Start It Up!
With a pop of displaced air, the Exiles appear in a new place.

Most of them immediately recognize the streets of New York city, even at night from the dark alley in which they have appeared: the Empire States Building and the World Trade Center's lights can be seen in the distance. Posters for bands and upcoming concerts plaster the walls. People pass by along the city streets.

"Okay, Sarah, what's the... hello?" Patriot's voice drops off as he notices that there's someone new with them.

	Rose notes the presence of the World Trade Center and it strikes her as very weird. Then it hits her that this world is very different than the one she is from. She tries to not get upset but then notices the new person. Just seriously, what the heck. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"We seem to have picked up another traveler. We don't know if he's been briefed or not... someone want to take that? Because right now, the Tallus is... erm, singing... yelling... screaming vaguely in tune at me that in order to party every day, we need to rock and roll all night. Anyone have a clue? Please?"

	"Seems like the Tallus is a KISS fan," Quinn quipped. Then he noticed the newcomer. "Who are you, mate?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

To his credit, Tom's first reaction was not to haul off and hit someone. Instead, he went very, very still, looked around him, and then took a pull of his hip-flask, leaving the smell of strong booze wafting through the air around him.

Then he turned to look at Quinn, and (with great dignity) pointed his Shillelagh at him.

"How're yeh," he said, conversationally. "This stick is capable of plunging several very sharp and painful branches into your chest if I want it to. I don't particularly want to do that, and I somehow doubt you want me to either, so maybe you could tell me WHAT THE FUCK IS GOIN' ON?!"

The smell of whatever drink of drink that the hip flask held hit Rose hard. She made a face because the rather putrid smell made her want to turn her head away. As one of the younger members of the team she stayed away from liquor.

Rose was about to speak up then glanced back and fourth at the rest of the team. She decided that she would speak up since she could be a diplomat when she needed to.

"Hey. We didn't bring you here. Did you meet a guy? Kinda fat? Terrible at telling people anything useful?" She looks hopeful but then sighs and scratches the back of her head. "Guess not otherwise you wouldn't be confused."

	"The Timebroker has a way of doing this. Patriot and Roxanne were the same. The basics are that your home dimension was hit by a ripple in the timestream. Its become disrupted, and now you've been pulled out of time to try and help handle it. If that makes any sense to you, then welcome to the insane asylum. Either way, we're not your enemies."

	The Ghost Rider burns silently, only this one has breasts and a large sledgehammer. Other then that, Tom probably does want to look too closely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The most powerful weapon in his universe on his wrist, and the newcomer was threatening them with a stick? It was almost enough to make Joe laugh. "And if we're really, really good,' he added, "we might get to go home. I'm not sure I buy it, personally." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2009-11-15 05:59 am UTC (link)
	"I don't. I can't even get a bloody pint of beer, let alone think I'm gonna get to go home." Quinn extended a hand. "Quinn Braddock. Welcome to the Exiles." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tommythetree 2009-11-15 01:40 pm UTC (link)
	For a long moment, Tom just stared at them all. Then he lowered his stick and shook Quinn's outstretched hand. "Black Tom Cassidy. Or Woodsman, but no-one really bothers with that anymore. So, eh... who's the rest of yeh?" He glanced around the others, carefully avoiding looking at Ghost Rider. He's no-where near drunk enough to deal with that, right now.

	"I'm Patriot," Bucky tells him, offering a hand in turn after Quinn. "This is Crusader, Ghost Rider, Doctor Spectrum, Iron Dragon, and..." He pauses. "Blink?" He glances around. "Did Blink not come with us?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You can call me Rose, Tom," Rose offers with a slight wave of her hand. She can't blame Tom for being cranky to put it mildly to be frank since no one likes being pulled out of their homes.

"I don't see her. Maybe she ended up somewhere near here and is making her way over? Should I go look?" Rose is a ready and willing type of person when it comes to looking out for the team.

Tom finishes shaking Patriot's hand, and watches the exchange with a certain bewildered blankness. Inside, however, he could feel gears turning. Quinn Braddock, the man had said his name was, and that was something Tom could latch onto. Patriot was also worryingly familiar- he had a distinctly Buckyish look to him.

"I could help, I suppose?" he suggests. He wouldn't know precisely what he was looking for, but an oportunity for some privacy to get his head together would be entirely welcome, right now.

	Patriot shakes his head. "If Blink's not here, then she's not here, and splitting up wouldn't be a great idea." He turns to Quinn. "You think you know something of what the Talus is telling us?" He figures Tom can learn on the fly... which is pretty much what everyone else has had to do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Quinn shrugged. "All I know is that it appears to be a KISS fan. Though I'm totally up for rock and rolling all night and partying every day." There would be no complaints from Quinn. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Call me Joe," Spectrum added. "We should get moving," he said, crafting a platform with his power prism. "I can carry our nonfliers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wwii_hero 2009-11-17 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Get moving where?" Patriot questions, checking out the alley for any hints as to their location. "We don't know where we're supposed to go." He looks at the posters on the side of the wall. "Huh. This isn't right, is it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exiles_kiss 2009-11-17 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	Initially, the poster looks like the band KISS -- a big show of men in silver and black outrageous costumes with loads of makeup. But as Patriot looks closer, he spots something unusual. He may have been frozen in ice during KISS's heyday, but those people don't seem to have KISS's makeup. And... the name of OSCULATION instead of KISS? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sarah wouldn't know KISS from Winger, so that certainly doesn't get her attention. She does glance oddly at the Talus, and then glances at the others. "Ok, so people born and raised on Earth, why is it telling me that 'Manilow must not rock'?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	doc_spectrum 2009-11-17 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	Joe shrugged. "No idea. I've never even heard of KISS before today." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2009-11-17 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	"That makes two of us. I've heard the name Manilow before, from my dad, I think. Isn't he a musician of some sort?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	irondragon 2009-11-18 06:02 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. He's more of a lounge singer than a rocker from what I know." Rose doesn't appear to know much about music either. "I've never been a huge music ...type of person. Not my thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2009-11-18 12:42 pm UTC (link)
	Quinn hadn't been paying much attention to what was being said, but then he heard the name Manilow. That got his attention. "What the bloody HELL!?" Quinn's jaw dropped open. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tommythetree 2009-11-19 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	Tom glances up at Quinn's rather abrupt reaction. "Somethin' wrong?" he enquired, mildly. He wasn't a huge rockfan, when you got right down to him, so a hard-rockin' Manilow didn't really bother him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"KISS is one of the all time great ROCK bands. Not some...gah! Manilow! And that looks like Tony Orlando. Two people who have no place in rock." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
