selfhelp: ([billy] it's... kind of a brother thing)

[Action / Voice] evening + morning

[...This doesn't look like Prison #42. At least, not as he recalls it. Billy pushes himself upright in the grass, squinting in the early evening light, and absently lifts a shaking hand to his ears. There's no device there, nothing to prevent him from casting any spells... a fact he proves to himself with a wave of his hand, conjouring up a shirt to go with the unfamiliar white pants he finds himself in. What's all this about, exactly? Some new trick that Stark and Richards came up with to keep their prisoners placated? Or has he - against all odds - been freed and dumped somewhere in the wild?

What've you gotten yourself into now, Kaplan?

Cautiously he lets his magic take him up to the tree line, resting on a high branch to get a better look around. Up ahead, not far in the distance, he can see a village, but it's so small and old-fashioned that he doesn't recognize it at all. Wherever he is, it's pretty remote.

Well, whatever. What does location matter to a witch who can teleport? His priority is finding Cap and the rest of the Young Avengers. Teddy's probably flipping out right about now. Dropping back into a crouch, he sits himself down on the branch, cross-legged, and lifts his hands again, letting the glow return to them, and begins chanting under his breath-]


"IwanttobeinNewYorkIwanttobeinNewYork..."

[Yeah, he's pretty noticeable like that. Especially since he'll be there until he's discovered, pointedly not teleporting to New York. Awkward.]


[In the morning, however, things are a bit different- he's settled (sort of), he's rested (a bit), he's informed (just enough). And he's sorted out how to use the journal. Thus, around mid-afternoon, he sends out a message:]

Okay, this is weird, but... let's give it a try. Hey, uh, whoever's listening out there. I've heard there are people from all over the galaxy, and lots from Earth, especially. That's where I'm from, too. I was wondering, though- are there people living here who'd be considered "super heroes"? Here or on your own world, I mean. I'm actually-

[Actually... he really shouldn't just announce it. What if someone from the Initiative is here and remembers him when they get back to Earth? Even a slim chance isn't worth the risk.]

...I'm actually a huge fan of the superheroes from Earth! You know, heroes like Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-man... I've been a fan since I was a kid. Though I guess it's not unusual for someone from New York. There's a ton of superheroes living in the city these days.

Sorry for rambling so much. To be honest, I'm just nervous... I've never been to another world before.

[....]

Teddy? You here?



[ooc: first dibs to action (chronologically) goes to Buffy, otherwise he is free to be met wherever/whenever. Also if you could have a look at his permissions post I would be much obliged!]

[AN HONOR. Oh, Billy, you are a keeper. He really misses this type of thing.]

Right then, Billy--welcome to Luceti. For the time being. I'm working on a way to get us out of here, so just sit tight. [Of course he is.]

[Sure, if you like making like a lab rat.

She bites it back.]


So ya got the low-down already?

[NOT THAT SHE CARES. Or anything. But dang, you sound squishy and she doesn't like people going squish.]

Mmm, fair enough.

[She's not one to poke too much into other people's business, so right about now she'll start looking for an 'out' in the conversation.]

Makes for some thick readin'. But ya should get ta findin' your way around all right. Most folks here are right helpful.

[But not her. Nooooo sir.]

Don't go inflatin' Stark's ego any more'n it's already inflated, mon ami.

[Low laugh. A fanboy of Tony's. Somebody's going to have to knock the Iron Man down a few pegs sometime soon, he's sure.]

We all gonna be drownin' in his ego soon enough, m'sure.

Take it you jus' got here, then.

If they were better thieves, we wouldn't even notice they done it.

[Don't mind me, watching you up in the tree with a fishing pole sittin' on my shoulder. Great, a freaked out New Feather. At least, he's assuming as much. His last brush with one wasn't pleasant being that he was almost murdered, but hey. Always nice to try again.

... What is it with him and finding people in trees. Sheesh.

He puts a hand to his mouth and calls up:]


I don't think that'll get you home, compadre.

[ glow. she sees glowing. closing her fingers around a less-than-helpful magical compass, buffy shoves branches and leaves aside to follow that eerie sight into the depths of the woods. ]
