(OOC: This post was made by all three of us in a chat.)
Doman
Spleen gaped at the cake that had just appeared through the hole. As it came through, the hole...or portal, as it obviously was, shimmered. He turned to Melanie and Ythea and just...gaped.
Dreamland
Knuckle Joe gaped at the cake that had just disappeared through the hole. As it left through, the hole...or portal, as it obvious was, shimmered. He turned to Kirby and Tac and just...gaped.
Both Sides
The portals were shimmering more violently now. The cake had broken whatever amount of resisting spacetime was left. Doma and Dreamland were linked with a soon-to-be stable dimensional portal.
Doma
"Where is this portal from?" Ythea asked. "I mean, it can't be too bad, because it has cake...but where does it lead?"
Spleen laughed at that, his tenseness failing somewhat.
"I'm going to check what's on the other side," Ythea said.
"No, wait-"
"If I start being pulled through, pull me back, okay?"
Spleen sighed. "Yeah, alright. Be @#%$ careful, okay?"
"I'll watch my neck."
With that, Ythea stretched the body part in question and put her head through the portal.
Dreamland
Tac, Kirby and Knuckle Joe reeled backwards in horror... there's a large head coming out of the thing that just ate their cake!
Knuckle Joe stumbled backwards. "AHH! IT'S HIDEOUS!"
Kirby just stared. "Wha.. What the HELL?!?!"
TAC nodded. "Well said..."
Knuckle Joe jumped forward and went into a fighting stance.
Ythea blinked at the small beings that were calling her hideous. With wry humor, she realized that, to them, she must be.
"I come in peace." she said comfortingly. The trio just blinked.
"You...speak our language?" KJ wondered.
The Dreamlanders looked at each other.
Ythea wondered how she can speak their language, too.
Kirby raised an eyebrow...muscle..."That's odd...."
"Well, it seems I can. I don't know how, but it's convenient...."
"We might just speak the same language.."
"But anyway, what is this place?"
"Green Greens," KJ said.
"Dreamland, Popstar," TAC said.
"...where are you from?" KJ asked.
"Well, the country on the other side of the portal is called Doma...but I myself am from a different place, called This Planet."
Kirby cocked his head. "...? Donut?"
KJ grinned. "Even now, Kirby cannot stop thinking about food."
TAC shrugged. "Well, can you blame him?"
Kirby glared at Tac and shrugs.
"'Tis true."
Knuckle Joe grinned.
On the Doman Side...
Spleen was concerned about Ythea.
"YO! YTHEA! ARE YOU STUCK?! DO YOU NEED HELP?!"
Ythea sprouted a second head at the Doma side.
Melanie was still watching, unseen in her tree hideout.
"Everything's fine."
Both pairs of eyes widened in shock.
Well, i think I shocked the poor bastard off his noggin, she thought, Normal people usually don't sprout two heads.
Dreamland
The Dreamlanders heared Ythea's voice faintly. They made a huddle.
"I say we explore this donut place," T.A.C. said.
Kirby nodded. "Agreed...Knuckle Joe?"
KJ nodded.
"Excuse me," Kirby said, "Donut person...can we come through that portal?"
"Sure, why not. I don't mind." She then withdrew her head. Quickly, she recapped to Spleen.
Doman
"There are people on the other side of that portal."
"...yeah?"
"They look roughly like this..." She transformed to Kirby, "This..." To Knuckle Joe, "and this." T.A.C.
Spleen's eyes almost bugged out again, both at the transformations themselves and their subjects.
She then transformed back to herself. "What can I say? It's a talent of mine."
"Shapeshifter...." Melanie muttered to hersellf.
Spleen nodded. "And they want to come over?"
"Yes, they said they would."
With that, the three cute things stepped through the portal.
KJ and Spleen looked at eachother, blinking.
"Hi...uh...I'm Spleen..."
"I'm...Knuckle Joe."
"And I'm Ythea."
"Kirby."
"I am known as T.A.C."
Spleen quirked an eyebrow at Tac. "Known as?"
Tac just looked away at the landscape of Doma.
Kirby went O.O. "There's no... pink... and no stars... What kinda place IS this?!" He turned to look up at Spleen, who looked back down at Kirby.
"You're really small."
Kirby glanced around. "What!?"
Ythea, meanwhile, was rather worried about the portal, about whether it would close and strand these three travelers on Gaera.
Melanie was suddenly smiling and leaning out on the branch, her eyes shining. "They're so.... cuuuuuuuute....." She leaned out a bit too far and falls out of the tree.
Tac stared in her direction. Spleen laughed.
Ythea's head swiveled toward Melanie; she neglected to orient her body with it, so her head was turned 180 degrees.
Melanie slowly got up and dusted off her clothing. She looked up at the mismatched crowd. "... Hi?"
Ythea turned her body around so her head was at a reasonable angle.
"So, who are you?"
"Melanie."
"Hold on a moment, I'll be right back. I just need something to stabalize this portal."
"Dude...you can DO that?" Spleen's eyes bugged out again.
Meanwhile, Tac had somehow disappeared into an unknown area.
Kirby stuck his tongue out. "Hmph. If I had a Star Rod now I could do it."
Spleen raised an eyebrow. "Star who?"
"Star Rod."
"Star Rod? What the hell is a Star rod?"
"....you don't know about the Star Rod?"
Spleen shook his head. "Nope. And I don't want to hear it, either."
