sidecars: (if I ever take shit)

I Wish I Had a Castle in the Sky ( OPEN )

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: All over America
WHEN: Nov. 14th-24th
WHAT: The Cosmic Cube is creating multiple realities for all the imPorts. Where are these "universes" coming from and who is wielding it? Are you strong enough to withstand the temptation of a new reality and thwart this misguided attempt at happiness?
WARNINGS: N/A

Hey, Davis! Did you move anything? I've got that Barnes kid's stuff logged. [ He has a digital tablet propped up on a clean, steel table full of plastic bags and baskets filled the different paraphernalia. It's rather reminiscent to an experience in the American security line at the airport. One such basket belongs to James Buchanan Barnes. ] Think something's missing. Says six item's logged, but only—Davis?

[ The man was right there a second ago, wasn't he? Looking around there's no signs John Davis had been there at all, except for in his memory. Shit, has he been talking to himself this whole time? Well, it isn't anything important. The string bean isn't going to miss one dumb little paperweight or whatever it was.

Little does he know just how powerful it is... ]



[ John spares no time or energy leaving Cap Canaveral. He doesn't even put up his cleaning cart before he's zipping through security at the blink of an eye. People've been calling him crazy for so long it's isolated him from the regular rhythm of society, but it's all been worth it for this chance. He will be a hero finally, just like the rest of the imPorts he idolizes. People will start to think twice about him and everyone else with powers. They will have the rights they need to protect this country and keep the Commies out.

This is the energy driving him to hold a dangerous item in his possession. He doesn't know a whole lot about it, only what he's gleaned from gossip rags and conspiracy theory websites. But it's worth the chance to find himself in prison, or worse. In the security of his lonely little apartment he holds the Cube in his hands as it pours out tremendous power. Without words it becomes in tune with his inner self and his wishes. It feeds off of it to create something more than itself. In his world imPorts will have just what they want, whatever it is, however contradictory.

But in truth, what good can come out of a thief too wrapped up in his own fantasies? That is no hero, and John cannot truly control the power he is playing with. As it feeds, the air around him turns hot—too hot to even breath. It's like the oxygen is burning up before it reaches his lungs. The world around him begins to fade as he holds on for dear life, but in the end his consciousness is snuffed out; a small sacrifice for a new world. ]

Open/netnavi:
[ Skeets slips easily into the role of a navi. After all, he was already an AI who was a human's companion. But in this version his hologram/copybot looks like a chubby gold boy with a round helmet with fins and dark goggles. And his name is GoldMan.

His human is Booster, of course. To natives unaffected by the bubble it looks like Skeets is talking to himself, but in the Battle Network AU there's a cheerful Booster Gold -- or at least, Skeets' idea of Booster. They've been together for ages now.

Regardless of where you run into him, Skeets will nod politely.
] Hello. How are you?

Distortion:
[ Skeets doesn't know this other netnavi, and it's a bit odd how bright he is. But he's friendly and Skeets is polite. ]

Is there something I should be enjoying?

...This world, of course. [ It's the world he belongs in, the world that he wants to go back to. The one he misses desperately. ] Do you like it, being here?

[ What an odd question. Skeets has to consider it a second. But him and Booster have fun -- isn't that all that matters? ]

I think I do. What about you?

It's...all right. [ An odd thing to say, in a bright and happy world like this. But it is all right, maybe.

Though the vague distortions, sounds not sounding the way they should, colours flickering in and out - doesn't make it entirely pleasant.
] ...Good enough, I suppose.

Your operator means a lot to you, don't they? [ They're a recognisable person, and that means it drew on memories of someone who existed. ]

[ There's something odd going on here, but Skeets doesn't really have the capability to understand exactly why there's distortions or what's causing it. It makes him cautious, and observes carefully. ]

Of course, sir. Booster is the best operator I could have.
