Our unlikely heroes were enjoying a happy day at Anime North before something incredibly strange happened. A screech so loud that it shook the whole convention building rent the first West Wing bathrooms straight out of it's dimension, our heroes still inside it. The bathrooms and their contents were shot through the throes of dimensional travel, knocking anyone inside on every surface.

 

Then it stopped.

 

The dimensional travelling washrooms have reached its destination, leaving our heroes shaken but otherwise unharmed. The washroom is a mess, the water being drained out during the dimensional travel. As our heroes attempt to get back on their feet, a peaceful and anticlimatic three tone ringing similar to what was heard in subways sounded.

 

"We apologize for the inconvenience. Your general area has fallen through a fault in the dimensional fabric of the universe. The Interdimensional Watchers Union has repaired the tear, but were unable to bring you back before you fell through. According to conservative estimates and calculations, we have determined that another portal will be able to be brought to your current dimension in the time of three of your current planet's days. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience, and have a nice day," said a disembodied and pleasant female voice on what sounded like invisible P.A. speakers before the same three note ringing played in reverse.

 

The washroom is destroyed and on a 45 degree angle. The doorway is on the opposite side of the room, the door blown right off. One cannot walk straight up due to the mix of water, soap and human excrement spilt and spread across the floor. The stalls are to the right, offering possibility of climbing up, but it will be an ardous task. The sinks are to the left, but won't offer too much help in the climb.

[Shadow Zero]

Shadow ended up being knocked unconscious as a result of the bathroom having fallen through the dimensional rift, but was able to keep from having to much of the force of the blow hitting his head by twisting his body in a slow forward moving somersault just before being thrown to the wall behind him. As a result, he was able to become conscious within the first ten or so minutes after the bathroom had finally landed, and was only a little surprised to find that the bathroom was sitting on it's corner. "Oh great." Shadow groaned as he let his back rest on the wall behind him with his feet on the floor, taking a couple of minutes to steady himself before moving away from the wall.

His full name is Ranmyaku Shadou, and as his namesake (or nickname) of Shadow suggested, he was currently wearing an outfit not unlike what Shadow the Hedgehog would be wearing in his human form. A leather Jacket with flames on the bottom edge of it, a black short sleeved shirt, and a pair of black jeans with the type of bracelets, anklets, and shoes that Shadow the Hedgehog wears was his current outfit, and although he had been out for the first ten minutes in this new dimension, he thought he could remember some disembodied female voice like what you would hear over a P.A. system saying something about the bathroom returning after three days of this current planets time. Well, this is a perfectly inconvenient situation that you've managed to land yourself in, Shadow old boy.

Having stayed perfectly still for a few minutes, Shadow places an arm against the wall and starts to push himself up a bit so that he is sitting straight up with one leg pulled up and the other straight out with the foot placed on the floor. Well...now what? He thinks to himself as he quickly sets his mind to the task of what to do in this type of situation. If he was honest with himself, he had absolutely no idea as to what the lay of the land was like, so the first move was the obvious one of getting out of the bathroom and seeing exactly where they had all been landed.

[Guest TheFinalFan]

"Eeeeewww!" Daniel cried out as he realized what exactly he was stepping in at the bottom of the bathroom. "I'm getting clean and dirty at the same time!" He then looked around to see a bunch of other convention-goers in the tilted bathroom. He went over to one of the others, Shadou, he remembered, and nudged him. "Hey. Did you hear that odd PA announcement? I didn't even know they had a PA system in the bathrooms! And check out this wicked prank! They tilted the bathrooms at an angle! Must be one of those new theme-park rides, right?"

[Spirit of DMG]

"Okay, I must have hit my head many more times than I thought I did. And at least twice as hard." Steve said as he finished listening to the disembodied voice. He looked at his pistol, and put it back where he kept it. "I never want to do that again. If I get back, I am never going to go back to Anime North. Not if this is what happens. And to think, all I wanted to do was snap a few pictures idiots who have nothing better to do than cosplay as their favorite anime characters. I could do that at home." he finished as he remembered that's exactly what he was. He got up off the floor, and made the mistake of looking down. He said nothing, and looked away immediately. He looked around, and tried to climb up on the stalls. He almost made it half way to the door, then ended up falling flat on his back. And his pistol. Again. He heard a click. "I have never been so thankful of being unable to afford ammunition for this thing." he said, taking out his pistol and rubbing the part of his back right below it.

[Guest TheFinalFan]

Daniel went over to...umm...uhh.....

"Hey! Photo guy! What's up?" The slightly-overweight college-bound kid greeted the photographer by shaking his hand. "Wait a second...aren't you Donovyn on deviantART?!? I'm a huge fan of your photos! The one you did of Malidachan as Dark Signer Carly and Ex-Shadow as Jack Atlas is one of my favorites! You know? 'Forbiddn Love'?" He then whipped out a copy of that photo, showing a cosplayer as the eponymous Carly duling a Jack cosplayer. "Will you sign it, please?"

[Spirit of DMG]

"Uhhh...sure, why not?" he said, taking the photo from Daniel. and taking a pen out of his pocket. He rubbed the tip around the photo until it began to mark. He handed the photo back to Daniel, the message read Kai Takiichi, don't call me out again, or I will hurt you. No joke. "Well, have fun," he said attempting to climb on the sinks, which broke as soon as he put his weight on them, just barely avoiding landing on his gun a third time. "Oh, are you kidding me!?" he shouted, squatting down, puffing out his right cheek, and resting his head on his left hand, putting that elbow on that knee, resting his right arm on that leg.

[Guest TheFinalFan]

Daniel then noticed the gun, and saw Steve climb up the sinks, and everything clicked into place. "Hey! Wait a minute!" Daniel carefully climbed up to Steve. "You know, all of this water flowing from the sinks is making this side of the floor very slippery and frictionless. Conversely, the opposite side of the room is just as slick with...well...you know...But the middle is relatively dry, but relative is the key word."

Daniel then pointed to the top, and did a few rough calculations in his head.

"I saw a fire extinguisher on the way in, along with a fire hose. If someone can get up to the top, they might stand a chance of getting better traction on the carpeting outside the bathroom, and be able to lower us down the fire hose to get all of us up, but I think we need at least 5 people to get a sixth up there to the carpeting."

[Shradow]

Daisuke felt like he had been thrown off a roller coaster. His head hurt where he had fallen and made contact with a, ugh, urinal. He was slathered in an unknown liquid, probably more than one, and when he managed to stand up, he was a tad woozy. He looked around the bathroom to see several other con-goers. He scanned his surroundings and the entire bathroom was in shambles. He pulled out his pocketwatch and clicked it open. Let's see what time it is... When he looked at its immoving hands, he shook it a little, with a puzzled look on his face. "It froze." he said simply to himself.

[Shadow Zero]

Ranmyaku looked over at everyone scrambling around and had to struggle to keep from scoffing. Quite aside from having decided that he was going to stay in character as Shadow the Hedgehog, it seemed to him as though the people here were all acting like complete and total morons. "Tch, you guys are total amateurs. Still, the idea about the hose bears some merit." Now that he had recovered enough, Shadow grabbed the front end of the stall door area that separate one stall door between another and then braced himself against the back wall before jumping at the same time as he pulled with his arms so as to get him out of the stall. As he finished exiting it, he did a three-sixty sideways flip to the left side of the stall before landing on the wall area between the stall doors, one foot on the wall piece, and one foot on the floor. "So, we just need that hose, huh? Well then, if you're going to form a human ladder, then start doing it." Shadow folded his arms as he said this, making it painfully clear to everyone in the room by his words and actions that he was not going to be one of the ones that would form the human ladder.

[賢狼ホロ]

Sasahara Yuuto came to around the sink where he had been washing his face before the "incident". With his fingertips he located the pulsing bump at the back of his head. Some words of pain silently passed his lips. As he tried to stand up in the tilted washroom, he had to use the sink which still was quite intact.

The scene was... to put it nicely, grotesque. At least the others involved seemed to be all right. His tinted sunglasses had survived in his breast pocket of the vest, he put them on to shelter himslef from the sight. He let out a sigh. What had he gotten himself into?

As he took a step he tripped over something and landed hard. With eyes closed he rose, fixed the sunglasses, fixed his vest, took out a napkin, dried his hands, put the napkin back and sighed deeply. It was then he relized what he had tripped over. It washis grey messenger bag. It was drenched in things he would rather not mention. A weak sound emitted from his wide-open mouth: "... aaa..." Was everything he had bought on the con... destroyed? Soiled? Was his Cecily soiled?!

He fell on his knees, and with shaking hands he opened the zipper, millimetre per millimetre. Holding his breath, he peered into the darkness. He could see the objects. Three dojinshis, the fan, the black T-shirt and the microfibre pouch with a sparkling water PET bottle in it. All in the franchise of the Sacred Blacksmith. Also, all safe.

"HA HA HA!" he laughed mightly and stood up, closing the zipper. After he had put his bag back on, he should never had left beside the sink from the beginning, he snapped his right hand fingers and pointed at an imaginary sky. "Waterproof bag! Hahahahahah!"

[Shadow Zero]

Shadow noticed that another person seemed to have woken up from an unconscious slumber and decides to do a bit of jumping over on the stall wall segments between the open stall doors. Upon reaching the stall wall segment closest to where the most recent person to come to was, he stands with his feet on the floor and rests his back on the stall wall segment. "Well, you seem to be doing fairly well, although you look to have been drenched in something." Shadow then subsided into silence for a few second as the person (Sasahara, if he remembered correctly from an earlier encounter in which he had said little) rifled through his backpack as though to make sure that everything inside of it was still all right. Once he had finished rifling through it, Shadow shifted his weight a bit and said "It's a little surprising to see you standing in that area of the floor easily enough though, seeing as it's now tilted at a forty five degree angle. Perhaps it's relatively dry compared to the other side of the room?" Shadow climbs up the stall wall a bit, using it in place of the floor before launching himself off of it and running over to the sink where Sasahara was. Finding that the sink was quite stable and the floor was dry enough, he raises a hand to his mouth and half shouts "Hey guys, over here! This area seems to be drier then where you tried climbing before."

[Skuldur]

Light finally awoke when he heard the loud laughter of that Japanese guy. He slowly opened his eyes and rubbed the back of his head, which had been bruised by the apparent impact. Apparently, he had been hit worse than those guys but that wasn't going to stop him, he looked around him to see a bunch of people talking about non-important matters. What mattered now was to get out. He stood up and noticed that the room was tilted. He wondered why no one had tried to get out of here.

 

The pain in the back of his head was starting to fade. He looked up and saw that the doorway was on the other side of the room. He walked over to the sinks and, using his deductive skills, figured that someone might be able to get up there.

 

"Is anyone here athletic enough to climb these sinks?"

[Guest TheFinalFan]

"Don't even think about it." Daniel replied, motioning to the broken sinks. "People have tried, and failed. I currently have a plan that involves a good amount of cooperation, and I am looking for the lightest person in the room. The plan is to make a human ladder up to the top of the bathroom, and get someone to grab a fire hose just outside the room. That person can then send down the fire hose for everyone else to climb up." Daniel extended a hand. "You in?"

[Spirit of DMG]

"Not only did I fail, Ii failed epically, and broke the sink." Steve said, pointing to the broken sink. "Though, he seems to have a decent plan," he added, pointing to Shadow, who had just shouted about that area being relatively dry. He once more made his way to the stall, and began climbing up to the second wall. He almost fell three times, and then made an effort to launch himself into the second stall from the wall, and landing once more on his pistol. "Hey, guy-with-the-photograph!" he said, referencing Daniel, "Can you tell me why I carry this gun around, and why I keep it where I do?" he said, as used the toilet in the stall to attempt to climb over to the third stall. He fell, and landed, guess where. On his pistol, again, and heard a second click. "What in the friggin' world!?" he shouted, eyes tearing up with pain.

[Shradow]

Daisuked looked around at the people trying out a plan. He stayed to himself, mostly, and didn't really know any of the people he saw. Then he noticed that everything he was looking at had a orange tinge, and everything was blurry as well. He reached for his face to find his pair of sunglasses built off of Kamina's. He took them off and replaced them with his normal glasses, sighing with relief. At least they're not broken. He then realized he still wore a small pack to hold his various trinkets. He quickly checked inside and saw that everything was okay. He then turned his attention to the person who suggested the plan. "Can I help?"

[Guest TheFinalFan]

Daniel just stared at him, raising an eyebrow in bewilderment. "Why would I know? Besides, you aren't allowed firearms in the building anyways. Didn't you get your bag checked?" Daniel then turned around to talk to Light some more, but then he remembered something, but quickly lost his train of thought when he realized he could've made a witty remark about guns, but he recovered and remembered what he was going to say. "And by the way, would you like to be part of my human ladder plan?"

[Marisa Kirisame-ze]

It was Manami's fourth anime convention she had attended and the only thing on her mind when the bathroom went into a blast was the first, second, and third time she had been a joyful attendee to the same convention without any conflict. Now there seemed to be more than a simple conflict that any manga or anime storyline could produce.

 

In the women's restroom, despite her crossplaying, she ducked her head as she heard the explosion and crawled herself by the sinks, where her head could be protected if anything on the ceiling were to collapse. As the blast wore down, she noticed that the bathroom was completely destroyed, but Manami kept herself to the walls of the sink, not wanting to fall through the destruction of the blast she was facing.

 

"No way, no way, no way, no way," her mind wasn't at peace, nor could she take in what had happened so suddenly, "Is the rest of my group alright?" She thought about the people who had rescued her from the adoption house, the same people who brought her to the convention every year.

 

As her heart beat rose to an untrackable pace, she heard chatter from the other side of the wall; the men's bathroom.

[Shadow Zero]

Shadow turned around and put some of his weight on the wall next to him, since he was all the way on the opposite side of where the door was, and started thinking about the quickest way to get out of here. He really didn't like being trapped, and that was getting the better of his more rational and caring side. After a few minutes (and hearing the others talking) his eyes suddenly snapped open and he was over come with the sudden urge to hit himself in the face. The floor was tilted at a forty five degree angle, but so was the wall. Running isn't going to be enough to make it. On the other hand....... Shadow edged over to the back wall that was now an impromptu part of the ceiling are by virtue of its current relationship with the ground beneath it, and sat on the floor, pulling back on the bottom area of his shoes. As he pulled on the bottom area of each of his shoes, they eventually snapped into place, revealing what looked to be holes from where five giant ball bearing shaped wheels came out until they were almost half way out and on the ground. He then did the same thing with the bottom area of the edges of each of his shoes which allowed several small ball bearing shaped wheels to come out. Having finished his preparations, Ranmyaku put his shoes on the floor and shouted "Everyone stay out of the way, I'm going to try something."

Without warning, he suddenly jumps up and starts skating down the floor, allowing gravity to do its work and jumping just before he would have ran into the toilet and skating up the wall on the other end. Using his momentum, he skated at an angle so as to be able to pass a few of the stall areas and then skated up to where there used to be a sink before it had broken off. Reaching the wall area, he again made a turning motion that allowed him to pass several of the stalls and repeated the first half of what he did before, skating first down the floor, then up across and down the wall, then up the floor again, going as fast as he could despite gravity and the wet floor working against him and barely making it far enough to get enough of his body onto the carpet so that he wouldn't fall again. Lying against the carpet, he used the arms to prop himself up a bit so as to see the others in front (or below?) him, and smiled saying in a perfectly matter of fact voice "So...where's the fire hose again?" He knew perfectly well that he could have shifted his weight so as to look behind him, but he didn't want to risk falling to the 'bottom' area of the bathroom again, and possibly getting himself hurt.

[Spirit of DMG]

"...Yeah...I had them checked." he said slowly. "It's part of my costume. Black Cat." he added at the same vocal speed. He tried standing of the edge of the toilet and slipped, landing on his head. "Stupid freaking wet shoes!" he said, trying it again, and managing to grab on to the top of the wall. He pulled himself up, with quite some difficulty, and fell to the other side, landing on his feet, barely. He then crawled over to the fairly dry spot in the middle of the room. "Fine, I'm in, I'll attempt being part of your human ladder." he said, squatting down in an attempt to avoid sliding down and eliminating all his hard work.

[Guest TheFinalFan]

((Shadow Zero, I took AP Physics recently, and what you did is impossible. One, the wall that you started on is 8-10 feet, maximum. Two, you couldn't possibly build up enough momentum to get up a 45-degree slope at least 20 feet long. And three, you would've lost most of your forward momentum getting across the pool at the bottom of this tilted bathroom.))

 

Daniel crouched down and motioned for Steve to get on top of his shoulders. "Don't worry about getting me dirty." He replied. "I've got spare clothes in my bag, which is waterproof. Sure, I'll probably smell for a few days, but at least we'll be out of this infernal bathroom, right?" He then saw Shadou try to run up to the top, only to fail, and knock himself out on a sink.

[Spirit of DMG]

"Oh wow," Steve said as he worked his way over to Daniel. He had some difficulty with the combination of the slippery floor and wet shoes. He slipped a couple of times, yet still somehow managed to make it. "I am never going to be able to get this smell out of this nice coat." he said out loud as he put his feet on Daniel's shoulders. He sighed he he succeeded. "Okay, now what? Anyone else want to join?" he said as loud as he could. He looked back over to the guy with the roller blade-shoes, and couldn't help but laugh. "(He probably thinks he's throwing the hose down at this point)" he thought. "Idiot." he said out loud "Wait, I meant to think that..."

[Shadow Zero]

Shadow suddenly seemed to be in pain for some reason and found himself lying on the floor towards the back of the bathroom. At first, he had trouble figuring out what happened, then suddenly remembered that he had attempted to get up to where the hose was, only to hit one of the sinks. Oh great...I must look a complete fool right now. Feeling more then just a little foolish, but not willing to let it show, he gets up and ignores the throbbing pain on his head. First making sure that he had his footwear set to 'walking mode', he hoisted himself out of one of the stalls again and looked over to where the others were starting to form their human ladder. "Well, my attempt has to reek of epic fail." Shadow said as he went over to the others, making a joke out of what he had just attempted. "Okay, so who's the lightest here? And more importantly, what are we going to do about whoever is in the girls bathroom? Their sure to be stuck as well, right?"

[Guest TheFinalFan]

"Well..." Daniel grunted, trying to keep Steve steady. "There's a similar fire-hose outside that room as well." He then saw that the others were looking at him funny, and replied. "What? I'm somewhat paranoid of dying in a horrible accident! It comes from watching WAY too many distaster movies. I like to know what parts of wherever I am are safe, such as this bathroom. Unfortunately, I wasn't expecting the con to go to such great lengths to trick a bunch of unsuspecting visitors. I mean, come on! Who honestly believes this crap about us falling into another dimension?!?"

[Spirit of DMG]

"Well, I guess that since there's sure to be at least one girl in the lady's room, we'll try to get them out. I guess someone's going to have to make sure no one else is trapped, and get them out. Guess I'll be the one who goes in and checks on that." he said, trying and not quite succeeding to make it sound like he was volunteering to dig ditches. He lowered his chin to his chest, and closed his eyes, attempting to look noble. He looked over to Shadow, "Well, are you going to stand there or get up on my shoulders?" he asked, "We need to get out of here before we can worry about saving anyone outside of this room, you know?"

[Shadow Zero]

Shadow looked over at Steve and gave what could only be as an angry stare, or glare. "I already told you that I absolutely refuse to be climbed on. At least, not unless there is someone here who is light then me, but that's the only exception. And stop trying to look all noble when you say that you're going to see if anyone who might be in the ladies room is all right. I think we all know that you're only hoping to run into a girl there who is wearing a skimpy cosplay outfit so that you can drool over her a bit." Shadow finishes jumping across the stall walls until he reached the area where the human ladder was being made and started muttering something about how you could never go to an anime convention without running into a massive amount of perverts.
