"That's how we kick it off. A band's gonna help get draw in targets. Especially Sex Bob-Omb and The Clash At Demonhead. Not sure what time it is, so for some of this, we'll have to wing it. But we catch Scott Pilgrim's attention, he brings Ramona Flowers to us. And keep an eye out for a little Asian chick named Knives Chau. She's some kind of crazy jailbait ninja or something, she and Scott were a thing."
Kris shrugged.
"If you're worried we won't wreck the place, don't sweat it. This place goes nuts at the drop of a hat.
To Touka the world on the other side of the unigate was pretty much what he was used to. A modern city with an emphasis on electronic media of various kinds. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad when you got right down to it! Talk of punching holes in the moon made him wonder what kind of training that vegan guy had had, but also made him more confident. His abilities would certainly work here, as well as those that went beyond sheer martial arts training.
"A band? I played a keytaur once if that helps," he offered hopefully, then motioned out at the city before them, "So we just go out and pick a fight with someone? Sounds like my universe... so where do we start?"

He frowned at the location the portal had dropped him off in.
"Hurry up, unpeople!"

"I think everyone's here who's coming," Max commented. He wasn't entirely comfortable with the beating up random strangers but well, if that was the price he paid. Plus if they could punch a hole in the moon surely they could heal some broken arms.
"You seem to know this city, lead on."
You must agree, my plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity! My Tumblr"I'm not an expert, but I've been here once or twice, so I may as well..."
Kris nodded.
"Right. Little girl, you're with me. Magic guy, gangster, stick behind us. Armor guy, cover the rear. anyone I'm forgetting, speak up, then get between armor guy and magic guy."
He took a few steps, then paused.
"If any of you have names, now would be the time to bring it up. Should be a pool hall or a biker bar in the next couple blocks."
Archibald paid no attention to the world around him. He was too busy performing donuts with his amazing, jet-powered chair. Round and round he went, he wouldn't stop. Burn marks remain where the wheels rip against the heated ground. Yes, yes, baby, he was a love machine to everything, including the ground.
Rrrrrrrtttttt
A loud screech noise leaves the location of where the wheels continue to spin and into the outside world where Archibald would interact with people.
"I am sexy."
"Uh, he's with us. Well came through the gate with us, I'm not sure he's completely with us." Max mumbled the second bit then continued, "Oh, introductions. Maxwell Hancock. Ex-DMLE turned CID."
You must agree, my plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity! My Tumblr"I thought about it, but it's just easier to get a bunch of pennies. And what would I call myself if I switched my gimmick to quarters? The Quarter Crook? The Quarter Culprit? It just doesn't have the same ring to it as Penny Plunderer. Any which way, you said we were going to find the local toughs, right?"
...and that's terrible."Of course quarters are good! Especially if you're the people who make the machine designed to eat them up!" Touka agreed with a kind of sarcastic enthusiasm. This was replaced by actual enthusiasm when the local guy, Kris, asked everyone to introduce themselves. Not one to miss such an opportunity to make a scene, Touka struck a victory pose; one hand on his hip, the other in a 'v for victory' gesture held to his forehead like a salute.
"Touka Kasugano, World Warrior, expert fighter and generally adorable!" he proclaimed, then dropped the pose and smiled perkily, "Good luck everybody!"
As an afterthought, he mentioned, "Yeah, we find some local toughs and beat them senseless for no reason. Sounds a lot the tournament... anyway, I guess I'm with you, huh Kris?"

Music was the main form of conflict? Hm, unfortunately for him, music wasn't his thing. Couldn't play an instrument as far as he knew, either. Perhaps his usefulness would be limited in this situation...
"So, are we going to do these music-off's sometime soon or what?" Saxen asked dully. The sooner they got to his universe, the better.
"Not yet, Saxon.... That is your name, right? Anyhow, first we need instruments. So we beat people up and get money. I think most of you can learn to play... There's a lot of bands, so it's worth a shot. Then we use our band to lure in our enemies for a final showdown. But don't worry if we just have a piano and a keytar. Music's one way we fight here, but it's not the only way."
Kris led the group to the local, well, it turned out to be a pool hall and a biker bar. Convenient.
He grinned.
"I was thinking you could be the Quarter Master, but if you insist on shortchanging yourself, Coyne, your loss."
He cracked his knuckles.
"Bruce, Max, you find somewhere with a good view in case we need cover fire. Penny Plunderer, you and Saxon get ready to jump in."
A smile crossed his face.
"As for you, Touka? You're my new kid sister. Let's make it rain."
And with that, he kicked in the door, a manic grin on his face.
"Let's start this show."
(Roxas, how do you want to handle fights? Should we just beat up on bikers and pool sharks in our own ways, or do you want to have some sorta system?)
Dessan remained her quiet self when the rest of the team eagerly planned. This big and scary place was beyond her wildest imagination—-everything here was plain insane.
She noted in mind not to ask about anything or she would appear to be an idiot. Unfortunately, she did seem like one.
Sure, she knew how to play an instrument, but an ocarina? Most people take that as something they could spit into.
╮(╯_╰)╭

"So wait, the plan is to find some punks and get into a fight, then find some instruments and form a band?"
