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?

Normally spell books. But I'm guessing you don't have those.

Do you have any mystery books? Poetry? Horror?

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

No, we don't.

Mysteries, though... hmmm. [There are a few of those for some of the adult male readers, aren't there? Nina combs the shelves.]

What's your name? I don't think I've seen you before.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

Raven.

I just woke up here this morning.

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, Raven. I'm -- [Anna? Nina? Anna?] I'm Nina.

[She pulls a few books off the shelves. They'll look just like regular romance books to Raven, but Nina knows what she's doing.]

If you come with me, I can help you check out. We'll need my card, since this place won't let you see anything but love stories and books about makeup with yours.

How much have you had explained to you?

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

Not much.

[Follows her.]

We can't leave. My appearance changed for some reason and I can't contact my teammates.

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

[Nina checks out the books, and what were once romance novels to Raven's eyes are now mysteries when Nina hands them to her.]

Your teammates? [Curious!] I have something here that can explain things pretty well. It's a little out of date, but it might help you get an idea all the same.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

The Teen Titans. We're superhero's.

[And unlike the last teen superhero you befriended. Secret identity, what is that?]

Oh yeah? What is it?

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

There sure are a lot of you guys here! Maybe you'll find some of your teammates here after all? If you tell me what they look like, I can keep an eye out.

[Nina reaches into her purse sitting by her desk, and hands Raven a copy of one of Dist's pamphlets (http://buildstherobots.livejournal.com/12857.html#cutid1). He may not be giving them out right now, but she stocked up a lot time ago.]

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[She'll take it and put it in her books.]

Well there's Starfire. She's a Tameranian, long orange hair. Doesn't understand earth customs all that much. Always smiling.

Beastboy's green and can turn into animals. He tells really bad jokes and think's he's funny.

And Cyborg is half machine and says Booyah a lot. He also really likes cars.

Robin's here already. But he's older for some reason.

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

Hm. I haven't seen any of those people. But I promise to let you know if I do.

[Nina looks thoughtful when Raven says Robin is older.]

Yeah, that happens sometimes. This place can take people from different times. Different places. Different points in their lives. It's very confusing.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Just a little. I'm used to him being about fifteen, he's my "father" here.

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

That's a big jump! But hey, at least this way he can tell you what your future holds, right?

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

I suppose.

[Only he's not from her world.]
