Harry had been heading back home when someone had called to him, or to who he assumed was him. It was the nickname that had registered first in his brain, before anything else. The alias that his Father used for the Marauders map. He also recognized Sirius immediately. Though he was a lot younger than Harry had ever known him, it was clearly him, Harry had seen enough photos to know what his Dad and his friends looked like at his age. “No, I’m not, but trust me- I get that a lot. I’m his son, Harry Potter.”

The man’s jaw nearly dropped to the ground as the words hit his ears. “Ha- Harry? You’re Harry?” he asked, stopping in his tracks. This world had to have some kind of magic if this was Harry Potter, not to mention that he seemed to know that he was James’s son. “But... But last time I saw you, you were a small lil thing, and how?” he asked, completely befuddled by his current situation. Sirius had seen a lot of strange things in his time, but for some reason, this seemed to top them all.

“how old do I fucking look?”

the last time Richie had tried to get into a bar they basically gave him VIP access to everything. and maybe that was because he was somewhat famous but here? apparently he didn’t look old enough. this place had to be some type of hell because all he wanted to do was drink. 

“can someone get me a drink?”

The man’s frustration was probably more amusing to her than it should have been, but Velma was too tired to care. Shaking her head, she just looked over at him. “Do you want me to ask for you?” she asked with a small chuckle. “Or do you at least have your id on you?”

❝ 𝙇𝙊𝙊𝙆, 𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙎 𝙈𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏 sound stupid, but do you offer some kind of self defense classes… for the less… agile of people ? ❞cheeks flushed a shade of pink, hand rubbing the back of his neck in a nervous fashion. okay, maybe he was going a bit too far with this, especially regarding the fact that it was fairly late into the evening. but new york when it was covered in a blanket of darkness ? it was 𝙎𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙔, and in his eyes, when all the sinister characters came out to play. it might be a stereotypical notion, but he couldn’t help his… fear of being attacked, or something like that. i’m not good at holding myself. but, i can 𝙇𝙀𝘼𝙍𝙉 ! i think. please say i can learn that kind of shit. ❞

The question caused Sokka to take yet another step back. Had he hit the man that hard? “Uh.. yeah. I do actually,” he said, scratching his head as he looked the other over. He could definitely see why he might want to learn, but as tired as he was, he just hadn’t been expecting the conversation. “Uh... okay. Sure. I mean, I’m done for the day, but... here,” he said, reaching for his wallet to take out a business card. “If you want to stop by some time tomorrow, I can get you all squared away.”

𝙉𝙀𝙒 𝙔𝙊𝙍𝙆 𝘾𝙄𝙏𝙔. 𝙄𝙏 was her home. well, coney island was at least. close enough, they were basically next door neighbors. ❝you know, mista j and me - we used to 𝙍𝙐𝙉 gotham city. this place ? piece’a cake. ❞while not necessarily the complete truth, new york couldn’t be that bad. at least here, she could wreak havoc undetected. at least for a while, anyway. her criminal record was 𝙋𝙍𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙄𝘾𝘼𝙇𝙇𝙔 wiped clean. ❝ where ‘bouts we heading ? we’re pals now, right ? and pals got’s to hang out together, ❞the blonde paused, glancing behind her for just a second to shoot a grin to her new companion. they would not have a choice, they either came willingly, or she would drag them 𝙁𝙊𝙍𝘾𝙀𝙁𝙐𝙇𝙇𝙔. ❝ooh ! what about this place ? this. is. adorable ! ❞she hurried over to stand in front of a building with the appearance of being a dingy, run down club. red neon lights lit up the sidewalk, flickering weakly every once in a while. to the average bystander, it didn’t look like much. perhaps even completely 𝘼𝙑𝙊𝙄𝘿𝘼𝘽𝙇𝙀. but to harley, it was simply enchanting. what could she say ? she was a woman who was easy to please.

Casper only left the bar to get some fresh air and try to see the city a little more. While he wanted to find friends, he hadn’t expected to find one so quickly, especially one who seemed to really like him. The excitement flooded through him, and as she spoke, he mostly just nodded. She seemed a bit more extreme than anyone else he had ever met, but he kind of liked that about her. As he followed her around, the sight of the rundown building was the first thing to make him actually pause and question her sanity. “Adorable for what exactly?” he asked curiously, finally speaking up. It looked like it was going to be more of a mob hideout if he had to guess right now, so he wasn’t entirely sure what she might want with a place like this.

The former mermaid had certainly heard of these things called books but it wasn’t like she could have one underwater. Ariel had been too busy to take much notice of them the first time she had gained legs to meet Eric, so now seemed like the perfect time. It most certainly wasn’t as easy as she thought it would be to understand what was in them. A soft huff leaving her as she rotated the book several times, trying to see if it made more sense that way. Ariel glanced up at the woman, offering a soft smile. “I uh… I’m trying to understand this book. I don’t think it makes any sense. I’ve tried a few other’s and they don’t either.” She admitted.

A small escape of laughter crossed her lips as Susan did her best to continue smiling without making it appear like she was laughing at the woman. “Has anyone ever taught you how to read?” she finally asked once she composed her thoughts enough to form the words. “Books can be rather hard to read if you’ve never been taught,” she told her as kindly as she knew how.

Remus could most certainly be out there doing more exciting things, that was for sure. He could be out in pubs. He could be clubbing. But even without the wolf; he was still the same old nerdy Remus. The man who preferred to be reading than drinking. So he was rather content in sitting in a library with a book in his lap. He shook his head and offered a kind smile towards the woman. “Of course not! Please, I’d appreciate the company, actually. I’ve probably been alone most the day now.”

“Thank you,” she smiled in response and sat opposite him while she placed her newly found book on her lap. “Alone alone or alone with your books?” the bookworm asked delicately. One answer would result in sympathy while the other would result in joy of finding a kindred spirit. “Can I ask what you’re reading?” she asked with a smile.

Bev was happy to meet anyone who allowed her to create for them. No matter what item of clothing it was; she was beyond excited. Which was why she had been sketching out many ideas as she waited to hear back from Maverick. The redhead beamed at the greeting, bowing her head in way of greeting. “Thank you very much!” She stepped inside and cradled her sketchpad to her chest. “I just wanna start of with.. Thanks for letting me design for you. If you’re not happy with any of these designs, I won’t be offended!”

Maverick immediately scoffed at her words. “Do you know why some call me Hatter?” he asked, raising an eyebrow in her direction. “There has never been a hat I didn’t like,” he confessed with a grin, eager to see what she had designed. “I want to see them all! I’ll probably buy them all too,” he added, gesturing over to the wall along the back of his shop that displayed a rather messy showcase of his entire hat collection.

One of the convenient things about his skill set was being able to fix anything at a moments notice. With his bike breaking down at a moment’s notice, Anakin was able to just push it over to the side of the road as opposed to taking it all the way to a shop. He made a point to try to find an alley to work in so that he was more out of the way, but there still seemed to be quite a few people who were staring at him as they passed by. In his own little world, he actually never would have noticed any of them had one not spoken up. “Am I entertaining to you?” he replied with a scoff.

Sirius was still getting used to American food, but it’s wasn’t too bad so far. Today, he was making his way to a barbeque place he had heard about the other day. The idea of some good meet sounded absolutely fantastic right now, and Sirius was anxious to be there. When he got to the space, his nose was immediately impressed. He was sure that had he still had all of his dog-like senses, he’d be even more impressed, but he’d have to do with his human nose for now. Sniffing in the air as he walked to the register, Sirius stepped almost too close to the woman who was ordering in front of him. It was enough to get a whiff of her scent as well which was what caused him to back up. “Smells good,” he muttered, just loud enough for her to here. Whether he was talking about her or the food was going to be up to her to decide.

♡ ˙ paris berelc, she/her, twenty-one / VELMA DINKLEY  has been displaced !! originally from SCOOBY-DOO, SHE/HER has found themselves in new york city, WITHOUT their memories . on the SCREEN, they come across as OBSERVANT, WITTY, HYPER-FOCUSED, & UNSOCIABLE . we’ll see if their MARKS FROM HER GLASSES ON HER FACE WHERE SHE FELL ASLEEP ON A BOOK WHILE READING, CRIME SHOWS, & THE COLOR ORANGE personality will be their downfall or their saving grace in these streets.

Without her memories, Velma doesn’t remember anything of Mystery, Inc or the mysteries they solved. If she were to come across some of them, she’d probably sense that feeling of knowing they were going to be important to her somehow, but otherwise, she wouldn’t think anything of it. 

As a junior in college, Velma is studying computer science. She has known for a while that technology is becoming more and more influential in this society, so she decided that by learning as much as she could about the internal workings of computers, the more she would be able to figure things out in a pinch later. The logistics in many of her classes also carry into other areas of her life, such as hacking that she claims isn’t illegal if it’s being done with the right intentions.

Velma is on the harder side to get along with as she never thinks that anyone can match her intellect. If she does deem someone worthy of a conversation, then she will likely latch onto them in case she ever needs another human perspective. Though, she will never fully trust a human the way she does computers and logic.

Wanted Connections: 

Scooby-Doo: Mystery crew naturally

Platonic: Other computer friends/peers/nerds

Romantic: Her love is technology tbh

♡ ˙ colin ford, he/him, twenty-four / CASPER MCFADDEN  has been displaced !! originally from CASPER, HE/HIM has found themselves in new york city, WITH their memories . on the SCREEN, they come across as FRIENDLY, CARING, NAIVE, & CHILDISH . we’ll see if their GHOSTS, 1930S MEMORABILIA, & HALLOWEEN personality will be their downfall or their saving grace in these streets.

Considering he still has all of his memories, Casper not only remembers his time as a child, but he also remembers his time as a ghost. While extremely grateful for the opportunity to be alive again, he’s not about to let that secret get out. Who knows what people would say about him then? It’s not like he’s had many people like him over the last ninety years or so anyway, so he’s just hoping to make some more friends again. In many ways, it feels like he’s been given a second chance at this life thing.

Since he hasn’t been in town long, he’s been trying to find a place to settle in while he got the first job he could find as a busboy. For now, the owner of the bar he works at is allowing him to sleep in the back, just until he finds a place of his own. He really loves his job so far though because it allows him to talk to people daily.

Casper hopes that he can eventually put down roots here since he already likes it so much, but while he knows that may take time, he really just wants to find the one or two close people that he can really share his time with and maybe eventually tell them his true story.

Wanted Connections:

Casper: I’d love to have his uncles or Cat from the film, but I’d also love a Wendy from Casper and Wendy. Any witches he might know would be fun to have around as well. Also any relatives via a sibling or something would be GREAT!

Platonic: Friends, friends, and more friends! He’s the friendly ghost after all! Also someone who finds out his secret before he’s ready.

Romantic: He’s a hopeless romantic, but he was technically a ghost when he had his first kiss. He’d love to find someone that he can really connect with though.

Sokka had made his way out into the world on his day off just for food. There were several places not too far from where he lived, so he just began to walk and figured his nose and stomach would make a decision for him when he got there. After walking for several minutes, Sokka eventually wandered into a sushi shop of some kind. It wasn’t the greatest, but it wasn’t bad either. On his way back out, he ended up holding the door open for the guy behind him. “Get anything good?” he asked him, not considered how he might come across.

One particular customer had overextended their welcome to the point that Maverick was beyond exhausted. Time seemed to move more slowly, and he began to start looking at the clock every minute. In fact, he wasn’t completely convinced that it was still working. When they finally left his shop, all Maverick had to do was lock the front door before he could go running upstairs to his family. His energy almost immediately picked up just from knowing that he was about to have more fun than he had all day so far. “Elsa! Connor! Abigail!!!” he called as he ran up the stairs and burst into their living room. “I hope you’re all ready for game night because I thought of a new one today,” he informed them all as he set his hat on the hat stand next to the door and braced himself for incoming hugs.

Her day wasn’t off to a great start as it was, but with her chief telling her to go check out a crime scene in front of his bar, she just knew it was bound to get worse. She hated that he had the only surveillance on that alleyway because any time something went wrong in that area, her precinct had to go speak to him. Naturally, Anabelle drew the short straw this morning. Huffing as she and her partner walked up to the front door, the detective finally took a deep breath and tried her best to let out all of her built up frustration before she knocked. “NYPD,” she called out of protocol. As she waited for the door to open, the brunette took one more deep breath and braced herself for the immaturity that was coming.

While she had almost immediately bought enough books to make herself and impromptu library of her own at home, Susan still enjoyed browsing the university library on her way home. Usually getting at least one book from each of her favorite genres helped ease her worry of not being able to find something later. As she walked through, she enjoyed watching everyone else that she came across just to see if any of them were reading anything interesting. Though, she saw one of the most interesting sights by far today. A beautiful woman was standing in an aisle with a book upside down. She looked rather confused, so Susan put on a smile and took a step towards her. “Are you looking for anything in particular?” she asked gently.

The worst part about meeting his friends for dinner meant that he had to get there on his own. Today, he had nothing else to do, so he left a little bit early just to walk around. This city was so much different than any he was used to. He could somewhat compare it to London, but it still had such a different atmosphere. As he turned the corner to find the restaurant, that’s exactly what he didn’t find. Sirius looked at his watch which revealed he had fifteen minutes until he was supposed to be there, but as he looked up at the street signs, he realized he was completely lost. Great. “Um.. hey there,” he said, smiling up at the first person who came towards him. Fortunately for him, it was a very pretty blonde. “Do you happen to know how to get to Joe’s Pizza?” he asked her hopefully.

Anakin had managed to be scheduled to work the morning shift today, so he had made it to the bar in time for happy hour. Despite having another drinking contest with the owner, he had still had time to sober up enough to head home at sundown. The only reason he wasn’t staying at the bar was because he was getting bored, and there weren’t a lot of people there considering it was a weekday. Walking home slightly tipsy, Anakin smiled at anyone and everyone who made eye contact, especially those he thought were cute. “Hey,” he smiled to one such girl. “Care to grab a movie?” he half-teased with a sloppy grin.
