Tokunaga squashes all!

[dualpunishment]

Who: Anise and anyone!
Where: the plaza
When: Morning~
Style: Whatever
Status: Wide open

[No crickets. That’s the first thing Anise notices, even before she opens her eyes. The second thing is she's soaking wet, clothes irritatingly sticking to her, jarring her mind from sleep and setting it turning. Can her parents just not pay for the roof to be repaired? Again? Damnit Papa, how is Mama supposed to recover properly if she gets rained on?!

When she moves to get up out of bed and opens her eyes, she notices the third thing. This is not her house in Daath.

Bug-eyed, Anise leaps to her feet and immediately morphs Tokunaga for battle, raising the puppet’s mass enough to climb on its back and look wildly at her surroundings. A big rocky looking plant, unfamiliar architecture... is that a shark?!

With a loud exclamation of surprise and a sudden flail at seeing that great big sea creature swim right on by, the young guardian topples backwards off her plushy perch and lands hard on the cobbles with an immediate squeal of irritation and indignation that echoes ominously across the plaza.]

Where the hell is this?! Where is everyone?!

[The demand echoes back across the plaza, causing a nearby towel vendor to stare at the sudden outburst, too sluggish to turn away before he catches Anise's eye. She has half a mind to go and demand answers from the poor man; have Tokunaga shake him so all the information tumbles out. Kidnap the Fon Master Guardian, will they?!]

Like this.

[ Rand fishes out his own half-black, half-white starfish, and Seizes saidin. Anise may feel some goosebumps as he moves the starfish up to her level with weaves of air, and pushes the correct buttons. ]

[dualpunishment]

[Okay, so he is a fonist, though his arte feels strange. Must be the atmosphere, maybe...

Still, oddness aside she pays attention and pushes the corresponding buttons on her own little piece of fontech (it's gotta be fontech, what else could it be?).]

Oh! Guy's here? And the Colonel!

[She doesn't get much past C after that.]

I guess the aliens abducted everyone else too... I should find them!

[righthandedragon]

[ It could be a ter'angreal. Isn't C before G? ]

It is good you have friends already here. [ He moves the SFC back within his reach and releases saidin, pocketing the device. ]

I wouldn't be much help, the names you used are unfamiliar, unless you simply want company in your search. [ But he can go back to exploring if she doesn't want him to walk with. ]

[dualpunishment]

[Well if it's sorted by last name...]

Wait, how are they already on this list here if we all got kidnapped at the same time? I mean, I just saw them!

[She looks at Rand, finally shrinking her puppet to a more manageable size in order to speak more closely, though she remains wary. It might be that constant little smile on the guy's face, but he creeps her out a little.]

I'm Ionian Sargeant Anise Tatlin, Oracle Knight Fon Master Guard. What about you? Did you get abducted too?

[righthandedragon]

[ Ah, Guy isn't listed as Gardos.. ]

As I understand it, the time of ones home halts while one is here. A friend of mine may be ahead of me, and another is definitely behind him, in terms of time from home, but the first friend and I arrived within a day of each other.

[ The calm smile is better than the stone or steel eyes, though. Trust him, he's better now. ]

Rand al'Thor, Aes Sedai. [ And the Dragon Reborn, Car'a'carn, Coramoor, and a wool-headed, stone-willed fool of a sheepherder, depending on who you ask. ]

It seems to be so; I arrived just as wet as you - I can take care of that, if you want, the water - a week ago.

[dualpunishment]

What? That's ridiculous! Time travel and teleportation are just from stories, there aren't real fonic artes that can do that!

Nice to meet you, Rand, even if you're trying to pull my leg.

[Pff, trying to convince her she'd fallen into a fiction book about the Dawn Age? Yeah right!]

[righthandedragon]

Teleportation, perhaps, but Traveling is possible. They're not quite the same thing.

[ Ignore those goosebumps again, Anise, because Rand just ripped a hole in the air and... stepped through to stand next to the coral. ]

[dualpunishment]

How did you do that?!

[Have a look of complete flabbergasted amazement!]

[righthandedragon]

I poked a hole, moving from one place to the one I wanted. [ Simplified. He closes it after he's through. No need for someone to touch it and get hurt. ]

I'm told its different for female channelers; making the two places the same in their mind until they can just step through, but it doesn't work that way for me.

[dualpunishment]

But that's supposed to be impossible! And you're telling me there's two ways to do it?!

[He amazement subsides as a thought occurs.]

Wait, if you can teleport like that, how come you can't just leave?

[righthandedragon]

I can't even get to the island from here; I'll assume its whatever draws people here preventing me from so much as Skimming to the island, let alone Traveling elsewhere.

[ A thoughtful position, like he's curling his left hand under his chin - oops, no hand there. ]

Different worlds, perhaps. Your rules of magic may not allow for it, but mine do.
