Choose your character from the selection above! Other possible choices can be found at my muselist though they may not as definitely be available for threads.
Name the character you want and either go right into a prompt or request a starter from me! Feel free to indicate any preferences of your own as well.
I'm open to a variety of scenarios, with my main limits being avoiding scenarios that are too extreme in terms of being bleak/graphic, and I also do not play smut, although adult content is otherwise still fine.
When it comes to shipping, I mostly play m/f with my characters or f/f when it comes to my female characters. Some exceptions are possible here and there (including Ishimaru/Mondo and shipping Drake with Launchpad and/or Fenton). Open to trying out both ships within canon or crosscanon pairings!
Feel free to pull from various memes such as the Random Scenario Meme and various other non-smut ones! Gen, adventure, comedy, some crack, angst, hurt/comfort, cuddling, romantic tension, being stuck in ridiculous scenarios, there's many possibilities. I do also love characters exploring dreams/mindscapes. And AUs can also be welcome!
[Earth-42 was definitely among the least pleasant versions of New York that Peter's visited so far. He's had to web up a criminal every other minute while making his way around!
But he has a purpose in this. While the others are off getting Miles (and helping his daughter), Peter's out on lookout for Miguel. As much as he'd love to be there for Miles, he's better suited for handling Miguel, as he knows him better than anyone in the group. He even wants to believe that he can get Miguel to see things differently - while at the same time knowing that would be so difficult that he doubts it could be managed all at once. For now, he'll just have to settle for focusing on distracting.
Once he spots Miguel, he swings over with a casual air.]
Oh hey there Miguel! What took you so long, you had the wrong address? I hate it when that happens! [He quips lightly, as if this is just any other day.] You know, you can't count on MapQuest for anything!
[ It was all hands on deck by the time his team had made it to Earth-42. Miles being in the wrong dimension gave them a little buffer to catch him before he did something catastrophic, but the timing was already fraying his nerves.
Miguel is perched on a roof parallel to a familiar looking Brooklyn apartment building, marred by the city's rougher history. Miles' apartment. It was dark, and a heavy rain that just cleared up had obscured the window with droplets and streaks. He could still see some movement in there, but it wasn't Miles. It must be his mother. Or a version of her, anyway.
Peter's greeting is ignored in the meantime, choosing instead to tap at his wrist watch to give the status report. The rest of the team gets their instructions - He's not here. Keep looking. - and then Miguel's posture stiffens upright in acknowledgement of his friend's arrival. ]
Peter.
[ He had asked Lyla to send out everyone, so he doesn't suspect anything awry with Peter B, but he was getting a very frosty hello. ]
[ it's another day in the kingdom of japanifornia, and the knights of the realm are doing their daily training and routine. the kingkiller, a a horrible criminal known to most only as a medium at large is still on the loose, with a very small chance of having escaped the kingdom's impossibly tall walls. ]
[ so there is no rest and no breaks for any of them. least of all gumshoe. ]
[ despite being a knight from a long line of noble knights, at times it feels more like he's little more than a squire. particularly to the kingdom's finest, the reclusive, unyielding edgeworth. such is the case today, as gumshoe has been tasked with picking up a new set of armor for him. state of the art, even. unfortunately for him, he's gotten a bit lost on the way, and finds himself in a part of town he hasn't ever been to. as close as it is to the castle, there's nothing recognizable about it, and frankly... he's lost. ]
[It's a living. That's what Gumshoe often tells himself to help accept his lot in life. That and things will improve any day now! A victory for Edgeworth is a victory for him too! Because they're a team, right? He's gotten a little bit of recognition, at least! He got special permission to substitute his cape for a trenchcoat overlaying his armor. That's the biggest win he's had so far, but he's sure there must be more to come, on the horizon!
For now, he just has to grin and bear it! Time to pick up some awesome new armor for Edgeworth. He's sure his own new armor will come soon afterwards! This one's starting to get real worn down, and the coat parts are getting a bit tattered and frayed.
But now he stops and tries to take stock of his surroundings. Because... He has no idea who he is. He tries to look like he knows what he's doing (and not looking very successful at it) while examining his surroundings for anything or anyone that could bear a clue to his location.]
[ wherever he is, it doesn't seem to be anywhere near the armor shop. the more he walks in, the more he notices it's an increasingly shady-looking alley. kind of a dump, too, there are overflowing garbage bins everywhere ]
[ something glitters in one of them, in fact. an almost irresistible glimmer. if he should choose to look closer, he'll see a strange sight indeed. it's the hilt of a sword, just a hilt.... and it looks identical to the one who killed the king. ]
[ wow. ]
[ as he investigates, there's a clamoring noise behind him. maybe he's not alone ]
Gumshoe's attention is quickly caught by that glint of light, and his eyes widen as he takes a look at the sword. There's no mistaking it! He saw that footage and studied it endlessly to help with the case. That's it... That's The Sword!
He can't believe he stumbled onto the mother load like this! With this, he might be able to catch the most wanted criminal of all time. He'll be able to really solidify his reputation as a true knight! He's about to try investigating more when he hears a noise behind him. Now tensed up, he turns around to try to spot the source.]
[ i tried to find a gif for this but i couldn't so ]
[ BEGIN INVESTIGATION ]
[ there's nothing he can see, and the alley returns to silence. but it is indeed the hilt... but only the hilt. and it looks banged up, as if someone tried to destroy the evidence. ]
[ (funny, though, shouldn't the sword have been in the evidence locker?) ]
[ as he grabs it, though, he can't shake the feeling he's being watched... maybe he'd better take it and get out of here ]
He looks in the direction of the noise for a moment, waiting to see who or what answers him and takes ownership of the noise. But without an answer, he figures he must be hearing something. Probably some kind of squirrel or bird.
In any case, with that definitely resolved, Gumshoe is convinced that he is totally alone for sure! So he focuses completely on the sword. Or what's there of it.]
Now that's weird... This has gotta be the real deal, but where's the rest of it...?
[He grips the hilt and picks it up to look it over. ...Only to immediately feel an unnerving feeling. Gumshoe starts shuffling away quickly, intent on going to report this!]
[ yeah, the more he looks at it, the more he feels something is just... off about it. ]
[ regardless, the second he starts to move, without warning, a laser from a gun fires at him! it's so sudden he won't be able to spot the source of it right away, but it's definitely aiming to hurt, maybe even kill him. ]
[ better move fast, gummy ]
[ i'm also shooting lasers at your feelings with my cute phoenix icons ]
[He says that more to himself than anyone else, because he feels like a sitting duck right now. So he just bolts off!! With a skip in his step to try to increase his chances of not getting hit!]
[Also why are these adorable images flashing through his mind who is that blue man-]
[ one laser is just a hair's breath away from, well, his hair. he can feel the heat of it near his face. whoever's aiming at him -- and he might get the sense it isn't just one person --- is getting closer, and better ]
[ as he turns the corner, suddenly, a small hand is grabbing at his ]
[That close call gets a panicked yelp out of him! Now that sure seemed to redefine a 'close shave'!
In any case, once that hand reaches for him, he'll take it, no questions asked, even if it's a shady blue man! He'll take anything that gets him out of Laser City!]
S-sure thing pal! [He mutters as he rushes with the smaller figure!]
[ it's phoenix kneeling. anyway, this small figure, who is cloaked, pulls at his hand with a lot of urgency, but doesn't seem to have the strength to actually pull him, so he'll have to keep following ]
[ though where she's leading him is uh, through a dark alley. that's getting narrower and narrower. hard to shoot at, but progressively harder to squeeze through. for him, anyway. she's doing fine ]
[Oh he's not stopping, he's continued to move through this small cloaked figure! But he will he slowing down a bit as the alley narrows, and he tries to suck his stomach in as much as possible while squeezing through.]
[ he's between a rock and a hard place!! or lasers and a tight alley. she keeps pressing on at an insistent pace, and whoever's shooting at them is still hot on their heels, too ]
[ at least it's quick. once they're out it's quiet... ish. nothing attacking them. for the moment ]
Keep going! They'll lose you.
[ it's at this moment he can catch a glimpse of her face. and she looks very much like a certain kingslayer whose face was plastered all over the news. huh. ]
Is this a trap? You moving on to targeting really cool knights now or something, pal?! [He pauses as he hears the noises of others. After what just happened moments ago, it's becoming a lot harder to tell friend from foe, or even if there's any left of the former at all.]
...We can keep moving, pal, but don't think you get the drop on old Gumshoe! [He starts moving, with a slight stumble at first.]
[ she protests weakly. but as long as he starts moving...! that's the goal ]
Keep going! I'll draw them away.
[ once they're a good distance away, she disappears into one of the smaller alleys. there's some noises of commotion in the distance, then..... they start to fade. ]
[He knows this isn't the time for an interrogation, so he leaves it at that as they press onward!! But he slows down a bit once she makes her next declaration.]
Wait, what're you...
[He watches het disappear into the alley. He doesn't follow, but he can't bring himself to ditch her either. Whatever's going on here, he knows he needs to get to the he bottom of this! And figure out why he feels worried.
[ het indeed disappears into the alley..... as there is no maggey to be found. ]
[ no one else at all, actually. it's completely silent. he's been left entirely alone. whoever this strange girl was, she apparently wasn't lying about drawing them away. she's nowhere to be found if he starts to seek her out, either. ]
[It's fine, he's open to trying things out with the mysterious blue man-
The silence is deafening. Gumshoe looks around a little, shuffles forward and checks the alley. If there's no sign of either party, then he'll just have to move along in the direction she originally indicated and hope for the best.]
[ but gumshoe will find that he is indeed alone. no matter how long he looks around, he'll find he's alone, save for some stray animal ]
[ as he heads off in the direction, there isn't anyone out of the ordinary on his path. he'll soon be able to mingle with the regular civilians, who seem oblivious to anything that just happened ]
[He keeps his eyes peeled as he moves along! But nothing. And soon he finds those civilians, and it's like all that never happened. A sheepish smile on his face, he waves to them.]
H-hey there! Hi there. Nice... weather we're having...? [He still keeps on looking over his shoulder, worried about any pursuers.] You haven't seen anyone pass through here, have you...?
[ yeah, basically everything seems business as usual. the civilians have no idea who he's talking about, but of course will try to engage his services to deal with their own petty complaints. like the nimona version of the hoa or something, complaining that someone's grass is too tall, that spiky-haired baker underbaked their bread, and the like ]
[ if he lets them, they'll keep him busy for the rest of the day (and then some). otherwise, it's like nothing ever happened..... that is, until he gets back to his regular job ]
[Gumshoe does eventually relent and helps everyone out with their various errands. Throughout, that whole incident remains on his mind, and he keepe his eyes open for any signs of the girl or his attackers, only to find nothing. He's starting to wonder if he had an unusually elaborate daydream, or walked into a very bizarre play.
In any case, it's soon time to go back to work! He wonders about checking the status of the manhunt for that assassin.]
