Intro Log

Who: Everyone!
What: Your first magical day
Where: Progress City Tranport Center
When: Right now
Warnings: None planned!



[Today you found a ticket to a theme park. It seems relatively normal, except that it reads: Lifetime Parkhopper Pass to Progress City. ”The Most Magical Pocket Dimension in the Multiverse!” This is not a theme park you have ever heard of, if you live in a world where theme parks are of the norm.

For some reason you’re drawn to the ticket. There’s something… magical in this piece of paper, and you can practically hear it calling out to you, and you feel compelled to pick it up. It’s strange, but it’s a piece of paper, what’s the worst that could happen?

However, the moment you pick it up, you feel yourself being pulled. There is nothing pulling you but there is an overwhelming sensation that something is pulling you by the chest into the ground. You don’t have time to process what’s going on before you suddenly fall over, the strange feeling going away the moment you hit the ground.

It takes a few moments for you to regain your bearings, but as you look up you are suddenly hit with the fact that, wherever you were before, you certainly aren’t there anymore. It appears to be a transport station of some sort, and a very sleek and new one at that. Monorails pass by the station every couple of minutes, with small, slower moving vehicles consistently move in and out of the center.

The innermost wall, right behind where you stand, is lined with portals. It appears that you came in through this portal, but if you try to go back the way you came in, you’ll find that you are unable to enter it, no matter how hard you try.

While the realization that you are now trapped in this strange place, you will soon find that you also have a strange band strapped to your dominant wrist. No matter how hard you try to take it off, it seems like it’s stuck on there.

At least you’re not alone, along with a bunch of other people who arrived around the same time you did, there are humanoid people who seemed to be intrigued by your arrival. They’re all generally nice, but get confused if you ask them why you’re here and why you can’t leave. They will, however, happily tell you the name of the place you’re in if you ask:

Progress City.]

[One minute he was declaring about the joys of being an overworked, underpaid employee to his favorite two said employees, the next he's in a strange world with huge metal doohickeys and very ugly looking fish looking at him strange. What, has nobody seen a crab out of water before?

Wait a minute. He's out of water.
Once he realizes he's on dry land, he begins to panic, tugging desperately at his shirt collar to get air into his gills, suddenly unable to breath. He frantically looks around for the ocean, but there's not a body of water in sight. Oh god, is this how it ends for him? Not even one last kiss to his money before he goes out? He Won't see his assets grow exponentially with his daughter? What a cruel world!

He slumps dramatically against the portals with the back of one of his gloved hands pressed against his forehead, clearly fine and able to breath but also quite sweaty from the heavy LARPing he's doing.]

[oh what the fuck his ex is here now

Y'know, normally it'd be absolutely hilarious to see Krabs just completely freaking out like this, but. It's only really funny if Plankton's responsible, and this time he isn't.

That plus the fact that he doesn't even understand what prompted this level of panic means that he ends up just staring at Krabs from several feet away, entirely bewildered.]


What are you doing?

[he scrambles up and off the floor, brushing his hair back with his fingers, wiping his pants down, popping his collar, then proceeds to pose cooly against the portal.]

Well Plankton, I'm minding my own business. What are you doing?

[haha nice save.]

[jesus christ

He crosses his arms, both thoroughly unimpressed and not buying it, and that's probably clear in just how much smug energy he's radiating as he looks judgmentally at Krabs.]


Minding my own business, same as you. And at least I was being quiet about it.

I don't know what you're talking about, I was inspecting this here-- [he knocks on the portal twice] tin can. I'm assuming this is the way we got here.... but, seeing you here make's me suspicious why I'm here.

[if it's another one of his evil plans to take his formula or, idk, give him even more reason to wallow in depression, then he'll have to stop him eventually. depression be damned. ]

[personal profile] andbegone 2018-04-03 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Right. ""Inspecting"".

[sure, jan. He honestly doesn't care that much about that, though, he's still just upset that they're both here to begin with and really doesn't like having the blame pushed onto him wrongly when he's this fed up. Besides, he always takes credit for his schemes. This clearly wasn't his doing.]

Sorry, Krabs, but I didn't have anything to do with it this time. [You know. For once.] What, you really think I'd go and trap myself in the same place as you? If you're looking for someone to blame you'll have to go point your big meaty claws elsewhere.

[hypocrite. these beauts sure did attract you at some point coughcough ANYWAY--

he just doesn't trust this small green man. not anymore at least. he's been tricked and conned by him for so long, it's become a habit to place the blame on him when things go missing from his office. this time however, it looks like they're in the same boat. god, he should've kept up the whole 'needing water' schtick, he was getting so much attention from it.]


Your plans do tend to go south a lot, y'know. [he just squints at him from his spot. he won't trust him, yeah. but he seems genuine about it too.] Alright, I'll bite. Where are we? [and why didn't you respond to him in character when we met plankton what have we told you about breaking character geez]

[he only ever hooked up with you for your formula don't you dare let yourself think otherwise]

They do not. They all would've succeeded exactly as planned if you hadn't gotten in my way. [Every. Single. Time.] But if I knew the answer to that I would've gotten OUT of here already. You think I'm hanging around here for the scenery? No one's given me the answers I've demanded of them!

[we aren't in bikini bottom anymore, he doesn't have to larp with you and he's not gonna]

[that's fake but we're still legally married so whats the truth]

They do. Even when I'm not involved they do. [like the lord of the sea doesn't even want you to succeed] Well maybe if you asked these fine.. [actually they're all still quite ugly] these decent folks nicely... have you ever thought of that? being nice?
andbegone: (49)

[personal profile] andbegone 2018-04-03 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[people marry for lots of reasons and sometimes it's to steal a burger recipe]

If you weren't involved then you don't know if they succeeded or not. So there.

[it's. weird. to actually have something to talk to Krabs about again (even if it's just the fact that they've both ended up who-knows-where with no explanation), because there's nothing to steal right now. it's easy enough to still argue with him but also it's deeply unsettling to just like. not be out for his entire career at this very second.]

And no, I haven't thought of being nice. I am not nice. I'm an evil genius. I really didn't take you for one to ask such stupid questions, Krabs.
thekrabcycle: (10)

[personal profile] thekrabcycle 2018-04-04 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yes yes an evil genius you are we get it, but you used to be nice you know..

[and then all you cared about was getting your tiny mitts on me secret formula, but lets not get into that right now. He still has no clue where the heck they are and the heat is beginning to agitate him, moreso than he is being around his ex again. His boxing gloves are also beginning to feel heavier and warmer inside the longer he wears them-- oh? there's some kind of silicone band around his meaty wrist, and looking at Plankton he seems to be wearing one of a different color too. Maybe he should take his own advice and.. be nice to him? the guy won't change for anything so he might as well make his time here worth it with as little arguing as possible.]


Well. Nicer. You need to open your self up more.

[Ah, by giving him life advice. got it.]

andbegone: (41)

[personal profile] andbegone 2018-04-04 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I did not. I've never been nice.

[That's. Not necessarily a lie. Except that he used to be nice to Krabs because they were friends (his only friend), before Krabs had gone and ruined that like he ruins everything to this very day. He doesn't exactly like being reminded of that, especially by him, and if Krabs was hoping for any sort of response other than embitterment he's gonna be real disappointed.]

And I am not going to sit here and take life advice from you! Not now and not ever.

[It's hard to get any more worked up than just bitter annoyance, though, and he belatedly realizes he doesn't even know how to talk to Krabs anymore when he isn't yelling at him or trying to take something from him. He dislikes it immensely.]

You know what, forget it. Why don't you just go back to whatever you were doing before?

Oh, yes. Choke. I know. The turkey legs are enormous.

[dw bud he gets it]

[personal profile] thekrabcycle 2018-04-04 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Turkey legs?

[but oh this guy's good. this guy sure looks like he larps for days. oh he's a fan now.]

[personal profile] itsthecount 2018-04-04 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[krabs x olaf, or: kraf. he's out to steal your man, sheldon.]

This place sells massive turkey legs, I suspect that they're emu.
