@PoteitokuUnknown Speaker said:We've Delayed this invasion long enough. Begin the invasion of Erie, Buffalo, Rochester, and Cleveland immediately. For our way of life! For the Magical Brethren!
Sakatuski Miho said:Mr. Smith? I was told to approach you with an offer to rejoin the United States Military on the Magical Side, are you interested? Don't worry about the Mundanes, my comrades set up a SEP field around here.
Jeremiah briefly looks over at the young girl approaching him, before doing a double take. He then rests his right hand on his hip, not far from the holstered Glock 17 he's carrying, and looks around warily. "Kid, if this is some sort of Candid Camera bullshit, I will be very annoyed. And the fact that you dropped in a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference doesn't help me take you seriously.""Mr. Smith? I was told to approach you with an offer to rejoin the United States Military on the Magical Side, are you interested? Don't worry about the Mundanes, my comrades set up a SEP field around here."
"Mr. Smith, you know exactly what I'm talking about." Miho takes a breath, and slowly moves her hand towards the Wakizashi. "I know you've been hunted, so let me disarm myself." She does exactly that, unclipping her sheathed short sword and laying it on the floor slowly. "I'm not going to kick it over to you though, I respect my weapon too much for that." She say. I'm not going to tell him about my Glock. I'm still far too unskilled at any magic besides illusions. I probably should also drop the illusion I'm using to conceal my ears and tails. Miho does exactly that, revealing her snow white fox ears and three tails to the world. Of course, since the SEP field is up, no one reacts.Jeremiah Smith (US Army, Specialist 3rd Class)
Time: 11:00 AM, Dec 31st, 2001
Location: Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial, Erie, State of Pennsylvania, United States of America
Jeremiah briefly looks over at the young girl approaching him, before doing a double take. He then rests his right hand on his hip, not far from the holstered Glock 17 he's carrying, and looks around warily. "Kid, if this is some sort of Candid Camera bullshit, I will be very annoyed. And the fact that you dropped in a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference doesn't help me take you seriously."
While he's still talking, it's pretty clear he's sizing up anyone who seems to be looking in his direction. He also is keeping the kid with the shortsword at a distance, doing his best to make sure that if she drew the sword, he'd be able to defend himself before she got within swinging distance. He's been jumped by bounty hunters before, and has no intention of that getting repeated without being able to defend himself.
Jeremiah doesn't immediately react, but does untense slightly."Mr. Smith, you know exactly what I'm talking about." Miho takes a breath, and slowly moves her hand towards the Wakizashi. "I know you've been hunted, so let me disarm myself." She does exactly that, unclipping her sheathed short sword and laying it on the floor slowly. "I'm not going to kick it over to you though, I respect my weapon too much for that."
Jeremiah blinks at this, and not so surreptitiously looks around to see if anyone else reacts.I probably should also drop the illusion I'm using to conceal my ears and tails. Miho does exactly that, revealing her snow white fox ears and three tails to the world.
Upon seeing that nobody else is reacting, he untenses a bit more, and moves his hand back to a more neutral position. "Alright, so I'll buy your claim about being involved on the magical side of things. And you wouldn't have disarmed yourself even that much if you were one of the bounty hunters after me. Especially considering that, odds are, if you were competent as a bounty hunter, you'd have just jumped me as soon as your SEP field was up."
You awaken, having fallen asleep after answering the mysterious text message from... You can't seem to remember what number it was. How odd. The first thing you notice is the lack of your comfortable bed, and the presence of sand. Sand literally everywhere, and waves lightly lapping against the shore. The smell of the sea is missing though, so it must be a freshwater lake. You spot a ornate sword lying beside you. What do you do?
Ariel wheels in front of the Lynn and disengages their SEP Field. "Greetings, young one. You seem to be troubled, most likely due to an unfamiliar situation. May I ask who you are, and the extent of your knowledge regarding your current situation?" Ariel says, their English carrying a slight French accent.Sean
Presque Isle Beach, Near Lighthouse
...Sand?
So much sand...
...Where's my bed?
...Wait, where am I?
I get up off the ground, panicking for a moment. This isn't my room! I quickly realize I'm on a beach and calm down to a point where I notice an odd sword. I look down at the weapon I woke up next to. I don't know why this weird sword is here, but it might be useful later on. I bend down and grab it, holding it close. I should find somebody and ask where I am... I pick a direction away from the water and start walking. I move cautiously, scared of what I might find.

Ariel tilts their head, considering this. "I am Ariel, and there are most likely more changes than you initially realized." They reach into the bag currently strapped to their wheelchair, and give Sean a mirror.Sean

Sean smiles a bit when he sees the other person. Well, that was fast... I guess. "I... Yeah, I have no idea where I am. I fell asleep in my room and woke up on a beach with a weird sword. I'm Sean... Could you tell me your name?"
I slowly take the mirror and look into it. I almost instantly recoil in shock. "I'M A FOX BOY!?" After a moment, I laugh a bit. "Heh, I sorta like it." I hand the mirror back to Ariel. "So, where am I? What should I do?"Ariel tilts their head, considering this. "I am Ariel, and there are most likely more changes than you initially realized."

You're plan is progressing nicely, but perhaps it was time to seek the help of those who thought like you. You're currently following the United Magical Nations Soldiers who are following someone to Perry's Monument. Your disguise? You're walking your three "dogs". Once they reach their destination, a child in uniform breaks off to talk to the assumed POI. What are you going to do?

He looks around again, then sighs. "Alright, I'm provisionally in. If you're going to be leading me to some magical US Army base, I will want to pick up some things from my current place of residence. And, depending on how long I'd be away from the shop, get some of my mundane affairs in order to take a 'vacation'."
"I'll leave you to it while you arrange your affairs Mr. Smith. Thankfully, we're right near the Erie garrison, which is right near the Coast Guard Station on this Isle. I'm to escort you until you arrive in base, but feel free to ask me to wait outside of your place of residence." Miho says, before her ears perk up and,Upon seeing that nobody else is reacting, he untenses a bit more, and moves his hand back to a more neutral position.

"Yes? What can I help you with madam?"I frowned. There wasn't much I can take advantage of in this situation. At least, not something that I can leverage in order to have them help me. Looks like i'll have to act as a princess in trouble. The question is how though. I leaned my forehead against Xiao Bai as I tried to think up of a scenario before giving up. Guess i'll just have to wing it.
Taking a moment to hype myself up, I nervously walked up to one of the United Magical Nations Soldiers that were standing around.
"Ex-excuse me?"
Here's hoping the Imperium hasn't sunk their claws here too.
Ariel takes the mirror and returns it to their Bag of Holding. "We are currently on Presque Isle, in Pennsylvania; however, I doubt that they are 'your' Presque Isle, or 'your' Pennsylvania, as this is most likely not 'your' Earth. There is currently a war between people that wish to keep magic hidden, and those who wish to reveal it, allowing its benefits to be used for everyone. I recommend enlisting in the UNM military, which has a garrison roughly a mile from here."I slowly take the mirror and look into it. I almost instantly recoil in shock. "I'M A FOX BOY!?" After a moment, I laugh a bit. "Heh, I sorta like it." I hand the mirror back to Ariel. "So, where am I? What should I do?"
Jeremiah stayed quiet, with slightly narrowed eyes. "I'm guessing this isn't a terribly ordinary case, seeing as, 1), you haven't acted as if my compatriot's extra features are anything out of the ordinary, and 2), most 7 year olds wouldn't be able to have wolves on leashes."
I have several questions... "Magic? I... can't say I'm familiar with 'magic'. And you said there's a military base I can go to..." Maybe I'll be safe in the base. Would they let me stay there, though...? I need to get home. This person did say this isn't the same world that I'm used to... "Sure. Could you take me to this base? I, uh, don't know how to get there, and I'm pretty sure it's safer to walk in a group." I smile a bit more. I glance at the sword I picked up and decide to ask about it at the base.Ariel takes the mirror and returns it to their Bag of Holding.

Ariel nods. Their wheelchair floats a couple inches into the air. "Get on." They say, as they shrink down to a small enough size for both of them to sit comfortably on the chair.Sean

I get startled a bit by the wheelchair suddenly floating and the shrinking, but I quickly recover. Must be the "magic". I nod to them. "Okay." I hop onto the wheelchair with them, trying to give them as much space as possible. "Let's go!" I grin widely and chuckle a bit. This is cool!Ariel nods.

The sight of the clear white ceiling greeted James as he awoke from last night's alcohol induced state of unconsciousness. And while he hadn't been much of an avid drinker during his "previous life", he certainly was one now. The fact that he was now a resident of a paraller universe where magic existed, that would make just about any man take up drinking. He had lost everything he had had, including his old body and identity. The worst part was that he could quite clearly remember the faces of his old family and friends. He was, as someone had quite succintly written in the past, "a stranger in a strange land".@Ultimatum
You've been in this world for a year now, having witnessed 9/11 once again. You're currently holed up in Erie, and are seriously considering heading over towards the UMN Garrison near the Mundane Coast Guard Station on Presque Isle. You're currently in the city of Erie, in an abandoned apartment.
Ariel simply nods, and raises their wheelchair into the air, and has it go at half of its maximum speed towards the garrison.Sean

Jeremiah simply fixes her with a flat look, before shaking his head and turning to walk towards his truck, so he could gather the stuff he wanted from his apartment near the gun store he owned, before heading to whatever military base they wanted him stationed at."Mama said that it is rude to eavesdrop on people." Or at least that it is a mistake to allow people to know that you have eavesdrop. "Strange of you to call her a compatriot when it seemed as if you two had just met. It is also rude of you to assume that your.....compatriot's features are out of the ordinary as it is quite ordinary in the magical world. As for my canines, that is none of your business."
Feeling my annoyance, my three wolves started to growl at him, their hackles raised.
You've Arrived in Erie, as instructed by UMN HQ to join the garrison there. There have been whispers that Britain is preparing to abandon her neutrality, and join the Magical Brethren. The UMN has a small garrison in high priority cities in the US/UT northern border to hopefully counteract the impending assault. You are still in flight towards the Garrison Near the Mundane US Coast Guard Station in Erie. (You may choose what to do from here) (You are flying from the City of Erie)
