Same Old People, Wrong Destination

Great news! You're going home from that world you've been stuck in. You know, that world. The one that isn't yours. You've been stuck there for quite some time! Or perhaps you've been sent "home" from your actual home world to a different one. It's all a very messy business really, and we haven't time for the details of getting everyone in the right place!

So more than likely, you end up in a world that isn't yours, regardless of whether you came from your own or from yet another world you've been stuck in. Great, isn't it? But that's not all! Someone is stuck there with you. Maybe you know them from some previous world! Maybe you don't. The point is, they seem to be the only one who doesn't think you're crazy.

You're not going home anytime soon. So what do you - and your hapless companion - do next?

Considerations

1. You can go to any other world you want! It just can’t be one either of your characters are from. You can make up something like a fantasy world, something from a sci-fi, or something just like the modern world. Or you can pick a canon neither of your characters belong to.
2. Ideally they should both be from different canons altogether. But this isn’t required!
3. There’s supposed to be no way back. Even genius characters ought to find it impossible. But does that mean all hope has to be lost? Just how long have your character been stuck, anyway?
4. For an optional extra level of complexity, give consideration to your character’s appearance or to their abilities. Will they stand out in this new world? Will they have to hide what they can do? Or will they even be able to use their powers if the source of their powers is gone?

Prompts

1. Day One - You’ve both just arrived on this world and by chance, you run into each other. Two heads are better than one. Now you just have to figure out what to do next.

2. One Week Later - You’ve been in this world a week. Things are starting to sink in. So is the idea of being stuck here. It’s time to start thinking about the long term.

3. One Month Later - Now that you’ve both been here awhile, you’ve learned the ins and outs of your new home. You’re making a living and getting by, but you still think of home.

4. Six Months Later - It may not be home, but you’ve learned to be comfortable. By now, your relationship with your companion has certainly evolved as well.

5. One Year Later - It’s been long enough that you sometimes wonder if you'll ever get home. So what’s life for you like in this whole new world?

6. Other - Don’t be limited by the above. This could be two weeks later or twenty years later! Of course, you can always time skip once you’ve established what you want to do at one time period.

The weirdest thing about waking up here wasn't the fact that everything around him looked like cheap 8-bit from an old video game. It wasn't that everyone had peculiar yellow skin. It wasn't even that he was fairly certain that everything here was a bunch of American toys. The weirdest thing was that he was still exactly as he had been before - no right angle joints or unbending limbs - except smaller. He was the same size as all the strangely singing people around him.

There were others like him, here and there, but mostly it was a menagerie of what appeared to be...Lego people. Who would either stare at him for a moment before continuing singing that irritatingly catchy song, or would completely ignore him in favor of their routine. Ritsuka stood in the middle of the singing hustle of the city, ears flat against his head, tail swaying in annoyance behind him and tried to flag the attention of the nearest "real" person he could find.

"Hey! Do you know what's going on?"
