[Things just kept gettin’ better and better. Last thing he remembers is getting attacked on that rooftop by a bunch of Pinocchio wannabes pretending to be ninja. And now? Now he’s stuck in another dimension in some city that’s supposedly floating on a giant freakin’ turtle.

Needless to say, Raph was Not Happy. He had no idea where his brothers were, and he was starting to wonder if this was like the thing with Draco and the Daimyo’s son. Constantly getting hurled into other dimensions was really starting to tick him off.

At least those kedan guys seemed all right. They took it pretty well when he’d given one of them the shakedown while he was trying to figure out what the shell happened. The guy didn’t even fight back, and Raph felt kind of bad about it in retrospect, but there was nothing he could do about that now.

The best part was that most of these guys around here looked just as weird as him. Some of them were even uglier. You never knew if the guy next to you was gonna have tentacles or gills or an extra arm. He liked it. Kinda felt like walking around the Battle Nexus. Even the buildings looked kinda similar.

That was the only reason why Raph even thought of getting on that computer. Since nobody's screamed or tried to dissect him yet, the way he looked obviously wasn't a factor, and if he was gonna find his brothers, it was the quickest and the easiest way to do it. Not to say it still didn't make him nervous, but finding his bros was all he cared about. He'd just have to suck it up and be careful, because the sooner he found them, the sooner he could get his hands on whoever the heck was responsible for this mess.

And if he couldn't find them, then he'd just have to do it alone.

So, here goes nothin'.]

Bet you think you're real funny, puttin' me on a giant turtle. People seriously gotta work on their sense of humor.

[Raph's not even sure if whoever's responsible for this little unexpected vacation can hear him, but he's mad, okay? So what if he vents a little?

He glowers into the camera, cracking his knuckles]

Any of you people know how the heck we got here? 'Cause I'm about this close to marchin' into that palace and showin' little miss Emperor exactly what I think about her business.

[All right. Enough of that. Gotta keep it together. He folds his arms over his chest, getting down to the real reason he posted this.]

And I'm lookin' for my brothers. They look a lot like me, so you'd know it if you saw 'em.

[He's kinda dreading the answer to that last one. Wouldn't be the first time he wound up in another dimension alone, but after that crazy fight back home, he just needed to know they were okay.]

[Victor tries not to look awkward as he sits in front of the console. He's still in his uniform, tugging slightly at the collar with his normal hand. He won't admit it but he's a little nervous about being stranded here on his own.]

It's probably weird that the thing that bothers me most about all this is the fact that's nothing has tried to kill me yet. It's not just me that thinks that's weird, right?

I mean other than feeling like I went a round or two with Namor on his home turf and lost badly for most of the ride here, this has been the nicest welcome I've had to a new dimension. Those people that brought me here in the cart were an improvement over demons for sure.

Speaking of demons...[He glances around his suite a moment before his attention returns to the console.] no one's seen a crazy demon girl running around calling herself Magik or Darkchylde, have they? Dropping me into some weird alternate world is definitely something she would do.

Well anyway, I'm Victor. Are any of the X-men stuck here? Or anyone else from the Jean Grey School?

Angels east, angels west; North and South, do your best

 [ For the most part he is quietly accepting of the explanation he’s been given for where he’s ended up. It’s certainly not what he had expected any afterlife to be like, but he does remember Maine advancing on him, remembers his sister failing to cover him, remembers dropping and knowing, knowing that Maine had come to take Theta from him, before he’d awoken on the shore here. As he was carted to his new home he spent the time in thought. He could only hope Theta had felt that North had done everything he could to try to keep him safe from the menace that his former teammate had become, and how very sorry he was that he had failed.

His strength had slowly returned by the time he was conveyed to his new apartment, and he takes off his helmet and his gauntlets, removes his weapons, lays them all out in a neat row on the kitchen counter before heading to the console to fiddle around with it. He reads over a few messages to get a feel for the place before deciding to open up a signal. He might as well make his presence known, see what friends he can make. ]

Hey, there. Name's Andrew, though I suppose it's possible there's someone here who once knew me as North. Either way, if you're up for making any new contacts, I'd be interested.
