_{( This feed should probably open with a trumpeted fanfare, but, alas, it does not. Instead, it shows two women standing side-by-side, looking down at the device that the younger one—Crystal—is holding. Her face is half-amused, half-annoyed. Beside her is a slightly taller woman who is unmistakably related to her—Medusa. She just looks regal. Also probably annoyed. After a moment, Crystal starts talking. )}

I was brought here with a friend of mine, but he seems to have wandered off. I’m not worried—he does that a lot of the time, and it’s hard to keep him in one place. But if you do see a large dog approaching you, don’t worry. Lockjaw is quite tame. He does have a way of going from one place to the next very quickly, though, so if you don’t want to be taken along you shouldn’t get too close—

_{( She motions as though to continue, but Medusa gestures for the tablet and Crystal hands it over. )}

Lockjaw is the least of our worries. _{( GOSH CRYSTAL. Medusa has a lot of hair, and it moves ominously as she speaks. )} I am Queen Medusalith of the Inhumans and the Kree - my sister is Princess Crystalia. If there exists some form of authority here I demand an audience to arrange transport home. We cannot linger here, not when there are more important matters in our own universe.

_{( THAT'S RIGHT EARTH, YOU ARE SO COMPLETELY NOT IMPORTANT NO ONE CARES. )}

Sister. _{( There’s not warning in that so much as exasperation; haven’t we talked about this, Medusa? Some of us want to help, here. But she sighs, and as she does a small gust of wind fluffs her hair around her face. This is clearly not a conversation she’s going to have in public. )}

If you do encounter Lockjaw, please let us know. We will come fetch him from you.

_{( With that, the message cuts. Orange is Crystal, Red is Medusa. If you'd like to have you character encounter a giant, teleporting bulldog, feel free! That is also an option here. )}

[Adam sounds...very confused.]

What's a Kree?

[crystalia]

A people, as much as the humans of earth.

I doubt it matters much, in this time and place.

[medusalith]

They are defined by their inability to evolve and are exceptionally militaristic - perhaps one of the last great galactic empires.

( ACTION; )

[medusalith]

Now that we've finished that necessity, there's still the matter of our living arrangements.

[ They're not sharing rooms with other people, Crystal. They're just not. ]

[crystalia]

Going through the given channels isn't likely to get us anywhere. The woman giving explanations didn't care about protests.

[has_a_cult]

I, uh...I think I found your dog.

Nice doggie. Please don't eat me.

[A huge tongue licks the side of her head.]

Damnation!

[crystalia]

_{( she has to pause for a moment to hide a smile. )}

Thank you. I hope he hasn't been... too much trouble.

[medusalith]

He normally does not tarry long, nor does he eat people. But feeding him should rid you of him quickly if you do not wish to wait.

[nope

nope nope nope

Pete likes Crystal just fine, but he and Medusa haven't really gotten along since that little "oops my teammate kidnapped your sister from the throne room sry about that" incident. But they're Inhumans, they're powerful, and they're a known quantity.

And they're going to find out sooner or later he's here (sooner if Gamora rolls in with her usual sensitivity and tact), and appearing to be in hiding sends the wrong impression.]

If there's a way out of this universe, no one's found it yet.

[Oh look, ladies, it's the Inhumans' favorite human/Spartoi cross-breed.]

Star-Lord.

[ If Medusa had a list of people she wanted to see in this universe, there is no way that Peter Quill would have made the top ten, let alone the top fifty. Him and his incompetent team have only brought her grief and that is the absolutely last thing she needs more of at this moment.

Her hair flexes almost threateningly - as if she'd much rather have him withing striking distance just in case. ]

And how long have people been trying?

[ He is, at the very least, someone she'll gladly pry information out of. ]

[crystalia]

_{( oh it's you. she likes you, mostly. she blinks, then nods in way of recognition, and greeting. )}

I was worried that might be the case. I can't see why so many would still be here, otherwise.

_{( not that she doesn't get the altruism factor, but. it's a bit much. )}

[tyrians]

the fuck are inhumans yo

[crystalia]

Maybe if you phrased your questions better, we'd be more inclined to answer them.

permavoice as well

[medusalith]

You would do well to address us with respect.

Greetings, Lady Medusalith and Lady Crystalia. I am Thor, of Asgardia. [Thor has heard of the Inhumans- the ones who have much to do with the Fantastic Four on Earth.]

I have been attempting to speak with the powers who have brought us here, but have met with little success.


[ooc: oh god I'm so lame I tagged with the wrong tag and I don't know how to untag ;A; sorry]

[crystalia]

_{( ( no worries! ) )}

Thor? _{( she actually smiles at him. it's been awhile. )}

Are there other Avengers here, as well?

[medusalith]

Odinson, greetings. [ He gets a nod of respect, from one member of royalty to another. She's never personally met him, but word travels and everyone knows that he's one of the heaviest hitters in the universe. ] In that you have met with them and no answers have been given, or that they refuse even that courtesy?

[asskickersunite]

[Ok, so he caught the Medusa part of her name. Just in case, he's got the video settings turned off for now.]

What's so urgent you need to get to?

[medusalith]

I rule two races in my son's stead until he is of age, and supervise the rule of another one. Their well-being is my primary concern.

[ there's also a giant tear in the universe that is her husband's/her race's fault that's letting in eldritch abominations. but she's not aware of that detail yet. ]

[crystalia]

There are a number of things. But beyond that, we left many behind who need us.

[peaceinchaos]

[Oh god, suddenly ex-inlaws. She's happy to see Crystal, but she's never been entierly sure with Medusa. She's not entierly sure if they'll be very happy to see her, so her smile is tentative.]

Hello, your Highness. Crystal.

[crystalia]

Wanda. _{( there's a smile there. she really wanted to keep the sisters-in-law after the annulment, ok. )}

It's been awhile.

[medusalith]

Greetings, Wanda.

[ Because she's never had a problem with her, just her brother. And Medusa is familiar enough with differences between siblings to know that just because one is utterly worthless doesn't mean the other should be damned the same way. ]

I had heard you were among those brought here.

[maechtiger]

The Initiative seems to not give a damn if you're royalty or scum, they'll take and keep you all the same.

[crystalia]

In this case I think casting a wide net may be working against them.

[awarlock]

I have Lockjaw.

[He cares very little about your titles but he will return your family to you.]

[medusalith]

Shall my sister and I come fetch him from you?
