Re: [Around town]

[pursuitofcappiness]

You wouldn't happen to know how to get to the next town then, would you?

Around Town

[commie_island]

[Looks over.]

No. Because there isn't one.

Re: Around Town

[pursuitofcappiness]

Do you know if maybe there's another way out of town?

around town

[werejew]

Dude, who the fuck even uses trains anymore?

[>be the opposite of helpful]

Re: around town

[pursuitofcappiness]

...People who want to leave town?

[around town]

[godcomplexed]

[Ducking out from under the hood of a car (bumping his head along the way)]

Nope, no trainstations I'm afraid. No plane stations either. Or airports if you will. Best luck is the gas station on a roadtrip to nowhere if you want to leave time.

Re: [around town]

[pursuitofcappiness]

--Are you alright, sir?

[Around town]

[hintcoinplz]

[Luke blinks at the question, before piping up.]

Train station? There isn't a train station around here.

Re: [Around town]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Uh, do you know how to get out of town?

[around town]

[bleuflag]

[He looks Steve up and down- there's a little snort in there- and tilts his head.]

...A what station?

Re: [around town]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Do you... know what a train is?

Action - Around Town

[ultra_ace]

Train station? Sorry I haven't seen one yet. Sorry.

[Erika's about as tall as tiny-Steve is most likely, if a few inches shorter. She's wearing a button up shirt but no pants, but shoes.]

Re: Action - Around Town

[pursuitofcappiness]

Oh... well, thanks anyway.

[begintheoperation]

[Fran shakes her head.]

Sorry, I'm new around here~ If there is one, I haven't seen it~

[pursuitofcappiness]

Well... Thanks, all the same.

[equinamity]

[Newcomer. They used to make her sad, reflective. Now she simply feels sorry and obligated to give information.]

There is no train station here, sir.

You are in Mayfield, and though I do not like being the bearer of bad news, there is no known way out. Any person you meet here that is not droned--dressing and acting as if they fit perfectly with the picture of the town you see--is being held captive here, ourselves included.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Do you know... why this is happening?

Inside the house of awesome

[notalady]

[Luckily, Steve is the second person Arya has awakened to find "related" to her. Meaning he is spared the experience of being interrogated at swordpoint by a ten year old.

But he is treated to the sight of said ten year old and a wolf at least as big as she is stumbling out of one of the bed rooms.

Nymeria starts to growl, but Arya silences her with a hand on her back. And then turns her attention to Steve.]

You're new.

Re: Inside the house of awesome

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ He looks at her and then Nymeria and then quickly grabs a picture frame off the wall. Funny he didn't go for the table lamp instead. ]

So are you...

[ He is... not really ready to get mauled by a direwolf today. ]

Late as HFIL, but hi! In da house! I'll just start off with Pikachu first.

[100000v]

Pika?

Re: Late as HFIL, but hi! In da house! I'll just start off with Pikachu first.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Uh.

...

Hello?

[ THAT WAS UNEXPECTED ]
