Mantra One: Kidnapped?

[sarcasm_andbooks]

[Action For Housemates: Raven wakes up and discovers she's not in her own room anymore. Jumping up, she tries to calm herself down before...before.....

Her powers.....

Aren't there.....in fact she even looks different. Short black hair, less grey skin. Her chakra's gone as well as her normal clothes. She looks around the room and the slowly makes her way around the house. As she hunts around a table she knocks a phone over. You can hear a dry voice...]

Well either Mad Mod got tired of the British look or this is something new.....

[At that she notices the phone and picks it up.]

Hello? Robin, Beastboy, Starfire, Cyborg?....is anyone there? 

[A. There is a girl in a blue jacket, with the hood pulled up, looking around the town. It's quite clear she's new here. She has that, oh dear lord where am I, walk going on. Though her's is more tense, as though she's waiting for something to attack her.

B. In the park. Well a girl is trying to do something? She's chanting and pointing at a park bench...]

Azarath Metrion Zinthos! ....why isn't this working...

[C. The library. Okay, libraries she can deal with....Well she thought she could....Growing more and more frustrated as she flips through yet another romance book.]

Isn't there anything here that isn't a love story?

...Anyway, if you just got here, your magic's not going to work right away. You have to wait for the town to give it back. There are other ways, but they involve trades you probably don't want to make.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Somehow, when people get brought here, they show up without any of their stuff from home or any of their special powers. I'm not really sure how they do it.

But if you meant the trade thing, don't even bother. It's really not worth giving up your memories or parts of your body when you can just wait.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

......body parts?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I know it sounds weird, but you can go to the post office in this town and trade in parts of your body or memories for stuff back from home. But you'll eventually just get it all back anyway, so it's a pretty bad deal.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

It sounds like it would be.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

So... yeah. Um, I can answer any other questions you have about Mayfield too, if you want. You'll probably be stuck here for a while, after all.

Oh, and my name's Yuna. What's yours?

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

I'm Raven.

How long have you been here?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Just over seven months now.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

....that's a while.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. And there are people who've been here even longer.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

....How much longer?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Over a year. I think some people have even been here for over two years.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

That's....slightly depressing.

And no one's figured out a way out yet? Whose in power here? Anything?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Nope, not yet. We know who's in charge, though. More or less, anyway.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

Really? Who?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

This little girl named Lucy Smith. Except she's not really a little girl at all.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

No?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

I think a lot of people think she's a demon or something.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

A demon?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Well, she's definitely something weird.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

I see.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

The bad things only happen every month or so, though, so most of the time it's pretty quiet around here.
