Roleplay

There was a strange voice. Someone who had needed Luigi's help.

And then everything sank back into darkness.

***

He woke up in a grassy field. The brilliant light from the sun shining down caused a headache to erupt from behind his eyes.
Luigi pushed himself the ground with his wings.

...
Wings?

He looked at what was once his arms. They were cream colored, with no traces of the green sleeves white gloves.
"Mario? Mario?" the now owl-like Luigi practically screamed.
"Over-a here!" the familiar Italian voice sounded amongst the other unconscious creatures. What ran up to him was an orange chick-like creature, of whom he could only tell was Mario by the red ribbon around his neck.
"Mario! You look-a so different!"
Mario nodded his head. "And so do-a you. Where are we?"

Meanwhile, two brown foxes were waking up next to each other. They were only able to identify each by their suddenly improved sense of smell.
"Banksii? Is that you? How-"
"I don't know!" the violet-capped Inkling-turned-mammal cried out. "I don't even know where we are, or what the hell is going on."
Flammea stood up to examine his surroundings. Okay, he has to keep his cool and think.

Warmth. It was something Sibia was not used to, having come from the cold oceans, only sunbathing when she became too cold to function properly in the water. But she felt the sun's hot rays on her long, encoiled back as she lay on the ground, eyes half open. Where was she? She couldn't rightfully tell, she had never seen this place before in her life. She distinctly remembered a human sounding voice telling her something, though her memories were still a little fuzzy. They sounded like the maidens of the village who used to play with her as she sunbathed. But she was not them, and they were not her. There was an important distinction to be made between the two, or at least that's what Sibia figured.

She lifted herself, uncoiling until she was rightfully stretched out across the field. She noticed her colors had become lighter and she was pudgier, but it was of no current concern to the half-asleep snake. What interested her more was the various creatures strewn across the field. Were they monsters, like her? She wasn't sure, and to be honest, she doubted it. They looked... too cute to be so. She made her way over to a strange orange bird with an accent.

"Excuse me," she silkily and quietly spoke to it, trying not to spook it. "Where am I? Do you know?"

Yugi had the worst headache ever.

He had gotten up that morning, and was greeted by his grandpa, who had informed him that yet another tournament was coming up, and that, of course, he was personally invited. He had taken this information with a grain of salt; he was exhausted from the recent events in his life, what with Battle City and the Dartz incident and all. Another tourney wasn't exactly what he needed right then, but he thanked his grandpa anyways and left.

The other him was much more pleased with the information. The Pharaoh got fidgety surprisingly quickly for being cramped up in a box for 5000 years, and was glad to hear of any sort of event that he could participate in. After a quick talk over their strategies and what deck they would use, Yugi headed to the local coffee shop to meet with his friends. They were having a good time, just hanging out, when it happened.

Yugi heard a voice, telling him something. And it wasn't the other him.

And now he was here, lying on the grass. His eyes were closed, but he could feel the sun on his face and the dew on the grass. He never remembered going outside.

"Partner?" he mentally inquired, wondering if the Pharaoh would know what was going on.

No reply.

Yugi sat up, looking down and trying to see if his puzzle had been stolen. The other him always seemed to be around when he called. But instead, he saw a mask inscribed with the Eye of Wadjt and hands that were not his own.

Yugi screamed.

Aether woke up, in a strange new place. Her fellow clanmates were nowhere to be seen. Fern, Tania, Keil, Resist, and everyone else... She couldn't find them anywhere. Not even her faithful pet bunny was right beside her, like he usually was.

(italics = thoughts)
"Tania??? Keil??? EmeraldClan?!?! Where are you?"

She tried to fly, so she could get a bird's eye view, but all that she got was a hop.

She then looked down at herself and realized that her legs and wings were gone. All the hopeless dragon could do was to slither around and cry out for help...

(Keigo's POV)

"Come on, Puff! Let's go check out this field I found!" I said to Puff, one of my best friends and my training buddy.

We then arrived at a huge field of flowers. "I love this," the Hoppip exclaimed, as she proceeded to run around the field, as she usually does.

"I know, right? My dad showed me this place when he was flying around the area!"

Puff soon came back to me. "What about that Dratini?" she asked, "It looks like she needs help!"

I soon noticed the Dratini that she was talking about. She certainly didn't look familiar, with those markings and all...

I made my way over to the Dratini. "W-Who... Are you?" she asked.

"I'm Keigo," I answered her.

"Oh, well, I'm Aether, and I just wanna find my way home..." she replied, "I live with this clan of dragons. It's called EmeraldClan. Have you heard of it?"

"Sorry, but I don't know of any clans around here... Or any dragons, besides my dad," I responded, "but me and my friend Puff might be able to help you."

Mario turned around to see a snake-like creature. It wasn't anything like he's seen back at the Mushroom Kingdom.
"I don't-a know," the orange bird responded. "We just-a woke up here."

Flammea jumped from the screaming not far from him and Banksii. Both of the brown foxes ran over to investigate. It looked like a gray ghost, holding a golden object with a depiction of an eye on what could be considered its tail.
"Hello? Are you okay?" Banksii asked the dark gray being.

"Same as me, then," the snake stoically confirmed. She snapped her head over to where she heard the scream. "This keeps getting better..." She muttered silently as she observed the two foxes and the strange, mask holding ghost, duly noting the sacred Eye on said mask.

(Note
'Thought'
"Thought Conversation")
Yugi tried to regain his composure after the two foxes came up to him. 'I guess foxes talking can't be the most weird thing that has happened today,' he subconsciously noted.

"I-I'm not sure," He managed to choke out, "Where am I? What am I? Where is-" he stopped himself short, before he said 'the other me'. It might not be a good idea to tell them about the Pharaoh, he should be cautious.

"Do you know where we are? Or why I'm," he gestured to his strange form weakly "like this?"

Mario followed after the serpentine being.
"Marioooo! Wait for-a me!" Luigi quickly fluttered over. It seems he lost his jumping ability, but at least can manage some kind of flight.

"Your guess is good as mine," Banksii replied. "Flammea and I just woke up here as these weird mammalian things."

"You look like foxes," Yugi observed. He was still rather rattled, but he was a bit less shocked then at the start. At least he wasn't dead or some game figure. He could still move and talk, though he didn't seem to notice he hadn't breathed in the past three minutes, which normally wouldn't be possible for most human beings. But then again, he wasn't quite human at the moment.

"Is there a problem over here?" he heard a female voice from his side. Turning to face her, he saw a giant snake, darkish blue and white in color and with two fins coming out the sides of her her head. Trailing behind her were two birds, one orange, short and chubby and the other brown, taller and lean.

"U-um.." the duelist, intimidated, stuttered, "n-no ma'am."

Sibia gained a quizzical expression at this. "Formal, aren't we?" she observed. She then turned her attention to the two foxes. "Hello there," she greeted the two, "I assume you are also not native?" she guessed this from what she overhead heading over to the location of the three monsters.
